Chapter 658 No One Has Ever Dared to Act Like a Big Shot in Front of Me

"Brother Wei, good morning!"

"Boss Gu, congratulations on the big box office success!"

"."

In the morning, Gu Wei came to the crew to perform, and the crew members he met along the way greeted him one after another.

"Brother Wei, you are here~

[Super Time and Space Cohabitation] is about to break 1 billion, and it's only been 7 days, it's amazing!"

Zhou Ye saw Gu Wei and trotted to his side.

She was wearing a light blue school uniform, which was obviously a costume from the movie. Her black hair was draped over her shoulders. She had a small face full of collagen, and her eyes narrowed into two crescents when she smiled. She was pretty and cute.

"It's okay. This result is within my expectations. It's average."

Today is the Friday of the second week. [Super Time and Space Cohabitation] has been released for 7 days. As of yesterday, the total box office was 950 million yuan.

Starting from Wednesday of the second week, the single-day box office of the movie dropped by 100 million. On Wednesday and Thursday, the box office was 89.57 million and 84.56 million respectively.

However, there will definitely be a surge today, Friday. It is estimated that there will be no problem for the single-day box office to exceed 100 million yuan, and the box office will also fall back on the weekend of the second week.

When the movie has a good reputation, some domestic blockbuster movies basically follow this trend.

"Only your movie dares to have such expectations. Ordinary domestic love movies can boast of being a big hit with a box office of 200 to 300 million yuan."

Zhou Ye said with a turn of his eyes.

"Do you think [Super Time Cohabitation] can surpass the big hit [Ex-Files 3] last year? They are all love movies starring you. If the box office exceeds it, it will be considered breaking your own record."

"Who knows? I hope that the box office of my movies will be better and better, but the final result depends on the audience."

Gu Wei spread his hands.

The box office of [Ex-Files 3] is 2.3 billion yuan. According to the current trend of [Super Time Cohabitation], it is very likely to break 2 billion yuan, but it is really hard to say whether it can be surpassed in the end.

Although in terms of film quality, Gu Wei thinks [Super Time Cohabitation] is better.

But commercial movies do not have high box office just because of high ratings.

Although [Ex-Files 3] has various shortcomings, it really aroused the emotions of young people when it was released. Everyone can substitute their own lives when watching movies, and the quality of the movie becomes secondary at this time.

It is also for this reason that [Ex-Files 3] can sell 2.3 billion yuan. Otherwise, even with Gu Wei's blessing, breaking 1 billion is almost the limit of ordinary love movies.

[Super Time Cohabitation] does not have the "regret" emotion expressed in [Ex-Files 3], but it tells more of a good love story.

In terms of publicity, the main focus is on the sweetness of the CP between Gu Wei and Liu Yifei, especially the earthy love words in the end credits, which has brought about a wave of earthy love words on the Internet.

It is remade on short video platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou, which is one of the reasons why the movie has such a good box office performance.

"I watched [Ex-Files 3] when it was released, but I haven't had time to watch [Super Time Cohabitation].

After dinner one night, let's go and watch it together?"

Zhou Ye invited with a smile.

Gu Wei glanced at her expectant eyes and touched his chin.

".We can watch a movie, but there are a lot of night scenes these two days. Let's wait for a while, and wait for the popularity of [Super Time and Space Cohabitation] to decrease, otherwise it will be inconvenient to go out."

"I'll listen to you!"

Zhou Ye was secretly excited. If there was a clear favorability number for the relationship with Gu Wei, then watching a movie together would definitely increase the favorability by +10, and the strategy for the idol boss would be further advanced.

"By the way, I remember that the crew had several shooting tasks this morning. Why are everyone resting when I come?"

Gu Wei didn't know that his junior school sister Zhou Ye was treating him as a boss in the game. He looked at the other people in the crew and asked with some confusion.

He came a little late today because he didn't have his own scenes in the morning.

"Ah" Zhou Ye was immersed in his inner drama and reacted when he heard Gu Wei's words.

"Two scenes have been filmed, but there are some minor problems in the crew, which are being resolved, so everyone is taking a break."

"What's wrong?"

"It's the heroine's part. We were supposed to film her shaving her head today, but Zhou Dongyu obviously has an opinion on shaving her head."

As he spoke, Zhou Ye looked around, then moved closer to Gu Wei and whispered:

"I heard that she was very reluctant to shave her head at the beginning, but later the director went over to persuade her, and Zhou Dongyu relented, saying that everyone had to accompany her to shave her head."

Gu Wei frowned after hearing Zhou Ye's words.

