Chapter 437 Why didn’t they leave?

The global box office of "2012" is getting closer and closer to the record of "Avatar".

Even though Gu Wei is in China, he still receives calls of congratulations and greetings from time to time.

Not to mention distributors like Warner Bros. and Universal Studios.

The heads of Disney and DreamWorks also called and, in addition to congratulating Gu Wei, informed him that the filming of sequels to the two animated films would begin in the middle of the year or at the latest in the second half of the year.

"Gu, we can't wait. We will use the latest technology this time. Believe me, Frozen 2 will become a box office miracle in the history of animated films."

Listening to the other party's passionate voice, Gu Wei smiled faintly.

“Of course, I have complete confidence in your skills.

However, I still hope you can send a few more people to China, because the newly established animation film company is in urgent need of help."

Gu Wei changed the subject and talked about this matter.

"Well, I will report this to the president at the company meeting at the end of the month, don't worry."

After getting the promise, Gu Wei immediately hung up the phone.

Afterwards, Gu Wei received congratulations from directors such as Nolan, Cameron, Martin Scorsese, and Spielberg.

As for Hollywood stars, there are even more, such as Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Charlize Theron, Kate Winslet, Jake Gyllenhaal, Dennis Quaid, Amy Rossum...

Matt Damon and Nicole Kidman were especially excited, which is normal. Anyone who sees that the movie they star in is about to make history will be excited.

In addition to congratulating, Leonardo also urged Gu Wei on the phone, hoping that he would finish filming "The Wandering Earth" as soon as possible and come to Hollywood.

"Believe me, Gu, I have a feeling that if we two join forces, we will create a miracle."

"Hey, Leon, don't be anxious. There is an old saying in our country that good things are worth waiting for. Miraculous works always take time to brew."

After saying this, Gu Wei hung up the phone directly, leaving Leonardo, who was still excited, to continue eating high-calorie food.

“Well, this is a sacrifice I made for the role,” he muttered as he ate.

In the office, after thinking for a while, Gu Wei called Reid again to ask about the script.

"Don't worry, boss. When Leon took the script, he signed a confidentiality contract. There is no problem with safety."

"Well, so be it."

Hearing this, Gu Wei felt relieved.

"Oh, Boss, according to the forecast of Warner Bros., 2012 will most likely set a new global box office record in May. How should we celebrate then?

Should we hold a grand celebration party? Or should we charter a yacht and party for three days and three nights? "

After talking about serious matters, Reid started to act frivolously again.

"Let's wait until we surpass that number. I'll be there by then. Warner Bros. can't wait for the movie 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes'."

"Okay, boss. I'll be waiting for you anytime."

Hearing this, Gu Wei smiled. This guy is becoming more and more like a funny guy.

.........

After the incident between Zhang Yimou and "Mou Girl" came out, Zhang Ziyi was the first to speak out, saying that these rumors were pure slander. She has already informed her lawyer and will pursue legal responsibility against the rumor makers.

Afterwards, Zhou Dongyu, Ni Ni and others also posted clarifications on Weibo.

As for Gong Li, she and Zhang Yimou did have this past, and there is no need to clarify it publicly.

Star Film and Television Company.

Gu Wei was holding a meeting with the publicity and promotion department employees. Song Ge, Wang Chen, and Zhang Yimou were also in the meeting room.

Everyone discussed it over and over again but couldn't come up with a good solution. Finally, Wang Chen suggested using the old method from last time and using one thing to cover up the heat of this incident.

Of course, this time they will definitely not use the news of Gu Wei and Liu Yifei’s marriage to cover it up.

In this case, a new "Parasite" movie project was immediately launched, and then it was announced that the movie was specially shot for participation in major film festivals.

"I think it's feasible. Director Zhang's art films have always been the hottest news in the industry. When the time comes, we will hype them up and it will definitely suppress this incident." The head of the publicity department was the first to raise his hand in agreement.

"no!"

"inappropriate!"

Gu Wei and Zhang Yimou spoke at the same time.

The two looked at each other. Zhang Yimou spoke first, "This script still needs time to brew, including the storyboards and the details in it, which also need time to prepare."

"Well, this movie is not just going to participate in the Oscars. I mean it should first go to one of the three major European awards, and then go to the Oscars. So the quality of the film must be perfect." Gu Wei talked about it, and the others were a little surprised. It was rare to see the boss so serious.

When Zhang Yimou heard this, he was deeply moved. He had never experienced this feeling before in New Picture. If it were Zhang Weiping, he would have wanted to promote the film once a day to take advantage of the popularity.

Seeing that the two big directors of the company disagreed, what else could others say?
As for you, the worker, keep trying to find a solution to the problem. Everyone looked at each other.

"Actually, this matter is not as serious as everyone thinks. Director Gu also said that those who are innocent will be innocent. There is no need to keep staring at it. Time will prove it." Zhang Yimou looked at the sad-looking people and said something to comfort them.

