Chapter 206: Tenderness Like Water
On January 8, the epic love masterpiece [Taiping Wheel], which had been released for more than 1 month, was released, and only achieved a box office of 195 million.
Big investment, big production, and the joining of top actors from China, Japan and South Korea did not make the box office of this movie go further.
It turns out that the movie is not well made, and no matter how big the actor is, it is useless.
Zhang Ziyi, Jin Chengwu, Huang Xiaoming, Song Huiqiao, and Masami Nagasawa are still ineffective, and the audience just doesn't buy it.
Brother Xiao Ming never thought that the big production of international directors had never fought for the low-cost romantic comedy starring him at the box office.
"The Best Life of a Spoiled Woman" was also released a few days ago, with a box office of 230 million, slightly exceeding [Taiping Wheel].
But the cost of this love movie is less than one-fifth of that of [Taiping Wheel].
Gu Wei now understands a little why, from this year onwards, those traffic stars are so popular with capital, and why the two who returned from South Korea are highly praised by film and television companies.
Now there are many well-known actors in the film and television industry, although the coffee position is very large and the national degree is very high, but if you want to say that the box office appeal is very mysterious.
If you meet a good director with a good script, the box office may explode, but if the director or the script pulls the crotch, the movie will be ugly.
But traffic stars are different, and the traffic stars at this time in 15 years still have their own fan audiences.
No matter how bad the movie is, the avid fans alone can rush down to hundreds of millions of box office, as long as the cost of the movie is controlled, it is very easy to return to the cost.
If you can fool some passers-by to come in and watch the movie, or the quality of the movie is better, then it is natural to get a high box office.
Before that, the best example is director Guo Xiaosi.
Although he is not a traffic star, his movies are completely fan movies, no matter how bad the movie is, he makes a lot of money just by relying on book fans.
Of course, the current Gu Wei is not qualified to say anything about others, because he is also one of the stars who have received traffic benefits.
In 2014, two hit TV series made him attract countless fans, including some die-hard fans and fanatical fans.
An ancient puppet and a current puppet also allow Gu Wei to attract audiences with different preferences in an all-round way, whether you like to watch costume dramas or modern dramas, there is always a Gu Wei that is suitable for you.
As of now, at the beginning of 15 years, it is not an exaggeration to say that Gu Wei is the male star with the most fans among the younger generation of domestic entertainment.
Although Lu Han and Li Jiaheng are also very popular, after all, they have just returned to China and have not yet released their works.
Most of their fans are brought from EXO, which is relatively limited, and there are many young people in China who don't pay attention to Hallyu.
The three little ones have just started in the past two years, and their popularity is still gradually accumulating, and they have to wait until the Spring Festival Gala to gradually become a household name.
The older generation of traffic stars, like Zhang Han and Han Geng, have not had any good works online in the past two years, and their popularity has decreased somewhat.
Especially Zhang Han, after breaking up with Zheng Shuang in June 14, not only did his popularity plummet, but he was also chased and scolded by many fans of Shuangzi.
In October, he posted a photo of himself eating beef noodles on Weibo, and was also commented by Shuangzi's fans below, "Zheng Shuang has lost weight like this, are you still in the mood to eat beef noodles?" "Then came all kinds of abuse.
Throughout 2014, Gu Wei was quite a standout among the young actors in domestic entertainment, and his excellent works allowed him to achieve a double harvest of popularity and word of mouth.
It is precisely for this reason that Anle Film and Television is willing to spend a lot of money to invite Gu Wei to come to the rescue, just because he saw the traffic that comes with him.
The crew of [Weiwei] has returned to Beijing one after another, and director Lin Yufen has begun to devote his main work to the post-production of the TV series.
As a modern drama, this TV series is relatively simple to do in the later stage, but the pictures about the game in the TV series are a little more laborious to make.
There is a specialization in the art industry, and the editing and post-production of TV series are naturally completed by directors and editors, and Gu Wei only needs to wait for the finished film to come out.
Director Lin gave Gu Wei an estimated time, and the later stage of [Weiwei] would be completed in more than two months.
This speed is already fast, thanks to [Weiwei] is a modern drama and only has 30 episodes.
Like Gu Wei's previous filming of [Ancient Sword Strange Tan], it took more than a year from post-production to release.
In the evening, after coming out of the company, Gu Wei drove to the Louis Vuitton store in a nearby shopping mall to buy a women's bag, and took a bouquet of bright red roses from the flower shop on the street.
The car drove to the underground parking lot of a high-end community, and Gu Wei took the elevator upstairs alone.
Familiar with the way to the door of a house, press the doorbell.
Soon, the door was opened.
