Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 780 Chapter From now on, please call me Director Jiang (two in one, words)
The box office results of the first blockbuster released during the Spring Festival are out.

The film "Somewhere Only We Know", which was released on the 10th, was the first to announce the specific data.

"Directed by Xu Jinglei, written by Wang Shuo, starring Wu Yifan, Wang Likun, Xu Jinglei, Re Yiza and others.

The romantic movie "There is a Place Only We Know" was released on Tuesday. In the four days since its release, the box office revenue has been reported at 3737 million, 2636 million, 2158 million, and 1589 million respectively..."

"Wu Yifan's first film as the leading actor won him wide acclaim in the industry.

A large number of fans shouted, "If your acting skills are not good enough, your looks can make up for it."

"Wang Shuo was interviewed and confessed for the first time: Love is just a glimpse. After falling in love, Xu Jinglei is still a good friend..."

"Director Xu Jinglei was interviewed by phone in Berlin. She said that she was good friends with all her predecessors, and they would be willing to give everything they had to help..."

The movie "There's a Place Only We Know" officially sounded the clarion call for the Spring Festival battle, and the fierce Spring Festival battle has already begun.

However, with the popularity of the casting announcement for "The Battle of Nantianmen" and the mediocre box office performance of the film, almost no one was discussing it on a large scale.

It has to be said that the announcement released by Xingchen Film and Television Company was so influential that the two major events before it were overshadowed.

One of them was the news about the nominations for the Hong Kong Film Awards, which sparked discussions among many netizens a few days ago.

The reason is that this year's Academy Awards nominations are still the same old style, with the same group of "old actors" from Hong Kong Island.

It is precisely because of this situation that a few Hong Kong filmmakers have begun to propose increasing the number of mainland works shortlisted.

As soon as this proposal came out, it instantly gained the support and solidarity of most of the Chinese-language film industry.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if this is done, the Hong Kong Film Awards will definitely be able to enjoy a second spring.

After all, the most important thing for a film festival is to be open to all. Only by being brave enough to accept works from different regions and fields and increasing core competitiveness can it develop in a healthy way.

However, the proposal of this minority was naturally resisted by the "majority of old guys".

Afterwards, a group of senior judges and organizers of the Academy Awards immediately jumped out and, like a dog whose tail was stepped on, wildly criticized this idea and said that it would definitely not be adopted.

The other party's extreme behavior naturally became a joke and topic of conversation among people in the circle after dinner.

Gu Wei even posted on Weibo:
"Running water never stale, door hinges never rot, but a certain group of people are so stupid that it's outrageous."

The official Hong Kong Film Awards issued a statement accusing Gu Wei of looking for trouble, implying that Gu Wei had only participated in overseas film festivals in recent years and was a typical example of worshipping foreign things. Some even said that such remarks were undermining the unity between the two places.

Seeing the other party doing this, Gu Wei continued to post, "Look at your dead look, I predict that the Hong Kong Film Awards will be finished in a few years. If you don't change now, Hong Kong films and the Hong Kong Film Awards will become history in the future."

Subsequently, interactions between the two sides became more and more frequent.

For this reason, Han Sanping even called to remind Gu Wei to be careful with his words.

"Mr. Han, this is all for the sake of the other party. I have personally stepped down to give instructions, which is enough to prove how much you value unity." Gu Wei joked directly.

"Come on, I don't know you yet. How can you appreciate the mainland film festival? You say you are giving advice, but in fact you just want to disgust the other party." Han Sanping teased in the tone of an "old know-it-all".

"Hehe, Mr. Han really understands me. To be frank, the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Golden Rooster Awards are almost the same, both are a bit disgusting."

...

At the same time, the issue of domestic censorship has been raised by many people.

The incident started after "Wolf Totem" premiered at the Berlin Film Festival. Director Jean-Jacques Annaud publicly said after the film screening that the film would be exactly the same as it was when he handed it over to the relevant mainland departments.

The review by the relevant departments was passed at one time, and there was no requirement to delete or modify any part.

As soon as these remarks came out, some directors and filmmakers, led by Jiang Wen, called them unfair when interviewed by the media.

Maybe he thought of the fact that the General Administration had repeatedly made things difficult for the film before the release of "One Step Away", and Gu Wei also pointed out in China that the current entertainment industry is not as good as before.

So when Jiang Wen answered this question from reporters, his words were inevitably a little emotional, and naturally his words sounded unpleasant.

Perhaps he was too bold in speaking, so much so that even Han Sanping called Gu Wei and asked him to remind Jiang Wen not to speak so freely, lest he end up like Lou Ye.

