Huayu is free to do as you like

Gu Wei had finished the show that day and was resting on a chair nearby.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Reba is here to visit the class." Assistant Yang Dan whispered in front of him.

Gu Wei stood up and saw Reba walking over.

She was wearing a black down jacket, a white turtleneck sweater underneath, a pair of tight jeans, and a small white bag hanging diagonally across her body.

Her wavy long hair fell down from both sides of her shoulders, her facial features were three-dimensional, and the skin on her face was so white that it seemed to glow.

"Reba, you're here~"

"Gu Wei~ I'm sorry, I wasn't here on New Year's Day and couldn't spend it with you.

So I’ll come see you as soon as I come back~”

Reba seemed very happy to be able to come to visit the class and told Gu Wei happily.

"Sit down quickly." Gu Wei asked Reba to sit down, and then poured her a glass of hot water.

"The weather is cold, drink some hot water."

Reba was not polite, she held the hot water glass with both hands, blew on it and then took a slow sip.

Putting down the cup, he took out a pair of black woolen gloves from the white bag.

"Here~ This is the gift I brought for you."

Gu Wei took it and put it on his hand. It was just the right size and he held each other's hands. The gloves were very thick and suitable for keeping warm from the cold.

"Thank you, Reba! Did you knit it yourself?" Gu Wei was a little curious.

Reba is a little embarrassed

"I bought it from my hometown in the border area. I can't knit myself, but I have started to learn from my mother. I believe I will be able to knit a scarf for you in the near future."

Reba looked confident and said a little proudly.

"Then I'll be waiting for your scarf~"

"Yeah! It's settled!" Reba seemed very confident about this.

Gu Wei was happily chatting with Reba here, and Zhao Liying came over after seeing the situation after the show.

"Gu Wei, what is this?"

She asked, looking at Reba, a beautiful and exotic little girl.

Reba's beauty and her own beauty are completely different styles.

"This is my friend, Reba, who came to visit the class today.

Reba, this is the heroine of our drama, Zhao Liying. "

Gu Wei introduced.

Reba stood up quickly, bowed and stretched out her hand.

"Hello, Sister Liying, I am Reba.

I have watched your performance in "Legend of Lu Zhen" and I particularly like your drama. Please take good care of me when we meet you for the first time~"

She looked cautiously polite.

Zhao Liying is now a well-known actress, but she is still just a little transparent in the entertainment industry.

"Hello, Reba, you look so beautiful~"

Zhao Liying also stretched out her hand to shake her and said with admiration.

"Sister Liying, you are joking. My appearance is very common in the border areas."

Reba was modest.

Zhao Liying also sat down, and the three of them chatted together. Gu Wei shared with Reba some interesting things about the filming of "Shan Shan Is Here", and Zhao Liying also chimed in, making Reba feel envious.

"Teacher Gu, it's your turn." A staff member came over to remind.

After hearing this, Gu Wei turned around and said to Reba.

"You stay here for a while. After I finish filming today's scene, we can have dinner together."

After hearing this, Reba stood up.

"No, Gu Wei, you go about your business first, filming is important.

Anyway, I am also in Shanghai. If you have time, call me anytime and we will be together again. "

"That's okay too."

Gu Wei thought about it and decided that it would be inappropriate to let Reba wait here alone.

Reba also said hello to Zhao Liying and left.

After the day's filming, everyone called it a day and went back to the hotel.

Zhao Liying came to Gu Wei's side

"Does the little beauty who came to visit us today have a special relationship with you?"

She asked with a smile on her face as she looked inquiring.

"Reba is an actress I met in my last movie. I am optimistic about her potential and will definitely become a big star in the future."

Gu Wei said seemingly seriously.

"You know that's not what I'm asking. Just look at the way she looks at you, and you know she's not just an ordinary friend.

Nine times out of ten, she is a little fan girl who was fooled by you. "

After hearing this, Gu Wei looked at Zhao Liying's face and smiled mischievously.

