Chapter 484 It’s finally my turn to be famous
A detached villa in Runze Manor.
In the middle of the round table in the restaurant was a large double-flavored hot pot, with spicy food on one side and mushroom soup on the other. It was surrounded by various seafood, beef and mutton slices, mushrooms and vegetables.
Gu Wei, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of cut fruit.
"The pot is already boiling, let's eat!"
As he said this, he put the plate on the table and sat down.
"It's so comfortable to sit around the table and eat a steaming hot pot in the middle of winter~"
Zhang Yishan was not polite at all. As soon as the water in the pot boiled, he started to put meat and vegetables in and eat.
“It looks like it’s snowing outside.”
"Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. The capital has already seen several snowfalls this winter. It looks like next year will be a good year."
“The weather was fine when I came here~”
"Didn't you check the weather forecast? It was supposed to snow today."
While eating, Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan did not forget to tease each other.
After Gu Wei returned to the capital, Li Xian and Yang Zi had just finished filming "Ashes of Love". The Chinese New Year was approaching and several of his friends were in the capital, so he habitually organized a party and invited everyone to his house for dinner.
Runze Manor was the first house Gu Wei bought in Beijing, but he rarely lived in it in recent years.
First of all, the location is a bit remote. Although it is comfortable to live in and the surrounding environment is nice, it is on the North Fifth Ring Road. It is not very convenient to go back and forth to the company. If you encounter traffic jams, you will spend too long on the road.
Another thing is that Gu Wei now has more and more properties under his name. He has several in Beijing alone, and they are all in high-end luxury communities, ranging from the 2nd to the 5th ring roads.
When he returns to Beijing, unless he is going to Nazha or someone else's place, he will choose a residence close to the company.
Runze Manor is a big place, so it is mainly used to entertain friends for dinner parties.
Everyone has been here before and is familiar with the place.
"Xiaoye, you don't have to be so reserved. There are no outsiders here. Yang Zi and the others are all your seniors and seniors. We are all family."
Zhou Ye is a new member of Gu Wei's dinner team.
As early as when filming "Take My Brother Away", she heard Peng Yuchang bragging that he often ate and drank with the big boss Gu Wei.
She took it to heart at that time.
Later, after getting to know Peng Yuchang, she asked him if she could be brought along next time the boss invited her to a dinner party.
Peng Peng naturally didn't dare to make the decision on such matters, so he asked Gu Wei.
Of course Gu Wei didn't care, so when he got together this time, he simply called her to come along.
"Gu Wei is right. Relax a little. Zhang Yishan and Li Xianni should know each other. Once you get to know them, you'll know that everyone is easy to get along with."
Yang Zi sat next to Zhou Ye and said with a smile.
"Xiaoye is here, I'm finally not the only girl here"
“Are you a girl?
How come I don’t know?”
Zhang Yishan took over.
"Zhang Yishan, do you want a beating? I'll definitely beat you up when I'm full!"
Yang Zi opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhang Yishan who was sitting opposite her with displeasure.
"No, no, Sister Zi, I mean, you are not an ordinary girl, you are my "sister"!"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Gu Wei raised the glass filled with beer in his hand.
"Okay, today is Xiaoye's first time having dinner with us, everyone welcomes Xiaoye to join us!"
"Welcome, welcome~"
“.”
Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them together.
Zhang Yishan and Peng Peng cheered and shouted "Welcome" on the side.
Zhou Ye's face turned slightly red and he felt a little embarrassed.
“Thank you everyone.”
After welcoming the newcomers, everyone started chatting while eating and drinking. Zhou Ye couldn't get a word in most of the time and could only listen from the side. Yang Zi would say a few words to her from time to time, fully taking her feelings into consideration.
"[Ashes of Love] is finished filming, how do you feel about it?"
Gu Wei picked up a piece of mutton and put it in his bowl, then ate it with sesame paste.
Yang Zi thought for a moment and said, "It's pretty good. This drama has been filming for such a long time, and I feel like every aspect of it has been done to perfection. I'm really looking forward to seeing how it will perform when it's aired."
