Chapter 641: May Fourth Youth Gala
On April 30, Gu Wei's flight landed in Beijing in the morning, and after leaving the airport, the nanny car drove directly to the CCTV building.
This year's May Fourth Gala is guided by the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee, the Ministry of Education, and the Communist Youth League, and hosted by China Central Radio and Television.
CCTV was entrusted by the above and attached great importance to this year's party, so it invited many popular young stars to perform on stage.
The party was recorded, and there was some award process, so it was held a few days in advance.
"Gu Wei~"
Backstage of CCTV, Gu Wei saw a lot of familiar faces as soon as he arrived.
Zhang Yishan came up in a white suit as soon as possible.
"Brother Wei~" He was still followed by Peng Yuchang.
Both of them are today's guest performers.
"When did you two arrive?"
"Not long after I arrived, I was chatting with Brother Yishan." Peng Yuchang was wearing a black dress with a white lining inside, looking very juvenile.
"Just now I was telling Peng Peng that he would definitely be in the limelight at this party and sing solo in the second half." Zhang Yishan said with a smile.
"Really?
I didn't read the program carefully, Peng Peng can, I felt that there was potential when I heard you sing at the party before." Gu Wei also followed Zhang Yishan's words and praised him.
"What, I'm at the KTV level, my solo is because there is a puppet show in the play, and it just so happens that my department is a little famous, so I let me sing as the background music of the performance."
Peng Yuchang scratched his head and said honestly.
Everyone knows that he went to the puppet performance department as an undergraduate.
"Your singing is the main program, and the puppet performance is similar to the effect of accompanying dance, so let's behave well" Zhang Yishan patted the little brother's shoulder, and then looked at Gu Wei.
"Look at you, you just got off the plane, right?"
"Yes, I've been filming in Yunnan, and the company came back last week, and I had to come back after a few days of filming with the crew."
"I'm watching the news, tsk, the new animated movie [Yang Jian], I'm really looking forward to it.
I don't know what kind of plot it is? ”
"At present, I just got the beginning, and at least two years after the film comes out, if you are interested, you can ask Peng Peng to take you to the animation company to visit, but don't leak the plot and character image to me." Gu Wei saw that Zhang Yishan was very interested, and said generously.
"The animation company is downstairs from our company, and I often go there when I have nothing to do with the company, and I am familiar with the dumpling director." Peng Yuchang answered.
"That's great, I'd love to check it out when I have time.
What is the main line of this story, will it be similar to [Nezha]? ”
"It's not good to tell you specifically, but there is a difference, there will be more battle scenes in [Yang Jian], and it feels a little hot-blooded," Gu Wei said.
"I'm more interested in what you say."
The three of them chatted, and the other stars in the background saw Gu Wei arrive and came over to say hello.
Other parties may have some seniors in the circle who are older and have a higher status, all the guests of the May Fourth Youth Gala are young artists, Gu Wei can be said to be the most heavyweight here, and his show is undoubtedly the finale.
"Brother Wei~
Just now, I was talking to Sister Si Chun about when you can come over."
Guan Xiaotong had long wavy hair and walked over with a pair of long legs, and next to him was Ma Sichun in a white dress.
"Brother Wei~" Walking up to Gu Wei's side, Ma Sichun greeted him with a sweet smile.
"Si Chun, long time no see." Gu Wei smiled and nodded slightly.
"Hey, I'm still standing here." Guan Xiaotong said with some dissatisfaction when she saw Gu Wei ignoring her.
"You know, you two long legs, who can't see you.
Why didn't Xiaolu come, it stands to reason that this kind of party should not invite him? ”
"Well, he has other jobs, and the time is a bit incomprehensible.
Besides, isn't there his former teammate at tonight, so he doesn't think much about it." Guan Xiaotong explained.
This year's May Fourth Gala CCTV is planning to go bigger, and almost invited several of the hottest traffic stars in the new generation.
According to what Guan Xiaotong said, in fact, Lu Han was also invited, but he didn't come because of his personal reasons.
In this way, this year's May Fourth Gala will be very attractive to young people.
Gu Wei watched the program list when he came, Zhang Yixing and Li Jiaheng each had a solo program, and Li Jiaheng was even before him.
"Yang Yang is also here today, these people in our [Left Ear] are all together with one Chen Duling" Guan Xiaotong subconsciously ignored Ou Hao.
"Speaking of which, 4 years have passed, and when we filmed [Left Ear] together, it was still the summer of 14.
Everyone seems to have grown.
Xiaotong has changed from a little girl in middle school to a big girl, and she has found a boyfriend, Si Chun has also become the queen of the Golden Horse, and even Yang Yang is now famous and has become a top streamer.
Time is such a magical thing."
After Guan Xiaotong finished speaking, Gu Wei thought of the scene where everyone filmed [Left Ear] together, just like yesterday, and said with some emotion.
"Please, you're not much older than me, don't talk so old-fashioned, okay."
