Chapter 721: Deception after deception
After returning home, Gu Wei and his little sister finished their dinner.

Then he went to the study alone to think about the company's listing, and at the same time he was also thinking about the equity agreements with the directors and management.

In fact, at present, Xingchen Film and Television Company has developed to a certain level and is in a bottleneck period. The overall strength of the non-listed company is restricted, which greatly affects its development.

Moreover, the company has not been listed for a long time, which has caused a lot of discussion within the company.

Thinking of this, Gu Wei felt that it was time to consider this matter.

Otherwise, in an environment where people's minds change, who knows who will leave one day. After all, "big promises" cannot be eaten, and no one will be willing to work for nothing if they can't see any actual benefits.

"What's wrong?" Liu Yifei's voice interrupted Gu Wei's thoughts at the study door.

"It's okay, I just have a lot of things to do recently, so I'm sorting them out." Gu Wei said with a smile.

"Hey, don't be so sad." Miss Liu sat on Gu Wei's lap and said softly, and then seemed to think of something, "Let's go to the set of Lost in Hong Kong, just to relax."

"Huh? It's not safe over there recently. Why did you think of going there?" Gu Wei looked at the young lady in surprise.

"The company hasn't finished filming 'Lost in Hong Kong' yet, and I don't want to go out for a trip, so I might as well go to Hong Kong Island." Miss Liu's face was full of smiles.

"Okay, then I'll ask my assistant to book the plane tickets and leave tomorrow to give them a surprise." Gu Wei agreed immediately.

"Okay, I'll give you a surprise tonight. Come on, follow me into the house."

"Hehe, who's afraid of who?" After saying that, Gu Wei picked up Miss Liu and walked towards the room.

As soon as he entered the room, Gu Wei threw her onto the soft bed and pounced on her.

Suddenly, an ensemble of yin and yang of heaven and earth rang out in the room. It was pleasant to the ears and interpreted the ultimate truth of the world.

...

The next morning.

Before leaving, Ning Hao called Gu Wei to have a chat.

"Someone has been approaching me privately recently, with the intention of investing in my studio, upgrading it to a company, and then launching it for a successful listing."

"It's up to you. I won't interfere. But I still suggest you wait. The company will have big moves next year." Gu Wei said on the phone.

"Okay, then wait a minute. But I heard that you've been busy lately, so take care of yourself." Ning Hao said with concern.

"It's nothing. I just have to prepare for the wedding recently. Plus, there's a new movie coming out, and the company also has a movie coming out, so it all came together."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Wei suddenly thought that there must be someone who would have the time to take over "The Mojin".

That’s right, Gu Wei thought of Jiang Wen.

This famous director has been trying to persuade Gu Wei to play the leading role in his next movie.

"In that case, how about an equal exchange?" Gu Wei thought silently in his heart, but the male protagonist definitely won't work because his appearance is not suitable.

"Haha, I'm a commercial film director and will soon become a 2 billion dollar director. You want me to direct a movie about tomb robbing? What are you thinking?" Jiang Wen muttered as soon as the call was connected.

"And aren't you afraid that I'll get back to my old ways and turn you into a horror movie?"

"Hehe, if you can guarantee that it passes the review, I will accept it even if it is made into a horror movie." Gu Wei joked directly on the phone.

"Forget it. I'm not someone who can pass the censorship for making a horror movie. I don't have that ability." Jiang Wen didn't fall for it at all.

"To be honest, I'd like to give you the second male lead role with a lot of scenes, on the condition that you direct 'Mojin: The Lost Tomb'. How about that?" Gu Wei directly stated the conditions.

"Screw you, let me play a supporting role, no way."

"Well, forget it. It's a blockbuster movie with an investment of 200 to 300 million US dollars. Maybe it will even be nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Oscars. What a pity..."

Seeing that the other party was not taking the bait, Gu Wei began...

"Hahaha, your method doesn't work on me. When I was fooling you, you hadn't even graduated from junior high school." Gu Wei's words made Jiang Wen laugh.

"That's right, Director Jiang thinks money and honor are nothing. Forget it, I'll think about someone else."

In the waiting room, Liu Yifei laughed so hard that her stomach hurt when she heard Gu Wei's words.

"Well, let me have a look at the script. I'll help you see if there's anything that needs to be revised."

"Agree?" Gu Wei didn't expect that it would be so easy to convince the other party, and a smile appeared on his face.

"You're just fooling me. I'm just helping you revise the script, but I didn't promise you anything. It would be better if you could invest hundreds of millions of dollars to shoot it."

"What the hell are you dreaming about? I would be uncomfortable if I used hundreds of millions of dollars to buy planes and yachts. You're investing hundreds of millions of dollars to make a tomb-raiding film. Do you think I'm those two sand dollars?" Gu Wei was amused.

"Those two sand dollars are just to attract some attention. Where do they get so much money to make a movie? Hahaha!"

"I'll have someone bring you the script."

"I didn't agree to that."

"hehe."

.........

“Don’t blame yourself for not having good people around you. When you become famous, you will be surrounded by good people.” As the most popular male star in the domestic entertainment industry, Huang Bo once said something that revealed the naked rule of survival in the entertainment industry.

As a man of average or even ugly appearance, the impression that Huang Bo has left on the audience over the years can be described in just three words: "good acting skills".

