China Entertainment's whatever you want

Is Liu Yifei considered the "no substitute" in the domestic entertainment industry?
It’s hard to say about those born in the 00s, but most of those born in the 80s and 90s would definitely agree with this.

The Legend of Sword and Fairy, Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, and The Return of the Condor Heroes, several of her early hit TV series have earned her a deep popularity.

Classic characters such as Zhao Linger, Xiaolongnu, and Wang Yuyan have left a deep impression on a generation of audiences.

These together have made her a popular figure. Even though she later switched to the film industry and failed for many years, she still has a large number of audiences who follow and like her.

Liu Yifei became famous early and has outstanding looks. Many female artists in the circle have used the gimmick of "Little Liu Yifei" when they first debuted in order to get some traffic.

The most successful among them is Liu Shishi, who is also one of the 85 flowers.

It is said that after filming "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Sugar Man", Lao Cai tried his best to sign Liu Yifei.

However, she had already planned to enter the film industry at that time, and Liu Xiaoli also looked down on the small-scale workshop-style "Sugar Man" business.

So Cai Yinong had to settle for the second best and signed Liu Shishi, who looked and had a similar temperament to her.

When they first started promoting her debut, they also marketed her as "Little Liu Yifei", which brought Liu Shishi the first wave of attention.

Wang Churan will not be the last female star known as "Little Liu Yifei".

Liu Yifei herself doesn't care too much about this situation.

She became famous at a young age, reached the top of the mountain and also fell to the bottom of the valley. She has been loved and admired by countless people, but has also been banned and blackened by the entire Internet.

After experiencing so many things, her personality has become more open-minded and casual.

After the broadcast of "Go Where the Wind Is", many viewers felt that Liu Yifei was the "chosen Xu Hongdou".

Gu Wei also agreed with this point.

He really couldn't think of any other female star in the entertainment industry who was more suitable for this role than Liu Yifei.

Yang Mi? Jing Tian? Tang Yan?

Or is it Liu Shishi, who is known as "Little Liu Yifei"?
They may not be much less famous and beautiful than Liu Yifei, but they lack that lazy temperament.

Da Mimi looks too smart, Jingtian is even more beautiful, and Tang Yan looks like a naive and innocent girl with no worries.

When Liu Shishi was young, she was somewhat similar to Liu Yifei, but as they grew older, their temperaments went to two completely different extremes.

Liu Yifei is like a pearl, polished by time to a round luster that is not dazzling.

Liu Shishi is like a plum blossom in the snow, cold, aloof, and yet revealing a faint sense of fatigue.

The night was as cool as water, but the hotel room was bustling with activity.

Just as Liu Yifei wished, Gu Wei helped her consume a large amount of calories in the most primitive way, so that she didn't have to worry about consuming too much sugar.

"How do you stay in such good shape?
I have known you for more than ten years and you have always been so nice.

I haven't seen you exercise much, and you never restrict your diet when we eat together.

What’s the secret?”

After the exercise, Liu Yifei, who had recovered some strength, lay beside Gu Wei, with one hand on his chest, and her slender fingers playfully stroking it.

"Gifted~"

"Hehe, I don't believe you."

Liu Yifei didn't believe what Gu Wei said at all.

She knew that some people had special physiques and could never gain weight no matter how much they ate, but Gu Wei was not simply thin. Instead, he had a well-proportioned body with distinct muscles, which could be seen from long-term hard training.

“When I first started filming, I never worried about my figure, and I didn’t deliberately control my diet or exercise, but I never gained weight.

It’s not possible now. If I don’t have time to shoot movies in the past two years, I will gain weight very quickly.”

"You're not fat. You seem a little thinner than when we met last year."

Gu Wei hugged Liu Yifei with one arm behind her back. His big hand stroked her slender waist without feeling any excess fat.

"I went to the gym to get in shape two months before filming our drama, so of course I don't look fat now."

"If you were photographed by the media when you were not working, and netizens said that you had gained weight, would you deliberately lose weight?" Gu Wei asked curiously.

“Not working, that won’t happen.

Unless I want to do something, I won’t do it just because of comments from netizens, and the same goes for losing weight! ”

Gu Wei smiled and said, "I guess so. Among the female celebrities in the domestic entertainment industry, you are the only one who doesn't care about other people's opinions."

“It’s not that I don’t care, I just care about the audience’s evaluation of my work.

Just like when I was making movies in the past, I would still be sad if people said they were not good after they were released.

As for other aspects, I really don't care much.

You know, there was a period of time when there were a lot of negative comments about me on the Internet.
Because I was young at that time, I was very sad for a while.

Later, after a long period of recuperation and self-comfort, I finally got out of that low period.

But I have grown up since then and have learned to focus on my own life and career and ignore other people's comments."

Of course Gu Wei knew what she was talking about.

Liu Yifei was a rookie at that time. She became famous at a young age thanks to several hit TV series and was the talk of the town.

When she was preparing to enter the film industry, the then domestic film and television giant Huayi Brothers extended an olive branch.

