CEE started with Nortel lecturers

Chapter 288 The assistant also has big ambitions

Ah this?

Chen Yao never expected that on the first day he met his idol, he would not only eat from him, but even sleep with him. Thinking about it, he was a little excited!

Although it was not appropriate for a girl to stay at a man's house casually, considering that it was Teacher Gu, it wasn't so particular. Chen Yao agreed after pretending to be hesitant.

However, she was a little surprised after learning that Bai Lu also lived in Gu Zhongyu's house. But her identity was an assistant, and it should be considered normal for celebrities in the entertainment industry to live with their assistants, right?

When Chen Yao came to Gu Zhongyu's house, she was shocked by this luxurious villa. Her parents were ordinary civil servants. Her family could only be said to be well-off, not the rich second generation. She had never lived in such a nice house since she was a child. .

"There are new toiletries and clothes. Bai Lu will take you to get them. If you don't have the right size, just make a call and someone will deliver them..."

"Although you are an adult, you still need to inform your parents. You can go back to your hometown to discuss it. You should take this card first. The company will pay you a basic salary every month. Before you enter school, Before filming, you can stay with me first, or the company also allocates artist dormitories, you can choose..."

Chen Yao, who has a beautiful figure and a lolita face, followed Gu Zhongyu Bailu upstairs and looked around, feeling like he was in a dream.

What Gu Zhongyu was thinking at this moment was that in the future Tang Ren would be missing Chen Yao, plus Liu Shishi and Nazha from before, would he have to rely on people like Li Landi and Jin Chen to support his appearance in the future?

He also changed the fate of this young lady. She was originally the one who was least valued among Tang Ren's little flowers. She was so confused that people thought she was hidden in the snow.

But from now on, she enters Gu Zhongyu's house...Okay, girl, you will also be a star with someone behind your back.

Just as Gu Zhongyu was introducing her, Dundun jumped out of nowhere with her short legs. The little guy had enjoyed all the happiness in Liu Yufei's house, but how could Gu Zhongyu make it so comfortable? He still asked Bai Lu to give it to her. It slipped out.

So Dundun is very angry now, and the consequences will be very serious. He wants revenge. He wants to go over and step on the smelly feet with his cat paw!

It's a pity that as soon as he arrived, Bai Lu, who had quick eyes and quick hands, hugged him...

"Teacher Gu, is this the cat you carry with you wherever you go?"

Chen Yao asked curiously. She was a fan of Gu Zhongyu and was no stranger to his cats. She knew that he would take the little guy with him wherever he went to film.

"Yes, his name is Dundun, and no one at home usually takes care of him. Anyway, it's not troublesome to carry a cat bag and drag a suitcase, so I might as well take it with me."

Bai Lu was not happy when she heard this. Please, I am the one carrying the cat bag and dragging the suitcase! Of course you won't find it troublesome.

"Okay, you two girls go play! I'm going to write something." Gu Zhongyu sent the two of them to other rooms and returned to the study. He wanted to think about what to shoot next.

~

In Bai Lu's room, the two of them were lying on the bed. Chen Yao stretched out his hand and touched Dundun's head: "I also like cats. I even raised them when I was a child, but my parents didn't like them and they stopped me from raising them after I went to school. .”

"You're not allowed to take the art exam, and you're not allowed to raise a cat. Are your parents very strict with you?" Bai Lu asked with a hint of distress.

Bai Lu has been pampered by her parents since she was a child. She has everything she wants, and their education is relatively tolerant and open-minded, so she has developed an optimistic personality. After hearing what happened to Chen Yao, she thought she was the kind of person who has been with her since she was a child. Strictly disciplined children.

"They were quite strict. Just like when I was a child, I remember I was beaten all the time."

"So miserable? My parents never beat me. In fact, my mother is the one who takes care of me. My father works in the railway department and doesn't have many opportunities to see me. How can he be willing to beat me!"

"It's not tragic, the main thing is to scare." Chen Yao thought about this and said thoughtfully, "Actually, I understand them now, because to be honest, my personality was similar to that of a boy when I was a child. If I didn't get beaten, I would When the time comes, it will go to heaven!”

"So you've been in Yanjing for a month. Have you contacted your parents?"

"I send messages every day to let them know what I'm doing now. As for the phone calls, I haven't made any calls yet. I'm afraid that if I open my mouth, I'll have to quarrel with them again. Let's wait until we meet in person!"

