Chapter 858 Pie in the Sky



After all the awards were presented, this year's Golden Rooster Awards officially ended.

When the stars left the stage, Zhou Ye lifted her skirt and skipped over to Gu Wei, whispering to him about the dinner.

Of course Gu Wei had no objection and agreed with a smile, while at the same time calling Zhang Zifeng and Xiao Yang beside him to join him.

After hesitating for a moment, he extended an invitation to Liu Haocun who was not far away.

Liu Haocun seemed very surprised after hearing what Gu Wei said, and nodded happily.

The Golden Rooster Awards lasted for more than three hours. In order to look beautiful, the stars often went on stage on an empty stomach, and were basically starving at this time.

Gu Wei and his companions were no exception. After coming out, they quickly arrived at a high-end restaurant near the Straits Theatre.

Since they were all Gu Wei's friends and knew almost everyone else, the atmosphere of the dinner was quite relaxed and enjoyable.

Gu Wei and Xiao Yang were drinking and chatting here, while a few girls led by Nini were chattering over there.

Zhang Zifeng and Zhou Ye have known each other for a long time. She also has a good relationship with Ni Ni. The two of them even filmed the TV series "Genius Basic Law" together this year.

She starred in the film with Lei Jiayin, and Ni Ni made a special guest appearance.

Only Liu Haocun is not very familiar with the others. However, because they are all Mou Girls, Ni Ni is more caring towards Liu Haocun and will take her along when chatting so as not to make her feel embarrassed.

"Have you got the script for Manslaughter 2?"

“I got it. It’s a very interesting story, and I feel it’s no worse than the first one.

But my agent didn’t tell me when filming would start, and Mr. Yang said the company had just started preparations.”

Xiao Yang took a bite of the food, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Gu Wei's, took a small sip, and continued to pick up food to eat.

“This film was indeed only recently in the works, and initially I wanted Wen Mu to take over as well, but he didn’t want to do it, so I gave it to Cui Rui.

Director Cui should have received the script around the same time as you."

"I can imagine that Director Wen wouldn't continue filming. He didn't want to make a second part of the original "Love Saint".

However, the "Manslaughter" series is a suspense drama, and I think the story of the second part is equally exciting. It's a pity that he didn't film it."

Xiao Yang and Wen Mu are also old partners. Starting from the beginning of "The Love Master", neither of them was famous. Until later after "Dying to Survive" and "The Accidental Detective", both of them became big directors and well-known movie stars.

The two of them achieved success together along the way and also forged a deep friendship.

Gu Wei laughed and said, "Old Wen is just being lazy.

He felt that he had been filming movies continuously in recent years and the workload was too intense, so after finishing "Miracle", he wanted to take a break.

Now that he said that, I can't help but agree.

Otherwise it would seem like I, as the boss, am exploiting him."

Xiao Yang also laughed: "Director Wen is indeed not a particularly hardworking person. I have worked with him so many times and I feel this deeply.

Some directors like to take charge of all the big and small matters on the crew when filming.

Director Wen only cares about filming on the set, focusing all his energy on things that interest him, and he pushes away or avoids other things whenever possible.

Fortunately, our company’s producer, assistant director, and executive director were very capable, and the crew members were all veterans who had worked together many times, so everything went smoothly.”

"This is also his working style," Gu Wei said with a smile.

"Have the main actors for Manslaughter 2 been decided?

Who will play the heroine "A Ling"? Or Tan Zhuo?

Gu Wei shook his head: "The heroine is Zhang Tianai from the company."

Xiao Yang thought for a moment and said, "According to the setting, there shouldn't be any problem with her acting.

And considering Zhang Tianai’s popularity, it will definitely have a greater impact on the box office!

What about the police officer role?"

"What do you think of Liang Jiahui?"

The actor who played the police officer "Zhang Zhengyi" in the original version of "Manslaughter 2" was Ren Dahua, but when Gu Wei discussed this movie with Cui Rui before, the other party suggested inviting Liang Jiahui.

“The Thousand Faces Movie Emperor!

It's no problem for Mr. Liang Jiahui to play this role. I've been dreaming about working with him for a long time, and I didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon! "

Xiao Yang's eyes lit up after hearing what Gu Wei said, and he looked forward to "Manslaughter 2" even more.

After the dinner, everyone said goodbye at the hotel entrance and got into the cars that came to pick them up.

Gu Wei was sitting in the nanny car and heading to the hotel when he suddenly received a message on his phone. He opened it and was reading it when he received another one, but it was not from the same person as the previous one.

“It’s really a happy trouble.”

After thinking for two seconds, he asked the driver to change the destination hotel.

Soon, according to the address received on the mobile phone, a black Mercedes-Benz drove to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Xiamen.

