Chapter 171 What do you think of him?

In a high-end business cafe in Beijing, Gu Wei was drinking coffee while browsing his phone.

This is a small private room on the second floor. Leaning against the window, looking down from Gu Wei's angle, he can see a constant stream of vehicles on the road and pedestrians on the roadside looking hurried.

Although it is only early autumn, the leaves on the big trees outside the window are gradually turning yellow.

After taking two sips, he put the caramel latte in his hand on the table.

Although it was expensive, Gu Wei felt that it was not as delicious as the one made by his assistant.

After a while, the door was pushed open and a tall girl wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans and a black baseball cap walked in.

She wore a pair of black sunglasses and a pink mask with cartoon patterns on her face. This outfit covered her up so tightly that no one could recognize her.

"Sorry, I'm late. There was a traffic jam."

As soon as the visitor entered the room, he hurriedly apologized to Gu Wei.

"The time is good, I just arrived not long ago."

The girl closed the door and sat down on the sofa opposite Gu Wei.

She first took off the mask and sunglasses, revealing the fair and transparent skin underneath. There was a slight hump in the middle of her high nose bridge, a pair of big watery eyes, slightly upturned lips, and an extremely charming smile.

It can be seen that the girl only has a little makeup on her face, but the moment she takes off her mask and sunglasses, the whole small box seems to brighten up. It is simple and elegant, yet surprisingly gorgeous, like a mountain snow lotus, so beautiful that it is out of reach.

She took off her hat and shook her head slightly, letting her shiny black hair fall down like the model in a shampoo commercial.

Seeing this scene up close, even Gu Wei, who had seen many beautiful women, was stunned for two seconds.

Then he reacted and pointed at the table in front of the other person.

"Sister Yifei, I ordered some coffee for you. Do you think it suits your taste?"

Liu Yifei tidied herself up, looked at Gu Wei with a smile, picked up the coffee cup in front of her and took a sip.

"American? How do you know this is my favorite flavor?"

"I saw some pictures of you reading books on your Moments, and there was always a cup of American coffee next to you, so I took note."

"Gu Wei, you're thoughtful."

Liu Yifei said to Gu Wei with a smile on her face.

The fact that friends could show such consideration for each other showed that Gu Wei valued her, which made her very happy.

He took another sip from his coffee cup.

"Actually, I used to just drink coffee while studying. Female celebrities, as you know, all have weight concerns, so I always choose American coffee because it won't make me fat.

After a while, I got used to it and gradually came to like the taste.”

"Actually, Sister Yifei, your figure is perfect. There's no need to pursue being too thin. Nowadays, most female celebrities in the industry are a bit too thin."

Although Liu Yifei appears a little fat in some media photos, Gu Wei, who often sees her in person, knows that she has a really good figure. She is the type that would look fat if she gained a little and look thin if she lost a little, and she is well-proportioned and healthy.

“It’s not as good as you say.

I used to shoot martial arts and action scenes frequently, and I exercised a lot every day, so I didn’t have to worry about gaining weight even if I ate a lot.

But if I'm filming a movie without action scenes, I have to pay special attention to my diet, otherwise I will easily gain weight."

Today, it was Liu Yifei who took the initiative to make an appointment with Gu Wei. Due to work, they didn't have many opportunities to meet each other, and they only chatted occasionally on WeChat.

It just so happened that Gu Wei had finished filming a movie and returned to Beijing a few days ago. Liu Yifei was also at home at the time and was not out filming. The two of them had time to chat on WeChat, so Liu Yifei took the initiative to ask Gu Wei out for a cup of coffee.

The two haven't seen each other for more than half a year, so it's a good opportunity for them to meet and chat.

“Sister Yifei, congratulations on your new movie being a big hit at the box office.

Unfortunately, I was filming at the time and couldn't make it to the premiere."

Last month, "The Four" was released, and as expected, the box office quickly exceeded 100 million. At that time, Liu Yifei also invited Gu Wei to attend the premiere. Unfortunately, Gu Wei was filming for "The Left Ear" at that time, and he had just returned from leave a few days ago, so it was not convenient for him to ask for leave again.

"This is also the last film of The Four, and the box office is just average, considering the investment is not small.

It’s definitely recovered, but it’s still far from being a box office hit.”

Liu Yifei didn't seem very happy about Gu Wei's congratulations. To be honest, she didn't quite understand the current domestic film market.

She has been in the industry for so many years, and in her impression, if a movie wants to get high box office, it needs a big director, big stars, and a big production.

