Chapter 496: Traditional Sending-off
China Wanwan, Taipei, Gu Wei's private plane has just landed at Taipei Songshan Airport.
He was invited by his partner CTV to come to Taiwan to promote "Eternal Love".
The full name of CTS is China Television Corporation, abbreviated as CTS. It is the second television company in Taiwan and is known as the "Old Three" together with Taiwan Television Company (abbreviated as TTV) and China Television Company (abbreviated as CTS).
The three channels each have their own strengths. For example, TTV excels at news. Many current cable news channel directors originally came from TTV.
CTS excels at TV dramas. The first TV series produced in Taiwan Province, "Jing Jing", was produced by CTS. Familiar Qiong Yao dramas such as "Three Romances of the Plum Blossom" and "My Fair Princess" were also broadcast by CTS.
CTS excels at variety shows, and has always been so. Many famous hosts, such as Zhang Xiaoyan and Hu Gua, made their fortunes at CTS.
The copyright of the drama "Love O2O" produced by Gu Wei's company two years ago in Taiwan was sold to CTS. The drama was very popular after it was broadcast, making CTS a huge profit.
This year's "Eternal Love" was bought by CTS at a high price.
Facts have proved that the second cooperation with "Wei Ming Tian Xia" was successful again. After the first broadcast, the performance of "Eternal Love" continued to rise, and it won the weekly prime time ratings championship of CTV.
"What I said before was correct, right? The role of Bai Fengjiu will bring you great popularity."
Gu Wei, who got off the plane, was talking on the phone with Reba.
The other party has been in an excited state recently and sends him a lot of WeChat messages every day.
The role of "Bai Fengjiu" in "Eternal Love" made Reba experience the feeling of being famous for the first time.
The popularity on the Internet, the rapid increase in fans, and the various film and television resources and endorsements that followed made her clearly feel that she had become famous.
"Is [Pretty Li Huizhen] almost finished filming?"
"Right away. According to the filming schedule, it will be finished before this weekend."
"What are the company's subsequent arrangements for you? From what I know about Zeng Jia, [Jiaxing Media] has finally made an artist famous under their management, so they will definitely maximize the use of resources."
"My agent brought me several scripts, all of which have the female lead. Once this drama is finished, I will be able to join the crew seamlessly.
In my free time, I have to attend some commercial performances and shoot materials for the new endorsement. I will be very busy for the next period of time."
Although she complained about being busy, Reba's tone was very cheerful.
"Do you need me to tell Zeng Jia not to push you too hard and just stop at the right level of work?"
Gu Wei raised the corner of his mouth slightly, deliberately teasing Reba.
He understood Reba's current mood very well. As a star, you are not afraid of being busy, the busier the better. If you have nothing to do, it means that you are no longer popular or have passed your popularity.
The entertainment industry is the one closest to fame and fortune among all industries. Who among celebrities doesn’t want to become famous? The so-called Buddhist attitude is just a personality trait, or they just can’t become famous, so they start to live a life of self-abandonment and muddle through.
Just like Zeng Li, who has a close relationship with Gu Wei, her character for the past ten years was non-competitive. She didn't think much of it when her classmate Zhang Ziyi snatched away Zhang Yimou's movie opportunity.
She is one of the few female celebrities in the entertainment industry who is not very ambitious. But now that she has become famous thanks to "Ode to Joy" recommended by Gu Wei, she is still very happy. She is much more active in filming and participating in activities than before.
Since you have chosen to be a star, who wouldn’t love fame and fortune?
“No! No!
It’s okay to be a bit busy. I actually feel that the work pace is better now than before. It may be a bit tiring, but every day is very fulfilling! ”
As Gu Wei expected, Reba refused bluntly.
"By the way, do you remember when we talked about appearing on variety shows?"
My agent told me yesterday that the company plans to arrange for me to be a permanent guest on Running Man.
She said that this popular variety show helped me to maintain my current popularity."
Gu Wei's eyes rolled, and he remembered that the news reported last month that Baby was pregnant and gave birth to a child.
"What do you think?"
"I think the company's arrangement makes some sense. I want to participate."
Reba remembered that Gu Wei had told her some bad things about Blueberry Channel variety shows before, but she felt that she had just become famous, and "Running Man" was a very good variety show resource for her, so she had no reason to give up.
