China Entertainment's whatever you want
Chapter 712: You can start bidding
Chapter 712 We can shoot together
On April 4, the 20th Beijing International Film Festival was held at the Huairou National China Film Digital Production Base.
At 5 pm, the red carpet area outside the venue was already surrounded by reporters who came to film and interview, and the guests also walked onto the red carpet one after another in their best attire.
Reba arrived early. Under the media's flash lights, she walked to the center of the shooting location wearing a golden long dress like a goddess descending.
Since becoming famous, Reba's aura has become stronger and stronger. It is said that fame nourishes people, and in the entertainment industry, which is a place of fame and fortune, this sentence is very reasonable.
The character that Jiaxing created for her is the beauty queen of the domestic entertainment industry. Reba has a beautiful appearance with three-dimensional features, a height of 168, and a very good body proportion, with a small head, big breasts, a slim waist, and long legs. She can handle any style of dress, so she always has a stunning performance every time she walks on the red carpet.
Bingbing has now disappeared from the domestic entertainment industry because of what happened last year. Reba has taken over her baton of dominating the red carpet and is praised by the media every time she walks on the red carpet.
Coming down the red carpet into the lounge, many celebrities and artists present were resting and chatting here, waiting for the ceremony to begin.
Reba found a seat and sat down. A lot of people came to the film festival awards ceremony today. Not to mention foreign filmmakers, there were no less than 100 famous domestic filmmakers. It could be said that it was a star-studded gathering.
Unfortunately, she was the only person from Jiaxing who showed up, and she hadn’t met most of the other stars. Reba was not an outgoing person, so at this time she could only sit there quietly and pretend to be a lady.
After a while, a few people came in through the door. Reba, who was originally bored, brightened up when she saw them and then stood up.
"Gu Wei~"
The people who came in were the crew of "The Wandering Earth".
Gu Wei was wearing a black suit, and was accompanied by director Guo Fan, screenwriter Gong Ge'er, visual effects supervisor Xu Jian and others.
Wu Jing was unable to come back because he was filming "The Climbers".
"Reba, you're here quite early~" Gu Wei greeted Reba with a smile when he saw her coming over.
The two separated after the plane landed yesterday. He went back to the company and Reba also had her own work to do.
"I have an opening act, so of course I have to be there early."
"The opening dance, right? The frontier dance?"
"No, it's a bit like ballet, like the Four Little Swans. You'll know when the show starts~"
"Okay, I'll watch your wonderful performance later."
After chatting for a few words, Reba went backstage to change clothes and wait for the show, while Gu Wei greeted and chatted with various people in the lounge.
A lot of people came to attend the film festival awards ceremony today. Some had their works shortlisted, while others were entire crews who came to promote their works.
For example, in the crew of "The Captain", Yu Dong led the main creative team to the scene.
Gu Wei was originally approached for this movie, but he turned it down, and the male lead is still Zhang Hanyu.
We are all old friends, so we can't help but chat for a while after meeting.
".[The Wandering Earth] was shot so well, with a box office of 53 billion and many honors.
Why didn’t I have the foresight to invest in this drama in the first place?”
After chatting with Gu Wei for a few words, Yu Dong looked at Guo Fan and others beside him and said with envy.
"Director Guo, if you need any help from Bona in the future, please let me know."
"Mr. Yu, this is wrong. Why are you trying to poach people in front of me?" Gu Wei said with a smile.
"I'm not trying to poach someone. I just admire Director Guo's talent and want to have a good relationship with him."
"I appreciate Mr. Yu's kindness. We will definitely work together if there is a suitable opportunity in the future." Guo Fan accepted Yu Dong's kindness. Since the success of "The Wandering Earth", people have been around him showing him kindness.
The time was almost up and all the people present entered the ceremony hall one after another.
As an international film festival, the Beijing Film Festival attracts many foreigners, including some faces that are very familiar to domestic audiences.
".That's Sophie Marceau, French Kiss, so beautiful!" Guo Fan exclaimed as he looked at the white woman in a black dress not far to the side.
Gu Wei also saw it and turned to look at Guo Fan: "Do you like her?"
"I like her movies, she was so beautiful in [First Kiss]~"
Gu Wei nodded.
"She was really beautiful when she was young, but it's a pity that white actresses can't resist aging. French Kiss is already over 50, and beauty is fading."
The two chatted and the ceremony began soon.
Gu Wei saw Reba on the stage as he wished.
She was wearing a golden ballet costume with delicate and three-dimensional facial features. Against the backdrop of the dancers around her, she looked like a golden swan princess.
Reba has been learning to dance since she was young, so performing on stage is not difficult for her. Every time she raises her hands or stretches her legs, her movements are graceful and charming.
The dance lasted for about two minutes. Her show was one of the opening medleys, and she had to leave the stage quickly after the music ended to make room for the next performer.
The lights on the stage dimmed, and Reba accidentally fell while jogging from the center of the stage to the side.
