Huayu is free to do as you like

In the private room of the hotel, Gu Wei was wearing a peaked cap, sunglasses and a mask on his face, fully armed.

Although the table in front of him was filled with delicious food, he stood straight and motionless, as if he had no interest in the food on the table.

If you observe carefully, you can still see some nervousness in him.

Opposite the dining table sits the fat-headed Jia Bing, with several minions standing behind him.

Judging from his expression, he was also very wary of Gu Wei across the table.

[Big crowd] The crew is filming the scene where "Chen Xiaomeng" meets the murderer for the first time after discovering the identity of her killer.

The crew hired Jia Bing to play the role of the only villain in the play, a gangster boss who hires murderers.

This was entirely Rao Xiaozhi's idea, and Gu Wei didn't know it.

However, he also felt that the other party's casting was suitable.

Jia Bing is a comedian who has performed in sketches and appeared on the Spring Festival Gala. He has a silly and cute attitude about him.

She has performed well in some movies before, such as "囧Mom".

[The Crowd] is essentially a comedy. The villain uses Jia Bing. Not only does it have jokes, but the audience can accept any low-IQ thing he does.

"Well, Mr. Z, it's nice to meet you in person.

Then I'll do whatever you want! "

After saying one line, Jia Bing picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it in one gulp.

Gu Wei remained motionless, neither talking nor drinking.

He is a "fake killer". He came to see his employer today without any doubts and was extremely scared.

Jia Bing and his group had heard the legend that "Mr. Z" never missed, and were very afraid of the identity of his killer.

The scene is like a straw fighting a wolf.

"You're not drinking at all?" Jia Bing said in a low voice after finishing his drink and looking at Gu Wei opposite him who didn't move at all.

The younger brother next to him immediately came up with some clever ideas.

"Boss, killers need to have a clear head. I guess they can't drink."

"major!

I, Jia, admire the most capable people in my life! "

As he spoke, he glanced at the younger brother beside him and waved his hand.

"express!"

"Bang!"

A travel bag was thrown on the table, the zipper was opened, and it was filled with piles of hundred-dollar bills. The red color was very attractive.

Although Gu Wei was wearing sunglasses, he couldn't help but glance at the banknotes and swallowed.

"These are deposits, as long as Mr. Z gets Zeng Rong."

As he spoke, Jia Bing raised his hand and gestured on his neck with a smile on his face.

"I'll send the balance right away!"

"Ka! Very good, this one passed!" Rao Xiaozhi's voice came from the microphone.

"Teacher Jia Bing, you did a good job!"

Gu Wei took off his sunglasses and mask and said to Jia Bing across the table.

"You're ridiculous. To be honest, I don't have any idea at all. I'm afraid that my performance will be delayed and things will be delayed.

When the director approached me and invited me to act in a movie, I was very happy.

Later, when I read the script, I started to shrink a little. Either I didn't think there was anything wrong with playing a villain, or I was afraid that it would mess up the movie if I didn't do it well.

You also know that I do comedy sketches, but this is my first time trying this type of role."

Gu Wei understood Jia Bing's thoughts and comforted him with a smile: "Since the director is looking for you, he must think you are more suitable for this role.

And our drama itself is a comedy, so just relax and play it normally."

After finishing the morning scene, we took a break at noon.

"Gu Wei, look at the news, you are nominated for this year's Magnolia Award!" Reba was sitting on her chair, browsing her phone and eating fruit. Suddenly she saw something, her eyes lit up and she said in surprise.

Hearing her voice, Gu Wei's attention was diverted from the script in his hand.

"What prize?"

“Magnolia, you nominated Magnolia for Best Actor again!

The announcement just issued by Magnolia announced all the nominees for this year’s Magnolia Awards.”

Reba looked excited and handed the phone to Gu Wei. She was even happier with the other person's nomination than she was with her own nomination.

Gu Wei took Reba's phone and swiped a few times on the screen.

The Magnolia Organizing Committee of the 26th Shanghai TV Festival has just announced the nomination list for this year. Gu Wei is nominated for Best Actor for his role as Fan Xian in "Celebrating More Than Years".

