China Entertainment's whatever you want

Osaka International Airport.

A plane from the country landed, and soon a small wave of people poured out of the exit.

Reba wore a milky white long down jacket, a mask and a cotton hat, wrapped herself tightly, and pushed her suitcase out.

Although she was accompanied by several staff members, no one could associate her with any popular female star by looking at her dress.

When they came out of the exit, they saw the car waiting to pick them up outside.

Walking to the black Mercedes-Benz V-Class business car in the middle, the middle door opened. Reba immediately became happy when she saw the figure waving at her from inside.

The facial expression could not be seen due to the mask, but the pair of big eyes exposed had become crescent-shaped.

She got into the car impatiently, opened her arms and threw herself into the other's arms.

"Ouch, it's so heavy, have you gained weight?"

The person who came to the airport to pick people up was Gu Wei, who was filming in Osaka. He joked while holding the slightly bloated Reba.

"what the hell!

How can I be fat?
I've been filming for the past few months and I've maintained my weight really well!

It’s winter now, so just wear thick clothes when you go out.”

Reba took off her mask and hat and said in a tender voice.

Gu Wei took a look at her clothes and said, "It's a bit thick indeed. The temperature here in Osaka is not bad. You should feel hot in this outfit."

"I flew here from Qindao, and the temperature there is just right for this.

After filming in Osaka, aren’t we going to the United States?

I checked the weather, and the temperature in New York is not high."

The two were chatting as the nanny car started driving from the airport to the crew.

"Isn't the filming of [The Wandering Earth 2] finished yet?"

“No, according to the shooting schedule, all the shooting will be completed by the end of April.

But my role is finished."

In the car, Reba hugged Gu Wei's arm and stuck close to him.

Because of filming, the two haven't seen each other for a while.

Even though she often sends WeChat messages and makes phone calls, she still misses Gu Wei very much.

"Really? Congratulations!

When The Wandering Earth 2 is released, I will definitely go and see your performance in it."

"Hehe, I acted really well, Director Guo and Teacher Li Xuejian in the crew both praised me!
And I feel that my image is more in line with the role, and it is very smooth to act."

Reba's expression is a little arrogant.

She cherishes the opportunity to star in "The Wandering Earth 2" very much. She did a lot of work for her role in advance and can be said to have given % effort during filming.

Gu Wei nodded.

"Hao Xiaoxi's character in The Wandering Earth 2 is quite good, and she has quite a few scenes, second only to Han Duoduo.

And according to the storyline, this character should appear again in the third film."

The actress who played this role in the original time and space [The Wandering Earth 2] was Zhu Yanmanzi, a little-known third- or fourth-tier actress.

Her performance was just so-so and the movie didn’t bring her much popularity after it was released.

But Reba is different.

She is very popular now and is one of the most popular female stars born in the 90s.

There is no shortage of fame and traffic, what is lacking is outstanding works.

[The Wandering Earth 2] is a sci-fi blockbuster that is sure to be a hit. As long as Reba’s acting skills are good when it is released in the future, it will naturally bring her a lot of praise.

The pursuits of celebrity actors in the entertainment industry are different at different stages.

At the beginning, I was not very famous. Everyone wanted to become an overnight sensation and a popular star with many fans.

Once they become really famous, they will think about starring in more good works or entering the film industry to improve their status.

Reba currently has no shortage of popularity and traffic, but what she lacks is the opportunity to perform in good works.

In the original time and space, she had not appeared in a movie for seven years after "Sorrow's Grocery Store", and she was also a costume idol in TV dramas.

She herself has no connections and the company can't help her in this regard. The only one who can provide her with such resources is Gu Wei.

“When do you think The Wandering Earth 2 will be released?”

Gu Wei thought for a moment and said, "The only time slots that can accommodate this film are the summer and Spring Festival.

It will definitely be too late during this year’s summer vacation, and it will take quite some time to complete post-production in April.

It will most likely be released during the Spring Festival next year."

Reba nodded, looking expectant: "Right after finishing the filming, I was already looking forward to what the effect would be after the film was released. This is my first time to shoot such a large-scale science fiction film, and the experience is completely different from the films I have filmed before!"

Gu Wei looked down at her and smiled, "Don't worry, The Wandering Earth 2 will definitely be a big hit. This series of movies is undoubtedly the top in the domestic science fiction field, and no one can compare to it!"

“There are very few domestic science fiction films, and it seems that there is nothing worth watching except The Wandering Earth.

