Chapter 341 No More Worry About Losing
The next morning, the warm winter sun shone into the house.
The bedroom was messy, with a red tulle dress crumpled into a ball and thrown casually on the floor.
On the soft big bed, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure and attractive curves was curled up in the quilt and sleeping soundly.
Although the ends of her hair were a little messy, her expression was calm and her breathing was deep, and it was obvious that she had a very good sleep quality.
The cell phone on the bedside table suddenly rang, and the continuous ringing music still woke up the beautiful woman in bed.
Her dark eyebrows slightly frowned, and then a pair of somewhat coquettish eyes slowly opened. She raised her head slightly to look in the direction of the phone and reached out to take it.
"Hello?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he started to speak in a hoarse voice.
"Mimi, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
There was a worried female voice on the other end of the line.
"Ahem~ It's nothing, I just caught a cold last night and my throat feels a bit uncomfortable this morning!"
Yang Mi cleared his throat and his voice became better.
"You have a magazine cover shoot this afternoon. Since you're not feeling well, would you like me to reschedule it?"
"Okay, let's change the time. I'm not feeling well today, so I need to take a break!"
After hearing what his agent said, Yang Mi went along with it.
"Do you want me to bring you some medicine?"
"Don't bother, it's a small matter~
And my parents’ house is right next door, so they have all kinds of medicine there.”
"Okay then, you should have a good rest. There is always time to work. Health is the most important thing."
After hanging up the phone with his agent, Yang Mi glanced at the time. It was almost noon. The sun was high outside the window and the sky was blue. It looked like the weather was very good.
She put down her phone, supported herself with her hands and sat up on the bed. The muscle aches coming from all over her body made her frown.
I slowly raised my arms and stretched, and I seemed to hear the crisp sound of my joints rubbing against each other.
The soft silk quilt on her body slid off, revealing a dazzling white color. Unfortunately, this stunning beauty was only revealed in the empty bedroom, and no one was lucky enough to see it at this time.
"Gu Wei really doesn't know how to be gentle with women~"
Yang Mi raised his hand and rubbed his neck, then turned his head left and right to move his cervical spine.
"This guy doesn't know how to get tired. If this happens again next time, I will definitely reject him~"
After moving around for a while, I felt much more relaxed. Thinking of Gu Wei's face and his almost perfect body in the eyes of girls, I took a deep breath.
"Forget it, remind him to be gentler next time."
Gu Wei was in a good mood when he arrived at the company early in the morning. After a night of friendly communication, he felt relaxed both physically and mentally.
The more Gu Wei came into contact with people, the more he realized that there was a huge difference in people's physiques.
Just like Nazha, although she has been with Gu Wei for the longest time, she is obviously a little bit of a loser in some aspects.
In contrast, Da Mimi's tolerance in this regard is at least that of two Nazas, so it's okay for her to be a little more unrestrained.
So everyone can enjoy the communication more. In two words, transparent!
When I sat down in the office, I first looked at the box office of "Assassin's Blade 2" yesterday, as well as the performance of various movies currently showing in the market.
On the 4th, a Hollywood movie "Sherlock Holmes: The Abominable Bride" was released, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, the actor who played "Doctor Strange".
Unfortunately, this kind of detective film has little market in China. On the first day of its release, it only earned more than 40 million yuan at the box office due to the IP of "Sherlock Holmes", and its reputation was a mess.
The box office started to plummet from the second day, and it was obvious that the film was a flop in the country.
This is not surprising. Gu Wei has seen this film and found it to be a movie made purely for fans, and it even has a certain degree of exclusion for non-fans.
All the plot settings are designed to evoke fans' nostalgia for the TV series, rather than to tell a self-consistent story.
It inexplicably weaves back and forth characters and plots from the TV series, and uses "Inception" to travel between two eras. The gorgeous shooting techniques cannot conceal the essence of this movie - this is a movie version of an extra-long advertisement created for the TV series "Sherlock Holmes".
The box office trends of other movies have not changed much, and are basically the same as everyone expected.
