Chapter 382: There is also a windfall

Office.

A fair-skinned, short-haired lady with a good face sits on a sofa with a steaming cup of coffee in front of her.

She crossed Erlang's legs and looked at Gu Wei opposite with an expectant expression.

"Calling me here is [I'm not the god of medicine] to start preparing?

I heard that Xiaowen's movie was filmed some time ago, and it's still in the final production, can he have time? ”

It was Han Jianu, the daughter of Han Dong of China Film, who spoke and the screenwriter of the movie "I Am Not the God of Medicine".

"Senior sister, don't worry, a good meal is not afraid of being late, I attach great importance to the movie [God of Medicine], and I must be fully prepared in all aspects before I can start shooting.

I have great expectations for this film! ”

Gu Wei said with a smile on his face.

He is not in a hurry to shoot [I am not the God of Medicine], although this film is good, it is essentially a drama with a realistic theme.

Although the domestic film market is becoming more and more mature and huge, and the highest box office record has been pushed to 3.3 billion by [Mermaid], a careful observation will find that the really best-selling movies are either comedies or action movies.

Realistic feature films will be classified as literary films, and no matter how good the word-of-mouth is, they will not get a high box office.

Just like when Gu Wei first entered the circle 4 years ago, Li County starred in the first movie in his life [Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart], and Gu Wei also went to the premiere.

Can you say that the film is not good, Douban score 8.9, the heroine Yan Bingyan won the [Beijing International Film Festival], [Huabiao Award], [Chinese Film Media Award], and [Beijing University Student Film Festival] 4 actress trophies one after another with her excellent performance in the movie.

However, the final box office of "Ten Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" was only 2.491 million.

What if the shooting is good and the acting is good, the audience doesn't like to watch it.

Of course, the reason for the box office fiasco of this film is also the unpleasant subject matter, the absence of big-name stars, and the strong publicity in the later stage.

But the general situation in the domestic film market at that time was that the audience didn't like to go to movies to watch feature films, which was the most essential reason.

As for whether this feature film is a good movie or not, everyone doesn't care.

At that time, when everyone went to the cinema, they either wanted to watch some funny comedies and have fun; Either watch a blockbuster with good visual effects and experience the stimulation of the senses, and there are very few audiences who really pay attention to the plot of the movie.

However, this situation has gradually changed as the domestic film market has become more and more huge, and the audience watching movies has become more mature.

Everyone's movie-watching habits are slowly returning to their true nature.

After the domestic film market was brought to more than 5 billion by [Wolf Warrior 2] in 17 years, movies that really tell a good story are more and more accepted by the audience.

Later, many movies with no special effects and not pure comedy were also able to achieve very good results in the market if they could tell a touching story or shoot the joys and sorrows of small people.

"I am not the god of medicine" is the best example.

The original version of [God of Medicine] was promoted by Xu Zheng in the early stage, but after it was actually released, it was completely relied on word-of-mouth and quality to break the circle, and netizens spread the word of mouth to bring up the box office.

So even if it is filming, Gu Wei plans to wait until 17 years to shoot, anyway, the copyright of the script is in his own hands, and he is not in a hurry.

If the [God of Medicine] failed to achieve the same good results as the original time and space because of time, Gu Wei would not forgive himself.

He really thinks that [I Am Not the God of Medicine] is a good movie, making money or secondly, if there is a better box office, more people will see it, which is the best reward for excellent movies.

"Then what are you looking for me to do today?"

Hearing that it had nothing to do with her own movie, Han Jianu was a little interested.

Gu Wei smiled and didn't care.

"Senior sister, you are classmates with the director, and you are also a top student who graduated from the director department of Beijing Film Film.

Now that your classmates can direct movies independently, don't you have itchy hands yourself? ”

Han Jianu looked at Gu Wei suspiciously.

"You don't mean you want me to be the director to make a movie for you, do you?"

Gu Wei smiled and nodded.

"No, no.

I haven't made a movie since I graduated, isn't it a joke to ask me to be a director? ”

Han Jianu waved her hand again and again.

"They are all graduate students of the directing department of Beijing Film Co., Ltd., and the literary director started making movies after graduation, what are you missing, senior sister?"

Gu Wei began to use the radical method.

"I can't, Xiaowen was a top student when he was in school, and he won awards for all the short films he made when he was in graduate school, he is talented.

I still have some ability in writing screenwriting, and I really don't have confidence in directing. ”

Han Jianu smiled bitterly.