After ringing the doorbell, the door opened quickly.

Ni Ni in the room pulled Gu Wei in, turned around, closed the door, and pounced on him.

"Don't talk, just kiss me."

Gu Wei accepted Mr. Miao's enthusiasm completely, holding the other's pretty face and kissing her.

The two of them walked towards the bedroom, kissing each other, and soon their clothes were scattered all over the floor.

Having not seen each other for a long time, Ni Ni vented her long-accumulated passion on Gu Wei, and Gu Wei cooperated and responded.

As the night deepened, after a long time, the bedroom returned to peace.

Gu Wei was leaning against the headboard with his upper body naked, Ni Ni's hair was disheveled and she was lying on his chest, with her beautiful white and smooth back exposed.

Her breathing gradually calmed down, and Nini's little hands on Gu Wei began to move dishonestly.

"How do you usually work out? It seems like you've been in such great shape ever since we met. Those muscles are like they're welded to your body, with sharp, defined edges. You're not one of those big guys who gets bloated from working out."

"This is a talent. They can grow into the most perfect shape on their own without any practice.

Like Spider-Man, when have you ever seen him work out?"

Ni Ni patted Gu Wei's abdominal muscles with her small hands: "Bragging!"

Gu Wei smiled, he knew that no one would believe him if he told the truth.

"Are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes, I came to Xiamen to attend the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony. I'm flying to Changsha tomorrow."

"Filming?"

Gu Wei shook his head. "I have a TV series coming out in a few days, so I'm going to record a variety show to promote it."

Ni Ni thought for a moment and said, "It must be the film [Beginning] that Tengxun Video has been promoting.

It seems the platform has been hyping it up for quite some time now, with people online saying this drama will definitely be the hit of 2022!

“[Beginning] is a low-budget web series with only 15 episodes.

I took the job because of a favor from Mr. Hou of Noon Sunshine, and also because I thought the story was interesting and the script was well written.

I don’t really care whether it explodes or not.”

Nini curled her lips and said: "It's too Versailles. You don't care because your dramas are always popular."

Gu Wei smiled, stroked Ni Ni's hair, and rubbed his palm on her delicate back.

"And you?

What have you been busy with lately? Filming?"

“I haven’t been in a group for more than half a year.

In the past six months, I have either been promoting released movies or performing in plays.

The only drama I acted in was a guest appearance in Zi Feng's TV series."

"Are you still acting in a play?"

Gu Wei was a little surprised.

“Come on, you don’t care about me at all, I’ve been acting for three years!

It was first performed at the Shanghai Theatre in Shanghai, and later at the Wuzhen Grand Theatre, Hangzhou Grand Theatre, and the China National Centre for the Performing Arts.

Nini was a little dissatisfied, and opened her mouth and took a small bite on Gu Wei's body.

"Hiss~ It's not that I don't care. You know how busy I am with work. If you were filming a movie or TV series, I would definitely know about it. Drama is really not within my usual scope of attention.

So, whenever you have a performance, I will definitely go and see it!"

Ni Ni was very satisfied with Gu Wei's attitude. She gently kissed the place she had just bitten and licked it with her pink tongue.

“There’s no chance.

I previously participated in an anti-Japanese war suspense drama written and directed by Lai Shengchuan, called "Yaoyaodongba".

After my final curtain call performance some time ago, I announced my withdrawal from the play and my role will be replaced by someone else."

"Why don't you act anymore?"

"I've been performing this play for three years now, starting in 2019, and I'm a little tired of it."

"Are you planning to quit the drama and join the filming crew?"

“There are no movies to film. Although there are crews approaching me one after another, I can’t convince myself just by reading the script.

Good projects are hard to come by, and the film and television industry has been in a tough spot for the past two years. Only a big star like you, standing at the top of the entertainment industry, can't understand this."

After Nini finished speaking, Gu Wei also fell silent, and the room was quiet for a few seconds.

She looked up at Gu Wei and said, "Uh, I don't mean anything else.

When I'm not filming, I can still shoot for magazines, attend brand events, etc.

I also have more time to rest at home.

If you are not busy, you can come to me and I will cook for you."

Gu Wei, who was lost in thought, came back to his senses and looked at Ni Ni with a smile: "I just thought of a movie that I bought the copyright for a long time ago and wanted to make.

It's just that I've been so busy in the past two years that I forgot about it.

What you said reminds me of this play."

"I remind you of a movie? What does that have to do with anything?" Ni Ni looked confused and didn't understand what Gu Wei meant at all.

"To be precise, I once bought the copyright of a foreign film to remake it, and I thought there was a role in it that was very suitable for you.

It’s just that I was so busy with work at the time that I forgot about it, and the film has been gathering dust in the company’s copyright library for two years.” Gu Wei explained with a smile.