Anyway, she was determined, and with Gu Zhongyu's help, Chen Yao was no longer afraid. Looking at Bai Lu who kept asking questions, she also asked a question that she had hidden for a long time: "Sister Bai Lu, is the entertainment industry in chaos?" ah?"

"A little bit, but it's not as exaggerated as the paparazzi said. As long as you don't waver, these chaos have nothing to do with you. Anyway, just be yourself."

"So how is Mr. Gu's daily life? There are so many scandals about him, so they shouldn't all be false, right?"

"Well..." Not only is it not entirely false, it should be said that most of it is true.

Chen Duling asked a similar question not long ago, so Bai Lu had to repeat it. Anyway, the core idea is that Gu Zhongyu is too good. Even if he doesn't look for flowers, there will be many women rushing towards him, and they can't even hide...

"What about you, Sister Bai Lu?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"Do you have anything to do with Teacher Gu?"

Bai Lu sat up all of a sudden. She asked herself that she and Gu Zhongyu had not done anything too intimate in front of others, so she was surprised: "Why do you think so?"

"Looking at your reaction, I know I guessed it right. When we were eating just now, Teacher Gu wiped your mouth for you. The action was very natural and you enjoyed it with peace of mind. This is not like something a celebrity would do for a little assistant. What's more, Not to mention that he wants to support you in filming."

"I really underestimated you!" Bai Lu didn't expect that this girl was much smarter than she thought. Originally, the boss meant to induce her step by step, but now it seems that this is not necessary.

Bai Lu lay on the bow of the boat, folding her hands on her chest, and said nonchalantly: "Yes, I have a relationship with the boss, so what? Lang Qingconcubine, are you not convinced?"

Chen Yao was a little shocked by her frankness: "Then did you rush up there too?"

"Yes! Otherwise, with my beauty, can the boss take the initiative to stretch out his claws on me? Do you want to know how we got along?" Bai Lu was not shy at all, and even wanted to tell some interesting things about her and the boss. Listen to her.

Of course, Bai Lu didn't have a idiosyncratic habit of exposing her privacy. As a roundworm in Gu Zhongyu's stomach, he knew what his boss was thinking about when he signed Chen Yao. Although she had good talent, after all, wasn't she still greedy for other people's bodies? So she naturally wanted to help her boss, go with the flow and try to save unnecessary processes. Compared with the simple and dull Chen Duling, Chen Yao who dared to go to Beijing alone was obviously a bolder person. Maybe she dared to take the initiative to take this step. It might be an important step.

After the work is completed, the boss will definitely thank her, and Chen Yao will become one of her own.

As Gu Zhongyu's assistant, Bai Lu was very sensitive to the fact that the boss's women tended to stick together to pull the mountain. She also had to plan ahead and make preparations in advance. Chen Duling and Chen Yao were both connections that she could win over, and they also had There is a Meng Ziyi, also to be determined.

More than a year ago, Bai Lu was still a carefree assistant who only wanted to be lazy and fish for fun. Now she has begun to have such deep scheming. The entertainment industry is really a big mess!

……

At this time in the study room, Gu Zhongyu was thinking about Zongheng Film and Television's next plan.

In terms of movies, in addition to "The Invisible Guest" that has been filmed, Zhou Xingxing's "Mermaid" and Wu Jin's "Wolf Warrior" are currently being filmed.

Last year, Zongheng Film and Television's three movies, "Ball Lightning", "Chinese Partner" and "Like You", grossed more than 2011 billion at the box office, and the profit was about billion. "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" didn't make much money. , but there are also tens of millions, and the business income from film and television dramas has increased by almost % compared with the same period in !

Coupled with the commission from the artist department and advertising revenue, the gross profit for the whole year of 2012 has reached 3.8 billion, and the net profit for shareholders has reached million.

Looking at the annual report of old rival Huayi Brothers, the company's net profit was only 2.4 million yuan, an increase of 20.47% over the same period last year. The total turnover reached 13.86 billion, and the film business revenue increased by 2011% compared with the same period in 197.96.

Judging from the financial annual reports of the two companies, Zongheng has surpassed Huayi Company.

But that's not how the accounts are calculated. The income of the Wang brothers is more than this. Their strategic layout is mainly in the two sectors of new media and cultural tourism. To put it bluntly, they are playing real estate.

In these days, any commercial company that has some spare money on hand will speculate in real estate. This matter of the Wang brothers is not new. Even Gu Zhongyu himself is crazy about buying houses. It's just that he is doing it alone and doesn't use much leverage. He will not let the company do these businesses. His main focus is still on the entertainment industry, and he does not want Zongheng to get too involved in the real estate field.

