Many viewers are very satisfied with Gu Yi's ability to play the leading role in Immortal Immortal.
Because the protagonist of Immortal Immortal is very handsome, generally speaking, the protagonist is written to be more handsome, so that readers can feel more involved.
But just when Bai Cha had just written the statement to Song Fuxing for review, he received a call from Wangong.
"Hello, are you Mr. Song? I'm Wangong."
"Oh, it's Director Wan." Song Fuxing said calmly.
Song Fuxing did not give a good tone to the director who planned to kill first and then tell the story later.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Song. I also want to apologize to Teacher Gu Yi when I have the opportunity. I know it's really not a good thing for us to do this, but I think this protagonist is very suitable for Gu Yi to play. In addition, I called you some time ago and the call has not been answered, and then Party A is pressing hard, so I will publicize it first."
Hearing what the other party said, Song Fuxing became even more angry.
"So you just made the publicity on your own without consulting us?"
"I'm really sorry. You are in Yanjing now. Otherwise, I would be the host and have a drink to apologize to you."
"That's no need. Gu Yi and I are also very busy." Song Fuxing refused without thinking.
"Oh, we did something wrong indeed, but you see that things have reached this point, and I have also looked at the feedback from fans, whether they are fans of Gu Yi or fans of the book Immortal Immortal Regardless of book fans, they actually think Gu Yi is quite suitable for this role.
Moreover, we are also making a large-scale production this time. We have received 80 million yuan in investment so far, and about 50 million yuan should be received in the future. By then, whether it is the transformation or the special effects in the later period, we will definitely be able to follow suit. It’s worth it, because we also plan to shoot on location.”
But before the other party could finish speaking, Song Fuxing interrupted: "Wait a minute, Director Wan, first of all, Gu Yi doesn't like you cutting first and then telling the story later. This is disrespectful to Gu Yi. Secondly, Gu Yi doesn't care who this year's successor is. There is no schedule for half a year or the first half of next year, so no matter what the reason is, Gu Yi will not play any role in this drama."
But obviously, these words were within Wangong's expectation: "Mr. Song, it doesn't matter. As long as Gu Yi is willing to star, the crew can wait until the second half of next year. After all, you also know that if you want to find a suitable actor for a drama, The role is really difficult, as it requires both an image and acting skills. We are really sincere here, and we plan to give Gu Yi a salary of 50 million yuan for this drama."
"No, no, no, this is not about money. Although 50 million is a lot, if you can ask in advance, maybe this play can still be discussed, but now that this kind of thing has happened, we will become very passive, so I'm afraid we can't cooperate, and this is what Gu Yi means."
After Song Fuxing finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
After telling Baicha that there was no problem with the manuscript, Baicha sent out the statement.
First of all, it is to clarify that Gu Yi will not appear in this TV series, and the crew has not had any contact beforehand. It is completely the other party's own behavior. Secondly, this behavior is very disrespectful to Gu Yi, so after careful consideration Afterwards, Gu Yi does not plan to participate in the film and television production of this IP.
Finally, he asked the other party to immediately remove all propaganda related to Gu Yi from the shelves.
As soon as this announcement came out, many fans and passers-by were a little confused. On the one hand, it was said that Gu Yi would play the male lead in "The Immortal Immortal". On the other hand, it was said that Gu Yi would not play the role, and there had been no contact with the crew.
"Which part of what is said is true? Is the crew planning to use this method to force the wife to have a baby?"
"I think it's Gu Yi's problem. He signed the contract first and then regretted it. Could it be that he felt that the money given was not enough?"
"Not necessarily. It's also possible that the crew found Gu Yi first and then An Jie. An Jie is a newcomer that Sun Yan and his company have been promoting in the past two years. Now the momentum is very strong, so he has usurped a lot of Sun Yan's Resources, some time ago there was news that Sun Yan wanted to terminate his contract with the company, but the company did not agree, so Sun Yan took the civil service exam."
"I think it's very possible. Gu Yi and Sun Yan are classmates. Although they had some conflicts in the past, they seem to have a good relationship now. Moreover, An Jie seems to often mock Sun Yan from the company's perspective on Weibo. , so Gu Yi quit after learning that An Jie was also going to play a role."
But Wangong is at Sun Yan's company at the moment.
Looking at these teams on the Internet, he asked: "Director Wan? What are we going to do now? Are we also going to issue a statement?"
Wangong nodded: "Of course the statement must be issued."
Moreover, Wangong had already prepared this statement.
