Chapter 577 Everyone’s Thoughts

The party lasted until the early morning, with a group of people fawning and flattering loudly.

Although Mike acted righteous and resolute during the negotiations, he had actually already made up his mind to make this cooperation happen.

"Old man Richard has been keeping an eye on the Chinese market. I can't let him find an excuse to intervene, otherwise I will be suppressed by him."

After sending the email, Mike complained in his heart, and then said to himself, "It is impossible for Hollywood blockbusters to completely occupy the Chinese market, but Warner must take up the largest market share."

Mike sighed for a while before washing up and going to bed.

……

At this time, on the other side of the Pacific, Warner's board of directors.

Richard was gushing.

"I suggest that we pay more attention to the Chinese market and increase resources to ensure that we can capture the majority of the box office share in this market. We must not let Universal, Paramount and other companies take it away."

Gu Wei has always cooperated with Warner. Generally, Warner would choose to invest first in his Hollywood movies, and the other party would also give up a considerable share. This is a tacit agreement in the industry.

However, Universal's previous invitation to Gu Wei to direct the "Jurassic" series had already made Warner alert.

You have to know that Gu Wei is a money tree. If there is a conflict between the two parties and the other party turns to Global, he will cry to death.

In Richard's opinion, they cannot have a falling out with Gu Wei just because of a movie, otherwise other companies will seize the opportunity, slowly open up the gap in the cooperation between Warner and Gu Wei, and swallow up the cooperative business bit by bit.

This is something he absolutely cannot tolerate. After all, it is related to his future promotion and bonus distribution.

"'The Martian' is definitely an excellent science fiction script. I think this movie will be a big hit at the box office, with a 30% share..."

Richard is also working hard to gain the support of board members.

However, Gu Wei didn't care too much about this matter at the moment. The conditions were there anyway. Although he had always cooperated more with Warner, he didn't mind.

The next day.

Gu Wei and Liu Yifei slept in the villa until noon. He did not take the initiative to contact Nolan and Mike, and the other party did not call him either.

This is normal. Warner Bros. Entertainment is huge, and movies are just one of its businesses. The rest include production, distribution, TV stations, music and other companies.

But even so, Warner Bros. is a large company with many senior executives on its board of directors, so its efficiency is really slow.

The two people's work phones were turned off and they didn't reply to messages, which made many people outside who wanted to know the news very anxious.

Many people know their private phone numbers, but no one would rashly call to inquire about uncertain news.

It was almost noon when the two got up, washed up, picked up their phones and turned them on. Wow, there were dozens of missed calls and a large number of text messages.

Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun, Hu Jun, Qin Hao…

Fan Binbin, Li Binbin, Zhang Ziyi, Yuan Quan…

It can be said that those who think they have a good relationship with Gu Wei, as well as the celebrities and artists who have worked with him, all want to get first-hand detailed information.

After all, this could be Christopher Nolan's new movie, and any actor with a little fame would not refuse it.

In Hollywood, Christopher Nolan's movies represent box office revenue.

He is the most outstanding director in Hollywood, who can perfectly combine commercial and artistic elements.

Even Gu Wei was a little bit lacking on this point.

Gu Wei did not choose to reply. After all, the cooperation had not been finalized yet, so what could he say?
Instead, the young lady picked up the phone and called Su Chang and others back.

Gu Wei ordered lunch from the restaurant, and the other party arranged for someone to deliver it to the entrance of the community. Gu Wei then ran to the entrance to get it back.

The security personnel in the residential complex where the two lived were very responsible. Even though Gu Wei made a phone call, they still did not agree to the delivery personnel coming in. After all, only rich or noble people could live here, and they couldn't just consider the situation of one household.

Gu Wei put the food he brought back on the table, and Liu Yifei ate while talking on the phone.

Su Chang's voice on the other end of the phone was quite high, and Gu Wei could vaguely hear what the other party was saying even without turning on the speakerphone.

"Oh, you're the best...Please ask Gu Wei for me and see if there's a suitable role..."

"Okay, okay. I'm afraid of you. I'll ask for you once the cooperation is finalized." Liu Yifei picked up the stir-fried beef with chopsticks and muttered while eating.

"Haha, you're the best. I'll come visit you in a couple of days." Su Chang said happily.

"No, go and play with your man. You didn't even take me with you when you went shopping. Humph." Liu Yifei said unhappily. She saw on the Internet that Su Chang and Chen Xiao were photographed by paparazzi shopping together, and she suddenly felt like she had lost something!
Gu Wei, who was eating next to him, heard this and his mouth twitched slightly. "He took you on a date? He took you to be a light bulb?" This girl's idea was really confusing!

"What's wrong with Changchang? Are you crazy about filming recently?" Gu Wei was a little curious. A few days ago, Su Chang sent him a message, asking if the company had any new movie projects and whether there were any roles suitable for her.

"She has figured it out, and knows how to work hard. She said she wants to make more money as a dowry, hehe!"

"A typical love-brained person, lacking love!" Liu Yifei said again.

Well, looking at the smiling Liu Yifei, Gu Wei always felt that there was a reason why these two people could become best friends.

