China Entertainment's whatever you want

In the afternoon, after working for most of the day, Gu Wei finished signing the last document he had on hand, stretched, and glanced at the time.

He has plans to have dinner with someone, and it's almost time for him to leave.

He called his assistant over and gave him some instructions, then got up to change his clothes.

Not long after, a black Rolls-Royce slowly drove out of the parking lot entrance of the [Weiming Tianxia] office building.

"Look, isn't that Phantom that just came out Gu Wei's car?"

A slightly old white Hyundai was parked on the side of the road opposite the office building. The person sitting in the passenger seat was wearing a gray vest and holding a camera; it was easy to tell what he did at a glance.

He kept staring at the entrance of the [Weiming Tianxia] building and the parking lot exit, occasionally taking out the camera hanging around his neck to take a few photos.

Suddenly seeing a black luxury car drive out, he immediately alerted his companion.

"That's right, it's Gu Wei's car!"
He seems to have been in the capital these past few days. Should we follow him and see where he's going?

The other man in the driver's seat, dressed similarly, also perked up at this moment, craned his neck to stare at the Rolls-Royce that had driven out, and immediately started the car.

These two are undoubtedly paparazzi.

As for why they were staking out outside Gu Wei's company, it's not hard to understand.

【Wei Ming Tian Xia】As the top media company in the Chinese entertainment industry today, it has many top-tier celebrities under its wing. With celebrities constantly coming and going from its office buildings, paparazzi will naturally be staking out the area.

As long as you can take a picture of a celebrity, no matter what they're doing, you can always make up some news.

Especially the photos of Gu Wei, the boss of [Wei Ming Tian Xia], are something that many paparazzi desperately want to see but can't get.

Nowadays, many celebrities' work schedules are very transparent. At the beginning of each month, their management companies or studios will post the artists' work schedules and plans on their official social media accounts.

According to the schedule, it shouldn't be difficult to get a photo of the celebrity in person.

This is a win-win situation: the media can easily photograph celebrities and publish related news, and the celebrities also gain exposure and can maintain their popularity.

Of course, fans can also see their idols more easily on various online channels, and some even go out to support them in person according to their schedules.

However, Gu Wei is different.

He stopped disclosing his work schedule several years ago.

Not only do they not disclose their schedules to the public, but their daily activities are also kept secret, and their team members have all signed confidentiality agreements.

Aside from events where the organizers proactively revealed that, normally the media and fans rarely know where he is or what he is doing.

This makes Gu Wei's private photos and leaked photos even more precious.

A black Rolls-Royce drove on the streets of Beijing, and the surrounding vehicles unconsciously kept a certain distance from it.

Although it's not a flashy supercar, its luxurious and sleek body lines and prominent logo keep discerning ordinary car owners at bay.

Not long after, outside a restaurant that was somewhat well-known in Beijing.

The Rolls-Royce stopped, the rear door opened, and a tall, slender figure wearing a mask got out and entered the store surrounded by several entourage members.

"Did you get a picture? Is it Gu Wei himself?"

A white Hyundai stopped not far away, and the driver looked in the direction of the Rolls-Royce and asked somewhat anxiously.

The passenger in the front seat was still taking pictures with a camera: "Got it, got it!"

Although he was wearing a mask, judging from his figure and attire, it was definitely Gu Wei.

The camera shutter kept clicking, and the main subject quickly disappeared from the frame.

What's our next step?

"What else can we do but wait here?" The person taking the photo put down his camera and checked the photos he had just taken.

"Gu Wei is most likely out for dinner because he has an appointment with someone."

We'll just wait here and see if we can capture any useful photos.

The most important thing in our line of work is patience.

"Yeah, if we manage to get some big scoops, we'll be set for life!"
This is Gu Wei!

The paparazzi in the driver's seat looked younger and seemed a little agitated.

The more famous and well-known a celebrity is, the higher the value of news related to them.

Gu Wei's status and fame in the entertainment industry are at the very top, almost unmatched by anyone. He also has a huge fan base. In addition, he has been living a more secluded life in the past two years, making news about him even more valuable.

