Returning to 2011, life's path began to diverge from the moment he filled out his college application.
Discovering he had actually enrolled in a performance major and seeing familiar face...
Chapter 174 Does My Clothes Look Familiar?
The morning sun shone through the window onto the messy bed.
Yang Mi was lying on the bed without any sleeping posture, with the thin quilt barely covering half of her body, and her beautiful white legs were exposed.
The feeling of having the sunlight on her face was obviously not very comfortable. She frowned and then slowly opened her eyes.
The messy bedroom was in a state of disarray, and this state showed how fierce the battle was last night.
Yang Mi rubbed his eyes and sat up.
After the quilt slipped off, her beautiful spring scenery was exposed, but unfortunately there was no one else in the room except her.
The beautiful scenery goes unappreciated.
After getting out of bed, he picked up the clothes scattered on the floor and put them together.
I opened the closet in the room and found a silk pajamas to put on.
Pushing open the bedroom door, Yang Mi walked out.
"Morning, Sister Mi~"
In the open kitchen, Gu Wei was wearing the same black and white plaid shirt he wore yesterday, with his sleeves rolled up high and an apron wrapped around his front.
He held a large transparent bowl in his left hand and a pair of chopsticks in his right hand, stirring the egg liquid in the bowl.
Seeing Yang Mi coming out of the bedroom, he greeted her with a smile. The sunlight shone through the side window onto Gu Wei's handsome face, making his smile look particularly bright.
"Breakfast will be ready soon. Go brush your teeth and you can eat when you come back."
Yang Mi, who was still a little dazed when he woke up early in the morning, saw that Gu Wei was a little dazed at the moment, and only reacted after hearing his words.
"Uh~Okay~"
Entering the bathroom, Yang Mi washed his face twice, looked at himself in the mirror, and said to himself:
"Don't be crazy about him, he's a scumbag and he's clearly rejected you before, so there's no chance of you two being together.
Remember, Yang Mi, you must pursue your career and be an independent and free woman."
After a while, Yang Mi came out of the bathroom looking much more energetic.
She walked over to the dining table and saw breakfast for two on it.
There are millet porridge, bread, omelets and vegetable salad.
"I saw there wasn't much in your refrigerator, so I had to make something simple."
Gu Wei untied his apron and put it on the chair beside him, then sat opposite Yang Mi and started eating breakfast.
"I didn't expect you could cook?"
Yang Mi picked up the bread, took a bite, and then slowly drank a small sip of porridge.
The millet porridge was steaming and a little hot.
"Bread and eggs should go with milk. I remember there's milk in the refrigerator."
Although he was very satisfied with the breakfast, Yang Mi still asked with some doubts.
Gu Wei picked up the bowl, blew on it, and slowly took a sip.
Said slowly.
"You drank quite a bit of wine last night. Drinking a bowl of millet porridge in the morning will nourish your stomach and be good for your health."
For a moment, Yang Mi was also touched by Gu Wei's attentiveness.
"Miss Mi, do you have any work arrangements recently?"
Gu Wei didn't notice anything unusual about Yang Mi at all, and asked casually while eating.
"I'll have some magazine shoots and commercial performances soon, and next month I'll be joining the filming of a movie called 'City of Love'."
Gu Wei thought about it and had no impression of this movie at all.
"Who is the director?"
"This is a film made up of five love stories, shot by five different directors.
The director who filmed my story is Wen Muye."
"What's the director's name?"
Gu Wei, who was drinking porridge, almost choked when he heard what Yang Mi said.
"Wen Muye, what's wrong?"
Yang Mi was a little confused as to why Gu Wei reacted so strongly.
"It's okay, I think I heard this name mentioned by a teacher in school. He's also a director who graduated from the Film and Television Academy, and we're classmates.
Make a good movie and build a good relationship with the director, maybe it will be useful in the future."
After hearing what Gu Wei said, Yang Mi agreed and said he understood.
"What about you? Didn't you say your schedule is very full recently? What are your plans next?"
"Next month I will be filming a TV series that my company will produce.
I plan to wrap up filming by the end of the year and then start shooting a new movie.”
Yang Mi was not surprised that Gu Wei was filming a TV series, but she was more curious about the film industry, after all, Gu Wei had just refused to act in a movie with her.
"What's the name of the movie?"
"[Monster Hunt]"
"[Monster Hunt]? That name sounds familiar."
"Have you seen the news about Ke Zhendong a while ago? He was the lead actor in a movie before."
After hearing what Gu Wei said, Yang Mi suddenly understood.
"I remember now, this movie is going to be remade?"
Yang Mi said this with some concern.
“This movie doesn’t have a very good reputation right now, and many people in the industry think it’s unlucky.
