Chapter 674 May Wedding

domestic.

Regarding the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony, the mainland media and even Weibo only gave some brief information.

It sounds like a joke that "The Grandmaster" won 12 awards.

People on the Internet were joking that this was not the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony, but a commendation meeting for "The Grandmaster".

Many people in the circle are still joking that Zhang Jin, who married into the Hong Kong circle, is finally treated as one of their own and won the Best Supporting Actor award.

Hong Kong's Academy Awards have completely declined.

Even the chairman of the jury, Chen Jiashang, joked that the Academy Awards were like kindergarten kids playing house, with no surprises and one could tell the whole thing from the beginning.

More than a dozen domestic films released in late April are all aimed at the May Day holiday.

"Iceman: Rebirth" and "Hypnotist" are the only two relatively "famous" domestic films, and their release dates are scheduled for mid-May.

As for other domestic films in early and mid-April, they were completely defeated by imported films such as "Captain America 2", "Transcendence", and "Rio 2", with each of them having a box office of over million yuan.

Deleting negative reviews on Weibo cannot change the netizens' criticism of Wen Zhang. Even if most of the internet trolls are removed, the remaining audience will still not buy it.

It is controlled by Juli Films and invested in a Sino-Korean co-production "I Love You Most on the Road", starring Wen Zhang and Huang Shengyi.

When Wen Zhang's cheating was exposed, the movie had just been released for two days.

The originally good box office was cut in half, and even after most of the negative reviews disappeared, there were still some viewers and movie fans who disliked and boycotted the film.

The co-production film, which cost nearly 7 million yuan, was released for 1900 days and had a total box office of 8 million yuan. The daily box office dropped to yuan, and Juli Pictures suffered heavy losses again.

The interview speech by producer Yang Zi was a classic. His one sentence offended both the majority of female netizens and Jackie Chan.

If IQ had ranks, this guy would definitely be at the Iron level.

.........

May 9th.

capital Airport.

When I left, I was still wearing a thick down jacket. When I came back, the temperature in the capital was already quite high, and most of the pedestrians and tourists coming and going had changed into short-sleeved shirts.

Many reporters have been waiting at the exit for several days. Previously, when Wu Jing was interviewed at the press conference of "SPL 2", he said that director Gu Wei would come back to attend his wedding.

As the wedding date was getting closer, the media increased their manpower a week ago, for fear of missing the opportunity for an interview.

As a group of reporters stationed at the airport all year round, apart from the superficial competition, they have a pretty good relationship in private.

There has been a lot of news in the domestic entertainment industry since the "cheating scandal", but few of them have been very popular.

News like the dominance of the Hong Kong Film Awards, Qiong Yao suing Si Yatou, and Jackie Chan’s 60th birthday may stir up some heat for a while, but no one will pay attention to them after a few days.

Thinking of this, everyone missed Gu Wei a little bit when chatting. After all, every move made by the other party was big news.

The vigorous public opinion for banning South Korea has continued to ferment for several months and has not dissipated until now.

During the conversation, a sharp-eyed reporter noticed that there was something wrong with the two people coming towards him. They were wearing masks and sunglasses in the hot weather, so they might be big fish.

The male reporter gave a look, and his classmates picked up the interview equipment in unison, adjusted their posture, and started moving instantly.

As soon as someone took the lead, the remaining seven or eight reporters reacted instantly, "Lao Liu, you have no moral integrity, Xiao Ma, hurry up and get the equipment, quickly..."

On the other side, when Gu Wei realized that something was wrong, it was already too late.

In less than two minutes, nearly ten reporters had surrounded him and his assistant.

"Okay, let's go to another place. Don't make any noise. Let's go." Gu Wei's familiarity with the route made people feel distressed. The reporters looked at each other in bewilderment.

But when Gu Wei took off his mask, the reporters knew that this bet was right.

In the parking lot, when the reporters had finished fiddling with the machine, Gu Wei had already taken off his mask and sunglasses, revealing a bearded face.

"Director Gu, have you just returned from Hollywood?" Seeing that Gu Wei looked different from before, a reporter couldn't help but ask.

