Chapter 482 Bai Qian, Where is your Ye Hua?
The press conference for Eternal Love ended and the actors dispersed.
The leading actors, including Gu Wei, basically took leave from their respective crews to attend the press conference. The crews of Yang Mi and Reba are both in Shanghai, which is relatively convenient.
"Will you stay in Shanghai tonight?
I've taken a whole day off and will be back on set tomorrow."
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Reba moved closer to Gu Wei and whispered.
Because she was going to dance on stage, she wore a fitted pink mini-dress today, which highlighted her slender and soft waist and her long, white legs.
Her black and shiny hair falls to her shoulders, and her face with makeup is extremely beautiful.
"I have a flight tonight, so I have to go back to Beijing first."
Gu Wei said with great regret.
After he said that, Reba's little face wrinkled and her mood was visibly depressed.
"How's filming going on with your current drama?"
Gu Wei changed the subject.
"Fortunately, the progress is quite fast. According to the shooting plan, it will be wrapped around mid-February."
"Is that so? Then you can't go home for the New Year?"
Gu Wei knew that Reba's hometown was in the border area, very far away, and it was not easy to go back.
Film crews generally don't have holidays when filming. As long as the filming starts, the funds will continue to burn through, so even during the Chinese New Year, everyone will only be given one day off at most. Some crews will even only give everyone half a day off on Chinese New Year's Day.
"It doesn't matter. I haven't been home for the Chinese New Year in the past two years. I have no choice because of work."
Reba shrugged, indicating that she didn't care.
Gu Wei didn’t think that Reba really didn’t care. As a man, he would sometimes miss his parents at home, let alone a girl like Reba who had left home thousands of miles to work hard.
It’s not that I don’t miss home, it’s just that I have no choice.
"Have you ever thought about bringing your parents over to spend the New Year with you in Shanghai?"
"Is this okay?"
After hearing what Gu Wei said, Reba's eyes lit up.
She had never thought about this before because she had no place to stay. She either lived in a house arranged by the company or in a hotel, which made it inconvenient for her parents to come over.
Now that the crew is in Shanghai, she happens to have a place to live.
Gu Wei smiled.
"What's wrong with it? The house at [Sunac Riverside Courtyard No. 1] is big enough, and it's very convenient for my uncle and aunt to come and live here.
The crew you're filming is not too far away, so even if it's not Chinese New Year, you can go home and meet them on weekdays."
I was very moved by what Gu Wei said about Reba.
“But how am I supposed to explain the house to them?”
According to Reba's current income, the 400-square-meter river-view apartment in [Rongke Riverside No. 1 Courtyard] has a current market price of nearly 80 million yuan, which she cannot afford no matter what.
“You can say it’s a property under the company’s name and it’s given to you to live in temporarily.
Or just say you rented it, and wait until our TV series airs this year and you become more famous, then tell them you bought it.
You can also say the same about the property in Beijing. The main thing is to reassure them."
Gu Wei gave Reba some advice.
“Let me talk to my family.”
Gu Wei's words shifted Reba's attention to the New Year, and her originally depressed mood completely dissipated.
Originally, she didn't have the conditions and was too lazy to make the effort, but now that conditions permit, she naturally hopes to be reunited with her parents during the Chinese New Year.
"What are you talking about?"
Yang Mi talked to Director Lin Yufen for a while, and saw Gu Wei and Reba walking over here.
"I talked to Reba about going home for the New Year. She was filming and couldn't go back, so I suggested she bring her parents over."
Gu Wei shrugged and said.
Yang Mi looked at Gu Wei and then at Reba.
"I remember that you, Reba, have been busy with work these past two years and haven't been home for a long time. What Gu Wei said makes sense. It would be a good idea to bring your parents over. It would be a happy family to be together during the New Year."
Reba nodded.
"I know, Sister Mi, I've been thinking about this too. I'll discuss it with my family later."
After talking to Reba, Yang Mi turned to Gu Wei.
"Boss Gu, would you like to have dinner together later?"
"I'm on a flight soon, so I'm afraid we won't have enough time. We still have to record Ace together next week, so we can get together then."
"So urgent?"
Yang Mi frowned.
“No way, the schedule is tight.
After taking a leave from the crew and attending our press conference, I have to go back to Beijing to participate in the second rehearsal of this year's Spring Festival Gala."
“Are you going to be on the Spring Festival Gala again this year?
I think you've been attending for two years straight?"
Yang Mi asked in surprise.
"Sister Mi, didn't you read the news online? CCTV has already announced the program list for this year's Spring Festival Gala.