In addition, "Qing Yu Nian" has also been shortlisted for several awards including Best TV Series, Best Director, Best Screenplay (Adaptation), and Best Supporting Actor.

Especially for Best Supporting Actor, "Qing Emperor" Chen Daoming and "Wang Qinian" Tian Yu were nominated respectively.

Gu Wei glanced at the other actors nominated for Best Actor.

"It's a good thing to be shortlisted, but there is a high probability that you won't win the award this time."

"Why?

I think your performance as "Fan Xian" is very good, and it is very likely that you will be awarded the title of Magnolia Emperor! "

Reba had great confidence in Gu Wei.

Gu Wei smiled: "[Qing Yu Nian] is very popular. In terms of broadcast performance and popularity, the shortlisted TV series combined are not as good as it, but the awards are not just about popularity.

[Qing Yu Nian] is, to be precise, a comedy about machinations in ancient costumes, but it is not an award-winning subject in itself.

Besides, I have already won the Magnolia Award for Best Actor once. If I win the second Best Actor Award, I must produce a work that convinces everyone."

"That's it." Reba looked regretful. Those who didn't know thought she was the one who had been shortlisted for Magnolia.

Gu Wei didn't think it was anything. He had already won the Magnolia Vision Emperor with [Nirvana in Fire], so he was in a good mood. It would be great if he could win it, but it didn't matter if he couldn't win it.

With the popularity of this year's "Qing Yu Nian", although it is unlikely that Magnolia will win, the Golden Eagle Award in October will most likely go to him.

The Golden Eagle Awards are highly commercialized, and the Most Popular Actor Award is still voted by the audience. With Gu Wei's fame and popularity, it is difficult for him not to win the award as long as his works are nominated.

"Will you go to the award ceremony next month?" Reba asked again.

"Of course I will go~

[Celebrating More Than One] is a drama produced by [Wei Ming Tianxia], and I was nominated for the Best Actor. How could I not go?

Besides, [Celebrating More Than One 2] will start filming in the second half of the year, which is also an opportunity for publicity."

The recently aired [Nothing But Thirty] has become a hit.

This TV series, which tells the dilemmas and challenges of three 30-year-old women in urban life, has successfully aroused widespread social resonance, especially strong reactions from female audiences.

The TV series depicts women at different stages of life, facing the choices of life and love, career and life. It is a portrayal of the lives of contemporary 30+ women and has won the love of a large number of female audiences.

The three leading actresses Jiang Shuying, Tong Yao, and Mao Xiaotong have also gained popularity because of this drama.

However, it is somewhat embarrassing that Jiang Shuying is the first female lead, but after the TV series was broadcast, it is obvious that Tong Yao has reaped the biggest dividends.

Jiang Shuying's Wang Manni has become the least popular of the three female leads.

The TV series became popular, and netizens also dug up the fact that Tong Liya once refused to play "Gu Jia".

Some fans felt sorry for their sister, and many netizens were glad that it was not Tong Liya, thinking that she could not play the taste of "Gu Jia".

".Why did you say that Tong Liya refused the script of "Nothing But Thirty" at the beginning? This drama is obviously very good."

Recently, Reba has also been following this drama. When she comes back from filming at night, she will watch the drama in the living room if she has nothing to do.

Gu Wei usually works beside her and sometimes watches with her.

"During the preparation, the first female lead of this drama was "Wang Manni".

With Tong Liya's status, it is very likely that she will not be inferior to Jiang Shuying."

Gu Wei explained without looking up at the laptop in front of him.

"What a pity, now "Gu Jia" is much more popular than "Wang Manni"" Reba muttered.

At this time, Gu Wei finished replying to an email, shifted his attention from the computer, and looked at Reba with a smile.

"Actually, there is another guess~

Do you know who Tong Liya's husband is?"

"Chen Sicheng~" Reba said as a matter of course.

Gu Wei smiled and said: "As far as I know, Director Chen is a very playful person, even after getting married.

Hasn't there always been news about his cheating in recent years?