"Forehead
If you want to participate, just participate, and don’t take what I said before too seriously.
The program team will only make things difficult for small artists who have no fame and no background. You are not in this category.
I'll call Brother Chao, Lu Han and the others later and ask them to take care of you.
I guarantee you’ll be treated like a little princess when you’re filming variety shows.”
Gu Wei didn't care too much about Reba's choice.
The original time and space hot bar's experience of recording "Running Man" was not a good one, because she was not very famous at the time and had just become popular, and the background of "Jaywalk Media" behind her was not strong enough.
When Baby returns later, everyone will definitely favor their old friend Big Baby in all aspects.
But it’s different now. Although Reba’s fame has not changed, she has Gu Wei’s support.
Deng Chao and Gu Wei have always had a good relationship, and Lu Han is like his younger brother. Chen He was an actor under him as early as the filming of "Detective Chinatown 1". Even Zheng Kai, who is paired with Angelababy, had just worked with Gu Wei in "Ex-Files 3".
Gu Wei's current status and position are not comparable to those of Baby and the Leader. Even Huayi, Baby's backer, is in the honeymoon period with him because of "Ex-Files 3".
As long as he says hello, Reba will definitely have a very comfortable time in "Running Man".
As for the so-called "Lu Di couple", a CP that was forced together by the program crew, after "You Are My Glory" was launched, as soon as the "Glory couple" appeared, with Gu Wei's super high traffic, the CP fans of the "Lu Di couple" were naturally washed away.
"My dear, you are so good. With you, I don't have to worry about anything."
Reba acted coquettishly to Gu Wei on the phone in a happy tone.
While the two were talking on the phone, Gu Wei followed the staff out of the airport corridor.
When he came out of a security door, he was shocked by the scene outside.
"It's not convenient for me here. I'll talk to you when I have time."
Gu Wei said this and quickly hung up the phone.
At this time, the lobby of Taipei Songshan Airport was crowded with people. Countless young men and women were crowded together, some holding banners, some holding posters, and some holding light boards. Originally, everyone was in chaos, but when Gu Wei appeared, the scene was quiet for a second, and then erupted into thunderous cheers.
"Gu Wei, Gu Wei, I love you!!"
"Ahhhh! Gu Wei, you're so handsome!"
"Hubby, I love you!"
"Brother, look here!!!"
“.”
The fans were shouting wildly, and the crowd surged towards Gu Wei like waves.
There were also some local Taiwanese media who mingled with the fans, taking all kinds of photos of Gu Wei with flash cameras flashing wildly!
Fortunately, the airport security was in place, and the people sent by CTS to greet Gu Wei were well prepared.
The security guards bravely separated the fans to prevent them from having any chance of touching Gu Wei.
Gu Wei didn't say much at this time. He knew that in this situation, any words of comforting the fans were fake. The fanatical fans had little rationality left, and the best option was to disappear as quickly as possible.
He slightly lowered the brim of his hat, and under the double escort of the outermost security guards and his own entourage in the middle, he quickly left the airport and got into the CTS car.
"Teacher Gu Wei, are our Taiwanese fans particularly enthusiastic?"
In the car, Manager Wang of CTS, who was in charge of picking people up, asked with a smile.
Gu Wei glanced at him.
"You're really enthusiastic. Did you leak my landing time to the fans in advance?"
Because his itinerary in China has always been kept secret, it has been a long time since he encountered such a large crowd of people welcoming him at the airport.
Gu Wei felt that the idea of relying on fans to pick him up at the airport to prove his popularity was too low, and he didn't need it at all now.
This means that if Gu Wei's fans in China want to see him in person, they can only do so on the red carpet of major evening parties. After all, Gu Wei's schedule is kept confidential, and major evening parties always announce the attending guests in advance.
Finally, every time Gu Wei walks the red carpet, the fans present are very excited, and everyone can feel his invincible popularity.
"You're here for publicity, so we'll naturally make the most of it."
After landing in Taiwan, Gu Wei first settled in the booked hotel, and then participated in the recording of a very famous Taiwanese variety show "Entertainment 100%" under the arrangement of CTS.
This entertainment news variety show, which was launched by Taiwan's eight major channels on May 5, 1997, is the longest-running variety show in Chinese television history.
Although the host and program content have been changed several times, the ratings have always remained at the forefront of Taiwan's variety shows.
