Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 779 Announcement List (Two in One)

Time passed day by day, and last month's casting audition for Xingchen Film and Television was on a grand scale, with many applicants.

Even though Gu Wei has not announced the candidate yet, major media in the circle are still paying attention to this matter.

In addition, with the development of self-media nowadays, various rumors are reported from time to time.

For example, when the Xingchen Film and Television Annual Meeting was held, Han Sanping, Ye Ning, and Wang Changtian went to the scene, and the media directly reported that there was an inside story in the casting of "The Battle of Nantianmen", and that the bosses of major film and television companies used backdoors to get roles for their own artists.

For example, the private meeting between Gu Wei and Yu Dong and others was also reported by the media as exchanging role resources.

Even though the media fabricated such stories without any basis, some female stars in the circle still felt sour after seeing them.

Although there are a lot of resources in the domestic entertainment industry now, the resources to work with a few big directors are limited. Many older female stars with high traffic are posting press releases every day and are on various hot searches.

On the one hand, it is to maintain a certain level of exposure, and on the other hand, it is a way to join forces to grab public attention and promote newcomers.

Come to think of it, a person's energy is limited. After work and life, the entertainment news they read are all about those who have been popular for many years. They may think: Hey, this generation of newcomers is not good enough. It has been several years, and the ones reported every day are still the ones who became famous in previous years.

Moreover, most of the current popular artists in the domestic entertainment industry have three channels:

First, they have the support of capital. Most of them are small and big stars and fresh meat.

Second, they themselves are their capital, just like Huang Xiaoming, Fan Binbin, Li Binbin and others. These people quickly became famous through one role after another, and after becoming famous, they caught up with the rapid development of domestic entertainment, accumulated their own resources step by step, and finally established their own studios and companies.

Third, outstanding acting skills. This is aimed at some veteran actors, such as Li Xuejian, Chen Daoming, Chen Baoguo and others. Although the box office and ratings in movies and TV series are not solely dependent on them, they are really indispensable.

Therefore, in the eyes of most people, the media reports are definitely not groundless. Some people think of the previous statement made by Star Films when banning Korean films, saying that the company would gradually open up some resources to the outside world.

But Gu Wei hasn't given any results, so naturally someone started to stir up trouble and brought up topics like resource exchange.

Although these remarks had no impact on Gu Wei, every time he checked the news he would always see posts about this kind of thing, which made him feel annoyed.

So after final careful consideration, Gu Wei handed the list of "Battle of Nantianmen" to the head of the company's publicity and promotion department.

"Boss, when will the announcement be made?"

In fact, the publicity and promotion department had already prepared the statement for the release, but this movie involves many aspects, so the timing still has to be decided by Gu Wei.

"You guys can arrange the time, today or tomorrow is fine."

"clear."

The head of the publicity department responded after hearing this, and then contacted each artist according to the names on the list.

In order to highlight the importance of "The Battle of Nantianmen", the publicity and promotion department of Xingchen Film and Television designed several processes just for the announcement of the character list.

For example, they need to contact the selected artists in advance, and then Xingchen Film and Television Company will send them different pictures for them to announce the matter in their respective articles.

These photos were produced in advance by the design department, and include background images of various outer space environments and weapons in "The Battle of Nantianmen".

In addition to Xingchen Film and Television Company, several other investors will also announce the specific launch time of this film at the same time after receiving the news.

……

On the morning of the 14th, after Gu Wei finalized the list, he and the young lady spent their first Valentine's Day after their marriage.

For Liu Yifei and Gu Wei, they have everything they need except that they don’t have children.

So Miss Liu took Gu Wei shopping and to the movies, and posted a photo of the two of them on Weibo, saying "Happy Valentine's Day, Mr. Gu".

Just as netizens were commenting on Miss Liu's Weibo, there was some movement on the official Weibo of Xingchen Film and Television Company.

The entire film and television industry was in an uproar.

Almost everyone was staring at the casting announcement for "The Battle of Nantianmen" in amazement.

"The Chinese mainstream military-themed science fiction film "Nantianmen War" has a production budget of 2.5 million US dollars. The main creators and cast are as follows:
Producers: Star Films, Warner Bros., China Film Group, Jinling Art Center, Golden Shield, Navy Political Department, Light Media, and Wanda.

Director: Gu Wei; Producers: Song Ge, Han Sanping.

main character:

Hollywood male stars: Leonardo DiCaprio, Denzel Washington.

