Chapter 175 The first male star to be singled out in the top five magazines
Although he did not join the group for filming, Gu Wei's work in the capital was not idle at all.
Some matters in the company require him to make decisions. As a star, he has to do some necessary work.
For example, business performance.
After finally waiting for Gu Wei to take a break from filming, his manager Yang Liwen had been applying to Gu Wei for a long time to see if he could participate in some commercial performances.
With Gu Wei's current reputation, if he were an ordinary star, he would definitely be a commercial actor.
After all, money is plentiful and time is short. In Yang Liwen’s opinion, it is no different from picking up money.
Although Gu Wei's reputation has been rising in the past six months, he has not taken on commercial roles due to filming.
She proposed it to Gu Wei several times when she had time, but Gu Wei refused.
Just like after filming [Nirvana in Fire], Gu Wei was busy for a few days to deal with the company's affairs, and then went directly to go on vacation.
If this was an ordinary popular star, he would not be squeezed to death by the company.
But there is no way, who makes Gu Wei the boss? He has the final say and can do whatever he wants.
So Gu Wei's business performance market is very big now. The more he refuses to accept it, the more these business owners will flock to him.
The price quoted to him also kept rising.
Sitting in the office, Gu Wei listened to Yang Liwen's earnest persuasion. He couldn't be angry. They were doing it for his own good.
Gu Wei's current external quotation for attending a commercial performance is 2 million, and the time is about 1 to 2 hours. After screening the remaining merchants, they basically meet Gu Wei's requirements.
It's either a large shopping mall like Wanda or some high-end brand store launching new products. Ask him to stand on the stage and use his fame to attract customers to the scene.
Gu Wei looked through the schedule made by Yang Liwen and was quite satisfied. He visited 10 reliable merchants within a week, all within the capital, and easily earned 20 million.
According to the itinerary on the schedule, some required ribbon cutting, and some required him to sing two songs. In short, they were all relatively relaxed activities.
Although Gu Wei has always been pushy about dispensable work, he never works hard when he can rest.
But after receiving 20 million in such a short period of time, he could only say, it smells great!
You must know that the first movie "Embroidered Spring Knife" invested by Gu Wei took a year of busy work from filming to screening, and it only brought him more than 30 million yuan in income.
His house in Beijing is only 20 million.
Looking at it this way, it is necessary for him to have time to run commercial performances.
Of course, Gu Wei’s current price and commercial performance opportunities are also due to long-term market accumulation.
If you are like those celebrities who often perform in commercials, the prices will drop sooner or later, and when the Beijing area is saturated, you will have to go all over the country if you want to pick them up.
So for the next week, Gu Wei's main job was to go to business shows from house to house according to the schedule.
After Gu Wei, who does not go out often, has a clear understanding of his current popularity.
Everywhere I go, as long as I show up, there will be a sea of people.
For example, when he attended the opening ceremony of a shopping mall, he stood on the big stage in the middle of the first floor of the shopping mall, surrounded by dense crowds of people, and the second and third floors were also crowded with people.
As soon as Gu Wei appeared, the scene would be filled with cheers like mountains and tsunamis.
Many of his young fans cried with excitement because they saw him in person.
Gu Wei finished an activity at noon that day and got into his nanny car under the protection of security personnel.
"Mr. Gu, we have made an appointment with [Harper's Bazaar] to take a cover photo this afternoon."
Yang Liwen, who was sitting opposite Gu Wei, turned over the schedule in her hand and said, then She added excitedly.
"This photo will be used as the solo cover of the October issue, and you will also become the first male star of [Harper's BAZAAR] to have a solo cover."
"It seems that Su Mang is very optimistic about me. ”
“Boss, your popularity has reached a certain level, and you are deeply loved by young people.
Not only [Harper’s Bazaar], [ELLE] also asked you to take cover photos. , the time will be the day after tomorrow.
If there is no accident, you will be the first mainland male star to be featured in [ELLE World Fashion Garden].”
With the development of the times, the era of print media is gradually declining, but whether a star can appear in fashion magazines is still an important basis for judging the star's influence.
Fans usually judge who is more popular based on how many magazine covers a star can appear on.
There are five domestic women's fashion magazines, namely [VOGUE Clothing and Beauty], [ELLE World Clothing Garden], [Harper's BAZAAR], [Fashion COSMOPOLITAN], [MarieClaire] people】.
