Yang Liwen knew that Gu Wei was joking, so she held a stack of scripts and put them on the table in front of Gu Wei and smiled.

"Boss, these are the scripts that have recently come to you and need to be answered as soon as possible.

There are several big companies, big directors, big productions, and I have special marks.

There is also a promise that will give you a certain share of the investment"

Gu Wei was used to this, and he knew that even so many scripts might have been screened by his agent.

can only say that there is really no shortage of filming for popular stars, especially after you have proved your box office appeal, there are companies and directors in the circle who want to cooperate with you.

Just like when Shuangzi was the most popular, she filmed more than a dozen TV series a year, and the salary was calculated on a daily basis, even so, the crew looking for her was still in an endless stream.

Just because she is famous and has fans.

What's more, Gu Wei, who is far above Shuangzi in terms of popularity, fame, and coffee position, doesn't have too many crew members who want to hug his thighs.

Everyone knows that as long as Gu Wei joins the crew, the TV series will definitely not have to worry about having no platform to buy, and the movie has its own popularity and a large number of movie-watching fans, which can basically be said to be lying down to make money, the difference is to earn more and earn less.

In this case, who crew doesn't want to work with him.

It's nothing more than a matter of handing over a script, in case Gu Wei takes a fancy to the shit luck, there will be investors waving checks to come to the door immediately, green light all the way from filming to release, don't be too cool.

shouted that the assistant made a cup of coffee for Yang Liwen, and he flipped through the books.

Yang Liwen also sat on the sofa on the side of the office, picked up the steaming latte and blew it, took a sip slowly, and waited quietly for Gu Wei.

At Gu Wei's current stage, the scripts in front of him are basically meritorious, either large companies, well-known directors, or the stories are very exciting, and he is more careful than before.

I just came out of Ni Ni in the morning, and now I have an invitation related to her.

[The Legend of Wukong], a best-selling Journey to the West movie adapted from the same name.

The movie is produced by [Xinli Media] and directed by Guo Zijian, with a total investment of about 200 million, and the role of Gu Wei is naturally the protagonist "Monkey King".

The name Guo Zijian may be unfamiliar to most audiences, but in fact, the famous "Journey to the West" is co-directed by Zhou Xingchi and Guo Zijian, and he is also one of the screenwriters.

It's just that Zhou Xingchi's name is too big, his limelight overshadows everyone, everyone only knows that [Journey to the West] is Zhou Xingchi's work, and Guo Zijian, who co-directed it, was ignored by everyone.

Of course, this is only from the perspective of ordinary audiences, in the industry, Director Guo's fame is still very big.

Gu Wei remembered that the heroine of this movie "Ah Zi" was played by Ni Ni, and he didn't know if the crew had sent an invitation to Ni Ni now.

Because he watched [The Legend of Wukong], Gu Wei also went to watch the movie after the movie version was released.

The special effects are good, and the fight scenes are also very burning, but just like [Qimen Dunjia] that Ni Ni is about to shoot, the story line is too weak, there are many plot loopholes, and the adaptation of the original book is very bad.

The final ticket seller of the original version is more than 600 million, and in the end it is still profitable, and if Gu Wei joins, the box office will definitely be higher, but it may have an impact on his reputation.

It's a chicken rib, let's put it aside.

Gu Wei read it for a long time, read all the scripts, and finally picked out 4 alternatives.

In addition to [The Legend of Wukong], there are also [The Dedication of Suspect X] directed by Su Youpeng, [Fanghua] directed by Feng Xiaogang and [Predecessor Strategy 3] directed by Tian Yusheng.

Pick up the last two scripts.

"What's wrong with Huayi Brothers, I remember that my relationship with them has always been very ordinary, these two movies should be their key projects this year, are they looking for me?

[Ex] is okay, Director Feng is more or less a bit of a holiday with me, and his movies also ask me to play the male lead? ”

Yang Liwen smiled.

"Boss, you still underestimate your place in the minds of these studios.

As of the release of [Embroidered Spring Knife 2], the total box office of the movie you starred in has reached 5.7 billion.

