Chapter 223 The Light of Chinese Comics
On the 28th floor of Palm Springs International Apartments, in the large flat that Gu Wei bought for Nazha.
Nazha was wearing a small yellow camisole top and light brown shorts. Her face was washed and without any makeup. Her hair was tied up high. She was sitting cross-legged on the sofa with a lollipop in her mouth, watching TV.
A pair of arms and white and tender thighs were all exposed. This welfare scene could only be seen by Gu Wei, who was also sitting on the other side of the sofa.
Unfortunately, he was concentrating on playing with his mobile phone and didn't notice the scene that could make countless men drool.
Gu Wei was not wearing much, just a thin blue pajamas.
Although February is the coldest time of the year, thanks to the winter heating in the north, the house is quite warm at this time, almost the same temperature as in summer.
Nazha watched TV for a while and found it boring, so she turned around and looked at Gu Wei.
She stretched out her legs, and her two cute white feet fell into his arms.
The legs are just like what is described in the movie, "white, long and thin".
Gu Wei, who was typing on his phone, was interrupted and his attention turned to Nazha.
He pressed her white and tender feet that were about to do something naughty and said:
"Stop messing around, I'm sending WeChat messages to others."
Nazha took out the lollipop from her mouth and asked coquettishly:
"Who are you sending WeChat messages to so late at night?"
Gu Wei had no scruples and his hand was still on the phone.
"Liu Yifei"
After hearing this, Nazha quickly crawled to Gu Wei and stuck to him from behind.
Looking at Gu Wei's phone screen, he asked tentatively:
"Are you two on good terms?"
"I met him when I was filming my first movie, Sword of Assassination. It's been almost three years now, and we're pretty good friends."
Gu Wei answered casually.
"So, do you have a crush on her?"
After hearing this, Gu Wei turned his head and looked at Nazha who was standing close to him. Her face was full of collagen and her expression was silly and very cute.
He couldn't help but kissed Nazha on the cheek and said:
"What are you thinking, we are just good friends.
She is Liu Yifei. She was already famous all over the country when we were just kids.
The animated film I invested in was released, and they helped me a lot with the promotion.
I must thank her.”
"Isn't it just reposting your Weibo? I reposted it too, and everyone else in the company helped too."
"Haha, you only have a few followers on Weibo, and the combined influence of your company's artists can't compare to Liu Yifei."
After saying this, seeing Nazha pout a little, Gu Wei comforted her:
"However, when the movie we filmed together, Love O2O, comes out, you'll also become famous. Then I'll help you become a star!"
"Hmm~"
Nazha smiled a little foolishly.
"Then how should I repay my boss?"
Gu Wei, who had finished chatting on WeChat, put down his phone, reached out and held Nazha in his arms, and whispered in her ear:
"It depends on your performance"
It's another gentle night.
Ever since she listened to Gu Wei and left Tangren, Nazha felt that her world suddenly became brighter. She opened her own studio, was given a 300-square-meter luxury house in the city center, and played the leading role in Gu Wei's TV series. Once the TV series is broadcast, her career will surely reach new heights.
But she knew clearly that everything she had was given by Gu Wei, and he was her real support.
Before, I could only live without him emotionally, but now I can’t live without him in both life and work.
I feel like a canary kept in a pure gold cage, with no worries about food and clothing, and I don’t have to worry about anything. All I want is to be beautiful.
However, Nazha likes her current life very much. She doesn’t ask for much and her thoughts are simple. The entertainment industry is very complicated, but Gu Wei can protect her from the wind and rain.
She just wanted a simple job and life. As for her relationship with Gu Wei, they had been through so much, and she was very open-minded about it. As long as she stayed by his side, nothing else mattered.
On the morning of February 14, Gu Wei was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone while he was still asleep.
"Hello? Yeah, I got it. I'll be at the office in a bit. Great job!"
After a few words, Gu Wei hung up the phone.
"What's wrong?"
Nazha, who was lying on the side, was also awakened by the noise. She opened her sleepy eyes and asked Gu Wei who had sat up beside her.
