Huayu is free to do as you like

On April 20, the 9th Beijing International Film Festival was held at the Huairou National China Film Digital Production Base.

At 5 pm, the red carpet area outside the venue was surrounded by reporters who came to shoot and interview, and the guests who arrived also walked on the red carpet in their best clothes.

Reba arrived early. Under the flash of the media, she walked to the center of the shooting venue in a golden dress like a goddess of beauty.

Since becoming popular, Reba's aura has become more and more full. It is said that fame nourishes people. In the entertainment industry, this sentence is very reasonable.

The character created by Jiaxing for her is the beauty queen of the domestic entertainment industry. Reba has a beautiful appearance and three-dimensional features. She is 168 cm tall and has a very good body proportion. She has a small head, big breasts, a slim waist, and long legs. She can control any style of dress, so she has a stunning performance every time she walks on the red carpet.

Bingbing has disappeared from the domestic entertainment industry because of what happened last year. Reba has taken over her red carpet stunner, and she is praised by the media every time she walks the red carpet.

After walking down the red carpet and entering the lounge, many celebrities and artists present were resting and chatting here, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

Reba found a seat and sat down. Many people came to the film festival awards ceremony today. Not to mention foreign filmmakers, there were no less than 100 well-known domestic filmmakers, which can be said to be a star-studded group of stars.

Unfortunately, she was the only one from Jiaxing who came to the scene. She had never met most of the other stars. Reba was not an extrovert, so she could only sit there quietly and pretend to be a lady.

After a while, a few people came in at the door. Reba, who was bored, saw them and her eyes lit up, and then she stood up.

"Gu Wei~"

It was the crew of "The Wandering Earth" who came in.

Gu Wei was wearing a black suit, and he was surrounded by director Guo Fan, screenwriter Gong Geer, visual effects director Xu Jian and others.

Wu Jing was unable to come back because of filming "The Climbers".

"Reba, you're here early~" Gu Wei greeted Reba with a smile when he saw her coming over.

The two separated after the plane landed yesterday. He went back to the company, and Reba also had her own work to do.

"I have an opening performance, so of course I have to arrive early."

"Opening dance, right? Is it a frontier dance?"

"No, it's a bit like ballet, the four little swans, you'll know when it starts~"

"Okay, I'll see your wonderful performance later."

After chatting for a few words, Reba went backstage to change clothes and wait for the show, while Gu Wei greeted and chatted with various people in the lounge.

There were a lot of people attending the film festival awards ceremony today, some of them had their works shortlisted, and some of them were the entire crew coming to promote.

For example, the crew of "The Captain", Yu Dong led the main creators to the scene.

This movie had also approached Gu Wei at the beginning, but he didn't accept it, and the male lead is still Zhang Hanyu.

Everyone is an old friend, and it's inevitable to chat after meeting.

". [The Wandering Earth] is so well made, with a super high box office of 5.3 billion and various honors.

Why didn't I have the vision to invest in this drama in the first place?"

After chatting with Gu Wei for a few words, Yu Dong looked at Guo Fan and others around him and said with envy.

"Director Guo, if you need any help from Bona in the future, just ask."

"Director Yu, this is wrong. Why are you poaching people in front of me?" Gu Wei laughed.

"It's not poaching. I just admire Director Guo's talent and want to have a good relationship with him."

"I appreciate Director Yu's kindness. If there is a suitable opportunity in the future, we will definitely work together." Guo Fan accepted Yu Dong's kindness. Since the success of [The Wandering Earth], he has been surrounded by people who show goodwill to him.

At about the same time, all the people present entered the ceremony hall one after another.

As an international film festival, the Beijing Film Festival has attracted many foreigners, including some faces that are very familiar to domestic audiences.

".That's Sophie Marceau, right? French Kiss, so beautiful!" Guo Fan exclaimed as he looked at the white woman in a black dress not far from the side.

Gu Wei also saw it, turned his head and glanced at Guo Fan: "Do you like her?"

"I like her movies, [First Kiss] is so beautiful~"

Gu Wei nodded.

"She was really beautiful when she was young, but it's a pity that white actresses can't resist aging. French Kiss is already over 50, and the beauty is fading."

The two chatted and the ceremony started soon.

Gu Wei saw Reba on the stage as he wished.

She was wearing a golden ballet dance costume, with delicate and three-dimensional features. She looked like a golden swan princess against the background of the surrounding dancers.

Reba learned to dance since she was a child, and performing on stage was not difficult for her. She raised her hands and stretched her legs, and her movements were graceful and charming.

The dance lasted for more than two minutes. Her program was one of the opening medleys. After the music ended, she had to leave the stage quickly to make room for the performers behind.

The lights on the stage dimmed, and Reba accidentally fell down while trotting from the center of the stage to the side.

Because her ballet shoes and white figure pants were slippery, she slid forward more than two meters.

