The crew of John Wick 4 stayed in Paris for more than a month, and then moved to the Babelsberg Studios in Berlin for filming.

After filming for more than a week, everyone flew to Osaka, Japan.

According to the filming plan, the crew will film here for half a month.

Osaka is the second largest filming location for John Wick 4 after Paris, but all the shots taken here are night scenes.

Both the crew and the actors are almost all out at night, filming at night and returning to the hotel to rest at dawn.

".Since the post-production of [The Wind Chaser] was completed last month, the company has been communicating with major TV stations.

According to your previous instructions, the first round of broadcasting rights have been determined for CCTV.

In the second round, several local TV stations such as Blueberry TV, Shandong TV, and Guizhou TV are competing, and it is likely that multiple stations will broadcast it together.

In this way, not only will the pressure on TV stations to purchase films be much smaller, but we will also receive more copyright fees.

As for video platforms, iQiyi currently has the highest offer."

In the afternoon, in the crew's hotel room, Gu Wei opened his computer and held a video conference with the company's executives.

After Yang Liwen finished speaking, he nodded.

"Very good, has CCTV said when it plans to release [The Wind Chaser]?"

"I communicated with the leaders there before, and they seem to plan to have [The Wind Chaser] take over the now very popular [The World]."

"So soon?

I remember that [The World] started airing at the end of last month, and it should be finished in less than half a month, right?"

"According to the arrangement there, after [The World] is finished, the prime time channel will broadcast a program called [The Great Craftsmen] for a total of 13 days, and then the next follow-up drama will be broadcast."

"That's good, the time is not so tight.

But it is highly likely that it will not be able to take over the ratings of [The World]."

Period dramas are easy to become hits, and [The World] is undoubtedly the biggest hit this year.

The ratings of this drama when it was first broadcast were only 1.34%, and the audience share was 4.7%, ranking fourth among TV dramas in the same period.

As a result, after three days of broadcasting, the ratings soared to more than 2, and the audience share doubled, firmly sitting on the throne of the first TV drama in the same period.

Then, as the subsequent episodes were broadcast, various data continued to rise, and the popularity on the Internet continued to rise.

More than 30 episodes have been broadcast so far, and the ratings have exceeded 3, and the audience share is as high as 12%. It can be said that it is the biggest hit of CCTV since the beginning of this year.

"CCTV is very confident in the quality of "The Wind Chaser", and there is also your appeal.

I talked to the director of the film purchasing department there, and she believes that the data of "The Wind Chaser" will not be worse than "The World"."

"The filming of "The Manslaughterer 2" just started a few days ago.

Director Cui Rui set the filming location in Jiangmen, Yuezhou, where there is a Thai-style street, which is very consistent with the description in the script.

The crew made some modifications there and built some additional buildings. It was not until a few days ago that all the buildings were built."

After Yang Liwen finished speaking, Zhao Mingcheng, who is responsible for the filming of film and television dramas, reported to the director.

"Did Director Wen go with him?"

Gu Wei was not surprised by the start of "The Manslaughterer 2". He had talked to Cui Rui before going abroad.

"I went there. Director Wen went with Director Cui as the supervisor. Xiao Yang and Zhang Tianai from the company also joined the crew.

By the way, boss, Director Rao's film "The Journey Home" has been completed and is currently in post-production." Zhao Mingcheng said.

"Guo Fan should know that the filming of "The Journey Home" has been completed, right?" Gu Wei asked.

"Director Guo has been filming "The Wandering Earth 2" in Qindao, but there are also many people from his company in the crew of "The Journey Home", so he should also know the progress of this project."

Although the director of "The Journey Home" is Rao Xiaozhi, this movie was originally a project of Guo Fan. It is currently a joint production of Guo Fan's company, Gu Wei's "The World of Weiming" and Lu Yang's "Free Cool Whale".

The main controller and the largest investor are still Guo Fan, so the subsequent release of the movie depends on how Guo Fan arranges it.

After Zhao Mingcheng finished speaking, the person in charge of the publicity and distribution department spoke.

"...Director Wen's film [Miracle·Stupid Kid] has been officially scheduled for release on May 1.

We plan to announce the release date in the middle of this month, and then gradually start preheating publicity.

The specific publicity and promotion plan has been sent to your email."

Gu Wei thought for a while: "The promotion focus of this movie should be on Wen Muye and the male lead Peng Yuchang."

