After reading the script invitation he received recently, Gu Wei took out the only book he was interested in.

"This could have been considered next, communicate with the crew first, and see how much investment share can be given?"

"No problem, if you can send an invitation to the boss, you will generally set aside a certain share for us, but how much is the relationship, this aspect should be easy to discuss"

Gu Wei pulled out the cover of the script with a few big words [Young You].

Yang Liwen looked at this script, and relevant information flashed through her mind.

"This book is one of the most impressive of all the invitations.

Because director Zeng Guoxiang is not small, producer Xu Yuezhen is even more famous in the Hong Kong Island film and television circle.

And it is said that [Young You] will be the original producer of [July and Ansheng], and the quality of the movie is very guaranteed."

Zeng Guoxiang's father is Zeng Zhiwei, he entered the entertainment industry in his early years and worked as an actor for a period of time, but later changed careers to become a director.

In 2015, Zeng Guoxiang directed the movie "July and Ansheng".

The following year, he was nominated for Best Director at the 36th Hong Kong Island Film Awards and Best Director at the 53rd Bay Bay Film Golden Horse Awards.

On April 22 this year, he won the 8th China Film Directors Association Annual Hong Kong and Taiwan Director Award for [July and Ansheng].

Zhou Dongyu also got the Golden Horse Movie Queen with his help.

As for Xu Yuezhen, he was a famous producer on Hong Kong Island, who controlled many blockbuster movies on Hong Kong Island back then, and later went north to the mainland and was the producer of well-known films such as "October Siege", "Martial Arts", "Blood Drops", and "Chinese Partner".

It is said that the heroine has been decided, and it is still Zhou Dongyu.

She has a lot of relationship with Hong Kong Island, and after [July and Ansheng], director Tsang Kwok-cheung still plans to continue to work with her."

Gu Wei nodded, he had also heard the rumors between Zhou Dongyu, an old classmate, and Zeng Zhiwei, and Zeng Guoxiang was not surprised to praise her.

"Let's get in touch first, the movie script is good, and the production team can do it, but whether we can really cooperate will have to be discussed."

He chose [Young You] because this movie is one of the few films that has a good reputation at the box office after 18 years.

It is a drama film with a youth theme that reflects school bullying, and it also has a very good performance at the box office.

To be honest, Gu Wei wants to win the award but doesn't want to make a movie that is too ugly at the box office, [Young You] is a good choice.

Since last night, the first snow of this winter has fallen in the capital.

This morning, the whole city was covered with a white blanket, and it became a world covered in snow.

A rather secluded private restaurant in the second ring road, the decoration in the box is antique, the black and brown walnut wooden dining table, the center is a steaming copper hot pot, surrounded by meat slices, seafood, vegetables, very rich.

Gu Wei was wearing a light brown sweater and sat on a mahogany chair on the side of the dining table.

The soup in the hot pot was already boiling, but he still didn't move his chopsticks, just fiddling with his phone boringly, obviously waiting for someone.

"I'm sorry, there's a traffic jam outside, I'm late."

The door was pushed open from the outer door, and a figure wearing a long black down jacket walked in, took off his hat and said apologetically to Gu Wei.

"Fortunately, it was only 5 minutes late, and I just arrived, so I didn't wait too long."

"I told you to come to my house, but you don't, it's snowing outside today, and there are many cars in the capital, I already left 20 minutes early, or a little late."

The visitor took off her thick coat and hung it on the hanger at the entrance, inside was a pale yellow shirt, the style looked very ordinary, but it looked very fashionable against the backdrop of her beautiful face.

"Auntie is so enthusiastic, I'm embarrassed to always go.

It's more comfortable to come out and eat." Gu Wei explained, and then looked at the other party's white face.

"Sister Yifei, you seem to have lost weight"

"Really?

I've been doing physical training for the past few months, and it's normal to lose a little weight."

Hearing what Gu Wei said, Liu Yifei showed a smiling face, obviously very happy.

She knew that Gu Wei had returned to the capital after the TV series, and she happened to have time for herself, so she asked him out for dinner.

"I probably can't eat much after ordering so much."

After sitting down, Liu Yifei straightened his waist and tied up his loose hair, and glanced at the shabu-shabu ingredients on the table.

"Haven't you already been chosen, and do you still want to diet to control your body shape?" When the people arrived, Gu Wei also began to eat meat and vegetables, ready to eat.

"I can't indulge myself if I succeed in casting, it's still early for the movie to start, and I have to keep in shape."

