Chapter 349 If I Give You One Billion
The next morning, Gu Wei got up from the bed and looked at the red hundred-dollar bill in his hand, with a face that was both amusing and embarrassing.
"Miss Mi, where did you get all this cash?"
Yang Mi, who was lying on his side with his head supported by one arm, yawned lazily.
She crossed her legs and showed off her enchanting figure without any care. Her face was rosy and shiny. There was no doubt that she had a good rest last night.
"The red envelope you asked for yesterday was your 'first time' after all. How could I let you down? Of course I had to satisfy you!"
Yang Mi smiled.
"You are insulting my character. That's too much. I was just saying it. How could you do such a thing?"
Gu Wei muttered indignantly and casually put the hundred-dollar bill in his hand into his pocket.
"This is just the first time, it won't happen again!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the bedroom. This was Yang Mi's guest room, and Gu Wei had to go back to his own room to wash up.
Yang Mi looked at Gu Wei who was acting funny in front of him. After he left, he sat up, stretched, and prepared to get up.
In the hotel restaurant, Gu Wei came down early and sat at the side to eat breakfast.
The big boss was having a meal, and the other crew members who came in one after another were tactful enough not to disturb him.
Reba, who had just come downstairs, looked around and saw Gu Wei sitting there alone. Her eyes lit up and she walked over with her breakfast, smiling.
Sit down across the table.
Gu Wei, who was eating with his head down, looked up at her.
Reba wore a dark purple sportswear, which looked thick and warm.
She has her hair tied up in a bun, and she doesn't have any makeup on her face, probably because she has to put on makeup for filming soon. However, youth is the best medical beauty. Her fair face is full of collagen, and she looks full of energy.
"Good morning, Reba!"
"Good morning~"
Reba greeted him happily.
"How was your first day of filming yesterday?"
Gu Wei asked while peeling the boiled egg in his hand.
"It was great. Director Yu has a very gentle personality. She carefully guided us when we had trouble shooting. The shoot went very smoothly."
Reba thought about it and said with a smile.
Gu Wei nodded.
"From the shooting grouping of our drama, it can be seen that your role can be called the heroine who is not the heroine.
Your roles with Gao Wei-bang are no less impressive than those played by your sister and me, so keep up the good work. I have a feeling this drama will be the beginning of your meteoric rise to fame in the entertainment industry."
Gu Wei now has a habit of making promises and giving people chicken soup. I wonder if it is a bad habit he has developed after being a boss for so long.
He used the same words when chatting with employees in his company like Wen Muye, Xiao Yang and others, and he had become very proficient in them.
Of course he was telling the truth, and motivating Reba now would make her more motivated to work.
"Yeah~ I will definitely work hard and won't let you down!"
Reba also knows the importance of her role. She felt touched when she thought about the fact that Gu Wei had assigned her to play the role, and that she must have been under a lot of pressure. At the same time, it also strengthened her determination to work hard.
He looked at Gu Wei with a determined expression, as if he was energized.
If this were in an anime, there would be a flame effect burning behind her.
Gu Wei took a sip of milk and looked at Reba who was suddenly feeling self-admired. He scratched his head, a little confused as to why his random words of encouragement could have such a big effect.
After a while, the two finished their breakfast and prepared to go to the performance. Gu Wei's group A and Reba's group B were not in the same shooting location, so they were about to separate.
"Gu Wei~"
"What's wrong?"
Gu Wei picked up the napkin beside him and wiped his mouth.
Reba hesitated.
"There are a few new movies coming out recently. Can I ask you to go to the movies after the show tonight?"
She was really happy to film with Gu Wei. The only problem was that their characters had almost no scenes together, especially the love scenes that she had been looking forward to for a long time, but there were none at all.
According to the romantic TV dramas that Reba knows, shouldn't the second female lead like the first male lead, the second male lead likes the first female lead, and then the first male lead and the first female lead finally get married?
In their drama "Eternal Love", her character and Gao Wei's character are more like the other two protagonists of a parallel drama, and they have almost no emotional intersection with the characters of Gu Wei and Yang Mi.
On the contrary, Huang Mengying, who plays "Su Jin", and Zhang Binbin, who plays "Li Jing", are given the scripts of the second female and second male characters in ordinary romance dramas, and have deeper emotional entanglements with the male and female protagonists.
Fortunately, although we can't film together, at least we are in the same crew and can often meet each other in the morning and evening. It is also very convenient to make an appointment after work.
“No problem, but there are a lot of night shows lately, so if I go it might be late.
When you want to go, send me a WeChat message in advance and we can make a plan then!"
Gu Wei thought about it and agreed readily.
