Chapter 305: First in Film History
The next morning, the early morning sun shone through the window.
Liu Yifei, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, trembled slightly, and then opened his eyes.
Finding herself lying on the bed, she was startled at first, then lifted the quilt and looked inside, and found that she was neatly dressed, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Then I felt a little disappointed.
Sitting up and stretching his waist, his tender white lotus arms were raised high, and his upper body showed a graceful curve under the sun.
After sleeping deeply, Liu Yifei felt extremely energetic, but thinking of last night's sad news, her mood fell again.
She knows very well that something big is a story for herself, but it's just a story for others.
So even if she was still sad in her heart, she didn't think about delaying her work, and the crew should not be responsible for personal matters.
After washing his face, he patted his fair face with cold water.
Talking to himself in the mirror of encouragement:
"Sissi, you can do it, be strong, come on!"
Simply packed up and went out to prepare for today's work.
"Sister Yifei, you're here~"
After arriving at the crew, Gu Wei looked at her and said with some surprise.
"Well, last night."
Liu Yifei was a little embarrassed.
"You were so tired and fell asleep last night, I carried you to bed."
Gu Wei didn't care, and said with a smile.
"Oh ~ that~ thank you!"
Liu Yifei opened her mouth to say something, but finally only thanked her.
"You're welcome.
Our relationship, this is what I should do~"
Gu Wei smiled, the morning sun shone on his handsome face, and also shone on Liu Yifei's heart, dispelling the haze and making her feel extremely relieved at this moment.
She felt as if Gu Wei's whole person was exuding warmth.
"Do you want to rest for a few days, I can coordinate the crew to arrange your role later."
Gu Wei asked.
Taking care of Liu Yifei's emotions is one thing, and he is also afraid that the other party will affect his performance due to his bad state, and then delay the filming progress.
"No, no, I can, trust me!
I'm a professional actor, and personal issues don't affect my work. ”
Liu Yifei looked at Gu Wei with a serious face.
"Well, since you insist, let's go according to the original shooting plan."
The filming continued, and Liu Yifei did what she said, showing her professionalism as a professional actor, and her personal affairs did not affect the quality of filming at all.
In the Zaowang Temple, a group of detectives gathered at the scene of the crime, trying to reconstruct the process when the crime occurred.
Gu Wei and husband and wife Mu Cong looked at the surveillance screen separately, and the video was fast-forwarded little by little under Naza's manipulation.
"Quadruple!"
"Eight times!"
"Sixteen times!"
"Thirty-two times!"
"Come on, Lao Qin, you have to be the fastest man in the world!"
Wang Baoqiang's cheap voice came from the side.
"Click! This shot ends. ”
The assistant director's voice came from the speaker.
Gu Wei ran over and looked at the monitor.
"Okay, this is good, let's take a break and take a shot."
The sound reached the audience, and the actors relaxed.
"Xiao Cui, you find someone to set up the scene and follow the requirements of the next shot."
Gu Wei put down the loudspeaker and said to a young-looking man next to him.
He was tall and thin, fair-skinned, and a little handsome.
"Okay, director, I'll arrange it~"
Xiao Cui's full name is Cui Rui, and he is the person brought over by director Susan.
Don't look young, they are students at USC, and they are still majoring in directing.
USC's full name is the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts, which ranks first among major film schools in the United States.
The famous director George Lucas is an alumnus of USC.
Now that it is summer vacation, Cui Rui came out to run the crew to accumulate experience, and it happened that his mentor was Susan's friend, so he asked Susan to take care of it.
So it was logical to join the crew and become an errand runner.
However, capable people will not be buried anywhere, and his excellent performance at work quickly attracted the attention of the director team.
Sometimes the opinions put forward on some shots surprised Gu Weidu.
"Xiao Cui, do you have any plans when you graduate?"
After completing Gu Wei's explanation, Cui Rui returned to him to stand by.
Gu Wei didn't rush to take the next shot, but chatted with Cui Rui.
"Ah~ I didn't think that far ahead, there is still a year before graduation, I just want to finish the book now.
