Chapter 364 I Don’t Want to Regret
No one drank alcohol at the dinner. The crew still had normal filming tasks tomorrow, and Gu Wei also had to take the evening flight back to the "Eternal Love" crew.
Although the schedule was a bit tight, he only asked the director for two days off, and Gu Wei didn't want to go back on his word if possible.
After the dinner ended in the evening, Gu Wei said goodbye to the crew of "In the Name of People" with Zeng Li's reluctant eyes.
The next morning, Gu Wei pushed open the door of the hotel room where the crew of "Eternal Love" was working.
Yang Mi, who had just come out of the room, was stunned when he saw him. Not only were they on the same floor, but they also lived next door to each other.
"Good morning, Sister Mi~"
Gu Wei greeted with a smile.
"morning!
When will you come back?
I thought you wouldn’t be able to join the crew until today.”
Yang Mi asked curiously.
Gu Wei yawned, raised his hands and stretched.
"I took a flight last night and arrived at the hotel almost midnight, so I only slept for a short while."
"Is it possible to shoot during the day? Or should I ask the director for a day off~"
Seeing that Gu Wei's spirit was indeed not as good as before, Yang Mi felt a little worried.
"No problem, I'll have a cup of coffee later and start another day full of energy.
I am still young and in good health, you should understand this, Sister Mi!"
Gu Wei grinned and winked at Da Mimi.
"It seems you're not tired at all. We should ask Director Lin to give you a few more scenes today."
Yang Mi rolled his eyes at him.
The two went downstairs side by side to have breakfast.
Gu Wei took four slices of bread, a glass of milk, two fried eggs, and four sausages.
"Eat so much?"
Yang Mi was surprised when he looked at the small amount of food in front of him and the full plate of food on the opposite side of Gu Wei.
"I eat a lot and work a lot, so I don't get enough rest. Of course I need to replenish my nutrition."
Gu Wei said as a matter of course.
"I saw the news yesterday. Congratulations on winning the big prize this time!"
Da Mimi said as she peeled the boiled egg in her hand.
“Fortunately, Shanghai TV’s [Quality Festival] was held for the first time this year, so the quality was a little lacking.
However, I didn’t expect that the final [Quality Award] would be awarded to me. When I went there, I thought I would win an award like [Most Popular Actor].
Gu Wei was talking while eating, and he didn't seem very happy about winning the award.
"The Nirvana in Fire that you broadcast last year was incredible. Not only was it incredibly popular when it was broadcast on satellite TV, but the quality of the film was also very high.
I checked and found that Douban's rating is 9.4. It is really exaggerated that a historical costume drama based on fictional history can get more than 9 points.
And the character of "Mei Changsu" that you played is really great. I have seen the TV series, and your character is the male version of "beautiful, strong and miserable"!
No wonder it attracts so many fans! "
Yang Mi shook his head slightly and looked up at Gu Wei.
"Of course, your acting skills are also excellent."
"Haha, Sister Mi, you understand TV dramas, there's nothing wrong with what you said!"
Gu Wei smiled and accepted Yang Mi's evaluation in its entirety.
He took a sip of milk and thought about it.
"The script of Nirvana in Fire is only average by the standards of a serious drama, but it is definitely second to none among historical idol dramas.
I think the main reason for the success of Nirvana in Fire is its differentiated competition."
"What's the meaning?"
Yang Mi was a little confused.
Gu Wei smiled.
"Sister Mi, for example, last year, there was a costume drama called 'The Legend of Yun Xi' that premiered at the same time as 'Nirvana in Fire'. Did you know that?"
"Baby's one, right? I know, the results were pretty terrible."
"Sister Mi, do you think Nirvana in Fire is much better than The Legend of Yun Xi?"
"Of course, the two films are not on the same level at all!"
Yang Mi said affirmatively that although Baby has a good relationship with her, anyone with eyes can see the difference between the two TV series.
Gu Wei continued.
"Sister Mi, you watched historical dramas like 'Kangxi Dynasty' and 'Han Wudi' when you were little, right? How do you think the quality of 'Nirvana in Fire' compares to them?"
"That"
Yang Mi was about to say something, but suddenly hesitated and didn't say it.