If this method can get Gu Yi to agree to star, then this statement will naturally be unnecessary. But now that Gu Yi has not chosen to cooperate, this statement will be useful.
They first removed all previous online promotional materials, and then issued a reply statement.
"I'm sorry that the cooperation between Changshengxian and Teacher Gu Yi has ended due to force majeure. We deeply regret that we were unable to cooperate this time. We hope there will be more opportunities to cooperate with Teacher Gu Yi in the future."
The content of this statement is strange and evasive, without any substantive content.
This is also one of Wangong's plans. After issuing this statement, one day later he will say that Anjie will be the male lead in this adaptation.
In fact, no matter whether Gu Yi appears or not, they will not lose money.
If Gu Yi plays the role, firstly, it will bring huge traffic to this adapted drama. Secondly, Anjie has now reached the top of the A-list. As long as he can cooperate with Gu Yi once, then they will hype it up and wait until the topic Anjie can be promoted to the top if the discussion level increases.
But now that Gu Yi has not acted, An Jie naturally becomes the male lead. Coupled with the popularity and public speculation that Gu Yi refused, An Jie can also be promoted to the top.
In other words, this drama was actually made for Anjie.
Wangong is also a friend of the company here, and Gu Yi can only be regarded as the fuel for Anjie to be promoted to the top.
But Song Fuxing naturally couldn't let the other party use Gu Yi as a tool.
So that day, he took Bai Cha and held a video conference with the company headquarters in Hangzhou.
And Gu Yi also joined in.
"Gu Yi, are you interested in this drama? If so, let's cooperate."
Xiao Wang, director of the company's public relations department, said.
Because from their point of view, Gu Yi's profit from starring in this drama is still very large. The main reason is that the drama itself is very popular and the salary given by the other party is also high. If it is really a big production, then there is nothing wrong with acting in it. .
After all, this is an exchange of interests.
But Gu Yi shook his head: "Actually, I'm not very optimistic about this drama. Although it is said to be a big production, the level in our country is still far from enough. Many so-called big productions actually don't know how much money they really spend on post-production and kimono transformation." It's really hard to say on the road.
The second reason is that I don't like their behavior very much, and now they have said that the cooperation will be terminated. If I go back, it will look like I am eager to take advantage of other people's traffic.
The third reason is that there are no actors with acting skills in this drama. Although Anjie’s fans are bragging about it, his level is just that. I also asked Sun Yan before, and Sun Yan said that this drama was made just for I praise Anjie, so the other actors don't have any acting skills, they are basically just traffic. "
But listening to what Gu Yi said, Ning Xiu could probably guess that the fourth reason why Gu Yi didn't mention it was that Gu Yi and Sun Yan were good friends now, and Sun Yan and An Jie were enemies.
"Okay, if that's the case, let's prepare for public relations. We will all publish some statements around the official Weibo of Gu Yi Studio, and then Gu Yi will forward it. Ordinary refutations and quarrels with each other will be made by Gu Yi. Post them one by one here, and then follow up on Baicha's side, and use our other entertainment accounts to also forward them.
Fuxing is responsible for reviewing these contents, and also monitors the public opinion on the Internet. If something new comes out, we can adapt accordingly.
The company's President Wang will be responsible for guiding the rest of the topic. The company's own matrix marketing account is responsible for such things. In addition, we will find some marketing accounts from outside when the time comes, and it will be almost the same. "
Ning Xiu finally concluded.
Ning Xiu didn't ask for anything from Gu Yi.
Because she knew that Gu Yi acted in a measured way and knew what to say and what not to say.
In fact, if he were not an artist, Gu Yi would be a natural public relations genius.
"Why is Director Wan so reserved in his words? Isn't it because he failed first and then reported? I suggest Director Wan directly say that this Gu Yi is ungrateful. He put all the money in front of me and didn't know how to pick it up. It also saves everyone the guessing, but If we want to clarify next time, it would be better to release relevant evidence to make it more powerful."
In fact, this matter is not a big deal. If the other party apologized properly on Weibo, saying that they just wanted to gain popularity, and then had a better attitude and removed all promotional information, Gu Yi would not be so choked. .
On the contrary, if the other party does this, it is obvious that he is destined to be defeated.
It means that you have made a mistake and you are not convinced by your heart and you are not convinced by your words.
However, there was no immediate response from Wangong.
Instead, he spent the rest of the night re-releasing the official announcement and making a new poster stating that An Jie would star in the TV series as the male lead of Immortal Immortal.
