As early as more than half a month ago, Weibo Night began to warm up in various ways, with overwhelming hot searches every day, and the scale was even bigger than the most authoritative award ceremony.
According to the organizer's publicity, there will be more than one hundred celebrities and artists of all sizes coming to the Weibo Night this year, which will definitely be the most star-studded event in recent years.
Online audiences and fans also have high expectations for this Weibo Night.
According to the data officially released by Sina, more than half of the most popular celebrities and stars in the entertainment industry will be present at the event today.
All the 85 flowers except Zhao Liying were present. The most popular 90 flowers Yang Zi and Reba also came to the scene. There were also new top stars Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi, the three little boys of TFBOYS, as well as Yu Shuxin, Bai Lu, Wang Hedi, Tian Xiwei, Zhang Linghe, Li Landi, Shen Yue, Gong Jun and other new generation flowers and actors.
The most important thing is that Gu Wei will also be present.
This is the first time he has attended such a gala since winning the Best Actor award at the Golden Rooster Awards last year.
At the end of last year, Gu Wei did not appear at the "Starlight Awards", "Scream Night" and various New Year's Eve parties. His participation in the "Weibo Night" also made many of his fans very excited.
March 25, Mercedes-Benz Cultural Center in Shanghai.
According to the organizer's original plan, the red carpet walk would start at 2:30 p.m., and after the red carpet walk, some rest would be done before the evening party officially began at 7 p.m.
As a result, for some unknown reason, after the previous stars had walked the red carpet for more than an hour, the organizers suddenly cancelled the red carpet segment.
In the lounge backstage, the stars gathered in groups of three or four to chat and rest.
".What are you looking at?"
In the corner, Li Yi was chatting with Tian Xiwei beside him. He noticed that she was looking around from time to time, so he asked curiously.
The two met at an event before, and later found that they got along very well with each other, so they became friends.
When Li Yitong was filming "Kuangchuan", Xiaotian even visited her on the set.
"Looking for my boss.
It’s already this late, why can’t I see him?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhan and several people from the [Nameless] crew walked over, and Xiaotian grabbed them.
"Xiao Zhan, have you seen the boss?"
There were a lot of people in the lounge, including celebrities and many staff members. Xiao Zhan didn't notice Tian Xiwei sitting on the chair until she pulled him.
The two are artists from the same company. They were not familiar with each other at first, but they became good friends after filming "Daily Life" together.
“I see~”
"Where?"
"I just ran into the boss in the corridor coming in."
"Hmm? I looked around, but it's not in the lounge?"
Xiao Zhan said helplessly: “It should not be here.
When I saw the boss, he seemed to be accompanied by Mr. Cao from Sina, and the two were walking and chatting.
He should have gone to the special lounge and won't be with us~"
After he finished speaking, Oda looked a little discouraged.
"Hello, Sister Yitong~"
After talking to her, Xiao Zhan saw Li Yitong next to Xiaotian and greeted him politely.
"Hello, hello~"
Li Yitong responded with a smile.
"It's okay, I'm leaving first."
Tian Xiwei waved her hand. Xiao Zhan didn't care about her attitude. He straightened his clothes and left.
"You have a good relationship with Xiao Zhan?" Li Yi asked curiously as he watched Xiao Zhan leaving.
Tian Xiwei held her chin with her hand, her mood was not so high: "It's okay, the relationship was just average originally.
Later we worked together on a drama and became familiar with each other."
“I watched your drama [Daily Life of a Lady], it was so good!
Xiaozhan has become more and more popular in the past two years. The box office of his Spring Festival movie "Unknown" exceeded 1 billion.
He and Zeng Shunxi over there can be said to be the most popular male stars in the past two years!"
Tian Xiwei followed Li Yitong's gaze and saw that on the other side of the hall, Zeng Shunxi was chatting animatedly with Wang Hedi, Wu Lei and others.
“The company provides good resources.
Originally, the two were just popular. Zeng Shunxi took on the role in "The Journey Home" and Xiao Zhan played the role in "The Nameless". Only then did they break into the film industry from the drama circle, and their popularity and fame reached a new level. "
"I heard they both set up their own studios. Your company is really generous."
"This is normal. The company's unspoken rule is that once an artist's fame and popularity reach a certain level, they will help them set up their own studio.
The studio will be affiliated with the company and have shares in the company, but the artists' income will be much higher than before, and they will have more autonomy."
From the earliest Nazha, Zhang Tianai, Li Xian, Xiao Yang to Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi, the transition from agency contract to personal studio has become a default unspoken rule of [Weiming Tianxia Agency].
