China Entertainment's whatever you want

Chapter 209
On January 1, the epic love novel [Taiping Wheel] released for more than a month, only made 8 million box office.

Big investment, big production, and the joining of top actors from China, Japan, and South Korea did not make the film's box office go any further.

Facts have proved that if the film is not well shot, no matter how famous the actors are, it is useless.

The combination of Zhang Ziyi, Jin Chengwu, Huang Xiaoming, Song Huiqiao, and Nagasawa Masami still has no effect, and the audience just doesn't buy it.

Brother Xiao Ming never thought that the big productions of international directors would not beat the low-budget romantic comedies he starred in at the box office.

【The best life for a coquettish woman】was also screened a few days ago, with a box office of 2.3 million, slightly more than 【Taiping Wheel】.

But the cost of this love movie is less than one-fifth of that of "Taiping Wheel".

Gu Wei now somewhat understands why from this year onwards, those traffic stars are so popular with the capital, and why the two returned from Korea are favored by film and television companies.

Now there are many well-known actors in the film and television industry. Although they have a big celebrity and a high degree of nationality, their box office appeal is very mysterious.

With a good script and a good director, the box office may explode, but if the director or the script is bad, the movie will also be ugly.

But the traffic stars are different. The traffic stars at this time in 15 still have their own fans.

No matter how bad the movie is, fanatical fans alone can hit hundreds of millions of box office. As long as the cost of the movie is controlled, it is very easy to pay back.

If some passers-by can be fooled into watching the movie, or the quality of the movie is better, then it is only natural to get a high box office.

Before that, the best example is director Guo Xiaosi.

Although he is not a traffic star, his movies are completely fan movies. No matter how bad the movie is, he can make a lot of money just by relying on book fans.

Of course, the current Gu Wei has no right to criticize others, because he is also one of the stars who have received traffic benefits.

In 2014, two popular TV series attracted him countless fans, including some diehard fans and fanatics.

An ancient puppet and a live puppet also allow Gu Wei to attract audiences with different preferences in an all-round way. Whether you like to watch costume dramas or modern dramas, there is always a Gu Wei that is suitable for you.

As of now, at the beginning of 15, it is not an exaggeration to say that Gu Wei is the male star with the most fans in the younger generation of domestic entertainment.

Although Lu Han and Li Jiaheng are very popular, they have just returned to China after all, and no works have been released yet.

Their fans are basically brought over from EXO, so they are quite limited, and there are many young people in China who don't pay attention to Hallyu.

The Three Little Ones have just started to gain popularity in the past two years, and their popularity is still gradually accumulating. They have to wait until after the Spring Festival Gala to gradually become a household name.

The older generation of traffic stars, like Zhang Han and Han Geng, have not had any good works online in the past two years, and their popularity has declined somewhat.

Especially Zhang Han, after breaking up with Zheng Shuang in June 14, not only his popularity plummeted, he was also chased and scolded by many fans of Shuangzi.

In October, he posted a photo of himself eating beef noodles on Weibo, and fans of Shuangzi commented below, "Zheng Shuang is so thin, do you still have the mood to eat beef noodles?" abusive.

Throughout 2014, Gu Wei stood out among the young male actors in domestic entertainment, and his excellent works allowed him to gain both popularity and word-of-mouth.

It is precisely for this reason that Anle Film and Television is willing to spend a lot of money to invite Gu Wei to come to the rescue, because it has seen the traffic that comes with him.

[Wei Wei] The staff of the production team have returned to Beijing one after another, and the director Lin Yufen has started to devote the main work to the post-production of the TV series.

As a modern drama, this TV series is relatively simple to make in the later stage, but the screens related to games in the TV series are a little more labor-intensive to produce.

There are specialties in the art industry, and the editing and post-production of TV dramas are naturally completed by the director and editor. Gu Wei only needs to wait for the finished film to come out.

Director Lin gave Gu Wei an estimated time, and the post-production of [Wei Wei] can be completed in about two months.

This speed is already very fast, thanks to the fact that [Wei Wei] is a modern drama, and it only has 30 episodes.

Like Gu Wei’s previous film [Gu Jian Qi Tan], it took more than a year from post-production to release.

In the evening, after leaving the company, Gu Wei took a car to the Louis Vuitton store in the nearby shopping mall to buy a lady's bag, and took a bouquet of bright red roses from the flower shop on the street.

The car drove to the underground parking lot of a high-end residential area, and Gu Wei took the elevator upstairs by himself.

He walked to the door of a house with familiarity and rang the doorbell.

Soon, the door was opened.

