Chapter 499 Thinking of Beautiful Things
After about two hours of flight, the plane landed at Tokyo Haneda International Airport.
On this trip to Japan, Gu Wei was invited by VOGUE, the world's number one fashion magazine, to shoot for the March quarterly issue.
Although it is not an annual magazine, or an important monthly magazine for the Golden, Nine and Silver Tens, Gu Wei happens to have time now, and during the promotion of "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", VOGUE invited him to shoot this season's international edition The cover and the corresponding fashion blockbuster, Gu Wei simply agreed.
[Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossom] was launched later in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia than in China. Now it has concluded in China and is still being broadcast in other places, but the results are very good.
In Malaysia, "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" has become the Chinese program with the highest click and download rate since the establishment of Astro, the largest local media platform.
On Japan's BS TV station and South Korea's SBS TV station, "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" has become one of the top-rated programs in the same time period.
On the top list of Asian theaters on Dramafever, a famous website owned by Warner Bros., the late-released "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" came from behind, beating the popular Korean drama "Lonely and Brilliant" that was launched in December last year. Gods-Ghosts] has become the top 1 Asian theater on this website.
[Three Lives Three Worlds] can achieve such good results outside the mainland, which is inseparable from the excellent quality of the TV series itself.
At the same time, it is also because of the several dramas starring Gu Wei in recent years, all of which have become popular in the Southeast Asian market, from "Gu Jian Qi Tan", "Shan Shan Is Coming" to "Nirvana in Fire", "A Little Smile" Very charming], without exception.
Ancient costume, modern, Machiavellian, idol, all types are covered.
With the previous reputation accumulation, audiences in Southeast Asian countries are also deeply impressed by Gu Wei, a young Chinese actor. When "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" is released again, it will naturally be easy to achieve good results.
Of course, the quality of this drama did not disappoint the audience, and Gu Wei's reputation remains as strong as ever.
Exiting the VIP channel of the airport and meeting the staff at the pick-up area, Gu Wei took the accompanying people into the car and drove to the hotel arranged by VOGUE more than half an hour later.
After simply settling in, Gu Wei went to the shooting studio not far away.
I met and chatted with the person in charge of the Tokyo branch of VOGUE. Gu Wei already knew the specific photo and fashion shoot shooting process in advance, so he put on makeup and changed his style before entering the shooting location.
The photographer who took the photo was a neon man in his 40s, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a light brown flying saucer hat. He looked like a middle-aged artist.
"Hello Gu Sang, I am today's photographer Kato Shuichi."
The photographer was very polite to Gu Wei. As soon as the other person came in, he quickly put down his equipment and talked to Gu Wei Shake hands as a sign of goodwill.
As a professional in the fashion industry, he is very aware of the popularity and influence of the Chinese star in front of him in the global entertainment and fashion circles.
To put it bluntly, if we were to select the most influential Asian superstars of the younger generation internationally, no matter which country selected, Gu Wei would definitely be in the top five or even the top three.
As for why he is not number one, Gu Wei is definitely number one in domestic rankings, but media rankings from other countries will always favor celebrities from their own countries.
Gu Wei's current popularity in Japan and South Korea can be compared to the popularity of "My Love from the Star" in those years and Kim Soo Hyun's popularity in China.
And unlike Kim Soo-hyun, Gu Wei has not only become popular in one drama, but has become popular in 4 dramas in a row in the past 3 or 4 years. With the current "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", he has become a hit. It's the fifth one.
“Hello, Mr. Kato, I’ll leave it to you for today’s shooting.”
Gu Wei responded politely, stretched out his hand to shake the photographer's hand, and involuntarily glanced at the other person's fingers, which were slender and clean.
'These people with the surname Kato all have some talent in their hands.'
"Your Japanese is very standard, so good. If it weren't for face-to-face communication, I would hardly believe it. A foreigner is speaking Japanese”
Photographer Kato looked surprised.
Originally, VOGUE assigned Gu Wei a portable Japanese translator after landing, but with Gu Wei’s Japanese proficiency, he definitely wouldn’t be able to use it. He is a capable person.
"Japanese is very easy to learn, and I also have some talent in language."
This is due to another teacher Kato. Of course, the most important thing is to rely on the panel to upgrade his language skills.
“すごい(amazing)!”
After chatting for a few words and getting to know each other, the formal shooting started today.
Taking flat photos couldn’t be easier for Gu Wei. He has been on the covers of several major mainstream magazines in recent years, and has also collaborated with major well-known photographers, so the next stop for Gu Wei was You can then pose in a pose that best suits the theme of this issue according to the photographer’s requirements.
"It's great, it's amazing.
