Chapter 237 Who is the Maid
At dawn, Gu Wei woke up from his messy bed, moved the big white legs that were pressing on him away, and carefully turned over and got out of bed.
Da Mimi was still sleeping soundly on the bed, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, her fair and delicate skin, beautiful and attractive face, and a few hairs scattered on her face, giving her a feeling of sleeping beauty.
However, the Sleeping Beauty in the fairy tale definitely does not have such sufficient capital, and Gu Wei feels this deeply.
Various clothes were scattered on the bedroom floor, which showed how fierce the battle was last night.
The last time the two met was at the premiere of Huang Xiaoming's movie "The Fortune is Best When a Woman Acts Like a Coquettish Person," which was more than two months ago.
If there is anything in the meantime, we just call or send WeChat to contact each other.
Last night, Da Mimi was obviously a little excited and unusually proactive.
But it was of no use, she just forgot the shadow of being suppressed by Gu Wei.
Looking at the somewhat tattered white shirt in his hand, Gu Wei scratched his head.
Then he called his assistant and asked her to bring him a set of clothes and buy him breakfast.
Gu Wei had never lived in the house on the top floor since he bought it. Although it was fully furnished and ready for move-in, there were no clothes in it.
When Yang Mi walked out of the bedroom yawning, Gu Wei was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast in a brown casual suit.
"Soy milk or soy juice, which one do you want?"
Gu Wei asked.
"Soy milk~"
Yang Mi is a native of Beijing, and the soy milk that outsiders find unbearable is a delicacy in her eyes.
Gu Wei was not surprised. He handed her a glass of soy milk and then pointed to two plates of buns on the table.
"This one is stuffed with beef, and the other one is stuffed with pork."
"Are you busy today?"
Yang Mi picked up his chopsticks and started eating breakfast.
"Why, Sister Mi, do you still want to date me today?"
"Is it not possible?"
Gu Wei smiled.
"I don't have any objection. I have some things to do at the company during the day, and I'll be fine after I'm done with them.
But I’m afraid you don’t have time today.”
"I?"
"Yes, have you forgotten that today is the Lantern Festival? Don't you need to stay at home with your uncle and aunt?"
"It's already the fifteenth today~"
Yang Mi suddenly realized and said nothing more.
Her parents' home is in another building in the community. Since she is in Beijing, she has no reason not to go home for the Lantern Festival.
"Then when will you fly to Taierzhuang Ancient City?"
"Director Lu Yang is going to leave with the cast and crew tomorrow. I still have some work to do in Beijing, so I probably won't leave until the day after tomorrow.
What about you? Are you going with the crew?"
Yang Mi took a bite of the bun and thought about it.
"I'll go with you, call me when you leave.
Anyway, my character doesn't have many fighting scenes, so I don't need to train like you guys."
"no problem"
In the morning, after leaving Yang Mi's house, Gu Wei's nanny car drove directly from Jinmao Mansion to the downstairs of the company.
After returning to the company, Gu Wei called the executives to a meeting in the conference room. He was about to join the team and many things had to be dealt with first.
"Boss Zhao, has the script for [The Richest Man in Xihong City] been completed?"
"The first draft has been completed, but there are still some details that the two directors are not satisfied with, so it is still being revised."
As he spoke, Zhao Mingcheng handed a notebook to Gu Wei.
I took it and flipped through it. The main plot is similar to the original, which is still the story of a man who accidentally gets an inheritance and plans how to spend the money.
"Boss, the male lead of this play, Chen Teng, has already signed a contract with us. Do you have any instructions for the other actors?"
"The female lead is Zhang Tianai from our company, and the director can choose the other roles. If any of our actors are suitable, they can also audition."
Gu Wei thought about it and realized that most of the actors under his management were handsome men and beautiful women, and it seemed that none of them could act in comedy.
The only one, Peng Yuchang, did not have a suitable role in this movie because he was too young.
"What's the current situation with [Love O2O]?"
