Huayu is free to do as you like

The next morning, Liu Yifei carefully opened the door of her house, hung her coat on the hanger at the door, and then tiptoed into the house.

When she came to the living room, she found that her mother was not there, and she was relieved and turned to go upstairs to her room.

"You're back"

Just as she was about to go upstairs, she saw Liu Xiaoli standing by the handrail of the stairs on the second floor in a black silk pajamas.

Liu Yifei looked up at her mother and smiled well.

"Morning, Mom~"

Liu Xiaoli walked down the stairs expressionlessly.

"It's late, it will be noon in a while.

Have you had breakfast? If not, I'll ask Aunt Wang to make some for you"

Liu Yifei kept a flattering smile on her face, and her heart felt weak.

"I've eaten"

"I ate at Gu Wei's house!" Liu Xiaoli interrupted her without hesitation.

"No wonder you don't come to my house for dinner. It's really inconvenient to come to my house."

"Mom"

Liu Yifei's voice was drawn out, and she hugged her mother's arm and began to act like a spoiled child.

Liu Xiaoli turned her head and her face became relieved.

"Mom has never opposed your relationship, and she supports it very much. You don't have to hide it. Just tell me in advance if there is such a situation in the future, so that I don't worry."

"We are not dating!" Liu Yifei blurted out.

"Gu Wei doesn't admit it?" Liu's mother frowned when she heard her daughter's words.

"No, I don't want to.

Gu Wei and I have a good relationship, but I told you a long time ago that he is a very flowery person. If he really falls in love, I can't stand it."

Liu Xiaoli hesitated and said:

"Successful men will have some peach blossoms, not to mention that Gu Wei became famous at a young age. Whether it is appearance or career, he is the best of his age.

Don't look at what he was like before. As long as he can be sincere and treat you well after you two are together, everything else can be discussed."

"Mom"

Liu Yifei pulled Liu Xiaoli's arm and sat on the sofa.

"That's not the case. I've known Gu Wei for so many years and I know him too well. He is just like that. To put it nicely, he is a playboy, to put it bluntly, he is a scumbag.

And you also know how great the temptations are in our industry. When I entered the entertainment industry, you stayed by my side because you were worried about me.

With Gu Wei's current fame and status, and the various resources he has, I don't need to say more about what kind of situation he will face.

He is 5 years younger than me, and it is far from time for him to settle down."

Listening to her daughter's words, Liu Xiaoli frowned even deeper.

She originally thought that Gu Wei was very suitable for her daughter in terms of appearance and career. The most important thing was that the young man was not only excellent, but also had a good personality and a good relationship with her daughter.

But now she couldn't persuade Liu Yifei anymore after hearing what she said.

As for the relationship, she had promised her daughter that she would make all the decisions on her own.

"Then what do you think?

Since we can't be together, just keep a little distance and be ordinary friends.

You are not young now, maybe you will meet the right one someday."

"We are just ordinary friends now~" Liu Yifei said casually.

"Ordinary friends are those who stay out all night and stay at his house.

You are a girl and he is a boy. If there is no result together, you should withdraw as soon as possible, otherwise you will suffer." Liu Xiaoli said earnestly.

"Ah, mom, you have the old ideas of your generation. What about girls suffering? There is nothing between us. We are just good friends with a good relationship. I have told you this before.

Besides, I don't necessarily have to fall in love and get married. Isn't it good to live alone?"

"Alone?

Now you say that, I wonder what you will do when you become an old girl in a few years!"

Liu Xiaoli felt a little disappointed.

Liu Yifei leaned beside her with a smile.

"Mom~

I still have you!

No matter what, you will always be by my side."

After not seeing each other for a long time, Gu Weiyi came to the company in the morning with a refreshed spirit after a friendly exchange with the fairy sister.

Seven days after the release, the total box office of [Manslaughter] was 673 million yuan, and it has been sitting on the throne of the domestic single-day box office champion for seven consecutive days.

Wen Mu and his team also returned to Beijing after more than a week of national roadshows.

"Thank you for your hard work, Director Wen~"

"Looking at the box office results in the past few days, I feel that the hard work of the roadshow is worth it."

In the office, Wen Mu also took a sip of the water cup in front of him, looking tired.

He has been a bit busy during this period. Not only does he have to take the main creators of [Manslaughter] to the roadshow, but he also has to worry about the work of [Zhou Chu] crew in Taiwan. He is tired physically and mentally.

"The reputation of "The Manslaughterer" has spread completely, and the box office in the second week has dropped very little.

According to the current box office trend, the total box office should exceed 900 million by the end of this week. If we are optimistic, 1 billion is not impossible.