The single-day box office of [The Sword Identity 2] remains strong. After the first week, due to its extremely high reputation and countless publicity, it attracted many passers-by and fans to enter the theaters, so it still maintains a single-day performance of 40 to 50 million on weekdays. It is expected that by the end of the second week, it will reach the highest box office of 800 million that director Lu Yang originally expected.
"Boss, the two directors, Wanda, and Guangguang people are here."
The assistant knocked on the door and came in to remind him.
This morning was a film screening for [The Richest Man in Xihong City]. Wanda and Guangxian were the distributors found by Gu Wei. One was in charge of publicity, and the other had resources in theater scheduling.
Gu Wei hopes that "The Richest Man in Xihong City" will be released during this year's Spring Festival. Although the quality of the movie is good and the original version was successful at the box office, publicity and promotion work is still a top priority that cannot be ignored.
Moreover, this year's Spring Festival movie also has "The Mermaid", a super hit movie with a box office of over 3 billion yuan, so Gu Wei dare not be careless about his own movie.
In the company's screening room, the two-hour movie was quickly finished, and the constant laughter made the two directors sitting in the same row with Gu Wei feel more and more relaxed.
The show ended and the lights in the house came on.
"Mr. Gu, the films produced by your company have never disappointed us. This is an excellent comedy."
After watching the movie, Wang Changtian turned to Gu Wei beside him and said.
Mr. Zhang from Wanda, who was sitting on the other side of him, also looked at him with a smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with the quality of the movie.
"No, no, this is all thanks to the two directors. As the producer, I just paid a little money and put my name on it."
Gu Wei smiled and pushed directors Yan Fei and Peng Damo to the front.
[The Richest Man in Xihong City] is a film wholly produced by his company. The boss Gu Wei is listed as the nominal producer and of course he also makes a cameo appearance in the middle.
"The two directors are indeed very accomplished in comedy films. This year, they already had a film called 'Charlotte's Troubles' that grossed over 1 billion yuan, and 'The Richest Man in Xihong City' is another masterpiece of the same level."
Wang Chang praised gently with a face like Tian Wen.
"This comedy has a great advantage in being released during the Spring Festival. It's the kind of family-friendly film that's perfect for the whole family. It might even surpass 'Charlotte's Troubles' at the box office."
Mr. Zhang also expressed his approval.
Yan Fei and Peng Damu looked at each other, feeling somewhat flattered by the evaluation from the two industry leaders, and spoke modestly several times in succession.
After everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, Gu Wei and others held a small meeting to discuss the film promotion work that was about to begin.
Online publicity, offline promotion in theaters across the country, and roadshows by the main creative crew before and after the film’s release.
Guangguang is a true expert in this area, and with the cooperation of Wanda, we can definitely do it to perfection.
In addition, Gu Wei was not stingy in investing in publicity and promotion, and directly decided to allocate 60 million as publicity and promotion funds.
"Mr. Gu is really generous. As far as I know, Director Zhou's promotional budget for 'The Mermaid' this year was only 80 million. The production cost of his film is much higher than 'The Richest Man in Xihong City'."
Wang Changtian sighed when he heard the publicity and promotion funds that Gu Wei planned to put out.
The producers of "The Mermaid" are "China Film Co., Ltd." and Zhou Xingchi's own "Star Overseas Co., Ltd."
In addition to China Film Group and Hehe Films, the publicity and distribution company also involved Light Media, so Wang Changtian was very familiar with all the details of the film.
"I have confidence in the quality of the film, and of course I hope that through strong publicity, more people will see it."
Gu Wei said with a smile.
The two directors looked at Gu Wei with gratitude.
[The Richest Man in Xihong City] Although the film was produced by Happy Twist team from the director to the actors, the actual leading party was still [Wei Ming Tian Xia] company.
Apart from filming, Yan Fei and Peng Damo have little say in other aspects.
As directors, they certainly hope that their films will sell well, so the more money Gu Wei invests in publicity and promotion, the happier they are.
