Chapter 747 Unexpected Operation

The goddess of netizens is getting married, and the phrase "the hatred of having one's wife stolen is irreconcilable" that was circulating on the Internet was brought up again by netizens.

Gao Yuanyuan and Zhao Youting held their wedding in Taiwan Province, and many netizens were heartbroken.

Director Chen Kai and his wife are the masters of the wedding, and the famous director matchmaker also serves as the master of ceremonies, so needless to say, the scale of the ceremony will definitely be huge.

Many celebrities in the industry received wedding invitations, and Gu Wei naturally received one as well. After all, the two had worked together on "Time and Space Lovers". Thinking about it, it was more than ten years ago. Time flies.

Considering that he has been busy recently, Gu Wei asked others to help bring the gift money over, and he did not go himself.

In the following two days, Gao Zhao's wedding topped the hot search list. After the heat died down a little, Gu Wei and Liu Yifei's wedding became a hot topic of discussion among netizens again.

...

November has passed, the Lunar New Year holiday season has officially begun, and the film market has entered a state of total excitement.

Following the release of "The Fortune Is Best When a Woman Acts Like a Baby", several films including Lou Ye's "Tuina", the Hollywood imported film "Automata", and the South Korean imported film "The Myeongryang Battle" have been released in major theaters in mainland China.

"Despicable Me 3" has grossed million in three weeks since its release, and the current average daily box office remains at over million.

According to industry insiders, even if this movie fails to exceed the 1 billion mark, the gap will not be too big.

"A Woman Who Acts Like a Baby Has the Best Luck" has grossed over 7,000 yuan in one week since its release, which is a rare good result among recent low-budget romance films.

After all, its film output is really average.

But its reputation is unanimously good. Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming both contributed surprising performances, and the contrast is huge.

On the contrary, Lou Ye's "Tuina" is really a work for a small circle.

The first-day box office was 68, with an average of 6 people per show, which fully demonstrated that this slightly taboo movie was not made for the general audience, but was specifically made for film festivals.

At the same time, the Internet is full of movie promotional materials. Some movies in December, January, and even the Spring Festival have joined the publicity war.

"That Year in a Hurry" is favored by many people because it is a youth film, and Peng Yuyan, Ni Nai and others are not bad actors.

Gu Changwei's "Micro Love" is also being promoted in full swing, after all, it is his first commercial film.

And to be honest, the male and female protagonists, Chen He and Yang Ying, are indeed very popular first-line actors.

Among them, the promotion scale of Ning Hao's "Lost in Thailand" is very large. After the leading actors Huang Bo and Xu Zheng came back from Hong Kong Island, they had no time to rest. They are now appearing on various shows one by one to promote the film.

The entire entertainment industry became lively in an instant.

...

On December 12, the star-studded movie "The Crossing" was released.

However, the top search topic of the day was occupied by the wedding time of Gu Wei and Liu Yifei, because many celebrities in the industry received wedding invitations.

Big stars, led by Li Binbin and Fan Binbin, openly posted their wedding invitations on Weibo, which naturally included the specific time and location of the wedding.

Li Binbin directly posted on Weibo: "Congratulations to Director Gu and Yifei, I wish you a happy marriage and a long life together. I will be there to witness this sacred moment..."

Almost at the same time, Fan Binbin also posted a message to congratulate, with a lot of nice words written.

Gong Li, who was in China and had just gotten over the Golden Horse Film Festival incident, also posted the wedding invitation on Weibo and said a few words of blessing, as a way of thanking Gu Wei for his support to her in the past few days.

Zhang Ziyi, who just rushed to Hollywood, naturally did not want to be left behind. She posted a lot of compliments on Weibo and also promoted her status as an Oscar judge, both overtly and covertly.

Now, there was nothing other people in the group could do. Whether or not one received a wedding invitation became a symbol of status.

On the mainland side, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang and others followed suit and showed their thoughtfulness.

Jiang Wen posted a message directly on Weibo. After congratulating the fans, he mentioned "One Step Away", hinting to netizens that there would be surprises in the movie, and tagged Liu Yifei, which immediately sparked speculation among netizens.

Subsequently, Hong Kong directors such as Stephen Chow, Gordon Chan, and Zu Xu Ke followed suit.

Plus Andy Lau, Cheng Long, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Huang Bo...

With the participation of many celebrity artists such as Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Yang Ying, Ni Ni... almost all actors with a little bit of fame in the domestic entertainment industry posted on Weibo to show their support.

Wait until Huang Xiaoming, Qin Hao, Han Dongjun, Hu Ge, Chen Xiao and others show off their groomsmen suits.

When Su Chang, Jane Zhang, Tang Yan, Wan Qian, and Tong Liya posted photos of their bridesmaids' dresses, netizens couldn't hold back any longer.

"Fuck, most of the entertainment industry sent their blessings. Director Gu and Yifei are the most honorable ones."

"Tsk tsk, it includes directors, producers, celebrities, and CEOs of film and television companies from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan..."

"Haha, no one noticed that Tang Yan was the bridesmaid. I wonder what Yang Mi would think after seeing this!!"

