Chapter 598 Cosmic Girl

Gu Wei is so handsome! I wouldn't break up with him for anything. It's a heartfelt romance film. I used up a whole pack of tissues after watching it, and I cried my eyes out.

I really like Gu Wei. His films always surprise me, and this one was great, especially the last part, which was very touching! Zheng Kai's performance was also great. I didn't expect him and Gu Wei to have such good chemistry as a team!

[My husband and I watched a movie together, and he cried. This made me feel very uncomfortable. Does he have some other story?]

[I took my girlfriend to watch "Ex-Files 3". We both burst into tears after watching it. After a friendly negotiation, we decided to reconcile with our respective exes.

The bad news is that I failed!

The good news is that she succeeded.]

[I watched the first two movies with my ex-boyfriend, but unfortunately by the time the third movie came out, he was already someone else's boyfriend.

I was watching a movie alone in the cinema, thinking about the stories of my youth, and I cried my heart out.

[I went to see the movie because of Gu Wei, but to be honest, I was a little disappointed. I felt that it was one of the lower quality movies Gu Wei has made in recent years.

Maybe the director's skills are not good enough, the movie as a whole gives people a very mediocre feeling. The whole movie is about eating, drinking, and chatting. It is shot like an indoor sitcom and has no sense of life.

It’s a pity that Gu Wei and Ni Ni are both talented actors.

However, it is very touching in terms of emotions, and it is also the only bright spot in the whole movie! 】

【.】

After the release of "Ex-Files 3", the box office has been soaring, but the word of mouth has been mixed.

Those who like it think that this film captures his youth, is real and down-to-earth, and touches the heart; those who don’t like it think that it is a bad film with distorted values ​​and pretentiousness.

Interestingly, after the movie was released, after hundreds of thousands of comments and ratings, its Douban score was only 6.2, which can only be considered a mediocre work, but it was as high as 9.3 on Maoyan.

This is not surprising. According to data statistics from the Maoyan platform, viewers who scored above 9.3 are basically in the age group of 18 to 25, and this group of people are the main users of Maoyan.

No matter what, "Ex-Files 3" is undoubtedly a hit.

On the second day after the movie was released, a large number of short videos imitating the movie's plot appeared on apps such as Kuaishou and Douyin. These easy-to-make short videos quickly spread like a virus.

More hot topics are emerging, and highly infectious videos such as "A person crying leaning against the back of a chair" and "The current partner encounters the ex and they start fighting" have also become popular. This has directly led to more people becoming interested in the movie, thereby further boosting the box office.

On the 31st, Gu Wei left the crew for the roadshow and flew to Changsha.

The backstage of the International Convention and Exhibition Center is very busy at this time. Although it is very different from the Spring Festival Gala, the annual New Year’s Eve concert is still one of the most important evening parties of Mango TV.

8 o'clock sharp.

"Dear audience friends, welcome to the Mango TV New Year's Eve Concert!

I am the host He Jiong! "

"I am the host Wang Han"

On the brightly lit stage, the two hostesses of Mango TV announced the start of tonight's concert.

“Ahhhhh!!!”

The audience who came to watch the concert were extremely excited. Some held glow sticks, some held up light boards of their idols, and screamed loudly.

"Mango TV is really generous this year. Not only did they have TFBOYS performing, they even invited Gu Wei!"

"Yeah, I was quite disappointed that Gu Wei didn't perform at this year's Spring Festival Gala. I didn't expect him to be at Mango TV's New Year's Eve concert. What a surprise!"

The audience in the audience were basically young men and women, all of them looked to be around 20 years old. Judging from their clothes and light boards, most of them were fans of Gu Wei.

"Have you watched Ex 3 recently? That movie made me cry my eyes out.

My eyes were swollen from crying after I finished watching it, and it took me a while to recover."

"I was quite busy the past two days, but I plan to go see it tomorrow. My friend circles have been flooded with posts about the movie, and it's said to be very tear-jerking."

"It was really touching. I originally went to see it because of Gu Wei. He hasn't made a romantic movie in a long time. The last one was his "Left Ear".

This ended up making me cry.

But I plan to go for a second look.”

"Shall we go together tomorrow?"

"Okay, no problem!"

In the audience, a group of young girls were chatting enthusiastically with golden glow sticks in their hands. One of them was obviously a fan of Gu Wei, and the T-shirt she was wearing had Gu Wei's portrait printed on it.

Director's room.

