Chapter 627 It's Not Revenge

"Hey, honey..."

"Hey, who are you calling dear? I hope I'm not disturbing you."

As soon as the call was connected, a sarcastic voice came from the other end.

"Um, I'm calling you, dear. What's the bother? Haha." Gu Wei answered with a smile, thinking in his heart that he would definitely "punish" the young lady severely when she comes over at the beginning of next month. After not seeing her for a while, she has become more and more naughty.

On the other side of the ocean, Liu Yifei gritted her teeth and had the same thought in her mind.

"Hey, who were you talking to just now? The phone wasn't connected and he didn't reply to the messages." Liu Yifei's tone was sour, but her words sounded somewhat questioning.

"It was a call from Mr. Han. Parasite and The Revenant were nominated for the Golden Globe Awards. We talked on the phone for a while, and then I didn't receive your call." Gu Wei explained.

After finishing speaking, there was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, and then…

"Gu Wei, you said you didn't lie to me. Mr. Han said you couldn't get through on the phone, and he sent me a text message asking me...

OK, I knew you were led astray by Leonardo, and all you do is attend cocktail parties...

If you don’t explain it to me clearly today, I will go to my uncle and aunt to complain, hum…”

Liu Yifei talked for three full minutes before she stopped ranting.

Gu Wei only had one thought in his mind, "Fuck, this guy, Old Han, is simply not a human being, he is playing dirty tricks."

Leonardo: "Gu, explain it clearly and clear my name."

Next, Gu Wei explained and took screenshots to prove his point, and it took him a full ten minutes to finally convince the angry young lady.

"Ah, so Mr. Han lied to me?" Faced with sufficient "evidence", the young lady was dumbfounded.

"Haha, this old guy... Old Han is not a good person. Don't trust him in the future." Gu Wei took a long breath. He felt that these ten minutes were more tiring than a normal day's filming.

"Haha, don't call people like that. It would be so embarrassing if you say it to their faces."

"Yesterday I went to see my uncle and aunt, and they asked me to ask if you will be spending the New Year in China this year..."

"Oh, I'm so bored at home, Changchang is not here, and my mom is always bothering me..."

"I don't care about you, you're going to get as fat as a pig day by day." Liu Xiaoli's sudden shout made Gu Wei laugh.

In the villa, Liu Yifei was sitting on the sofa stroking the cat, while Liu Xiaoli was busy in the kitchen, and the sound came from here.

As for Su Chang, he had already gone to accompany his young boyfriend. It was no wonder that Liu Yifei was bored. Everyone around her was busy, and she was the only one who did nothing but sleep and eat every day. She had gained several pounds.

"Didn't you say you were going to lose weight? Why are you still fat? There's only a month left until the Golden Globe Awards. Aren't you paying attention to your body shape?" Gu Wei asked with a smile.

"You're still talking about someone, but that person didn't even answer my call, and it's not just once or twice, huh."

"Um, Xixi, why don't you come over earlier?" Facing Liu Yifei who was about to bring up the phone issue again, Gu Wei said decisively.

"Ah, didn't you say that Lu Yang, Qin Hao and I should go together?" Liu Yifei asked in a much higher voice when she heard this.

"I miss you."

"Yes, I'll ask my assistant to book a flight right away." Just three words made Liu Yifei smile happily, "The fastest flight."

"Okay, by the way, bring your daughter here as well." Gu Wei continued.

"Ah, you don't want to take revenge on Mr. Han, do you?" Liu Yifei asked in surprise.

"How is that possible? Don't talk nonsense. This is not revenge. Ning Hao is unreliable and has not started any new movies. My daughter needs a graduation project for her graduate school. It just so happens that Rise of the Planet of the Apes has started ahead of schedule, so I plan to let her come over as the nominal assistant director."

Gu Wei explained patiently, thinking in his heart: "It's not too much to let Old Han's precious daughter experience 996. After all, young people won't get tired anyway."

"Tsk tsk, he's already an assistant director in a Hollywood blockbuster before he even graduated. That's a high starting point. To be honest, I'm envious of him."

"Okay, got it. With so many people going, we can't sell the fastest flight. I'll call them later and ask how long it will take to prepare." Liu Yifei changed her plan again, counting on her fingers to confirm each thing to prevent any omissions.

“By the way, please also notify Qin Hao, Lu Yang and the others to come together after the filming of Ghost Blows Out the Light is finished and New Police Story is released.

Also, let Guo Fan come with you. The filming of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is about to start. Let him be an assistant director and continue to learn the technology. "It's the same if you drive one sheep or a flock of sheep. Why not just come together?"

"Oh, you're so annoying. How can anyone remember all the words you said in one breath? I'll write it down and say it again later."

"Aren't you usually very quick at memorizing lines? This is just a small amount..."

The two chatted for more than an hour. After hanging up the phone, Gu Wei glanced at the domestic entertainment news before going to bed.