Because the ballet shoes and white body-con pants she was wearing were slippery, the fall caused her to slide forward more than two meters.
However, Reba did not delay. She used the momentum of the fall to get up and walked off the stage in a slightly embarrassed manner.
Many people in the audience saw this scene.
".Is Miss Reba okay?" Guo Fan obviously saw it too. He knew that Gu Wei had a good relationship with her.
"Well, it looks like there's no big problem. I just fell down." Gu Wei said, "It's nothing." He took out the phone from his pocket and sent a message to Reba.
The award ceremony went on as normal and there was no change due to this minor mistake.
It took about 20 minutes for Reba to reply.
"It's nothing, I just fell and it hurts a bit.
Wasn't that particularly embarrassing just now?"
"No, because of the dim light, not many people saw it. Your dance performance was great and your reactions were very quick."
"Woo woo, I'm always stupid and tend to mess things up~"
"Haha, it's okay, wait for me when you're done, and let's have a midnight snack together after the ceremony."
"OK."
After sending a few WeChat messages to Reba, Gu Wei turned his attention back to the award ceremony.
This year's Beijing International Film Festival lived up to its name, with most of the awards going to participating foreign films.
Only the Best Screenwriter award was given to Chen Jianbin, the screenwriter of the movie "The Eleventh Chapter", and the Best Supporting Actress award was given to Dou Jingtong of "The Eleventh Chapter".
[The Wandering Earth] was not in vain and won the Best Visual Effects Award.
Foreign films and actors who won the Best Director, Best Film, Best Actor and Best Actress awards.
"What's going on with this Beijing International Film Festival? Even if they don't favor local films, it doesn't have to be like this, right?" Gu Wei watched the award ceremony with a frown on his face.
The Beijing International Film Festival has been held since 11, which was the year Gu Wei made his debut.
The following year, "Knife of the Assassin" was shortlisted for an award, and Gu Wei went with Lu Yang to participate. Although he did not win the award, he clearly remembered that "The Grandmaster" was the biggest winner of the film festival that year, winning several heavyweight awards including Best Actress.
Now, seven years have passed, and the Tiantan Awards has turned into a carnival for foreigners.
"The organizers want to internationalize the festival and expand its influence internationally. This year, there are only two Chinese on the jury, Cao Baoping and Liu Jialing, and the rest are foreigners," Guo Fan explained in a low voice in Gu Wei's ear.
After [The Wandering Earth] was nominated for the "Temple of Heaven Award", he learned about this film festival in detail.
"Internationalization?" Gu Wei curled his lips with disdain.
He has always believed that if one wants to have authority and influence, the most important thing is to be strong oneself, rather than relying on giving benefits to others.
As the saying goes, “When you say blooming comes, butterflies will come.” After the award ceremony, Gu Wei was about to leave when he was stopped by La Peikang.
".I heard from Guo Fan that he has two plans for the sequels of The Wandering Earth. After discussing it with you, do you suggest that he shoot the prequel first?"
"Yes, I think there aren't many stories to tell in the prequel, so we can film it first."
“I talked to Guo Fan and according to his plan, it would take at least three years to shoot the second part, and another three or four years to prepare for the third part after it is released.
Is it possible to shoot the second and third parts together?
This way, after the film is finished, The Wandering Earth 2 can be released in the first year, and The Wandering Earth 3 can be released in the second year.”
Gu Wei understood what La Peikang said and frowned slightly.
“Of course you can, but it’s a bit too hasty.
I have discussed with Director Guo before that the investment in "The Wandering Earth 2" will definitely be much larger than the first one, and the production cost will be close to billion RMB.
We can shoot the second film first and then wait for the box office to recover before shooting the third film. There will be no pressure. If we shoot them together, we will have to spend nearly 2 billion yuan on filming.
La Peikang waved his hand.
"Money is not a problem. We can bring in more investors. Gu Wei, if you don't want to divide up too many shares, the bank will be willing to provide loans.
The risk is a bit bigger, but I believe that The Wandering Earth will not let us down!" He patted Gu Wei on the shoulder.
"Domestic science fiction films have made a good start. I hope that the follow-up can catch up as soon as possible and make more achievements."
Gu Wei thought about it and understood what La Peikang meant.
The other party is considering the issue completely from an official perspective and does not care about the profit or loss of the movie. They just want to make more achievements in domestic science fiction movies as soon as possible.
The copyright of "The Wandering Earth" is currently jointly held by China Film and "Wei Ming Tian Xia", and the project is mainly controlled by Guo Fan, so La Peikang has to convince Gu Wei and Guo Fan of this idea.
"I have no objection, but the filming of The Wandering Earth involves too many things, so we still need to sit down and discuss them carefully before making a decision."
"Okay, actually there's no need to rush this matter. I just have a general idea. When you have time, Director Guo, let's have a meeting to discuss what to do next."
After politely declining La Peikang's invitation to dinner, Gu Wei came out and reunited with Reba. The two of them found a private high-end restaurant for a midnight snack and then drove to the [Fan Yue 108] community.