I see that Maoyan has raised the final box office forecast of "The Manslaughterer" from 1 billion to 1.5 billion.

Director Wen, I was right at the premiere, right? Now we are getting closer and closer to the target box office I said."

"Haha, I can't match Mr. Gu's foresight.

There is a saying in our company that if you don't understand what the boss wants you to do, you don't need to understand it and just do it, because the boss is definitely right."

Wen Mu was also happy that "The Manslaughterer" was a big hit, and he didn't forget to flatter his boss.

“.Tomorrow, several blockbuster movies such as Ip Man 4, Star Wars 9, and Only Yun Knows will be released, which will have some impact on Manslaughter.”

The two chatted for a while and talked about several movies released this weekend.

Wen Mu was also a little worried, but Gu Wei didn’t care much.

“The Star Wars series is a big hit in North America, but it will definitely not be accepted in China. This is the same reason why our Journey to the West-themed movies can’t sell well there.

The domestic audience doesn’t recognize this at all. None of the previous movies had high box office, which is far from Marvel’s movies.

As for Only Yun Knows, Feng Xiaogang only has box office appeal when he shoots comedies, and other types of movies are really not good.

And he feels a little behind the times now, maybe because he is old and has no energy.

Among the directors of their era, only Zhang Yimou has been making progress.

Maybe it can't be said to be progress, but it should be changing its shooting style and method in line with the times to adapt to today's audience.

Others are more or less conservative and it is difficult to produce high-grossing works.

Only [Ip Man 4] is worth noting. This IP has been filmed to the fourth part, and many fans are looking forward to it.

After the release, it is inevitable that some of our schedules will be taken away.

But don't worry too much. I have communicated with Wanda. As long as the box office of [The Accidental Detective] is stable, the schedule will not drop too much."

Wen Mu also nodded in agreement after listening to Gu Wei's analysis.

"There is nothing I can do about [The Accidental Detective]. I plan to fly to Taipei tomorrow and concentrate on the crew of [Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils]."

"Okay, there are some things in Beijing these two days. I will join the crew after I finish my work."

December 20, Friday.

[Star Wars 9: The Rise of Skywalker], [Ip Man 4], [The Mystery of the Storm], [Only Yun Knows], [The Fog of Day] and other movies were released.

Just as Gu Wei expected, both Star Wars 9 and Only Yun Knows are strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

One is a top Hollywood blockbuster, and the other is a masterpiece by the great director Feng Xiaogang. On the day of the premiere, the theaters gave them 13% and 20% of the screenings respectively.

Unfortunately, the box office share of the two movies on the day of release was far lower than the screening share. Only Yun Knows had 21.54 million on the first day, and Star Wars 9 had only a pitiful 17.01 million.

The low box office led to the subsequent screenings of the two movies being cut one after another, and the low screenings led to even lower box office, falling into a vicious cycle.

Among the several movies released at the same time, only Ip Man 4 had an outstanding box office, earning 97.52 million on the first day, and the single-day box office performance exceeded that of Manslaughter, becoming the new domestic box office champion.

In the following two days of the weekend, Ip Man 4 earned 120 million and 107 million box office results respectively, and 328 million in the first week, sitting firmly on the throne of box office champion for three consecutive days.

Manslaughter was released for two weeks and 10 days, with a total box office of 936 million.

Mainly due to the influence of several newly released movies, the film schedule was somewhat reduced and failed to break 1 billion.

On the 23rd, the Tengxun Video Starlight Awards was held at the Beijing Water Cube.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the sky had completely darkened, and the red carpet stage designed by Tengxun outside the Water Cube was still brightly lit.

With the strength of Tengxun, the New Light Awards was naturally star-studded, and many popular stars in the domestic entertainment industry came to the scene.

After everyone had passed, a face that reporters and fans had been waiting for for a long time finally walked on the red carpet.

"Ahhh, Gu Wei, Gu Wei is here!"

"Gu Wei, I love you!!"

"Brother, I want to give birth to a baby for you!!!"

Amid cheers and screams, Gu Wei, wearing a white suit, walked across the red carpet and stood in front of the signature board under the introduction of the host.

"Teacher Gu Wei came to participate in the Starlight Awards today, and the whole person looked so star-studded.

What are you busy with recently? Can you share it with us?"

After signing his name, when being photographed by the media, the host outside the field pulled Gu Wei to ask questions.

The star-studded scene he mentioned refers to the Bulgari diamond brooch on Gu Wei's chest, which really sparkled under the lights.

"It's the end of the year, and I've been attending some events recently."