Just in case, let's just say they manage to take some photos of Gu Wei with other girls, along with some ambiguous speculations, it wouldn't be enough to blow up the internet, but it would easily top the trending search list.

Although Gu Wei has been involved in numerous scandals since his debut, netizens and fans still love watching this.

Just as the two were looking forward to a bright future and thinking about getting a big scoop and a promotion and a raise, a lot of people came and went from the restaurant.

The paparazzi in the passenger seat kept his camera pointed towards the door, snapping photos as if afraid of missing the key person.

"Look at this black Mercedes! Isn't that a female celebrity who got out of the car wearing a brown coat?"

"Wearing a mask and hat, I couldn't recognize her at first, but her temperament and figure are really good, she could very well be a female celebrity!"
She arrived shortly after Gu Wei entered the restaurant; perhaps it was pre-arranged.

"She looks so familiar, that figure and hairstyle."

The paparazzi kept pressing the shutter button while muttering to themselves.

"Holy crap, it's Liu Yifei!" he suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed.

At this moment, the colleague next to her, who was looking down at her phone to check, also looked up: "I checked the license plate number, and that black Mercedes-Benz is indeed Liu Yifei's nanny car."

It was Liu Yifei who got off the bus!

The two looked at each other, both excited, their eyes filled with surprise.

"There's no doubt about it, Gu Wei and Liu Yifei are on a date in private!"

"It's definitely going to be a trending topic!"

"What do we do next?" the paparazzi in the driver's seat asked, trying to calm his excited emotions.

"wait!

The two have collaborated many times and have been the subject of numerous rumors before.

While a simple date involving a meal is a popular topic, it's not exactly breaking news.

Let's see if we can capture some exciting moments after they finish eating, like holding hands or hugging.

"Should we try to get into the restaurant and look for an opportunity?"

The paparazzi with the camera shook their heads.

"Didn't you see that there were several people around Gu Wei?"

His security team is very well-known in the industry, making it difficult to find any loopholes. Even if we got into the restaurant, we wouldn't be able to get close to his private room.

"What if the two of them just have a simple meal together and can't take any intimate photos?"

"Are you stupid? When big stars of their caliber have a private dinner, a man and a woman alone in a room, and they've even worked together several times before and had rumors of a romance, what will netizens think? What will fans think?"
If we can't get solid evidence, can't we at least make something up?

Of course, this isn't fabrication; it's a reasonable guess based on facts.

Whether it's true or not doesn't matter, as long as netizens like watching it.

While the two paparazzi in the car were figuring out how to use the photos they had taken to create a big news story, Gu Wei and Liu Yifei, who arrived later, were leisurely eating and chatting in a private room at the restaurant.

The date between the two was arranged long before the Golden Rooster Awards ended. Gu Wei contacted Liu Yifei, who was still in Beijing, as soon as he returned from New Zealand.

"Congratulations! After winning the Feitian Award for Best Actor, you've now won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor twice."

You've won every major award in the domestic film and television industry!

The private room was decorated in a classic and distinctive style. The dining table was not very large, but it was set with several dishes, each in small portions but very exquisite.

Liu Yifei sat next to Gu Wei. After taking off her coat, she wore a light blue V-neck sweater underneath. Her long, wavy hair cascaded down one shoulder, revealing her fair and slender neck to Gu Wei.

"Just lucky."

To be honest, I didn't expect the Feitian Awards to give me the Best Actor award.

This year's competition is fierce, with "Mountains and Seas," "Awakening Era," and "Meritorious Service" all being highly acclaimed and rated dramas.

【The Wind Chaser】only had some advantages in terms of popularity and broadcast performance.

As for the Golden Rooster Awards, the probability of winning it twice is not high to begin with.

"It's all thanks to the judges' high regard for us."

Gu Wei smiled modestly.

Liu Yifei raised an eyebrow after hearing his words: "Your modesty is a bit hypocritical."

Speaking of luck, you've had such good luck winning awards since your debut.

At such a young age, he has already achieved a grand slam in the domestic TV drama field, and the Golden Rooster Award has awarded him the Best Actor award twice.