Guan Xiaotong pursed his lips, while Ma Sichun looked at Gu Wei quietly on the side and didn't speak.
"Do you have anything to do in the evening, let's have a meal together after the recording of the party, I haven't been together for a long time." Gu Wei looked at the two of them and invited.
"Okay, but just the three of us?" Guan Xiaotong agreed very happily, and Ma Sichun on the side also smiled and nodded.
"And Zhang Yishan and Peng Yuchang."
"Okay, then it's decided!"
It didn't take long for the celebrities who knew Gu Wei backstage to come over to say hello one after another, and Yang Yang and Zhang Yixing also came over to say hello to Gu Wei.
Some celebrities who don't know Gu Wei, such as Hu Xianxu who made his debut as a child star, Yin Zheng of Tidal Sea Ling, Jiang Mengjie who played Lin Daiyu and other little-known young artists have come over to say hello to Gu Wei.
It's a bit like when Gu Wei first went to the Spring Festival Gala, Cheng Long or Liu Dehua was backstage, and many actors went to say hello and brush their faces.
"Huh~ Hu Xianxu, this kid can really say, he is worthy of being from Jinmen, and he is also a good hand at cross talk if he is not an actor." Sending the last Hu Xianxu out of his lounge, Gu Wei also breathed a sigh of relief.
The big guy is not so easy to be, for the stars who come to greet him, even if you don't know him, you have to be gentle, sit down and chat together.
People respect him for this action, and Gu Wei doesn't want to be rude, let alone give people the impression of a cold and big name.
Others are okay to say, basically just say two sentences and leave, Hu Xianxu, this kid sat down and didn't know where there were so many topics.
He has never cooperated with Gu Wei, but he has cooperated with Zhang Zifeng and Zhao Yanmai, and the two are very familiar with Gu Wei, and they can chat for a long time through this relationship.
"Haha, other little actors adore you, how polite"
After Hu Xianxu left, there were still Zhang Yishan and Peng Yuchang in the lounge, and the two of them had already regarded this as their own lounge.
"Didn't you find that Hu Xianxu is quite similar to you?"
"What is it like me, they are all child stars debuting?"
"He's as secret-talker as you, and he's as secret-talking."
After Gu Wei finished speaking, Peng Yuchang was picking up fun on the side.
"I'm going to make a movie with Zhou Dongyu in my next play, you filmed a TV series with her last year, what do you think of her, is it okay to get along?" After Gu Wei finished speaking, he asked Zhang Yishan again.
"It's strange, you're in college with her, do you still need to ask me this kind of question?"
"When we were in school, we didn't communicate much, she was a famous girl at that time, and she usually didn't have much time to come to class.
I had limited time to go back to school after I started filming in my sophomore year, except for the final exams, we didn't usually see each other, and we couldn't talk about any friendship at all." Gu Wei shrugged.
Zhang Yishan listened to Gu Wei's words and lowered his head and thought about it.
"Zhou Dongyu is a person, his acting skills are good, after all, the Golden Horse actress who made her debut as a girl is still very focused and dedicated when the crew is filming."
"But what?" Gu Wei knew that when Zhang Yishan said this, there must be a turning point in the future.
"Hey, hey. But she doesn't know whether she's straight or simply willful, and sometimes she will do something that makes people speechless.
It's impatient to treat the people around me.,A lot of the time it's up to your own temperament.。
Especially for some actors and crew members whose status is not as good as her, she has a very bad attitude and often dictates.
To be honest, during the filming of "Spring Breeze Ten Miles is Not as Good as You", many people in the crew did not have a very good impression of her, but the director and producer liked her a lot"
"Bullying the superior." Gu Wei was thoughtful.
When he was in school, he only thought that Zhou Dongyu was relatively cold, at that time he was just a nameless junior, and the other party was already a big star, so he didn't think anything about it.
When the two of them met again when he became famous, Zhou Dongyu was already very enthusiastic about him.
But after all, they have never worked together, and he is not interested in the little yellow duck, so he doesn't have too specific feelings.
"Then what if there is another drama asking you to work with her?" Gu Wei then asked.
"Well, in principle, I'm not willing to film with her, but I still have to look at the script and salary.
If it's a good film, we can't miss it, right, and who can't get along with money, just endure it for the sake of work." Zhang Yiyi had a hippie smile, but he was telling the truth.
Chatting with Gu Wei, he has nothing to hide, he can say whatever he wants.
Gu Wei nodded.
"You're right, no matter how willful she is, she can't be willful in front of me, it's all for work"
After chatting for a while, Zhang Yishan and Peng Yuchang left Gu Wei, and the recording of the May Fourth Youth Gala was about to begin.
The host of today's party is CCTV's Ren Luyu, Li Sisi, Nigmaiti and several others, and the first program at the beginning is Hu Xianxu and two other little stars singing "I have an appointment with 2035".