"Don't you think that although Nirvana in Fire is good, it's still far behind these traditional classic dramas in quality?"
Gu Wei smiled.
“Actually, this is normal.
[Nirvana in Fire] If you only look at the script and story, it is far behind the truly excellent dramas, but you just said that its score is 9.4, which is higher than the two classics I just mentioned.
The reason is that although historical dramas are of good quality, most audiences may not like to watch them, and their requirements are relatively high when giving ratings.
Nirvana in Fire is actually a costume idol drama shot to the standards of a serious drama. The plot structure is not perfect, but the costumes, props, actors' acting skills, etc. are all up to the standards of a serious drama.
As a result, compared with historical dramas, the plot of "Nirvana in Fire" is more attractive, the actors are handsome and the actors are beautiful, and the audience loves to watch it.
Compared with the costume idol dramas of varying quality, it surpasses all others in terms of film quality, becoming a conscientious drama in the eyes of the audience.
The audience rated Nirvana in Fire with the same standards as other period dramas, so it’s no surprise that it achieved both high ratings and positive reviews.”
After saying that, Gu Wei picked up the glass of milk beside him and drank it all in one gulp.
Yang Mi on the opposite side seemed to be lost in thought. She had a vague feeling about what Gu Wei said before, but she didn't understand it clearly. Now, after hearing Gu Wei's words, many things became clear to her all of a sudden.
"Then can I use this standard when selecting films in the future? Then it will be easier to create a hit."
Yang Mi looked delighted, as if he had discovered the secret to wealth.
"How could it be that easy? A good script, an excellent director, excellent actors and a high-quality production, what are the chances of these all coming together?
Whether or not such a production crew will choose you to play the leading female role is another question!"
Gu Wei said very realistically.
Yang Mi frowned slightly and looked up at Gu Wei who was eating with big mouthfuls of food.
"Then how did you manage to make every film and TV series a huge hit?"
Gu Wei grinned.
"They say good-looking people don't have bad luck. Maybe I'm just lucky!"
Yang Mi curled her lips, indicating that she didn't want to talk to him.
Just as Gu Wei said, although he did not get enough rest, it did not affect his work during the day, and the filming went as smoothly as usual.
The young actor Zhang Yihan, who plays the male and female protagonists' son "A Li", has also officially joined the crew. The little guy is only 6 years old this year, and his chubby little face looks very cute.
"Little boy, what's your name?"
Gu Wei squatted down and looked at Xiao Yihan straight in the eye.
"Big brother, my name is Zhang Yihan."
The little guy answered in a baby voice.
Gu Wei smiled and looked up at his mother standing behind Zhang Yihan.
"You should call me uncle. My uncle's name is Gu Wei, and he plays Yi Han's father in this play."
"What is Father?"
"Fujun means dad."
"Are you my mother's husband too?"
The little guy asked cutely.
Now everyone around started laughing.
Gu Wei pointed at Yang Mi who was beside him.
"Uncle is your father in the play, and this beautiful aunt is your mother in the play. Uncle is her husband, not your mother's husband~"
Xiao Yihan looked up at Yang Mi and nodded thoughtfully.
“Who is Auntie?
I’m a beautiful sister, okay! "
The little guy was taken away by his mother, and Yang Mi said to Gu Wei with dissatisfaction.
"Haha~ It's fine for you to be my sister, but I'm your uncle, so I can't take advantage of you."
Originally, Gu Wei thought that such a young child would be as difficult to control as a kitten or a puppy, and it would be very troublesome to shoot.
Unexpectedly, every time they acted together, Xiao Yihan’s mother would give him instructions in advance, and he would cooperate very obediently, which made the other actors in the same camera secretly amazed.
Before he knew it, a week had passed. Yang Mi asked for leave from the crew to guest star in "Lost Legend", and Gu Wei's daily filming tasks dropped sharply.
"I understand. Let the agency go through the procedures first. I'll handle the rest when I get back."
Gu Wei hung up the call from his agent with a very happy look on his face. He crossed his legs, ate melon seeds and watched other actors filming in the distance.
Reba happened to be walking over here after finishing her filming.
She was wearing a light pink ancient costume, the classic look of "Bai Fengjiu", with a beautiful phoenix tail flower painted on her forehead. She looked stunning at first glance.
