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...
Chapter 786: What You Want
Jia Shikai is definitely one of the talented people in the entertainment industry.
He graduated from Changsha University of Science and Technology with a master's degree in business administration.
After entering the industry, he worked as an artist agent at Huanrui Pictures.
Within a few years, he was quickly promoted and given a raise to become the vice president of Huanrui.
In fact, he is not very old. He was born in the 1980s and is only 6 years older than Gu Wei. He can be said to be a young hero.
In 2015, due to internal disputes within the company, Jia Shikai left Huanrui, took his artist Yang Yang with him, and established his own agency [Yuekai Entertainment].
Later, Song Qian, Wu Zun, Xuan Lu, Dong Sicheng, Jiang Chao and others were signed one after another, and the company gradually grew and developed.
He even supported his "own son" Yang Yang to become one of the top traffic stars in the domestic entertainment industry.
During the period when Yang Yanggang became popular, he grabbed endorsements at low prices, exchanged quantity for quality, and signed more than 30 endorsements in a short period of time. This was the route designed for him by Jia Shikai.
Although Yang Yang's status has dropped significantly due to this incident, in other words, he has become worthless, and he has also offended many of his peers, but due to the promotion of numerous endorsements, he has finally secured his position as a top star.
It can be said that Yang Yang was able to rise to where he is today largely because Jia Shikai found resources and planned routes for him.
While chatting at the dinner table, Gu Wei could also feel that the other party was indeed talented and knowledgeable.
When the two talked about the production of film and television dramas in the entertainment industry and the development of celebrity careers, the other party was always able to express his views in a simple and easy-to-understand way, with clear thinking and rigorous logic, and he also had his own unique views on artist management.
I can only say that those who can make it into the entertainment industry and achieve something in the end are all very capable.
Gu Wei could see that Jia Shikai was a little disappointed when he rejected him, but this emotion was fleeting, and he immediately started talking to him about other things with a smile on his face.
In terms of social skills, Jia Shikai's skills have been maxed out.
".There are many talented people in our industry. I have been in this field for more than ten years and have met many industry veterans, company CEOs, big stars, and famous directors.
But the person I admire most is Mr. Gu."
"Mr. Jia is too polite~"
Jia Shikai smiled and raised his hand.
"I'm not being polite, I'm really not being polite~
To be honest with you, Mr. Gu, I have specifically studied your development path since your debut.
Whether it's being an actor, running a company, or even how to deal with various problems.
Finally, I came to a conclusion.”
Gu Wei looked at him curiously, and Wang Churan beside him also blinked his big eyes and listened to the two of them talking.
“Mr. Gu’s entire journey can be best described in two words.
correct! "
Gu Wei smiled, probably understanding what he meant.
Wang Churan, on the other hand, had a puzzled look on his face, waiting for Jia Shikai to continue.
“I think that life is a journey of constant choices.
Different choices will lead to different results, thus creating different lives.
Some people choose the right path and everything goes smoothly, while others choose the wrong path and end up in poverty.
Hard work and ability are important, but choice is more important, whether in life or work.
Looking back at your development over the years, it seems that at every fork in the road in your career, you have been able to choose the right one, thus moving forward step by step."
As he said this, Jia Shikai sighed.
"This is too difficult. Although I don't know how Mr. Gu did it, I believe you are very wise and not comparable to ordinary people."
"No, Mr. Jia is getting more and more mysterious, making me sound like I can tell the future.
I am just an ordinary person, I just got a little luckier."
So how can he succeed? After a lot of analysis, we come to the conclusion that Gu Wei is very wise and his flattery is very good.
Wang Churan was also looking at Gu Wei with admiration, just like a little fangirl.
"Mr. Gu is too modest~
By the way, Chu Ran has just entered the industry and is still in the newcomer stage.
As a senior, could Mr. Gu take care of her and pass on some experience?"
Mr. Gu turned to look at Wang Churan, and their eyes met.
"Did Chu Ran appear in [Qing Ping Le]?"
"Yes, I played Concubine Zhang in it. Brother Wei, have you seen that drama?" Wang Churan looked surprised.
Gu Wei smiled and nodded.
"I have a good relationship with both Wang Kai and Jiang Shuying. When the TV series aired in April, I even posted a Weibo to help promote it.
You did a great job in that drama.
You are a beautiful lady with a strong complexion, and you look good in both ancient and modern costumes.
As long as I put my heart into filming a few dramas, I believe I will soon be noticed by the audience."
"real?
But after my debut and a few performances, there didn’t seem to be much feedback.”
A trace of worry appeared on Wang Churan's pretty face, and then he seemed to suddenly think of something.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that there's a line on a person's palm that represents their career destiny.
