Chapter 420 Campus Male God and Idol (Two in One)

After hearing what Gu Wei said, Reba hurriedly got off him.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? It'll take me a while to put on my makeup. I won't be too late, will I?"

Reba began to dress herself up anxiously.

Gu Wei sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, put one arm on the backrest, and said with a smile:

“Don’t rush, take your time, there’s plenty of time”

Reba sat in front of him with her back to him, putting on makeup. Her back was slender and graceful, and Gu Wei watched with great interest.

"Have you been busy with the work Jiaxing assigned to you recently?"

"It's okay. It's just some odd jobs, a few commercial performances and magazine photo shoots. It mainly gives me time to prepare for our drama."

Reba said as she applied powder on her face.

"Originally, the company was planning to produce a TV series in the second half of the year, with me playing the female lead. But now that I'm filming 'You Are My Glory,' I've pushed that show back a bit."

Reba laughed when she said this.

"I never thought that one day, due to my own schedule conflict, the company would postpone the filming of a new drama for me.

I’m not very famous right now, so I was quite flattered when Mr. Zeng said that.”

Gu Wei smiled.

"It's nothing. A low-brow actor certainly wouldn't enjoy this kind of treatment. For a real big star, it's not unbelievable to ask the crew to change the schedule for one person.

What's more, this drama is produced by your own company.

You are now a rising star at Jiaxing Media. Everyone is optimistic about your future success, so you can naturally enjoy the treatment of a big star in advance."

"I'm not some big star. Mr. Zeng is so easy to talk to because of you."

Reba said this with the corners of her mouth raised high.

Gu Wei thought about it and felt that what he said was a little inappropriate and might easily mislead Reba, so he said:

“Although big-name stars may have many privileges, if they want to stay in our industry for a long time, it is better not to use these privileges.

Whether it is to the director, crew members or other small actors, try to be gentle and avoid overlapping with other actors if possible. A good reputation is the foundation of an artist's survival.

Don't be too anxious in many cases, because you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

You see, because Sister Mi was too eager to become famous, she took on multiple roles and offended some people, which led to a lack of film resources for her later on.

If she had been able to take steady steps at that time, her achievements would definitely be higher than they are now!

You will definitely be famous in the future, so you should pay more attention to these things..."

After hearing what Gu Wei said, Reba nodded in agreement.

She is not famous yet. Recently, she has enjoyed various cares from the company because of Gu Wei, and she feels very happy about it. However, she still has a clear understanding of herself.

Moreover, Reba is actually a bit introverted. She is very serious about her work and has a strong sense of career, but she is not keen on socializing and making friends. Just like now, after finishing her work in Shanghai, she stays alone in the house to study the script. She is a beautiful woman who prefers to stay at home.

Gu Wei calculated the broadcast time of "Eternal Love" and the shooting and production time of the current "You Are My Glory".

"By next summer at the latest, when the two dramas you filmed this year are released, you will be a huge star. Even if you can't compare to Sister Mi, you will definitely be at the top of the domestic entertainment industry."

"Haha~ You're just teasing me."

Although she said this, Reba still believed what Gu Wei said. In today's entertainment industry, Gu Wei has become a recognized "nanny" among celebrities, and his ability to raise children is unparalleled.

Any female star who works with him will become famous.

Even actresses who are already very famous can reach a higher level by working with Gu Wei.

The most typical example is Nazha, who rose from a second- or third-tier female star to the top female star in the domestic entertainment industry thanks to the drama "Love O2O" last year.

In this year's "Detective Chinatown 2", her role as "KIKO" is still very outstanding. She can be said to have achieved success in both film and television. Her personal fame and popularity are catching up with the most popular ones among the 85 flowers.

Others like Yang Mi and Liu Yifei, although they were very famous before working with Gu Wei, have never had a good performance in the film industry.

Yang Mi is known as the queen of bad movies, and Liu Yifei's films have always performed poorly at the box office, but the two films "Assassin 2" and "Detective Chinatown 2" she collaborated with Gu Wei directly raised their achievements in the film industry to several levels.

The two films can definitely be regarded as their future masterpieces.

