Chapter 645 Double Kill

Taking advantage of the aftermath of the May Fourth Gala, two versions of "Misplaced Time and Space" became popular for a while.

The crew of "Time Raiders" took advantage of this trend and started promoting the movie online.

A "dislocated time and space version" trailer and a first version poster titled "Feibenweini" were released.

In the poster, Gu Wei is wearing a yellow plaid shirt and jeans, looking a bit rustic. However, Liu Yifei next to him is dressed like a fashionable girl, holding a piece of watermelon in her hand as if she is about to eat it.

Above the two of them were two large characters: "Don't want to eat watermelon? Because watermelon isn't as sweet as you!"

Below is the name of the movie and its release date: "[Time Travel Cohabitation] will be released on June 15th!"

Fans of Gu Wei and Liu Yifei are naturally looking forward to this movie, and many netizens are also optimistic about the two working together again.

After all, the popularity of these two people is too high, and their looks are both top-notch in the domestic entertainment industry. It’s hard to say if they can shoot other things together, but if they act in a romance movie together, as long as the plot is not too bad, there will definitely be many audiences who will buy into it.

".I didn't expect the May Fourth Gala to be so successful. It was a great opportunity to bring the movie to the stage. After all, it's two versions of the same song.

My drama will be finished before the end of the month, so don't worry about the promotion; I'll make arrangements.

Don't be so polite, Director Xu. I'm also a lead actor and investor, so it's my duty to promote the film."

The next day, Gu Wei received a call from Xu Zheng, who first praised him and then talked about some promotional matters before the movie was released.

"The movie you're talking about is the one I filmed with Liu Yifei, 'Time Raiders'."

After sitting back, Jing Tian opposite looked at Gu Wei and said.

“Yes, the original version is the theme song I wrote for [Time Travel Cohabitation].

The content of that movie is the love story between a man and a woman in different time and space, so it is called [Misplaced Time and Space]." Gu Wei said as a matter of course.

"Hmph, I want to see what the effect will be after it is released."

Da Tiantian also felt a little jealous.

Gu Wei smiled and didn't care.

"It's different from your average romance movie. 'Time Raiders' is more accurately described as a fantasy comedy romance, incorporating some other elements into the traditional urban romance genre. I think it's quite enjoyable."

"Now that our film is finished, your main job will probably be promoting 'Time Travelers', right?"

"About the same. There's a movie coming out this year about school bullying, and it's also going to start filming at the end of next month."

"School bullying theme?

Are you going to start acting in feature films? Are you planning to win awards? "Gu Wei said this, and Jing Tian's interest suddenly piqued.

As we all know, Gu Wei started his career by making commercial films. Most of his films were box office hits, but he did not win many awards.

In the past two years, there have always been some fans and netizens saying that Gu Wei could actually try to transform himself and act in some realistic films to win awards.

“Not really, I just thought the script was good, and the director and production team were excellent. It wasn’t that I was deliberately trying to win an award.

The subject matter is indeed not as attractive as the commercial films I have acted in before.

But I am confident that the film will still achieve good box office results."

Gu Wei looked very confident, but Jing Tian didn't think there was anything wrong.

With Gu Wei's current fame and reputation among the general audience, even a relatively niche feature film will definitely attract many people to watch it.

"What's the name of the movie?"

"[Youth]!

Adapted from Jiu Yuexi's novel "Better Days", directed by Zeng Guoxiang, the director of "Soulmate".

The filming team is also the team of "July and Ansheng"

"Director Tsang Kuo-hsiang, who has won two Golden Horse Award-winning actresses, sounds like a film worth looking forward to."

"And you?

Can we take a break after we finish filming this movie?" Gu Wei asked Jing Tian again.

"I do want to, but I took on another TV series at the beginning of the year. After "Sito" is finished, I will join the crew to shoot that one." Da Tiantian is actually not particularly ambitious in her career, and she is a little tired from the continuous filming.

"Ancient costume?"

"No, it's a modern suspenseful romance drama called A Journey to Meet Love, directed by Mao Weining."

"Director Mao, the quality of his dramas is still guaranteed."

Gu Wei had no impression of the TV series Jing Tian mentioned, but he was familiar with Mao Weining's name.

The film "Ordinary World" that won many awards in the past two years was directed by Director Mao.

Actor Wang Lei also won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor that year with him for his role as the "Northwest Hammer King".

After chatting with Jingtian for a while, Gu Wei's phone suddenly rang.

