Chapter 809 I Will Definitely Change the Script

There was a light snowfall in Beijing during the New Year's Day holiday. Even two days later, some residual snow could still be seen piled up on the roadside.

Outside an ancient courtyard house within the Second Ring Road, a well-dressed and well-built man and woman stood at the door.

The door opened in less than two minutes.

"Brother Wei, Xiaotian"

"Qilin arrived quite early. Have Brother Jing and his wife arrived?"

The two people outside the door were Gu Wei and Tian Xiwei. After opening the door, they walked into the yard and reached out to take off the masks on their faces.

“I’ve arrived and am chatting with my master in the living room.

By the way, Brother Yue is here too."

"Xiao Yueyue, doesn't he have a job recently?"

"It seems like he just came back from recording a variety show."

The three of them walked through the yard and entered the main house.

In the living room, Yu Qian, Wu Jing and Yue Yunpeng quickly stood up when they saw Gu Wei and others enter the room.

"Come on, bring anything with you."

Yu Qian came forward and took the gift from Gu Wei.

"Hey~ Mingqian Longjing, this is good stuff."

"Brother Qian is knowledgeable. I don't know much about tea. I drink it but I can't tell whether it's good or bad. I'm totally an idiot."

Yu Qian put the tea leaves aside with a smile and looked at Xiaotian beside Gu Wei.

"Who is this?"

"Oh, this is Tian Xiwei, who plays my sister in Joy of Life. She said she wanted to meet Brother Qian, so I brought her here."

After that, Gu Wei said to Tian Xiwei:
"Yu Qian, Brother Qian, didn't you say you particularly like his crosstalk?
There are also Brother Jing and Xiao Yueyue, so I don’t need to introduce them to you.”

Xiaotian greeted the three people with a smile on his face, "Teacher Yu Qian, Teacher Wu Jing, Teacher Yue Yunpeng"

"This girl has such beautiful big eyes!"

Yu Qian smiled and praised.

Gu Wei will receive everyone he brings well no matter what their relationship is.

“Don’t call me teacher. I really can’t bear the responsibility. Everyone in this room is my teacher. Just call me Xiao Yueyue.” Yue Yunpeng waved his hands repeatedly after hearing what Tian Xiwei said.

Yu Qian is his uncle-in-law. Wu Jing and Gu Wei are both big names in the film and television industry and are close friends with Yu Qian. He is considered a junior here.

Guo Qilin said: "Don't worry, Brother Yue, I'm here for you."

Wu Jing smiled and raised his eyebrows at Gu Wei.

He clearly remembered that two days ago, Bona's Yu Dong hosted a banquet, and Gu Wei brought Nazha with him. Now he brought another female star to Yu Qian's place.

But he didn't say anything.

Gu Wei is young, rich, famous and has a high status, so he is usually surrounded by many scandals. This is not uncommon in the entertainment industry.

After sitting down, Gu Wei, Yu Qian and Wu Jing chatted, while Yue Yunpeng and the other two acted as listeners and rarely interrupted.

"Where's Sister Nan? Didn't you two come together?"

Gu Wei asked Wu Jing.

"She went to the kitchen to help Qian Sao." Wu Jing replied.

The three chatted for a while, and Yu Qian mentioned Gu Wei's movie that was currently showing: "Your movie is very popular these days. I took your sister-in-law to the cinema two days ago. The story is good and the acting is even better!"

Gu Wei smiled and said, "Thank you for your support, Brother Qian."

"The box office should have exceeded 1 billion by now, right?"

"It's broken. I checked the real-time box office this morning and it's 11.6 billion."

Yu Qian sighed: "People say you are the box office king, and this nickname is absolutely correct.

If someone else were to play the title role of [Send You a Little Red Flower], 5 million would be a huge hurdle, but now it’s heading for 20 billion.”

Gu Wei waved his hand: "It's different now than before. In the past, movies with this kind of theme would have been basically impossible to get high box office, but now the audience pays more attention to the quality of the movie and is very tolerant of the theme, just like the "Dying to Survive" back then.

My movie “Better Days” last year was not expected to have high box office, but it turned out to be a big hit anyway.

As long as the film is good, the audience will give a good response! ”

After Gu Wei finished speaking, Guo Qilin and Yue Yunpeng in the room nodded in agreement.

Wu Jing looked at them and smiled, “He said this just to be modest and humble, don’t take it seriously.

Although what he said makes sense, because he is Gu Wei, his fame and appeal are better than any means of publicity, so as long as the quality of the movie he acts in is good, the audience will buy it. This may not be the case for others.

Last month, Bona's big-budget "Emergency Rescue" was a huge flop. The filming techniques were exactly the same as Lin Chaoxian's previous "Operation Red Sea", but the box office was not good.

There are so many factors that determine whether a movie is a big hit, including the right time, the right place, and the right people."

Gu Wei smiled and did not refute Wu Jing's words. In fact, there was nothing wrong with what they both said, they just had different angles.