Zeng Li was wearing a light brown lounge clothes, stepping on a pair of pink slippers, combing his hair into a refreshing bun, and seeing Gu Wei at the door, a bright smile appeared on his beautiful face.
"Sister Li, I'm back.
It's a gift for you. ”
Gu Wei said and handed over the flowers in his hand and the bag containing the bag.
"Thank you~"
Zeng Li took the flowers and gifts, but didn't look at them carefully, obviously her happiness had nothing to do with the gifts, it was entirely because of Gu Wei's arrival.
Put the things aside, bend down and help Gu Wei take out the slippers from the shoe cabinet.
Although the loungewear is a little loose, this action still shows the beautiful curves of the mature woman in front of Gu Wei.
After entering the door, Gu Wei took off his mask and hat and hung his coat on a hanger on the side.
"Go wash your hands, I've got the food ready."
Zeng Li put the shoes in the entrance and said to Gu Wei.
After a while, both of them were seated at the dining table in the dining room.
There are four dishes and one soup on the table, two meat and two vegetarian dishes, although he is a vegetarian, but because Gu Wei is coming, Zeng Li still made two meat dishes intimately.
Gu Wei was not polite, picked up the fragrant white rice, and began to eat the vegetables.
After a busy day, he was indeed a little hungry.
The rice is fragrant, soft and delicate, Gu Wei sandwiched a piece of braised pork ribs, the taste is crispy, the meat is fresh and tender, and I feel that Zeng Li's cooking skills have improved.
"Hmm~ It's delicious, Sister Li, your cooking skills are amazing.
Definitely a model of a good wife and mother. ”
"Let's eat more if it's delicious~"
Hearing Gu Wei's praise and seeing him look very fragrant when he ate, Zeng Li was also very happy.
A big smile appeared on his face, and a pair of beautiful big eyes narrowed into a crooked crescent.
She picked up the rice, took a bite of the fried shredded potatoes in front of her, and ate it.
Under the yellow light of the kitchen, two people sat quietly on both sides of the small dining table to eat, and the atmosphere was particularly warm for a while.
Zeng Li ate two bites of food, looked up at Gu Wei who was gobbling up food, and was also in a trance for a while.
It's 2015 now, and she still clearly remembers that at the beginning of 13, during the casting of the [Detective Chinatown] movie, she went to audition for the first time to meet Gu Wei.
At that time, when she saw Gu Wei for the first time, she only thought that this director was so young and very handsome.
She graduated from the Chinese Opera Performance Department, and she thinks she has seen many handsome guys for many years, but Gu Wei's appearance is also the top actor she knows.
Later, I unexpectedly got the news that I was selected, and through slow contact, I gradually got to know Gu Wei's temperament and temperament.
It's just that at that time, she just regarded Gu Wei as a handsome and gentle big boy.
would never have thought that I, who was nearly 40 years old, would have a relationship with this big boy who was almost a generation worse than me, and it has remained until now.
She knew very well in her heart that with the age difference between the two people, there would be almost no future.
So after the filming of [Tang Detective] was completed, she never took the initiative to find Gu Wei.
I just hope that with the passage of time, the relationship between the two people can slowly fade and finally return to the distance of ordinary friends.
It's a pity that Gu Wei came to her from time to time, and she couldn't refuse at all, so she could only treat her gently.
Fortunately, Gu Wei brought her all the good things.
Youth, vitality and enthusiasm made her feel a joy that she had never experienced before.
In her career, Gu Wei also gave her a lot of help.
After the release of the movie, her acting career, which has not improved for more than ten years, has also ushered in new development.
It turned out that she could only play supporting roles in some film and television dramas, and after the movie was released, many heroines' scripts slowly came to her.
Looking at Gu Wei's young and handsome face in front of him, Zeng Li secretly sighed in his heart.
"Enemy~"
"Sister Li, what do you want?"
Eliminating a piece of ribs in the bowl, Gu Wei found that Zeng Li's eyes were a little stunned when he looked at him.
"Ah~nothing~"
Zeng came back to his senses and disguised.
"I'm thinking about a TV series coming to me, thinking about whether to pick it up?"
"What TV series? Tell me about it. ”
Gu Wei asked curiously.
"A TV series co-directed by directors Li Jun and Li Xiao is called [Bei Shangguang Don't Believe in Tears], looking for me to play the heroine."
Zeng Li said.
There is indeed such a TV series looking for her, and when it starts after the New Year, she has already read the script and thinks it's not bad.
"[Beishangguang doesn't believe in tears]?"
Gu Wei muttered to himself.
He has a little impression of this drama, although it is not a TV series with big ratings, but the broadcast performance is also above average among the TV dramas in the past 15 years.
The original version seems to have been played by Ma Yili and Zhu Yawen, and now because of his butterfly effect, now the heroine has found Zeng Li.