After all, those old guys up there are no pushovers.

Gu Wei said good things, but privately he was too lazy to pay attention to those old guys.

...

As time goes by, the Berlin International Film Festival is coming to an end.

The film festival program lists detailed information of all the films shortlisted for the main competition unit, and "One Step Away" is on the front page.

A large number of media and film critics have even made various predictions for these films, and Jiang Wen and "One Step Away" are undoubtedly among the favorites to win the award.

Early in the morning on the 15th, the entire Berlin International Film Festival was in a state of excitement.

A large number of media, filmmakers, crews, actors, stars and celebrities from all over the world are waiting for the red carpet of the closing ceremony in the afternoon.

Back home, people in the film and television circles, entertainment circles and the Internet were also paying attention to news from Berlin in addition to the Spring Festival Gala, with headlines and hot searches constantly being refreshed.

"The red carpet for the closing ceremony of the 65th Berlin International Film Festival officially began at pm today. In addition to the crew of "One Step Away", many Chinese film crews were also invited and will step onto the Berlin red carpet..."

"China Film Group sent back an announcement: During the Berlin International Film Festival, China Film Group has decided to introduce the Disney princess series live-action film "Cinderella", the introduction of Warner's science fiction action masterpiece "Jupiter Ascending", the introduction of "Fast and Furious 7", the introduction of "Revenge" 2" and introduced "Jurassic World" and many other Hollywood blockbusters."

"The Beijing Film Studio was demolished a few days ago. As the only remaining landmark building of Chinese film, it has completely become a thing of the past.

It is reported that after the demolition of the Beijing Film Studio, the relevant departments announced that they would build luxury houses of 380 square meters each on the original site…”

"The TV series 'The Journey of Flower', produced by Xingchen Film and Television Company and starring Chen Xiao and Zhao Liying, will be broadcast on Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV and Mango TV at 8 o'clock tomorrow night..."

...

After announcing the audition casting results for "The Battle of Nan Tianmen", Gu Wei naturally became completely free.

Even though Fan Binbin, Yang Mi, Zhang Ziyi and others called Gu Wei privately afterwards, wanting to fight for the role again, Gu Wei still chose to refuse.

After all, the audition and casting for "The Battle of Nan Tianmen" had just been announced. If Gu Wei immediately chose to replace someone, who knows what kind of scandals and inside information would spread everywhere.

However, after receiving Gong Li's call, the other party's sincere attitude made Gu Wei a little hesitant.

After considering for a long time, Gu Wei had no choice but to let Gong Li finish her work there first, and if there was enough time, she would be given more roles in the later stage.

Gong Li originally wanted to get the leading female role in one go, but after hearing what Gu Wei said, she had no choice but to quit while she was ahead. After all, in her opinion, there would be other opportunities later.

When he joins the crew, maybe he will be able to impress Gu Wei with his superb acting skills and use this to increase his role.

There are only a few days left until the Chinese New Year. Apart from the staff on duty, only the staff responsible for the special effects production of "The Battle of Nantianmen" at the Xingchen Film and Television Company have not taken a holiday.

Therefore, Gu Wei naturally would not go to the company anymore. In addition, his mother-in-law went to his grandmother's house again. After Gu Wei and Liu Yifei discussed it, the two of them simply moved back to the courtyard.

At this time, the Berlin Film Festival awards ceremony happened to begin, so the two watched the live broadcast at home.

In the huge bedroom, Gu Wei and Miss Liu were half lying on the sofa, with all kinds of snacks on the table. At this moment, the two of them looked like spectators.

Since the time difference between the capital and Berlin is seven hours, when the Berlin Film Festival starts at 5 pm, it is already around 11 pm in the capital.

But it didn't matter to Gu Wei and Miss Liu. They just treated it as staying up late to watch the Spring Festival Gala. After all, the boring Spring Festival Gala was not as interesting as the Berlin Film Festival Awards Ceremony.

Before the award ceremony started, Gu Wei was browsing the gossip news and naturally saw the news about the demolition of the Beijing Film Studio.

Gu Wei’s first film, “Tuya’s Wedding”, was edited at Beijing Film Academy. Now, more than ten years have passed, and seeing that the place that helped him make his first pot of gold is gone, Gu Wei naturally feels a little sad.

"Oh." Gu Wei sighed. He originally wanted Miss Liu next to him to give him a hug, but he didn't expect that she was holding her cell phone and laughing non-stop, obviously not paying attention to him.

