Chapter 131 Dating and Scandal
Although the Spring Festival Gala of Beijing Satellite TV cannot compare with the influence of CCTV, it is already one of the best in terms of ratings and influence among the Spring Festival Galas of local satellite TV stations.
Gu Wei's song "The Lone Brave Man" has undoubtedly become the most popular song and dance program in this year's Beijing Spring Festival Gala.
On the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year in Beijing, Wang Dandan and her family were already watching TV. As locals, and with the Beijing Satellite TV's Spring Festival Gala getting better and better in the past two years, they were also accustomed to watching the CCTV Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve and the BJ Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala on the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year.
This year, Wang Dandan was particularly enthusiastic about watching the Spring Festival Gala. As soon as it was 7:30, she couldn't wait to switch the TV station to Beijing Satellite TV.
The whole family sat on the sofa in the living room, drinking tea, eating melon seeds, and chatting with each other, and they didn't pay attention to the Spring Festival Gala being shown on TV.
Mom noticed that something was wrong with Wang Dandan.
"Dandan, why are you so enthusiastic about watching the Spring Festival Gala today?"
She asked Wang Dandan, who was staring at the TV, with some curiosity.
"Mom, there's a star I particularly like on the Beijing TV program list."
The little girl was only in middle school, at the age when she was curious about all popular elements. Ever since she heard a few songs that Gu Wei posted online, she had been completely fascinated by him. She couldn't miss her idol's performance on the Spring Festival Gala.
Seeing her daughter's appearance, the mother also became curious.
After Wang Dandan's anxious wait, Gu Wei finally came on stage.
"The song is still so good, and the idol is so handsome!"
Looking at Gu Wei singing alone in the center of the stage, the little fan thought to himself.
She unconsciously pressed the remote control and turned up the volume.
Slowly, the sounds of family members chatting in the house disappeared, leaving only Gu Wei's singing echoing in the room.
After the song was finished, Gu Wei bowed and left the stage.
"Who is this guy? He sings well, and the song sounds so familiar."
Dad, who was sitting in the middle of the sofa, spoke.
As a middle-aged man and the real pillar of the family, he never cares about various news in the entertainment industry.
I usually devote myself to work and have little time for leisure.
"His name is Gu Wei, and the name of his song is 'The Lone Brave Man'. It's really popular right now, and we play it during recess at school."
Wang Dandan explained science to her father with great excitement.
Hearing his daughter say this, the father seemed to be a little surprised. He seemed to have heard other colleagues at work play this song as well.
I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time, but now watching the video accompanying the Spring Festival Gala, I think this is indeed a rare good song.
"The Lone Warrior", which was launched in November last year, has topped the major music charts for 10 consecutive weeks.
But no matter how good a song is, its popularity will eventually fade over time.
In the past two weeks, this song has dropped to the third place on Tencent Music's hot song list, and its position on the charts of other music platforms has also dropped to a certain extent, and it is no longer at the top of the list.
Leveraging the influence of the Beijing TV Spring Festival Gala, [The Lone Hero] became a hit again and quickly topped the charts again the next day.
After New Year's Eve, entertainment news outlets were reporting on the various programs of the Year of the Horse Spring Festival Gala, and netizens were also commenting on which program was the best of the gala.
As a result, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the news that Gu Wei's song "The Lone Brave Man" blew up the entire audience at the Beijing Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala strongly topped the trending search list and directly landed at the third place.
In a private room of a restaurant in Beijing, Gu Wei was flipping through the menu, planning what to order.
"Sorry, I'm late~"
A voice came from behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Liu Yifei, who had a date with him for dinner today.
Sister Tianxian was wearing a large black full-body down jacket. She took it off after entering the door and hung it on the clothes hanger in the corner of the room.
She wore a white turtleneck sweater on the upper body and tight jeans on the lower body, which showed off her curvy figure. Her face was not made up too heavily, but her skin was fair and flawless, and she looked in surprisingly good condition.
"The timing was perfect, I got there first."
Gu Wei would not stay in the capital for long, so he took this opportunity to ask Liu Yifei out for dinner.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he mentioned this, the other party agreed immediately.
Liu Yifei sat next to Gu Wei, took out a leather case from her pocket, and planned to tie up her scattered long hair.
With her back straight and her hands holding her hair back, her full chest is more prominent.
Gu Wei handed her the menu.
Liu Yifei didn't bother to be polite with him and ordered a few dishes casually.
"I saw your performance at the Spring Festival Gala last night. It was fantastic!" Liu Yifei turned to Gu Wei and said after handing the menu to the waiter.
"And Yao Beina even called me and praised you, saying that your singing skills are very good even among professional singers."
She leaned her elbows on the table, clasped her hands together, looked at Gu Wei and praised him.
