Chapter 407 I Treat Her as a Friend
The lights in the theater dimmed, and the originally noisy audience seats gradually became quiet.
At today's premiere, in addition to various celebrity guests, there were a lot of young people present, most of whom were fans of Gu Wei and Liu Yifei, and more than half of them were young women.
Finally, the movie started. Cheng Lu habitually took out a small notebook and placed it on his lap, and then took out a pen from his pocket.
Sitting next to him was a young girl who looked to be around twenty years old. She gave him a strange look.
"Uncle, why are you taking notes while watching a movie?"
“Uncle?
Little sister, are you calling me?"
Cheng Lu was a little puzzled.
"Yes"
The little girl replied as a matter of course.
Cheng Shu is almost forty years old this year, but he prides himself on being young and strong. He never expected that a girl in her twenties would call him uncle.
"Um~ I'm a film critic, and I record interesting parts of movies as I watch them."
The little girl was surprised when she heard his words.
"Really, uncle~
It turns out you are so awesome!
Please watch it carefully and say good things about Gu Wei’s film.”
"Um, okay."
Cheng Lu reluctantly agreed.
While the two were talking, the movie had already started on the big screen.
Qin Feng, played by Gu Wei, appears first. He is pulling a suitcase with a huge American flag behind him. He is queuing up at the airport with a group of people to go through the formalities.
Soon it was his turn. A black staff member looked at Gu Wei and asked in English, "What is your purpose for coming to the United States?"
Because Qin Feng was a bit stuttering, he kept saying "II" for a long time. The black man got impatient and shouted loudly in Northeastern dialect, "What are you doing?"
"Attend the wedding!"
Gu Wei quickly took out a wedding invitation.
At this time, the first laughter was heard in the audience.
The black staff member stamped Gu Wei's passport with a steel stamp. The camera zoomed in and the big red words on the stamp came into view: "Detective Chinatown 2"!
“The opening of the second part is quite interesting.”
Cheng Lu thought as he turned the pen in his hand.
The camera turned and Gu Wei had already come out of the airport. Two tall and strong black men recognized him, put a black bag on his head, and tied him to an extended Lincoln car.
When he opened his eyes again, "Tang Ren" played by Wang Baoqiang was sitting directly opposite the car wearing an exaggerated leopard skin coat and a pair of big sunglasses.
Next to him sat two rows of scantily clad beauties, looking as if they were living a life of debauchery and extravagance.
“Surprise!
Hahaha~Lao Qin!
Welcome to NewYork!
The helicopter is out for rent, so I'll have to take this one for a bit~
Am I handsome? "
Gu Wei looked at him and stammered in reply.
“So ugly!”
"How come you haven't made any progress since you went to college?"
Wang Baoqiang was very dissatisfied with his answer, but he didn't care and shouted loudly.
“Music Go!”
After Wang Baoqiang finished speaking, the two strong black men sitting next to Gu Wei and the group of beauties in the car all started dancing to the music.
The camera pulls away, and an extended Lincoln is driving slowly on the road in New York. Taylor Swift's popular song "Welcome to New York" begins playing as background music.
In just a few minutes, the two main characters in "Detective Chinatown 2", "Qin Feng" and "Tang Ren", all appeared, and told the audience that the second story takes place in the international metropolis of New York.
"This opening is very similar to the first film where Wang Baoqiang plays mahjong. Detective Chinatown 2 is definitely in the same vein. I'm looking forward to it even more."
The camera follows the movement of the two protagonists and soon arrives at the venue where all the detectives gathered at the beginning of the movie. Well-known detectives from all over the world gathered there, and Gu Wei also exposed Wang Baoqiang's lie about getting married.
While the two were arguing outside the door, the female police officer "Chen Ying" played by Liu Yifei, dressed in a suit and white shirt, walked over heroically.
Both of them were stunned, especially Wang Baoqiang, whose saliva was almost flowing.
"Wow, Liu Yifei is so beautiful!"
"So cool, Liu Yifei's outfit is so suitable"
On the side of the front row, there are seats for the film's main creators.
"How about it, Sister Yifei, I took a very beautiful picture of you, didn't I?"
Gu Wei asked quietly in Liu Yifei's ear.
Liu Yifei looked at him with some pride.
"It's not that I'm naturally beautiful."
After Liu Yifei arrived, the purpose of this global detective gathering was also exposed.
The grandson of Chinatown Godfather Uncle Seven was murdered, and there is still no clue about the murderer. So Uncle Seven offered a large reward and hired a world-renowned detective, vowing to find the murderer.
So the main storyline of "Detective Chinatown 2" officially begins
[Detective Chinatown 2] is very exciting in terms of the plot, actors' acting skills, and lines and dialogues.
More than 500 audience members at the scene were attracted to the plot from the beginning of the movie. While thinking about who the real murderer was based on the development of the plot, they were also amused by the funny plots in the movie.
[Detective Chinatown 2] lasts for exactly two hours, and it can be said that there is no boring moment at all. The jokes are dense and the logic is online. The audience also enjoyed the various details in the movie.
At the end of the film, the case was solved, the murderer who attempted to take the five internal organs to make elixir died, and Liu Yifei was also rescued.
Xiao Yang, who killed people by chance, said some intriguing words to Gu Wei.
"Qin Feng, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring back at you.
So, you can watch it, but don’t watch it for too long.”
