Chapter 710 Goodbye Reba
After the finale of [Sito], Gu Wei and Jing Tian’s live interview brought the last wave of popularity for the TV series.
This is reflected in the fact that the subsequent playback volume of "Sito" has increased sharply, quickly exceeding 8 billion.
Although the subsequent growth rate is getting slower and slower, considering the popularity of "Sito", it should not be a problem for the online broadcast volume to exceed 10 billion due to the long-tail effect.
You should know that throughout the whole of last year, there were only six TV series whose broadcast volume on the domestic entertainment network exceeded 10 billion, namely "Go Go Squid!", "Mr. Love", "Legend of Fuyao", "Negotiator", "Story of Yanxi Palace" and "Ashes of Love".
Although word of mouth varies, whether the online broadcast volume can exceed 10 billion has become the standard for measuring the performance and popularity of a drama.
[Sito] A web drama with only 30 episodes can achieve this data, which is undoubtedly one of the most popular TV dramas this year.
The only dramas that can be compared with it in the first half of the year are "The Story of Minglan" and "All Is Well". Among them, the data of "The Story of Minglan" is better, while "All Is Well" is inferior in terms of the Internet.
On April 4, Gu Wei, who had separated from Jing Tian, flew to the mountain city and participated in the recording of "Extreme Challenge" as a guest.
[Go Fighting], the most popular outdoor variety show in the domestic entertainment industry, has unknowingly been recorded to its fifth season.
This season has changed a lot from the previous ones.
Yan Min, the chief director of the previous four seasons, withdrew from the show and was replaced by a new team led by new director Shi Jianing.
Among the members of Extreme Men's Gang, Huang Bo and Sun Honglei withdrew from the program due to time constraints, and three new faces, Reba, Lei Jiayin and Yue Yunpeng, joined the regular members.
Reba had been quite comfortable during the recording process since she joined Running Man in 2017, as Deng Chao and his team had always taken good care of her because of Gu Wei.
However, after recording two seasons, Deng Chao, Chen He, and Lu Han all withdrew from "Running Man", so Reba also left and then accepted the invitation from Dragon TV to join "Go Fighting".
"Teacher Gu Wei, welcome, welcome. Thank you for taking the time to join our program."
After entering the program crew, director Shi Jianing came out to greet him personally and shook hands with Gu Wei with a warm look on his face.
Director Shi is under a lot of pressure. The performance and reputation of "Go Fighting" have always been very good. Now after a major change, if the performance of the fifth season is not as good as before, he will be the first to be held accountable.
Now that Gu Wei can come and participate as a guest, at least we don’t have to worry about the ratings for this episode.
"Director Shi, you don't have to be so polite," Gu Wei replied with a smile.
The two walked towards the temporary venue of the program team, and Shi Jianing introduced the general content of this episode to Gu Wei.
"We recorded the second and third episodes of this season here in the WL area of Shancheng, for a total of two days and one night.
The theme of this season is "Journey Along the Yangtze River." Starting from Shanghai, we will travel upstream along the Yangtze River to explore the cultural beauty, ecological beauty, and construction beauty of various places along the Yangtze River. The related game segments are also related to Yangtze River culture, so I won't spoil it here.
After communicating with the director, Gu Wei met with several regular guests of this recording of "Go Fighting".
There are a total of 7 regular guests this season, but this is only the second recording. Huang Lei and Zhang Yixing were absent due to schedule. After Gu Wei arrived at the crew hotel, he met Luo Zhixiang, Wang Xun, Reba, Yue Yunpeng and Lei Jiayin.
"Director Gu~"
"Gu Wei~"
“.”
After entering the lounge, others stood up and greeted Gu Wei when they saw him.
Reba's eyes lit up, and she stood up without saying anything, but just showed a bright smile on her face.
"Long time no see~"
Most of the people in the room were familiar faces. Lei Jiayin and Wang Xun had filmed movies with Gu Wei, and they were also familiar with Luo Zhixiang from their previous appearance on "Go Fighting". The only one who had no previous connection was Yue Yunpeng.
"Hello, Mr. Gu Wei, I'm Yue Yunpeng." Xiao Yueyue stood up and extended his hand respectfully to Gu Wei. "I've seen many of your films and TV series, they're all very good, especially this year's The Wandering Earth. I love it so much."
"Hello, I've also heard your crosstalk. It's good and very funny." Gu Wei shook hands with him politely.
"I've heard Brother Qian mention you before, saying you're the most promising disciple of Deyun Club. Now it seems to be true."
Yue Yunpeng can be said to be the most famous crosstalk actor in Deyun Club besides Guo Degang and Yu Qian.
Since he became famous, he has been developing in the film and television industry over the years and has made many bad movies.
However, because of his image, he only shoots related comedies, so even if they are all bad movies, there are still suitable roles for him.
"No, no, you're too kind. I'm just an ordinary comedian," Xiao Yueyue said modestly, smiling and waving his hands.
"You've been too busy after the New Year. It's not easy to meet you." After Gu Wei greeted everyone, Reba spoke with a smile.
Although it was a joke, there was a hint of resentment in his tone.
"Haha, there's nothing I can do. In the past two months, I've had movies released, TV series broadcast, and I've also filmed two dramas. I'm a bit busy." Gu Wei laughed.
In front of everyone, Reba did not go into the topic in depth, but chatted about something else casually.