"Chubby Mulan is also cute." Gu Wei joked.

"Going"

In the second half of the year, Gu Weijin filmed [Do You Know], and Liu Yifei also flew to the other side of the ocean to participate in the casting audition of [Mulan].

There is no doubt that she finally stood out from the crowd of competitors with an absolute advantage and got the role of Mulan.

This is undoubtedly worth celebrating, so after returning to China, I want to have dinner with Gu Wei to share the good news together.

"Sister Yifei, congratulations on getting the heroine of a Hollywood blockbuster, and going international is just around the corner" Gu Wei picked up his wine glass and congratulated Liu Yifei.

He was telling the truth.

Although the box office of [Mulan] in the later period was not ideal, Liu Yifei failed to enter Hollywood as he thought at the beginning and became an international movie star.

But the international influence that the film has brought her is real.

After the release of [Mulan], Liu Yifei added several new luxury endorsements, directly airborne to Louis Vuitton and Bulgari's global spokesperson, just like the current Gu Wei.

She was even hired by Abu Dhabi as a tourism image spokesperson, and before her, this endorsement belonged to O'Neill.

It can be seen that [Mulan] is definitely more good than bad for her.

"Thank you.

I didn't expect this trip to the United States to go so smoothly."

Liu Yifei happily raised her cup and touched it with Gu Wei.

This is the second best news she has received in the past six months, the first is that she received the script of [Living Together in Time and Space], and she can cooperate with Gu Wei again as a couple.

"I said before that you are the only Chinese actress who is most suitable for this role, and it seems that Disney's side coincides with what I think."

The two took a sip of wine and then began to eat hot pot.

Outside the window, the snow is white, the occasional north wind is whistling, the hot pot in the house is steaming, Gu Wei and Liu Yifei are chatting while eating, clinking glasses and drinking when they are happy, the atmosphere is very warm.

"Your movie is just over a week away.

I just watched your crew's episode of [Happy Camp] on TV last night, and the recent publicity has made a big splash."

"Have you been scrolling through TikTok lately?" Gu Wei took a slice of mutton and put it in his bowl, wrapped it in sesame sauce, and then put it in his mouth.

"I brush it when it's okay, what's wrong?"

"[Predecessor 3] The investment in publicity and distribution on the short video platform is far greater than that of traditional channels, if you brush Douyin, you should know that our film is particularly popular on it!

And not only Douyin, but also short video apps such as Kuaishou and Watermelon Video are also related."

"I also remembered that you said that, and I have indeed been brushing up on short videos of your movie lately.

Is this new propaganda channel reliable? ”

"Of course, it is reliable, at present, there are more than 600 million users of short videos in China, and they are mainly young people.

[Predecessor 3] tells a story about love and regret, and the suitable audience is young people aged 20~35.

The short video channel can accurately target the target audience, and the publicity effect can only be better."

"Then will we use the same publicity method for the [Living Together in Time and Space] that we will shoot in the future?" Liu Yifei thought for a while and asked.

"Well, you're thinking far enough, and now the movie is considering releasing before it starts.

However, that's right, when the time comes, I will suggest that the publicity and distribution company adopt this method of publicity."

The current investors of [Living Together in Time and Space] are [Light Media], [Zhen Le Dao] and [Wei Mingxia], if there is no accident, the publicity will be [Light Media] and [Wei Mingxia] together, Gu Wei naturally has the right to decide.

"The [Second Generation Goblin] I filmed before was released on the same day as [Predecessor 3], and now it's a lot worse in terms of popularity"

"These two movies are romance films, should we bet on the box office after their release?" Gu Wei proposed with a smile.

"How to bet?

Is it much more than the box office, then I will definitely lose.

Although I am very unwilling, I am a little far from you in terms of box office appeal." Liu Yifei pursed his lips and poked the sauce bowl in front of him with chopsticks.

"It's definitely better than the box office, but it's like playing chess, I think it's not fair, I can let you"

"How?"

"One billion, if the box office of [Predecessor 3] exceeds the [Second Generation Goblin] billion, I win, otherwise, I lose.

What do you think? Gu Wei's suggestion was quite tempting.

Liu Yifei knows that his movies can't compete with Gu Wei at the box office, but they are all romance films, [Second Generation Goblin] is still dominated by Chen Guofu, and the actors are also famous celebrities, so it should be impossible for the other party to exceed the box office of one billion.

"[The second generation of goblins] has obtained the 500 million distribution guarantee of [Beijing Culture], what if the box office does not exceed 500 million in the future?"

