Huayu is free to do as you like

Hengdian, the crew of [The Long Ballad].

After the last scene of the day was filmed, Reba went into the dressing room to change clothes, and Zhao Lusi, the second female lead of the crew, was with her.

"Sister Baba, are you still following [Joy of Life]?"

After changing out of her costume and putting on her own clothes, Zhao Lusi looked in the mirror and chatted with Reba beside her.

"I watch it every day," Reba replied casually.

She and Zhao Lusi only met when they worked together on this drama. In her eyes, the other party is young and lively, and the two have a good relationship in the crew.

"Tonight is the finale, I'm so looking forward to it.

But more of a pity, such a good drama is about to end, and too many things are not explained clearly."

"Didn't Gu Wei say that the second part will be filmed in the second half of the year? Just wait.

Various questions will be revealed little by little in the second part."

Zhao Lusi looked in the mirror and stretched out her hand to tie up her hair.

"It's a pity that I'm just a little-known artist. It would be great if I had the opportunity to play a role in [Joy of Life 2].

I like Gu Wei very much."

Reba glanced at Zhao Lusi's round face.

"Ruth, you are no longer a little artist. Wasn't the [The Rumored Chen Qianqian] very popular last month?

You have become famous with one drama. How many female stars in the circle envy you.

And in our drama, your character is also very good. When it is broadcast, you will definitely attract a lot of fans."

Zhao Lusi couldn't hide her happiness when she heard Reba's words, but she still waved her hand modestly and said: "I didn't expect [Chen Qianqian] to be popular when I was filming. It was pure luck.

[The Long Ballad] still depends on the popularity of Sister Baba to rise."

Reba smiled and said nothing after hearing her words.

After the two changed their clothes and walked out, Zhao Lusi turned around and asked: "Sister Baba, why don't you come to my room tonight and watch the drama together."

Reba thought about it and didn't refuse.

"Okay, I'll come find you later."

At night, Reba returned to her room, took a shower, changed into comfortable clothes, and saw that it was almost time, so she came to Zhao Lusi's door.

"Sister Baba, come quickly~"

The door opened, and Zhao Lusi enthusiastically let her in.

"Sister Baba~"

"Wu Lei, why are you here?"

After entering the room, Reba saw Wu Lei sitting on the sofa in the living room.

"Ruth asked me to come. I was also following [Celebration of Life]. She said that today was the finale and it would be more lively for everyone to get together to watch, so she dragged me over."

Wu Lei spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Originally, I also called Liu Yuning, but he said that he would go back to his room to live broadcast in the evening, so he couldn't come. Let's watch it together."

Zhao Lusi closed the door and hugged Reba's arm from behind, dragged her to sit on the sofa, and took out a basket of snacks from under the coffee table next to her.

"We can eat and watch at the same time.

There are drinks in the refrigerator, Wu Lei, go get some."

"Oh, OK~"

Wu Lei stood up obediently.

Reba was a little surprised by Wu Lei's appearance, but she didn't think anything of it.

She actually had a better impression of Wu Lei, and the two were still the male and female protagonists of "The Long Ballad".

But in her heart, she always felt that Wu Lei was still the little Fei Liu in "Nirvana in Fire", and she looked at him like a child.

"You are not afraid of getting fat after eating so much at night." Reba smiled at Zhao Lusi.

Zhao Lusi paused as she reached out to take a bag of potato chips and was about to tear it open, and then continued her action.

"No, I'll just indulge myself a little today, and I'm still very careful at ordinary times.

Besides, I didn't have dinner today, so it shouldn't matter if I eat some snacks."

Wu Lei came back with the drinks, and Reba took a bottle of lemonade, which has a lower sugar content than cola and juice.

On TV, the last two episodes of "Celebrating More Than Years" started soon. Reba and Zhao Lusi sat side by side, Wu Lei sat on the side, and the three began to watch the show.

Today, the last two episodes of "Celebrating More Than Years" 45 and 46 were broadcast.

