I returned to Beijing for a few days, looked at the post-production progress of [Tang Detective 2], and communicated with the editors, so that the movie should not deviate from the style in Gu Wei's heart.

The two directors, Yan Fei and Peng Damo, came back to "work".

At this time, the box office of [Charlotte's Troubles] has exceeded 1 billion, and after the word-of-mouth spreads, there is no need for the crew to do additional publicity, so they naturally want to come back and continue the unfinished work before.

The budgets for the company's two new dramas [Love Saint] and [Chu Qiao's Biography] have been made.

As a small-budget comedy movie, the cost is about 40 million.

The main reason is that the other actors that the actor Xiao Zhen and Wen Mu also plan to invite are not well-known, the salary is relatively cheap, and there are no big scenes when the comedy movie is filmed, and 40 million miles also includes part of the publicity and distribution costs.

[The Legend of Chu Qiao] is different, the estimated cost of this costume drama is more than 100 million, which is a big production that benchmarks [Ancient Sword Strange Tan] and [Hua Qiangu].

However, high investment means high returns, although [Chu Qiao's Biography] did not have Gu Wei's participation, but Zhao Liying's fame alone coupled with high-quality production is enough to ensure that this drama can make [Wei Mingxia] make a lot of money.

Gu Wei was in the office looking at the company's accounts for the recent period.

As a boss, it is a basic ability to read the accounts and read the accounts frequently.

The animated movie "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", which was released in February, was not released until mid-April because of the key to the postponement.

Now in October, half a year has passed, and the box office revenue of the movie has all arrived.

[Wei Mingxia] accounted for 60% of the shares, and the final box office on the company's account was more than 400 million, minus the cost of 100 million invested at that time, this former domestic box office champion brought more than 300 million net profits to the company.

The box office of [Left Ear], which was a big hit in the first half of the year, has also arrived at this time.

At that time, the movie sold more than 800 million, and Gu Wei's salary was invested in shares when he was filming, accounting for one-third of the total investment in the film, and now he has nearly 100 million.

It's just that this is the income from his status as an actor and goes into the account of the agency.

Although two film and television projects are about to start, the company still has a surplus of cash on its books.

If you have more money, you have to find a way to spend it, and then Gu Wei considered buying all the buildings where the company is located as a site for the expansion of the company's scale in the future.

There is also its own charity fund, which is expected to invest 100 million yuan this year.

In this way, the tax can be reduced a lot, and doing charity will also put on a golden coat for themselves in the eyes of the upper echelons.

On October 12, Gu Wei flew to Thailand.

[Operation Mekong] is about to start shooting in Bangkok, and Gu Wei, as the protagonist, certainly can't delay the filming time.

On the plane, he took out the script and read it carefully.

This version of Operation Mekong is actually similar to the original storyline.

It was also the beginning of the "Golden Triangle Murder of Chinese Crew", and then China decided to send anti-drug elites to form a special operation team for this case, with Gao Gang (played by Zhang Hanyu) as the captain, infiltrated the Golden Triangle to find out the truth, and tried his best to find out who was behind the case.

Gu Wei plays the role of the original Peng Yuyan, a Chinese anti-narcotics intelligence officer "Fang Xinwu" who has been lurking in the Golden Triangle for many years.

The only difference is that the storyline of the character "Fang Xinwu" has been enriched.

Whether it is the story line of arresting criminals and getting information when he was lurking alone in the early stage, or the series of battles that took place after Zhang Hanyu arrived in the Golden Triangle and Gu Wei joined the special operations team, his shots and the proportion of scenes he occupied exceeded others.

Under the condition that the main plot does not change, as long as Gu Wei is given a little more shots, then he is the absolute male protagonist.

And Zhang Hanyu changed from the first male protagonist in the original story to the second one.

However, even Zhang Hanyu himself will not care too much about this, he knows that Gu Wei's current fame and box office appeal are not comparable to himself.

Bona hired Gu Wei to play the male lead for the sake of future box office considerations, and Gu Wei's performance at the box office of the movie was recognized by both him and Lin Chaoxian, the director of [Operation Mekong].

The plane landed from Bangkok Airport, and as soon as Gu Wei got off the plane, Yang Dan, the agent next to him, picked up a phone call.

"Boss, I don't know where your itinerary to Bangkok was leaked.

Now the outside of the airport is full of local Thai fans.

The crew of Operation Mekong called and asked us to negotiate with the airport to arrange a certain number of security personnel to escort you out. ”

Yang Dan hung up the phone and said to Gu Wei.

"How many followers can I have in Thailand?"

Gu Wei was a little puzzled, but he still waited for the arrangement of the airport according to what the agent said, and walked out without recklessness.

More than ten minutes later, he was escorted out by a group of airport security personnel.

Sure enough, there is now a crowd of people outside the airport in Bangkok, and the water has been surrounded.

All kinds of local Thai young men and women, some holding support cards with Gu Wei's name printed on them, some holding his posters, and the rest holding their mobile phones high, waiting for the idol to appear.

Gu Wei showed up under heavy protection, and these young fans screamed.

Some shouted in Thai, some in English, and some shouted Gu Wei's name in broken Chinese.

