Chapter 817 New Year’s Wishes
After the performance, Gu Wei returned backstage.
Pushing open the dressing room door, Reba was making a video call on her mobile phone.
At this time, she had changed out of the red dress she had performed on stage before. She wore a light yellow turtleneck sweater on her upper body, tight jeans on her lower body, and a pair of black boots. Her long wavy hair fell down her shoulders. She was dressed very casually.
When she saw Gu Wei come in, she had an expression of surprise on her face, and then waved her hand towards the phone screen: "Mom and Dad, please go to bed early. I won't talk to you anymore."
Gu Wei walked up and asked, "Are you chatting with your uncle and aunt?"
"Yes, my parents are also watching the Spring Festival Gala. They said that my show is very good, the singing is nice, and the dress is festive!" Reba stood up and walked over to Gu Wei and hugged his arm.
"It's a pity that I can't hear you singing. I didn't see your show just now because of the video at home.
But I could hear applause coming from the hall in front, which lasted for a while.
None of the previous programs had this kind of treatment”
Gu Wei smiled and touched her head: "After tonight [Wishful] will be available on all major music platforms, you can listen to it at any time.
Okay, pack up and let's go.
Are you hungry? ”
“It’s okay~”
After Reba finished speaking, her stomach growled in an embarrassing way, and her expression was a little embarrassed.
"For what I ate in the afternoon, I was very nervous before performing on stage and didn't feel hungry, but I felt a little hungry after coming off stage."
"I have already prepared the New Year's Eve dinner. We can have hot meals when we go home."
"Hmm~"
After changing out of his performance clothes, Gu Wei took Reba out of the CCTV backstage and got into his nanny car.
The two of them went all the way back to the house in [Fanyue 108].
This four-bedroom flat with an area of more than 300 square meters was bought by Gu Wei for Reba a few years ago.
The address is located in the East Third Ring Road, Chaoyang District, which is the core area of Guomao CBD and has very convenient transportation.
When the market opened that year, it was 100,000 per flat, and now it has risen to 150,000.
"Happy New Year~"
In the restaurant, Gu Wei and Reba were in front of a table of sumptuous food. Various dishes were appetizing, as well as steaming dumplings that had just been cooked.
The two opened a bottle of red wine, which was the best quality batch from Unocal Manor. After Gu Wei bought the winery, he gave Reba a few boxes. She rarely drank it and there was still a lot left at home.
"Are you leaving early tomorrow morning?"
Gu Wei and Reba were chatting while eating. After a while, a glass of wine was finished, and a red glow slowly appeared on Reba's fair face.
"The flight is after 10 o'clock, and I will go back to the set to continue filming.
What about you, what are your plans after the New Year? ”
"I can rest in Beijing for two days, and then there will be several brand activities.
"Long Song Xing" will be broadcast in March, and it is inevitable to promote it with other creators"
"Then I wish our Reba [Long Song Xing] a great success!" Gu Wei smiled and picked up the wine glass.
"Thank you~"
Reba happily touched him and took a sip.
"By the way, have you received the script for [The Wandering Earth 2]?" Gu Wei put down his wine glass and thought of something.
"Yes, I got it. I play "Hao Xiaoxi", a staff member of the coalition government. I feel like he is a very serious and unsmiling character."
While talking, Reba suddenly thought of something and laughed.
"I read in the script that "Hao Xiaoxi" is the mother of "Li Yiyi" in the first film. In this case, I am a generation older than you.
I don’t know if our characters will have a chance to meet in the third part. Then you will have to call me Aunt Hao”
Gu Wei looked at her speechlessly: "You are trying to take advantage of me here.
However, the second part hasn’t been filmed yet and I think the third part is a bit far away. I haven’t seen the script for the third part yet. ”
"When will [The Wandering Earth 2] be launched?" Reba asked again.
"Didn't the crew tell you?"
"No, when I received the script I was told that filming would start in the second half of the year, but the specific time was not stated"
Gu Wei nodded: "It is now scheduled to start in October, and I will inform you soon.
Is there any problem with the schedule?
Your scenes aren’t too many, so the filming shouldn’t take too long.”
"No problem, definitely no problem.
Being able to participate in "The Wandering Earth 2" is such an honor and other things must take a back seat.
This is the first time I have participated in such an important film project after being in the industry for so many years~”
Although Reba is currently one of the hottest female celebrities born in the 1990s, like her boss Da Mi Mi, she has no film resources despite her popularity.
Because of Gu Wei, Yang Mi finally made the movie "Xiu Chun Knife 2" which has a good reputation, and now there is another movie "Assassination Novelist" which will be released soon.