At the beginning of episode 45, the Queen Mother of Northern Qi held a birthday banquet. The envoys of Qing and the officials of Northern Qi sat together, and everyone had their own thoughts.

During the banquet, Lang Tao asked to play and was willing to compete with Fan Xian in the hall.

Seeing Lang Tao's murderous aura, Haitang Duoduo took the initiative to volunteer to compete with Fan Xian on behalf of her senior brother.

The competition between the two was not only not as sharp as the swords drawn, but also without the murderous aura of swords and swords. Instead, it was as elegant and calm as dancing, soft and harmonious. It didn't look like a martial arts competition, but a dance competition.

Wang Qinian explained to Gaoda below that Master Xiao Fan and the Saint of Northern Qi were in love, so naturally they would not really fight.

"When Xin Zhilei's Haitang Duoduo first appeared, I thought she was very rustic, but the more I watched her, the better she looked. I feel that she and Fan Xian are really a good match.

The two of them are very interesting together. I am almost a fan of them."

Watching Gu Wei and Xin Zhilei performing the love and love on TV, Zhao Lusi said with her chin in her hand.

"Teacher Xin Zhilei's acting is really good. I have seen the "Changjiang Tu" in which she starred. It is very good!" Wu Lei added.

Reba also felt a little emotional when watching Xin Zhilei on TV.

As early as 2010, Lu Chuan filmed "The Feast of the King" and held a national audition for "Yu Ji". She and Xin Zhilei both participated in the audition. Although both of them failed, they also took the opportunity to get to know each other.

At that time, both of them were still amateurs. Reba was admitted to the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and Xin Zhilei was also unknown.

After that, because of their different paths, the two gradually lost contact.

Ten years have passed in a flash.

‘After [Joy of Life], you have become really famous. I hope your future acting career will be smoother.’

Although the two are no different from strangers now, the friendship they had back then still made Reba wish each other well from the bottom of her heart.

After the Queen Mother’s birthday banquet, Fan Xian defeated Shen Zhong, the commander of the Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division, with a trick, and completed all the tasks of this mission to Northern Qi.

On the way back to Nanqing, Shen Zhong led a large number of assassins to chase Fan Xian. With the help of Haitang Duoduo, Shen Zhong failed to assassinate and was taken back to Northern Qi.

On the way back to Nanqing, Xie Bian came to see Fan Xian.

The second prince asked him to bring two letters, one to Fan Xian and one to Yan Bingyun.

Fan Xian knew that the second prince was the man behind the scenes. The other party threatened Teng Zijing’s family, Fei Jie, and Fan Sizhe in the letter.

Fan Xian was unwilling to compromise, and Xie Bian led a large number of assassins to kill the envoys.

At the critical moment, Yan Bingyun turned against him and stabbed Fan Xian in the waist with a sword, and Fan Xian fell to the ground and died.

"Is this the end?

Fan Xian is dead?

Didn't they say they would shoot the second part?"

At the end of the TV series, Zhao Lusi looked incredible.

"It must be a fake death, I guessed it.

There are so many foreshadowings buried in the front that haven't been revealed, how can it end?"

Wu Lei was not surprised at all.

As for the plot of [Celebrating Yu Nian], anyone who has watched more than two TV series knows that the protagonist must have faked his death.

"You are right, and this makes me even more itchy. I really want to know how the story will happen later. How did Fan Xian fake his death and get away, and how will he fight the second prince after returning to Nanqing."

After mumbling a few words, Zhao Lusi looked at Wu Lei beside her and her eyes lit up.

"You have a good relationship with Gu Wei, why don't you call him and ask him, and say that you are so curious about the ending of the drama."

Wu Lei hurriedly shook his head: "I won't call, calling so late will disturb Brother Wei's rest~"

"How late is it, it's just past 9 o'clock, and don't we also support [Celebrating Yu Nian]?"

No matter what Zhao Lusi said, Wu Lei just didn't agree, but he looked at Reba and gave her a hint.