"It's a pity that you fell out with the Golden Horse Awards back then, otherwise you probably could have won the grand slam of the 'Triple Crown' Best Actor awards in Chinese-language cinema."

"Haha, there's nothing to regret. I've always believed that everything happens for a reason!"

Besides, I made the decision myself back then, and I've never regretted it!

"By the way, congratulations to Sisi on winning the Golden Lotus Award for Best Actress recently!"

The awards at the Macau International Television Festival are also known as the Golden Lotus Awards. In mid-month, Liu Yifei won the Best Actress award at the 13th Macau International Television Festival for her role in "Dream Record".

"I watched the video online, and the light blue dress she wore at the awards ceremony was beautiful and stunning!"

Many netizens commented that the "Fairy Sister" still exudes an ethereal beauty!

Gu Wei's praise made Liu Yifei a little embarrassed: "Oh, not at all! I'm so old, calling myself a fairy sister is an understatement. I'm more like a fairy auntie!"

Time never defeats a beauty.

I was attracted to her because of her good looks, but she was attracted to me because I'm a beautiful woman.

In a few years, if I'm still a great beauty, will other people still be doing well?

"You said it yourself," Gu Wei teased.

"What? Those are Xu Hongdou's lines," Liu Yifei said coquettishly.

"Regardless of whether it's a line or not, I think it's most fitting for you to say it. Once 'The Wind Rises' is released, the audience will definitely agree!"

The entertainment industry is never short of beautiful women, and popular female stars are all stunning beauties, each with their own unique charm.

But if we were to rate the looks of female celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry, no matter who were to rate them, Liu Yifei would definitely be in the top tier.

She debuted early and has been active on screen from "Bai Xiuzhu" in "The Story of a Noble Family" to "Zhao Pan'er" in "Dream of the Red Chamber". She can be said to have been beautiful since childhood.

Even though she has been criticized by netizens for gaining weight in the past two years due to some photos, she is still radiantly beautiful in real life.

Her slightly plump figure has a graceful and elegant feel, and it has a wonderful texture.

Anyway, Gu Wei thought it was great. Compared to those female celebrities who made themselves skinny to look good on camera, he preferred this type.

In actual testing, the experience was fantastic!
The two were eating and chatting jokingly when suddenly there was a knock on the door of the private room.

"Come in~"

Gu Wei called out, and his personal assistant pushed open the door, walked to his side, and whispered something in his ear.

Seeing this, Liu Yifei didn't say anything and quietly picked up some food to eat.

After the assistant finished speaking, Gu Wei nodded slightly and waved his hand, signaling the other person to leave.

After the door to the private room closed, Liu Yifei asked with some curiosity, "Do you have something urgent to take care of?"

Gu Wei picked up a stir-fried shrimp and put it in his mouth, saying nonchalantly, "It's nothing serious. My security team discovered paparazzi taking pictures around the restaurant."

"I see~" Liu Yifei nodded slightly, without any surprise on her face.

Having been in the industry for so many years, she is used to paparazzi taking photos of her without her consent.

Moreover, she and Gu Wei had been rumored to be dating before, especially when "How Long Will I Love U" was released, the two worked together, and there were too many fans who shipped them as a couple.

"Want to come sit at my place for a while after dinner?" Gu Wei invited.

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at him: "You just said there were paparazzi, aren't you afraid of being photographed?"

Gu Wei shrugged: "So what if they took the picture? It's not like we haven't been photographed before."

"It just so happens that the drama 'Where the Wind Blows' is about to air, so this wave of rumors is just a way to generate buzz for the show."

Although the boss didn't care, now that Gu Wei's security team had discovered the paparazzi's presence, they would definitely prevent them from taking any more useful photos.

After dinner, Gu Wei took Liu Yifei back to their mansion in the Embassy No. 1 Courtyard.

Having not seen each other for a long time, the two quickly engaged in a deep conversation after returning home, without exchanging many words.

After a thoroughly enjoyable workout, the two took a bath together.

Emerging from the bathroom, Liu Yifei's face was still flushed. She wore a white bathrobe, the V-neck of which hung loosely, revealing a large expanse of alluring white skin.

The belt around her waist was just tied casually, and her shapely, smooth legs were faintly visible as she walked.

