Chapter 688 Perfect CP
The evening of the 31st.
The scene of Mango TV’s New Year’s Eve concert.
There were huge crowds of people in the audience, and looking around, the venue was already fully occupied by the audience.
The time for the concert was getting closer and closer, and it was getting dark. Some of the fans in the audience were holding glow sticks, and some were holding up light boards of their idols. Everyone was looking forward to the start of the concert.
"Dear guests, dear audience friends, good evening!
Welcome to Mango TV’s New Year’s Eve Concert!
I am the host He Jiong! "
"I'm the host Wang Han!"
“.”
At 7:30 p.m., the hosts from Mango TV came on stage and announced the start of today's New Year's Eve concert.
“Ahhhhh!!!”
The audience below let out a burst of excited screams.
Mango TV’s New Year’s Eve concert always invites many popular stars to attend. More than 90% of the audience who can come to the scene are fans who chase stars. Everyone is looking forward to seeing their idols on the stage.
"Mango is still very respectable. They invited Gu Wei again this year."
"It must be because [The Story of Minglan] was broadcast on the Golden Eagle Theater, and the performance was a duet of [The Story of Minglan] with Zhao Liying."
"In previous years, Gu Wei always sang solo. This year, he sang with others for the first time. It was all for the promotion of the TV series!"
"But having said that, [The Story of Minglan] is really good, and the love story between Minglan and Uncle Gu is still very good."
"I think the Sheng family's internal fighting is quite interesting. I like the eldest lady more and more now."
"Unfortunately, Gu Wei and Zhao Liying's show is the last one, and we can't watch it until almost 12 o'clock. It's so frustrating!"
"That's normal. Mango TV relies on Gu Wei to boost ratings. His performance was always at the end of the Spring Festival Gala in previous years."
Amidst the applause and discussions of the audience, Xiaozhu Luo Zhixiang took the stage to perform the first show of the night [A Solo Show + Jingwumen].
Backstage, artist lounge.
Gu Wei and Zhao Liying sat together and chatted.
Besides them, there was also Yang Zi in the room, who was wearing a white long dress.
She is also one of today's performing guests, and her program is a solo song "Unstained", which is the theme song of "Ashes of Love" and is very popular this year.
".Sister Liying, I've been following your drama 'Do You Know?' lately. It's so good. After watching one episode, I want to watch the next one. You act so well."
Because Gu Wei was there, Yang Zi ran to his lounge to visit after putting on her makeup, with no intention of going back.
"I also watched Ashes of Love a few months ago, and your performance as Jin Mi was also fantastic!"
Zhao Liying said with a smile.
She was not familiar with Yang Zi and they had rarely met before.
However, he knew that Yang Zi was Gu Wei's schoolmate and good friend, so he was very gentle towards her.
"Hehe, it's okay, actually I have always targeted you.
From "My Sunshine" and "The Journey of Flower", I have watched every drama you acted in."
"Huh? Little Monkey Zi, why haven't you told me about this before?"
Gu Wei listened to the conversation between the two and asked questions from the side.
"Why should I tell you that I like Sister Liying's drama!" Yang Zi rolled his eyes at Gu Wei, expressing his dissatisfaction with his sabotage.
Zhao Liying was smiling beside her.
"Actually, you're pretty good now, especially this year with the two hits Go Go Squid! and Ashes of Love.
I read an article online a few days ago that ranked the most improved female artists in the entertainment industry this year, and you were ranked first."
"Haha. Lucky, lucky." Yang Zi smiled and waved his hands. He spoke modestly but everyone could see the happiness on his face.
She has made great progress this year. With two dramas, she has become a top female star born in the 1990s. Her popularity is comparable to that of some of the 85 flowers.
"By the way, why didn't Li Xian come with you to this year's concert? It would have been better if you two sang [Unstained] together."
Zhao Liying asked curiously.
Before Yang Zi could say anything, Gu Wei explained.
"Li Xian accepted the invitation from Blueberry TV to attend their New Year's Eve concert."
"Oh, now I remember, Li Xian is an artist from your company, right?"
Gu Wei nodded.
The three of them were chatting when, after a few knocks, the door of the lounge was pushed open from the outside door, and a little head popped in.
"boss?"
"Chaoyue~"
The person peeking out of the door was Yang Chaoyue, the former assistant and now a member of a girl group.
"What brought you here?"
Yang Chaoyue pushed the door open and came in.
"Sister Yang Zi, Sister Li Ying"
She first greeted the two girls in the room. Yang Chaoyue had met these two when she was working as Gu Wei's assistant.
Yang Zi and Zhao Liying also smiled and nodded. They both knew Yang Chaoyue's previous identity.
