Last night, the rain was sparse and the wind was sudden, and the heavy sleep did not kill the wine.

Although Gu Wei and Zeng Li didn't drink, the wind and rain were not small.

After a deep night's sleep, when he woke up the next day, Zeng Li felt a lot more relaxed, as if he had suddenly lifted a thousand pounds of heavy burden.

Since the broadcast of [Ode to Joy], her fame has rushed to the front-line position in the industry, and countless scripts have been found, including idol dramas, and there are also big heroines who are engaged in careers, so she has been busy filming in the group for the past two years.

When I was young, my career was tepid, and when I reached middle age, I suddenly became popular because I knew such a younger brother as Gu Wei, and I have experienced what it is like to be a popular star in the past year or so.

It's good, it's just a little tired

However, if he chooses again, Zeng Li still wants to be popular.

Not to mention the benefits of money and fame, at least after becoming popular, you have more choice.

used to be not very famous, and there were only a few scripts that looked for her every year, and most of them were still 3 or 4 supporting roles, so if she didn't act, she could only be idle.

Since she became popular, there are so many scenes looking for her that she can't act, and she can choose her favorite crew and role according to her own requirements.

It's great to feel like you're able to take charge of your own business!

In the morning, Gu Wei went to the company after eating.

Zeng left home to clean up the house.

The day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and she has not arranged work for the past two days, just waiting for the Spring Festival Gala to return to her hometown for the New Year.

After a busy morning, tidying up the house, Zeng Li was wearing a light gray home clothes, holding a small rag in his hand, his hair tied up, and his waist was pinched, which was very fulfilling.

wiped the fine sweat on his head, looked at himself in the dressing mirror, I don't know if it was because of the work in the morning, Zeng Li always felt that his complexion was exceptionally good today.

Obviously, he cleaned up the house without any makeup, the skin on his face was white and red, and the whole person was much more energetic than usual.

She suddenly remembered what her old classmate had told her last time after Gu Wei left.

Look at yourself in the mirror and raise your hand to touch your smooth face.

"It can't really be because of Gu Wei, right?

This kind of thing also has a beauty effect, I haven't heard of it."

Thinking about it, I don't know if I'm thinking too much.

"Do you want to call Gu Wei to come over tonight?

Try again? ”

Zeng Li hesitated.

"Forget it, his parents are in the capital, and the family is finally reunited, so don't call him.

It should be that I think too much, maybe I am too tired from work, and I will rest well and naturally radiant after I come back."

Zeng Li, who had made up his mind, didn't think too much about it, anyway, it was a good thing, humming a song and walking to the kitchen, and began to think about what to eat at noon.

In the company's office, Gu Wei was working on some documents.

Before and after the end of the year, there were a lot of things in [Wei Mingxia].

[Love Saint] has been released, this small-budget comedy film independently invested and produced by the company has achieved great success at the box office, with a final box office of 758 million, excluding the cost, [Wei Mingxia] has a net profit of more than 200 million.

There will be some income from online copyright in the future, which can be regarded as a trickle.

And the first part is so successful, [Love Saint 2] also has to be on the schedule, but director Wen Mu and the starring Xiao Zhen still have [I Am Not the God of Medicine] to film, so they can only get the script out first, and then start preparing when they have time in the later stage.

The release time of the two dramas produced by the company last year [Three Lives and Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms] and [The Legend of Chu Qiao] has been set.

[Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms] is the 30th of this month, and there are still 5 days to go.

[The Legend of Chu Qiao] was scheduled for May by Mango Channel and broadcast in the [Youth in Progress] theater.

These two dramas don't have to worry about Gu Wei's company, and there are naturally local TV stations and video platforms that buy the copyright to do marketing before and after the release.

Yang Zi and Li Xian's "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost" is in post-production, and director Wu Jinyuan has also been working overtime in the company's editing studio recently.

However, the post-production time of a costume fairy drama like this will not be too short, and it will take 3 or 4 months for the finished film to come out.

Because the copyright transaction price of this film did not meet expectations, it has been temporarily shelved by Gu Wei, and it will be sold after Yang Zi and Li County's reputation rises.

In this way, the broadcast time will probably be pushed to next year, and it just so happens that there are too many TV dramas with the potential to be popular this year, so I also avoid focusing on my own dramas to be launched this year, and I will fight myself.

Gu Wei and Reba's urban romantic drama [You Are My Glory], which was completed in November last year, has been completed, and they are now negotiating with several local satellite TV for the first round of broadcast rights.

This drama is a customized drama of [Glory of Kings], and the webcast channel must choose Tengxun Video, but the price is still being communicated, but Tengxun has always been wealthy, even if it is to promote [Glory of Kings], they will offer a price that is satisfactory to Gu Wei.

