The day after the Feitian Awards ended, Gu Wei boarded a plane back to Hainan.
Many media outlets wanted to interview him, but they were all rejected by his team citing work reasons.
Ordinary stars are afraid of being forgotten by the audience, so they will try various ways to increase their presence from time to time and find ways to increase their exposure.
However, at Gu Wei's level, both his national recognition and popularity have reached the top level in the country, and he actually looks down on the exposure that ordinary stars are vying for.
All of his appearances have strong purposes, either to endorse the brand he endorses, or to promote a movie or TV series that needs to be released.
He rarely shows up at other times. Even after winning a major award, Gu Wei only accepted interviews arranged by the organizer at the award ceremony, and then rejected all invitations from other media.
The only information online about him winning the award is photos and videos of the Feitian Awards ceremony.
However, this does not affect the attention and heated discussion of him by netizens and fans.
In fact, in addition to winning the Feitian Best Actor trophy, what everyone talked about most was the congratulations sent to Gu Wei by many celebrities after he won the award.
Netizens like to speculate and analyze the relationships between celebrities from these interactions, especially female celebrities who have worked with Gu Wei. Many old CP fans have been revived because of these interactions.
Among them, Gu Wei replied to Zhao Liying in an encouraging tone, which made many people follow suit and even made it a hot search, but the ranking was not high.
The plane landed in Hainan and Gu Wei returned to the crew of "Extreme Rescue".
"Boss, you're back!"
The next morning, Yang Chaoyue came to the crew and saw Gu Wei with an excited look on his face.
"I hope I haven't been lazy these two days?" Gu Wei said with a smile.
"How could I possibly be lazy? You don't know how hard I've been working these past few days. My filming schedule is extremely tight.
Every day after filming, I’m so tired that I just want to go back to the hotel and sleep early! "
Yang Chaoyue complained first and then blinked his big eyes at Gu Wei: "Boss, congratulations on winning the Feitian Best Actor Award and becoming the youngest actor in China to win all the TV drama awards!
By the way, you got the trophy back, let me see it."
"In my room. I'll show it to you when I get back tonight."
After chatting with Yang Chaoyue for a while, the other actors in the crew came forward to congratulate Gu Wei when they saw him.
After finishing filming in the morning, Gu Wei was having lunch in the RV when he suddenly received a call from Yang Mi.
". I know she has been trying to transform herself in the past two years. With Zhao Liying's film selection skills and her professionalism in filming, she is likely to win an award in the future.
Actually, you can also consider the issue of transformation, after all, it is impossible to act in idol dramas for the rest of your life.
No, there are no suitable roles for her in my subsequent projects, and I have no plans for cooperation in the short term.
Who told you we would cooperate?"
Da Mimi congratulated him on winning the Flying Apsaras Award for Best Actor, and then talked about some of his recent work. Finally, he pretended to casually mention his interaction with Zhao Liying on Weibo.
"No, just a casual question~
By the way, this month I have two dramas airing online, "Thank You Doctor" and "The 80/20 Rule of Love".
Don’t forget to help me spread the word.”
"No problem, I'll post on Weibo to help you promote it after it airs!"
The two chatted for a while, and after hanging up the phone, Gu Wei smiled and shook his head.
Da Mimi called him and talked a lot, and Gu Wei could see through her little thoughts at once.
It was simply because he interacted with Zhao Liying on Weibo after winning the award, which made Yang Mi think that the two would have a project collaboration in the future, so she made a phone call to test the waters.
But this is normal. As top actresses born after 1985, Yang Mi and Zhao Liying have been compared over the years. Although they have no personal grudges, the competition is real.
Gu Wei has a good relationship with both of them. His reply on Weibo inevitably makes people wonder whether the two are going to collaborate on a new drama, giving Zhao Liying a chance to compete for the Feitian Award.
"Boss, among these top female celebrities from the 85 Flower era, do you think Sister Liying is the most popular?"
Seeing Gu Wei hang up the phone, Yang Chaoyue asked curiously.
