Chapter 687 Love Brain and [Do You Know?]

"To be honest, when I first read the script, I also felt that the emotional plot was a bit redundant. The story of [The Climbers] has a prototype, and the main plot is definitely about defending the national honor."

The final Outstanding Feature Film Award was being presented as normal on the stage, while Wu Jing and Gu Wei were chatting quietly below the stage.

"Then you didn't raise any opinions with the film company?"

"I said that, but the director and screenwriter both thought that simply climbing Mount Everest was too monotonous, and that mainstream movies could also have pure love, after all, climbers are ordinary people and have their own emotional lives.
I think that makes sense.”

“The only Hong Kong director I know who can make good mainstream films is Lam Chiu-Hsien.

I have also seen Lee Jen Hong’s works, such as Resurrection of the Dragon, The Imperial Guards, and The Lion King, but I feel that they have too much of a Hong Kong flavor, and their storytelling skills are a little weak. I’m afraid that a film with a main theme like The Climbers will turn into a mountain climbing version of Titanic.”

The more Wu Jing talked with Gu Wei, the more guilty he felt about the upcoming filming of "The Climbers", but there was nothing he could do since he had already signed the contract, and there were personal relationships involved in taking on this film, so he couldn't go back on his word.

"Next month I plan to go to Gangshika Snow Mountain to experience it for a while. No matter what, since I have accepted the film, I have to do my best."

Gu Wei turned his head slightly and glanced at Wu Jing.

“I wish you all the best.”

The award ceremony started at 8:15 and lasted for about 2 hours. After the last program "I Love You China" ended, the 17th China Film Huabiao Awards officially came to an end.

The guests left the stage one after another. In the audience, Yang Mi did not leave in a hurry. He looked up and around.

"Who are you looking for?" The baby next to her asked curiously after seeing her actions. The two of them were sitting next to each other in the venue.

"Nothing. Where is Xiaoming waiting for you?" Yang Mi casually changed the subject.

"He should be backstage after the show just now. I'll go find him."

"Let's go." Yang Mi was a little disappointed when she didn't see Gu Wei, and called baby to get up and walk out together.

After the Huabiao Awards, Gu Wei came out of the Water Cube and went to a restaurant where he had an appointment with Jing Tian.

The midnight snack didn't take too long, as it was mainly Gu Wei who was eating. Da Tiantian only ate a few bites in order to maintain her figure.

Although she didn’t eat much, Da Tiantian still got to eat what she wanted that night.

"Do you have time these days?"

"what happened?"

"I want to invite you to my house for dinner. My parents are in Beijing and I want you to meet them."

Jing Tian's sudden invitation caught Gu Wei off guard, and his big hand that was originally wandering on the other's beautiful back stopped.

Da Tiantian is very beautiful and has a very nice personality, but Gu Wei has no intention of giving up the entire forest for a tree.

But now it seems Jingtian is serious, which is consistent with her personality, she is obsessed with love.

“Well, I really want to go visit my uncle and aunt, but as you know, my schedule is quite full, so I may not be able to spare the time recently.

The drama "Knowing or Not" that I filmed before will be online soon, and tomorrow I have to fly to Changsha to record "Happy Camp".

There are also award ceremonies on various platforms around New Year’s Day, and since they are all partners, I can’t not go, and then there are the New Year’s Eve concerts.”

Gu Wei gave one reason after another, but Jing Tian interrupted him before he could finish.

".I know you are very busy. Even if it is not possible now, you can always spare some time in the future."

She was feeling a little down.

"I didn't tell my parents that you were my boyfriend, I just said that we had a very good relationship and that you took special care of me at work.

They said they would invite you to their home when they have time to thank you in person."

It’s not that Da Tiantian doesn’t know who Gu Wei is. When they were just ordinary friends before, she already knew that Gu Wei was a playboy.

But even though she knew it, she still slowly fell into it after getting in touch with him.

The reason why a scumbag is a scumbag is that he is good enough to make many girls who come into contact with him fall in love with him.

And every girl who falls in love with a scumbag thinks that she is the one who can make him turn back.

Jing Tian has this mentality now. She thinks that as long as she works hard enough, Gu Wei will be moved and come ashore one day.

"Maybe after a while, I'll contact you in advance when I'm free."

Gu Wei held Jing Tian in his arms and said that he didn't know when he could fulfill his promise.

"Listen to you"

#The 17th China Film Huabiao Awards, nearly filmmakers attended, gathering the strongest lineup in the country! #
#10 Best Films won awards, Wu Jing and Chen Jin won the Best Actor and Best Actress awards#
#Lin Chaoxian won the Best Director Award, and [Operation Red Sea] and other films won the Outstanding Feature Film Award! #
The Huabiao Awards ceremony was broadcast live on CCTV-6, and various events that happened that night quickly appeared on the hot search list.