After all, in the structure of the Tengxun Group, the importance of games is far greater than that of the video platform, and [Glory of Kings] is the most important project of the Fujisen game after [League of Legends].

The annual revenue of rattan news games is hundreds of billions of yuan, which is not inferior to Gu Wei's two jujubes.

As an aside, making games is really far more profitable than filming.

In 2016, the total box office of the Chinese film market was 45.712 billion yuan, which has hit a new high in recent years.

According to the financial report released by Tengxun a few days ago, in 2016, the total revenue of Tengxun was 151.9 billion, and the revenue of mobile games was 38.2 billion.

A company beats the entire domestic entertainment film market.

The revenue from mobile games alone almost caught up with the total box office of the domestic film market that year.

This is still in the case of [Glory of Kings] without a fire.

Gu Wei knows very well that in the next few years, with the upgrading of smart phones, the mobile game [Glory of Kings] will become more and more popular, and it is estimated that the revenue of Tengxun mobile games alone will far exceed the total box office of the domestic film market in the future.

It is impossible for a person to watch a movie every day, but he can play a game anytime and anywhere.

The campus fantasy film "Take My Brother Away" starring Peng Yuchang and Zhao Yanmai is almost in post-production.

Gu Wei discussed with the professionals in the company and set the release time of this movie for this year's summer file.

It's just that before the release of [Wolf Warrior 2], avoid being crushed into cannon fodder by Gu Wei's own films.

Although this movie is produced by [Wei Mingxia] alone, Gu Wei plans to give China Film and Wanda a certain share of investment and pull two allies in.

Part of the reason is because of director Han Jianu, her identity is special, and there will definitely be preferential treatment for pulling Zhongying into the scene.

On the other hand, this movie is different from [Love Saint], which is also produced by the company alone, from the two directors Han Jianu and Rao Xiaozhi to Peng Yuchang, Zhao Yanmai, Zhou Qi and several actors, newcomers in Yishui.

Everyone is not famous, and it is difficult to get the film schedule just by the movie itself, and it is also for the box office to pull allies.

The reason why [Love Saint] eats alone is because the film is a comedy, Xiao Yan, Xiao Shenyang, Qiao Shan, Yan Ni and others also have a certain reputation, plus with the blessing of Gu Wei, they are not afraid that the theater will not schedule the film.

Looking back on the whole 2016, Gu Wei's harvest is not small.

[Embroidered Spring Knife 2], which was released on December 30, 2015, has a total box office of 1.03 billion, making it the best martial arts movie at the box office in the past 10 years.

Before this, only [Hero] and [Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon] outperformed [Embroidered Spring Knife 2] with the global box office.

Gu Wei took over this movie early, with a salary of only 20 million, but there is still 30% of the investment.

It has been almost a year since the movie was released, and after removing the cost, [Embroidered Spring Knife 2] has brought Gu Wei a net profit of more than 100 million.

Unlike [Embroidered Spring Knife], which only participates in and invests, [Detective Chinatown 2] released in the summer of 2016 belongs to the movie controlled by Gu Wei himself.

The cost of the film is 350 million, and Gu Wei wears three hats, director, screenwriter, and starring, and takes a total of 60 million in remuneration.

The final box office was 3.9 billion, and [Wei Mingxia] accounted for 60% of the investment as the main controller of the film.

More than a dozen product placements in the movie collected a total of 125 million.

This film brought [Wei Mingxia] nearly 1 billion in revenue.

The final box office of [Mekong Action] released on the National Day was 2.08 billion, and Gu Wei's remuneration was converted into investment, accounting for 20% of the shares, and finally received 150 million yuan.

In the whole year of 2016, Gu Wei did not have any TV series works broadcast, and these three movies were launched.

In addition to the income from movies, Gu Wei renewed the endorsements of Lay's potato chips, baicaowei, Master Kong iced tea, Mosen glasses, L'Oreal men, KFC, Lebao beer, Qingyang, and Watsons in January 16.

All are two-year contracts that expire in January '18, with a total of 410 million endorsement fees.

In September, he signed an endorsement of 60 million yuan for two years for [Glory of Kings], and signed contracts with Coca-Cola and Porsche in November, with 15 million US dollars and 10 million US dollars for 2 years respectively.

In the last few days of December, he signed a contract with Bulgari for 2 years and 10 million US dollars.

In 16 years, Gu Wei's income in endorsement was as high as 730 million yuan.

In addition to these, there is also the continuous copyright income brought by films such as [Tang Detective 1], "The Promotion of the Crown Princess", "A Smile is Alluring", and "The Return of the Great Sage" produced by [Wei Mingxia] a few years ago.

Among them, [A Smile is Alluring] has sold the right to screen satellite TV several times, and the income is the highest.

