Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 670: The shock caused by one sentence

That night.

The interview speeches of Gu Wei, Zhang Yimou and others appeared in the country. The media headed by the Sixth Princess got the exclusive rights, which instantly attracted the attention of a large number of netizens.

In China, on the set of “The Journey of Flower”, Zhao Liying was happily playing games when she suddenly saw her assistant holding a cell phone and waving at her.

Seeing this, Zhao Liying could only greet the director, then walked over and said nonchalantly: "What's wrong? Did the sky fall? Look at you just now, your face was completely dark!"

"The sky is really falling!" Assistant Song Ya stamped her feet anxiously and handed over the phone, "Look for yourself, the company is publicly selecting the actors for Director Gu's next movie."

Zhao Liying felt a little dizzy. The public casting call meant that the company had given up on confirming the role internally.

"The boss won't be dissatisfied with us, otherwise there would be no reason to give such good resources to outsiders." The assistant said anxiously.

"No, the boss must have his own reasons for doing this." Zhao Liying murmured to herself.

The assistant bit her lip and said after a while, "Why don't you ask Sister Hua to see if she can talk to the boss and reserve an important role for you?"

Zhao Liying knew Gu Wei's rules for filming, but ever since she heard from the company that his next movie might be a domestic film, she has already rejected several scripts in addition to "The Journey of Flower" designated by the company.

The reason I did this was to free up my schedule and look forward to working with Gu Wei.

Hengdian.

On the set of the costume drama "The Legend of Ban Shu", Jing Tian, ​​who was filming, got the news from his assistant and his first reaction was quite excited.

She knew that Gu Wei was not optimistic about her acting skills and she had never worked with him in person. But last time in Beverly Hills, Gu Wei's praise for her gave Jing Tian hope again.

Moreover, it is a domestic blockbuster directed by Director Gu himself, and he gave up such a good resource without even fighting for it, which makes him feel unwilling.

Thinking of this, Jing Tian invited the agent arranged by Lu Zheng to the nanny car and told her that Xingchen Film and Television Company was publicly preparing to select the role for Gu Wei's next movie.

The agent frowned slightly, "Although I haven't had much contact with Director Gu, I can see that he is a person who is difficult to shake once he has made up his mind.

Although Mr. Lu has cooperated with Xingchen Film and Television Company several times, others think that you can also get the upper hand by being close to the water.

But once the casting call was open, it proved that in Director Gu's mind, he needed actors with good acting skills who could drive box office sales."

After finishing speaking, the agent immediately glanced at Jingtian. He had just told the truth and was afraid that the little princess would be unhappy.

Unfortunately, when Jing Tian heard what his agent said, his mind was full of his mediocre acting skills, and he didn't pay attention to the following few words.

Jing Tian was quite unwilling, "Is there no other way?"

Although she couldn't ask Gu Wei directly for a role, she was unwilling to let someone else snatch away the best resources in the second half of the domestic entertainment industry!
Top international blockbusters, Chinese-language films!

Once you perform well, it may directly determine whether you can become an international superstar, which can directly affect your future!
The agent thought for a moment and said, "I heard that you had a good relationship with Director Wu Ershan when you were filming "Special Identity" before, and now you have accepted Director Ning's "Heart Flower Road". Why don't you talk to them and see if you can say hello to Director Gu and get a role."

Jing Tian nodded, and then seemed to have thought of something: "This is not a good idea. Director Gu certainly doesn't like actors using backdoors." At the end, there was a hint of desolation in his tone.
Seeing the strange look in his agent's eyes, Jing Tian continued, "Director Gu's personality looks very enthusiastic, but in private I think he is quite cold..."

The agent couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this: "Hey, my dear, I just asked you to say hello to Director Wu and Director Ning, not to bribe Director Gu. Besides, what can a big director like him lack?"

After finishing speaking, the agent carefully looked at Jing Tian and said, "Well, she looks perfect, a typical white, rich and beautiful girl, and has a good personality, but her brain seems to be a little bit slow."

Seeing the other party's eyes, Jingtian felt a little uncomfortable, and guessed in his mind that the agent would not come up with any "sacrifice" ideas.

In order to prevent the other party from saying the following words, Jing Tian immediately said, "The relationship between Director Wu Ershan and Director Gu has deteriorated. There are rumors that he will leave Xingchen Film and Television after filming Painted Skin 3. It is definitely useless to talk to him. It may even disgust Director Gu."

"Well, that's really possible." The agent also reacted, "Then when you join the crew of "Heart Flower Road", you should get along well with Ning Hao and work harder during filming. Maybe you can impress him..."

Hearing this suggestion, Jingtian's eyes lit up, as if he had found a good idea. "Let's do it, come on, Tiantian!" He said with a gesture!

The agent knew at a glance that the little princess was immersed in her own world again.

As for Tong Liya, she has some expectations. She has the best relationship with the boss among all the female artists under the company, and her future works will have both box office success and good word of mouth. The key is that netizens think her acting skills are pretty good.

Moreover, ever since she asked Gu Wei for a role last time, she has been in frequent private contact with Gu Wei, and the other party will tell her everything. As far as Tong Liya knows, only herself and Qin Hao have such treatment in the company.

So if Gu Wei really wants to have a new project, Tong Liya thinks she has a great advantage. Thinking of this, she decided to hold off for now, but the scripts recommended by Sister Hua can be put aside for the time being.