But I can’t read it, can you help me read it?”
As she spoke, she stretched out a tender little white hand towards Gu Wei and leaned forward.
"cough"
Because they were too close, a delicate fragrance reached Gu Wei's nose.
Of course, it’s not the natural fragrance of a girl, but the perfume that Wang Churan sprays, but it smells very nice.
Because the other person was wearing a strapless long dress, at such a close distance, a large area of dazzling whiteness was visible.
Gu Wei lifted the other person's hand naturally, looking very serious.
"Your career line is very long, which means your future development will be very good."
"Really?" A bright smile spread across Wang Churan's face, and his fair little face turned slightly red.
Although she had been prepared for this, it was the first time she had done such a thing.
She was not opposed to it but rather proactive, simply because the target was Gu Wei.
When she got closer, she could smell the masculine scent emanating from Gu Wei, and when she looked at his handsome face, her heart beat faster unconsciously.
"Of course, but the fork in your career line indicates the possibility of making the wrong move. Be sure to be careful when making choices in the future."
"What should we do then?" Wang Churan exclaimed.
"It's okay. The branches of your career line intersect with your love line, so as long as you don't get distracted by your relationship and focus on your career, you'll be fine."
Seeing Gu Wei and Wang Churan chatting, Jia Shikai stopped talking and smiled.
The purpose of inviting Gu Wei to film today was not achieved, but Wang Churan will probably gain something.
He was actually very optimistic about Wang Churan and felt that he had the potential to become very popular.
If Wang Churan could hook up with Gu Wei, his future would definitely be smooth and he could save a lot of effort.
After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, the atmosphere at the dinner table became better and better, especially for Gu Wei and Wang Churan. With the girl's initiative and close physical contact, the relationship between the two quickly heated up.
Jia Shikai felt the time was ripe and spoke with a smile.
"Wang Churan actually has a very good foundation, I am very optimistic about him.
It’s a pity that there haven’t been any good opportunities since my debut.
Does Mr. Gu have any suitable role that can take care of her?"
After he finished speaking, Wang Churan also looked at Gu Wei with anticipation.
"Well, the movie I'm currently filming doesn't have many roles, and they were all decided long ago."
He looked at Wang Churan and thought of something.
"But I do have a role that's right for you."
Gu Wei thought for a moment, picked up his cell phone and made a call.
"Director Sun, has the role of "Sang Wen" in our second script been decided?
No need to choose, I have a suitable actor here."
After chatting with Sun Hao, the director of "Joy of Life", Gu Wei hung up the phone.
"Okay, I've reserved a role for you in [Joy of Life 2], a new female supporting role. You won't have too many scenes, but you'll still have your own unique character."
"Chu Ran, give a toast to Mr. Gu!"
Jia Shikai greeted him quickly.
Wang Churan also looked surprised.
If we were to say which TV series is the hottest this year, it would definitely be "Joy of Life".
The characters in this drama are different from those in other dramas. It is completely unknown whether it will become popular and how well it will perform if other dramas are shot.
But because of the huge hit of the first part, "Joy of Life 2" is bound to be a hit as well.
Even if you play a small role in it, you can gain a lot of exposure.
The most typical example is Jin Chen from the original time and space. She has been in the industry for many years and has gained considerable fame, but she still used her connections to replace the actor who played "Ye Ling'er" in the first film.
This also shows how much the hit dramas attract artists in the circle.
Wang Churan toasted Gu Wei with a glass of wine. After drinking it, he coughed twice and his face became even redder.
Gu Wei didn't feel that he had done much.
The role of "Sang Wen" doesn't have many scenes to begin with, and Wang Churan also performed well in the original time and space version, so it doesn't matter if she plays it.
After the drinking party, Gu Wei and Jia Shikai both drank a few more glasses, but he didn't feel anything. However, when they went out, Wang Churan kept holding his hand.
"Chu Ran, take good care of Mr. Gu."
Before parting, Jia Shikai smiled and said something to Wang Churan, then said goodbye to Gu Wei.
Gu Wei went out and got into his nanny car, and Wang Churan followed.
After getting in the car, she hugged Gu Wei's arm tightly and said nothing more.
"How old are you?"
Gu Wei suddenly asked.
"I was born in 1999 and I am 21 years old this year~"
"Where are you from?"
"Shanghai"
"Hmm? You're a Shanghai native, and you speak Mandarin very well, without any accent."
"I was born in Shanghai, then moved to Shandong with my parents and grew up in Zibo."
"Zibo, no wonder, I heard the barbecue there is especially delicious."
Wang Churan smiled: "There are indeed a lot of barbecue restaurants in our area, and the food is also delicious.
