Chapter 239 I think that guy is okay
The news has already reached the top of the trending searches, and Gu Wei has of course also heard about it.
At this moment, he was sitting in the office, watching the news and browsing netizens' comments.
[Oh my god, Gu Wei and Yang Mi are together? This is a sister-brother relationship, right? Yang Mi is 86, so she's 6 years older than Gu Wei. Embracing two gold bricks?]
The Gu Jian couple are finally together! I always say they're a perfect match. Handsome man, beautiful woman, a match made in heaven!
How could this old woman Yang Mi be with our Gu Wei? This must be fake news! This rumor will kill our whole family!
I'm a 'bee' and I'm being honest. Gu Wei and Mi Mi are quite a good match. They already had a strong CP feeling in Swords of Legends, so it's no surprise that they're together now!
[Haha, the person himself hasn't responded yet, yet they're just trying to force a connection based on a few blurry photos. This news came out right after the press conference for "Blade Master 2" ended. It's obviously hype!]
[This is definitely hype for the movie. Waiting for these two to come out and refute the rumors!]
【.】
Netizens said all kinds of things, there were his fans, Yang Mi’s fans, and CP fans of the two, but there were more passers-by, spectators, waiting for what would happen next.
As I was watching, a phone call came in. It was Yang Mi.
"Hello~Miss Mi?"
"Have you read the news?"
Yang Mi's tone on the other end of the phone was calm, as if the scandal had no effect on her.
"Of course I did. We're the top trending search right now, and it didn't cost a penny. Wow, we made a killing!"
Gu Wei said.
"What are you going to do?"
"Look, Sister Mi, are you going to find an opportunity to clarify, or are you going to hold off on responding and just use this rumor to generate buzz?"
Gu Wei gave advice.
Yang Mi on the other end of the phone was silent for a while.
"Let's not respond yet. Like you said, it's free popularity, so why not use it? It can also be used to advertise [Embroidered Spring Blade 2]!"
"Miss Mi is so generous. I will definitely tell Director Lu Yang about this. He really made the right choice by choosing you to play the female lead."
Gu Wei said with a smile.
After chatting for a few more words and making an appointment for tomorrow's flight, Yang Mi hung up the phone.
In fact, she called Gu Wei to test his thoughts. Although she had always maintained a relationship more than friendship with Gu Wei and the two had made it very clear before, Yang Mi might have really wanted to develop a relationship with Gu Wei.
She had expressed this to Gu Wei as early as the filming of "Gu Jian Qi Tan". At that time, Gu Wei was not as famous as he is now, and the company was only in its infancy.
Unfortunately, Gu Wei didn't respond at all. She could see at that time that Gu Wei was a complete scumbag.
Now two years have passed, and Gu Wei's development is getting better and better. He is even more famous than her. His company is also developing rapidly, and he has a certain fame and status in the circle.
He is young and rich. The investment in "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" made him earn more than 200 million yuan. Judging from his nonchalant attitude, Yang Mi is not surprised that his net worth is ten times this amount.
It can be said that Gu Wei has all the conditions met and has a fatal attraction to every female star in the entertainment industry.
Having money, good looks and resources, what could be more attractive than this?
Yang Mi was of course no exception. Just when this incident came out, she took the opportunity to test Gu Wei's attitude. Sure enough, there was no change from two years ago. He was an open scumbag.
In his eyes, the relationship between the two of them has always been a pure one between a man and a woman.
Forget it. After confirming Gu Wei's feelings once again, Yang Mi didn't feel disappointed. She was not a love-brained person anyway.
If they can't be lovers, they can still be "good friends". Anyway, he is handsome, has a good body, and is physically strong. He can also help her and introduce her to some high-quality resources. No matter how you look at it, she won't lose out. It's just that she can't have him all to herself.
As soon as these thoughts came into her mind, she calmed down and began to think about how to use this scandal to bring herself the greatest benefit.
In fact, for Yang Mi, who is single now, the scandal with Gu Wei is more beneficial than harmful to her.
The first thing is the popularity. The love scandal between two top stars will produce explosive news effects and can attract long-term attention to themselves.
For Yang Mi now, she is more of a star than an actor.
As an actor, all you have to do is act honestly and let your work speak for itself.
But being a celebrity is different. You have to appear in front of the public often and maintain your popularity, otherwise you will easily become out of date.
Even their works are just tools for them to maintain their popularity.
The one who does the best in this regard is Fan Bingbing. She relies entirely on hype, walking the red carpet, and all kinds of stunning press releases to turn herself into a woman who lives on the hot search list. In this way, she has become a top female star in the country.
From Bingbing to Fan Ye.
This path also has certain reference value for Yang Mi. She has been doing this. After the scandal with Gu Wei, she can save a lot of money on buying press releases.
Thinking of this, she stood up and prepared to find Zeng Jia to discuss how to maximize the benefits.
In the company's corridor, Reba walked towards us.
"Miss~"
She shouted with a smile on her face.
"Um"
Yang Mi nodded with a smile.
"Sister Mi, are you and Gu Wei really together?"
After saying hello, Reba asked directly, her fair little face full of curiosity.
Yang Mi glanced at her and then said.
"It's just a scandal, we're just friends."
"Oh~"
Reba suddenly realized.
After saying that, Yang Mi left.
Reba turned her back and looked excited, her white and tender little fists clenched slightly in front of her chest.
"I said it was impossible, it must be a rumor."
Yang Mi, who had already walked over, had a blank expression on her face. She could see through Reba's little thoughts at a glance.
The little girl has some ideas, but unfortunately not much. If she has more contact with Gu Wei in the future, it will be a waste.
