Huayu is free to do as you like

Clara didn't stay on the set for too long, mainly because Gu Wei was too busy filming, and the frequent late-night scenes meant that his rest time was very irregular. There was no point in Clara staying in the hotel by herself.

March passed quickly, and the crew of [Changjin Lake] moved to the next filming location.

This movie was shot in two parts together. So far, the scenes of the first part [Changjin Lake] have been almost filmed, and the crew is ready to start shooting the scenes of the second part [Shuimen Bridge].

The main director also changed from Lin Chaoxian to Xu Ke.

"Congratulations, [Long Song Xing] broadcast results are very good!"

In the hotel room at night, Gu Wei and Reba were making video calls.

The other party's new drama "Long Song Xing" will be broadcast simultaneously on Tengxun Video and Ludong Satellite TV at the end of March. The current statistics of the TV series are very good. Although it is not a big hit, it is definitely a hit.

"It's okay. Looking at the ratings, online broadcast volume and Internet popularity now, it's pretty good. I hope it can maintain this momentum until the TV series is finished."

In the video, Reba is wearing a loose and baggy light gray pajamas with a facial mask on her face. The background is also in a hotel.

"Are you still filming [Changjin Lake]?"

"Yes~"

"I remember you joined the group at the beginning of the year. It's been three months already."

"This movie is divided into two parts. We shot it together, so it took a long time.

I estimate it will take around June to complete."

"You haven't been injured during filming recently, have you?"

Reba still remembered that Gu Wei was injured while filming last month. She was very worried after seeing the news and called him as soon as possible.

Fortunately it was just a false alarm.

"No, the previous time was an accident, and it was just a skin injury."

"Anyway, you have to pay attention to your health. Although work is important, your body is fundamental!"

Seeing Reba's serious concern, Gu Wei smiled.

"Got it~

I feel like you have become a lot more talkative now. I remember that Reba you were very shy when we first met."

Reba was not angry when she heard what Gu Wei said. She took off the mask from her face and raised her hand to pat her face gently to accelerate the absorption of moisture.

"Hmph~

It's too late to know my true identity now, you can't escape from my grasp."

After saying that, she let out a funny laugh.

Reba's true personality is actually very cheerful. When she is with Gu Wei in private, she will make some little jokes from time to time, which is in sharp contrast to the dignified persona of the red carpet goddess.

"When the promotional work of [Changgexing] is over during this period, shall I go visit you?" Reba asked after the two joked for a while.

Gu Wei thought for a while.

"[Changjin Lake] The crew moved to the Northeast. The shooting conditions here are more difficult than before, and the temperature outside is very low. It is not a good choice for you to come here.

[The Crowd] has been scheduled for May. Before the movie is released, I will take some time off to promote it, and then we will naturally be able to meet each other."

In the movie "The Crowd" filmed last year, Reba played a couple with Gu Wei, so she was naturally there to promote the movie before its release.

"Okay then~"

Gu Wei did not lie to Reba. The shooting conditions for the crew of "Changjin Lake" were really difficult after they moved to Dandong.

The location layout and facilities for various crews have not changed much. The main difficulty lies in the weather.

[Changjin Lake] was shot in full real-situation, and it is located in the northeast, so the weather is much colder than that in Zhejiang Province.

Filming night scenes at night, with temperatures as low as 20 to 30 degrees below zero, the actors suffered a lot while filming in this environment.

"Ka! This time is good, passed!"

Xu Ke's voice came from the loudspeaker, and the staff outside the venue rushed in, put coats on the actors who had just filmed, and handed hand-warmers to the actors.

"Is it okay after you were hit just now?"

Gu Wei put his hands into the hand warmers and asked Wu Jing beside him.

It was very windy outside tonight and the temperature was lower than usual. I had just filmed a shooting scene. As a result, Wu Jing's hand holding the gun was frozen, and he missed the butt of the gun and hit himself in the face. .

"It's nothing, but it really hurts when I was hit just now.

It's too cold today, and the wind is really strong today.

My body is fine, but my hands and face can't bear it.

Especially with a gun in hand."

Naturally, they cannot wear gloves when acting, and the prop guns are made of iron and are extremely cold in this temperature.

Gu Wei nodded, looked up and looked around with emotion.

"We are filming a movie, and the costumes we wear are thickened military uniforms. Although it is cold here in Dandong, it is better than North Korea.

I think the conditions for the volunteers were countless times worse than they are now, but they still won the war.

The hardship and sacrifice involved are unimaginable.”

Wu Jing, who had recovered a little, raised his hand and patted Gu Wei's arm, an ugly smile on his frozen face.

"That's why we need to make this movie so that everyone can see the dedication and sacrifice of our ancestors."

The Spring Festival release "Better Days, Li Huanying" created a box office myth. Although it failed to achieve the exaggerated result of 5.3 billion in the original time and space, the final box office also exceeded 4 billion.

