Chapter 155 Vacation
Early July is the hottest time of the year, but Bincheng, as a coastal city, is warm in winter and cool in summer. Although it is in the north, the temperature difference between the four seasons is not too big.
The sea regulates the temperature of coastal areas like a huge air conditioner, allowing people living here to have a more comfortable life.
The blue sky is cloudless and the sea is sparkling under the sunshine, which is very beautiful.
Flocks of white seagulls fly freely in the sky, the sea water keeps surging and hitting the shore, and the waves roll up white foam.
There was no tourist on the golden beach, only a few white villas standing not far away.
In a villa closest to the beach, Gu Wei was sleeping soundly on the big bed in the master bedroom.
"Love you walking alone in the dark alley~
I love the way you don’t kneel~”
The ringing of the bedside phone woke up Gu Wei who was sleeping soundly. He frowned, rubbed his eyes, and reached out to grab the phone on the bedside.
Nazha, who was sleeping next to him, was also awakened by the sound of the phone. She opened her sleepy eyes and looked at Gu Wei.
Gu Wei glanced at the incoming call. It was his agent Yang Liwen. He cleared his throat and clicked on the call.
"Hello~ Sister Yang, good morning~"
"Boss Gu, did I disturb your rest?"
Hearing Gu Wei's greeting, Yang Liwen on the other end of the phone knew that she must have disturbed her boss's sleep.
On one side of the bedroom is a huge floor-to-ceiling window facing the sea. Although the curtains are drawn, sunlight can still shine into the room through some gaps.
Gu Wei looked at the light spot on the bed and knew that it was probably late. His habit of saying good morning just after waking up exposed his current state.
"Haha~ I've been on vacation here for the past two days and got up a little late. Sister Yang, is there anything going on at the company?"
Gu Wei laughed and changed the subject.
"It's like this, Mr. Gu, Pepsi Cola has invited you to be their brand spokesperson."
Yang Liwen followed the boss's instructions and directly explained her purpose.
"That's great news. Is the invitation from PepsiCo to be a brand spokesperson or a spokesperson for a sub-category?"
“I’m a brand spokesperson.”
After hearing what his agent said, Gu Wei suddenly became alert.
As one of the giants in the world's beverage industry, PepsiCo has been engaged in a battle of two kinds of colas with Coca-Cola for several years.
Unfortunately, in the early stages of the battle between the two colas, Pepsi-Cola had been doing poorly. One of the reasons was that its competitive tactics were not innovative enough, and its advertising competition was not effective.
Since entering China, PepsiCo has positioned itself well. It has always adhered to the principle of inviting the most popular celebrities among young people to be its spokespersons, hoping to attract young people through this method.
Starting in 1988, Pepsi invited Zhang Guorong, an idol superstar who was at the peak of his career in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia at the time, to be the first spokesperson for the Asian region.
Later, Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, Zhou Jielun and other hottest Hong Kong and Taiwan stars in those years joined the Pepsi star family at different times.
In 2008, Huang Xiaoming became the first mainland Pepsi superstar to endorse Pepsi. Previously, only Hong Kong and Taiwan stars were endorsed as the spokesperson for Pepsi. Pepsi also hoped to further deepen its presence in the mainland market through this.
Before inviting Gu Wei, Pepsi's current spokespersons were Yang Mi and Han Geng, the first generation top star in the domestic entertainment industry in the past two years, who left Super Junior.
It can be said that the endorsement invitation from Pepsi is not just an endorsement, but also means that in the eyes of the manufacturer, you are already the hottest, most popular, and most popular star among young people in the entertainment industry at this time.
"What's the price Pepsi offered?"
Gu Wei asked calmly, as if the good news of Pepsi's endorsement did not have much impact on him.
"Since the release of Swords of Legends, your offer for external endorsements has increased to 18 million for two years. Pepsi was very sincere and signed an invitation contract based on our offer.
The only thing is, they only want to sign you to a two-year endorsement contract."
Because Gu Wei's previous endorsement contracts were all signed for one year, Yang Liwen initially thought that her boss was just wasting money. After all, when it comes to endorsements, celebrities like to sign contracts for as long as possible.
Later, Gu Wei took only two years to grow from a young actor who had just debuted to the most popular young artist in the entertainment industry. Only then did Yang Liwen admire Gu Wei's foresight.
"It doesn't matter. For Pepsi, two years is fine. After all, what I care about most is not the advertising fees, but Pepsi's online publicity and offline advertising."
"I understand, there is one more thing."
Hearing the agent's hesitation on the other end of the phone, Gu Wei frowned and asked.
"Sister Yang, if you have anything else to say, just tell me directly."
"Mr. Gu, I don't mean to disturb your vacation, but Director Su Youpeng called. Filming for 'Left Ear' is about to start in a few days, and he wants to know when you, the male lead, can join the crew."
After hearing what Yang Liwen said, Gu Wei slapped his forehead. He had been having too much fun these days and almost forgot about the movie "Left Ear".
"I understand. Book me a flight for tomorrow. I'll pack and fly directly to Fujian Province."
