Chapter 128 Buzz
Unfortunately, God has always been a good spirit but not a bad spirit, Gu Yunkai's intuition was right.
It was rare for the reporters to keep up with Gu Yunkai. Although they didn't catch any breaking news, such as the midnight car shock, they still grabbed a lot of pages and headlines, especially those media accounts that followed up celebrity entertainment gossip. It was like a carnival. There were two media accounts that looked like a fight. One posted a photo of Gu Yunkai and Jian Yuan looking at each other after eating. Smiles are sweet", it was revealed that the relationship between the two is very good, Gu Yunkai's eyes are full of love, and the two may prepare to get engaged after the release of the movie "The Pianist's Skylight" based on Jian Yuan.
Gu Yunkai looked at those photos carefully, but he didn't realize that his eyes were full of love, he just remembered that he might have had enough to eat and felt a little uncomfortable.And because the media mentioned "The Pianist's Skylight", Gu Yunkai probably knew that Smith was behind it.
Another media took a photo of the two without holding hands, claiming that the two were at odds with each other, fearing that the relationship would not last long, and confirmed the funder's remarks about hugging thighs, etc., and the fans scolded.The editor is thick-skinned enough, so he didn't delete the blog, and the bottom was torn into pieces. To this day, some people still believe in Gu Yunkai's gold master theory, so they quarreled with fans of the True Love faction.
Smith had discussed the promotion of the film with Gu Yunkai before, and he seemed to be quite confident in "The Pianist's Skylight" this time. The promotion and marketing of an independent film actually followed the commercial film, and Smith's own fans Fearing that the world will not be chaotic, coupled with the enthusiasm of Jian Yuan and Gu Yunkai's romance, this independent film that has not yet been released has actually squeezed into the top five most watched movies in the summer.
The summer movie schedule in summer is the longest schedule in the whole year, and it is also one of the most important schedules for distributors; the other is the Lunar New Year file, that is, during the New Year, everyone is free, men, women and children also have spare money in their hands , is the time when there are the most family movie fans, and they basically come to watch movies in groups, so the Lunar New Year file is a bit heavier than the summer file, but the time is not as long as the summer file.
For a moment, not to mention Smith, even the fans were a little surprised, and some people went to Gu Yunkai's Weibo to leave a message.
"Thank you, Mr. Gu, my silly old man's independent film has finally entered the top five most anticipated list."
"Even Smith's independent film can be milked, Lao Gu is really good."
"After looking at it, he seems to be a pretty good actor. Why did he give up on Smith? I'm afraid he owes the old man a favor."
"It turned out to be the actor of Feng Sanlang, who I like very much recently. I can't think about acting in an old man's literary film. Not much to say, for the influence of an actor, five movie tickets will definitely be given away."
……
The aftermath of "Light Like Day" has not yet passed, and "The Pianist's Skylight" has begun to warm up and promote again, not to mention the first time Gu Yunkai and Jian Yuan are in front of the camera together, Gu Yunkai feels that he will hang up for a while On the hot search, it is estimated that it will not be available. The later stage of "The Pianist's Skylight" is not very troublesome. It only took a few months to complete the production of the whole film after the male and female protagonists were finalized. He is very sensitive, but it's a pity that his control over art is not as good as his ability in the market.
After discussing with Sangley for a while, Smith adjusted the schedule to the first weekend of summer vacation for teenagers.
And the script of "The End Is Coming" was delivered to Gu Yunkai the day after Jian Yuan got on the plane.
Sangley, Stephen, and even Smith originally belonged to Calvin Company. Later, Sangley and Smith became independent and started their own company, while Smith was responsible for studying the art of making money. Sangley was basically the one behind the scenes. Sponsored by investors.
The senior executives of Calvin Company had been at odds with Sangley for a long time because of his job-hopping, but this is a circle of fame and fortune after all. Sangley and Smith can make money, and no matter how big their hatred is, they can also get over it. This time it is their former boss Carl. Wen company invested in the filming of "The Doomsday".It seems that the fire of "Light Like Day" made Talc's number one competitor, Calvin, sit on pins and needles. Talc now has the support of Xiang Jia. After the copyright, related brands and even theme parks are opened, if other companies do nothing, I'm afraid The position of the leading leader has been vacant in the circle, and it is about to be changed to his house.
Everyone fights for breath, and Buddha receives a stick of incense. Naturally, Calvin will not stand by and watch the talc company grow. This can be regarded as a healthy competition in the circle, at least for Gu Yunkai. After all, the job is so long Foot sent to the door.