There is also Tang Yan, who has always played Mary Sue. "Nirvana in Fire" is definitely a successful transformation for her. It has changed the audience's previous stereotype of her. Many fans of Tang Yan who have watched the show are excited that their idol is finally going to develop into a powerful actor.

Nowadays, ambitious female stars in the entertainment industry are trying their best to find opportunities to cooperate with Gu Wei, hoping to ride on his coattails.

Unfortunately, Gu Wei's current works are either produced by his own company or are top resources from some large companies, which are beyond the reach of ordinary female stars. What's more, Gu Wei's own company also has female artists. Unless the role is really unsuitable, he rarely chooses to cooperate with female stars from outside.

Yang Mi and Liu Yifei are his good friends who helped Gu Wei when he was less famous.

Gu Wei's first film, "The Blade of the Assassin," was with Liu Yifei, and his first TV series, "Swords of Legends," was with Yang Mi. To be honest, both of these films and TV series relied on the fame of the two female stars to become successful.

At that time, Gu Wei was still a newcomer, especially when he was filming "The Sword Identity", he had no fame at all.

If Liu Yifei hadn't joined, I'm afraid no one would have come to watch the movie just for Gu Wei at that time.

Later on, Gu Wei quickly became famous and it was out of control, but the friendship between the several people working together and their friendship with each other continued.

Of course, the relationship with Liu Yifei is purer.

As for Yang Mi, in addition to their "friendship", the conflict of interests between the two is becoming deeper and deeper, especially after Gu Wei invested in Jiaxing Media. They can be said to be grasshoppers in the same boat. This bond of emotion and interest is the reason why Yang Mi and Gu Wei are getting closer and closer.

"What play did Zeng Jia arrange for you?"

Gu Wei asked.

"It's called 'Pretty Lee Hye Jin', a remake of a Korean drama, and I've got the script."

Having said that, Reba stopped what she was doing, turned her head and looked at Gu Wei with a hopeful look on her face.

"I heard the male lead hasn't been decided yet. Can you act with me?"

Gu Wei shrugged.

"I'm afraid not. After we finish this drama, I have another movie to start, so I can't schedule it~"

Reba looked regretful, but she also knew that continuing to work with Gu Wei was a pure luxury.

After a while, Reba finished her makeup, changed into a beautiful pink long dress, wore a pair of white high heels, and a brown sun hat. She looked fashionable, gorgeous and full of youthfulness.

Reba, standing in front of Gu Wei, held the brim of her hat and twisted her body in a small circle. Her pink floral skirt with ruffled edges fluttered like a morning glory.

"How is it? Does it look good?"

"Otherwise, I'd always let you play the big star. You're so beautiful!"

Gu Wei exclaimed in admiration.

"Hehe, let's go."

Reba accepted all the praise from Gu Wei, walked up to him happily, held his arm and walked out.

However, she still had some sense and knew that she could do whatever she wanted in the house, but she shouldn't be too close to Gu Wei outside. After she came out, she naturally let go of Gu Wei's hand and walked side by side with him.

In the private room of the hotel restaurant, director Lin Yufen, some of the main creative staff of the crew, and several main actors who have now joined the crew are all there.

Everyone received a notice that Gu Wei would join the crew today and treat the main crew members to a meal, so they all waited here early.

In fact, among the people at the table, except for a few actors, Director Lin Yufen and Gu Wei are very familiar with each other after working together several times, and they can be considered his old friends. Except for Director Lin’s own people, the other creative staff are all employees of the company. It can be said that everyone is one of them.

"Sister Yaoyao, will we be able to meet the famous star Gu Wei soon?"

There were two pretty girls sitting at the inner side of the round table. One of them had delicate features and short hair. She looked more like Gao Yuanyuan and looked very young.

The other girl who asked the question looked a little younger than her, with a slightly round face, big eyes, and plump cheeks. She looked very sweet, but the girl had a very plump figure, and her towering bust formed a sharp contrast with her sweet looks.

"Didn't the crew say before we came that the producer and male lead of our show has arrived? It's undoubtedly Gu Wei."

"Sister Yaoyao, you are also a student of Beijing Film Academy. Have you seen Gu Wei at school?

I'm a fan of his, I really like him. I went to the roadshow of Detective Chinatown 2 in Shanghai a while ago, but unfortunately I couldn't buy a ticket to the show. I just watched from afar through the crowd outside!