The key is that there is a ready-made reason. He has just finished "One Step Away" and plans to take a break for a while. Moreover, this movie will be released at the end of the year. According to director Jiang Wen's personality, it is estimated that the promotion will start from the second half of the year.

After thinking about it, Tong Liya called herself a little genius.

The same situation was happening in many film crews, which was something Gu Wei had not expected.

Ever since the news came from across the ocean that director Gu Wei's next film would be open for casting, the only people who were depressed were Zhao Liying and Jing Tian.

Many people in the industry also have different thoughts. Hu Jun, Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun, Liu Ye, Yang Zi and others who have worked with Gu Wei before are naturally thinking about whether there is a chance to work with him again. Those who have not worked with him before are trying every possible way and thinking hard about how to get the role.

Yang Mi was naturally one of them, but she was worried that she had taken on too many roles, and big directors generally hated actors having multiple roles at the same time. If Gu Wei knew about this, the probability of her being selected would be very low.

To be honest, she wanted to hide it, but the problem was that the competition was so fierce, there would definitely be a "slut" who would tell tales!
Tang Yan only knew Gu Wei because of Hu Ge, but this did not affect his desire to get involved.

.........

Famous artists in the domestic entertainment industry are trying to find out specific inside information in private, but netizens are discussing it openly.

"Didn't Xingchen Films just finish filming Wolf Warrior? Why are they making another military-themed movie?"

Qi Lingyun: "Are you blind? Didn't you see that the news reported a military science fiction blockbuster? It's terrible to be uneducated."

Ending: "Oh, like Star Wars?"

Tiger climbing a tree: "Go to hell, the Star Wars series of movies are not completely equivalent to military science fiction movies, but comprehensive science fiction works that contain multiple elements and themes."

Lord of the Nine Netherworlds: "Anyway, no matter what the subject is, start it quickly."

Knight 123: "It was previously revealed that Director Gu invited Zhao Wenzhuo to star in his next movie. It won't be this one. To be honest, Zhao does look a bit like a soldier."

Netizen 9525: "Who cares? Anyway, I believe Director Gu will not choose young actors. The actors who star in this movie must be talented actors."

Ting Feng Nian Jiu Yan: "Gu Wei has forgotten Yi Fei, I haven't seen Yi Fei's new film for a long time."

Seeing this, the South Korean Entertainment Alliance was furious.

So South Korean artists could only mobilize their influence in the mainland and call on fans to remain calm. Some radical artists even clamored for fans to boycott Gu Wei.

But what was unexpected was that many fans of South Korean artists stopped following them. After this operation, the South Korean side felt like everything was going to go wrong and it was all over.

Seeing this result, Gu Wei, who is on the other side of the ocean, was very pleased and directly posted on Weibo: "Chinese people, Chinese heart!"

Afterwards, he even called Chen Daoming and others to have a chat. After all, in this war of public opinion, the older generation of artists, led by Chen Daoming, have always been fighting on the front line.

In response to the appeals from South Korean artists, many people called on fans to support Gu Wei and Zhang Yimou who have brought glory to the country. And most importantly, Chinese people always have their own bottom line and are principled when it comes to major issues.

...

at the same time.

South Korea.

The movie "New World", a collaboration between CJ Entertainment and Star Films, was also released as scheduled.

As expected, due to Gu Wei's anti-Korean remarks, the film had mediocre box office in South Korea, and even a large number of Koreans publicly called for a boycott of the film.

"Mr. Gu, we have invested a lot of money and resources, and this expectation is unacceptable to me." The head of CJ Entertainment Company spoke with deep helplessness in his tone.

The key point is that the movie that was originally able to make money has now turned into a loss-making movie. The consortium behind CJ cannot accept this. In the past two days, just dealing with the "fathers" at the top has made him exhausted.

"Haha, making movies means there are profits and losses. You can't just give me less money when you make money and let me take responsibility when you lose money. Besides, I've invested a lot, and I haven't said anything about you yet. If you lose money, you're the one to blame. You're such a jinx."

Gu Wei's tone gradually became fierce. He didn't take the CJ Company seriously at all. To put it bluntly, he could defeat the opponent with only his third leg without using his four limbs.

"you……"

"Okay, have someone come over to sign the contract and prepare to release "New World" in North America. Remember, I want 60% of the profits in the new agreement." Gu Wei waved his hand and said disdainfully.

The subject matter of "New World" is indeed good. Gu Wei had thought about releasing it in Hollywood before, and using this movie to test the strength of the theater chain that cooperates with Tomorrow's Star Film and Television, killing two birds with one stone.

"But..." The other party was somewhat unwilling and felt that he had been cheated.

"Don't talk nonsense. Remember, you just need to sign and leave the rest to me. Otherwise, don't even think about getting a penny." After saying that, Gu Wei hung up the phone.

As for whether the other party is willing to cooperate, Gu Wei is not worried at all. After losing so much, he can let the person in charge of Xijie Company "sell his ass" to make money.

However, when the movie "New World" was introduced into the mainland through websites, pirated videotapes and DVDs, many netizens exclaimed that it was wonderful.

Its leading actors Choi Min-sik, Hwang Jung-min, Lee Jung-jae, Park Sung-woong and others have gained many fans in mainland China.

In particular, Hwang Jung-min was awarded the title of "Elevator God", which was something Gu Wei had not expected.

I can only say that everything is cause and effect...