"Oh." Gu Wei sighed again, but seeing that he couldn't attract the young lady, he had to tilt his head to see who his wife was messaging, and why she could be so happy.

As it turned out, it was clear who else it could be but Su Chang. The two of them were chatting so fast that Gu Wei was dazzled.

"I'm impressed by you two. When you meet, you start quarreling after just a few words, but after you separate, you keep sending messages to each other." Gu Wei said quietly.

"What do you know? Beating is love and scolding is care. If I don't say a few words to her when we meet, it doesn't show my love for Changchang." Miss Liu said proudly.

"Haha, bullying others is bullying others, and you still want to protect them?"

"Oh, how can you call it bullying? That's a wrong word."

The two talked and chatted for a while, and the red carpet of the Berlin Film Festival began.

When the crew of "One Step Away" stepped onto the red carpet, Gu Wei saw Jiang Wen in a suit, so he picked up his phone and sent a text message to Director Jiang, saying "Not a bad look".

After the red carpet session, the awards ceremony began.

"Winner of the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Arts: "Victoria" by Stura Brandt Gjolfren"

“Best Feature Film Debut Winner: Gabriel Lipstein, ‘600 Miles’ Congratulations!”

……

On the live broadcast website, Gu Wei watched various awards from small to large being announced and awarded one by one.

After a long time, we finally arrived at the core award, which is also one of the awards that "One Step Away" is striving for.

"Winner of the Silver Bear for Best Actress: Charlotte Rampling, "45 Years", congratulations!"

The Best Actress award was confirmed, and the spotlight was also given to Tong Liya, who was nominated for "One Step Away".

Poor Tong Liya was called back from Berlin by Gu Wei for the press conference of "The Mojin: The Lost Tomb". After rushing back again, she still did not win the award.

"Oh, it's a pity that Leah didn't win the award." Miss Liu said with regret when she saw this scene.

The award ceremony is still going on...

"Winner of the Silver Bear for Best Actor: Tom Courtenay for "45 Years", congratulations!"

Seeing that "One Step Away" lost another important award, Miss Liu looked at Gu Wei with some concern.

"It's okay. 'One Step Away' was nominated for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Screenplay, Best Director and Best Picture. If it didn't win the first two, it means it has a better chance in the later ones." Gu Wei knew very well that there was no absolute fairness at a film festival and could only answer based on his own experience.

At the same time, netizens who stayed up late to watch the award ceremony live were also talking about it.

"Oh, it's hanging in the balance. It looks like 'One Step Away' might not win anything. The competition for the next few awards is too fierce."

"'45' was awesome, it directly won the Best Actor and Best Actress awards."

"Director Jiang, please give me some support. If this wins the Golden Bear, I'll be the fifth Chinese director to win the Golden Bear, after Zhang Yimou, Gu Wei, Li An, and Xie Fei."

Just as netizens were discussing the matter, the Silver Bear Award for Best Screenplay was announced.

"Congratulations to Patrick Guzman for Best Screenplay for The Pearl Buttons!"

Liu Yifei: “—_—”

Gu Wei: “0.0”

Netizens: “…”

"Director Gu, didn't you just say that you have a great chance of winning the awards later?" Miss Liu said, rolling her eyes at Gu Wei.

"Hehe, just because the chance is great doesn't mean you will definitely get it." Gu Wei smiled weakly, muttering to himself that he hoped he would really get nothing.

In the original time and space, "One Step Away" did not achieve any success, but this version of "One Step Away" is quite good in Gu Wei's opinion, and it can be regarded as a work that balances commercial and literary aspects.

In addition, it has been screened for nearly ten days and received a lot of praise during the Berlin Film Festival, so Gu Wei expects that "One Step Away" should be able to win an award. Otherwise, he would have watched the live broadcast when he had nothing to do. Isn't it better to do some exercise late at night?

Jiang Wen, who was at the award ceremony, also felt uneasy at the moment.

As the award results come out one by one, "One Step Away" still has no wins.

"There is still a chance." Zhou Yun on the right looked at his man's serious expression and encouraged him.

"After talking so much big beforehand, if nothing is achieved now, won't Gu Wei laugh at me when I go back? Oh!" Jiang Wen gave a bitter smile, his palms already sweating.

The five minutes passed quickly and the winner of the Silver Bear Award for Best Director came out.

They are: Radu Jude, "Applause", Congratulations!, and Malgorzata Szymowska, "Body".

When Jiang Wen saw it was a double yolk egg, his face looked even uglier. He couldn't even get a double yolk egg. Oh my God.