He opened it and took a look, then raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Gu Wei currently has three social apps on his phone: WeChat from China, LINE from Japan and South Korea, and WhatsApp from Europe and the United States.

It turned out to be a message I just received on WhatsApp.

He opened the app, looked confused, and then pressed the screen of his phone to reply to the message.

After a while, Gu Wei put down his phone and looked up at Da Tiantian opposite him.

"Looks like I have to take another leave."

"You're too busy. You have to take a few days off after filming for a while."

Jingtian said while eating snacks.

She actually understood why Gu Wei was so busy, but she still hoped that he could spend more time on the crew.

"It's okay. The most important thing about this drama is you, Tiantian. I've almost finished filming my scenes, and there's still some left, which isn't too much. It won't delay the filming progress."

"What's going on this time?"

"I have to go to Shanghai to take care of some things we agreed on last year."

Gu Wei smiled and didn't elaborate.

This departure was actually quite sudden. To be honest, he had not planned it in advance. It was entirely because of the message that just came on his phone.

On the 11th of this month, "Avengers 3: Infinity War" will be released in the country.

On May 6, directors the Russo brothers will lead "Iron Man" Robert Downey Jr., "The Hulk" Mark Ruffalo, "Spider-Man" Tom Holland, "Black Widow" Scarlett Johansson, "Scarlet Witch" Elizabeth Olsen and others to Shanghai Disneytown to attend the domestic film premiere ceremony.

The message just now was sent by Scarlett.

Needless to say, the two had made an appointment at the Paris Fashion Week last year, but after a year, Gu Wei almost forgot about it. This sudden message reminded him of what he had promised Scarlett.

On the afternoon of the 6th, at the premiere of "Avengers 3: Infinity War", the appearance of Robert Downey Jr. and his group caused screams from fans.

After ten years of planning, Marvel's superhero series of movies has already gained a large number of fans in China. Today's premiere held in Disney Town was unprecedented. In addition to media reporters, all the attendees were loyal Marvel fans.

[Avengers 3] is the strongest gathering of superheroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Before this, there were rumors that the film brought together at least 67 superheroes. When reporters on the scene asked director Russell to confirm this number, the director said, "We didn't actually count them, and I don't know how many there are.

But the next movie (Avengers 4) will definitely see more people!"

During the on-site interviews, the "superheroes" present recounted their unforgettable experiences during the filming.

Holland said that what he could never forget was acting with the stars of Guardians of the Galaxy. "Filming with them was the craziest experience, and they were all so tall. When I was with them, I always had to look for rocks or place to stand on."

Listening to Holland's bittersweet experience with his new partner, Mark Ruffalo, who was sitting next to him, kept waving at him, as if to tell Holland that he should just film more with him and Downey's "science team."

The topic of Iron Man vs. Black Panther was brought up again at the press conference.

Downey, the Marvel boss for ten years, smiled and said confidently, "I am not out of date yet! At Marvel, we encourage the continuous creation of new things, and we applaud those who surpass each other's works.

But I also want to make a movie called "Iron Panther"!

Scarlett Johansson and Olsen, as the female superheroes in the team, were also asked when their own superhero movies would be released.

The two smiled at each other.

"Don't worry about this. I believe that as long as everyone likes it, Black Widow and Scarlet Witch will eventually have their own independent movies."

After the premiere, the audience and media left one after another, and the Avengers returned to the backstage and then prepared to return to the hotel.

"Dear Elizabeth, have you decided whether to keep the appointment? Our time is almost up." Scarlett, who was wearing a golden long dress, looked at her watch, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said to Olsen beside her.

"Scarlett, I never thought that this is how you treat friends. I always treated you as my best friend. I even introduced you two to each other when we had dinner in New York two years ago." After the interview, the smile on Olsen's face immediately disappeared. After listening to Scarlett's words, she turned around and said with some hatred.

"What do you mean? We are all friends, my dear Elizabeth. You think too much."

Scarlett moved a little closer, took Olsen's arm affectionately, and whispered in his ear.

"Now that I'm divorced and a single mother, I just want to live my life well and have no other thoughts.

Besides, you and Gu are just good friends, right?

Don’t worry too much. My two previous marriages taught me one thing: cherish the present moment, enjoy the present moment, and everything else is just passing clouds.”

Compared with Elizabeth Olsen, Scarlett's love life is much richer. As she herself said, she ended her second marriage last year. She also has a daughter with her second husband and is now a single mother.

