Chapter 826 I Want to Join Gu Wei's Team
"Teacher Gu Wei~"
Cai Xukun and Huang Xuxi greeted Gu Wei politely with some restraint. Cai Xukun, in particular, no longer had the unconvinced look on his face. He looked docile, with a hint of yearning in his eyes.
It felt like the lower grade students standing in line on the playground watching the outstanding upper grade students give a speech in front of the whole school.
He debuted in 2018 through "Idol Producer". He has been very popular in the domestic entertainment industry in the past two years and has a high traffic. The "Running Man" program invited him to join and treated him as the central figure, serving as a substitute for Lu Han.
But he is completely incomparable with Gu Wei. Even Cai Xukun himself knows that he is not in the same circle or level as the man in front of him.
It can be said that the other party’s current achievements and status are his lifelong goals after becoming a star.
Not to mention achieving it completely, but if I can achieve some of Gu Wei's achievements, I can be called a top star in the domestic entertainment industry.
"Hello~" Gu Wei replied with a smile.
He knows that Cai Xukun is very popular now, but to him, he is just a small-time traffic artist and there is no need to care about him.
Moreover, he really couldn't remember what works Kun Kun had. The only impression of him in his mind was "Two and a Half Years of Practice", "Chicken, You Are So Beautiful" and "Singing, Dancing and Basketball".
"Hello, Gu Wei, it's our first meeting, please take care of me.
I really like your songs, and you’re even more handsome in person than in the movies!”
Deng Ziqi was a little excited when she saw Gu Wei and raised her arm to shake hands with him.
"Hello, Ziqi, I also like the songs you sing, especially Bubbles and Light Years Away."
Gu Wei had a good impression of Deng Ziqi and shook hands with her with a smile.
“When will you release an album? The songs you wrote before are really classics. I especially like [Natural], [Sold Out], and [Dance Monkey].
It’s a shame you’re not concentrating on singing.”
"Forehead
This is indeed a problem, and it seems that many of my fans have been urging me to do so.
When I have time, I will consider putting together the singles I released over the years and releasing one or two albums."
After exchanging a few words with Deng Ziqi, Gu Wei looked at Bai Lu beside her.
"Hello, Teacher Gu Wei!"
Bai Lu was as reserved as Cai Xukun and Huang Xuxi. She had been staring at Gu Wei since he came in, feeling excited inside.
"Hello, have we met before?"
Bai Lu blinked her big eyes, trying her best to control her excitement.
"Yes, I have seen you before at the Starlight Awards. I was sitting with Song Zuer at the time, and you and Zuer chatted for a few minutes."
Gu Wei also remembered what she said and laughed: "I was wrong. I was so busy chatting with Zul that I forgot to get to know the little sister next to her."
Bai Lu quickly shook her head: "No, I was thinking about taking the initiative to say hello and get to know you, but I was mentally preparing for a long time and didn't dare to open my mouth."
Her words made everyone else laugh. Zheng Kai joked, "Bai Lu, you still feel embarrassed sometimes. That's not your character!"
"What? I'm usually a very ladylike person!" Bai Lu said somewhat dissatisfiedly.
As soon as the voice fell, the Running Man members laughed again. Bai Lu participated in the recording of [Running Man: Yellow River Edition] last year as a flying guest.
Through recording the show and playing games, everyone knows her personality. She is cheerful and has no idol burden. Her devilish smile is quite popular and has nothing to do with a lady.
Gu Wei was greeting others, while Reba was reminiscing with Tian Xiwei.
The two have known each other for a long time. When filming "You Are My Glory", Xiaotian played the assistant of the big star "Qiao Jingjing" and had a very good relationship with Reba for a time.
However, after the filming was finished, their relationship became much distant because they had no more interactions.
"Sister Reba, you are getting more and more beautiful~"
"You are the one. You played the role of Fan Ruoruo in Joy of Life so well. She was smart and cute.
I feel like you've really grown a lot in these two years!"
“Haha, it’s okay.
It’s mainly because the drama is good, plus my own small efforts.”
Tian Xiwei had a big smile on her small round face, looking cute and festive.
When the two mentioned "Joy of Life", Baby beside them remembered something and asked Gu Wei.
"I remember that [Joy of Life 2] has been completed. When will it be broadcast?"
"It has been filmed, most likely this summer, so you can look forward to it."
With the arrival of the four guest stars, the recording of this episode of "Running Man" officially began.