This year is Gu Yunkai's fourth year in the industry, and it's the first time someone tailor-made a character for him, let alone a commercial film that comes with money, and the combination is all well-known gold medalists, so it's inevitable. Some are flattered.This negotiation was held in the studio. Sangli and Smith visited in person. Because there were not many people, Gu Jianyue specially vacated his office for four people to have a conversation.
"Drink tea, please." Gu Jianyue looked at Sangli and Smith with a commercial smile. The assistant was obviously a fan of Smith. When she put the teacup, her hands were so excited that she almost spilled the tea and was caught. Gu Jianyue glared angrily and calmed down, and left the office in a hurry after putting away the tea set.
Gu Yunkai and Smith are considered old friends, so Smith doesn't sit upright and serious like Sang Li, but is more relaxed. Anyway, Sang Li and Gu Jianyue do all the emotional things like talking about salary. They don't have much to do with each other.Jian Yuan just got on the plane yesterday, today Gu Yunkai thought nothing was wrong, so he went to the bow and arrow club to consult with relevant people and bought a bow and arrow to start practicing.
He used to go to the club often, but because of lack of interest, he didn't buy his own bow and arrow. The coach was very excited, saying that he learned much faster than others according to his talent. It used to be a waste of his lack of interest. It's a pity about the qualifications.Leaving aside whether it was polite or not, anyway, Gu Yunkai was very happy to hear it, and spent time in the club that afternoon, probably because he was a little passionate, after some practice, his arms were sore when he woke up this morning , and then went to get back the bow and arrows he bought.
When he was picking up the goods, he was rushed to the office by an urgent message from Gu Jianyue.
Regarding the movie "The Doomsday Is Coming", the two parties can be said to be "in love with each other". Gu Yunkai and Gu Jianyue originally agreed on a development route that needed a commercial film that could prove Gu Yunkai's box office strength, and Smith was ideal. But the partner, not to mention the role of Lan, in order to fit Gu Yunkai himself, almost a lot of characteristics are tailor-made for him.
However, the tug-of-war is still needed. After all, Gu Yunkai broke into the first-line stars with his relationship with Jian Yuan and the fire of "Light Like the Day". Earlier, his salary for "Light Like the Day" and "The Pianist's Skylight" was not No, Smith was able to afford the money at the beginning, and after promoting Gu Yunkai, he didn't care that he used himself to hype. It's better to say that the starring role was to cooperate with the hype, but he added Jian Yuan's weight, and the "publicity fee" was a little expensive That's a little bit, but the salary Smith gave at the beginning was already conscientious enough.
The first-line male stars basically start at tens of millions of dollars. Outsiders watch the excitement, and the circle is deep, especially the exaggerated exaggerated salaries of traffic stars. In fact, they are all worthwhile. In short, since Gu Yunkai started working as an actor Until now, I haven't seen a salary of hundreds of millions. This price is too absurd.For example, the total investment of [-] million yuan in the shooting plan of the super production "Light Like Day" in the empire is probably half of the post-production special effects alone. The total salary of all crew members plus actors' remuneration is estimated to account for one-fifth. Others include publicity, location and so on. If there is a guy with a salary of hundreds of millions, and he alone eats one-fifth of the salary, then what else is there to shoot? Lan Se has to find investment to increase the money.
"Do you have a hobby of bows and arrows?" Sangli asked suddenly, his eyes were a bit like the sharpness and coldness of an eagle preparing to hunt, and he said calmly and gently, "I heard that you have been keeping fit."
"That's right." Gu Yunkai smiled slightly and said politely, "I am a person with a wide range of hobbies."
This made Sangli look at Gu Yunkai differently, but it also made Sangli have a new level of concern about whether Gu Yunkai is suitable for the role of Wenglou, but this is the beginning of the cooperation, and he quickly turned his attention Put it back on Gu Yunkai himself.
Leaving aside Smith's upcoming new work "The Pianist's Skylight", Gu Yunkai's achievements can be described as outstanding. Since he left Tianyu Company and became self-employed, others usually fall, but he has gone smoothly.As for Gu Yunkai's TV drama works, Sang Li didn't care how much he had achieved, he only cared about the film works of the man in front of him.
There are at least four to five hundred movies released in a year, and there will be no more than twenty high-grossing movies that can attract the attention of the public every year, except for the fact that "Feng Yue Farewell" was limited to the subject matter at the beginning, and it was not well-received; After that, Gu Yunkai showed his extraordinary ability in the other films. He took on very few films a year, only about two to four, and he would not shoot in disorder. He would only prepare for one film at a time. It can be seen that he is an actor who takes his work very seriously.