Even through several thick walls, you can still hear the screams of fans in the venue.

"I feel like there are an especially large number of fans this year, almost all of them are young people, and their enthusiasm is so high!"

"Not surprising. There are so many popular stars this year, especially since the station invited Gu Wei to be the finale. It would be strange if he didn't have a lot of fans."

Two Mango TV staff members chatted while watching the monitor and listening to the screams coming through the wall.

"The station is really amazing. Gu Wei even turned down the Spring Festival Gala this year, yet he managed to come to our New Year's Eve concert!"

"I heard that he wanted to have a good rest and spend time with his family during the Spring Festival. After all, Gu Wei has been on the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years.

Our New Year's Eve concert won't delay anything.

In addition, our station is currently cooperating very well with Gu Wei. We just bought one of his idol dramas, which seems to be called "Go Go Squid!"

So, I came here just to give you face."

"Xiao Zhang, what are the real-time ratings after the show started?" As the two were chatting, a middle-aged man's voice came from the intercom.

One of the short and fat staff members quickly glanced at the display screen next to him.

"Director An, the data shows that after the show started, the national network ratings were 1.98, and the 52-city ratings were 2.14. However, even these figures are steadily rising!"

"OK."

There was a two-word reply on the intercom and then no more sound.

"This year's ratings are obviously higher than last year's." Seeing that the director didn't say anything else, the colleague next to him glanced at the data display screen.

"This is just the beginning. According to the pattern of previous years, the ratings will increase slightly after the opening.

I just don’t know how good Gu Wei will be when he appears.”

Backstage, artist lounge.

"Brother Wei, the concert is about to start. I have to go back and put on some makeup so I can get ready to go on stage."

Zhang Yixing, who also participated in the New Year's Eve concert, came to find Gu Wei before going on stage. After chatting for a while, he stood up and said goodbye.

"And Cheng Xiao, keep going! Being able to be Wei Ge's backup dancer means your exposure today will be no less than that of other singing stars."

"I know, I will try my best!"

In Gu Wei's lounge, besides him and Zhang Yixing, there was also a beautiful girl in a light blue dance dress.

She has long black hair with air bangs in front, fair skin, delicate and three-dimensional facial features, and looks youthful and beautiful.

From the upper part of the skirt to the shoulders, her arms are white and tender, her waist is slender, but her upper body is unusually plump. It is hard to imagine that this is the figure of a professional dancer.

Gu Wei accepted the invitation to participate in the New Year's Eve concert, and the dancers were arranged for him by Mango TV. Through someone's connections, Cheng Xiao from Lehua Entertainment was arranged to be his main dancer.

After several rehearsals before today, the two of them had already become familiar with each other.

Gu Wei still remembers Cheng Xiao's excited expression when he first saw him during the first rehearsal.

"Is this Xiaoxiao's first time attending such a large-scale party?"

After Zhang Yixing left, Gu Wei and Cheng Xiao chatted.

“It’s definitely the first time in the country.”

"I remember the group you debuted with in South Korea was called Cosmic Girls.

Is it difficult to debut in South Korea as a Chinese?

"It's not so bad. Compared to local trainees, domestic trainees like me definitely have a harder time in all aspects, but everyone works very hard. Under the same conditions, we are better than South Koreans!"

Cheng Xiao still looks a little young. She just debuted last year and is the same age as Gu Wei's assistant Yang Chaoyue. She is just 20 years old this year.

"Because of the support of the domestic market, many Chinese artists who debuted in South Korea ultimately have better development than local artists.

Like Zhang Yixing and his teammates just now, and Song Qian earlier."

Gu Wei nodded and then smiled.

"You don't have to be nervous. You performed very well in South Korea before. Don't put pressure on yourself." He actually noticed that Cheng Xiao was a little nervous, so after Zhang Yixing left, he took the initiative to find topics to chat with her, hoping to make her relax.

Cheng Xiao looked at Gu Wei and smiled a little reluctantly.

"This is my first time performing on such a big stage in the country, so I'm a little nervous."

Cheng Xiao was extremely excited when the company arranged for her to dance with Gu Wei.

She debuted in South Korea just one year ago. When she is not busy with work, she likes to watch Gu Wei's idol dramas and is considered a fan of his.

I didn’t expect that I would be able to perform on the same stage with my idol just after returning to China to develop my career.

"You performed very well in rehearsal, just keep it up.

And when you were in South Korea, there shouldn't have been many such stage performances, right?"

