Chapter 102: Little Poetry Master

The next morning, the media reported on Liu Yifei's coming-of-age ceremony.

"Liu Yifei's 18th birthday ceremony, everyone in the industry came to congratulate her."

"Many big shots gathered, including CEOs of several major film companies."

"Director Gu came back from Hollywood to celebrate Xiao Long Nu's birthday."

...

I don’t know if it was Liu Xiaoli’s arrangement, but Liu Yifei’s “godfather” did not show up, and subsequent reports did not mention him.

Due to Gu Wei's influence, the relationship between the two sides began to gradually become distant.

All in all, Liu Yifei's birthday party provided a lot of material for the media. Although there were not many people present, the event was quite substantial.

There is never a shortage of news material in the circle. Zhou Xingchi's Star Overseas announced that it would put Huang Shengyi on ice. The latter refused to give in and said that he would see Huang Shengyi in court. After half a month of silence, the matter was reported by the media again and made the headlines.

At the end of the month, the total box office of "Seven Swords" was 8100 million when it was released. Compared with the amount of investment, the investors suffered a great loss on this movie.

Unlike the movie "Seven Swords", the investors of the movie "Myth" are China Film and Emperor Entertainment Group.

This can be seen from the fact that Han Sanping is listed as the film's chief producer.

At this stage, Jackie Chan has the highest influence among Chinese movie stars at home and abroad, and his movies have influenced more than one generation.

In addition to the production company, the investment in "The Myth" was as high as 1.6 million Hong Kong dollars, which exceeded the cost of "Seven Swords".

The movie is scheduled to be released on September 9th, and the media coverage has never stopped.

Of course Gu Wei knew this movie, which was considered a phenomenal film in 05. South Korean actress Kim Hee Sun played Princess Yu Shu. It is said that a lot of things happened on the set.

Halfway through the filming of Princess Yu Shu, Cheng Long temporarily cleared the set and the two spent two hours alone together. It is not known whether this is true or not.

Later, there were rumors that the South Korean movie star ran back to his country in the middle of the filming and was "invited" back by Jackie Chan.

Cheng Long is somewhat fond of this, and Gu Wei just watches it for fun. It's a consensual thing, and no one can judge it.

"Boss Han, if you have something to say, please tell me."

In Xingchen Film and Television, Gu Wei received a call from Han Sanping.

"Don't leave for now. Come to the premiere on the 20th and show your support."

After hearing this, Gu Wei agreed. After all, no one in the country can fail to give face to China Film Group, unless they want to leave this circle.

"Director Gu, The Myth will premiere on the 20th of this month, please come and show your support then."

As soon as Han Sanping hung up the phone, Cheng Long called him right away, and the two of them did the same as they had discussed in advance.

Gu Wei said the same thing again.

The predecessor of the domestic film Huabiao Awards was the Excellent Film Award of the Ministry of Culture of China. It was first awarded in 1957 and is held annually.

After a 22-year hiatus, the awards continued in 1979, once a year.

Xiaoyanzi seemed to be unaffected by the Manchu dress and beating incidents. After the Shanghai Film Festival, she won the Best Actress award again.

For a while, netizens started to criticize her again. There were many people who liked her, but there were even more people who scolded her. The two sides went back and forth, and it was a lively scene.

With media coverage, the election for the Olympic Games chief director kicked off.

Many directors participated, including Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Jiang Wen and others. Li An was also invited by the organizing committee and rushed back from Hollywood to participate in the election.

Gu Wei is currently banned from coaching, so he did not receive any invitation, which makes him a little regretful. After all, it is a major event that the people across the country are paying attention to.

These directors hold a pivotal position in the Chinese director circle. It is rare to see these two "martial arts masters" competing against each other in China.

As the media continued to report, some details were also released.

"Director Zhang has unlimited creativity. The creative stage for the opening ceremony lasted for more than a year. It is said that there were more than 1000 creative meetings in a year. When I went to the site for the interview, I pulled two trucks of documents."

