On January 8, the epic love masterpiece "The Peace Wheel", which had been released for more than a month, was released and only achieved a box office of 195 million.

Big investment, big production, and the addition of top actors from China, Japan, and South Korea did not make this movie go further at the box office.

Facts have proved that if the movie is not well made, it will be useless no matter how famous the actors are.

The combination of Zhang Ziyi, Jin Chengwu, Huang Xiaoming, Song Huiqiao, and Nagasawa Masami still has no effect, and the audience just doesn't buy it.

Xiao Ming Ge never expected that the big productions of international directors could not compete with the small-budget romantic comedies starring himself in the box office.

"The Best Life for Coquettish Women" was also released a few days ago, with a box office of 230 million, slightly more than "Taiping Wheel".

But the cost of this love movie is less than one-fifth of "The Wheel".

Gu Wei now understands why those popular celebrities are so popular with capital from this year onwards, and why the two who returned from Korea are so favored by film and television companies.

Nowadays, there are many well-known actors in the film and television industry. Although they have great popularity and high national popularity, their box office appeal is unreal.

If you meet a director with a good script and a good script, the box office is likely to be a hit, but if the director or the script is too weak, the movie will be ugly.

But traffic stars are different. In 2015, traffic stars still had their own fan audiences.

No matter how bad the movie is, the fanatical fans alone can make hundreds of millions at the box office. As long as the cost of the movie is controlled, it is easy to make back the money.

If we can fool some passers-by into watching the movie, or if the quality of the movie is better, then it will be natural to achieve a high box office.

Before this, the best example was director Guo Xiaosi.

Although he is not a popular star, his movies are completely fan movies. No matter how bad the movie is, he can make a lot of money just by being a fan.

Of course, Gu Wei is not qualified to criticize others now, because he is also one of the celebrities who receive traffic benefits.

In 2014, two popular TV series made him attract countless fans, including some die-hard fans and avid fans.

One ancient puppet and one modern puppet also allow Gu Wei to attract audiences with different preferences in all aspects. Whether you like to watch costume dramas or modern dramas, there is always a Gu Wei that suits you.

As of now, at the beginning of 2015, it is no exaggeration to say that Gu Wei is the male star with the most fans among the younger generation of domestic entertainment.

Although Lu Han and Li Jiaheng are also very popular, they have just returned to China and their works have not been released yet.

Their fans are basically brought over from EXO, so they are quite limited. There are also many young people in China who don’t pay attention to Hallyu.

Sanxiaozhi has just started to gain momentum in the past two years, and its popularity is still gradually building up. It will only become a household name after appearing on the Spring Festival Gala.

The older generation of traffic stars, such as Zhang Han and Han Geng, have not had any good works online in the past two years, and their popularity has declined somewhat.

Especially Zhang Han, after breaking up with Zheng Shuang in June 2014, not only did his popularity plummet, but he was also chased and scolded by many fans of Shuangzi.

In October, he posted a photo of himself eating beef noodles on Weibo, and fans of Shuangzi commented below, "Zheng Shuang has become so thin, are you still in the mood to eat beef noodles?" Kind of insult.

Throughout 2014, Gu Wei was quite unique among the young actors in the domestic entertainment industry. His excellent works helped him gain both popularity and reputation.

It was precisely for this reason that Anle Film and Television was willing to spend a lot of money to hire Gu Wei to come to the rescue, just because he saw the traffic he had.

[Weiwei] The crew of the production has returned to Beijing one after another, and director Lin Yufen has begun to devote most of his work to the post-production of the TV series.

As a modern drama, this TV series is relatively simple to produce in the later stage. However, the scenes related to the game in the TV series are a little more troublesome to produce.

There are specialties in the industry, and the editing and post-production of TV series are naturally completed by the director and editor. Gu Wei only needs to wait for the finished film to be released.

Director Lin gave Gu Wei an estimated time, and the post-production of [Wei Wei] can be completed in about two months.

This speed is already very fast, thanks to the fact that "Wei Wei" is a modern drama and only has 30 episodes.

For example, Gu Wei's previous film "The Story of Ancient Swords" took more than a year from post-production to release.

In the evening, after leaving the company, Gu Wei took a bus to the Louis Vuitton store in a nearby shopping mall and bought a women's bag, and then picked up a bouquet of bright red roses from the flower shop on the street.

The car drove to the underground parking lot of a high-end community, and Gu Wei took the elevator upstairs alone.

He walked to the door of a familiar house and pressed the doorbell.

Soon, the door was opened.

Zeng Li was wearing light brown home clothes and a pair of pink slippers. His hair was combed into a refreshing bun. When he saw the guard at the door, a bright smile appeared on his beautiful face.