As a low-cost comedy film, [Li Huanying]'s producers BJ Culture, Ruyi Film and Television, and Maoyan Culture made a lot of money.

The film's director and starring Jia Ling also became famous, leaping from a comedian to a major comedy film director.

After starring in "Li Huanying", Shen Teng's personal box office has officially exceeded 20 billion, becoming the most popular comedy star in the industry.

The term "Teng content" has also been gradually accepted by the audience and has become a symbol of Shen Teng's personal box office appeal.

In recent years, due to the rapid increase in Shen Teng's influence, many projects related to Happy Twist like to ask him to make a cameo appearance.

Regardless of the effect, at least during the promotion, Shen Teng's name can be used, which contributes a lot to the box office.

After the screening of "Hello, Li Huanying", there was such a movie released, the comedy movie "The Sun Never Sets Hotel" starring Huang Cailun.

However, this movie is purely a fraudulent marketing using Shen Teng, and it is a complete bad movie.

During the promotion, Shen Teng's name was used, but Shen Teng did not appear in the movie from beginning to end, but only appeared in the form of a paper man for 2 minutes, and the Teng content was zero.

As an actor of Happy Twist, Huang Cailun himself does not have extremely high talent, but he does not seem to realize this.

Previously, netizens who have seen him in related variety shows such as "Happy Comedian" have reflected that his performance style belongs to: when making others laugh, the audience did not laugh, but he laughed first.

This point has been reflected once in "Li Cha's Aunt", which is known as the Waterloo of Happy Twist.

With Huang Cailun and Shen Teng as a foil, everyone can understand that there is a reason for a person to be popular, and there is also a reason for a person not to be popular.

With the precedent of the movie "Li Cha's Aunt", most audiences will naturally not jump into the fire pit to watch "Hotel Transylvania".

In the same period, the mainland film market also has Hollywood special effects blockbusters "Godzilla vs. Kong" and the drama "My Sister" starring Zhang Zifeng.

As a node-like film in the monster movie universe, the box office of "Godzilla vs. Kong" is quite good. It received 430 million box office in the first three days, and the subsequent box office quickly broke 1 billion.

And Zhang Zifeng became famous after starring in "Better Days", and has become the most box office-appealing post-00 actress in the domestic entertainment industry.

[My Sister] once again proved her strength. It not only had a good reputation, but also achieved a bumper box office. Although it failed to surpass [Godzilla vs. Kong], it also achieved a box office of more than 900 million.

"Brother, thank you for promoting the movie for me!"

"You don't have to be so polite to me."

Gu Wei, who was filming on the set, received a call from Zhang Zifeng. The little girl was obviously very happy that the movie was a big hit.

After [My Sister] was released, Gu Wei helped Zhang Zifeng promote it on Weibo and Douyin, which was more or less useful.

"After the road show, should I go back to school?"

"Yes, I've already gone back.

But in a few days, the recording of [Longing for Life Season 5] will start, and I have to leave again."

"Haha, with a star student like you, your acting teacher must be both happy and helpless~"

"Haha, brother, you should be similar to me when you were in school, right?"

Gu Wei was stunned and laughed: "Really, I may be even more excessive than you. I basically didn't have a few classes in school after the end of my freshman year.

Fortunately, I made a little name for myself outside at that time, and the teachers were easier to talk to.

Who is your homeroom teacher?"

"Thank you, teacher~"

"What a coincidence, my homeroom teacher back then was also Lao Xie.

He is very nice, very reasonable, and teaches well. I can learn a lot of useful knowledge in his class."

"Then if I say your name, won't I be able to walk sideways in the class?"

Gu Wei said helplessly: "You are a big star yourself, do you still need to say my name?

Which teacher and classmate in school can not look at you differently?

Besides, Zifeng, you are now the Golden Rooster Film Queen. Many teachers in the school probably feel pressure when teaching you, after all, most of them have never won such a big award."

"Haha~" Gu Wei's words drew a laugh from Zhang Zifeng.

"By the way, brother, will you come to [Longing for Life] this year?"

"This year's regular guests are still Peng Peng and the four of you, right?" Gu Wei asked.

"Well, it's still the four of us, Mr. He, but with a new guest, Zhang Yixing."

Gu Wei thought for a while and said, "It's not decided yet. My new movie will be released next month, and I might go to promote [Longing for Life]."

"Great, brother, you have a new movie coming out. I will definitely do my best to promote it!"

"Haha, then thank you in advance."

In early April, [Detective Chinatown 3], which had been released for two months, was finally released, and the final domestic box office was fixed at 5.86 billion yuan.

The final box office of the movie still failed to surpass [Wolf Warrior 2], ranking second in film history.

Yang Liwen and Zhao Mingcheng in the company also proposed whether to increase the box office so that [Detective Chinatown 3] could take the first place in film history.

But Gu Wei refused.

The central character of [Wolf Warrior 2] is Wu Jing, but it is also a movie he invested in and starred in. It is his own movie inside and out. There is no need to falsify for the sake of a name.