As long as you are famous enough, the company doesn't mind making concessions and allowing the artist to make more money.
"That's rare. The agencies I've seen all exploit their artists to death. There are very few agencies like yours."
"Because our boss is not short of money~" Oda said the most fundamental reason.
Li Yitong couldn't help but nod his head as he thought of the news at the beginning of the year: "Your boss is able to spend 4.5 billion to acquire Wanda Films. He is definitely not short of money.
By the way, you are an artist under Gu Wei, so you should be able to see him often, right? "
"Of course not, otherwise I wouldn't have checked to see if he was there or not.
The boss is usually very busy, so if we don’t film together, we hardly see each other.”
Xiaotian said this in a somewhat unhappy mood. Li Yitong could vaguely see some of her best friend's thoughts, but she did not point it out.
Gu Wei is the biggest bachelor in the domestic entertainment industry. His fame, looks, power, and every aspect of him are extremely attractive to female stars.
Before entering the entertainment industry, Li Yitong was also a half-fan of Gu Wei. She watched all of Gu Wei's early works such as "Swords of Legends", "Come on, My Love", and "Love O2O".
It’s a pity that she has never become popular after becoming an actress. She is almost in the same circle as Gu Wei and there is no opportunity for them to work together.
She sometimes dreams of having the opportunity to work with her former idol, and she would try to be more proactive.
In her opinion, stars like Xiaotian who are under Gu Wei have a great chance of getting the upper hand.
The two best friends each had their own thoughts and chatted idly.
After a while, Yang Mi arrived, followed by Reba in a pink dress. When Xiaotian saw her, he quickly stood up and said, "I'll go say hello~"
She is not familiar with Yang Mi, but she is familiar with Reba.
The first drama he filmed when he entered the industry was "You Are My Glory", in which he played Reba's assistant.
…
As the opening time of Weibo Night is getting closer, the stars enter the venue and take their seats under the guidance of the staff.
Gu Wei and his group were almost the last to enter. Beside him were Cao Guowei, Yu Dong, Hou Hongliang, Zhang Yimou, and Guo Fan.
Walking from the back to the front row, artists kept standing up to greet a few people, and Gu Wei and the others responded with a smile.
"Boss~"
Zeng Shunxi stood up and greeted the boss when he saw him coming. Gu Wei smiled and nodded, then looked at Dapeng beside him.
"Mr. Gu~"
"Director Dapeng, I saw [Keep You Safe], it's one of the rare good movies in the domestic entertainment industry in recent years."
Dapeng was a little flattered: "Mr. Gu, you are too kind."
"Your film [Fever] should also be released this year, right?"
[Warm] is a comedy film directed by Dapeng and starring Huang Bo and Zeng Shunxi.
The original version was Wang Yibo, but now Wang Yibo is still an 18th-tier star. He has not become famous at all and it is impossible for him to get this pie.
The role was suitable for a young traffic star. The crew hesitated between Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi and finally decided on Zeng Shunxi.
This time, Dapeng came to participate in Weibo Night, not only to receive an award, but also to promote the new movie that will be released in the future. This is why the organizer arranged Zeng Shunxi to sit next to him.
"It's planned to be around the summer season."
"It looks like the competition for this summer's box office will be fierce. I already know of several films that have the potential to be big hits~"
"I'll need Mr. Gu's help when the time comes!" Dapeng's attitude was very humble.
He owed Gu Wei a favor when he first filmed "The Pancake Man" and he also knew how much resources the other party controlled in the entertainment industry, so he was able to put himself in the right position when speaking.
“That’s easy to say. After all, [Rere] also has investments from [Wanda Films] and [Wei Ming Tian Xia].
And I believe in your abilities."
Just like "The Wandering Earth 2" has more than 20 co-producers, "Rere" naturally also has producers with distribution and theater resources.
However, the main investors of this film are still Yi Ru Pictures and Dapeng's own Tacheng Pictures, and other co-producers hold a very small share.
"If you have new scripts or ideas in the future, feel free to contact me first. I can provide whatever Tencent can provide.
Whether it’s funding, personnel or anything else.”
After a little hesitation, Gu Wei made a promise to Dapeng.
He is really optimistic about this non-professional director who came from a low-income background and started out by making funny short videos.
If we say that in "The Pancake Man" Dapeng was just simply piling up stars and relying on sentimentality to make some shitty and fart jokes, then in the subsequent "Sewing Machine Band", "Good Luck", "Keep You Safe", every movie shows his improvement.
And from these movies, we can deeply feel that Dapeng really puts his heart into making things, rather than just trying to become famous and make money.