In addition to the normal reports, the scene where Zhang Ziyi was embarrassed by Chen Daoming's questions caused widespread discussion among netizens.

[It's so embarrassing. It feels like Zhang Ziyi was publicly executed. She embarrassed herself in front of the entire film industry and the national audience! ]

[I felt like Zhang Ziyi was about to tap her toes when watching the live broadcast. One second she was bragging about winning three Huabiao Awards, and the next second she didn’t even know what the award was for.]

[This year's Huabiao Awards award ceremony really had no script and was completely improvised. Zhang Ziyi probably didn't expect that Mr. Chen Daoming would be so disrespectful]

[Isn't Chen Daoming a bit aggressive? It's too embarrassing to deliberately embarrass Zhang Ziyi. Can't he be more gentlemanly? She is a lady after all. Why bother? ]

[Are the fans upstairs here to whitewash or to criticize? Your logic is "Ignoring the facts, he is not wrong?" right?

Zhang Ziyi boasted about having won the Huabiao Awards three times, and said she knew the difference between the three major domestic awards, but it turned out that she was at a loss for words.

This is a hole you dug yourself and jumped into, can you blame others? 】

[In fact, the three major awards in the domestic film industry are common knowledge for professional actors. Even some moviegoers know that Zhang Ziyi cannot blame others for her embarrassment this time.]

News and discussions about the Huabiao Awards flooded the Internet, but it had little to do with Gu Wei. The next morning, he said goodbye to Jing Tian and boarded a plane to Changsha.

Backstage at Mango TV, Gu Wei reunited with Zhao Liying, Zhu Yilong, Zhang Jianing, Shi Shi and other main actors of "The Story of Minglan".

"Congratulations, the new Hundred Flowers Award winner~" Zhao Liying was wearing a light blue dress, and her chubby little round face was very cute.

She is not particularly envious of Gu Wei's popularity, but she is very envious of awards such as Best Actor and Best Actor.

Since "Legend of Lu Zhen", Zhao Liying has produced a hit movie almost every year, and her popularity has reached the pinnacle among domestic female stars.

In her vision of her future career, on the one hand, she wants to develop into the film industry and achieve the transformation from a TV actor to a film actor, and on the other hand, she hopes to be recognized by professional awards.

“Thank you, the Hundred Flowers Award is an audience award, it’s based on popularity.

Liying, you will get it sooner or later if you work so hard.” Gu Wei encouraged with a smile. “I don’t dare to think about the movie now, I just hope that after the broadcast of “Do You Know”, I can gain something.”

The movie "Journey to the West: The Women Kingdom" at the beginning of this year made all the efforts Zhao Liying had made to enter the film industry go to waste, and consumed a large part of her popularity and reputation. Now she just wants to make up for it with "The Story of Minglan".

"Don't worry, I have confidence in "Do You Know?". This film will definitely become your new masterpiece after it is broadcast!"

"I hope so"

The recording of "Happy Camp" went very smoothly. Both Gu Wei and Zhao Liying are old friends of "Happy Camp" and are very familiar with the Happy Family led by He Jiong.

Moreover, "Knowing Your Destiny" is a super project that Mango TV has placed a heavy bet on, and it is given the best treatment in all aspects.

In the first half of this year, Mango TV spent 6 million yuan to purchase the TV premiere rights of "The Rise of Phoenixes", but the performance was extremely poor when it was broadcast online during the summer vacation.

The Rise of Phoenixes brought Mango TV a loss of nearly 5 million yuan, and the ratings after its launch set a record low for the channel. Mango TV’s official Weibo account and the Golden Eagle Exclusive Theater even stopped following the crew of The Rise of Phoenixes.

"The Rise of Phoenixes" suffered heavy losses, and Mango TV has placed all its hopes on "The Story of Minglan" at the end of the year, hoping that the show will have a huge viewership and can make up for the previous losses.

Tuesday, October 12th.

After a day of classes, Wang Ying had dinner in the cafeteria and returned to the dormitory.

After a simple wash, he sat down at the desk under his bed and opened his laptop.

"What time is it? Yingying!" The voice of my roommate came from the bathroom.

"It's 19: p.m., and "The Story of Minglan" will be broadcast in five minutes!" Wang Ying answered loudly.

As soon as she finished speaking, a little girl in pink pajamas and a facial mask came over from the direction of the bathroom and moved a chair to place next to Wang Ying.

“Luckily we made it in time”

Both of them are fans of Gu Wei, so they naturally can't miss each other's new drama when it's online.

The time soon came to 19:35 and "Knowing Your Destiny" began to broadcast on the screen.