"[The Monkey King: Hero is Back] was a huge hit at the box office on its first day. I have to go to the office soon as I have a lot of things to deal with today.
If you have nothing to do, you can wait for me at home. I will come back to spend Valentine's Day with you in the evening!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you~"
Nazha agreed obediently like an obedient kitten.
[Weiwei] After finishing the filming of the TV series and returning to Beijing, Nazha's workload was intentionally reduced, mainly because the Chinese New Year is approaching and Nazha will have to return to her hometown in the border area in a few days.
Gu Wei would not exploit her like a sugar man, and specifically instructed the company to assign less work to Nazha.
As for making money, there is no need to rush. Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. After "Love O2O" is released, Nazha will become more famous and her income will naturally be higher.
After getting up from the bed, putting on his clothes, he bent down to kiss Nazha's smooth forehead, packed up briefly, and went out.
In the company's office, Gu Wei was very happy when he saw the detailed box office data of the first day of "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" brought by his assistant.
On the first day of the film's release, it accounted for 31% of the national screenings and took in 88.65 million yuan at the box office, accounting for 62% of the total national box office for that day.
It set a single-day box office record for domestic animated films.
Driven by this movie, the national single-day box office exceeded 100 million yuan that day, and other movies still in theaters also attracted some audiences.
From a national perspective, the box office revenues of the four major ticket-taking cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, as well as some other first-tier cities, account for the vast majority of the total box office revenue.
The attendance rate during prime time of the movie is extremely high. Today is the second day of its release. The theaters have urgently increased the screening rate of "The Monkey King: Hero is Back". It is estimated that today's national screening share will reach 45%.
I went online and read some media reports.
[The first-day box office exceeded 80 million, a milestone in the rise of domestic animated films! ]

The Internet can be said to be a sea of flowers, and the media are praising "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" for free.
There were also countless viewers who watched the movie on the first day and turned into tap water, cheering for this excellent domestic animated film on the Internet.
[This is the light of Chinese animation. It really is the light of Chinese animation. I just hope that all domestic animated films in the future will use this as a standard. Roll it up! ]
【I felt so proud after watching it. We finally have an animated film we can watch! 】
[People who work hard should be rewarded, especially if they do a really good job.]
A conscientious domestic animated film. First, the Journey to the West story is reimagined and unconventional. Second, the visuals are exquisite and the special effects are good. Finally, the soundtrack is also excellent, and it brought tears to my eyes!!
【.】
Comments from netizens like these have flooded the internet, especially Douban, where, scrolling from top to bottom, you'll see nothing but positive reviews.
After a while, Gu Wei received a call from Wang Changtian.
"Mr. Gu, congratulations! 'The Monkey King: Hero is Back' is a huge hit at the box office!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Wang is also an investor. We can all make money together. It's also thanks to Mr. Wang's successful promotion and marketing that the movie's first-day box office was so impressive!"
"Haha~ There's only so much I can do. The quality of the movie itself is solid. With all the online acclaim, the subsequent box office is also stable."
"Mr. Wang, we can't let our guard down. We've got a good start now, and we should strive to create a small wave of viewing enthusiasm in the first week of the film's release.
After all, next Thursday, the first day of the Lunar New Year, there will be several highly anticipated blockbusters released, which will be quite a competition for us.”
"I understand. Mr. Gu is really thoughtful. Over the past few days, I've had people release some behind-the-scenes news about the film's production, and have Director Tian give more interviews to stir up some buzz!
Director Tian Xiaopeng has become an instant hit now!"
"Director Tian has talent, perseverance, and determination. It's only natural for someone like him to succeed."
Gu Wei said.
The two chatted some more about movies, and then Wang Changtian hung up the phone.
After thinking about it, he called his secretary in and assigned her some work.
Wang Changtian was sitting in the office, tapping the table lightly with the pen in his hand, as if thinking about something.
"Looking at the situation, [The Return of the Great Sage] is going to be successful again. Gu Wei has once again made a good prediction.
Befriending him was the right move. I need to pay more attention to Gu Wei's actions in the future and cooperate with him as much as possible for mutual benefit."