After all, the water here is too deep and the risks are high. It is easy to hit the red line if you are not careful. The subsequent decline of Wang Brothers Company was also related to this.

The Wang brothers have acquired more than 900 acres of land in Suzhou alone, and hold shares through brand licensing, dry shares, etc., which mainly include two parts: cinema, film culture and creativity, and boutique hotels. The cinema project alone is expected to be financed Just 30 billion yuan.

There is also the artist management and related service business. Currently, the total number of artists signed by Huayi has exceeded 100. Not only is the number more than Zongheng, but people like Huang Xiaoming, Li Binbin, and Zhang Hanyu can all be regarded as leading roles. Zongheng now mainly relies on Gu Zhongyu himself, Fan Binbin, Liu Shishi, Shen Teng, Zhang Ruoyun, Wan Qian, Zhu Yilong and others still need time to grow.

Moreover, Huayi is still a listed company, so in terms of real income, there is still a gap between Gu Zhongyu and the Wang brothers, but the difference is not much.

It will take time for Douyin to enter the market. Now it is a gold-eating beast. Coupled with the huge amount of promotion expenses required after the launch, Gu Zhongyu feels that this amount of money is not enough!

He now has to make some movies that will make a lot of money, and he will not touch TV series for the time being. The cycle is too long.

What kind of movies can easily make a lot of money?

Then we have to go back to comedy.

Gu Zhongyu tried it very early. He is not born to act in comedy. At least he is not comparable to people like Shen Teng and Zhou Xingxing. In other words, it is difficult for people who are too handsome to act in comedy.

In fact, Zhou Xingxing is not suitable to be a comedian based on his appearance, because he looks a bit handsome, but because he was still childish and naive when he was young, he will have a cute feeling when he acts, and his talent is truly unique, so Still achieved the title of comedy king,

As he got a little older, Zhou Xingxing's face became thinner during this period, the lines of his facial features began to become tougher, and there was a sense of vicissitudes between his eyebrows and eyes, which made him feel bitter when he smiled and a little serious when he didn't smile. In fact, This period is not suitable for acting in comedy. I have felt this way since "Shaolin Soccer".

So he later chose to retreat behind the scenes, which is also one of the important reasons.

The same goes for Shen Teng. When he was young, he looked talented and looked a bit cold and serious. It was only after he gained weight and gained fat on his face that he became a better comedian.

Even if Gu Zhongyu is willing to destroy his image, he may not be able to achieve his effect. If he forces himself to act in a comedy, the audience will not like it even if he doesn't say anything about it.

Deng Chao is the best example. He forced himself to perform comedy, and after the audience bought it once or twice to find it fresh, they soon became bored with it.

But this doesn't mean that he can't play comedies, such as the serious and overbearing president in "I Like You". He can easily play this kind of role, because this is an "unhappy" type of comedy role. As long as there are people to make things right, he can Just create a contrast or ironic effect.

Mindless and unhappy, almost all types of characters in comedies fall into these two categories.

For example, in "Detective Chinatown", Qin Feng, played by Liu Haoran, is a typical unhappy character. He has no comedy effect on his own, but when he stands with Wang Baoxiang's Tang Ren, this funny effect comes out.

In "People on the Road", Xu Zheng is unhappy, and Wang Baoxiang is brainless...

So Gu Zhongyu could play some comedy roles that were "unhappy" or did not require self-destruction. He thought about it for a long time, and then wrote down a movie name in his notebook.

"Heart in full bloom"

This is a comedy movie starring Xu Zheng and Huang Bo. It tells the story of Geng Hao who encounters an emotional crisis in his life. Faced with emotional betrayal, Geng Hao falls into inextricable pain. In order to help him get rid of the pain, his good gay friend Hao Yi, a pair of "runaway brothers" took a dog and started a funny and crazy journey of hunting for women.

A typical low-cost road comedy, it cost 3500 million and ended up with a box office of million. This was Gu Zhongyu's first choice, and Xu Zheng's role of Hao Yi happened to be the one he could play.

Because this is a playboy who goes wherever he goes, Gu Zhongyu's face is too convincing to act in this movie.

As for the role of Geng Hao, it must be Huang Bolai, because it requires a pitiful and cowardly look. The actress needs to be changed. I will go back to the company to see if there is any suitable personality. I must contact Ning Hao and Huang Bo early to make preparations.

At this time, Chen Yao quietly approached his study...