Gu Wei didn't care about her shirk, and took a white-covered script from the desk on the side and handed it to Han Jianu.

"This is the movie I want you to make, it's called "Take My Brother Away", it's a light-hearted campus fantasy comedy that tells the story of a brother and sister.

The story is very simple, and I think the unique perspective and emotional delicacy of female directors are more suitable for this film, so I thought of you, senior sister.

The investment in the movie is not large, and even if the box office is not satisfactory in the end, you will not lose a few dollars, so you don't have to have a psychological burden at all."

Gu Wei has seen this film, but he really can't remember who the director of the original film is, and he seems to be a female director in his impression.

The plot of the movie is very simple, and it is adapted from a comic, and the story is clearly laid out there, and it will be easy to shoot.

So he simply found Han Jianu and asked her to try it, she is a top student in the directing department of Beiying, and she is also a classmate of Wen Muye, who can write the script of "I am not the God of Medicine", why don't you have two brushes.

And as Gu Wei said, this movie really doesn't cost a lot of money, the main actors are some teenagers and twenties-year-old children, the scene is either at home or school, and the estimated shooting cost given by Gu Wei's company professionals is 15 million ~ 20 million.

This money is not even half of Gu Wei's personal salary, which is a real low-cost small investment in the film industry at this time period.

said no, Han Jianu still took the script and looked at it seriously.

Gu Wei sat opposite, didn't make a sound, and drank coffee slowly.

After a while, Han Jianu seemed to be attracted by the story of the script, and Gu Wei simply took out her mobile phone to swipe the news.

Recently, there is really something hot on the Internet.

Recently, when Dong Jie and his son Dingding participated in the recording of the reality show [Mom is Superman], he faced the question "Will Dingding ask questions about his father in front of you?" Dong Jie responded indifferently: "There is no way, we all have to accept reality, I have to accept reality, and Dingding must also accept reality, and no one can change their fate." ”

Late at night on April 25, Pan Yueming posted on Weibo: "I really have to face the reality, dare I tell the truth......

Since the reality show was broadcast on the Internet, Dong Jie's loving interaction between his single mother and son has touched many people, and Dong Jie's Weibo message is full of such remarks: "Let's get back together for the child and the child's father."

But the beautiful fantasies of netizens have not yet passed the night, and the former couple, who once loved and hurt each other, once again teared apart with suspicion, forcing netizens to "accept reality".

Gu Wei silently liked Pan Yueming's Weibo.

"This story is really good, full of the strong warmth between brother and sister, and conveys feelings in a fantasy comedy way, tsk, the story design is really good."

From the screenwriter's point of view, the Han family girl praised the script.

"Since Senior Sister likes it so much, then what's the hesitation?

You have also read the script, the context of the story is clear and clear, and there is nothing difficult to shoot"

Gu Wei put down his phone and persuaded him a few more words.

Han Jianu put down the script, took a sip of the coffee in front of her, frowned slightly and thought about it.

Gu Wei didn't say anything more, waiting for her final reply.

Looking for Han Jia's female director was his whim, even if the other party didn't agree, it didn't matter much, the script is here, just find someone else.

Eventually, she seemed to think of something, her brow furrowed, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Okay, since you trust me so much, I'll take this movie!"

"Then congratulations to Senior Sister, the crew can start preparing immediately, I don't lack personnel, and the actor has been selected for you."

Gu Wei said with a smile on his face.

"Don't be busy yet"

Han Jianu stretched out her hand to interrupt Gu Wei's speech.

"I can take the movie, but in order to be responsible for you, the investor and our film, I have to find another person to co-direct with me, after all, this is my first time, and I have little confidence in myself."

"No problem, senior sister, which director of China Film are you looking for?"

Gu Wei thought that the other party wanted to find an experienced old director in China Film to help her, after all, with her father's status, it was easiest to find such a person.

"It's not from China Film, it's a friend of mine, a young stage director.

At the beginning of this year, he wrote and directed his first movie [Hello, Maniac! I think he, like Xiaowen, belongs to that kind of genius director! ”

Han Jianu said to herself.

Gu Wei was a little familiar with the name of the movie, and asked suspiciously.

"What's that friend's name?"

"His surname is very special, his surname is Rao, the forgiving Rao, his name is Rao Xiaozhi!"

Gu Wei listened to Han Jianu's narration, there was no reaction on the surface, but he was ecstatic in his heart, which was completely an unexpected gain.

Director Rao Xiaozhi's "Nobody" filmed in the later stage is still very famous.

