After greeting a few people, Gu Wei opened the trunk and took out his luggage. Seeing this, Guo Qilin hurried forward to help him, and Gu Wei did not refuse.
A few people chatted as they walked along the path to the villa in Taohuawu.
After meeting Gu Wei, Meng Ziyi was very excited and kept talking all the way.
Guo Qilin also joined the chat on the other side, pulling a suitcase. Because they worked together on two "Joy of Life" series, he has a very good relationship with Gu Wei. At the beginning of the year, they had dinner together at the signing site.
Only Li Xueqin and Wang Hedi found it difficult to get a word in because they were not familiar with each other.
"Brother Wei, are you going to stay in Taohuawu permanently?" Meng Ziyi asked expectantly.
"I would like to, but I'm too busy with work to spare that much time. I can only come here for a few days to experience the life in Taohuawu."
“That’s a shame, it would be better if you were permanent.
If you become a permanent guest and we record the show together, I can’t imagine how happy I would be! ”
"Sister Meng, do you mean that you are unhappy with us because Brother Wei is not here?" Guo Qilin smiled and pointed out the problem in her words.
"Oh, no~
I have recorded another variety show [Flowers and Youth 3] with Brother Wei before. I don’t know if you have watched it.
With Brother Wei around, I don’t have to worry about anything. I can just go out and have fun with the team every day.
He takes care of everything, it’s super easy and fun!”
Gu Wei teased her with a smile: "Ziyi, do you want me to be your nanny?"
"Uh" Meng Ziyi's brain spun rapidly, and then he clapped his hands.
"I mean, brother, you are very reliable.
Yes, super reliable! "
After she said that, everyone else laughed.
"Brother, the second season of [Joy of Life] is about to air, so when are you going to start filming the third season?"
Guo Qilin knew that Gu Wei came to the show mainly to promote the drama. As one of the leading actors of "Joy of Life", he would bring up the topic whenever he had the chance.
But what he said was indeed what everyone wanted to know.
【Joy of Life】was promoted as a trilogy since the first part was being prepared. Now that the first part has been a huge hit and the second part is about to be aired, the third part has naturally become a focus of everyone's attention.
"It shouldn't be too soon. The script for the third part is still being written, and filming will not start until next year at the earliest."
"That means after watching the second part for a while, it will take until about the year after next before you can watch the third part, which serves as the finale.
It feels like time is very long, which is uncomfortable for a TV drama fan like me! "Li Xueqin saw the opportunity and interjected a sentence, indirectly expressing her love for "Joy of Life".
"Haha, Xueqin's estimated time is not too far off. If there are no major problems, Joy of Life 3 will most likely be released in 2023, and no later than 2024.
I think the trilogy of this series will be released to the audience within four to five years, which is pretty fast."
The audience waited five years for the second part of the original "Joy of Life". Gu Wei felt that he was very conscientious.
After chatting all the way, they returned to Taohuawu Villa.
At this time, the other residents were still in the hall on the first floor of the villa.
Gu Wei walked in under the guidance of Meng Ziyi and Guo Qilin, immediately causing everyone to exclaim.
"Wow, it's Gu Wei!"
"Teacher Gu Wei, he actually came to our variety show!"
"He's so handsome, even more handsome in real life than in movies and TV shows!"
[Taohuawu] has a total of fifteen regular guests, most of whom are not very famous, and some are not even third or fourth-tier. Their reactions when they see Gu Wei are no different from those of ordinary people seeing a star.
"Teacher Dandan, nice to meet you. I'm Gu Wei!" After entering the room, Gu Wei naturally greeted Song Dandan first.
Song Dandan, who is called "Sister Shan" and "Mom Shan" by everyone in Taohuawu, is a real senior and veteran actor in the entertainment industry.
If Uncle Benshan is the king of sketches, then Song Dandan, who has been active on the Spring Festival Gala stage since "Lazy Man's Blind Date" and "Over-Birth Guerrillas", is undoubtedly the queen of sketches.
He started working with Huang Hong and later partnered with Zhao Benshan. Baiyun and Heitu have become classic images recognized by everyone in the country.
In addition, Song Dandan is also an excellent film and television actor.
She has appeared in many movies and TV series over the years, from "I Love My Family" to "Home with Kids", which are all very popular sitcoms. She even won the Magnolia Award for Best Actress twice and the Feitian Award for Best Supporting Actress once.
"Gu Wei! I've known you from other people for a long time, but I never had the chance to meet you.
You're so tall, and really handsome, even more handsome in person than in the movies!" Song Dandan was a little surprised to see Gu Wei, but then she smiled and praised him.
"The other people Teacher Dandan mentioned should be Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan, right?"