Actresses: Megan Fox, Emma Stone.

Mainland male stars: Zhao Wenzhuo, Huang Xiaoming, Qin Hao, Hu Ge, Huang Haibo.

Actresses: Liu Yifei, Su Chang, Tong Liya, Zhao Liying.

Supporting actors: Li Xuejian, Chen Daoming, Chen Baoguo, Feng Yuanzheng, Chen Minghao, Jiao Enjun, Yuan Quan, Chen Long, Wang Qianyuan, Han Xue, Wen Zhang, Yu Bo, Yang Junyi, Zhang Jin…

Friendly guest appearances: Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Liu Dehua, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Gong Li, Wu Jing, Jiang Wen...

Will Smith, Morgan Freeman, Scarlett Johansson…”

All the major film and television companies and countless filmmakers in the circle were all stunned and began to wonder if they were seeing things.

"What kind of divine lineup is this?"

"Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Liu Dehua, Gong Li... Will Smith, Morgan Freeman, Scarlett Johansson... guest appearances?"

"The Battle of Nantianmen" is undoubtedly luxurious, whether it is the producer, investment cost, director, producer, or cast.

But the most eye-catching ones are the names in the list of supporting roles.

Wow, there are two domestic Kung Fu superstars, plus the "First Lady of Asian Film" - Gong Li, not to mention several Hollywood superstars making guest appearances.

If we also include Wu Jing and Jiang Wen, who have recently become popular with "Wolf Warrior" and "One Step Away", this guest appearance list is simply amazing.

Shanghai Film Studio, Xi'an Film Studio, Ningxia Film Studio, Changchun Film Studio...

Huayi, Orange Sky, Stellar, Bona...

Even Hong Kong's Ying Huang and other film and television giants were all shocked by this operation.

"That's really cruel. Fortunately, Gu Wei didn't use this movie to compete with The Ferryman. Otherwise, he would have just admitted defeat."

Watching the news online, Zhang Qiang from Ali Pictures was cursing alone in his office.

It's really that Gu Wei played too big a role this time. Looking at the cast, except for a few supporting roles who are not well-known.

If the remaining people are added together, the top roles they play can almost catch up with those in "The Founding of a Republic".

And Zhang Qiang also discovered one thing, that is, there is not a single handsome young actor among the announced actors.

Whether it is the protagonist, supporting role, or guest star, almost all of them are star artists who excel in acting.

……

"The movie hasn't even been filmed yet, but the announcement of the exact cost alone is enough to guarantee that it will be highly anticipated. Wow, they really have a lot of money."

Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei looked at each other in surprise. This was not just one or eight billion, but an investment of nearly 2 billion, which once again broke the cost record of Chinese-language films.

"Among these confirmed actors, there is no one selected for The Lost Tomb 2."

"Probably not, but do you want to check specifically?"

Wang Zhonglei's answer made Wang Zhongjun frown subconsciously.

"When this movie is released later, you must pay attention and let the company's movies avoid it."

"clear."

On Bona's side, Yu Dong was in a terrible mood at the moment.

To put it simply, Bona failed to get even a small share of "The Battle of Nantianmen", and Huang Xiaoming, one of the leading actors of "The Legend of Conferred Gods", was also gone.

Before this, Yu Dong had been communicating with Huang Xiaoming, who was also delaying Bo Na's invitation because there was no response from Gu Wei.

Now that the list of Star Film and Television Company has been announced, it goes without saying that Huang Xiaoming will choose that company.

As for intercepting Huang Xiaoming, even if Yu Dong had a hundred guts, he would not dare to do it.

After all, a movie is nothing. If he offends Xingchen Film and Television, the other party will get angry and want to challenge Bona. Yu Dong will not be able to withstand it with his physique.

……

The film and television industry is also in chaos. Not to mention the actors who failed the audition, even those who got the roles are confused at the moment.

Especially the main actors, they just found out that all the guest stars this time are big-name celebrities, including some Hollywood superstars.

Thinking about the fact that I would be able to work with these people after the movie starts, I suddenly became excited.

Although they are excited, the selected people have already received notification from Xingchen Film and Television Company, and are now arranging for the assistant editor to notify and prepare for the next publication.

However, these people received the notification one hour later and posted it on Weibo.

From this small detail, we can also see that in the current domestic entertainment and film and television circles, big directors and capital are still at the top of the pyramid.