At the same time, as soon as the jury members' voices fell at the award ceremony, the scene suddenly became noisy, and many people looked at Jiang Wen.

As one of the most popular films before the awards ceremony, "One Step Away" doesn't have much chance left.

"Director Jiang, relax, there is still a chance."

Hong Huang, who came over with him, suddenly spoke to comfort him. She could naturally understand Jiang Wen's mentality at the moment.

"I hope I can get what I want thanks to Sister Hong's good words."

Jiang Wen pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile.

Privately, Jiang Wen kept stroking Zhou Yun's hand to calm his extremely nervous mood.

Finally, it was time for the last two comprehensive awards, and the chairman of the jury was replaced to present the awards.

"The winner of the Silver Bear of the Grand Jury is: Pablo Larraín for "Club Priest". Congratulations!"

The atmosphere at the award ceremony reached its climax.

Amid the thunderous applause, many Chinese-language filmmakers unconsciously looked towards Jiang Wen.

"Is it possible that we won't get nothing?" La Peikang had a bad guess in his mind at this moment. "It's hard to say." Ren Zhonglun also responded in a low voice.

At the same time, Cheng Long, Zhang Ziyi, Fan Binbin, Xu Jinglei and others frequently looked at Jiang Wen. Regardless of Jiang Wen's usual personality and style, everyone hoped that the domestic entertainment industry could produce another Golden Bear director.

After all, apart from some public intellectuals and some unscrupulous people, the Chinese people are still very united when it comes to collective external relations.

"Director Jiang, don't worry. There is still a chance."

Faced with everyone's encouragement, Jiang Wen couldn't listen at all at this moment because he was very nervous.

"Thank you to our filmmaker friends from all over the world for attending the Berlin International Film Festival awards ceremony tonight.

Next, I will award the Golden Bear Award for Best Film at this Berlin International Film Festival. "

The chairman of the jury picked up the card sent by the etiquette and slowly opened it:

"The winner of the Golden Bear Award for Best Film at the 65th Berlin International Film Festival is: "One Step Away", Wenjiang, congratulations!"

In an instant, Jiang Wen stood up, Zhou Yun also had tears in his eyes, and the two hugged each other.

"Congratulations, Director Jiang."

"Director Jiang is awesome."

Many people stood up and clapped to express their blessings.

"Huh." Jiang Wen took a deep breath after separating from Zhou Yun. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind, "I have worked hard for half my life, and now I have won the three major director awards in Europe."

Walking in the aisle, Gu Wei kept waving at La Peikang, Ren Zhonglun, Cheng Long, Fan Binbin and others.

At this moment, he was really excited.

People live forever, grass and trees fall!
With a happy family and plenty of money, Jiang Wen is now filled with satisfaction.

.........

After seeing Director Jiang finish his acceptance speech, Gu Wei and Miss Liu turned off the live broadcast.

The next morning, the two woke up from their sleep.

Gu Wei picked up his phone and saw that Director Jiang had already replied to his text message.

Just looking at the several hundred words, almost the same number as an essay, Gu Wei decisively replied with two words: "Read"!
Not long after, Director Jiang replied, and the content was: "From now on, please call me Director Jiang!"

Seeing these words, Gu Wei could imagine Jiang Wen's smug look at this moment, "Tsk tsk, Director Jiang? He's so proud!"

Afterwards, Gu Wei looked at the news online, and as expected, "One Step Away" topped the hot search list.

But ranked second is still the casting report of "Battle of Nantianmen", which shows how great the influence of Gu Wei's movie is.

News from the Berlin Film Festival will naturally not be missed by major domestic portals, Weibo, etc.

At this moment, there are all kinds of news about the mainland film and television circles.

"At 65 a.m. today, the th Berlin International Film Festival came to a successful conclusion. Director Jiang Wen won the Golden Bear Award for Best Film with his film "One Step Away"!"

"Following directors Xie Fei, Zhang Yimou, Gu Wei and Li An, Director Jiang Wen becomes the fifth Golden Bear director in the Chinese film industry..."

"Director Jiang Wen and his wife revealed in an interview that they would return to China before New Year's Eve..."

"Director Jiang Wen said frankly that the copyright issue of "One Step Away" will be discussed in the next few days to make up for the regret that the film was not released globally when it was first released..."

Film and television companies such as China Film, Star Films, Light Media, Wanda, and BuyiLehu have all forwarded the news about the award results of the Berlin International Film Festival.

The entire film and television industry was aware of this incident, either actively or passively.

