After filming during the day, Gu Wei followed Guo Fan to a dinner party at night.

Director Ning Hao next door invited a guest, and took Xu Zheng, Shen Teng, and Huang Bo to get together for a meal and a drink.

In addition to Gu Wei and Guo Fan, there are also Wu Jing and Li Guangjie in the crew, a total of 8 big men, a very normal middle-aged man drinking party.

Of course, Gu Wei felt that he was a piece of little fresh meat, and he was not tied to them.

"Director Xu, meet again"

[Crazy Alien] The 4 people in the crew arrived early, Xu Zheng was wearing a black shirt, with a fat figure and a bald head, showing the greasy feeling of middle age to the fullest.

"Haha, Gu Wei, I didn't expect to come over to make a cameo for Haozi, his crew just happened to be next door to you, it's too coincidental." Xu Zheng looked enthusiastic.

He is not familiar with Gu Wei, more than two months ago, Gu Wei took over the role of [Living Together in Time and Space] and met with him and director Su Lun, and everyone officially met.

"Director Xu is coming to make a cameo appearance in [Crazy Alien]?

Which role do you play? ”

Gu Wei looked at Xu Zheng's face, and didn't remember what the other party was playing in the movie for a while.

He has some impressions of [Crazy Aliens], but there doesn't seem to be Xu Zheng's scene in his memory.

"Xu Zheng is not a cameo, he is one of the three male protagonists!" Ning Hao smiled and patted Xu Zheng's shoulder.

"Damn! Haozi, I'm kind enough to come over and help you make a cameo, you just say that about me"

"Haha, he played the monkey in the movie!" Huang Bo was happy on the sidelines.

"You just played the monkey, who of us looks like a monkey"

"I'm a monkey."

Listening to Xu Zheng and Huang Bo arguing, Gu Wei also reacted, isn't the "monkey" they said about the aliens in the movie.

"The facial expression of the "alien" in our movie is presented by capturing the facial expression of Mr. Xu Zheng, and it is no problem to say that he plays the alien." Shen Teng thought that Gu Wei didn't know the plot of [Crazy Alien], so he explained it to him.

When everyone arrived, they started to eat, and most of the 8 people knew each other well and were good friends, so everyone was more casual.

Wu Jing only joined the group recently, and now he is very popular, and he is being dragged by Ning Hao and Guo Fan to drink.

Xu Zheng also joined the group two days ago, and he has completed all the cameo work.

The so-called "alien" is actually to capture all his expressions through some high-tech machines, and then present them with CG technology as needed in the later stage, so he doesn't need to really act anything, and it is very fast to complete.

After Guo Fan and the others came in, Xu Zheng sat next to Gu Wei, he didn't forget his original intention of participating in today's dinner.

"Director Xu, how are the preparations over there for [Living Together in Time and Space]?" Gu Wei also saw that Xu Zheng was getting close to him, chatting with him while eating and drinking.

"Step by step, Liu Yifei on the heroine's side has signed a contract, the venue has been found, and it is being renovated, and now there are still several months before the start-up, and there is plenty of time"

The original planned cost of [Living Together in Time and Space] was only 40 million, and now it is a low-cost romantic comedy, and Xu Zheng didn't pay much attention to it at the beginning, or it would be impossible for Su Lun, a rookie director with no independent directing experience, to get it.

However, after Gu Wei joined, the production cost was increased to 120 million, although it is not a top-level production, it is also a "blockbuster" with an investment of over 100 million, Xu Zheng also became serious and wanted to make everything as perfect as possible.

"What about the other actors? I should have found it all."

"Except for the male and female leads, there are not many other actors, so I think about finding two friends who have a good relationship to come over and make a cameo."

After Xu Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Gu Wei, and his little eyes suddenly thought of something.

"I have an idea"

"Xu Dao, you say."

"Can you find Yang Mi to come over and make a cameo appearance in the role of Xiaoya, Xiaoya changed her name to Xiaozhai.

Then Xiaoya's husband's name is Shen Lian."

"Poof" Gu Wei, who had just taken a sip of beer, squirted out all of a sudden, but fortunately he turned his head in time and spit on the ground, and Xu Zheng on the opposite side was spared.

"Director Xu, you really dare to think that this is too linked."

"Hehe, is it eye-catching, so the connotation of this plot is much deeper, and the audience is more enjoyable to watch."

Gu Wei's movements attracted the attention of everyone else at the table.