"By the way, what do you think about Yu Dong asking us out for dinner a few days ago?" When mentioning [Emergency Rescue], Gu Wei asked about the previous dinner.

“What else can I watch? The filming of [Changjin Lake] is about to start. This crew is different from the previous ones. It’s too big.

I heard that there are several thousand staff members alone and tens of thousands of extras. Plus, three big directors are cooperating in the filming and have hired the two of us. Yu Dong must be worried.

If you listen to what he said during the dinner, he just hopes that we can cooperate well with the director and cooperate with the filming as much as possible.

It’s a bit redundant actually. This isn’t the first time we’ve worked together, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

Gu Wei smiled and said, “It is likely that the poor performance of [Emergency Rescue] made Yu Dong pay more attention to [Changjin Lake].

After all, this film cost over 1 billion yuan to produce, and if something goes wrong, Bona will not be able to handle it."

After saying that, he thought for a moment and said, “And I think Yu Dong’s main intention is to hope that we can try our best to cooperate with the director during the filming.

There is no problem with Lin Chaoxian, we are one family and I have worked with him before, but I am not sure about Xu Ke and Chen Kai."

Wu Jing nodded: "There shouldn't be any problem with Director Xu Ke. I first worked with him on "The Legend of Zu Mountain". Director Chen..."

Wu Jing didn't say anything else. He looked at Gu Wei, and they both understood what he meant.

As one of the top directors in the domestic entertainment industry, Brother Chen Kai is an unattainable director in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Gu Wei and Wu Jing, he is not very reliable.

After all, his record in recent years has been quite dismal, and both of them are people who value their reputation, and they are afraid that Brother Chen Kai will do something weird and mess up "Changjin Lake".

"I have thought about it. I will bring the screenwriter with me after the filming starts. I already have some ideas about the role of Wu Wanli.

There’s nothing wrong with the growth that the script wants to express, but the early scenes are a bit thin, and the characters aren’t very good either, so I’m definitely going to change that.

Besides, I have talked about this with Lin Chao before, and he has no objection."

Gu Wei told Wu Jing his idea, and Wu Jing nodded in agreement.

"No problem, we'll discuss it later when we go back to filming. Even though there are three directors, many things can be solved through discussion."

Before long, the dishes were ready and the family dinner began.

This is not the first time that Gu Wei and Wu Jing have come to Yuqian, and everyone is quite casual.

Yu Qian opened two bottles of fine wine that had been stored for many years to entertain the two of them. The atmosphere at the dinner table was very warm as they drank and chatted.

"Gu Wei, I want to toast you. I have a favor to ask of you!"

Xie Nan raised his glass and said to Gu Wei. Gu Wei was a little surprised, glanced at Wu Jing, and then raised his glass.

"Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Don't be so polite."

“I know you and Wu Jingyue will join the crew to shoot “Changjin Lake” at the end of the month. I know it’s a war movie with a lot of action scenes.

I still remember when Wu Jing was injured during the filming of Wolf Warrior 2.

His leg has just healed from surgery, and I’m worried that he’ll injure himself again while filming.”

Gu Wei suddenly realized: "I understand. When we are filming, I will watch over Brother Jing and prevent him from doing any dangerous actions."

Wu Jing looked helpless: "Wife, I'm fine. I won't be hurt again this time."

"Shut up, you promised me this every time you were filming, and now you're covered in injuries.

Where is the good spot on your body?"

Before Wu Jing could finish his words, Xie Nan interrupted him.

The other people at the table were secretly laughing when they saw this scene.

The fearless "Wolf Warrior" is still afraid of his wife.

"Sister-in-law, let me say something.

In fact, Wu Jing has not been filming as hard as he did when he was young in recent years.

He also knows that he is getting old now and can’t fight anymore.”

Yu Qian smiled and spoke up for Wu Jing, but Wu Jing stiffened his neck and said, "Who's old? I can still fight for another 20 years."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Nan glared at him, and Wu Jing immediately changed the subject: "Of course, no matter what kind of drama you are shooting, you must pay attention to safety. I actually want to shoot more literary dramas now."

After that, everyone else at the table laughed.

Everyone was relaxed at Qian Ge's family dinner. They talked and laughed and talked about movies. Guo Qilin suddenly mentioned something: "I saw the news today that the Yin Yang Master: Dream of Eternity that was released before New Year's Day was taken off the shelves. It was only released for 10 days."

"[The Yin Yang Master]?
Sounds a bit familiar”

Wu Jing was still thinking when Xie Nan beside him said, "It's a fantasy movie directed by Guo Jingming. It was released before New Year's Day. I told you before that I wanted to go see it."

"Oh, I remembered.

I am very familiar with Director Guo’s name in “Tiny Times”, but I have no interest in his movies at all.

But how come it was taken down after only 10 days in the theaters? "

Gu Wei said: "It is most likely that it was plagiarized before."