And the celebrities should step back a little!
At the same time, the Internet was also extremely lively.

"Director Gu is awesome. After The Forbidden Kingdom, he once again had Jackie Chan and Li Lianjie perform together. And the key is that it worked!"

"Let's not talk about the quality of the movie. Just with so many big-name stars starring in it, wouldn't the box office increase by hundreds of millions out of thin air?"

"How many hundreds of millions? With this cast list out, I think that after the release of "Battle of Nantianmen", it will definitely break the box office record held by "The Wandering Earth"."

"It still has to be Director Gu. If any other director said he could invite so many big-name stars, I would never believe it."

……

The outside world is really excited.

The last big production that caused a sensation in China seemed to be the last time, which was when "The Wandering Earth" was released.

Less than half an hour later, except for Xingchen Film and Television Company, the remaining seven investors issued statements.

On the domestic entertainment side, led by China Film, the official Weibo accounts of Jinling Art Center, Golden Shield, China National Navy, Wanda, and Guangxian all took action almost at the same time.

“Jointly produced by Xingchen Films and China Film Group…

The domestic military-themed special effects blockbuster "Nantianmen War" has completed the audition and casting. I wish the film a smooth start..."

"Jointly produced by Xingchen Films and Jinling Art Center..."

"Jointly produced by Xingchen Films and Wanda......"

The formats of the articles published by several companies are almost identical, coupled with the same accompanying pictures, so netizens can tell at a glance that they were prepared in advance.

However, those who can participate in the publication must be investors, and the minimum investment is hundreds of millions of RMB. It is impossible to be like other movies where anyone can just come to gain fame regardless of whether they have the ability or not.

Of course, this kind of thing is very common in the industry. For example, when you look at the production information of a movie, you will find that there are several production companies and more than a dozen co-producers.

In fact, many of these companies just invested a small amount of money to gain a reputation.

But when it participates in the production of many movies, it can use this resume to fool investors, but in reality it is just an empty shell that is not much better than a shell company.

Another situation is that a relatively famous director shoots a low-cost movie or online drama.

In reality, the director may not have even been to the film set. The footage was shot by students who had just graduated from the film academy, and they just paid to get their credit.

If these domestic film and television companies are stating a fact, then Warner Bros. Pictures, one of the six major Hollywood companies, which issued a statement overnight, directly sparked everyone's discussion.

The information from the other side of the ocean was posted online by the media as soon as possible. The content of the article released by Warner Bros. Pictures was so explosive.

“Congratulations to Director Gu Wei on the successful completion of the audition and casting. We look forward to the film “Battle of Nantianmen” breaking the record set by “2012” at the global box office…”

Also reported back were reports and reprints of Warner's announcement by major Hollywood media.

Some media outlets agreed with this and felt that with Gu Wei's achievements in science fiction blockbusters, he was fully capable of doing it.

Some media also denied this, believing that "2012" was released at the right time, with a large production, many star artists, and the Mayan prophecy of the end of the world, which created a box office myth.

Although Gu Wei's current film has an investment no less than that of "2012", and its character selection is no worse than that of "2012", it is simply a pipe dream to say that it can achieve a breakthrough at the box office after its release.

You should know that as of now, the global box office record of the science fiction blockbuster "2012" has exceeded 33 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to 200 billion yuan in RMB.

The New York Entertainment Times even joked that the head of Warner's publicity department was still asleep, believing that the other party was trying to hype Gu Wei's new movie.

Some media even directly mocked Warner for thinking too much. If Gu Wei's movie can really surpass "2012", doesn't that mean that Mingxing Film and Television Company is one of the top three box office companies in the world?

No matter how some Hollywood media deny it, netizens naturally like to hear good things.

Afterwards, a large number of netizens posted online, expecting "The Battle of Nantianmen" to create a new global box office record. Anyway, they just talk big.

After all, in the eyes of netizens, just brag and that's it.

If "The Battle of Nantianmen" can do it, it will mean that a Chinese-language film has won the highest box office in the world, and the Chinese people will be proud of it.

In case the "Battle of Nantianmen" fails, it doesn't matter. After all, it won't be me who gets slapped in the face. No matter what happens, Gu Wei will be there to take the blame.

Netizens just pretended to be dead and deleted the posts silently, just like nothing happened, killing two birds with one stone. At the same time, the participating artists who received the notice had already edited and posted their posts.