The so-called shyness and embarrassment do not exist for her. Scarlett believes that enjoying the present life is the most important thing.

For example, the person she came to China to promote her movie was part of her life. Because of the wonderful experiences she had in the past, she was looking forward to tonight.

As for Olsen next to her, the two of them were good friends, and the other party had arrived first. Scarlett knew the strength of that oriental man and also wanted to experience something new and exciting, so they had the conversation just now.

"We're just going to have a meal. I'm not going to go crazy with you, Scarlett!"

Gu Wei invited Olsen to dinner, and she wanted to go, but she knew clearly the style of the "Black Widow" in front of her.

She had no problem dating Gu Wei alone, but she couldn't accept being with Scarlett.

“Of course, I’m talking about going to dinner.

I really like Chinese food.

It’s a pity that our time here is limited, otherwise I really want to stay a few more days.”

Scarlett blinked and said something she didn't even believe.

"You'd better tell the truth"

A private restaurant in a villa area in Shanghai.

Gu Wei ordered a table full of delicious food and waited for the arrival of the two beauties.

After Scarlett sent her a message, he sent an invitation to her and Olsen.

The two of them came to the country to promote the movie, and he felt that he needed to do his best to be a good host.

Not long after, the door of the box was pushed open, and Scarlett and Olsen walked in one after another.

"Scarlett, Elizabeth, long time no see"

Gu Wei stood up and smiled as he kissed each of them on the cheek.

"Gu, after not seeing you for a year, you are still as handsome as ever!"

Scarlett smiled and said to Gu Wei in front of her.

Compared to her, Olsen seems much quieter.

"You should have told me your arrival time earlier so that I could better entertain you.

I was filming in another place, but after receiving Scarlett's message, I immediately asked for leave from the crew and rushed over."

"Gu~ We appreciate your kindness, but this trip to China is also for work, and we have to leave with the crew tomorrow.

After all, the promotion of Avengers isn’t limited to China.” Scarlett chuckled and said.

"Is it okay for you to come to the crew in such a hurry?" Olsen was more concerned about Gu Wei's filming.

"It's okay. That drama was invested in by my own company, and filming is almost done now. Taking leave won't affect anything."

Gu Wei hadn't seen Scarlett and Olsen for a long time. Although they occasionally chatted on WhatsApp, they still felt a little unfamiliar when they met.

However, after sitting down and talking for a few words, this sense of strangeness gradually faded.

"I ordered some of their signature dishes, some of which are more suitable for American tastes.

For example, sweet and sour pork, General Tso's chicken, mapo tofu, and your president's favorite Chinese dish, Kung Pao Chicken."

As he said that, Gu Wei put the menu in front of Scarlett and Olsen.

"You can go ahead and order whatever you want. This is different from Chinese restaurants in the United States. The taste is absolutely authentic."

The two of them didn't hesitate to look at the pictures on the menu. Gu Wei helped translate and explained the name of each dish, the ingredients, and the approximate cooking method.

The simple explanation opened Scarlett and Olsen's eyes. Before this, they had never imagined that dishes could be cooked in so many strange ways.

So I ordered a few more dishes according to my preferences and planned to taste them.

After ordering the extra dishes, Gu Wei poured the already decanted red wine for the two of them, and the three of them chatted while drinking and eating.

"Infinity War is a milestone in Marvel's decade. The reputation and fans accumulated over the past decade will have a big impact on this film, and the global box office will surely shock everyone."

"You're right. It was released in North America and Europe at the end of last month. In the past two weeks, Infinity War has been the weekly champion of the global box office," Scarlett said while eating sweet and sour pork. She was very interested in this sweet and sour dish.

"According to the normal filming process, with Infinity War now released, Endgame, the sequel, should have been finished long ago, right?"

Scarlett nodded.

"We wrapped filming in January this year, but according to the director's request, we still have to reshoot some scenes in the second half of the year."

"With the conclusion of The Avengers, the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe has entered its second phase. You two should have your own movies coming up, right?"

"I have one, but it's a prequel. After all, Black Widow died in the end in Avengers, and the death of her character also means my exit." Scarlett didn't mind giving Gu Wei a spoiler at all, and directly told him his final ending in the movie.

"I guess it's not just you, Iron Man must have sacrificed himself in the end too."

"How do you know?" Scarlett and Olsen looked at him curiously. The fourth film has not yet been released, and apart from the main creators of the film, the outside world certainly does not know the plot.