She listened to the entire phone call just now and also saw the hot search about her boss and Zhao Liying.
It's quite exaggerated that it became a hot topic just by replying to a sentence on Weibo, but it is reasonable since the two protagonists are Gu Wei and Zhao Liying.
"About the same, Zhao Liying came from the lowest background among the top actresses of her generation, but she has the strongest career ambition.
Over the years, she has worked her way up to her current position as a top actress. After the huge success of "The Story of Minglan", she was able to resolutely change her track and settle down to try filming modern dramas with rural themes. This decisiveness is rare.
This shows that she has a clear plan for her acting career and does not care about temporary gains and losses.
Sooner or later, success will come.”
Yang Chaoyue thought for a moment and said, "You are talking about the drama [Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes] that aired this summer, right?
I have also watched that drama, it is really good and Sister Liying’s acting is also very good.
However, the ratings and popularity seem to be less than ideal."
Gu Wei laughed and said, "Of course the performance is much worse than "The Story of Minglan" and "Princess Agents". This has something to do with the type and subject matter of the TV series.
Although the ratings of "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes" are average, it has a very high reputation.
Zhao Liying's performance in the film is remarkable, and she has proved her acting skills to everyone, allowing more people to see her plasticity in the role and greatly broadening her acting range.
This will be of great help to the development of her future acting career!
They say transformation is difficult, but it's rare for her to perform like this during this period!"
Yang Chaoyue nodded thoughtfully.
"By the way, there seems to be a TV series starring Sister Liying that will be aired this month. I saw the trailer on TikTok. It's called Feng or something."
"【Wind Blows Pinellia】~"
"Yes, yes, that's the name.
Boss, have you seen the trailer too?"
Gu Wei shrugged: "When this drama was being prepared, Zhao Liying approached me and wanted me to act with her.
I didn't have the schedule at that time, and "Wind Blows Pinellia" is a typical female-led drama, so I refused.
However, the script of this drama is very solid, and the character of the heroine "Xu Banxia" is also very good. After it is broadcast, it should be more popular than "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes"!
Gu Wei replied to Zhao Liying like that on Weibo because two years later, she won the Feitian Award for Best Actress for her role in "Wind Blows in Pinellia".
It can be said that it is because of the success of this drama that she has truly distanced herself from other 85 flowers in her career.
“Such a high rating?
I want to see how this drama goes.”
Yang Chaoyue muttered.
Gu Wei smiled and continued to eat.
Gu Wei did not show up in public and focused on filming on the set, and the popularity of him as the Flying Apsaras Award winner gradually subsided.
Soon half a month passed and the filming of "Extreme Rescue" was officially completed.
".I have already agreed with Lionsgate that our film will be released worldwide in the future.
It is not the same as the previous domestic films that were released in dozens or hundreds of theaters in North America, but it is treated the same as Hollywood local films, with thousands of theaters opening at the same time.
The same is true in other countries.
That’s why I asked Lionsgate to invest.
I have high hopes for this film and hope it will be a huge hit not only domestically but also internationally.”
At the wrap-up party, Gu Wei and Wen Mu also talked about the release of the movie.
"The domestic box office should be no problem. With your charisma, Boss, [Extreme Rescue] can at least make 3 billion.
As for North America and other countries, it is hard to say.
I think our film is on par with John Wick 4 in every way, and I hope it can achieve similar box office results overseas!" Wen Mu also said.
"Haha, I believe there will be no problem!"
Gu Wei picked up the cup with a smile.
The two took a sip of wine, and he continued, "Regarding the post-production of this film, I asked the company to find a few Hollywood editors to work with the company's original editors.
Of course, you have the final say on how it will be cut!"
Wen Mu also nodded when he heard this.
He understood what Gu Wei meant. After all, this was a movie that was to be released worldwide, so its style had to combine both Chinese and Western elements.
"I plan to refer to the styles of John Wick, Taken, and my previous film, The Three Evils, focusing on action scenes with a fast-paced plot.
[Extreme Rescue] will definitely become an action blockbuster that is popular with the audience! (End of this chapter)
