Chapter 861 I Can Help You
After more than 10 years of debut, Gu Wei's net worth has become extremely huge.
The value of the fixed assets under his name alone is over ten digits.
These include the recently purchased private island in New Zealand, a wine estate in France, a mansion in Los Angeles, a hot spring villa in Japan, as well as high-end properties in major cities in other countries around the world.
The number of properties he owns in China is more than the total number of properties he owns abroad, most of which are concentrated in big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai.
There is a special company in his personal team to help him manage the properties under his name.
Although he has many houses, Gu Wei is alone after all, and he spends a long time of the year living in hotels, so he rarely stays in most properties.
In Beijing, this large flat in Embassy No. 1 Courtyard is the residence where he has lived for a long time because it is close to his company.
This was not Liu Yifei's first time here, and the so-called jacuzzi experience was of course a joke from Gu Wei.
However, when she came out of the bathroom more than an hour later, she felt refreshed all over, as if she had just experienced a highly skilled massage.
From the hair to the toes, every muscle in the body was completely relaxed, her usually fair skin turned slightly red, and her pretty face was covered with a blush.
Lying on the bed, eyes slightly narrowed, the whole person exudes a state of satisfaction and laziness.
"How long will it take to shoot John Wick 4?"
"About two months."
"Is it filmed in North America?"
“Filming took place around the world, primarily in Berlin, Paris, New York, Japan, and other locations.”
In the quiet night, the two of them snuggled up to each other on the big bed in the bedroom.
"[Where the Wind Runs] starts filming at the end of March, just in time for you to get back from filming."
"I will probably join the crew later, so the crew can start filming the scenes before Xu Hongdou comes to Yunnan."
Liu Yifei lay sideways, with one of her round, white legs resting on one of Gu Wei's legs, her head resting on his arm, and her chubby little hands resting on his chest.
"I'll be busy for the next two months."
Gu Wei grabbed her hand that was on him and asked, "Why, do you have any other work during the New Year holiday?"
"I don't have work, but I'm going to be filming 'Windy' soon. I need to lose weight, otherwise I'll look fat on camera with my current body shape!"
Gu Wei lowered his head slightly and said with a smile, "I thought you were very satisfied with your figure. I didn't expect that the always confident Xixi would also have figure anxiety."
As he said this, he turned slightly to the side, placed his big hands on the other person's waist, and gently grabbed the flesh there.
"Actually, you have a pretty good figure now, plump and soft, and your body feels great!"
Liu Yifei slapped him on the chest in annoyance: "You big-headed ghost!
Fat is fat, no need to beat around the bush.
To be honest, I wouldn't want to lose weight deliberately if I wasn't filming.
But when I’m on camera, I have to show my best side to the audience. I’m an actor!”
"Wow, so professional!" Gu Wei praised with a smile.
He actually understands Liu Yifei very well.
After knowing each other for ten years, Gu Wei has already understood the other person's personality and temper very thoroughly.
Just as she said, in Liu Yifei's perception, she is a professional actor, not a star.
For her, filming is both work and a hobby. She has little interest in doing anything else.
Because she is not interested, she rarely appears on variety shows.
When I’m not filming or promoting, I prefer to enjoy my own life. While reducing my exposure, I don’t pay too much attention to my body management.
If she needs to attend any endorsement event at this time, everyone will find that she has gained a lot of weight in front of the camera.
Once she actually takes on the role, she will devote herself to it wholeheartedly, and will do anything to lose weight and reshape her body for the role, turning herself back into the beautiful Liu Yifei.
"Actually, if I wasn't out filming, I could definitely help you lose weight. You wouldn't have to do any particularly strenuous exercise!"
Gu Wei looked down at the beauty in his arms and said with a smile.
"Can you help me?" Liu Yifei was a little surprised.
"How can I help you? Work out with me?
Even if you don't go out to film, there should be a lot of things to do in the company. How can you find the time?"
“No need for daytime, night time will do.”
"night?
You mean going for a night run with me?"
Gu Wei's face was full of smiles, and his big hand on the other's waist moved dishonestly.
"You don't have to run at night. Don't you think you've burned a lot of calories just by being with me today?"
Only at this point did Liu Yifei react and rolled her eyes speechlessly.
"Can you think of something normal?"
"It's the middle of the night, lying in bed with you. If I were to think normally, that would be the biggest abnormality!"
As he said that, Gu Wei flipped over and pressed Liu Yifei under him.
"It's been such a long time, have you rested well?"
Feeling the heat radiating from Gu Wei, Liu Yifei's breathing became a little rapid.
