Chapter 817 New Year's Wish
The performance ended and Gu Wei returned backstage.
When I pushed open the door to the dressing room, I saw Reba making a video call on her phone in the room.
At this time, she had changed out of the red long skirt she had worn on stage before. She was wearing a light yellow turtleneck sweater on the upper body, tight jeans on the lower body, a pair of black boots on her feet, and her long wavy hair was draped over her shoulders. She was dressed very casually.
When she saw Gu Wei coming in, she showed a surprised expression on her face, and then waved at the phone screen: "Mom and Dad, you should go to bed early. I won't chat with you anymore."
Gu Wei walked up to him and asked, "Are you chatting with your uncle and aunt?"
"Yes, my parents were also watching the Spring Festival Gala. They said my performance was great, my singing was beautiful, and my dress was festive!" Reba stood up and walked to Gu Wei and hugged his arm.
"It's a pity that I can't hear you singing here. I also didn't see your show because I was video chatting with my family just now.
But I could hear applause coming from the hall ahead, and it went on for quite a while.
There was no such treatment in previous shows.”
Gu Wei smiled and patted her head: "After tonight, [As Wish] will be available on all major music platforms, and you can listen to it anytime.
Okay, let’s pack up and go.
Are you hungry?
"Not bad~"
After Reba finished speaking, her stomach growled unkindly and her expression was a little embarrassed.
"I ate this afternoon. I was so nervous before the performance that I didn't feel hungry. But after I got off the stage, I felt a little hungry."
"I've already had the New Year's Eve dinner prepared. We can have a hot meal when we get home."
"Hmm~"
After changing out of their performance clothes, Gu Wei took Reba out from the backstage of CCTV and got into his own nanny car.
The two of them walked all the way back to their house at [Fanyue 108].
This four-bedroom apartment of over 300 square meters was bought by Gu Wei for Reba a few years ago.
The address is located on the East Third Ring Road of Chaoyang District, the core area of Guomao CBD, with very convenient transportation.
When it was first launched, the price was 100,000 yuan per square meter, and now it has risen to 150,000 yuan.
"Happy New Year~"
In the restaurant, in front of Gu Wei and Reba was a table full of delicious food. The various dishes were appetizing, and there were also dumplings that were freshly cooked and still steaming.
The two opened a bottle of red wine, which was the best quality from Unico Estate. After Gu Wei bought the winery, he gave Reba a few boxes. She seldom drank it, so there was still a lot left at home.
"Are you leaving early tomorrow morning?"
Gu Wei and Reba were chatting while eating. Soon they had finished a glass of wine, and a layer of blush slowly appeared on Reba's fair face.
"I took a flight at around 10 o'clock and returned to the set to continue filming.
What about you? What are your plans after the New Year? "
"I can rest in Beijing for two days, and then there will be activities for several brands.
The Long Ballad will be airing in March, so I have to promote it along with the other creators."
"Then I wish our Reba's "The Long Ballad" a big hit!" Gu Wei raised his glass with a smile.
"Thank you~"
Reba happily clinked glasses with him and took a sip.
"By the way, have you received the script of "The Wandering Earth 2"? " Gu Wei put down his wine glass and thought of something.
"Yes, I got it. I play Hao Xiaoxi, a staff member of the coalition government. It seems like a very serious and unsmiling character."
As she spoke, Reba suddenly thought of something and started laughing.
"I saw in the script that 'Hao Xiaoxi' is the mother of 'Li Yiyi' in the first film. In that case, doesn't that mean I'm a generation older than you?
I don’t know if our characters will have a chance to meet in the third film. By then, you’ll have to call me Aunt Hao.”
Gu Wei looked at her speechlessly: "It seems you are trying to take advantage of me here.
However, the second part has not been filmed yet, so the third part is a bit far away. I haven’t seen the script for the third part yet.”
"When will the filming of "The Wandering Earth 2" start?" Reba asked again.
"Didn't the crew tell you?"
"No, when I received the script I was told that filming would probably start in the second half of the year, but the specific time was not specified."
Gu Wei nodded: "It is now scheduled to start filming in October, and I think we will be able to inform you soon.
Is there any problem with the schedule?
Your role isn't that big, so the filming shouldn't take too long."
“No problem, definitely no problem.
It is such an honor to be able to participate in "The Wandering Earth 2" and other things must give way to it.
After all these years in the industry, this is the first time I’ve participated in such an important film project~"
Although Reba is currently one of the most popular female stars born in the 1990s, like her boss Da Mimi, she only has popularity but no resources in the film industry.
Because of Gu Wei, Yang Mi was able to film the well-received "The Blade of the Assassin 2", and now another "Assassination of Novelist" is about to be released.
