Chapter 424: Rewarding
In the evening, a well-known seafood restaurant near the crew.
Gu Wei wrapped up the entire hall, a total of more than ten tables, he came to visit, and according to the usual practice, it was indispensable to bring benefits to these people in the crew.
[Take my brother away] is a small crew, there are not many people, about more than 100.
Most of the main creative staff are employees of [Wei Mingxia], and everyone knows the boss's habits, and they are not surprised by this big meal in the evening.
At the main table, Gu Wei chatted with Han Jiannu and Rao Xiaozhi for a while, and then turned his gaze to Peng Yuchang on the other side.
"Peng Peng, how does it feel to play the male lead for the first time?"
"It feels great, Brother Wei~
When I started filming with the county brother, I didn't think that I could still play the male lead, after all, I am not handsome, and I am not from a professional class."
Peng Yuchang looked excited.
As he said, it was a complete accident to enter the entertainment industry for filming at the earliest, after all, what kind of puppet performance did he major in college.
Later, he joined [Wei Mingxia] with Li County, and has always played some marginal roles in various film and television dramas.
He still has a relatively clear understanding of himself, and he knows that he has no advantages in terms of appearance or acting skills, so he is usually very content when he has money to make money while filming.
This time, the company opened a movie for him to play the leading role, and Peng Yuchang was both excited and grateful.
Gu Wei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be presumptuous, you are still young, practice your acting skills well, there is still a lot of room for development in the future."
There is no shortage of good-looking artists in the entertainment industry, but there are a few actors.
Come on, I'm optimistic about you! ”
To be honest, although Peng Yuchang's appearance is not outstanding among male stars of his age, and he is not from a professional background, he is indeed very spiritual in acting.
Actor's bowl of rice, talent is actually very important, just like Wang Baoqiang, who came from a pure grassroots background, and has not received any professional learning and training, but he has taken a lot of various actors, such as "Xu Sanduo", "Mr. Tree", "Feng Yuxiu", classic characters one after another.
If you have watched Wang Baoqiang's movie, you will know that he can not only play "stupid roots", and his acting skills are really awesome.
There are so many actors who graduate from major film and television schools in China every year, and a few dare to say that they can stabilize Wang Baoqiang in acting.
It can only be said that Baoqiang is really talented, plus acquired hard work.
Peng Yuchang doesn't say that he can be compared with Wang Baoqiang, but he is indeed talented, as long as he is willing to work hard in the future, his development will not be too bad.
"Peng Peng is really good, he has been performing very well since the start of filming, and few graduates of our school's acting major can have his acting skills"
Han Jianu, who was sitting on the other side, also smiled and praised Gu Wei when she heard Gu Wei's words.
After listening to Gu Wei's encouragement and the director's praise, Peng Yuchang smiled innocently, a little embarrassed.
"Zhao Yanmai Zhou, right~"
After chatting with Peng Peng for a few words, Gu Wei greeted the other two little girls of the leading trio.
The two of them don't know if they have discussed, they both wore a little white dress today, with the same age as flowers, a face of collagen, and they looked young and beautiful.
However, Zhao Yanmai's little face is a little meaty, more cute, and Zhou Qi's facial features are more delicate, more like the role of a class flower when she was in school.
The two little girls responded to Gu Wei's greetings a little shyly.
"I saw Mai Mai in the casting when I was filming a movie before, I still remember that your mother brought it here, but I didn't expect to grow into a big girl after not seeing it for a few years~"
"Brother Wei~ I still hope to grow up soon, and I will have a good chance to work with you in the future!"
Zhao Yanmai looked at Gu Wei with a pair of big watery eyes.
"Haha~ Shoot well, maybe you will really have this opportunity in the future!"
Gu Wei said with a smile.
"Boss, when can I film with you?"
Zhou, who was sitting on the other side of Zhao Yanmai, asked boldly.
"This movie is the first film you've made, right?"
"That's right~"
Gu Wei nodded.
"I heard Mr. Yang say that you, a freshman in Beiying this year, are still my elementary school sister.
Lay a solid foundation of acting in school, and there will definitely be opportunities in the future."
Gu Wei encouraged.
Zhou Qi listened to Gu Wei's words, his face was happy, and he showed a mouthful of small white teeth, which looked very sweet.
The three of them chatted for a while, and Gu Wei sent out a few signed photos at the request of the two little girls, and added WeChat.
Seeing that Gu Wei, a big star, was so amiable, Zhao Yanmai and Zhou Qi chatted with him more and more casually.
The next day, Gu Wei left the crew satisfied.
He gained a lot from this visit.
During the dinner, Gu Wei proposed to Director Rao Xiaozhi that he hoped to sign him into his company's name, although Rao Xiaozhi did not agree immediately, but said that he would consider it, but in Gu Wei's opinion, he was already tempted.
After all, Rao Xiaozhi has been filming stage plays before, and he has never proven himself in the film market, and making movies has always been his dream.
Gu Wei's [Wei Mingxia] is also a very well-known film and television company in the industry.