"Do you have any work arrangements in the future?"

"I'm about to join the crew to shoot a new drama."

"I look forward to seeing more and better works from you in the future"

After the red carpet process, Gu Wei entered the venue and walked through the aisle under the guidance of the staff, passing through the entire guest area and coming to the semi-circular sofa at the front.

"Gu Wei~"

"Boss~"

"Boss!"

Some ceremonies arranged for celebrities to sit in normal seats, while others were arranged around a round table. The Starlight Awards designed the guest area into semi-circular long sofas, with 4 rows horizontally and 5 rows combed, with about 5 people sitting on each sofa.

Gu Wei's seat was naturally the front of the whole venue, and the other people sitting with him were also very interesting, including Yang Mi, Dilireba, and Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi from his company.

After he arrived, Yang Mi greeted him, and Xiao Zhan and the other two quickly stood up to greet him.

Only Reba looked at Gu Wei with a smile on her face, without saying anything.

"Sit down, don't be so restrained outside, don't call the boss," Gu Wei said to the two cash cows with a smile.

Ceremony like the Starlight Awards pays the most attention to popularity and popularity.

It's not surprising that Gu Wei and Yang Mi sit together, Reba is also a top female star now.

Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi just became popular this year and can sit with them, which shows how popular these two are now.

Of course, Teng Xun’s arrangement was also because the two of them were artists under Gu Wei, just like Reba sitting next to Yang Mi.

"Sister Mi is so beautiful today, and Reba is also beautiful!"

After talking to Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi, Gu Wei sat directly in the middle of the semicircular sofa, with Yang Mi beside him and Reba sitting on the other side of Yang Mi.

"You look very handsome today too!"

Yang Mi was wearing a white lace dress and looked at Gu Wei beside her with a smile on her face.

"Of course, I'm handsome all the time, everyone says so."

Gu Wei raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

"Shit!"

Although it was true, Yang Mi still said something to Gu Wei out of habit.

Then she thought about it and asked with a smile: "Do you think I or Reba is better looking today?"

After finishing the sentence, Reba, who had been listening to the two chatting, also looked at Gu Wei. She didn't speak much in the presence of Damimi, but there was still some expectation in her eyes at this time.

Gu Wei glanced at Reba, then looked at Yang Mi with a smile: "Sister Mi, why are you competing with Reba? You are several years older than her."

Yang Mi looked angry after hearing this: "Do you think I'm old?"

Reba secretly covered her mouth and smiled.

"Of course not, I mean you are my aunt, the most beautiful woman in the world before you, and Reba is the most beautiful woman in the world after you.

And for Ye Hua, Bai Qian is definitely the most beautiful! "

Gu Wei's words were so beautiful. He didn't answer Yang Mi's question directly, but said that neither of their roles in "Three Lives Three Worlds" would offend anyone.

Finally, he emphasized that Bai Qian was the most beautiful among Ye Hua and praised Yang Mi again.

Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi were listening to the two chatting on the other side, and they could see the boss's language skills.

The two looked at each other with admiration in their hearts.

‘As expected of a boss, he can answer such a question so well and praise two people at the same time. That’s amazing! ’ Xiao Zhan blinked.

Zeng Shunxi nodded slightly.

'How about the boss, who has been in the industry for so many years and has had so many scandals, but has never fallen out of favor? This is called the art of language, and we can learn it slowly. ’

"By the way, congratulations on the success of your company's movie [Manslaughter]. The box office today exceeded 1 billion!" Yang Mi was also quite satisfied with Gu Wei's words, and smiled and talked about other things.

"Thanks~"

"How do you do it, not only do the movies you act in become hits, but the movies you produce also have such high box office?"

Yang Mi looked envious. As a top domestic entertainment actress, she has reached the top among popular celebrities. What she wants to do most now is to transform into a movie star and a powerful person.

“First we need to find a good script, then we need to find a good director, a good team, and good actors, and finally we need to put more effort into the release announcement.

If you can do all of this, even if you can't sell it well, at least you won't lose money. "

Gu Wei said what he was thinking.

Although most of the success of his movies depends on his prophet, he has also learned some rules over the years.

Now even if he is allowed to make an original movie, Gu Wei is confident that it will be a hit.

"It's easy for you to say, but these points are too difficult for me." Yang Mi sighed with emotion.

Gu Wei's current celebrity status is too high. He can pick and choose most of the film and television resources in the industry at will, but other actors do not have this ability, they can only be selected.

Even though Yang Mi is so famous, she can only get along in the circles of ancient puppets and modern puppets. It is difficult for her to integrate into the circles of dramas and movies.