I think Tong Liya may not want to play "Gu Jia" because she considers that this character has a husband who also cheated.

I am afraid that after the show is broadcast, the audience will elevate the character to the person herself"

"Sister Yaya is so beautiful, and her husband is still cheating, what a scumbag!" Reba frowned slightly, obviously she had heard about Director Chen's romantic affairs.

"Do you know Tong Liya? Why are you standing up for her?"

"I don't know her, but we are both from the frontier. What's wrong with saying a few words for her?

Men are all bad."

Reba glanced at Gu Weijiao and snorted, then turned around to continue watching the show.

Gu Wei was a little puzzled. He was innocently caught in the crossfire.

Compared with the TV drama market, which has been hot since the beginning of the year, the movie market is very pitiful.

On July 20, cinemas across the country resumed normal operations.

First, classic movies such as "The Sound of Wind", "The Pursuit of Happyness", and "Zootopia" were re-screened, but unfortunately the box office was very small.

Then on the 24th, Hollywood blockbusters "Bloodshot" and "Dolittle's Fantasy Adventure" were released, but they still flopped.

The box office of "Bloodshot" in the first week was only a pitiful 19.58 million, and in the second week, the single-day box office was only a little over 3 million.

You should know that the starring actor of this movie is the famous "family hero" Vin Diesel.

His "Fast and Furious" series of movies has a very high influence in China. "Fast and Furious 7" and "Fast and Furious 8" have both achieved box office results of more than 2 billion yuan, and the total box office of the series has exceeded 8 billion yuan.

"Dumbo" is not much better, with 36.35 million in the first week and a predicted box office of 150 million yuan.

Adapted from the children's literature of the same name by the famous British writer Hugh Lofting, starring Robert Downey Jr. and dubbed by Tom Holland (dog), it is really incredible that the box office is so low.

Even the popularity of Iron Man can't save this movie.

On the 31st of the month, the movie "Jojo Rabbit" starring Black Widow was released.

At the beginning of this year, this film was nominated for many awards including the Oscars, the Golden Globe Awards, the Directors Guild of America Awards, and the British Academy of Film Awards.

However, it was useless, with 5.32 million in the first week and a total box office of 20 million.

As most people expected, the epidemic has dealt a heavy blow to the film industry, and even if the cinemas resumed business, the market was unbelievably cold.

"The Crowd" crew. Gu Wei was wearing a neat suit and holding a cigarette in his hand, watching his ex-girlfriend, who was dressed in a business suit, counting money across from him.

This scene was the last stop for "Chen Xiaomeng" to pay back the money after changing his identity, and it was to pay back the money to his ex-girlfriend.

The ex-girlfriend was played by Zhou Yutong.

This role only had one scene, and she was an office worker, and Zhou Yutong's office clothes were just right for her.

After counting the money, Zhou Yutong smiled and nodded, looking Gu Wei up and down.

"Are you working as an agent?"

Gu Wei looked down at his suit, which did look a bit like a real estate agent, and smiled awkwardly.

"I took a new role"

"What show?"

"A tragedy~

You said that among the classmates in our drama club back then, I am the only one who is still persisting.

So stick to this."

Before he finished speaking, he noticed the ring on Zhou Yutong's hand.

"This big diamond ring."

"The wedding will be held after the Chinese New Year. If you have time then, come."

Gu Wei was stunned, and tremblingly took out all the cash in his wallet and put it in the other person's hand.

He smiled reluctantly: "I wish you happiness, part money."

Then he turned around and left.

After taking a few steps forward, the expression on his face gradually became distorted, and he was about to cry. Zhou Yutong shouted from behind.

"Hello~"

Gu Wei stopped, his expression returned to normal instantly, and he turned to look over.

Zhou Yutong patted himself behind with one arm, in a gesture that looked like a hug.

Gu Wei's eyes lit up, he ran back, held the other person's face and kissed him.

"What are you doing!"

"You're not"

Gu Wei made a hug gesture.

"I mean there's a footprint on your back!"

Gu Wei smiled reluctantly: "I just finished filming the fight scene."

After turning around, he looked sad and ran away.