You take over the mess left by others, and if the film doesn't perform well after it is released, it will affect you.
With your current fame, you can definitely get better resources."
Gu Wei also knew that Yang Mi was concerned about him, and he said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I really like the novel shooting style of this movie and I think it is a new attempt.
The producers have the courage to take a leap of faith. With such a high production cost, the movie won't be too bad.
And with me here, this movie will definitely be a success, you have to have faith in me, Sister Mi~"
Listening to Gu Wei's words, Yang Mi rolled his eyes at him.
"I don't know where you get so much inexplicable confidence from.
Forget it, I can't persuade you, I just hope this movie is really as you said."
After breakfast, Gu Wei said goodbye to Yang Mi and left her house.
Ask the driver to take him directly to the company.
Gu Wei still has a lot of work to do, and there are many things in the company waiting for him to deal with.
Sitting in the office, Gu Wei was looking at the information handed to him by his assistant.
Among them are some detailed data after the broadcast of "Yu Zui", which the company has always been concerned about.
Although this web drama has been completely packaged and sold to LeTV Video, as the producer, the performance of the TV series after its release is also very important to them.
Only if the TV series it produces always have good broadcast results can the company take the initiative and sell the series at a good price in the future.
As the most popular TV series in the summer season, "Gu Jian Qi Tan" not only has the highest ratings on TV stations, but also has set new records in online broadcast volume.
As an exclusive online streaming platform, Youku Video has made a lot of money, making Tencent, Kiwi and LeTV jealous.
At the beginning of the year, Tencent had a hit title, "The Princess Weiyoung," which left the other two companies a bit behind.
Of course, compared to the helpless Kiwi, LeTV still has some confidence, after all, it still holds [Yuzui] in its hands.
The proprietress, Mrs. Gan, is very confident about this web drama. Seeing that the online playback volume of "Gu Jian" is approaching 10 billion, although she is envious, she is also more confident about "Yu Zui" in her hand.
Although it bought "Yuzui" early on, LeTV Video is still as steady as an old dog and did not release it in a hurry.
They began to slowly advertise on the platform, using the hype created by the original crew of "The Princess Weiyoung" to warm up for the release of the web drama.
When the summer blockbuster "Gu Jian" became a hit on the Internet, LeTV had no intention of broadcasting "Yu Zui" to compete with Youku, but instead postponed the release date again and again within the company.
It was not until late August that "Gu Jian" was taken off the screen and LeTV Video held a high-profile premiere of "Yu Zui".
After waiting for more than two months, the audience who have been looking forward to this web drama, which is said to be an absolute masterpiece, can finally have a glimpse of it.
At the end of last month, when the web drama was about to be released, Gu Wei was invited by LeTV Video to shoot a promotional video of dozens of seconds to help with the final promotion of "Yu Zui".
He simply praised the TV series for its excellent production and said it would definitely not disappoint the audience.
Gu Wei's popularity at this time brought considerable attention to the TV series.
Judging from the accurate data obtained from Gu Wei, LeTV Video’s marketing strategy is very good.
Because it avoided direct conflict with the top TV series "Gu Jian" and coupled with more than two months of hunger marketing, "Yu Zui" has been highly anticipated.
In addition, many viewers fell into a drama drought after the end of "Gu Jian", and with the advertisement of Gu Wei, they also turned their attention to "Yu Zui".
Within 72 hours of its launch, the video had been played over 80 million times on mobile devices. Seven days after its launch, the cumulative number of plays exceeded 300 million times.
This playback data clearly tells everyone that the new hit online drama is here!
This web drama is updated on LeTV Video every Monday to Wednesday at 8 pm. The first season has 12 episodes, and all of them have been aired as of yesterday, Wednesday, September 17th.
It has been on air for 24 days, from the 25th Monday of the last week of August to now.
A total of 24 episodes in two seasons, half of which have been aired.
Since its premiere, "Yu Zui" has accumulated over 1.4 billion views, which has become a hot topic in the industry. The average daily views exceed 60 million, and it is the fastest online drama to exceed 1 billion views on the entire network.
In the past month, it has been at the top of authoritative lists such as Baidu TV Ranking, Gudao Online Drama Daily Red List, and Pure Online Popular Drama Weibo TV Ranking.
In addition to its popularity online, the reputation of "Yu Zui" is also beyond imagination. More than 70,000 people gave it a high score of 8.2 on the Douban platform.
Gu Wei took out his cell phone and looked through the media and audience reviews of the drama on the Internet.
The media generally believes that over the decades of development of police and gangster films, the stereotyped and symbolic police and gangster elements have caused the police and gangster market to gradually decline.