Reba has been unable to receive film projects since "Jieyou Grocery Store" was sold out a few years ago.
So she attached great importance to this opportunity given by Gu Wei.
Although she is only a supporting actress in the play, you must know that this is the supporting actress in "The Wandering Earth". If the casting can be open, half of the young female stars in the entertainment industry will come to audition.
"Next month I will join the cast to film a costume fantasy drama, which will be completed in July, and then everything will be fine.
Because the launch date of [The Wandering Earth 2] was not confirmed at first, my schedule for the second half of the year has been vacant, and the company did not dare to accept the film for me.
Now it looks like I have three months to prepare for the role, so I will definitely perform well in the filming! ”
In fact, Reba has a high degree of recognition of her identity as an actress. She has filmed every film she has taken seriously since she entered the industry.
Just because of problems with the script, image, and acting skills, the effects are different.
You must know that the first drama she filmed in a real sense was CCTV's "Anarhan", which was her debut in a drama.
Later, I took the traffic star route entirely because of my contract with [Jiaxing Media].
Gu Wei nodded: "You have the most interaction with the Chinese representative "Zhou Zhezhi". This role is played by teacher Li Xuejian.
If you have any questions then, please ask Mr. Li for advice. I don’t need to tell you about his level. He is undoubtedly one of the best actors in China."
Reba's little head nodded frequently: "Yeah, I know, I will humbly learn from Teacher Li.
[The Wandering Earth 2] won’t be filled with senior celebrities like Mr. Li, right? You’re making me a little nervous now.”
Gu Wei laughed and said: "[The Wandering Earth 2] stars Wu Jing and Liu Dehua, and your character has almost no scenes with them.
There is no need to bear any burden. I will explain to Guo Fan later and ask him to take more care of you while filming."
"Hmm~" Reba smiled happily after hearing Gu Wei's words.
Compared to the care she would receive in future movie shootings, she was happier with Gu Wei's care for her.
The two of them had almost eaten, and fireworks started to set off somewhere outside the window.
Gu Wei held Reba's soft and slender waist and stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window. The brightly lit night in the capital and the fireworks blooming in the sky formed an extremely beautiful picture.
Reba looked out the window for a while and then turned to look at Gu Wei beside her. Her eyes were full of love and fascination when she looked at his extremely handsome profile.
She recalled the days when the two of them filmed "You Are My Glory" together. Even now, Reba still misses it very much and feels that it was the happiest time of her years.
Gu Wei, who was looking out the window, also noticed Reba's fiery eyes and turned to look at her.
"Are you a little drunk?"
Reba's face was crimson and her eyes were blurry. Gu Wei thought that she was too drunk and the two glasses of red wine she drank might have been a little too much.
"Uh~ A bit." After hearing Gu Wei's words, Reba also calmed down and said softly.
Gu Wei turned around, and the two of them changed from side by side to facing each other.
He looked at Reba's pretty face that was glowing with red clouds, and couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her.
Along with the kiss, Reba's clothes quickly came off one by one.
Gu Wei held her perky butterfly buttocks with both hands, and Reba's pair of round and slender legs also clamped around his waist.
After a long, wet kiss, the two fell on the sofa in a male-on-female position. Reba looked at Gu Wei with her beautiful eyes, breathing heavily.
"I just made a New Year's wish."
"What wish?"
"I hope that every New Year in the future can be spent with you like I am now."
Gu Wei smiled and said: "You are not Aladdin, but I think I can be your genie.
I will help you realize your wish.”
The next morning, when Gu Wei left, Reba was still sleeping soundly in bed.
It was a bit too much work last night.
Gu Wei acted as usual, but Reba was extremely enthusiastic and didn't stop until she was exhausted and fell asleep.
You can sleep better after destressing, but it also takes longer to recover.
After leaving [Fanyue 108] and getting into the company's black Rolls-Royce, Gu Wei arrived at the Beijing International Airport not long after.
After meeting Wu Jing, the two got on the private plane together.
"I watched your performance yesterday. The songs were good and the singing was even better. No wonder some netizens said you sing one song a year and the first one is the best!"
After meeting, the two talked about yesterday's Spring Festival Gala, and Wu Jing praised it.
"Haha, Brother Jing, I also watched your martial arts performance. It's very handsome!"
The plane was flying smoothly in the high sky. Gu and Wei sat opposite each other. There were various fruits and a pot of freshly brewed tea on the table in front of them.
The slim stewardess stood aside and poured tea for the two of them, nodded with a smile and then left.
"It's good to have money. Your private jet is much more comfortable than the first class cabin of the airline!"