And the company's early production of [Residual Sin] was packaged and sold to LETV Video by Gu Wei with the follow-up copyright, but I heard that the film has now been taken off the shelves, and the LETV video has a lot of complaints about [Wei Mingxia].

Gu Wei looked at the company's various data reports for the past year, the office door was knocked, and Director Rao Xiaozhi walked in.

Gu Wei raised his head and said with a smile: "Director Rao, sit!" I'm just about to find you and Senior Sister Han, the viewing of [Take My Brother Away] will be scheduled for the next year, and the company plans to release this film in the summer of this year."

Rao Xiaozhi held a white covered notebook in his hand and sat on the guest sofa on the side of Gu Wei's desk.

"In terms of movie release, Mr. Gu, you look at the arrangement, and if there is anything I need to do at that time, just do the company's instructions"

Rao Xiaozhi's posture was very low.

On New Year's Day this year, his first movie [Hello, Maniac! ] was released on the same day as Wen Muye's [Love Saint], and as a result, [Love Saint] was a big seller, [Good, crazy! The final box office was only 15.66 million, and the capital was not returned.

Although the reputation is good, the first movie he directed lost so badly, which really hit Rao Xiaozhi's self-confidence.

"Director Rao rest assured, [Take my brother away] You have no problem with Senior Sister Han, the quality of the movie is guaranteed, and the company will definitely do the best in terms of post-publicity and distribution.

This is a low-budget campus fantasy movie, and the possibility of a big sale is not too great, but there is no problem at all to make a small profit."

Rao Xiaozhi and Gu Wei chatted a few words around [Take my brother away] before saying the main topic of today's visit.

"Mr. Gu, I wrote a script in my free time last year, and I will bring it to you to see."

As he spoke, he handed over the white-covered notebook in his hand.

Gu Wei took it with some surprise, and saw that there were four big characters written on the cover.

The name was unfamiliar, and he couldn't think of a movie he had seen with that name before.

But in the end, it was his own director, Gu Wei's expression on his face did not change, and he directly opened it and watched it.

Rao Xiao waited a little nervously without making any sound.

Gu Wei read the book at a glance and ten lines, and it didn't take long to read the script again, and he had a general understanding of the story inside.

'Sure enough, you can't just look at the title, otherwise you'll miss out on a good film'

Gu Wei took a long breath of relief, and the smile on his face resurfaced.

"Director Rao, the story you wrote is very exciting, the stories of several little people are connected together through a broken gun, absurd but real and touching, very tasteful"

Rao Xiaozhi listened to Gu Wei's evaluation, and his hanging heart also fell to the ground.

"Once on a plane last year, I listened to Yao Shisan's song "The Blind Man", and I was particularly touched by the nostalgia conveyed in it, so I had the idea of making a movie related to my hometown.

Boss, you also know that I used to be a drama director, and part of this script also borrowed from the drama "Idiot]."

Gu Wei nodded.

"When I read the script and story, I have a bit of the feeling of director Ning Hao's [Crazy Stone], montage film technique, parallel and intersecting segmented shooting, and finally all the branches come together."

"That's right, that's what I thought, in fact, it's a reference to [Two Big Smoking Guns], a multi-clue narrative, and finally converges on a main line"

"How much does Director Rao expect to shoot this film?"

Rao Xiaozhi heard Gu Wei's question and stabilized his emotions.

"When I was writing the script, I thought about some of the main actors and scenes, and 30 million was enough to shoot them all."

Gu Wei didn't reply immediately, looking at the cover of the script and thinking about something.

Rao Xiaozhi was worried, seeing that Gu Wei didn't speak, he thought that he felt that the cost was too high, after all, the total box office of his last movie was only 15 million, and this time the cost of 30 million had to get a box office of more than 90 million to make money.

"Mr. Gu, in terms of cost, it should be possible to press it down if you think of a way."

Gu Wei was stunned for a moment and looked up at Rao Xiaozhi.

"Director Rao misunderstood, your book is very good!

There is no problem with the cost of 30 million, and if it is not enough, it can be made up.

In this way, just like Wen Muye's [I am not the God of Medicine], start preparing for the New Year, and I will explain it when I go back, so that all departments of the company can cooperate with you.

Both of your films will be promoted as important projects for the company this year."

"Thank you, Mr. Gu."

Rao Xiaozhi smiled, he didn't expect that his new film could go so smoothly.

"What do you think about the actors?"

"When I was writing the script, I thought of a few actors who often acted in dramas, which fit the image of the characters in the play."

"Okay, you know best who you use in the script you write, if there is a suitable role, I hope you can first consider the actors under the company"

Rao Xiaozhi nodded, it is normal to praise his own artists.

Gu Wei hesitated.

"I think this movie could be changed to a more appropriate name, [Nobody] is good"

Ask for a commuter pass!