The sweet-looking girl looked excited when she mentioned Gu Wei.

The actress whom she called Sister Yaoyao was much calmer.

"Of course I have. Although I am a year younger than him, I could occasionally see Gu Wei on campus when I was a freshman.

At that time, in his free time, he would play basketball on the campus of Beijing Film Academy with Zhang Yishan and Li Xian.

Let me tell you, back then, Gu Wei wasn't as famous as he is now, but every time he showed up at school, there were always a lot of seniors and juniors watching him play."

"Really? Sister Yaoyao, you're so lucky! You actually got to see Gu Wei play basketball in person. What does he look like? Isn't he super handsome?"

The little girl pulled the other person's arm excitedly, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Tsk tsk, he's really handsome.

At that time, there was no one as handsome as him in the previous and next generations of Beijing Film Academy. He also had a great physique and good basketball skills."

As Jiang Peiyao spoke, she recalled the summer when she first entered college. She was dragged to the playground by other girls in her class to watch Gu Wei, who was said to be the most handsome boy in Beijing Film Academy at the time, play basketball.

Under the summer sun, a breeze blew across the campus, and the basketball court was surrounded by students, most of whom were girls.

Those who play basketball are all students of Beijing Film Academy. Logically, their looks are above average, but Gu Wei stands out among this group of handsome guys and is extremely outstanding.

Especially Gu Wei played basketball very well. From time to time, he would dribble past people and shoot layups, which would arouse the cheers of the girls watching. All the girls outside the court were looking at him.

That slender figure, handsome and sunny face, and the perfect figure revealed when he lifted up his jersey to wipe the sweat after the slam dunk

Until now, Gu Wei has graduated from Beijing Film Academy, and she has been admitted to the graduate school of acting, but the image of Gu Wei playing basketball on the court that summer is still unforgettable in her mind.

While the two little girls were chattering in low voices, Gu Wei also brought Reba into the private room.

"Gu Wei is here~"

"Mr. Gu!"

“.”

As soon as the two entered the door, Director Lin Yufen extended his hand to greet them, and other staff members stood up to greet Gu Wei, and Gu Wei responded with a smile.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Gu Wei said apologetically.

"It's not the time we agreed on yet. I asked them to come early."

Lin Yufen said with a smile.

"Gu Wei, let me introduce you to these actors I selected for the play.

Wang Yanlin plays Zhai Liang, the college classmate of the male protagonist Yu Tu.

"Yanlin, nice to meet you again. I didn't expect that we can work together this time."

Gu Wei looked at Wang Yanlin with a smile.

"Boss Gu, this is the first time I'm acting with you, so please bear with me if I have any questions!"

Wang Yanlin also said with a smile.

"Do you know each other?"

Lin Yufen looked confused.

"My company recently launched a costume drama called Princess Agents, in which Yanlin plays a role. Although we haven't worked together before, I got to know him when I visited the set."

"I never thought that I would be able to work with Mr. Gu one day. It's such an honor."

Wang Yanlin is older than Gu Wei and has a good grasp of social skills.

"Oh, well, don't rush into catching up yet. I have two beautiful actresses to introduce to you."

As he spoke, Lin Yufen pointed at the two little girls sitting beside him.

"Jiang Peiyao, a graduate of the Beijing Film Academy, was admitted to the acting department this year. She plays the female lead's best friend "Pepei" in the crew."

Following her introduction, the little girl who looked like Gao Yuanyuan stood up.

Gu Wei reached out and shook hands lightly with Jiang Peiyao.

"Hello, school girl~

We are only one grade apart. Have we met before in school? "

"When you were in school, you were a very popular person in the school. We did meet in school, but I'm just an ordinary girl. I don't think you would have any impression of me."

Jiang Peiyao looked at Gu Wei opposite her with her big eyes. She never thought that one day she would have the opportunity to film a movie with her former campus idol.

“Although there are many handsome men and beautiful women in Beijing Film Academy, it is rare to find such a pretty schoolgirl. It’s my fault that I didn’t stay in school for too short a time and didn’t get to know her.

But it’s not too late now.”

Gu Wei's nice words came out of his mouth.