"Sister Li, I'm back.

This is a gift for you. "

Gu Wei said as he handed over the flowers and the bag containing the bags.

"Thank you~"

Zeng Li took the flowers and gifts without looking at them carefully. Obviously her happiness had nothing to do with the gifts, but entirely because of Gu Wei's arrival.

Putting the things aside, he bent down and helped Gu Wei take out slippers from the shoe cabinet.

Although the home clothes were a little loose, this action still showed the beautiful curves of the mature woman in front of Gu Wei.

After entering the door, Gu Wei took off his mask and hat, and hung his coat on the hanger nearby.

"Go wash your hands, I've prepared the food."

Zeng Li arranged the shoes in the entrance and spoke to Gu Wei.

After a while, they both sat down at the dining table in the restaurant.

There were four dishes and one soup on the table, two meat and two vegetarian dishes. Although he was a vegetarian, Zeng Li thoughtfully cooked two meat dishes because Gu Wei was coming.

Gu Wei was not polite, picked up the fragrant white rice, mixed the vegetables and started eating.

He was indeed a little hungry after a busy day.

The rice was rich in aroma, soft and delicate. Gu Wei picked up a piece of braised pork ribs. The texture was crispy and the meat was tender. He felt that Zeng Li's cooking skills had improved again.

"Hmm~ It's so delicious. Sister Li, your cooking skills are great.

Definitely the epitome of a good wife and mother. "

“If it’s delicious, eat more~”

Hearing Gu Wei's praise and seeing how delicious his meal was, Zeng Li was also very happy.

A big smile appeared on his face, and his beautiful big eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

She picked up the rice, took a bite of the fried shredded potatoes in front of her, and started eating.

Under the yellow light in the kitchen, the two people sat quietly on both sides of the small dining table to eat, and the atmosphere was particularly warm for a moment.

Zeng Li took two mouthfuls of food and looked up at Gu Wei, who was devouring his food. He felt a little dazed for a moment.

It is now 2015, and she still clearly remembers the scene in early 2013 when she went to audition for the film "Detective Chinatown" and met Gu Wei for the first time during the preparatory period.

When she met Gu Wei for the first time, she just thought that the director was so young and extremely handsome.

She graduated from the Chinese Opera Department of Acting. She thought she had seen many handsome guys during her years in the industry, but Gu Wei's looks were the best among the actors she knew.

Later, he unexpectedly received the news that he had been selected. Through gradual contact, he gradually learned more about Gu Wei's temperament and temperament.

But at that time, she only regarded Gu Wei as a handsome and gentle boy.

I would never have thought that when I was nearly 40 years old, I would have a relationship with this older boy who was almost a generation behind me, and this relationship has continued to this day.

She knew clearly in her heart that with the age difference between the two of them, there would be almost no future.

So after the filming of [Tang Detective] was completed, she never took the initiative to find Gu Wei.

I just hope that as time goes by, the relationship between the two people can slowly fade away and finally return to the distance of ordinary friends.

Unfortunately, Gu Wei came to see her from time to time, and she couldn't refuse him at all, so she could only treat him gently.

Fortunately, Gu Wei brought her beautiful things.

Youth, vitality, and enthusiasm made her, who had always been alone, feel happiness she had never experienced before.

Gu Wei also helped her a lot in her career.

After the movie "Tang Detective" was released, her acting career, which had not improved for more than ten years, also ushered in new development.

Originally, she could only play supporting roles in some film and television dramas. After the movie was released, many scripts for female protagonists came to her.

Looking at Gu Wei's young and handsome face in front of him, Zeng Li sighed secretly in his heart.

"Enemies~"

"Sister Li, what are you thinking about?"

After destroying a piece of ribs in the bowl, Gu Wei noticed that Zeng Li was looking at him in a daze.

"Ah~nothing~"

Zeng Li came back to his senses and hid his words.

"I'm thinking about a TV series coming to me, should I take it?"

"What TV show? Tell me about it."

Gu Wei asked curiously.

"A TV series called [Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou Don't Believe in Tears] co-directed by two directors, Li Jun and Li Xiao, asked me to play the female lead."

Zeng Li said.

There is indeed such a TV series looking for her. It will be launched after the New Year. She has already read the script and thinks it is pretty good.

"[Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou don't believe in tears]?"

Gu Wei said to himself.

He has some impressions of this drama. Although it is not a TV drama with huge ratings, its broadcast performance is considered to be above average among TV dramas in 15 years.

The original version seemed to be played by Ma Yili and Zhu Yawen. Now because of his butterfly effect, the heroine has found Zeng Li.

