Chapter 195 I Like Small Animals Very Much
A little after 2 p.m., at Huachen Cinema in Beijing.
[Women Who Act Like Coquettishly Have the Best Luck] is a movie produced by Huayi. Most of the people who attended the premiere were stars under Huayi, and some good friends of Huang Xiaoming's circle.
The red carpet outside the cinema was not very long, and Gu Wei's appearance was completely unexpected by the media and audience present.
As soon as he appeared, some audience members and fans outside the theater immediately burst into screams.
"Ah~ It's Gu Wei!!"
"Gu Wei~Gu Wei~Look here!!"
"Feng Teng, I love you, you're so handsome!"
“.”
The young boys and girls who were watching shouted, and the media were not idle either. The flashlights of their cameras kept flashing, trying their best to capture every shot of Gu Wei.
Smiling and waving to the fans and reporters around him, Gu Wei walked across the red carpet without stopping.
Huang Xiaoming, who was chatting with Wang Zhongjun in the hall, also heard the sudden shouting outside. He apologized and walked towards the door.
When the two met, Huang Xiaoming took the initiative to stretch out his hands to shake Gu Wei, and said with a smile:
"Gu Wei, thank you for coming here.
Your presence here has given me a lot of face."
Huang Xiaoming was really happy that Gu Wei accepted his invitation to attend the premiere of the movie.
Just like what he had told his girlfriend Baby before, Huang Xiaoming has been very proactive in making friends with Gu Wei since they met.
He had also heard recently that Gu Wei's TV series was a huge hit, which made him even more satisfied with his previous decision.
"Since Brother Xiaoming has invited me, I will definitely come."
Gu Wei smiled and said politely. He could feel Huang Xiaoming's enthusiasm towards him every time they met.
Although he is very popular now and has many young fans, he has been in the circle for too short a time and has a shallow foundation. There is still some gap in national popularity compared with Huang Xiaoming, a top star who has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years.
It's just like Zhou Jue when he first debuted. Although his records sold well and he was famous, becoming a high-quality idol of the younger generation, if compared with veteran singers like Zhou Huajian and Jacky Cheung, people still felt that he lacked the experience of time.
Gu Wei himself had no aversion to Huang's enthusiasm, so naturally he would not respond coldly.
"Come, let me introduce someone to you."
Huang Xiaoming chatted with Gu Wei for a few words and led him to a middle-aged man.
"This is Mr. Wang Zhongjun, Chairman of Huayi Brothers Company.
Mr. Wang, this is the Gu Wei you've been talking about."
"Hello, Mr. Wang."
Gu Wei politely said hello.
Wang Zhongjun stretched out his hand with a smile and shook hands with Gu Wei.
"You are truly a hero from a young age. Gu Wei, you have achieved such great success since entering the industry at such a young age. I am truly astonished.
In fact, I have been following you since the release of "The Swordsman" in 2012. I never thought that in just two years, your development has exceeded everyone's expectations."
"Mr. Wang is too polite. I'm just acting normally and moving forward step by step."
Gu Wei said modestly.
After chatting with Wang Zhongjun for a while, Gu Wei could feel that the other party wanted to make friends with him.
Just like what Huang Bo said, in the entertainment industry, as long as you become famous, you will find that there are good people around you.
His current fame and popularity, as well as the film and television company behind him, are enough to make Wang Zhongjun willing to lower himself to make friends with him.
After all, judging from Gu Wei’s past record, his film appeal will definitely not be bad, and Huayi’s films will inevitably use him in the future.
Gu Wei also kept chatting with Wang Zhongjun with a smile. Huayi is also a force in the entertainment industry, and it is inevitable that there will be times for cooperation in the future. Of course, cooperation is cooperation, and if there is competition between the two parties, neither side will be soft-handed.
After a while, the premiere ceremony was about to begin, and Huang Xiaoming personally led Gu Wei to his seat.
Huang Xiaoming was very considerate. Knowing that Gu Wei was familiar with Yang Mi, he arranged him and Yang Mi together.
"Miss Mi, you're here too?"
Gu Wei sat down and looked at Yang Mi beside him with some surprise.
"Hey~ Isn't this the domineering CEO, Gu the scumbag?"
Yang Mi joked with Gu Wei.
"Sister Mi, you've also read the news online. I feel so wronged. They are deliberately slandering me."
Gu Wei looked aggrieved.
"Some of it is indeed groundless, but does calling your man a scumbag really mean you're being wronged?"
"Haha, Sister Mi, aren't you filming a movie? How do you have time to come back and attend Brother Xiaoming's movie premiere?"
