Chapter 589 Ex-girlfriend
"Good morning~"
"morning!"
After a crazy night, the two woke up early the next morning and greeted each other while lying on the big bed.
Gu Wei swore that he really had no feelings for Zhao Liying at the beginning and just treated her as a friend. However, the atmosphere was so tense last night and the other party's intentions were very clear. He was not Liu Xiahui, so how could he remain indifferent?
If he really refused, they might not even be friends anymore.
Of course, Gu Wei also had to admit that when he was spending so much time with the actors and filming these romantic scenes, he couldn't help but be moved sometimes. There is no such thing as pure friendship between men and women.
The reason for not taking the initiative is simply the restraint after weighing the pros and cons.
"My body feels a little sore, you are still so rude." Zhao Liying sat up after waking up, raised her hand and stretched.
The slender and beautiful figure was displayed in front of Gu Wei without reservation, with a beautiful back that was white and delicate, except for a slight disharmony at the waist.
She seems to be very generous and doesn't have the shyness of a little girl at all.
"Still?" Gu Wei was a little confused, and then he was attracted by the scar on Zhao Liying's back.
"When were you injured?"
"It was a long time ago. I fell off a horse during a shoot."
Gu Wei frowned slightly and reached out to gently stroke the mark on his spine.
"Is the injury completely healed? Why don't you treat the scar? With current technology, it should be invisible after lightening and repairing it."
Zhao Liying also felt the warmth on her back.
"The injury healed long ago, and I didn't pay much attention to the scar being in an inconspicuous place like my back. Besides, I've been very busy over the years and haven't had time to deal with it."
As she said this, she took her pajamas from the bedside and put them on.
"But you're right. I really need to get it fixed when I have time, otherwise I won't be able to wear a backless dress on the red carpet anymore."
After they woke up, they chatted casually in bed, just like usual.
It seemed that what happened last night was as natural and calm as eating and drinking.
Zhao Liying didn't say anything, and Gu Wei didn't say anything more either.
"Um, I have to get up and go back to my room, otherwise my assistant will come looking for me soon."
"All right."
Gu Wei just lay on the bed and watched Zhao Liying put on her clothes, turned around, waved to him, and then went out.
Half a day later, the two went on stage as usual.
After the wedding scene was filmed, the rest of the scenes were about Minglan becoming a wife.
The relationship between her and Gu Tingye also evolved from knowing each other to becoming a loving couple who truly shared weal and woe.
Zhao Liying and Gu Wei's performances are getting better and better. When they are in the same frame, they really have the feeling of a young couple living together. Many shots were taken in one take, which surprised director Zhang Kaizhou.
It seems that Zhao Liying is Minglan, and Gu Wei is Gu Tingye, and the characters and actors completely overlap.
After that night, Zhao Liying came to see Gu Wei every night as usual, but this time she really read the script at night, and she read it all night long.
However, apart from that, the two of them would discuss the script, chat and laugh normally. It seemed that apart from their closer relationship, the way they got along was not much different from before.
On October 28, Gu Wei took leave from the crew and returned to Beijing to attend the "Men and Women Versus" themed press conference held by "Ex-Files 3: Goodbye Exes".
For this press conference, the main creators gathered in full force for the first time and made a grand appearance. At the same time, they officially announced that "Ex-Files 3" will be released on December 29, and will officially meet audiences across the country at that time.
Gu Wei took a flight in the morning and arrived in Beijing at noon.
After changing clothes and putting on makeup, I took a car to the press conference venue.
I went backstage and greeted Tian Yusheng, Zheng Kai and others, waiting for the press conference to begin.
"You've been very busy lately, and you're the last one to arrive today."
Nini wore a white long dress with no complicated design and a clean style. With her slim figure and elegant temperament, she looked both pure and seductive.
Gu Wei knew what she meant. On the night of the Bazaar Charity Night, Ni Ni was one of the people he rejected.