When she arrived at Zeng Jia's office, she pushed the door open and went in.
"Mimi, you're here. I was just looking for you~"
"The rumors are false, Gu Wei and I are friends, and I have already contacted him.
It's spreading like wildfire online right now, and Gu Wei will cooperate. How can we maximize our profits?"
Without any nonsense, Yang Mi got straight to the point and stated the matter.
Zeng Jia was stunned for a moment after hearing what Yang Mi said, then lowered her head and thought about it.
"Actually, considering the two of you are in this situation right now, why not just let it flow and announce your relationship naturally, then wait a few months until the excitement has subsided before announcing your breakup.
Gu Wei's popularity is much better than yours, and having a relationship with him can also improve your popularity."
Yang Mi frowned and said:
"I don't think it's possible to admit to the relationship. Gu Wei won't agree to it.
He has too many female fans, so it's okay to have rumors, but if he officially announces the relationship, the loss will be too great."
"Then you can only hold back for now. It just so happens that you two are filming 'Assassin's Blade 2' together. Say some ambiguous things during the interview, and refuse to answer when the reporters ask, giving them plenty of room for imagination."
"I understand. I'll meet Gu Wei."
After coming out of Zeng Jia's office, Yang Mi called Gu Wei again and told him about his idea. Naturally, Gu Wei agreed.
"Miss Mi, if we don't respond, this rumor will only stay hot for a month or so at most. If there's no further news, the enthusiasm of passersby will fade, and the only ones left paying attention will be our fans.
However, I will need to pair up with new partners when I release new works, so if reporters ask me about this again, I may have to clarify it.”
Gu Wei said it in advance: the entertainment industry is all about manipulating public opinion and traffic.
"I know. It won't prevent you, Mr. Gu, from dating other female celebrities."
Although he knew that what Gu Wei said made sense and that he would do the same when the time came, Yang Mi was still a little annoyed after hearing him put it so clearly.
I, the beautiful Yang, just had a scandal with you, and you immediately started thinking about pairing up with someone else in the future. Don’t you have any regrets at all?
"Haha, sister Mi, please understand. It's all for work."
In the evening, Yang Mi returned home and had dinner with his parents.
At the dinner table, Yang's mother looked at Yang Mi who was concentrating on eating and seemed to be hesitant to speak, then turned to look at Yang's father.
"Hey, Mimi, you're going out to film tomorrow, right?"
Old Yang looked at his wife, coughed lightly and asked.
"Oh, yes, the crew will start filming in two days, and I have to fly to Zaozhuang tomorrow."
Yang Mi said normally.
"Who are you going with tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Yang Mi raised his head and found that his parents were looking at him.
"Dad, what do you want to ask?"
"Look, I was taking a walk in the neighborhood today and heard some neighbors talking about you. When I came back, your mom and I checked the internet and it was all news about you.
Are you really in love with that guy named Gu Wei?"
Because of his daughter, Yang Mi, who is a famous star, his father, Old Yang, is a real celebrity resident in the Jinmao Mansion community, and many elderly people in the community know him.
On the contrary, Yang Mi does not often appear in everyone's sight because he is busy with work all year round.
"No, it's all just rumors on the internet. We are just ordinary friends. Aren't we going to work together on a drama soon?"
Yang Mi put down his chopsticks and explained to his parents.
"What about the internet saying he stayed overnight in your building in our complex?"
Yang Mi's mother asked.
"Mom, someone bought a house in our neighborhood, a large flat on the top floor of my building. They just went back to their own home."
Of course, it was not appropriate to tell her parents about her relationship with Gu Wei, so she could only explain that they were just friends.
"Then why don't you come forward and explain? Now this news has spread everywhere."
Old Yang asked.
"We have a collaborative drama coming up soon, so this can be considered as early promotion for the film, which will be beneficial to both of us and the film.
I’m just not responding now, and will clarify when I have a chance.”
Yang Mi explained.
After hearing his daughter say this, Old Yang stopped asking questions. Instead, Yang Mi's mother became more energetic.
"I looked it up online. That guy named Gu Wei is very handsome and successful in his career. Didn't he work with you on that TV series before? What was it called?"
"【Gu Jian Qi Tan】"
Yang Mi reminded.
“Yes, it’s [Gu Jian Qi Tan]. Although I haven’t watched the TV series, I heard from people in the community that it’s very popular.
Mimi, have you ever considered developing a relationship with Gu Wei?"
"Mom~ Gu Wei is 6 years younger than me. We are just good friends."
"So what if she's six years younger? My daughter is so pretty and capable, and there will be plenty of people who like her when she's older."
"Don't worry about it. My daughter naturally has her own ideas."
Yang's father said.
"How can I not worry? She'll be 30 next year. As a mother, I naturally have to be concerned about when my daughter will find a boyfriend!"
Even big stars cannot escape the pressure from their parents to find a partner when they get older.
Yang Mi felt helpless.
"Mom, don't worry about these things. I'm very busy now. I just opened the company and my career is just starting. I don't have time to care about these dramas and love affairs.
Besides, this is the current situation in my circle. Most people are single. If I had a boyfriend or got married, many fans would leave, which would also be a blow to my career."
"My daughter is right. She's busy with her career now, and it's already very difficult. Let's not add any more burden to her."
Yang's father said that he could understand Yang Mi's choice.
"I'm concerned about Mimi too. If she gets older, it'll be hard to find someone~"
Mother Yang said in a low voice that she still held the old idea that it would be difficult for girls to find a partner and get married when they got older.
"Mom, my circle is different. Everyone gets married late. There's no such thing as it being hard to find a partner at a certain age. Don't worry about it. I know what's going on."
