Chapter 31 The Young You
"I originally wanted to get Tencent to invest in me in exchange for music and TV drama resources. If you'd also like to take a stake, what can you offer me?"
Gu Yi spoke calmly.
Wang Changtian hadn't expected him to have such a clear goal, but it was better to cooperate with someone like that.
After all, ambitious people are easier to manage and more likely to succeed.
He turned to look at Sun Yonghuan.
"Are there any suitable projects for him recently?"
Sun Yonghuan looked at Gu Yi's buzz cut and thought for a moment.
"Director Tsang Kwok-cheung of 'Soulmate' is going to work with Chow Tung-yu again for the Best Actress award. I can recommend you to audition for the male lead."
"Is there a script?"
Gu Yi immediately pressed for more information.
He knew in his heart that Zeng Guoxiang and Zhou Dongyu's second collaboration would most likely be the movie that later became a huge hit, "Better Days".
Simply in terms of timeline,
This movie should have already been filmed.
Sun Yonghuan got up and left the office. A few minutes later, she returned with a script and placed it in front of Gu Yi.
He saw the words "Better Days" prominently displayed on the cover, quickly flipped through a few pages, and made up his mind.
This drama is definitely a boost from the Best Actress award. Even if Zhou Dongyu's looks aren't great, as long as she can land the male lead role, her status will rise after the drama airs.
This will save him a lot of detours, and when he films a TV series, it will be like he's descended to earth.
As long as the design is suitable,
You can act in whatever role you want.
"no problem."
Gu Yi closed the script.
"But I'll sign a formal contract with you after I get the male lead role."
"You were born in a mountain city and your appearance fits the character's description, but we can't agree with your acting skills."
Sun Yonghuan pointed it out bluntly.
"I have confidence."
Gu Yi's tone was firm.
"I'm afraid that if I audition, I won't be able to compete with the others."
Behind Millennium is Alibaba. This year, he first starred in "The Longest Day in Chang'an" and then served as the spokesperson for Double 11. His resources are exceptionally strong.
He could win Best Actor at a young age in the future.
Alibaba deserves much credit.
"Other investments can be signed first."
Wang Changtian made the final decision.
"I have no objection to that."
Gu Yi persisted.
"I'll invest 1000 million in 'Ne Zha,' wanting a 15% share. Is that too much to ask?"
"Too many."
Wang Changtian flatly refused.
"5%!"
"Mr. Wang is joking."
Gu Yi smiled.
"I have no problem with you bidding high prices for good projects, but that's not necessarily true. And with a maximum budget of 5000 million, asking for 15% isn't unreasonable."
Wang Changtian looked at the paper money.
Jiaozi quickly waved his hand.
"I didn't say that."
In his heart, he cursed the two foxes, one big and one small, for how he had just reminded them, yet they handled it with such ease.
10%.
Wang Changtian relented.
"Can."
Gu Yi nodded.
"But I also want 10% for the second one."
Wang Changtian fell silent.
Last year, fiber optic investments in animations like "Yesterday's Blue Sky" and "Have a Nice Day" all resulted in losses. He really couldn't understand why Gu Yi was so persistent about animated films.
But this at least shows that in Gu Yi's mind, his cooperation with fiber optics will not be short-lived.
I thought about it for a long time.
I still can't figure it out.
He nodded in agreement.
"Let's sign the contract for the first film first. As for the second film, we can discuss cooperation after you get the lead role in 'Better Days'."
"It's a pleasure working with you."
Gu Yi extended his hand.
"Don't talk to Teng Xun yet."
Wang Changtian grasped his hand.
"Once you get the lead role, we'll represent you to negotiate, including investment for 'Make a Name for Yourself'."
"no problem."
Gu Yi withdrew his hand.
"However, I must clarify that my investment company and studio are separate entities. Otherwise, if you invest and then take a cut, I'll be at a loss."
"I understand."
Wang Changtian nodded.
Sun Yonghuan took out her phone.
"Stand up, I'll take a picture."
"what?"
Gu Yi raised an eyebrow and stood up.
"Send it to Director Zeng. If he agrees, you can go for the audition."
As Sun Yonghuan spoke, she said that the filming was already done, and then sent over the information she had collected about Gu Yi.
"You should have said so earlier."
Gu Yi shrugged.
"I'll dress nicely."
"All done. I'll go prepare the investment contract for 'Ne Zha' and the investment agreement for 'Your Wedding' first."
Sun Yonghuan put away her phone, turned around, and walked out of the office.
"Come on, have some tea."
Wang Changtian poured a cup of tea for Gu Yi and Jiaozi, then looked at Jiaozi.
Are you relieved now?
Jiaozi chuckled, revealing a set of white teeth.
"I'm relieved, I'm relieved."
Gu Yi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and found the tea to be rich and fragrant, but he couldn't suppress his excitement.
-----------------
at the same time,
Mountain City NA District,
Sheraton Hotel conference room.
Zeng Guoxiang put his phone on the table; the screen was still showing Gu Yi's profile.
"What do you all think of Gu Yi?"
"Their looks are alright, but their online traffic is much lower compared to Millennium!"
Xu Yue was in a bit of a dilemma.
"Not bad at all. He gained 500 million followers on Weibo in a week. If he can attract fans from the e-sports and music circles, then the box office of this movie will be half secured."
Zeng Guoxiang lit a cigarette.
"Moreover, he is a local of the mountain city and did not go to university, which is equivalent to dropping out of school. At 21, he does not need to deliberately act mature, which is more in line with Xiao Bei's age than Qianxi."
Xu Yuezhen sighed.
"That's what they say, but the problem is that someone from Alibaba called last week, practically telling us to give him the male lead."
"I initially chose Lu Han. If he hadn't refused to cut his hair short, this movie would probably have started filming much earlier."
Zeng Guoxiang looked at Zhou Dongyu.
"Dongyu, what do you think?"
Zhou Dongyu looked at Gu Yi's information.
"I don't think it matters. As long as an actor can handle the role, that's fine. You guys are discussing this now, but you should wait until he passes the audition before talking about it."
"Let's have him audition, and we'll see what happens."
Xu Yuezhen nodded in agreement.
"OK!"
Zeng Guoxiang picked up his phone and sent Sun Yonghuan an address and audition details via WeChat, telling Gu Yi to come over for the audition as soon as possible, as they were always available.
-----------------
the other side,
The CEO's office at Fiber Optics.
After reviewing the two contracts, Gu Yi had his previous lawyer check them again before signing his name in the signature column.
Sun Yonghuan stood to the side.
"It's all settled. I've sent you Director Zeng's WeChat, the audition footage, and the address. He wants you to go to Chongqing for the audition as soon as possible; they'll be there these next few days."
Gu Yi saw the address on his phone and quickly got up.
"Then what are you waiting for? I'll go to the mountain city for the audition right now."
"So urgent?"
Wang Changtian was somewhat surprised.
"Why aren't you leaving after we've finished talking?"
Gu Yi joked.
"You haven't told us about your studio's plans yet, how are we supposed to invest?"
Wang Changtian pressed for further details.
"I'm the only one in the studio right now. My original plan was to study while making a name for myself through filming. This audition was really unexpected."
Gu Yi explained with a smile.
"read?"
Sun Yonghuan was stunned when he heard this.
"What books should you read?"
"Beijing Film Academy".
Gu Yi spoke calmly.
"Vocational college?"