Wu Jing watched the flight attendant walk away, took a sip from the tea cup in front of him, and sighed.
"Brother Jing, you can buy one if you like it. Traveling is convenient, fast and not tiring," Gu Wei said with a smile.
"I can't afford it. This is something only the top rich can play with."
Having said that, Wu Jing couldn't help but ask.
"How much does your plane cost?"
"The Gulfstream G550 cost more than 300 million when I bought it.
In addition, crew wages, insurance, maintenance, parking, flight planning, airport services, fuel consumption and other expenses need to be paid every year, which is about 30 million yuan."
"Hiss!" Wu Jing took a breath of cold air.
I remember when he was filming "Wolf Warriors 1", he had to sell his house to raise money due to a shortfall of tens of millions.
Now think about it, his entire net worth was not enough to cover the expenses of maintaining a private jet for two years.
Of course, due to the huge sales of the "Wolf Warrior" series, Wu Jing is already a billionaire, but even for him now, this kind of private jet worth hundreds of millions is too expensive.
"If I had so much money, I would rather buy a house and make a movie than buy this.
Not counting the money to buy the plane, the annual expenses are as high as 30 million, which means that a luxury house of more than 200 square meters in the inner ring of Beijing is burned every year, just to make it more convenient and comfortable when traveling. ”
Wu Jing shook his head as he spoke.
“What a luxury!”
Gu Wei looked at him with a smile and said nothing.
This is a question of consumption concepts, and there is nothing to argue with.
Wu Jing came from a martial arts background, and his family conditions were average. He did not become famous in his early years, and his net worth was not very rich in middle age. He only really made money in the years after "Wolf Warrior".
He himself has a traditional character, and his consumption outlook remains the same as that of more than ten years ago.
Even if you have money now, the most you can do is buy a house to make yourself and your family live more comfortably.
As a top star in domestic entertainment, he has a small personal team and does not even have bodyguards when traveling.
Compared with him, Gu Wei was at two extremes, one was extravagant and the other was simple.
"By the way, China Film Group should also be looking for you. Are you still participating in this year's gift film?"
The two chatted for a while, and Wu Jing suddenly said.
"You are talking about [my parents and I], Mr. La approached me but I declined.
I have already directed the second part of this series [My Hometown and Me], and I don’t want to be involved in the third part.
Moreover, this year’s schedule is quite full, so I can’t find time to shoot.”
Wu Jingjing nodded: "Speaking of which, I made three films one after another. I was an actor in the first two films, and both an actor and a director in the third film."
Gu Wei smiled and said: "Because Brother Jing, you are very popular now, and everyone believes in you and thinks this type of movie is suitable for you."
“I hesitated at first, but I liked the script given by China Film Group very much.
It tells a story about the cavalry during the Anti-Japanese War. I gave it the name "Chengfeng". ”
"It seems that this year, Brother Jing, you are not as relaxed as me.
[Changjin Lake] will be followed by [My Fathers and Me], and in the second half of the year we will have to join the team to shoot [The Wandering Earth 2].”
Wu Jing smiled bitterly: "I spent half a year recovering from a leg injury last year and took a good rest. Now I see that all my work has been saved until this year.
Some are busy”
After New Year’s Eve, the Spring Festival of 2021 also kicks off.
After years of development, the mainland film market has become extremely large. Currently, China has completely surpassed the United States to become the largest single film market in the world.
After so many years of cultivation, the Spring Festival has become the hottest time of the year in China.
Everyone is used to having exciting domestic blockbusters released during the Spring Festival, and taking the whole family to a movie during the seven-day holiday as a family activity during the Spring Festival.
February 12th, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The Wanda Plaza in the FT District of Beijing was crowded with people, and the Wanda Cinema lobby on the top floor was even more crowded.
"Wow, why are there so many people today!" Su Miaomiao, who went out to watch a movie with her good-haired girl and best friend, was stunned when she saw the situation in the cinema lobby.
"It's normal. Everyone has a holiday during the Chinese New Year. If you don't have anything to do, just go out and watch a movie.
When I bought the ticket, I knew that the seats for our show [Tang Detective 3] were almost sold out, so there weren’t too many people~”
Said her best friend Wang Yingnan, who was wearing a white down jacket next to her.
"You go to the machine to get your tickets, and I'll wait in line to buy some drinks and popcorn." Su Miaomiao suggested.
Wang Yingnan looked around.
“No, it’s too troublesome to queue up here.
After I get the tickets, let’s go to the supermarket over there to buy some water and snacks. It’s cheap and has a lot of choices.”
Su Miaomiao nodded.
"Okay."