Now is not the time when a big production will cost 100 or 200 million yuan for publicity and promotion. For an ordinary movie, 60 million yuan is enough for them to shoot and promote it, and there will be some left over.
For example, the big hits this year, such as "Charlotte's Troubles" and "The Pancake Man", had a total investment of less than 60 million.
"Director Yan, Director Peng, according to President Wang's arrangement, our film's main creators will soon begin a busy roadshow. Thank you both for your hard work!"
"You're too polite, Gu Wei. We're all working for the film to achieve better results!"
"Please ask you two to go back and tell Chen Teng that he, as the lead actor, has the heaviest responsibility in terms of publicity."
"no problem"
In the afternoon, after finishing some company matters, Gu Wei drove to the CCTV studio to conduct a joint shoot for this year's Spring Festival Gala.
Gu Wei was once again invited to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Sheep.
He was a little hesitant at first. After all, with his current fame, the Spring Festival Gala stage was somewhat dispensable to him.
However, the young director Lu Yitao, who was the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time this year, called him personally and spoke very sincerely, hoping that Gu Wei could sing a song, and also gave him a lot of leniency in rehearsals.
The Spring Festival Gala is really not easy now. The ratings have been declining year after year, and the audience's reputation is not as good as before. Coupled with the competition from local satellite TV Spring Festival Galas, the director is also worried about the ratings.
They are unwilling to give up Gu Wei, the most famous and popular star among young people in China.
Especially last year when he performed on the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, the ratings increased significantly when it was Gu Wei's turn to perform, which made Lu Yitao, who served as the chief director for the first time this year, pay more attention to it.
Behind the scenes of CCTV, Gu Wei went on stage to sing a song, then packed up and prepared to leave.
"Brother Wei~"
The door of his dressing room was pushed open, and a tall figure walked in, with a pair of long legs that were very eye-catching.
"Xiaotong? Why are you here?"
Gu Wei looked up and saw Guan Xiaotong, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"I saw you singing on stage backstage just now, so I wanted to come over and say hello~
And I also have a performance in this year's Spring Festival Gala!"
Guan Xiaotong looked proud.
Gu Wei touched his chin and looked at Guan Xiaotong, who had a childish face.
"Are you singing with anyone else?"
With Guan Xiaotong's current fame and status, it is definitely impossible for her to sing solo. At most, she can sing a song with several other stars in a chorus or medley.
"Um~ It's not singing, it's a skit, an anti-corruption skit I collaborated with Mr. Guo Donglin."
Guan Xiaotong scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
"Haha~ skits are pretty good too. Xiaotong, you have talent in this area. If you develop it in the future, you might be able to achieve some success."
Gu Wei said with a smile.
Maybe because he was busy filming movies one after another this year and had no energy to prepare for the Spring Festival Gala program, Chen Teng missed this year's Spring Festival Gala, otherwise Gu Wei would have introduced them to each other.
After chatting with Guan Xiaotong for a while, I learned that she had just finished filming a TV series "Mr. Good" with Sun Honglei and Zhang Yixing.
Then there is still half a year before the college entrance examination, and the goal is Gu Wei’s alma mater, Beijing Film Academy.
My current grades are very good, and I am full of confidence in the college entrance examination, etc.
The little girl was talkative and had a great time chatting with Gu Wei.
Finally, seeing that it was getting late, Gu Wei forcibly interrupted the conversation and made an agreement with her to treat her to a meal to celebrate after the college entrance examination. Only then did he get away.
Came out of CCTV and got into his own nanny car.
"Boss, the things are prepared according to your requirements, and the documents are in the car."
The young assistant Yang Chaoyue handed over an exquisite gift box. Gu Wei opened it and saw a very beautiful car key inside.
"Very good, ask the driver to drive the car to the underground parking lot of the residential complex later."
Gu Wei closed the gift box and gave instructions.
This was a housewarming gift he bought specifically for Zhang Tianai, a red Porsche Panamera, the latest model this year, which cost less than 2 million yuan in total.
