China Entertainment's whatever you want

Since August, with the huge sales of "Life Events" and the hit of "Joy of Life 8", Gu Wei's popularity has been unparalleled.

He single-handedly heated up this year's originally cold film and television market. This kind of strong appeal and popularity is probably difficult for anyone else in the domestic entertainment industry to replicate except him.

In the last dozen days of the summer season, the total box office of "Life Events", which has been released for three weeks, has exceeded 25 billion yuan. At the same time, the official announcement of the film's release has been postponed for one month.

Affected by the film's strong reputation, the box office performance of "Life Events" was unexpectedly strong in the later period, and Maoyan also promptly changed its box office forecast from 28 billion to 30 billion.

Gu Wei is very pleasantly surprised at the current box office performance of "Life Events". He remembers that the original version only grossed 22 billion when it was released in 17 years. Now, the final box office of his version should be at least billion more than the original.

But if you think about it carefully, this situation makes sense.

When the original time and space "Life Events" was released, it was not as popular as it is now.

Zhu Yilong's previous movie "Feng Bao" had a total box office of only more than 4 million yuan, and it did not show any box office appeal. The director Liu Jiangjiang is even a newcomer, and "Life Events" is his first work.

At that time, few people thought that this drama focusing on the funeral industry would be a big hit, but after its release, the film earned 17 billion yuan at the box office thanks to its excellent quality and good reputation, and also made Zhu Yilong a popular movie star.

All these show that the movie and story of "Life Events" are really popular among the audience.

Now with the blessing of Gu Wei's personal fame and popularity, the movie was seen as a blockbuster from the beginning, received more attention, and received more publicity resources. It is no surprise that the box office now exceeds the original version by a large margin.

The summer movie market has basically settled down by now. In the first month, "Chinese Doctor" was a small hit, and in the second month, "Life Events" was far ahead, followed by "The Angry Birds" which had good reputation and box office. The rest were all cannon fodder.

Compared with the movie market, the TV drama market has shown a flourishing trend after the huge success of "Joy of Life 2".

After mid-August, Sun Honglei and Zhang Yixing's "Sweeping Dark Storm", Ren Jialun and Bai Lu's "Son of Zhou Sheng Ru Gu", Sun Li and Zhao Youting's "Ideal City", Bai Yu, Song Zuer and Mao Xiaotong's "Children of Qiao's Family" were broadcast one after another.

Although the data of these TV series are not as good as "Joy of Life 2", it has to be said that they are all TV series of excellent quality and very popular with the audience.

From modern to ancient costumes, from suspense to period dramas, the genres are different, which greatly satisfies the viewing needs of audiences with different tastes.

".I think the biggest difference in Fan Xian's situation in the second season is that almost everything is revealed, from his relationships with the various princes to the entanglement between Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping.

He is becoming more and more aware of his position and is faced with an either-or choice."

After the filming in the evening, Gu Wei live-streamed with other main creators of "Joy of Life 2" in his room.

Because of this work today, Wang Churan did not come to find him, but stayed in his room and connected to the Internet with everyone.

There are many actors from "Joy of Life 2" who are live streaming together today, but most of them are young actors. Chen Daoming, Wu Gang and others did not participate.

After Gu Wei finished speaking, the host of the live broadcast room asked Jing Tian a similar question.

"Let's get married. This should be the biggest change in Lin Wan'er.

She unlocked some new skills and grew more because of what she went through."

Jingtian on the other side of the camera seems to be at home. He is wearing casual clothes and looks in good condition.

After everyone spoke, the host's questions returned to Gu Wei and asked about his current work status.

“.I am currently filming a drama. Friends who follow the drama should know that it is a historical drama with a revolutionary theme called [The Wind Chaser].

And what’s more coincidental is that Xiaotian, Chu Ran and I are in the same crew.

Now that we are connected online, we can actually meet each other every day while filming.

I won’t say too much about the other things, after all, this is the live broadcast room of [Joy of Life].”

After he finished speaking, netizens on the screen left crazy messages asking him to say more about his current filming.

Gu Wei smiled and shook his head and stopped talking. The host also cleverly changed the subject.

About an hour later, the first online live broadcast after the broadcast of "Joy of Life 2" officially ended.

Gu Wei waved goodbye to everyone and then closed the video link.

Then I received a message on the phone beside me. I opened it and saw that it was from Wang Churan.