"In this way, if the final box office of your movie does not exceed 500 million, it will be calculated as 500 million, and if it does, it will naturally be calculated according to the actual box office!" Gu Wei said very generously.

"I remember, the current box office record holder of domestic romance films is still your previous [Left Ear], right?"

"Yes, a little more than 800 million, followed by more than 700 million [To Our Dying Youth] and more than 600 million [Beijing Meets Seattle's Love Letter] Gu Wei nodded, he remembered these very clearly.

Liu Yifei blinked her big eyes and stared at Gu Wei.

"You are so confident in the current [Predecessor 3]?

Think it can get more than 1.5 billion at the box office?

After all, this is just a romance movie, not a movie like [Wolf Warrior 2] that can arouse the audience's patriotic feelings."

"Who knows how much box office the movie will get before it comes out?

Isn't this the fun of betting" Gu Wei is still digging a pit for Liu Yifei.

"Well, since you said so, I don't have confidence in myself if I hesitate." Liu Yifei patted the table and said confidently.

"What are we gambling on?" The corners of Gu Wei's mouth couldn't help but curl up, and he began to think about letting Liu Yifei lose to himself.

"What do you say?" Liu Yifei thought for a while and asked.

"Why don't you lose and call me Daddy?" Gu Wei asked tentatively.

However, he saw that Liu Yifei was about to beat him when he raised his hand, so he hurriedly changed his words.

"It's a bit rude to Auntie like this, it's better for Sister Yifei."

"I don't have any good ideas, so let's make sure that the loser should agree to a winning request that is not too much." Liu Yifei thought about it and said.

"Okay, that's it!" After she finished speaking, Gu Wei raised his palm, and Liu Yifei also understood what he meant, and clapped his hands with him, which was considered to settle the matter.

"When will [Mulan] be turned on?" The two chatted while eating, and after a while, they drank a bottle of wine, and Liu Yifei's originally fair face was slightly red, looking very cute.

"In the second half of next year, the crew is tentatively scheduled to start filming in August.

But I have to go to the group in March.

After all, it is an action movie, and there are war scenes in it, and there are a lot of martial arts scenes.

I have to train in advance."

"Then you'll have to go over there after [Chrono Cohabitation] is finished, you should be very busy next year."

"It's okay, it's actually just two plays.

According to the previously set time, after New Year's Day, [Time and Space Cohabitation] will be turned on.

Your movie promotion won't delay joining the group, right? ”

Gu Wei touched his chin.

"It doesn't matter, I've already said hello here, only a few days after the release, I will run a roadshow with the group, and then I will enter the group to film normally."

Liu Yifei nodded, then rolled his eyes and looked at Gu Wei.

"I watched the news a while ago, and you told the media about your ex-girlfriend.

The release of the new movie is so hard, even his previous relationship is said to the outside? ”

"I just happened to be asked, I have nothing to hide, as long as I don't say my name, it doesn't matter what else, just let the media and netizens guess" Gu Wei looked indifferent.

"You're very generous."

"I have nothing to say to people, I am open-minded, of course generous"

When Liu Yifei heard him say this, he looked at Gu Wei with a smile.

"Huh.

Is tying up your ex-girlfriend all the way to yourself called open-mindedness?

But what you said in the interview is really fine, you can still be friends after breaking up.

People break up and don't get along, but your breakup relationship seems to be more intimate."

Liu Yifei has known Gu Wei for a long time and knows a lot about his two relationships.

"Ahem.

This plum wine tasted really good today"

Gu Wei was a little embarrassed to talk to him, and he was about to clink glasses with Liu Yifei when he picked up his wine glass.

When you brag, you're afraid that your friends who know you well will be by your side.

Seeing Gu Wei like this, Liu Yifei did not continue to reveal his old bottom, picked up the wine glass and touched it and took a big sip.

Both of them drank a lot of alcohol, and they had drunk two bottles of plum wine since they started eating.

Of course, this wine is only 18 degrees, the degree is not high, the taste is good, and it is more suitable for girls.

So Liu Yifei only had red cheeks, and he didn't feel too much.

Gu Wei didn't react at all, he drank a lot of alcohol, and today he was mainly to accompany Liu Yifei, otherwise he usually drank high liquor above 50 degrees with Wu Jing, and this kind of fruit wine was rarely drunk.

After being full of wine and food, Gu Wei and the others separated from the hotel and got into the nanny car to pick up them.

A pleasant dinner is over, and when we meet again, we have to wait for [Living Together in Time and Space] to start.
