Chapter 570 I said it was not my fault, but they didn’t believe it
Gu Wei did not attend [ByteDance]’s financing celebration reception. Firstly, he really had nothing in common with these financial people, and secondly, that night He has another appointment.
This time I returned to Beijing to attend the celebration banquet of [Wolf Warrior 2]. Although the media was not invited to the event, with the current popularity of the movie, there would be relevant media reports on this kind of event the next day.
After learning that he had returned to Beijing, Liu Yifei took the initiative to send a message inviting him to her home for dinner, saying that Liu’s mother wanted him to come over.
Gu Wei happened to have time, so naturally he didn't mind going to have this meal.
"You're here." Within ten seconds of pressing the doorbell, the door opened from the inside, and Liu Yifei's figure appeared in the entrance hall.
Wearing a pink home suit, she looked comfortable and casual. She had no makeup on her face, but her skin was still fair and transparent, and her appearance was gorgeous.
Seeing Gu Wei arriving, Liu Yifei seemed very happy and quickly let him in.
"Sister Yifei, please excuse me for coming so late."
Gu Wei went into the house to change his shoes and handed over the two gift bags in his hand.
"What is it?" After Liu Yifei took it, she opened it curiously and had nothing to do with Gu Wei.
"A LV bag and scarf, for you and your aunt. I think the style is pretty good. I hope you like it."
"Yeah, you want it every time you come here. You don't need to be so polite when you bring something!" Liu Yifei had already opened two gift boxes as she spoke.
A beige silk scarf with printed patterns, and a small black handbag with LV logo.
“You can’t come over and eat and drink for free, that would be so embarrassing.
How do you like it? ”
“They are all very beautiful, which one is for me? "
"The scarf is for you. The LV logo on the bag is too obvious, so it's not appropriate for you to take it out."
"I thought about it carefully, but it doesn't matter, I There are no relevant endorsements for competing products now. Maybe you will ask me to be the spokesperson if you carry LV a few times."
"Haha~ I hope so. If Sister Yifei can also be the spokesperson, we can have more. Opportunity to work together”
Having said this, Liu Yifei put down the scarf she was looking at and looked at Gu Wei thoughtfully.
"Really? Don't you have a good cooperation with Scarlett, the current global spokesperson? The Internet says that you two have a close relationship."
Gu Wei touched his nose. .
“It’s all reported by foreign media, and LV has publicity needs. You also know that I have been involved in many scandals, and Scarlett is just more famous.”
"Oh? Really.
Then you are actually not familiar with each other? "
"No, I met her in 2015 when we went to New York to film "Tang Detective 2". It was also a coincidence that we were able to work together again this time.
Scarlett is a nice person, and we had a great time working together." Gu Wei thought of Scarlett's fiery figure and those days, and added in his mind.
'That's right. , it is indeed very pleasant, she and I are very happy.'
Of course Liu Yifei does not know the deep meaning of Gu Wei's words. She spends some time in the United States every year and knows some news from the Internet. It’s also relatively clear.
In fact, when the scandal between Gu Wei and Scarlett spread, she thought it was nonsense. It was because the two of them were in different fields, one was in domestic entertainment and the other was in Hollywood. They might not have seen each other before, so the scandal was most likely for publicity.
"I didn't expect you two to know each other at that time. You are so popular with women that you are welcomed by beautiful women wherever you go." Liu Yifei led Gu Wei through the door and put the two gift bags aside. On the cabinet.
“You 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 don’t have any of it. Modesty." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes, of course she knew the name of Commander Gu Weishi.
“Is Gu Wei here?”
The two were chatting, and Liu Xiaoli walked out of the kitchen wearing a light yellow apron.
"Hello, Auntie"
"Okay, you can chat with Yifei for a while, and the food here will be ready in a moment."
"Thank you for your hard work, Auntie"< br>
"You're welcome, it's just like at home." He said and turned back to the kitchen.
"I told her that she can just let the aunt who cooks do it, but she insists on cooking by herself"
"Auntie is also very thoughtful~"
Liu Yifei curled her lips.
“But she didn’t make it delicious herself”
Gu Wei and Liu Yifei were chatting in the living room. After a while, Liu Xiaoli’s dishes were ready, and the three of them sat down to eat.
"Auntie, you are good at cooking. It tastes better than what I cooked last time."
Gu Wei praised while eating the food.
"Flattery" Liu Yifei complained in her heart after hearing Gu Wei's words.
Liu Xiaoli smiled.
“Really, eat more if it’s delicious. Your parents are not in the capital, so you can come over whenever you have time.
I heard Sissi say that she went to your family charity foundation and your parents took good care of her. You don’t have to be polite to her aunt."
"I would be very willing, but I am usually too busy." "Again. I have to eat even if I am busy, so I will come here often when I have time."
"Okay, Auntie~"
"Gu Wei, your recent movie was so popular. , I went to the cinema with Changchang a few days ago to watch it." Liu Yifei couldn't stand the courtesy between her mother and Gu Wei, so she changed the subject.
