Chapter 398: Do You Call This a Village Woman? (2-in-1)
In the morning, he was busy in the company, and he had a simple bite of food at noon, and in the afternoon, Gu Wei came to [Light Media].
The publicity before and after the release of [Detective Chinatown 2], including the holding of the premiere, he still has to touch Wang Changtian with many things inside and out.
The cost of publicity and distribution of this movie alone is 100 million.
And China Film, Guangguang, and Wanda's expected box office for [Tang Detective 2] are all above 1.8 billion.
With such a large investment and high expectations, the promotion and distribution of the film cannot be overstated.
The old king of light once talked to Gu Wei and wanted to issue [Tang Detective 2] with a guarantee of 1.6 billion, but Gu Wei refused, and later Wang Changtian raised the price all the way to 2 billion, but Gu Wei didn't do it.
In the afternoon, Gu Wei took his entourage all the way to the light and entered the president's office under the leadership of the staff.
His arrival was naturally seen by the employees of the light.
Liu Yan's agent also got the news and called Liu Yan as soon as possible.
"Where are you?"
"Just finished a commercial show, in the car."
Liu Yan's somewhat tired voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Hurry up, Mr. Gu will come to our company~"
"Mr. Gu?"
"Your gold lord Gu Wei!"
In his own office, there is no one around, and the agent is more direct.
"Why is he here?"
"How do I know, it seems that I am looking for Mr. Wang to talk about things, and our company's main work in the recent period is to release Gu Wei's movie [Tang Detective 2].
It's not surprising that Mr. Gu came over.
Won't you come back to see him? β
The agent probably knew that Liu Yan and Gu Wei had a lot of relationship, but Liu Yan had never said it positively, and she didn't know what the state of the two of them was, but it always didn't hurt to see each other more.
Liu Yan hesitated on the other side of the phone.
"I'll hurry back."
In the president's office, Gu Wei chatted with Wang Changtian while drinking tea.
In fact, the detailed publicity process, there have already been written documents passed to [Wei Mingxia] on the light side, such as the use of publicity funds, what projects are online and offline, how much cost, what kind of effect is expected to be achieved, and the classification is reflected in writing.
It's just that Gu Wei himself knows that the scale of the publicity before the release of a movie is one thing, and the most important thing is to see if the publicity party can find the right "point".
For example, when [Mermaid] was announced, "I owe Xing Ye a movie ticket"
Before the release of "Pancake Man", Dapeng [Pancake Man] accurately located the audience who had watched [Dick Silk Man] and promoted "the counterattack of the little people." β
There is also the movie [Predecessor 3] that Gu Wei has already taken, in the future, seize the point of "regret", everyone has an ex, and the predecessor is beautiful and regretful, so as to resonate with young audiences.
Of course, [Tang Detective 2] also has its promotional points, or from the first part, the movies in this series have set the tone.
First of all, the root of the [Tang Detective] series is a logical detective movie, the two protagonists run around the world and solve all kinds of strange murder cases, which is the main line of the movie.
The story doesn't need to be more brain-burning and advanced, but the audience must not be treated as fools, and the logic must be self-consistent.
This was done very well in the first part.
Secondly, the [Tang Detective] series is a comedy movie.
If the movie is a dish, and the main story of the detective is the deliciousness of the dish, then the comedy element is the aroma and appearance of the dish.
It is the most important thing to attract audiences to the cinema and enhance the audience's viewing experience.
No matter how delicious a dish is, if it stinks and looks like a piece of stool, no one will be able to swallow it.
Similarly, no matter how beautiful and fragrant the appearance is, it will make people have an appetite when they see it, and the taste is the same as chewing wax after eating, and it will also discourage customers behind because of word of mouth.
Therefore, the perfect combination of detective + comedy is the magic weapon for the success of the [Tang Detective] series of movies.
Because of the good impression left by the first movie on the audience, and now that the second movie is released, the publicity and distribution will also grasp these two points to strengthen publicity, which can naturally achieve the best effect.