There are only two first-line men’s fashion magazines. They are usually called the top five men’s magazines together with the three quasi-first-line magazines. Two of the first-line magazines are [GQ] and [Esquire], and three Quasi-first-line magazines are [Bazaar Men], [Fashion Men's L'OFFICIELHOMMES], and [Ruishi ELLEMEN].
Gu Wei also appeared in [Harper's Bazaar] magazine last year, but at that time it was just the cover of the men's magazine [Harper's Bazaar Men], and there was also a photo with Guo Biting in the inside issue.
This year’s grade is different. The one who came to him directly was Harper’s BAZAAR, a women’s magazine.
Gu Wei doesn't think that being in these first-tier magazines means he is more popular, but at least in the fashion industry, some high-end endorsements still recognize these first-tier magazines.
And fans will be happy because of it. In the afternoon, Gu Wei and his group came to the photography studio of [Bazaar].
As expected, editor-in-chief Su Mang came out to greet Gu Wei.
"Gu Wei, we meet again. It seems that you have a close relationship with us [Harper's Bazaar]."
Su Mang said to Gu Wei with a smile on his face.
“Editor-in-chief Su is so polite, and I want to thank you for your consideration.”
“Haha~ It’s true that your popularity and fashion sense are rare in the industry, and you are very suitable for our magazine. style.
I hope you can attend the [Bazaar Star Charity Night] in a few days. ”
"I'll be there on time."
The two chatted for a while, and then Gu Wei went into the studio to take pictures.
This is Gu Wei’s solo cover, so he doesn’t need to cooperate with anyone.
Enter the dressing room and let the professional makeup artist perform simple modifications.
"Teacher Gu, your face shape is really perfect, and there are no flaws in your facial features. Few celebrities who come to take photos have your good looks.
Especially when it comes to skin, you are the celebrity with the best skin I have ever seen. "
In the dressing room, the makeup artist who was applying makeup on Gu Wei praised him while doing makeup on Gu Wei.
"Thank you~"
Gu Wei sat down He replied humbly.
After putting on makeup, he put on his clothes for shooting and came to the studio.
After saying hello to the photographer, Gu Wei stood in the main seat.
According to the photographer's requirements, a series of actions were taken, with different expressions on the faces.
"Very good, Teacher Gu~
You can put your hands down and look more serious."
The photographer guided him to change his expression and movements while taking pictures.
"Awesome, that look is so cool!"
For a photographer, taking photos of Gu Wei is obviously a very easy job.
No matter what kind of item is proposed, Gu Wei can do it perfectly in the shortest time.
It didn’t take long. After taking a set of photos, today’s shooting tasks were completed.
After changing clothes, Gu Wei also said goodbye to Su Mang and left [Harper's Bazaar].
Two days later, Gu Wei took another cover photo for [ELLE World Clothing Garden].
The shooting at his home was a little more complicated, requiring Gu Wei to change into several sets of costumes.
There are people in black suits and white shirts, there are people in leather jackets and jeans, and there are people in casual clothes.
Different clothes also represent different styles.
Of course these guards can be easily controlled.
After half a day of shooting, Gu Wei was fine, but the photographer had a look of reluctance.
After the shooting, the news that Gu Wei would be on the cover of their October issues was quickly posted on the official websites and Weibo platforms of [Harper's Bazaar] and [ELLE] magazines.
This incident caused quite a stir in the fashion circle and Gu Wei's fan base.
I don’t know if people think it’s just two magazines. Who still reads magazines now?
Only knowledgeable people, especially those in the fashion industry, know the importance of being one of the top five women’s magazines in China.
In particular, Gu Wei is their first mainland male star to be singled out. This not only sets a record, but also marks that Gu Wei is recognized by the fashion circle.
Gu Wei’s fan circle cheered.
[Gu Wei is so great, he has single covers from two major magazines and is the first domestic male star! 】
【This is a record-breaking thing. From now on, you must not go crazy in the fashion circle~】
【Brother has a very fashionable temperament and a sense of high-end, do you understand, these are normal, I can only say The editor-in-chief of the magazine is discerning! ! 】
[Come on, Gu Wei, I’ve bought two magazines for next month! 】