"What movie?" Nini's eyes lit up when she heard his words and she asked quickly.

“There’s an old Soviet movie called Trap for Bachelors.

The original film was a comedy-suspense thriller, but after the changes, the comedy elements were reduced and it became a pure suspense crime thriller."

What Gu Wei was talking about was the film "Her Majesty" directed by Cui Rui of the original time and space and produced by Chen Sicheng.

"When are you going to start filming?"

Ni Ni was a little anxious. Gu Wei's company has always been famous for producing high-quality film and television dramas, and his vision is recognized as good in the domestic entertainment industry.

The movies he likes must be good!

"Don't worry, the film hasn't started preparations yet, and the director I want to use has other projects to shoot right now."

Cui Rui has already taken on "Manslaughter 2" and will definitely not have time in the first half of next year.

"I'll have the company prepare the script and send it to you. Please take a look at it first.

The earliest this film can start shooting is the second half of next year or even the end of the year."

Ni Ni nodded vigorously, then looked at Gu Wei again after thinking about something: "Will you play the male lead?"

Gu Wei thought about it and decided that since "Her" had good reputation and box office, it might not be a bad idea for him to play the role of "He Fei".

So he nodded.

"Very good!"

Nini cried out in surprise and sat up immediately.

The good news, like pie in the sky, made her excited. All the fatigue she had just felt disappeared, as if she was injected with new strength.

Gu Wei raised his eyebrows and admired the vast expanse of snow-white scenery in front of him.

Nini didn't care at all. She lifted her legs and sat on him, then lowered her head for a kiss.

With the blessing of good news, the two began the second competition tonight.

#The complete list of winners of the 34th Golden Rooster Awards is out, Zhang Yimou won the Best Director! #

#Zhang Yimou won the Golden Rooster Award for the tenth time, Zhang Yi and Zhang Xiaofei won the Best Actor and Best Actress respectively! #

#Gu Wei and Zhang Zifeng failed to defend their titles, and Liu Ye regretfully lost the Best Actor award! #

The day after the Golden Rooster Awards, the entertainment sections of major news media reported on last night's awards ceremony.

Generally speaking, everyone is quite satisfied with the final results of this year's Golden Rooster Awards, and the winners of each major award are also in line with everyone's expectations.

Zhang Yimou’s ten Golden Rooster Awards are of great value.

Zhang Yi's performance in "On the Cliff" also deserves an Best Actor award.

Zhang Xiaofei has been in the industry for many years and finally became famous because of the movie "Hello, Li Huanying" and won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress.

But she is actually the most controversial.

The reason is that "Hello, Li Huanying" has too many commercial elements, and comedy movies are not favored by awards.

Everyone analyzed that Zhang Xiaofei was able to win the award simply because her competitors this year were not very good.

Liu Haocun's role in "Send You a Little Red Flower" was not impressive enough, and Liu Mintao's "Goodbye! Boy" lost in terms of popularity.

The only one who won awards in all aspects is Zhang Zifeng, who was the Best Actress last year.

As a result, Zhang Xiaofei was lucky enough to become the Best Actress at the 34th Golden Rooster Awards.

Some netizens joked that this year's Golden Rooster Awards was a victory for the Zhang family, as the winners of Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Director all had the surname Zhang.

The next morning, Gu Wei said goodbye to Ni Ni and flew from Xiamen to Changsha.

".The company's copyright library contains a former Soviet film called "Trap for Bachelors."

I remember that I asked you to buy the copyright in 2019.

Let the screenwriting department prepare the adapted script for this movie first.

I will send you an outline later and ask them to adapt it according to my outline."

On the private plane, after Gu Wei finished talking to Yang Liwen on the phone, Yang Dan was already standing in front of him.

".We've made an appointment with Mango TV. Boss, you and Zhao Jinmai will be appearing on Mr. He Jiong's new show, Hello, Saturday.

Due to some reasons, "Happy Camp" has been discontinued. This program is considered a revised version and substitute of "Happy Camp".

There have been some changes to the program content and process, but overall it remains the same as an indoor variety show."

Gu Wei nodded, then asked curiously, "Do you know why Happy Camp was discontinued?"

【Happy Camp】has been broadcast since 1997 and is a national variety show that has been popular for over 20 years.

Although it has been on a downward trend in recent years, it still has many fans and supporters.

Yang Dan thought for a moment and said, "As far as we know, Happy Camp was not stopped by Mango TV on its own initiative, but was forcibly banned by the higher-ups!

The main reasons are the over-entertainment nature of the variety show and the negative news surrounding the host team accepting gifts.

The result was that Mango TV was forced to stop broadcasting Happy Camp, and only He Jiong remained from the Happy Family, with the other hosts forced to withdraw. (End of this chapter)
