Huayu is free to do as you like

Beijing.

The golden sunshine of the afternoon filled the bedroom, and a white kitten lay lazily on the clean and soft wool carpet.

The room was very quiet and the sunshine was very warm. The sleeping cat heard some noise and opened his eyes a little, but found nothing. He yawned, turned over and was about to fall asleep again.

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

The cat was stunned for a moment and was about to struggle, then fell into a familiar embrace. It purred coquettishly and closed its eyes again, enjoying the caress of its owner.

"This drama will be broadcast so soon."

Liu Yifei, who was sitting by the window, was petting a cat in one hand and holding a pad in the other. She 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 in the morning. It tastes very good."

As she spoke, she placed the fruit plate within reach of her daughter.

Liu Yifei took one and peeled it open, revealing the crystal clear lychee flesh inside.

"Yeah, very sweet~"

Mother Liu smiled and sat down opposite her.

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

"Fortunately, although the shooting cycle of [Menghualu] is long, the daily shooting tasks are not compact."

"What do you think of this play?"

"It's pretty good. The story is my favorite type. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to take it.

The crew’s costumes are very good and the production is very well done.”

"Where are the co-actors? Are they still getting along?"

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

When we finalized and left the group, I even gave them LV bags as gifts.”

Speaking of this, she seemed to remember something and suddenly laughed: "It's funny to say that the actor who plays Ouyang Xu in the crew is actually a fan of mine. In the play, he is Chen Shimei who abandoned "Zhao Pan'er". The director immediately changed her He looks like a star-chasing fan."

Liu Xiaoli also laughed after hearing this: "It is normal for my daughter to be such a beautiful star and have some fans in the same industry.

As for the male protagonist, is it going well for you to work together? "

After Liu Yifei finished eating a lychee, she spat out the core and put it aside. She thought about it and said, "Chen Xiao is quite professional and has good lines and acting skills.

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

"Huh? Is he such a famous person?"

Liu Yifei waved her hand: "No.

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

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

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

"Oh, that little dragon girl with chicken legs"

Liu Xiaoli usually surfs the Internet, and when Chen Yanxi was scolded, netizens frequently compared her to Liu Yifei, so she knew this very well.

"She looks bad and gets scolded by the audience, and it has nothing to do with you."

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

"I remember that you originally invited Gu Wei for the drama [Menghualu]. It would be great if he could come and act. It would be more enjoyable for you to shoot, and it would also ensure the success of this drama." Liu Xiaoli said with some regret.

The corners of Liu Yifei's mouth raised slightly when she heard her mother's words.

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

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

Didn't you say you like that book very much? "

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

"real?"

Liu Yifei nodded: "Gu Wei's new drama was launched in Hengdian a few days ago. I mentioned this drama when I went to visit him."

"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. At present, one drama has not been aired, so it is still unknown whether she can maintain the good results of the year.

If you can cooperate with Gu Wei, you don't have to worry about this problem. With his fame and popularity, the TV series he participates in will undoubtedly be a hit.

“When will [Go to a Windy Place] start shooting?”

"Next year at the earliest, 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. With this step, he can become a real international superstar!

By the way, ask him when he has time, invite him to your house for a meal, and thank him."

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

"My silly girl, [The Wind] is just a small-budget pastoral drama. If Gu Wei didn't care about you, could you take it?"

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

And it’s not like he has never been to our house before.”

"Just do it if I ask you to do so. No matter what the relationship was like before, it's always right to move around more. It's not strange to be polite to others."

Liu Yifei nodded reluctantly: "Okay, but I guess he won't have time recently.

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

The promotion of "Changjin Lake" has already started when the film was being filmed. After all, it is a war masterpiece with an investment of over 1 billion, and the publicity and distribution aspects cannot be overemphasized.

In October last year, the film officially released photos of the pep rally and officially announced the film's starring cast.

Among them, the most concerning thing is the high-profile announcement by Gu Wei and Wu Jing to join "Changjin Lake". This 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 brother, and the reunion of Gu Wei and Wu Jing have made the majority of movie fans look forward to "Changjin Lake".

Since the filming of the film was completed in July this year, officials have successively released pilot posters, super-long specials, the first trailer, character close-up posters and many stills.

On August 30, the crew released the latest trailer.

The signal flare slipped under the night, and all the officers and soldiers of the 7th Interconnection Company took turns to report the count. Wu Wanli, played by Gu Wei, braved the hail of bullets to rescue his comrades.

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

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

"They exchange youth and no regrets for the safety of the country. They are the heroes of the people, they are the backbone of China, and they are the loveliest people.

Today's prosperous world is just as you imagined! "

There seems to be a tacit understanding. After Bona's high-profile official announcement of "Changjin Lake" was finalized, within 24 hours, domestic films such as "Five Boys Who Dive into the Water" and "Pipiru and Lu Xixi: Canned Villains" were released. They followed up one after another and set the schedule.

As of September 10, 11 movies have been announced to be on the eleventh schedule, and this year's National Day schedule has suddenly become crowded.

Among all the movies, "Changjin Lake" and the third part of the "National Day Trilogy" "My Fathers and Me" are undoubtedly the seed players competing for the box office championship.

The two movies have the same main theme and both feature stars.

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

"My Fathers and I" continues the director's platter format of this series. Wu Jing, Zhang Ziyi, Xu Zheng, and Shen Teng are each responsible for the shooting of a story unit, and they are equally full of highlights.