There is a scene in the movie [Better Days] where the heroine is bullied and then has her head shaved.

Chen Nian's hair was shaved from shoulder-length to a buzz cut, and Xiaobei also accompanied her to shave her head.

As a girl, shaving her head is indeed a difficult thing to accept, but actors have to change their image according to the plot when filming. After all, you are paid, so some necessary efforts are also reasonable.

"Did the director agree?"

"I think so, but Director Zeng won't say it clearly, and Deputy Director Sun is communicating with them.

Luckily, my role still has scenes, so I can't shave my head, otherwise I would have to accompany him.

Zhou Dongyu is still unbalanced and wants to find a few people to accompany her."

Zhou Ye patted her chest and sighed.

She is still a little unknown in the entertainment industry and can't understand the thoughts of a big star like Zhou Dongyu.

Thinking about it, she looked up at Gu Wei.

'The boss is better. Although he has a higher status, he never puts on airs and is very gentle in his dealings with others.'

"Absurd!" Gu Wei frowned even deeper and yelled angrily.

Although he had heard others say something bad about Zhou Dongyu before, the two of them have been working well together since the filming of "Young You" began. The other party has always had a good attitude in front of him and his acting skills are passable.

Only when something like this happened today did Gu Wei truly understand what Zhang Yishan and Zhou Ming had said before.

"She earns tens of millions for her acting, so she deserves to have her head shaved. The staff only earns a few bucks, so why should she shave her head with her and pay for her willfulness?

I have been filming for so many years, and this is the first time I see someone acting like a big star on my set! "

This was the first time Zhou Ming saw Gu Sheng's angry look, and he was shocked.

"I just came from the dressing room and two staff members had already shaved their heads. However, a few female staff members didn't want to shave. Assistant Director Sun seemed to be doing their job."

After listening to Zhou Ming's words, Gu Wei walked towards the dressing room without saying anything else.

The crew's dressing room.

Zhou Dongyu sat boredly on a chair nearby, playing with his mobile phone with his legs crossed, his head shape unchanged.

On the other side, a fat middle-aged man was talking arrogantly to others. There were two men with shaved heads beside him.

The door opened from the outside and Gu Wei strode in.

"Assistant Director Sun, what are you doing?"

After he came in, he first asked the pudgy middle-aged man.

"Mr. Gu~"

Director Sun saw it was Gu Wei and immediately greeted him with a low eyebrow, completely different from the others.

"Here, let's discuss something with everyone."

In fact, the matter is very simple. It is nothing more than Zhou Dongyu acting big and willful and bullying other staff members in the crew.

This situation is normal in the entertainment industry.

Compared with celebrities, the emotions of a few ordinary staff members are not worth caring about.

However, this kind of thing does not make sense after all, and it is difficult to talk about it outside.

"Discuss something?

Tell me what happened.

Why did these two little brothers have their heads cut off? I remember that they are from the field management team. Could it be that it is too hot in the summer and they cut their hair so short?"

Just as Director Sun was about to say something, Zhou Dongyu's voice came from behind.

"I was the one who asked me to cut it. We're going to be filming a scene about shaving our heads soon. I thought we'd do it together and we could take a photo together afterward to show that our crew is united."

Gu Wei turned his head and took a deep look at Zhou Dongyu.

"It's not necessary, they don't film, and there are girls."

"What's wrong with girls? I'm a girl too, so I have to shave my head too.

It’s only fair that everyone works together! "

Zhou Dongyu looked like it was natural.

"Mr. Gu.

It’s not that I don’t want to cut my hair. I’m getting married in two months and I really can’t cut my hair.”

At this time, a girl who was surrounded said with an embarrassed expression.

"I don't want to get a haircut either. A haircut is the same as shaving my head. It's so ugly." Another girl next to her said in a low voice.

"Your name is Liu Wen, right?"

The girl who started talking was ordinary-looking, she looked to be in her 20s, and her skin was a bit dark.

Gu Wei knew her because she and the other girl next to her were both employees of [Wei Tianxia].

Although "Young You" is the team of "July and Ansheng", most of the employees who are in charge of the filming are the people of director Zeng Guoxiang.

But Gu Wei is the biggest investor after all. When the crew was preparing, some employees from [Wei Tianxia] also joined in and were placed in various teams. There are about 30 Gu Wei employees in the nearly 200-person crew.

"Yes, Mr. Gu."

"Congratulations on your happy wedding in advance. You don't need to cut your hair. How can there be a bride with a short hair?"

After Gu Wei finished speaking, the little girl looked surprised and said gratefully:

"Thank you, Mr. Gu, thank you, Mr. Gu."