It is still the routine of playing games in groups. Everyone is divided into two teams, the [Excellent Employees Team] headed by Li Chen and the [Ordinary Employees Team] with Gu Wei as the captain. According to the rules set by the program team, the two teams play some games together, and the winning team will get a certain amount of overtime time.
In the end, whoever gets the longest overtime will win the final victory of today's game.
When selecting people in groups, everyone draws lots, two by two, and if one person chooses the [Excellent Employee Team], the other person will be automatically assigned to the [Ordinary Employee Team].
There was a small incident in this link.
Zheng Kai and Bai Lu were in the same group. When it was their turn, Zheng Kai suddenly said after drawing lots, "Do you know what Bai Lu said to me just now?"
Everyone else looked at him curiously. Bai Lu reacted and shouted, "Ah, Brother Kai, don't say that!" while reaching out to pull him.
Zheng Kai dodged and jogged to avoid Bai Lu, laughing and revealing, "Just now when you were selecting your groups, Bai Lu kept whispering in my ear, 'I want to choose Gu Wei, you go with Brother Chen, I want to go with Gu Wei.'"
After he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter, and Bai Lu's face turned red.
Li Chen smiled and said, "Bai Lu, how much do you like Gu Wei?"
Baby explained with a smile: "I remember Bai Lu said her idol is Gu Wei. Now I finally have the opportunity to get close to my idol, so of course I am excited.
I actually understand her thinking.”
Baby’s idol is G-Dragon, and she has publicly expressed her star-chasing on a show.
Reba stood in the crowd and laughed with everyone, looking at Gu Wei with a slightly playful look.
She was not surprised at all that Bai Lu liked Gu Wei as an artist. Although the others were laughing, they were also quite understanding.
Many of the young stars in the entertainment industry born after 1995 or even 1990 consider Gu Wei as their idol.
Since entering the industry in 2011, Gu Wei has quickly become the most sought-after young star and top-tier star in the domestic entertainment industry with unparalleled momentum.
The generations born in the 90s, 95s and 00s all grew up watching his various works, and countless people regard him as their idol.
Gu Wei received Reba's gaze and coughed lightly, interrupting everyone's laughter: "Zheng Kai, which team are you going to choose?"
"No matter how much trouble she makes, I still have to respect Bai Lu's wishes. I choose the [Excellent Employee Team]!" He said as he stood next to Li Chen.
At this time, Bai Lu also stood in the row next to Gu Wei shyly.
After the grouping was completed, everyone started to compete in some games according to the requirements of the program team.
The theme of this episode is "Working People", and all the games are set up in the office building where they are located.
As one game after another was being played, Gu Wei and Reba did not forget to mention the "crowd" when communicating with others.
Their ultimate purpose of participating in Running Man is to promote the movie.
In addition to the two of them, Zheng Kai also took the opportunity to promote his own movie "Beyond", in which he plays a down-and-out sprinter.
The movie will be released half a month later than "The Crowd".
Cai Xukun also promoted his new album [Mi] on the show.
In short, everyone’s purpose for participating in variety shows is not pure, and it seems like several advertisements are inserted into the recording of a program.
This episode of the variety show was recorded for a whole day. After the last segment of tearing off name tags, this episode of Running Man came to an end.
Everyone was a little tired, so they said goodbye to each other and prepared to go back to the hotel to rest.
Before leaving, Bai Lu walked silently to Gu Wei.
"Brother Wei, can you add me on WeChat?"
Gu Wei nodded and took the phone from his assistant.
"No problem, I'll scan you."
Bai Lu excitedly added WeChat and then tentatively asked, "Um, can we take a photo together?"
Gu Wei looked at her with amusement: "What's wrong with that?"
After getting his permission, Bai Lu hugged Gu Wei's arm and held out her phone to take a few photos of the two of them.
Night, hotel room.
After washing up, Reba changed into a light yellow loose nightgown and walked out of the bathroom.
She walked with a pair of round and straight long legs, wiping her still wet hair with a towel in her hand, and walked to Gu Wei, put her arms around his waist, and rested her head on his shoulder.
"What are you looking at?"
Gu Wei was still concentrating on looking at the laptop in front of him.
"It's a script. I asked the screenwriter at the company to revise it. This is the first version they sent me."
After hearing this, Reba became interested and looked at the computer screen.
"What script? Your new play?"