The three of them sang, and at the same time, there were teams of college students from Harbin Institute of Technology, Beihang University, and Beijing Sports University performing robots, unmanned vehicles, and holographic dazzling screens.
Today's party format is basically young stars singing, and at the same time, student teams from different universities across the country bring their own performances, after all, it is a youth party, to highlight the power of young people, and college students are the best representatives of young people.
There were more than 20 programs in the whole party, and Zhang Yishan and Zhou Dongyu appeared in the 8th place, singing the theme song "If I Love You" of "Spring Breeze Ten Miles is Not as Good as You".
Zhang Yixing is the 10th appearance, and with the cooperation of four youth Olympic champions Wu Dajing, Sun Yujie, Wu Jingyu, and Xiang Yanmei, he sang the song "Red Flag Fluttering".
Ma Sichun is also a song soloist, and she made her 15th appearance, performing the song "Once You".
In addition to various performances, there was also an award ceremony at the May Fourth Gala, where Gu Wei, Zhang Yishan, Ma Sichun and others went on stage halfway to receive the title of "May Flowers" Outstanding Young Actors.
Li Jiaheng's program is the third-to-last, and he is a solo song [The Far Place of Time].
He also knew that Gu Wei was attending today's party, but in his opinion, it had nothing to do with him.
Li Jiaheng also saw what happened in the background before, he couldn't care about what other people were, anyway, after Gu Wei arrived, he stayed in his dressing room and didn't come out, focusing on ignoring it.
However, when he saw Gu Wei on the field, the two walked opposite, and Li Jiaheng still grinned at Gu Wei, which was regarded as a hello.
Originally, the two of them didn't have any grudges, and there was some competition at the beginning, but in the current situation, the competition doesn't exist now, so they have to get by on face.
Gu Wei, who was waiting, was quite surprised to see Li Jiaheng smiling at him, but he nodded politely.
For today's party, Gu Wei originally prepared two songs, one is [May Fourth Special Edition Dislocation Time and Space], and the other is [Youth].
At first, he planned to sing "Youth", because both in terms of lyrics and melody, "Youth" is more in line with the theme of the party, and it is absolutely positive energy.
Later, after hesitating, I decided to sing [May Fourth Special Edition Dislocation Time and Space].
After all, it is a Youth Day party, and he is a little worse than singing [Youth] after all, and [May Fourth Special Edition Dislocation Time and Space] is deeper in artistic conception and can move people's hearts.
Soon Gu Wei's program was finished, and the last program was the chorus of college students from many schools on stage [The Starting Point of Happiness].
In the monitoring room of the studio hall, Zou Wei, the chief director of the May Fourth Youth Gala, looked at the performances of various stars under the camera and was very satisfied.
Especially for Gu Wei's finale show, he is confident that by the time it is broadcast on the evening of May 4, this year's May Fourth Youth Gala will definitely achieve good results far beyond previous years.
At the end of the party, Gu Wei beckoned a few friends with a good relationship to get together, and took the flight back to Yunnan early the next morning.
"Boss, there is news from [Zhenle Dao] that the later stage of [Living Together in Time and Space] has been completed, and it is currently set that the movie will be released on June 15th, before the summer season." On the way back, agent Yang Dan said to Gu Wei.
"So fast!" Gu Wei was a little surprised, after all, [Living Together in Time and Space] was only completed in March, and now it is May, and it is already very fast for a movie to do the post-production in just two months.
In the past, it took at least a year for Gu Wei to participate in the movies from filming to release, but now it has only been half a year, and Xu Zheng's efficiency is really high.
Gu Wei's "The Wandering Earth" filmed last year has not yet finished the post-production, and he has already found several special effects companies to work together.
A few days ago, he talked to Guo Fan on the phone, and the other party told him that it would not be possible to come out until the second half of the year at the earliest.
However, these two movies can't be compared, [The Wandering Earth] is a science fiction film, and it takes a lot of time and money to do special effects in the later stage, and [Living Together in Time and Space] is just an urban romance film dressed in fantasy, and the post-editing is relatively much easier.
"Director Xu means that by the middle of this month at the latest, the main creators of the crew will start running some promotional activities"
"What about Liu Yifei, have you contacted it?"
"The crew has already been contacted, [Mulan] will officially start shooting in August in the second half of the year, and Miss Liu has been in the early stage of training, and she can also find time to come back before the movie is released."
Gu Wei nodded, took out his mobile phone and glanced at it.
"[Zhenle Dao] is the 3-day schedule of the Dragon Boat Festival that was chosen, and there are no popular films released before and after, and it is also a good time period.
The release time of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" is July 5th, and the difference between the two is 20 days, so it has no impact.
And when [Living Together in Time and Space] is a big hit, it is just to use the popularity to promote the [God of Medicine], and there will be no delay."
At that time, in order to make [I Am Not the God of Medicine] more popular when it was released, Gu Wei made a cameo appearance in the role of the male protagonist's brother-in-law, in order to take over his fame and make the movie more popular.