He met Reba since filming "Gu Jian Qi Tan". The two have always had a good relationship and keep in touch. Eating and watching movies are trivial matters to him. When they have time, they often have dinner together.
"Okay, let's meet on WeChat later!"
Reba looked very happy after getting Gu Wei's promise.
She didn't have any special ideas when she wanted to watch a movie with Gu Wei. She just wanted to build a relationship with him and cultivate feelings.
Although the two had always had a good relationship, after she joined Gu Wei and his crew in filming "Love O2O" at the end of the previous year, she rarely had the opportunity to see Gu Wei alone.
She was quite busy last year, and Gu Wei's schedule was even more packed.
At that time, Gu Wei assigned her to play "Bai Fengjiu". Later, she planned to treat Gu Wei to a meal as a thank you, but she never had the time.
Now that they are finally filming in the same crew, they will have at least two months to spend together. How can she not seize the opportunity to build a relationship with Gu Wei and deepen their feelings?
After all, apart from anything else, Gu Wei is her boss now. It can be said that he holds the power of life and death over her future career. How can Reba not care?
The two of them already have a good relationship, and it would be even better if they could take this opportunity to take it a step further, but even if that's not possible, they'd better remain close friends.
She now has the most resources in Jiaxing Media, second only to Yang Mi, and therefore other young actresses in the company don't treat her well.
After Gu Wei invested in Jiaxing, these girls became restless and how could she not know what they were thinking?
But Reba was not worried at all. She had known Gu Wei for almost three years and had not been able to get into his family. It would be difficult for others to get there overnight.
Besides, there is the huge mountain of Yang Mi blocking their way ahead. It is not easy to just ride on the big boss's coattails.
Reba has now realized that Yang Mi has taken a lot of resources from Gu Wei in the past two years. Just like she taught herself to not talk about feelings so that she can have more benefits, she did so.
From "The Sword Identity 2" which is about to break 1 billion at the box office, to the current fantasy drama "Eternal Love" with an investment of over 100 million, she was able to get them all because of Gu Wei.
Reba didn't believe that Yang Mi would allow other girls in the company to bypass her and directly get close to Gu Wei to get resources from him, not to mention that she was already in the crew.
The filming of "Eternal Love" has been going very smoothly since it started. After a few days, Huang Mengying and Zhang Binbin joined the crew for filming, and all their scenes in "Princess Agents" have been completed.
After the two of them arrived, the crew set up a separate filming crew, Group C, which was led by another executive director, Ren Haitao, to specifically shoot scenes for some supporting roles.
Scenes like "Departure" and "Su Jin" also have many separate shots, which can be shot separately, so that the shooting efficiency of the entire crew can be maximized.
As January slowly passes, the Spring Festival is getting closer.
The promotion of [The Richest Man in Xihong City] is also in full swing.
Under the arrangement of the publicity and distribution company [Guangguang Media], the main creative team of the crew traveled to major cinemas in nearly 20 large and medium-sized cities across the country for more than ten days, held press conferences and fan meetings, and promoted the film.
Now that the movie is getting closer to its release date, some large cinemas where the crews have arrived have also started preview screenings.
With the quality of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", the effect is naturally needless to say. No matter which show it was, the audience in the theater laughed almost non-stop.
The reputation of the movie spread little by little.
In offline cinemas across the country, promotional billboards of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" are placed everywhere. In the whole picture, Chen Teng stands in the middle as the absolute protagonist, and Zhang Tianai stands next to him.
Gu Wei, who made a guest appearance, actually had a significant role.
Moreover, the subtitles at the bottom of the poster are written in large bold letters: [Producer: Gu Wei], followed by the director, leading actor, etc.
Of course, it's all for publicity.
Although Chen Teng became very popular this year because of "Charlotte's Troubles", his fame is not on the same level as Gu Wei.
The same goes for Zhang Tianai. Her role as a female fighter in the still-released film "Assassin 2" has been liked by more audiences, but even her own fans probably wouldn't believe how high her box office appeal is.
Fortunately, Gu Wei is an investor and a big boss, so it doesn’t matter how much he is tied up for hype.
Moreover, since the promotion of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" began, Gu Wei's personal official Weibo has been recommending this movie to his own fans.
Every few days a new movie trailer or poster is released.
Fans also learned that Gu Wei served as the producer and made a guest appearance in this comedy film, and some fans became interested in the movie.
At the end of January, the two movies "Mojin: The Lost Tomb" and "Old Cannon" were taken off the theaters one after another.
