Chapter 76 Signing a Contract (Seeking First Order)
In the morning, Gu Wei's excellent physical condition allows him to have a punctual biological clock.
As it turned out, Gu Wei did what he promised.
Gu Wei is no longer the same person he used to be, and she is still the same little scumbag.
A moment of carelessness will eventually lead to complete failure.
He is still young, and what is commendable is that he has strong willpower and is able to persevere.
Nazha, exhausted, was still sleeping soundly.
Gu Wei got up, washed up, and made himself a simple breakfast.
He called his personal assistant Yang Dan, a girl in her early 20s. She usually didn't have much presence, but she could always handle some things in Gu Wei's life very well.
Tell her to bring a hearty lunch to her house at noon.
Gu Wei estimated that Nazha would not wake up until noon at the earliest, so he did not leave any breakfast for her.
After breakfast, he took a car to the company to continue the post-production of the film. For Gu Wei, this was the most important thing he needed to accomplish in the recent period of time.
In the afternoon, after working for half a day, Gu Wei received a call from Nazha.
“*@#￥.”
As soon as the call was connected, Nazha greeted me.
"Have you taken medicine?" Nazha questioned.
Gu Wei said helplessly
"We've been together for so long, don't you know what I am like?
It may be because I have been working out recently, and my figure and physical strength are better than before."
On the other end of the phone, Nazha recalled Gu Wei's muscular chest and his eight well-defined abdominal muscles, and her face began to blush again.
"Maybe," she murmured.
"Are you still at home? I will come to see you after get off work in the evening." Gu Wei asked.
"No! Not here! I've already left!" Nazha refused three times in a row. If you keep tossing and turning all night, I'll go to the hospital.
"My company is looking for me to join the crew for filming."
"Okay then, remember to tell me when you return to Beijing."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Wei looked at the movie he was editing and thought about it.
'Without women in my mind, I will be able to draw my sword with all my might. Work is the most important thing. Women will only affect my shooting speed.
Work! Overtime!
After making up my mind, I plunged into the editing room.
In the blink of an eye, May Day is here.
However, this had no effect on Gu Wei. There were no holidays in the film industry. When they were busy, they were always busy. When there were no movies to shoot, they had to stay put.
You can only make money by working.
His agent Yang Liwen brought him good news that the copyrights of "The Blade of the Assassin" in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Southeast Asia have been sold successively in the past two months.
The broadcasting rights of the video website were sold to Tencent Video, and the TV broadcasting rights were sold to the movie channel.
All of these were sold for about 4 million US dollars. Based on a 45% share, Gu Wei's company earned less than 13 million RMB.
It’s just a pity that the copyrights in Europe and the United States have never been negotiated, and it is very difficult for domestic films to sell copyrights in Europe and the United States nowadays.
I remember that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" sold $128 million in North America, and then domestic martial arts blockbusters easily sold copyright fees of tens of millions of dollars.
Unfortunately, the box office performance of these films, which were sold for high copyright fees, was not ideal in the later period, causing Hollywood and European film companies to be cautious when purchasing the copyrights again.
May Day passed, and although Gu Wei was still concentrating on post-production, something forced him to stop.
Zhao Mingcheng came to see him. Today was the day when several companies signed contracts for the film and television development of "Gu Jian Qi Tan".
Although it is only a small investor.
As the boss of the company he needs to be present.
After all, according to the budget made by Huanrui Century, the total investment of this large-scale fantasy TV series will be more than 100 million yuan.
No company would neglect such a large production.
At 2 pm, at Huanrui Century’s company in Chaoyang District, Beijing.
Representatives from several parties were present in the conference room. The content of the contract had been negotiated long ago, and they came today to formally sign the cooperation agreement.
This was the first time Huanrui’s boss Chen Yuan met Gu Wei.
After signing the contract, Gu Wei shook hands with Chen Yuan
"Mr. Gu, you are a true young talent. I've heard Mr. Wang talk about you before. It's really better to meet you in person than to hear about you."
Chen Yuan looks to be in his thirties, which is considered young among the bosses of film and television companies.
