China Entertainment's whatever you want

Beijing.

The golden afternoon sunlight filled the bedroom, and a white kitten was lying lazily on the clean and soft wool carpet.

The room was very quiet and the sun was very warm. The sleeping cat heard some noise and opened his eyes a little, but saw nothing. He yawned, turned over and went back to sleep.

Suddenly a hand reached out, grabbed the kitten's neck and lifted it up.

The cat was stunned and was about to struggle, but then fell into a familiar embrace, called coquettishly, closed its eyes again, and enjoyed the caress of its owner.

“This drama is going to be aired so soon.”

Liu Yifei, who was sitting by the window, petting a cat in one hand and holding a pad in the other, muttered something when she saw some news.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in~"

The door opened and Liu Xiaoli walked in with a plate of fresh lychees.

"I bought it when I went to the supermarket this morning. It tastes very good."

As she said this, she placed the fruit plate within her daughter's reach.

Liu Yifei took one and peeled off the skin, revealing crystal clear lychee flesh.

"Mm, very sweet~"

Mother Liu smiled and sat down opposite her.

"Are you tired from filming these past few months?"

"Fortunately, although the filming period of "Dream of Hualu" is long, the daily filming tasks are not tight."

"What do you think of this play?"

"It's pretty good, the story is the type I like, otherwise I wouldn't have accepted it.

The costumes and props of the crew are very good and the production is very sophisticated."

"What about the actors I worked with, are you getting along well with them?"

Liu Yifei nodded: "We get along well, Liu Yan and Lin Yun both have a good relationship with me.

When they left the group after filming was finished, I gave them LV bags as gifts."

At this point she seemed to remember something and suddenly laughed: "It's quite funny to say that the actor who plays Ouyang Xu in the crew is actually my fan. In the play, he is Chen Shimei who abandons "Zhao Pan'er". As soon as the director called "cut", he immediately changed his look to look like a fan chasing a star."

Liu Xiaoli also laughed after hearing this: "It's normal for my daughter, such a beautiful star, to have some fans in the same field.

What about the male lead, is your cooperation going smoothly?"

Liu Yifei finished eating a lychee, spit out the core and put it aside, then thought for a moment and said, "Chen Xiao is quite professional, his lines and acting skills are good.

But we don’t have much communication outside of filming.”

"Hmm? Is he such a big shot?"

Liu Yifei waved her hand: "Not really.

During filming, his wife would come to visit from time to time, and it was quite awkward for us to meet each other. Later, Chen Xiao and I simply stopped communicating outside of filming."

"His wife?" Liu Xiaoli didn't react for a moment.

"Chen Yanxi also played the role of "Little Dragon Girl" and was scolded badly," Liu Yifei reminded.

"Oh, that little dragon girl with chicken legs"

Liu Xiaoli also surfs the Internet regularly, and when Chen Yanxi was scolded, netizens often compared her to Liu Yifei, so she is very clear about this matter.

"She was criticized by the audience for her bad appearance, but it has nothing to do with you"

"That's what I said, but there will always be some grudges."

"I remember that you invited Gu Wei to star in the drama "Dream of Red Mansions". It would have been great if he could have played the role. You would have enjoyed the filming more and it would have also ensured the show's success on air." Liu Xiaoli said with some regret.

Liu Yifei's lips curled up slightly when she heard her mother's words.

"Mom, do you remember the modern drama that I told you about some time ago?"

“I remember it was called “Go to a windy place”.

Didn’t you say you liked that book very much?”

"Yes, I have already decided to take on this drama. The male lead will most likely be Gu Wei."

"Really?"

Liu Yifei nodded and said, "Gu Wei's new drama started filming in Hengdian a few days ago. I mentioned this drama when I visited him on set."

"If that's the case, it's really good news." Liu Xiaoli was very happy after hearing what her daughter said.

Liu Yifei has returned to the field of TV dramas in the past two years, but none of her dramas have been aired yet, so it is still unknown whether she can maintain her good performance back then.

If I could work with Gu Wei, I wouldn't have to worry about this problem. With his fame and popularity, the TV series he stars in will undoubtedly be a hit.

“When will the filming of [Go Where There’s Wind] start?”

"The earliest will be next year. We have to consider Gu Wei's schedule. He has a Hollywood movie at the end of the year," Liu Yifei replied.

Liu Xiaoli sighed: "Gu Wei's fame has basically reached the top in China. If he takes this step, he will become a true international superstar!

By the way, ask him when he is free and invite him to your home for a meal to thank him."

"Thank him for what?" Liu Yifei was a little confused.

"My silly girl, [There's Wind] is just a low-budget rural drama. Would Gu Wei have accepted it if it wasn't for your sake?"

Liu Yifei was a little speechless: "Even so, there is no need to thank you, we have been friends for so many years.

It’s not like he hasn’t been to our house before.”