After the meeting, Zhang Yimou went home to draw the storyboards, while Gu Wei rushed to the crew. …

At the gate of China Film Digital Base, a large number of reporters had been waiting. When they saw Gu Wei coming, they naturally swarmed over.

"Director Gu, what do you think of the incident that happened on the set of "Special Identity"?"

"Director Gu, Hong Kong actors are forming a group and ostracizing mainland celebrities. Vincent Zhao is suspected to have left the crew of Special Identity. What do you think?"

"Director Gu..."

Gu Wei, who was already in a bad mood, was surrounded by so many people. In addition, the weather was starting to get hot, and he suddenly became irritated.

"Mainland stars are being marginalized, so why not let Zhen Zidan and others leave the crew of "Special Identity"? What qualifications do Hong Kong stars have to suppress mainland artists?"

After saying this, Gu Wei asked his assistant to disperse the crowd and walked straight to the shooting site.

Only a group of excited reporters were left, "Is it recorded?"

"Recorded, recorded, hurry back and write the script, this is big news."

Not to mention the excitement of the reporters, after entering the crew, Gu Wei looked at the footage shot over the past two days and his mood instantly improved.

The skills of Vettel and others are indeed not to be underestimated, and they do have a unique understanding of special effects.

Since they arrived, the filming of the scenes has gone much more smoothly, so much so that Gu Wei wanted to poach them.

We did have a talk in the middle, but unfortunately they said they were very comfortable at Warner and had no plans to change jobs for the time being.

"Gu, you pay and we work for you. This is a normal employment relationship. Of course, we will do our best to teach them how to shoot."

Gu Wei was very satisfied with Vettel's attitude, which made him want to recruit him even more.

Men, while eating from the bowl, always keep their eyes on the pot.

But he didn't know that because of his words, the outside world had already started an uproar.

Ting Feng Nian Jiu Yan: "Director Gu is right. Why should Zhao Wenzhuo leave? If anyone wants to leave, they should leave first."

Qi Lingyun: "That's right, finally a big director has spoken out."

Fish in the Clouds: “I think it’s a little difficult, maybe you don’t know.

"Special Identity" was originally called "Ultimate Decoding". Of course, these are two different projects.

The latter was originally produced by Cheng Long, and directed and written by Tan Bing. However, the film eventually went bankrupt, so it was changed to "Special Identity".

The production team was completely replaced, and finally Xingguang Canlan was found to take over and got the full investment. "

It's rare for netizens to share some scientific knowledge, so the discussion has become even more heated.

Vitamin Water: "Since the film is mainly invested by a mainland film and television company, there is no need to change the cast. Is the star shining brightly towards Hong Kong actors?"

Afterwards, a netizen named HH Xia Chong went to Lu Zheng’s Weibo to protest, asking him to put some spirit into it and directly replace those people in Hong Kong Island so as not to embarrass the big companies in the mainland.

Seeing this, other netizens followed suit and tagged Lu Zheng one after another.

At this moment, Lu Zheng was in a state of confusion.

Although he runs a film and television company, he never interferes in the affairs of the crew. Apart from requiring that Jing Tian must be the leading female role, he has no other requirements.

"Damn it, all kinds of shit happen to them. I told you to keep a low profile, but these people don't understand what I say, right?

By the way, I heard that they changed the script later?"

Hearing Lu Zheng's question, the assistant nodded and said, "The main roles are concentrated on the group of people in Hong Kong Island. I guess it will also have some impact on Miss Jingtian's role."

What the assistant said was pure nonsense. Even though those people in Hong Kong Island were annoying, at least they had some sense and would definitely not cut out the role of the heroine designated by the investors.

"I've been annoyed with that group of people for a long time. They act like big shots every day." The assistant thought to himself and gave them some eye drops.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Lu Zheng's face changed immediately. Just as he was about to lose his temper, his cell phone rang.

"Hey, you know about this too? Haha, I'm sorry to make you laugh."

After answering the phone, Lu Zheng gave a wry smile, but as the conversation went on, he became more energetic and in the end there was a smile on his face.

The assistant beside him secretly said in his heart, "Wow, a girlfriend? One phone call can cure all diseases."

The two sides chatted for ten minutes. After hanging up the phone, Lu Zheng pondered for a while and said, "Call Director Huo and ask Zhao Wenzhuo to come back."

"Ah, now? What excuse can you give?" the assistant asked in confusion. At the same time, he secretly wondered who this person was, who could make the boss change his attitude immediately with just one phone call.

"What reason? Zhao Wenzhuo has signed the contract, it's written in black and white, he can't be kicked out just because someone wants to. Go ahead."

Looking at the assistant in front of him, Lu Zheng suddenly had the idea of ​​changing someone.

After the assistant left, Lu Zheng chuckled, "Now we have something interesting to watch. It can be considered a blessing in disguise. You are the heroine of a movie produced by Xingchen Film and Television Company. Tiantian, your luck has come."
