Chapter 577: Overt and covert fighting

“.

Whenever I raise my head for you

Even tears feel free

Some love is like heavy rain

But I still believe in rainbows!"

After finishing a song, Gu Wei stood up from the piano, turned around and bowed to the audience.

Then thunderous cheers and applause broke out in the quiet Olympic Sports Center.

There are not only more than a hundred stars in the venue today, but also 3,000 fans and spectators. These people are screaming and shouting, and each one of them is extremely excited.

Many people held up light signs with Gu Wei's name on them, waving them back and forth in the dark night. The lights connected into one, and when viewed from the stage, it looked like a sea of ​​red.

The stars in the audience did not hesitate to applaud. Gu Wei's performance was really wonderful, especially in the eyes of the female stars. He was so handsome playing the piano.

"So handsome! Isn't he the real-life Prince Charming? And he's so talented!" Baby stared at the stage with shining eyes, a smile on her face, and clapped her hands continuously.

"If Xiaoming heard what you said, he would be jealous." Nini next to her had the same expression and actions. When she heard Baby mumbling to herself, she laughed and joked.

After they sang "The Moon Represents My Heart" together, Baby sat down at her table with Nini.

Two beauties sat together, Nini in a golden halter dress and baby in a silver halter dress, they looked like a pair of stunning sisters, particularly eye-catching.

"Brother Xiaoming doesn't care. He even told me to try my best to have a good relationship with Gu Wei," Baby said indifferently.

After all, Huang Xiaoming was not around, so she could say whatever she wanted. Besides, she did not lie, and Brother Xiaoming did say such things to her.

Nini glanced at Huang Xiaoming, who was sitting far away from their two tables, with a strange look on her face and found that he was talking to Li Bingbing.

"Xiaoming is really generous."

"Didn't you work with Gu Wei on a movie at the beginning of the year? How was it?" Baby turned her attention to Nini.

"It's good. Gu Wei is a very good actor. It feels very comfortable to work with him. I believe the movie will be very good after it is released." Ni Ni's mouth curled up slightly. Baby's words reminded her of the happy days of filming the movie.

"It's a pity that I transferred my agency contract from Huayi a few years ago, otherwise I might have had a chance in your film."

Things have passed, and Baby doesn't care about saying such things in front of the heroine, Nini.

She signed with Huayi in 2012, and the company provided her with a lot of film resources.

[Tai Chi 1 & 2], [Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame], [Once Upon a Time in China and America: Heroes Have Dreams], and the romantic comedy with two female leads, [Bride Wars], where I met Ni Ni.

It can be said that Huayi is very kind to Baby. This is because of Huang Xiaoming's face. At the same time, Huayi also wants to promote her as the new face of the company's female stars.

Unfortunately, baby’s acting skills are really bad. She has a lot of resources but she can only make herself a familiar face and has not made any significant progress.

Later, she became famous because of the unexpectedly popular national variety show "Running Man".

But in 2015, Angelababy transferred her agency contract to Taiyang Chuanhe, and Chen He, who was originally from Huayi, also went there at the same time as her.

After her agency contract was no longer with Huayi, although Angelababy's relationship with Huayi was still good, she was no longer one of their real friends, so some resources naturally did not reach her.

"I heard that Huayi was planning to promote its own newcomers at first, but Gu Wei recommended you, so Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang and Director Tian decided to use you." Baby thought of something, rolled her eyes and whispered in Nini's ear.

"Yeah?

I'm not really sure about this.

I also received an invitation from the crew, and I was very happy to know that I could work with Gu Wei." Ni Ni pretended to be stupid.

"According to what you said, I should thank him for this."

"Didn't anyone tell you?

Gu Wei himself didn't tell you?" Baby looked at her suspiciously.

Nini shook her head innocently.

No one who can make it in the entertainment industry is a fool. How could Ni Ni tell others about such things, even if Baby is her good friend on the surface.

"Speaking of which, Gu Wei and I met at your wedding. We had no previous contact.

Maybe I made a good impression on him that time, and not long after that I received an invitation to star in Ex 3."

"You are so lucky." Baby looked at Nini with some envy, not knowing whether she really believed what she said.