"It's different. Over there, they're all foreigners. No matter how they perform on stage, it doesn't really matter. They just treat the audience as a bunch of monkeys."

"Well, your metaphor is quite vivid." Gu Wei didn't expect Cheng Xiao to say it that way.

"What is the company's plan for your future development?"

“[WJSN] was jointly launched by Starship Entertainment and Lehua Entertainment, so my domestic agency contract is entirely with Lehua Entertainment.

According to the company's plan, my development center will shift to the domestic market after this year.

As for the Cosmic Girls group, I can just go and participate when they have activities."

"It was the right decision to return to China. Compared to the domestic market, the South Korean market is too narrow. There are huge differences in every aspect!"

The two chatted casually, and Cheng Xiao's nervousness eased a lot.

Time passed little by little, approaching 12 o'clock.

"I believe everyone is familiar with the guest who will appear next."

"Yes, he is an old friend of our Mango TV, and he is also a super handsome guy."

On the stage, He Jiong and Wang Han were trying to lure Gu Wei out with one word after another, but the fans in the audience could no longer contain their excitement and were shouting Gu Wei's name frantically.

"Gu Wei! Gu Wei!!"

“Ahhhhh!!!”

The momentum was much more exaggerated than when TFBOYS, Zhang Yixing, Zhang Huimei and others took the stage before.

In the backcourt, Cheng Xiao stood next to Gu Wei, listening to the deafening shouts in the field, and deeply understood the terrifying popularity of Gu Wei next to him.

"This is too much! Brother Wei, you haven't even played yet, and you already have so many fans! It feels like most of the place is yours!"

Gu Wei smiled and said nothing. This kind of scene was completely common to him.

"Director, it's up! It's up! The real-time ratings are skyrocketing!"

In the director's room, chief director Andy On has returned.

He stared at the display screen, watching the national network ratings, which had been stable at around 2.5, rise sharply when Gu Wei took the stage to sing, and were about to break through 3.

'No wonder CCTV invites Gu Wei to perform every year. He alone is equivalent to the effect of all other stars combined.

This year, Taiwan has gotten a great bargain!

No, I got a great bargain!'

Director An is now thinking, if he continues to direct next year’s New Year’s Eve Gala, what reasons can he use to convince Gu Wei to participate?

"Since everyone knows about it and is so enthusiastic, there's no need for us to waste time talking.

Welcome Gu Wei! "

Teacher He raised his voice for the last sentence, and then walked off the stage with Wang Han.

Melodious music sounded, and the lift platform in the center of the stage slowly rose. Gu Wei was wearing a winter men's suit customized for him by Louis Vuitton. The black laces and gold embroidery made him look noble, luxurious and eye-catching.

“We stopped and started along the way.

Following the traces of the boy's drift

”

“Ahhhhhhh!!!”

"Gu Wei, Gu Wei!"

"Brother, I love you!!"

“So cool!!”

The moment Gu Wei appeared, the cheers and shouts at the scene reached a peak. Countless young men and women looked at Gu Wei on the stage, and they were so excited that they couldn't control themselves.

Everyone raised their golden glow sticks above their heads, and the entire scene became a golden ocean.

“.

When I first met this world

Lingering

Looking at the horizon as if it is right in front of me

I am also willing to go through fire and water to walk it again

”

The song "The Wind Rises" sung by Gu Wei was not his original work, but was adapted from the song "Yakimochi" written and sung by Japanese singer Takahashi Yu.

At the beginning of this year, Miguo rewrote the lyrics and online singer Mai La Jiao also released the song online using coupons. Unfortunately, due to copyright issues, it was quickly removed from the shelves and failed to spread widely.

When Gu Wei was choosing songs for the New Year's Eve party, he thought of this song, so he asked his company to find Miguo and asked someone to communicate with Takahashi Yu's team in Japan to buy the adaptation rights of the song. Only then was the copyright of the lyrics and music resolved, and he could officially sing the song on stage.

Gu Wei himself actually likes the song "The Wind Rises" very much. The melody is very warm. When he sings it, it reveals a feeling of surging youth, purity and untainted by worldly dust. It is very beautiful.

In the real center of the stage, Gu Wei was holding a microphone and singing, with a group of young girls dancing behind him, and Cheng Xiao was in the middle.

After dancing with the team for a while, she walked over to Gu Wei and performed some dance moves around him. Gu Wei also cooperated with her.