If you have the opportunity, you can get involved in shooting small projects at school to gain some experience. ”
Cui Rui smiled and replied.
It's very difficult for newcomers in the directing industry to mix, and no investor will invest money at you just because you graduated from a prestigious university.
The ghost director Ning Hao was also born in Beiying, and when he just graduated, he could only receive some jobs for commercials and MVs.
In 2001, Ning Hao won the Best Director Award at the Beijing University Student Film Festival for his student film "Thursday and Wednesday".
It is a little famous in the industry.
But it's still useless, I want to make a movie, but I can't find investors.
Until 2003, he made some money from making commercials, and personally funded the filming of the movie [Incense] that he had always wanted to make.
So in the circle of directors, as long as you haven't proven yourself, no matter how glamorous your other resumes are, it's useless.
"After this period of work contact, I also have an understanding of your abilities.
How about coming to my company after graduation?
Although you can't get started and direct a film independently, but after accumulating some experience with the two groups, the company can let you try it. ”
Gu Wei drew a flatbread and beckoned.
Cui Rui looked a little surprised when he heard Gu Wei's words, and his eyes behind the black-rimmed glasses lit up.
"Thank you director for the opportunity, I will return to China to join you as soon as I graduate."
"Okay, work well in the crew, many of them are your future colleagues, and you can accumulate some network resources first by getting in touch with them.
There will definitely be a chance to work together when you come over in the future. ”
Gu Wei patted his back gently and encouraged.
He always felt that the name Cui Rui was very familiar, as if Gu Wei had seen the name of a movie director made by Chen Sicheng in the original time and space, but he didn't remember it too accurately, and he wasn't sure if it was.
In fact, the movie was promoted from beginning to end by the screenwriter and producer Chen Sicheng, and a lot of the tidbits released were also Director Chen's right to execute the director behind the monitor.
Everyone regards the movie as Chen Sicheng's work, and no one cares who the real director is.
Gu Wei also saw on the Internet that the film director's column was not written by Chen Sicheng, so he took a special look.
However, regardless of whether Cui Rui is the cutting-edge director who made a blockbuster movie later, Gu Wei sees his ability, so there is no problem in recruiting him.
"Boss, your call~"
Just when Gu Wei was about to call the staff to prepare for the next scene, Chao Yue's assistant timidly came up with his mobile phone.
Gu Wei frowned and took it.
It's a little uncomfortable to be disturbed at work.
"It's Mr. Yang~"
Xiao Chaoyue, who handed over the phone, made up his mouth.
Mr. Yang is Yang Liwen, she is the general manager of the brokerage company, and these agents and assistants in the company call her so.
"Hello?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I'm disturbing your work."
Yang Liwen's voice on the other side of the phone was a little excited.
"You say."
Gu Wei knew that he was filming outside, and Yang Liwen would not bother him if there was nothing important.
"[Monster Hunt] has a box office of 2.45 billion today, surpassing [Super 7], and has truly become the first box office in domestic film history!"
"Great, how many days are left until the movie ends?"
Gu Wei was also very happy to hear the news, from the release of [Titanic] in China to now, more than ten years, domestic films have finally won the real first place in the domestic film market.
The shadow of Hollywood blockbusters is slowly dissipating, which is one thing that deserves the joy of all filmmakers in China.
"There are still two weeks, and according to the predictions of some professionals, the final landing point of [Monster Hunt] may be around 2.6 billion."
Gu Wei thought about it, and according to the analysis of this final box office result, [Monster Hunt] can be regarded as winning this time.
At most, the box office will end just over [Super 7], and the money is not blowing in the wind, and there is no difference in reputation between more than 10 million and more than 100 million.
Even if you have your own theater, it will cost 10 million to brush the box office of 100 million, not to mention that it will almost exceed 200 million now.
Gu Wei's own addition really helped [Monster Hunt] sell well.
After chatting with Yang Liwen about the company, Gu Wei hung up the phone.
He was in a very good mood at the moment, and after thinking about it, he said a word to the assistant director next to him.
The assistant director nodded and took out the loudspeaker.