I was actually a little tired, but the CCTV director team called me several times to invite me, and I really couldn't refuse.
After this year is over, I will take a two-year break.”
Due to his extremely high popularity in the past two years and his wonderful performance on the Spring Festival Gala, after Teacher Zhao retired, Gu Wei became a new ratings guarantee for the Spring Festival Gala by singing a high-quality original song every year.
For two consecutive years, Gu Wei's solo singing programs became the peak of the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala that year, and his "Chi Ling" and "Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth" were full of positive energy, which was very suitable for a large-scale evening party like the Spring Festival Gala for the national audience.
So at the beginning of the preparations for this year's Spring Festival Gala, the director team began to invite Gu Wei. Although Gu Wei did not intend to agree at first, he finally could not resist the CCTV director team's intercession, and even Han Sanping called Gu Wei, so he had no choice but to accept the invitation.
However, it turned out that the director team's efforts were not in vain. After agreeing, Gu Wei quickly came up with a song that amazed the entire Spring Festival Gala director team.
Although it was only rehearsed once, everyone who heard it believed that this song was undoubtedly the most popular song and dance program this year.
"Tsk tsk~ It's as hard as climbing to the sky for others to get on the Spring Festival Gala, but for you, it's become a burden. If other celebrities hear you say this, they'll definitely think you're showing off!"
Gu Wei smiled bitterly.
"Sister Mi, you know me well. I'm not bragging. With my current fame and status, performing on the Spring Festival Gala really doesn't do me any good. Instead, it's just one more thing I need to prepare for.
Moreover, for the past two years, the audience and fans have had too high expectations of me. If I don't perform well, I will easily receive bad reviews, which will be a thankless task.
I can now fully understand Mr. Zhao’s feelings during those years.”
After listening to Gu Wei's words, Yang Mi thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth.
In 2015, Gu Wei performed on the Spring Festival Gala for the first time. This national stage could help him, but two years later, the situation has reversed. The Spring Festival Gala needs Gu Wei's fame and traffic to help increase the ratings.
Thinking of this, she raised the corner of her mouth and patted Gu Wei's shoulder.
"Come on, I'll be cheering you on in front of the TV and looking forward to your wonderful performance!"
Just as Gu Wei said, he flew back to Beijing from Shanghai that night. After a night's rest, he went to CCTV the next day to participate in the second rehearsal of the year, and then flew back to Shudu.
During my free time, I went to the company to deal with some accumulated work.
The day after the press conference of [Eternal Love] ended, major media reported on it.
There are not only various photos of the press conference on the Internet, but also video recording of the entire process.
The long-awaited costume, romance, and fantasy drama has finally announced its broadcast time. Fans are counting the time on their fingers, eagerly waiting for the TV series to be released.
That evening, Yang Mi uploaded photos of a dinner with several other actors from "Eternal Love" on his personal Weibo account.
There are several people including Reba, Zhang Binbin, Wang Yao, Huang Mengying, etc. Others also liked and forwarded Yang Mi's Weibo.
[It's been so hard. I've been waiting for Eternal Love since the project was launched. Now the flowers are finally blooming and the moon is shining. It's only 20 days away from being released. I'm so happy!]
I'm really looking forward to Gu Wei's new drama. God knows how I managed to get through 2016. Gu Wei didn't appear in any TV series that year, so I could only binge-watch old dramas like "Gu Jian Qi Tan", "Nirvana in Fire" and "Love O2O" to satisfy my cravings.
The entire press conference was hilarious, especially the interview with Gu Wei and Yang Mi. Yang Mi asked, "Have I gotten prettier?" and Gu Wei replied, "I'm sorry, really not." It was hilarious. It was obvious they had a really close relationship and joked around without restraint. I'm starting to ship the new "Bai Ye CP"!
[Although Gu Wei’s movies this year are also very good, I still prefer watching his TV series.
The movie only lasts two hours at most, but I can see Gu Wei on the small screen for a month in a row in the TV series.
So I hope Gu Wei will film more TV series in the future, even if it’s just a treat for his fans!
[I agree with the above comments. Although I feel that filming is more high-end, the screen time is too short. I beg Gu Wei to do more TV series in the future!]
[Speaking of which, after the press conference, why didn't Gu Wei join us for the dinner? Bai Qian, where's your Ye Hua?]
【.】
Yang Mi, who has returned to the crew to film, was browsing her phone during a break and saw the comments from netizens on her Weibo about the party photos she posted. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
I liked the post "Bai Qian, where's your Ye Hua?" and replied, "Ye Hua is busy with work, see you next time~"
As soon as she replied, dozens or even hundreds of replies quickly appeared under this comment.