As a well-deserved Asian superstar, Gu Wei is extremely popular even in Taiwan. When he appeared on the show to record the show that day, he was warmly welcomed by the hosts Qiu Fengze and Chen Lingjiu.
He knew that Taiwan's variety shows have always been bold, and he was prepared to be asked some excessive questions, but he did not expect that the entire recording was very "friendly". The two hosts basically followed the pre-written script and did not do anything fancy.
Host: "Welcome Gu Wei to Taiwan with his new drama, Eternal Love. This should be your first time in Taiwan, right?"
Gu Wei: “Yes!”
Host: "What do you think of Taiwan? What is your first impression?"
Gu Wei: "I still remember the description of Taiwan in the textbooks when I was in school. It said that it is a rich treasure island with beautiful Sun Moon Lake, which is very desirable.
After arriving today, I was not disappointed. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but the people are also very welcoming."
Host: "Haha~ Gu Wei landed today, do you have anything to say to your fans?"
Gu Wei: "Thank you all for your love for Eternal Love, and even more so for your love for me. I will bring you more high-quality works in the future."
In the evening, Deputy Director Chen of CTS brought several senior executives to a banquet for Gu Wei.
After all, Gu Wei is not just a star, he is also the boss of the company "Wei Ming Tian Xia" that cooperates with their China Television.
From "Love O2O" to "Eternal Love", CTS has made a lot of money from its collaboration with "TVB Satellite TV", so naturally it has to maintain this business partnership.
Gu Wei brought his executive agent Yang Dan to the banquet. In such an occasion, Yang Chaoyue, the young assistant, was not qualified to sit at the table.
After entering the private room and sitting down, Gu Wei was surprised to see a familiar figure in the room.
"Mr. Gu, let me introduce you. This is our Taiwanese actress Guo Biting, who has also been developing in mainland China in recent years.
At tomorrow’s fan meeting, she will sing [Liang Liang] with you, Mr. Gu, as a treat for the fans.”
Deputy Director Chen introduced with a smile on his face.
"Hello, Miss Guo, long time no see."
Guo Biting was wearing a light green floral dress, exposing her white arms and a large beautiful back. Her black and shiny hair fell down her shoulders. Her fair face had a high nose bridge, and her beautiful big eyes looked at Gu Wei with interest.
Hearing Gu Wei's greeting, Guo Biting couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
"Hello, Mr. Gu, I didn't expect you still remember me."
"Do you know each other?"
Master Chen was also very surprised.
He invited Guo Biting to sing with Gu Wei mainly because she was one of the more famous Taiwanese actresses in mainland China. Unexpectedly, he met Gu Wei by chance.
Gu Wei looked at Guo Biting with a smile.
"I first met Ms. Guo when I was shooting a magazine cover. Such a beautiful lady, even if I only met her once, it is hard to forget her."
His words made Guo Biting on the opposite side smile even more brightly.
"It was three years ago when we were shooting for Harper's Bazaar. I never thought that Mr. Gu would still remember that fleeting moment."
That being said, she remembered it better than Gu Wei.
Originally, CTS contacted Guo Biting's agency and asked her to accompany a big shot from the mainland, but she wanted to refuse at first.
But when she later found out it was Gu Wei, she took the job without hesitation.
She was deeply impressed by their meeting three years ago. In addition, Gu Wei's fame and status have soared in recent years, reaching a height that she cannot reach. If it weren't for this opportunity, she might not have any intersection with him in the future.
Moreover, Guo Biting knew that Gu Wei was a young and handsome man born in 1992, so she was getting the upper hand no matter how she looked at it.
The dinner was a great success for both the host and the guests. The cooperation between CTS and TVB was a win-win situation. CTS got excellent TV series, which greatly increased the ratings and made a lot of money from attracting investment. TVB also needed a local TV station partner in Taiwan.
Therefore, both Director Chen and Gu Wei were very polite in their communication. In addition, the beautiful lady Guo Biting sat next to Gu Wei, pouring wine and chatting from time to time. The atmosphere at the dinner table was very pleasant from beginning to end.
Chen Tai was not alone, he brought several senior executives from CTS with him. Yang Dan, as Gu Wei's executive agent, followed him all year round. He was good at arranging and handling various matters, but he was not good at drinking at the dinner table.
Although Gu Wei could drink a lot, he was still a little drunk in the end.
