Chapter 653: With a Background, You Can Continue to Improve

On May 28, when Gu Wei was filming in the crew, a shocking news was revealed, like a bomb dropped into a calm lake. Maybe the purpose at that time was to blow up a certain fish, but its power would definitely affect other fish living in the water, and no one could escape.

The cause of the incident was a movie directed by Feng many years ago, called "Cell Phone".

At that time, the movie had very good reputation and box office, and it could be said that it was both popular and well-received, but one person was very unhappy, and he was the former CCTV host Lao Cui.

The reason was that the protagonist of "Cell Phone", Yan Shouyi, was also a famous host. The program he hosted was called "Say What You Want", which was 70% consistent with "Tell the Truth" hosted by Lao Cui in reality.

And this Yan Shouyi was a man with an unclear emotional life. In addition to a normal marriage, he also maintained a long-term lover relationship with Wu Yue, played by Fan Bingbing.

What's worse is that he later suffered from depression, which made the audience think of Lao Cui in reality.

After the movie was released, many people felt that Feng's movie was a reflection of a famous host, which brought a lot of unnecessary trouble to Lao Cui's life.

Later, Lao Cui communicated with Feng about this matter, hoping that he could make a statement, but Feng was in high spirits at that time, so he would not pay attention to such a request, and he was too lazy to even perfunctorily respond, so the two of them had a grudge.

In the blink of an eye, 15 years have passed. Two months ago, Lao Cui got the news that "Cell Phone 2" had started filming, so he couldn't sit still and communicated with Huayi, Feng, and even the screenwriter Liu Zhenyun again, but the result was naturally ignored.

Fan Bingbing sent a Weibo at this critical moment.

"May is very happy on the set of the movie "Cell Phone 2"!"

Attached is her beautiful selfie.

So Lao Cui later completely exposed some unspoken rules about contracts and taxes in the film and television industry. The public was in an uproar, the official intervened, and the most enthusiastic ones were directly left in the cold.

A group of big and small stars in the film and television industry began to take the initiative to pay the previous taxes.

On Monday, the second week after the incident, film and television stocks fell collectively after the A-share market opened.

Huayi, listed in Hong Kong, saw its share price plummet by more than 20% at one point.

As of midday close, the market value of 10 leading film and television companies, including Tangde Film and Television and Huanrui Century, had shrunk by a total of 10.7 billion yuan!

In recent years, a large amount of capital has poured into the film and television industry, causing the pay of stars to rise again and again, and the production costs of film and television dramas have also increased rapidly. This turmoil has also calmed down these hot money.

From then on, taxation has become the most important thing for all film and television companies and stars.

"Is there no problem with the company?"

When the turmoil occurred, Gu Wei asked for leave from the mountain city and flew to Hangzhou. Although he had expected it and had always been very cautious, he still called Yang Liwen.

"Don't worry, boss. The company pays taxes according to the rules every year. We dare not make any mistakes. Our colleagues in the finance and legal departments are the most professional and will never let the company have any omissions in this matter.

In addition, the company is a Class A tax-paying enterprise in Beijing. It has been rated as an advanced tax-paying enterprise and a star enterprise in the city in the past two years. There will definitely be no problems.

According to your meaning, the artists under the company are also taxed uniformly by the company. Although the taxation of several studios under the company is independent, the personnel are all from the company and will be subject to regular audits, so there is no need to worry."

Yang Liwen said a lot. She knew very well that the boss attached great importance to the company's tax issues.

At first, she didn't take it seriously. She felt that her boss was too honest. There were too many people in the circle who evaded taxes. It has become a default unspoken rule. The boss's behavior seemed a bit stupid.

However, Gu Wei repeatedly explained this matter, and she did it according to the requirements. After all, it was the boss's money. He didn't feel sorry, and others couldn't say anything.

Now that this incident happened, she realized that the boss is the boss, standing high and seeing far.

At this stage, the country is vigorously rectifying the tax issues in the entertainment industry and the film and television industry. Everyone is paying back taxes, only [Wei Ming Tian Xia] and its artists are sitting on the Diaoyutai, unaffected.