Huayi wanted to sign Liu Yifei, a rising star, and took the initiative to find her and showed the utmost sincerity, allowing her to play the leading role in Huayi's new movie The Forbidden Kingdom.

You should know that this is the first movie where two kung fu superstars, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, appear on the same stage.

At that time, it was definitely the top resource in the entertainment industry.

Liu Xiaoli, who had been in charge of Liu Yifei's agency, was very tempted and immediately took the job on behalf of her daughter. However, she did not agree to sign the contract right away, but said she would wait until the movie was finished and released.

Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang of Huayi did not care. In their opinion, since the other party accepted their good intentions, the contract was a foregone conclusion.

As a result, the "Forbidden Kingdom" project ended, and when "Huayi" went to find Liu Yifei again, Liu Xiaoli told them that her daughter had signed with a Hollywood agency.

Feeling that they had been fooled, the two Huayi Wangs were furious.

As a result, Huayi banned Liu Yifei. Since then, all kinds of negative news about her have been flying around, such as changing her age, plastic surgery, being kept by someone, etc.

The most exaggerated thing is that Song Moude publicly said that Liu Yifei is a transgender.

This kind of news, which anyone with a little common sense would know was a rumor, was made up with details at the time, and many netizens actually believed it.

It was also from that time that Liu Yifei was out of work for two whole years and her life fell into a trough.

“The past is the past after all. Looking back now, whether good or bad, they are all nutrients for your growth.

And now you are obviously getting better and better, the boat has sailed through thousands of mountains!"

Feeling that Liu Yifei was feeling a little low, Gu Wei comforted her in a gentle voice.

“It happened a long, long time ago, and I don’t care about it anymore.

Thinking about it now, the setbacks at that time might not have been a bad thing for me.

We actors must have a certain amount of life experience. If everything goes smoothly all the time, I would find it difficult to understand many emotions.

And after that incident, I really grew up a lot, and I felt that I went from being a naive child to a mature person in a short time."

Liu Yifei spoke with a smile on her face, her words full of open-mindedness.

"It's an upgrade, from Sissi to the complete form of Sissi!" Gu Wei joked.

"Haha, I guess so.

People always need to grow, and experiencing setbacks is a catalyst for growth."

"So when we first met to film 'The Blade of the Assassin', the one I knew was already a mature version of you?" Gu Wei lowered his head slightly and looked at Liu Yifei in his arms.

"I guess so, why, are you disappointed?" "How could that be?
I have always felt that our personalities are very compatible, otherwise how could we have been friends for so many years."

"Haha, you guy, I think any beautiful girl will be compatible with your personality."

Liu Yifei curled her lips in disdain.

She has been good friends with Gu Wei for more than ten years. She knows how outstanding Gu Wei is, and she also knows how unfaithful he is.

"How is that possible, unless all beauties are as beautiful as you, Sissi"

Gu Wei has already maxed out the skill of making girls happy.

"Isn't Wang Churan, the heroine of your film [The Wind Chaser], known as the "Little Liu Yifei"? In your eyes, is she also a beauty of the same level as me?"

Liu Yifei did not let Gu Wei go and casually mentioned Wang Churan, whom they had talked about.

Gu Wei nodded slightly and pondered for a moment.

“It’s just that netizens said she looks like it.

But I think that being just three-tenths like you is already the most beautiful thing in the world."

After saying this, Liu Yifei did not respond immediately, but the slightly raised corners of her mouth showed her good mood.

So even though Liu Yifei knew from the beginning that Gu Wei was a playboy, she still fell for him unconsciously.

It is great to have such a friend around you, who is top-notch in terms of figure, appearance, and wealth. He is also very easy to talk to and can give you full emotional value from time to time.

Who can refuse such a friend?

Not to mention that Liu Yifei already had a physiological liking for Gu Wei.

[Storm Chaser] exploded!
On the first day of its launch, CCTV-2.46 had a peak viewership rating of 12.68, with a market share of %, firmly sitting on the throne of ratings champion in the same period.

Then, as the series aired, the various data of "Storm Chasers" continued to rise.

One week after its launch, the TV series achieved a peak audience rating of 3.48, with a market share of 18.27%, officially surpassing the most popular TV series at the beginning of the year, "The World", becoming the TV series with the highest broadcast data on Taiwan since the beginning of the year.

In terms of online platforms, the popularity of the first broadcast of "The Wind Chaser" on iQiyi exceeded 28.6, and the popularity of the first broadcast on Tencent Video exceeded , with the market share of the two platforms reaching %.

In addition to the explosive viewing data, there were also many discussions about the TV series after the broadcast of "Storm Chasers".

During the first week since the TV series was aired, it received a total of 105 hot searches on the entire Internet, an average of 15 searches per day.

The total number of readings of #【风追者】顾伟＆魏若来# has exceeded 7 billion in just 12 days!
While the TV series’ statistics exploded, the reputation of “Storm Chasers” was also very high.