Although Gu Wei is a big star, he should have no connections in Hollywood, so they wondered how he knew the ending.

Gu Wei picked up the red wine glass, clinked it with the two of them and took a sip.

"I heard that Downey's salary for Avengers 4 is $20 million plus an 8% share of the global box office. Is that correct?"

Scarlett nodded.

"When filming the first Iron Man, Downey's salary was only $500,000, but now it has increased many times.

At this point in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s no longer about which star plays a role, but the Marvel brand itself is worth the audience’s anticipation.

There is more than one superhero in the movie, Iron Man, and Downey's salary is already more than everyone else's combined.

If I were the producer of the movie, I would definitely not be willing to continue paying so much money to Downey.

Having him sacrificed at the end of the first phase of [Avengers 4] was a good choice."

According to the future global box office performance of "Avengers 4", Robert Downey Jr. finally received a salary of 75 million US dollars, which is more than 500 million RMB.

This price is a bit too exaggerated. No matter how popular he is, the producers will still write Iron Man to death.

"What you said does make sense. According to this logic, Marvel signed me to contracts for the next few film and television dramas because I was cheap enough."

Olsen said with some self-mockery.

Now that she has received the scripts for "WandaVision" and "Doctor Strange 2", Scarlet Witch is definitely a relatively important character in the second phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

"Of course not only that, but also because you are very popular, Elizabeth."

Gu Wei smiled and comforted him.

The three of them ate and chatted in a very harmonious atmosphere.

Olsen was a little reserved at first, but then he gradually relaxed.

She no longer felt any pressure. She was just drinking and chatting with two good friends. She was very happy to see Gu Wei, the handsome guy she hadn't seen for a long time, and he was very pleasing to the eye.

"Gu~ I don't think coming to you is a good decision.

I ate so much! I think I’ll gain at least two pounds when I get home today.”

The three of them had almost finished their meal and drank two bottles of wine. Scarlett blushed slightly and burped and said.

"The dishes you chose are all delicious, especially the squirrel fish. I like it very much. I will order it every time I go back for Chinese food next time." Olsen, who was sitting next to her, touched his slightly bulging belly and expressed his satisfaction with Gu Wei's hospitality.

“After enjoying the delicious food, we can go to see the most beautiful scenery in Shanghai - the Huangpu River.

My home happens to be by the river. If you climb up high and look out, you can have a panoramic view of the river. I also have some good wine, we can continue to taste it." After the meal, Gu Wei made an invitation.

"No problem, let's go!" Scarlett agreed without hesitation.

Turning to look at the hesitant Olsen, she took his arm.

"Don't be such a bummer when you come to China. We are all very busy with work and we don't know when we will meet again."

After listening to Scarlett's words and looking at Gu Wei, Ao Mei finally nodded in agreement.

So the three of them went out and got in the car, all the way to Gu Wei's home in [Tangchen Yipin].

He was not lying. His home wine cabinet was indeed filled with a variety of fine wines, including Lafite, Petrus, Latour, Haut-Brion, and even 1999 Romanee-Conti, which was worth 200,000 RMB per bottle.

To welcome his good friends who came from afar, Gu Wei opened a bottle and shared it with Scarlett and Olsen.

Looking down from his living room, the Huangpu River and the Bund were indeed very beautiful at night. The three of them were enjoying the wine, looking at the beautiful scenery, chatting, and were very happy for a while.

As time goes by, what is supposed to happen will happen.

The man and the woman were already in love, and with the alcohol playing a role, the three of them naturally rolled onto the big bed in the bedroom.

In the past, Gu Wei had a record of complete victory against Scarlett and Olsen, and this time he was not at a disadvantage in a one-on-two situation.

The two Marvel goddesses came from afar, and as the host, he did his best to ensure that they received the best hospitality.

Both of them are blonde beauties with perfect figures. They have their own merits in appearance and completely different styles.

Scarlett's curves are more prominent, and she looks more sexy. She is also very active in exercise, just like a beautiful red rose, unrestrained and hot.

Olsen has a more slender figure. Of course, she is also plump, but slightly less than Scarlett. However, her body proportions are more perfect, and her perky buttocks and round and slender legs are very attractive.

She was a little shy at the beginning and just helplessly let Scarlett and Gu Wei control her.

After getting excited, I completely let go of myself and devoted myself to a wonderful sport.