The work had just finished, but I didn't expect her to be so impatient.

Gu Wei thought for a moment and replied to her.

'We finished work too late today, go to bed early.

I have to get up early tomorrow to film.'

After a few seconds, the other side replied with a tearful emoji, and then sent a good night emoji.

Gu Wei smiled and shook his head, closed the laptop in front of him, stood up, dialed a number with his mobile phone, and slowly walked to the window.

"At home in the capital?"

"Well, I've been back for a few days," Jingtian's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I saw you were in good condition during the live broadcast just now. How are things going?"

"I came back and talked to them separately. It's hard to reverse the situation. The problem between them is not a conflict that happened in one or two days, but a long-term accumulation over many years.

Moreover, both of them have already made up their minds to separate, and have already reached an agreement, and will go through the formalities in the next two days."

Gu Wei was silent for a few seconds. He didn't know how to comfort her.

My condolences? Definitely not.

You want to be strong? That's not good either.

Seeing that Gu Wei didn't say anything, Jing Tian continued, "Actually, I thought a lot before I came back, but after actually meeting my parents and talking to them, I found that I wasn't as sad as I thought.

This is the choice they make for the rest of their lives. As the person closest to them in the world, I just need to support them.

After all, I don’t have to face the choice of who to be with.”

At the end, Da Tiantian even made a joke.

Gu Wei chuckled: "Now it's up to your uncle and aunt to choose who will follow you."

"Haha, that's not the case. They are in good health and have money and free time. They live a comfortable life without me bothering them."

When Gu Wei heard Jing Tian say this, he felt completely relieved.

"By the way, the car I said I would give you has already been bought, a red Ferrari 488GTB sports car, very beautiful.

I'll have my staff contact you and send it to you later."

"What? He didn't even show up to give me a gift. That's insincere!"

Gu Wei could imagine how innocent Da Tiantian looked when she said this. He smiled and said, "I don't have time. If I send you off after we meet, I don't know how long it will take."

"Hmph~ I know you're busy filming, so forget it this time.

I’ll give you a gift next time we meet.”

"What gift?" Gu Wei asked curiously.

"I won't tell you, you'll know next time we meet."

The next day, the crew of "Storm Chasers".

Today is Tian Xiwei's first scene with Gu Wei, and it is also the first time that "Niu Chunmiao" and "Wei Ruolai" meet in Shanghai.

"Niu Chunmiao" excitedly came to the big city to find her childhood fiancé "Wei Ruolai", but she got furious when she learned that Wei Ruolai wanted to break off the engagement with her.

".You really want to cancel the engagement?

Impossible, before I left, I heard my father discussing our wedding date with your father!"

Tian Xiwei was dressed like a country girl, looking rustic, with short hair in two pigtails, and she looked very energetic.

She was in disbelief when she heard Wei Ruo say that he wanted to cancel the engagement.

"We were engaged as children, it doesn't count." Gu Wei explained to her seriously. "Gou Guzi, do you really want to cancel the engagement?" Xiao Tian opened his eyes wide and pointed at Gu Wei.

"I'm not thinking about it, I've already quit~"

"You Chen Shimei, how have I, Niu Chunmiao, ever wronged you that you dare to divorce me?

Do you have someone outside?

Is that right? "After yelling, Tian Xiwei pushed Gu Wei down on the sofa and pressed on him.

He questioned and beat him to vent his anger.

"I didn't, I didn't!"

Gu Wei had no choice but to defend himself.

"You smell like a woman!"

"What scent? It smells like soap."

"Soap? You're too lazy to even wash your face at home, so why do you need soap?
Do you think I will believe you?"

"Click!" came the director's voice.

"Xiaotian, this is Niu Chunmiao's first scene. It is very important. You have to show her vitality."

After the director finished shouting, Tian Xiwei quickly got off Gu Wei: "I know, Director, I'm sorry, let's do it again"

"Take a ten-minute break to get the hang of it. If you shoot again right away, chances are you won't be able to do it."

“I’m sorry, Director.

I'm sorry to cause trouble to everyone."

Tian Xiwei kept apologizing to others. The scene just now was shot several times, but the director was not satisfied and felt that her performance was not good enough.

"Brother Wei, I'm sorry~
This time you got beaten for nothing."

Tian Xiwei felt even more guilty facing Gu Wei, and she had to beat Gu Wei every time she reshot.