After resting for one night in the hotel of the program team, the six members of Go Fighting took buses to the recording venue of the program, the mountain city of Wulong, early the next morning.
It drizzled a little in the morning. When Gu Wei got out of the car after arriving at the destination, the sky had cleared up and the air was particularly fresh.
"Hello, Teacher Gu Wei, this is your task card for today~" A staff member in red clothes handed an envelope to Gu Wei.
"Am I the first one to arrive?" Gu Wei looked around and didn't see any other people.
“It’s the first one.”
Gu Wei opened the envelope in his hand:
"Guardian Angel Card: Hello, Guardian Angel, today I have a secret mission for you. You must become Dilraba Dilmurat's invisible angel. Before going to bed, you must praise Dilraba Dilmurat, "You are the most beautiful cloud in my sky" six times without being discovered. If she discovers your protection, you will face cruel punishment!"
"This is quite simple, but it is still a bit difficult to do it without being discovered for 6 times." Gu Wei put away the task card after reading it.
The staff member continued to explain, "Everyone has a mission card and someone to protect. After today's event, everyone needs to guess who their invisible angel is."
"I understand. The difficulty lies in completing the protection mission while keeping the other party from guessing."
After receiving the task card, Gu Wei got back into the car. After a while, the six members of Extreme Challenge gathered together. It was obvious that everyone had received their task cards in the morning.
After some mobilization by the program team, everyone took a car to the Longshuixia Scenic Area in Xiannv Mountain.
Here is the highest bungee jumping platform in Asia, which is also the first game project of the day.
"Are you asking us to go bungee jumping?
This is too high, I definitely can’t do it.”
Standing on the glass platform of the bungee jumping platform, there is a bottomless canyon under your feet. Let alone bungee jumping, people who are afraid of heights will feel weak in the knees when looking down.
Reba held onto the fence beside her and looked down, shaking her head.
"What are you afraid of? Don't we often use wires when filming? It's the same principle." Gu Wei walked up to her.
"There's a huge difference. How high is the wire rope? Didn't you hear the staff just explain? This one is 280 meters. I feel dizzy just looking at it."
Gu Wei didn't say anything else but stood with Reba, holding the railing and looking up at the sky in the distance.
"The weather is nice today. It was raining in the morning, but now it is completely sunny."
"Yes, it's just right, not too cold or too hot, and the sky is especially blue~" Reba agreed.
"Look at that cloud, isn't it beautiful?" Gu Wei pointed to the sky.
"It's so beautiful, its shape is like a maple leaf~" Reba raised her hand to her eyes and looked in the direction Gu Wei pointed.
"The scenery is beautiful, but you are more beautiful, just like the most beautiful cloud in the sky!" Gu Wei continued the topic and repeated what was written on the task card.
Reba's eyes widened when she heard that.
She wasn't surprised that Gu Wei praised her. They had said more revealing things when they were together. However, they were recording a program and the whole process was being filmed, so she was still surprised by what Gu Wei said.
Before she could say anything, Yue Yunpeng came up from behind.
"The production team isn't going to ask us to jump off here, are they? I definitely can't do that. Reba, do you dare?"
Xiao Yueyue is very cunning. He knows that Gu Wei is coming to "Go Fighting" and he will definitely have the most shots when the show is edited later.
So along the way he was always talking to Gu Wei or getting close to him.
"I can't do that. I was just talking to Gu Wei about this. It's too high!
But he should be able to do it. I remember you tried bungee jumping when you were filming a variety show before."
Gu Wei nodded.
“Yes, I’ve done bungee jumping and paragliding, both of which are high-altitude activities.
It’s actually not as scary as you think, it’s fine as long as you’re willing to try,” Gu Wei encouraged with a smile.
The three of them didn't chat for a long time before the program team called everyone together and started assigning tasks.
It is bungee jumping, yes, but since everyone is afraid, the game stipulates that everyone jumps down with their eyes blindfolded, and the six people need to arrange the order of bungee jumping by themselves.
After some discussion, although they were reluctant, everyone finally decided on an order and blindfolded themselves one by one and walked onto the diving platform.
As it turned out, the bungee jumping game was just a false alarm. The program crew was playing a prank on a few people. After being blindfolded, they didn't need to bungee jump. They just jumped from the platform into the foam pool below, less than one meter high.
"Your TV series has finished airing these days. Do you have any work plans for the future?" Gu Wei and Reba were the first two to jump. After they came down, the camera shifted to others, and the two walked to the side to chat.
"Have you seen [Si Teng]?"
“Of course, it’s so popular recently, how could I not watch it.
"Sister Tiantian's acting is really good. This kind of beautiful and sassy heroine is so attractive. I wish I could act in such a drama," said Reba with envy.
"Don't worry, there will be opportunities later.
But you have to grasp it well. No matter how good the role is, it can only be popular if the actor plays it well."
"I know that the team has contacted me with a drama that has a female lead role, but I haven't decided which one yet."
"After filming Go Fighting!, I have to go back to Beijing to participate in the Beijing Film Festival and the Beijing University Student Film Festival.
The first one, The Wandering Earth, was shortlisted for the Tiantan Award, and the second one I was nominated for myself."
"That's great." Reba said with envy.
"But I also have to go back to participate in the Beijing Film Festival Gala. I was invited by the organizers to be a guest performer."
“Singing?”
"Dancing, opening dance, I'm still good at this"
"Then after the show, will you come with me?"
"No problem~"