Ordinary audiences and netizens are not aware of this kind of thing, but there are no secrets in the circle. The good reputation of [Wei Ming Tian Xia]'s artists will be beneficial to future dramas. At least the sudden explosion of actors will not make the film and television dramas become waste that cannot be released.

More than a month has passed since the first episode of [Produce 101] was broadcast on April 21.

101 female group players, after layers of selection and several promotions, only 36 players are left.

As the competition continues, these 36 players will have two more screenings, 36 to 22, and the final 2 to 1 finals, and only 11 players can debut as a group.

Early that morning, 36 girls gathered in a lecture hall.

"101 Little Radio is here to announce to you, I am Wang Ju, I am Sunnee"

The other contestants were sitting in the audience, and Wang Ju and the other contestants were selected as temporary hosts, reading the script given to them by the program team.

".As the final date approaches, we are very fortunate to have invited a special teacher to give us pre-match coaching."

"First of all, he is the top idol star in mainland China, with countless loyal fans."

"Secondly, he has produced a lot of classic works, which are deeply loved by fans of music and movies."

The two of them read the host's words in unison on the stage, and the 34 girls below also made exaggerated responses in coordination. Although everyone didn't know who the mentor was, the show would always be effective after recording for such a long time.

Yang Chaoyue was undoubtedly sitting among a group of girls. Although her best score in the first two rounds of evaluation of [Produce 101] was only Class C, she received unexpectedly high votes in the two rounds of selection from 101 to 55 and from 55 to 36, and advanced to the next round with the third and second place respectively.

This result was not expected by the 101 girl group members, and even Yang Chaoyue herself was very surprised.

Recently, the comments on her online have not been very friendly.

Other contestants, whether singing or dancing, always have their own skills, but Yang Chaoyue is a bit good at nothing, and her singing and dancing are very bad.

However, every time it was her turn to speak, she performed very well, giving people a sense of authenticity and unpretentiousness. Coupled with her advantages in appearance, she won the love of a large part of the audience.

Moreover, Yang Chaoyue found that the mentors of the program seemed to be particularly tolerant of her, especially Huang Zitao, the initiator and chief producer of the girl group who had the most contact with her, who was particularly gentle when talking to her.

[Produce 101] is the same as the Super Girls of the past. The contestants try their best to show themselves on the stage. Whether they can advance is not decided by the mentors, nor by how you perform. It all depends on the audience's votes. Whoever has more votes will be ranked first.

At present, the first place in the two rounds of advancement is Wu Xuanyi and Meng Meiqi. Both of them are trainees under Lehua. They debuted in the group [Cosmic Girls] and have a certain reputation. In addition, their professional skills in singing and dancing are indeed strong, and many audiences like them.

Yang Chaoyue is very clear about her level. Judging from her performance on the show, there are many people who are better than her among the 101 girl group contestants.

At first, she felt a lot of pressure in her heart. After all, her current ranking is indeed a bit unworthy of her position, and it must be uncomfortable to be talked about by others.

Moreover, because of the huge difference between her performance and ranking, she ranked second after advancing to the top 36 in the last round. Yang Chaoyue sensitively felt the gap between her and other female group players.

In fact, this situation is inevitable. She is not strong enough and cannot convince the public by luck.

However, Yang Chaoyue knows that her current ranking may not be explained by simple luck. Apart from the attitude of the mentor, when she watched the previous few episodes, she clearly felt that the program team cut more shots of her face.

[Produce 101] has a total of 101 contestants, and each episode is only 120 minutes. The time for everyone to show their faces in each episode is very limited. If the audience can't remember you, how can they vote for you.

Yang Chaoyue carefully discovered that she almost had the most shots in each episode. When she thought about the several times she contacted Sister Yang Dan, the other party warned her to perform well and not to worry about the rest. She knew a little about her high ranking.

After all, she had been with Gu Wei for a while, and she also learned some of the unspoken rules in the entertainment industry from the mouths of people around her. It is normal to have shady and secret operations.

Moreover, after she advanced with high votes in the last two episodes, although there were many complaints about her on the Internet, Yang Chaoyue guessed that it might be the company behind her doing marketing operations for her because she didn't know where her nicknames of "Lucky Star" and "Koi" came from.