"I've heard people talk about this TV series, you can leave my sister next."
Gu Wei said.
"Okay, listen to you."
Zeng Li agreed with a smile.
She doesn't pay much attention to whether she connects with TV series or not, since Gu Wei said so, then it's good next.
After eating, Zeng Li sent Gu Wei to rest and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks by himself.
Gu Wei was not polite, came to the living room, sat on the sofa, and swiped his mobile phone boringly.
There are two movies released on the market today, one is Wang Jiawei's "Grandmaster" (3D), and the other is Lu Han's first movie after returning to China [20 years old again].
The reason why [The Grandmaster] is marked with 3D is because this movie has been released in 2013, and a 3D remake has been made after two years and re-released.
It is impossible to want a high box office, but with the brand of Wang Jiawei and [Generation Grandmaster], you can still earn some money.
Although Gu Wei is not very interested in Wang Jiawei, he has to admire that other people's movies are really good.
It took 10 years to complete the production of [The Grandmaster], although it deceived investors, but after the movie was released, it also won numerous awards.
A few years ago, because Zhang Ziyi was involved in the turmoil of "Triple Gate", her reputation and personal image have almost completely collapsed, and in the Chinese film industry, there is no room for her to survive.
But the release of [Generation Grandmaster] made her turn around and almost returned to the top.
In this movie, she dedicated her impeccable acting skills and won 12 actresses, including the Golden Horse Award and the Academy Award.
Her experience also tells all actors in the entertainment industry that as long as you have real strength, you can turn over even if the house collapses, of course, provided that you don't break the law.
[Return to 20 Years Old] has been playing the Luhan card from publicity to release, but in fact, Yang Zishan, the real protagonist of this movie, can be seen by looking at the name, this movie is about the heroine played by Yang Zishan, who returns to the story of a 20-year-old girl from an old lady.
Lu Han can only be regarded as the second male lead in the movie, but whoever makes him the most popular now, it is understandable for the producer to promote under his banner.
The world is fair, and it is promoted under the banner of Lu Han, if the movie is a box office hit in the end, then everyone will naturally attribute the credit to him.
After a while, Zeng Li finished cleaning up in the kitchen and walked over and sat next to Gu Wei.
"What are you looking at?"
"Look at what's coming out lately."
After speaking, he put down his phone and hugged Zeng Li in his arms.
The big beauty is fragrant and soft, and it feels great to hold it in your arms.
"Don't make trouble~"
Zeng Li's face was a little red, and he struggled slightly embarrassedly.
"I didn't make a fuss, I just wanted to get closer to my sister."
Gu Wei said in her ear.
Now Zeng Li's ears turned red.
Gu Wei didn't go any further, just quietly hugged Zeng Li.
Zeng Li didn't move, and the two of them quietly enjoyed the warmth of the moment.
"Sister Li, do you blame me?"
After a while, Gu Wei suddenly asked.
"Why do you ask?"
Zeng Li is a little strange.
"We didn't have the opportunity to see each other very much throughout last year, and we usually just send WeChat or make phone calls, I thought you would be unhappy."
This was Zeng Li, who was in Gu Wei's arms, and turned around to face him face to face.
Looking at Gu Wei's clear eyes, he reached out and slowly stroked his young and handsome cheeks.
"Fool, how can I blame you, I've been in the industry for almost 20 years, and of course I know how busy and popular you were last year.
That's how we do it, once you join the group to film, you can't see anyone for a few months, and if you think of me occasionally, I'm very happy. ”
"When the rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala is finished tomorrow, I will join the group again, and the movie I promised before has been waiting for me.
Originally, I wanted to stay with you for a while when I returned to Beijing this time. ”
Gu Wei said in a low voice.
"You're still young, your career is important, your sister is here, when do you have time, come to me, I've always been there"
Gu Wei looked at Zeng Li's beautiful face, this is a beautiful face in Da Qingyi, the real atmospheric beauty, even the years can't reduce its beauty, it can only add a mature charm to it.
He only felt how lucky he was to be favored by this beautiful woman in this life.
Since he had a relationship with Zeng Li, for almost two years, Zeng Li has never made any material demands to him.
Even if the two didn't see each other for a long time because of work, they never expressed any dissatisfaction with him.
Every time they met, they were soft-spoken, wrapped around him as gently as water, never asking for it, but meeting all his requirements.
Thinking of this, Gu Wei stood up and hugged Zeng Liheng.
"Ahh
Zeng Li was caught off guard by Gu Wei's sudden movements, and wrapped his hands around his neck.
"Sister Li, I miss you~"
Gu Wei looked into her eyes and said softly, and then walked in the direction of the bedroom with Zeng Li in his arms.
