Chapter 543 Small Gift
The next morning, when Gu Wei got up, Reba was no longer by his side.
Although she said she was not afraid, she actually cared very much about what others said, so she got up early, got dressed, and sneaked back to her room.
After washing up, Gu Wei came out to have breakfast and formally met with several members of the Running Man team. Reba pretended to have just found out and looked at him with surprise.
Gu Wei felt that Reba’s acting skills at this time were even better than when she was filming.
"Brother Chao, I'll need your help during today's recording." Gu Wei exchanged a few words with the Running Man team. Since they were all acquaintances, he didn't act too polite.
"No problem, leave it to me," Deng Chao took the responsibility.
"Instead of asking Brother Chao for help, why not ask me for help? I've also been very strong recently." Chen He interrupted with a smile.
"You? There's always a losing team without you. It's good enough that you don't cause more trouble." Zheng Kai said disdainfully.
"I'm just conserving my strength, waiting to explode in the last round." Chen He retorted unwillingly. He could be a dwarf in actions but he had to be a giant in words. After all, bragging was tax-free.
"Brother Chao, I'm sorry for bothering you before." Gu Wei ignored the bickering between Chen He and Zheng Kai, and then thanked Deng Chao beside him.
He has a good relationship with Deng Chao. This time, he asked Deng Chao to take care of Reba on the show. Deng Chao really put his heart into it, and Gu Wei should appreciate his favor.
"Why are you being so polite to me? It's just a matter of convenience." Deng Chao glanced at Reba and waved his hand with a smile.
Taking care of Reba, a new girl on Running Man, is really nothing for him.
Since Gu Wei has opened his mouth, he must give this face.
Reba listened to them with a smile, saying nothing, but feeling extremely happy in her heart.
Lu Han watched Gu Wei and Deng Chao from the side. He certainly knew what they meant because Gu Wei had mentioned the same thing to him.
But what made him curious was what the relationship between Gu Wei and Reba was.
Last year, he filmed "Fighter of the Destiny" with Nazha, which indirectly showed that Gu Wei and Nazha had a special relationship. Now Gu Wei asked them to take care of Reba, who became popular this year. Moreover, these two actresses are both from frontier areas, so he is not very clear about the relationship between them.
However, Lu Han was not a gossipy person. Whether Gu Wei was a scumbag or how many girlfriends he had was none of his business. He just happened to know more and was a little curious.
"I didn't come to Running Man empty-handed this time. I brought some small gifts for everyone." After chatting for a few more sentences, Gu Wei said with a smile.
"There are also gifts. What are they?" Chen He asked first, and the others also looked curious.
“It’s not anything too valuable. I gave everyone two bottles of Bordeaux wine.
This trip to France for work just gave me this opportunity.
The batch I got is 5 years old, and the workers just poured it out of the oak barrels in the winery and poured it into bottles a few days ago.
I tasted it and it tasted really good." As Gu Wei was speaking, the assistant and several staff members had already brought Gu Wei's wine over.
When he left the manor, he not only mailed a batch of wine back to the country, but also took some with him.
Since I'm going to participate in Running Man soon, I plan to give it to a few people.
Just like Gu Wei said, although it is not expensive, it is a token of my thoughtfulness.
He mainly gave it to Deng Chao and a few others, while Baby, Li Chen and Wang Zulan were just borrowing the light from others.
Fortunately, Gu Wei took a private jet throughout the trip, so it was convenient to carry things.
"Uh huh?" Deng Chao took the crimson wine bottle, looked at the hieroglyphic letters on it, and tried to guess which word would be the largest and most eye-catching.
"It's pronounced 'Unicorn', which means unicorn, Brother Chao," Baby, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand Deng Chao's Chinese pronunciation and reminded him.
"It looks so high-end. How much is this bottle?" Li Chen knows a little about red wine, but he has never heard of this brand.
“It’s certainly not as good as top-tier red wines like Lafite and Latour, but in terms of both raw materials and craftsmanship, it’s considered to be in the upper middle range of Bordeaux.
As for the price, I don’t know, as this brand of wine is no longer available on the market.”
Because Unico Estate has been making losses in recent years, it has not sold any wine in the past six months since it was listed for sale.
After Gu Wei took over, he arranged the planting of the vineyard and winemaking as usual. As for whether to sell it in the future, he has not yet decided.
Anyway, the wine cellar is very large, and Unico Estate is just a small estate, so there is room to store the wine produced every year if it is not sold.
"Brother Wei, didn't you buy this wine?
Could it be a gift from a friend?" Lu Han held the bottle in his hand with a puzzled look on his face.
Gu Wei smiled.
“The last time I attended London Fashion Week, Mr. Bernard, the president of the LV Group, gave me two boxes of Lafite and a few bottles of Romanee-Conti. After that, I became interested in wine.
This time I took the opportunity to come to France for work, so I went to Bordeaux and bought a wine estate in the Médoc region on the left bank.
The wine in your hands is the wine produced by Unico Estate in 2012. It has been stored for 5 years and it tastes the best.
If you think it tastes good, you can tell me and I will get it for you."
It is like walking in the night in fine clothes when one does not return to his hometown due to wealth. With Gu Wei's status, it is impossible for him to tell the public how rich he is, but he can show off to his friends in the circle such as Deng Chao and Lu Han.