Zhao Lusi then remembered that Reba should have a good relationship with Gu Wei. The two have cooperated many times, and [You Are My Glory] was a hit that year.

Thinking of this, she hugged Reba's arm and acted coquettishly: "Sister Baba, why don't you ask, I'm really curious"

Unlike Wu Lei's caution, Reba didn't think there was anything wrong with calling Gu Wei. She would call him when she was free at night.

"Okay, I'll call him now."

Reba dialed Gu Wei's number, and she was still in hands-free mode.

To be honest, she was a little bit showing off.

"Does Reba miss me? Why are you calling so late?"

The phone was connected, but before Reba could say anything, Gu Wei spoke first.

After he finished speaking, Wu Lei and Zhao Lusi widened their eyes, as if they had heard some great secret, and looked at Reba in disbelief.

"Ahem~ I'm with Wu Lei and Lusi, we just watched the finale of [Celebrating More Than Years]"

Reba quickly told Gu Wei about the people around her to prevent him from saying anything more outrageous.

"Oh~ You're together" Gu Wei understood immediately, but he didn't care too much.

"The crew of [The Long Ballad], right?

Wu Lei, come on, act well, I'm optimistic about your "Ashile Falcon"!"

"Okay, Brother Wei, I'll work hard!"

Wu Lei seemed very happy to be encouraged by Gu Wei.

He had been working with Gu Wei since he was a child, and had always regarded him as his idol and goal in his acting career, hoping that he could reach Gu Wei's level one day in the future.

"And Zhao Lusi, right? I've seen your drama [The Legend of Chen Qianqian], it's very spiritual, keep it up, the future is promising"

"Thank you, Mr. Gu Wei, you are my idol, I especially like your TV dramas.

I haven't missed any since [The Blade of the Assassin]."

Zhao Lusi was very excited to hear what Gu Wei said, and said happily, having forgotten the purpose of asking Reba to call.

"We just finished watching the last two episodes of [Celebrating Yu Nian], and I have some doubts to ask you~" Reba got back to business.

"Fan Xian should be faking his death, right?"

"The protagonist must not die, it was planned by Fan Xian and Yan Bingyun.

He planned to fake his death and go to Beijing to investigate the whereabouts of Teng Zijing's wife and children"

"What about the rest?"

"I can't say what's next, you should wait until the second part is broadcast and watch it for yourself."

Hearing this, Zhao Lusi looked regretful.

"By the way, Reba, [The Crowd] will start filming at the beginning of next month. You may have to finish filming [The Long Ballad] and then join the crew. It will be hard."

"It's nothing.

Okay, since it's not convenient to talk about it later, I won't bother you anymore."

"Well, Wu Lei, Zhao Lusi, see you next time."

"Goodbye, Brother Wei~"

"Goodbye, Teacher Gu Wei~"

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Lusi looked at Reba.

"Sister Baba, you are going to work with Teacher Gu Wei again, a movie or a TV series?"

"In the movie, I play a supporting role, not much."

"That's also amazing.

This is your fourth time working with Teacher Gu Wei.

So enviable."

Zhao Lusi said that he had seen all of Gu Wei's films and it was not nonsense. Reba has indeed worked with Gu Wei three times, starting from [The Legend of Sword and Fairy] to the later [Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms] and [You Are My Glory].

Reba smiled.

"It's nothing great. Gu Wei is the major shareholder of [Jiaxing Media]. I work for him to make money. Of course he will think about us employees if he has the right opportunity."

Zhao Lusi pursed her lips and nodded in agreement, but she didn't agree in her heart.

There are so many artists under Jiaxing, except for Yang Mi, Gu Wei only takes care of Dilraba, and he can be regarded as a special favorite.

Moreover, as Gu Wei said when the call was put through, it was obvious that the relationship between the two was unusual.

They have a boss and a female artist. If they are not boyfriend and girlfriend, then the relationship will be delicate.

Zhao Lusi thought so in her heart but did not ask rashly. Her relationship with Reba was not that good yet, and no one with some emotional intelligence would ask such a relatively private question.