"Really? But I feel like you usually look at me the same way, Liying!"

"Me? I didn't. I was filming. Forget it. I won't tell you this anymore. Let's go!"

Zhao Liying looked a little angry after being told by Gu Wei.

She was still thinking when she turned around and walked away

‘Are my eyes as obvious as usual? ’

On January 17th, the crew of "Detective Chinatown" held a grand celebration banquet in Beijing.

The crew of [Tang Detective] and all the cast and crew were all dressed up to attend the banquet.

The bosses of the three major companies were also present with their capable people.

This celebration banquet was organized and prepared by Gu Wei Company.

In this movie [Tang Detective], [Wei Tian Xia] is the real controlling party.

Gu Wei has returned to the capital one day early, and he is the real host at this celebration banquet.

At the beginning of the banquet, Gu Wei asked Director Han to come on stage to say a few words, but Director Han declined. Although he had the highest status in the film and television industry, it was Gu Wei's home court now, and he did not want to usurp the guest.

Seeing that Director Han was resolute, Gu Wei did not try to persuade him.

He took the initiative to walk to the field

“Dear [Detective Chinatown] crew members, actors and friends from the media.

Thank you very much for coming to today's celebration banquet.

[Tang Detective] This movie took more than a year from preparation to shooting to final screening.

To this day, I can still clearly remember the faces of those who were not optimistic and ridiculed when [Tang Detective] first announced the project.

The process of production and promotion of the release was not smooth sailing, and every step was filled with thorns and ups and downs.

Fortunately, we succeeded in the end. With the efforts of everyone, we delivered an excellent movie to the audience.

It also achieved unexpected and huge success.

This success belongs to everyone here and everyone who has contributed to [Tang Detective].

Here I would like to thank everyone again for your contribution to the film. "

After speaking, Gu Wei bowed deeply to the audience.

"Thank you director!"

“The best director~”

"."

Hearing what Gu Wei said, the people in the audience also started shouting.

Especially Chen He and Xiao Pan took the lead in shouting the most enthusiastically.

After Gu Wei finished speaking, the staff carried out a huge wooden board covered with red cloth from the backstage. It was rectangular, like a plaque, but much larger.

All the main actors in the crew came on stage, as well as three CEOs of Xuanfa Company. Everyone grabbed the lower edge of the red cloth and gently pulled down the red cloth while the staff shouted "3~2~1!" .

A row of huge numbers is displayed on the wooden board, with a 1 in front and nine 0s behind it.

The movie’s box office revenue exceeded 1 billion.

Then everyone stood under the numbers and took a group photo.

"There's not much to say. Since it's a celebration banquet, let's eat, drink, and play as much as we like.

Everyone present will get a red envelope soon! ! "

"Thank you to the director for sending me the red envelope~"

"Long live the director!!"

"."

Without doing anything formal, Gu Wei simply said a few words and let everyone start the table.

At the banquet, everyone drank and drank, and Gu Wei, as the director, was certainly the one who attracted the most attention.

Almost everyone came over to toast him.

Of course, Gu Wei also accepted everyone who came, but when others drank the whole glass, he only had a dip.

"Mr. Gu, congratulations.

It turns out that when I worked with you, I just thought you were a talented person and could be successful, but I didn't expect that the movie would be so good and the box office would be such a hit. "

Wang Changtian came to Gu Wei and said with emotion.

"No, Mr. Wang, this is not my fault alone, thanks to everyone's help.

The movie also owes a lot to you, Mr. Wang. "

Gu Wei said modestly. He saw a middle-aged man standing behind Wang Changtian. He looked about 40 years old, a little fat, with dark eyes, giving people the impression of an honest man.

"Mr. Wang, who is this?"

When Wang Changtian heard Gu Wei's question, he smiled, turned sideways, and let the people behind him out.

"Let me introduce to Mr. Gu, this is Director Tian Xiaopeng, a professional animation film director.

This time I brought Director Tian here to beg for help with Mr. Gu.