"With this opportunity to interact with you, you can build a better relationship with Gu Wei. I heard that he is a very nostalgic person and is very caring towards his friends.

His good friends from college, Zhang Yishan, Li Xian, and Yang Zi, have all been given a lot of resources by him over the years.

And "Mijie," because I knew her early on and we've always had a good relationship, she was able to star in "The Assassin 2" and "Eternal Love," and she's so popular now! "After all, they're good friends, and Angelababy offered what she believes is a very sound opinion from her bestie's perspective.

"Of course I will use connections. The relationship is already so close that it can't be any closer." Nini's expression remained unchanged while she complained in her heart.

Her heart moved when she heard Baby talking about Yang Mi.

"Are Gu Wei and Sister Mi particularly close?"

"That's about right. The first time I met Gu Wei was when Brother Xiaoming invited him to dinner, and Sister Mi was there.

At that time, the popularity of [Gu Jian Qi Tan] was very high, and it seemed that the two of them were very good friends."

Having said that, Baby looked around and lowered her voice even more.

"You should know Sister Mi's personality well. She hangs out with whoever's popular. In recent years, there's been no star more popular than Gu Wei in the industry. It's no surprise that they've been good friends for so many years."

Baby and Yang Mi have always been good friends, but most of the people in the entertainment industry are just fake girlfriends, so it is normal for them to say some gossip behind each other's backs.

After listening to Baby's words, Nini turned her head slightly to look at Da Mimi from the Tiny Times sister group not far away, and nodded thoughtfully.

"Thank you Gu Wei for bringing us such wonderful music. Please stay." After the performance, the host Hua Shao walked over from the side of the stage.

"You may not know this, but today, in addition to performing a live show to support charity, Gu Wei also brought one of his own items for auction!"

At this time, a staff member had brought up an exquisite small black box.

Gu Wei took it and opened it directly.

Inside was a metal watch with a rose gold body and a dark green gradient dial, which reflected a dazzling light under the stage lights.

"It's a very beautiful watch. Has this been used by you before?" Hua Shao, the assistant photographer, asked while holding the watch box with Gu Wei.

"I bought this watch in 2013 when I was filming Detective Chinatown 1. It's a Patek Philippe Sport Elegance 5711. I haven't worn it much, but even after four years, it still looks like new."

As Gu Wei spoke, a photo of the watch appeared on the big screen at the scene.

"Nautilus!" Huang Xiaoming recognized it immediately when he saw the picture.

"Parrot what?" Li Bingbing was puzzled.

"Nautilus refers to the name of a Patek Philippe watch. The green-dial steel model seems to have been discontinued. It seems Gu Wei invested a lot today!"

“Is this watch expensive?”

"The new models in the same series are priced at about 470,000 RMB." Huang Xiaoming himself likes famous watches, and as the spokesperson for Tissot, he has also done some research on these top-level watches.

"That's really not cheap." Li Bingbing nodded.

What Feng Xiaogang did before was purely his friend trying to flatter him. In fact, his paintings might not even be worth tens of thousands of dollars. This time, Gu Wei actually took out something truly valuable.

"This watch of his is probably worth two or three hundred thousand now, right?"

"Two hundred thousand or three hundred thousand?" Huang Xiaoming shook his head with a smile.

"Sister Bingbing, you can't look at top-notch watches as consumer goods; they're actually more like works of art.

As far as I know, this watch by Gu Wei can be sold for more than 1 million RMB in the secondary market."

“So expensive!

How come a used one is so much more expensive than a new one? " Li Bingbing was a little surprised.

“Not to mention that this model has been discontinued, even if you want to buy the new models in this series, you have to wait in line for at least three or four years.

The secondary market price I mentioned is not a random quote, it has a transaction record."

As the two chatted, Hua Shao on the stage announced the official start of the auction after a series of introductions, with a starting price of only 100,000.

"200,000!" Huang Xiaoming raised the sign directly.

"250,000!" As soon as he finished speaking, Deng Chao's voice rang out.

Obviously, many people at the scene knew the actual value of this watch, especially some male celebrities.

"300,000!" Zhang Ruoyun raised the sign.

