Huayu is free to do as you like

After the roadshow, Gu Wei did not rest.

The promotion of [Life Events] has come to an end for the time being, but [Joy of Life 2] is about to be launched, and Gu Wei will also participate in some necessary promotional activities.

He first flew to Changsha to meet with Jing Tian to record an episode of [Happy Camp] together, and then the two of them went to Chang'an without stopping to attend the launch conference held by Tengxun Video for [Joy of Life 2].

It was already evening when the plane landed, and the group checked into the hotel first.

The press conference will be held at the famous local attraction Datang Furong Garden tomorrow morning.

As the ancient capital of 13 dynasties, Chang'an is definitely one of the cities with the most profound history in China, and many ancient buildings with a long history are preserved in the city.

Located within the historic Ming Dynasty city wall, in the prosperous area of ​​the city center, adjacent to the solemn and simple bell tower, the Sofitel Legend Hotel is one of the longest-running hotels in Chang'an.

This top hotel was built in 1953 and is an important place for receiving heads of state and dignitaries from various countries.

Built by the chief designer of the Northwest Design Institute, it takes advantage of the magnificent momentum and excellent geographical location of the royal palace ruins, and integrates the elegance and refinement of Sino-French classical architecture. The building uses a large number of French national flowers, irises, as the main elements to highlight the strong French style.

It is the fifth Sofitel Legend Hotel in the world, the first in China and the second in Asia under the French Accor Group.

In addition to the exotic and historical appearance, the hotel's interior is also very luxurious.

Its top suite is called "Chang'an Suite", with an area of ​​188 square meters. In addition to the layout and facilities that the presidential suite of a top hotel should have, there is also a large balcony. Standing on it and looking down, you can see the beautiful scenery of Chang'an City.

As night falls, the Chang'an Suite of the Sofitel Legend Hotel.

The living room is brightly lit. Gu Wei sits at the desk in the work area with a laptop in front of him. He stares at the screen with concentration and taps the keyboard from time to time.

The room is relatively quiet. In addition to the sound of the keyboard, you can vaguely hear the sound of running water from the bathroom.

After a while, the bathroom door was opened from the inside, and a beautiful figure stepped out on the soft carpet.

She was wearing a loose pink nightgown with a short skirt, and a pair of round and slender legs, which was extremely eye-catching.

Her black hair, which had just been blown dry, was scattered on one side of her chest, and her snow-white skin seemed to be glowing under the indoor lights.

Walking to Gu Wei's side with a pair of long legs, Jing Tian leaned on the armrest on one side of the chair, and a white arm was around him.

"I really don't understand why Teng Xun decided to hold the launch conference of our drama in Chang'an?"

After typing a line of text, Gu Wei reached out and hugged Jing Tian's slender waist.

"Tengxun should have reached a cooperation with the Chang'an Cultural and Tourism Bureau.

As the ancient capital of 13 dynasties, Chang'an has rich historical, cultural and tourism resources and many tourists.

Holding the launch conference here can, on the one hand, attract more audiences to participate, and take advantage of Chang'an's tourism popularity to improve the publicity effect and increase the exposure and influence of the series.

On the other hand, it can also take advantage of the popularity of [Joy of Life 2] to further promote the development of Chang'an's tourism and cultural industries and achieve a deep integration of film and television with tourism.

It can be said to be a win-win situation."

Da Tiantian nodded, stretched out her white arms to take the fruit plate behind the notebook, picked up the grapes on it and ate them, and fed Gu Wei by the way.

"What are you busy with?"

She asked, looking at the notebook screen in front of her.

"I have some inspiration recently. I will write it down when I have time. I will make an outline of the script first, so that I can find a professional screenwriter to write it later."

"What script, movie or TV series?"

After hearing what Gu Wei said, Jing Tian asked curiously.

"Movie, an action movie.

Didn't I take the role of John Wick 4 before? I got some inspiration when I was revising the script."

"Is your script related to that movie?"

Gu Wei nodded, picked up Da Tiantian and put her on his lap.

"Do you still remember the name of the character I played in Wolf Warrior 2?"

"I think it's Lin Wei?"

"Yes, in the plot of John Wick 4, my character has the same name."

Jing Tian turned his head and looked at Gu Wei in surprise: "You want to connect the two movies?

But what does it have to do with the new script you are writing now?"

Gu Wei smiled and said: "It's not clear whether the Wolf Warrior series and the John Wick series can interact in the future. I just provided a possibility.

As for the script I am writing now, it is still a play with "Lin Wei" as the protagonist."

