To be honest, Gu Wei was a little confused when he first got the news.

After all, he has lived two lives, and this is the first time he becomes a father.

However, if you think about it carefully, Nazha's pregnancy is a good thing in every way.

Gu Wei, who was born in 1992, is 31 years old this year. It is not too early for him to have his first child.

Moreover, Nazha is his first love in this life. From the campus of Beijing Film Academy to now for more than 10 years, they have been inseparable.

As for marriage, Gu Wei also considered it, but finally decided to maintain the status quo.

There is no way. After all, we can't just consider Nazha and make more people sad.

And he wasn't sure if someone else would get pregnant with his child in the future.

This is a high probability event.

No matter how independent a career woman is, she will consider the issue of fertility when she reaches a certain age. If she does not want to end her relationship with Gu Wei, then it is obvious who she should have the child with.

It is impossible for Gu Wei to marry Nazha now and then divorce her when she becomes pregnant.

Just keep the current relationship and status.

With his wealth and status, even without that piece of paper, he can still give the best protection to the women who follow him.

Gu Wei is a scumbag, he has never denied it.

Regardless of his external personality or his friends and female friends around him, everyone knows what kind of person he is.

Even so, there are still people who keep coming up to me and are unwilling to end this abnormal relationship.

There are many reasons for this.

Money, status, fame, benefits, appearance, figure, etc., and there are also some invisible and difficult to talk about benefits, such as physical and mental pleasure and maintaining youth.

However, no matter what the reason is, girls will definitely get more than they give from Gu Wei.

This is also the reason why everyone can maintain a tacit understanding for a long time.

The so-called love, admiration, passion and impulse driven by hormones cannot last long, especially in such an unequal relationship.

Only mutual interests and ties are the key to maintaining it.

Gu Wei himself is not without love. To be a bit mean, he is sincere when facing anyone alone.

Of course, part of this feeling stems from his lust, and part of it is carried over from the drama during filming.

It is normal to immerse yourself in acting, to act in a romantic drama and to have a love affair.

Therefore, there is no way for him to change his previous style just because of Nazha's pregnancy, and turn from a playboy into a good family man, and return to the family to take care of his wife and children. This is unrealistic.

After resting for a few days in Beijing and with her private health team in place, Nazha started working as usual.

Of course, the intensity is much smaller than before.

You know, Nazha has never been very career-oriented. Her original work schedule was very easy, and now it is even less after the adjustment.

She chose France as the place to nurture and give birth, and it will go away when her pregnancy starts to show in a few months.

Gu Wei has a wine estate there - Unico Castle, which covers a large area and has beautiful scenery. In addition to the castle villa, there are also tennis courts and swimming pools for exercise and relaxation.

When you are bored, you can go horseback riding and camping in the 5-hectare estate.

She has a whole team of staff serving her, including housekeepers, chefs, cleaners, security guards, etc.

Her health team will also follow.

When the time comes, I will bring her parents and sister over, and I believe she won’t be lonely.

In the past few days since returning to Beijing, Gu Wei's schedule has basically been busy at the company during the day and going back to accompany Nazha at night.

As the scale of his companies grows, even with professional managers to manage daily affairs, there are more and more things that Gu Wei needs to worry about.

".From now on, you don't need to show me these film and television drama invitations. The company can just reject them directly."

In the office, Gu Wei looked at the many scripts sent over and gave instructions.

He has decided to gradually reduce the filming of film and television dramas in the future and try to shift more energy to the operation of the company.

Of course, sequels to IPs that are indispensable to him, such as "The Wandering Earth", "Joy of Life", and "Detective Chinatown", must be filmed.

Yang Liwen understood what her boss meant and waved her hand to ask her assistant to take away a thick stack of scripts.

"After returning from Hainan, Director Cui Rui started the post-production of "Her" and I discussed with Director Cui and the editing teacher that the post-production of the film would take about 2 to 3 months.

In this way, "She Was Vanished" will be able to catch up with this year's summer movie season.

There is just one problem. Boss, your film "Extraction" has been scheduled to be released during the summer of this year. The time has been confirmed with Lionsgate and it will be released simultaneously around the world.

If "Gone Girl" is postponed to the summer, the release of two films starring you at the same time may affect the box office."

At present, the two most popular periods in the domestic film market are the summer vacation and the Spring Festival.

