Chapter 203 Unknowingly Becoming a Top Star
On December 28, the Baidu Entertainment Boiling Point 2014 award winners list was announced online.
This list is jointly created by Baidu, the world's largest Chinese search engine and the largest Chinese website, and Hunan Satellite TV, China's No. 1 entertainment media. It is the most influential online inventory in China.
Based on Baidu's 400 million users, billions of searches per day, 365 days a year, and rigorous statistical analysis, nearly 20 awards in the music, film, and television industries were generated.
This award is the fairest and the most unfair. As an actor, it does not look at your acting skills or whether the films you have made are good or bad. It only looks at your online data for the whole year.
Data only theory.
This year's list includes the Best Director award to Ning Hao, the Best Actor award to Xie Tingfeng, and the Best Actress award to Zhao Wei.
Gu Wei won the Most Popular Actor award, while the Most Popular Actress award went to Yang Mi.
The Best Group Award goes to the three young boys who emerged this year, TFBOYS.
Of the two who returned from South Korea, Lu Han won the Asia Popular Idol Award.
Li Jiaheng also did not fall behind and won the Best Quality Idol Award.
It can be said that 2014 was the year when the popular young actors in the domestic entertainment industry began to become rapidly popular.
Although Lu Han and Li Jiaheng have no works released this year, the huge popularity they brought from EXO allowed them to develop smoothly as soon as they returned to China.
It seems that mainland film and television companies are optimistic about their future development and have extended olive branches, hoping to catch the express train of soaring traffic.
In June, Li Jiaheng made his first film after returning to China, starring as the male lead in the love movie "There Is a Place Only We Know" directed by Xu Jinglei.
In July, she sang the ending theme song "Time Cooks Rain" in the released "Tiny Times 3: The Last Dance".
In August, "Summer Is Coming", directed by Korean film director Cho Jin-kyu, confirmed that Li Jiaheng would play Xia Mu, and the first-generation top star Han Geng would play his supporting role.
In December, he attended the launch conference of the movie "Old Cannon" held in Beijing, and officially confirmed his cooperation with Feng Xiaogang to star in the movie "Old Cannon".
His teammate Lu Han was no exception. As soon as he returned to China, a Weibo post he forwarded received more than 13 million comments, setting a Guinness World Record for the most comments on a blog post.
Also making his film debut, he starred in the Sino-Korean co-production "Back to 20" directed by director Chen Zhengdao.
The theme song for the movie "Our Tomorrow" was released, and the 50-minute MV has exceeded 1 million views.
The TFBOYS group debuted in 2013 and released a mini album "Youth Training Manual" in July this year after a year of preparation.
Its title song of the same name [Youth Training Manual] has become so popular that it has almost become a household name. It not only won the Scream iQiyi Night Annual Golden Melody Award that year, but also won the Top Ten Golden Melody Award at the 22nd Eastern Billboard Music Festival.
The three little ones also became popular because of this and gained countless fans of their older sisters and mothers.
In addition, there are some people like Yang Yang and Ou Hao who have filmed movies with Gu Wei, and Li Yifeng, who had his roles taken away but eventually got the role in "The Lost Tomb" because of signing with Huanrui. They will gradually become famous in the near future.
Unfortunately, judging from this year, no matter how hard they try, among the group of young male stars born in the 1990s, Gu Wei will always be the one to overshadow them.
Gu Wei, who debuted for two years, is not very old. Born in 1992, he is only 22 years old. However, in the past two years, his achievements in movies and TV series have made him soar to the top position of young male actors born in the 1990s, winning the favor of countless fans.
Compared with others, his current popularity, popularity, and number of fans alone are far superior to others, not to mention that Gu Wei's film and television dramas are basically all hits.
Of course, Gu Wei has never compared himself with other popular stars. He just wants to make good movies and TV series.
But his age and image destined others to regard him as an imaginary enemy.
In the entertainment industry, it is difficult for two stars of the same age and with similar acting styles to become friends.
Just like the 85 flowers, even though Yang Mi, Tang Yan, and Liu Shishi became good friends because of filming a TV series, they inevitably parted ways because of interests after they became famous.
The cake of the entertainment industry is so small. If you eat one more bite, he will eat one less bite.
For the same film or television role, either Yang Mi or Tang Yan can be used, and it is inevitable that they will compete with each other. After a few times, even the best friends will become strangers.
Especially now that Gu Wei is at the highest position, most of the top resources for young male stars are tilted towards him, which makes other ambitious people want to compare themselves with him.
January 1st, New Year’s Day, the crew thoughtfully arranged only half a day of filming.
After nearly two months of filming, "Love O2O" will be wrapped soon. Taking advantage of the holidays, the director also let everyone take a short break.
Several satellite TV stations had originally asked Gu Wei to participate in their New Year's Eve concerts, but he refused them all.
One reason is that he is currently filming and has no time, and the other is that the director team of this year's Spring Festival Gala has invited Gu Wei.
For year-end parties like this, there's no need to go if you can perform at the Spring Festival Gala or the New Year's Eve concert.
At noon, everyone finished filming the last scenes of the day and ended the day's filming task with the director's click.
"Does everyone have plans for today?
If you don’t have plans, you can follow me and we’ll have a New Year’s Day party together.”
After finishing the filming, Gu Wei talked to his friends in the crew.
"Well, I have something to do, so I won't be with you today."
Cui Hang, who plays Gu Wei's roommate in the play, said.
"There's something wrong with you, kid!"
Gu Wei patted his shoulder.
"No, I just made an appointment with a friend~"
Cui Hang said with a somewhat frivolous smile.
"Okay, then I won't take you this time. Don't play too late, you still have to film tomorrow."
Everyone else had nothing to do. Since none of them were native Shanghai residents and had no relatives or classmates, they had nowhere to go for the holidays, so they were naturally happy for Gu Wei to make arrangements.
Gu Wei brought the crew members and called Reba, who was still in Shanghai, and they all came to his house in COFCO Seaview Community.
It was a rare half-day off on the set, so Gu Wei planned to have a small party and celebrate the holiday at the same time.
We took the elevator to the 32nd floor, which is a large flat.
As soon as he entered the door, Mao Xiaotong exclaimed.
"Gu Wei, your house is really big."
After changing shoes at the entrance, I walked into the oversized living room.
One side of the living room is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, from which you can see the entire view of the Huangpu River.
"This house has a great river view and is very expensive!"
Reba, who studied at the Shanghai Theatre Academy for four years, is most familiar with Shanghai's housing prices. In her impression, the only property with a first-line river view is the famous Tangchen Yipin.
