Chapter 340 You Can Come Anytime
During the New Year's Day, Gu Wei was not idle either. He was in the company watching the finishing work of "Detective Chinatown 2".
The editing, dubbing, subtitles and other work of this film were finally completed after more than 3 months.
Gu Wei was very satisfied after watching the finished film in the company's screening room.
The "Detective Chinatown" series is to Gu Wei what the "Lost in Russia" series is to Xu Zheng, both are films that leave a deep personal imprint.
Whether he can achieve good results and a good reputation is very important to Gu Wei.
So he also attaches great importance to this movie.
Now that the film is out, from Gu Wei's point of view, the quality is better than the original!
First of all, from the story point of view, some of the original details and bugs have been dealt with, the funny parts have been completely retained, and there is no problem with the use of lenses. The audience can't find any major problems after watching it.
Secondly, the actors are completely superior to the original version. Except for Bao Qiang, the three main actors including Gu Wei are better than Director Chen's version in all aspects.
The difference between Gu Wei, Liu Yifei, Nazha and Director Chen's version of Liu Haoran and two unknown actresses is as huge as heaven and earth.
No matter in terms of appearance, acting skills, fame, etc., they are completely incomparable.
After talking to Yang Liwen, I contacted the three co-producers, China Film, Light Media, and Wanda, to come and see the film, and then we can set the release date.
The share of [Detective Chinatown 2] is different from the first one. [Wei Ming Tian Xia], as the main controlling party of the film, holds a 60% investment, and the other three co-producers each hold 10%.
The final 10% of the shares were distributed to Youku Films, Beijing Yaolai Media, Jinyi Pictures, Dadi Times, and Hengdian Films.
Among them, Youku Films has online promotion resources, and the following four have theater resources, so they were able to enter the market in the end.
Although the share is small and I can't really eat meat, I can at least have a taste of the soup.
How much money they make is secondary. The key is that some of them are listed companies and they need to participate in such blockbuster movies to boost investor confidence.
Afternoon, Gu Wei's office.
Zhang Tianai knocked on the door and came in. She was wearing a long, fashionable off-white suit, trousers and high heels. She looked very aggressive, like a domineering female CEO at the workplace.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, the style of painting changed.
"Gu Wei, are you looking for me?"
After Zhang Tianai entered the room, she looked at Gu Wei sitting behind the desk, smiled sweetly, and then asked in a somewhat gentle tone.
Since they met, although her screen image has always been tough, she has always been a gentle and lovely girl in front of Gu Wei.
"Sit~"
Gu Wei stood up, asked her to sit on the sofa in the room, and sat opposite her.
"Coffee or tea?"
"Just tea."
Gu Wei nodded and started brewing tea on the tea table in front of him.
"Has calling you here delayed my work?"
Zhang Tianai watched Gu Wei brew tea smoothly without changing his smile.
"No, I just went to shoot a magazine cover and just got back to the company. I've finished all the schedules for today~"
"I heard from Sister Yang that the company recently got you a new role?"
He handed the small cup of brewed tea to Zhang Tianai.
"Hmm~ There's a movie produced by [Guangguang Media] called [Passing By Your World], starring Deng Chao and Bai Baihe, and they asked me to play a supporting female role."
Zhang Tianai was very happy to get this role. Deng Chao and Bai Baihe are both real first-line stars in the film industry. After the hit drama "The Princess Weiyoung" two years ago, although her popularity was not weak, her status in the circle was still far behind these two.
The main reason why the crew chose her was not only because of her fame, but also because of the good relationship between the company and Guangguang Media.
Gu Wei picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.
"The role of Ding Baiying in [Assassin's Spring Blade 2] has solidified your position in the film industry. I believe many companies and directors have seen your talent as a female fighter. It won't be difficult for you to get similar roles in the future."
Zhang Tianai nodded.
The movie was a big hit recently, and the role she played in it was widely praised by the audience. Some self-media even exaggeratedly said that she had cut off the martial arts dreams of all female stars in the domestic entertainment industry.
Although he felt a little offended, Zhang Tianai was still happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw such news.
Gu Wei took a white script from his desk and handed it to her.
“This is a movie I arranged for you.