At the airport, after Gu Wei and Wang Baoqiang said goodbye to Liu Yifei and Nazha, Wang Baoqiang received a call.
"Old Qin, there is a huge case waiting for us.
We don’t need to fly to Beijing anymore, let’s fly to Tokyo instead!”
The ending song plays and the movie officially ends.
Then, thunderous applause broke out in the cinema and lasted for a long time.
Gu Wei sat on the side of the first row. As he listened to the applause, the smile on his face grew brighter.
He turned his head slightly and looked at the rows of audience behind him who were clapping loudly.
Although the audience feedback during the roadshow was very good, he was still very happy about the popularity of the premiere.
"Uncle, how is it? Isn't my brother's movie particularly exciting?"
After the movie ended, the little girl sitting next to Cheng Lu looked very happy and couldn't help asking him.
Cheng Lu nodded unconsciously.
"It's really great. A good story with excellent performances from the actors. To be honest, I'm already looking forward to the third part."
"Then uncle, don't forget to say a few good words about the movie!"
The little girl couldn't contain her happiness when she heard her idol's movie was praised.
Then she thought of something.
"Uncle, let's add each other on WeChat. I'll add you to the fan group."
After the movie screening ended, with the interaction of the host, the celebrity guests present praised "Detective Chinatown 2" in various ways, and the premiere ceremony officially ended soon.
Under the arrangement of the staff, the audience left in an orderly manner, and Gu Wei and his team also bid farewell to the stars who attended the event one by one.
"Brother Wei, your film is really good~"
Da Tiantian was also present today. She was wearing a white dress, had a pair of big watery eyes, skin so white that it seemed to be glowing, a small nose, and seductive red lips. She looked beautiful and dignified. When she spoke, her voice was soft and cute, and she was very likable.
"Tiantian, I'm sorry, there were too many friends here today, and I couldn't treat you properly."
Gu Wei said this with some apology.
Jingtian arrived at the beginning of the show, but he only had time to say hello before another friend arrived and he didn't have time to talk.
"I understand. It's normal for you, as the director and lead actor, to be busy with the movie release. It's fine with me~"
Jingtian is very understanding.
"By the way, have you finished filming your movie in America?"
Gu Wei suddenly asked.
"[Kong: Skull Island] has already wrapped up. I didn't have many scenes in the movie, so it didn't take that long actually."
Jingtian looked happy when he heard Gu Wei asking about him.
"I was originally supposed to be starring in a film called Pacific Rim: Uprising, which Legendary Pictures is also investing in. It's set to start filming at the end of the year, so I'm not in a rush, so I'm going back to China now."
“Tsk tsk~”
Because Wanda Group has made a big push into the entertainment industry in recent years and acquired Legendary Entertainment, Da Tiantian's film and television resources are unmatched in the circle.
Not to mention other actresses, even Gu Wei can't compare to her.
He can be said to be killing it in China. He can basically play whatever role he wants, and almost no crew will refuse him to join.
But he is not a well-known name in Hollywood.
Gu Wei is mainly famous in China, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia.
His movies only sold well in China, and his popularity in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia was boosted by his previous idol dramas such as "My Sunshine" and "Love O2O".
In Europe and the United States, he only became popular for a while when he released songs a few years ago, but people only heard of him and had never seen him in person.
After the hype wore off, and considering that he was an Asian singer, he was soon forgotten by fans and audiences in Europe and the United States.
However, Gu Wei didn't care about these things. He knew his base better than anyone else, and he didn't care about international superstars or anything like that.
"Come on, Tiantian, act well, I think you can do it!"
Gu Wei encouraged enthusiastically.
"Yeah~ I know, I will definitely work hard!"
Jingtian's smile grew even brighter.
“By the way, when I was in New York before, Brother Wei, you persuaded me to act in more TV dramas.
Just before the Lunar New Year, I had a few months of free time, so I took on a costume drama based on your advice!
"Oh, what's your name?"
"Huanrui produced a film called 'The Glory of Tang Dynasty'. The investment was not large, but the story is quite interesting."
Jingtian said with a smile.
Gu Wei's eyes turned. Although he had never watched this TV series, he had heard of it in the news online in the original time and space.
Although it was not as popular as "Eternal Love" and "The Journey of Flower", it was also very popular for a while, and most of the audiences who watched it gave it good reviews.
This is one of the few popular TV series and movies that Jingtian has filmed.
After chatting with Jingtian for a few more words, he waved goodbye to her and left.
"This little girl has a complicated background~"
After Jingtian left, Liu Yifei walked to Gu Wei and whispered as she watched Da Tiantian walking away.
Gu Wei nodded.
"Indeed, but she has a good personality and doesn't have the temperament of a princess."
Liu Yifei turned and looked at him.
"Any ideas?"
Gu Wei smiled bitterly.
"What are you talking about, Sister Yifei, we are friends, okay?"
Liu Yifei's lips curled up slightly.
"You treat her as a friend, but maybe she doesn't think so in her heart."
Gu Wei looked at Liu Yifei's perfect face and teased her:
"I also consider Sister Yifei a good friend, so what do you think?"
Liu Yifei felt a little embarrassed being stared at by him and patted Gu Wei's arm lightly.
“I won’t tell you anymore, I have friends to see off.
Bright Shadow
As she said this, she called over to Zhang Liangying who came to support her today and walked over.
