Chapter 316: You're Different from What I Thought Before
[Tang Detective 2] is all filmed, and the rest is post-production.
This is not difficult, Gu Wei has the finished film in his mind, he roughly talked to the editor in the company about the main style and rhythm, and left the rest to the professionals.
All he needs to do is wait until the rough cut comes out and tell the editor which piece needs to be changed.
Then the revisions were made version after version until Gu Wei was satisfied.
Speaking of which, the editor will be very hard, but there is no way to do it, who let Gu Wei, who is too busy as a director, and there are many things that cannot be done by himself, so he can only make his subordinates work harder.
[The richest man in Xihong City] is still in production, and the company's editing department has added new activities.
But fortunately, [Tang Detective 2] is tentatively scheduled to be released in the summer next year, and there is plenty of time.
In addition, some time ago, the company recruited several experienced editors from Huayi Brothers through headhunting, so even if a new project was added, it could be busy.
In other words, Huayi has been engaged in de-filmization since last year, and there are fewer films every year, and the big and small kings are always busy with real estate and building any movie town, and they may feel that making movies is too slow to make money, or building houses to make money quickly.
It's not good for Gu Wei to comment too much on this kind of thing.
Judging from the current situation in this time period, engaging in real estate is indeed profitable.
But Gu Wei has always believed that a person can only earn money within the scope of his cognition.
What does it mean, that is, you can do whatever you will do in order to make money, and don't touch what you don't understand, even if you see others making money.
Just like Gu Wei knows that there will be several good opportunities in the Internet industry in the next few years, such as short videos, Pinduoduo in the sinking market of online shopping, Didi Dache, which was renamed this year, etc., all of which have achieved giant companies with a market value of hundreds of billions in the later stage.
But if you want him to set up a company to seize the market in these industries in advance, and fight with other competitors with real weapons, Gu Wei can't do it.
He knows that he is not that material, even if he knows that this industry can get up, he is afraid that in the end it will be a stepping stone for others.
So he is at most a venture capitalist, just like he invested in [ByteDance] before, he only takes money and doesn't do anything, and even entrusts the voting rights of shareholders to Zhang.
Easier said than done, and many things are not something you can do if you know it.
Gu Wei felt that his ability was limited, so it was better to be his big star in the entertainment industry.
After the company's affairs were busy, Gu Wei took a flight to Shanghai overnight.
[Langya Bang] has been warmed up for nearly a month in the early stage, with double broadcasts in Beijing and Shanghai, exclusive broadcast of Tengxun video on the Internet, Gu Wei's popularity guarantee, and the quality of [Noon Sunshine] is at the bottom, and the three major platforms are full of confidence in this costume conspiracy drama.
All kinds of propaganda took turns to bombard the audience, from TV stations to the Internet.
The audience also expressed great expectations for this so-called first costume drama since Gu Wei's film career.
In particular, many of his avid fans spontaneously promote the TV series on major platforms on the Internet every day.
The crew's official Weibo has also been sending various stills and video tidbits to attract everyone's attention.
The TV series became popular before it was broadcast.
This status quo is very different from the situation of the obscurity and unattention of the original time and space [Langya Bang].
The reason is also very simple, because the protagonist is Gu Wei, the top of the domestic fault at this stage, and the first person in the young generation of actors in terms of popularity, popularity, and actual performance.
The three TV series he has participated in since his career have all been popular, and [Shanshan is Coming], which has relatively the worst results in horizontal comparison, can also be called the hot drama of the year, and the other two are even more phenomenal.
And Gu Wei's influence has now not stopped in China, at the end of last year, after [Shanshan is Coming] was sold to Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asian countries, the broadcast results were very good.
His domineering president style and handsome appearance in the play have fascinated many local girl audiences, and also captured the hearts of many exotic female fans.
This year, after the completion of the broadcast in China, because of the foundation laid by [Shanshan], the copyright of TV dramas in Southeast Asia sold very well.
The package price of Japan, South Korea and Wanwan is 10 million per family, and a total of 30 million in Southeast Asian countries, including Thailand.
The 60 million copyright fee does not seem to be a lot compared with China, but it is completely free.
The most important thing is to further spread Gu Wei's influence.
It was already late at night when the plane landed, and for the sake of convenience, Gu Wei did not go back to COFCO Seaview's house, but directly checked into the hotel prepared for him by the program team.
In order to promote the new drama [Langya Bang], Gu Wei accepted the invitation of the broadcast platform Shanghai Satellite TV to participate in the recording of their popular variety show [Extreme Challenge] this year.