After watching for a few seconds, she felt a little strange: "Why are all the characters named after foreigners?"
"Because it's a Hollywood movie, the characters of course all have Western names," Gu Wei explained.
Reba looked shocked: "Are you going to Hollywood to film a movie?"
At this time, Gu Wei had also finished reading the entire plot in the script, made some annotations, and then closed the computer.
“It’s not about going to Hollywood to make a movie, it’s about making a Hollywood movie.”
After putting the computer away, he turned around, held Reba in his arms, and placed his other hand on her snow-white, round thigh.
"Is there any difference?"
"Of course it's different. I haven't joined any Hollywood agency, and I won't be working in Hollywood in the future. This movie is a collaboration between Lionsgate and Satellite TV, a Sino-US co-production, and its format is similar to The Great Wall.
It’s just that Great Wall is led by a domestic company, while the film I participated in was led by Lionsgate.”
"What's the name of the movie?"
"Have you seen John Wick? I'm going to shoot the fourth installment in the series."
After Gu Wei finished speaking, Reba quickly thought of it.
"Is it the movie 'John Wick' with Keanu Reeves?"
“Yes, this is the series.”
Reba suddenly realized.
"Are you going to play a supporting role in the fourth film?"
Gu Wei smiled and said, "If I only play a supporting role, there would be no point in me taking this movie.
I didn’t accept the role of Shang-Chi when Disney asked me to play him, so how could I play a supporting role to Keanu Reeves in John Wick?
I was discussing a "double male lead" film with Lionsgate, similar to Men in Black.
Playing a super killer like Keanu Reeves, the two were enemies at first but then they developed a mutual understanding and teamed up to fight the villains together."
"That sounds cool. Isn't it similar to your previous film, Wolf Warrior 2?"
“Similar.
At present, the main plot of the script has been finalized, but the details still need to be revised.
When you mentioned Wolf Warrior 2, I suddenly had an idea."
Gu Wei had an idea after being reminded by Reba.
"What idea?"
"In the current script, my character is called Kane, a top killer on the same level as John Wick.
Unlike "John" who is good at guns, "Kane" is better at cold weapons and bare-handed fighting in addition to guns, which is also consistent with my own image.
After all, in the eyes of foreigners, all Chinese people know kung fu.
Now that you mention it, we can delve deeper into the background of the character Kane."
"How to dig deeper?" Reba was confused.
"What do you think about the Chinese name for 'Kane' being 'Lin Wei'?"
"Lin Wei?" Reba repeated the name, a little confused, and then immediately remembered.
"Are you talking about the role you played in Wolf Warrior 2?"
Gu Wei smiled and nodded.
“Yes, the character I played in the movie Wolf Warrior 2 with Wu Jing was called Lin Wei.
At the beginning, he was a second-generation rich military fan, but by the end of the movie, he had become a qualified special forces soldier, and could even be called a soldier king!
"You're planning to combine Wolf Warrior with John Wick: Chapter 6. What a wild idea!"
Reba exclaimed.
Gu Wei smiled and said, “You can mention it in the movie, for example, when Kane and John Wick are chatting, they mention where they are from and then say their Chinese names.
It’s not necessarily a collaboration, it’s just a foreshadowing in case it’s useful in the future sequels.”
"Is there a role I can play in your movie?" Reba's eyes were a little eager.
This is a Hollywood blockbuster and also Gu Wei's first Hollywood film. This gimmick alone will definitely make it a big hit, and the impact it will have will be worldwide.
"There is a role you can play called Akira, an archery assassin, but in the movie he is Japanese."
There are two female characters with more screen time in Gu Wei's version of "John Wick 4". One is the female assassin who talked to Reba, and the other is his sister in the movie, who was captured by the villain and threatened him.
Reba’s appearance is not very suitable for playing Gu Wei’s sister, but she can barely fit the role of a Japanese female assassin.
"When the script is finalized and the crew starts preparing, I'll recommend it to you and see what the director says."
"Great, Muah!"
After Gu Wei finished speaking, Reba excitedly hugged his neck and kissed him on the face continuously.
"Don't be so happy so early. What if the director thinks you are not suitable? Wouldn't it be a false alarm?" Gu Wei smiled and let her do what she wanted.
"It doesn't matter. Getting an audition opportunity for a Hollywood blockbuster is something that many people can only dream of. And with your recommendation and my own hard work, I'm sure there will be a good result!"
Reba is full of confidence.
