Chapter 643 May 4th Youth Party
On April 30, Gu Wei’s flight landed in Beijing in the morning. After leaving the airport, the nanny car drove directly to the CCTV building.
This year’s May 4th Gala is directed 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. It is called [Building Dreams in a New Era].
CCTV, entrusted by the above, attaches great importance to this year's party, so it has invited many popular young stars to perform on stage.
The party was being recorded and there were some awards processes, so it was held a few days in advance.
"Gu Wei~"
Backstage at CCTV, Gu Wei saw many familiar faces as soon as he arrived.
Zhang Yishan came up to him immediately wearing a white suit.
"Brother Wei~" He was accompanied by Peng Yuchang.
Both of them are today's guests.
"When did you two arrive?"
"I just arrived, and I was chatting with Brother Yishan." Peng Yuchang was wearing a black suit with a white lining, which made him look very boyish.
“I was telling Peng Peng just now that he will definitely steal the show at this party and sing solo in the second half.” Zhang Yishan said with a smile.
"Really?
I didn't look at the program carefully. Peng Peng is fine. I heard you sing at a party before and felt that you have potential." Gu Wei also followed Zhang Yishan's words. A compliment.
"What? I'm at KTV level. I sang solo because there was a puppet show on the show. I happened to be the only one in our department who was famous, so I was asked to sing as the background music for the show."
< br>Peng Yuchang scratched his head and said honestly.
Everyone knows that his undergraduate degree was in the Puppetry Department.
"Your singing is the main show, and the puppet show is similar to backup dancing, so perform well." Zhang Yishan patted the little brother on the shoulder, and then looked at Gu Wei.
“Looking at how busy you are, you came here right after you got off the plane, right?”
"Yes, I have been filming in Yunnan. I came back last week because of company matters. I went back to the crew to shoot for a few days and then came back." I’m really looking forward to it.
I don’t know what the plot is like.” You go visit the animation company, but don’t leak the plot and characters to me." Gu Wei saw Zhang Yishan's high interest and said generously.
“The animation company is right downstairs of our company. I often go there when I’m not at the company, and I’m quite familiar with the director of Dumplings.” Peng Yuchang continued.
"That's great. I really want to take a look when I have time.
What is the main line of the story this time? Will it be similar to [Nezha]?"
"This is not good. Let me tell you specifically, but there are differences. There will be more fighting scenes in [Yang Jian], and it will feel a bit more passionate," Gu Wei said.
“I’m more interested when you say that.”
While the three of them were chatting, other celebrities backstage saw Gu Wei arriving and came over to say hello.
Other parties may have some seniors in the industry who are older and have higher status. All the guests at the May Fourth Youth Party are young artists. Gu Wei can be said to be the most important person here, and his show is undoubtedly the finale. .
"Brother Wei~
Just now I was talking to Sister Sichun about when I can come over."
Guan Xiaotong has long wavy hair and a pair of steps. She walked over with long legs, and beside her was Ma Sichun, who was wearing a white dress.
"Brother Wei~" Walking up to Gu Wei, Ma Chun 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 a little dissatisfied when Gu Wei ignored her.
“I know, with your long legs, no one can see you.
Why didn’t the little deer come? Logically speaking, he shouldn’t be invited to such a party?”
“Well, he has other work, so his time is a little tight.
Besides, there is still his former teammate at the party today, so he doesn’t think much about it." Guan Xiaotong explained.
CCTV plans to make this year’s May 4th Party bigger, and almost invites the new generation. Some of the most popular traffic stars in the show.
According to what Guan Xiaotong said, Lu Han was actually invited, but he didn’t come because of personal reasons.
It seems that this year’s May Fourth. The party will be very attractive to young people.
Gu Wei saw the program list. Zhang Yixing and Li Jiaheng each had a solo program, and Li Jiaheng was even ahead of him.
"Yang Yang is here today. We [Zuo Er] are only one Chen Duling away from us." Guan Xiaotong subconsciously ignored Ou Hao.
“Speaking of which, four years have passed in a flash, and it was still the summer of 2014 when we filmed [Left Ear] together.
