After the drinking party, Gu Wei felt a little drunk.
But he is considered good, the others are in worse condition.
"Brother, come to my house someday. I have some good wine there."
The drunk Wu Jing patted Gu Wei's arm and said the last words, then got into the car with the help of Xie Nan who came to pick him up.
Others also left the restaurant with the help of assistants or family members.
The night deepens.
Gu Wei's nanny car soon arrived at [Fanyue 108 Apartment].
"You're back~"
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Reba came over happily.
She was wearing a black lace-trimmed tight nightgown that highlighted her voluptuous and beautiful figure.
The white and tender feet stepped on the soft wool carpet, and a slender and tender white calf was revealed under the skirt.
Her jet-black hair was tied up high, her face was obviously washed and without any makeup, and a pair of black-framed glasses perched on her high nose bridge made her already beautiful temperament even softer.
Gu Wei walked in, changed into slippers, held up Reba's face and kissed her gently.
"Are you still awake so late?"
In the past few days since he came back from North America, he almost comes to Reba's place every night.
“Actually, I just got back not long ago.”
The two of them snuggled up and walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down.
"Are you busy so late at work today?"
"No, my sister asked me to have dinner with her tonight, so I came back a little late."
"Sister Mi is back in the capital?" Gu Wei asked in surprise.
"She just came back a couple of days ago. She finished filming the variety show and hasn't started working on her new drama yet. She hasn't been busy lately."
Gu Wei smiled and said, "It seems like you two talked a lot~"
“Because of my busy work, my sister and I haven’t been together for a long time.
She originally wanted me to go karaoke with her after dinner, but I said I had work to do early the next day so I turned it down."
Overall, the dinner with Yang Mi in the evening was very happy. Reba has been in the industry for quite some time, but she doesn’t have many friends, and Yang Mi is one of them.
Especially in the first few years after joining Jiaxing, Yang Mi always supported her, and the relationship between the two was the closest during that period.
Now that he is becoming more and more popular, and even on par with his boss in terms of fame and status, the feeling between the two of them can never return to what it was before.
Although they are still good friends and sisters on the surface, an invisible barrier has already formed between them.
"I'm leaving in two days. The new movie will start shooting in Hainan." Gu Wei hugged Reba's slender and soft waist.
The other person leaned in his arms, feeling sweet and soft, her skin as white and tender as a peeled egg.
"I know, you told me about that movie before, [Extreme Rescue]~"
"Are you still joining the group in the second half of the year?"
“There are no plans at the moment.
Because of the popularity of John Wick 4, my resources have improved a lot recently. My team has received many offers for new dramas recently, but I haven't decided which one to take on yet."
At this point, Reba looked up at Gu Wei and asked, "Has the release date for The Wandering Earth 2, which I filmed in the first half of the year, been set?"
"What a coincidence! Guo Fan is at tonight's dinner party. We've discussed it before, and if nothing unexpected happens, this movie will be released during the Spring Festival next year!"
In fact, Reba had asked Gu Wei about the release date of "The Wandering Earth 2" a few months ago, but the film had just been completed at that time, and Gu Wei just made a simple analysis. Given the size of this movie, it could only be released during the summer and Spring Festival period.
Now that he said this, it means that the release date has most likely been decided.
"Has the post-production for [The Wandering Earth 2] been completed?"
"The main editing has been completed, and the rendering work is still needed. The film will be ready in a month or two."
"Can I watch the movie first after it's finished?" Reba is still very much looking forward to this top domestic science fiction blockbuster in which she participated.
“Of course.
I’ll show you then~”
Gu Wei agreed, lowered his head slightly and kissed Reba's white neck twice.
"You reek of alcohol, go take a shower first~
I've already put in the hot water."
Because of Gu Wei's intimate actions, the fair skin on Reba's neck turned slightly red, and she moaned softly.
"Okay, then you come with me~"
“I had already washed it when I came back.”
"It's okay~"
Gu Wei stood up and gently pulled Reba, who followed him to the bathroom somewhat helplessly.
The next day, in the president's office of [Weiming Tianxia].
"Thank you for your hard work these past few months~"
Gu Wei brewed the Gongfu tea smoothly. After all the steps were completed, the golden tea was poured into two beautiful cups.
"It's not hard at all. The company has given me such a great project to complete, and with Director Wen helping me, I must do my best to do my best to live up to the boss and the company's trust!"
Cui Rui, who was sitting opposite him, looked tired. He picked up the teacup, blew on it gently, and took a small sip.
In mid-August, the filming of "The Accidental Murderer 2" was completed. He returned to the company with the crew and the filmed materials, and has been busy with the post-production editing of the film during this period.
"I have always seen your efforts. The previous web series [Detective Chinatown] and [The Love Master 2] were both good.