"I'm really busy. I rushed here right after my flight landed this morning."
"From where? Hengdian?"
"Yes, I'm filming a costume drama."
"Has the previous movie been completed?" Ni Ni knew that Gu Wei was making a science fiction movie.
"My scene is over, but the crew hasn't finished filming yet."
"Aren't you the protagonist?"
"That movie has two plot lines. The protagonist of the other plot is Wu Jing, but it should be finished soon. It should be all wrapped up next month."
"This is your second collaboration with Wu Jing. This gimmick alone is worth a billion at the box office."
Ni Ni was surprised. The performance of "Wolf Warrior 2" was too exaggerated. Gu Wei and Wu Jing were now the most valuable pair in the entertainment industry.
"This film was decided before Wolf Warrior 2 was released, and we didn't expect the first collaboration to be so successful.
I remember that in December, besides our film "Ex-Files 3," you also have another movie coming out, right?"
Nini nodded.
"[The Thousand Faces of Dunjia], a fantasy martial arts film co-produced with Dapeng"
"It's a big production, with Xu Ke and Yuan Heping. Putting everything else aside, the action and special effects are definitely maxed out."
"I hope so. After hanging on wires in the green screen studio for several months, I have no idea what the final effect will be. But to be honest, I feel that the story of that film is not very good. I hope the action and special effects can make up for it." Ni Ni shrugged. She had nothing to hide from Gu Wei and told him her true feelings about filming the movie.
“It’s true that neither Xu Ke nor Yuan Heping are good storytellers.
In this regard, I think Dapeng has more potential. His film "Sewing Machine Band" this month is pretty good.
To be honest, I am optimistic about his future development."
"Dapeng." Ni Ni muttered after hearing what Gu Wei said.
Although they had worked together on a movie, she and Dapeng really didn't have much of a relationship.
The other party is a new director who has emerged in recent years, and "The Pancake Man" made him famous.
However, looking at the eleventh slot of [Sewing Machine Band], it seems that it has not been able to maintain its upward momentum, and it is hard to say what the future holds.
"Have you been in the capital since Bazaar?"
"No, although I'm not as busy as you, I've also been filming in the second half of the year and just came back from filming a few days ago."
"New movie?" Gu Wei was a little curious.
Ni Ni shook her head. "It's a TV series based on the novel of the same name, [Phoenix Power]."
"You've also come down to earth to film a TV series," Gu Wei joked.
"What do you mean by coming down to earth? Haven't you been filming a TV series?"
"It's different. I became famous through TV dramas. Although I have made a lot of movies in recent years, I have not given up TV dramas.
Is this [Phoenix Power] your first TV series since you entered the industry? "
Nini nodded.
“Well, it’s my first time being electrocuted.”
"What are you thinking?" Gu Wei acted like a tabloid reporter, almost asking about the psychological journey.
Ni Ni looked around and leaned closer to him, saying softly, "There's no way. I didn't even think about taking the job at first. Who would have thought that TV dramas are so profitable now? They pay so much."
Gu Wei understood immediately, and then he asked curiously, "How much?"
Nini made a 9 gesture.
In front of Gu Wei, the most profitable star in the entertainment industry, there is no need for her to hide her income.
"Wow, that's so much! The producers are really generous. It's even higher than my current salary."
"How is that possible?"
"Really? Now, I basically have a share of the investment in every role I take on, so the pay doesn't seem that outrageous."
Nini looked at him with disdain.
"Your main occupation now is no longer an actor but a capitalist, and everyone works for you.
Just from the movie "Wolf Warrior 2," you'll make a fortune."
"【Phoenix Power】." Gu Wei muttered. He remembered that this TV series seemed to be renamed "The Rise of Phoenixes" later.
"It's a drama about ancient palace intrigues. It feels a bit similar to your previous drama Nirvana in Fire. It's also a story about princes fighting for the throne." Ni Ni thought Gu Wei didn't understand, so she explained it to him in detail.