After watching the TV series and making the phone call, Wu Lei got up and left.

Reba also wanted to leave, so Zhao Lusi walked her to the door.

"Sister Baba, you have such a good relationship with Teacher Gu Wei, can you introduce us to each other when you have the chance?

I particularly like Mr. Gu Wei’s drama, he is my idol.”

Reba walked out and smiled: "I'll have a chance in the future."

"Thank you, Sister Barba!"

Zhao Lusi looked happy after returning with affirmation.

In fact, Reba was just talking perfunctorily. She didn't care at all about Zhao Lusi's request. The other party was not the first and he would not be the last.

With Gu Wei's fame and status, there aren't too many female celebrities like Zhao Lusi in the entertainment industry who want to make progress.

[Celebrating More Than Years] has come to an end, but its popularity remains unabated.

The playback volume of Tengxun Video and iQiyi platforms is still rising.

Big hit dramas often have a long tail effect that lasts a long time. This is true for [Do You Know] and [Nirvana in Fire].

The most exaggerated one is "The Legend of Zhen Huan". After being aired for more than 10 years, it still appears on the platform's hot list from time to time.

".Based on the good news of domestic hits, we have already cooperated with Hong Kong TVB Jade Channel, Macau TVB Anywhere Jade Channel, Singapore HUB Drama Choice, South Korea's China TV, Taiwan's China Television, Malaysia's Octave Space, the United States Supervision America Channel, Vietnam HTV7 and many other foreign TV stations have negotiated copyright.

Starting next month, "Celebrating More Than Years" will be broadcast on TV stations in more than 30 countries and regions around the world.

The domestic second-round broadcast rights were jointly won by Mango Channel and Blueberry Channel.

These recovered another 240 million in copyright fees for the company."

In the company, Yang Liwen is reporting to Gu Wei on the transaction status of the foreign copyright and second-round broadcast rights of [Qing Yu Nian].

"The total revenue [Qing Yu Nian] brought to the company exceeds 1 billion, right?"

"A total of 1.068 billion yuan. Excluding the production costs and part of the publicity costs invested by the company before the release, the total profit is about 800 million yuan."

Gu Wei tapped his finger on the table.

"It's still very profitable to film TV series, and both TV stations and video platforms are willing to spend money."

Yang Liwen smiled and said: "Boss, you don't make money from filming TV series, you make money from the TV series produced by our company.

If you appear, your performance will be guaranteed, and both TV stations and platforms will be willing to pay high prices.

Nowadays, every video platform is producing self-produced dramas, and dramas produced by other companies generally cannot be sold at a high price unless they have popular stars.”

Gu Wei nodded in approval, and Yang Liwen added: "Due to many good cooperations over the years, our company has a good relationship with several video platforms, mainly because they have made money by cooperating with us.

Take the current film [Celebrating More Than Years] as an example.

As far as I know, Tengxun Video and iQiyi earned nearly one billion yuan in advertising revenue from "Qing Yu Nian", not counting the membership income brought to them by the TV series.

So even if we are given a high copyright fee, the platform will still make a lot of money! "

"Haha, isn't this good? It's a win-win cooperation. As long as we can continue to produce high-quality works, both the TV station and the platform will be our best friends, and we don't have to worry about which side we turn to."

Gu Wei originally had the opportunity to start a video platform, but then he gave up after thinking about it.

Although we know that video platforms will be a very important channel in the film and television field in the future, it is too expensive to do so.

To run a video platform for a long time requires continuous investment, because various new film and television copyrights come out every year, and if you don't buy them, your competitors will buy them.

And despite the fact that Gu Wei's dramas have made so much money for the platform, in fact the platform is losing money on most of the dramas that have bought the copyrights.

It is normal for companies like Tencent and Youku to lose more than one billion every year.

Gu Wei thinks it's good to be like this. As a producer of high-quality dramas, as long as the market does not form a monopoly, he can take the initiative in cooperating with various platforms.