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

September 20, Yanqi Lake Conference Center in Beijing.

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

On the red carpet, the main creative team of [Changjin Lake] made a surprise appearance, including directors Chen Kaige, Xu Ke, and Lin Chaoxian, producer and screenwriter Huang Jianxin, producer Yu Dong, and starring Gu Wei, Wu Jing, Zhu Yawen, and Li Chen Others form a group to appear.

"Director Chen, is this intentional or was he not notified?"

After the red carpet ended, everyone entered the venue, where 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 his wife arranged the clothes.

Director Chen loves face and must want to stand out."

The main creators of [Changjin Lake] just walked on the red carpet. Everyone including Yu Dong, Xu Ke, and Lin Chaoxian were all dressed in black suits. Only Brother Chen Kai wore a blue suit for some reason.

Walking among this group of people, it’s like being surrounded by stars.

Logically speaking, everyone's outfits on the red carpet for this kind of event should either be uniformly arranged or decided in advance.

The [Changjin Lake] team came simply to walk on the red carpet for promotion. All black suits were ordered in advance. A group of male directors and artists were all dressed in black, which was very stylish. No one expected that Brother Chen Kai would be different at the scene.

Everyone saw it, but no one could say anything.

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

"This Chen Hong is also incredible. It doesn't matter that we are actors. She makes Directors Xu and Director Lin look like they are a head shorter than her husband."

"Forget it, everyone knows that Director Kai Ge is very face-conscious. He didn't look at Yu Dong and he didn't say anything at first."

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

“I thought your movie [My Fathers and Me] wouldn’t be able to catch up with the National Day release.”

Wu Jing finished filming "Changjin Lake" and then started filming "My Fathers and Me". From the start of filming to the release of the movie, it only took more than three months.

"Unlike [Changjin Lake], the post-production of [My Fathers and Me] was relatively simple and fast. It basically took more than a month to shoot, and the film was released in another month."

Gu Wei smiled and said: "So you are very busy during this period. Two movies will be released together during the National Day holiday. You will have a lot of money just for publicity."

“There’s nothing we can do if we catch up. No matter how busy we are with promotion, it will never be more difficult than filming.

And my main focus should be on [my parents and I], after all, you are here at [Changjin Lake]." Wu Jing turned to look at Gu Wei, raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Remember to treat me to dinner later!"

"no problem!

After today's event, we can go out and get together. Call Li Chen and the others together, and I'll get two bottles of good wine! "

Wu Jinghao said angrily.

Gu Wei was a little moved, but thought of something and shook his head.

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

"Well, let's get together again after the [Changjin Lake] premiere in a few days!"

The evening of September 21st is the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month.

The Spring Cocoon Gymnasium of Shenchengwan Sports Center is brightly lit and crowded with people.

["Bay Area Rising Moon" 2021 Greater Bay Area Mid-Autumn Festival Film and Music Gala] is about to begin.

This evening party is jointly hosted by the Film Channel, the Central Propaganda Department, and Phoenix TV. It is based on the theme of reunion and invites famous singers and actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau. The purpose is to let everyone feel the cultural atmosphere of the Greater Bay Area and celebrate the joyful and warm reunion moment together.

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

So CCTV opened the door, and celebrities from the mainland and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan also actively participated.

The scale and influence of the evening party are very large. It will be broadcast live on more than a dozen TV stations including the Film Channel, and will be broadcast live on iQiyi, Tencent Video, Douyin, Kuaishou and other online platforms.

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 [Tianya Gong Shi Mo].

None of them are professional singers, and they sing with half microphones. To be honest, the effect is very average, but fortunately the atmosphere is finally good.

[Tiantian is so beautiful! 】

【These people don't sing well, can't we let professional singers sing? 】

【I feel that Li Zhiting sings well, better than others.】

【This evening party lasts three hours, Gu Wei's program is at the end, some have been waiting~】

【Looking forward to Gu Wei's new song, I hope he can participate in more such music evenings】

On the Internet, the [Greater Bay Area Music Evening] has received a lot of attention. Everyone is watching the program while posting barrage comments, commenting on the stars who are on the stage to sing.

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

For such evening parties, even the identity of the host is particular. Lan Yu represents the official, Deng Chao represents the mainland entertainment industry, and Xie Nicholas Tse is the representative of the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan entertainment industry.

After the host's speech, the stars took the stage to sing [Pearl of the Orient].

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

Basically, each person sings a line, giving some stars who don't have a show a chance to show up, such as Fan Chengcheng and Hua Chenyu.

That's right, the "God of Chinese Music" had no chance to perform at the first [Greater Bay Area Music Gala], and could only sing a line of lyrics in the chorus.

In the dressing room behind the gala.

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

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 makes her look sexy.

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

Because this is a new song she has never heard before, and the melody is beautiful and very pleasant.

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

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

"That's great, I like this song very much, it's really nice!

Brother Wei, do you have a lot of songs that you wrote but haven't 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 as soon as possible and release all the new songs."

Gu Wei smiled and said: "I remember the last time we met on [Running Man], you said you hoped I would release an album to put the old songs together, and now you want me to release a new song album. Isn't it a bit too much to ask?"

"I feel sorry for you, Brother Wei, you are so talented but you can't spend more time on music." (End of this chapter)