"If I ask you to treat me, then you should. No matter what our relationship was like before, it's always a good idea to visit each other more often. The more gifts you give, the less blame you will feel."

Liu Yifei nodded reluctantly: "Okay, but I don't think he will have time recently.

He is currently filming in Hengdian, and another movie will be released during the National Day holiday, so it is a busy time."

The promotion of "Changjin Lake" had already begun when the film was being prepared. After all, it was a war epic with an investment of over 1 billion, so it was not excessive to attach great importance to its publicity and promotion.

Last October, the official film released photos of the mobilization meeting and officially announced the film's starring lineup.

The most noteworthy of these is the high-profile announcement by Gu Wei and Wu Jing to join "The Battle at Lake Changjin", which is also the third collaboration between the two after "Wolf Warrior 2" and "The Wandering Earth".

The familiar setting of two male protagonists, from master and apprentice, father and son to brothers, the reunion of Gu Wei and Wu Jing has made the majority of movie fans look forward to "Changjin Lake".

Since the film was completed in July this year, the official has successively released teaser posters, super long specials, the first trailer, character close-up posters and numerous stills.

On August 8, the crew released the latest trailer.

As the signal flares glided across the night sky, all officers and soldiers of the Seventh Infiltration Company took turns to report their numbers. Wu Wanli, played by Gu Wei, rescued his comrades in the hail of bullets.

A tense and exciting scene raised the audience's expectations to the maximum.

The next day, "Changjin Lake" officially announced that it would be released on October 1st, the National Day, and issued a release date announcement.

"They have sacrificed their youth without regrets to keep our country safe. They are the heroes of the people, they are the backbone of China, and they are the most lovely people.

Now it is a prosperous and flourishing age, just as you imagined!"

As if by tacit agreement, within 24 hours after Bona announced the release date of "Changjin Lake", domestic films such as "Five Boys Jumping into the Water" and "Pipilulu and Luxixi: The Tin Man" followed suit. As of September 9, 10 films have announced their release date, and this year's National Day holiday has become crowded.

Among all the movies, "The Battle at Lake Changjin" and the third part of the "National Day Trilogy" "My Fathers and Me" are undoubtedly the top players competing for the box office champion of the period.

Both movies have the same main theme and are star-studded.

[Changjin Lake] has three major directors, Chen Kaige, Xu Ke, and Lin Chaoxian, while Gu Wei and Wu Jing attract popularity.

"My Fathers and Me" continues the model of this series of directors' patchwork, with Wu Jing, Zhang Ziyi, Xu Zheng and Shen Teng, each responsible for the shooting of a story unit, which is also full of highlights.

At the same time, this film is also the first big-screen work directed by Shen Teng and Zhang Ziyi.

September 9, Yanqi Lake Conference Center, Beijing.

The opening ceremony of the 11th Beijing International Film Festival was held here.

During the red carpet session, the main creative team of "Changjin Lake" made a surprise appearance, including directors Chen Kaige, Xu Ke, Lin Chaoxian, chief producer and screenwriter Huang Jianxin, producer Yu Dong, and starring actors Gu Wei, Wu Jing, Zhu Yawen, Li Chen and others.

"Director Chen, did this on purpose or didn't he receive the notice?"

After the red carpet, everyone entered the venue, and Gu Wei and Wu Jing chatted together.

Wu Jing glanced at Brother Chen Kai who was chatting with others not far away: "I heard that it was his wife who arranged the costumes.

Director Chen is a person who cares about his reputation and he definitely wants to highlight himself."

Just now, the main creators of "Changjin Lake" walked the red carpet. Everyone including Yu Dong, Xu Ke, and Lin Chaoxian wore black suits, except Chen Kai, who for some reason wore a blue suit.

Walking among this group of people, I felt like the moon surrounded by stars.

Normally, for such events, everyone's outfits for the red carpet should either be arranged uniformly or decided in advance.

The [Changjin Lake] team came here simply to walk the red carpet and promote the film. They had all ordered black suits in advance. A group of male directors and artists all looked very stylish in black. No one expected that Brother Chen Kai would be different at the scene.

Everyone saw it, but no one could say anything.

After walking the red carpet, Gu Wei couldn't help but complain to Wu Jing.

"This Chen Hong is also clueless. We are actors and it doesn't matter, but she made Director Xu and Director Lin look like they are inferior to her husband."

"Forget it. Everyone knows that Director Kai is very proud. Didn't you see that Yu Dong looked at him twice at first but he didn't say anything?"

Gu Wei shook his head and stopped paying attention to Brother Chen Kai.

"I thought your film [Me and My Fathers] would not be released during the National Day holiday"

Wu Jing started filming "My Fathers and Me" after finishing "The Battle at Lake Changjin". There were only more than three months from the start of filming to the release of the movie.

"Unlike [Changjin Lake], the post-production of [My Fathers and Me] was relatively simple and quick to do. Basically, it took more than a month to shoot, and another month for the finished film to come out."