You will play the female lead in the sequel to "Wolf Warrior" directed by Wu Jing."
Zhang Tianai took it with a look of surprise and couldn't help but start flipping through it.
"This movie has two male leads, and I'll also be in it. As for the timing, I'll be able to join the crew after your film 'Passing By Your World' is finished."
"That's great, Gu Wei, thank you!"
Zhang Tianai closed the script and looked at him happily.
"Why are you being so polite to me? I'm your boss. Isn't it my job to help you find resources?"
The two chatted for a while, and Gu Wei asked Zhang Tianai about her recent work and life, and asked her if she had any questions that needed his help.
"My life now is something I never dared to imagine, it is really very good.
Every day at work is very fulfilling. I just need to follow the company's arrangements and don't have to worry about anything.
I can feel myself moving up step by step, and it feels so good!"
Zhang Tianai said with emotion.
"By the way, I recently bought a new house in Beijing and have moved in now. Do you have time today to come and visit me?"
Zhang Tianai has been signed to Gu Wei's company for more than two years. Since the hit of "Go Princess Go", she has gained a certain degree of fame. With the company's support, she has been filming, endorsing, and performing in commercials. Because of her relationship with Gu Wei's ex-girlfriend, the contract she signed with the company was relatively loose, so she has made a lot of money in the past two years.
Gu Wei was a little tempted, but thinking about the date he had already agreed to with Yang Mi, he could only say regretfully:
"I have something to do tonight~"
Zhang Tianai frowned, a little disappointed.
"But I have time tomorrow. Can I go over there after work tomorrow night?"
Gu Wei asked.
"Of course, of course no problem!"
Zhang Tianai agreed with surprise.
Gu Wei smiled, looked at his watch, and stood up to get his coat hanging on the hanger.
"Send me your location tomorrow and I'll come over after get off work."
"Okay, I'll prepare some of my specialties for you tomorrow. You can try them then~"
Zhang Tianai said eagerly.
"Uh~ I remember you never cooked once when we were together. Is it some kind of weird cuisine?"
Gu Wei joked.
"Yes, it's dark cuisine. Do you dare to eat it?"
Zhang Tianai raised his eyebrows playfully.
"I'll definitely be there for you!"
After saying that, Gu Wei put on his clothes and walked out the door.
"Then Xiao Ai, see you tomorrow."
Gu Wei had already left. Looking at his departing figure, Zhang Tianai murmured:
“Actually, it doesn’t matter which day it is. You can come anytime.”
At night, at Jinmao Mansion, Yang Mi's home.
Gu Wei and Yang Mi were having a candlelight dinner together.
Red wine, steak, and salad, it looks like there's a great atmosphere.
However, Gu Wei seriously suspected that Yang Mi could not cook any other dishes at all, and frying steak was already her limit.
Every time he came here, he would eat these, and he had never once had a stir-fry like Zeng Li's.
But Gu Wei didn't come to her just for the food, so he didn't care.
Yang Mi, who was sitting opposite him, was wearing a red low-cut long dress, which showed off her curvy figure. Her long wavy hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her shoulders, collarbones and a large area of white skin in front were all exposed to Gu Wei's sight.
“Celebrating the success of our film!
And thank you for recommending me to this drama!"
Yang Mi raised his wine glass, his lips curled up, and his fox eyes were extremely charming.
"Miss Mi, you're being distant now. Do we even need to elaborate on our relationship? Just congratulate us on our box office success!"
Gu Wei also smiled and raised his glass to clink it with his.
After taking a sip of wine, Yang Mi looked at Gu Wei with amusement.
"What's the relationship between us?"
"Of course we are good friends and good partners, and now we are good partners in the same company."
Gu Wei said as a matter of course.
"Haha~ Gu Wei, after knowing you for such a long time, I discovered that you have one greatest advantage!"
"I have so many good qualities, which one are you talking about, sister?"
Gu Wei said teasingly.
"If other men are scumbags, they will definitely try every possible way to hide it and pretend on the surface.
You never hide anything, you are so pure and honest!"
Yang Mi said sarcastically.
"Ahem~ Sister Mi, how could you say that to me? I'm just soft-hearted and can't bear to see others being rejected.
