Chapter 54 Return to Beijing
In the evening, Gu Wei and his family watched the Spring Festival Gala together on the sofa in the living room.
The 2013 Spring Festival Gala was quite interesting.
At that time, Li Yong was still in good health and was still the absolute main force of the Spring Festival Gala hosting team.
Nothing happened to Zhu Jun and Lao Bi. One is on Art Life and the other is on Star Avenue, and they are loved by audiences across the country.
Xiao Sa is still the real "Xiao" Sa, and is still a relatively young face in this hosting team.
This year's Spring Festival Gala is very interesting.
Cao Yunjin, who had already defected from his master, performed on the same stage with his master Guo Degang, one after the other.
Both of them are crosstalk performers, Cao Yunjin and Liu Tianyun collaborated on [It’s Not My Fault].
Guo Degang and Yu Qian performed "The Prodigal Son".
I don't know if these two questions were intentional.
Wang Lihong sang the opening song "The Twelve Zodiac Signs" before he left the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala.
Chen Teng was still a professional sketch actor at this time. This was his second time on the Spring Festival Gala, and he was slowly becoming known to audiences across the country.
The sketch king Zhao Benshan officially announced his retirement from the Spring Festival Gala stage. He was replaced by Feng Gong, Guo Donglin and Yan Xuejing in the finale performance of the sketch "Lending a Hand Is Not Alone", which was performed after midnight. Unfortunately, the audience did not buy it.
After staying up until 12 o'clock in the evening, Gu Wei's family had another meal, eating dumplings.
There is a pot of dumplings, one of which contains a coin. According to tradition, whoever eats the coin will have smooth sailing and good luck in the new year.
As a result, just as he had eaten the third dumpling, the coin was eaten by Gu Wei.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu were very happy to see it, even happier than if they had eaten it themselves.
In the next few days, Gu Wei accompanied his parents to attend dinners with relatives and gatherings with friends.
Gu Wei served as their tool for showing off throughout the whole process.
Last year was the year of Gu Wei's rise. He made his first fortune, started a company, and invested in his first film, which was a box office hit. He made money and became famous.
This year will also be a busy year. First of all, the filming of a movie that I will direct and star in will start. Being a director is different from being an actor. A director has to consider so many more things than an actor.
However, when a film becomes a success, the director's rewards are far greater than those of an actor. Gu Wei is also looking forward to his first film as a director.
"Mom and Dad, you two should go back. I need to go through security."
At the airport, Gu Wei said goodbye to his parents at the security checkpoint while dragging his suitcase.
In the end, his parents did not go with him. Gu Wei left early because he did have a job waiting for him in Beijing.
There are still some things at home waiting for my parents to deal with, so I will fly to Beijing to see him in a few days.
In the first class cabin, Gu Wei took out the script and looked at it carefully, while thinking in his mind how he should play the role of the protagonist "Qin Feng".
Although he had a ready-made template in his mind for reference, Gu Wei still wanted to perform better if possible.
Moreover, as a director, Gu Wei will have a lot of things to manage on the set, and he probably won't have time to hone his acting skills.
He looked intently at his own panel.
Constitution: 79
Appearance: 86
Skills: Acting [Proficient] English [Proficient] Music [Proficient]
Experience: 658924
Whether it is a skill or an attribute, a minimum of 1 million experience points is required to add it.
It seems that this house must be bought as soon as possible, and the improvement of acting skills is imminent.
After more than 2 hours, the plane landed at Beijing Airport.
Master Zhang was already waiting at the VIP entrance. After getting in the car, Gu Wei first went back to the hotel to put his luggage, and then came to the company without stopping.
"Sister Yang, please help me collect some data. What are the new real estate projects developed by large companies in good locations in Beijing with unit prices below 50 million yuan? Flats or villas are fine. Once you have them, bring them to me."
"Okay. By the way, Mr. Gu, you asked me to recruit the general manager of [Weiming World] before. The headhunter recommended a suitable candidate. When you have time, please interview him."
You go make an appointment with the headhunter. I'm free in the next two days, the sooner the better.
"I understand, Mr. Gu."
In fact, Chen Zhixi is a very suitable person to be the general manager of Gu Wei Film and Television Company. After all, she is an excellent producer herself, so it is not difficult for her to manage a film and television company.
Unfortunately, Gu Wei had mentioned this to her indirectly before, but she had rejected it without hesitation. She could consider collaborating on a film, but forget about working for you.
First, Chen Zhixi is the kind of person who is both capable and ambitious, and will not easily be content to be inferior to others. Second, Gu Wei's temple is too small to accommodate a big Buddha like her.
The headhunter was very efficient and the applicant was invited to Gu Wei's company the next morning.
The man who came was a middle-aged man, thin, with a tough face, short hair, and a clean-shaven beard. He was wearing a black suit and looked very clean and tidy, without any of the greasy look that middle-aged men often have.
"Hello, I'm Gu Wei, the boss of Weiming Tianxia Film and Television Company."
As soon as they met, Gu Wei greeted them first.
"Hello, Mr. Gu, my name is Zhao Mingcheng, and I'm here to apply for the position of general manager of our company."
The two shook hands, sat down, and Zhao Mingcheng said with a smile.
"I've read your resume and I'm very satisfied with it.
I just have a question: you once ran a film and television production company and produced several TV series that were broadcast on satellite channels, but why did the company go bankrupt later?
Gu Wei asked doubtfully.
Zhao Mingcheng smiled bitterly
"The reason is actually very simple. After years of working in the industry, I have established good relationships with the film purchasing departments of several TV stations.
Although the small company I originally ran didn't have much capacity, we could produce some anti-Japanese dramas and sell them to TV stations, which could make some money.
Later, the quality of TV dramas continued to decline, and the few dramas that were sold had no ratings, so TV stations stopped purchasing them.
I gambled everything I had on getting into the film industry and used all my money to make a movie, but it ended up not being released. I lost all my money and the company went bankrupt.
I found that I was okay at managing a company, but I really didn’t have the talent for making movies and TV series.”
Zhao Mingcheng spoke very sincerely. His resume was very clear, and it clearly stated what TV series he filmed in which year. It was very easy to check these.
Gu Wei then asked him a few more questions, including those about company management, staff recruitment, crew establishment, and post-production film sales.
He answered in an orderly manner.
Then Gu Wei communicated with him about the issue of salary for a while.
"Mr. Zhao, you have passed the interview today. If you have time, I hope to complete the employment procedures as soon as possible."
"No problem, Mr. Gu." Zhao Mingcheng was also very happy. Gu Wei told him about the company's personnel structure and even the current projects.
He felt it was just a film and television company with great potential.
"Mr. Zhao, I should call you Mr. Zhao now. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
"Mr. Gu will need your care in the future!"
