Chapter 13 Studio (Please collect)

"Hello, Mr. Gu, the professional talent you asked our company to find has been found for you according to your requirements."

"OK."

The caller was a headhunter.

A few days ago, Gu Wei commissioned a headhunting company to find an agent for him.

Gu Wei has no plans to join any entertainment company. He is rich now and will be even richer in the future.

I will never lack channels in the future and will know what dramas will become popular.

Why would you join a big company and get exploited?

At most, I can make some cakes myself and give them some, and we can make the cake bigger together.

Some people are not good at doing good things, but are very good at doing bad things.

I went to the headhunting company in the afternoon and met the interviewer.

"Hello, my name is Yang Liwen. I used to work as an assistant to one of Huayi's artists under Sister Hua."

The interviewer was a woman in her early 30s with fair skin and a plump figure. She was smiling as she spoke and looked very wealthy. It was obvious that she was a very approachable person.

"I've read your resume and I'm quite satisfied with you.

Let me talk about our company. The company is my personal artist studio, and you know this.

I need a personal agent now, and even a studio manager in the future.

The company is about to invest 15 million yuan in a movie, and I'm the lead actor. So I need a professional agent to handle all matters related to me."

Gu Wei said, holding his resume

"No problem, I can handle all of this."

"Do you have any other requirements for treatment?"

Gu Wei asked

"No, I am very satisfied with the treatment."

Gu Wei stood up and extended his hand

“I hope our future cooperation will go smoothly.”

In fact, Yang Liwen’s resume is not outstanding. Most of her previous work experience was as a personal assistant to artists.

I only worked as an agent for one year, and the actors I managed were all unknown little-known actors.

But Gu Wei is not famous yet, so even famous agents in the entertainment industry will not come to him for an application.

The treatment he gave to Yang Liwen was already the best she could get at this stage, and if Gu Wei became famous in the future, her salary as his agent would naturally rise as well.

With Yang Liwen, everything in the studio can be left to her.

Gu Wei just registered the studio a few days ago.

There is no office space now, so the first thing Yang Liwen did when she started working was to find an office space for the company.

She spent a day selecting several office buildings near the college as alternatives according to Gu Wei's instructions.

“These are the venues I have selected that best suit the company’s needs at this stage.

The most suitable one should be the one closest to your school, with the best price-performance ratio. The previous company's decoration is still there, so we can simply do some soft furnishing and start working as soon as possible."

Gu Wei looked at the picture sent

"This is it. It's close to the school and convenient for doing things."

In the next few days, Yang Liwen successively recruited several employees, including Gu Wei's personal assistant, and bought a commercial vehicle in the name of the company as Gu Wei's vehicle.

Then we reached a cooperation intention with a law firm and signed a cooperation agreement.

Although small, it has everything. Soon the structure of [Gu Wei's Personal Film and Television Studio] was set up.

——

More than ten days later, Gu Wei received a call from Lu Yang.

"Gu Wei, I have good news for you. China Film Group has agreed to invest in our film."

Lu Yang's tone was very excited. With China Film Group making up the remaining investment, there would be enough money to make the movie.

"Congratulations, Brother, your hard work has finally paid off."

Gu Wei was also very happy. The sooner the movie was put on the big screen, the sooner he would become famous and get access to other good resources.

"When will the film start shooting?" Gu Wei asked

"The preliminary preparations will probably take more than a month, after all, other characters besides you haven't been decided yet."

Gu Wei asked with a sudden thought

"Brother, have you considered who to cast for the role of the heroine?"

"I had thought of inviting Sugar Man's Liu Shishi before. The movie 'Scarlet Heart' she starred in in the second half of last year was very popular."

Although Gu Wei was very open-minded and not sad about his breakup with Nazha, he was still unhappy about Tang Ren's obstruction.

How can I let the No. 1 Sugar Girl appear in a movie that I invested in myself?

"Liu Shishi is quite suitable, but I saw her previous performances and her eyes looked a bit stiff."

"Brother, do you have any good suggestions?"

Gu Wei said

"Brother, have you ever thought about inviting Liu Yifei?"

Liu Yifei was very popular at this stage, and she gained national popularity with "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and "Chinese Paladin".

Then he plunged into the film market. Although the ratings of several of his recent films were not high, they had good box office results.

"Liu Yifei is certainly suitable, but can she join?"

"Brother, if you ask China Film Group to invite her, it will definitely work."

Now Liu Yifei has been completely banned by Huayi because her mother played tricks on Huayi after "The Forbidden Kingdom", and there are all kinds of negative news about her that are difficult to tell whether they are true or false.

The dramas she is taking on now are basically invested by the Hong Kong circle. If China Film Group extends an olive branch at this time, she and her mother should seize this opportunity.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you. If Liu Yifei can play the role, then our movie's box office will be guaranteed. I believe China Film Group will also support this decision."

"Then I'll wait for your good news, brother."

A good director is not necessarily efficient. Take Wong Kar-wai for example. It took him 13 years to prepare and release "The Grandmaster", and the investors were getting desperate.

Lu Yang is undoubtedly an excellent director, and he is extremely efficient.

On the same day he spoke with Gu Wei, he rushed to China Film Group to discuss the casting of actors.

Then China Film Group invited Liu Yifei to the film. As Gu Wei expected, within a few days, Liu Yifei accepted the role of the female lead.

Then comes the casting of other roles and the early preparations of the crew.

These have little to do with Gu Wei, he is just an actor.

Because of the investment, Gu Wei is not only the protagonist, but also the producer of the film.

Although he, as a producer, has no business whatsoever.

Only occasionally when choosing some roles would Lu Yang ask for his opinion.

Gu Wei still has a deep memory of the original version of [Embroidered Spring Blade], and he will basically give corresponding suggestions based on the original version.

Often the suggestions he gave coincided with Lu Yang's ideas, which made Lu Yang more convinced that Gu Wei was his soulmate.

The producer is a veteran producer assigned by China Film Group, who is experienced and assists Lu Yang in completing the early preparations for the crew.

As for the most important martial arts instructor of the crew, China Film Group helped invite Sang Lin, Director Sang.

Director Sang collaborated with director John Woo on "Red Cliff" (Part 1 and 2) in 2008, and with Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Arnold Schwarzenegger and others on "The Expendables" in 2009. He also collaborated with Ning Hao on "The Golden Heist" last year. He is one of the top martial arts instructors in the industry.

He was able to design the effect he wanted the actors to achieve according to Lu Yang's ideas.