"I've heard people talk about this TV series. Sister Li, you can take part in it."

Gu Wei said.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Zeng Li agreed with a smile.

She didn't care much about whether to accept the TV series or not. Since Gu Wei said so, that's the next step.

After finishing the meal, Zeng Li sent Gu Wei to rest while he picked up the dishes.

Gu Wei was not polite, came to the living room, sat on the sofa, and scrolled through his phone in boredom.

There are two movies released on the market today, one is Wang Jiawei's "The Grandmaster" (3D), and the other is Lu Han's first movie after returning to China "Back to 20".

The reason why [The Grandmaster] is marked with 3D is because this movie was released in 2013, and two years later, a 3D remake was made and re-released.

It is impossible to achieve high box office, but with the brand of Wang Jiawei and "The Grandmaster", it can still make some money.

Although Gu Wei is not very fond of Wang Jiawei, he has to admire his filmmaking skills.

"The Grandmaster" took 10 years to produce. Although it deceived investors, the film also won numerous awards after its release.

A few years ago, Zhang Ziyi's reputation and personal image were almost completely destroyed because she was involved in the "Triple Gate" controversy. There was no room for her to survive in the Chinese film industry.

However, the release of "The Grandmaster" made her turn around and almost return to the top.

In this movie, she dedicated her impeccable acting skills and won 12 Best Actress Awards including the Golden Horse Award and the Academy Award.

Her experience also tells all actors in the entertainment industry that as long as you have real strength, you can turn over even if your house collapses, as long as you don't break the law.

[Back to 20] has been playing the Luhan card from the promotion to the release, but in fact the real protagonist of this movie is Yang Zishan. Just look at the name and you will know that this movie is about the heroine played by Yang Zishan. , a story about an old lady who returns to being a 20-year-old girl.

Lu Han can only be regarded as the second male lead in the movie, but he is the most popular right now, and it is understandable that the producers use his name for promotion.

The world is fair. If the movie is promoted under the banner of Lu Han, if it is a box office hit in the end, then everyone will naturally attribute the credit to him.

After a while, Zeng Li finished cleaning up in the kitchen and came over to sit next to Gu Wei.

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at what movies are coming out recently."

After saying that, he put down the phone and hugged Zeng Li in his arms.

The beautiful woman smells delicious and feels so soft in my arms.

"Don't make trouble~"

Zeng Li's face was a little red and he struggled slightly in embarrassment.

"I'm not making trouble, I just want to get closer to Sister Li."

Gu Wei said in her ear.

Zeng Li's ears turned red at this time.

Gu Wei didn't take any further and just held Zeng Li quietly.

Zeng Li didn't move, and the two of them quietly enjoyed the warmth of the moment.

"Sister Li, do you blame me?"

After a while, Gu Wei suddenly asked.

"Why do you ask?"

Zeng Li was a little strange.

"We had very few opportunities to meet each other throughout last year. We usually only sent WeChat messages or made phone calls. I thought you would be unhappy."

Zeng Li, who was in Gu Wei's arms, turned around to face him.

Looking into Gu Wei's clear eyes, she reached out and slowly touched his young and handsome cheek.

"Fool, how could I blame you? I have been in the industry for almost 20 years. Of course I know how busy and popular you were last year.

This is how our industry is. Once you join a crew for filming, you won't be able to see anyone for several months. If you can think of me occasionally, I'll be very happy. "

"When we finish the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal tomorrow, I will join the team again. A movie I promised before has been waiting for me.

Originally, I wanted to stay with you for a while when I returned to Beijing this time. "

Gu Wei said in a low voice.

"You are still young and your career is important. Sister Li is right here. Whenever you have time, come and see me. I will always be here."

Gu Wei looked at Zeng Li's beautiful face. It was a beautiful face in Tsing Yi. It was truly majestic and beautiful. Even the years could not diminish its beauty, but could only add a mature charm to it.

He just felt how lucky he was to be favored by such a beautiful woman in this life.

In the almost two years since he had a relationship with Zeng Li, Zeng Li had never made any material demands from him.

Even though the two didn't see each other for a long time due to work, they never expressed any dissatisfaction to him.

Every time we meet, she talks softly, wrapping him as gently as water. She never asks for anything, but meets all his requirements.

Thinking of this, Gu Wei stood up and hugged Zeng Liheng.

"Ah, what are you doing?"

Zeng Li was caught off guard by Gu Wei's sudden movement and wrapped his arms around his neck.

"Sister Li, I miss you~"

Gu Wei looked into her eyes and said softly, then hugged Zeng Li and walked towards the bedroom.