But when the Hollywood news came back, everyone made some adjustments and added at the end of their posts: "We look forward to the film "The Battle of Nantianmen" breaking the record set by "2012" at the global box office."

As the time was coming, many artists directly snatched the work from their assistants or studios and insisted on posting on Weibo themselves.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, about an hour after Xingchen Film and Television Company posted the article, dozens of new posts suddenly appeared on Weibo.

Huang Xiaoming: "I am very honored to join the military-themed science fiction Chinese film "Nantianmen Battle" jointly produced by Xingchen Film and China Film Group and directed by Oscar-winning director Gu Wei...

Thanks to Director Gu Wei for the invitation and selection...

I hope that "Battle of Nantianmen" can surpass..."

Zhao Wenzhuo, Huang Haibo, Qin Hao, Hu Ge...

Chen Baoguo, Chen Daoming, Li Xuejian, Feng Yuanzheng...

Su Chang, Tong Liya, Zhao Liying……

Chen Minghao, Wen Zhang, Chen Long, Wang Qianyuan, Han Xue……

As for Miss Liu, she didn't pay any attention to this matter at all. All the postings were handled by her assistant Ludan.

The assistant Ludan also had a creative idea and directly posted a message on Weibo saying "Thank you, husband".

In an instant, netizens were fed another wave of dog food.

Dozens of celebrities posted pictures and articles at the same time, coupled with a large number of comments from netizens, almost paralyzing the entire Weibo account.

So much so that Cao Guowei called Gu Wei afterwards and said in a resentful tone: "Director Gu, didn't you agree to notify us in advance if there was anything important?"

"Oh, haha, I forgot, I forgot, sorry, I will remember next time."

Just after these domestic entertainment artists posted their articles, Leonardo and others who were selected in Hollywood also updated their social accounts as soon as possible.

"After Interstellar, this is the second commercial blockbuster that Gu and I have worked on. To quote Warner Bros., I look forward to this movie creating a new world box office record..."

Afterwards, Denzel Washington, Megan Fox, Emma Stone, Morgan Freeman, Will Smith... and others also thanked Gu Wei for the invitation.

A group of people expressed in their interactions with netizens that they would put in their best efforts to shoot this movie.

Morgan Freeman even said to his fans in a joking tone: "I have a feeling that this movie will create a box office miracle, and I am very excited to be a part of it..."

.........

On the other hand, the celebrities who got roles in Gu Wei’s new movie were overjoyed and felt happier than during the Chinese New Year.

For those artists who auditioned but did not receive any notification, it was a bit suffocating to watch the interaction between the Chinese and American entertainment circles.

"Mimi, is there really no chance at all?" Zeng Jia looked at the various comments from netizens, turned her head and asked in a trembling voice.

At this moment, Yang Mi's eyes were dull and she didn't hear what the other person said at all.

"Mimi, are you okay?" Zeng Jia panicked when she saw the state of the money tree.

"Hmm? Well, it's okay, I just feel a little stuffy in my chest." Yang Mi replied weakly.

The reports and various words in the media were like needles piercing Da Mimi's chest, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

Whether it was the names on the guest star list or the various information sent back from Hollywood, the more Da Mimi looked, the more she felt that she had lost an opportunity she had always dreamed of.

Fan Binbin was also feeling upset. As one of the few big stars in China, she didn't expect that she didn't even get a guest role.

You know, Fan Binbin thinks that his status in the domestic entertainment industry is second only to Gong Li, and when he faced media interviews after the audition, he hinted that there was no big problem.

But I didn't expect to be slapped in the face.

Gritting his teeth and looking at the glaring notice from Xingchen Film and Television, Fan Binbin took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Gu Wei. Although he didn't say that he was willing to pay any price to get a role, the content of the text already hinted at it very clearly.

The crew of "Journey to the West: The Three Strikes on the White Bone Demon".

At this moment, Gong Huang is accepting congratulations from everyone in the crew. In the eyes of Xiao Shenyang and others, even just a cameo is enough.

But to Gong Li, there was a hint of sarcasm in these people's congratulations.

After all, Gong Li had discussed with director Soi Cheang when she came back from the audition, asking him to focus on her role and try to finish the filming within three months.

This matter was known to everyone in the crew. After the news spread, everyone thought that Gong Li asked about it, and even believed that the other party had received an invitation from Gu Wei, otherwise he would not have done this in such a hurry.

"Teacher Gong Li, the director is calling you." The staff member came to Gong Li and shouted.