Like Lu Yang and Wen Mu, they are all excellent directors of the new generation, and if they can receive the company, there will be no shortage of directors who will shoot movies in the future.

A Wen Mu and a Rao Xiaozhi can completely act as his right-hand man, and if there are any good themes and ideas for them to shoot.

He also thinks about it now, it seems that the producer of the "Nobody" that Director Rao will become famous in the future is Han Jianu in front of him, so it is not surprising that they have known each other for a long time.

"I can get the respect of my senior sister, I believe that this Director Rao is by no means an idle person, and he will definitely bring it over to me when he has time."

"Don't worry, since I plan to pull him together to co-direct, there will be opportunities in the future."

With the script she took from Gu Wei in her bag, Han Jianu, who was full of concerns, walked out of the [Wei Mingxia] building.

Since Gu Wei bought the office building where the company is located, he has renamed it after his company.

It was not yet noon, and Gu Wei originally invited her to have lunch together, but she refused because of something.

Although she has already taken over the movie, after all, it is the first time, and she is not in the mood to eat anything now, she just wants to get the most important things done first.

Walking to the parking lot under the office building in three steps and entering her car, Han Jianu did not light the fire, but took out her mobile phone first.

"Hello?"

"What's the matter, Miss Han?"

A slightly tired male voice came from across the phone.

Han Jianu frowned.

"What's wrong with you, sick?"

"No, I stayed up late last night to cut the film, and the rest of the later stage was finally finished.

Fuck Lao Guo, he said that he would be the producer for me, but he didn't help at all when he was named, and he was busy with his own work.

I'm busy inside and outside the movie."

Han Jianu always knew what was going on when she turned her head.

"Don't complain, Guo Fan took on such a big project as China Film, and it is already very hard for people to prepare their own movies, and it is normal that they can't help you."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone.

"I also know that the key is that he hasn't scraped together enough money for that project, and no matter how many sketches you make, what's the use of making them if you don't have the money.

This is a small project of mine, it is easy to shoot, and the last time I drank, he clearly said that it was good, but he disappeared after two days on the set.

Listening to Rao Xiaozhi's non-stop complaining on the phone, Han Jianu hurriedly interrupted him.

"How long will it take you to get this film done now?"

"Eh~ It's almost done in the later stage, and it will be over in ten days and half a month.

The producer plans to let my movie be released in this year's Chinese New Year.

Hehe~ This is my first movie, and I really look up to me."

Rao Xiaozhi was a little talkative, and asked ten sentences back, obviously Han Jianu also knew his character, so she would interrupt him before talking to him.

"Okay, hurry up and get it, I've got you another job here!"

"What live?

Miss Han looking for me to make a movie?

What are the new projects of China Film? ”

"It's not Zhongying, have you heard of [Wei Mingxia]?"

"[Wei Tomorrow]?

Big star Gu Wei's company, the producer of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" and "Detective Chinatown"? ”

At this time, [Wei Mingxia] is no longer an unknown small company, in addition to the boss Gu Wei, who is famous, the company has led the production of several well-made film and television dramas, and the achievements have made many people in the circle look sideways.

"Yes, Gu Wei is my junior brother, and we have a good relationship."

Speaking of Gu Wei, Han Jianu is also very proud.

"He asked me to direct a new movie, I really don't have enough confidence, don't you have nothing to do with the end of this movie, let's co-direct?"

The relationship between Han Jianu and Rao Xiaozhi has always been good, and she has helped each other a lot before, so she doesn't beat around the bush when she talks.

"Eh~ I definitely can't shirk your request, I don't need any co-director, I'll just be the executive director for you, and I will definitely make the movie clear for you when the time comes!"

Rao Xiaozhi not only agreed directly, but also took the initiative to lower himself by one gear.

The co-director can also be said to be the work of two people, and being the executive director is completely working for Han Jianu, what he means is that he will do the work, and the fame will be taken by Miss Han.

But he is also willing to do this, Rao Xiaozhi himself is now just a small director who is not famous, although he and Han Jianu are friends, they owe each other a lot of people before.

And he knows that it is too easy to find a mature director who helps make a movie as the other party, and finding himself is completely to give himself a chance.

"No need, don't fix those useless things, I told Gu Wei to find you to co-direct, if you become an executive director, then what will I become."

Okay, stop talking nonsense, since you're okay, then come out for dinner in a while, and I'll show you the script."

Rao Xiaozhi on the other end of the phone also looked helpless.

"Okay! Then Miss Han, listen to you"
