Chapter 568: I said it wasn't my work, but they didn't believe it
Gu Wei did not participate in the [ByteDance] financing celebration party, firstly, he did not have any common topics with these financial people, and secondly, he had another appointment that night.
This trip back to Beijing to participate in the celebration banquet of [Wolf Warrior 2], although the media was not invited, but with the current popularity of the movie, this kind of event was reported by relevant media the next day.
Knowing that after he returned to Beijing, Liu Yifei took the initiative to send a message to invite him to his home for dinner, saying that Liu's mother hoped that he could come over.
It just so happened that Gu Wei also had time, so naturally he didn't mind going to eat this meal.
"You're here" Less than ten seconds after pressing the doorbell, the door opened from the inside, and Liu Yifei's figure appeared at the entrance.
She was wearing a pink loungewear, looking comfortable and casual, with no makeup on her face, but her skin was still fair and transparent, and her posture was gorgeous.
Seeing Gu Wei arrive, Liu Yifei seemed very happy and hurriedly let him in.
"Sister Yifei, come here so late, I'm sorry"
Gu Wei went into the house to change his shoes, and handed over the two gift bags in his hand by the way.
"What?" After Liu Yifei took it, he was curious to open it and look at it, and he didn't have anything to be polite to Gu Wei.
"An LV bag and scarf, for you and your aunt, I think the style is pretty good, I hope you can like it."
"Ah, you have to bring something every time you come, don't be so polite!" While speaking, Liu Yifei had already opened two gift boxes.
A silk beige scarf with a printed pattern, and a small black bag with LV logo.
"You can't come here and eat and drink for nothing, that's embarrassing.
How do you like it? ”
"It's all pretty good, which one is for me?"
"The scarf is for you, and the LV logo on the bag is too obvious, and it doesn't fit when you take it out."
"It's quite careful, but it doesn't matter, I don't have any relevant competitive endorsements now, maybe I will invite me to be a spokesperson with LV a few times."
"Haha~ I hope so, if Sister Yifei can also be a spokesperson, we can also have more opportunities to work together"
Speaking of this, Liu Yifei put down the scarf in his hand and looked at Gu Wei with deep meaning.
"Really, aren't you working well with the current global spokesperson Scarlett, the Internet says that you two have a great relationship."
Gu Wei touched his nose.
"It's all blind reports from foreign media, plus LV has a need for publicity, and I also know that I have been a lot of scandals, and Scarlett is just more famous."
"Oh? yes?
So you're not familiar with it, are you? ”
"No, I met her when we went to New York to shoot [Tang Detective 2] in 15 years, and this time it was also a coincidence that we could work together again.
Scarlett is still a good person, and we are very happy to work together" Gu Wei thought of Scarlett's fiery figure and the time spent in those few days, and added in his heart.
'Yes, it was very pleasant, I had a great time with her.'
Of course, Liu Yifei doesn't know the deep meaning of Gu Wei's words, she spends a period of time in the United States every year, and she has a clear understanding of some news on the Internet.
In fact, when the scandal between Gu Wei and Scarlett spread, she thought it was nonsense, but it was really because the two of them had different fields, one was domestic entertainment and the other was Hollywood, and they may not have seen it before, so the scandal was most likely for publicity.
"I didn't expect you to know each other at that time, your guy's woman popularity is too good, and you can be welcomed by beautiful women everywhere." Liu Yifei led Gu Wei into the door and put the two gift bags on the cabinet on the side.
"I can only blame me for being too handsome, after all, this is recognized by foreigners, everyone has a love for beauty, and I can't help it."
"You're not humble at all." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes, of course she knew the name of Gu Weishi's first marshal.
"It's Gu Wei who has arrived, right?"
The two were chatting, and Liu Xiaoli walked out of the kitchen wearing a pale yellow apron.
"Hello Auntie"
"Okay, you can talk to Yifei for a while, and my meal will be ready in a while."
"It's hard to be an aunt"
"What's polite, it's the same as at home." With that, he turned and went back to the kitchen.
"I told her to let the aunt who cooks it, she has to cook it herself."
"Auntie is also a heart~"
Liu Yifei pursed his lips.
"But she didn't make it taste good herself."
Gu Wei and Liu Yifei were chatting in the living room, and after a while, Liu Xiaoli's dishes were ready, and the three of them sat down to eat.
"Auntie, your craftsmanship is good, and it tastes better than the last time I came to make it."
Gu Wei praised while eating the vegetables.
"Sycophant" Liu Yifei listened to Gu Wei's words and complained in his heart.
Liu Xiaoli smiled.
"Yes, eat more if it's delicious, your parents are not in the capital, you can come over when you have time.
I've heard Sissi say that she goes to your family charity fund, your parents take good care of her, and you don't have to be polite to your aunt."
"I'd love to, but I'm too busy."
"No matter how busy you are, you have to eat, and you will come often when you have time in the future."