Gu Wei laughed and changed the subject.
Yang Mi did not hold on to it. Given the relationship between them, it was okay for her to use the recent news to satirize Gu Wei, but there was no need to keep doing so. After all, she was not Gu Wei's girlfriend and had no right to talk about him.
"My movie [Love in the City] is a compilation movie, and I played one of the five short stories, so it was shot very quickly. I finished filming a few days ago and returned to Beijing.
In a few days, I will join the crew to shoot the movie version of "Silent Separation" with Huang Xiaoming.
He invited me to the premiere, so I must give him this honor."
"You've been playing the female lead in movies lately. Your resources are getting better and better."
Gu Wei praised.
Yang Mi rolled his eyes at him instead.
"Are you mocking me?
Don’t you know whether my movie resources are good or not?
If you want to shoot a movie from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, how can I compare with you with my limited resources? "
As she said this, she glanced at Huang Xiaoming who was still preparing on the stage.
"And when it comes to film resources, Huang Xiaoming is the real deal right now.
The movie "Women Who Act Like Coquettishly Have the Best Luck" released today is his third movie released in the second half of this year.
The last one he made was "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch: Kingdom of the Moon," which was released in August. It was a martial arts film he made with Fan Bingbing and it grossed nearly 400 million yuan, even more than your "Blade of the Assassin."
Gu Wei touched his chin and said.
"After our 'Blade Master 2' is released, I'm confident it will create a box office record for martial arts films. After all, we worked together on this, right, Sister Mi?"
"I hope so. To be honest, I don't have enough confidence in myself, but I have great confidence in you."
Yang Mi said as he looked at Gu Wei's handsome profile.
Ever since the success of Huang Xiaoming's movie "Chinese Partners" in 2013, he has become very popular in the past two years and has been receiving a lot of resources.
When I called Gu Wei to invite him a few days ago, we chatted for a few minutes. Gu Wei learned that he was still in the United States at the time, filming "Running Wild in Hollywood" with Zhao Wei.
The movie I’m working on with Zhou Xun is about to be released, and next month I’ll be filming "Why" with Yang Mi.
Plus the [White-haired Witch] who was with Fan Bingbing before.
In the past two years, Huang Xiaoming has collaborated with all the popular first-line female stars.
Yang Mi is a little weak in the film industry, but her TV series are very popular and high enough to make up for it.
After chatting with Yang Mi for a few more words, the premiere officially began.
Director Peng Haoxiang and main creators Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun, Xie Yilin and Sui Tang all took the stage.
After everyone expressed their views on the movie and their understanding of their own roles, they began the interactive interview session.
The main interviewees were Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Xun.
This romantic comedy is mainly supported by the fame of these two people.
Zhou Xun's answers to various questions were rather official and nothing special.
Huang Xiaoming, who just returned from the United States, seemed to be in a very good mood. When answering reporters' questions, he mentioned his girlfriend Baby many times. In the past, when he attended events and was interviewed by the media, he always avoided talking about his girlfriend.
Gu Wei witnessed this with his own eyes at the Magnolia Awards Ceremony.
Today's Huang Xiaoming is a little different. There is a segment where the host asked each actor to try to perform "acting coquettishly".
Faced with Xie Yilin and Sui Tang acting like a spoiled brat, Huang Xiaoming said calmly, "I have Baby, that's all!"
Later, photos of Zhou Xun and her husband Gao Shengyuan vacationing in Hawaii were exposed at the scene. Their happiness and love are enviable.
The host then asked Huang Xiaoming when he and Angelababy would also get married. He didn't change the subject this time, but answered directly, "Actually, I just haven't set a date yet. If [A Woman Who Acts Like a Coquettish Has the Best Fortune] breaks 1 billion, I'm willing to set a date right away."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire media was in an uproar and the reporters were all very happy. Today's interview now had an eye-catching title.
The interview ended and the movie started.
The whole movie lasted about an hour and a half. Gu Wei started to get distracted while watching it. On the contrary, Yang Mi next to him was very attentive and watched the movie with full concentration. He was often amused by the plot and laughed out loud.
Finally the movie ended and the audience gave a warm round of applause.
In Gu Wei's opinion, the story of this movie really cannot stand scrutiny.
The whole movie can be simply summarized as follows: Because Master Zhou is too manly, the leader's gay friend, whom Master Zhou has a crush on, falls in love with someone else. Master Zhou turns over a new leaf and works hard, and finally transforms his image into a cute girl. He then defeats Sui and Tang and successfully ascends to the throne, officially becoming the leader's girlfriend.