"Do you want this watch too?" Tang Yixin beside him asked curiously.

"Even though I think I might not be able to get it, I'll give it a try. As long as I can get it for under 1 million, it will definitely be worth it."

"This watch is so expensive!" Tang Yixin obviously didn't expect that a watch could be worth a million.

"It's not that expensive. When we were recording a program at the beginning of the year, the one Gu Wei wore on his hand was much more expensive than this, costing several hundred. This one is only over 100 yuan at most." Zhang Ruoyun explained.

In just a few words, the bid for this Patek Philippe Nautilus rose rapidly to 800,000.

There were many people bidding in the venue, especially male celebrities and some corporate CEOs.

Obviously, everyone knows the true value of this watch.

Zhang Ruoyun was about to raise her sign when her deskmate Zhao Liying spoke first.

“900,000!”

“Huh?

"Sister Liying, are you also interested in this men's watch?" Tang Yixin turned around and asked curiously.

"Didn't your Zhang Ruoyun say that we won't lose anything below 1 million? I heard that," Zhao Liying said with a smile.

"One million!" As soon as Zhao Liying's voice fell, a female voice with a nasal tone sounded, and Yang Mi raised the sign without hesitation.

Zhao Liying frowned slightly and looked over, just as Yang Mi put down the sign and looked over.

The two top actresses, who are also known as the "Queen of TV Dramas", just looked at each other.

"Mi Mi, one million! Is this watch worth so much money?" Xie Yilin was surprised by Yang Mi's sudden bidding. In her opinion, it was not worth it to spend one million to buy a men's watch that they could not use.

"It doesn't matter, it's only 1 million," Yang Mi said lightly, as if it was not 1 million but 100 yuan.

"Actually, this Nautilus watch is not expensive at 1 million. If you find one you like, you can sell it for 1.1 million or even 1.2 million." Among the four people, only Amber Kuo has some knowledge of watches, and she probably knows the true value of this watch.

"It's so expensive, no wonder so many people are bidding!" Xie Yilin suddenly realized.

Guo Biting, who had been sitting quietly, was also eager to try, but looking at Yang Mi beside her, she suppressed her eager heart.

"1.1 million!" Zhao Liying raised the price again.

"1.2 million!" Yang Mi did not hesitate.

After the bid exceeds 1 million, few people will bid again because it is already more than the value of the watch itself.

"1.5 million!" Fan Bingbing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shouted the price.

"Bingbing, you?" The boyfriend next to her looked puzzled.

"Didn't you say that this watch is worth at least 1 million? It's not a loss to spend an extra 500,000 to befriend Gu Wei." Fan Bingbing smiled gently.

Her sudden words disrupted the competition between Yang Mi and Zhao Liying. The two people who had just been a little angry with each other did not raise their cards for a while.

The entire charity gala was broadcast live. It was not good for the two people to be seen shouting in anger, so the appearance of Fan Bingbing gave them a way out.

"Bingbing offers 1.5 million. Is there any higher offer? If not, this Patek Philippe men's watch will belong to Bingbing." Hua Shao shouted on the stage like a real auctioneer.

No one spoke around, and Fan Bingbing smiled, thinking that the item was already in his pocket.

"Two million!" Suddenly a clear female voice sounded.

Fan Bingbing frowned and looked over. Behind her, Jing Tian, ​​with short hair and a black and white dress, was sitting quietly, looking peaceful and beautiful.

Fan Bingbing wanted to continue bidding, but when she turned around and looked at her boyfriend beside her, she gave up the idea.

"Ms. Jingtian offered 2 million. It's 2 million now. Is there any higher offer?" Young Master Hua looked excited.

“Okay, I declare that the new owner of this watch is Ms. Jingtian!

Thank you Jingtian, thank you Gu Wei, for your contribution to charity, thank you!"

Jingtian went on stage and took a photo with Gu Wei holding the auction items, and then the two of them went down from the side of the stage.

"Tiantian, you spent an extra 1 million. The real price of my watch is just over 1 million."

"It's charity, it doesn't matter. It's just like each of us donating 1 million, which is just right." Da Tiantian shrugged slightly and showed a sweet smile.