"Thank me for nothing. Nothing happened to you in the first place."

"Boss, what about us?" Another little girl next to her also asked.

Everyone else standing together looked at Gu Wei, wondering if he still needed to shave his head.

Even boys would not want to shave their heads if possible, and girls would be even less willing.

"You don't need to cut it!"

Gu Wei said with a smile.

"Very good!"

"I thought I was going to shave my head this time. My short haircut is super ugly."

"Thank you Mr. Gu~"

"."

After Gu Wei finished speaking, everyone talked happily, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became cheerful.

Only two male employees who had already had their hair cut looked regretful.

Assistant Director Sun opened his mouth to say something, but after looking at everyone and Gu Wei, nothing came out.

"Gu Wei!"

Seeing this situation, Zhou Dongyu's voice came from behind.

Everyone's happiness came to an abrupt end.

"Okay, you don't have anything to do here. Let's go out first." Gu Wei ignored Zhou Dongyu and waved to everyone.

The others did not dare to say anything and walked out of the room obediently.

"Dongyu, I don't think there is any need to let other people shave their heads. They are not actors. What's the use of shaving like us?"

Gu Wei controlled his emotions, turned around and spoke to Zhou Dongyu calmly.

In the subsequent plot, he will also have a shaved head, which is the same as Zhou Dongyu's hairstyle.

"I don't care. I can't be the only girl in the crew who shaves her head. I want everyone to shave with me so that it doesn't look awkward.

And Director Zeng has agreed to this."

It's really hard for Zhou Dongyu to make a decision about shaving her head. She is a big star, and it's too ugly to shave her head. It will be difficult to recover for a long time in the future. Otherwise, she can't bear to do something to find a balance.

"We both have to shave our heads. Why do you have to protect them? Isn't it better for everyone to shave together?

This way, everyone in the crew will have the same head shape, and no one will laugh at anyone else."

Zhou Dongyu didn't understand why Gu Wei stopped her. Obviously, they both had to shave their heads, so why didn't he let others accompany them.

And it was obvious that the matter was about to be done. Under the pressure of the crew, these staff members would eventually compromise. As for their own opinions, no one would care.

Gu Wei controlled his temper and asked with a smile.

"What if no one shaves your head with you?"

"I've already told Director Zeng that if others don't shave, I won't shave either." Zhou Dongyu crossed her arms and tilted her head slightly. She also has a temper.

Moreover, she felt that this matter had nothing to do with Gu Wei, and she was not against him, but just made a small request, which was normal.

Gu Wei nodded.

"I hope you don't regret it"

After the voice fell, he no longer cared about Zhou Dongyu and walked out.

The moment Gu Wei turned around, his face instantly sank.

At the same time, he had made a decision in his heart.

After Gu Wei left, Zhou Dongyu regretted it a little, but not for this matter, but because of the tone of speaking to Gu Wei just now.

In her heart, except for a limited number of people in the crew, no one else needs to care.

Lounge.

"Sister Xu, Director Zeng, sit down"

After Gu Wei came out of the dressing room, he asked Yang Dan to invite producer Xu Yuezhen and director Zeng Guoxiang over.

"What's the matter, Mr. Gu? You specially asked both of us to come here," Xu Yuezhen asked after sitting down.

She didn't know what happened in the crew today.

Zeng Guoxiang thought it might be because of Zhou Dongyu's matter, and Deputy Director Sun had already told him about it.

In fact, he thought it was a trivial matter. He comforted Zhou Dongyu as soon as it happened, and then asked Director Sun to communicate with the staff.

It was just a haircut. Since Zhou Dongyu wanted it, let others cooperate with her. After all, she was the Golden Horse Film Queen, and he could still accept this little willfulness.

Gu Wei smiled and told Xu Yuezhen what had just happened.

"Is that so? Dongyu did not consider it. She was a little girl, so she was a little willful. I will talk to her later."

Xu Yuezhen understood what Gu Wei said and immediately smoothed things over for Zhou Dongyu.

This was not the first time they worked together, and she was very clear about Zhou Dongyu's personality. However, like Zeng Guoxiang, she did not think that he did anything wrong.

However, since Gu Wei felt it was inappropriate, Zhou Dongyu's opinion became secondary.

"Haha.

Zhou Dongyu can be so willful, it's nothing more than thinking that she is a big star, the heroine, and others are just ordinary staff.

She can naturally impose her will on others"

"Mr. Gu, not really, Dongyu is just..." Zeng Guoxiang was just talking, Gu Wei raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Director Zeng, listen to me, in fact, I don't think there is anything wrong with Zhou Dongyu, the entertainment industry has always been like this, with clear levels.

