Chapter 736 Celebration Banquet

capital.

The "Wolf Warrior" celebration banquet scheduled for November 11th, hosted by Xingchen Film and Television Company, is destined to be a grand ceremony in the film and television industry.

At the Platinum Hotel, the celebration party for the "Wolf Warrior" box office exceeding 1.8 billion was held as scheduled.

At this moment, the hotel banquet hall is filled with bigwigs and stars.

In addition to the main stars of the drama, Zhao Liying, Tong Liya, Han Dongjun, Qin Hao, Chen Minghao, Wan Qian and others from Xingchen Film and Television Company also attended the event.

Big stars like Fan Binbin and Li Binbin also came to show their support, as well as young actresses like Jing Tian, ​​Yang Mi, and Liu Shishi.

As for the artists under Shiba Culture Company, there were too many of them, including Bai Baihe, Ren Quan and a large number of others.

Many bigwigs from the industry also came. Some of them came for Gu Wei's face, while others came for Wu Jing.

In the past, how many people knew Wu Jing?

But it’s different now. Just for the reputation of “Wolf Warrior” and the title of the second billion-dollar director, Wu Jing is worth winning over.

What's more, Wu Jing and Gu Wei are just partners, so many people think that as long as the conditions are high enough, it may not be impossible to win Wu Jing over. Isn't Wuershan the best example?

Before Gu Wei and Liu Yifei came over, a small incident occurred at the celebration banquet.

Wu Jing revealed some interesting things during an interview with reporters.

In an interview, Wu Jing reiterated: "Without the help of Director Gu Wei, there would be no Wolf Warriors today."

A reporter from China Film Report asked: How big is the influence of Director Gu Wei on the film?
Wu Jing smiled and said, "A lot, let's put it this way! Seeing the finished film now and thinking about the first draft of the script, I feel like I can't bear to watch it!"

The reporter was surprised: "You mean the script has been revised many times?"

"Indeed."

The reporter laughed, "So the script was mainly the opinion of Director Gu Wei?"

Wu Jing nodded, "As for the special effects, he contributed the most, such as how to shoot specifically... how to create a grand scene..."

"Overall, the movie has a lot of big scenes, and netizens commented that it was very touching..."

As Wu Jing continued his narration, the reporter kept nodding his head, unable to conceal his excitement as he said, "Indeed, when I saw those scenes on the big screen, I really felt a lump in my throat for a moment."

In fact, Wu Jing said these words in the interview in response to some rumors on the Internet.

When "Wolf Warrior" just became a box office hit, many people on the Internet said that the movie was all thanks to Gu Wei. At that time, Wu Jing was interviewed and said Gu Wei's original words, which gradually calmed down the discussions of netizens.

But now that the box office of "Wolf Warrior" has exceeded 1.8 billion, people in the circle have begun to mobilize the media in order to recruit Wu Jing, directly praising Wu Jing and ignoring Gu Wei's contribution.

For this reason, Wu Jing had to emphasize again that he had received help from Gu Wei and the company in order to dispel some people's ideas.

...

Almost all the directors under Xingchen Film and Television Company were present at the venue, except Xu Zheng who was still filming in Hong Kong Island.

It has to be said that the saying "outsiders are better at chanting sutras" never gets out of date. As soon as Matt Damon arrived, Zhang Ziyi, Huang Xiaoming, Li Binbin, Fan Binbin and others all greeted and talked to him.

The people he talked to the most were Zhang Ziyi, Fan Binbin and Li Binbin. After all, they have all worked in Hollywood, and these people have their own conflicts in private, so they seem to be unwilling to give in to each other in public.

"Big Brother and Hua Brother are here."

Someone shouted, and many people's eyes were drawn to Cheng Long and Liu Dehua who had just walked in.

After they came in, they went straight to Wu Jing and said with a smile, "Director Wu, congratulations on becoming a 1.8 billion director."

"Brother, Brother Hua, you are so polite. Please come this way." Wu Jing looked at the two enthusiastic men and felt a little uncomfortable. He had been in the Hong Kong circle for so many years, but it was not as successful as making a movie now.

Gu Wei and Liu Yifei arrived at the right time. Last night the young lady used all her skills to teach him a lesson, and Gu Wei was defeated in the end.

So much so that Miss Liu said she wanted to go to Cannes. Gu Wei thought about it for a whole day and had to modify the script of "Manchester by the Sea" and let the young lady play a role.

As for whether she will be the heroine, it cannot be confirmed yet. After all, Gu Wei wants to make a Chinese-language film to compete in Cannes later, but Miss Liu is unwilling to wait that long.

"Director Gu, Yifei."

"Director Gu, Yifei."

There was an endless stream of greetings, and Gu Wei and Liu Yifei were smiling and waving almost the entire time.

