Chapter 687 Love Brain and [Do You Know] Hot
"To be honest, when I first read the script, I also felt that the emotional plot was a bit redundant. The story of [The Climbers] has a prototype, and the main plot is definitely about defending national honor."
The final Outstanding Feature Film Award was being presented as normal on the stage, while Wu Jing and Gu Wei were chatting quietly below the stage.
"Then you didn't raise any opinions with the film company?"
"I said that, but the director and screenwriter both thought that simply climbing Mount Everest was too monotonous. Main-theme films can also have pure love. After all, climbers are ordinary people and have their own love lives.
I think that makes sense.”
“The only Hong Kong director I know who can make good mainstream films is Lam Chiu-Hsien.
I've also seen Lee Jen Hong's works, including "Resurrection of the Dragon," "The King's Guards," and "Lion Falls from the Sky." They feel they have too much of a Hong Kong flavor, and their storytelling skills are a bit lacking. I'm afraid that a film with a main theme like "The Climbers" might turn into a mountain-climbing version of "Titanic."
The more Wu Jing talked with Gu Wei, the more guilty he felt about the upcoming filming of "The Climbers", but there was nothing he could do. He had already signed the contract, and there were also personal relationships involved in taking on this film, so he couldn't go back on his word.
"Next month I plan to go to Gangshika Snow Mountain to experience it for a while. No matter what, since I've accepted the film, I have to do my best."
Gu Wei turned his head slightly and glanced at Wu Jing.
"I wish you all the best."
The award ceremony started at 8:15 and lasted for about 2 hours. After the last program "I Love You China" ended, the 17th China Film Huabiao Awards officially came to an end.
The guests left the stage one after another. In the audience, Yang Mi did not leave in a hurry. He looked up and around.
"Who are you looking for?" The baby next to her asked curiously after seeing her actions. The two of them were sitting next to each other in the venue.
"Nothing, where is Xiaoming waiting for you?" Yang Mi casually changed the subject.
"He should be backstage after the show just now. I'll go look for him."
"Let's go." Yang Mi was a little disappointed when she didn't see Gu Wei, and called Baby to get up and walk out together.
After the Huabiao Awards, Gu Wei came out of the Water Cube and went to a restaurant where he had an appointment with Jing Tian.
The midnight snack didn’t take too long, as it was mainly Gu Wei who was eating. Da Tiantian only ate a few bites to maintain her figure.
Although she didn’t eat much, Da Tiantian still got to eat what she wanted that night.
"Do you have time these days?"
"What's wrong?"
"I want to invite you to my house for dinner. My parents are in Beijing, and I want you to meet them."
Jing Tian's sudden invitation caught Gu Wei off guard, and his big hands that were originally wandering on the other's beautiful back stopped.
Da Tiantian is very beautiful and has a very good personality, but Gu Wei has no intention of giving up the entire forest for a tree.
But now it seems Jingtian is serious, which is consistent with her personality, she is obsessed with love.
“Well, I really want to go visit my uncle and aunt, but as you know, my schedule is quite full, so I may not have the time recently.
The drama "The Story of Minglan" that I filmed before will be online soon, and tomorrow I have to fly to Changsha to record "Happy Camp".
There are also award ceremonies on various platforms around New Year’s Day, and since they are all partners, I can’t not go, and then there’s the New Year’s Eve concert.”
Gu Wei gave one reason after another, but Jing Tian interrupted him before he could finish.
".I know you're very busy. Even if it's not possible now, you can always make some time later."
Her mood was a little low.
"I didn't tell my parents that you were my boyfriend, I just said that we had a good relationship and that you took special care of me at work.
They said they would invite you to their home when they have time to thank you in person."
It’s not that Da Tiantian doesn’t know who Gu Wei is. When they were just ordinary friends before, she knew that Gu Wei was a playboy.
But even though she knew it, she still slowly fell into it after getting in touch with it.
The reason why a scumbag is a scumbag is that he is good enough to make many girls who come into contact with him fall in love with him.
And every girl who falls in love with a scumbag thinks that she is the one who can make him turn back.
Jing Tian has this mentality now. She thinks that as long as she works hard enough, Gu Wei will be moved and come ashore one day.
"I'll contact you in advance when I'm free."
Gu Wei held Jing Tian in his arms and said that he didn't know when he could fulfill his promise.
"As you say"
#The 17th China Film Huabiao Awards, nearly 300 filmmakers attended, gathering the strongest lineup in the country! #
#10 Best Films Win Awards, Wu Jing and Chen Jin Win the Best Actress and Queen Award#
#Lin Chaoxian won the Best Director award, and [Operation Red Sea] and other films won the Outstanding Feature Film Award! #
The Huabiao Awards ceremony was broadcast live on CCTV-6, and various events that happened that night quickly appeared on the hot search list.
