Chapter 595 All Sweet Girls
Gu Wei's seat was the sofa in the middle of the first row. Besides Yang Mi, Huang Xiaoming and Huang Bo were sitting with him.
After he came over, he greeted the two of them first, and then chatted with them casually.
Yang Mi also came over and sat down quickly, and the [Starlight Awards] was about to begin.
“What’s it like to be a mentor on a music program?”
Gu Wei glanced in the direction of the "Son of Tomorrow" team and said to Yang Mi with a smile.
“Not a mentor, but a star promoter”
Yang Mi explained and then stared at Gu Wei.
"Why do your words sound more sarcastic?"
"How is that possible? I've never participated in this kind of program. I'm just asking out of curiosity. Sister Mi, you're too sensitive." Gu Wei would of course not admit it.
Yang Mi didn't care too much and explained seriously.
"The Penguin program originally wanted to promote the virtual idol Hertz, who would rival the virtual singer Luo Tianyi. If that succeeds, it would open up a new path.
In the future, the same method can be used to cultivate other virtual stars that can be fully controlled by the company.
But at the beginning, the popularity of the show was not increasing until Mao Buyi unexpectedly became famous.
In the end, the production team also realized that the virtual idol path was simply not feasible."
"Mao Buyi, I've heard his song [Xiaochou], he's quite talented." To be honest, Gu Wei had thought about copying his song a few years ago, but later chose [The Lone Brave Man] which he liked more.
"Maomao is very interesting. He was very nervous when he was about to perform on the show and drank half a bottle of baijiu before going on stage.
After seeing Xue Zhiqian, he was very excited and said that he finally saw a real star. Yang Mi thought of Mao Buyi's embarrassing incident during the previous recording of the program and shared it with Gu Wei as an interesting story.
“Haha, this guy is pretty cute when you say that.
It’s the first time for an amateur to step onto such a big stage, so it’s inevitable to be excited and nervous.”
"You will never guess what Mao Buyi did before he became a singer.
I was also surprised when he said it on the spot.
No one would have thought that Maomao, who is so talented in music, used to work as a male nurse.
Gu Wei smiled. He knew Mao Buyi's original occupation. Male nurses were rare, and he was probably the only male nurse in China who was so talented in music.
The two of them didn't chat for long before the [Starlight Awards] officially began.
The host came on stage to open the show, and the award ceremony officially began with a song and dance performance.
Generally speaking, at an awards ceremony, important awards will be given out later.
But today was a little different. Not long after the show started, the host announced the awards for TV Drama Actor and Actress of the Year.
The winners were Jin Dong and Zhao Liying.
The two of them went on stage to receive their awards separately, and the person who presented the award to Zhao Liying was Hou Hongliang who was present today.
In addition to being the award presenter today, Mr. Hou is also an award winner. The drama "The Lost Tomb: The Mystical Ancient City" produced by him won the annual online drama award.
After receiving the award, Zhao Liying thanked everyone and then apologized to everyone, saying that she could not stay longer due to filming schedule and would leave the scene after receiving the award.
Everyone gave her a warm round of applause for winning the award.
Zhao Liying walked down the stage with the trophy, waved in the direction of Gu Wei, and then walked out of the venue.
"[Noon Sunshine] is so fond of her?" Yang Mi looked at Zhao Liying's high spirits after winning the award, and the high praise given to her by the award presenter Hou Hongliang, and said with some indignation.
"How should I put it? Although Zhao Liying's acting skills aren't top-notch, she works really hard."
"effort?
If hard work could get you ahead in the entertainment industry, most of the extras in Hengdian would be famous." Zhao Liying has been intentionally or unintentionally marketing herself and creating an inspirational persona since her rise to fame, but Yang Mi, who is well aware of the industry's rules, disagrees.
There are many actors who work hard to film, but how many of them can become famous?
“Hard work is only part of the reason for her success.
He has good conditions and is also blessed with a certain amount of luck.
After becoming famous, he did not slack off, but carefully selected the script that suited him and then completed the filming meticulously.
With such progress day after day, her efforts were naturally noticed by many people.
Being able to reach the current position is both accidental and inevitable."
After Gu Wei finished speaking, Yang Mi beside him fell silent.
Unlike Zhao Liying, she had a higher starting point after entering the circle. It can be said that she became famous at a young age. Later, the drama "Palace" made her extremely popular.
