Chapter 751 You Are a Real Dog
It was a small incident that attracted almost no attention in the venue.
Bald John left dejectedly. Michael nodded to Gu Wei, then smiled and said to Reba.
"I'm deeply sorry that a rather impolite person has disturbed this beautiful lady's mood.
I hope you can have a good mood at this banquet."
Reba looked at the white old man in front of her and knew that he was the president of LV, so she felt a little nervous.
"It's okay, Mr. Michael, thank you for your help."
“Haha, no need to thank me, I just happened to come over when I saw Gu here.
In fact, as long as you say you are Gu’s female companion, I believe no one at this party would be so tactless as to come and harass you~"
After saying that, he apologized to Gu Wei again, then turned and left.
In fact, this kind of thing of chatting up girls is not uncommon at usual cocktail parties and banquets. After all, this is the fashion circle, with countless handsome men and beautiful women. There are too many people like John who have a little power and want to use it to pick up girls.
Most young stars and models don’t mind being approached, and some even take pride in it.
Unfortunately, John was not careful enough. Seeing that Reba looked unfamiliar, he thought she was just a small-time unknown character, and ended up running into a tough match with Gu Wei.
In this world, people always judge things by the person they are. The same thing happening to different people will naturally have different results.
Gu Wei is currently LV's closest partner. The head office is still studying and developing in-depth cooperation in the customized series. Michael does not want anything to happen on LV's territory that makes him unhappy.
"Are you okay?" There were only two people left, and Gu Wei asked Reba with concern.
"It's okay. He tried to hit on me, and I clearly refused. But he seemed to think I was being pretentious."
Reba smiled bitterly and said, "If you want to blame someone, blame me because I'm not well-known here. The guy just now probably thought I was an unknown model who got into this high-end wine club to hook rich guys."
She has naturally encountered similar things in China, but in China, Reba is one of the top female stars born in the 1990s and is very popular.
As long as she clearly refuses, few people will bother her again.
“Why didn’t you come to see me when you got there?
I didn’t see you at the LV show today either.”
The venue for the big show in the Louvre in the afternoon was very large, and there were a lot of people present. After Gu Wei entered the door, many familiar faces came up to greet him and chat, and he didn't notice Reba in the crowd.
"I came early and my seat is a bit out of the way. There are too many celebrities and fashion icons around you, and the brilliance is too overwhelming for me to get past."
Gu Wei blinked, looked at Reba, and understood what she was thinking.
"As my companion, you can definitely share this light.
And I believe that with your hard work and beauty, you will sooner or later become the shining star in such occasions."
After hearing what Gu Wei said, Reba pursed her lips and nodded slightly, looking at him with stars twinkling in her eyes.
From the moment she first met Gu Wei, he was an unparalleled superstar in her eyes, and she had always been in a relatively low position, even a little humble.
Later, as the two of them got to know each other better, even though the relationship had some breakthroughs due to her efforts, the gap in their relationship did not change.
She was deeply moved by what Gu Wei said today. She felt that this was the greatest respect and recognition for her.
After the banquet, Gu Wei replied to Scarlett's invitation and stayed with Reba, who was a little excited.
That night, Reba was particularly active and clingy, unlocking several new poses.
The flexibility of the dancer is extraordinary, and he can perform many difficult moves with ease, which brings Gu Wei a different kind of enjoyment.
This year's Paris Fashion Week lasted for 9 days, but Gu Wei didn't need to stay that long.
He was invited by LV. Logically, his mission would be completed after watching the LV show, but as a global spokesperson, he needed to shoot some new photos and videos to be used as promotional materials.
“Scarlett, put your hand on Gu’s chest, very good.
Gu, put one of your hands around her waist, very good, so beautiful!"
In the studio, Gu Wei and Scarlett wore some new LV products and took various beautiful photos, some alone and some as a pair.
"Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together?"
During the break in filming, the two sat on the chairs next to the studio to rest.
"No problem~" Gu Wei thought about it for a moment and agreed.
Reba doesn’t have as much work as him. She came to watch the show and took some photos. She will return home this afternoon.
He and Scarlett haven't seen each other for a long time, and he still can't forget his last experience with Olsen.
"Why, you don't want to accompany your girlfriend anymore?" Scarlett looked at Gu Wei with a playful look.
"What girlfriend?"
"The girl next to you at the cocktail party, I heard Michael say she was your female companion."
“You mentioned Reba, she is an artist under my company and also a brand ambassador for LV.