Everyone is busy with work, and he lacks attention to the real top sister of his company. However, Zhang Tianai never complains about anything, always works diligently, and obeys the arrangements of the company and Gu Wei in everything.
Yang Chaoyue was very envious when he saw the gift box that Gu Wei put aside.
She bought this car at a 4S store during the day. It looked very beautiful, and the price was beyond her reach with her current income.
She knew her boss bought it as a gift, and wondered when she would receive a gift of this quality.
Zhang Tianai's new home is in a newly built high-end community within the 3rd ring road of Beijing. It covers an area of more than 200 square meters and has a total price of nearly 20 million yuan.
She returned home early today to entertain Gu Wei.
A lot of effort was put into preparing a table full of delicious dishes.
Zhang Tianai finished preparing the last dish and brought it to the table. The doorbell rang. She looked up at the clock on the wall. It was exactly the time she and Gu Wei had agreed on.
She wiped her hands on the kitchen apron she was wearing, ran happily to the door and opened it.
Gu Wei was wearing a casual suit and standing outside the door with a bouquet of flowers, smiling.
“So beautiful!”
Zhang Tianai took it happily and lowered his head to smell it.
She was wearing a pink home dress, a yellow apron with cartoon patterns, a bun on her head, and some light makeup on her face, looking like a little housewife.
Gu Wei walked in, changed his shoes, took off his coat and hung it on the hanger next to him.
"Mmm~ It smells so good!
I can smell the delicious food!"
Gu Wei took a breath and said exaggeratedly.
"It's ready, wash your hands and let's eat~"
Zhang Tianai held the flowers and said with a smile.
Gu Wei went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and Zhang Tianai found a place to put the flowers, and the two sat down at the dining table.
"Wow~ Xiao Ai, I didn't realize you had this skill. Why didn't I see you show it off when we were together?"
So much time has passed, and Gu Wei and Zhang Tianai are no longer shy about talking about their past.
"She also said that after we confirmed our relationship, whenever we were together, we would go to a hotel. Then, I would be so exhausted that I couldn't get out of bed the next day. I had to rest at noon to recover. How could I have the chance to cook for you?"
Zhang Tianai looked at Gu Wei with an angry look and said.
Gu Wei touched his nose awkwardly.
He also remembered it, mainly because at that time Gu Wei was still an ordinary student with no fame, and his girlfriend was Zhang Tianai, who would become a big star in the future, so of course he wanted to do more.
"Haha~ I was too young at that time, still in school, with little to do and lots of energy. It's understandable, it's understandable."
Zhang Tianai rolled his eyes at him.
"By the way, Xiao Ai, this is the gift I prepared for your housewarming."
As he spoke, Gu Wei handed over the gift box he had prepared.
Zhang Tianai took it with some surprise. It didn’t really matter to her what the gift was. She was just happy that Gu Wei had such a thought.
"A car?"
Open the box and inside is an exquisite car key.
Although she doesn't know much about cars, Zhang Tianai still recognizes the Porsche logo.
"Isn't it a bit too expensive?"
Zhang Tianai was a little hesitant.
Gu Wei would usually give her some small gifts during festivals, most of which were luxury goods worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
She had a high income to begin with, and since she didn't treat Gu Wei as an outsider, she didn't think there was anything wrong with accepting the money.
However, this car is obviously worth millions, which is not a small amount for her.
"This car is parked in the garage at the base of the complex. The paperwork is inside the car. I'll have the company buy it and register it directly in your name."
You don’t need to be present in person when buying a car, as long as you have the person’s ID card.
As Zhang Tianai's boss, he can just say hello to Zhang Tianai's agent if he wants anything.
"Okay then, I'll take it!"
Without hesitation, Zhang Tianai happily accepted the gift.
Compared to the price, she still values Gu Wei's thoughtfulness more.
The two of them ate happily. Gu Wei praised her cooking skills while eating, which made Zhang Tianai, who had been planning to lose weight, happy to eat an extra bowl of rice.
Zhang Tianai’s new house is on the 28th floor, which is considered a real high-rise building.
