China Entertainment's whatever you want

Chapter 751 You Are a Real Dog
It was a small incident that attracted almost no attention in the venue.

Bald John left dejectedly. Michael nodded to Gu Wei, then smiled and said to Reba.

"I'm deeply sorry that a rather impolite person should have disturbed this beautiful lady's mood.

I hope you can have a good mood at this banquet."

Reba looked at the white old man in front of her and knew that he was the president of LV, so she felt a little nervous.

"It's okay, Mr. Michael, thank you for helping me out."

“Haha, no need to thank me, I just happened to come over when I saw Gu here.

In fact, as long as you say you are Gu’s female companion, I believe no one at this banquet would be so tactless as to come and tangle with you~"

After saying that, he expressed his apologies to Gu Wei again, then turned and left.

In fact, this kind of thing of chatting up girls is not uncommon at usual cocktail parties. After all, this is the fashion circle, with countless handsome men and beautiful women. There are many people like John who have a little power and want to use it to pick up girls.

Most of the young stars and models don’t mind being approached, and some even take it as a pride.

Unfortunately, John didn't open his eyes carefully. When he saw Reba's unfamiliar face, he thought she was just a small and unknown character, and ended up running into a tough problem with Gu Wei.

In this world, people always judge things by the person they are. The same thing happening to different people will naturally have different results.

Gu Wei is currently LV's closest partner. The head office is still studying and developing in-depth cooperation in the customized series. Michael does not want anything to happen on LV's territory that makes him unhappy.

"Are you okay?" There were only two people left, and Gu Wei asked Reba with concern.

"It's okay. He wanted to chat me up and I clearly refused, but he seemed to think I was being pretentious."

Reba smiled bitterly: "If you want to blame someone, blame me because I am not well-known here. The guy just now might have thought I was an unknown model who got into this high-end wine party to hook up with rich men."

Naturally, she has encountered similar things in China, but in China, Reba is one of the top female stars born in the 90s and is very popular.

As long as she clearly refuses, few people will bother her again.

“Why didn’t you come to see me when you got there?
I didn’t see you at the LV show today either.”

The venue for the big show in the Louvre in the afternoon was very large, and there were a lot of people present. After Gu Wei entered, many familiar faces came up to greet him and chat, and he didn't notice Reba in the crowd.

"I came early and my seat is a bit off. There are too many celebrities and fashion celebrities around you. It's too bright for me to get there."

Gu Wei blinked, looked at Reba, and understood what she was thinking.

"As my female companion, you can definitely share this light.

And I believe that with your hard work and beauty, you will sooner or later become the shining star in such occasions."

After hearing what Gu Wei said, Reba pursed her lips and nodded slightly, looking at him with stars twinkling in her eyes.

From the moment she first met Gu Wei, he was an unparalleled superstar in her eyes, and she had always been in a relatively low position, even a little humble.

Later, as the two got to know each other better, even though the relationship had some breakthroughs due to her efforts, the gap in their relationship did not change.

She was deeply moved by what Gu Wei said today. She felt that this was the greatest respect and recognition for her.

After the banquet, Gu Wei sent a message to politely decline Scarlett's invitation and spent some time accompanying Reba, who was feeling a little agitated.

That night, Reba was particularly active and clingy, unlocking several new poses.

The flexibility learned by the dancer is extraordinary, and he can perform many difficult movements with ease, which brings Gu Wei a different kind of enjoyment.

This year's Paris Fashion Week lasted for nine days, but Gu Wei didn't need to stay that long.

He was invited by LV. Logically, his mission would have been completed after watching the LV fashion show. However, as a global spokesperson, he needed to shoot some new photos and videos to be used as promotional materials.

“Scarlett, put your hand on Gu’s chest, very good.

Gu, you should put one hand around her waist, very good, so beautiful!"

In the studio, Gu Wei and Scarlett Johansson wore some of LV's new products and took various beautiful photos, some alone and some as a couple.

"Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together?"

During the break in filming, the two sat on the chairs next to the studio to rest.

"No problem~" Gu Wei thought about it for a moment and agreed.

Reba doesn’t have as much work as him. She came to watch the show and took some photos. She will return home this afternoon.

He and Scarlett haven't seen each other for a long time, and he still can't forget his last experience with Olsen.

"What? You don't want to accompany your girlfriend anymore?" Scarlett looked at Gu Wei with a playful look.

"What little girlfriend?"

"The girl next to you at the cocktail party, I heard Michael say she was your female companion."