"Mojin: The Lost Tomb" finally grossed 1.66 billion yuan in box office revenue 30 days after its release, pushing "Lost in Hong Kong" with 1.613 billion yuan out of the top three, and becoming the third place among Chinese-language films, only behind "Monster Hunt" with 2.67 billion yuan and "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" with 1.758 billion yuan.
At the same time, it also became the highest-grossing movie during this year's Lunar New Year holiday.
Director Wu Ershan's two consecutive fantasy films were big hits, making him very popular in the circle and sought after by many film and television companies.
"Old Cannon", which was released a little later than "The Mojin", finally achieved a box office revenue of 902 million yuan.
Although the box office did not exceed 1 billion, the producers, director and actors were all very satisfied with the result.
After all, this is just a feature film. Although there are many big-name actors in it and it is starred by the top director Feng Xiaogang, to be honest, "Old Cannon" is really not very watchable and feels a bit like an art film.
The fact that the film achieved such a high box office was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
The producers have made a fortune.
What is somewhat dramatic is that as of this year, none of the films directed by Director Feng has surpassed the box office of "Old Cannon". He has been a director for more than 20 years, but he found that the audience likes him more as an actor.
After four weeks of release, "The Assassin 2" has grossed 1.034 billion yuan, and the daily box office has dropped to less than two million yuan. It is estimated that it will be withdrawn from theaters in the next few days.
This year's Lunar New Year box office is gradually coming to an end, with "Mojin: The Lost Tomb" taking the lead, followed by "The Assassin 2" and "Old Cannon".
"Star Wars: The Force Awakens", which was released on the 9th, started strong but ended poorly. Its box office continued to decline in the two weeks since its release, and it only earned more than 800 million yuan, which is not in line with its total box office performance of over 13 billion yuan in other countries around the world.
All I can say is that the "Star Wars" series is ultimately a major Western IP, and Chinese people are not sensitive to it.
No. 25.
Gu Wei’s personal official Weibo posted a message.
#If you were given 1 billion, how would you spend it? #
Subsequently, a prize-giving reply activity was announced. All replies to this message were ranked according to the number of likes, and the top 100 people would each receive a latest Huawei mobile phone and two movie tickets for "The Richest Man in Xihong City".
From 101st to 1000th place, two movie tickets each.
The activity has been communicated with Weibo officials, and they will monitor it in the background to avoid the possibility of like manipulation.
Of course, the rewards for this event are not exaggerated. A Huawei mobile phone costs about 4,000 yuan, and the total cost of the entire event, including the organization and labor, does not exceed 1 million yuan.
However, the effect of the event was surprisingly good. Gu Wei's fans replied to messages on his official Weibo account, and the number of visits to Gu Wei's Weibo account skyrocketed.
Fortunately, they had already communicated with Weibo officials, otherwise it is possible that the influx of traffic would paralyze Weibo.
#If you were given 1 billion, how would you spend it? #
This topic gradually spread from the Internet and became one of the hotly discussed topics among netizens.
The popularity of the movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City" has also expanded a lot thanks to this favorable trend.
"Gu Wei, hurry up and give my reply a like!"
After finishing a scene that day, the two were sitting down to rest. Yang Mi was playing with his mobile phone with a smile on his face, and suddenly said to Gu Wei.
Gu Wei leaned over to take a look at Yang Mi's phone and smiled bitterly.
"Sister Mi, why are you joining in the fun? What kind of phone can't you buy?"
Yang Mi also responded to the message on Gu Wei's official Weibo account, but of course she used the small account [Secret that cannot be revealed].
Nowadays, every celebrity has 5 or 6 secondary accounts. Everyone is an average 5G surfer.
"Ah, the important thing is participation. What if my reply is in the top 100? Wouldn't that be nice to get a phone?"
"Miss Mi, what kind of phone do you want? I'll buy it for you."
"No, please give me a thumbs up!"
There was no choice, Gu Wei shook his head and logged into his own account.
His main account has been managed by his team recently, including publicity and this event, which are all handled by company employees far away in Beijing. He doesn't have time to do so as he is filming every day.
Found Yang Mi's reply
"If I had a billion, I would ask Zhang Yimou to be the director, Gu Wei and Yang Mi to be the male and female protagonists, and shoot a super-budget movie!"
There are already dozens of likes and replies from some netizens.
"A billion to make a movie, you're crazy!"
"Judging from your name, you should be a fan of Yang Mi. It's okay to think about it, but it's not good to dream about it."
"Would Zhang Yimou be impressed by Yang Mi's acting skills? Of course, if it's just about spending money, that's another matter."
The funny netizen was so cheerful that even Gu Wei laughed at his replies.
"Are you ready?"
Yang Mi urged.
"Okay, okay, Sister Mi, I've successfully liked your post."
Gu Wei said.