"According to relevant personnel, Taiwanese actress Lin Zhiling is suspected to have won the female lead in Chen Kaige's new film "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain."

"Huace Film & TV Co., Ltd. announced in Shanghai that it will "marry" Guo Jingming for no more than 1.8 million yuan. In addition to "Tiny Times 3" and "Tiny Times 4", the two parties plan to collaborate on five more films in the future."

"The Storm, created by Liu Dehua, Yao Chen, Lin Jiadong, Hu Jun and others, will officially hit major theaters across the country today."

"Produced by Shanghai Film Group, starring Lu Han and Jing Boran, and adapted from an online novel, China's first tomb-raiding film, The Lost Tomb, will be officially released in major theaters in mainland China tomorrow."

"'New Police Story 2013' produced by Xingchen Films, directed by Lu Yang, and starring Cheng Long, Liu Ye, and Jing Tian, ​​and 'Private Tailor' produced by Huayi, directed by Feng Xiaogang, and starring Ge You, Bai Baihe, and Fan Li are released only four days apart. The two companies will compete in the Lunar New Year period." Most of the news reports are about the domestic Lunar New Year period, which is dazzling.

But what interested Gu Wei were the comments from netizens!

"It's Lin Zhiling again. I hope this time it won't be like "Meng Meng Stands Up" again."

"No one cares about the new actress joke? She has acted in so many TV series and is still called a newcomer?"

"Huace is also rich..."

"Has anyone read "Grave Robbers' Chronicles"? How about telling us about it?"

"Just came out of the cinema. I can only say that the special effects are good, but the storyline is a bit lame."

"RNM, the plot is a bit lame. I have no idea what Li Rengang is filming."

"The special effects of Xingchen Films are wasted. The movie feels like a patchwork of plots. It makes no sense. I even doubt whether the director has read the original novel."

"It's really crude. They don't know how to shoot a historical film, but they also shoot a tomb-raiding film like this?"

Gu Wei laughed when he saw this comment. This is not surprising as Hong Kong directors have always had this problem.

However, netizens' interest in the battle between Huayi and Xingchen Film and Television exceeded his expectations. Now many domestic film and television companies are paying attention to this matter.

After staring at the phone screen for a while, Gu Wei dialed the number.

"Be ready and wait for me to notify you to sell it directly."

"Okay, boss, don't worry."

.........

Hollywood.

During the Christmas season in December, countless movies are released in North America.

"The Big Dreamer", "Anchorman 2", "A Furious Christmas" and other films starring Tom Cruise were released.

Among them, "American Hustle," which was released on the 12th, was pre-screened in six theaters in New York and Los Angeles at the beginning of the month, and achieved the best single-theater performance of the year for a live-action film of $6.

The film opened in 2507 theaters and grossed 1910 million on the first day, which is no less than the first-day box office of "The Revenant."

And on the 13th, the much-anticipated "The Hobbit: The Battle of Scolarius" was finally released.

At the same time, "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" continues to reap box office revenue.

Perhaps because of the competition between Gu Wei and Lionsgate, the popularity of this movie has become increasingly hot, and the box office has increased significantly in recent days.

"Boss, why do I feel like I'm helping Lionsgate?" Reid asked uncertainly.

"What the hell are you telling the truth about? How can I not see it?" Gu Wei silently complained in his heart, but his face showed no expression.

"Don't worry, everything is under control. By the way, has the cocktail party for Parasite been arranged?"

"Well, there are a total of ten events scheduled in the next half month, five of which require Zhang to be present in person. Here is the list of invited guests and college members, take a look!" Reid handed over the documents as he spoke.

After taking the list, Gu Wei just glanced at it and put it aside.

PR for the Best Foreign Language Film is different from PR for "The Revenant". Even the academy members who need to give gifts and get in touch with others are not the same group, so he can't figure it out.

"Let's do it this way. I'll notify Director Zhang and leave the rest to you."

"No problem, boss. I will arrange a beautiful lady to accompany us and will definitely give Zhang the latest experience."

Hearing this, Gu Wei suddenly remembered that Miss Liu would be here in the next two days. If she found out that he was a young and beautiful girl at the party, he would probably suffer again.

"Forget about the beauties. Director Zhang doesn't like that."

"So what kind does he like? I'll arrange it." Reid couldn't understand why there would be a man who didn't like Eighteen, so he continued to ask.

"Find someone older, caring, and considerate."

Reid was completely stunned when he heard this. What a unique request, but since the boss had spoken, he had to do it. He then made a gesture to show that he understood.

"By the way, where is the horror film director I asked you to find?" Gu Wei suddenly remembered this.

"Boss, it's hard to find people at this time. Besides, our company has never made this type of movie before, and several directors don't want to take this script." Reid explained immediately.

"Add more money!" These two words popped out of Gu Wei's mouth.

"I understand. I'll do it right away." In an instant, the boss's image in Reid's mind became more prestigious.