In addition to the normal reports, the scene where Zhang Ziyi was embarrassed by Chen Daoming's questions caused widespread discussion among netizens.
It was so embarrassing! It felt like Zhang Ziyi was being publicly executed. She had embarrassed herself in front of the entire film industry and audiences nationwide!
Watching the livestream, I felt like Zhang Ziyi was about to tap her toes. One second she was bragging about winning three Huabiao Awards, and the next second she didn't even know what the award was for.
This year's Huabiao Awards draw guest really didn't have a script and performed completely impromptu. Zhang Ziyi probably didn't expect Mr. Chen Daoming to be so disrespectful.
[Speaking of which, Chen Daoming was a bit aggressive. It was really embarrassing that he deliberately embarrassed Zhang Ziyi. Can't he be more gentlemanly? She is a woman after all. Why bother?]
Are the fans up there trying to whitewash him or attack him? Your logic is, "Ignoring the facts, he's not wrong?"
Zhang Ziyi boasted about having won the Huabiao Awards three times, and said she knew the difference between the three major domestic awards, but it turned out that she was at a loss for words when she tried to explain it.
This is a hole you dug yourself and jumped into, can you blame others? 】
[In fact, the three major awards in the domestic film industry are common knowledge for professional actors. Even some moviegoers know this. Zhang Ziyi can't blame anyone else for her disgrace this time.]
News and discussions about the Huabiao Awards flooded the internet, but had little to do with Gu Wei. The next morning, he said goodbye to Jing Tian and boarded a plane to Changsha.
Backstage at Mango TV, Gu Wei reunited with Zhao Liying, Zhu Yilong, Zhang Jianing, Shi Shi and other main actors of "The Story of Minglan".
"Congratulations, the new Hundred Flowers Award winner~" Zhao Liying was wearing a light blue dress, and her chubby little round face was very cute.
She is not particularly envious of Gu Wei's popularity, but she is very envious of awards such as Best Actor and Movie Actor.
Since "Legend of Lu Zhen", Zhao Liying has released a hit movie almost every year, and her popularity has reached the pinnacle among domestic female stars.
In her vision of her future career, on the one hand, she wants to develop into the film industry and achieve the transformation from a TV actor to a film actor. On the other hand, she hopes to be recognized by professional awards.
“Thank you, the Hundred Flowers Award is an audience award, it’s based on popularity.
Liying, you will get it sooner or later if you work so hard." Gu Wei encouraged with a smile.
"I don't dare to think about the movie right now, I just hope that after the broadcast of "Do You Know" I can gain something from it."
The movie "Journey to the West: The Women Kingdom" at the beginning of this year made all the efforts Zhao Liying had made to enter the film industry go to waste, and consumed a large part of her popularity and reputation. Now she just wants to make a comeback with "The Story of Minglan".
"Don't worry, I have confidence in [The Story of Minglan]. This film will definitely become your new masterpiece after it airs!"
"I hope so."
The recording of "Happy Camp" went very smoothly. Both Gu Wei and Zhao Liying are old friends of "Happy Camp" and are very familiar with the Happy Family led by He Jiong.
Moreover, "The Story of Minglan" is a super project that Mango TV has placed a heavy bet on, and it is given the best treatment in all aspects.
In the first half of this year, Mango TV spent 600 million yuan to purchase the TV premiere rights of "The Rise of Phoenixes", but the performance was extremely poor when it was broadcast online during the summer vacation.
"The Rise of Phoenixes" caused Mango TV a loss of nearly 500 million yuan, and the ratings after the broadcast set a record low for Mango TV. Mango TV's official Weibo and Golden Eagle Exclusive Theater even cancelled their attention to the "The Rise of Phoenixes" crew.
"The Rise of Phoenixes" suffered heavy losses, and Mango TV has placed all its hopes on "The Story of Minglan" at the end of the year, hoping that the show will be a huge hit in terms of viewership and can make up for the previous losses.
Tuesday, December 25th.
After a day of classes, Wang Ying had dinner in the cafeteria and returned to the dormitory.
After a simple wash, he sat down at the desk under his bed and opened his laptop.
"What time is it? Yingying!" The voice of my roommate came from the bathroom.
"It's 7:30 PM, and "The Story of Minglan" will be broadcast in five minutes!" Wang Ying answered loudly.
As soon as she finished speaking, a little girl in pink pajamas with a facial mask on her face came over from the direction of the bathroom and moved a chair to place it next to Wang Ying.
“Fortunately, we made it in time.”
Both of them are fans of Gu Wei, so they naturally can't miss the other's new drama.
The time soon came to 19:35, and the show "The Story of Minglan" began to air on the screen.