Since the explosion of [Running Man] introduced by Blueberry TV from South Korea last year, major local satellite TV has imitated and produced their own outdoor variety shows, hoping to take advantage of this wave of popularity to rub some traffic, which is also an exploration of this new situation variety show.
Shanghai is no exception, but they did it more carefully and deeply, and did not pat their heads and copy [Running Man], but specially purchased the copyright of the popular Korean entertainment [Infinite Challenge] from South Korea's MBC, and made [Extreme Challenge] on this basis.
Spend a lot of money to invite Huang Bo, Sun Honglei, Huang Lei, Luo Zhixiang, Wang Xun, and Zhang Yixing to serve as regular members.
Sure enough, as soon as the show was broadcast, it attracted countless praises from the audience, and several people known as the "Extreme Men's Gang" had their own personalities and did their best to record the new variety show [Extreme Challenge] very excitingly.
Early the next morning, Gu Wei came to the recording place of the program group under the guidance of the staff.
"Little pig, Wang Xun, Yixing, morning~"
When Gu Wei arrived at the venue, it was only the three of them.
Extreme men help these people, only the least famous Wang Xun is the most familiar with Gu Wei, because they have just finished filming the movie [Tang Detective 2] together, and Wang Xun plays the godson "Lu Guofu" of the seventh uncle in it.
Piggy Luo Zhixiang had a relationship with each other when he was filming a Pepsi Cola advertisement before, and he knew each other, as for Zhang Yixing, he only heard his name and did not see him, and today is the first time he has seen him.
"Director, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon!"
Wang Xun grinned and said to Gu Wei.
"When you leave the crew, you don't need to call me director, just call me by name."
"How can it be done, the title can't be messed up!"
Wang Xun refused without hesitation.
Gu Wei smiled and didn't say anything.
After saying hello to Luo Zhixiang, Gu Wei turned his gaze to Zhang Yixing, who had a somewhat dull expression.
"Brother Wei is good!"
Zhang Yixing's attitude is very respectful, and he looks very polite at a glance.
"Everyone is young, so you don't have to be so inhibited."
Gu Wei saw that he seemed a little nervous, and said softly with relief.
"I used to have dinner with Xiaolu and Zitao in the capital."
Hearing Gu Wei mention his former teammates, Zhang Yixing was suddenly a little curious.
"Brother Wei, do you know them?"
"I met Fawn when I was making a movie."
Then he remembered something and smiled.
"Zitao, have you read the news of London Fashion Week, he sat next to me at the end, and we met after the fashion show."
As soon as Gu Wei reminded him, Zhang Yixing also thought of Huang Zitao's previous troubles, and he couldn't hold back his happiness.
"At the dinner table, they were talking about you."
"Oh, what do they say?"
Zhang Yixing was the most curious.
"They said you worked very hard."
After Gu Wei finished speaking, he emphasized again.
"It's been a special effort!"
Zhang Yixing touched his head and smiled a little innocently.
"Maybe I'm a little stupid and don't know what to do, so I just have to do more."
The two chatted a few more words, and the relationship between them quickly became closer.
Zhang Yixing looked at Gu Wei.
"Brother, I feel that seeing you in person today is a little different from what I imagined."
Now it was Gu Wei's turn to be curious.
"Is it better or worse?"
"Of course it's better, very approachable!"
Zhang Yixing hurriedly said.
"And what did you imagine me to be?"
"It turns out that when I first returned to China, I felt that your popularity and status in China were so high, just like Rain in South Korea, it must be a very big name and it was not easy to contact."
"Oh? It seems that Rain always plays big names in South Korea! ”
Gu Wei deliberately teased him.
"No, I didn't mean that, I want to talk about your two respective positions in the entertainment industry."
Zhang Yixing was a little flustered and didn't know what to say.
"Haha~ Don't worry, I'm kidding."
As he spoke, Gu Wei patted him on the shoulder to express comfort.
Not long after, Huang Bo, Huang Lei and "Yan Wang" Sun Honglei arrived at the shooting site one after another.
Gu Wei greeted them one by one.
Several people were also very enthusiastic about him.
Among them, Huang Lei is also a teacher of Beiying, and he is very cordial to Gu Wei, a student from Beiying.
Huang Bo jokingly said to Sun Honglei: "Hong Lei, your title of King Yan is not worthy of the name, what is the real good value today!" ”
"It's different, Gu Wei and I belong to different types of handsome guys, don't speculate about our handsome guy circle with your appearance, you can't get along."
Sun Honglei walked up to Gu Wei, put his arms around his shoulders, and said to Huang Bo.
"This one Gu Wei is really handsome, and the one of yours is called cricket!"
Teacher Huang Lei ruthlessly dismantled his stage on the side.
