Hollywood's Whimsical Life

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...

490. Chapter 487 Which one do you want to choose?

Chapter 487 Which one do you want to choose?

Compared with the fragmented story and rough narrative techniques of his debut work "See You Tomorrow", Han Han has made obvious progress in "The Breakup Guru".

He used humorous camera language to tell a complete story.

Since the film was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the festive atmosphere had to be created and the whole story was connected by funny jokes.

If it were just a collection of jokes, the film might just be a higher-level skit.

But "Sisters Who Make Waves" is not like that. Its jokes are very modern, but the emotions are very nostalgic.

The places with jokes make people laugh, and the places without jokes make people moved.

Accompanied by the hit songs of the past, everything that happened twenty years ago is still vivid in my mind.

Han Han's use of music and old songs adds a lot of romanticism to "Sisters Who Make Waves", and his approach is very consistent with the nostalgic mood.

The film rarely captures a feeling: after a big shot achieves success, he looks back on his youth and often feels that he was so immature that he can't believe that such a little brat who only knew how to drink and chat with his friends under the street lights could become a tycoon in the future and live such an ups and downs life.

Buried beneath all the jokes is the love between brotherhood and fatherhood, questioning the father, understanding the father, and becoming a father.

Han Han is an artistic person after all. No matter how funny his movies are in the middle, the ending will definitely not be a perfect one.

He is actually very similar to Guo Xiaosi. Although the two people's works are very different, if you study them carefully, you will find that all their works are actually full of very strong personal colors.

Guo Xiaosi is aesthetic, flashy and melodramatic, while Han Han is literary and artistic with a sense of the times, racing and pain.

The premiere ended with the film screening, and when the ending theme song sounded, the audience burst into warm applause.

At the post-screening meeting, the celebrities present gave high praise to the film.

Zhang Ziyi, Huo Siyan, Jia Nailiang and Li Xiaolu, director Zhang Yibai and others all praised director Han Han's film for being both funny and touching, and for showing a lot of sincere emotions amidst the joy and bustle.

Although Gu Wei is low-key, a big shot like him cannot escape the media's questions when he arrives.

"From 'See You Tomorrow' to 'Breaking the Waves,' we can clearly see the growth of director Han Han.

After watching this movie, I actually thought of the four people from Journey to the West.

The magical journey of four young people from a small town to obtain Buddhist scriptures is also "a farewell".

Some people grow from long-haired cowboys to manic middle-aged people, some people go from being misfits and trapped to boarding trains to change the world, some people heroically go to heaven with two swords on their shoulders, and some people travel through time to reconcile with their fathers and meet their mothers.

The most satisfying thing is not achieving the desired result, but overcoming the wind and waves along the way.

We will never meet again after walking side by side, and our friendship will last forever despite the wind and waves.

Of course, the performances of actors such as Chao Ge, Li Ying, and Eddie Peng were also very good."

Gu Wei spoke to the media about his true thoughts after watching the movie. He didn't say much about Han Han, but he felt that "The Breakup Guru" was a good movie overall.

However, it seemed that after he finished speaking, Han Han was particularly enthusiastic towards him, as if he treated him as a close friend. Before leaving, he kept inviting Gu Wei to have dinner together.

Having already rejected Zhao Liying, he naturally couldn't agree to Han Han's request again. He could only deal with it by saying that they could go together next time.

The premiere of "Sisters Who Make Waves" started in the afternoon and ended in the evening.

After Gu Wei returned home, he had dinner with his parents.

They currently live in a luxury house that Gu Wei bought at the end of 2016.

The location is in Dongcheng District of Beijing, in the heart of Dongzhimen on the northeast second ring road, and is called [Embassy No. 1 Courtyard].

The community was designed by Liang Jinghua, the designer appointed by Li Ka-shing. It has a luxurious 9,000 square meters of double garden landscape and up to 40% green space.

To the north is the MOMA, and to the east is the embassy district.

Commercial centers such as Ginza MALL (Dongzhimen store), Donghuan Plaza, and Sanlitun Taikoo Li are also nearby.

Within a radius of 1 km there are Liangmahe Park, Nanguan Park, Zuojiazhuang Science and Technology and Integrity Culture Park, etc.

It is the top high-end community within the Second Ring Road.

Gu Wei's apartment has 5 bedrooms and 2 living rooms, with a total area of ​​more than 300 square meters, and the full price is more than 50 million yuan.

He arranged for his parents to live here mainly because it was convenient. It was only about 7 kilometers from Beijing Radio and Television Station to [Embassy No. 1 Courtyard], and less than 20 minutes' drive.

Gu Wei's parents, who already had a rough idea of ​​his wealth, no longer worried about how many houses he should buy. They just lived wherever Gu Wei said he would.

Moreover, the reason he came to Beijing for the Spring Festival this year was simply because Gu Wei hadn't been home for the Spring Festival for two consecutive years, and the family wanted to reunite during the Spring Festival.

Gu Wei's parents will not move to Beijing. They have relatives, friends and their own circles in their hometown. His family's original conditions were very good and they had no worries about food and drink. For people of their age, the people around them are important.

"Of the two girls who worked with me and your dad last month, which one is your girlfriend?"

Mom picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork she made for Gu Wei and looked at him and asked.

"Forehead

Mom, who told you that?"

"Who else do you need to listen to? You let them come to our charity fund, so they must have a serious relationship with you!

Those two little girls are both very pretty.

Nazha is the same age as you, about the same age, and you are classmates.