[Knowing Your Destiny] is broadcast on Mango Channel's [Golden Eagle Exclusive Theater], with two episodes every night from Monday to Friday and one episode every night on weekends.

The two episodes of the day were aired quickly.

The music at the end of the film started playing, and the two girls in the dormitory looked at each other.

"Where's Gu Wei? Doesn't the protagonist appear in the first two episodes?"

"Uh~ Zhao Liying didn't appear either, these were all stories about the two of them when they were young, but the plot was still quite interesting."

"I still want Gu Wei to show up earlier"

Backstage of Mango TV.

Director Tian got all the data of the first broadcast of "The Story of Minglan" as soon as possible.

"Director, the average ratings of the premiere of [Do You Know?] today were 1.14, and the highest ratings were 1.25, which is 0.6 percentage points higher than the successor [That City, This Family]!"

"That's great. Judging from the premiere, the performance of [Knowing Your Destiny] will be fine. I know that Gu Wei and Zhao Liying will not disappoint us!"

Director Tian was in a very good mood. The losses from the summer blockbuster "The Rise of Phoenixes" put too much pressure on him. If it weren't for the huge profit from "Go Go Squid!" at the beginning of the year, he would not have been able to keep his position as director.

"Unfortunately, the top local TV station in terms of ratings is still [Rivers Flow Like a Flowing River], with an average rating of 1.34. [Do You Know?] is still a little behind."

Assistant Xiao Zhang said.

"This is the first broadcast, and the two main actors haven't appeared yet. In my opinion, it will only be a few days before it surpasses "Like a Flowing River"!"

Director Tian said with confidence.

In fact, in the original time and space, the premiere performance of "Knowing Your Destiny" was not very high, with a viewership rating of only 52 in 0.67 cities.

Ranked fifth among local satellite TV dramas of the same period.

It was not until ten days after it was aired that "Knowing" reached the top of the list thanks to its extremely high reputation and started to dominate the screen.

Because of the participation of Gu Wei, the ratings of this version were very high when it was first broadcast. Although it did not exceed the currently popular "Like a Flowing River", judging by the trend, it will only take a day or two to catch up.

On the 26th, the second day after the broadcast of "The Story of Minglan", the adult Sheng Minglan played by Zhao Liying appeared, and the ratings increased slightly again, almost on par with "A Flowing River".

Zhu Yilong also deserves credit for this, as the young master he played also appeared in the third episode.

Zhu Yilong's current popularity is quite high. He has become very popular with his roles in the BL drama Soul of Town and the second male lead Runyu in this summer's hit drama Ashes of Love.

On the third day of the broadcast of "The Story of Minglan", the playboy Gu Tingye, played by Gu Wei, finally appeared. The TV series' ratings soared by 0.2 on that day, and the average rating in 53 cities was 1.57, officially surpassing "Long River" to become the champion of local satellite TV in the same period.

[Gu Tingye finally appeared. If he hadn't appeared earlier, I would have thought Minglan and the young master were a couple! ]

[Zhu Yilong is also very handsome, and the character of the young master he plays is very good. If the male lead was not Gu Wei, I think he and Minglan would be good too.]

[Those who have read the original novel said that the role of the young master seemed good in the beginning, but not so good in the later part. I won’t spoil it here, you will find out after reading it later.]

[After watching the first few episodes, I found the fight between the first wife of the Sheng family, Madam Wang, and the second wife, Madam Lin, quite interesting. Madam Lin is simply a green tea, while Madam Wang is really interesting! ]

[I can only say that Mr. Liu Lin performed well, and Gao Lu is also a talented actor! ]

[Finally there is a new drama to watch, "Do You Know?" has 78 episodes, the next month or so will not be boring! ]

[In the first few episodes, the two protagonists didn’t have too many scenes, but I felt that Hong Lang and the lady were also very interesting, and the house fighting scenes were quite fun.]

【.】

[The Story of Minglan] has been occupying the top spot in ratings since the third day, and its subsequent performance has been getting higher and higher.

After the first week, the ratings exceeded 2, and the highest single-day ratings in the second week even exceeded 3. It can be said that it has booked the annual ratings championship in advance.

The online broadcast data also ranked first without a gap. After 10 days of broadcast, the online broadcast volume exceeded 30 billion, ranking first among TV dramas in the same period.

Every day there are several hot searches discussing the plot on the list, and all kinds of data are exaggeratedly high, which can be called a phenomenal hit drama.

December 12, backstage of Mango TV.

Gu Wei is rehearsing for Mango TV's New Year's Eve concert.

At tomorrow's New Year's Eve concert, he and Zhao Liying will take the stage together to sing the theme song of "Knowing or Not".
