Chapter 230 Independent Home
In the past few days, Gu Heng has received quite a few special rewards from the little fox.
The meals were naturally arranged by the little fox himself.
Oysters, lamb kidneys, turtle soup—they're all being served in turn, and they're all supposed to be super nutritious!
Gu Heng, a vigorous young man, could hardly withstand such intense feeding.
He was full of energy every day, as if he had inexhaustible strength.
Sometimes, lying paralyzed in bed at night, Gu Heng felt terrified.
She was so excited because a low-budget film called "Love is Not Blind" (失恋33天), which cost just over ten million yuan, was a huge hit.
If they create a blockbuster film with hundreds of millions in box office revenue in the future, wouldn't that be amazing?
Gu Heng simply couldn't believe it!
Even kidneys would probably protest.
People outside the industry say that Yang Mi's current status and achievements are all thanks to Gu Heng.
The key point is that the little fox himself thinks so too!
She didn't feel embarrassed at all; on the contrary, she was quite self-righteous.
What's wrong? Why don't I cling to my man's leg? Do you want to leave it for those little vixens outside to cling to?
Gu Heng didn't think much of this statement.
Anyway, she's my woman, so I'll just pamper her.
And to be honest, Little Fox was the one who started everything for "Love is Not Blind" from beginning to end.
I oversaw the script myself, found the director myself, and cast the actors myself.
Gu Heng essentially acted as a ruthless money-printing machine, giving a production fee of ten million.
The current boss, Mr. Yang, is addicted to being a boss.
She now aspires to be like Ning Hao, personally involved in every project.
I want to be an independent homeowner in this new era.
When it comes to independence, some young people are taught by their parents from a young age that one must be independent.
You can't rely on others.
So they started to mature physically and mentally from the age of 12 or 13, and that was true "independence"!
When something happens, rely on yourself.
When something happens, rely on yourself.
Ultimately, he was harmed by wine and women, and had no choice but to resort to alcohol.
I have to say, this kind of independence is really a bit demanding...
Shortly after "Love is Not Blind" became a box office hit and was released in theaters.
The long-awaited "Go Fighting!" on Dragon TV has finally premiered!
One issue per week.
The level of popularity was absolutely terrifying!
The first episode just aired, and the entire internet exploded.
Audiences have never seen a celebrity behave like this before.
They scheme and cheat each other, showing absolutely no concern for their image.
After three episodes, the effect was nothing short of terrifying.
Memes such as "King of Looks" and "Qingdao Noblewoman" have become popular across the internet.
Zhang Ruoyun, who was just a newbie and relatively unknown in the industry before, has skyrocketed from a newcomer to a second-tier star!
Is this the unreasonable ability of phenomenal, nationally popular variety shows to promote people?
That's absolutely outrageous!
Prior to this, Vision Entertainment had just officially announced that Zhang Ruoyun would be the male lead in the "Joy of Life" project.
Many people online and within the industry think that Gu Heng was too hasty in his personnel decisions.
Now? People don't think that way anymore.
Some intelligent people even stroked their chins and pondered.
Is Director Gu deliberately creating this show, "Go Fighting!", to pave the way for Zhang Ruoyun?
This treatment is worse than that of a biological son!
If Gu Heng weren't only in his early twenties, everyone would suspect that Zhang Ruoyun was his illegitimate child who had been living away from home!
Some netizens even made fun of and complained about it on Weibo.
Once "Joy of Life" airs, this show might as well be renamed "Fan Xian and His 6 Fathers".
There are two more outside of the show.
Time flies, and it's already early December.
After spending dozens of days eating hamburgers and pizzas in New York, Ning Hao finally flew back to Beijing with the crew of "Detective Chinatown 2".
Bao Qiang, Zhu Yilong, and the others really enjoyed their performances.
The budget for this sequel is incredibly generous; the crew is practically untouchable on the streets of New York.
However, along with Ning Hao's crew, there was also an acquaintance who surprised Gu Heng.
Wen Ziren.
Since "Insidious" raked in over $100 million at the North American box office.
The Chinese-American director didn't sit idle either; he took the opportunity to write the outline and script for the second film, following up on the first.
He had previously worked very well with Gu Heng.
There's no other reason than that Boss Gu is ruthless and doesn't talk much, and most importantly, he gives out way too much money!
Upon hearing that the Visionary crew was filming in New York, he naturally wanted to continue clinging to this powerful patron.
And just as filming for "Detective Chinatown 2" wrapped up, he flew over with Ning Hao.
We arrived at Vision Entertainment.
Gu Heng personally received Wen Ziren in his office, and the two discussed matters related to "Lurking 2" over tea.
James Wan's attitude remains pragmatic. When discussing the sequel, he still refused a fixed salary and only asked for a share of the box office revenue.
But this time, the share has been raised to 20%.
This is perfectly reasonable, after all, he is now an internationally renowned director with box office earnings exceeding 100 million, and his net worth has multiplied several times over.
Gu Heng agreed without hesitation.
Not only that, Gu Heng also took the initiative to make a condition.
"Director Wen, if you still have ideas for a sequel after this movie, then let's make it happen in advance."
"If there's a third or fourth installment in the future, I'll give you 25% of the profits from each one!"
When this condition was presented, James Wan was immediately stunned.
Gu Heng brought this up himself!
Where else can you find capitalists who not only don't exploit but also actively raise prices?
Gu Heng knew that the "Lurking" series could be made into a full 5 parts!
Don't worry about the reputation.
But each one is a prime example of achieving great returns with minimal investment, with returns of more than ten times!
What's the big deal about giving 25%?
As long as James Wan can maintain this brand, Vision will be making a fortune in the North American market!
They've made a fortune!
After finalizing all the details, Gu Heng signed the document with a flourish.
That evening, he treated Wen Ziren to a lavish meal at a private restaurant in Beijing.
Over the next few days, Gu Heng also fulfilled his duties as a host, sending people to show him around Beijing for a few days.
After being treated to good food and drink, Wen Ziren happily pocketed the new contract.
He boarded a flight to Los Angeles, beaming with excitement as he returned to prepare for the film crew's production.
After that, Gu Heng didn't stay idle; he immediately joined Tiangong Special Effects Company.
The post-production of Edge of Tomorrow is now Vision's biggest money pit and its top priority.
In the editing room, Guo Fan, sporting two huge dark circles under his eyes, stared intently at the exoskeleton mecha shots being rendered frame by frame on the screen.
My hair looks much thinner than before.
Gu Heng walked in, patted Guo Fan on the shoulder, and teased him.
"Guo Fan, judging from your hairline, you have the potential to become a renowned director."