I heard that Director Lu Chuan shot a science fiction film, which should have been finished a long time ago. I wonder why it hasn't been released yet?"

"Lu Chuan?
You mean [749th Bureau], right? "

“It seems to be called this name.”

A strange smile appeared on Gu Wei's face.

"I have heard of this movie of his and he even sent me the script."

Reba raised her head slightly and asked curiously: "What is it about?
Is the script good?

“It’s hard to comment!
The script itself has no logic and is full of loopholes.

With Lu Chuan's acting skills, I think he has the potential to surpass the low point of "Shanghai Fortress"

"You're so pessimistic?"

Gu Wei shrugged: "Just telling the truth."

The vehicle drove to the crew hotel, and Gu Wei accompanied Reba to her own room.

"Are you hungry? Get ready and change your clothes and I'll take you out for dinner."

After entering the room, Reba put her luggage aside, took off her down jacket and threw it on the sofa.

As Gu Wei turned around, he pounced on him.

"woo"

Gu Wei was not expecting this and was startled for a bit, but he immediately cooperated with Reba and started kissing her.

After they kissed for a while, Gu Wei discovered that Reba's hands were not honest. They started by hooking his neck, then moved on to touching him all over, and finally started to take off his clothes.

Gu Wei grabbed Reba's hand and said, "Stop messing around. It's daytime now. I'm going to take you out for dinner."

“I ate on the plane, I’m not hungry.

I want to eat you now."

After kissing for a while, Reba's fair face turned slightly red, and she looked at Gu Wei with a strained look in her eyes.

"When did you become so horny?"

"I've been filming for a long time and I've been tense the whole time. I finally get to see you, so of course I need to relax!"

"Am I a tool?"

Reba gently pushed Gu Wei down on the sofa, then pressed on him and breathed into his ear.

"Then do you like it?"

"certainly."

Who can refuse such a proactive Dilraba Dilmurat? It’s impossible for Gu Wei at least.

There were some minor adjustments on the first day of joining the crew, and Reba officially started filming on the second day.

In "John Wick 4", she plays Akira, the daughter of Koji Shimazu, the manager of the Osaka Continental Hotel. She is an agile and heroic female assassin who is good at cold weapons and bows and arrows.

She was originally working as a receptionist at her father's hotel, but was drawn into the fight because of her father's help to his old friend John Wick. Reba's role is not much, only two battles and a few dialogue shots.

In this movie [John Wick 4], apart from the two main actors John Wick and Lin Wei, other actors don't have many roles.

The main plot of the movie is the process of John Wick being chased and then fighting back. More than 70% of the plot is fighting.

Various gunfights and action scenes, you kill me and I kill you, either in battle or on the way to fight.

Of course, these battle scenes are also the biggest highlight of this movie.

Soon, the scenes in Osaka were completed and the crew moved to the final filming location, New York.

".I didn't expect Huang Xiaoming to get divorced. Their wedding was so grand back then, but now it has come to this."

On the private plane, Gu Wei was working on his computer, while on the other side, Reba and Yang Chaoyue were sitting together chatting.

He didn't expect that these two people could chat with each other.

"Yes, who would have thought that I was there at the wedding. The scene was so grand!" Yang Chaoyue said with some excitement.

“You were there too?

I remember Chaoyue, you debuted in [Produce 101], right? That year, Huang Xiaoming and baby had their children, right? "

Yang Chaoyue smiled awkwardly: "Didn't I work as a personal assistant for my boss for two years? He was the best man at his wedding, so naturally I, as his entourage, was also there."

Reba nodded.

Of course she knew that Yang Chaoyue used to be Gu Wei's assistant.

The other party was next to Gu Wei when filming "You Are My Glory" in 2016, and she knew Yang Chaoyue at that time.

But at that time, Reba could never have imagined that a little assistant beside Gu Wei would become a popular female star born after 95 in the future.

“People on the internet said that the two separated because of conflicts caused by changes in their status.

At the beginning, Huang Xiaoming was a big star and Baby was just a young model from Hong Kong Island. They were a strong man and a weak woman.

After the two got together, Baby's popularity soared because of the hit show "Running Man". She has steadily developed over the years and has become one of the most popular female stars in the circle.

In the past two years, Huang Xiaoming has been disliked by many audiences for being "greasy" and "daddy", and he has also starred in a series of bad movies, which has dealt a big blow to his career.

There has been a certain reversal in the identities of the two.

This may be the root cause of their divorce."