"Haha, it's them two, but there's more than that, there's also Gao Yalin."
Gu Wei smiled and nodded: "Teacher Gao, we filmed a movie together last year."
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Song Dandan, Gu Wei went on to greet the others.
He didn't know many of the guests on [Taohuawu Season 2], and he just smiled and nodded in response to other people's excitement and enthusiasm.
When Song Yanfei saw Gu Wei, she opened her mouth in surprise, waved and greeted him excitedly, and then pulled Meng Ziyi aside.
"Why is your boss here?"
Song Yanfei and Meng Ziyi are old friends who have known each other for a long time and they often play mahjong together.
It was Meng Ziyi who recommended her to participate in the variety show "Taohuawu" this time.
“I don’t know either.
You don't know how surprised I was when I saw him get off the car when I went to pick him up!" Meng Ziyi said in a low voice.
"Is he a permanent member?" Song Yanfei became excited at the thought of recording the variety show with Gu Wei for more than ten days.
"How is that possible, he is so busy.
I just came here for two days to experience it, as a flying guest."
"Is that so?" Song Yanfei was a little disappointed.
She looked at Gu Wei who was chatting with others and pulled Meng Ziyi.
"Please help me introduce myself to Gu Wei formally later."
"Didn't you just say hello?" Meng Ziyi gave his good friend a strange look.
“How can it be the same?
There are so many people here now, he just greets everyone politely.
If you introduce me formally, it will leave a better impression on him.
You know, I like Gu Wei very much, and I never miss any of his movies or TV series."
Meng Ziyi pouted slightly, a little unhappy, but couldn't think of a reason to refuse.
When everyone was playing mahjong before, she had promised to introduce her boss to everyone when she had the chance. At that time, she was purely trying to show off.
Now that she really has this opportunity, she feels a little bit at a loss.
"Well, once he's settled and there's nothing else to do, I'll introduce you to each other."
Feeling the enthusiasm of the Taohuawu members, Gu Wei also roughly remembered their names.
The program team also took a lot of time to select the guests. They didn't just look for celebrities, but people from various industries such as film and television, music, sports, talk shows, and models. Gu Wei really didn't know many of them.
After a few pleasantries, Gu Wei went to his room under the guidance of Guo Qilin to put his luggage, and the others in the living room immediately started talking.
“The production team is so awesome that they actually invited Gu Wei to participate in Taohuawu.
I feel like our variety show has suddenly become more upscale, and my status seems a bit unworthy of this variety show." A chubby girl with small eyes joked.
"Moram, look at that infatuated look on your face just now. Can you please restrain yourself a little?" Wang Surong smiled at Moramu Yoko.
"Did I look like a bitch just now? I didn't feel anything."
“You’re not crazy yet.
With a silly smile on his face, his mouth is watering." Wang Sulong bluntly exposed the truth about Moringa.
They are all old members of Taohuawu, have a good relationship with each other, and usually speak more freely.
Moringa Yoko deliberately raised her hand to wipe the corner of her mouth: "I can't help it, I like Gu Wei too much.
This is the first time I've seen him so close.
Seriously, it’s so cool!”
"Moringu, I'm going to be sad when you say that!" Wang Hedi, who came in and sat on the sofa, shouted with a smile.
When everyone was recording the show together two days ago, Yoko Moragi kept praising him for being handsome and said that he was her "Da Ji".
"Brother, your position in my heart has not changed.
But you are different from Gu Wei. He is already at the top of the handsome guys world, and you still have room to grow.
You will become more and more handsome in the future!"
After she finished speaking, Wang Sulong continued, "My brother still has room for improvement, but I can't do it anymore. I am not on the same level as them at all."
Li Xueqin laughed and said, "Brother Long, why are you fighting over this? You are a talented person, just compete with your talent!"
Wang Sulong sighed deeply: "I really want to be an idol."
After that, everyone laughed.
After Gu Wei entered Taohuawu, he quickly integrated into the group.
Meng Ziyi and Guo Qilin were always by his side, helping him familiarize himself with the venue and explaining the rules of Taohuawu to him.
The others also responded with great enthusiasm to his arrival, and whenever they had the chance, they wanted to be in front of Gu Wei and chat with him for a while.
We are not fools. We know that since such a big star like Gu Wei is coming to Taohuawu, he will definitely be given the most shots in the later stages.
Naturally, you can get some shots by being around him.
And if I can make friends with Gu Wei, my future in the entertainment industry will be much easier.
"Brother Wei, I have something to tell you"
After leading Gu Wei around inside and out, Meng Ziyi pulled him into a small living room.
"What's up?"
"Taohuawu is holding a gala tonight, and everyone needs to prepare their own programs.
Now that you have caught up, you naturally have to prepare."
