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...
[Go Where There Is Wind] After finishing the crew's business, Gu Wei boarded the flight from Dali to Turpan.
Of course, he was not going to eat grapes, but to participate in the recording of "Running Man Season 6" as a flying guest.
Although the popularity of [Running Man] has not increased as much as it did in the past few years, it is still one of the most popular variety shows currently.
Gu Wei will be participating in the last episode of this season, so the publicity effect can be better.
It is different now than before. It is difficult for domestic entertainment to produce variety shows that are as popular and sought after by the whole nation as "Super Girl" and "The Voice of China".
In recent years, as more and more variety shows are produced and broadcast on the platform, the audience has a wider range of choices.
From outdoor reality shows such as "Running Man" and "Go Fighting" to slow business variety shows such as "A Longing for Life" and "Chinese Restaurant", to reasoning variety shows such as "Star Detective" and "Escape the Room".
There are also talent shows, travel reality shows, dating shows, parent-child reality shows, and so on.
It covers all types of variety shows that the audience can think of.
The abundance of quantity and variety has made it increasingly difficult for a variety show to become popular and break through its circle.
[Running Man] became so popular at the time because this type of show was the first of its kind in China, it was very fresh and everyone had no choice.
It’s different now, the audience has so many choices.
Therefore, among the variety shows in the past two years, even the most popular ones have obvious circle restrictions. They are very popular among fans, but their national popularity is far behind that of "Super Girl", "Running Man" and "The Voice of China" in the past.
It was already afternoon when the plane landed at Turpan Airport. As soon as Gu Wei got off the plane, he felt a heat wave hitting him.
When we walked out of the airport with our team, the convoy that was there to pick us up was already waiting outside.
"Teacher Gu Wei~"
The person in charge is an assistant director of the "Running Man" crew.
"Shall we go to the crew hotel?"
After getting in the car, Gu Wei looked outside through the window.
This was his first time in Turpan, and he was curious about the local customs and culture.
"Yes, the director is arranging the recording process for tomorrow at the venue. It may be a little later before he can return to the hotel to meet you."
"Are the other guests here?"
"They are all here. We recorded two episodes in Changji, a frontier city, two days ago. The crew just arrived in Turpan yesterday. The other teachers are all resting.
Oh, by the way, Teacher Reba is here too."
After driving for a while, the car arrived at a high-end hotel in Turpan city. With the arrangement of the staff, Gu Wei and his party checked in smoothly.
Soon, he met Dilraba Dilmurat who had arrived at the crew earlier.
"Did you miss me?"
The two had been in contact via mobile phone since they were on the plane. When Gu Wei checked in, Reba was the first to know and came to his room.
They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and when she saw Gu Wei, she ran over to him without hesitation.
"Have you gained some weight recently?"
Gu Wei held Reba and spun around in a small circle, and the two of them looked like the male and female protagonists meeting in an idol drama.
"No, I've maintained my weight very well."
Gu Wei looked at Reba's pretty face and stretched out his hand to pinch it gently: "Actually, it's good to be a little fatter. It's not good to be too thin.
Keeping your weight off is not easy when you love to eat so much."
"It's okay, actually. I exercise regularly and just need to be more careful about my diet."
"When did you arrive? You came quite early~"
“I went back to my hometown to record a show, so I stopped by WLMQ and came over from there at noon.
Oh, and I brought you a lot of things."
"Did you bring it to me when you returned home?
Could it be yogurt lumps?"
It’s no secret that Reba likes to eat yogurt lumps. She has recommended this frontier specialty food to Gu Wei many times before.
Gu Wei tried to eat a little bit. It wasn’t bad, but it was really sour.
"Hehe, there are indeed yogurt lumps, and a lot of other things, all brought to me by my parents. I'll share some with you." Reba looked playful, blinking her big eyes.
Gu Wei was somewhat helpless: "Thank you."
The two chatted for a while and prepared to go out for dinner.
At this time, Reba volunteered to make arrangements, saying that this was her territory and she would definitely take Gu Wei to eat the most authentic frontier cuisine.
After leaving the hotel, the two quickly arrived at a restaurant with very local characteristics.
After entering the private room, Reba ordered food skillfully, and soon a table of food was served.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
Reba watched Gu Wei try the dishes in front of him with an expectant look on her face.
“Yes, the taste is very good and suits my taste.
Especially the meat in naan, it’s delicious!”