After Gong Li left, discussions began to murmur.

Someone pouted and said, "I thought she was the leading actress, but it turned out to be just a cameo?"

"It's not bad to be a guest star. Look who he's working with, they're Jackie Chan, Li Lianjie, and Leonardo DiCaprio." Someone said with an envious expression.

"Hmph, to put it nicely it's a guest appearance, but in fact it's because Director Gu didn't like her, so why is she pretending?" Someone else said sarcastically.

"Hey, let's not talk about this anymore. Check out Weibo. Chen Long, Han Xue and others are gaining followers so fast. It hasn't even been half a day yet and their follower numbers have already doubled. I'm so envious."

Perhaps because they felt that there was no point in discussing this topic further, some people simply changed the subject.

It has to be said that the current Weibo fan data is not as low as it will be in the next few years. After hearing this, everyone was instantly attracted.

Everyone opened the Weibo and saw that it was true.

"Who is this Han Xue? I haven't heard much about her."

"I know, from the grapevine, I heard that he was an actor recommended by China Film Group, and he has someone in his family. Now it seems that he was chosen through the backdoor."

"Tsk tsk, why would you enter the entertainment industry when you have the power and influence? Why don't you just stay at home and enjoy your life? Why do you have to occupy a spot?"

When Gong Li saw Zheng Baorui, she said directly: "Teacher Gong, there is no need to focus so much on the next scene, right?"

You have to know that because of Gong Li's invitation, the roles of other crew members have been seriously delayed.

It's just that due to her status, many people dare not speak out, but in the final analysis, Gong Li's actions will cause problems for other people's schedules.

We are all in the same circle, and it is impossible for everyone to only take on one play. Once there is a delay for too long, a chain reaction will occur.

Hearing this, Gong Li remained calm and said directly: "Let's focus on filming, Director Zheng. I have something else to do later."

Cheang Pou-soi has been in the industry for so many years, so how could he not understand the other party's thoughts? It is estimated that Gong Li will most likely still communicate with Gu Wei to see if she can change her role from a guest role to a leading role.

"Okay, that's it."

After receiving the reply, Gong Li just walked out of the director's office and called Gu Wei.

.........

The outside world is in turmoil, and all kinds of topics of discussion are going on.

Gu Wei and Miss Liu had just woken up from a nap after shopping on the street for half a day, but they had "slept" a little too long.

I picked up my phone and opened Weibo. The first thing I saw was Miss Liu’s post, so I replied, “You’re welcome, wife!”

When netizens saw Gu Wei "show up", they could no longer sit still.

"Don't just show off your affection, Director Gu, when will the filming start?"

"That's right, start it quickly, we are still waiting to see!"

First it was the fans, and later even celebrity artists who passed the audition joined in. People like Qin Hao, Hu Ge, Su Chang and Huang Xiaoming, who had a good relationship with him, were asking openly or secretly when they would join the group for training.

Clicking on Huang Xiaoming's comment, Gu Wei replied: "Why are you so anxious? I wanted you to spend the New Year in peace before talking to me."

The leader replied almost immediately: "It doesn't matter if it's the New Year, I just want to join the group right now."

Vincent Zhao followed suit, posting: "That's right, director, we just want to start work quickly and look forward to the movie being finished and released sooner."

Less than two hours after Xingchen Film and Television Company published the article, Zhao Wenzhuo directly occupied the third place in the trending searches, and the top two were: "Xingchen Film and Television Company announced the casting list for "Nantianmen War"."

"Hollywood's Warner Bros. is optimistic about "The Battle of Nan Tian Men" and hopes that its box office will exceed that of "2012"."

The reason why Zhao Wenzhuo ranked third on the hot search list, just after these two pieces of news, is that in the announcement, he was ranked first on the list of male actors auditioning, firmly positioning himself as the C position male star in the domestic entertainment industry.

Working with the mainland's top director Gu Wei, and investing so much money in a production, and most importantly, being the perfect leading actor, Zhao Wenzhuo's Weibo followers instantly grew by over a million.

He and his management team were eager to join the crew immediately so that they could feel the envious gazes of everyone.

Thinking of this, Gu Wei opened his Weibo and posted: "It is expected to join the crew at the end of the month. The training time is two months. After the training, we will start shooting immediately. Everyone, have a good New Year and join the crew in the best condition at that time."

"I understand, director." Zhao Wenzhuo was the first to respond.

Then Su Chang, Huang Xiaoming, Huang Haibo and others followed.