Gu Wei stretched out his hand holding the melon seeds and asked Reba.
"Eat?"
Reba was not polite and grabbed a handful from his hand, then happily sat next to Gu Wei.
"You've been so idle these past two days. I see you don't have many scenes a day~"
"I can't help it. Your sister took a leave of absence. Without her as the female lead, my solo scenes were limited and filming was finished quickly."
Gu Wei said indifferently.
"When I came over just now, I saw you talking on the phone with a smile on your face. What's making you so happy?"
Reba asked casually while cracking melon seeds.
"Haha, a big toy I bought has arrived. I'll go back to Beijing to sign for it!"
Gu Wei smiled.
"What big toy makes you so happy?"
Reba didn't understand.
"Hehe~ I'm so lucky to have a private jet built last year. Isn't that something to be happy about?"
"Wow~ a private jet!"
Reba exclaimed, for her now, this thing is too far away, she has only heard about it in the news.
"It must be very expensive. I saw online that only the super-rich in China can own their own private jets. It's hard for ordinary wealthy people to afford it."
Gu Wei held up three fingers.
"Thirty million?"
She thought Gu Wei bought a small single-seater plane.
Gu Wei shook his head.
"Three hundred million, a Gulfstream G550, the same model as Ma Yun's, a large business jet."
Reba covered her mouth with her hands, looking incredulous.
She is not yet the future top female star. She just gained some fame last year because of "Diamond Lover" and has not made much money yet.
Three hundred million is an astronomical figure for her.
Then she looked at Gu Wei with some admiration, like a little fangirl.
"Gu Wei, you are so amazing~"
"Haha, no big deal."
Gu Wei was very proud of Reba's performance. If you don't return to your hometown when you are rich, it is like walking in the night in fine clothes. If you can't show off after you get rich, then the money is of less use.
Especially in front of a beauty like Reba, the pleasure is doubled.
The two chatted for a while, and Reba looked at Gu Wei, who was in a good mood, and her eyes rolled.
"By the way, do you have anything to do tonight? I don't have any late night performances today. How about we go to the movies together tonight?
Last time I was supposed to make an appointment with you, but it somehow turned into a company event~"
Reba suggested.
"No problem, you can choose a movie and we can watch it together later."
Gu Wei, who was happy, agreed without hesitation.
After hearing his words, Reba’s smile became even brighter!
In the evening, Gu Wei, wearing a light grey casual outfit, sat on the sofa in the hotel lobby, picked up a magazine and flipped through it casually.
"Let's go~"
Reba had stood behind Gu Wei without him noticing and patted his shoulder lightly.
She was wearing a long, fashionable gray sweater, a wavy miniskirt of the same color, and a pair of black long boots. A section of her snow-white thigh was exposed, making her look particularly attractive.
Her long wavy hair fell over her shoulders, and her face was carefully made up. She had big eyes, thin eyebrows, a high nose bridge, pink red lips, and fair skin that was as smooth as a baby's. She looked both pure and lovely, and beautiful and generous, which made Gu Wei stunned.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Reba asked curiously with a smile on her face.
“No, Reba is extra beautiful today.
Tsk tsk, what a beautiful lady! "
Gu Wei exclaimed in admiration.
"Haha~ We've known each other for such a long time, and you just realized today that I'm a great beauty?"
"My fault, Reba has always been a beautiful woman"
The two of them went out together, chatting and laughing.
After getting in the nanny car, we soon arrived at the nearby cinema.
After getting off the car, they put on sunglasses, masks and hats. These things are must-haves for celebrities when going out, and the two of them didn't think it was troublesome.
The movie was chosen by Reba, a Hollywood animated film "Zootopia" which was released last week.
Gu Wei checked online and found that the box office for the first three days was not high, only 150 million yuan, but the word of mouth was very good, with a Douban score of 9.2 and almost no negative reviews online.
Influenced by word of mouth, the box office of the film has been rising against the trend in the second week, getting better and better, which is rare in the film market.
It didn't take long for the two of them to check their tickets and enter. Today was a weekday, so there weren't many people in the theater.
The whole movie was 110 minutes long and ended very quickly.