If we look beyond the movie, the character played by Zhou Xun is just a mistress. After all, she and the male lead were just good friends before, and Sui Tang was his official girlfriend.
Gu Wei also understood what the director wanted to express, that green tea cannot defeat true love after all, but after watching the movie, Gu Wei felt that the character played by Sui Tang did nothing to let down Huang Xiaoming from beginning to end.
On the contrary, the male protagonist Huang Xiaoming is still entangled with his female friend after he has a girlfriend. This is unbearable for any woman.
If I were to give a score, Gu Wei would give the movie 5 points. The plot and filming of the movie are only worth 3 points, and he would add another 2 points for the performances of Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Xun.
Of course, although the story has its flaws, it cannot be said to be a bad movie. It can only be said to be average. After all, many of the logics of Hong Kong directors seem counterintuitive to mainland audiences.
This can be seen in many other films as well.
After watching the entire movie, there was only one segment that impressed Gu Wei deeply.
Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun, and Sui Tang were eating at a roadside stall. When Sui Tang learned that her boyfriend had fed her rabbit meat, she burst into tears and said in a coquettish voice, "How can you eat rabbit? Rabbits are so cute!"
When seeing this, Gu Wei couldn't help laughing out loud. Yang Mi, who was sitting next to him, turned his head and looked at him strangely, not understanding what was so funny here.
Gu Wei whispered in Yang Mi's ear:
"Miss Mi, you know, I'm actually a very loving person, especially fond of animals.
How much do you like it?"
He cleared his throat.
“Don’t miss any meal!”
Yang Mi couldn't help but burst out laughing, then gave Gu Wei a reproachful look, and then continued watching the movie seriously.
Fortunately, they both spoke very quietly. The volume of the movie was so loud that the small sound was covered up.
After the movie ended, the audience who came to attend the premiere also left one after another. Gu Wei, who walked out of the screening hall alone, was also caught by the media outside.
"Zhou Xun and Xiaoming's acting is excellent. It is a warm and romantic love movie that is worth watching."
As usual, Gu Wei flattered him for a few words and then turned and left.
Originally, Yang Mi invited him to dinner at his home after the premiere, but Gu Wei was very moved and declined.
It's true that he is surrounded by scandals now. When he was on the set, nothing happened. No reporters could enter. The hotel was also very private. All the actors lived there. Nazha came to his room every night without fear of being seen by others.
But now he is back in Beijing and has even attended the premiere of his new film which was attended by so many media outlets.
If he went out, he would definitely be spotted by paparazzi. Going to the neighborhood where Yang Mi lived at this time would just be asking for trouble.
Gu Wei was sure that if he dared to go now, there would be paparazzi waiting outside Yang Mi's residential complex to take pictures of his nanny car entering and leaving the complex.
Isn’t the matter between Li Xiaolu and Pi Jiwan that paparazzi photographed her car staying overnight at the other person’s house?
After saying goodbye to Da Mimi with some regret, Gu Wei decided that he would buy a property in Jinmao Mansion when he had time. After all, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. If he was photographed, he would have a reason to argue.
I went home and had a good night's rest.
The next day, Gu Wei came to the company full of energy.
After more than ten episodes of "My Sunshine", a joke that Gu Wei wanted to avoid when filming became popular on the Internet just like in the original time and space.
"Yutanggen", although Gu Wei's role as the overbearing president is just right, not greasy, and there is nothing to criticize.
But after all, the line remained unchanged: "I want everyone to know that this fish pond is contracted by you."
Originally, the male protagonist meant to use an analogy, I am like a fish pond. After it is contracted by you, only you can come to fish, and no one else is allowed.
Talented netizens picked out this line from the TV series and called it a classic quote from a domineering president.
On the Internet, many netizens used the format, triggering a temporary wave of imitation.
[Li Jingjing, I want everyone to know that this cornfield is under your control.]
[Wang Erni, I want everyone to know that this vegetable garden is under your contract.]
【.】
Gu Wei sat in the office, scrolling through her phone, looking at netizens posting these formatted messages under her Weibo with a bit of a smile and a cry.
“Second-level netizens are really happy~”
Gu Wei naturally got the nickname "Pond Master".
He has no objection to this nickname. Netizens are just playing with it and have no malicious intent.
As this meme spread on the Internet and became a hot word, it actually increased his popularity and aroused the curiosity of many people who had not watched the TV series.
He and Zhao Liying's CP is also called the "Fish Pond Couple" by netizens.
A large number of viewers who watched the drama became CP fans of the two people, and they turned their attention from the drama to reality, and discussed it in various ways on Weibo, hoping that the two would really be together.
