Chapter 414 You Want to Meet the Parents
After finishing the roadshow promotion activities, Gu Wei and his team returned to Beijing. Everyone went home to have a good night's rest.
The next morning, the crew will hold a media meeting in the grand banquet hall of the Wanda Hotel.
Just as I promised when I landed at the airport yesterday, I gave the long-awaited journalist friends an interview opportunity.
[Detective Chinatown 2] The main creative team gathered again, but of course Wang Baoqiang was still nowhere to be seen.
After coming back and resting for a day, everyone looked much more energetic and not as tired as before.
“Ah~”
Nazha was sitting in the lounge and yawned loudly. She was in the worst condition among everyone and looked very sleepy.
"Naza, didn't you get enough rest yesterday?"
Liu Yifei, who was sitting next to him, asked with concern.
She wore a light purple long dress today and her makeup was light. After all, it was just a media meeting, so Liu Yifei didn't make it too grand and dressed casually.
"Uh~that
I watched two movies at home last night and accidentally stayed up late.
After the press conference is over, I'll go home and catch up on some sleep."
Naza first hummed twice, then rolled her eyes and explained.
In fact, it was after returning to Beijing that she finally got the chance to be alone with Gu Wei. When Gu Wei came back to her place in the evening, he stayed with her for a long time and did not go to bed until midnight.
I have to attend another press conference this morning. I got up early, so naturally I didn’t get enough rest.
"Have the makeup artist touch up your makeup. Your dark circles are a little obvious. There will be a lot of reporters soon."
"Really?"
Hearing about the dark circles, Nazha nervously took out a small mirror from her bag and looked around.
Although she is naturally beautiful, Nazha has always paid great attention to her appearance.
"Really? I must not stay up late anymore. I am the same. Why am I so addicted?"
Nazha looked at herself in the mirror, frowned slightly, and murmured a complaint.
"What's the addiction?"
Liu Yifei asked curiously.
"Haha~ What I mean is that the movie I watched last night was so good that I couldn't stop watching it until the end, which delayed my sleep."
Naza explained reluctantly.
Just when Liu Yifei wanted to ask what movie they were watching.
Naza stood up hurriedly.
"Sister Yifei, I'm going to touch up my makeup."
At this time, Gu Wei came over with three cups of American coffee. He knew that Nazha was not in good spirits and had been very sleepy since she got up in the morning, so he advised her to rest at home, but Nazha insisted on coming, saying that she could not delay her work because of her.
So after arriving, Gu Wei went out to make a few cups of coffee.
"Where are you going?"
Nazha took a cup of coffee from Gu Wei and glared at him.
"I'll ask a makeup artist to touch up my makeup, you can talk to Sister Yifei."
Gu Wei was a little puzzled, but he didn't care and handed another cup of coffee to Liu Yifei.
"Sister Yifei, I want an iced American coffee according to your taste."
"Thank you~"
Liu Yifei took it with a smile.
Gu Wei took the remaining cup in his hand and sat down.
"Sister Yifei, you look in good spirits today and in much better condition!"
"I came back and had a good night's rest. It's still more comfortable to sleep in my own bed.
Oh, and I haven't congratulated you yet, the movie's box office has officially surpassed Monster Hunt and is now the second-highest grossing film in domestic history!"
Two weeks after its release, the box office of "Detective Chinatown 2" was 2.62 billion yuan. Yesterday, Monday of the third week, the single-day box office was 128 million yuan. As of today, the total box office of the film is 2.748 billion yuan, officially surpassing the 2.67 billion yuan of "Monster Hunt" and becoming the runner-up in the domestic film box office.
Now the only movie ahead of "Detective Chinatown 2" is "The Mermaid", which has a record of 3.391 billion. It remains to be seen when it can be surpassed.
"Haha, thank you, thank you, but I should say let's rejoice together, Detective Chinatown 2 is a movie for all of us.
I should also congratulate Yifei for becoming the leading actress of the second highest-grossing film in history."
The two complimented each other, and "Detective Chinatown 2" was a huge hit at the box office, making every actor involved in the movie proud.
While they were chatting, Gu Wei's cell phone rang. He took it out and took a look, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
Then he started replying to some messages with his fingers.
Gu Wei didn't say anything, and Liu Yifei also calmed down and drank coffee quietly on the side.
Because the two of them were sitting very close to each other, she couldn't help but glance at Gu Wei's phone screen out of curiosity.
After a while, Gu Wei breathed a sigh of relief, finally sending all the messages he needed to send. He set his phone to vibrate mode and then turned it off.
"Hey~ Master Gu, you've been really busy on Chinese Valentine's Day. You just wished a lot of people a happy holiday. Now that our press conference is over, I'm afraid you won't have enough time today."