The movies starring Gu Wei are undoubtedly the best in the domestic entertainment industry in terms of box office potential. If they are not released during these two periods, they will still sell well, but the box office ceiling will most likely be lowered.

For example, if the first part of "The Wandering Earth" had been released during the May Day or National Day holiday, it would have earned at most 20 to 30 billion yuan at the box office, and would definitely not have reached 5 billion yuan.

Gu Wei thought about it for a moment and said: "Don't worry about [Her Disappearance], we can arrange it for next year's Spring Festival.

This year's summer season is the stage for "Extreme Rescue".

I believe the performance of this film will definitely surprise everyone!"

He remembered that the box office champion of the 24th Spring Festival seemed to be "Hot as Hell". He had no opinion on Jia Ling, but it was not very convincing that a mediocre weight loss film could get a box office of more than 3 billion.

There will be no suspense in the competition between [Gone Girl] and [Hot as Hell].

As for weight loss marketing, with Gu Wei's fame and number of fans, he doesn't think any marketing can surpass his own publicity.

What's more, he has the resources of theaters in his hands, which makes this an unfair competition.

Compared to "Gone Girl" which will be released in a year, he is more concerned about "Exodus" which will be released in the summer vacation a few months later.

This movie has a different meaning for Gu Wei and even the "Wei Ming World".

Last summer, Lionsgate's John Wick 4 grossed $1.1 billion worldwide.

As one of the two male protagonists, Gu Wei not only gained a certain degree of fame worldwide, but also became a top international star sought after by Hollywood.

Many Hollywood film companies offered him a top salary of $20 million plus box office share to star in movies.

However, because there was no suitable script, Gu Wei rejected them all.

Don’t think it’s an exaggeration that Gu Wei became a top Hollywood star just by having a hit movie.

You should know that the box office of the first three "John Wick" films were 70 million, 170 million and 320 million respectively, and none of them were released in mainland China.

With the addition of Gu Wei, the fourth film's global box office soared to $1.1 billion, and the mainland box office reached an exaggerated $500 million.

When asked about Keanu Reeves' box office appeal in the country, Hollywood doesn't believe it.

So Gu Wei alone brought more than $500 million in box office revenue to "John Wick 4".

In the eyes of Hollywood film companies, Gu Wei is exactly like the ancient Greek god of wealth, someone who can make a lot of money by cooperating with them.

He has received countless scripts from Hollywood companies this year.

Not to mention the less famous ones, there are big productions such as the "Fast and Furious" series, and "Universal Pictures" hopes that he will join the family and work with the bald Vin Diesel.

[Red One: Winter Operation], teaming up with Dwayne Johnson and Captain America Chris Evans.

And "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle", still working with Dwayne Johnson.

Although Gu Wei didn't know how his yellow face would be included in these movies, Hollywood assured him that as long as he agreed, he would definitely be the protagonist, or at the very least, one of the protagonists like in "John Wick 4".

The essence of Hollywood is just a group of businessmen who make money from the film and television industry. They will actively take advantage of anyone who can bring them benefits.

Gu Wei was not dazzled by Hollywood's attentions. He knew his own foundation and was not in a hurry to take on any movie.

What he is most looking forward to at the moment is "Extraction", a movie produced by his own company, which will be released simultaneously around the world.

This is not just a movie. If it becomes a global box office hit, it can be made into a series like "Taken".

Then this IP will become a real gold mine.

Gu Wei's global fame will also be further spread through the film. In the future, he even hopes to surpass Jackie Chan and become a truly top international superstar who can influence a generation!

In the office, Yang Liwen reported to Gu Wei about her work, then looked down at her watch and said, "Boss, it's almost time for the meeting."

Gu Wei nodded, and the two of them walked towards the company's conference room with their secretary and assistant.

"Mr. Gu~

Mr. Yang~"

The supervisors and managers of other departments had already arrived in the conference room. Gu Wei sat down in the main seat and started today's company meeting.

The main content of today's meeting is to discuss the various projects that the company will promote this year.

Among the TV series, there is "Lotus Tower" which is about to start filming and "Joy of Life 3" in the second half of the year. Both of these are projects that the company is the main producer of.

In terms of movies, there is the recently completed "Gone Girl", "Exodus" which will be released in the summer, and the planned "The Love Master 3" and "The Accidental 3".

And the most important one is the fourth part of "Detective Chinatown".