Li Xian, who was sitting next to Gu Wei, smiled.
"In order to make this film better, Yang Zi took the initiative to lose weight and lost 90 kilograms, but it was a lot of effort!"
"Really?"
Gu Wei looked up at Yang Zi in surprise.
"Of course. Haven't you noticed that I've lost weight? Am I more beautiful than before?"
Yang Zi shook his head happily and showed off.
"I didn't notice, your face is still chubby."
Zhang Yishan didn't even raise his head, but interrupted while peeling the cooked prawns.
"Shut up and eat your food!"
Gu Wei smiled.
"Our little monkey Zi has indeed lost weight. I was thinking about saying this when you first arrived. Now it seems like the weight loss has paid off. She's become a gorgeous beauty!"
"Then you see, Gu Wei still has good vision"
After hearing what Gu Wei said, Yang Zi became proud again.
"I told you before not to take on other roles after finishing 'Ashes of Love', but you didn't, right?"
Gu Wei continued to ask.
"No, how dare I not do what Boss Gu asked?"
As Yang Zi spoke, her eyes widened and she looked at Gu Wei expectantly. She knew that Gu Wei must have a play that involved her.
"Wait a moment."
As he said that, Gu Wei stood up, rubbed his hands, walked into the inner room and took out a notebook with a white cover.
"Here, I'm inviting you to act in a new drama after the New Year, and you'll play the leading female role!"
Yang Zi took it happily. There were six big words written on the cover.
【Dear, beloved! 】
After Gu Wei handed her the script, he sat down, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"This drama is our company's first major drama of 2017, and I play the male lead."
Yang Zi was flipping through the script, his face beaming with joy.
"Wow! Gu Wei, I love you so much. I'm a little uncomfortable with you being so nice to me all of a sudden."
Gu Wei almost spit out the beer he had just taken.
Even if I controlled myself, I couldn't help coughing a few times.
"You always complained before that I wasn't kind enough and didn't support you, right? This time I'm giving you two movies in a row, one with Li Xian and one with me. How's that? Isn't that loyal enough?"
"Enough, enough, it seems like I, Yang Zi, am destined to be famous. It's finally my turn to be famous, hahahaha!"
Yang Zi was originally very optimistic about the drama "Ashes of Love" that she collaborated with Li Xian, and felt that there was a high chance that it would become a hit after it was broadcast.
Now Gu Wei has presented her with another contemporary idol film to work with him. It is destined that Yang Zi will become famous, and no one can stop her!
Looking at Yang Zi's silly smile after receiving the script, Gu Wei looked at Li Xian beside him, smiled and shook his head.
Peng Peng didn't say much and was very focused on eating.
Zhou Ye, who was sitting next to Yang Zi, looked at the script in the other's hand with envy. She wondered when she could become the heroine in her boss's movie.
After being excited for a while, Yang Zi carefully put the script into her bag. This little episode was over, and she started chatting with everyone else.
It was freezing cold and snowing outside, but the hot pot was steaming hot inside the house, and a group of good friends were having a great time eating meat, drinking, and chatting.
"Peng Peng, the film you and Xiao Ye starred in, 'Take My Brother Away,' is almost finished post-production. The company has scheduled it for release this summer."
"Okay, Brother Wei~"
Zhou Ye was also very much looking forward to it when she heard Gu Wei's words. This was her first movie and she wondered what kind of performance it would have.
"One more thing. The company is currently preparing a new movie. Wen Mu, the director of 'The Love Master', is also directing. There's a role in it that seems quite suitable for you. I've told the director that when you get back, talk to your agent and go to Director Wen for an audition to see if you can be chosen!"
"What kind of role?"
Pumbaa looked curious.
Gu Wei smiled and patted his shoulder.
"It's a rather stubborn character, and it requires a lot of acting skills. I think you can handle it. The company will send you the script later."