There is a huge floor-to-ceiling window on one side of the living room. She specially placed a double sofa in front of the window so that she could sit and enjoy the scenery outside.
After finishing their meal and clearing away the dishes, Gu Wei and Zhang Tianai sat on the sofa hugging each other.
From this angle, the night view of the capital is very beautiful, with countless lights flashing, illuminating some urban areas as if it were daytime.
Looking up at the sky, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. Although there is a missing piece in its shape, the moonlight tonight is exceptionally bright.
The moonlight in the sky and the lights on the ground echo each other, and the fusion of nature and modernity is particularly beautiful.
"It's all your fault today~"
Zhang Tianai, who was sitting in Gu Wei's arms, suddenly said.
"What's wrong?"
"It made me eat so much that all my weight loss efforts were ruined!"
Gu Wei rubbed his hands up and down dishonestly.
"I'm not fat, I'm a little thin. Losing too much weight is not good!"
Zhang Tianai twisted his body.
"How can you feel it with your hands like that? If you're a little fat, it's obvious on camera."
"You can try bodybuilding. I'll have the company find you a professional female trainer and nutritionist."
He truly built Zhang Tianai into a top female star in the domestic entertainment industry, and of course her image and figure were not to be compromised.
After hearing what Gu Wei said, Zhang Tianai smiled and said nothing. For a while, the two of them just sat there quietly. The atmosphere in the room was warm and quiet.
"Gu Wei~ Now that I think about it, I was so lucky to meet you on the set that summer!"
After a while, Zhang Tianai suddenly spoke.
"Sometimes I wonder, if I hadn't been able to join the crew to film "The Blade of the Assassin" that year, or if I hadn't become your boyfriend on the set, what would I be doing now?"
As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Gu Wei's sharp profile.
Gu Wei also lowered his head slightly, looking at Zhang Tianai tenderly with his starry eyes.
"I used to think of myself as an ugly duckling, an ordinary girl who couldn't be more ordinary.
Neither his family nor his education is outstanding.
Even when I was fat, I felt that no one would even look at me when I walked into a crowd.
In my eyes, you are like the hero in a novel, shining brightly wherever you appear.
At that time on the crew, I once thought that you and Liu Yifei were a perfect match.
But I never expected that you would take the initiative to ask me out.
Later we quickly confirmed our relationship and became boyfriend and girlfriend.
I was very happy and also very scared during that time.
Because I feel that I am not worthy of you in every aspect. Being with you is like a dream. Maybe at some point, this dream will end.
Later, that incident happened and we broke up. Although I was extremely reluctant, I didn't try to save the relationship.
At that time, I actually felt relieved. Dreams are just dreams after all, and it’s better to wake up.
Later, when I was about to live an ordinary life, you appeared in front of me again, asked me to play the leading female role, made me famous, and completely changed the trajectory of my life.
I now have everything I never dared to imagine before, including fame, resources and status.
Gu Wei, thank you for liking me and choosing me."
Zhang Tianai murmured.
Taking advantage of today's opportunity, she said out what she had buried in her heart for a long time.
Gu Wei didn't say much and kissed her lips lightly.
“You have never been an ugly duckling in my eyes. I chose you because you have always been a white swan in my eyes.
It’s just that no one has discovered your beauty.”
Listening to Gu Wei's words, Zhang Tianai reached out and touched his cheek and laughed.
"Actually, it's good that you've become such a jerk now. After all, you no longer belonged to me two years ago. Now I don't have to worry about losing you."
After hearing what Zhang Tianai said, Gu Wei was also moved.
"No matter what, with me here, things will definitely get better and better."
He looked into Zhang Tianai's eyes, lowered his head and kissed her.
It was late at night, and the bright moonlight illuminated the earth, like a gentle hand soothing all things.
Suddenly, two clouds floated across the sky, surrounding the moon.
As the night wind blew, the moon hid behind the clouds for a while and then reappeared.
It was as if a shy little girl was using the clouds as a shield, spying on what was happening on the earth from time to time.