"Could it be that he came back from the Middle East?" Gu Wei joked.

"Hello, Director Gu, I'm a reporter from Sohu Entertainment. What do you think about Wen Zhang's cheating and the deletion of comments on Weibo that caused a lot of controversy some time ago?" Seeing that Gu Wei was prepared, a young female reporter asked directly.

Hearing this, Gu Wei glanced at the other person. He looked quite handsome, but the questions he asked were very sharp.

"You guys are interviewing me now about what happened last month. I wonder if you will be criticized by the editor-in-chief when you report this."

"Besides, news is different from wine. The longer wine is stored, the mellower its flavor becomes. But news loses its value after a long time. It seems that your editor-in-chief did not train you well."

Gu Wei's sarcastic remarks made the other person's face turn red, and the others around him almost couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that Gu Wei was unwilling to answer the question, the reporter had to ask in a different way: "Now it is said on the Internet that you made the decision yourself. May I ask you..."

Hearing this, Gu Wei was speechless. How do you want me to answer this question? After thinking for a while, he said, "Maybe they deleted a lot of comments because they saw that the Internet trolls were too arrogant and some of the dirty words affected the network environment."

Seeing that the other party wanted to continue speaking, Gu Wei simply waved his hand, signaling the next one.

When it was the Sina reporter's turn to interview, the questions asked were normal considering that Gu Wei was one of his own bosses.

What do you think about Qiong Yao suing Yu Zheng for plagiarism? Regarding the increasingly serious plagiarism in the industry, as one of the most famous directors in the domestic entertainment industry, do you resist this behavior?

What do you want to say about the Hong Kong Film Awards? The Grandmaster won almost all the awards. Will it affect the development of the mainland film market?

At the end of the interview, Gu Wei was even asked what he thought about the box office of the Hong Kong film "Iceman" and the domestic blockbuster "Hypnotist".

Gu Wei always chose to answer these questions in an official way. Damn it, you pushed me into the fire pit as soon as I came back. Can't you ask some other questions?
.........

After returning to the villa.

As soon as he entered the door, Gu Wei found that Liu Yifei was "practicing martial arts". She was really practicing martial arts. There were two female masters in the living room teaching her step by step.

In this time and space, Liu Yifei did not star in the Sino-US co-production "The Forbidden Kingdom", nor did she film the Hollywood adaptation "Mulan". She had only acted in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and "Dragon's Nest". Her original kung fu skills are still there, but they have become rusty after so many years.

"Huh." After completing a set of movements and preparing to take a break, Miss Liu turned her head and saw Gu Wei with a smile on his face.

"You're back. Why didn't you let me pick you up?" In an instant, a smile bloomed on the little girl's face.

"I'm not afraid of delaying your practice!" Gu Wei hugged the sweaty young lady, pinched her nose, and spoke gently.

The two looked at each other, and everything was said without words.

"Yifei, Director Gu, that's all for today. We'll go back first." The two female teachers were very perceptive and understood instantly that today's class was over.

"Okay, then go slower." Miss Liu nodded.

"Thank you for your hard work." Gu Wei also greeted.

Seeing Gu Wei curiously staring at the two people's backs as they left, Miss Liu spoke up, "They all graduated from the Shichahai Wushu Sports School. They opened a training class in the capital and are quite famous."

"Is he quite famous? Are there still many young people learning martial arts nowadays?" Gu Wei asked doubtfully.

"Not many, so they specialize in the high-end market, one-on-one teaching, and take the upper-class route."

After hearing this, Gu Wei understood that ordinary people of the younger generation have no interest, no enthusiasm, no time, no energy, and no money to learn these things, but some elites are still willing to learn them. After all, not all second-generation rich people and second-generation officials like a life of feasting and revelry.

"Well, they are living well. I heard from them that many students who graduated from martial arts schools have no future at all. Some go to the film and television industry to be stunt doubles, and some can only change their careers to do other things..."

The contact during this period made Liu Yifei understand the embarrassing position of martial arts in China, and she couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing this, Gu Wei also felt a little emotional. The decline of martial arts films in the mainland has caused a large number of talents in this field to change careers. In addition, the popularity of Korean culture in recent years has also changed the martial arts spirit of young people.