Gu Wei came to see Wang Changtian, and he would definitely not deduct the number and time to participate in any publicity activities with him, those are the things that the staff below should take care of.
The two had an exchange on the main publicity channels of the film, the intensity and scale of publicity, the expected audience, and the concepts to be instilled in everyone.
Mr. Wang also told Gu Wei that after the movie was released, if there were some countermeasures for negative news, Gu Wei nodded frequently after listening, Guangguang deserves to be the top publicity and distribution company in China, whether it is a channel or a plan, it is not comparable to a small company.
"Okay, Mr. Wang, it's not too early, then I'll leave first.
In the follow-up, the actions of our main creators will obey the publicity team, and I hope that our film will have a satisfactory result for everyone. β
The two chatted about the same, Gu Wei put down the teacup and said with a smile.
"Mr. Gu, stay and have dinner together, I have already asked the people in the company to book a restaurant."
Wang Changtian warmly invited.
"No, I have a date here for the evening.
I'm looking forward to the celebration banquet after the movie is released, and I will definitely not get drunk with Mr. Wang when the time comes."
"Haha~ Okay, since Mr. Gu has something to do, I won't keep you.
The celebration is for sure, and I have full confidence in our film."
Seeing that Gu Wei was not polite, Wang Changtian did not force the guests, and got up to see Gu Wei away.
The two of them walked out of the office and walked out of the company, just in time for Liu Yan to come in from outside.
She wore a light blue women's suit, a pair of black high heels, a large V-neck at the front of the top, and a bulging white undershirt underneath.
With her black and bright hair spread out, her skin was white and her lips were red, and she always had a sense of temptation when she wore what should have been a smart professional attire.
Wang Changtian saw it and hurriedly greeted him.
"Xiaoliu~ It just so happens that you are back, send it to Mr. Gu."
As he spoke, he turned his head and said to Gu Wei: "Mr. Gu, then I won't be far away, let's call if there is any problem!" β
"Okay, Mr. Wang, you're busy"
After Wang Changtian finished speaking, he smiled and waved his hand to Gu Wei, turned his head and walked back.
Liu Yan, who was standing on the side, showed a smiling face and looked at Gu Wei cautiously.
"Mr. Gu, please come here."
Gu Wei also smiled and nodded with her, and the two walked out of the company together.
"How was this time, and are there any difficulties at work?"
Gu Wei asked casually.
"No, thanks to your help, Mr. Gu, my situation in the company is much better now"
Liu Yan said gratefully.
"I just called Mr. Wang, and you don't have to be too polite."
The two walked out while chatting, Liu Yan kept emphasizing her gratitude to Gu Wei, and said that if she needed her in the future, she would definitely be there immediately after a phone call from Mr. Gu.
Gu Wei just smiled when he heard this, and didn't pay much attention to it, and in a few steps, they walked out of the office building of the light, and the nanny car was parked at the door.
Liu Yan looked at Gu Wei, who was about to get into the car, and stopped talking.
She not only wanted to send an invitation to Gu Wei, but also remembered what Gu Wei had told her before, afraid of being rejected again.
"Oh~ That's right."
Gu Wei opened the car door and was about to go up, when he suddenly remembered something, turned his head to Liu Yan and said:
"In a few days, my new movie will be released, you will host the premiere, and I will tell Mr. Wang about it later"
"No problem, I won't let you down"
Liu Yan was very pleasantly surprised when he heard Gu Wei's words.
Hosting the premiere is just a trivial matter, but this represents Gu Wei's support for him on the side of Mr. Wang and Guangguang, and everyone will be more sure that their backstage is Gu Wei.
She can continue to do things that are fake and powerful.
Coming out of the light, Gu Wei did not return to the company.
He glanced at his watch, it was almost the appointed time, and he took the car directly to the private restaurant he had booked before.
This is an old restaurant located on West Street, called Runze Garden.
It is said that it was one of the "eight buildings" in the capital at the earliest, and it has been inherited since the founding of New China.