Everyone seems to have grown up.
小Tong has grown from a little girl in middle school to a grown-up girl, and has found a boyfriend. Sichun has also become the Golden Horse Best Actress, and even Yang Yang is now famous and has become a top star.
Time is really coming. A magical thing”
After Guan Xiaotong finished speaking, Gu Wei thought of the scene where everyone filmed [Left Ear] together before, as if it was yesterday, and said with some emotion.
"Please, you're not much older than me, so don't speak so old-fashioned, okay?"
Guan Xiaotong curled his lips, while Ma Chun looked at Gu Wei quietly, Nor spoke.
"Do you have anything to do tonight? Let's have a meal together after the recording of the party is over. It's been a long time since we got together." Gu Wei looked at the two of them and invited.
"Okay, but is it just the three of us?" Guan Xiaotong agreed happily, and Ma Chun on the side also smiled and nodded.
"There are also Zhang Yishan and Peng Yuchang."
"Okay, that's settled!"
Not long after, celebrities who knew Gu Wei came over backstage one after another. After saying hello, Yang Yang and Zhang Yixing also came over to say hello to Gu Wei.
Some celebrities who were not familiar with Gu Wei, such as Hu Xianxu who debuted as a child star, Yin Zheng of Tide Sea Ling, Jiang Mengjie who played Lin Daiyu and other young artists who were not well-known, all came over to say hello to Gu Wei. Say hello.
It's a bit like when Gu Wei first attended the Spring Festival Gala, Cheng Long or Liu Dehua were backstage, and many actors went to say hello and brush their faces.
"Huh~ Hu Xianxu, this kid is really capable. As expected of a Jinmen native, he is also a good cross talker if not an actor." Gu Wei also let out a long sigh of relief after sending Hu Xianxu, who was the last to arrive, out of his lounge.
Big bosses are not so easy to be like. For celebrities who come to greet him, even if they don't know them, they have to be gentle and sit down and chat with them.
People acted like this out of respect for him, and Gu Wei didn't want to be rude, let alone give the impression of being a cold and famous person.
Others were okay, they basically said a few words and then left. Hu Xianxu sat down and wondered where so many topics came from.
He has never collaborated with Gu Wei, but he has collaborated with Zhang Zifeng and Zhao Jinmai. They are very familiar with Gu Wei, and they can chat for a long time through this relationship.
"Haha, I admire you as a young actor, how polite you are."
After Hu Xianxu left, Zhang Yishan and Peng Yuchang were still in the lounge, and they already regarded this as their own lounge. "Don't you realize that Hu Xianxu looks a lot like you?"
"How are you similar to me? We both started out as child stars?"
"He talks in secret like you. , and we have been talking secretly since childhood.”
After Gu Wei finished speaking, Peng Yuchang was having fun on the side.
"My next film will be a movie with Zhou Dongyu. You filmed a TV series with her last year. What do you think of her? Is she easy to get along with?" After Gu Wei finished speaking, he asked Zhang Yishan road.
“It’s strange, you and she are classmates in college. Do you still need to ask me this kind of question?”
“We had little communication when we were in school. She was famous at that time. I usually have very little time to go to class.
After I started filming in my sophomore year, my time to go back to school was also limited. Except for the final exam, we usually couldn’t see each other and we couldn’t talk at all. Why should we be friends?" Gu Wei shrugged.
Zhang Yishan lowered his head and thought after listening to Gu Wei's words.
"Zhou Dongyu, I think, has good acting skills. After all, the Golden Horse Award winner who made her debut as a girl is still very focused and dedicated when filming."
"But what?" Gu Wei I knew there would definitely be a turning point after Zhang Yishan said this.
“Hehe. But I don’t know if she is straight-tempered or simply willful. Sometimes she will do some things that make people speechless.
To treat those around her People are quite impatient, and they often follow their own temperament
Especially towards some actors and crew members whose status is inferior to hers, she has a bad attitude and often bosses them around.