Reba was obviously very happy to hear Gu Wei's praise, and she also picked up a piece of braised lamb.
“The food here tastes OK, but my Apa makes better dishes like meat wrapped in naan, big plate chicken, and pilaf.
If you have the chance to come to my house and try her cooking, I guarantee you’ll like it! ”
Gu Wei smiled and nodded.
"Are your parents in good health?"
“That’s good. My Ada will retire next year, but it looks like he doesn’t plan to retire and plans to continue singing in the song and dance troupe.
Apa is also in good health and rarely gets sick.
It’s just that I’ve been very busy with work since I graduated and rarely go home, so they miss me the most.”
As she said this, Reba's mood became a little depressed.
Gu Wei smiled and said, "They must be very proud that their daughter has become a nationally famous star!"
“Yeah, although it may sound a bit boastful, they are indeed quite proud of my fame now.
Especially my Ada. Ever since I became famous, he has been acting like a big shot in the troupe.
Now everyone knows that he has a daughter who is a big star."
From Reba's expression, we can tell that she is very proud of bringing honor to her parents.
"Then you have to work harder in the future. You are a big star now, so strive to become a respected performing artist in the future!" Gu Wei encouraged with a smile.
"I will try my best~" Reba nodded vigorously with a bright smile on her face.
The two chatted while eating. After finally having a meal with Gu Wei, Reba no longer controlled her diet and ate the lamb skewers and grilled lamb with big mouthfuls.
"We're recording a variety show tomorrow. When will Chao Yue arrive?"
Reba knew that the purpose of this recording of "Running Man" was to promote the upcoming "John Wick 4". Normally, Gu Wei, Yang Chaoyue and the other three would be together.
Gu Wei picked up a piece of spicy lamb trotters. The chewy, smooth and spicy taste suited his taste very well.
The food in the border area is mainly mutton, and most of the dishes on the table are made with meat from different parts of the sheep.
"Chao Yue is not coming, it's just the two of us this time~"
"Does she have another job?"
"She is a regular guest on this season of Go Fighting!
As a rival, it's not a good idea for her to come to Running Man.
After we finish recording here, Chang Sha will join her on an episode of [Hello Saturday]."
Reba nodded.
A meal for two people is very filling.
After leaving the hotel, Reba took Gu Wei to visit places with folk customs in Turpan city.
At this time, the sky was getting a little dark. Both of them were wearing masks and baseball caps. To passers-by, they were just a couple with good figures and good temperament. No one could associate them with celebrities.
"I really ate too much today, and you didn't remind me to order."
Reba placed her hands on her slightly bulging belly and rubbed it gently as she walked forward.
She did eat a lot just now, and she felt good at the time, but now she is worried about gaining weight.
"I've heard that many people who are trying to lose weight or keep fit will reward themselves with a delicious meal every once in a while, and they can eat whatever they want. This is called an indulgence meal.
Just think of that as your indulgence."
Gu Wei and Reba walked side by side at a slow and leisurely pace, looking at the exotic buildings and scenery around them while strolling.
"There's such a saying. Don't lie to me because I didn't go to school much." Reba looked doubtful.
Gu Wei turned around and smiled: "Just watch Douyin more often and you'll know."
The sky was getting darker and darker, and after walking around for a while, the two returned to the hotel.
night.
Reba came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. She was wearing a light yellow thin nightgown. Her hair had been blown dry and tied up high, revealing her snow-white and slender neck.
After washing, she didn't put on any makeup, giving people the feeling of a lotus emerging from clear water.
Because of her myopia, she wore a pair of black-framed glasses at this time, which made her look a bit silly and bookish.
"What are you looking at?"
Walking to Gu Wei, she sat on the armrest of the chair, put a snow-white arm on Gu Wei's shoulder, and looked at the computer screen in front of her curiously.
"A script for a new play that will open next month."
"What kind of play, a movie or a TV series?" She became more interested after hearing what Gu Wei said.
"The movie is called [Extreme Rescue], an action movie I starred in."
Reba turned around and sat astride Gu Wei's legs, facing him: "Have you decided on the actors? Is there a role I can play?"
"The female lead has already been decided on, Yang Chaoyue. There are indeed a few female supporting roles, but you are definitely not suitable."
After taking a shower, Reba was only wearing a nightgown. After she sat over, Gu Wei naturally placed his hands on her slender and soft waist, and then one hand slid down to her snow-white thigh, gently stroking it.