"Let's make a martial arts film when we have time." Looking at Miss Liu whose face was blushing, Gu Wei made a suggestion.

"Okay, then don't worry, wait until I learn it."

Thinking of martial arts and kung fu, Gu Wei couldn't help but think of his previous conversation with Zhou Xingchi.

In the original time and space, after Zhou Xingchi finished filming "Kung Fu", there was no news about the second part, and Gu Wei suggested that he could start the second part, but unfortunately he was busy with the post-production of the movie. "I can talk to him when I have time." Thinking of this, Gu Wei opened his phone and wrote down the two names in the memo, maybe he could use them in his next movie.

Seeing Gu Wei's operation, Miss Liu took a curious look and saw the words "Xie Miao" and "Shi Xiaolong" written on it.

……

outside world.

The media reported Gu Wei's return trip to China as soon as possible, and also included the interview content.

Netizens burst into laughter after seeing the content:
"Hey, have you noticed that Director Gu Wei is becoming more and more weird?"

"Haha, I'm dying of laughter. Gu Wei: Qiong Yao is suing that dead girl? Then when the court opens, I'll go to sit in on the trial?"

"The Hong Kong Film Awards is the only one that dominates. Well, they really need to learn how to distribute pork from the Golden Rooster Awards."

"Domestic films cannot compete with Hollywood imported films? That's normal. Facing so many strong competitors, even the films I made are not sure."

In the villa, after a fierce fight between Gu Wei and Liu Yifei, the two snuggled together and chatted.

"Last month, Brother Cheng Long celebrated his 60th birthday and sent him a painting... The day after tomorrow, Wu Jing and Xie Nan are getting married, so I asked someone to make a set of jewelry for me..."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Your seventh aunt's son got married. Your eighth aunt's daughter got married. I went with my parents..."

Watching Miss Liu counting on her fingers and detailing the expenses of social interactions, Gu Wei suddenly had a feeling that it was like the male protagonist working outside and the female protagonist taking care of everything at home.

Seeing Gu Wei's strange look, Miss Liu touched his stubble, her eyes full of hints.

"Come on, a night of love is worth a thousand gold, but I am dying of suffocation."

.........

the next day.

Early in the morning, Gu Wei's cell phone completely turned into a vibrator and couldn't stop at all.

"Oh, go out and answer it." As soon as she got the phone, Miss Liu's anger level reached its limit.

Seeing this, Gu Wei put on his clothes and went to the study.

There were a lot of text messages in his mobile phone. Wang Changtian, Ye Ning, Han Sanping, Yu Dong and others knew that he was back, and they all sent him text messages to ask for a time to get together.

Gu Wei replied one by one, and only called Song Ge after everything was settled.

"I hope I didn't disturb you and Yifei. Take it easy and see if your body can handle it."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the other party spoke rudely, which made Gu Wei quite embarrassed, but the latter said with a cheeky face: "What's the big deal? He is young and healthy."

"Haha, it seems like we can learn a lot from Hollywood, not just about movies."

The two chatted for a while and ended the call with Song Ge saying "I'll wait for you at the company".

Afterwards, after Gu Wei finished washing up, he looked at Miss Liu who was still half asleep and decisively decided to go directly to the company.

The new company was not close to Liu Yifei's villa, so Gu Wei drove himself all the way. When he entered the city, he saw promotional posters of several domestic films on billboards and bus stops on both sides.

"Rebirth: Frozen Gate", "You Are the Apple of My Eye", "Hypnotist", and "Swallowed Sky", the competition among several movies has become fierce.

The publicity that can be seen everywhere is the best proof that "Swallowed Star" has been released for more than a week.

During the May Day holiday, the first-day box office of 43 million broke several new records for domestic animated films.

As of yesterday, the data obtained by Gu Wei was 265.8 million, and industry media predicted that the box office of this movie would not be less than 400 million.

Moreover, the word of mouth is very good. Thanks to the publicity from fans of the novel and young people, Gu Wei had already received an invitation from Warner to distribute the book before he returned.