However, Reba did not delay, and took advantage of the momentum of the fall to get up and walk off the stage in a slightly embarrassed manner.

Many people in the audience saw this scene.

". Is Miss Reba okay?" Guo Fan obviously saw it too, and he knew that Gu Wei had a good relationship with her.

"Well, it seems that there is no big problem, just a fall." Gu Wei said that it was nothing, and took out the mobile phone in his pocket and sent a message to Reba.

The award ceremony went on normally, and there was no change because of this small mistake.

It took about 20 minutes for Reba to reply.

“Nothing, I fell and it hurts a bit.

Was it embarrassing just now?”

“No, because of the dim light, few people should have seen it. You performed a great dance and your reaction was very fast.”

“Woo woo, I’m always stupid and I mess up things~”

“Haha, it’s okay, wait for me after you’re done, and let’s have a midnight snack together after the ceremony.”

“Okay.”

After sending a few WeChat messages to Reba, Gu Wei’s attention turned back to the award ceremony.

This year’s Beijing International Film Festival deserves the word “international”, and most of the awards were given to participating foreign films.

Only the best screenwriter was given to Chen Jianbin, the screenwriter of the movie [The Eleventh Chapter], and the best supporting actress was given to Dou Jingtong of [The Eleventh Chapter].

[The Wandering Earth] was not in vain, and won the Best Visual Effects Award.

Foreign films and actors in the best director, best film, best actor and best actress.

"What's wrong with the Beijing International Film Festival? Even if they don't care about local films, they don't have to be like this, right?" Gu Wei has been watching the award ceremony, frowning slightly.

The Beijing International Film Festival has been held since 2011, which happened to be the year when Gu Wei made his debut.

The next year, [The Swordsman] was shortlisted for the award, and Gu Wei went with Lu Yang to participate. Although he didn't win the award, he clearly remembered that [The Grandmaster] was the biggest winner of the film festival that year, winning several heavyweight awards including the Best Actress.

Now, seven years have passed, and the Temple of Heaven Award has become a carnival for foreigners.

"The organizer wants to internationalize and expand the international influence of the film festival. This year, there are only two Chinese jury members, Cao Baoping and Liu Jialing, and the rest are foreigners," Guo Fan explained in Gu Wei's ear.

After [The Wandering Earth] was nominated for the "Temple of Heaven Award", he learned about this film festival in detail.

"Internationalization?" Gu Wei curled his lips with some disdain.

He has always believed that if you want to have authority and influence, your own strength is the most important thing, not relying on giving benefits to others.

As the saying goes, "If you say blooming flowers come, butterflies will come."

After the award ceremony, Gu Wei was about to leave when La Peikang stopped him.

".I heard from Guo Fan that he has two plans for the sequel of "The Wandering Earth". After discussing with you, do you suggest that he shoot the prequel first?"

"Yes, I think there are not many stories to tell in the prequel, so we can shoot it first."

"I talked to Guo Fan for a while. According to his plan, it will take at least three years to shoot the second part, and it will take another three or four years to prepare for the third part after it is released.

Is it possible to shoot the second and third parts together?

This way, after the film is finished, "The Wandering Earth 2" can be released in the first year, and then "The Wandering Earth 3" can be released in the second year."

Gu Wei understood after La Peikang said that, and he frowned slightly.

"It's possible, but it's a bit too hasty.

I've discussed with Director Guo before that the investment in [The Wandering Earth 2] will definitely be much larger than the first one, and the production cost will be nearly 1 billion RMB.

We can shoot 2 first and then wait for the box office to recover after the release before shooting 3. There will be no pressure. If we shoot together, we will have to come up with nearly 2 billion in filming funds."

La Peikang waved his hand.

"Money is not a problem. We can introduce more investors. Gu Wei, if you don't want to divide too much share, the bank will be willing to lend.

The risk is a bit higher, but I believe [The Wandering Earth] will not let us down!" After saying that, he patted Gu Wei on the shoulder.

"Domestic science fiction movies have made a good start now. I hope that the follow-up can catch up as soon as possible and make more achievements."

Gu Wei thought about it and understood what La Peikang meant.

The other party is completely considering the problem from an official perspective. He doesn't care about the profit or loss of the movie. He just wants to make more achievements in domestic science fiction movies as soon as possible.

The copyright of [The Wandering Earth] is currently jointly controlled by China Film and [Wei Ming Tianxia], and the project is controlled by Guo Fan, so La Peikang has to convince Gu Wei and Guo Fan to have this idea.

"I have no objection, but the filming of [The Wandering Earth] involves too many things, so we still need to sit down and discuss it carefully before making a decision."

"Okay, there is no need to rush about this matter. I just have a general idea. When you have time, Director Guo, let's have a meeting to talk about what to do next."

After declining La Peikang's invitation to dinner, Gu Wei came out and met up with Reba. The two found a private high-end restaurant for a midnight snack and then drove to [Fanyue 108] community.