Jing Tian looked at Gu Wei and waited for him to continue.

"In the story of John Wick 4, Lin Wei's storyline first fights against Keanu Reeves, and then they work together to fight the villain.

The reason for the two people's confrontation is that the villain kidnapped Lin Wei's sister and threatened him to do something.

Later, I thought, why not just extract this plot and make a special story about Lin Wei rescuing his sister."

Jing Tian reacted immediately after hearing what he said.

"[Taken]?"

Gu Wei smiled: "Similar"

"Is this plot too old-fashioned?" Jing Tian was a little skeptical.

"There are many movies with rescue as the main plot, and the stories are similar. It mainly depends on the details of the plot and how the action scenes are shot.

I set the location of this story in northern Myanmar, and the villain is a fraud group there.

The protagonist's sister accidentally wandered into a dangerous place while traveling abroad and was controlled by a fraud group.

Then the protagonist went from China to carry out extreme rescue, and while saving people, he eliminated the fraud den in one fell swoop.”

Yes, one of the reasons why Gu Wei wrote this script was to capitalize on the popularity of anti-fraud in the future.

"Desperate" has a box office of 3.8 billion not because of how good the movie is, but because it accurately hits the anti-fraud points in northern Myanmar that makes it so popular.

However, Gu Wei was not interested in the plot of "All or Nothing". That movie was an excellent anti-fraud propaganda film, but as a movie it can only be said to be passable.

The most interesting and exciting character in the film is actually the villain played by Wang Chuanjun. As the protagonist, Zhang Yixing has no highlights at all.

After he starred in a movie that grossed 3.8 billion at the box office, his status and popularity have barely improved, which shows how little attention he has as the protagonist.

[All or Nothing] The plot mainly focuses on how ordinary people are deceived, how overseas fraud groups operate, and how miserable those who are controlled are. The subsequent plot of solving the fraud group and rescuing the kidnapped people seems very sloppy and a bit anticlimactic. meaning.

The story of Gu Wei's movie will also describe the "evil" of the fraud group, but it will mainly focus on his rescue of his sister. Shooting and fighting scenes are the focus, which is much more enjoyable than "Desperate".

More similar to [Wolf Warrior] and [Operation Mekong].

"When is this movie going to be shot?" Jingtian asked.

"It's early, the script hasn't been finished yet.

I also had to find a director who was good at action movies, after all, action scenes are the essence of this movie. "Gu Wei thought for a while.

"Next year at the earliest, I hope to finish filming in 2022 and release it in 23."

"Um, are you also planning to make this movie into a series?"

Gu Wei was quite surprised and hugged Jingtian's slim waist tightly: "Tiantian is very smart, I do have this idea.

I plan to bring in [Lionsgate Pictures] for this movie and add a Western face to the villain camp.

When it is released, it will be released globally through [Lionsgate] channels.

Of course, it must be after [John Wick 4] is released.

If that movie is a hit, then this one will have free advertising and the chances of it being a hit will be high.

After all, it’s the same worldview, and the characters in it are all the same.”

"You are so ambitious. You actually want to make a domestic action film with a purely Chinese protagonist a global hit!" Jingtian was also shocked by Gu Wei's idea.

"This is not without precedent. The movies starring Cheng Long and Li Lianhe were also able to sell well around the world.

There has always been a market for Chinese Kung Fu, but now there are no international Kung Fu superstars recognized by audiences in other countries.

Of course, in the end, it depends on the reputation and box office of [John Wick 4]. If that movie doesn’t work, then my solo film will only be released in China.”

Gu Wei spread his hands and said.

His idea is very good. If it becomes popular all over the world, if he takes a step back, he can sell it well in China. No matter what, he will make money.

The only concession that had to be made was to get [Lionsgate] on board.

Because of the domestic market, this movie is 100% profitable, and letting Lionsgate come in to share the profits is also for the other party's global distribution channels.

Gu Wei's idea of ​​making a series of films can also ensure that [Lionsgate] will do its best to distribute the film in North America and other places.

Because once the box office in other countries besides the domestic market, especially North America, is not satisfactory, [Lionsgate] as a partner will lose value, and subsequent films will be kicked out. I believe the other party also understands this.

"What about your sister's role in the script?" Jingtian asked tentatively.

"I must choose the same actor as in [John Wick 4]. I have already selected Yang Chaoyue from my company." Gu Wei understood what Da Tiantian meant and answered directly.

Jingtian was slightly disappointed: "What's the name of this movie?"