"Catch a big Mimi alive!"
"Oh my god, is that Mimi herself?"
“Maybe a studio.”
"Mi Mi is so beautiful, the most beautiful woman in the world!"
“.”
Yang Mi didn't read the other replies, turned off his phone, picked up the water cup on the table in front of him and took a sip.
Huang Zitao, who had just finished a filming, walked over and sat opposite Yang Mi. He was wearing a light blue wool sweater and had his signature yellow hair. He looked like a rebellious nobleman, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his temperament dropped from that of a nobleman to that of a gangster.
"Sister Mi, the drama you and Brother Wei are working on called Three Lives, Three Worlds is going to be online soon, it's so popular right now!
We are all in Shanghai. Why didn’t you invite me to the party yesterday? I haven’t been with Brother Wei for a long time.
Huang Zitao and Yang Mi met last year when they appeared on Mango TV's "Real Men 2". The two were also friends. Later, Huang Zitao was asked to play the male lead in "Negotiator", a joint production of [Jaywalk Media], [Juxin Culture] and [LeTV Video].
This guy is very outgoing and would chat with Yang Mi whenever he had nothing to do, and he would talk a lot.
Yang Mi rolled his eyes at him.
"We're having a dinner party with the cast of Three Lives, Three Worlds. It's not convenient to invite you. Besides, Gu Wei didn't attend. He flew to Beijing right after the press conference."
“What a pity~
I attended the [Tengxun Video Starlight Awards] some time ago, and after it ended I wanted to have dinner with Brother Wei.
Later, Lu Han stopped me and said that Brother Wei had another appointment that day, so I didn't say anything.
I'll look for him next time I return to the capital."
"Oh? Tell me what happened then?"
Yang Mi looked curious.
She was busy with other work and didn't go to the Starlight Awards. She read the news online and found out that Gu Wei won the "VIP Star of the Year" award that night, but she didn't pay attention to anything else.
Huang Zitao's eyes rolled, and he lowered his head slightly to gossip in a low voice.
"I was sitting quite far away, and Lu Han was sitting in the same row next to Wei Ge, at the same table with Zhao Liying.
According to him, Wei Ge and Zhao Liying were chatting enthusiastically throughout the entire [Starlight Awards] ceremony, and when it was almost over, it seemed that Zhao Liying invited Wei Ge to have dinner together.
He had the same idea as me, but after hearing it, he kept silent."
"Zhao Liying."
Yang Mi frowned slightly and muttered to himself.
She knew that Gu Wei and Zhao Liying should have a good relationship. The first drama they worked together, "Come On, My Love", was also one of the hit dramas of that year.
It seems that Gu Wei joined the crew of "Come On, My Love" after finishing "Gu Jian Qi Tan". These two dramas are also the enlightenment TV dramas of ancient idol dramas and modern idol dramas after Gu Wei entered the circle.
Yang Mi has been very popular in recent years. With her own efforts and the help of Gu Wei, she can be said to be the top among the 85 flowers in terms of popularity and traffic. Liu Yifei, who was more popular than her before, and Shishi and Tangtang, who were comparable to her, may now be inferior to her.
However, Zhao Liying, who has emerged as a rising star in recent years, has made her wary.
This female star, who does not have outstanding looks and is not a professional actor, has risen too fast in the past two years.
With the support of one hit drama after another, his popularity and traffic are now no less than his own.
Moreover, the other party is also good friends with Gu Wei. He has the soon-to-be-aired "Eternal Love", and the other party also has the female-led production "Princess Agents" produced by Gu Wei's company.
There are only a few female celebrities who can stand at the top. Even if the two of them don’t become enemies, they will definitely not become friends.
This is the same as the earlier discord between the two ice skaters, the fight between Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei, and the discord between Yang Zi and Reba, the only two top-tier stars born in the 1990s.
When you reach a certain position, even if you don't want to make enemies, others will compare you with people of the same class, and your fans will automatically be hostile to other stars.
Unless one reaches the level of Gu Wei, the gap between him and other male stars of the same age is too big. Even the other party's fans will not compare their own brothers with Gu Wei, because there is no comparability at all.
Without competition, everyone will naturally become harmonious again.
"Mijie, you said Brother Wei and Zhao Liying and the others..."
Huang Zitao made faces and his meaning was very clear.
"Don't gossip, they are old friends. A few years ago, they worked together on the idol drama "My Sunshine"."
"Oh! I remember this drama. It's also very popular in Korea, but I haven't watched it yet. I'll check it out when I have time."
Please give me a monthly ticket!