On Douban, 18 people gave it a high score of 8.6, and there were countless reviews praising the TV series.

[I was very surprised. As a fan of spy war dramas, I have watched almost all the excellent spy war dramas on the market, from "The Disguiser" to "The Disguiser" and "The Kite".

I originally thought that Gu Wei's drama was also an idol drama disguised as a spy drama like Li Yifeng's "Sparrow", but "Wind Chasers" gave me a great surprise!
This drama is different from traditional spy war dramas. It takes the financial perspective as its entry point, which is very novel, as if no one has ever filmed it this way before.

The plot is well-written and reasonable, and the actors' performances are also very exciting. Overall, it is a very good spy drama! 】

[I watched more than ten episodes and found this drama very surprising!

Gu Wei's acting skills are impeccable. He portrayed Wei Ruolai's frustration as a person who came from a low-class background and was forced to be humble very naturally.

Jin Dong's acting is much more restrained compared to other dramas, without the greasy feeling of middle-aged age.

The supporting actors with lines in the play are all familiar actors, and the overall completion is very good! 】

[My brother's first spy drama, it's super good, the heroine is also very beautiful, the two of them are very well matched, support support!!!]

[Super good-looking! Those who are obsessed with looks or plots can buy it with confidence. Full star recommendation!

The hero Wei Ruolai fights monsters and levels up all the way from a fledgling hot-blooded boy, the plot is super exciting! 】

[The last time I saw such a good main-theme historical TV series was "Awakening Age".

The story is perfect, the approach is novel, the actors are very good-looking, the acting is online, the quality of the TV series is very good, and many times I feel like I'm watching a movie! 】

[Gu Wei + spy war drama + main theme = big hit!]

After watching more than a dozen episodes, it is similar to Gu Wei’s previous dramas. There is no doubt that "Storm Chasers" started off well after it was released!

First of all, Gu Wei's own appeal played a part, and then the quality of this TV series was really high, even among a large number of high-quality spy war dramas, it could occupy a place! 】

[The story is very novel. In addition to the entry point, the protagonist's growth line is also the most attractive part.

When Wei Ruolai first appeared, he was not a member of our party, and later he even went to work for the Kuomintang.

On the contrary, the heroine is an underground party member as soon as she appears on the stage.

Looking forward to the male protagonist's future growth! 】

[This heroine looks familiar, but she is really beautiful, a daughter of a wealthy family in the Republic of China, and also a hidden member of our party. When she is in the same frame with Gu Wei, she is really a perfect match! ]

[The actor who plays Shen Jinzhen is Wang Churan, who previously played Sang Wen in "Celebrating Yu Nian 2". She is a new actor and this is her second time working with Gu Wei.]

[When "Storm Chasers" was first filmed, there were news reports that Wang Churan must have an extraordinary background. For a newcomer to play the leading role in Gu Wei's TV series is an opportunity that many female stars in the entertainment industry envy.

Is there any well-informed bigwig who can tell me who is supporting this person? 】

[I don’t know about other things, but Wang Churan’s looks are really top-notch. He and Gu Wei, who is known for his divine looks, look surprisingly compatible in the same frame.

And her acting is really good, she has the temperament of a young lady from the Republic of China! 】

".Where are you?"

"Hotel, shooting for Bazaar magazine cover in Xiamen."

In the hotel room at night, Gu Wei and Wang Churan had a video call.

The two of them have a live broadcast tonight to promote "Storm Chasers".

The time hasn't come yet, so the two of them have a video chat first.

“You seem to be quite busy lately.”

“Very busy. After the broadcast of “Storm Chasers”, I received many job offers, including cover shoots for fashion magazines and invitations for commercial endorsements.

And many crews sent me scripts and asked me to act in them."

On the other side of the camera, Wang Churan had a happy look on his face, with a visible excitement.

The popularity of "Storm Chasers" has greatly helped her, and it has brought her huge traffic before the TV series was even finished.

"Congratulations, it's finally you choosing others instead of others choosing you.

In the film and television industry, this is a very important step, proving that you are now really famous!"

Gu Wei said with a smile.

Wang Churan was a little embarrassed: "My popularity is far behind yours, Brother Wei, and my current achievements are all thanks to your help.

Are you filming on the set now?"

“Yes, in Dali, Yunnan.”

"Can I come visit you in the next few days when I have time?"

Wang Churan missed Gu Wei a little, but more importantly, he wanted to maintain a good relationship with him.

She has tasted the taste of being famous, and now wants to be more famous and stay famous.

To achieve these two points, it seems that there is no hope on my own and I have to rely on Gu Wei.

"Okay, I've been filming on the set recently, but the heroine of my drama is Liu Yifei. Are you sure you want to come?" Gu Wei asked with a smile.

"It doesn't matter if Liu Yifei, I don't even know her."

Wang Churan said this, thinking of the press release he saw yesterday about him being "highly matched with Liu Yifei", and he instantly lost confidence. (End of this chapter)