Gu Wei smiled and said, "You will be very busy during this period. Two movies will be released during the National Day holiday. You will have a lot of work to do just for the promotions."

“There’s nothing I can do if I catch up. No matter how busy I am with promotion, it won’t be more tiring than filming.

And my main focus should be on [Me and My Parents], after all, you are in [Changjin Lake]” Wu Jing turned his head and looked at Gu Wei, raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Remember to treat me to a meal later!"

"no problem!

After today's event, we can go out and have a get-together. Invite Li Chen and the others to join us. I'll get you two bottles of good wine!"

Wu Jing said proudly.

Gu Wei was somewhat tempted, but then he shook his head when he thought of something.

"I have to fly to Shenzhen tonight to attend the Greater Bay Area Music Gala tomorrow night."

"Well, let's meet again after the premiere of "Changjin Lake" in a few days!"

The evening of September 9st is the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 21th day of the eighth lunar month.

The Spring Cocoon Gymnasium at Shenzhen Bay Sports Center was brightly lit and packed with people.

[“The Moon Rises in the Bay Area” 2021 Greater Bay Area Mid-Autumn Festival Film and Music Gala] is about to begin.

This evening party is jointly organized by the Film Channel, the Central Propaganda Department, and Phoenix TV. It has reunion as its main theme and invites famous singers and actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macao. The purpose is to let everyone feel the cultural atmosphere of the Greater Bay Area and celebrate the joyful and warm reunion moments together.

To put it bluntly, this evening party is used to bring the Greater Bay Area and the mainland closer together, and it has certain united front value.

So when CCTV spoke up, celebrities from the mainland, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan also participated enthusiastically.

The scale and influence of the gala are very large. It will be broadcast live on more than ten TV stations including movie channels, and will be broadcast live on online platforms such as iQiyi, Tencent Video, Youku, Douyin, and Kuaishou.

At 20:15, the evening party officially began.

Jing Tian, ​​Zheng Kai, Guan Xiaotong, Chen Feiyu, Li Zhiting, Guo Caijie and others went on stage to sing the opening song [Together at This Moment Across the World].

None of them are professional singers and they sang with half-open mics. To be honest, the result was very average. Fortunately, the atmosphere was good.

【Sweet and beautiful! 】

[These people don’t sing very well, can’t we let professional singers sing? ]

[I feel that Aarif Lee’s singing is pretty good, better than others.]

[This evening show lasts three hours, Gu Wei's show is at the end, some have been waiting~]

[Looking forward to Gu Wei’s new songs, and hoping he can participate in more music evenings like this]

On the Internet, the [Greater Bay Area Music Gala] has attracted a lot of attention. People are watching the show while posting comments and criticizing the stars who are singing on the stage.

After the opening song, several hosts including Lan Yu, Deng Chao, and Xie Nicholas Tse took the stage.

For this kind of evening party, even the identity of the host is particular. Lan Yu represents the official, Deng Chao represents the mainland entertainment circle, and Nicholas Tse is the representative of the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan entertainment circles.

After the host finished his speech, all the stars came on stage to sing "Pearl of the Orient".

Led by Huang Xiaoming, more than 20 stars including Yao Chen, Liu Ye, Du Jiang, Jing Boyan and Hua Chenyu took the stage one after another.

Basically, each person speaks one sentence, giving some celebrities who don’t have any other shows a chance to show their faces, such as Fan Chengcheng and Hua Chenyu.

That’s right, the “God of Chinese Pop” had no chance to perform at the first [Greater Bay Area Music Gala] and could only sing a few lines of lyrics in the chorus.

In the dressing room backstage at the party.

"Brother Wei, did you write this song specifically for this party?"

Deng Ziqi has changed into her performance clothes and put on makeup. Her long wavy hair falls down her shoulders, and the tube top design of her top adds a touch of sexiness to her.

She was very surprised when she learned that she was going to sing a duet with Gu Wei, and was even more surprised when she got the demo of the song.

Because it was a new song she had never heard before, and the melody was beautiful and very pleasant to the ear.

Thinking of the rumors that Gu Wei would write a song for every large-scale evening party he attended, she admired Gu Wei's talent even more.

"I wrote this song earlier, and it just happened to coincide with the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. This song has something to do with the moon, so I wrote it out."

“That’s amazing, I really like this song, it’s really good!
Brother Wei, do you have a lot of songs that you have written but not released yet?" Deng Ziqi asked curiously.

Gu Wei thought about it and nodded: "Some, but not many."

"I really hope you can release an album soon and release all the new songs."

Gu Wei smiled and said, "I remember the last time we met on Running Man, you said you wanted me to release an album to put all my old songs together. Now you want me to release a new album. Isn't that a bit too much to ask?"

"I feel bad that you are so talented but you can't spend more time on music." (End of this chapter)