But it suddenly occurred to me that it seems that I am the one with the biggest status in our crew."

Gu Wei smiled and looked at the two.

Xu Yuezhen and Zeng Guoxiang looked at each other, not understanding what Gu Wei meant, but still responded with a smile.

"That's for sure, with your fame and status, Mr. Gu, even if you don't mention your identity as an investor, you are definitely the biggest star in the crew"

Gu Wei smiled and nodded.

".You two may know that I started to act in the industry in 2012. My first movie was "The Blade of the Assassin" with my senior brother Lu Yang.

At that time, I was a rookie, a pure newcomer, and the actress I worked with was Liu Yifei, who had been very popular for many years.

In fact, I was quite nervous at that time. After all, our status was too different at that time, and it was not an exaggeration to say that there was a world of difference between us.

Fortunately, Liu Yifei has a good personality and did not look down on me because I was not famous. We became friends after the filming of the movie.

Later, "The Blade of the Assassin" was a big hit, and I directed and starred in "Detective Chinatown", and my fame rose all the way.

No matter who I work with, I am the one with the biggest fame and status.

I am not bragging. After becoming famous, I have never acted like a big shot in acting again, no matter who I work with.

Of course, no one has ever dared to act like a big shot in front of me!"

Speaking of this, Gu Wei's smiling face had completely sunk.

"I didn't expect that I would actually see it today!"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Producer Xu and Director Zeng, and spoke loudly.

"I think Zhou Dongyu is not suitable for the heroine of the movie. We may have to change someone to play Chen Nian!"

"Mr. Gu, isn't it a bit ridiculous to change people at this time?"

Zeng Guoxiang didn't expect Gu Wei to change the heroine because of such a small matter. He has some relationship with Zhou Dongyu, so he naturally doesn't want to change people like this.

"It's normal to change actors if the actors are not suitable for the roles."

Gu Wei turned his head and looked at him with a firm tone.

"I decided to change people as an investor, producer and supervisor. I hope Director Zeng can stand with me."

"Mr. Gu, calm down. I'll let Dongyu come over to apologize to you." Xu Yuezhen also wanted to be the peacemaker. It was not a good idea to change people now.

Gu Wei shook his head.

"It's not a question of whether to apologize or not. I just said that Zhou Dongyu is not suitable for the role of the heroine. For the sake of the movie, we need to change people!

I don't think you two will go against me because of the choice of a heroine. In that case, I may have to consider withdrawing from the crew, and our cooperation will end regretfully."

After Gu Wei said this, Xu Yuezhen and Zeng Guoxiang realized that he was serious.

"Mr. Gu, what you said is too exaggerated. How could it be that far? We have been working together happily since the start of filming, and this happiness will continue." Xu Yuezhen realized that Gu Wei was serious and quickly tried to smooth things over.

"But it has been more than 20 days since the filming started. If we change the female lead now, all the previous scenes will be in vain. Besides, we have a contract with Zhou Dongyu."

"I will be responsible for the losses these days. As for the contract, haha." Gu Wei smiled disdainfully.

"I believe that as long as you two explain it to Zhou Dongyu, she will voluntarily terminate the contract, and we don't need to pay a penny of liquidated damages.

I don't want this matter to get out of hand, otherwise she will be the one who will be embarrassed in the end.

I may be a bit of a bully, but it's okay!

If Zhou Dongyu really doesn't accept it, I can pay her liquidated damages, but I'm afraid her future in the entertainment industry will not be so easy."

Gu Wei's words are very clear.

In fact, in the entertainment industry, temporary replacement of actors happens from time to time, and most of them have signed contracts. There was one time when Yang Zi was not popular. She had already joined the group, but was finally notified to be replaced.

In general, actors will think they are unlucky, because if there is a quarrel, you can get compensation this time because you are right, but no one will ask you to film in the future.

Gu Wei meant the same thing, but he was more ruthless. If Zhou Dongyu dared to make trouble, he would ban her!

With Gu Wei's current influence in the domestic entertainment industry, even if Zhou Dongyu was the Golden Horse Film Queen, it would not take much effort to ban her.

With a few phone calls from him, the film and television companies that had friendly cooperation with him, such as China Film, Wanda, Guangguang, Bona, etc., would no longer use her.

There are so many actresses in the circle, no one would risk offending Gu Wei and have to use Zhou Dongyu.

So what he said about banning Zhou Dongyu was not just empty talk, but it could really be done.

Obviously, Xu Yuezhen and Zeng Guoxiang also knew this.