The current chef is Wang Yijun, one of the top ten famous chefs in China.
The hotel is mainly engaged in Shandong cuisine, and also concurrently operates Beijing roast duck, which is good at cooking a variety of delicacies and seafood, known for its light and strong taste, mellow and not greasy, focusing on clear, fragrant, fresh, tender and crispy.
The nanny car drove to the parking lot outside the hotel, and Gu Wei put on a cap and mask and walked down.
Runzeyuan Restaurant is a four-entry compound, and as soon as he enters the door, a special staff member will come forward to lead the way.
Along the way, the Qingtang tile house and the faΓ§ade are finely decorated, which can be described as an elegant environment and a unique decoration style.
Gu Wei walked to a small box inside.
Pushing open the door, Liu Yifei was sitting directly opposite the door, drinking tea with a water cup, and when she saw Gu Wei coming in, she put down the cup and showed a sweet smile.
"You're here"
The decoration in the private room is quite antique, and there is a wooden round table in the middle, which is dark in color and heavy in texture.
There are a few rattan chairs around, the tableware on the table is silverware, and the teapots and cups for drinking water are azure porcelain, which looks expensive.
"I'm sorry, Sister Yifei, I actually asked you to wait for me."
Gu Wei took two steps forward and sat diagonally opposite Liu Yifei, and said apologetically.
"It's okay~ You're not late, it's me who came early.
It's not far from my house, and it's not interesting to stay at home, so I just came a little early. β
Liu Yifei is dressed very simply today, wearing a light blue long skirt with no other decorations, her white and tender arms are exposed, and she is wearing a watch with a red belt on her wrist, which is the finishing touch.
The makeup on the face is very light, the facial features are delicate and picturesque, the eyes are bright and bright, the long hair is flowing and light, the skin is fair and delicate, and there is a light but elegant temperament.
"I just went to Guangguang Media and chatted with Mr. Wang for a while about the promotion of our movie, which delayed a little time."
Gu Wei explained.
"By the way, Sister Yifei, have you ordered?"
"Not yet, I'm waiting for you to come over and order it together."
Gu Wei called the waiter, asked Liu Yifei's opinion, and ordered a few of his specialties such as Guanyan, Tongtian shark fin, braised sea cucumber with green onion, fish maw with chicken sauce, braised mullet eggs, and fragrant osmanthus fish.
"It's too much, we can't eat it."
"It's okay, you can pack it if you can't eat it"
The waiter went out with the menu, and it didn't take long for Gu Wei to order a few dishes to be served one after another.
Both of them were not polite, picked up chopsticks and began to eat.
Gu Wei was also a little hungry, so he put a sea cucumber into his bowl.
"Sister Yifei, since the last time you told me to return to the capital after filming, haven't you joined the group again until now?"
Compared with Gu Wei's gobbling, Liu Yifei ate more elegantly.
"No, the movie was very hard to shoot before, and this month's [Tang Detective 2] will be released to run publicity.
I've been resting at home all this time.
Occasionally go out to some business activities, take magazine photos or something. β
"What kind of movie was made?"
Gu Wei asked curiously.
To be honest, he is not very impressed by the movies made by Liu Yifei in recent years.
The only ones that remember more clearly are [Third Love] and [Mulan].
[The third kind of love] is because when the movie was released, Liu Yifei and Bangzi officially announced their relationship, although they broke up after a short time, but this move also made her lose countless fans.
In fact, when the two were together, there was almost no interaction, and they were never photographed by any paparazzi with intimacy, so I felt that the chance of falling in love in order to promote the movie agreement was relatively high.
At this time period, Liu Yifei accepted Gu Wei's invitation to star in [Tang Detective 2], and there was no schedule, so [The Third Love] was not accepted, and it was impossible to talk about the love with the stick.
Gu Wei felt that he had also done a good thing, at least he had lost a lot of fans to his good friend Sister Yifei.
[Mulan] is a super production of Disney, although the box office was not satisfactory after its release, especially in China, but this movie made Liu Yifei really go international.