...

After dinner, Gu Wei took the time to throw away the garbage. When he came back, he saw that the girl had called again.

Is your business very busy every day?

"I really don't know anything about their selection. You can ask Gu Wei directly. They all have phone numbers. I'm usually too lazy to take care of those things." Liu Yifei made a face at Gu Wei and continued talking into the phone.

After two or three minutes, the greetings ended and Miss Liu hung up the phone.

"Who is this? Why are you asking me this?"

"Li Binbin, I'm not asking about the movie though.

There are many artists in their company, and I want to ask if they can be on Running Man. "

After hearing this, Gu Wei understood.

The company co-founded by Li Binbin and her sister is considered medium-sized. Among the signed actors, there are not many first-tier ones, but there are quite a few second-tier, third-tier and lower artists.

"By the way, Zhu Yawen, Jiang Yiyan and the others were joking, asking if they had a chance to be a permanent guest?"

Liu Yifei recalled the conversation this morning and happily told Gu Wei.

"It's okay to be a floating guest, but if you want to be a good actor, a qualified actor, don't even think about being a permanent guest."

Gu Wei smiled and said.

Liu Yifei knew Gu Wei very well and could tell immediately that he was not joking.

"Why?" She was a little confused.

Gu Wei nodded, "Generally speaking, actors need to maintain a sense of mystery so as not to let the characters they portray in movies and TV shows get out of place.

When an actor participates in reality shows for a long time, he will be stereotyped in the minds of the audience. No matter what role he plays in the future, the audience's first reaction will be his image in the variety show.

Look at those big stars, veteran actors, and some celebrities with great acting skills. Who would choose to appear on variety shows? Some people don’t even take on TV dramas, and only focus on the big screen.”

To be honest, this is a real phenomenon. For example, many celebrity artists who became popular in the original time and space through "Running Man" and "Go Fighting" were unable to get rid of this kind of personality in a short period of time.

After hearing what Gu Wei said, Liu Yifei was a little scared. "I know. I won't go to variety shows in the future."

"Haha, it's actually quite fun to go out and play occasionally."

.........

The influence brought by "Running Man" does not even need to be promoted by Xingchen Film and Television, because the entire film and television industry has already cast its attention on it.

After the first season of Running Man was aired, it told the film and entertainment industry what a hit variety show is.

The value of first-tier stars has doubled, and those below the second-tier and even the eighteenth-tier stars can all become popular or become popular again in the first-tier markets.

In the circle, a large number of film and television companies, brokerage companies, and artist studios have taken action.

From top-tier celebrities to small-time artists, everyone has their eyes on it.

Who wouldn't want to earn money, increase the number of fans, raise their status, and take their career to the next level by playing reality show games?
But most people know that the first season of "Running Man" has no chance, so everyone's attention is naturally placed on the second season.

At the same time, other companies and TV stations in the industry were jealous of the ratings of "Running Man" and announced the launch of new variety shows.

Among them, Mango TV was the most high-profile, announcing that it would introduce the parent-child outdoor reality show "Where Are We Going, Dad?" from South Korea's MBC TV station, hosted by the village chief Li Rui. It is currently in the early stages of preparation and personnel selection.

.........

"You must help me this time. As long as I can get a role in Director Nolan's new movie, whether it's the lead or a supporting role, or even just a cameo, it will instantly raise my profile."

In today's domestic entertainment industry, influenced by Liu Yifei, actors who have not starred in Hollywood blockbusters are considered to be in the second tier in the industry.

After successfully becoming a first-line actress, Yang Ying naturally set her sights on overseas films. Her ambition has never been to just be a small-time actress and live a stable life.

Huang Xiaoming was on the set of "The Crossing" and received a call from his girlfriend during his break.

"Let's forget it." Huang Xiaoming understood that the relationship between him and Gu Wei should not be used in this way. In his opinion, the other party has not announced it to the public yet, and there is no sign of it yet!

"Why? How do you know it won't work if you don't try? You have such a good relationship with Director Gu, and you are also familiar with Liu Yifei, so please help me and try your best, okay?"

But faced with his girlfriend's coquetry, Huang Xiaoming could hardly control himself, which was quite appropriate for the next movie he was going to shoot.

He had a smile on his face, not in a hurry at all, and even enjoyed his girlfriend's little temper and princess-like personality.

"say something?"

Huang Xiaoming's thoughts were interrupted. He smiled and said softly, "You know the casting of the projects that Director Gu is involved in. It's very strict. Acting skills come first, and the second is whether it can carry the box office."

Yang Ying didn't want to give up and insisted on her own ideas.

In her eyes, there is nothing in the mainland film and television industry that her boyfriend cannot handle, whether it is roles or resources, except for those particularly difficult directors or projects with extremely strict requirements.

"Please, love you."

Using both hard and soft tactics and acting like a spoiled child are Yang Ying's methods of dealing with Huang Xiaoming, and she uses them at her fingertips.

“Haha, I’m scared of you. I’ll go and ask.” In the end, Huang Xiaoming softened.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news." Yang Ying said with satisfaction.