"Sure enough, it's on the trending search again." The next morning, Gu Wei and Reba were having breakfast. Reba said helplessly while looking at the news on her mobile phone.
Gu Wei also saw that the 10th most searched topic was #热巴京城电影节哇跤#
When you click on the title, in addition to the introduction of the incident, there is also a video of Reba falling at that time. The camera is a little far away but you can still see how embarrassed she was.
"Even if you fall down, you can become a hot search topic, which means you are famous!" Gu Wei said with a smile.
"I would rather not have this popularity, it's too embarrassing." Reba said somewhat depressed.
"Haha, it's actually a good thing to make small mistakes occasionally, it makes your character more down-to-earth."
"That's the only way I can comfort myself."
After breakfast, they went out separately.
Reba still has a lot of work to do, so she has to leave Beijing after only two days.
Gu Wei also has a lot of things to do when he returns to the company. The most important thing at the moment is to make all preparations for the filming in Tokyo.
Fortunately, the producer and several assistant directors of the crew will be fully responsible in this regard, but some matters also require Gu Wei's final decision.
On April 4, Gu Wei flew to Changsha to record "Escape the Room".
After entering the program crew, he first met director He Shu. After returning to the hotel, Gu Wei received a message from Yang Mi.
"Have you arrived in Changsha?"
"Arrived, just settled in the hotel."
"Come out, let's have a meal together~"
"No problem. Where to?"
"Go downstairs to the lobby first."
After a while, Gu Wei went downstairs to the lobby on the first floor and saw Yang Mi and Xie Yilin sitting on the sofa in the lobby waiting for him.
"Sister Mi~" Gu Wei raised his hand to greet her.
"You're so slow, you actually made us two girls wait for you, how ungentlemanly!"
"Please, you treated me to a meal, and I came down after I replied to your message."
The two of them quarreled for a while before Gu Wei greeted Xie Yilin.
"Hello, Yilin, long time no see~
I remember the last time we met was at an awards ceremony, right? "
“At the [Bazaar Charity Night], all my sisters from Little Times went, and it’s been over a year.
But Gu Wei, you are still so handsome!" Xie Yilin praised Gu Wei while looking at his face.
"Haha, thank you, you are beautiful too~" Gu Wei complimented Yang Mi and asked, "Where are we going to eat?"
"I have booked a restaurant and a seat, I can go there now."
"Okay, I'm a little hungry."
The three of them walked out of the hotel, got into a special nanny car, and soon arrived at a local specialty restaurant.
"Sauced duck, chopped pepper fish head, braised pork
Mimi, aren't you afraid of getting fat by ordering so many meat dishes?"
In the restaurant's private room, Xie Yilin swallowed her saliva as she looked at the dishes being served. She was very greedy but she didn't dare to eat too much.
"Aren't there two vegetarian dishes here? Those are ordered for Gu Wei. He can eat them," Yang Mi said nonchalantly.
"Can you not be afraid of getting fat?" Male stars also have body anxiety and need to control their weight, especially young traffic stars like Gu Wei.
Gu Wei smiled and said, "I have a special physique. I won't gain weight no matter how much I eat. So I usually eat very casually. As long as it tastes good, I will eat a lot."
"I'm so envious of your physique that doesn't gain weight!"
The dishes were served and the three of them ate and chatted.
"Haven't you been filming recently?" Gu Wei asked casually after taking a bite of the braised pork.
"I'm filming Eye of the Storm, which started filming at the beginning of this month. It's a crime-themed TV series produced by our company and Perfect World."
"Oh, that's great, you're trying a new subject, are you going to transform?"
"It's still early. Let's see how the broadcast results are."
"By the way, Penguin wants me to play in "The Legend of the Pearl Lady", do you want to join?" Yang Mi said, looking at Gu Wei with his big eyes.
“Forget it. Just hearing the name, I think it’s an ancient idol drama with a female lead. After starring in “The Story of Minglan” and “Sito”, I don’t want to star in this type of drama for the time being.
Besides, after finishing filming Detective Chinatown 3, I have to start a costume drama for my company, so I don’t have enough time.”
“You can work with Zhao Liying and Jing Tian, but not with me, right?
I see. Anyway, I’m used to being rejected by you.” Yang Mi sighed deliberately.
Gu Wei smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Mi, what are you doing? We have worked together before on "Gu Jian Qi Tan", "Eternal Love" and "Blade Master 2". It seems that no actress in the domestic entertainment industry has worked with me more than three times except you. I can't always work with you, the audience will get tired of it, right?
Of course, the main issue is the schedule, my schedule is too full."
"You always have a reason~" Yang Mi snorted. She was just complaining a few words, but she was quite understanding in her heart.
Xie Yilin was eating on the side and didn't really join in the conversation between the two.
She knew that Yang Mi and Gu Wei had a good relationship. After meeting and listening to their conversation, she realized that there must be something going on between them...