The crew's official Weibo said that Anjie's fans are the happiest.
What is clear below is all criticism and criticism.
Some of Gu Yi's fans couldn't stand it anymore and ran over to jeer at him, but they were told again: "Gu Yi won't let others act if he doesn't want to act. Is he so overbearing? It's amazing to be a top-notch person. A top-notch person can bully An like this." Jie? Originally, Anjie just wanted to play a supporting role for Gu Yi, but now it's fine, we would also like to thank your Gu Yi for bringing Anjie this incredible wealth."
"Is there something wrong with what the director did? Isn't Gu Yi just ignorant? He thinks you are suitable for this role, but you are not happy with it?"
Seeing this, those fans laughed.
If it were other top fans, they might scold him back, but Gu Yi's fans have been honed through countless hardships.
It would be too vulgar to scold him back.
"Then it's not enough for you to thank me. You've already received incredible wealth, so why don't you just verbally thank me?"
"Little sister, you are so beautiful. I now declare that we are husband and wife. I hope you will not marry me quickly without knowing what is going on."
And below this comment are:
"I wish you a happy marriage and a son soon."
"Sir, you are truly righteous. He sacrificed his life to blow up manure pits and eliminate harm for the people. I admire him."
"That's it, I suggest you marry him as soon as possible. I will follow suit when the time comes."
This made the fan so angry that he called them bastards.
"Although I'm the lower-end guy, you still let me get the upper hand, so do you want to get married?"
"nausea."
"It doesn't matter if I'm disgusting, you've made me a little tempted, so do you want to get married?"
"roll."
"Okay, I'll roll into your heart right now. I looked at the almanac and it's a good day in a week. Let's go get the certificate. My bride price is ready."
Finally, the young lady blocked this person.
Others watched with great joy.
"This is no better than the Spring Festival Gala. I can't watch it anymore. I want to save it for the New Year."
Others follow the same pattern.
Since they think it's okay, there's no problem in doing it themselves.
However, Gu Yi still sued Wangong.
In doing so, Wangong violated Gu Yi's portrait rights.
Before the other party deleted it, Starlight Media’s lawyers had already fixed the evidence.
So even if they deleted it, it would be of no use.
At the same time, Gu Yi also contacted the original author of the book. The original author also knew that the adaptation of his work was making a fuss.
But he also said that his copyright was bought out and did not involve money sharing. It was none of his business how the TV series was adapted in the future.
So now he has got the money, and the other party apologized to Gu Yi by the way, because he felt that the other party was so stupid because when they were discussing the copyright, he casually mentioned that he wanted Gu Yi to play the leading role.
Gu Yi thought that since the other party didn't know about this and seemed to be a fan of him, it would be easy to handle.
Then Gu Yi tentatively asked the other party's attitude towards this matter and explained why he didn't take the photo because he really didn't have time.
Next year, in addition to a movie that he has already promised, he will also have a concert. In addition, Yu Feng has also thought of a new script theme. He will conceive and polish the script this year, and filming will definitely start next year.
The original author was actually very disgusted with what the crew did. After all, many people came to scold him for doing this. But in fact, this matter had nothing to do with him. Although the copyright was bought out, he also wanted to Watching this work being shot seriously.
At the same time, he also expressed that he could understand Gu Yi, and said that many of his characters were actually written based on Gu Yi as a template. When describing the appearance of the male protagonist, he also looked at Gu Yi's photos to describe it.
But then the other person said that he had recently opened a new book, which was still about the fairy tale genre, but in his previous books he had a harem, and he planned to write a big heroine in this book.
"Teacher Gu Yi, I would like to ask, what is the price if I ask you to write a song? I really like my current book, so I want to get a theme song for this book, and then get some for some of the main characters. Character song.”
Gu Yi thought for a while, if he could have a good relationship with the original author, he could also stop some people's mouths.
"How many songs do you want?"
"Four songs, one for the theme song, one for each of the two main characters, and one for each other."
In fact, this author is not short of money. His monthly royalties alone are more than one million, and the copyrights of all his previous books have been sold, including games, animations, and movies and TV series.
So as long as it's not four songs and the price is several million higher, he'll accept it.
On the one hand, Gu Yi's consideration is to use these songs to stop their mouths, and on the other hand, he is to further expand his influence through these creators.
Even though you are writing songs for the other party, the copyright of the song is still in your hands. At most, you can authorize it to the other party and use it when promoting the book.
If the copyright of the other party's new book is sold in the future and adapted into animation or film and television series, you will still have to spend money if you want to use the song.