"After seeing his proposal document, I felt that I could only be his assistant," Director Li An said in an interview.

"It is said that Brother Chen Kai couldn't control himself at the scene and even recited a poem at the last minute."

"The judges said: Go away, we don't need poets, we need directors who can do practical work. He was eliminated in the first round."

When Gu Wei saw this report, he found it a bit funny. He couldn't even imagine whether he would burst out laughing if he were there.

Gu Wei learned some other details from other directors. In short, the election scene was a place where demons were everywhere and there was nothing they couldn't do.

At the beginning of September, the freshmen of Class 05 entered school one after another and a new round of military training began. As a senior student, Liu Yifei was pulled by the school to welcome the freshmen early, and the little girl enjoyed it very much.

Since joining Xingchen Film and Television, there has been almost no negative information about her online, and Liu Yifei's personality has also become more cheerful. …

"Boss, this is the invitation to the premiere of the company's film Mythology. Take a look."

In the office, Wang Chen and Gu Wei were reporting on the company's recent affairs. Wang Chen picked up an invitation letter and handed it to Gu Wei.

"Good quality."

Gu Wei looked at the gilded invitation in his hand and said.

After the phone call, another invitation letter was sent. Gu Wei was really afraid that he would not go. He shook his head. It seemed that he could not avoid it.

"Now everyone in the circle is asking about your next new movie."

After discussing business, Wang Chen mentioned it casually.

"Did they find out about you?"

Gu Wei was a little confused because he didn't receive any related calls.

"That's about the same. Anyway, it's all the same meaning.

Many people are also asking about the financial affairs of the company's artists, and many people have handed in their resumes recently."

Gu Wei thought about it and realized that it was true. Others didn’t dare to contact him directly, so it was normal for them to contact Wang Chen.

In the movies that Gu Wei has shot in Hollywood in recent years, except for Liu Yifei who got a supporting role, no one else has participated.

Currently in China, in addition to director Zhang Yimou's love for training new talents, he has indeed trained quite a few people.

Most other directors prefer to use familiar artists. Although there are differences in the closeness of the relationship between the two, they still cannot escape this circle.

"Don't pay attention to them. The company will not sign any more artist contracts at this time."

After receiving Director Gu's reply, Wang Chen nodded to show that he understood.

After chatting with Wang Chen, Gu Wei drove directly to the school. The last time he went to the school, Director Xie Xiaojing left the golden man in the directing department office, under the pretext of leaving some time for others to take pictures.

Now I'm going to go over and take the trophy back to the company.

When he arrived at Beijing Film Academy, Gu Wei saw many new students who had just enrolled.

His appearance is getting better and better, but I don't know if his acting skills have improved. It seems that the teachers at Beijing Film Academy made a mistake in selecting people, and it is hard to evaluate Gu Wei either.

Walking on campus, there are endless people greeting you.

"Director Gu."

"Hello, Director Gu."

Listening to the sweet voices of the little girls, Gu Wei felt it was pretty good.

Seeing that everyone was gathering around Gu Wei, Yang Ncifang, who was chatting with Yuan Shanshan next to him, pulled Yuan Shanshan forward without saying a word.

"Hello, Director Gu."

Gu Wei heard the voice behind him and looked back.

I saw two girls jogging towards him.

"Hello, Director Gu."

The two came to Gu Wei and spoke in unison.

"Well, hello."

"Director Gu, I'm Yang Mi. I met you on the set of The Condor Heroes a while ago."

Yang Nth Square is much braver than others.

"Yeah, I remember you, Guo Xiang from The Return of the Condor Heroes."

...

Gu Wei chatted with the two of them for a few words and then walked towards the directing department's office.

"Mimi, you also know Director Gu."

Looking at Gu Wei's leaving back, Yuan Shanshan beside him asked.

Then she heard Yang Ncifang whispering to her.