Liu Yifei is famous, beautiful, and has a good personality, but she's a little older than you. But if you like her, your father and I agree."

Gu Wei felt helpless.

"mom

Could you please stop matching people up randomly?

Please don't interfere in my emotional affairs, okay?

Besides, I’m so popular now, and I have so many female fans, it’s not convenient for me to have a relationship, and I have to take care of the fans’ feelings.”

"I'm your mother, if I don't take care of you, who will?

You're a big star now, and you've made so much money, so as a mother, can't you take care of things?"

When Mrs. Gu saw her son's attitude, she immediately raised her voice.

"Okay, okay, you can manage it, you can manage it, isn't that okay?"

“That’s more like it.”

"Gu Wei is already so old, he has his own ideas, so we should not interfere too much."

Gu Wei's father tried to smooth things over.

"I'm not interfering with him. I also understand that it's difficult for him to fall in love as a celebrity. Didn't Liu Dehua also keep his marriage secret for so many years and didn't dare let his fans know?

The key is that even if you don’t find a girlfriend now, you will have to find one sooner or later, and getting married and having children is just a matter of time.”

"Mom~

It’s not that I didn’t tell you, but I’ve been busy with my career these years and haven’t made any progress in my love life.

But I promise you, if I find a girlfriend in the future, I will definitely bring her home to show you."

“Hey~

Our family doesn't have to worry about money anymore, so I just hope you don't end up getting married and having kids in your 40s like many celebrities do. I also want to have grandchildren soon."

The day after attending the premiere of "Sisters Who Make Waves", Gu Wei went to CCTV for the final rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala.

For him, this year is his third year on the Spring Festival Gala, and he is completely familiar with it. Even facing the national audience on this stage does not make Gu Wei nervous at all, and everything is performed perfectly.

"Sister Li, are you going back to your hometown this year?"

At Zeng Li's home, Gu Wei was wearing a comfortable and well-fitting pajamas, leaning on the sofa, changing channels with the remote control.

After coming out of the CCTV building, he and Zeng Li returned here one after another.

Zeng Li also has a performance in this year's Spring Festival Gala. This is her second time on the Spring Festival Gala stage since she collaborated with Gu Wei to sing "Chi Ling" in 2015.

Her program this time has nothing to do with Gu Wei. Because of the popularity of "Ode to Joy" in the past two years, she was invited by the Spring Festival Gala director team to participate in the opening song and dance, and sang a song "Beautiful China Year" with Jiang Xin, Wang Ziwen, Qiao Xin, Yang Zi and TFBOYS.

"Yes, I booked a flight for the next day. Even though I won't be able to make it to New Year's Eve, it would still be nice to be home on the first day of the new year."

Zeng Li was wearing a light yellow pajamas, which looked like a couple's style with Gu Wei's. She sat next to Gu Wei with a plate of washed crystal grapes.

Gu Wei took her in his arms.

"Unfortunately, I can't be with you this year. My parents are in Beijing, and I have to go home after the Spring Festival Gala performance."

Zeng Li's hair was tied up high, revealing her snow-white and slender neck.

After returning home, she had taken off her makeup and her skin looked white and translucent. She picked up a grape and put it in Gu Wei's mouth without any regretful expression.

"You haven't been home for Spring Festival for two consecutive years, so it's only natural for your parents to come over.

You are so busy all year round, and you finally have the chance to spend more time with them."

"But Sister Li, you..."

Zeng Li smiled.

"I've been able to go home every year in the past. This year, I'll only be away for one day. After the performance, I'll just go back and sleep early."

Gu Wei held the other person's hand tightly, buried his head in Zeng Li's snow-white neck, took a few deep breaths, and reached his hand in through the gap in her clothes.

"Don't do that, it makes me itch."

Zeng Li chuckled.

"Sister Li, the drama 'In the Name of the People' that you filmed last year is about to be aired~"

"Really? I haven't received any notification yet. Which TV station is it from?"

Zeng Li's fair skin turned slightly red, but she had no intention of stopping Gu Wei.

"Mango TV has bought the first broadcast rights and is scheduled to air in March this year."

[In the Name of People] is not controlled by [Wei Ming Tian Xia], but Gu Wei is the largest investor, and he knows the copyright sales situation of the TV series after it is completed.

Not only were the local satellite TV's first broadcast rights bought by Mango TV, but the exclusive online broadcast rights were also successfully sold to Youku Video.

Not only did Gu Wei recover his costs, he also made a huge profit.

"[In the Name of the People] is a really good drama, but it's a bit too explicit. I wonder what the effect will be after it airs."

Zeng Li was able to star in "In the Name of People" thanks to Gu Wei's relationship. After she got the script, she found that it was a particularly bold play. After joining the crew, she was even more grateful that she had the opportunity to shoot such an excellent TV series.

However, all the actors who participated in "In the Name of People" have a common concern, that is, whether the TV series they worked so hard to shoot can finally be broadcast normally.

"Don't worry, I've seen the finished film of In the Name of People. This drama will definitely be a big hit. Its popularity and popularity will even surpass your previous drama Ode to Joy.

In terms of influence, I'm afraid no other TV series this year can compare to it.

By then, Sister Li, your role as the beautiful female boss "Gao Xiaoqin" will attract a lot of fans again."

Zeng Li felt a little limp from Gu Wei's restless hands.

"I don't care whether it attracts fans or not, I just hope the TV series can really achieve the results you said."

"Don't worry, I've never made a mistake before."