At Gu Wei's current stage, sometimes making money is no longer the most important option.
He is optimistic about Dapeng and hopes to support him in making better films in the future.
"Thank you, thank you Mr. Gu~"
Dapeng was also a little surprised, but he couldn't promise anything, so he could only smile and express his gratitude.
The films he directed in recent years have always been in collaboration with Yi Ru Films, and there have not been any major disagreements.
[Yi Ru] is a film and television production company under the Tencent Group, just like the original relationship between [Wanda Pictures] and [Wanda Group].
But no one can guarantee that this kind of cooperation can continue forever. Gu Wei is so optimistic about him, and he has multiple options and multiple ways out.
Before the party started, Gu Wei chatted with some acquaintances near the front row before walking leisurely to his seat.
Maybe because they are both Weibo King and Queen, the organizer arranged him and Liu Yifei together this time.
On the other side of Gu Wei are Yang Mi, baby, and Liu Shishi, and on Liu Yifei's side are Tang Yan and Gu Ailing, who was very popular last year.
Except for the skiers, everyone else is an acquaintance.
"Isn't Tang Yan here yet?"
The seat next to Liu Yifei had Tang Yan's name on it but it was empty. The party was about to start, so it was strange that it wasn't here yet.
The two people next to him are Tang Yan’s best friends, but one is her ex-best friend and the other is her current best friend.
Yang Mi remained silent, and Liu Yifei said, "Tang Tang can't come.
She was late due to other work, and when she arrived outside the venue, the road was blocked due to a large number of fans gathered, and people were allowed to leave but not enter, so she couldn't get in."
Gu Wei nodded.
He has not had many opportunities to cooperate with Tang Yan in recent years, but the two have always been in contact and can occasionally meet and communicate when they are in Shanghai.
Maybe it was because there were too many people, or maybe there was some grudge between them before, but after Gu Wei sat down, Liu Yifei and Yang Mi beside him didn't say much.
A light green Disney princess dress looks charming and fairy-like; a bright red V-neck long dress, red lips and curly hair, looks plump and attractive.
Unfortunately, there was no expression on either of their faces, and they looked very cold.
On the contrary, Baby and the ski champion who were farther away were quite enthusiastic towards Gu Wei and wanted to chat with him even though there were people between them.
Although this year's Weibo Night was lively, the process was still the same old routine, with performances and awards.
Almost every star, big or small, who attended the event had one.
Gu Wei sat in his seat and watched the performance and some young actors and singers who came on stage to receive awards. He thought it was quite interesting.
"See others receiving awards so seriously?" Liu Yifei finally couldn't help but take the initiative to talk to him.
The main reason was that Yang Mi had her best friend Baby next to her, and the two of them were whispering from time to time. There was only one empty seat on Liu Yifei's side except for Gu Wei, so her best friend was not there.
“I sometimes wonder if I’m getting old.”
"How old are you? What will I do if you get old?"
"I don't recognize many of the new actors on stage. They look very young and must have debuted in the past few years."
Liu Yifei nodded: "It's normal. Talented people emerge in every generation, and the same is true in the entertainment industry. There will always be fresh blood injected.
Besides, you don’t know him, but who doesn’t know you? "
"Ha, Sissi, when did you become so good at talking?"
Liu Yifei raised her chin slightly with a proud expression.
On the other side, Yang Mi listened to Baby talking but her attention had already shifted to Gu Wei. Hearing him chatting happily with Liu Yifei, her hand on the edge of her skirt stroked Gu Wei's leg twice intentionally or unintentionally.
Gu Wei certainly felt it. He turned his head slightly, and a snow-white plump figure appeared before his eyes. He controlled his gaze and didn't look down. "How's the filming of Sister Mi going?"
"Just finished filming~"
Gu Wei was stunned.
"I remember you told me at the beginning of the month that the filming had just started, and it's been less than a month."
“To be exact, it took 20 days to shoot.
To be honest, I also think this movie is not very good, but director Ding Sheng’s film will only be released for a few days, so I might as well go and help out.
The main actors also include Brother Qian and Tian Yu."
It can be seen that Yang Mi really wants to make a movie. Ding Sheng, who directed "Saving Mr. Wu" and "Railroad Tigers", is a well-known director. Even though it doesn't seem like a very reliable opportunity, she still gave it a try.
However, after filming, she almost realized that this movie would most likely not be a success.
"What's the name of the movie?"
“[There is nothing that a hot pot meal can’t solve]”
Gu Wei thought about it, but he had no recollection of it. (End of this chapter)