She wasn't wearing slippers; her bare feet trod on the soft carpet as she strolled to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room.

It was getting dark at this time.

Outside the window, however, was a bustling scene of bright lights.

Liu Yifei sat on the chaise lounge, leaning back lazily, resting and enjoying the beautiful night view.

Her home in Beijing is a large villa in Shunyi District. Although it is larger, the view is certainly not as good as that of a high-rise apartment.

Gu Wei's penthouse in Embassy No. 1 Courtyard is located in the most bustling area of ​​the East Second Ring Road. From this angle, the lively Sanlitun Taikoo Li is in full view, with a straight-line distance of just over one kilometer.

Looking down from here, the surrounding lights converge, cars shuttle back and forth, and figures can be vaguely seen moving about, creating a bustling and prosperous scene.

Gu Wei walked up from behind, also wearing a bathrobe, holding an opened bottle of red wine and two crystal goblets.

He sat down next to Liu Yifei, poured her a glass of wine, and handed it to her.

He held his wine glass in one hand and wrapped his other arm around her soft waist from behind.

"Isn't the night view of Beijing beautiful from this angle?"

The two lightly clinked their glasses and each took a sip of their lipstick wine.

"It's so beautiful!"

That's Sanlitun, right? It's very convenient to go shopping from here.

"I remember sending you the door code before. You can come over when you're free and don't want to stay at home."

"What's the point of me coming here by myself if you're not here?"
"I have my cat at home, but your house is all empty, just a big, empty house. What would I have to live in?"

Liu Yifei raised her hand, took a sip of wine, and smiled slightly.

Although she verbally declined, she was still quite pleased with Gu Wei's invitation, which showed he treated her like family.

When will you start filming your next movie?

"After New Year's Day."

"The company has a movie coming out in a few days. After I finish my work for this period, I'll do some promotional activities for 'Youfeng' with you, and then I'll start filming."

"【Sheep Without a Shepherd 2】, right? There's been a lot of promotion for this movie online lately."

I've seen the first one; it was excellent.

The lead actors all gave excellent performances, and director Wen Mu is also very talented; he truly deserves to be the director of "Dying to Survive."

I remember this movie had a new director, right? Won't that affect the quality of the film?

Liu Yifei held up her wine glass, swirled it, took a small sip, and asked in confusion.

She crossed her legs, revealing her long, slender, snow-white legs at the hem of her bathrobe. Under the light, her fair skin looked like solidified cream.

Her toes, painted with ruby ​​red nail polish, bounced slightly up and down, complementing the red wine in her glass and her red lips, making her even more alluring.

Gu Wei's attention was inevitably drawn to her, and his warm, large hand naturally rested on her smooth, supple thigh.

"No, although the director changed for the second film, Director Wen supervised the entire production."

The main cast and creative team remain unchanged, so the film's quality is guaranteed!

What are your box office expectations for "Sheep Without a Shepherd 2"?

"15 billion+, and if nothing unexpected happens, it could reach 20 billion!"

Liu Yifei nodded slowly.

Reaching 2 billion is a very high goal in the current market environment.

After all, the highest-grossing film of this year's Lunar New Year season, "Avatar: The Way of Water," has yet to reach 10 billion yuan in box office revenue.

However, she didn't think Gu Wei was bragging, after all, "Sheep Without a Shepherd 2" was a film with a certain audience base.

The first film grossed over 15 billion.

With the foundation laid by the previous work, as long as the second installment isn't too bad, it should achieve good results.

Of course, the most important thing is that Gu Wei's "Guan Ming Tian Xia" has never failed and has consistently produced hit products for several years.

Both industry insiders and audiences have great trust in it, and it has already established a certain brand effect.

The two drank, chatted, and admired the beautiful night view outside the window. Before they knew it, a bottle of red wine was empty.

Liu Yifei's face was flushed, and her eyes became increasingly unfocused, especially when she looked at Gu Wei, her eyes seemed to be brimming with tears.

After the conversation ended, the air suddenly became quiet. The two looked at each other for a few seconds, then slowly moved closer and kissed. (End of Chapter)