"Old Xu, I have always said that you are not as good-looking as me, and being too close to Gu Wei made him nauseous and vomited" Huang Bo didn't know why, but it didn't prevent him from teasing Xu Zheng.

"Fuck off, we're talking about the movie, Gu Wei was shocked by a brilliant idea of mine"

"What's the idea, say it and let us analyze it." Huang Bo is not angry, he is known as the Iron Triangle with Xu Zheng and Ning Hao, and the three of them are really good friends.

"That's right," Gu Wei picked up the napkin on the table, wiped his mouth, and explained to everyone.

There is a short scene in [Living Together in Time and Space], where the heroine meets her former college best friend "Xiaoya" in her store.

This Xiaoya is a white lotus and green tea, who once robbed Gu Xiaojiao's boyfriend, and the two met again, Gu Xiaojiao pretended to be very good in front of her for the sake of face, and also revealed that she married a rich man.

Xiaoya also wants to show off her superiority in front of her former best friend.

So he invited Gu Xiaojiao to dinner at home and introduced her to her current rich husband.

Gu Xiaojiao took the male protagonist Lu Ming to the banquet and asked Lu Ming to pretend to be his rich boyfriend.

The original movie Gu Xiaojiao starred Tong Liya, and the director arranged for Xiaoya's husband to be called "Sicheng", which can be regarded as a stalk.

Now the female protagonist is replaced by Liu Yifei, and the male protagonist is replaced by Gu Wei, Xu Zheng has a whim, if Yang Milai makes a cameo appearance as this best friend "Xiaoya", no, now it is changed to "Xiaozhai".

Then her husband's name was changed to "Shen Lian", so that the linkage effect would definitely explode.

It just so happens that the protagonists of [Embroidered Spring Knife 1 and 2] are Liu Yifei and Yang Mi respectively.

"I'll go, Lao Xu, you really dare to think"

"The effect is very good, but you'd better talk to Lu Yang like this."

“.”

After listening to Gu Wei's explanation, everyone talked nonsense.

"Senior Brother Lu doesn't have anything to do over there, he won't care about this little thing, that is, how could Yang Mi come over to play this role as a guest" Gu Wei smiled bitterly.

"That's right, Yang Mi is so popular, can you come?"

“.”

"You guys, Gu Wei is here, Yang Mi doesn't give face to others, can he give my brother face?"

"Brother Teng, you cheated me."

Xu Zheng also reacted after thinking of this idea, and he didn't have much hope, but Shen Tengyi said that his eyes lit up.

Everyone knows that Gu Wei and Yang Mi have a good relationship, and the two have cooperated several times, all of which are popular film and television dramas.

Moreover, Gu Wei is also the major shareholder of [Jiaxing Media], and Yang Mi is a partner, so the relationship is naturally not ordinary.

"I really have a good relationship with my sister, and I feel sorry for other things." Gu Wei looked at Xu Zheng's eyes and explained to him.

"Try it, what if it doesn't work, let's find someone else"

Seeing that the other people also had expressions that were not a big deal to watch the excitement, Gu Wei smiled bitterly and took out his mobile phone.

He is also an investor in [Chrono Cohabitation], and he has one-third of the investment share, otherwise Gu Wei would definitely not take this kind of work.

"I'll go out and make a call"

It's not too late, Da Mimi definitely hasn't rested, and Gu Wei doesn't want to delay, so he gets up and goes out to dial her over.

Yang Mi was in the capital at this time, and he was going home after a busy day's work.

"Golden Nine Silver Ten", recently she received invitations from several women's magazines to shoot covers, although she did not join the group, she is still very busy.

Sitting in the car, the phone rang suddenly.

Yang Mi was also very surprised to see that the caller was Gu Wei, and Gu Wei rarely took the initiative to call her.

"Hello?"

"Sister Mi hasn't rested yet?"

"No, I'm heading home after a busy day.

Why did you remember to call me? ”

"There's something I want you to help with!"

"Do we still need to talk about help, I will definitely agree if you speak." Yang Mi chuckled, after the two met, Gu Wei had always helped her, and it was rare for the other party to open her mouth.

Although she didn't know what it was to be busy, she agreed to come down in one bite, after all, there were not many opportunities to make Gu Wei owe.

"Don't be in a hurry to agree, you listen to me first.

Well, you know I have a movie at the end of the year."

Gu Wei told the matter from beginning to end, and there was no sound on the other end of the phone after he finished speaking.

"Ahem. I know it's very difficult, but it's actually a whim of the director, Sister Mi, if it's difficult for you to do it, forget it."