However, whether these three films can be shot this year remains a question.

“.I have read the scripts of [The Love Master 3] and [The Accidental Murder 3], and there are basically no problems with them.

The next step is to decide on the right director.

The director can make further changes if required in the later stage.

As for the filming team, location, actors, etc., we still need to decide on them after the director has made his decision.”

After Gu Wei finished speaking, Zhao Mingcheng, who was sitting first on his right, opened his mouth and said, "These two series were originally directed by Wen Muye, but he probably won't take them anymore now."

“I know, I’ve talked to Director Wen, don’t consider him.

Cui Rui is currently working on the post-production of "Her Disappearance".

I actually want him to continue filming the third part of "The Accidental Murder".

I'll talk to him again when he's less busy.

【Love Saint 3】Do you have any recommendations for candidates? "

[Wei Ming Tian Xia] currently has three well-known directors under its umbrella: Wen Muye, Rao Xiaozhi, and Cui Rui.

Wen Mu will no longer direct these two series. Rao Xiaozhi's style does not fit the bill, and Cui Rui has been assigned to "The Accidental Murderer 3", so "The Love Master 3" will most likely be directed by someone outside.

"There are many directors in China who are good at comedy films, such as Yan Fei, Peng Damo, Tian Yusheng of the "Ex-Files" series, and Dong Runnian and Song Xiaofei, who switched careers from screenwriters to photographers."

The domestic entertainment circle is not big, but director Zhao Mingcheng, who is good at comedy films, knows it all.

He didn't mention Feng Xiaogang, Xu Zheng, Ning Hao and others because they are too big names.

"Love in the City" is a dish from "Wei Ming Tian Xia". The IP is already mature, and it would cost too much for them to use it. In addition to the director's salary, they would probably have to share the profits, which is not in the interests of "Wei Ming Tian Xia".

Gu Wei thought about it.

He basically knows all the people mentioned, including Yan Fei, Peng Damo, and Tian Yusheng. Dong Runnian was previously Ning Hao's screenwriter, and he was one of the screenwriters of "Lost in Thailand" and "Crazy Alien".

He was there when we had dinner with Ning Hao and the others while filming "The Wandering Earth".

Song Xiaofei is a well-known photographer in the industry. He was the photographer for films like "The Grandmaster", "Lost in Hong Kong" and "Heart Flower Road".

All I can say is that the ultimate dream of these positions in the crew is to become a director.

"I remember Dong Runnian was filming a comedy with Dapeng?"

Yang Liwen: “Yes, I have sent you an invitation before, saying [The annual meeting cannot be stopped!].

It is a joint production of China Film Group, Maoyan, and Tao Piaopiao."

“Okay, you can try to contact these people, including Dapeng, to see if there is anyone interested.

If it's done, we can discuss the next step."

The others are easy to deal with, except for "Detective Chinatown 4", which still has no result in the end.

After the first three films, the [Detective Chinatown] series has become the largest IP in the domestic entertainment industry. Both the audience and other producers are waiting for the filming of the fourth film.

Gu Wei is also aware of this. Every time Wang Changtian from Guangguang calls him, no matter what they are talking about, he will mention "Detective Chinatown 4" at the end.

Unfortunately, he was never satisfied with the script given by the screenwriting department. In addition, he did not have time to shoot this movie this year, so he simply continued to revise the script and postpone the start of shooting.

At the end of the meeting, Yang Liwen remembered something: "Boss, the film [Octagon Cage] directed by Teacher Baoqiang was completed at the beginning of the year.

We invested in this movie and the distribution rights also belong to our company.

Mr. Baoqiang wants to have "Octagon Cage" released in the summer of this year."

[Octagon Cage] is a film that Wang Baoqiang started preparing for a long time and was completed last year.

At that time, Baoqiang was short of funds due to the failure of "Journey to India" and the loss of 2.8 billion guaranteed for "Crazy Alien", and Gu Wei made up the investment for him without hesitation.

[In the Octagon] The cost was 150 million yuan, and Gu Wei invested 50 million yuan.

So the distribution of the film was naturally handed over to his good brother Gu Wei.

“The summer season is fine, but it has to be released at a different time than ‘Extraction’ to avoid the two films competing with each other.

In addition, Wanda Films will also be involved in distribution.

This makes the film arrangement tilted and reasonable.”

"I understand." (End of chapter)