After the movie was broadcast, her fashion endorsement resources were so good that they exploded!
As for the other movies she has made over the years, it can only be said that she has pounced again and again, and there are no memory points.
On the contrary, after she re-filmed the TV series a few years later, [Menghualu] and [Go to a Windy Place] were all on fire, which was impressive.
"It's called [Beacon Fangfei], which tells the story of an American pilot who ran out of fuel and landed on the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang during World War II and was rescued by a Chinese woman.
It is based on real events in history. β
Gu Wei thought about it, the name seemed to be heard, but he definitely hadn't seen the movie.
He finished eating the sea cucumber in his bowl and put a chopstick of fish meat in his mouth.
"Then what is the identity of the heroine you play, a progressive young woman, a female student, and a female nurse?"
"No, the heroine is a rural woman, called "Yingzi".
Her husband died, and she had to take care of her parents-in-law by raising her daughter alone. β
Liu Yifei's voice was a little low when he spoke, and it seemed to be brought into the role he played.
Gu Wei looked her up and down while eating.
"Why do you think so about me?"
Liu Yifei was looked at by him, and asked a little strangely.
"Let me guess, did the American pilot who was saved finally like "Yingzi"? β
"That's right, because of the long-term care, the hero and heroine finally fell in love with each other."
Gu Wei nodded.
"Not at all.
If I were a pilot, I would love to see the widow who saved me so good-looking, and I wouldn't have to wait for you to take care of me, and I would fall in love at first sight! β
Gu Wei shrugged and said.
"I hate it, I'll discuss the plot with you, you're joking with me here, right?"
Liu Yifei gently patted Gu Wei's shoulder, a little angry.
"No kidding, that's what I thought.
You, who look like a village woman, which village in China can have such a good-looking widow as you? β
Although Gu Wei has been praising herself for being beautiful on the side, Liu Yifei is still a little discouraged, she really wants to be a good actor and play some good roles.
She pulled her phone out of her bag next to her, opened the gallery, and placed it on the table.
"You see, this is a still from the movie, which was taken during the shooting."
Gu Wei moved the stool, leaned against Liu Yifei, and leaned towards her.
looked at Liu Yifei, who was wearing a blue coarse cloth shirt in his mobile phone, combing his hair into a bun and wearing a bun at the back of his head.
He looked up again at the real person who was close at hand.
Liu Yifei looked at Gu Wei with a frown.
"How's it going, are you talking?"
"Eh~ Sister Yifei's shape, I would like to call it the most fairy village woman!"
Gu Wei said with a smile.
"Hmph~ ignore you!"
Saying that, Liu Yifei took away the mobile phone on the table, twisted his head to the side, and looked angry.
"Don't, Sister Yifei, I haven't finished reading it yet."
Gu Wei reached out and grabbed the mobile phone, just grabbing it on Liu Yifei's tender white little hand.
He didn't care, the two have known each other for so many years, and the relationship has always been very good, and there is greater physical contact during filming, but Liu Yifei is a little embarrassed.
"Don't make a fuss, can't I show you?"
After speaking, she put her phone on the table between the two of them, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Gu Wei, stretching out her slender fingers to slide the photos in the gallery.
"Tsk, Sister Yifei's village women are very beautiful."
"I don't want to see it, and besides, I took it!"
Liu Yifei threatened.
"Okay, don't say anything, I'll appreciate it quietly."
Gu Wei made a gesture of covering his mouth.
When he saw the next few photos, Gu Wei asked suspiciously.
"You still have Yan Yi's hip in this movie, what is he playing?"
"Play the head of my village."
"This is Yu Shaoqun, right, what about him?"
"He's the teacher in the village."
The corners of Gu Wei's mouth rose, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious.
"The people in your village are a bit good-looking!"
Liu Yifei rolled her eyes.
"You can't say I'm good~"
"Eh~ It's all given by God how it looks, and what effect it presents in the end depends on the acting skills.