"We have already communicated with some of the top local satellite TV stations, such as Mango TV, Lychee TV, and Blueberry TV. Everyone is very interested in this new drama starring you, boss.
Now all parties are in the quotation stage and are in talks.
It seems Blueberry TV is more sincere now, and their offer is the highest among all the TV stations, and they want to buy the exclusive broadcasting rights."
"Oh? Both of my dramas from last year were bought by Mango TV, and they performed so well. How come Blueberry TV is outbid now? Mango TV has always been very wealthy."
Gu Wei was a little curious. Logically speaking, their previous cooperation had always been pleasant, so there was no reason for them to give up this year.
Zhao Mingcheng hesitated for a moment.
"Director Zhao, who previously worked in Mango TV's film purchasing department, was promoted to deputy director this year and is now in charge of the TV station's variety show affairs.
I heard that Director Zhao was very optimistic about you, boss, and it was she who insisted on buying "Shan Shan is Coming".
The newly appointed Director Tian is more steady. Although "Love O2O" is starred by you, boss, after all, the production company is ours, not the old TV drama companies like Huanrui and Juku, so Mango TV did not raise the price higher.
Although we produced two phenomenal web series last year, neither of them were broadcast on satellite TV, so it’s normal for TV stations to have some concerns.”
“Is that so~
It doesn’t matter. We are the production company of the TV series. As long as the money is enough, we will sell it to anyone.
As long as the broadcasting platform is not too bad, I believe that with the quality of our TV series, it will definitely achieve good results."
Gu Wei said indifferently that he had no filter towards Mango TV. As long as the money was enough, it would be the same to cooperate with anyone.
Moreover, although Blueberry Channel suffered a crushing defeat in TV dramas last year, it has made a comeback in variety shows with the popularity of "Running Man", and can be said to be on par with Mango Channel.
"Compared to the competition among several TV stations, our TV series are more attractive to video platforms. Several video websites such as Tencent and Youku have very generous offers, and due to the competition among them, they are gradually increasing their offers."
Gu Wei nodded. This situation did not surprise him. [Wei Ming Tian Xia] started out by making web dramas, and its previous achievements were in this area. Naturally, the video platform was more optimistic about it.
"How's the preparation for [Detective Chinatown 2] going?"
"We have already communicated with the agents of Wang Baoqiang and Xiao Yang. They are coordinating their schedules and will sign the contract in the near future.
Liu Yifei's contract has already been signed."
After finishing the report, Zhao Mingcheng hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Boss, it looks like the filming schedule for [The Richest Man in Xihong City] and [Detective Chinatown 2] will overlap.
Moreover, "Detective Chinatown 2" will be filmed overseas, and my energy is limited, so it is difficult to take care of both."
The web drama shot by Gu Wei Company last year was produced by Zhao Mingcheng.
He is a veteran in the circle and is very good at this, so he has always done well.
In fact, generally speaking, there are two types of producers in the industry. One type is like Chen Zhixi and Zhao Mingcheng, who are responsible for everything from early script coordination, crew formation, and filming cost accounting to the execution of filming production and post-production.
They are indispensable roles in the crew. It can be said that the director is in charge of the filming work in the crew, and they are also in charge of matters outside of filming.
A good producer can help the director complete the filming of a film or TV series to the greatest extent.
Another type is like Gu Wei who served as the producer of "The Return of the Great Sage". Because he is an investor, he is just a name on the list.
"Do you have any good suggestions?"
Gu Wei asked.
What Zhao Mingcheng was talking about was also a current problem of his company. As the company grew and developed, the number of films scheduled each year was also increasing. It was obvious that Zhao Mingcheng alone could not handle it.
He had tried to recruit Chen Zhixi before, but unfortunately Chen Zhixi only wanted to work on his own and looked down on Gu Wei's small sect.
"Detective Chinatown 2 is being filmed in the United States, and there are still several months before filming begins. It would be best if we could hire a producer with experience in Hollywood filming.