"Okay, Auntie~"
"Gu Wei, your recent movie is so popular, I went to the cinema with Chang Chang a few days ago to watch it." Liu Yifei couldn't listen to her mother's politeness with Gu Wei, and interjected a sentence to change the topic.
"How do you feel, is it worth the fare?"
"Of course it's worth it, the rhythm is very similar to some Hollywood action blockbusters, the story plot design is also relatively good, and the most important thing is that the action and gunfight scenes are shot very well, which is an absolute masterpiece in domestic action movies." Liu Yifei first praised him.
"However, although the movie is wonderful, I never expected to achieve such exaggerated box office results now.
After today, the box office of [Wolf Warrior 2] should be able to officially exceed 5 billion.
5 billion yuan, or a single market box office results.
Many of Hollywood's big-selling movies have been hit by this at the global box office."
Saying that, Liu Yifei looked at Gu Wei with a pair of beautiful eyes.
"How did you do that?"
"I'm just an actor, [Wolf Warrior 2] is Wu Jing's film, you should ask him this question" Gu Wei took a bite of the dish and put it in his mouth, although he praised Liu Xiaoli, but this table dish is also this tomato scrambled egg, which tastes good.
"Although Wu Jing is the director, I always feel that you are the key to the box office hit.
After all, [Wolf Warrior 1] is only more than 500 million, and Wu Jing has never starred in a movie with a box office of more than 1 billion before.
By the time you got to the upper part [Tang Detective 2], it had reached 3.9 billion, and now this one has gone up two steps at once."
Liu Yifei's thoughts also represent the views of many insiders and audiences.
Although Wu Jing is the soul of the [Wolf Warrior] series, the box office of the first part is relatively average, and the previous personal box office results are not ideal.
Wu Jingzu jumped from level 10 to level 100, and soared into the sky with the help of a movie [Wolf Warrior 2], lacking process and heritage, and people will always wonder if it will be a flash in the pan.
On the other hand, Gu Wei has a box office of more than 200 million from the beginning of his debut, to 800 million box office of [Left Ear], 1 billion box office of [Tang Detective 1], 2.67 billion box office of [Monster Hunt], and 3.9 billion box office of [Tang Detective 2].
His growth and box office appeal are in everyone's eyes, and no one will doubt Gu Wei's role in [Wolf Warrior 2].
In fact, whether it is Gu Wei or Wu Jing, they don't care too much about who plays a bigger role in the movie.
The [Wolf Warrior] series is Wu Jing's film, but Gu Wei has always been an investor, and their core purpose is to do a good job in the movie.
However, similar to movies with two male protagonists or multiple male protagonists, everyone likes to discuss who is more important and who has a greater impact on the movie.
Sometimes several main actors will secretly compare each other, competing to win and lose.
For example, Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei in the earliest [Painted Skin], and Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang in the later [Embarrassment] series.
In [Painted Skin], Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei competed for the coffee position as actors, and Xu Zheng completely replaced Wang Baoqiang in [Hong Kong Embarrassment].
Although part of the reason for this is that the salary has not been negotiated, Baoqiang wants to convert the salary into investment, of course Xu Zheng will not agree to love money so much, but there is no shortage of him who wants to prove that the [Embarrassment] series is his Xu Zheng's movie, and Wang Baoqiang is not indispensable.
This kind of dispute is often a lose-lose situation in the end.
Without Baoqiang's reputation, Wang Baoqiang himself has lost the opportunity to participate in the [Embarrassment] series of movies.
"You think too highly of me, the success of [Wolf Warrior 2] is the right time, the right movie was launched at the right time, which aroused the audience's patriotic feelings, I am actually not that important.
Even without my participation, this film would have achieved a box office of more than 5 billion."
Gu Wei said the truth, but looking at Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli's reactions, they didn't agree.
He was also very helpless, everyone thought he was powerful, and no one believed him when he told the truth, they just felt that he was humble.
"What has Sister Yifei been busy with lately?"
"I was relatively idle, and in the first half of the year, I made a fantasy movie called [Second Generation Goblin], and then I received an invitation to [Living Together in Time and Space].
It's really late enough for this drama to start, and it won't start filming until the end of the year." Liu Yifei complained.
Gu Wei was a little embarrassed, this was actually his pot.
Originally, the [Time and Space Cohabitation] plan was to start in the second half of the year, but because Gu Wei had no schedule, it was forced to be pushed to the end of the year.
"Li Guangjie told me about this movie, fantasy romantic comedy, this genre is not common in domestic movies, it is a bit similar to [Monster Hunt]." Li Guangjie also starred in [The Second Generation Goblin], playing a villain boss.
"Do you still know Mr. Li Guangjie?"
"I'm working on a movie with him, and we always talk together when we're down.
If I'm not mistaken, this is Sister Yifei's first time acting in a comedy, right? ”
"Indeed, it is the first time that I have debuted in so many years." Liu Yifei nodded.
"How's it feeling to be a funny girl?"
"I didn't think it was any different, but it was nice to be able to try different styles of acting."