Anyway, I think Sister Yifei will definitely be able to give the audience a perfect answer. β
Gu Wei hurriedly added a sycophant.
"That's pretty much it"
Liu Yifei nodded with satisfaction.
"When filming this scene, because many scenes were in a village deep in the mountains, the environment was relatively harsh, so it was difficult to shoot.
I remember that there was a rainy scene, and the director insisted on shooting under the condition of natural rain in order to ensure the authenticity of the scene.
When the rain started, the land was muddy, wet and slippery, and I once fell down.
Later, the film crew suggested that I use a double double, but I didn't agree."
"Do you see the costume I am wearing, the crew originally prepared several sets of different styles and colors, but the director said that the heroine should be simple and simple, and only let me wear this set to shoot from beginning to end"
Liu Yifei seriously told Gu Wei the story that happened when she was filming, and Gu Wei also listened patiently and nodded from time to time.
In his opinion, Liu Yifei's acting skills can't be said to be very good, but she is definitely willing to work hard for filming.
Let's just say that her earliest famous work [The Condor Heroes], in which Hang Weiya and all kinds of martial arts scenes are all done by herself.
Including her post-filming [Mulan], all kinds of difficult martial arts scenes, horseback riding, fighting, it can't be said that there is no stand-in, but most of them are done by themselves.
If nothing else, let's talk about horse riding, Liu Yifei can ride a horse and gallop normally during filming, and do some actions on the horse according to the director's requirements.
Back then, there was a panoramic shot of her riding a horse and stopping suddenly, and the horse's front hooves were raised high.
It is simply impossible for this kind of lens to let other female stars in domestic entertainment do it.
Not to mention female stars, some traffic stars in the future of domestic entertainment, regardless of men and women, basically show their upper body and horse's head when filming horse riding scenes, and their lower bodies may be cars or other means of transportation, all of which are fake.
Some people say that Liu Yifei is the last sword horse in domestic entertainment, although it is exaggerated, but these female stars of the new generation do not mention acting skills, she is really the best just playing.
Gu Wei chatted with Liu Yifei while eating, and after she finished filming [Beacon Fangfei], Gu Wei also told her about the interesting things that happened when she filmed [Wolf Warrior 2] with Wu Jing.
Including Wu Jing was injured, Gu Wei called Xie Nan over.
Teacher Yu Sign, who said cross talk, joined, and he was at the horse farm on the outskirts of the capital and so on.
"Haha~ You can really do it, just call the director's daughter-in-law over and take care of him~"
"Brother Jing is the boss in the crew, no one cares about him, and he listens to me for a while.
But we can't still shake people?"
Gu Wei raised his eyebrows and said.
"Where is the horse farm of Mr. Yu Sign, is it really like you said that there are a lot of small animals?"
"Of course, Brother Qian loved to play when he was young, and raising all kinds of small animals was his hobby, and he heard him say that in addition to ponies, there are peacocks, monkeys, squirrels, wolf dogs, etc., which is a private zoo."
"So good"
Liu Yifei looked yearning.
"If you're interested, I'll show you there when I have time.
I made an agreement with Brother Qian, and I went back and asked him to help me choose two horses and foster them with him. β
"Okay, okay, you must contact me next time you go."
Liu Yifei has a group of cats at home, and her interest in small animals is very high.
It was getting late, and the meal for the two was almost over.
Before leaving, Gu Wei asked again.
"Sister Yifei, you won't leave the capital for the past two days, right?"
"No~"
"That weekend, you can go with Naza, let's take a flight to Changsha, go to record [Happy Camp], and start running the roadshow directly after the end!"
"Okay, you can just call me when you go back!"
Liu Yifei happily agreed.
She thought that Gu Wei wanted to help her book a ticket, thinking that it would be convenient for everyone to have a flight, so she didn't refuse.
The two put on masks and hats, waved goodbye at the door of the hotel, and got into their respective nanny cars.
At night, the streets of the capital are not very blocked, and the nanny car soon arrived at the villa area, Liu Yifei got out of the car and walked home happily with her small bag.