And starting from April, [Detective Chinatown 3] will be released in countries such as Asia, the Middle East and Africa.

Although the domestic box office is a little bit behind, it is not a problem for [Detective Chinatown 3] to surpass [Wolf Warrior 2] in the global box office.

Not to mention the Middle East and Africa, it is not a problem for Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asian countries led by Thailand to contribute 300 to 500 million RMB in box office.

On April 15, Gu Wei's plane landed in Tokyo.

This trip to Japan to promote [Detective Chinatown 3] was arranged in advance. The local partner Dongbao Co., Ltd. began to promote Gu Wei's arrival half a month ago.

Tokyo International Airport was already crowded with people.

Young men and women gathered together, some holding up light signs with Gu Wei's name, some holding his movie posters, and several people pulled open eye-catching welcome banners together.

Everyone stared at the passage outside the airport, waiting for the long-awaited figure to appear.

"Is there any head of state coming to Tokyo today? Why are there so many people at the airport?"

A middle-aged male passenger with a bald head who had just checked in his luggage was confused and looked at the exaggerated number of fans.

"These are all fans, picking up the stars at the airport," explained a friend next to him.

"What star can have such a big show? Jackie Chan?"

For the previous generation of Japanese, Jackie Chan is an absolute Asian superstar. He was already popular in Japan in the 1990s, but the fans who liked him back then have grown old, and the focus of their lives has shifted to work and family, so it is unlikely that they will chase stars.

The friend raised his head and motioned him to look at the poster over there.

"Gu Wei, an actor from China, he has been very popular in Japan in recent years"

The bald man suddenly realized.

"I've heard of this name. It seems that he played the role in the TV series my wife watched before.

Is this Gu Wei so popular in Japan?"

The friend nodded.

"He is very popular among young people, not inferior to Cheng Long in those days.

I heard that a movie starring him will be released in China in a few days."

The bald man understood how popular Gu Wei was after saying this, but he still shook his head.

"I think it's better for young people to like some stars from our own country. After all, he is Chinese. I won't go to see his movie."

The friend glanced at him: "I saw the promotion. The main actors of that movie are all from our country, and the heroine is Yui Aragaki."

The bald man's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Ahem, it's not impossible to look at it with a critical eye. The fact that so many young people like her must have something to recommend it. It just so happens that I haven't watched a movie for a while."

Yui Aragaki is called the "national wife" in Japan. In the media survey of the Japanese actresses who most want to marry her, Yui Aragaki ranked first.

She has a considerable reputation among Japanese otaku and middle-aged men.

Not long after, the long-awaited figure of the fans finally appeared at the exit.

The moment they saw Gu Wei, all the young men and women at the scene were boiling with excitement, bursting with unparalleled enthusiasm, and deafening screams resounded throughout the airport hall, almost breaking the roof of Tokyo Airport.

"Ahhh, Gu Wei! Gu Wei!"

"Ouni-chan is so handsome!"

"Gu Wei, I love you, I want to give birth to a baby for you!"

"."

The fans from all directions went completely crazy the moment Gu Wei appeared. Screaming loudly was not enough to release their excitement, and they rushed towards Gu Wei one by one.

Fortunately, the security of Tokyo Airport was in place. Not only was there a fence, but the uniformed security personnel also surrounded Gu Wei and his group in the middle, ensuring that no fans could touch him.

Gu Wei did not panic when he saw this situation. He was like this when he came to Tokyo last time.

Wearing sunglasses, he smiled and greeted the fans around him, saying "Hello everyone~" in Japanese, and soon walked out of the fans' encirclement and got on the nanny car that came to pick him up.

In addition to the fans who came to pick him up, there were also many local reporters who came to the airport in advance.

Some were arranged by Dongbao Co., Ltd., and some came on their own after hearing the news.

Since it was a promotional movie, Dongbao must maximize the use of resources. The promotion of the movie started from the moment Gu Wei landed.

The grand occasion of fans picking him up at Tokyo Airport quickly appeared on major Japanese entertainment media.

# The first Asian superstar has arrived in Tokyo! #

# The Emperor of Imperial Movies came to Japan to promote his new film! #

# Gu Wei came to Japan, and his super popularity broke through Tokyo Airport! #

# What kind of sparks will the Japanese national wife and the first person in the Chinese film industry collide with? #

# What kind of storm will a movie with a total box office of 120 billion yen set off in the Japanese film market? #

##

The local Japanese media usually use exaggerated headlines, but generally speaking, the reports on Gu Wei's arrival are very positive.

On the one hand, the partner Dongbao Co., Ltd. is the number one film company in Japan, and has already made arrangements with the media.

On the other hand, the filming location of [Detective Chinatown 3] is Tokyo, and most of the main characters, including the heroine, are Japanese actors. The entire plot is also very friendly to the Japanese, so it is naturally welcomed by the locals.