It's just like a child showing off his new toy to other children.
"Brother Wei, you are so generous that you bought a winery just for your own drinking!" Lu Han sighed.
The others looked at the wine in their hands and nodded.
"In recent years, it seems that many wealthy people in China have bought wine estates." Deng Chao liked to have a drink when he had nothing to do, and he became interested in this matter after hearing what Gu Wei said.
"Yes, Ma Yun alone has bought several estates, and there are many wealthy people from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, but they buy estates in order to sell wine in China, and they treat it as a business."
"How much did you pay for this Unico Manor?" Chen He asked curiously.
“16 million.”
"That's not particularly expensive." For the stars of Running Man, 16 million is really nothing. Their pay for filming a movie is higher than this.
"Euro." After Gu Wei added the currency unit, several people fell silent.
"You spent more than 100 million on drinking?" Deng Chao was extremely surprised, and felt that the red wine in his hand suddenly became heavier.
More than 100 million is not a small number for him. He can afford this money, but it must be invested in important projects. He is not so extravagant as to spend more than 100 million just to drink a sip of homemade wine.
Others also looked at Gu Wei in surprise.
In the entertainment industry, there are not many people with a net worth of over 100 million, and even fewer who can spend 100 million. It is extremely rare to spend 100 million just for enjoyment.
Baby, who was standing at the very edge, looked at Gu Wei with shining eyes.
Her husband Huang Xiaoming is considered a wealthy man among celebrities in the entertainment industry. Huang Xiaoming not only became famous early but is also good at investing and financial management. His net worth is one of the highest among domestic entertainment stars.
But compared with Gu Wei in front of him, it was nothing. The two of them had huge differences in appearance, fame and net worth.
"Forehead
I did pay a bit more for this, mainly because Domaine Unique is a Médoc Third Growth.
This is the same as domestic liquor, which is also brewed from grains. The reason why Moutai and Wuliangye are expensive is entirely because of the brewing process.
Normally, small wineries purchased by some wealthy people in China are not so expensive. I heard from the agent that Zhao Wei’s Menglong Winery seemed to be only 4.5 million euros.
By the way, I remember that Xiaoming also has his own winery in France?" Gu Wei said and looked at Baby.
"There is one that I bought in partnership with someone in 2015 for a total of over 30 million yuan, but the annual maintenance costs are several million yuan.
The domestic red wine industry has been sluggish in the past two years, and Xiaoming seems to be planning to sell the winery."
Baby explained, and everyone also learned some details about red wine and wineries.
A few people chatted about things related to red wine. Zheng Kai thought of something and looked at Gu Wei with a smile.
"I've been watching the news these past couple of days, and Gu Wei, you've gained a lot from this Paris Fashion Week!
Isn’t Hollywood’s sexy goddess Scarlett Johansson particularly beautiful?
Because of filming "Ex-Files 3" together, Zheng Kai and Gu Wei's relationship has become much better than before, and they can joke around when chatting together.
Especially in the crew of "Ex-Boyfriend", he vaguely knew that Gu Wei had a close relationship with the female lead Ni Ni. It was impossible for the crew to completely hide this kind of thing from everyone, but crew couples being together is not a big deal in the entertainment industry, so Zheng Kai didn't care too much.
But through all the things he knew, Zheng Kai understood Gu Wei's romantic nature.
The scandal between Gu Wei and Scarlett Johansson was very popular on the Internet a few days ago. It attracted more attention on foreign websites than in China. Many people just watched it and thought it was hype. However, Zheng Kai believed that if the male protagonist of the scandal was Gu Wei, many of the speculations reported by the media might be true.
After hearing what he said, others also looked at Gu Wei, especially a few boys.
Deng Chao smirked, "That's Marvel's 'Black Widow,' the dream girl of men all over the world. You're the first male celebrity in China to have a scandal with her, Gu Wei."
"This can be considered as bringing glory to the country," Chen He said with a wink and a somewhat obscene smile.
Everyone was teasing Gu Wei, except Reba who pouted unconsciously.
"You guys?" Gu Wei felt helpless.
"Scarlett is indeed very beautiful and lives up to her reputation as a Hollywood sex goddess.
But I've known her for a long time and we're pretty good friends, and it just so happened that we had the opportunity to work together this time."
"We understand. We all understand." Deng Chao was still smiling, and along with Chen He and Zheng Kai, he showed a smile that all men understood.
“Brother Chao, you are so interested in Scarlett.
Next year, when "The Avengers" is released, she will come to China to promote it. I'll introduce her to you then." Gu Wei was about to set a trap for Deng Chao.
"Okay!" Deng Chao didn't think there was any problem at all. Instead, he agreed very happily.
"Xiaolu, you heard it, right? When you go to Brother Chao's house for dinner later, you can talk to Sister Li about this. I also have Sister Li's phone number. You can talk to her when you have time later." Gu Wei turned his head and said to Lu Han, then raised his eyebrows at Deng Chao.
"Okay, Gu Wei, you are deliberately trying to trick me!
Humph, it's useless. Everyone knows that this is my position in the family!" He raised his thumb and made a gesture.
Chen He, who was standing by, had put his hand on Deng Chao's hand at some point, and then turned it 180 degrees, so that the thumb that was pointing up now pointed down.
Everyone burst into laughter when they saw this scene!