Above the banner at the entrance of the Central Academy of Drama that reads "Welcome all new students to apply for the Film Academy", there is a newer, larger and more eye-catching banner:
“Warm congratulations to our outstanding alumnus of the Performance Department, Director Jiang Wen, who won the Golden Bear Award for Best Film at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival and became the fifth Golden Bear Award director in China…”

The film and television industry was extremely lively, with countless actors and stars joining the "congratulations" team.

"Director Jiang is awesome. Another Golden Bear-winning director has been born in China."

"Congratulations to Director Jiang for winning the Golden Bear Award."

...

On the other hand, Brother Chen Kai felt very uncomfortable when he saw Jiang Wen accepting the interview in high spirits and the whole circle was congratulating him.

Logically speaking, Jiang Wen won the award, which had nothing to do with him, but he still felt some indescribable emotions in his heart.

Before this, Director Chen had seen Gu Wei and Zhang Yimou win numerous awards, not only the three major European awards, but even the Oscars were conquered by the two.

Now, there is another Jiang Wen!
Brother Chen Kai stood up and walked to the balcony, silently recalling the scene when he won the Palme d'Or.

If Brother Chen Kai was just feeling sad, then at this moment Feng Xiaogang's face was distorted with jealousy and envy.

Because there is a post on the Internet with the title: "Fake "Five Great Directors", Real "Four Great Directors", Should Feng Xiaogang be removed from the list of mainland great directors?"

Two years ago, Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Gu Wei, Jiang Wen, and Feng Xiaogang were rated by netizens as the "Five Great Directors of Domestic Entertainment".

At that time, Feng Xiaogang was ranked last among the top five directors, and he had a quarrel with netizens for a while.

But now, when Feng Xiaogang saw that someone had proposed the "Four Great Directors", he subconsciously felt nervous.

However, after the failure of "1942", Feng Xiaogang secretly realized that he might never win a big prize in this lifetime.

So after seeing this post, what else could Feng Xiaogang do except get angry?

After lying on the balcony for half a day basking in the warm winter sun, Feng Xiaogang finally made up his mind to take over "The Ferryman".

After all, life is all about fame and fortune.

Since there is no such thing as a name, then I have no choice but to seek profit.

Thinking of this, Feng Xiaogang called Wang Zhonglei and asked him to negotiate the price with Ali.

At this time, Feng Xiaogang was not considering whether he could defeat "The Mojin: The Last Dragon", but how much profit he could make from it.

Sometimes, things in the world are so wonderful that they always produce different results through various "butterfly effects".

.........

The Berlin International Film Festival is officially over, but the copyright trading market is not, and it is in full swing.

That afternoon, Gu Wei and Miss Liu followed Gu's father and mother happily as they prepared New Year's goods.

Director Jiang called, "Director Gu, guess how much the copyright of One Step Away was sold for?"

From the other party's tone mixed with joy and boasting, Gu Wei knew that the price would definitely not be low.

"Twenty million US dollars?"

"Haha, who are you looking down on? Keep guessing and use your imagination as a great director." Jiang Wen said happily.

"Forty million?" Gu Wei doubled the amount.

"Hmm? Guess again. Look at how petty you are." Director Jiang was indeed a little arrogant.

"I guess your uncle." Gu Wei cursed directly and then kept silent.

Now it was Jiang Wen's turn to feel uncomfortable. After all, he called Gu Wei just to show off.

"6120 million, in US dollars, haha, I made a fortune, bro."

Hearing Gu Wei continue to remain silent, Jiang Wen suddenly felt that it was too much fun and continued to talk:

"A total of 32 film companies made regional bids for "One Step Away". In the end, we screened and kept 12. On average, the final transaction price for each film company was around US$ million...

To be honest, I can’t believe the price, hahahaha.”

But Jiang Wen didn't know that when Gu Wei heard this number, he just raised his eyebrows. He originally thought that "One Step Away" could only sell 10 or 20 million at most, but he didn't expect that the title of the Golden Bear Award was so useful, and in the end it tripled.

"Brother, let me tell you..."

"Well, the price is not bad, almost catching up with one-tenth of the global box office of my movie "Rise of the Planet of the Apes"."

Before Jiang Wen could finish his words, Gu Wei launched a critical strike.

"Uh... Damn it." After holding it in for a long time, Jiang Wen finally cursed with a smile.

However, this overseas copyright fee did create a new high for Chinese-language films in recent years. It is of great significance to Jiang Wen, but it is very ordinary in Gu Wei's view.

