Huayu is free to do as you like

Since the summer season this year, although the film market has been a little quiet, there are many dramas that have performed well, whether on satellite TV or online platforms.

Youku broadcasts "The Longest Day in Chang'an", Tengxun Video's "The King's Avatar", and iQiyi's "Youngsters of the Song Dynasty", each has its own advantages, some are strong in word of mouth, some have good online broadcast data, and some have high discussion volume.

Satellite TV broadcasts "Little Joy", as the second part of "Little Farewell" directed by Huang Lei, and the results are also very good. Sha Yi contributed the famous scene of "Yingzi, I am Daddy" in it.

Of course, at present, the most popular TV series in the summer season is definitely "The Untamed".

Although it is just a simple online drama, its performance has soared after one week of broadcasting, which is quite like "I just want to be popular all the time, and no one can stop me".

On Weibo, "The Untamed" has been appearing in the hot search list in various ways.

The frequency of Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi appearing on the hot search list has become commonplace.

Moreover, as the TV series became popular, the number of fans of the two grew rapidly, and their popularity soared. They became really famous.

"Boss, Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi became popular too quickly. Recently, the company received many calls from manufacturers, hoping to find them as spokespersons, and many crews offered them roles."

In the office, Yang Liwen reported to Gu Wei about her work and talked about the two new stars with a happy face.

"Haha, what did I say at the beginning? "The Untamed" is a very popular drama, and they will become popular sooner or later.

But the more it is now, the more stable it is.

Endorsements can be postponed. The popularity of the two can be improved to a certain extent as the TV series is broadcast in the later period.

Screen the scripts carefully, and you can play a few idol dramas first to stabilize your popularity."

"Understood."

After finishing his work in the company during the day, Gu Wei came out of the building of "Wei Ming Tian Xia" early in the afternoon.

Before the end of get off work, the roads in Beijing were not too congested.

Around 5 o'clock, a black Bentley drove into a high-end villa area.

Gu Wei got out of the car, walked to the door of a villa and rang the doorbell.

"Come in quickly, it's hot outside" Not long after, the door opened, and Ni Ni, wearing a light gray home clothes, stood inside.

She was slender, with a light yellow apron in front, her hair tied up, and no makeup on her fair face, dressed like a little housewife.

"For you~" Gu Wei came in to change his shoes and handed over the gift box in his hand.

"What is it?"

"You will know when you open it"

Ni Ni curiously opened the box packaged by Bulgari, and inside was a platinum ruby ​​necklace, with an exquisite necklace and sparkling rubies.

"Wow, so beautiful!"

"This is Bulgari's new model this year, try it on and see if it fits?"

Ni Ni took it in her hand and looked happy: "Thank you~"

"As long as you like it"

The things are not too expensive, the market price is only a few hundred thousand, Gu Wei's private collection room has a lot of such jewelry, and there will be many new products added every year.

Female friends who have a good relationship with him will receive similar gifts during festivals and holidays, and they will never be the same again.

After returning from Tokyo, Gu Wei has been in the Beijing company for almost a month because of his post-production work for [Detective Chinatown 3].

Today, Ni Ni sent him a message, saying that she would return to her home in Beijing to rest after work and wanted to invite him to come for dinner.

Gu Wei agreed without thinking and picked a gift to bring with him before coming.

"Oh! I'm still cooking in the kitchen, I almost forgot!" Ni Ni took the gem necklace in her hand and admired it happily, and suddenly thought of something and slapped her forehead.

"You sit down first, we can have dinner after I finish it." She said hurriedly, not caring about much, put the gift from Gu Wei aside, turned around and trotted to the kitchen.

Gu Wei smiled and shook his head, and walked to the living room.

Sitting down on the light blue fabric sofa, he picked up the white Scottish Fold cat lying next to him and began to stroke the cat very naturally.

"Little cutie, do you still remember me?"

"Look~" The little white cat raised his head slightly, his eyes were a little confused, without any resistance, he lay on Gu Wei's legs and enjoyed it.

After a while, Ni Ni finished cooking, and the two sat at the table in the restaurant.

"It's so rich!" Gu Wei sat down and praised the food on the table.

Ni Ni is one of the few female stars he knows who cooks well.

Although she doesn't cook often, she prefers to cook by herself. When she is free, she likes to study. If she succeeds, she will post it on WeChat Moments to show off.

She is cheerful and generous in character, not clingy, and very measured in words and deeds.

In fact, she is a very suitable person to be a girlfriend.

"Hehe, I specially prepared the fish you like to eat. Come and try it to see if it suits your taste?"

Ni Ni sat opposite Gu Wei, looking at him with a smile on her face, and recommended the braised fish in the middle.

Gu Wei picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.

"The meat is tender and the saltiness is just right.

Miao, you can be a chef even if you don't want to be an actor.

When you open a restaurant, it will definitely be a Michelin three-star restaurant!"

Gu Wei praised while eating, and took another piece after a bite.

"It's not as exaggerated as you say!" Ni Ni was modest, but her face was full of joy.

She was definitely happier to receive the food she cooked than to receive a gift.

"What would you like to drink?"

"Do you have beer at home?

The weather is too hot, drink some beer to cool down."