What's more, all of these movies were box office hits, and none of them were loss-making.

Especially last year's three movies [Left Ear], [Monster Hunt], and [Embroidered Spring Knife 2] completely proved your super high box office appeal.

Now you are recognized as one of the most box office appealing actors in domestic entertainment.

The ultimate purpose of Huayi's movies is also to make money, and of course they hope to cooperate with you to get a higher box office. ”

Gu Wei nodded.

These four movies will all be launched in the second half of this year, and Gu Wei can only choose one on his schedule.

First of all, excluding [The Legend of Wukong], compared with other movies, it is insufficient in both box office and word-of-mouth.

Then there is [The Devotion of Suspect X], which is an adaptation of Keigo Higashino's name, a mystery suspense film.

The producer is [Light Media], which has been cooperating with him, and the director is Su Youpeng, who has a good relationship, but the box office ceiling of the movie as a suspense film in China is too low.

Even if Gu Wei joins him, he will definitely make money in the end, but in the end, the box office is probably not as good as [The Legend of Wukong].

And I'm afraid that fans of the original book will be very harsh on the movie, no matter how Director Su changes, there will be such and such problems, which is also a chicken rib.

"Can these two films of Huayi give up their investment shares?"

Gu Wei asked again.

"[Predecessor 3] Yes, the specific share will be discussed later.

[Fanghua] may not work, this movie is wholly owned by Feng Xiaogang's [Dongyang Meila], and it involves the gambling agreement between Director Feng and Huayi, and even Huayi itself has no investment share"

Yang Liwen explained.

The gambling agreement between Huayi and Feng Xiaogang is not a secret in the circle, and Gu Wei is also very clear.

Specifically, Director Feng set up a leather bag company called [Dongyang Meila].

In order to tie up the big director, Huayi spent 1.05 billion yuan to buy 70% of the shares of [Dongyang Meila] from Director Feng, but Director Feng also had to ensure that the annual net profit of [Dongyang Meila] must be above the specified amount, and if it is not reached, Huayi will be compensated with the corresponding cash.

After the VAM agreement was signed in September 2015, Director Feng got 1.05 billion in cash, but he was also tied up, and he had to work hard to make movies every year for the benefit of [Dongyang Meila], otherwise the money in his pocket would have to be returned.

Gu Wei thought about it and threw [Fanghua] aside.

Although this movie is a double harvest at the word-of-mouth box office, Gu Wei is not short of a blockbuster movie, and there is no need for him to work for Feng Xiaogang.

[Predecessor 3] Although the score is average, it has a high box office, Gu Wei can take the opportunity to make a lot of money, and he can also maintain his undefeated "golden body" at the box office.

"Refuse the others politely, communicate with Huayi, and strive for the investment amount of [Predecessor 3] to the greatest extent!"

Seeing that Gu Wei had already settled, Yang Liwen put down the coffee cup in her hand with a serious face.

"Understood, I'll do it now!"

After finishing speaking, he cleaned up the script on the table and turned around and left Gu Wei's office.

It may be that Huayi's side has a plan for cooperation with Gu Wei, and Yang Liwen communicated very smoothly with that side, and she had already set a general intention to cooperate with the other party in the afternoon.

According to Gu Wei's requirements, as much as possible to get the investment share, and finally the two parties reached an agreement, [Predecessor 3] has a total investment of 100 million, Gu Wei's salary of 40 million is converted into 40% of the investment amount, and Huayi Brothers only needs to take out 60 million as the salary and shooting funds of other actors.

At the same time, Gu Wei also received a call from Wang Zhongjun.

"Mr. Wang is too polite, this is our first time cooperating, I believe that as long as we work together, the box office will definitely not be a problem, and I have always believed in the strength of Huayi"

After being polite to Wang Zhongjun for a long time, Gu Wei suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Mr. Wang, I have read the script of [Predecessor 3], who are you going to find to play the role of the heroine "Lin Jia"? ”

Wang Zhongjun's voice paused, and he didn't seem to expect Gu Wei to ask this question, so he said tentatively:

"Huayi has a rookie actress named Yu Wenwen, the conditions are good in all aspects, and Director Tian Yusheng and I like her to play the heroine.