Gu Wei thought for a moment: "We have tentatively decided on [Extreme Rescue], and we will change it if appropriate in the future."

The next morning.

The beautiful Tang Furong Garden is crowded with people. A huge stage is placed in front of the gate tower of the Furong Garden. On the background wall behind it are written the words "Celebrate the next year and meet you again". Above it are the four small characters of Tengxun Video and logo.

After the opening performance, under the host's announcement, Gu Wei, who was wearing a custom-made black suit, and Jing Tian, ​​who was wearing an exquisite white tight dress, took the stage first.

As soon as the two men appeared, deafening cheers erupted from the scene.

"After more than a year, we finally have the reunion of [Qing Yu Nian]. I would like to ask Gu Wei, will Fan Xian perform any differently in the second season? Are there any advancements or surprises? "

After a brief introduction to the two, the host began to ask questions.

"Fan Xian in the second season is even more determined, because at the end of the first season he has realized that he is just a pawn for others, which is contrary to his original intention of coming to this world.

He doesn't want to be someone else's pawn.

Under such a premise, Fan Xian in the second season is more proactive, trying to get himself out of the chessboard and become a chess player." Gu Wei picked up the microphone and talked.

"What about Tiantian? How will our drumstick girl perform differently in the second season?" After he said this, the host turned the topic to Jingtian.

"Elin Wan'er's life trajectory has changed a lot in the second part. In the first part, she met the most important person in her life, and in the second part, she experienced the most important thing in her life!

What exactly it is will be discovered in the drama.” Jing Tian was obviously talking about the wedding of Fan Xian and Lin Wan’er, but she kept it a secret.

After the two answered some questions, other actors who came to the scene under the arrangement of the host appeared one after another.

Today’s launch conference attaches great importance to the platform, and almost all the main actors in [Celebrating Yu Nian 2] were invited.

There were indeed many people present, including several princes, Fan Xian’s adoptive parents, and other main supporting actors. Even those who didn’t have time recorded a blessing video and played it on the big screen for the audience.

“Brother Wei!”

After coming down from the stage, Wang Churan, wearing a black suspender dress, came to Gu Wei to say hello.

“I didn’t expect you to come too”

Gu Wei just saw Wang Churan, but it was too far away to talk.

“I don’t have anything to do recently. These days, I have been in Hengdian [The Wind Chaser] crew preparing for the drama we are about to start.

I will go back after flying here to attend the launch conference.

By the way, congratulations to Brother Wei on the big sale of [Life Events].

I went to the cinema to watch this movie. It was so good that I shed a lot of tears.

I also promoted it for you on Weibo, but unfortunately I don’t have many fans.”

Wang Churan, who hadn’t seen Gu Wei for a long time, was very excited to see him and chattered a lot.

“Thank you for your support. Let’s follow each other on Weibo later.”

Wang Churan nodded slightly and grinned with his signature smile.

“Brother Wei, when will you join the crew?

According to the date we set before, our drama will start shooting in a few days.”

“If nothing unexpected happens, I will go to Hengdian after I finish my work in Chang’an.”

Wang Churan was a little surprised: “Then can I go with you?”

Gu Wei thought for a while: “Wait for my call, I will have someone contact you later. "

In theory, it's OK to take Wang Churan with you, as they are both going back to Hengdian.

However, Gu Wei has been with Jing Tian these days. If he leaves Chang'an, Da Tiantian will still be with him, so it would be inconvenient to take Wang Churan with him.

Although the girl has been very sensible since they met, Gu Wei never takes such a risk.

"Okay, Brother Wei, I'll wait for your letter."

The two chatted for a few more words, and Wang Churan happily returned to his seat.

"Are you familiar with that little girl?" Gu Wei returned to the guest seat in the audience, and Jing Tian, ​​who had returned earlier, asked.

"Wang Churan, in addition to our play, she is also the heroine of my next TV series."

"Is she a newcomer signed by your company? "Jing Tian was a little surprised. It's not something that ordinary female stars can do to play the leading role in Gu Wei's drama.

Either the top female stars in the circle, or the artists under Gu Wei.

This female artist named Wang Churan is obviously not famous at present.

Gu Wei understood what Jing Tian meant and shook his head: "She is an artist under [Yuekai Entertainment].

On the one hand, she was able to play in my drama because of Jia Shikai's face, and on the other hand, she was more suitable and passed the director's audition."

"Is that so?" Jing Tian nodded thoughtfully.

After nearly two hours of busy work, after the guests took a group photo, the premiere of [Celebrating Yu Nian 2] officially came to an end. (End of this chapter)
