Chapter 168 needs extra money!
The flippancy on Gu Heng's face vanished, replaced by astonishment and shock, and he suddenly raised his voice.
"who!?"
"Doesn't your father-in-law know he's my junior apprentice?!"
At this point, all the viewers were on the edge of their seats, expecting what would follow to be a heartwarming drama of brotherhood, with the protagonist righteously refusing the sugar daddy's offer.
In the scene, Nie Yuan lets out a disdainful sneer, his eyes filled with contempt: "Someone like you, would you even care about these things?"
Just then, the camera zoomed in.
The look of astonishment on Gu Heng's face vanished instantly.
He turned his head and glanced to the side, then spoke in a heartbroken tone.
"Father-in-law, you've misunderstood. This person is my dearest friend, my brother!"
He paused deliberately.
"You have to pay more!!!"
The video ends abruptly there.
"I've already taken my pants off, I'm all ready to cry, and you're telling me I have to pay more?!"
"My dearest friends and family, you need to pay extra!!"
"Hahaha! I get it now, it's not that they won't kill them, it's that they haven't been paid enough!"
"That's outrageous! This role is practically tailor-made for Director Gu! I'll buy a ticket, okay?!"
Once the trailer was released, all of Chang Chen's cool action scenes and Liu Shishi and Tang Yan's stunning looks paled in comparison!
All these netizens have on their minds right now is "We have to pay more!"
Vision's move was absolutely brilliant; the trailer alone has completely ignited the audience's anticipation.
Some enthusiastic viewers even pleaded with Yuanjian and Gu Heng, begging them to release the film earlier than planned.
Early release? That's absolutely impossible!
Movie release dates are all set in black and white well in advance; a change in one thing can affect the whole situation.
Besides, this isn't the era of later generations when copyright awareness was awakened. What's most common on the market now?
There are so many pirated DVDs!
If you really dare to hold a large-scale preview screening several days in advance, believe me, the moment you finish the screening, pirated DVDs for five yuan a piece will flood the streets and computer malls!
Before the movie is even officially released, the box office will be sucked dry by those pirates. Where will you go to cry then?
So, I'm sorry everyone, but you want to see the lay Buddhist who charges extra?
We can only wait patiently.
During this period, Gu Heng's life was quite regular. Apart from going to the company to check on the progress, the most important thing he did every day was to have long phone conversations with Little Fox.
Yang Mi on the other end of the phone would always chatter on about the strange things that happened on Hollywood film sets.
"Gu Heng, let me tell you, this foreign film crew is absolutely outrageous! The moment the time's up, they don't care if you've finished filming or not, they just pack up and leave! They work a full eight hours a day, not a second more!"
Yang Mi was ranting on the phone.
This kind of work ethic would have earned him a severe scolding from the director in a domestic film crew, but in Hollywood, it's called union policy.
After venting her frustrations, the little fox softened her tone, her voice sweet and affectionate as she began to whine that she missed him.
Although the two of them often went to different film sets and were not together in the past, they were both in China at least, so if they really missed each other, they could just take a flight to see each other.
But this time it's different; this is a foreign land across the ocean.
Actually, it wasn't just Yang Mi who was thinking about it; Gu Heng was thinking about it a lot too.
Having grown accustomed to having a soft, fragrant little fox in his arms every night, Director Gu was somewhat unaccustomed to suddenly sleeping alone in an empty bed.
"At least you have Xiao Hei to keep you company at home..." Yang Mi muttered pitifully on the other end of the phone, "I'm all alone here. I don't know anyone in the crew. Apart from the staff from Yuanjian, there's only Uncle Huang here."
Hearing this, Gu Heng imagined Huang Bo's distinctive face, then looked at Xiao Hei lying in the living room, and smirked, "Hey, what's the big deal? It's fine. They're both dark-skinned anyway, just pretend Xiao Hei is with you."
Upon hearing this, the little fox on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.
"Haha, that's so apt."
All the sadness and sorrow I felt just now were completely wiped away by this brilliant reply.
Huang Bo, who had just finished memorizing his lines in Los Angeles, suddenly sneezed several times in a row. He rubbed his nose and wondered what was wrong with him.
"That's strange. The California sun is so strong, how could I possibly catch a cold?"
A few days later, the Cannes Film Festival in France officially kicked off.
Ning Hao and his creative team for "No Man's Land" marched confidently toward Cannes.
This time, they've made it into the main competition, and Director Ning is truly going all out to win this honor.
However, Gu Heng didn't go to join the fun this time. He didn't have any works to participate in the exhibition, so going there would only mean walking the red carpet and watching others show off, which was quite boring.
So he only sent a few people from Yuanjian who were in charge of publicity and business negotiations to go with Ning Hao's team, to help Director Ning out.
This is why Gu Heng dared to do this. If it were any other boss in the industry who loved to show off, they wouldn't care whether they had any work to show for it or not. They would have already brought a bunch of female celebrities to crash the red carpet, release press releases, and outshine everyone else.
Director Gu is obsessed with making money right now; he has no time to go through the motions that don't pay any money.
