Chapter 23 Daily Life
Hotel, the next morning, Gu Wei received a call from President Guo
"Mr. Gu, your loan has gone through the process and has been approved by the head office. Can you come over and sign the contract when you have time?"
"Thank you so much, President Guo. Is it convenient for me to come over this afternoon?" asked Gu Wei.
"No problem, we're always here to welcome you," said President Guo.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Wei prepared to get up. His movements woke up the sleeping Zhang Tianai. He stroked her messy hair with one hand, lowered his head, and said softly,
"Honey, you should get some more sleep. I'll go order breakfast."
Zhang Tianai uttered a "hmm" in a daze, then turned over and fell asleep again.
Gu Wei stood up, and at this time Zhang Tianai's mobile phone placed on the bedside lit up.
Because it was on silent mode, it didn't wake her up.
Gu Wei glanced at it and saw that his phone was bombarded with a series of messages.
Gu Wei would not look through other people's phones, even his girlfriends. This was the minimum trust and respect he gave them.
He knows about some things, but he doesn't care because he is confident. His idea is that since we are together, I will treat you wholeheartedly and manage this relationship well.
Only when there is no grudge between the two can there be the sweetest and happiest love. That is why he kept his distance from Nazha after he got a partner, and why he introduced his girlfriend to everyone.
Have the sweetest love with the most loving attitude.
If there are disagreements, conflicts, and doubts between two people, it is better to separate.
He falls in love and finds a girlfriend, on the one hand because he is attracted by her beauty, and on the other hand because he enjoys the process of falling in love. A love that is mutual and without conflicts or grudges can really make people feel happy and joyful.
No worries and no burdens, just enjoy the fun.
After all, Gu Wei still loves himself more.
Gu Wei prepared breakfast, left a note on the table as usual, packed up and prepared to go to school.
I made an appointment with the bank in the afternoon, so I tried not to miss my school classes.
Came to the Bank of Communications in the afternoon.
Gu Wei signed the contract, put down his pen, stood up and shook hands with President Guo.
“It’s a pleasure to work with you, President Guo, and I thank you for your financial support.
Thanks for your help. ”
"No, no, Mr. Gu's project is a good project, and I am just following the procedures. I can't say I'm helping you, but it's a win-win situation for us." President Guo was as polite as ever.
"The head office has already started disbursing the loan. 8 million yuan will be in the account by the end of today's business day at the latest."
Gu Wei returned to the company with his agent and found that the loan had already been deposited into the company account.
"We still have sufficient funds, so we still need to continue purchasing the copyright. Gu Man should finalize the contract as soon as possible."
Gu Wei said to Yang Liwen.
"Okay, Mr. Gu."
Campus life is always relaxed and comfortable. There is nothing important to deal with. I go to class every day, spend time with my girlfriend, and occasionally make an appointment with my friends to play basketball. During this time, I can't help but quarrel with Yang Zi.
With more free time, Gu Wei resumed his habit of attending classes in the directing department, and chatted with Teacher Xu about some things about the filming of the movie "The Sword of Assassin" in his spare time.
Any doubts and questions that arise when filming a movie can be brought up for consultation with the teacher to combine theory with practice.
"A film, ultimately, is about telling a complete story, so the script is crucial. Storyboard design, the actors' performances, and the use of camera shots are also crucial; these further elucidate the script's content.
As a qualified director, you should be able to let the audience understand the beginning, occurrence, development, climax and ending of the story through your lens language within a limited time.
All the technical things, such as camera techniques, the use of light and color, are used to help you tell the story.
You have to remember that no matter how elaborate the filming techniques are, if the story is not clear, then it will not be a good movie."
Teacher Xu’s teachings were very practical and Gu Wei could understand them. Although he had not taken many directing classes, he could easily understand what the teacher said based on the movies he had seen and some information he had received over the years.
For example, "The Promise", directed by Chen Da in 2005, has been criticized by countless people since its release, and the plot was summarized by netizens as "a bloody murder caused by a steamed bun."
But if you ignore the story and look at it from a professional perspective, this movie is of a very high level in terms of costumes, colors, scenes, actors and camera techniques.
It's a pity that I just can't tell a good story.
The short film "Old Boy" starring "Chopstick Brothers" in 2010 has a simple plot, the scenes and actors are like a joke, and the shots are straightforward.
With an investment of 700,000 yuan and filming time of only 16 days, the film quickly became popular with over 10 million hits after it was released, and received rave reviews from the audience. Countless people shed tears after watching the film.
Xiao Yang and Wang Taili also became famous with a micro-film and a song.
So as Mr. Xu said, the most important thing in making a movie is to tell a story, to tell a good story.
Although Gu Wei was very active in class, he did not intend to spend too much time on it.
Learning how to be a director is about not being fooled in the future. It's about being able to control projects myself—in other words, being able to make decisions myself, without having to rely on others. But it's definitely not about delving into art.
If he were to do it all over again, his purpose has always been clear. Whether it is making movies, investing, or even finding a girlfriend, his goal is to enjoy life.
Apart from that, things like studying film art, pursuing artistic progress, and enjoying a higher level of spiritual life have nothing to do with him. Gu Wei is not worthy of it. He is just an ordinary person.
Being an actor is about making money and also about enjoying flowers and applause.
I wanted to be a director so I could have the final say, without being constrained or controlled. Of course, I heard that directors have a lot of power and can often sleep on a red sofa, so this also motivated me.
When doing things, since the goal is so clear, it is clear how to do it, and it is impossible to lose sight of the main goal.
Happy times always pass quickly. Gu Wei goes to school during the day and studies with his girlfriend at night. The hotel becomes his regular place of residence.
He simply rented an executive suite for a month in a familiar hotel and lived there before buying a house. Now the money in his pocket is still not enough to buy a house that suits his taste in Beijing, and he doesn't want to go back to school to live in the dormitory. Of course, he can't let himself down if he has the means.
"Honey, I have a commercial to shoot today and can't accompany you." Zhang Tianai looked apologetic.
"It doesn't matter. Work is more important. I happen to be meeting Director Lu Yang today. The post-production of our movie is almost done."
Gu Wei used his hand to push aside her hair and gently kissed Zhang Tianai's forehead.
"Don't work too hard, I'll pick you up in the evening."
"Okay, I'll contact you when I'm done," Zhang Tianai replied.