After saying that, he paused: "It's mainly director Wen Muye. He has [Dying to Survive], [Manslaughter], and [Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils] as examples. Putting him as the focus of publicity and promotion can attract more audiences to enter.

And [Miracle] itself is a story-oriented movie."

"I understand~"

The meeting lasted for more than an hour, and the company's affairs after the New Year and some projects in the first half of the year were sorted out. After others left the room, Yang Liwen kept talking to Gu Wei.

"Boss, Director Guo Hu contacted me again, asking when we are going to start preparing for the drama he found?"

Gu Wei was stunned and didn't react.

Seeing this, Yang Liwen continued, "It's the [Auspicious Lotus Building] project.

The company bought this IP a few years ago, and then the company's screenwriter department adapted it into a script.

After you mentioned it two years ago, I met with Director Guo Hu according to your request and sent him the script.

Later, because you had so many projects and no time, the show was put on hold.

Director Guo Fu has come to see me several times in the past two years."

Yang Liwen remembered Gu Wei as soon as she mentioned Lotus Tower.

“I have too many things to do, and I’ve really been busy and forgotten.

I feel a little sorry for Director Guo, after all, I was the first to mention this project to him."

Guo Fu is Lin Yufen's apprentice. When he was filming "The Story of Ancient Swords" and "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", he was the executive director of the crew and worked under Director Lin.

Later, he went solo and directed period dramas such as "Chen Xiyuan" and "Zhou Shengru Ruji".

He directed "Lotus House" in the original space and time, and the results were very good, so Gu Wei contacted him after finishing the script of a martial arts drama.

"I don't think Director Guo will mind. Everyone in the industry knows that your schedule, boss, is rare. I guess he is afraid that our project of his will get lost, so he keeps pursuing it."

Gu Wei nodded.

“When I return to China in March, I will join the crew to film [Go to Where the Wind Is], and then there will be two more movies [Extreme Rescue] and [Her Disappearance].

There is a high probability that I won’t have time this year.

You go back and talk to Director Guo, and then arrange for Zhao Mingcheng to connect with him. In the second half of the year, preparations for [Lotus Tower] will begin, and filming will begin early next year! "

"OK!

Another thing, China Film Group contacted me a few days ago and said that they are preparing a war movie of the same type as "Changjin Lake".

I would like to ask the boss if you are interested? "

"A film prepared by China Film Group? No script?" Gu Wei asked curiously.

The dramas that have come to him in recent years have basically been sent to him with scripts in advance, without asking him directly.

Moreover, he has always had a close relationship with China Film Group, and he talks about projects directly.

“I talked to the other side.

It is said that a project called "Great Victory" initiated by director Chen Kaige attracted investment from China Film and Bona.

Director Chen doesn't seem to have any intention of inviting you, but China Film and Bona are a little worried, so they handed over the message first.

If you agree, they will be responsible for convincing Director Chen."

When Yang Liwen said this, Gu Wei immediately understood which movie it was.

"Great Victory" is not the "Volunteer Army" that Brother Chen Kai later praised his son for.

"Forget it, it's enough for me to make one of the films in the "Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea" series [Changjin Lake]. You can make your attitude clear to them."

"Understood~"

After finishing the work matters, Gu Wei turned off the computer.

Just at this time, Yang Chaoyue came back from outside. She was wearing fashionable clothes and carrying various shopping bags in her hands.

"Buying so many things?"

"Yes, go shopping and buy something if you like it.

It’s a pity that you can’t come with me, boss.”

Yang Chaoyue's scenes on the set have all been completed. She lingered and wanted to be lazy, but Gu Wei didn't care.

When she arrived in Osaka, everyone on the crew was busy working. She just wandered around to see the scenery and buy things, which was very leisurely.

This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Moreover, she has basically no reputation abroad, so she doesn’t have to worry about anyone knowing her wherever she goes.

"I work at night and rest during the day. How can I have time to go out with you?"

"I know~

It’s good now.”

Yang Chaoyue sorted out her trophies with a happy face and took out an exquisite box from inside.

"I bought this for you. I saw a men's watch in the mall. It's very beautiful. I think it should suit you very well."

Gu Wei took out the watch from the opened watch box.

The black leather strap, silver-white frame, and sapphire blue dial look really beautiful on your hand.

"Vacheron Constantin, what series is it from?"