In the process of chatting, he also promised him that there would be many film projects for him in the future, and if he had his own ideas, the company would also give full support in terms of funds and personnel.
In short, the conditions promised by Gu Wei are very superior to Rao Xiaozhi, a rookie director.
In the chat with Han Jianu and Rao Xiaozhi, Gu Wei also got a message.
At the beginning of this year, Rao Xiaozhi wrote and directed his first movie [Hello, Crazy! The producer of this film is the later famous sci-fi director Guo Fan.
Han Jianu, Rao Xiaozhi, and Guo Fan are all very good friends, and Director Guo has now taken over the task of China Film and is preparing the sci-fi masterpiece "The Wandering Earth".
As early as 2012, China Film purchased Liu Cixin's sci-fi copyright [The Wandering Earth], in 2014 it was decided to start the filming of the [The Wandering Earth] movie, and in 2015, Guo Fan was determined to be the director of the film.
More than a year now, the movie is still in preparation.
As Han Jianu said, there is too much preparation work in the early stage of [The Wandering Earth], and Guo Fan has proposed to China Film several times that the funds for filming are not enough, so it will take a year before the movie actually starts filming.
Gu Wei had some impressions of what she said, the filming of the first part of the original space-time [The Wandering Earth] was indeed very economical, and there were several times when there was not enough funds.
The most famous thing is to find Wu Jing to act, not to mention that the salary can't be given, Director Guo took an investment of 60 million from Wu Jing by crying poor.
Han Jianu and Rao Xiaozhi only chatted casually, but Gu Wei was interested.
With his current relationship with China Film, it shouldn't be too difficult to invest money to become an investor in [The Wandering Earth].
China Film is a state-owned enterprise, and investing in movies requires layers of procedures, and it is difficult to take out too much money, but Gu Wei does not have this difficulty, no matter how much money is missing, he can make up for it.
His [Tang Detective 2] has a box office of 3.9 billion, and the investment and distribution have just brought more than 200 million profits to China Film.
I believe that at this time, he wants to lend a helping hand to China Film's projects with difficult funds, and the other party will not disagree.
Don't be in a hurry, just look at the other party's attitude and say that I am interested in this project, so I plan to join in.
Let's do it first, and feel free to let me know the results when they have results."
On the way to the airport, Gu Wei made a call to Yang Liwen.
The main thing is to let her contact and communicate with Zhongying first, convey Gu Wei's attitude, and see what kind of reaction they have.
Whether the matter can be decided in the end, and how much [Wei Mingxia] can invest, in the end, Gu Wei has to meet Director Guo Fan and the current chairman of China Film Group, La Peikang.
[Hurry up and I'll take my brother away] crew.
After the filming of a scene was completed, the staff packed up their things and transferred to the scene, Han Jianu put down the speaker in her hand and said to Rao Xiaozhi beside her:
"When you had dinner last night, why didn't Gu Wei invite you right away?"
She and Rao Xiaozhi have been friends for many years, and they know that the other party is talented and has always been aiming to make movies, so she feels that Gu Wei's invitation is a good opportunity for him.
"To be honest, the conditions that Mr. Gu gave me were really very tempting, but I was afraid that I would become unfree after signing in his company.
In case I am asked to make some movies that I don't like in the future, how difficult do you say I am"
In front of Han Jianu, Rao Xiaozhi did not hide it, and directly said what he thought in his heart.
"You, Tai Wenqing!
You are not Zhang Yimou or Chen Kaige, some people who want to make movies take the initiative to invest, you are still just a rookie director in the film industry, and the first movie has not yet been released, so what qualifications do you have to pick and choose.
Even if you want to make a movie you like, you have to have achievements before you can have more initiative.
It's too early to think about that.
Don't have the life of a great director, but you have the disease of a great director! ”
Han Jianu said very politely, and Rao Xiaozhi frowned when she heard it.
"And didn't Gu Wei say yesterday, if you have any ideas, what movie you want to make, he will support it.
I still know his company, although all the commercial films have been produced over the years, they are not too bad.
One of my classmates, Wen Mu, also signed it in his name, and now the first movie has been made, and I heard that it will be released at the end of this year.
You also know that I have a very good script in my hand, and I have already discussed with Gu Wei that I will give it to Wen Mu to shoot in the future.
So I advise you, if you have an opportunity, you must seize it, so as not to regret it later."
Rao Xiaozhi touched his chin and looked at the staff who were busy carrying equipment in the crew's venue.
He knew that Han Jianu also told him so much for the sake of her friends, and if other people were to take care of her, Miss Han wouldn't care.
"You're right, when our film is finished, the film will come out for Mr. Gu to see, and it can also prove my ability, and I will take the initiative to talk to him about this when the time comes."
Han Jianu patted him on the shoulder.
"I have always felt that you and Lao Guo are both talented and capable, and they will definitely become great directors in the future.
I hope you can seize every opportunity to shoot excellent works that you are satisfied with."