“You mentioned Reba, she is an artist under my company and also a brand ambassador of LV.

As the boss here, I have to take care of her."

Scarlett's lips curled up: "It seems that the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry are universal. As a boss, you must have taken good care of the beautiful female artists under you, right?"

"Defamation, blatant slander. Although we have a good relationship, you are slandering my innocent reputation like this. Be careful or I will sue you."

“Innocent? Do you think Elizabeth believes this?
Oh, by the way, I remember you were Taylor's ex-boyfriend.

Gu, you are really charming!" As a pure bed partner, Scarlett didn't care about Gu Wei's feelings, but that didn't stop her from teasing him.

"This is really a rumor. Although Taylor and I have a good relationship, I am really not her ex-boyfriend." Gu Wei explained.

"I see. He's not an ex-boyfriend, but a 'good' friend!" Scarlett's tone was light and heavy, and she obviously understood what was going on.

Gu Wei was speechless and stopped explaining. It seemed that in Scarlett's eyes, he was just a complete playboy.

After a day's work, the two of them had a Michelin three-star French meal together in the evening.

Back at the hotel, Scarlett showed Gu Wei her extremely seductive figure and unique style as a Hollywood sexy goddess.

How should I put it, Gu Wei has met many big stars and beauties. Scarlett is not the best in terms of appearance, figure and skin, but she is definitely the best one.

Her perfect figure and appearance, coupled with her absolute charm, make her extremely seductive.

I can’t remember which scene it was, but Scarlett was completely relaxed, as if every bone in her body was falling apart.

He collapsed on the bed, feeling limp from head to toes, completely without any strength left.

"I heard from LV that they might choose a Chinese female celebrity as their global spokesperson next year."

After panting and regaining some strength, Scarlett turned over, pressed her round beautiful legs on Gu Wei, and put her hands around his angular abdominal muscles.

"You're not renewing your contract?"

Gu Wei asked in surprise. "No, although my value to LV is far less than yours, at least my fame is still there, and the sales in the European and American markets have not declined in the past few years as the global spokesperson.

It’s just that they want to find another female celebrity who has great influence in the Asia-Pacific market to cooperate with you.”

LV is not without Chinese female celebrities as global spokespersons. The last and only one was Fan Bingbing, who has now become unpopular.

Bingbing has been in contact with LV ten years ago, and has been promoted from a brand friend to a global spokesperson, which means he has everything he wants.

However, he didn’t stay in this position for long because he lost all endorsements, including that of LV, due to tax reasons.

Gu Wei had worked with her before, but the opportunities were rare.

It now seems that LV is planning to promote someone to replace Fan Bingbing's position. After all, the Asia-Pacific market is getting bigger and bigger. Although Gu Wei is famous enough, he is a male star after all, and he cannot endorse some products.

"The Chinese market is getting bigger and bigger, and there is nothing wrong with LV's approach."

When this matter was mentioned, Gu Wei also remembered that it seemed that in the original time and space, Liu Yifei was parachuted into the position of spokesperson for the entire region after "Mulan", and other female stars who wanted to be promoted from brand ambassador, single-line spokesperson, etc. did not succeed.

"I saw on the news a while ago that you were filming [Black Widow]?"

"Yes, it was just finished before I came here."

"Congratulations, you can finally have a solo series of movies in Marvel~" After waiting for 11 years, the superhero Black Widow finally has her own solo movie.

“It’s a little consolation after all these years of making Marvel movies. Unlike other superheroes, Black Widow probably won’t have a sequel.

Even if there is, it may have nothing to do with me." Scarlett said with emotion.

In 09, she starred in "Iron Man 2", in which she played the beautiful and agile agent Natasha Romanoff.

Now 11 years have passed, and she never expected that the Black Widow she played would be so popular and even become the most memorable role in her acting career.

"Did you bring your costumes?" Gu Wei's question ruined the atmosphere.

"What?" Scarlett didn't respond.

"I mean do you have the Black Widow costume from the new movie?"

Scarlett rolled her eyes at the chuckling Gu Wei.

“You are a real dog.”

After finishing his work in Paris, Gu Wei flew back to Beijing.

Time quickly entered December, and this period at the end of each year is always the busiest time for Gu Wei.

Because at the end of the year, various evening parties and award ceremonies are popular.

In terms of platforms, there are Tencent's Starlight Awards, iQiyi's Scream Night, and Sina's Weibo Night. In the fashion circle, there are the GQ Person of the Year Ceremony, COSMO Ceremony, and so on.