A few people were talking and laughing, and Gu Wei was watching very interestingly from the side.
He thinks that some variety shows have been recorded for a long time, and he can really make some good friends, and he is very happy to be noisy with each other.
Of course, the most important thing is that you have to meet people with high emotional intelligence and can play, and if you can't make jokes or record shows, you just have to cope with work, and that kind of person will definitely not be able to deliver.
Gu Wei knew that the "little sheep" Zhang Yixing was able to be taken to act in a lot of plays later because he was on the [Extreme Challenge] and handed over to the eldest brothers of these uncles.
For example, Sun Honglei, who has been bullying him in the show, took him to play the hot drama "Mr. Good" starring himself this year, and a few years later, he didn't forget to bring his little brother to shoot the popular theme "Sweeping Black Storm".
Huang Bo's directorial debut [A Good Show] also found Zhang Yixing to play a supporting actor.
To be honest, Zhang Yixing's acting skills can't be said to be very poor, basically nothing.
As he himself said, he worked hard, but that's all he had to do.
It's still good to dance on stage, but there is really no talent in terms of actors.
In addition, he is the one with the least number of famous fans among the four sons who returned to China, and his resources in the mainland are definitely not as good as a few of his teammates.
Of course, this also shows that Zhang Yixing's own personality should be good, otherwise Sun Honglei and Huang Bo are all old oilmen who have been in the entertainment industry for many years, and it is impossible to help him if the relationship is not to a certain extent.
Everyone chatted for a while, and a staff member from the program team came over to remind them that soon this episode of [Extreme Challenge] will start recording.
The name of this episode is "File and Ice March", and it was recorded for a full day, starting in the morning and ending in the evening.
The whole process is not complicated, and the program team has prepared 7 ice cubes of different weights to distribute to everyone, which is everyone's starting capital.
There will be a variety of games in between, and everyone has the opportunity to win the ice cubes in the hands of others through the wins and losses of the games, until the end, whoever has the heaviest weight of the ice cubes in their hands will win today.
"Then I'll say a few words, Gu Wei is a guest today, our Extreme Men Gang must show our enthusiasm and give the guests the warmest hospitality!"
When everyone sat side by side, Huang Lei said facing the camera.
I don't know if the hospitality he said was serious.
Sun Honglei understood what he meant in seconds.
"Hehe~ This is no problem, Gu Wei, you will follow me today, everyone knows that I Sun Honglei is the kindest, you see Huang Bo and your teacher Huang Lei, they are more refined than monkeys when they are stained with hair, I will definitely help you throughout the whole process today."
Sun Honglei looked at Gu Wei stupidly and said.
Zhang Yixing on the side was a little speechless and stopped.
Wang Xun on the other side of Gu Wei said to him:
"Director, you can't trust any of these people."
Sun Honglei was not happy.
"How do you speak, who doesn't know my reputation as an honest and honest little Langjun?"
"Hurry up, ask Yixing if you believe it or not."
Wang Xun said exaggeratedly.
Gu Wei smiled on the side and watched as these people were doing the show.
I have to say that the variety show sense of [Extreme Challenge] is very good.
It's not that the kind of embarrassing performance that makes the audience laugh, or he deliberately laughs in front of the camera for the sake of the effect of the show, but sets up different characters for himself, or smart, or black-bellied, or honest, and creates jokes through the conflict points of each other's characters in the show.
The recording of the day went smoothly, and the program team intimately used a few small details of making games to promote [Langya Bang].
For example, there is a big rag doll costume that everyone wears to hand out flyers, and the first one wins the victory, and the flyer they send is the propaganda advertisement of [Langya Bang].
There are promotional pictures of the TV series, the introduction of the leading actors, and the TV station and time that went online, and this kind of publicity will not disgust the audience at all in the show.
In the game, "King Yan" Sun Honglei betrayed again without accident, but Gu Wei had expected it and never believed him, but the poor "little sheep" Zhang Yixing was injured again.
Wang Xun has been trying to help him with something around Gu Wei, a little flattering, and Gu Wei's kindness to him is still very useful.
Huang Lei said at the beginning of the show that Gu Wei's teacher would definitely take care of him or something, and when it came to the game, he was better than anyone else, and completely forgot what he had said to Gu Wei at the beginning.
However, in the evening, the show was recorded to the end, and today's victory was still won by Gu Wei.
On the one hand, his own excellent physical and mental strength is one thing, and on the other hand, he also feels the kindness of the program team.
Ladies and gentlemen, due to tomorrow's holiday, I have been busy with family affairs during the day today, and I will have a chapter today. Now I owe you a total of 5 chapters, and I strive to pay it back in October.