Just like what Gu Wei said to Liu Yifei before: "No one in the same age group in the domestic entertainment industry can surpass Huang Bo in acting skills.

The only thing that can limit him is his appearance. Apart from his appearance, he can handle any type of role."

It has to be said that with Gu Wei's current status, when he said this, it caused quite a stir in the circle. Huang Bo even called to secretly flatter Gu Wei and thank him for his compliment.

The story of the movie "Lost in Hong Kong" is very simple and can be roughly summarized as follows:

Xu Lai (Xu Zheng) once dreamed of becoming a painter, but now he has become a cannon fodder for his ideal, working as a senior designer in an underwear company.

This underwear company was opened by my father-in-law, and he was a son-in-law who married into the family.

Therefore, Xu Lai endured the humiliation of the big family and the fate of his wife Cai Bo biting him for not being able to give birth to a child. However, in his heart he looked down on this vulgar family and blamed them for the collapse of his ideals.

Suddenly, at a university reunion, Xu Lai heard his classmates talking about his first love, Yang Yi (Du Juan), who was said to be holding an art exhibition in Hong Kong. Suddenly, Xu Lai was distracted.

Coincidentally, he is accompanying his wife and family to Hong Kong for a few days, so he plans to secretly meet Yang Yi, whom he has not seen for many years. Unexpectedly, he is entangled by his brother-in-law Cai Lala (played by Wang Baoqiang). Lala is a movie fanatic. In order to become a director and win an Oscar, he is filming a documentary with family as the theme.

While meeting their first love, the two were unknowingly involved in a murder case of falling from a building, and the date trip turned into a thrilling adventure and escape.

In the original time and space, the role of Cai Lala was played by Bao Beier of Guangguang. Now, with the original cast remaining the same, it is played by Wang Baoqiang, and Huang Bo plays a villain, the kind that represents humor.

Jing Tian replaced Du Juan and played the male protagonist's wife.

The whole movie continues the comedy style of the "囧 series", focusing on humor and comedy.

The filming location of "Lost in Hong Kong" was chosen to be Hong Kong Island. After all, it has the word "Hong Kong" in it. Even though Xu Zheng knew that Gu Wei was a little annoyed with the people in Hong Kong Island, after careful consideration, he still decided to visit the attractions here. The main scenes are at the InterContinental Hong Kong Island Hotel and the Sky100 Observation Deck.

In addition, the movie also showcases other landmarks of Hong Kong Island, such as the Star Ferry and double-decker buses. I believe that after the movie is released, these scenes will also become popular spots for tourists to find the filming locations of "Lost in Hong Kong".

It can be said that Gu Wei has also contributed to the tourism industry of Hong Kong Island.

Even La Peikang praised Gu Wei for his broad-mindedness and ability to unite his comrades.

The filming of the movie is currently more than halfway completed and is expected to be completed before the end of the year.

When Gu Wei and Liu Yifei arrived, the crew had already moved from the InterContinental Hong Kong Island to the Sky100 Observation Deck.

The observation deck is 393 meters high and is the only indoor observation deck that offers a 360-degree aerial view of the entire Hong Kong landscape.

To be honest, Gu Wei was a little afraid of heights, so when he was riding the elevator, he couldn't help but squeeze Miss Liu's hand tightly as he felt the height rising.

"Haha, is it that scary?" Liu Yifei pursed her lips and teased with a smile.

"It's not that I'm nervous, it's that I feel suffocated." Gu Wei was no longer pretending at this moment. He regretted very much his decision to come and visit the set, especially regretting agreeing to let Liu Yifei come to the scene.

"Ding." The elevator door opened, fresh air rushed in, and Gu Wei felt much better instantly.

When I looked up, I saw a large group of people standing not far from the elevator door.

The three male protagonists Xu Zheng, Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang are definitely there, next to them is Jing Tian, ​​and slightly behind them are Hong Kong actors Lee Chien-sen, Lam Suet, Shi Pomegranate Sister and others.

"director."

"Yifei."

"Director Gu."

"Sister Yifei!"

As soon as they met, they started calling each other all kinds of names. Those who were familiar with her, such as Xu Zheng, Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang, just called her director and Yifei to show their closeness.

Li Cansen and his friends, who had never met Gu Wei and Liu Yifei before, greeted them in a very polite manner, not daring to overstep the mark in the slightest.

Jingtian called Yifei "Sister", and Liu Yifei responded with a smile.

Don’t underestimate these titles. The entertainment industry is sometimes very casual, but sometimes attaches great importance to rules.

"Hello everyone, thank you for your hard work during this period."

"Puchi." Liu Yifei next to him suddenly laughed. She felt that what Gu Wei said was similar to what cadres said when they went to the grassroots to express their condolences.

Fortunately, Xu Zheng reacted quickly, replied directly, and then introduced several Hong Kong artists to Gu Wei.

The other party kept on being polite, and Gu Wei nodded and responded with a smile.

The news that Gu Wei and Liu Yifei landed in Hong Kong Island was on the news in less than half an hour, and it was a follow-up report.

"The famous director from the mainland and the best director at the Oscars arrived in Hong Kong today..."

"Mainland famous director Gu Wei and Liu Yifei visited the set of "Lost in Hong Kong"..."

"Director Gu Wei went to Hong Kong, suspected to be starting a new collaboration with Emperor Entertainment Group..."