I believe that this time [Manslaughter 2] will also have a good result."
Gu Wei also picked up the teacup and took a sip, praising with a smile on his face.
"Don't worry, Mr. Gu. I'm confident I can make this movie a success. I won't let the good reputation of the Manslaughter series fall on me!"
Cui Rui patted his chest and made the promise, and Gu Wei smiled and nodded.
"Did I ask Mr. Yang to show you the script?"
Cui Rui's spirits brightened slightly when he spoke of this. "I've read it. It's a very interesting book. I feel the narrative style is somewhat similar to Manslaughter."
Gu Wei nodded.
"Before filming [The Accidental Murder 2], I told you that I would ask you to direct a new movie, which is [The Vanishing].
This script is adapted from the former Soviet Union film "Trap for Bachelors". If you have time, you can watch the original movie.
Once the post-production of "The Accidental Murderer 2" is completed, you can start preparing for this new movie.
The crew members communicated with Mr. Zhao, and the company would meet any needs.
By the way, I will play the male lead "He Fei."
Cui Rui was mentally prepared for what Gu Wei said.
He was very much looking forward to this movie after getting the script of "Gone Girl".
Since joining Wei Ming Tian Xia, Cui Rui has directed two films, namely "The Love Master 2" and "The Accidental Detective 2". The "The Love Master 2" which has been released has done well at the box office, and he has also used this opportunity to get rid of his identity as a new director.
However, both films were sequels, and Wen Mu played a big role in them.
He is very grateful for Director Wen's help, but he hopes that an independently directed film can be successful.
Now the film "Her Disappearance" given by Gu Wei is a perfect opportunity.
The script and story are good on the one hand, but the main thing is that the boss himself stars in the film. This is like playing a game where your teammates are all-powerful and you can win without any effort!
"Don't worry, Mr. Gu, I will definitely prepare well for the filming of this drama.
For the production crew, we can just use the same crew from Manslaughter 2. We’ve worked together on two dramas, so it’s pretty easy to use them together!”
Cui Rui first expressed his determination, then thought for a moment and asked, "In addition to the male lead, there are several other characters with important roles in [The Vanishing Girl]. What are your thoughts on the casting?"
"I've already asked Ni Ni to play the female lead 'Chen Mai'. I've already told her about it. I'll just send her an invitation later.
Let’s use Li County as the Chinese policeman “Zheng Cheng”.
As for the "fake Li Muzi".
Do you have any good suggestions?"
Gu Wei thought about it and threw the question back to Cui Rui.
The original version of this role was played by Janice Man.
This Hong Kong female star, who debuted as a young model like Angelababy, is a rare talent with excellent acting skills.
She played the original "fake Li Muzi" very well.
However, Gu Wei never thought of looking for her. He has so many female artists under his management, and it doesn't make sense to give such a role to an outsider.
Cui Rui also understood what his boss meant. He asked him to give advice from among the actresses under the company. It would be better for the company to keep the money within the company.
"The fake Li Muzi plays a "femme fatale" in the movie. Her main job is to constantly pressure and stimulate He Fei through acting, break down his inner defenses, and force him to tell the truth.
According to this setting, Zhou Ye and Tian Xiwei, who are too young and sweet-looking, are not suitable.
Nazha, Zhang Tianai, and Meng Ziyi all fit the bill in terms of image. As for acting, I've only worked with Zhang Tianai, and she's definitely no problem."
Cui Rui stopped talking here and looked up at Gu Wei.
"Let's use Meng Ziyi. With her acting skills, this role should be no problem.
She just happens to be a beautiful type in terms of appearance!"
Gu Wei also understood what he meant, and after thinking about it for a moment, he made the decision.
Nazha is pretty enough, but her acting skills are not good enough, and Gu Wei is afraid that she can't support the role.
Moreover, she herself was not very enthusiastic about filming and had been just slacking off, just wanting me to take her out to play.
Zhang Tianai just finished filming two movies this year, "The Wandering Earth 2" and "The Accidental Detective 2", both of which she played the leading role. Her film resources are really too good, and she is not bad for "The Vanishing Her".
As an artist under the company, we cannot give all the good resources to her.
Meng Ziyi hasn't had any other works that have really gone viral since "The East Palace". Her popularity in the past two years has been entirely supported by the variety show "Fifty Kilometers Peach Blossom Village", which just happened to give her the opportunity to perform in "The Vanishing Her".
"As for the other characters in the movie, you decide."
"I understand~"
After finishing a pot of tea, Cui Rui stood up and said goodbye.
Gu Wei sat in the office and thought for a while, then asked his assistant to call Yang Liwen over.
"September is almost here, and 'A Thousand Miles Home' is set to be released during this year's National Day holiday. How is the company's publicity and promotion preparations going?"