"Everyone, I just got the news in China that the box office of [Monster Hunt] surpassed [Super 7] and officially became the first place in domestic film history!"
The staff in the crew was suddenly jubilant, and everyone was happily talking to each other.
Although this movie is not produced by Gu Wei Company, as a filmmaker, everyone is simply happy for the victory of domestic films.
The local staff in New York were confused and didn't know what was going on.
After making everyone happy for a while, the shooting continued, and it was obvious that the domestic staff were more active, and the work efficiency was higher than before.
In the evening, Gu Wei specially arranged a big meal for everyone in the hotel as a celebration.
There was no alcohol for dinner, but everyone was very happy.
After eating, he returned to the room, Gu Wei was still tidying up in the house, and the doorbell rang.
You don't have to guess to know who's coming.
Go to the door and open the door.
Sure enough, Naza was wearing pale yellow close-fitting pajamas and stood in the doorway.
It's obviously a big beauty, standing there looking around like a little mouse who comes out to steal food.
After letting her into the house, Gu Wei said helplessly:
"Why do you feel a little sneaky every time you come over?"
Naza let go of the door as soon as she entered, walked a few steps generously on the sofa, picked up the strawberry on the coffee table in front of her and took a bite.
"I don't want to, I'm afraid people will see it."
"What's terrible, whether it's in the crew or in the company, I'm the biggest.
Besides, there are only a few directors and a few leading actors on this level, everyone is smart, and no one will talk much. ”
Gu Wei said indifferently.
The more upper-level people in the circle, the more ordinary they look at some private things, and no one will talk much under everyone's tacit understanding.
Gu Wei also sat down, and Nazha wrapped her hands around his neck.
"I know you don't care, but I care about your reputation, after all, you are the boss and the director, it's better not to let others know about this kind of thing."
As he spoke, he took a strawberry and fed it to Gu Wei.
"I don't have a role in the next two days, I want to go around somewhere else in New York~"
Gu Wei ate strawberries and thought about it.
"No problem, I'll ask Yang Dan to find you a guide who can speak Chinese, and you bring your assistant Xiao Tao with you."
Then he was a little uneasy.
"Let's take two more security guards with you."
"There's no need for such a big battle, I'm just going out for a walk, so many people are following~"
Naza felt exaggerated.
"After all, this is a foreign country, and the security cannot be compared with that at home.
Even if there's only a 1 in 10,000 chance, I don't want any accidents to happen to you. ”
"Hmm~ listen to you!"
Nazha was very moved when she heard Gu Wei's words, and looked at him with a pair of big watery eyes, full of affection.
Gu Wei didn't think anything of it, he thought his arrangement was normal.
The big star, the big tycoon, is not surrounded by the appearance staff, and there are groups of bodyguards.
"That's right!"
Gu Wei remembered something, got up and took out a black card from his bag on the table next to him.
"You have to exchange dollars for dollars when you go out to buy something, and this card is for you to use."
Naza took it and looked up and down curiously.
"Could this be the legendary black card?"
Seeing the color of the card, she immediately thought of the legend of the black card with various privileges and unlimited amounts.
"The legend is not true, but it is indeed a black card.
The bank said that there is no upper limit, but it is good to listen to this kind of thing.
You go out and spend though, I'll pay! ”
Gu Wei said lightly.
"Great!"
Naza happily kissed Gu Wei's cheek.
She didn't say anything polite to Gu Wei, anyway, everything was given by Gu Wei, and she was happier with Gu Wei's attitude than this card.
After being happy for a while, Naza handed the black card she had just gotten on the coffee table.
One turned around and rode onto Gu Wei's lap, wrapped his hands around his neck, leaned his head forward, and whispered in Gu Wei's ear:
"I don't have a shooting assignment tomorrow, so you don't have to worry that I won't be able to get out of bed and delay my work~"
Gu Wei was not polite, and put his arms around her soft and thin waist.
Seeing Naza's little face flushed, her eyes full of longing.
"I'm scared of you!"
With a sigh, he picked up Naza and walked towards the bedroom.