“The investment is huge, both the set and the decoration are very exquisite, and it feels like the crew is very ambitious.
The leading actor is Chen Kun, and the supporting actors are also quite famous, such as Ni Dahong, Yuan Hong, Liu Mintao, Zhang Xiaochen, and Wang Ou."
Ni Ni is very confident about this TV series which she is filming for the first time. Whether it is from the scale of investment, production team or cast, it is absolutely top in the industry.
"Teacher Chen Kun is a good actor, but I'm more curious about who the mother of his child is."
"Pfft, how can you be like this, staring at other people's gossip." Nini smiled and patted Gu Wei's arm.
"This was also my first time working with Mr. Chen Kun. Honestly, his acting was really good. He was incredibly dedicated, focused, and professional.
that is"
"What is it?"
"I just feel like there's no CP feel between me and him as a couple.
In the scenes where we are together, I always feel like he is competing with me for beauty."
Nini's big, gentle eyes blinked, as if she was thinking about what happened during the previous filming.
Gu Wei smiled after hearing her words.
"Teacher Chen Kun has a kind of feminine beauty, and you are so cool, maybe this is the chemical reaction between you two."
"Who's got A?"
"You, isn't it?" Gu Wei's eyes swept across Nini's upper body, and his words were a double entendre, causing Nini to giggle and slap his arm again.
In the lounge backstage, Gu Wei and Ni Ni were chatting happily. Yu Wenwen, who was not far away, felt a little jealous when she saw Ni Ni's happy smile.
Although the two of them were polite to each other on the surface when filming on the set, Yu Wenwen never forgot that Huayi had originally decided that she would be the female lead, but in the end it was snatched away by Ni Ni, and she could only play the third female role.
In her opinion, Nini is just lucky.
He is not a professional actor, and he became famous only because of Zhang Yimou's support when he debuted.
Although she is not very famous at the moment, with Huayi as her backer, I believe she will become famous sooner or later.
“Unfortunately, the crew was unable to capture Gu Wei during filming.
Otherwise, my future career path would be much easier." Yu Wenwen murmured.
Just as I was thinking about it, the staff came to the lounge and informed everyone to go on stage.
The time for the press conference to begin is approaching soon.
Led by director Tian Yusheng, the group walked to the front stage.
Today's "Men and Women Versus" themed press conference attracted many reporters and fans.
As soon as the main creative team appeared, thunderous cheers and shouts came from the audience.
"Gu Wei!"
"Hubby, I love you!"
"Nini is so beautiful!"
"Gu Wei, I want to give birth to a baby for you!"
“.”
The female fans' shouting was normal, but the one saying "I'm giving birth to a monkey" had a very rough male voice, and after he finished shouting, the whole place burst into laughter.
The people on the stage were also laughing so hard that Ni Ni turned around and gave Gu Wei a look with a smile.
Meaning 'Your fans are really diverse, there are all kinds of them.'
"The male fan who just said he wanted to give birth to a baby for me, please don't leave. Come backstage and let's discuss the feasibility of your idea." Gu Wei picked up the microphone and made a joke, and the whole audience laughed again.
There was nothing new in the content of the press conference.
As usual, we will first conduct press interviews.
Although [Ex-Files 3] is the third film in the series, the two new leading actors, Gu Wei and Ni Ni, attracted the most attention.
"Director Tian, what made you replace the original cast and choose Gu Wei as the new male lead in [Ex-Files 3]?"
Tian Yusheng smiled when he heard the reporter's question.
"Actually, those who have watched a few of the films should know that the original cast of the "Ex-Files" series doesn't actually exist. If there is one, it's probably only Zheng Kai."
Everyone laughed when he finished speaking.
“There’s no necessary plot connection between the first two films.
Now the same is true for the third film. Although the names of the characters have not changed, we are still telling a brand new story.
But there is a theme running through this series, which is a discussion about love, regrets and exes."