After all, even if Gu Wei participates in major film festivals nowadays, his ultimate goal is still to win awards, as for copyright transactions.

Haha, as an internationally renowned director, you still have to make a few cents from copyright fees, which is so shameful.

Think about it, Gu Wei's current movie is not released simultaneously around the world. The box office revenue alone is incomparable to the overseas copyright fees.

So when he was reborn as a director, apart from the initial need for start-up capital, Gu Wei simply looked down upon some well-known directors who repeatedly went to major film festivals to sell copyrights.

Of course, if you can’t handle the global release, then just ignore what Gu Wei said.

Moreover, compared to selling copyrights, Gu Wei pays more attention to long-term income from DVDs, videotapes, etc.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while.

Even though Jiang Wen was hit hard, he still excitedly said that the trip to Berlin was worthwhile and he gained both fame and fortune.

Even though Gu Wei was not short of money, he was happy to suddenly have some "extra income" before the New Year.

The entire conversation between the two was "witnessed" by Miss Liu. When she learned that she had made another small amount of money, the young lady was so happy that her front teeth were exposed.

"Oh, we made nearly 100 million again." After dinner, Miss Liu easily understood how much more money her family had earned through calculations.

Gu Wei waved his hand and indicated that the money would be handed over to his wife.

Hearing this, Miss Liu had already silently calculated what "new toys" to buy after the New Year.

...

On the 17th, Jiang Wen and his wife, Cheng Long, Fan Bingbing, La Peikang, Ren Zhonglun and their group boarded the flight back to China.

Before boarding the plane, Jiang Wen naturally released the news that the overseas copyright fee for "One Step Away" was US$6120.

In less than half an hour, this news became a hot topic, and it even overshadowed the news just released by Mango TV.

"According to Director Jiang Wen, the overseas copyright of the Golden Bear Award-winning film "One Step Away" has exceeded 60 million US dollars, which is equivalent to nearly 400 million RMB..."

"The large-scale national defense education special program "Real Men", exclusively launched by Mango TV, the People's Liberation Army and the Bayi Film Studio, has entered the closed recording stage, and the recording location is the military.

The celebrity guests of the first season include: Zhang Fengyi, Guo Xiaodong, Yuan Hong, Liu Haoran..."

Many celebrities and filmmakers in the circle were talking about it. Originally, everyone thought that 1.2 billion was the limit of "One Step Away".

Unexpectedly, a trip to Berlin suddenly raised the other party's box office record by nearly 400 million.

By this calculation, the cumulative box office of "One Step Away" has exceeded 1.6 billion yuan, ranking third in the list of domestic films, second only to "The Wandering Earth" and "Wolf Warrior".

Director Jiang, thanks to his trip to Berlin, naturally became a hot commodity in the eyes of major film and television companies in the mainland.

As a result, Jiang Wen and others who arrived in the capital were "surrounded" by a large number of reporters as soon as they got off the plane.

...

On the twenty-seventh, people slaughter chickens and go to the market.

On the 28th, make dough, beat rice cakes, and paste flowers on the cake.

On the 29th, make wine and steam buns.

In the days before the Spring Festival, the two did not go anywhere and stayed in the courtyard to accompany their parents.

Thanks to the crazy feeding from Gu's father and mother, Gu Wei and Miss Liu both felt that they had gained several pounds in just a few days.

On New Year's Eve, when Miss Liu was still sleeping, Gu Wei got up early and kept busy following his father.

A big house is comfortable to live in on a daily basis, but when it comes to cleaning and putting up Spring Festival couplets, it is really tiring.

After a busy morning, Gu Wei returned to the bedroom and prepared to wake up Miss Liu.

Who knew that when he went in, he saw the young lady holding a computer and watching something. Hearing the voice coming from the video sounded familiar, Gu Wei stretched his head to take a look.

Wow, the apology meeting of the "Dragon Prince" was broadcast live, but it was held on the morning of New Year's Eve, which was beyond everyone's imagination.

Gu Wei leaned on Miss Liu's shoulder and watched for a while. He had to admit that nearly three hundred media outlets came to an "apology meeting" at the same time, which was even more exaggerated than the premiere of a domestic blockbuster.

When he saw the "Dragon Prince" sincerely said: "I am really sorry, I will definitely be a law-abiding person in the future."

Gu Wei couldn't help but purse his lips. There is a saying that goes, it is easy to change the country but difficult to change one's nature.

If everyone were a law-abiding citizen, there wouldn’t be so many “bad things” in this circle.
