Chapter 318: The Great Wave of Gold Rush

After eating in the morning, I warmed up with Tang Yan for a while, went downstairs and got into the nanny car and went straight to the airport.

In the car, Gu Wei had been looking at the scenery outside the window, and felt that the little assistant's two eyes were staring directly at him, and asked a little strangely:

"What do you think I'm doing?"

"Ah~ Boss, it's okay, uh, I see you're so handsome."

Xiao Chaoyue reacted, lowered his head, and stammered casually with an excuse.

Gu Wei was a little baffled, but he didn't care too much.

Yang Chaoyue secretly raised his head again and looked at his handsome boss.

'The appearance is really unparalleled, and the person is also very good, but it's a pity that he is a scumbag! ’

She thought to herself.

It's the second time she's followed her boss to this house in Shanghai, and this time she knows who the woman who spent the night here is, the big star Tang Yan, the heroine of [Langya Bang] who cooperated with the boss.

went abroad for more than a month before, and when they went to buy planes and mansions in the later period, she thought that Nazha was the boss's official girlfriend, but it was only a few days after returning to China, and she saw a second woman, and she was also a first-line female star.

Yang Chaoyue has not been Gu Wei's life assistant for a long time, and he is not sure if there are only these two women by his boss's side.

But one thing she can be sure of now is that her boss is indeed a scumbag and didn't run away.

The nanny car was about to drive to the airport, and Gu Wei's phone rang.

Looking down, a wry smile appeared on his face, it was a call from Zhao Liying.

"Hey, Liying?"

"Boss Gu doesn't need to explain something to me?"

Zhao Liying on the other side of the phone was a little impulsive.

"Eh~ I'm to blame for this, but it's not that I deliberately want to miss the appointment, it's really full of schedules for the next half a year.

I watched the drama opened by the company, and the heroine is only capable of you, so it has become the current situation. ”

Gu Wei first admitted his mistake, and then praised Zhao Liying.

"Originally, when I received the script from your company, I thought you were going to fulfill your previous promise, and I took it with joy, but I didn't expect to be told that the actor had someone else today.

Do you know how disappointed I am?

I feel cheated on by my best friend! ”

Zhao Liying said with some grievances.

"You're right, this matter is indeed something I did wrong, words don't count, if you want to beat or scold, I will admit it."

"Poof~ What am I beating you and scolding you for, inexplicable~"

Zhao Liying, who was originally a little angry, heard Gu Wei's sincere apology, and the anger in her heart disappeared a lot.

"That's it this time, but this TV series doesn't count, you have to compensate me for the two of us that you promised me before."

Gu Wei thought about it.

"No problem, what I promised you before still counts."

"That's pretty much it!"

Gu Wei said this, and Zhao Liying's mood completely improved.

The two chatted for a while, and Gu Wei hung up the phone after arriving at the airport.

Hengdian, after hanging up the phone with Gu Wei, Zhao Liying's heart was full of thoughts for a while.

After the explosion of [Hua Qiangu] in the first half of the year, her fame has risen to a great level, but there are pros and cons, and more and more people hack her on the Internet.

Due to the disagreement on the scene, she had a falling out with her original agent He Ru, and changed her agent before the contract period expired.

And the last straw that broke the camel's back was on the [Flower Thousand Bone].

Originally, the first invitation to Zhao Liying from the [Hua Qiangu] crew was refused, but at that time, the crew directly found Zhao Liying herself with the attitude of trying it out.

After reading the script, she felt very fond of it, but it was also at this time that she knew that the agent rejected [Hua Qiangu] for herself without knowing it.

So at that time, she made up her mind that she must change her agent.

The explosion of [Flower Thousand Bone] is an opportunity.

But the original agent He Ru was not willing to go away like this, and after breaking up with Zhao Liying, he spread rumors about her on the Internet, and there was a kind of situation that would ruin your posture if you couldn't get it.

She is now overwhelmed, and the original popularity has become black and red.

Gu Wei found her in a play at this time, in fact, Zhao Liying was still very happy.

She has read the script of [Chu Qiao's Biography], it is a real big heroine TV series, and it is very popular to act well, the only flaw is that the male protagonist is not Gu Wei.

But after this call, even this shortcoming is gone.

I was still reading a report about [Langya Bang] on my phone just now, and she knew what the TV series with Gu Wei would become.

Now that Gu Wei has promised to guarantee the bottom, he will definitely have a popular TV series in the future.

A few days after Gu Wei returned to the capital, as the number of episodes on the air increased, the popularity of [Langya Bang] rose unprecedentedly fast.