Zeng Li was wearing light brown home clothes, a pair of pink slippers on his feet, and his hair was combed into a refreshing bun. When he saw Gu Wei at the door, a bright smile appeared on his beautiful face.

"Miss Li, I'm back.

This is a gift for you. "

Gu Wei said as he handed over the flowers and the bag containing the bag.

"Thank you~"

Zeng Li took the flowers and gifts, but didn't look at them carefully. Obviously, her happiness had nothing to do with the gifts, but because of Gu Wei's arrival.

Putting the things aside, bent down to help Gu Wei take out the slippers from the shoe cabinet.

Although the home clothes were a bit loose, this movement still showed the beautiful curves of a mature woman in front of Gu Wei.

After entering the door, Gu Wei took off his mask and hat, and hung his coat on the hanger beside him.

"Go and wash your hands, I have prepared all the meals."

Zeng Li arranged the shoes in the entrance and talked to Gu Wei.

After a while, both of them were seated at the dining table in the restaurant.

There were four dishes and one soup on the table, two meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes. Although he was a vegetarian, because Gu Wei was coming, Zeng Li thoughtfully cooked two meat dishes.

Gu Wei was not polite, picked up the delicious white rice, and began to eat the vegetables.

He was indeed a little hungry after a busy day.

The rice has a strong aroma and is soft and delicate. Gu Wei sandwiched a piece of braised pork ribs. The taste is crispy and the meat is tender. It feels like Zeng Li's cooking skills have improved again.

"Mmm~ It's delicious, sister Li, your cooking skills are amazing.

She is definitely a model of a good wife and mother. "

"It's delicious, eat more~"

Zeng Li was also very happy to hear Gu Wei's praise and see how delicious his meal was.

There was a big smile on his face, and a pair of beautiful big eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

She picked up the rice, took a bite of the fried potato shreds in front of her, and started eating.

Under the yellow light in the kitchen, the two sat quietly on both sides of the small dining table to eat, and the atmosphere was very warm for a while.

Zeng Li took two mouthfuls of food, looked up at Gu Wei who was devouring his food, and was in a daze for a while.

It is now 2015, and she still clearly remembers the scene of meeting Gu Wei for the first time when she auditioned for the film [Detective Chinatown] at the beginning of 13.

When she saw Gu Wei for the first time, she thought the director was so young and very handsome.

She graduated from the Acting Department of Chinese Opera, and she thinks she has seen many handsome guys in the industry for many years, but Gu Wei's appearance is also the top among the actors she knows.

Later, I accidentally got the news that I was selected, and through slow contact, I gradually learned about Gu Wei's temperament.

But at that time, she only regarded Gu Wei as a handsome and gentle boy.

Never would I have thought that I, who is nearly 40 years old, would have a relationship with this big boy who is almost a generation behind me, and I have maintained it until now.

She knew clearly in her heart that with the age difference between the two of them, there would be almost no future.

So after the filming of "Tang Detective", she never took the initiative to find Gu Wei.

I just hope that as time goes by, the relationship between the two will gradually fade away, and finally return to the distance of ordinary friends.

It's a pity that when Gu Wei came to her from time to time, she couldn't refuse at all, and could only be gentle.

Fortunately, Gu Wei brought her all good things.

Youth, vitality, and enthusiasm made her, who has always been alone, feel a joy that she has never experienced before.

In career, Gu Wei also gave her a lot of help.

[Tang Tan] After the film was released, her acting career, which had not improved for more than ten years, also ushered in a new development.

Originally, she could only play a supporting role in some film and television dramas. After the movie was released, many heroine scripts gradually came to her.

Looking at Gu Wei's young and handsome face in front of him, Zeng Li sighed secretly in his heart.

"My friend~"

"Sister Li, what are you thinking?"

After eliminating a piece of ribs in the bowl, Gu Wei noticed that Zeng Li looked at him in a daze.

"Ah~ nothing~"

Zeng Li came back to his senses and concealed his words.

"I'm thinking that there is a TV show looking for me, should I take it?"

"What TV series? Tell me about it."

Gu Wei asked curiously.

"A TV series jointly directed by two directors, Li Jun and Li Xiao, is called [Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou Don't Believe in Tears]. They asked me to play the heroine."

Zeng Li said.

Indeed, there was such a TV series looking for her. It started after the new year. She had already read the script and thought it was not bad.

"[Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou don't believe in tears]?"

Gu Wei said to himself.

He has a little impression of this drama. Although it is not a TV series with a high ratings, its broadcast performance is considered to be above average among TV dramas in the past 15 years.

The original version seems to be played by Ma Yili and Zhu Yawen. Now because of his butterfly effect, the heroine has found Zeng Li.