Jiang Peiyao covered her mouth and chuckled. The praise from a handsome guy like Gu Wei was simple but made her very happy.

Of course, this is not just because the other party is handsome.

Just like what Weiwei, who was sitting next to her, said just now, she was a fan of Gu Wei, and Jiang Peiyao was Gu Wei's junior. When she first started school, Gu Wei was at the peak of his popularity in the school.

During Jiang Peiyao's four years in college, Gu Wei achieved one amazing result after another. The teachers and classmates around him were all talking about it and regarded Gu Wei as the pride of Beijing Film Academy.

As an ordinary junior of a big star, she was influenced by him and had a deep admiration for Gu Wei.

During this meeting, the image of the basketball idol in my mind during my freshman year overlapped with the real person in front of me, and my favorability towards him soared to the top.

The sweet girl was watching her sister Yaoyao chatting with her idol, with an excited look on her face. She had been chasing the star for several years, and she didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet her idol so closely.

Gu Wei also noticed the girl next to the schoolmate he just met, and turned to look at Lin Yufen.

"Who is this little beauty?"

Director Lin smiled slightly.

"I came to Shanghai to inspect filming locations and went to the Shanghai Theatre Academy to select roles for a play. I chose Xiaotian.

She is a freshman at the Shanghai Theatre Academy this year, and she is young. She plays Xiao Zhu, the assistant to the female lead Qiao Jingjing in the play.

As soon as the director finished speaking, the sweet girl jumped up, smiled broadly at Gu Wei, and said excitedly:

"Hello, my name is Tian Xiwei, I'm 19 years old, and I'm your idol!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present burst into laughter.

Gu Wei looked at Reba beside him helplessly, and Reba smiled and winked at him.

"Hello, idol"

Gu Wei said deliberately.

"No, no, you are my idol. I really like your acting and I am your die-hard fan."

It was the first time that Tian Xiwei saw her idol and she was so excited that she was a little incoherent.

"Don't be nervous. We'll be filming together again and seeing each other every day. Should I call you Xiaotian or Weiwei?"

"Idol, please call me Xiaotian. My friends all call me that~"

Hearing Gu Wei's gentle words, Tian Xiwei took a few deep breaths and slowly calmed herself down.

“You don’t have to call me idol, you can just call me by my name or Brother Wei.

Then Xiaotian, happy cooperation in future filmings!"

As he spoke, Gu Wei extended his hand to her.

Tian Xiwei stretched out her hand and shook hands with Gu Wei. After letting go, she looked at the hand she had just shaken with wide eyes, a look of joy on her face, which made everyone laugh.

It looked like she wouldn't wash that hand for a few days.

A dinner party started in such a cheerful atmosphere, and later several people got to know Reba separately.

Gu Wei and Jiang Peiyao are alumni, and the sweet girl Tian Xiwei and Wang Yanlin are both from the Shanghai Theatre Academy. Wang Yanlin is from the class of 2008, four years earlier than Reba. The three of them are alumni.

The main actors of the crew of [You Are My Glory], in addition to the few people present, include Pan Yueming who plays "Guan Zai" and Hu Ke who plays "Sister Ling", the agent of "Qiao Jingjing".

It’s just that both of them will join the group after some time.

Pan Yueming is still in the crew of "Day and Night Chase". He will take time out to come and complete the filming of "You Are My Glory".

Wang Yanlin, Jiang Peiyao, and Tian Xiwei were either relatively unknown or newcomers, so they joined the crew as soon as filming started and began shooting with the crew.

To be honest, for the drama "You Are My Glory", everyone, from the "Wei Ming Tian Xia" company to director Lin Yufen and other actors, attaches great importance to this project.

Because it was a TV series starring Gu Wei, everyone thought it would be a big hit, so they treated the show with extra seriousness.

But the male lead Gu Wei actually didn't take it too seriously. It's not that he didn't care, but this kind of idol drama is too easy for him to shoot nowadays. He only needs to memorize the lines a day in advance. With his acting skills, it is basically easy and enjoyable for him to grasp the role.

Because it was simple, he put less energy into it, so he flew over to join the crew the day before the filming started.

Today he invited everyone to have dinner together, and he was the only boss there. He wanted to win over the hearts of the people before the project started so that everyone could work happily later.