Just like "Hero", "House of Flying Daggers" and "Curse of the Golden Flower" directed by Zhang Yimou, this kind of movie is also a guarantee of high box office success.

The same is true for her film selection ideas in recent years. "A Chinese Ghost Story", "The Legend of the Hongmen Banquet" and "The Palace of the Bronze Bird" are all large-scale costume productions shot by famous Hong Kong directors, and the actors she collaborated with are all big stars such as Louis Koo, Lai Ming and Chow Yun-fat.

However, the box office just couldn't go up, some even lost money, and the film ratings were also very low.

This situation left her puzzled.

Fortunately, the three "Four Great Constables" films she recently took on had a combined box office of more than 500 million yuan. Although it was not a big profit, the production company still made a stable return on investment, and the reputation of the film was also good, which made her feel quite comforted.

She also looked at the box office rankings of domestic films this year. Films such as "Tiny Times" and "See You Tomorrow" that were made by writers who crossed over to become directors had high box office results.

Deng Chao, who worked with her on a film, directed and starred in a comedy film that directly earned more than 600 million yuan at the box office, which is higher than the three "Four" films combined.

Is it true that the era of costume blockbusters is over, and youth romance films and comedies are now more popular with audiences?

"I heard that the movie you recently filmed was a campus youth film?"

Thinking of this, Liu Yifei suddenly looked up and asked Gu Wei.

"Yes, the movie is called 'The Left Ear', and it's based on a youth novel of the same name."

"I looked up information online and the director is Alec Su, who's making his first film. Aren't you worried at all?"

Liu Yifei was a little curious. She felt that Gu Wei had made some achievements in the film industry and he had even been a director. She could understand if he joined a movie directed by a big director, but how could the quality of a youth film directed by a newcomer be guaranteed? Wasn't he afraid that the film he made would be a bad one?

Gu Wei smiled when he heard that.

"What's so great about new directors, Sister Yifei, haven't you noticed that many of the movies that have achieved good box office results in the past two years were made by new directors?

I also think the script and story of this movie are pretty good, and the box office might surprise everyone after it’s released. After all, there’s the example of Zhao Wei’s previous film, “So Young,” which proved that youth films can also have high box office performances.”

After hearing what Gu Wei said, Liu Yifei nodded thoughtfully and said nothing more. It seems that she will have to pay attention to some youth romance films in the future.

“By the way, congratulations on your recent TV series being a huge hit!

When I was filming on the set, I could hear people discussing your TV series.

I go online and see all the news about you."

"Haha~ My work is nothing compared to your two Jin Yong dramas back then.

Now that the internet is so developed, people are discussing it more online, which makes the TV series seem more popular.”

Gu Wei smiled and said modestly.

"Um, let me ask you something. Are you and Yang Mi really boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Liu Yifei hesitated, but couldn't suppress her curiosity.

Gu Wei felt helpless.

"That's for the TV series promotion. My sister and I are just good friends."

"oh"

Liu Yifei's expression seemed a little disappointed. In her free time, she also watched "Gu Jian Qi Tan" and was a little crazy about the CP between the male and female protagonists.

The two of them chatted while drinking coffee and had a very pleasant chat.

Liu Yifei shared with Gu Wei some of her reading experiences and recommended to him a book she was reading recently, "Meeting the Unknown Self".

According to her, it is a classic book and worth reading.

Of course Gu Wei agreed readily.

At her home in Beijing, Liu Yifei had just returned. She was humming a little tune while changing her shoes, and she seemed to be in a very good mood.

After entering the door, he threw the small bag he was carrying aside, sat on the sofa, picked up the fruit on the coffee table in front of him and started eating.

"If you don't wash your hands first when you come back, they're full of germs."

Liu Xiaoli said as she came out of the house after hearing the noise.

"Mom, I ate the watermelon with a fork, not with my hands."

Liu Yifei replied indifferently.

"How was it? Did you have a good chat with Gu Wei?"

"It's okay, we get along pretty well~"

Taking out the remote control and turning on the TV, Liu Yifei answered absentmindedly.

Liu Xiaoli knew that her daughter went out to meet Gu Wei. In fact, she supported Liu Yifei to have more contact with Gu Wei.

Ever since she met Gu Wei during the filming of "The Blade of the Assassin", this young man in her eyes has refreshed her perception time and time again.

At the beginning, Gu Wei was completely unknown, but he played the leading role in his first movie.

She just thought that this was some rich kid who spent money to enter the entertainment industry for fame.

Later, in just less than a year, "The Sword Identity" was released and became a box office success, and Gu Wei became a well-known actor.