Gu Wei's previous TV series, whether it was [A Smile is Alluring] in the first half of this year, or last year's two dramas, were broadcast in the weekly theater of the TV station, and they were only broadcast 2~3 days a week.

And [Langya Bang] is the same as ordinary TV series, two episodes a day, every day.

This makes the audience who watch the drama too addicted.

In particular, the plot of [Langya Bang] is not dragged at all, the plot rhythm is very tight, basically 4 episodes of a small case.

Every case seems to be sudden, but in fact it is the result of many years of investigation by "Mei Changsu".

Each case drives the plot well, the suspense is compact, and many reversals and routines are unexpected.

In the process of the plot being promoted, the most impressive thing is a small box of "Mei Changsu", which is lined with the brands of the six departments of the imperial court.

When a department is brought down, the corresponding brand is put into the charcoal brazier and burned, this detail makes the audience particularly enjoyable.

And the details of the TV series are very rigorous.

Every place in the play shows full sincerity, and the jade crown on the head of "Mei Changsu" is made of real jade.

The books in Su's house are all flipped-through, and most of them are annotated.

The tea poured next to "Mei Changsu" will be steaming, and there will be precipitation at the bottom of the bowl of Chinese medicine, so you need to shake the bowl gently before drinking.

After many viewers visited, they shouted for the work of conscience.

Some fans of the drama watch it on TV, and they have to watch it again on the online video platform, which is quite a bit of a posture that they never get tired of watching.

However, these Gu Wei have no time to scruple for the time being, everything he can do is done, the quality of the [Langya Bang] is there, and it is normal for a big fire to explode.

After he returned to the capital, he was busy in the company every day to do something that is very important to the company at this stage, that is, to find suitable director talents.

"Director Zhao, we also understand your situation, and we will notify the company that we will call you later."

In the company's small conference room, Zhao Mingcheng said to a middle-aged man in front of him.

The other party is an experienced advertising director, and now he wants to change his career to become a film and television director, so he specially came to Gu Wei's company for an interview.

"Is there anything else today?"

Gu Wei asked.

In the past two days, he has met with many people, some of whom graduated from the directing major, are not very old, and have no experience in shooting long-form film and television dramas at all.

There are also some who have worked in other positions in the crew before and want to try to be directors.

There may be people who are really capable.

But there was not a single familiar face, and Gu Wei didn't dare to practice with his company's projects.

"There's one more."

Zhao Mingcheng, who was interviewing with him next to him, said.

"I'll take a look at the information!"

Gu Wei took the last resume, but he didn't expect to give him a surprise at a glance.

Because the name of the interview director is Wen Muye.

"Are you here?"

Gu Wei hurriedly asked.

Zhao Mingcheng communicated with the staff next to him.

"It's already here, waiting outside."

"Let him in."

Gu Wei was a little impatient, panning for gold in the big waves, but he didn't expect to really find gold today.

Wen Mu is also the director of the movie "I Am Not the God of Medicine", which was canonized a few years later.

Although when the movie was released, everyone thought that producers Ning Hao and Xu Zheng were the souls of [I am not the God of Medicine], and the director Wen Mu was just a young man who had taken shit luck.

But later, after he successively directed "My Motherland and Me" and "Miracle Stupid Child" with great success, no one doubted his directing ability.

Soon Wen Mu also knocked on the door and came in.

He is very young, about 30 years old, and there are few such young faces in the directorial industry.

Dressed in black casual clothes, with short hair and a large black-rimmed glasses on his face, he looks bookish.

After entering the door, he first said hello to a few people in the room, and then sat down, a little reserved.

"Wen Dao, hello, I've admired the name for a long time~"

Gu Weishang said politely first.

Wen Mu also smiled.

"Mr. Gu, speaking of which, we are still alumni.

I was admitted to the directing department of Beijing Film in 11 years to study for a master's degree, and I have seen you in some open classes of the directing department, but I was just one of the many ordinary students sitting in the back row at that time, and you must not have an impression of me. ”

Gu Wei didn't expect that he would meet this young director who later became famous in school.

"Then I should call Senior Brother Wen."

"Don't dare, Mr. Gu, you were a man of the year when you were in school, and there was no one in the director department or the acting department who didn't know you in those sessions, and I was too far from you."

Wen Mu is also a smart person, and he got closer to Gu Wei after a few words when he came in.

"How did Senior Brother Wen come up with my small company?"

Gu Wei asked.

"[Wei Mingxia] is not a small company now, whether it is a movie or a TV series, it is very famous in the industry."

"I look at your resume, the movie [City in Love] that you participated in directing was only released last month, right?

can be regarded as a professional director who has experience in directing films with large investments. ”

Speaking of this, Wen Mu also smiled bitterly.