After the failure of "The Little Match Girl" a few years ago, Reba has not received any film projects.
So she attached great importance to the opportunity given by Gu Wei.
Although she is only a supporting actress in the play, you have to know that this is the supporting actress in "The Wandering Earth". If it were an open casting, half of the young female stars in the entertainment industry would come to audition.
"Next month I will be filming a costume fantasy drama, which will probably be wrapped in July, and then I will be completely free.
Because the filming date of "The Wandering Earth 2" was not confirmed at the beginning, my schedule in the second half of the year has been empty, and the company did not dare to accept any role for me.
Now I have three months to prepare for the role, and I will definitely give my best during the filming!"
In fact, Reba has a high degree of self-recognition of her identity as an actor. Since she entered the industry, she has taken every role seriously.
It’s just because of the script, image and one’s own acting skills that the results are different.
You should know that her first drama in the true sense was CCTV's "Anarhan", which was her debut as a serious drama.
The reason why he later chose the route of a traffic star was entirely because of signing with Jiaxing Media.
Gu Wei nodded: "You interacted the most with the Chinese representative "Zhou Zhezhi", who was played by Mr. Li Xuejian.
If you have any questions, please ask Mr. Li for advice. I don’t need to tell you about his level. He is undoubtedly one of the best actors in China.”
Reba nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I know, I will learn from Teacher Li with an open mind.
I don’t think that The Wandering Earth 2 will be filled with only senior celebrities like Mr. Li. You’re making me a little nervous now.”
Gu Wei laughed and said, "The Wandering Earth 2's main actors are Wu Jing and Liu Dehua, and your character barely has any scenes with them.
Don't feel any burden. I'll tell Guo Fan to take good care of you while we're filming."
"Hmm~" Reba showed a happy smile on her face after hearing what Gu Wei said.
Compared to the care she would receive in future film shoots, she was happier with Gu Wei's concern for her.
The two had almost finished their meal when fireworks started to be set off from somewhere outside the window.
Gu Wei held Reba's soft and slender waist and stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window. The brightly lit night scene in the capital and the fireworks blooming in the sky formed an incomparably beautiful picture.
Reba looked out the window for a while and then turned to look at Gu Wei beside her. Her eyes were full of love and fascination as she looked at his extremely handsome profile.
She recalled the days when the two of them filmed "You Are My Glory" together. Until now, Reba still misses it very much and feels that it was the happiest time in her life in these years.
Gu Wei, who was looking out the window, also noticed Reba's fiery gaze and turned to look at her.
"You've had a little too much to drink, haven't you?"
Reba's face was flushed and her eyes were blurred. Gu Wei thought that she couldn't drink much and the two glasses of red wine she drank might have made her drunk.
"Uh~ a little bit"
After hearing Gu Wei's words, Reba came to her senses and spoke softly.
Gu Wei turned around, and the two of them went from side by side to face each other.
He looked at Reba's pretty face with a blush on it, and couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her.
As the kiss continued, Reba's clothes were quickly taken off one by one.
Gu Wei hugged her perky butterfly buttocks with both hands, and Reba's round and slender legs also clamped around his waist.
After a very long and wet kiss, the two fell on the sofa in a man-on-top position. Reba looked at Gu Wei with her beautiful eyes, breathing heavily.
"I just made a New Year's wish."
"What wish?"
"I hope I can spend every New Year with you just like I am now."
Gu Wei smiled and said, “You are not Aladdin, but I think I can be your genie.
I will help you realize your wish."
The next morning, when Gu Wei left, Reba was still sleeping soundly in bed.
Last night was a bit too much.
Gu Wei was the same as usual, but Reba was unusually passionate and didn't stop until she was exhausted and fell asleep.
You can sleep better after being exhausted, but it also takes longer to recover.
After leaving [Fanyue 108] and getting on the company's black Rolls-Royce, Gu Wei arrived at Beijing International Airport in a short time.
After meeting up with Wu Jing, the two boarded a private plane together.
"I saw your performance yesterday. The songs were good and the singing was even better. No wonder some netizens said you release one song a year, and every song is a blast!"
After meeting, the two talked about yesterday's Spring Festival Gala, and Wu Jing praised it.
"Haha, I also saw your martial arts performance, Brother Jing. It was very cool!"
The plane was flying steadily in the sky. Gu Wei and his partner sat opposite each other. On the table in front of them were various fruits and a pot of freshly brewed tea.
The slim stewardess standing by poured tea for the two of them, smiled and nodded, then left.
"It's good to be rich. Your private jet is much more comfortable than the first class cabin of an airline!"