The filming location chosen by director Su Youpeng for "Left Ear" is Dongshan Island, the second largest island in Fujian Province.
It is also the seventh largest island in China, located between Xiamen and Shantou.
The bay there is vast, the beach is flat, and there are shady trees, which is very characteristic of southern coastal scenery.
In order to find a place that fits the background of the story for his film, director Su Youpeng visited many cities and finally chose Dongshan Island.
After hanging up the phone, Nazha, who had woken up a long time ago and was lying on the side listening to the call, spoke.
"Are you leaving?"
These few days of vacation and rest are also the happiest days for Nazha in more than half a year.
Knowing that Gu Wei was going to work, she felt a little reluctant.
"There's a movie about to start filming, I have to join the crew."
Gu Wei turned sideways and lowered his head, gently stroking Nazha's hair and speaking softly.
"Can we go on vacation like this again in the future?"
"Of course, there will be many opportunities in the future.
Next time I will take you to another place, I promise it will be more beautiful than this place."
"Well, I'll listen to you~"
After attending the premiere of "Breakup Guru" in Beijing, Gu Wei happened to have some free time.
I don't have to join the crew to film, and the company's affairs are almost handled.
So he took Nazha, who also had little work, out on vacation to rest.
Gu Wei bought this seaside villa at the beginning of the year, but he has never had time to live in it.
Although Bincheng is one of the best coastal cities in the north, its housing prices cannot be compared with those in Beijing and Shanghai.
The sea view villa purchased by Gu Wei cost only 15 million yuan including decoration, which he considered to be the best value for money.
This ultra-luxurious sea view villa is located in the remote southeast corner of the city. There are tall cliffs on both sides of the villa, blocking all roads, and the front faces the blue sea.
The whole house has three floors above and two floors below. The first floor is an open structure. There is a small platform facing the sea that extends directly to the living room.
In front of the small platform is a huge infinity pool. Beside the pool is a set of sofas and a small coffee table, as well as lounge chairs and parasols.
The bedroom where Gu Wei and his friends rested was on the second floor. When they opened the curtains, they could see the huge floor-to-ceiling window and directly see the platform on the first floor below, the swimming pool and even the endless blue sea.
The villa is decorated in a modern minimalist style. Although it does not look luxurious, it is simple and practical. The furniture, appliances, kitchen and bathroom inside are all major domestic and foreign brands, making Gu Wei and his wife who live here live very comfortably.
Moreover, the unique location of this villa makes it very private. Because of its unique geographical location, no one can peek at the side of the villa facing the sea from any angle. This is also one of the reasons why Gu Wei bought it.
Although they knew that today was the last day of the holiday, the two of them did not feel any sense of urgency after getting up. They still enjoyed their vacation life leisurely as they did every day.
Gu Wei made some bread, fried eggs and milk as breakfast for the two of them.
After dinner, Nazha, who was listless, sat on the sofa, hugged Gu Wei's arm, curled up in Gu Wei's arms, and asked him to watch TV series with her.
It's strange to say, because of Gu Wei, Nazha is obviously not interested in Yang Mi, but when she is chasing the TV series, she especially likes to watch "Gu Jian Qi Tan". When she sees the exciting parts and the handsome performance of "Baili Tu Su" played by Gu Wei on the screen, she will also be excited, and then look up and kiss Gu Wei.
Gu Wei sat on the sofa, holding Nazha in his arms, looking down at her with a strange look.
"If my fans knew you were such a fan of dramas, they would probably be envious to death~"
"Haha~, I'm making good use of the resources around me. It gives me a sense of immersion and satisfies my cravings in no time!"
Nazha looked at Gu Wei complacently and explained with pride.
It was almost noon when they got up, and after watching two episodes of TV series, it was already afternoon.
Nazha sat up from the sofa and stretched, her beautiful figure clearly visible to Gu Wei.
"Gu Wei, the weather is so nice today, let's go swimming~"
"OK!"
After that, the two of them went into the house and changed into their swimsuits.
Nazha changed into a black bikini and wore a pair of big sunglasses on her face. Her exposed skin was as white as snow, her long legs were round and slender, and her belly was flat without a trace of fat.
She didn't tie her hair up, but let it fall behind her head. She looked at Gu Wei with a big smile on her face. She was extremely beautiful and full of youthful vitality.
Gu Wei was simple, wearing a pair of black men's boxer shorts, revealing his good figure that was usually hidden under his clothes.
From Nazha's perspective, Gu Wei has deep facial features, sword-like eyebrows, eyes like stars, neat short hair, a height of 1.85 meters, slender muscles but not overly bloated, lines like sculptures, and fair skin with a healthy glow.
As she watched, she couldn't help but walk closer and touch his muscles.
"Hey~ what are you doing?"
Gu Wei looked at her somewhat infatuated look and asked.
"I've always been confused. I don't usually see you exercising, so why are you in such good shape?"
Nazha's face was full of eagerness. Although Gu Wei's figure was no secret to her and she could see it every day in recent days, every time she saw his whole body and face like now, it would bring her a little shock.
It can be said that when a man is handsome to a certain extent and has an excellent body, he is a real killer for women.