Whether it's luck or Gu Yunkai's strength, Sang Li doesn't think it's a bad thing to cooperate with such an actor who is favored by the goddess of success.
When the Best Actor was awarded in the Flowers Awards, Sang Li was invited to be one of the guests. He had a good relationship with the jury and knew that the best actor should have been awarded to Wen Jingan, who was more stable throughout the process, but Gu Yunkai was filming cancer. The performance of death conquered all the judges, the despair and calmness of the ashes, the extinction of life brought about by cancer, Sangli still remembers the praise of the female judge teacher, so in his impression, Gu Yun Kai has always been a very spirited actor.
However, he has never worked with him before. Sang Li knows that Gu Yunkai's acting skills are good, but he is not sure how good the other party is. The acting skills of the actors are pretty good.
Afterwards, Smith gave him an affirmative answer. Now, he saw Gu Yunkai's preference for bows and arrows again. It seemed that he was destined in the dark that the role of Lan was born for Gu Yunkai.
Sangley is different from Smith. The latter will spend a lot of money for the so-called art in vain in order to be recognized by those messy award associations. Sangley's purpose is simple and clear-money, he only needs a high box office , a lot of income, a steady stream of money, word of mouth means little to him, and it doesn't matter if he has awards or not.
However, usually the premise of a high box office is the commercial element. Sang Li is quite a principled person. He never treats the audience as a fool. It is to ensure that the public aesthetics of the average level is met. The acting skills of actors do not need to reach the peak, but their acting skills must not make people play; the traffic may not be large, but the amount of topics must be high. The most important thing is to have a good face. As for how to shoot, it's up to Smith.
Sanli only needs to ensure that there will be no problems with a few key points within the scope of his jurisdiction.
In fact, for a good movie, the influence of the actors is very limited, because the movie is a collective project, but at the same time, the actors seem to be the facade of the product, and they are indispensable. "Eternal Solitude" was the first, followed by "Light Like the Day" was a big hit, with a box office of more than [-] billion. The former can be said to be driven by Sharp's fans, and the latter is actually the value of the movie itself. And Gu Yunkai participated in both movies.
This is enough to show his strength. People in the circle say that this is just a coincidence, but it is just luck, and it is nothing more than because they do not have such an amazing resume.
Sang Li likes Gu Yunkai, a hard-working and capable actor, because he knows it well, and the audience likes it too.
Smith came here this time, in addition to talking about "The End Is Coming", there are also some details about the movie "The Pianist's Skylight". These are all things that Gu Jianyue is talking about. Naturally, Sang Li He didn't come alone, but also brought a lawyer, and Gu Jianyue had already made preparations. Afterwards, the two sides refused to compromise on the remuneration, and the final amount fell to more than 400 million.
It was 100 million lower than the highest price in Sang Li's heart, and Gu Jianyue's price was 200 million higher. Both parties were very satisfied, and with a wicked smile, the lawyers drew up the contract and signed it.
The effect of "Light Like Day" is indeed gratifying, and Gu Yunkai's value has also risen, but "The End of Days" is not a sequel to "Light Like Day", and the film pay has doubled compared to the previous issue. Yue had an unexpected effect—after all, the role of Lan sounded like it was tailor-made for Gu Yunkai, but in fact the talk fell apart, and they would definitely be able to replace it with a more tailor-made actor.
Of course, in order to bargain and test each other's bottom line, Gu Jianyue offered 2000 million when he opened his mouth, but Sangli analyzed the market and the pros and cons and cut it down to 600 million.
Both parties have benefited. The tug-of-war over the remuneration went to the end. There was no tearing face or slapping the table during the whole process. However, money was involved after all, and the atmosphere was still a little tense. Gu Yunkai didn't care much about this, and smiled after the agreement was over. Then he shook hands with the two of them and said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you two."
Smith's beard moved, and he said with a half-smile: "I hope that after "The Pianist's Skylight" is released, you can still say this to me with a smile."
Gu Jianyue couldn't help covering her mouth with a smile, and Sang Li also had a smile on her face. The tension caused by the saw-saw just now disappeared, Sang Li pointed to the bow and arrow, and said lightly: "I'm glad to see you I am practicing this thing, I can continue to practice, and the role of Lan will also need special training."
This is not a big deal, and Gu Yunkai still wants to show off in front of Jian Yuan, so he will practice hard, so he agrees.
Afterwards, Gu Jianyue sent the two of them out of the studio, and sent the lawyer back, then returned to the office, pressed his shoulders, and said with a sigh of relief: "I thought it would take a long time to talk, but I didn't expect this This time went so smoothly. But Mr. Sang is really difficult to deal with, as people say in the circle."