I can also handle the domestic preparations."
"Okay, go ahead and find a headhunter. The sooner the better."
Just as Gu Wei was working diligently in the company, reports about yesterday's launch conference of "Assassin's Blade 2" also came out on the Internet.
Major online media outlets such as Tencent News, NetEase Entertainment, and Sogou Entertainment reported on the press conference specifically.
After all, "The Blade of the Assassin" is known as the masterpiece of the revival of martial arts, and it can be regarded as an absolute big IP. Many audiences who like martial arts movies have been looking forward to the release of the second part.
In addition, Gu Wei has become very popular in the past two years and has a large fan base, so a new movie naturally attracted countless attention.
The crew held a start-up ceremony, and the most discussed topic on the Internet was that Yang Mi replaced Liu Yifei as the new female lead of the movie.
I'm a huge fan of martial arts movies. Two years ago, "Blade of the Assassin" really impressed me, and I've been looking forward to the sequel. Now, my wish has finally come true!
[After seeing the pictures from the press conference and the anime posters released by the crew, they're so cool! It's definitely continuing the dark martial arts style of the first film. I'm looking forward to it!]
Although I believe in Director Lu Yang's talent and have a great fondness for Gu Wei's portrayal of Chen Lian, I'm still worried about choosing Yang Mi as the female lead. I'm not sure if Director Lu Yang can polish her acting skills. After all, Yang Mi has been in so many bad movies before, so I don't have high hopes for her acting skills!
[Why replace Liu Yifei? I am a beautiful goddess, and I am just Yang Mi's maid holding an umbrella. I strongly request the director to restore the heroine of the first part! ! ]
[The haters above, get lost! My Da Mi Mi is absolutely gorgeous! ]
[This is the second time the "Gu Jian couple" have collaborated, and it's on the big screen, also in a costume drama. I'll definitely be going to the cinema to support it!]
[I'm so touched! My Mimi finally has access to good movie resources, no more crappy movies like 'Far Cry,' 'The Great Wudang,' or 'Tiny Times.' Come on, Mimi, you can do it. 'Bees' will always be your steadfast support!]
【.】
In general, Yang Mi's participation has indeed attracted more people's attention to the movie, but there are also many viewers who have doubts about her acting skills and think that she will drag down the quality of the movie.
After all, it is easy to act in a bad movie, but once an inherent impression is formed in the audience's mind, it is difficult to change it.
In the afternoon, Yang Mi was lying on the sofa at home in a light yellow home suit, browsing her mobile phone, mainly to read some comments from netizens after the press conference of "The Sword of Assassins 2".
I like comments that support me, and quickly swipe away those that criticize my acting skills. Occasionally, if I get angry, I will reply with a few words.
Of course, she used a small account. It is the most basic operation for celebrities to use small accounts when surfing the Internet.
The comments online about her joining the movie, besides concerns about her acting skills, are comparisons with Liu Yifei in the first film.
When Yang Mi first entered the circle, she worked with Liu Yifei on "The Return of the Condor Heroes". They were young at that time and could be considered friends.
Later, when I started my own career, we gradually stopped contacting each other due to various reasons such as interests, fame, and resources.
All I can say is that Yang Mi is a career-oriented person. As she is of the same age as Liu Yifei, she finds it hard to stand being seen as inferior to Liu Yifei in the eyes of others.
From the time when Liu Yifei filmed "Chinese Paladin 1", she took on "Chinese Paladin 3", and now she is going to film the second part of "Assassin Spring Blade", in addition to the fact that it is indeed a good resource, she has also been holding her breath to prove her idea.
"She, Yang Mi, is a princess and a queen, not some maid holding an umbrella!"
"Mimi, it's time to eat~"
Mom's voice came from the kitchen.
Today is a holiday, and Yang Mi came to his parents' house in the afternoon. They live in the same community and are just a few steps away.
"Here I come~"