"Yes, in the refrigerator!" Ni Ni said, and got up to get a few bottles of beer, opened the lids and poured them for the two.

"Cheers, thank you for the hospitality, Mr. Miao!"

"Cheers!"

The cold beer was poured into the cup, bubbles kept coming out from the bottom, and a layer of white foam was on top.

Drinking some cold beer in the summer with delicious food feels great.

"I remember your new drama is on the air, how do you have time to go back to Beijing to rest?" Putting down the glass, Gu Wei picked up a piece of stir-fried lamb with green onions and asked casually.

Ni Ni also picked up chopsticks to eat: "There is a new drama being broadcast, but it is far from being a hit."

"In the early stage, we cooperated with the platform and satellite TV to promote it for a while, but unfortunately the performance of the TV series was not very good after it was launched, and the male lead was not very active in the promotion."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but frowned and looked up at Gu Wei: "Do you think I am not suitable for acting in TV series?"

"Why do you have such an idea?"

"I have been filming movies since I entered the industry, and I have only filmed two TV series.

One is [The Rise of Phoenixes] broadcast last year. Everyone knows the results. Mango TV lost a lot of money and the reputation is not good.

The other is [Love and Destiny] which is being broadcast now. The ratings can only be considered average, and it has received various negative reviews since it was launched.

They said that I am not good-looking, my acting skills are not good, and I don’t have a CP feeling with Zhang Zhen.

It made me doubt whether I am really not suitable for ancient costumes."

Ni Ni's complaints also reminded Gu Wei of the [Love and Destiny] she filmed.

The full name should be [Eternal Love of Dream]. This drama is produced by Huace and directed by Lin Yufen, an old friend of Gu Wei.

The leading actors Ni Ni and Zhang Zhen are both movie stars. During the promotion, they also used the gimmick that Zhang Zhen first came to earth to shoot a TV series.

Originally, it should have been a hit drama with all the advantages.

But unfortunately, although Zhang Zhen has good acting skills, it is really not suitable for him to play ancient idols with his appearance. He is uglier than Zhao Youting in the original time and space.

Ni Ni is a charming and charming person in many dramas. Her appearance is very good, but it is not shown at all in this ancient idol fairy drama.

Both protagonists play up their shortcomings and avoid their strengths. It is no wonder that the audience ridicules their appearance.

After all, ancient idol dramas are a kind of idol dramas. Most of the audiences are young people. When watching the drama, everyone will first look at the appearance of the male and female protagonists.

Whether the male is handsome and the female is beautiful is very important.

Then comes the plot, acting skills, etc.

"Our CEO Miao is definitely a great beauty. Maybe she doesn't look as stunning in ancient costumes as in modern ones. This is the stylist's fault.

Zhang Zhen is indeed not suitable for ancient idol dramas. You two don't seem to have a strong sense of couple.

But the plot of [Love and Destiny] is still good. With the long tail effect, this drama should be much better than [The Rise of Phoenixes]"

Gu Wei's comfort didn't have much effect. Ni Ni was a little depressed.

"I only started acting in TV series in the past two years. Who would have thought that the start would be so bad, and the two dramas in a row were not very good."

"Don't worry, you have been acting for so many years and you should know that the success of a drama depends only on the performance of the actors.

You just didn't get the right role."

"Anyway, I will probably not try costume dramas again in the future. The company is preparing an urban modern drama. If it doesn't work out, I will stop filming TV series and concentrate on making movies!"

"Urban drama" Gu Wei thought for a while, "Yi Shu's "Golden Years"?"

"Yes, yes, the project has just been established, and I heard that the investment has not been completed. Are you so well-informed?" Ni Ni was a little surprised.

Gu Wei smiled: "My company has been acquiring the copyrights of some popular novels for a long time, preparing for film and television adaptations. Yi Shu is such a famous writer, of course, we have also thought about buying her works.

But when we found her, many of her works had been sold, including "Golden Years" in the hands of your director Shen, and the very popular "My First Half of Life" a few years ago."

Ni Ni's eyes turned and she showed a charming smile.

"You know so much, are you interested in playing a role?"

"What can I play? Xie Hongzu or Wang Yongzheng. I am not old enough to play Ye Jinyan. Yang Ke is a bit interesting, but my image does not fit the role."

Gu Wei shook his head.

"Yi Shu's novels are basically all about heroines, which is not suitable for me.

If the crew is short of money, I can be an investor."

Ni Ni also knew that with Gu Wei's current status, he would not be suitable for any role in "Golden Years".

"I will ask Director Shen later to see if he wants to take the investment from "Wei Ming Tian Xia""

A big IP drama like "Golden Years" will definitely not lack investment, it's just a matter of which company to cooperate with and whose money to take.

After dinner, Gu Wei and Ni Ni cleaned up the dishes together, and then watched TV on the sofa.

"I'm going to take a shower~" Ni Ni, who changed into a light pink pajamas, sat up from the sofa and put on slippers.

"What for?" Before she could leave, she was pulled back into Gu Wei's arms.

"I think I need to take a shower too, why not do it together."

"Then I'll go turn on the water."

The two of them took a long shower, and when they came out of the bathroom, Ni Ni was already limp.

Gu Wei carefully dried her and carried her to the bedroom to rest.
