This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 159 Gu Changwei "Peacock"

First there were introductions, greetings, and then we sat down.

"Did you arrive this morning? Was there any traffic jam on the road?" Jiang Wen personally made tea for Hao Yun so that Hao Yun, who had just come in from outside, could drink some hot water.

Although Hao Yun betrayed him and earned the title of Little Liang Chaowei, he still did not lose his "favor".

After all, this child is close to me.

Gu Changwei had never seen Jiang Wen treat a young man like this.

Xia Yu didn’t have this treatment before.

He suspected that Jiang Wen wanted to take in someone to succeed him.

"There wasn't much traffic, so I arrived in the morning. I also went to take a guitar certificate exam." Hao Yun took a sip of tea and waited for Jiang Wen to get to the point.

Logically speaking, Jiang Wen is still under ban and is unlikely to direct a movie.

Acting is a possibility, and his acting pay is among the best in the domestic entertainment industry.

It is said that he received a salary of 5 million yuan for "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", breaking the domestic actor's salary record.

Can you believe that this movie cost 900 million yuan?

"Chang Wei is planning to make a movie, an art film. There is a small role in it and he wants to find you. Will you play the role?" Jiang Wen went to Hao Yun to introduce the role to him.

He prefers to let Hao Yun hone his acting skills in art films rather than mixing with Zhang Jizhong and others.

Just go the route of art films, win a few Best Actor awards, and your status will be maxed out.

You can do whatever you want in the entertainment industry.

And you can also be like him and have your feet in many boats, including the Hong Kong circle, the capital circle, the Northwest circle, and the international circle. You will be popular wherever you go.

Gu Changwei is the second most important figure in the Northwest circle, and the number one figure is Zhang Yimou.

Jiang Wen has a close relationship with these two bigwigs in the Northwest circle.

"It's just that the pay is a bit low." Gu Changwei added from the side.

"Only 80,000 yuan." Jiang Wen nodded.

Gu Changwei smiled bitterly but did not refute. In fact, he only wanted to pay 20,000 yuan and find an amateur, but while chatting with Jiang Wen, he booked a role for him.

However, thinking about the previous rejection of producer Jiang Wen, it would be a good idea to use this matter to ease the relationship.

Let Jiang Wen be the producer?
That would be a disaster.

Look at Lu Yan, he made a good movie, but it’s just like his wife gave birth to a black baby, which is hard to explain.

It almost became a laughing stock in the industry.

Let’s look at “The Barber”, the project was aborted.

Gu Changwei's directorial debut only received a total investment of 1500 million. If Jiang Wen had gotten involved, the film would probably have been spent before half of it was shot.

"The pay doesn't matter. What matters is when to shoot. I'm going to Hong Kong in May and June to shoot Infernal Affairs 2, and I'm worried about schedule conflicts." Hao Yun was quite satisfied with the yuan, after all, he only got a few thousand yuan for Missing the Gun.

"May or June... If we get approval in early March, we can start filming right away. The scenes are relatively simple, so you can try to shoot your scenes first."

When Gu Changwei heard Hao Yun say that he was going to film "Infernal Affairs 2", his eyes suddenly lit up. He couldn't afford to hire any traffic for this movie, and he didn't plan to do so.

The traffic here is not idols, but "well-known" actors who have a certain appeal in the film market.

After seeing his name and trusting him, I decided to go to the cinema to watch this movie.

Therefore, Gu Changwei is quite worried about the box office.

With a cost of 1500 million, even with various awards and copyrights, the box office would have to be over 2000 million to make a profit.

"Infernal Affairs" was not released in mainland China, but it became the most discussed movie in mainland China, and its popularity is not inferior to "Hero".

As far as the movie is concerned, as the leading actor of "Infernal Affairs 2", if "Infernal Affairs 2" does well at the box office, then he can be said to have a certain box office appeal, and he will not only be able to promote himself as a director.

The fact that Hao Yun had some schedule conflicts actually became a plus.

"If there is no conflict in schedule, there will be no problem on my side. Director Gu, please take care of me in the future."

Hao Yun shook hands with the other party.

I got photography +130.
Well, it’s no wonder that he is a photographer, but I don’t know if he is following the same style as Chen Guanxi.

"Then, you have to lose a little weight." There was heating in the room. After Hao Yun took off his down jacket, there was only a tight T-shirt underneath. Gu Changwei could vaguely see some muscle lines.

This guy has a really good figure.

It's a pity that he doesn't like it.

If you have the chance, warn him not to cooperate with Chen Kaige.