Director Tian is the best animated film director I have ever seen. He is currently producing a film, but unfortunately the funds are somewhat insufficient. If Mr. Gu is interested, he can help. "

Gu Wei listened to Wang Changtian's introduction and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, Director Tian."

"Hello, Director Gu!

I like your movies very much and I am very happy to meet you today. "

Tian Xiaopeng shook hands with Gu Wei, looking excited.

As a director, although Gu Wei is very young, his achievements are beyond Tian Xiaopeng's dreams.

Gu Wei felt a little familiar when he heard the name.

"Director Tian, ​​may I ask, what is the name of the animated film you are currently filming?"

"Director Gu, I served as the production supervisor of the domestic cartoon "Journey to the West" in 1997. Since then, I have always been obsessed with the theme of "Journey to the West". I have written, directed, prepared and produced an animated film six years ago. It’s called [Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage].

It’s a shame that after years of hard work, only part of this animated film was produced due to funding issues. "

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Wei with expectant eyes.

Gu Wei reacted when he heard Director Tian say the name of the animated movie.

Isn't this the movie "Journey to the West: The Return of the Monkey King" that is said to be the rise of domestic animated films.

It is said that during the eight-year production process, due to the extreme shortage of funds, the director even had to go to his wife, parents and even his father-in-law and mother-in-law to borrow money to finance the filming.

Later on, I really ran out of money, so I followed my friend’s advice and went online to crowdfund through WeChat Moments.

In the end, he was able to raise a total of 7.8 million yuan from 89 investors.

Now that Gu Wei has been found, it will definitely not be as difficult for him to make a movie as it was in the original time and space.

"Director Tian, ​​I personally like animated movies very much. I still remember watching [Tadpole Looking for Mom] and [Carp Jumping over Dragon Gate] when I was a child. They are both excellent ink animation films produced in our own country.

It is a pity that in the past ten years, it is difficult to produce excellent animated films anymore.

If you have time tomorrow, you can come to our company with some of the finished films that you have already produced, and I will decide whether to invest after watching them. "

Gu Wei did not refuse directly, which made Director Tian Xiaopeng very happy.

I can’t wait to go back and prepare the film now.

On the sidelines, Wang Changtian was also happy for Director Tian. He had seen part of the finished film "The Return of the Great Sage", so he invested part of his money in it.

However, there is no successful precedent for animated movies in China, so he is relatively cautious about this investment. It would also be good to bring in more people to share the risks.

The celebration banquet came to an end in a very pleasant atmosphere.

The movie was a hit at the box office and everyone was given red envelopes as usual.

Among them, producer Chen Zhixi, producer Lu Yang, and protagonist Wang Baoqiang have the biggest red envelopes, which will definitely satisfy them.

Moreover, Senior Brother Lu Yang’s side, Gu Wei, also prepared an extra portion for him. In the early stages of preparation for [Tang Detective], if it weren’t for Lu Yang’s face, Zhongying might not have joined. Don’t forget to dig the well.

Baoqiang and Gu Wei promised that if the first movie was so successful, he would be allowed to contribute part of the money as one of the investors in the sequel.

If you have money, can we all make it together? Wang Baoqiang’s role is indispensable for the success of [Tang Detective]. Substitution is definitely not possible. The only way is to spend more money to win him over.

When Xu Zheng was filming "囧囧", he found Wang Baoqiang. For Xu Zheng's sake, Wang Baoqiang, who was already famous at that time, only wanted a salary of 2 million yuan.

Later, the movie sold 1.2 billion yuan, and Xu Zheng earned a lot of money.

Later, [囧] found him again, and Wang Baoqiang proposed to use his salary to become a shareholder. However, Xu Zheng, knowing that the sequel was bound to be a hit, decisively refused and found Bao Bei'er, who only had a salary of 5 million.

As a result, the reputation of "Hong Kong 囧" plummeted.

Therefore, Gu Wei knows very well that you can never make enough money. Only by bringing everyone together to make money can you make more money and make it for a long time.