"I'd like to ask Gu Wei, what made you take on this low-budget romance film?"
“Everyone should know that I like to try making films with different themes.
Before filming "Ex-Files 3", I had only filmed one love movie, "The Left Ear".
But that film is essentially a youth pain film, not a true love film.
After I got the script of "Ex-Files 3", I found that it was a movie that truly explored the work, life and love of adults. I was very interested, so I took it up without hesitation.
This can be considered my first true love movie," Gu Wei said very solemnly.
However, his explanation does make some sense. Unlike some young actors who have been making romance movies since their debut, Gu Wei has starred in martial arts, fantasy, suspense detective, military, police and gangster, and even science fiction films over the years. On the contrary, there has not been a single romance movie that is most suitable for young actors.
Of course, these days, love elements are indispensable in any type of movie.
"Can I ask, Teacher Nini, why did you take on this film?"
After Gu Wei finished answering, the media turned the topic to Nini.
"Because of Gu Wei." Ni Ni said without hesitation.
"After the crew sent me the invitation, I asked who the male lead was, and they said it was Gu Wei, so I immediately accepted it.
Hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to him."
As she spoke, she turned to look at Gu Wei beside her. He also looked at her, and the two smiled at each other.
This scene will be on the screen, and little pink hearts will definitely be added in the later stage.
The fans at the scene started to boo again.
"Don't you need to see the script?"
Remember to keep asking.
Nini blinked her big eyes and looked at him strangely.
"Gu Wei has checked it for me. It seems that the movies he has chosen have never failed since his debut. Even if I don't believe in myself, I have to believe in him."
There is nothing wrong with it. Although Nini’s answer is not true, it is completely logically sound.
She really didn't need to read the script because this opportunity was given to her by Gu Wei.
"Teacher Gu Wei, you took on the role in "Ex-Files 3," so do you have an ex in real life?"
This question once again shifted everyone's attention to Gu Wei.
Since entering the industry, Gu Wei has always maintained a single image. When asked in many interviews whether he has a girlfriend, he always said no.
This time, they were not asking him whether he had a girlfriend, but about his ex. Everyone wanted to hear what Gu Wei had to say.
Not only the media and fans, but also several main creators on the stage turned their heads slightly to look at Gu Wei. Everyone was curious about how he would answer.
"Of course I have an ex. I'm 25 years old now. It's unrealistic to say that I have never been in love." Gu Wei was very sincere, but after he said that, there was a lot of discussion in the audience. In addition to fans, the media were also very excited.
The ex-girlfriend of the big star Gu Wei, this news is even more explosive than today's press conference.
"Can you tell us what her name is?"
Only people in a small circle knew that Nazha and Zhang Tianai had dated Gu Wei. Even if there were rumors or paparazzi reports, no one would take it seriously without real evidence and the person themselves admitting it.
After all, there are too many actresses who have been rumored to have affairs with Gu Wei, and netizens can't tell who is real and who is fake.
"This is not very convenient." Gu Wei smiled.
"Is your ex-girlfriend also a star in the entertainment industry?" The reporter who asked the question reacted very quickly. Seeing that Gu Wei was unwilling to return, he immediately narrowed the scope in another way.
"Yes." Everyone exclaimed again, and this time the scope was much smaller.
"Are you still active now? Is you famous?"
"I might as well tell you his name." Seeing that Gu Wei was not falling for it, Ji had to ask something else.
“So what’s the status between you and your ex-girlfriend, stranger?
Will it be awkward to meet again?"
Gu Wei smiled and shook his head.
"We can still be friends after breaking up."
After the question-and-answer session, the creators played some small games together, and then selected some lucky audience members to come on stage to interact with Gu Wei, Zheng Kai and others.
However, after the explosive news just revealed in the question, the media were somewhat uninterested in the following segments.
Everyone is waiting for the press conference to end, and quickly get the news out and send it out. Tomorrow’s hot search is already scheduled!