However, after Yang Mi became famous, she only thought about how to become more famous or how to make more money. She never considered acting with her heart and making better works.
It was in these years that she reached a certain level in the field she was good at and wanted to seek transformation, so she thought more about it.
After Zhao Liying passed away, awards were also presented to other stars.
Tang Yan won the [All-Round Artist of the Year Award] and Reba won the [Most Popular TV Actress of the Year Award].
Song Zuer and another female artist Li Yitong who sat with her jointly won the [New Female Artist of the Year Award].
Li Yitong is not Li Yitong, the female star who has played the leading role in many hit dramas but is never popular. Instead, she is an artist under Siba Media and a member of SH48.
Two other actresses on the same sofa, Bai Lu and Cai Wenjing, won the [Annual Potential TV Drama Actress Award].
These little girls are all very young and are just starting to gain fame, so few people pay attention to them.
Fan Bingbing, who was present today, received the [Influential Artist of the Year Award].
Huang Xiaoming and Huang Bo, who were beside Gu Wei, were awarded the "Public Welfare Figure of the Year" and "Film Actor of the Year" respectively.
Finally, Gu Wei and Yang Mi came on stage to receive this year's Tengxun Video's [VIP Star] award.
[Starlight Awards] lasted for more than 4 hours. After it ended, Gu Wei was walking out and Song Zuer hurried over to him.
Gu Wei was a little confused, but when he heard her request, he smiled.
I didn't leave in a hurry and took a few photos with some new female stars.
At night, in the luxury house of [Fanyue 108] community, Reba behaved very enthusiastically in front of Gu Wei.
In recent months, both of them have been very busy with work and have rarely had the opportunity to meet.
So when they finally met today at the Starlight Awards venue, she kept sending messages to Gu Wei.
Next to Reba were Wu Gang and Yue Xiuqing, who played Li Dakang and his wife Ouyang Qing respectively in "In the Name of People". In fact, they were also a couple outside the play.
Zhang Han was sitting at the very edge, chatting with Wu Gang from time to time.
Reba didn't know any of them and sat there very awkwardly the whole time, with almost no communication.
However, after seeing Gu Wei's reply, Reba's mood instantly became happy, and she remained in a very good state throughout the entire evening party.
Although it is winter, the bedroom is very warm. After a round of exercise, Reba has a layer of sweat on her body.
The long wavy hair was a little tangled, with some strands stuck to the sides of the face and neck.
She lay on her side beside Gu Wei, with a beautiful back under her slender neck and her skin was fair and delicate, extremely attractive.
Reba's buttocks are very firm and perky, which is very advantageous when she wears clothes. Now, from Gu Wei's perspective, they are also extremely sexy.
"The female celebrities who were with Song Zuer today looked very unfamiliar." Reba took a breath for a while and recovered some of her strength.
"They are a few newcomers, very young, and have just entered the circle. Of course, they look unfamiliar to me." Gu Wei gently stroked her hair and pushed aside the hair that was standing on her face.
"It's good to be young," Reba said with a pout and a hint of jealousy.
Gu Wei looked down at her with a smile, and one of his hands slid down Reba's hair to her beautiful back.
"You are indeed very young, but your looks are quite average. I feel like many of the new generation of young actresses are not very good-looking. They are not as stunningly beautiful as you."
"Hey, do I have it?
You're exaggerating." Gu Wei was obviously trying to cheer Reba up, but she fell for it.
“I’m telling the truth.
This year, more and more female celebrities are going for the sweet and cute route, while there are almost no bright and beautiful beauties at first glance."
"There are so many beautiful women from major universities entering the entertainment industry every year. Why does this happen?"
"It's a market choice. Compared to the cold and bright beauties, the sweet girls are less aggressive, cute, and harmless.
It is easier to be liked by everyone and thus enter the hearts of the audience."
What Gu Wei said was absolutely correct.
Nazha was signed by Tangren because of her good looks. Even after being given a lot of resources, she was still not very popular, and her appearance played a big role in the reason.
Nazha's beauty is very aggressive and not easy for people to approach, so when she first debuted, she was easily remembered by the audience because of her appearance, but not many people liked her.
It was not until she later filmed "Love O2O" with Gu Wei and borrowed the affinity of the character Bei Weiwei that she became famous.