Have you been to Zibo?"
Gu Wei shook his head: "No, I've heard of your name for a long time. I'll go see it when I get a chance."
The atmosphere was a bit awkward when there were only two of them left, but after chatting for a few sentences, Wang Churan relaxed again.
After a while, the car returned to the hotel where Gu Wei was staying.
For Wang Churan, being able to have a relationship with Gu Wei was something she had never dared to imagine.
Even if we exclude some external conditions, Gu Wei's own configuration is still top-notch among men.
To use an inappropriate analogy, with his physique and appearance, if he went back to ancient times, he would at least be at the level of Song Yu and Pan An, and could win the exclusive favor of Wu Zetian in the harem.
Even if Gu Wei had no money or fame, it would not be too difficult for him to trick a rich girl into committing suicide for him with his own excellent conditions.
After becoming a big star, this charm is infinitely magnified.
There aren't too many women across the country who have feelings for him.
Many female fans call Gu Wei "husband" and "husband" online all day long.
They are not just talking. If there is really an opportunity, these people would be happy to pay money.
Gu Wei is very attractive to Wang Churan.
Before she met him in person, she only thought of him through the filters of characters from various movies and TV series. But after meeting him in person today, she found that Gu Wei's personal charm was simply irresistible.
After drinking some wine, this desire in my heart became even more amplified.
After returning to the hotel room, Wang Churan immediately took the initiative to kiss her.
Then it was quickly stripped into a big white sheep.
The body that I was usually proud of finally came in handy at this moment.
Unfortunately, as a rookie, her fighting ability was too weak and she was soon defeated by her opponent.
Gu Wei also verified a problem through practice.
He could testify that Wang Churan didn't like to roll her eyes, it was just that the whites of her eyes were too big, and when she looked in a certain direction it looked like she was rolling her eyes.
Okay, that's a bit too much.
However, he really saw this side of the other person during the interaction, but the eye-rolling at this time did not mean disdain, but extreme excitement.
The next morning, when Gu Wei got up, Wang Churan was still in a deep sleep.
She was exhausted last night, her strength was exhausted several times, but she kept persevering with her willpower.
Gu Wei did not wake her up. He poured a glass of water and placed it on the bedside, and left a note.
After a day of filming as usual, Gu Wei returned to the hotel in the evening and opened the door to enter the room.
"You didn't leave?"
He found Wang Churan sitting on the sofa watching TV.
"I'm back"
Seeing Gu Wei coming back, Wang Churan stood up from the sofa, put on his slippers and came to greet him.
"Have you got a meal yet?"
"I've already eaten on the set, why didn't you leave?"
"Brother Wei, do you want me to leave so much?" Wang Churan asked somewhat aggrievedly.
"Uh~ That's not the case. Don't you have a job?"
"The domestic entertainment industry is in such a bad state right now. Many big stars have no movies to shoot. It's normal for a small artist like me to be unemployed."
"I remember you were still in drama school?"
"It's summer vacation now, so I really have nothing to do now."
As he spoke, Wang Churan had already hugged Gu Wei's arm and looked at him pitifully.
"Brother Wei, can I stay here for a while?"
Gu Wei looked at her pretty face and nodded slowly.
"Okay then~"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Churan became as happy as a fox that had stolen a chicken.
"Where did you change your clothes?"
Gu Wei asked as he looked at the light yellow pajamas Wang Churan was wearing.
He remembered that she was wearing a white long dress last night.
"I asked my assistant to bring it to me after I woke up during the day. It also includes some of my personal belongings."
Wang Churan said as a matter of course.
Since there is such an opportunity and she really has nothing to do now, she might as well stay with Gu Wei for a while.
The two can also deepen their relationship.
This time, Gu Wei gave her a piece of cake from "Joy of Life". After their relationship gets better, who knows, there may be better and bigger pieces of cake falling on her head.
She still knows the difference between having a full meal and having a full meal every time.
Besides, being able to spend some time alone with Gu Wei is a blessing that many girls across the country envy.
Gu Wei scratched his head when he saw that the other party looked like he was going to live here permanently.
"If you want to stay here for a while, I'll ask the staff to open another room for you. It's not very convenient to stay in my room."
Actually, there is nothing inconvenient. The main reason is that Reba will join the crew in a few days, and it will be difficult for him to finish it then.
Although Gu Wei is a scumbag, he would never do anything to embarrass girls.
He has always been very good at time management and strives to give every girl the best experience.
"No, I have a place to stay in Shanghai.
Then I'll go back tomorrow.
I know you're filming during the day, can I ask you out for dinner later?"
Gu Wei smiled and nodded: "No problem, we can just contact each other on WeChat."