Matt was having a nice chat with Li Binbin over there, but when he saw Gu Wei and Liu Yifei, he immediately said sorry to them and walked straight towards them.

"Tsk tsk, Director Gu is so popular that even Hollywood stars are flocking to him."

"Don't you know who invited them to come? Don't you know what's going on?"

As more and more people came, the voices of chatting and discussing in the venue became louder and louder.

Matt Damon walked over to Gu Wei, hugged him, and then sat down. After learning that Liu Yifei might also star in "Manchester by the Sea", he immediately became interested and the two of them started talking in a low voice. "Crystal, have you read the full script?"

"Ah, not yet." Liu Yifei turned her head and glanced at Gu Wei with a resentful expression on her face.

"Haha, I'll send you a copy after the cocktail party. It also contains my summary and insights of these days." Matt Damon said with a smile.

"well, thanks."

Seeing the two people chatting enthusiastically, Gu Wei shook his head helplessly, stood up and started chatting with the people who came over to say hello.

...

"Director Gu, thank you for your recommendation. It shouldn't be a big problem, haha."

This was the first thing Liu Dehua said when he came over, which made Cheng Long next to him think for a moment, but he understood it immediately.

Thinking about not getting the leading actor, Cheng Long suddenly felt a little regretful and said in a joking tone: "If I had known earlier, I would have gone to Director Gu, maybe I would have gotten something, haha."

Hearing this, Gu Wei said, "Brother, I can help recommend Brother Hua's role, but the role you want does not count."

"Yes, I understand. I heard that it was decided by Universal and Legendary. There is nothing we can do. Director Zhang cannot refuse the request of the investors."

A large number of film projects are launched in the circle every day. If one project cannot be obtained, another one will be switched. Jackie Chan has experienced so much, and nothing can make him particularly concerned.

After chatting for a while, they talked about the current situation.

"Hey, a bunch of people are just bored." Cheng Long spoke directly.

"Oh." Liu Dehua also sighed.

"If you need any help during this period, just let me know." Gu Wei nodded, also making his attitude clear.

"Director Gu, you are in such a high position. If you need our help, just let us know." Cheng Long immediately expressed his attitude.

"Director Gu, me too. Feel free to talk if you need anything." Liu Dehua followed closely.

Cheng Long and Liu Dehua spoke out in advance, but their attitudes are unquestionable.

Gu Wei only knew that the problem would be solved, but he didn't know how to solve it specifically. However, if his superiors required him to take action, he would definitely do it without hesitation.

After chatting for a while, the two had just left when Lu Zheng came over with Jing Tian.

They chatted with Wu Jing for a few words first, and when they saw that Gu Wei had some free time, they immediately took the opportunity to join in.

"Director Gu, congratulations on the big sale of the movie produced by Xingchen Films. Tiantian, why don't you say hello?" Lu Zheng said with a smile.

"Director Gu." Jing Tian immediately said obediently after hearing that.

"Tiantian, how was the audition?"

Liu Yifei, who was standing next to him, heard Gu Wei calling "Tiantian" and immediately looked up at him.

"It's, it's okay." Jingtian didn't understand any of this and could only say this.

"I think it shouldn't be a big problem, haha." Lu Zheng continued, but he was not completely sure at the same time.

"Oh, really? That's good." Gu Wei gave a meaningful look.

In the original time and space, Jing Tian was the heroine. That was because "The Great Wall" was producer-centered at the time, but now it has become a director-centered system. He doesn't think Jing Tian can easily let Zhang Yimou choose her.

Lu Zheng felt uneasy when Gu Wei looked at him, so he took Jing Tian away after a few words of greeting.

……

Around seven o'clock in the evening, most of the invited guests arrived and the atmosphere at the venue gradually reached its climax.

On the stage, inside a huge block of ice, was a card with the words “18 billion” written on it.

Standing at the main seat were Wu Jing and Gu Wei, followed by Xie Nan and Liu Yifei, with two representatives from Jinling Art Center next to them.

As the ice was broken by a hammer, the celebration party for "Wolf Warrior" officially began!
Meanwhile, the outside world.

The news that Matt Damon attended the celebration party for "Wolf Warrior" in a high-profile manner became a hot topic on Weibo and entertainment headlines in less than an hour.

You know, in the past, it was rare for Hollywood's first-line actors or stars to attend celebration banquets for Chinese-language films.

There was a lot of heated discussion in the circle and on the Internet, and everyone was lamenting Gu Wei's powerful network of contacts. After all, apart from him, no one else could have invited Matt Damon.

The celebration banquet lasted until the early morning. After returning home, although Gu Wei was a little drunk, his mind was clear.

I have basically finished all the things I have to do. The most important thing next is the wedding...