"See? Yang Mi is nothing. Tang Yan can be Yi Fei's bridesmaid. She will definitely surpass her in the future." "Haha, she's just a bridesmaid. If you don't know, you would think Tang Yan is the protagonist."

A few days ago, fans of Yang Mi and Tang Yan were at loggerheads with each other.

Two artists were also implicated, and dirt was flying everywhere. But looking at the overall situation, Tang Yan is still at a disadvantage.

But now that Tang Yan posted the photos of her bridesmaid dresses, her fans were like they were on stimulants, and they all rushed to Yang Mi's Weibo to tag her and mock her.

Afterwards, Yang Mi’s fans became unhappy and went to Tang Yan’s Weibo to curse her. The two sides went back and forth, neither wanting to give in.

At the same time, Yang Mi felt a pang in her heart after seeing the photos posted by Tang Yan on Weibo.

There was actually no major conflict between her and Tang Yan, it was just that their fans were pulling each other down and making a big deal out of a small matter.

Things have developed to this point, and Yang Mi has been pushed to the forefront by her fans, so naturally she can't back down.

Just like now, Tang Yan’s fans openly went to Yang Mi’s Weibo to mock her, how could Yang Mi not fight back.

It was only after seeing these photos that Yang Mi learned about the relationship between Tang Yan and Liu Yifei. Coupled with Gu Wei and Xingchen Film and Television Company behind them, Yang Mi had already begun to think about making a big deal out of a small matter.

Thinking of this, Yang Mi called Zeng Jia and the two of them started discussing.

"It's better to keep a low profile recently. If you fight too hard with the other party, it will easily affect the big things."

Yang Mi's mind was naturally focused on Gu Wei's new movie. Although she had not been able to make an appointment with Liu Yifei during this period, it did not mean that Yang Mi would give up.

As more and more information about "The Battle of Nantianmen" was revealed, Yang Mi became more and more determined to get the role.

"Okay, I'll ask them to reduce the number of posts and comments, and we'll talk about it after the dust settles."

Today, Yang Mi is Zeng Jia's cash cow. Zeng Jia naturally cares more about the "future" of a tool who can help him make money.

the other side.

Gu Wei, who received a call from Han Sanping, was speechless at the moment.

"You really know how to pick the time. Look at the internet now, everyone is talking about you and Yifei. There are barely any posts about The Crossing."

Han Sanping is almost dead, so this is his last project before he leaves office, so he naturally takes it very seriously.

"Boss Han, you can't blame me for this. I didn't let anyone else openly post the wedding invitation on Weibo."

Starting from the 1st, Gu Wei arranged for his employees to send out hundreds of wedding invitations in the circle one after another. However, he was only responsible for delivering them and had no idea that such a thing would happen. Don’t you think it’s unfair?

"Hey, do you think the box office of 'The Crossing' can exceed 1 billion?" Han Sanping was also joking. He certainly couldn't blame Gu Wei for this, but the success of the project he was responsible for was related to his final honor.

"Mr. Han, ten billion? Isn't Director Wu's goal 2 billion?" Gu Wei teased directly.

"Twenty billion? If the movies he makes can sell for twenty billion, I will go to work for him." Han Sanping now sees everything clearly. After the premiere a few days ago, the reputation and reviews of "The Crossing" on the Internet were not very good.

In the following days, John Woo mobilized the leading actors to promote the film with all their strength.

Just like Zhang Ziyi, who is in Hollywood, she posted five or six posts on Weibo in one day, calling on everyone to go to the cinema to support the movie.

Huang Xiaoming, Jin Chengwu, including South Korea's Song Hye Kyo and others, hardly stopped, either being interviewed or on the way to be interviewed.

But the more Han Sanping read the comments online, the more uncertain he felt. So he took advantage of his free time to call Gu Wei directly, hoping to seek comfort and encouragement.

Hearing this, Gu Wei really didn't know how to respond. If nothing unexpected happened, "The Crossing" would become one of the few bad movies in the domestic entertainment industry, and the final box office would not even reach 200 million, let alone 1 billion or 2 billion.

There were some things that Gu Wei felt that Han Sanping would not believe even if he said them. Just like now, if Gu Wei directly said that the box office could only reach 100 or 200 million, Han Sanping would definitely think that he was talking in his sleep.

"Ten billion? Maybe it's possible." Gu Wei said with gritted teeth.

But Han Sanping would not let him go and kept pestering him to tell the truth.

"Mr. Han, I think we'd be lucky if we could exceed 500 million, let alone 1 billion." In order to get rid of the other party's entanglement, Gu Wei set a goal that he thought was already exaggerated.

"Five hundred million? Five hundred million?" Han Sanping's heart sank. He no longer dared to imagine the consequences.

"Mr. Han, Mr. Han?" After a while, Gu Wei heard no sound on the phone and shouted twice in succession.

After a long while, "Haha, five hundred million, it's over."

After he finished speaking, Han Sanping seemed to have lost all his energy and only a beeping sound remained on the phone.

Seeing this, what could Gu Wei say? He had advised the other party before, but Han Sanping didn't listen.