"I've heard people talk about this TV series, sister Li, you can continue."

Gu Wei said.

"Okay, listen to you."

Zeng Li agreed with a smile.

She didn't care much about whether she would accept the TV series, since Gu Wei said so, then let's move on.

After eating, Zeng Li sent Gu Wei to have a rest, and cleaned up the dishes by himself.

Gu Wei was not polite either, he came to the living room, sat on the sofa, and swiped his phone boredly.

Today there are two films released on the market, one is Wang Jiawei's "The Great Master" (3D), and the other is Lu Han's first film after returning to China "Back to 20".

The reason why [The Great Master] is marked with 3D is because this movie was released in 2013, and after two years, a 3D remake was made and re-released.

It's impossible to get a high box office, but with Wang Jiawei and [The Great Master] brand, they can still make some money.

Although Gu Wei didn't like Wang Jiawei very much, he had to admire that his movies were really good.

"The Great Master", which took 10 years to complete, although investors were deceived, the film also won numerous awards after its release.

In the past few years, Zhang Ziyi's reputation and personal image have almost completely collapsed due to her involvement in the "Triple Gate" turmoil. In the Chinese film circle, there is no room for her to live at all.

But the release of "The Grandmaster" turned her around and almost returned to the top.

In this movie, she dedicated her impeccable acting skills and won 12 best actresses including Golden Horse Awards and Academy Awards.

Her experience has also told all the actors in the entertainment industry that as long as you have real strength, you can turn over even if your house collapses, of course, the premise is that you don't break the law.

[Returning to 20 years old] From the promotion to the release, it has been playing the Lu Han card, but in fact, the real protagonist of this movie is Yang Zishan. You can tell from the name that this movie is about the heroine played by Yang Zishan , from the story of an old lady returning to a 20-year-old girl.

Lu Han can only be regarded as the second male number in the movie, but whoever makes him the hottest now, it is understandable for the producers to use his banner to promote.

This world is fair, if the movie is promoted under the banner of Lu Han, if the movie sells well at the box office, then everyone will naturally attribute the credit to him.

After a while, Zeng Li finished cleaning up in the kitchen, came over and sat next to Gu Wei.

"What are you looking at?"

"See what movies are coming out recently."

After speaking, he put down his phone and hugged Zeng Li in his arms.

The big beauty is fragrant and soft, and it feels great to hold her in her arms.

"Don't make trouble~"

Zeng Li's face was a little red, and he struggled slightly in embarrassment.

"No trouble, just want to get closer to Sister Li."

Gu Wei whispered in her ear.

Now Zeng Li's ears turned red.

Gu Wei didn't go any further, just hugged Zeng Li quietly.

Zeng Li didn't move either, the two enjoyed a moment of warmth quietly.

"Sister Li, do you blame me?"

After a while, Gu Wei suddenly asked.

"Why do you ask?"

Zeng Li was a little strange.

"We had very few chances to meet each other throughout last year. We usually just sent WeChat or made phone calls. I thought you would be upset."

It was Zeng Li who was in Gu Wei's arms and turned around to face him.

Looking into Gu Wei's clear eyes, he reached out and slowly stroked his young and handsome cheek.

"Fool, how can I blame you, I have been in the industry for almost 20 years, of course I know how busy you were and how popular you were last year.

Our business is like this, once you join a filming group, you won’t see anyone for a few months, and I’m very happy if you can think of me once in a while. "

"When our rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala is over tomorrow, I'm going to join the group again. The movie I promised before has been waiting for me.

Originally, I wanted to stay with you for a while when I returned to Beijing this time. "

Gu Wei said in a low voice.

"You are still young and your career is important. Sister Li is here. Whenever you have time, come and find me. I will always be here."

Gu Wei looked at Zeng Li's glamorous face, it was a beautiful face in green clothes, the real majestic beauty, even the years could not diminish its beauty, it could only add a mature charm to it.

He just felt so lucky to be favored by such a beautiful woman in this life.

After he had a relationship with Zeng Li, for almost two years, Zeng Li never made any material demands on him.

Even though they haven't seen each other for a long time because of work, they never expressed any dissatisfaction with him.

Every time they meet, they talk softly, wrapping him gently like water, never asking for anything, but satisfying all his requirements.

Thinking of this, Gu Wei stood up and hugged Zeng Liheng.

"Ah, what are you doing?"

Zeng Li was caught off guard by Gu Wei's sudden movement, and wrapped his arms around his neck.

"Sister Li, I miss you~"

Gu Wei looked into her eyes and said softly, then walked towards the bedroom with Zeng Li in his arms.