Yang Liwen thought for a moment and said, "This movie is jointly released by us and China Film Group.
China Film Group is mainly responsible for offline promotion and scheduling, while our company is responsible for online promotion and crew roadshows.
The publicity department decided to release the first poster and trailer on September 1, and then gradually warm up the Internet.
The specific promotion and marketing plan will be sent to your email address later."
Gu Wei nodded.
"I just talked to Director Cui about the company's new movie this year, [The Vanishing Girl].
I have cast Li Xian and Meng Ziyi to play two important roles in the film~"
After he said that, Yang Liwen's face lit up with joy.
She is very clear that the movie "Her" is one of the two most important projects of the company in the second half of the year.
The most important thing is that it stars Gu Wei, and it is a movie that is sure to be a hit at the box office in the future.
She was also very happy that Li Xian and Meng Ziyi had this opportunity.
"Understood. I'll talk to Director Cui later and arrange the actors' schedules~"
Changsha, Mango TV.
The recording of [Hello Saturday] has ended and Meng Ziyi is resting backstage.
She hasn't been in any production crew recently and has taken on a lot of variety shows.
However, his fame and popularity have not been affected at all, but have shown a trend of getting better and better.
According to her agent, her character of a silly beauty is currently very likable and the audience likes this type of person.
Meng Ziyi was quite dissatisfied with this, saying that she had no objection to her being a beauty, but where did the idiot come from.
And this is not a character setting, her personality is just like that, and she is not acting.
"Sister Meng, do you have time to have dinner together tonight?"
After the program was recorded, one of the hosts, Wang Hedi, came over to invite us.
"Teacher He Jiong asked you to come?" Meng Ziyi looked up at him.
"No, Teacher He didn't say that.
I thought we hadn’t seen each other for a long time, so we should get together.”
Wang Hedi did not come to this season of [Taohuawu] because they had no work overlap. He and Meng Ziyi had indeed not seen each other for a long time.
"Is there anyone else?" Meng Ziyi hesitated.
They did have a good relationship when recording "Taohuawu", but she would definitely not go if Wang Hedi was the only one there.
Earlier this month, "Cang Lan Jue" was launched on iQiyi, and Wang Hedi and Yu Shuxin became famous thanks to this drama.
The two's current CP "Di Xin Gravity" is very popular.
If the paparazzi caught her having dinner alone with Wang Hedi, she would be scolded to death by fans, and Meng Ziyi didn't want to bring bad luck upon herself.
"Call Xueqin to come along, and then call Qin Xiaoxian~" Wang Hedi also saw her concerns.
Meng Ziyi was a little hesitant, as she did have a good relationship with Li Xueqin.
At this time, Meng Ziyi's agent came over and was about to say something, but saw that Wang Hedi on the side did not open his mouth, but turned to look at him.
"Um, you guys chat, I'll go find Xueqin and Lao Qin, let's chat on WeChat later~" Wang Hedi was also very tactful. He said something to Meng Ziyi and turned to leave.
"Sister Han, what's the matter?"
Han Meng is the agent assigned to Meng Ziyi by the company after she became famous. She has been helping her connect with various resources and jobs.
"I just received news from President Yang that you have been chosen as the lead actor in an important project that the company is planning for the second half of the year!"
"real?
Movie or TV series?" Meng Ziyi was also very surprised.
Everyone knows that the projects controlled by [Wei Ming Tian Xia] are the top productions in the industry, and as long as you can participate in them, you will gain a lot.
"The movie is called 'Gone Girl'.
Director Cui Rui from the company has been confirmed to direct the film, and the boss will play the male lead!
“Senior brother plays the male lead, it’s amazing!
So what role was given to me, the female lead?"
The agent shook his head.
"She's said to be the second female lead, but her role is said to be not much different from the female lead."
"Is there a script?" Meng Ziyi asked.
"Yes, the company has sent it to your work email~"
Seeing Meng Ziyi still immersed in this good news, the agent hesitated: "Are you close to Wang Hedi?"
"Ah? It's okay. We met at Taohuawu and got along pretty well back then, but we don't keep in touch much after the show."
Mencius meant to speak the truth.
Her best relationships are with her best friend Zhou Ye from the same company, as well as female stars such as Wang Churan and Song Yanfei.
"Wang Hedi is very popular now, but his popularity is only temporary. Whether he can maintain it depends on his subsequent works.
I don't recommend you to have too much contact with him. If rumors spread, it will have a very bad impact on you.
Especially now he has an official CP."
Meng Ziyi nodded.
"I know, he asked me to have dinner together in the evening, and I sent a WeChat message to reject him.
Go back to the hotel to read the script tonight! "(End of this chapter)