Liu Yifei looked at Gu Wei with a half-smile and said in a sarcastic tone.
"Ahem, isn't it normal to wish some good friends a happy holiday?
If we weren’t together today, I would have sent you a message to wish you well.”
“Haha, I can’t bear it~”
"As for not having enough time, that's nonsense. Sister Yifei, if you're free today, we can have dinner together tonight. It's just right for the holiday."
Gu Wei looked at Liu Yifei and spoke very firmly.
"No, no, no, I don't want to spend Chinese Valentine's Day with you."
Although Gu Wei is really outstanding and Liu Yifei is attracted to him from time to time when she is with him, she is not really ready to take the relationship to the next level with him.
Apart from anything else, she couldn't stand the romantic affairs that Gu Wei, that scumbag, had attracted.
Not to mention the distant past, his ex-girlfriend Nazha must be having an unclear relationship with him now.
Liu Yifei feels that the relationship between the two of them is pretty good now. They can talk to each other without any taboos and feel very comfortable when they are together.
Gu Wei was not surprised by Liu Yifei's rejection. He knew that the other party would not agree, so he just said that.
"Not today, but another day is fine.
My mother wants to invite you to have a simple meal at home, so you can come over when you have time."
After Liu Yifei refused, she suddenly remembered what her mother had told her when she got home yesterday, and mentioned it to Gu Wei.
"No problem, if Auntie invites me, I will definitely go, it's just a matter of time."
"I know you're a busy boss, so I'll let you know how to arrange it. We can meet up later. Just don't forget it."
Liu Yifei said indifferently that she did not take her mother's invitation to Gu Wei for dinner seriously. She just thought it was a simple dinner party, but it was held at her house.
Over the years, when she was free, she would occasionally ask Gu Wei out for dinner or tea, and she felt it was no big deal.
"Touch what?"
As the two were talking, Nazha came back from touching up her makeup.
She drank half a cup of American coffee and felt a little better and not as sleepy as before.
"Sister Yifei asked me to go to her house for dinner when I have time~"
Nazha looked at Liu Yifei in confusion.
"It's not me, it's my mom who wants to invite Gu Wei to our house for dinner."
When Naza heard this, her eyes widened instantly, she pointed at the two people, her voice trembling.
"Are you going to meet the parents?"
Gu Wei almost spit out the coffee he had just taken.
Liu Yifei coughed, exchanged a glance with Gu Wei, and smiled bitterly.
"Why meet the parents? Our movie is a big hit at the box office, and my mom just wants to thank Gu Wei for casting me in this movie.
What's our relationship? Just meeting the parents. What's your train of thought, Nazha?"
After hearing what Liu Yifei said, Nazha's heart, which had been in her throat, calmed down again.
She patted her chest, took a long breath, glanced at Gu Wei, and sat on the other side of Liu Yifei.
"I'm sorry, Sister Yifei, when I heard you say you were going to bring Gu Wei to meet your mother, I couldn't help but think..."
Liu Yifei waved her hand to indicate that it was okay.
Nazha grabbed Liu Yifei's fair arms with both hands, rolled her eyes, and spoke coquettishly.
"Sister Yifei
Is your house particularly large? I saw on the online news that you have a lot of kittens.
"It's okay, just an ordinary villa in the capital. They do have a lot of cats. They used to have a parrot, but they don't have one anymore."
Liu Yifei took a sip of coffee, turned around and looked at Nazha and said.
"Did you give it away?"
Naza was curious.
"Hang up"
Liu Yifei blinked expressionlessly.
“Uh~”
“Haha~”
Gu Wei sat on the other side of Liu Yifei, listening to the two of them chatting, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Is it funny?"
Liu Yifei turned around and asked.
“No, I just thought of something interesting.”
"Sister Yifei, leave him alone~"
Nazar pulled Liu Yifei's arm.
"Next time you invite Gu Wei to your house for dinner, can I go too? I'm very curious about Sister Yifei's home.
It feels like princesses like you live in castles."
Naza said in a coquettish tone.
"No problem, I'll call you when the time is set."
Liu Yifei did not hesitate at all for Nazha's request and agreed very readily.
In her mind, this is just a simple meal, it doesn't matter whether it's for one person or two.
Besides, she doesn't have many friends, and now she has a good relationship with Nazha, so it's normal to invite her to visit home.
"That's great, thank you Sister Yifei"
Nazha was very happy to receive the invitation. She thanked Liu Yifei and gave Gu Wei who was sitting opposite her a blank look.
Having achieved her goal, Nazha started chatting with Liu Yifei again.
After a while, the media meeting officially began.
The process was quite simple, not much different from their previous roadshows, except that there were no audience members in the audience, only reporters.
Everyone kept asking questions, and the film's main creators answered them normally.