Reba spoke seriously about the analysis that she had seen from netizens, and Yang Chaoyue nodded frequently beside her.

"If it wasn't because of emotional problems, I always feel that Baby's handling of the divorce was not very authentic.

I heard that Huang Xiaoming helped her find many of her resources back then.

Now that we are rich, we will get divorced."

Yang Chaoyue said this and looked at Gu Wei: "Boss, do you know why they divorced?"

Gu Wei raised his head: "How should I know?

Although I have a good relationship with Brother Xiaoming, he would never tell me such private matters between husband and wife.

But I heard that it seemed to be because the two had some differences in financial investment.

In addition, a lot of conflicts had accumulated in the relationship, so they got divorced.

It is difficult to say who is right or wrong in this kind of emotional issue.

Since the two decided to separate and didn't say bad things about each other, it means they broke up peacefully and saved face for each other.

This is rare in the entertainment industry."

The crew shot in New York for a week and Reba finished filming.

After staying for one more day, she reluctantly said goodbye to Gu Wei.

Unlike Yang Chaoyue, Reba has much more work to do than her.

Her schedule is very full at Jiaxing, and the crew will have to start other work soon after wrapping up the filming.

After more than a week of filming, the crew of "John Wick 4" officially wrapped up.

"Gu, let me introduce you, this is Jon Fillemer, co-chairman and CEO of Lionsgate!"

"Hello, Mr. Gu, nice to meet you."

At the wrap party, producer Basil introduced the president of Lionsgate to Gu Wei.

"Hello, Mr. Felmer!"

The two shook hands and greeted each other.

“You’re welcome, just call me Jon.

We can be said to be the closest partners on the project of John Wick 4."

Gu Wei smiled and nodded.

“What do you think of this movie?”

The two chatted for a while and Jon Felmer asked.

“It’s a very exciting action film that will surely achieve impressive box office results in the global box office market!”

"Haha, I feel the same way!
I believe in director Chad and Keanu, and even more so in your appeal in the Chinese market.

I believe that the collision between you will definitely bring a super exciting film to the audience!"

The reason why Lionsgate was able to cooperate with Gu Wei was because of his strong box office appeal in the mainland film market.

In the just-concluded Spring Festival, "Watergate" won another victory. Gu Wei released two movies in half a year with a total box office of more than 15 billion US dollars. This exaggerated data is unique in Hollywood.

Hollywood movies reap global box office revenue, but if we only talk about North America, no star can compare to him.

“John Wick 4 will be very exciting, I believe that, but due to the domestic censorship system, the film still needs to pay attention to the editing.”

Faced with Jon's optimism, Gu Wei poured some cold water on him at the right time.

Because the original time and space [John Wick 4] could not be released in China due to censorship issues, although it has now been changed into a co-production and the plot has also had significant changes, this aspect must be paid attention to.

“You’re right, we do need to pay attention to this aspect.

According to the previous contract, you will also provide post-production personnel to help us determine the scale."

"no problem!"

Gu Wei nodded.

"When does Lionsgate plan to release John Wick 4?"

Jon thought about it.

“The company has discussed that [John Wick 4] is not a special effects film, so the post-production is easier and it should be completed soon.

If possible, we hope that this film can meet the audience as soon as possible."

"Summer season?"

"If possible, August to September would be a good time."

Gu Wei nodded.

"Jon, my company has mentioned my new movie to Lionsgate before. I wonder if you are interested in participating?"

Gu Wei was talking about "Extreme Rescue", which he was going to shoot in the second half of the year. He wanted Lionsgate to participate mainly because of its global distribution capabilities.

Otherwise, if it were just his own company, he could only make money by selling the products domestically, and at best could expand to Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, but there would be no chance of expanding to North America and Europe.

"This is not a trivial matter. We still need to discuss it with the company."

It is obvious that Jon is not optimistic about Gu Wei's own movies. Now that "John Wick 4" has not been released, he is not optimistic about the box office appeal of this partner in the film market outside of China.

Gu Wei smiled and didn't care.

“It’s okay, let’s talk about it after John Wick 4 is released.

Even if we don't cooperate in filming, we can still reach a distribution agreement with Lionsgate.

But if it’s just for distribution, I will also contact other Hollywood companies. It’s business, and it depends on what conditions they can offer.”

Jon laughed: "No problem, Gu, as long as [John Wick 4] is successful, [Lionsgate] will be your closest partner and will definitely give your company the best conditions" (End of this chapter)