For some celebrities, this kind of evening party is a good channel for exposure. Basically, you will get a prize if you participate, and you can also use the ceremony to show your face and attract a wave of traffic.

However, for Gu Wei, he has already passed this stage, and now he participates in this kind of ceremony just for the sake of his partner's face.

For example, several major video platforms have always had a pleasant cooperation with "Wei Ming Tian Xia". This year's "Sito" was exclusively broadcast by Tengxun, "Eastern Palace" was exclusively broadcast by Youku, and last year's "Ashes of Love" was broadcast on the entire network.

Currently, there are few production companies in the industry like Weiming Tianxia that cooperate with all platforms.

The current situation is that the platform is powerful, and most production companies choose one to have deep binding cooperation.

However, because Wei Ming Tian Xia has Gu Wei as its boss and has been producing hit dramas, it does not need to be tied to any platform, and its new dramas will still be sought after by all parties.

Just like "Joy of Life" which is currently in post-production, several platforms are actively communicating, but it is still unknown who will get the online broadcasting rights.

With this kind of cooperative relationship, Gu Wei, who receives a large amount of copyright fees from the platform every year, of course has to give face. He will generally attend various year-end ceremonies as long as he has time.

Anyway, it's just a matter of going there and winning a prize, so it's not a big deal.

On December 12, the crew of "Better Days" held a celebration banquet in Beijing.

This youth crime drama, Gu Wei's first starring role, was released for a month and grossed 23.86 billion yuan.

The Douban score finally settled at a high score of 8.6, which is quite high among all the movies starred by Gu Wei.

"Boss Gu, we are very happy to cooperate with each other this time. I toast you with this glass of wine!"

At the celebration banquet, director Zeng Guoxiang was in high spirits and raised his glass frequently to toast others.

He was really happy. The final box office of "Better Days" was 23.86 billion yuan, and about 10 billion yuan went to the production company. He and producer Xu Yuezhen's company accounted for 60% of the investment share.

The investment cost of the film itself is only 1.2 million yuan. Even if the later publicity and promotion costs are added, the company behind Zeng Guoxiang can make a net profit of about 5 million yuan because of this film.

5 million is just a small goal for Mr. Wang, the richest man in China. But even in the entertainment industry where there are many wealthy people, it is a huge sum of money that many people cannot earn in their entire lives.

Although he is not a poor man who has suddenly become rich, but with so much money in his pocket and all kinds of honors, Zeng Guoxiang, a young director who is the second generation of a star, is extremely excited.

"I have already told my father about the Academy Awards. Don't worry, Mr. Gu. Just leave everything to him. He will definitely give you a satisfactory result."

Knowing that Gu Wei was very interested in the award, Zeng Guoxiang helped him with this matter very seriously.

After this time, he tasted the sweetness of cooperating with Gu Wei and sincerely wanted to make friends with this God of Wealth.

"Thank you Director Zeng."

“You’re welcome, this is what I should do.

When Mr. Gu has time to come to Hong Kong Island, I will definitely entertain you with the highest standards. Tell me what type of Hong Kong Island female star you like, and I guarantee you will never want to leave again."

"Director Zeng is drunk," Zeng Guoxiang said loudly. The key point was that they were not the only two at the table. His sister Zhang Zifeng was sitting next to them.

Although Gu Wei was very tempted, he had to maintain his noble and upright image.

"Hahaha, I was so happy that I drank a few more cups. It was a bit too much. Please forgive me, Mr. Gu!"

Obviously Zeng Guoxiang also realized that something was wrong.

"Zifeng will be very busy this month, right?" Zhang Zifeng had been silent at the table. She was actually a bit shy outside the play, and since she was young, she didn't have much in common with other people.

He sat next to Gu Wei and ate silently the whole time, and when everyone raised their glasses, he raised his drink and took a sip with the others.

"I will go to Macau in a few days to attend the 4th Macau International Film Festival. Producer Xu said that the chances of winning an award are very high~" Zhang Zifeng was nominated for Best Actress.

"Based on your performance in "Better Days", there will definitely be no problem."

Gu Wei encouraged with a smile.

"Brother Wei, aren't you going? You're also nominated for Best Actor."

"I won't go. I'm quite busy recently. Wait for me to record a VCR of my acceptance speech. If I really win the award, please help me get it back." Gu Wei looked down on the so-called Macau International Film Festival, and his schedule was really tight recently.

“Okay!” Zhang Zifeng smiled, and the eyes on his chubby little face turned into two crescent moons.