"I made a few short films when I was in school and won some awards.

Last year, I had the opportunity to participate in directing that love movie with the help of my mentor.

"City in Love" is a platter movie, and I am one of the five directors.

To be honest, I feel that I made it okay, but unfortunately the movie failed at the box office after its release.

I was originally a rookie director, and now my first film is hitting the streets, and basically no one dares to look for me in the follow-up. ”

Wen Mu also said very truthfully, and his current situation is indeed not very good.

Even if a well-known director messes up a movie, it is difficult to make a film and attract investment.

Not to mention a fledgling new director like him.

Originally, investors couldn't trust him, and now that they see that this only movie is still a failure, they won't use him.

After saying these words, Wen Mu was also very worried in his heart.

He really wanted to make movies, and years of study, if there was no use, it would be very painful.

Although he is also very confident in his abilities, his current resume is really not enough to win people's trust.

It's true that he made a few award-winning short films when he was in school, but the experience of his first film being a box office fiasco after graduation is also real.

Gu Wei listened to Wen Muye's words and didn't pay much attention to it.

The responsibility for the box office fiasco of [City in Love] is not him, on the contrary, Gu Wei has seen the small unit he filmed, which is relatively good.

I chatted with the other party about some filming and asked some questions, and Wen Mu also answered them fluently.

In the end, Gu Wei stood up with a smile and stretched out his hand to Wen Mu.

"Director Wen, if you have no objections, you can sign the contract in a while and become the contracted director of [Wei Mingxia]."

Wen Mu didn't expect that this would be the thing that was hopeless.

He was slightly excited when he got up to shake hands with Gu Wei.

"Thank you, Mr. Gu, I will definitely live up to your value and do my best to make a good movie arranged by the company."

"Coincidentally, the company is preparing a new movie, and the director has not yet been decided, so if you have no problem, I can give you this movie."

Gu Wei said.

"No problem, no problem, I can definitely shoot it!"

Wen Mu didn't expect that this was a double happiness, so easy to have another movie to make?

Gu Wei patted Wen Muye on the shoulder and asked the staff on the side to arrange for him to sign the contract.

After a while, in Gu Wei's office.

He sat opposite Wen Mu on the reception sofa next to him.

skillfully brewed tea on the tea table in front of him and handed it to Wen Muye.

Director Wen took it with both hands and took a sip slowly.

"Look, this is the script for the movie I just mentioned, a romantic comedy based on an American movie called "Lady in Red."

took the script in Gu Wei's hand, and wrote two big words on the cover - [Love Saint]!

Wen Mu also opened the script and looked at it slowly.

Gu Wei didn't make a sound, picked up the Biluochun he had brewed and drank it slowly.

This was sent by Mr. Sun Zhonghuai of Tengxun Video, Gu Wei felt better than the previous Longjing, the tea soup was green and clear, the aroma was overflowing, and the aftertaste was long-lasting.

After a while, Wen Mu also closed the script, raised his head and said to Gu Wei confidently:

"Mr. Gu, this script has been written very well, the story is relatively simple, and there will be no big problems in filming."

"Okay, the male protagonist of this movie has already decided on our company's actor Xiao Yan, and you can watch and choose the rest."

Gu Wei took a sip of the teacup and said slowly.

"By the way, for the role of Yoyo in the movie, you can find a Korean artist named Clara, I think she is quite suitable."

Gu Wei remembered something and suddenly added.

When he watched the movie "Love Saint" before, what impressed him the most was the part where Clara appeared, if he changed actors, he couldn't think of any female star in domestic entertainment who could perform that taste.

"Clara"

Wen Mu also muttered her name, obviously not knowing who she was.

"I've seen each other's works before, and I think the image is very suitable, and you don't have to care too much, except for the male protagonist Xiao Yan, you can make your own decisions about other people.

After the filming of this film, I still have a big production of realism on my side, which is one of the company's most important projects for the next year.

Good job, I'll keep the position of the director of that movie for you. ”

Gu Wei added, and drew a big pie for Wen Mu.

Since he opened the company, he has become more and more accustomed to drawing big cakes for people, and Gu Wei doesn't know if the boss has this problem.

"Understand, Mr. Gu, I will work hard to make this movie well."

Wen Mu also listened to Gu Wei's words and replied with an excited face.

He felt that coming to Gu Wei's company was the most correct decision he had ever made.

He is a young director who has just failed, and he has a movie to shoot immediately after joining the company, and the boss even thinks about the follow-up films, which is simply Bole!

Gu Wei looked at Wen Muye, who had an excited expression on the other side, and nodded with a smile.

The cake was not painted in vain, and it seems that there will be more paintings in the future.