After thinking about these, she felt that the pressure on her was much less, and she didn't care so much about the attitudes of the people around her.

She believed that since the boss protected her, she must have a place in the last 11 places to debut.

Wang Ju and Sunnee finished reading the host's words and returned to the girl group. The field began to sound cheerful background music, and then a tall figure walked in from the door.

"Hello, everyone!"

Gu Wei walked into the room in a casual and relaxed outfit, smiling and waving to the 36 girls in the room.

"Ahhh! It's Gu Wei!"

"Gu Wei, oh my god, I'm not seeing things!!"

"Wow! Idol! Idol!"

"This is the first time I've seen Gu Wei in person. He's so handsome. No, I need to slow down!"

"The program team is so awesome. They actually invited Gu Wei to cheer us up. That's awesome!"

"."

After Gu Wei entered the room, the atmosphere in the room reached its peak. All 36 girls were excited and turned into little fans in seconds. If they didn't have a trace of rationality and knew that this was a recording program, they would have rushed forward to get in close contact with their idol.

Yang Chaoyue was also very surprised. Her performance was not as exaggerated as others. After all, they had seen him every day before and had long passed the stage of chasing stars. However, her eyes were wide open, and she didn't believe that the boss could come.

It was normal for Gu Wei to come to participate in [Produce 101] today.

He came to cheer for the top 36 female group members, to help the program team attract more attention, and also to promote the movie that was about to be released.

After a while, the girls in the room calmed down. They stared at Gu Wei in front of them with wide eyes, like Zhu Bajie looking at the ginseng fruit, almost drooling.

"Hello everyone, I am Gu Wei, very happy to see you all here~"

Gu Wei introduced himself, and the girls screamed again.

"I have been watching this show since the first episode of [Produce 101] in April. After dozens of days of hard training and multiple rounds of selection, it is really not easy to get to this point." After everyone calmed down a little, Gu Wei began his speech.

Just like Wang Ju and Sunnee said at the beginning, he came here today to give these girl group members pre-match coaching, but this coaching is not to teach singing or dancing, just to meet and interact with everyone to cheer them up.

"I believe that everyone here is excellent, and you are already the winner for getting to where you are today.

There are two more rounds of selection to decide the final 11 people who will debut. I hope that each of you can adjust your mentality and perform at your best on this stage. No matter what the result is, the most important thing is to leave no regrets."

"Okay!"

"Sure, Teacher Gu Wei!"

"Teacher, please sign for me!"

"."

After Gu Wei finished his encouraging words, the girls agreed and started to cheer again. He found that he felt a bit like Tang Sanzang entering the Kingdom of Women.

However, he knew that it was normal for him to be popular. He looked around with the microphone, paused at the assistant, and looked at her.

Then, according to the pre-arranged program flow, he asked a question.

"After such a long period of practice and competition, what do you think of this stage now? Do you want it to end immediately, or do you want to stay a little longer, or do you never want it to end and stay on this stage forever?"

After asking this question, the 36 girls made group choices according to their wishes, and then Gu Wei interviewed them one by one, starting with those who wanted to end immediately, and asked everyone to say what they thought now.

Somewhat to his surprise, the assistant chose to end immediately.

When the microphone was handed to her, Yang Chaoyue, who was wearing pink short-sleeved shirts and pink shorts, stood up.

"I think it's not easy for me to get to where I am now. I'm really working hard.

It's just that the pressure I'm facing is too great, so I want to end it quickly"

"I watched your performance. Although it's not the best, you have tried your best. It's really great. I hope you can withstand the pressure and keep going!"

Gu Wei smiled and encouraged generously.

After all the girls finished speaking, Gu Wei gave them some encouragement, then said goodbye to everyone and ended the recording.

"Brother Wei, shall we have dinner together later?"

After leaving the room, Huang Zitao came up to him.

"Sorry to bother you this time."

"Hey, it's nothing, I didn't help much, and your assistant is really cute and her words are very interesting."

Gu Wei smiled.

"What are you going to treat me to?"

"Brother Wei, you have the final say, as long as you don't eat Hangzhou cuisine, anything is fine. The local cuisine in Hangzhou is really not delicious. The first time I tasted the famous West Lake vinegar fish, I almost vomited."