There is an ancient allusion called "Pan An Throwing Fruit", which tells the story of a handsome man named Pan An who went out on the street. All the women on the street stopped to look at him, and then put the fruits in their hands into the basket on his body, so that he would return home with a full load every time he went out on the street.
It can be seen that if a woman becomes lustful, there is really no place for men to go. The reason why you don’t see a woman’s lustfulness normally is just that you cannot meet her requirements.
"I practice occasionally, but it's probably more of a natural talent."
"And I always feel that you have become more handsome these days than before. You have an indescribable temperament."
"Haha, maybe it's your illusion.
I’ve always been handsome, okay~”
"Really, I feel like the skin on your face is better than mine right now!"
As she spoke, Nazha touched Gu Wei's cheek with her hand. Her big eyes looked at Gu Wei's angular face, feeling his delicate skin without any pores.
"Why do I feel like you've become more and more lecherous these past few days? Now you've turned into a little slut~
Don’t you want to swim? Your clothes are already changed, why don’t you go quickly?”
Gu Wei grabbed Nazha's hand on his face and urged her.
On a panel that only he can see.
[Physique] and [Appearance] are both 92 points.
During his vacation these few days, Gu Wei took the time to improve both of these items by 3 points.
Each additional point from 90 to 94 requires 10 million experience points.
Over the past year, the more than 60 million experience points gained through buying houses and other consumption have suddenly become a fraction of what they were.
Originally, Gu Wei wanted to accumulate 100 million experience points to upgrade a certain skill to master level and see what the effect would be.
But now it seems that the skills of the [Mastery] level are enough for him, and he is in the entertainment industry and often needs to go through many battles. Improving his physical fitness is very important, not to mention his appearance.
He found that after reaching level 89, the improvements in his [physique] and [appearance] did not cause any changes in his appearance or body shape.
It seems that an 89-point [Appearance] score is already impeccable in terms of facial features.
After the improvement, he just has a certain temperament that is invisible and intangible but definitely exists.
This makes him look even more gentle and jade-like than before. It is not an exaggeration to describe the current Gu Wei as "a man as beautiful as jade, a young man unparalleled in the world".
The improvement in [Physical Fitness] made him feel a slight improvement in strength and reaction, but more importantly, his physical strength and recovery ability improved.
After hearing what Gu Wei said, Nazha stopped being a fangirl and followed him to the platform in front of the villa.
She first lay down on a lounge chair by the swimming pool and asked Gu Wei to help her apply sunscreen.
Of course Gu Wei was willing to help with this kind of thing. He carefully helped her apply the cream on her back and thighs, and with Nazha's help, he also applied some on himself.
After everything was ready, both of them went into the water. Gu Wei had been learning to swim since he was a child and his technique was quite good. Coupled with his strong physical strength and slender figure, he rolled in the water like a dragon after entering the water. His swimming posture gave people a feeling of being full of power. He swam quickly from one side of the pool to the other without any effort.
Nazha has another style. Although she is from the frontier, her swimming skills are not bad. After entering the water, she slowly paddles with her hands, gently kicks with her feet, and occasionally sinks her head into the water. With her curvy figure, she looks like a mermaid.
The two swam normally for a while. Nazha felt a little tired, so she stopped and splashed water on Gu Wei. Gu Wei fought back without any hesitation, and the two began to play in the swimming pool.
Good times always pass quickly, and the sun slowly sets to the west from the center of the sky.
Tired from playing, Nazha came out of the swimming pool, wearing a pair of big sunglasses, and lay on a bench by the pool to sunbathe.
On the small table next to the bench was a fruit plate and a glass of fresh orange juice with ice.
The afternoon sun wasn't that strong, and she applied thick enough sunscreen so she didn't get tanned in the photos.
Gu Wei had changed out of his swimsuit and put on a loose and baggy home outfit. He was fiddling with a barbecue stove on the platform, with ignited charcoal underneath and a mesh metal grill pan on top.
Large chunks of steak and skewers of lamb were all placed on the baking tray. Gu Wei turned them over from time to time to ensure that the meat was heated evenly.
After a while, the aroma of barbecue spread.
Nazha didn't even bother to lie down, she quickly got up and came to Gu Wei's side, staring at the lamb skewers on the baking tray, waiting for Gu Wei to finish grilling them.
The sky gradually darkened, but the sea was still beautiful in the twilight. Gu Wei and Nazha ate skewers while enjoying the cool sea breeze and watching the sun slowly sink into the sea in the distance.
In this situation, looking at Gu Wei who was taking good care of her, Naza wished that time would stop at this moment.
Although she didn't drink any alcohol that night, she was completely intoxicated by it.
On a summer night, the stars twinkle in the sky and the city lights in the distance are bright.
The nearby seaside was dark, and only the bedroom on the second floor of the villa seemed to have a hazy light through the thick curtains.
The sea at night is a little more explosive than during the day. Driven by the sea breeze, waves hit the beach one after another. The white foam raised by the waves rolls with the waves, and finally surges onto the shore, and then slowly disappears.