"How do you feel? Is it worth the price?"
"Of course it is. The rhythm is very similar to some Hollywood action blockbusters. The story and plot design are also relatively good. The most important thing is the action and shooting scenes. "It's very good, it's an absolute masterpiece among domestic action films." Liu Yifei praised it first.
“However, although the movie is wonderful, I never expected that it would achieve such exaggerated box office results.
After today, [Wolf Warrior 2]’s box office should officially break through 5 billion.
5 billion yuan is still a box office result in a single market.
Many of Hollywood's best-selling movies only have this global box office result."
As she spoke, Liu Yifei looked at Gu Wei with her beautiful eyes.
"How did you do it? "
"I'm just an actor. [Wolf Warrior 2] is Wu Jing's film. You should ask him this question." Gu Wei took a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth. Although he praised Liu Xiaoli, The only dish on this table is the tomato scrambled eggs, which tastes pretty good.
“Although Wu Jing is the director, I always feel that you are the key to a box office hit.
After all, [Wolf Warrior 1] is only over 500 million, and Wu Jing has never starred in a movie with a box office of over 1 billion before.
The upper part of It’s Yours [Tang Detective 2] has reached 3.9 billion, and now this one has reached two levels at once”
Liu Yifei’s thoughts also represent many people in the industry. and the audience’s opinions.
Although Wu Jing is the soul of the "Wolf Warrior" series, the box office of the first film was relatively average, and his previous personal box office results were not satisfactory. How does he have any box office appeal? I'm afraid not many people agree.
Wu Jingzhi jumped from level 10 to level 100. He skyrocketed with the help of the movie "Wolf Warrior 2". He lacks process and background and will always be suspected. It will be a flash in the pan.
On the other hand, Gu Wei, from the beginning of his debut, "Xiu Chun Knife" had a box office of more than 200 million, and later "Left Ear" had a box office of 800 million, "Tang Detective 1" had a box office of 1 billion, "Monster Hunt" had a box office of 2.67 billion, and "Tang Detective" had a box office of 2.67 billion. 2] 3.9 billion box office.
Everyone has seen his growth and box office appeal, and no one will doubt Gu Wei's role in "Wolf Warrior 2".
Actually, neither Gu Wei nor Wu Jing cares too much about who plays a bigger role in the movie.
[Wolf Warrior] series is Wu Jing’s film, but Gu Wei has always been an investor. Their core purpose is to make the film good. Besides, who plays a greater role and who is more important With box office appeal, these are all trivial matters.
However, for 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 themselves and compete to win or lose.
For example, Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei in the earliest "Painted Skin", and later Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang in the "囧" series.
In [Painted Skin], Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei competed for the celebrity status as actors, while Xu Zheng completely replaced Wang Baoqiang in [囧Hong Kong].
Although part of the reason for this is that the remuneration has not been agreed upon, Bao Qiang wants to convert the remuneration into investment. Of course Xu Zheng will not agree because he loves money, but he also wants to prove that the "囧" series is his Xu Zheng Wang Baoqiang is not indispensable for the movie.
This kind of dispute occurs when making a movie, and in the end it is often a lose-lose outcome.
Without Bao Qiang, the reputation of [囧] has plummeted, and Wang Baoqiang himself has lost the opportunity to participate in the [囧] series of movies.
“You think too highly of me. The success of [Wolf Warrior 2] is due to the right people in the right place and the right time. The right movie was released at the right time, which aroused the patriotic sentiments of the audience. In fact, I It’s not that important.
Even without my participation, this film will have a box office of more than 5 billion.”
What Gu Wei said is true, but looking at the reactions of Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli, they Don't agree.
He was also very helpless. Everyone thought he was powerful. No one believed him when he told the truth. They just thought he was being modest.
"What have Sister Yifei been busy with recently?"
"I am relatively free. In the first half of the year, I filmed a fantasy movie called "Second Generation Fairy", and then I received an invitation from "Cohabitation in Time and Space".
The filming of this movie started really late, it actually didn’t start until the end of the year." Liu Yifei complained.
Gu Wei was a little embarrassed, this was actually his fault.
Originally, [Cohabitation in Time and Space] was planned to be launched in the second half of the year, but because Gu Wei had no schedule, it was pushed to the end of the year.
"Li Guangjie told me about this movie, a fantasy romantic comedy. This type is rare in domestic movies. It is a bit similar to "Monster Hunt"." Li Guangjie also appeared in "The Second Generation of Monsters", playing a villain boss. .
“Do you still know Mr. Li Guangjie?”
“I am working with him on the movie I am making, and we always chat together during breaks.
If I hadn’t If I remember correctly, this is your first time acting in a comedy, Sister Yifei, right?”
“Indeed, it’s the first time in so many years since your debut.” Liu Yifei nodded.
"How do you feel about being a funny girl?"
"I don't think there is any difference, but it feels good to be able to try different styles of performances."