"What's the movie about?"
When Reba heard that the heroine gave it to Yang Chaoyue, she frowned at first, but she knew that Gu Wei must have his reasons for doing things, so she didn't ask why he chose her instead of herself.
Gu Wei told Reba the plot of "Extraction" bit by bit, and then explained the relationship between the male and female protagonists and the characters in "John Wick 4", and Reba finally understood.
“Chao Yue is really lucky.
In John Wick 4, she only had a small supporting role with a few scenes. Who could have imagined that this small cameo in that film would lead to her becoming the leading lady in the next film? Although Reba understood, she still felt a little jealous.
She is the heroine of Gu Wei's movie. Which female star in the domestic entertainment industry would not be moved by her?
“Her nickname is Koi, she is indeed lucky.
Come to think of it, Zhang Tianai, who filmed "The Wandering Earth 2" with you in the first half of the year, was also like this.
In the first film, she made a cameo appearance as a dead person. There was only one shot of her lying in a coffin, and the rest were photos.
In the second part, she became the heroine."
Reba couldn't help but nodded: "I know, I even talked to Zhang Tianai about it when we were filming.
She said she never expected that she would just make a cameo appearance in the first film, but would naturally become the female lead in the second one.
Gu Wei smiled and said nothing more.
These two people are indeed lucky, but this luck was given by him. All the seemingly unexpected gains were arranged in advance.
While chatting with Reba, Gu Wei's hand on her round and beautiful legs had slowly climbed up.
Reba, who was speaking, also felt something strange. Her face became redder and redder, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Gu Wei seemed to be drawn.
With a gentle pull, Reba fell into Gu Wei's arms as if she had no bones.
"You ate too much for dinner. Can I help you exercise to burn off the excess energy?" Gu Wei whispered in her ear.
Reba lay on Gu Wei and just said "hmm" softly.
The next day, "Running Man" officially started recording.
As usual, the appearance of Gu Wei and Reba as guests caused exclamations from the Running Man team.
Of course, there is a large element of acting, and everyone more or less knows who the guest coming today is.
Gu Wei is an old friend of "Running Man" and Reba was a regular guest in the past. For both of them, recording "Running Man" is not difficult.
As the earliest outdoor reality show, the core of "Running Man" is still games, but the iconic game of tearing name tags rarely appears in the show now.
On the one hand, it is because of copyright issues. After the revision of "Running Man", the copyright of "Running Man" was not purchased again, so try to avoid being similar to the other.
On the other hand, "Running Man" has been recorded for too many seasons, and the audience would feel bored of tearing off name tags all the time. In addition, the program team also hopes to be innovative, so they almost canceled the name tag tearing segment.
The regular guests of this season's "Running Man" are Li Chen, baby, Sha Yi, Cai Xukun, Bai Lu, Zhou Shen, plus Gu Wei, making a total of eight people.
The opening was still the familiar team division, but instead of being divided into two teams, the teams were divided into four teams of two.
Li Chen and Zhou Shen were in one team, Sha Yi and Cai Xukun were in another, Gu Wei was assigned to the same team with Bai Lu, who had publicly stated several times that she was his fan, and Reba was in the same team with Angelababy.
"Brother Wei, we meet again.
I heard that the movie you're working on with Keanu Reeves is about to be released, and I'll definitely go to the cinema to support you!"
Bai Lu still felt a little restrained when looking at Gu Wei.
Her character on "Running Man" has always been bold and unrestrained, and her famous laughing emoticons once went viral on the Internet.
However, she couldn't let go when facing Gu Wei.
After all, the other person is her idol whom she has liked for many years, so she is always a little nervous and excited.
"Thank you. I believe [John Wick 4] will not disappoint you!"
Following Bai Lu's words, Gu Wei directly put out the advertisement. He was on the show to promote the movie, so of course he would say a few more words if he had the chance.
Although Bai Lu was a little reserved, she was very sensible and continued chatting with Gu Wei along the same topic.
"Brother Wei, what role do you play in the movie?"
"A killer, a very powerful killer!"
"What about Sister Reba?"
"She's pretty much the same, a skilled female assassin. We even have a short fight scene in the movie."
Bai Lu blinked her big eyes, with a look of admiration on her face: "Brother Wei, this is your first time playing the leading role in a Hollywood movie, right?
That’s amazing!
When will the movie be released?
"August 5th, released simultaneously worldwide." (End of this chapter)