As the boss here, of course I have to take care of her."
Scarlett's lips curled up. "It seems the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry are universal. As a boss, you've been taking good care of your beautiful female artists, haven't you?"
"Defamation, blatant slander. Even though we have a good relationship, you are slandering my innocent reputation like this. Be careful, I will sue you."
“Innocent? Do you think Elizabeth believes this kind of thing?
Oh, by the way, I remember you were Taylor's ex-boyfriend.
Gu, you are really charming!" As a pure bed partner, Scarlett didn't care about Gu Wei's feelings, but that didn't stop her from teasing him about it.
"This is really a rumor. Although Taylor and I have a good relationship, I am really not her ex-boyfriend." Gu Wei explained.
"I see. He's not an ex-boyfriend, but a 'good' friend!" Scarlett said with a light and heavy tone, obviously understanding what was going on.
Gu Wei was speechless and stopped explaining. It seemed that in Scarlett's eyes, he was just a complete playboy.
After a day's work, the two of them had a Michelin three-star French meal together in the evening.
Back at the hotel, Scarlett showed Gu Wei her extremely seductive figure and unique style as a Hollywood sexy goddess.
How should I put it, Gu Wei has met many big stars and beauties. Scarlett is not the best in terms of appearance, figure and skin, but she is definitely the best one.
Her perfect figure and appearance, coupled with her absolute charm, make her extremely seductive.
I can’t remember which scene it was, but Scarlett was completely relaxed, as if every bone in her body was falling apart.
He collapsed on the bed, feeling limp from head to toes, completely unable to use any strength.
"I heard from LV that they might choose a Chinese female celebrity as their global spokesperson next year."
After panting and regaining some strength, Scarlett turned over, pressed her round and beautiful legs on Gu Wei, and put her hands around his well-defined abdominal muscles.
"Aren't you renewing your contract?"
Gu Wei asked in surprise.
“No, although my value to LV is far less than yours, at least my fame is still there, and sales in the European and American markets have not declined in the past few years as a global spokesperson.
They just want to find another female celebrity with great influence in the Asia-Pacific market to work with you."
LV does not lack Chinese female celebrities as global spokespersons. The last and only one was the now-obsolete Fan Bingbing.
Bingbing has been in contact with LV since ten years ago, and has been promoted from a close friend of the brand to a global spokesperson. In the end, he has everything.
However, he didn't stay in this position for long because he lost all endorsements, including LV, due to tax reasons.
Gu Wei had worked with her before, but the opportunities were rare.
It now seems that LV is planning to promote someone to replace Fan Bingbing's position. After all, the Asia-Pacific market is getting bigger and bigger. Although Gu Wei is famous enough, he is a male star after all, and he cannot endorse some products.
"The Chinese market is growing, and LV's approach is understandable."
When this matter was mentioned, Gu Wei also remembered that it seemed that in the original time and space, Liu Yifei was parachuted into the position of spokesperson for the entire region after "Mulan", and other female stars who wanted to be promoted from brand ambassadors, single-line spokespersons, etc. failed to do so.
"I saw on the news a while ago that you were filming Black Widow?"
"Yes, we just finished filming before coming here."
"Congratulations, you can finally have a solo series of movies in Marvel~" After waiting for 11 years, the superhero Black Widow finally has her own solo movie.
"It's a bit of a consolation after all these years of making Marvel movies. Unlike other superheroes, there probably won't be a sequel to Black Widow.
Even if there is, it may have nothing to do with me." Scarlett said with emotion.
In 2009, she starred in "Iron Man 2", in which she played the beautiful and agile agent Natasha Romanoff.
Now, 11 years have passed, and she never imagined that the Black Widow she played would be so popular and even become the most memorable role in her acting career.
"Did you bring your costume?" Gu Wei's question ruined the atmosphere.
"What?" Scarlett didn't react.
"I mean, do you have the Black Widow costume from the new movie?"
Scarlett rolled her eyes at the chuckling Gu Wei.
“You’re a real dog.”
After finishing his work in Paris, Gu Wei flew back to Beijing.
Time quickly entered December. This period at the end of each year is always the busiest time for Gu Wei.
Because at the end of the year, various evening parties and award ceremonies are popular.
In terms of platforms, there are Tencent's Starlight Awards, iQiyi's Scream Night, and Sina's Weibo Night. In the fashion circle, there are GQ Person of the Year Ceremony, COSMO Ceremony, etc.