"What type of program?" Gu Wei asked.
"Whatever, singing, dancing or playing an instrument, anything is fine."
Gu Wei nodded: "It's simple. I've been on the Spring Festival Gala several times. It's easy to put on a show."
Meng Ziyi looked at Gu Wei a little embarrassed.
"Um. Can you take me with you and let's perform a show together?"
Gu Wei was a little surprised.
"Didn't you prepare before?"
"I haven't decided yet. I was planning to find someone to sing a song with, and you came right when I was just looking for someone."
At this moment, Sister Meng has already forgotten about Wang Hedi who wanted to perform with her.
Gu Wei looked at Meng Ziyi's face and smiled.
"It's not about choosing people, it's about no one going with you?
Everyone is afraid that you will lead them astray when they are singing."
"No, I'm telling you, I'm super popular. A lot of people are vying to perform with me!"
"real?"
"Of course it's true, our charm is right here~" Although Meng Ziyi felt guilty, he appeared extremely confident on the surface.
"Then why are you looking for me?"
"Brother Wei, you sing so well. It's even more amazing with you~"
Gu Wei smiled and nodded: "Then what song do you want to sing? Choose one, preferably one of my songs~"
Meng Ziyi tilted his head and said, "Those English songs of yours are too difficult. As for the Mandarin song [The Wind Rises], I can sing it pretty well."
“No problem, the wind is blowing.
I see there's a piano in a room. We can go there to practice later.
It was changed to a duet between a man and a woman, you take a line and I take a line."
"OK"
After the two of them agreed, Meng Ziyi actively followed Gu Wei to practice singing.
The gala is a big event for the residents of Taohuawu. Everyone spends the whole day preparing their own programs.
Some sang, some danced, and Song Dandan also gathered a few people to prepare a Northeastern Yangko performance.
In the afternoon, after the 650 radio station composed of Guo Qilin, Wang Surong, Li Xueqin and Moragi Yoko finished broadcasting, Guo Qilin returned to the villa.
"Brother, have you prepared a show tonight?"
After entering the door, he saw Gu Wei resting in the living room.
"Get ready, I just finished practicing. It was so hard!"
"What program are you preparing? You need to tell me. I'm the host of the evening party and I'll announce it to you when the time comes."
Gu Wei picked up the water glass and took a sip.
"I sang the song 'The Wind Rises' with Sister Meng. We just practiced for a while~"
Guo Qilin laughed and said, "It's quite difficult to practice singing with Sister Meng."
The two were chatting when Song Yanfei came down the stairs.
"Brother Wei, Qilin, you are all here.
A few of us are planning to play a game together, would you like to join us?
"What to play?" Guo Qilin asked.
"Who's the undercover agent? Brother Jun, Brother Wang He, Fei Fei, Chen Yu, and the rest of us."
"Let's go. We have nothing to do. Qilin should come with us~" Gu Wei stood up.
"Okay~" Guo Qilin agreed.
[Taohuawu] is such a slow variety show. If there is no specially arranged event like a party, then every day we just eat, chat, and play games with everyone. It is a very relaxing variety show.
At night, the sun slowly descends below the horizon.
A cliff by the sea was decorated as a party venue. There was a small wooden platform with some musical instruments on it, illuminated by several headlights around it, and behind it was the endless sea.
There are more than a dozen stools opposite the stage, which is the audience seat.
After everyone arrived, the party officially began under the hosting of Guo Qilin and his four companions.
It’s called a party, but in reality it’s just everyone having fun together. There aren’t too many rules and everyone is very relaxed.
The first program was a song and dance medley. Led by Song Dandan, eight people danced to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" together. Although the dance was not very good, it was very lively. Everyone laughed and applauded below, which was very respectful.
The second program was Yin Haoyu's solo performance of "Perfect Night". He debuted through a talent show and has some accomplishments in music. He sang while playing the piano, which was very nice to hear.
Gu Wei, who was sitting in the audience, applauded and watched the performance. Suddenly, he noticed that Meng Ziyi beside him was a little absent-minded and was still mumbling something.
"What are you doing?"
"Ah? I'm memorizing the lyrics~" Meng Ziyi showed the lyrics of "The Wind Rises" in his hand.
Gu Wei looked at her helplessly.
"We practiced for so long, haven't you memorized the lyrics yet?
That’s not right, you sang it several times afterwards.”
Meng Ziyi was a little embarrassed: "I was a little nervous and kept forgetting. I'll take this opportunity to familiarize myself with it."
Gu Wei thought about it.
“How about we not separate the two parts and just sing all the lyrics together.
With my voice, you won’t be able to tell even if you forget the lyrics.”
Meng Ziyi blinked her eyes and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say." (End of this chapter)