Mr. Gu, do you have any opinions? ”

Gao Jian didn't dare to say, Mr. Wang and Director Tian's vision must be fine.

But since I joined the movie, I have to think about the box office in the later stage, in my heart, the box office of [Predecessor 3] is going to hit more than 1 billion, is a rookie actress a little unable to support such a high box office? ”

After Gu Wei finished speaking, he obviously heard Wang Zhongjun on the other side take a hard breath.

"Then Mr. Gu, do you have any favorite actresses?"

Gu Wei thought about it with a pretentious gesture.

"Uh

I think Ni Ni is good, his popularity and acting skills are okay, Mr. Wang might as well consider it? ”

"No problem, I'll just bump into Director Tian, and then send an invitation to Ni Ni!"

Wang Zhongjun agreed without hesitation.

"Hahaha, Mr. Wang, I wish us a happy cooperation, I believe that this movie will definitely get a result that will satisfy both of us"

【Huayi Brothers】President's Office.

Wang Zhongjun hung up the phone.

"Brother, this Gu Wei is too greedy, he asked for 40% of the investment share at once, obviously our movie is about to work for him!

And his salary is too high, and in order to reduce his share of investment, our cost has doubled. ”

Wang Zhonglei, the younger brother next to him, saw him hang up the phone and complained.

[Predecessor 3] Originally, in Huayi's filming plan, the investment was only 30 million, of which the actor's salary was 20 million and the shooting fund was 10 million.

After all, it's just an urban romance film, without any big scenes, and the money is enough.

But after Gu Wei joined, his own salary was 40 million, and the original investment of 30 million was not enough.

And in order not to let him occupy too much of the investment share, Huayi can only increase the investment cost of the film, and take out 60 million shooting funds with real money, so as to reduce Gu Wei's share of remuneration to 40%.

If you still take 30 million, Gu Wei accounts for 57% of the shares, then this movie will really be made for him.

Of course, even if the investment amount is doubled, I am not afraid that I will not be able to spend it, whether it is a movie, there is less money, there is less money, there is more money, and there is more money, and how much money can be spent.

"Haha, Gu Wei not only wants a high share, but just now suggested that I change to his favorite heroine."

Wang Zhongjun laughed and said to his younger brother.

"What?

He's a bit too much, no matter how he says it, he's just an actor, and no one cares about his own company's movies.

This is our Huayi film, he has a bit of an inch! ”

Wang Zhonglei said with some anger.

"I don't think so, it seems to me that he has a point."

Wang Zhongjun said with a smile.

"Big brother, how do you talk to him, we all promised Wenwen this role before."

Wang Zhonglei was a little anxious.

"Don't be impatient~"

Wang Zhongjun patted his younger brother on the shoulder.

"Gu Wei told me that he is confident that he will bring the box office of the movie to more than 1 billion, and since he is sure of this, I will satisfy him with whatever he says!"

"1 billion?

Gu Wei really has this certainty, although we have discussed it before, but according to the box office of 129 million and 251 million in the first two parts, even if Gu Wei joins, there should be no problem with the third part getting more than 500 million.

More than 1 billion is too exaggerated.

Now there are only more than 10 movies with a domestic box office of more than 1 billion, let's just a romance movie, can it have such a high box office? ”

As before, although Wang Zhonglei also agrees with Gu Wei's box office appeal, thinking that it is no problem to find him to star in a movie that is a big hit, but it is a bit ridiculous to break 1 billion.

"Hahaha!

Since he Gu Wei has this confidence, why not let me gamble with him~

There is nothing to lose if we lose, if we win, we will make a lot of money! ”

After all, Wang Zhongjun is the president, and he is much more ambitious and courageous than his younger brother.

"I'll contact Director Tian for a while, and then send an invitation to Ni Ni.

Tell Yu Wenwen that she didn't act as the heroine this time, and there will be a chance in the future.

After all, it's our own people, don't chill. ”

Wang Zhongjun followed a series of arrangements.

"I'll do it"