"Mr. Chen is too polite. I am just a junior who has just started out. I will need the support of seniors like Mr. Wang and Mr. Chen in the future.
I hope that our cooperation will go smoothly and ultimately be a win-win situation, and it will also lay the foundation for more cooperation in the future."
Gu Wei said modestly.
After signing the contract, the group went to the large conference room downstairs where the journalist friends were already waiting.
A simple press conference was also held to warm up and promote the upcoming filming of "Gu Jian Qi Tan".
Yang Mi, the female lead of the TV series and a contracted artist of Huanrui, was also present.
The host was a manager of Huanrui. The press conference was very simple. The host introduced to the reporters the TV series that was about to start filming, the producers, the director, and the male and female leading actors.
Then he answered several questions from reporters.
Finally, all the producers, directors, male and female leading actors went on stage together to take photos.
Gu Wei didn't say a word during the whole process.
After the press conference, Yang Mi came to Gu Wei under the guidance of Chen Yuan.
Yang Mi was wearing a black evening gown with a split side starting from the hip, revealing her long, white legs. Her chest was plump and upright, and she wore a platinum gem necklace around her neck. Her long, wavy hair was loose, and she exuded a noble and mature style.
"Let me introduce you. This is the leading actor of our TV series and one of the investors, Mr. Gu Wei.
Mr. Gu, this is our company's contracted artist, our leading lady, Yang Mi."
"Hello, Mr. Gu." Yang Mi smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Hello." Gu Wei also stretched out his hand and shook hands with her.
When he let go, he felt fingers gently scratching his palm.
"Mr. Gu, Mimi, you guys chat, I have something else to do." Chen Yuan said and walked away.
"Boss Gu, I've seen your performance in Embroidered Spring Blade. It was a great performance, and Shen Lian was so handsome.
I never thought that I would be able to work with you one day. It’s my honor.” Yang Mi’s voice was a bit childish and very catchy.
She looked at Gu Wei, who was wearing a black suit and looked to be in his early twenties. He was very handsome.
"Miss Mi, you're too polite. I'm just a newcomer and have only acted in one movie so far. To be honest, I grew up watching your plays."
"How can it be so exaggerated? Mr. Gu, you've already called me old. I grew up watching my plays. How can I be that old?"
Yang Mi refused to do it, because age was a taboo in the minds of all women.
"Mijie, you misunderstood. I was saying that when I was little, I watched Zhou Xingchi's movie [The Legend of the Drunken Master] and I thought the little girl in it was so cute and she would definitely be a great beauty when she grew up."
"Mr. Gu, you really know how to joke~" Yang Mi covered her mouth and chuckled.
She was very interested in the actor in front of her who was much younger than her, and she was very curious about his identity as the leading actor and the investor.
Especially since the other person is very handsome, she is even more attracted to him.
"Sister Mi, you don't have to call me Mr. Gu. After all, you're still my senior from the Film and Television Academy. Just call me Gu Wei."
"Okay, I won't be polite, Junior Gu.
I am now looking forward to our collaboration together when the TV series starts filming."
Yang Mi was very fond of the man in front of her whom she called Gu Xuedi.
After signing the contract with Huanrui Century, Huanrui gave her the resources of the heroine of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" as a gift.
She also attaches great importance to this drama, after all, it is a big production with an investment of over 100 million yuan.
As for the selection of the male lead, she is inside Huanrui and knows more about what is happening there.
Originally, there were voices within Huanrui who wanted to give the male lead to another male singer who debuted through a talent show that they had their eyes on, but another investor forcefully took the male lead, and one of the investors, Light Media, also agreed.
What’s interesting is that the actor who plays the male lead is the boss of the investing company. He is both a capital investor and an actor.
So Yang Mi began to pay attention to Gu Wei and looked up his information.
What she didn't expect was that Gu Wei had only acted in one movie, which was last year's popular martial arts movie "The Blade of the Assassin".
And while she was paying attention, he was directing and starring in a movie, which he also invested in himself.
Yang Mi had only one feeling about this: this man was really rich and so willful!