"I'm sorry about everything else." Yang Mi's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's okay, I know I'm going to embarrass you."

"Actually, a cameo is a trivial matter, if someone else plays the heroine, even if it's Nazha and Zhang Tianai from your company, I don't mind making a cameo

That's it, when I get back, I'll invite you to dinner, or at my house" Gu Wei finally opened his mouth once, but he refused, thinking that Gu Wei had helped him several times before, Yang Mi was also a little embarrassed.

But Gu Weiti's matter really can't be done in her.

"Okay, let's make an appointment when I get back to Beijing."

"How is it, did Yang Mi agree?" Back in the box, Xu Zheng asked.

"Of course I didn't agree, so I said it wouldn't work." Gu Wei shrugged.

"Brother, you can't save face." Shen Teng coaxed on the other side, he and Wu Jing had the best relationship with Gu Wei, so they talked more casually.

"Brother Teng, you don't know, if someone else is the heroine, Yang Mi may still come to make a cameo, Liu Yifei's words." Gu Wei shook his head as he spoke.

"What's the matter, they don't have a good relationship?"

"That's not true, as far as I know, the two of them used to have a good relationship, and now although they are not as close as before, they are ordinary friends."

"Then why."

"If you have a "other person's child" who is better than you since you was a child, and other people always compare him with you, and when you grow up, you will finally be better than him, and then let you go to give him a hand, can you be willing?"

"Oh"

Da Mimi is still very individual, if it is Nazha or Zhang Tianai, Gu Wei will agree even if they don't want to act.

"Director Xu, in fact, you can find Liu Yan, she is good at playing this kind of role, and don't worry about her not answering, just say hello to the light."

"Okay." Xu Zheng nodded, it was appropriate for Yang Mi not to come to Liu Yan.

"In this case, the heroine's name doesn't need to be changed, it's still Xiaoya, just change her husband's name to "Shen Lian".

"I have no opinion," Gu Wei nodded.

"By the way, our movie is a fantasy film, involving some post-production special effects, Director Xu doesn't need to find someone else, I will introduce you to the special effects company that we [The Wandering Earth] cooperate with"

The original version of [Living Together in Time and Space] has some special effects shots, and the effect is very general, saying that 5 cents is a little less, at most 1 piece.

However, because this movie is actually a romance film, the audience mainly looks at the plot and the performances of the male and female leads, and they are not too serious about the special effects.

But this is normal, after all, the cost of the original version is too low, and there is no more budget to spend on special effects.

"That's great." Xu Zheng agreed without thinking about it.

Gu Wei glanced at Guo Fan, and Director Guo immediately reacted.

"[The Wandering Earth] currently cooperates with [Orange Vision] and [Mo MoreVFX], two domestic special effects companies, in addition to Pixomondo, Dexter and BaseFX, three joint venture special effects companies to participate in post-production.

If you don't have a lot of work on that film, I think [Orange Vision] can handle it.

His family is considered to be the top special effects company in the industry.

I'll talk to the other side and help you get a line."

"I'll go, Lao Guo, you can, so many special effects companies will do the post-production for you together" Xu Zhenggang thanked him, and Ning Hao said exaggeratedly on the side.

"Didn't you say before that [Crazy Aliens] was looking for a Hollywood special effects team, and you still need to envy me?"

"The Hollywood team is good, but it's expensive, and I'm different from you, it's not hard sci-fi, it's sci-fi plus comedy, and the money spent is not much.

If you all find a Hollywood team, it is estimated that it will cost at least 100 million more in the later stage."

"In fact, the current domestic team is really no worse than Hollywood, in order to shoot [The Wandering Earth], I ran all over the domestic special effects companies.

A lot of Hollywood blockbusters are looking for domestic companies."

"Really?" Ning Hao looked incredulous, and the attention of the others was also attracted.

"Did you know that there's a word for outsourcing?

Everyone knows that Hollywood's special effects are done well, so every year, Hollywood local blockbusters and movies from other countries around the world like to find Hollywood companies to do the post-production special effects.

But doing special effects is a very heavy and delicate work, and you can see the 5 special effects companies that [The Wandering Earth] cooperates with.

Hollywood's special effects team is also busy.

Therefore, they often outsource some projects that are not very important to South Korea and our domestic special effects companies to do it, and they don't have to do anything to make money by doing it once.

Hollywood's local blockbusters are better, and most of the foreign film projects are outsourced."

"According to what you say, these foreigners are too dark"

"There's no way, people's brands are valuable, and everyone believes them."