"what?"
"Hurry up and help you consume the energy in your body!"
The next day, Liu Yifei, who was sleeping soundly on the big bed, slowly woke up until the sun was high in the sky.
After opening my eyes, I reached out and took the phone from the bedside. I looked at the time and it was almost noon.
"I slept so well!"
He sat up and stretched, got out of bed, put on his slippers, opened the wardrobe on the side of the bedroom as if he knew the way, took out a set of pajamas that fit him and put them on.
After washing up, I took out milk and bread from the refrigerator, heated them up, and fried an egg for breakfast.
At the dining table, she was eating while looking at her phone and clicked on the voice message her mother had just sent.
"Will you be back for dinner?"
Liu Yifei thought for a moment and then pressed the talk button: "Go back, we'll be home soon."
After eating, I tidied up briefly, changed into my own clothes, and looked at myself in the dressing mirror.
In the mirror, Liu Yifei, who was not wearing any makeup, had fair skin with a rosy glow, and her eyes were bright and clear, and extremely lively.
The whole person exudes a vigorous and positive spirit.
"I really seem to be looking better. It was like this before. Is it my illusion or is it because of him?"
Thinking of the strenuous exercise that consumed her energy last night and what Gu Wei said, Liu Yifei murmured to herself, "If it's really because of Gu Wei, then his suggestion of helping her lose weight makes sense."
Thinking of this, she shook her head again and immediately overturned her own idea.
"How is it possible? There is no such good thing. He is just talking nonsense.
The reason you look energetic is simply because you sleep well and rest well."
Thinking of this, she felt a little amused by her original idea, shook her head and prepared to go out.
【Defend the world of Ming Dynasty】.
Gu Wei left home early in the morning, left a note for Liu Yifei and came to the company.
He was quite busy these days before he left.
There is only half a month left before the Spring Festival. This is the critical promotion period for "Yang Jian: The Legend of the Condor Heroes". All the company's publicity and promotion resources are invested in this movie.
As the boss, Gu Wei also pays close attention to the current online public opinion about movies.
Fortunately, because of "Nezha", many viewers have high expectations for this animated film with the same world view.
During the day, Wen Muye's [Miracle·Stupid Kid] was completely completed in the later stages.
Gu Wei took some executives to watch the finished film, congratulated Wen Muye, and then invited him, Cui Rui and several other directors of the company to have a drink and dinner together in the evening.
"When does the company plan to release 'Miracle'?" Wen Mu also became concerned about the release of the movie at the dinner table.
“It is tentatively scheduled for May Day.
After the Spring Festival and before the summer vacation, the May Day holiday should be the best time period.
A five-day holiday is enough for Miracle to reap the box office revenue.” Gu Wei said after thinking for a while.
"I don't have high expectations for the show's box office. I'm happy just to make back my investment, not to mention racking up big bucks."
Wen Mu also waved his hand.
He is not being modest. If Gu Wei had agreed to star in "Miracle", Wen Mu would have dared to claim a box office of 10 billion or 20 billion, but the current leading actor is Peng Yuchang from the company.
Although Wen Mu thought Peng Peng’s acting was good, with a youthful feel, and he brought the male lead Jing Hao in “Miracle: The Stupid Kid” to life, he did not have much confidence in his box office appeal.
Based on his confidence in the quality of his film, he felt that a box office revenue of over 500 million would be a huge success.
"Brother Wen is too modest!" Cui Rui said with a smile.
"I'm not being modest, I'm being realistic. This movie isn't a commercial film, and it doesn't have a particularly charismatic star in the lead role, so I don't think the box office will be too high."
Gu Wei nodded and said nothing more.
He actually understood Wen Muye's thoughts very well and agreed with him.
The content of [Miracle·Stupid Kid] has not changed, but Peng Peng’s fame is definitely not as good as the four-character version in the original version, and the May Day period is not as good as the Spring Festival period, so it is inevitable that the box office will not be as good as the original time and space.
However, he doesn't think the final result will be too different. The original version had a box office of more than 1 billion. He thinks that even if it doesn't reach 1 billion, it can at least reach 700 million or 800 million.
After all, according to David Koo's consistent thinking, the movie itself is the fundamental factor that determines the box office results.
"Director Cui, how are your preparations for [The Accidental Murder 2] going?" After talking with Director Wen, Gu Wei turned to Cui Rui.
“The filming crew has been finalised and is currently scouting for filming locations.
Mr. Gu, you also know that the story of "The Accidental Murder 2" also takes place in Thailand.