On the one hand, [Yu Zui] no longer repeats the traditional heroic images of the past, but instead shapes the protagonist into a small person who completes a reversal in the struggle.
On the other hand, the focus is on promoting development with the psychological struggle between police and criminals as the main line, and opening up new types within the barriers of the original police and criminal works.
This is the main reason for the success of the TV series.
It is different from the previous domestic police and criminal investigation dramas in that it does not simply establish glorious characters full of justice.
Instead, the protagonist is injected with an evil spirit. A person who does not look like a policeman does the job of a policeman and turns the impossible into possible, thus completing the reversal of the little man.
It makes the audience feel more down-to-earth.
The comments from viewers on Douban and Weibo are more direct.
Zhang Yishan's acting was so good, you can't tell it's the original Liu Xing.
This web drama is so addictive that I can’t stop watching it. I love the character “Bitch Yu” so much.
[While watching, I kept taking deep breaths to calm the excitement and love surging in my heart.
Zhang Yishan is really different! 】
【"Liu Xing" has completely grown up! 】
[Zhang Yishan is completely different. I'm starting to like him! !]
【.】
Gu Wei smiled as he read through the comments from netizens. It was obvious that [Yu Zui] was a success.
This web drama can definitely be regarded as Zhang Yishan's comeback work.
Through "Yu Zui", Zhang Yishan completely broke away from the role of "Liu Xing" in "Home with Kids", and the audience also got to know a different Zhang Yishan.
In addition to him as the protagonist, Zhang Tianai who plays the female lead, Yang Caiyu who plays "sister-in-law", Li Xian who plays "Xie Bing" and Meng Ziyi who plays "An Jialu" have all attracted a wave of attention to varying degrees through "Yu Zui".
By filming a TV series, Gu Wei makes money while helping his actors increase their fame, a win-win situation.
After handling official business at the company for a day, I received an invitation to dinner two nights later in the afternoon.
One is the beautiful classmate Yang, and the other is my junior schoolmate Meng Ziyi.
Gu Wei looked at the invitation messages sent by two people on WeChat, and without much thought, he directly rejected Meng Ziyi.
He was the other party's boss, so he didn't need to find any euphemistic excuses. He just said that he was busy and asked the junior high school girl to study hard while she was not working. He would treat her to a meal next time when he had time.
In the evening, in the presidential suite of the Beijing Hilton Hotel, Gu Wei and Yang Caiyu, who was dressed in a formal attire, sat opposite each other and tasted the Wagyu beef dishes carefully prepared by the hotel chef.
Gu Wei opened a bottle of French Bordeaux red wine worth ten thousand yuan.
"Gu Wei, I asked you out for dinner this time because I wanted to thank you for the opportunity you gave me. The release of [Yu Zui] was a huge hit, and it gave me, a minor supporting role, some fame."
Yang Caiyu was wearing a black evening gown, revealing a pair of arms and a slender white neck. The skin on her face was white, tender and transparent, with seductive red lips and charming eyes. She picked up the wine glass and smiled slightly, revealing two cute dimples.
"It's nothing, we're all old classmates. I'm just giving you an audition opportunity, the rest is up to you.
Only when you play a role well can the audience remember you, and all this is due to your own efforts."
Gu Wei also raised his wine glass and responded to Yang with a smile.
Yang Caiyu didn't agree with what Gu Wei said.
Doesn't she know whether she can really rely on herself?
Her so-called audition was more like a formality. When she went to the crew, she didn't see any other actors auditioning for her role.
Moreover, she has been following "Yu Zui" since it was released. Yang Caiyu found that the role of the third female "sister-in-law" she played seemed to be more outstanding than the female lead.
This is not her own feeling, and you can feel it by reading the comments online.
A few days ago, the news that Nazha terminated her contract with Tangren was also reported by the media. Needless to say, it was definitely Gu Wei's work.
I heard from people in the company that a TV series with Nazha as the heroine is about to be launched.
All these strengthened her determination to cling to Gu Wei.
Gu Wei enjoyed the meal very much. After all, having a beautiful lady eat with you and always praise you during the chat would make anyone feel comfortable.
After dinner, the night grew darker, and the rest of the events happened naturally.
In the bedroom, Yang pushed Gu Wei onto the bed. Because of drinking, his face was a little red, and his beautiful big eyes were a little blurry.
"Gu Wei, does the clothes I'm wearing today look familiar to you?"
Gu Wei, lying on his back on the bed, thought about it and it seemed to be the same costume as the "sister-in-law" in one of the episodes of [Yu Zui].
Gu Wei's eyes lit up, but before he could say anything, Yang Caiyu had already leaned close to his ear, exhaling warmly and whispering softly:
"I bought it specifically to look like a costume from the show."