Seeing others looking over, he continued to explain: "Director Guo started out as a writer. One of his early novels has been accused of plagiarism, and those who were plagiarized have been defending their rights over the years.

On the 21st of last month, 156 film and television practitioners, including Qiong Yao, signed an open letter under their real names to boycott him and Yu Zheng, who had a history of plagiarism.

Perhaps in order to ensure that the release of his new movie would not be affected, at the end of the month Director Guo posted a long Weibo post to formally apologize to the plagiarized author Zhuang Yu.

This is also the first apology in 15 years."

"Because his other works are plagiarized, the movies he directed are not allowed to be shown?"

“Partly, you may not have seen the movie [The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity].

This movie itself also has big problems. It has distorted values ​​and contains serious vulgar behavior.

In essence, it is a gay "little boy" movie.

I think this is also the main reason why the relevant departments removed the movie from the shelves."

“Can a movie like this be shown?”

It is hard for Wu Jing, a straight man, to understand why someone would make a gay movie.

After all, he is the man who once asked several members of EXO whether they were male or female.

“Brother Jing, this society is diverse, you may not understand it but many little girls like it.

Although the box office is not ideal, I remember that "The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity" has already taken more than 4 million yuan at the box office. Of course, Director Guo claimed that the film had an investment of 3 million yuan, so this result must be a big loss."

Wu Jing shook his head. Just like he didn't understand why EXO's androgynous style was so popular, he now completely couldn't understand the movie directed by Guo Xiaosi.

There is a fundamental difference in the way they think. They are in completely different worlds.

A family gathering, everyone was having a great time.

Finally, everyone took a group photo and uploaded it to the Internet.

Gu Wei posted on his Weibo:

#Thank you for the warm hospitality of Brother Qian and Sister Qian. The food is very delicious. Let's meet again next time when we have time! @于签@吴景#
Gu Wei has so many followers on Weibo that as soon as he posts, there is a series of replies and discussions.

[My brother went to have dinner with Yu Qian and Wu Jing. It looked like a family dinner. They have a really good relationship~]

[I think he met Yu Qian when he was filming Wolf Warriors 2. I remember Gu Wei once posted a photo of himself riding a horse, which must have been at Yu Qian’s horse farm.]

[Hot knowledge: Yu Qian and Wu Jing are good friends, Gu Wei and Wu Jing are also good friends, that’s how they know each other, and they should have a very good relationship.

The person next to Yu Qian should be his wife, and Wu Jing also brought Xie Nan with him, which shows that everyone is very casual and just having a simple gathering.

[It is understandable that Guo Qilin and Yue Yunpeng appear, but why does Tian Xiwei appear in this photo, and next to Gu Wei? Are they in a relationship?

Fan Xian and Fan Ruoruo, what an "orthopedic" plot, I like it! 】

[The three brothers and sisters of the Fan family are all here, probably because they just finished filming "Joy of Life 2", so they are together. And I heard that Xiaotian is an artist of Gu Wei's company, so with Guo Qilin leading her, there should be no problem. ]

[Xiaotian's Fan Ruoruo is really beautiful, and she is also a "brother-loving" person. She is so likable. I really like her.

I didn't expect she is so beautiful in real life, love it.】

[Seeing Gu Wei, Guo Qilin, and Tian Xiwei together, I am really looking forward to "Celebrating Yu Nian 2". I love this drama so much. I really hope the second part will be released soon.]

[It has been completed. It will probably be broadcast next year. I want to see Fan Xian come back to life! ]

Netizens said all kinds of things, and there were also many rumors about Gu Wei and Tian Xiwei.

Gu Wei did not make any response. For him, spreading rumors was a common thing and had no effect on him.

Moreover, this opportunity could more or less increase Tian Xiwei's popularity.

This is just like those supermodels who are in love with Leonardo. Everyone knows that they will not be able to stay with Leon, but as long as they are in love with him, their fame will soar, so no supermodel will refuse to be his girlfriend.

After the dinner, Gu Wei sent Xiaotian home.

In the car, Tian Xiwei kept looking at his cell phone with a silly smile on his face.

"What are you enjoying?"

"Um~ nothing, I also posted the photo of our dinner just now, and now my Weibo followers are increasing, I am a little happy."

Gu Wei shook his head and said nothing. He sat in the car with his eyes closed to rest. He had just drunk a lot with Wu Jing and was a little drunk now.

Tian Xiwei secretly looked at the handsome boss beside her.

She was happy on the one hand because her Weibo followers increased, and on the other hand because netizens were discussing her relationship with her boss.

She really envied her boss, but when she thought about Sister Reba when she was filming "You Are My Glory", Sister Jingtian in the just completed "Joy of Life", and Sister Nazha in the company, she sighed secretly.

She thought she was a beauty despite her size, but when compared with these guys, she instantly became a passerby.

But she lowered her head slightly, straightened her chest, and regained some confidence.

"There is still a lot of time to go, don't rush, take your time."