"We [Rocket Girls 101] also have a show, I was thinking of coming over to see the boss."
"Please sit down. Since you are here, sit here with me for a while~" said Gu Wei.
"Um, I won't sit here. Boss, can you please come to my lounge?"
"What for?" Gu Wei asked with some confusion.
"Well, I made a bet with my teammates that I could invite them over to meet them."
Yang Chaoyue scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
Zhao Liying and Yang Zi beside her laughed when they heard her words.
"Are you just bragging outside?" Gu Wei was also a little helpless.
"No.
When I first participated in the competition, I never told my teammates about my previous work. Later, after the competition, I couldn't hide it anymore, so I told the truth.
Well, they know that you, Boss, have a show tonight, so they urged me to invite you over, just to take a photo and chat with Meng Meiqi, Fu Jing and the others."
Yang Chaoyue felt a little embarrassed when he first spoke, but then he thought that it would not be a loss for Gu Wei, and he could also meet beautiful women and receive their compliments and admiration, so his tone became justified.
"Go ahead and make the trip. Chao Yue has already promised his teammates, you can't let your own employees go back on their word," Zhao Liying advised with a smile before Gu Wei could say anything.
"You two chat, I'll be back soon." Gu Wei shook his head and stood up and said.
"Let's go~
Do you need to bring a few autographed photos of me?"
"It's better to bring a few more!" Yang Chaoyue looked happy, and did not forget to wave goodbye to Zhao Liying and Yang Zi as he went out.
Mango TV’s New Year’s Eve concert is proceeding in an orderly manner.
After Luo Zhixiang, Liang Jingru took the stage to sing two hit songs, Yu Wenwen sang her own song "Courage", Song Qian performed "The Roof is on Fire", and newcomers Shen Yue and Wang Hedi sang "Confession Balloon".
Director's room.
“How are the real-time ratings?”
The concert's director An Mingquan looked at the program on the monitor and asked the staff beside him.
"It opened at 1.47 and has fluctuated slightly since then. It rose to 1.82 just when TFBOYS came on stage to perform, but it dropped a bit after the show."
Director An nodded.
To be honest, this result is a little lower than last year, but it is still far ahead compared with other local satellite TV stations’ New Year’s Eve concerts.
"With Zhang Yixing and Yang Zi following, the ratings should still rise, and the finale will be Gu Wei and Zhao Liying.
Based on last year’s experience, the ratings for Gu Wei’s concert will at least rise to above 2.”
The staff around him continued to analyze.
"very good."
Director An is very satisfied with this result.
The advantage of Mango TV’s New Year’s Eve concert has always been that it can invite many big-name stars, and Gu Wei’s participation for two consecutive years is a surprise.
"If Gu Wei could come every year, this New Year's Eve concert would be much easier to organize."
Director An thought to himself.
Time flies, one familiar star after another comes on stage, and one beautiful song after another is sung.
As it got closer to 12 o'clock, the audience, who had been excited for several hours, began to feel a little tired.
"Well, do you know what the hottest TV series is recently?" He Jiong, who was wearing a red suit on the stage, asked Xie Na beside him.
"I know this, it must be the drama "Do You Know? It Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin" broadcasted by our [Golden Eagle Exclusive Theater]!
I follow this drama every day, it’s so good.
Liying’s acting is amazing!” Xie looked very festive in her bright red dress.
"I forgot that Liying is your best friend~
Which character in Do You Know do you like the most? "
"Needless to say, it's Gu Tingye!
Well, don't blame me for prioritizing love over friendship, it's just that Second Uncle is too handsome!"
Xie Na said in a funny way.
After she finished speaking, there was a chorus of approval from the audience.
He Jiong laughed and said, "You think Zhang Jie didn't come today, so you dare to say anything, right?
But judging by everyone's reactions, you're right.
So, let’s take a look at Gu Wei and Zhao Liying, who play Gu Tingye and Minglan, and bring us [Do You Know?]!
He Jiong raised one arm and announced loudly.
Then, there were screams and shouts from the audience.
The lights on the stage dimmed, melodious music sounded, and the beautiful atmosphere slowly filled the entire venue.
"When flowers bloom beside willows
Searching for fragrance and mistakenly finding Ting Hou
Drinking the morning glow and half-day sunshine
The wind and rain cannot penetrate
A beam of light shone on the stage, and Zhao Liying, wearing a white long dress, began to sing with a microphone in her hand.
With her beautiful appearance and graceful figure, she seems to have returned to the world of "The Story of Minglan" with the sound of music.
"The chief of the palace is thin and thin
Taiwan, Kaohsiung, and Ice are in tears
After sending the brocade letter, I suddenly looked back
There are no extra years to steal"
After she finished singing a section, another beam of light came out, and Gu Wei appeared not far away. He was wearing a black suit, which complemented Zhao Liying's outfit.