It is still not very convenient to film abroad now, so I communicated with Mr. Zhao and prepared to choose a suitable place in China.
We have already inspected some Thai-style streets in some cities and plan to make some renovations to the locations for filming after selecting them."
Gu Wei nodded and said, "Yes, that's a good idea. It's okay for one person to go abroad now, but it's really not very convenient for a crew of hundreds of people to go abroad for filming.
Director Rao's film "A Thousand Miles Home" was about the evacuation of overseas Chinese, and the location was built in Ningxia, China to replicate the African environment.
When do you expect [Manslaughter 2] to start filming?
Cui Rui thought for a moment and said, "After the Chinese New Year, it should be around March.
One month is enough time for site selection and renovation.”
After saying that, he looked at Wen Muye and said, "Brother Wen, can you continue to come over and be the producer for [The Accidental Murder 2] this time? I'll feel more at ease when you're around."
Wen Mu also looked hesitant in the face of Cui Rui's request.
Gu Wei smiled and helped him out: "Don't make things difficult for your brother Wen. He complained to me last month that filming one movie after another in recent years was a bit too tiring, and he wanted to take a break after finishing "Miracle"."
Cui Rui looked at Gu Wei and then at Wen Mu.
"I'm sorry, Brother Wen, I didn't know you wanted to rest.
When we were filming [Love in the City 2], you were the producer and helped me steer the show. When we took on [The Accidental Murder 2], I thought we could still do the same thing."
"It's okay, I just felt a little too busy before, so I wanted to take a break for a while to adjust my state.
In fact, you are now a mature director. When I was chatting with Mr. Gu a few days ago, I said that with your level, there would be no problem in filming "The Accidental Murder 2".
When you are arranging, you can refer to the style of my first part.
The original work of this script, [The End is Near], is a traditional three-act play with a somewhat rigid narrative structure. You can add some suspense to the non-linear narrative track."
Wen Mu first gave Cui Rui affirmation, and then talked to him about the filming of "The Accidental Murder 2" and gave him a lot of useful suggestions.
The two discussed for a while, and Cui Rui felt that he had gained a lot.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Wen, I feel that there is still a big gap between my shooting skills and yours. I'm really worried that if I can't shoot the second part well, it will ruin the reputation of the "Manslaughter" series."
Wen Mu also looked at Cui Rui and hesitated.
"How about this, I can continue to be your producer, but I won't be as involved as I was when we were filming [The Good Wife 2]. You'll have the final say on what to shoot and how to shoot it. If you're unsure about anything, just ask me.
This way I don’t have much to do, and it’s no different from just resting at home, I can just treat it as a trip to a different place.”
Cui Rui looked happy: "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Wen. With you around, I feel more confident even if I don't do anything!"
Gu Wei smiled and said, "That's right.
Moreover, there is still more than a month from now until the start of filming of "The Accidental Murderer 2", which is enough time for you to spend a comfortable New Year at home.
Oh, and I have something to show you today."
After saying that, he took out a movie script from his bag and handed it to Wen Muye.
"Boss Gu, I've said before that I won't be taking on any new roles in the next six months, and you don't need to show me any scripts.
And I have to join the crew to supervise Cui Yongyuan's production."
Wen Mu said the same thing but still took the script.
“I’m not asking you to shoot it now, this is an action movie I wrote for myself.
The earliest it can be started is after June or July. I'll show it to you first.
If you are interested, take a good rest in the next six months, and we can start filming this movie together in the second half of the year."
The film Gu Wei gave Wen Muye was "Extreme Rescue", for which he had written the outline himself, which was the story of rescuing his sister who was kidnapped in northern Myanmar.
When Wen Mu heard that it was Gu Wei’s own movie, he immediately became interested.
The boss is starring in an action movie, and it might be another "Wolf Warrior 2".
He opened the script and glanced at a few pages: "Okay, I'll go back and take a good look at it.
There's definitely no problem with filming.
Since I’m not in a hurry, I’ll start preparing for this drama after Cui Rui’s “Manslaughter 2” is finished.
Gu Wei smiled and saw Cui Rui's envious face, patted his shoulder and said, "I have a movie specially prepared for you.
However, the script has not been written yet.
I’ll show it to you after you finish filming [The Accidental Murder 2].”
"Boss, are you also the lead actor?"
Cui Rui has never worked with his boss since joining the company.
Gu Wei smiled and nodded: "Yes, I plan to act it myself!"
The pie he painted for Cui Rui was exactly the "Her Disappearance" that he asked the screenwriter department to write the script for a few days ago.