"Sure enough, it's still on the hot search." The next morning, Gu Wei and Reba were eating breakfast, and Reba said helplessly while looking at the news on her mobile phone.

Gu Wei also saw that the 10th hot search was # Reba wrestling at the Beijing Film Festival #

Clicking on the title, in addition to the introduction of the incident, there is also a video of Reba wrestling at the time. The camera is a bit far away, but you can still see her embarrassment.

"You can be on the hot search even if you fall down, which means you are popular!" Gu Wei said with a smile.

"I would rather not have this popularity, it's too embarrassing." Reba said a little depressed.

"Haha, it's actually a good thing to make a small mistake occasionally, and the personality is more down-to-earth"

"That's the only way to comfort myself."

After breakfast, the two went out.

Reba still has a lot of work to do, and she has to leave in Beijing after two days.

Gu Wei also has a lot of things to do when he returns to the company. The most important thing at the moment is to make all the preparations for the filming in Tokyo.

Fortunately, the producer and several assistant directors of the crew will be fully responsible for this aspect, but some things also need Gu Wei to make the final decision.

On April 24, Gu Wei flew to Changsha to record [Escape the Room].

After entering the program group, he met with director He Shu first, and after returning to the hotel, Gu Wei received a message from Yang Mi.

"Have you arrived in Changsha?"

"I have, just settled down in the hotel."

"Come out, let's have a meal together~"

"No problem, where to go?"

"You go downstairs to the lobby first"

After a while, Gu Wei went downstairs to the lobby on the first floor and saw Yang Mi and Xie Yilin sitting on the sofa in the lobby waiting for him.

"Mi sister~" Gu Wei raised his hand to greet.

"You are so slow, and you actually let us two girls wait for you, it's so ungentlemanly"

"Please, you are the one who invited me to dinner, and I came down after replying your message."

The two of them quarreled with each other, and then Gu Wei greeted Xie Yilin.

"Hello, Yilin, long time no see~

I remember the last time we met was at an awards ceremony, right?"

"【Bazaar Charity Night】, we all went to the Little Times, it's been more than a year.

But Gu Wei, you are still so handsome!" Xie Yilin praised Gu Wei's face.

"Haha, thank you, you are also very beautiful~" Gu Wei praised back and asked Yang Mi "Where are we going to eat?"

"I have booked the restaurant and the seat, just go there now."

"Okay, I'm a little hungry."

The three of them left the hotel, got on a special nanny car, and soon arrived at a local specialty restaurant.

"Sauce duck, chopped pepper fish head, braised pork

Mi Mi, aren't you afraid of getting fat by ordering so many meat dishes?"

In the restaurant's private room, Xie Yilin swallowed her saliva as she looked at the dishes served. She was very greedy but really didn't dare to eat too much.

"Aren't there two vegetarian dishes here? Those are for Gu Wei, he can eat them," Yang Mi said nonchalantly.

"Can you do it? Aren't you afraid of getting fat?" Male stars also have body anxiety and need to control their weight, especially young traffic stars like Gu Wei.

Gu Wei smiled and said, "I have a special physique. I won't get fat no matter how much I eat, so I usually eat casually. As long as it tastes good, I will eat a lot."

"I envy your physique that doesn't get fat!"

The dishes were served, and the three of them chatted while eating.

"Haven't you joined the crew to film recently?" Gu Wei asked casually after taking a bite of the red braised pork.

"Yes, I am filming [Eye of the Storm], which started filming at the beginning of this month. It is a crime-themed TV series produced by the company and Perfect World."

"Oh, not bad, trying a new theme, are you going to transform?"

"It's still early, let's see how the broadcast results are."

"By the way, Penguin asked me to play [The Lady of the Pearls]. Do you want to join?" Yang Mi said with a pair of big eyes looking at Gu Wei.

"Forget it. The name sounds like a female-led ancient drama. After playing in [Do You Know?] and [Si Teng], I don't want to play this type of drama for the time being.

Besides, after [Detective Chinatown 3], I have to start a costume drama for my company, so I don't have enough time."

"You can work with Zhao Liying and Jing Tian, ​​but not with me, right?

I understand. Anyway, I'm used to being rejected by you." Yang Mi deliberately sighed.

Gu Wei smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Mi, what are you doing? We worked together on [Gu Jian Qi Tan], [Three Lives Three Worlds] and [Brotherhood of Blades 2]. It seems that no actress in the domestic entertainment industry has worked with me more than three times except you. I can't always work with you, the audience will get tired of it, right?

Of course, the most important thing is the schedule issue. My schedule is too full."

"You always have a reason~" Yang Mi snorted. She just complained a few words, but she understood it in her heart.

Xie Yilin ate food on the side and didn't join the conversation between the two.

She knew that Yang Mi and Gu Wei had a good relationship. After meeting and listening to their conversation, she realized that there must be something going on between them...