"It's really beautiful, the little animals are so cute, and the sloth is so funny! Hahaha~"
On the way out of the cinema, Reba was still chattering with Gu Wei about her experience of watching the movie.
Gu Wei also smiled and echoed her gently.
[Zootopia] is indeed a wonderful animated film, and watching a good movie is also a pleasure for the audience.
Back at the hotel, the two walked to Reba's door.
"Goodnight~Reba!"
Gu Wei said softly and turned to leave.
Reba looked at Gu Wei's figure and let out a soft cry.
"Gu Wei."
"What's wrong?"
Gu Wei stopped and turned to look at her.
Reba hesitated.
"It's still early, would you like to come to my room and have a glass of water?
Let’s chat for a while and then you can go back.”
Gu Wei was a little surprised to hear her invitation, but after thinking about it, he didn't refuse.
"Okay then~"
The two turned and went into the house.
Reba's room is not as good as Gu Wei's, but it is also the second-class room type in the hotel, with a small living room outside the bedroom.
Gu Wei followed Reba into the house and sat on the sofa.
Reba went to get him a glass of water and placed it in front of him, then sat next to him.
He reached out and picked up the remote control to turn on the TV, found a program that interested him, and the two of them watched TV while chatting.
"Gu Wei, we have known each other for more than three years, right?"
After a while, Reba looked at the TV and suddenly asked.
"Yes, I remember the first time we met was at Huanrui Company, when I went to take the makeup photos for [Gu Jian Qi Tan].
I almost fell down when I saw you in the corridor. At that time, I was thinking, how could this pretty girl be so silly~"
Gu Wei said with a smile.
"Haha, I went to Huanrui for a costume fitting with my sister the other day. When I saw you for the first time, I thought to myself, this guy is so handsome! How can there be such a handsome guy?"
Reba said this and turned to look at Gu Wei with a smile.
"Am I a nympho?"
"No, Reba, you just have good taste."
Gu Wei expressed his approval to her.
Reba smiled and didn't care, her eyes a little vague.
"Later, we filmed Swords of Legends together, and you defended me several times on the set, which made me have a better impression of you.
I thought at the time that you are handsome, famous and have a nice personality, and you are definitely the perfect boyfriend for me.
pity"
Of course Gu Wei knew what she felt sorry for and smiled indifferently.
"Aren't we good friends now? Isn't this good?"
“Yeah, friends are nice too.”
Reba repeated it without saying anything.
The room was silent for a moment, with only the sound of the television.
Gu Wei looked down at his watch.
"Reba, it's too late. I have to go back now. You should also get some rest early. We still have a scene to shoot tomorrow."
He stood up and prepared to leave.
"Gu Wei, actually I have always liked you, for more than two years!"
Reba suddenly stood up, looked up at Gu Wei's eyes, and said seriously.
“Uh~”
Gu Wei was also a little confused by Reba's confession and didn't know what to say.
"Reba, you know, I"
“I know, I know you’re a scumbag, I know Sister Mi, and I know Naza.
I also know that I am very impulsive now, and I may be sad because of you in the future, but it has been more than two years, and I really don’t want to hold it in anymore.
I’m afraid if I don’t speak up now, I won’t have the chance to speak up in the future.”
Reba was a little excited.
It is true that she covets Gu Wei's resources, but it is also true that she likes him.
Of course, with Gu Wei's various conditions, there are very few girls who don't like him.
Doesn’t Da Mimi like Gu Wei? She likes him too, but in her heart, career, fame, and money are more important than so-called love, so she is more open-minded when she is with Gu Wei.
Reba likes to mix a lot of things.
She was afraid that if she didn't say it now and didn't break the window paper, she would find it difficult to find such an opportunity again after the filming of the TV series was completed.
Gu Wei looked at the beautiful exotic face in front of him and said calmly.
"I'm not perfect, and I can't give you the perfect love you want. You should know this, Reba."
“I may have cared before, but not anymore, and I don’t want to regret it.”
Reba looked up into Gu Wei's eyes with a determined look on her face.
She has thought of everything. No matter what happens in the future, she will never be willing to give up if she doesn't try.
Gu Wei gently held Reba's beautiful face with both hands, slowly lowered his head, and kissed her lips lightly.
"I hope you don't regret it."