"The company previously transferred the copyright of 'Three Lives, Three Worlds, The Pillow Book' to Jiaxing Entertainment. I heard from them that the filming of this drama should start soon, right?"
"Filming will start after the Chinese New Year. I'll probably be promoting 'Sorrow's Grocery Store' with the crew these days. After the movie is released, I'll join the crew to film 'A Dream of Splendor'."
Gu Wei nodded.
"Speaking of which, my "Ex-Files 3" and "The Little Mermaid" were both released on New Year's Day, so we are rivals this time."
"Forget it. I rarely make movies, so my expectations are low. It's unrealistic to compare myself with you. As long as the film doesn't lose money, I'll consider it a success."
Reba has a relatively clear understanding of herself.
The next morning, the two left [Fanyue 108] separately.
Gu Wei has been very busy. Since the hit drama "You Are My Glory", Reba's schedule has been even fuller than Gu Wei's.
Jiaxing has finally produced its second big star besides Yang Mi, so naturally they won’t let her have any time to spare.
But Reba didn't care about it. She had just tasted the joy of becoming famous and was full of passion for her work.
In mid-December, several Lunar New Year blockbusters were released one after another.
Among them are Feng Xiaogang's "Youth", Chen Kaige's "Legend of the Cat Demon", Cheng Long's "Bleeding Steel" and Deng Chao's "Psychological Crime: City of Light".
Judging from the box office performance of several movies after their release, "Youth" is undoubtedly the most successful movie so far in this year's Lunar New Year holiday.
After 9 days of release, the box office has reached nearly 800 million yuan, and the Douban score is 8.1, which can be said to be a double harvest of box office and reputation.
Apart from this, the performance of the other three films was not satisfactory.
It is said that the investment in "Legend of the Demon Cat" was close to 1 billion, but the box office in the first week was only over 200 million.
The box office of "Bleeding Steel" and "City of Lights" are not as good as "Legend of the Demon Cat", and their reputation is even worse.
Some netizens compared "Legend of the Demon Cat" with the previous terrible movie "The Promise".
However, most of the audience who watched the movie gave it a positive review.
Apart from some fragmented stories, in terms of color, scenes, and character design, "Legend of the Demon Cat" is one of the better films shot by Brother Chen Kai in recent years.
Much stronger than [Wuji].
Moreover, although the investment in this movie is very high, the magnificent Tang City in the movie was actually built with money paid for by the Xiangyang government. The producer's actual investment in the filming was only more than 200 million yuan, so based on the current box office, there is no problem in making a profit.
Before New Year's Day, Gu Wei was very busy at work.
I have to attend the promotional activities for "Ex-Files 3", rehearse for Mango TV's New Year's Eve Gala, and deal with some matters at my own company.
"Boss, here is a performance invitation from the United States, inviting you to perform at the American Football League's annual championship game, the Super Bowl, in February."
"Why did they ask me to be the guest singer at the Super Bowl?" In the office, Gu Wei was looking at a pile of scripts brought by Yang Liwen.
After asking a question, I immediately responded.
"Is it the bridge built by LV?"
“To be precise, it was LV and Bulgari who jointly helped you connect.
The Super Bowl has not only invited you to perform, but also hopes that you can become its Chinese ambassador."
The most popular sport in the United States is neither the world-famous football nor the NBA that many Chinese people love to watch, but rugby, also known as American football.
The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the NFL Professional Football League. Although it is not very famous in China, it is an important day in the United States that is comparable to Christmas and Thanksgiving.
The game is usually held on the last Sunday of January or the first Sunday of February each year and is known as Super Bowl Sunday.
The participating teams are the champions of the American Football Conference and the National Football Conference that season.
The Super Bowl has been the most watched television program in the United States for many years and has gradually become an unofficial national holiday in the United States.
Super Bowl Sunday is also the second-highest single-day food consumption day in the United States, behind only Thanksgiving.
The Super Bowl Halftime Show is known as the "American Spring Festival Gala". Every year, the most famous singers from all over the world are invited to perform. It is a major entertainment attraction of the American sports feast.
"LV and Bulgari hope that you, the boss, can have a wider influence in North America. After all, you are now their global spokesperson.
The Super Bowl also wants to take this opportunity to expand its domestic market."
"No problem, this is also a good opportunity." Gu Wei thought about it for a moment and accepted the invitation.