"Actually, I rarely write songs. The songs I write are basically sung by myself or by people in our band. But for out-selling songs, a complete song costs basically one million. In addition, I want to take another share.
But if you just want the right to use these songs within the scope of the work, one hundred thousand, I only want one hundred thousand for four songs, but you have to help me clarify this matter, after all, this kind of thing still has some impact on me Yes, if the original author could speak for me, my situation should be much better. "
When the author heard this, he thought to himself that this was nothing. Anyway, he had already got the money and the transaction with the other party was completed. It was not a big deal to say a few words for Gu Yi, because this was what he felt in his heart. Thoughts, even if he didn't say them, he still had to explain them, otherwise those people would come over and scold him when they saw the crew messing around, which would be a big deal.
"Okay, then I'll post a single chapter tonight to talk about it, but isn't the one hundred thousand yuan a little less?"
"It's okay, just make friends. In fact, I usually like it, and sometimes some ideas pop up in my mind. It's just that I don't have time to do it, so I admire you for being able to update so many words every day. , and a particularly good writer.”
"Haha, that's no problem. Teacher Gu Yi, I have made a decision to be your friend. Will you be in Yanjing during this period? If you are, I will be going there soon. I would like to treat you to a meal. By the way Let’s talk about the songs again.”
"Yes, come on, I'll treat you to a meal when the time comes. After all, it's all on my side, and you are the guest. There is no way for guests to spend money on treats."
"No, no, no, I still have to ask you to help me write four songs for 100,000 yuan. I can't even dream of doing this."
Then Gu Yi agreed half-heartedly.
The author mentioned it in a single chapter that day.
The general content was that what happened to his last work, Immortal Immortal, had nothing to do with him. After all, he couldn't get involved with the crew, so he thought of calling Gu Yi to apologize.
But he didn't expect that Gu Yi was particularly easy to talk to. Taking advantage of the situation, he mentioned that he wanted to ask Gu Yi to compose some songs for his new book. He had already planned to spend several million, but he didn't expect that Gu Yi would only accept it. One hundred thousand.
He even promoted Gu Yi's concert later, asking book friends who were interested to go and watch it and support it.
"Brother Jealousy is so popular. Even Gu Yi can be contacted. It's amazing, amazing."
"Awesome, the original author personally came to help clarify. It seems that this matter is really not Gu Yi's responsibility."
"Does four songs cost 100,000 yuan? Doesn't it sound a bit expensive?"
"It's really not expensive. If you find a college student from the music school to write a song, it might not cost you so much. But Gu Yina is a top star in both the music and film circles. He usually attends events and the appearance fee starts at a million. If he performs Each work costs tens of millions.
Four songs cost 100,000 yuan, which is a bargain price. It’s no different from getting it for free. "
However, Gu Yi chatted with the other party on the phone during the day, and opened the other party's book at night and read it. He found that the writing was really good, but the book is not on the shelves yet, and he can't subscribe even if he wants to. .
So Gu Yi ordered all the other party's previous books, and then directly rewarded this book with a golden alliance.
Selling four songs for 100,000 yuan was really a bargain for Gu Yi. He didn't expect to make money from this, and as far as the chat on the phone was concerned, the other party was actually quite nice.
He even said that when he sent out the chapter, he wanted to take the initiative to apologize, and then Gu Yi would forgive him, which gave Gu Yi enough face.
After posting, Gu Yi left another comment.
"It's the first time I've seen it online. The writing is really great. Come on, I'll write an additional BGM for you later."
"Erdan's true identity suddenly appeared."
"It's really impressive now. It's hard not to think about whether this book will be popular or not."
"What's going on with Erdan's ID? What's Gu Yi 114514? It looks weird."
Gu Yi 114514.: "I couldn't register my own name. It was said that my nickname was occupied, so I randomly chose a recommended ID with numbers."
"Hahaha, my name has been taken, why does it sound a bit funny?"
The author himself looked at Gu Yi and said he would receive 100,000 yuan. However, he hadn't paid yet, so Gu Yi rewarded himself with another 100,000 yuan.
He was so moved that he posted another single chapter, thanked him deeply, and said that he would add ten more chapters in the future.
"Damn it, is the old dog so generous this time? He actually added ten more chapters? I've given rewards before, so I just want to thank you."
"Thank you, Boss Erdan, for your generous reward. I don't want to say anything else. From now on, whenever you hold a concert, I have to go, and whenever you make a movie, I have to watch it." (End of Chapter)