[The Story of Minglan] is broadcast on Mango TV's [Golden Eagle Exclusive Theater], with two episodes per night from Monday to Friday and one episode per night on weekends.
The two episodes of the day were aired quickly.
The ending music started playing, and the two girls in the dormitory looked at each other.
"Where's Gu Wei? Doesn't the protagonist appear in the first two episodes?"
"Uh~ Zhao Liying didn't appear either, it was all about the two of them when they were little, but the plot was still quite interesting."
"I still want Gu Wei to show up sooner."
Backstage of Mango TV.
Director Tian got all the data about the premiere of "The Story of Minglan" as soon as possible.
"Director, the average viewership rating for the premiere of [Do You Know?] today was 1.14, with a peak viewership rating of 1.25, 0.6 percentage points higher than the successor [That City, This Family]!"
"That's great! Judging from the premiere, the performance of [The Story of Minglan] will be great. I know Gu Wei and Zhao Liying will not disappoint!"
Director Tian was in a very good mood. The losses from the summer blockbuster "The Rise of Phoenixes" put too much pressure on him. If it weren't for the huge profit from "Go Go Squid!" at the beginning of the year, he would not have been able to keep his position as director.
"Unfortunately, the top-rated local TV station is still [A Flowing River], with an average rating of 1.34. [The Story of Minglan] is still a bit behind."
Assistant Xiao Zhang said.
"This is the premiere, and neither of the two main actors has appeared yet. In my opinion, it will only be a matter of a few days before it surpasses 'A Flowing River'!"
Director Tian said confidently.
In fact, in the original time and space, the premiere performance of "The Story of Minglan" was not very high, with a viewership rating of only 0.67 in 52 cities.
Ranked fifth among local satellite TV TV dramas of the same period.
It was not until ten days after the broadcast that "The Story of Minglan" reached the top thanks to its extremely high reputation and started to dominate the screen.
Because of the participation of Gu Wei, the ratings of this version were very high when it was first broadcast. Although it did not surpass the currently popular "A Flowing River", judging by the trend, it will only take one or two days.
On the 26th, the second day after the broadcast of "The Story of Minglan", the adult Sheng Minglan played by Zhao Liying appeared, and the ratings increased slightly again, almost on par with "A Flowing River".
This is also due to Zhu Yilong's contribution. The young master he played also appeared in the third episode.
Zhu Yilong's current popularity is also quite high. His role as Runyu, the second male lead in the BL drama "Guardian" and the hit summer drama "Ashes of Love", have greatly increased his popularity.
On the third day of the broadcast of "The Story of Minglan", the playboy Gu Tingye, played by Gu Wei, finally made his appearance. The TV series' ratings soared by 0.2 on that day, with an average rating of 1.57 in 53 cities, officially surpassing "A Flowing River" to become the champion of local satellite TV stations during the same period.
[Gu Tingye finally appears. If he hadn't appeared earlier, I would have thought Minglan and the young master were a couple! ]
Zhu Yilong is also very handsome, and the character of the young master he plays is very good. If the male lead was not Gu Wei, I would think he and Minglan would be good too.
[Those who have read the original novel said that the role of the young master seemed good at the beginning, but it became unbearable in the later stages. I won’t spoil it here, you will find out as you read on.]
[After watching the first few episodes, I found the fight between the first wife of the Sheng family, Lady Wang, and the second wife, Lady Lin, quite interesting. Lady Lin is a complete green tea, but Lady Wang is truly interesting!]
[I can only say that Mr. Liu Lin’s acting is excellent, and Gao Lu is also a talented actor! ]
Finally, there's a new drama to watch. "Do You Know?" has 78 episodes. It won't be boring for the next month or so!
[The two protagonists didn’t have many scenes in the first few episodes, but I felt that Honglang and the lady were also very interesting, and the house fighting scenes were quite fun.]
【.】
[The Story of Minglan] has been at the top of the ratings since the third day, and its subsequent performance has been getting higher and higher.
After the first week, the ratings exceeded 2, and the highest ratings on one day in the second week even exceeded 3. It can be said that it has booked the annual ratings championship in advance.
The online broadcast data also ranked first by a large margin. After 10 days of broadcast, the online broadcast volume exceeded 3 billion, ranking first among TV dramas in the same period.
Every day there are several hot searches about the plot on the list, and all kinds of data are exaggeratedly high. It can be said to be a phenomenal hit drama.
December 30, backstage of Mango TV.
Gu Wei is rehearsing for Mango TV's New Year's Eve concert.
At tomorrow's New Year's Eve concert, he and Zhao Liying will perform together on stage to sing the theme song of "The Story of Minglan" [The Story of Minglan].