For some celebrities, this kind of evening party is a good channel for exposure. Basically, you will get a prize if you participate, and you can also use the ceremony to show your face and attract traffic.
However, for Gu Wei, he has already passed this stage, and now he participates in this kind of ceremony only for the sake of his partner's face.
For example, several major video platforms have always had a pleasant cooperation with [Wei Ming Tian Xia]. This year's [Sito] was exclusively broadcast by Tengxun, [Eastern Palace] was exclusively broadcast by Youku, and last year's [Ashes of Love] was broadcast on the entire network.
Currently, there are few production companies in the industry like Weiming Tianxia that cooperate with all platforms.
The current situation is that the platform is powerful, and most production companies choose one to have deep binding cooperation.
However, because Wei Ming Tian Xia has Gu Wei as its boss and has been producing hit dramas, it does not need to be tied to any platform, and its new dramas will still be sought after by all parties.
Just like "Joy of Life" which is currently in post-production, several platforms are actively communicating, but it is still unknown who will get the online broadcasting rights.
With this kind of cooperative relationship, Gu Wei, who receives a lot of copyright fees from the platform every year, must of course give face. He usually attends various year-end ceremonies as long as he has time.
Anyway, it's just a matter of going there and winning an award, so it's not a big deal.
On December 2, the crew of "Better Days" held a celebration banquet in Beijing.
This youth crime drama, Gu Wei's debut, grossed 2.386 billion yuan in just one month after its release.
The Douban score finally settled at a high score of 8.6, which is quite high among all the movies starred by Gu Wei.
"Mr. Gu, we've had a great time working together. I toast to you with this glass of wine!"
At the celebration banquet, director Zeng Guoxiang was in high spirits and raised his glass frequently to toast others.
He was really happy. The final box office of "Better Days" was 2.386 billion yuan, and the production company received about 1 billion yuan. He and producer Xu Yuezhen's company accounted for 60% of the investment share.
The investment cost of the film itself is only 120 million yuan. Even if the later publicity and promotion costs are added, the company behind Zeng Guoxiang can make a net profit of about 500 million yuan because of this movie.
500 million is just a small goal for Mr. Wang, the richest man in China. But even in the entertainment industry where there are many wealthy people, it is a huge sum of money that many people cannot earn in their entire lives.
Although he was not a poor man who suddenly became rich, but with so much money in his pocket and all kinds of honors, Zeng Guoxiang, a young director who was born into a star family, was extremely excited.
"I've already told my dad about the Academy Awards. Don't worry, Mr. Gu. Just leave everything to him. He will definitely give you a satisfactory result."
Knowing that Gu Wei was quite interested in the award, Zeng Guoxiang seriously helped him with this matter.
After this time, he tasted the sweetness of cooperating with Gu Wei and sincerely wanted to make friends with this God of Wealth.
"Thank you, Director Zeng."
"You're welcome, this is what I should do.
Whenever Mr. Gu has time to come to Hong Kong Island, I will definitely treat you with the highest standards. Tell me what type of Hong Kong Island female celebrity you like, and I guarantee you will never want to leave again."
"Director Zeng is drunk," Zeng Guoxiang said loudly. The key point was that they were not the only two at the dinner table. His sister Zhang Zifeng was sitting next to them.
Although Gu Wei was very tempted, he had to maintain his noble and upright image.
"Hahaha, I'm so happy I drank a few more cups. It's a bit too much. Please forgive me, Mr. Gu!"
Obviously Zeng Guoxiang also realized that something was wrong.
"Zifeng will be very busy this month, right?" Zhang Zifeng didn't say much at the table. She was actually a bit shy outside the play, and because of her young age, she didn't have much in common with others.
He sat silently beside Gu Wei and ate the whole time, and when everyone raised their glasses, he picked up his drink and took a sip with everyone else.
"I will be going to Macau in a few days to attend the 4th Macau International Film Festival. Producer Xu said that the chances of winning an award are very high~" Zhang Zifeng was nominated for Best Actress.
"Based on your performance in 'Better Days', there will definitely be no problem."
Gu Wei encouraged with a smile.
"Brother Wei, aren't you going? You're also nominated for Best Actor."
"I won't go. I'm quite busy recently. Wait for me to record a VCR of my acceptance speech. If I really win the award, please pick it up for me." Gu Wei looked down on the so-called Macau International Film Festival, and his schedule was really tight recently.
"Okay!" Zhang Zifeng smiled, and the eyes on his chubby little face turned into two crescent moons.