Gu Sang, you are like Apollo coming to the world. It's so perfect. It's simply a work of art."
Kato kept talking while taking photos. After praising her, Gu Wei went to change clothes again after finishing a group of photos.
In about 3 hours, all of Gu Wei's solo photos were taken, and today's work is over.
It was already night when we returned to the hotel. Gu Wei stood in the living room of the room and looked at the various neon lights flashing in Tokyo under the night outside, feeling a little hesitant about whether to go out for a walk.
It was his first time to come to Tokyo, and he was still a little curious about this city that is famous all over the world.
Especially in Tokyo at night, Kabukicho, Izakaya, Tokyo Tower, etc. are all famous.
The main reason is that he has no acquaintances. Although Gu Wei has no language barrier, it is not good to travel to Tokyo at night when he is new to a place he is not familiar with. Besides, his identity is also easy to be recognized.
Of course, he is much better in Tokyo than in China. After all, he is not a local star. As long as he pays a little attention, there will be no problem.
Just as he was thinking about turning around, he saw the assistant who came into the room to help him pack his clothes.
As long as Gu Wei is working, no matter where he goes, there will always be a huge personal team with him.
There are stylists, makeup artists, photographers, etc., not to mention security.
These people all work around Gu Wei, and the clothes he brings are all selected by the staff. There are dedicated stylists to arrange what to wear every day and how to match them. Some trivial matters in life are completely handled by A personal assistant handles things such as sorting, ironing clothes, packing various things for him, etc.
"Chaoyue, have you had dinner?"
Gu Wei's sudden question stunned the assistant.
"Not yet, boss"
"That's just right, come have dinner with me later."
Gu Wei said with a smile.
He doesn't plan to travel around Tokyo at night. He just wants to find a good place to have a meal and look at the night view of Tokyo. But there is no point in eating by himself, so he invites his assistant to go with him.
“Huh? Me?”
"Yes, let's go together!"
Yang Chaoyue was a little surprised. He looked at Gu Wei and then looked down at himself.
"Boss, please wait while I go back to change clothes."
"What are you changing clothes for?"
"Boss invites me to eat alone, I must dress up nicely."< br>
Gu Wei reached out and flicked her head.
"It's not interesting for me to eat alone. I want to find someone to eat with. How can you change your clothes? I won't have time to wait for you."
"Ah, I understand~"
Yang Chaoyue screamed while covering the place where Gu Wei had played, and muttered softly.
“You can only think of me when there are no beautiful women around you. You really treat me like a maid”
"What are you talking about?"
"Ah, no!
Boss, where are we going to eat?"
Yang Chaoyue changed his face in a second and asked with a smile.
Gu Wei touched his chin and thought for a while.
"Let's go to the hotel restaurant, so we don't have to go out~"
After that, Gu Wei called the hotel housekeeper and asked him to arrange a seat for himself with a good angle of the night view.
On the 45th floor of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel where Gu Wei currently lives, there is a French restaurant called Azure45.
The name of the restaurant Azure means blue, which represents the color of the Tokyo Bay skyline seen from the restaurant. It is located on the 45th floor, about 200m high, the same height as the Tokyo Tower Special Observation Deck, and the view is excellent. Gu Wei and his assistant entered Azure 45 and sat in the double seat by the window.
Tokyo is full of lights at night, and Tokyo Tower is flashing with bright lights, and the entire city comes into Gu Wei's field of vision.
While Gu Wei was eating the restaurant's signature delicacy, tenderly fried steak on the plate in front of him, he looked out the window at the night view from time to time.
Although I didn’t get to experience other features of Night Tokyo, it seemed pretty good.
Yang Chaoyue opposite Gu Wei was not as leisurely and elegant as Gu Wei. She cut the steak with the knife and fork in her hand, and ate it without any image. After taking a few bites, she picked up the juice drink next to her and took a sip. .
Gu Wei asked for a bottle of red wine to drink for himself and juice for Yang Chaoyue.
He withdrew his eyes from the beautiful scenery outside the window and looked at the assistant opposite.
"How old are you Chaoyue this year?"
"19 years old"
Although the assistant is dressed in ordinary clothes, youth is the best cosmetic, and she has a good foundation , with a small round face, big eyes, red lips and white teeth, and plump apple muscles, she looks youthful.
“I remember the last time I had dinner with you was during the Chinese New Year last year, right?”
Yang Chaoyue was still chewing food in his mouth and raised his head to think about it.
"Yes, boss, after you attended the Spring Festival Gala last year, I had the New Year's Eve dinner with you for more than a year."
Gu Wei nodded.
"Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye you have been my assistant for another year~"
"Hee hee, isn't it great to be an assistant? Follow the boss and be popular and drink spicy food , now I can go abroad to Tokyo and eat Michelin with you, the boss, how many people would envy me!”
Gu Wei laughed, she was quite content.
"Do you still remember the question I asked you when we had dinner last year?"
"What question?"
Gu Wei picked up the red wine next to him and took a sip.
“Are you willing to be an artist and become a star in the future?”
After he said this, Yang Chaoyue also suddenly realized that the boss did ask her this a year ago, but at that time she only thought that the boss was joking and teasing her.
Now that the old things were brought up again, she was a little hesitant.
"Boss, are you serious?"
If you can really become a star, then the current assistant job will not be so popular.
She has been with Gu Wei for almost two years, and she truly knows how great it is to be a star.
"Of course, who am I, your boss? Do I need to lie to you?
I see that you have a good background and conditions. You have been working by my side for such a long time and you are considered diligent. We are all one of our own.< br>
If you want, I won’t mind complimenting you if you have a chance in the future."
Gu Wei said nonchalantly.
"Little Koi" is very suitable to be a star. He is born with good foundation, small head and face, and exquisite and beautiful facial features. In the past, he would have been scouted by talent scouts.
In the original time and space women's team audition, she failed to sing and dance, and she was not the first place, but her final development was the best and most popular.
From this aspect, her appearance and personality really take advantage of her.
Another one, in February this year Long Danni resigned from her position as deputy general manager of Mango Media and president of Shanghai Tianyu Media Co., Ltd., taking her former subordinate, the former chief director of "Happy Girl" with her Ma Hao, prepare to go out and work alone.
Gu Wei immediately contacted her to express his willingness to join the partnership.
Long Danni has already agreed verbally. After all, Gu Wei is rich and powerful, can provide resources, and is the best partner. There is no reason to disagree.
[Wow Entertainment] is about to be established. If Yang Chaoyue wants to be a star, Gu Wei can directly throw her to Long Danni, who is best at creating draft stars.
Yang Chaoyue listened to Gu Wei's words, thought about it for two seconds, and then put on an extremely flattering smile.
"Boss, I want to be a star, when will you support me?"
Gu Wei glanced at her and said lightly.
“The time is not yet ripe yet, you still have to do your job well, but since you have an idea, I will give you this opportunity sooner or later”
"Oh"
Hearing that it was not possible now, the assistant's expression dropped again. He lowered his head and focused on the steak on his plate instead of talking.
Gu Wei didn't care about her either.
For Yang Chaoyue, it was a major event that affected his life, but for him, it was just a whim and insignificant.
After dinner, Gu Wei walked from the dining room to his room, with his assistant following him with his head lowered.
Go to the door of the room.
“Why don’t you go back?”
Gu Wei looked at the assistant strangely.
Yang Chaoyue raised his head slightly, looked at his boss's handsome face, and pulled out a smile.
“Boss, aren’t you alone today? I want to accompany you.”
Gu Wei was a little funny. He knew what the other party was thinking as soon as he heard it. He reached out and knocked Yang Chaoyue on the head.
"What are you thinking about? Don't think about good things at a young age. Go back and rest. You have to get up early to work tomorrow!"
As he said that, he turned around and entered the room, regardless of the assistant outside.
Yang Chaoyue looked at the closed door, and the courage he had just summoned dissipated.
After Gu Wei told her at the dinner table that he wanted to make her a star, she had been thinking about it.
Later, after dinner, Yang Chaoyue simply made up his mind and planned to climb into the boss's bed. Anyway, in her eyes, Gu Wei was just a lecherous scumbag.
As long as you take the initiative, the other party will definitely not refuse.
As Gu Wei's personal assistant, she has watched all of Gu Wei's dates with various female stars in the past year and a half. She only provoked the most beautiful woman in Wanwan two days ago. Guo Biting.
She thinks very simply. If the two of them have a relationship, the boss will definitely praise her, and it seems that she will not lose.
Who would have thought that after mustering up the courage to speak, the boss would casually refuse.
Yang Chaoyue looked down at his already sizable breasts and murmured:
"These are not small."
Then he touched his face.
"Even if I am so young, I have an advantage compared to other female stars."
She thought of what Gu Wei just said, and when she reacted, she frowned slightly and her face was filled with anger. .
"What's more, I just want beautiful things. I am such an invincible beautiful girl, and he is a scumbag and he is not happy?"
"Forget it, maybe I am thinking simply, the boss may just say , it’s better to be your life assistant honestly and let’s talk about the future later.”
After thinking about this, Yang Chaoyue stopped worrying and turned around and walked to his room.
Asking for votes!