It's a pity that Gu Wei can understand.

After taking over this play, Gu Wei knew that some of the clips in it needed to be in Thai and Burmese, so he found a special language teacher to learn for two days.

After his skills were formed, he naturally mastered two new languages.

Walking out of the airport with difficulty and getting into the car where the crew came to pick up people, Gu Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since he experienced the fanatical pick-up of his fans in China, on the one hand, he agreed with the fans not to pick up the airport, and on the other hand, he kept his itinerary absolutely confidential and never leaked a little to the outside.

So it has been a long time since there has been a fan pick-up in China.

"How can I have so many fans in Thailand?"

"Boss, the two dramas [Shanshan is Coming] and [Smile is Alluring] were very popular when they were broadcast in Thailand, so it's not an exaggeration that you have so many fans here."

Yang Dan explained.

"I'm sorry Mr. Gu Wei, it should be that the staff in the crew told the locals the time of your arrival, and everyone didn't expect this to happen."

The crew who came to pick up the plane said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal, just pay attention to it later."

Gu Wei waved his hand and didn't mind.

……

"Yu Dong, I'm sorry, I'm late!"

After coming to the crew, the first thing I saw was Yu Dong of [Bona].

[Operation Mekong] is the top priority of [Bona] this year, Yu Dong himself served as the producer, and also made a cameo role in the movie.

"It's just right now, tomorrow the crew will officially start filming, Gu Wei, it's just the right time for you to arrive!"

Yu Dong smiled, shook hands with Gu Wei happily, and then patted him on the shoulder to show his closeness.

"I've heard from the people below, Gu Weiling's popularity in Thailand is very strong, and he is worthy of being the first person of the younger generation in our domestic film and television industry, and his reputation will be resounding all over the world in the future, and becoming an international superstar like Cheng Long is just around the corner!"

"Yu Dong, you praised it falsely, I don't know why there are so many fans to pick up the plane today, and I am still in a state of confusion."

Gu Wei smiled bitterly.

"I've already explained it to the people below, and this will definitely not happen in the future!"

Yu Dong assured Gu Wei.

"Director Lin, our actor has arrived!"

led Gu Wei into an office in the crew, where Lin Chaoxian was explaining something to his subordinates.

Director Lin is not tall, bald, with a pair of black-framed glasses, and has the momentum of a great director.

However, after seeing Gu Wei, the face that was still serious just now was immediately replaced by a smiling face.

"Gu Wei, welcome, welcome, I heard your name for a long time, and I finally met today, I am really very handsome, even more handsome than Andy when I was young!"

Lin Chaoxian is a native of Hong Kong Island, but he has been filming in the mainland for many years, and he already speaks Mandarin relatively well.

"The director has won an award, but I dare not compare with Brother Hua~"

Gu Wei also smiled and greeted Director Lin.

The two chatted for a while and slowly got acquainted.

In fact, Lin Chaoxian still had some opinions about Gu Wei at the beginning, after all, his original favorite actor was Peng Yuyan.

However, as Gu Wei's results in the movies released this year are getting better and better, especially after the box office of [Monster Hunt] became the first in film history, he completely changed his mind.

As a director of a commercial film, the ultimate goal is to sell his own movie tickets.

And Gu Wei is obviously the key person who can help the movie sell well at the box office.

Compared with the future box office results of his films, Peng Yuyan, the actor he admires, is not so important.

The next day.

The headlines on the front page of entertainment news here in Thailand reported that Gu Wei arrived in Bangkok and fans were picked up at the airport.

[Asian gods arrive in Thailand, and Bangkok airport is flooded! ] 】

[The king of idol dramas from China is coming to Thailand, and Bangkok fans are enthusiastically welcome! ] 】

【. 】

Many entertainment media in Thailand have reported the news, and there is no shortage of exaggerated words.

The news quickly spread to China, and the mainstream media in China saw the incident as a sign that Gu Wei was promoting the spread of Chinese pop culture overseas.

Just like South Korea spreads the "Korean Wave" across Asia through variety shows and idol artists.

It seems that foreign celebrities are popular, but it is actually an "invasion" of a strong culture to a weak culture.

Many melon-eating netizens also have a great sense of pride when they watch the news.

After all, Gu Wei is an authentic Chinese star, with such a big reputation and so many fans in Thailand, they have a sense of honor.

Not to mention Gu Wei's fans, who began to brag about their idols on the Internet, completely despising other young idols in the entertainment industry.

[It seems that the title of my brother should be changed, it can't be said to be the top of domestic entertainment, it should be called an Asian superstar! ] 】

[Some media said that Gu Wei's two dramas were popular all over Southeast Asia, but I didn't believe it yet, but now it seems that I have a short experience, and sure enough, excellent works can be liked by everyone!!] 】

[I'm not surprised at all about Gu Wei's popularity abroad, just his appearance, he is indiscriminate in the entire Asian entertainment industry, even if there is no work just to look at the face, these foreigners have to be confused! ] 】

[This incident proves that everyone's aesthetics are the same in Asia!]

What, you say it's not the same? That proves that Gu Wei's appearance has crossed the cultural barrier and forcibly unified the aesthetics of people from different countries!! 】