"Sister Yifei, you are too kind. That sister's singing is really good. I am just an amateur singer and I am singing randomly." Gu Wei replied with a smile.
"There's just one thing that's strange to me. I don't remember ever telling you that Yao Bei is my friend, right?"
Liu Yifei looked at Gu Wei with puzzled eyes.
Gu Wei just made up an excuse to get in touch with Yao Benara at that time. He didn't expect that the two of them would contact each other so quickly, and his lie was exposed in an instant.
He rolled his eyes and said.
"Sister Yifei, do you remember the first time we met, I told you that you were my idol.
As a fan, it's normal to know more about your idol. Your relationship with Yao Beina is no secret on the Internet.
I was also trying to get closer to Na Jie, but I didn't lie completely. At least we have a good relationship, right? "
After saying that, Gu Wei looked at her in a flattering manner.
Hearing what Gu Wei said, Liu Yifei just snorted softly and glanced at him.
"You're off the hook. I didn't expose you when Yao Beina contacted me~"
"Sister Yifei is so generous~"
After a while, all the dishes were served.
The two people chatted while eating.
The last time Gu Wei and Liu Yifei went out to eat together was at the celebration banquet of "The Blade of the Assassin".
Although the two met occasionally later, they never had the opportunity to sit down and have a meal and chat together like today.
Liu Yifei is a genuine literary young woman. She rarely socializes and when she is not working, she likes to stay at home, read books and raise cats.
Occasionally, I would go out to eat and sing karaoke with friends.
Zhang Liangying, who highly admires Gu Wei's musical talent, is also one of Liu Yifei's few friends in the circle.
"Sister Yifei, what drama are you filming recently?"
After picking up a piece of vegetables and putting it in the bowl, Gu Wei asked casually.
"No, I've been staying home since The Four 2 was released before the Lunar New Year."
"Sister Yifei is so famous, isn't there any crew looking for you?"
"Um~ It's okay. I might start filming next month for the movie directed by Gao Xixi, 'Lush Hongyan'.
I really like the original novel of the novel, "Red Beauty Dew" by author Zhang Xiaoxian.
Liu Yifei was a little excited when talking about the books she read.
Then she shared with Gu Wei some of her thoughts and experiences on reading the book, and recommended that Gu Wei read it as well.
"Director Gao Xixi, he's a very famous director in the industry. I remember Huang Xiaoming's version of The Bund, Yu Hewei's version of Three Kingdoms, and Chen Daoming's The Legend of Chu and Han were all directed by him."
Gu Wei brought the topic back to filming.
"Yes, so my mother also thinks this is a very good opportunity."
Liu Yifei also looked in agreement.
"But Director Gao has always been a TV director. This is his first time directing a movie, right?"
Gu Wei asked with some confusion.
"It seems so, but it doesn't matter. Director Gao has directed so many successful big-budget TV series. This is just a romantic film, I believe it won't be difficult for him."
Liu Yifei is still very confident in the famous director.
After hearing her say that, Gu Wei didn't know what to say.
"By the way, Gu Wei, I never knew you could play the piano?
I was really surprised when I saw you singing and playing the guitar on Happy Camp a while ago.
Liu Yifei suddenly mentioned Gu Wei playing the piano.
"I think you look much more handsome when you play the piano. Would you like to perform for me if you have the chance?"
"Of course, no problem, as long as Sister Yifei doesn't mind that I play the piano so badly."
Of course Gu Wei would not refuse such a thing.
Speaking of this, Liu Yifei was a little absent-minded.
"Someone tried to match me up with a pianist over the years, but that family was rude, and in the end, we never met."
Gu Wei knew who Liu Yifei was talking about after hearing this.
"So you said in the media that playing the piano here is no different from beating cotton."
"It's his loss that he didn't get to know Sister Yifei. You are the fairy sister in the hearts of a generation~"
Gu Wei praised.
Liu Yifei felt a little embarrassed by what Gu Wei said. She smiled shyly and lowered her head to drink a sip of water.
After the dinner, the two chatted like old friends and had a great time.
The two were about to separate, and Gu Wei couldn't help but say something.
"Sister Yifei, have you ever thought about acting in a TV series again?
Your original image of Little Dragon Girl on screen has always been a classic in my mind."
Liu Yifei frowned slightly when she heard this and lowered her head to think for a while.
“I don’t know, I always wanted to prove myself in movies before, and my mother also asked me to take on movies, but actually I think the TV series I did before were also good.
Let’s see what fate brings later~”
After the meal, it was getting dark.
The two people said goodbye, made an appointment to meet again next time, and then got into their cars and left.
The next morning, Gu Wei boarded a plane to Shanghai.
After getting off the plane, I rushed to the crew of "My Sunshine".
But when he arrived outside the crew, he was unexpectedly surrounded by reporters who had been waiting there.