"Why did you think of cutting your hair short?" Gu Wei also saw Jing Tian when he first arrived, but the two were quite far away from each other, so they just greeted each other and didn't have a chance to chat.

"I took on a TV series adapted from a comic book, and I cut my hair short because of the plot.

How about it, not ugly, right? "Da Tiantian looked at Gu Wei with a pair of bright eyes, waiting for his evaluation with some trepidation.

"Of course it's not ugly, after all, our beautiful Tiantian has a good foundation and can handle any hairstyle.

Short hair makes you look more fresh and capable, with a sunny and lovely look." Gu Wei blinked and praised with a smile.

After he said that, Jingtian felt a little embarrassed.

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. This is my first time trying it, so I hope it doesn't look ugly.

When do you have time to have a meal together?"

Gu Wei touched his chin.

"When will you join the group?"

"Next month~"

"I have more than a week to wrap up the filming, and then I will go back to Beijing for a few days. I'll call you then?" Da Tiantian spent 2 million to buy his watch. Although the money was donated in the end, Gu Wei still had to accept this favor.

"Then it's settled!" After getting Gu Wei's promise, Jing Tian smiled like a jasmine flower, cute and pure.

The show was over, and the items offered for auction were sold. Gu Wei basically had nothing to do at the charity night today.

More than 3 hours later, the 2017 Bazaar Charity Night came to an end.

In the second half of the celebrity charity donation, Gu Wei casually donated two ambulance fleets worth 1.4 million.

Gu Wei has his own charitable fund and does not need to donate to Bazaar to do charity, but since he is here, he does not want to be accused of being a freeloader.

Two fleets are not too many, but not too few either. On today's charity night, the person who donated the most was Guo Degang, who donated four fleets, totaling 2.8 million yuan.

The rest were the couple Gu Wei, Zhang Ruoyun and Tang Yixin, and the couple Jia Nailiang and Li Xiaolu, all in two separate teams.

The remaining Huang Xiaoming and his wife, Tong Dawei and his wife, Deng Chao, Zhao Liying, Zeng Li, Yang Mi and others were all in the same convoy.

Of course, more stars are stingy.

To be fair, not donating to Bazaar doesn't mean anything. Maybe there are many stars like Gu Wei who have other channels to do charity.

When celebrities appear at the Bazaar Charity Night, they are more likely to convey to the public a positive attitude that they are passionate about charity.

However, this year's Bazaar Charity Gala will be broadcast live, which means that all the celebrities' donations will be seen by netizens. Keyboard warriors don't care whether you have done charity work elsewhere or not. If you come here to eat, drink and walk the red carpet for free and don't give a penny, they will not show mercy.

After walking out of the Olympic Sports Center, Gu Wei's mobile phone kept receiving various messages.

He opened WeChat with a wry smile and rejected them one by one.

The reason was simple: he was taking the evening flight back to the crew, so he didn't care whether he believed it or not.

"Where's the boss going?"

"Go back to Runze Manor," Gu Wei said after thinking for a while.

He was just looking for an excuse and didn't really want to leave so late at night. The villa was far away from the city and was relatively quiet, so he could rest for a night and leave tomorrow morning.

Gu Wei was very clear-headed. If he wanted to avoid failure, he had to reject everything. He must not be lucky at this time.

The sisters of the Times could walk slower. They hadn’t seen each other for a long time, so they took this opportunity to reconnect with each other.

Yang Mi frowned, took his eyes off his phone, looked at Xie Yilin and Guo Caijie who were chatting, and Guo Biting who was also looking at her phone, and his heart moved.

"Okay, let's go too. We'll meet again next time." said Xie Yilin carefree.

"Wait. We finally got together. Let's go sing karaoke and then have a midnight snack."

"Didn't you just say that you had something to do tonight and we should get together next time?" Guo Caijie looked confused.

"The plan has changed, and now there's nothing else to do.

Biting, you don't have anything to do tonight, right?"

"Oh, I'm fine, just be patient." Guo Biting, who was suddenly called out, said obediently.

"In that case, let's do as Mimi said and have fun all night long!" Xie Yilin cheered happily.