This time, Gu Wei also considered discussing with Light Media and Wanda to directly sell the North American copyright to Warner in the form of a buyout, as for why he did not distribute it himself.

Firstly, there were not many theater chains cooperating with Tomorrow's Star Films, and secondly, Ryder was preparing to release the horror film "The Conjuring" and did not have enough energy.

That's right, "The Conjuring" was successfully completed in just five weeks. However, because the film was still in post-editing, except for a few individuals, almost no one in Hollywood or the mainland knew that Gu Wei's company had shot such a movie.

Thinking about these things, time passed quickly. When I arrived at the company and met Song Ge, the first thing he asked was when "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" would be completed?
"Almost. What's up?"

Song Ge never asks about things in Hollywood, and Reid never asks about things in China. The two of them seem to keep to themselves. As Gu Wei's right-hand man, Nigong, bah, is so anxious about "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", there must be something wrong.

"President Han came over to chat a few times. Last month, Jinling Art and the Navy also came over. They all asked about your next movie."

"Later, several leaders from the General Administration came to visit the company's latest equipment, but they were asking about the film."

"You said I didn't know anything and could only nod and shake my head. It was really hard for me."

Song Ge complained bitterly, and Gu Wei was stunned. Then Gu Wei said jokingly: "How about I give you a raise?"

Song Ge: “…”

What can you do in a day?
One day was enough time for Gu Wei to re-watch the latest film of "Wolf Warrior", sign several important documents, and review the company's new projects.

As for the invitations to other people, let’s talk about it after Wu Jing’s wedding.

...

the next day.

May 11th.

Early in the morning, Miss Liu woke up the "overworked" Gu Wei.

"Oh, you're so annoying, stop bothering me and go back to sleep."

This wave of reverse operations directly confused the young lady. At this time, Gu Wei's mouth corners slightly raised, thinking in his heart, who wouldn't be in a bad mood when waking up, haha!
Seeing that Gu Wei dared to use her own moves, Miss Liu bit her lip and lifted the quilt again.

After a long time, when the pointer pointed to ten o'clock, the two of them hurriedly got up to pack up and wash.

"Oh, it's all your fault. I don't even have time to put on makeup." In front of the dressing table, Miss Liu glared at Gu Wei, and he could only feel his waist trembling.

"Has no one told you that you are beautiful even without makeup?" After saying this, Gu Wei made an excuse to get the gifts into the car and disappeared in an instant.

the other side.

The wedding is about to begin, but the difference from the original time and space is that the scale is much larger.

Although Wu Jing has not yet proven himself in movies, many people have seen the trailer for Wolf Warrior, and everyone generally believes that the box office should be good.

In addition, Wu Jing now has Gu Wei's support, Xie Nan and Liu Yifei are still good friends, and many people in the circle come to support him.

With so many people, they naturally had to choose a larger venue. After Wu Jing and Xie Nan discussed it, they directly booked an entire floor of Platinum Yue. According to their estimate, they would need to set up hundreds of tables, so this place was quite suitable.

Starting from half past ten, reporters waiting at the hotel entrance noticed that guests arrived one after another.

Looking at the celebrities coming in and out of the circle, the reporters felt that all that was missing was a red carpet.

When Gu Wei and Liu Yifei arrived, they naturally became the focus of everyone's interviews. Now the reporters like Gu Wei more and more.

Just look at the Sina Entertainment reporter's interview with Gu Wei at the airport, which directly became a hot topic that night, and the other party's remarks are still at the top of the list.

I heard that those reporters also received a bonus. We are all in the same industry and no one thinks they are worse than the other. Now that Gu Wei is right in front of me, the opportunity has come!

As a result, when the reporters were about to speak, they were blocked by Gu Wei, "I am not the protagonist today. If you have time, go interview Wu Jing. I am just here for the banquet."

"Xixi, how do you feel? My parents have been looking for a place for us recently. I think this place is pretty good." After getting rid of the reporters, the two of them just entered the venue and Gu Wei turned his head and looked at Miss Liu and said.

"Haha, you want to marry me home with this." Liu Yifei said proudly.

Just as Gu Wei was about to continue speaking, Wu Jing's voice rang out.

"Director, Yifei, you are here."