"Gu Wei, may I ask if you and Liu Yifei are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?"
"Are you guys in a relationship?"
"You had dinner together last night, were you on a date?"
“.”
The sudden situation left Gu Wei confused. After being asked some questions by the media, his assistant checked today's news on the Internet. He then learned that he had dinner with Liu Yifei last night, and the paparazzi captured the two of them parting ways and leaving the restaurant.
Although the camera was a little blurry, we could indeed recognize the two people in it as Gu Wei and Liu Yifei.
So early this morning, news about the two people dating and having a scandal spread all over the Internet.
#The popular young man meets the fairy sister at night, and his secret love affair may be exposed! #
#New director Gu Wei is dating popular actress Liu Yifei, and their behavior and demeanor are very intimate~#
#Liu Yifei and popular star Gu Wei had a late-night secret meeting, which may become another sister-brother relationship in the entertainment industry! #
##
Everyone is a clickbait, with all kinds of sensational headlines. When you click on them, you will see a few paparazzi photos, a brief introduction to the identities of the two people, and then all kinds of unreliable speculations.
As for entertainment media, they only start with a picture and all the content is made up, so Gu Wei is not surprised.
This is probably Liu Yifei's fault. Although Gu Wei has been very popular since his movie became a hit before the New Year, his schedule has been too jumpy. He is often in Beijing today and Shanghai tomorrow, running around everywhere.
No paparazzi can follow him all the time. If they can't dig up any explosive news, the cost will be too high.
Moreover, he protects his privacy very well when he goes out, and masks, sunglasses and baseball caps are indispensable.
Liu Yifei had been staying at home in Beijing, and it was probably a paparazzi who was lurking around her who followed her outside the hotel.
After understanding what happened, Gu Wei didn't care too much.
Even if hard evidence is presented in the entertainment industry, some people will still argue. Besides, Gu Wei did nothing this time; the two of them just had a meal.
"Dear friends from the media, I just want to tell you once, Liu Yifei and I are good friends who met last year while filming 'Blade of the Assassin'.
We are not in a relationship, we are just ordinary friends.
Yesterday was also a small gathering with friends after we returned to Beijing after the Chinese New Year.
I hope everyone will stop making groundless speculations.
Thank you everyone! "
After saying these words, Gu Wei ignored the media's reaction and entered the crew under the escort of the staff.
Gu Wei thought about it and decided that he had to discuss this matter with Liu Yifei.
So he took out his cell phone and called her.
Liu Yifei on the other end of the phone saw the online news before Gu Wei.
She had been at home and found these reports when she got up in the morning and went online.
But like Gu Wei, she didn't care too much. In the entertainment industry, no one would pay attention to you unless you are a nobody.
It is normal for first-line stars like Gu Wei and Liu Yifei to have an occasional scandal.
Moreover, Liu Yifei has been subjected to various attacks online since her debut. Someone once said that she was a transgender, and it is rare that there are netizens who actually believed it.
She has become accustomed to this, and this little scandal is nothing to her.
The two of them spoke with one voice, and she even said a few words to comfort Gu Wei.
In Liu Yifei's opinion, Gu Wei had only been in the industry for over a year, and he might not be able to withstand much pressure from public opinion. So, as a senior, she counseled him and told him not to take these entertainment news seriously.
The conversation made Gu Wei feel a little amused and confused, and he felt like a little milk dog and a younger man.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifei's mood did not fluctuate much, and she was still reading quietly in the room.
Liu Xiaoli pushed the door open and walked in from outside.
"Yifei, have you seen today's news?"
Liu Yifei closed the book and looked up at her mother.
"I saw it. I was accidentally photographed yesterday when I was having dinner with Gu Wei. It's no big deal. I just spoke to Gu Wei on the phone. If any reporters ask about it later, I'll just explain it."
Liu Xiaoli nodded after hearing this. She knew that Liu Yifei had gone out to have dinner with Gu Wei, and she didn't think the rumors reported by the media had much impact. They were all groundless rumors. If she ignored them, the matter would slowly subside.
"What do you think of Gu Wei?"
"It's pretty good. He's very gentle and talented. We get along quite well."
Liu Yifei thought for a moment and said.
"I heard from some people in the industry that the film Detective Chinatown was actually controlled and invested by his company, and the film could make at least 200 million yuan in profit."
"Mom, why are you thinking about this? It doesn't matter to us how much money we have."
Liu Yifei was a little unhappy. She felt that her mother was too utilitarian and concerned about the wrong things.
"Silly girl, money has nothing to do with us.
Mom just said that he is capable and talented, and with so much money, the company will definitely start some big projects in the future, and maybe then he will have connections."
Liu Xiaoli said this earnestly.
Liu Yifei didn't say anything either. She knew her mother's good intentions, but she didn't want to measure the people around her by their usefulness.