The magnetic voice brings the artistic conception of "Knowing" to a higher level.
“Ahhhhh!!!”
"Gu Wei, I love you!"
"Brother is the most handsome!"
"Always support Gu Wei!!"
“.”
As soon as Gu Wei appeared, the audience burst into screams.
At this time, the lights on the stage slowly lit up, and Gu Wei and Zhao Liying walked face to face, then looked at each other and held hands.
The big screen behind was playing scenes from the TV series "The Story of Minglan".
The two people in black and white on the stage, Minglan and Gu Tingye in ancient costumes on the big screen, seemed to be traveling through time and space. This sense of fate made the audience in the audience go crazy.
"Minglan! Second Uncle Gu!"
“Together, together!!”
Gu Wei and Zhao Liying held hands in one hand and held the microphone in the other. They smiled at each other and then slowly took two steps towards the front of the stage.
"Last night it was rainy and windy
Deep sleep can't wash off the hangover
Ask the curtain-roller, and he will say the crabapple blossoms remain the same.
Do You Know?
It should be green, fat, red and thin.
The climax of the song was when the two of them sang together, walking to the side while singing, but they never let go of each other's hands.
The audience in the audience was going crazy.
The song is nice, and the background MV on the big screen, coupled with the performance and interaction between Gu Wei and Minglan, makes people immersed in the love between Minglan and Gu Tingye in "The Story of Minglan" while listening to the song.
"I'm going crazy. Why are every pairing of Gu Wei so good? After watching [The Story of Minglan], I think he and Zhao Liying would be great together too. They're the real-life version of Minglan and Second Uncle Gu!"
"Yeah, they're such a perfect match, and so sweet, are they really in a relationship?"
"Wow, I'm going to go back and rewatch the episode of 'Do You Know?'"
“It’s up, Director, the ratings are going up all the time!
Since Gu Wei and Zhao Liying appeared, the ratings have risen above 2, and now it has reached 2.87. It seems that the highest ratings tonight may break 3!"
In the director's room, a staff member who was staring at the backstage data said excitedly.
"I knew the finale show would definitely have the highest ratings of the entire show, but I never expected it to achieve such high ratings."
Director An muttered as he looked at the ratings data.
Because the opening ratings this year were lower, Director An thought it would be good if the highest ratings exceeded 2. Unexpectedly, Gu Wei and Zhao Liying's final show directly raised the ratings to over 3.
“.
Do You Know?
It should be green, fat, red and thin.
On the stage, when Gu Wei and Zhao Liying finished the last sentence of their duet, the two let go of their hands and stood facing each other, one tall and one short, looking at each other, with deep friendship in each other's eyes.
At the same time, on the big screen behind them, Sheng Minglan and Gu Tingye were doing the same thing.
On New Year's Eve, all TV stations including CCTV were broadcasting their own New Year's Eve galas, and various hot search terms appeared one after another on the Internet.
However, when it was almost 12 o'clock, the entry [Gu Wei and Zhao Liying's sweet interaction and duet of "The Story of Minglan"] rushed to the top of the hot searches and quickly reached the first place.
[So sweet! The Yutang couple is truly in love. They have such a great chemistry!]
[One is tall and handsome, the other is petite and cute, no matter their looks, figures or personalities, they are so well matched]
[I declare this to be my number one CP of 2019. Minglan and Uncle Gu must be together!]
"Do You Know?" is truly beautiful, capturing Li Qingzhao's tender and lingering romantic sentiments. I'm currently playing it on repeat!
Ahhh, why are every pairing of Gu Wei so good? During the summer, I was still supporting him and Liu Yifei in the TV series "Time Raiders". The cheesy love talk scene really reminded me of the interactions between a young couple. But now he and Zhao Liying seem to be a good match. I didn't expect my love to change so quickly.
Zhao Liying and Gu Wei are truly the chosen ones as Sheng Minglan and Gu Tingye. Their looks and personalities perfectly match their roles; they were meant to be together!
【.】
After the New Year’s Eve concert ended, Gu Wei’s nanny car drove out of the venue’s parking lot and soon arrived at the nearby Kempinski Hotel.
After a period of intense exercise, Zhao Liying vented all the emotions accumulated during the concert on Gu Wei.
She panted softly and leaned on his chest.
"What are your plans after New Year's Day?"
"The performance of [The Story of Minglan] is already on track, and we don't need to put in any more effort going forward. I plan to go abroad in a couple of days."
"Where are you going?"
"Europe."
"How long?"
"About a week or so. I have to come back to participate in Weibo Night."