Looking at everyone sitting in a row, Gu Wei felt that Zhao Wenzhuo suddenly became the leader.

At the same time, the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: Sword of Destiny".

After the casting list came out, it wasn't just Fan Binbin, Gong Li, Yang Mi and others who were disappointed.

For example, Zhen Zidan, who had conflicts with Zhao Wenzhuo before, felt more uncomfortable than killing his mortal enemy when he saw his high-spirited look.

Speaking of Zhen Zidan, he became famous with the "Ip Man" series, but his subsequent works such as "Guan Yunchang", "The King's Guards", "Iceman: Gate of Legend", and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" all failed at the box office, and he was called box office poison for a while.

After he restored his reputation a little last year with "A Man's Martial Arts", his situation is now a little better.

Now that he has joined the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2", as the filming progresses smoothly, the media has been reporting on Zhen Zidan continuously, and he even became a hot topic a few days ago.

But now I see netizens comparing me with Zhao Wenzhuo again, and they are constantly mocking me in their words.

What: "Times are different now. Some people keep making bad movies, while others have become the leading actors in movies directed by international directors."

"No comparison, no harm. After "Nantianmen Battle", Zhao Wenzhuo's status among male action stars in the circle will soon be second only to Cheng Long and Li Lianjie. Others should just step back."

"What's the name of the universe list? It doesn't live up to its name. Zhao Wenzhuo will definitely impact Hollywood in the future and become another world action star."

Reading each post and comment after another made Zhen Zidan so angry that his lungs almost exploded.

Seeing this, the agent could only comfort him: "Finish the film well. Director Yuan said that he might take the film to the Oscars later. If it wins the award, Zhao Wenzhuo will still be inferior to you."

Hearing this, Zhen Zidan nodded vigorously.

.........

In the villa, Gu Wei was half lying on the sofa, holding his mobile phone and interacting with fans and celebrities on Weibo.

He smiled from time to time. At this time, Miss Liu came down from upstairs in slippers. Seeing Gu Wei giggling, she immediately became interested.

"Look at you, why are you smiling so foolishly?" Miss Liu asked with a smile, laying her head on Gu Wei's chest like a kitten.

"Oh, netizens are really creative. They suggested that I should not let Jiang Wen play a positive role, but let him and Wu Jing play aliens directly, and then accept the "beating" of the earthlings."

"Someone else said that Jiang Wen and Wu Jing made cameo appearances in my movie. So when they make a new movie later, they asked me to return the favor and make a cameo appearance."

Gu Wei took out his phone and clicked on the comments one by one to show Miss Liu.

"Haha, what was your reply? Did you say you would go back to make a guest appearance?" Miss Liu laughed.

"Hehe, I just replied that it was a reference to Zhou Xingchi and Feng Xiaogang's "A World Without Thieves" and "Kung Fu."

Miss Liu naturally knew about this. At the beginning, Zhou Xingchi and Feng Xiaogang agreed to make cameo appearances in each other's movies, but Feng Xiaogang played the leader of the Crocodile Gang. In the end, Zhou Xingchi rejected the invitation to make a cameo appearance.

Because of this incident, many netizens at that time scolded Zhou Xingchi for being untrustworthy.

But now it seems that Zhou Xingchi is indeed a bit discriminating in his dealings with people, but he is also very principled and seldom participates in the personal relationships in the entertainment industry, so his reputation is average, or even a bit bad.

The opposite is Liu Dehua, who has a very good reputation among other people in the circle, but because he attaches too much importance to interpersonal relationships, he has acted in many bad movies.

After all, you have more social interactions, and when someone invites you, it is difficult for you to refuse, and you can also carefully select good scripts there.

Although Zhou Xingchi has a bad reputation, he has hardly any bad movies.

Sometimes Gu Wei wondered, between these two people with extreme personalities, who would be better remembered by netizens and audiences a hundred years later.

As time passed, Gu Wei received more and more text messages on his mobile phone.

There are many celebrities who want to try harder to get more roles, but there are more thank-you messages from celebrities who have already secured roles.

Among them was Wen Zhang, who sent a long text, expressing various thanks in an overt and covert manner.

Gu Wei felt a little sad at the other party's cautious look. Take the present for example, other artists on Weibo are interacting with Gu Wei, but this one dares not show up directly.

Compared to his rebellious appearance when he was at the peak of his popularity, it seems like two different people.