"Do you know where you didn't perform well in the scene just now?" Gu Wei sat up. Tian Xiwei kept making mistakes, and he had to help her find the feeling, otherwise the following scenes would be more difficult to shoot.

Oda frowned and said, "I'm not really sure. I don't quite understand what the director meant by the feeling of being full of vitality."

Gu Wei smiled and said, "Let's not talk about those vague feelings, let's talk about the specifics. In our scene just now, your biggest shortcoming was that you didn't scold harshly enough and didn't hit me lightly."

"Ah?" Tian Xiwei's face was full of confusion.

Gu Wei explained: "The character of Niu Chunmiao is like a ball of fire, warm and pure, without any drag.

It feels a bit like the old movie "The Red Detachment of Women".

Look at her outfit, the red hairband and the silver collar, does she look like someone who walked out of a textbook?

That's why the director said she is full of vitality.

What you lack now is this feeling. When you are angry, you can yell loudly. When someone rides on you, you can hit him hard. You must establish the character's personality and character in the first scene."

"I think I understand a little bit~" Tian Xiwei nodded thoughtfully.

“In fact, your personality is somewhat similar to that of Niu Chunmiao.

In my impression, Oda, you have always been sunny and energetic, with endless energy bursting from your whole body. This is why I chose you to play this role.

Everyone says you are a sweet girl, but I know that under your sweet appearance you have a vibrant heart.

So don't worry, even though the filming just now wasn't very smooth, you will definitely be able to play this role well!"

Tian Xiwei was somewhat moved by Gu Wei's words. She blinked her big round eyes and her gaze gradually became firm.

"I see. I can definitely act well. Let's rehearse the scene again."

Gu Wei smiled and nodded.

Sure enough, his level of chicken soup for the soul has now reached a high level, and it can inspire people without a trace of deliberateness. He has improved again.

After a long scene was finished, the crew changed the scene and Gu Wei walked to the rest area nearby.

"Boss, Miss Liu Yifei is here to visit you." The assistant came over and said.

"Huh? She's here?" Gu Wei was very surprised.

Friends who come to visit him on set usually say hello in advance, but Liu Yifei came unexpectedly.

"We're here, in the reception room."

"Okay, go over now."

Gu Wei followed his assistant out to the reception room, and sure enough, Liu Yifei's beautiful figure was there.

"Xixi, why did you think of visiting me on set, and why didn't you even tell me in advance?"

As he said this, he opened his arms and was about to give Liu Yifei a hug.

Liu Yifei felt helpless and stood up and hugged him.

"Why, a surprise?"

Lin Yun, who came along with them, watched the scene with wide eyes, thinking that the relationship between these two people was indeed very good.

"It's quite a surprise. Why didn't you tell me in advance? I was not prepared at all."

"I'm here to visit you. What do you want to prepare?"

"So what did you bring for my visit? You didn't come empty-handed, did you?"

Liu Yifei smiled and looked at Lin Yun next to her, and joked: "Hey, I brought you a fan, and she's a beautiful girl."

It was only then that Gu Wei noticed the person next to her. When she came in, he thought she was an assistant or some other staff member.

"Um, you are Lin Yun, right?"

He didn't pay attention at first, but now after seeing him, Gu Wei immediately recognized the other person's identity.

"Hello, Mr. Gu Wei, I'm Lin Yun, and I'm glad to meet you.

I really like the movies you made. A few days ago, Yifei and I went to see "Life Events" together."

“Hello, I’ve also seen The Mermaid, and you acted very well.

It’s a pity that I didn’t have the opportunity to work with Mr. Zhou Xingchi.”

"Master Xing has the same regret. I heard him say that when they were filming Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back, he and Director Xu Ke wanted to invite you to participate."

Gu Wei nodded, looked at Lin Yun, then turned his gaze to Liu Yifei and remembered something.

"Are you filming [Dream of the Red Chamber]?"

"That's right, but the filming will be wrapped in the next two days, so I have time to come and visit you on the set." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

“I didn’t expect your crew was also in Hengdian, and no one told me.

Since you have time, how about having lunch together at noon?" Gu Wei invited.

"No problem. The shows I have scheduled today are all night shows, so I have plenty of time."

After Liu Yifei finished speaking, Lin Yun also nodded: "I have time too. In fact, the scenes for my role have been completed. It's totally fine." (End of this chapter)