However, with Jiang Wen as his backer, there are probably not many people who dare to attack Hao Yun.

"That's no problem. You'll lose weight in just half a month." Hao Yun said without much hesitation.

Being an actor is like this. Your body shape and makeup must obey the director's orders. If you are told to be fat, you have to be fat. If you are told to be thin, you have to be thin. There is no reason for it. If you can't do it, you can be replaced.

"If we start shooting in early March, we'll be filming a summer scene." Gu Changwei didn't dare to finish all at once.

They have to lose weight and endure the cold. If the actor is a more delicate one, he might not want to do it.

"Director Gu, you're too polite. This is a small matter. Where should we shoot it?" Hao Yun is a young man with great energy. Even if he goes out to pee with his bare chest on a snowy day, he can still pee in a straight line.

"Anyang, Henan." Gu Changwei said.

"My hometown is in northern Anhui, only a few hundred kilometers away, and the climate is quite similar." Hao Yun had an idea in mind.

Next we talked about the content of the movie.

Later, Gu Changwei thought for a moment and said, "Let's invite screenwriter Li Qiang out for a chat if we have a chance. We can streamline your role. After all, your schedule is a bit tight."

"Thank you for your hard work, director." Hao Yun said reluctantly.

After all, no actor likes to have his or her role reduced, but schedule is a problem that has to be faced.

“The roles of the three siblings were originally very balanced, but they seemed too long. I’m afraid that they will have to be cut into a distorted product of four or even five hours.” Gu Changwei explained briefly.

Reducing the role is what he and the screenwriter have been doing recently.

It's not directed at Hao Yun.

"Although he is young, he has a strong pursuit of acting. Give him something difficult." Jiang Wen interrupted.

The purpose of acting in art films is to hone your acting skills and win awards.

The role is actually not that important. Some people’s roles are too long and boring, which becomes a burden on the entire work, while some people, with just a few appearances, become the most eye-catching presence in the work.

For this drama, he hopes Hao Yun can win the Best Supporting Actor award or even an international award.

"Looking for the Gun" did get an invitation to the 55th Cannes Film Festival, but Lu Yan was in a bad mood and didn't have the face to attend, and Hao Yun didn't have enough roles and wasn't outstanding enough.

The same is true of Kara Is a Dog.

I hope "Peacock" can have a good result.

"Yes, yes." What else could Hao Yun say.

Since the parents said so, Gu Changwei also expressed that he would make good arrangements for Hao Yun.

He had seen "Looking for the Gun" starring Hao Yun, and heard that Hao Yun and Ge You had teamed up in "Kara is a Dog", so he had high expectations for this young and somewhat exaggerated actor.

Jiang Wen, a big shot in the Northwest circle, and Hao Yun heard a lot of gossip at the dinner table.

However, what he was most curious about was Gu Changwei's wife.

It is said that his wife Jiang Minli was once the girlfriend of Wang Quanan, another big shot in the Northwest circle.

Wang Quanan starred in "Li Li Yuan Shang Cao" in 1989. The movie failed to pass the review and was released. Although he did not gain fame, he gained a new relationship - Jiang Minli became his new girlfriend.

The reason why I say new girlfriend is because Wang Quanan pursued Kong Lin as soon as he was admitted to Beijing Film Academy.

From one beautiful one to an even prettier one, in those days you really didn’t need to look at the face when taking pictures of a woman.

However, 32-year-old Gu Changwei fell in love with 20-year-old Jiang Minli.

Someone told him that Jiang Minli had a boyfriend.

When Gu Changwei heard this, he not only did not back down, but became even more excited.

Jiang Minli starred in the film "Farewell My Concubine" directed by Chen Kaige, and Gu Changwei was the cinematographer of the film.

The rest will come naturally.

The two big guys in the Northwest circle are now at loggerheads.

People in the capital like to stick together for warmth, while people in the northwestern circle like to fight each other fiercely, sometimes for women and sometimes for face.

Hao Yun quietly poured wine for the two bosses.

Although he is young, he is a calm person. He usually doesn't speak, but when he does, he always speaks with substance.

nonsense.

The director's attributes were flying all over the table, and you could just pick a handful of them at will.

Just grab it and use it as you like.

On the one hand, we can increase our understanding of their words, and on the other hand, we can understand their underlying meaning.

As long as Hao Yun opens his mouth, he will definitely touch the hearts of Jiang Wen and Gu Changwei.

Gu Changwei finally understood why Jiang Wen treated Hao Yun differently.

After the dinner, Hao Yun, who didn't drink, sent the drunk Gu Changwei home.