Gu Yunkai smiled faintly. He was wiping an arrow he took out from his quiver, and lightly danced a move in the air. The long wooden branch trembled slightly, and the tip of the arrow pointed straight at the void. Said: "The price is within his tolerance range, but outside your expected range. Of course, the negotiation is harmonious and satisfactory. The role of Lan belongs to me. Sangli's appearance is not difficult."
He leaned back on the sofa chair, with a calm and clear look on his face.
Gu Jianyue looked at him with her face tilted, and suddenly she was deeply moved: "Brother, I've been thinking about one thing."
"Ok?"
"Obviously you didn't do anything, and you watched me talking to others, but every time you talked, it made me feel as if I was not mature enough to do things." Gu Jianyue sighed heavily, "I I want to be as good-looking as you, with great acting skills, and then sit on the sofa and watch you quarrel with others because of me."
Gu Yunkai smiled lightly and said, "Hasn't it been like this for a long time?"
"When?"
"When you had a cold war with Hao Ying." Gu Yunkai scrutinized the workmanship of the arrow with his fingers, and said calmly, "Do you think it's true that I was so busy flying all the way to invite him to drink tea?" In order to make him drink tea to get rid of the fire? If I have time to rest, I won’t lie at home and take good care of my health?”
Gu Jianyue said in shock: "But Ah Ying never told me."
"Hmm..." Gu Yunkai pondered for a while, originally wanted to expose to his sister the cruel reality that men don't tell their wives everything, but after thinking about it, he calmly found a tactful excuse and said, "Maybe it's because of me. His aura was too strong, and he was too crushed to resist."
Let Hao Ying speak for himself about this cruel reality, although the day he let Gu Jianyue experience it is probably his death day, but it doesn't matter.
Although Gu Jianyue felt that there was nothing wrong with this statement, after all, Hao Ying was as frightened and frightened when seeing Gu Yunkai as a fat mouse that was fed up seeing a cunning and nimble hunter cat, but because this sentence came from Gu Yunkai She said it out of her mouth, so she still couldn't help feeling a bit of disobedience.
The siblings chatted casually, Gu Jianyue stood behind the sofa with her arms around Gu Yunkai's neck, her chin resting on top of his head, talking about her and Hao Ying's preparations for the wedding, Everything is included, from the decor of the entire venue to the camera to the people invited and the drinks and cakes including the shape of the napkins prepared and so on.
Thanks to Gu Jianyue, Gu Yunkai, who didn't want to get married in the first place, had already planned to go to the jewelry store with Jian Yuan when necessary to pick out a pair and spend ten yuan to get a certificate.
He could guess with his feet what kind of frightening wedding that good-hearted and helpful citizen, Uncle Jianmo, could concoct for his only nephew. Maybe it would be included in the historical records and listed as one of the most luxurious weddings of the century.
Given that Jian Mo himself is a bachelor, and Jian Yuan is a single heir of his family, as for Mr. Jian Wen... as long as Gu Yunkai is not allowed to be in charge of communicating with him, everything is easy to discuss.
Gu Jianyue turned her head, her chin hurt when she touched the top of Gu Yunkai's head, she wondered if her sister was trying to make him bald from spinning his hair, but it was rare for the siblings to get close, so Gu Yunkai didn't care too much , just adjusted the position and asked Gu Jianyue to lean on another place. Unconsciously, Gu Jianyue pondered: "Pu Ge, Jing An, Henry and Alyssa, Fei Ni also invited, there are people on Yuan Ge's side Do you want to ask?"
Speaking of...
Gu Yunkai couldn't help but pondered, he seemed to only know Jian Yuan's fans, but Jian Yuan hadn't introduced his friends to him, on the contrary, Jian Yuan had thoroughly figured out his circle of friends.But this thought just flashed in his mind, after all, Gu Yunkai didn't dare to think about the status and status of most of Jian Yuan's friends.
In fact, for Gu Jianyue, compared to his younger sister, Gu Yunkai felt that it was more about the mentality of marrying a daughter. The saying that an elder brother is like a father is more or less reasonable. He patted Gu Jianyue's arm lightly , said lightly: "You just make a phone call and ask him if he is okay."
"But..." Gu Jianyue suddenly hesitated, she slowly lowered her body, leaned on Gu Yunkai's shoulder and asked, "Will Brother Yuan's friends look down on us? Logically speaking, we should invite him Grand Marshal and Mr. Xiao Jian, but parents are not here, there is no suitable elder to invite, and if you don’t invite, you will feel neglected, and...they may not be free."
"My parents are not here, so I still have my brother." Gu Yunkai said calmly, "I will take care of it."