Gu Wei was talking about the role of the yellow-haired "Peng Hao" in "Dying to Survive". He felt that Peng Yuchang was more suitable for the role in terms of both image and acting skills.
"Gu Wei, the TV series you're about to release is really popular. It's been hyped up all over the internet, and a lot of people are waiting to watch it.
Many people say it’s definitely the best drama to open the new year! "
Yang Zi took a sip of juice and mentioned Gu Wei's new drama.
“It’s normal. This drama has a huge investment. The first round of copyrights, including the online broadcast rights, have been sold. Now local satellite TV stations and video platforms are working together, and the fans are really looking forward to it, which is why we have the current results.
By the way, I have to fly to Hangzhou tomorrow to take the crew of "Eternal Love" to record "Ace vs. Ace" on Blueberry Channel.
This episode was recorded with the crew of Cheng Long’s “Kung Fu Yoga” during the Spring Festival.”
"What a coincidence! Zhang Yishan and I just recorded the theme song for Kung Fu Yoga two days ago. We sang it with Jackie Chan."
Yang Zi said in surprise.
"You guys are pretty good. I've been in the industry for so many years and I've never worked with Brother Cheng Long~"
"Tsk~ I don't believe they didn't invite you. Besides, we're just singing the theme song. It's a movie that's being released during the Spring Festival, so they wanted to have a good time. They invited us because of the fame of 'Home with Kids'."
Gu Wei smiled.
"After all the twists and turns, Home with Kids remains deeply rooted in people's hearts."
The meal took more than an hour. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they cleared the table together.
Afterwards, Zhang Yishan dragged Gu Wei and others to the game room to play games, and Yang Zi took Zhou Ye around the villa.
The two of them walked to a small viewing room on the top floor. Heavy snow was slowly falling outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and the house was warm as spring.
"Xiaoye, you're so pretty, you must be the most beautiful girl of this year's Beijing Film Academy class, right?"
Zhou Ye felt a little embarrassed.
"No, my appearance is actually very average in the class."
"Don't be so modest. Beauty is beauty. I heard Peng Peng say that you signed with his company. If your conditions were average, how could someone as smart as Gu Wei sign you?"
Zhou Ye scratched his head.
"Sister Zi, I feel like you have a really good relationship with the boss and the others."
"Of course. We're classmates and have known each other since childhood. After so many years, of course we have a good relationship."
"The boss is a year younger than you guys, right?"
Zhou Ye asked curiously.
Yang Zi nodded.
"Zhang Yishan from Li County and I were classmates in the 10th grade, and Gu Wei was in the 11th grade.
Actually, I got to know him because of Zhang Yishan and the others.
At that time, the three of us were the best friends in school. Li Xian and Zhang Yishan loved playing basketball, and Gu Wei, who often played with them at the Beijing Film Academy basketball court, got to know them. I also became familiar with Gu Wei because I often watched them play.
"It feels like a story from a campus-themed youth novel."
Zhou Ye listened to Yang Zi talking about the past with a look of longing on his face.
When she was in middle school, Gu Wei was already very famous, and she could not imagine what it would be like for her idol to play basketball on campus.
Yang Zi knew what the little girl was thinking just by looking at her face.
She curled her lips.
"At that time, Gu Wei hadn't made his debut yet, but he was known as the most handsome boy on campus at the Beijing Film Academy. We would go out to eat and drink when we had nothing to do, and we lived a pretty carefree life."
Zhou Ye looked at Yang Zi and his eyes moved.
"Sister Zi, you've had such a good relationship with the boss for so many years, aren't you moved at all?"
"Me and him?"
Yang Zi's voice became louder, and then he paused, feeling a little disappointed.
"That's impossible. We are close friends, brothers, there's no chance of romance.
Gu Wei is obsessed with looks, and his girlfriends since he started school are basically all super beauties on par with the Beijing Film Academy’s campus beauties.”
Zhou Ye touched her chin after hearing what Yang Zi said. Although she said it modestly, she was indeed the school belle of the acting department this year, and she had always been very confident in her appearance.