Wu Jing watched the flight attendant walk away, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and said with emotion.
"Brother Jing, if you like it, you can buy one. It will make travel convenient, fast and less tiring," Gu Wei said with a smile.
"I can't afford it. This is something only the richest people can play with."
Having said that, Wu Jing couldn't help but ask.
"How much is your plane?"
“The Gulfstream G550 cost around 300 million when I bought it.
In addition, we have to pay for crew salaries, insurance, maintenance, parking, flight planning, airport services, fuel consumption and other expenses every year, which is about 30 million RMB."
"Hiss!" Wu Jing took a breath of cold air.
When he was filming "Wolf Warrior 1", the gap of tens of millions forced him to sell his house to raise money.
Now think about it, his entire net worth was not enough to cover the cost of Gu Wei’s private jet for two years.
Of course, thanks to the huge sales of the "Wolf Warrior" series, Wu Jing is already a billionaire today, but even for him now, this private jet worth hundreds of millions is too expensive.
“If I had so much money, I would rather buy a house or make a movie than this.
Not counting the money spent on the plane, the annual expenses are as high as 30 million yuan, which means that every year he burns down a 200-square-meter luxury house in the inner ring of Beijing, just to make travel more convenient and comfortable.
Wu Jing shook his head as he spoke.
“It’s so luxurious!”
Gu Wei looked at him with a smile and said nothing.
This is a problem of consumption concept, there is nothing to refute.
Wu Jing studied martial arts and came from an average family. He didn't become famous in his early years, and his wealth was not abundant in his middle age. He really made money in the few years after "Wolf Warrior".
He himself is a traditional person, and his consumption concept is still stuck in more than ten years ago.
Even if I have money now, the most I can do is buy a house to make myself and my family live more comfortably.
As a top star in the domestic entertainment industry, he has a very small personal team and doesn't even have bodyguards when he travels.
Compared with him, Gu Wei is completely two extremes, one is extravagant and the other is simple.
"By the way, China Film Group should have contacted you as well. Are you still participating in this year's tribute film?"
The two chatted for a while, and Wu Jing suddenly said.
"You're talking about [me and my parents], right? Mr. La approached me but I declined.
I have already directed the second part of this series, [My Hometown and Me], and I don’t want to be involved in the third one.
Besides, my schedule this year is quite full, so I can’t spare the time to shoot.”
Wu Jingzhi nodded: "Speaking of which, I failed in all three films. I was an actor in the first two, and in the third I was both an actor and a director."
Gu Wei smiled and said, "Because you're so popular now, Jing Ge, and everyone trusts you and thinks this type of movie is suitable for you."
“I was hesitant at first, but I really liked the script given to me by China Film.
It tells a story about cavalry during the Anti-Japanese War, and I named it "Riding the Wind."
"It seems like this year, Brother Jing, you have it no easier than me.
After [Changjin Lake], there’s [My Fathers and Me], and in the second half of the year I have to join the crew to shoot [The Wandering Earth 2].”
Wu Jing smiled bitterly: "Last year, I took half a year to recover from a leg injury and had a good rest for a while. Now it seems that all the work has been accumulated until this year.
Some are busy.”
After New Year’s Eve, the 2021 Spring Festival movie season also begins.
After years of development, the mainland film market has become extremely large. At present, China has completely surpassed the United States to become the world's largest single film market.
After so many years of development, the Spring Festival period has become the hottest period of the year in China.
Everyone is accustomed to the release of wonderful domestic blockbusters during the Spring Festival, and is also accustomed to taking the whole family, young and old, to see a movie during the seven-day holiday as a family activity during the Spring Festival.
February 12th, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The Wanda Plaza in Beijing's FT District was bustling with people, and the Wanda Cinema lobby on the top floor was packed.
"Wow, why are there so many people today!" Su Miaomiao, who came out to watch a movie with her childhood friend and best friend, was a little stunned by the situation in the theater lobby.
"It's normal. Everyone has a holiday during the Lunar New Year and there's nothing to do, so they just go out and watch a movie.
When I bought the tickets, I knew that the seats for our show [Detective Chinatown 3] were almost sold out. How could there not be a lot of people?
My best friend Wang Yingnan, who was wearing a white down jacket, said this.
"You go to the machine to get the ticket, and I'll queue up to buy some drinks and popcorn." Su Miaomiao suggested.
Wang Yingnan looked around.
“No, it’s too troublesome to queue here.
After I get the tickets, let’s go to the supermarket over there and buy some water and snacks. It’s cheap and has a lot of choices.”
Su Miaomiao nodded.
"All right."