Yang Chaoyue thought about it for a while: "The salesperson seemed to say it was "Across the Four Seas". I don't really understand it, but I think this style is quite beautiful!"

Gu Wei nodded: "Yes, I like it very much.

But maybe I can’t wear it on a daily basis? "

"Ah? Why?"

Gu Wei touched her head: "Because I am the global spokesperson of Jaeger-LeCoultre, of course I cannot wear watches from other brands.

If you are photographed, it will be considered a breach of contract."

"Oh~"

Yang Chaoyue didn't expect that Gu Wei, the gift he carefully selected, would not be able to use it, and he felt a little depressed.

Gu Wei saw it and comforted her with a smile: "Although I may not be able to wear it for a while, the watch you chose Chao Yue is really good-looking and I like it very much.

Okay, come out to dinner with me.

After eating, I’m going to work on the set.”

He said and greeted her to go out together.

“The filming in Japan will be completed in about a week.

Are you going to go back to China directly or follow me to the United States? "

Gu Wei asked as the two of them ate local food together.

"I'll be with you, boss, from beginning to end.

Anyway, the company didn’t urge me to go back.”

Gu Wei nodded.

"By the way, while I was busy at work today, I learned from Mr. Yang of the company that the movie [Speaking of Heroes Who Are Heroes] you filmed last year will be released on Tengxun Video around the end of May."

"It's great. After filming last year, I was thinking about when this drama would be released.

Boss, do you think my show can be popular? "

Yang Chaoyue's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to ask without caring about eating.

"How do I know? I haven't watched this show, so I don't know how it went with you?" Gu Wei shrugged.

“I feel like I have worked very hard to shoot, but I don’t know what the final effect will be.

The few movies I filmed before, except for the company's "Celebrating More Than Years" series, were all unremarkable.

I don’t have much confidence in my acting skills either.”

Gu Wei gave her a funny look, picked up a piece of sushi and took a bite.

"First of all, your drama is a big IP. "Who is the Hero" is an adaptation of Wen Ruian's martial arts novel of the same name. It already has a certain amount of fans and popularity.

Secondly, this drama is an S-level project of Tengxun. It has huge investment and high attention. The platform will definitely provide the best publicity resources before the release.

Once again, this drama is directed by the company's director Li Muge. I have worked with him on two dramas, "Si Teng" and "Donggong", so I know his abilities relatively well.

Li Muge is very good at photographing people and scenes, and the plot is not bad either.

Finally, both Zeng Shunxi and you can be considered the new top celebrities who have emerged in the past two years, with high popularity and number of fans.

So no matter how you look at it, this drama can't be saved. Even if it doesn't become a big hit, it's still okay to be a small hit! "

After speaking, Gu Wei picked up the drink next to him and took a sip.

He said it politely. Yang Chaoyue's current popularity is not comparable to Zeng Shunxi's.

[Chen Qing Ling] is so flattering, and there are many more female fans chasing stars than male fans.

Under Gu Wei's operation, Zeng Shunxi has already collaborated with Zhang Yi in "The Journey Home", and Xiao Zhan has also acted with Tony Leung in "Unknown".

When these two movies are released, their top-notch positions will be more stable, and they will step into the film industry from the television industry.

"Listening to your analysis, I feel that I have great hope that this drama will become a hit!"

Yang Chaoyue is still very easy to coax, and she trusts Gu Wei very much. She feels that her boss is definitely one of the few smart people in the world, and everything he says is right.

Gu Wei smiled and nodded.

He felt that his analysis was not wrong.

[Who is the Hero?] was not a bad drama in the first place, but the poor performance of the original version was due to many factors.

Now that the conditions for this edition are satisfactory in all aspects, there is no reason to pounce no matter how you look at it.

"By the way, I told you about the movie [Extreme Rescue] some time ago. It will be shot around July.

Calculate the time and [Who is the Hero] will just finish airing, so I won’t delay your drama announcement.”

"When can I get the script?"

Yang Chaoyue perked up and asked.

Compared with the TV series she made, the movie she co-produced with her own boss was more important, and Gu Wei had already said before that in this movie she was no longer just a soy sauce but the real heroine.

"It won't take more than a few days. I'll have someone send it to you after I return to China.

You still have a few months to prepare for the movie."

"Boss, don't worry, I won't let you down!"

Yang Chaoyue assured with confidence.

Gu Wei smiled and said: "Just act according to the current state of the play, and refine the details according to the script." (End of Chapter)