Plus, I'm honest, so everyone calls me the Honest and Reliable Young Master."
Gu Wei said seriously.
"Puff~"
Yang Mi covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Not only is he a scumbag, but he's also incredibly shameless!"
"Ah~ Sister Mi has misunderstood me so deeply."
Gu Wei sighed in a pretentious manner.
Yang Mi rolled her eyes at him.
The two chatted for a while, and Yang Mi hesitated.
"Do you think it's feasible for me to shift the focus of my career to the film industry?"
Gu Wei took a bite of the salad, feeling a little strange.
"How could you have such an idea, Sister Mi? You have always been very capable in leading a drama. It would be a shame if you filmed less in the future.
And acting in movies doesn’t interfere with acting in TV dramas.”
“But isn’t the ultimate goal of an actor the big screen?
I released two movies this year. "I Am a Witness" performed well, and "The Sword Identity 2" was a great success at the box office and received great reviews.
I feel that if I continue to develop in this way, it won’t be a problem for me to focus on becoming a movie star in the future.”
Gu Wei looked at Yang Mi and found that she seemed serious.
"So, sister Mi, what are your plans?"
"After filming Eternal Love, I have another movie to shoot, and there haven't been any good opportunities since then."
After saying that, she reached out and lifted her hair, then glanced at Gu Wei charmingly.
"Of course, if you can help me, it would be best if we could make a movie together~"
"Um~ I'm the same as you, Sister Mi. After the end of Three Lives, Three Worlds, I'll be filming a movie, and then I'll be filming a TV series produced by the company. I don't have any suitable film plans for the time being."
Gu Wei explained.
"Okay~ I know you have your own plans. I just hope that if you find a suitable role in the future, don't forget to look for me."
Yang Mi rolled his eyes at him and said.
Gu Wei was eating while thinking. It seemed that he had read a report before. It was a reporter interviewing Yang Mi and asking her what her goal was as an actor. Her answer at that time was that she hoped to become a "People's Art Actress".
After that, she tried hard to do it. Later, Yang Mi starred in a documentary-style literary film "Baby" for free. For this purpose, she deliberately dressed herself ugly just to show her acting skills.
But the end result is not as arbitrary as it could be.
Now that his career is developing so smoothly, Yang Mi has the illusion that he can do it, and plans to start realizing his dream of becoming a "people's performing artist"?
Gu Wei couldn't say anything about this kind of thing. Having dreams is a good thing, and he couldn't discourage the other party.
You can’t even say, “Your acting is terrible. Forget about this kind of thing. It’s good to make money from it!”
Just support her. When she hits the wall and gets a bump all over her head, Gu Wei can come forward to help rub it and comfort her by saying, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt~"
After finishing the meal and drinking half a bottle of red wine, Yang Mi's fair cheeks turned red.
He reached out and pulled gently, and she collapsed into Gu Wei's arms.
The skirt that Da Mimi is wearing tonight is made of silk. Not only is the fabric light and thin, but it also feels particularly good.
"Sister Mi, I'm still thinking about a question today~"
Gu Wei whispered in her ear.
"What are you thinking about?"
Yang Mi looked curious.
"After our movie breaks 1 billion, what request can I make to you?"
Gu Wei smiled mischievously.
"Then you should think about it quickly, maybe one day I won't keep my word~"
Yang Mi's voice at this time was soft and charming, and her eyes were captivating.
"In that case, I have to collect some interest in advance today, so as not to end up with nothing."
As he spoke, Gu Wei gently picked her up with both hands, bent down to kiss her, and then walked towards the bedroom.
The night is beautiful tonight, with a bright moon hanging high in the sky and a clear blue sky without any clouds.
After nightfall, everything is quiet.
The public areas of the Jinmao Mansion community were empty. Everyone had gone home to sleep. Occasionally, two wild cats would meow, adding a bit of life to the empty environment.
There was still some snow in the community that had not melted, and the property staff cleaned it up and piled it up, making it white and big.
The kitten jumped on it and found it very soft.
Most of the plants have withered in winter, but the evergreen pines and cypresses are still crisp, with some snow on their branches. The night wind blows, and the branches sway from side to side, and the leaves rustle.
After a long time, the wind died down and everything returned to calm.