"A drama queen."

"Ka! Passed!" came the director's voice, and Zhou Yutong relaxed in the venue.

She walked up to Gu Wei, with a guilty look on her face: "Teacher Gu Wei, I'm sorry, I failed several times because of my relationship, which made it difficult for you to reshoot with me."

The scene just now was very simple, with only two or three lines. However, when Gu Wei rushed over to kiss her, she was always unable to push Gu Wei away in time, causing this simple scene to go NG several times.

It's not that she can't act, it's just that Gu Wei's temptation is too great, and NG is exactly what Zhou Yutong wants. Not everyone has the opportunity to kiss Gu Wei.

Gu Wei smiled: "It doesn't matter, it's normal to be ungrateful in filming, and your performance has gotten better and better since then.

I also want to thank you for not being too dissatisfied with the lack of roles in the show."

"How come, in Teacher Gu Wei's play, even if there is only one scene, there will be many people rushing to participate.

And although there is only one scene, I think the ex-girlfriend part is very interesting, and it will definitely leave a deep impression on the audience after the movie is released."

"As long as you think so, don't call me teacher, you don't have to be so polite."

Zhou Yutong blinked his big eyes and asked tentatively: "Brother Wei, can I add you on WeChat?"

"No problem~"

As he spoke, Gu Wei took the mobile phone from his assistant and added Zhou Yutong as a friend.

Zhou Yutong was extremely happy to get what she wanted. She was done with just one scene, and with Gu Wei's WeChat message, it was a worthwhile trip.

By the way, there were also several kisses with Gu Wei. This day's filming was so worth it.

Ignoring Zhou Yutong, who was immersed in his own world and happy with his only son, Gu Wei walked to the rest area and sat down.

"Does that little beauty have nice lips?" Reba, who had been sitting here waiting for the show, asked jokingly.

She was watching the scene just now.

"What? Is the other party NG? Reba, you are not professional~"

Gu Wei spread his hands.

While the two were chatting, Gu Wei's cell phone rang.

I took it out and looked at it. It was a call from Yang Liwen.

Just pick it up.

"Hello~"

On the other end of the phone, Yang Liwen quickly explained the purpose of the call. Due to the downturn in the domestic film market since the 20th, everyone in the company also had doubts about the upcoming release of "Zhou Chu Removes Three Evils".

She asked Gu Wei if he wanted to cancel the schedule and change it to another date.

".It's within my expectation, don't worry too much.

I predict that the official side will soon issue some policy documents to encourage movie viewing.

Moreover, our movie itself is designed to heat up the market, so-called "rescue work."

If you turn around and run away when you see something is wrong, what will the film bureau say?

And I have confidence in my movie, and the company will just do the online promotion as planned."

After hanging up the phone, Reba's expression became a little worried when she heard the call.

"You really don't want to consider switching to another time?"

"I made it very clear on the phone just now, I am confident!"

"But."

Before Reba finished speaking, Gu Wei interrupted her.

"No but, the results of [Zhou Chu's Elimination of Three Evils] will definitely not be bad, because this is my Gu Wei's movie!"

Gu Wei spoke word by word, and Reba looked at his firm eyes, and the worries in her heart faded a lot.

'Maybe he can really create miracles. After all, creating a box office legend is more difficult for others than reaching the sky, but for Gu Wei, it is as easy as drinking water and eating.'

Reba likes Gu Wei. In addition to various external factors, the domineering attitude he occasionally shows is one of the reasons for her obsession.

"What are you going to do?" Reba asked.

"Nothing to do, everything is business as usual.

Due to the general environment, it is impossible for the road show to run away, and there is nothing to do about the premiere.

The main venue for film promotion is still online.”

Speaking of this, Gu Wei thought about it for a while.

“Before the movie is released, I will hold a few live broadcasts on Douyin to help promote it.

I believe that my influence on Douyin will bring a lot of popularity to the movie."

Gu Wei's Douyin followers have exceeded 100 million, making him the personal Douyin account with the largest number of followers.

He doesn't usually post many short videos, but each video receives very high comments and likes.