At this time, he should have taken a steady approach, starred in more movies, and slowly expanded his popularity.

As a result, Gu Wei boldly became a director and directed and starred in a movie.

At that time, no one was optimistic about this movie, including Liu Xiaoli. She just thought that the rich second generation did not take money seriously and did everything according to their own temperament.

As a result, the release of "Detective Chinatown" slapped everyone in the face, and it was a great success in both box office and reputation. According to Liu Xiaoli's estimation, the profit brought to Gu Wei by this movie was counted in "billions".

From then on, she began to pay attention to Gu Wei. It happened that Liu Yifei was also a good friend of him, so it would be no problem for her to get to know him better.

Liu Xiaoli has been her daughter's agent for many years and has her own connections and resources in the circle.

The dramas Gu Wei has filmed over the years, the companies he has established, and the film and television works he has invested in are basically not kept secret, and they can be easily found if you are interested.

Liu Xiaoli discovered that in just over three years, Gu Wei had already made considerable achievements in the entertainment industry. Not only had he become the most popular young male star, but almost all the film and television productions that his company had controlled or participated in were hits.

The success is unbelievable.

"Yifei, do you think Gu Wei is quite an outstanding guy?"

"Yes, otherwise he wouldn't be as famous as he is now."

Liu Yifei said nonchalantly while clicking the remote control.

"So do you think he has any feelings for you?"

Hearing this, Liu Yifei turned around and looked at her mother in surprise.

"Mom, what do you mean?"

"Mom thinks you've finally found someone who has good conditions in all aspects, and you can talk to him. If there are no other problems, you can consider taking it a step further."

Liu Xiaoli looked into her daughter's eyes and spoke slowly.

"Mom~~

Please stop imagining things, we are just ordinary friends, and he is 5 years younger than me!"

"What's the big deal about being five years younger? My daughter is so beautiful, there are plenty of men willing to marry her even if she's ten years younger than her, let alone five."

Liu Xiaoli said disapprovingly.

She really had this idea in her mind.

Liu Yifei was born in 1987 and is 27 years old this year.

She entered the entertainment industry at a very young age. At that time, she was afraid that her daughter would be cheated, so she accompanied her throughout the whole process, whether she was filming or in daily life.

This resulted in Liu Yifei not even having a relationship for more than 20 years.

It’s not that no one is pursuing my daughter. On the contrary, there has been a constant stream of people pursuing Liu Yifei over the years.

However, she doesn't like those with worse conditions, and she may not be able to chat with those with better conditions.

In addition, Liu Yifei is a bit of a homebody. She likes to read books and raise cats at home and doesn't go out. Her social circle is limited to people she met while filming, so she has no chance to fall in love.

Which female celebrity in the circle who is of the same age as her has not had a few love experiences?

Liu Xiaoli is not in a hurry to marry her daughter off now, but she feels that her daughter is not young anymore and will be 30 in a few years.

If you meet someone who is suitable for you in all aspects, you should have a sweet relationship. Even if you can't be together in the end, your life will not be incomplete.

"Mom, we are really just ordinary friends now, and I don't think Gu Wei has any intention in this regard.

Besides, he is at the peak of his popularity right now, so it is impossible for him to have a romantic relationship."

Liu Yifei spoke very sincerely. Although she had a good chat with Gu Wei and they felt very happy when they were together, from her point of view, she really didn't feel that Gu Wei had any thoughts about her.

Of course, it may also be because of this reason that she gets along so well with Gu Wei.

"I see~"

Liu Xiaoli still couldn't believe it. Her daughter was so beautiful, how could that boy Gu Wei not be tempted?

"Have you asked him when the sequel to Detective Chinatown will be filmed?

Also, will you have a role in the sequel to "The Sword of Assassin"? "

Liu Yifei was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect her mother to change the subject so drastically. She was just concerned about their relationship, but now she was considering work.

“I didn’t ask about that. Director Lu Yang should be the one making the decision on [Embroidered Spring Blade].

[Tang Tan] Although I didn't ask, Gu Wei talked to me about his recent work arrangements, and it seems he has no intention of preparing.

"Gu Wei's company has produced several hit TV series and movies in recent years, either as a main investor or a co-investor.

Since you have a good relationship, why not ask him during the chat? Maybe he has some resources that are suitable for you."

No matter what, Liu Xiaoli has always been concerned about her daughter's career.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei patted her smooth forehead and said helplessly.

"Mom, I know, you've told me this more than once.

Next time we meet, I will definitely ask him for a role."