To be honest, when filming [The Spring Breeze Ten Miles Is Not as Good as You], many people on the crew did not have a good impression of her, but the director and producer liked her quite a lot."
"Flattery The superiors bully the inferiors." Gu Wei thought thoughtfully.
When he was in school, he only thought Zhou Dongyu was aloof. At that time, he was just an unknown person, and he was already a big star, so he didn't think much of it.< br>
When they met again when he became famous, Zhou Dongyu was already very enthusiastic about him
But after all, they had never worked together before. He had little interest in the little yellow duck, so he didn't have any specific feelings.
"Then what if I ask you to work with her in another movie?" 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 the remuneration.
If it’s a good film, we can’t miss it, right? Besides, who If you have trouble with money, just endure it for the sake of work." Zhang Yishan said with a playful smile, but what he said was the truth.
When chatting with Gu Wei, he has nothing to hide, he just says whatever he thinks.
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 followed As soon as Gu Wei leaves, the recording of the May 4th Youth Gala will begin.
The hosts of today's party are CCTV's Ren Luyu, Li Sisi, Nigmaiti and others. The first program at the opening is "I Have a Date with 2035" sung by Hu Xianxu and two other little stars.
The three of them sang, and at the same time, a team of college students from Harbin Institute of Technology, Beihang University, and Beijing Sports University performed performances on robots, unmanned vehicles, and holographic screens.
The format of today's party is basically that young stars will sing, and at the same time, student teams from different universities across the country will bring their own performances. After all, it is a youth party, which should highlight the power of youth, and college students are the best representatives of young people.
There were more than 20 programs in the entire party. Zhang Yishan and Zhou Dongyu made their 8th appearance, singing the theme song "If I Love You" from "The Spring Breeze Is Not as Good as You".
Lay Yixing made his 10th appearance, singing the song "Red Flag Fluttering" with the cooperation of four Youth Olympic champions Wu Dajing, Sun Yujie, Wu Jingyu and Xiang Yanmei.
Ma Chun is also a soloist, her 15th appearance, performing the song "Once Upon a Time".
In addition to various performances, the May Fourth Party also had an awards ceremony. Gu Wei, Zhang Yishan, Ma Chun and others came on stage midway to receive the title of "Flowers in May" as an outstanding young actor.
Li Jiaheng's program was the third to last one. He sang a solo song "The Distance 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 backstage before. He had no control over what happened to others. Anyway, after Gu Wei arrived, he stayed in his dressing room and refused to come out, mainly ignoring them.
However, when he came off the field and saw Gu Wei coming on, the two walked across from each other. Li Jiaheng still grinned at Gu Wei as a greeting.
Originally, there was no grudge between the two of them. There was some competition at first. Judging from the current situation, the competition no longer exists, so they have to live up to their reputation.
Gu Wei, who was waiting at the scene, was surprised to see Li Jiaheng smiling at him, but he nodded out of politeness.
For today's party, Gu Wei originally prepared two songs, one is "May 4th Special Edition Dislocated Time and Space" and the other is "Youth".
At first he planned to sing "Youth", because in terms of lyrics and melody, "Youth" was more in line with the theme of the party and had absolutely positive energy.
After much hesitation, I decided to sing [May Fourth Special Edition Dislocated Time and Space].
After all, it was a Youth Day party, so he was a little bit behind singing "Youth", and "May 4th Special Edition Dislocation of Time and Space" was deeper in artistic conception and more touching.
Gu Wei's program soon ended, and the last program was a chorus "The Beginning of Happiness" performed by college students from many schools.
In the control room of the studio hall, Zou Wei, the general director of the May 4th Youth Gala, watched the performances of various stars under the camera and felt very satisfied.
Especially for Gu Wei's finale appearance, he is confident that when it is broadcast on the evening of May 4th, this year's May 4th Youth Gala will definitely achieve better results than previous years.
After the party, Gu Wei invited a few close friends to have a gathering, and got on the flight back to Yunnan early the next morning.
"Boss, there is news from [Zhen Le Dao] that the post-production of [Cohabitation in Time and Space] has been completed. It is currently scheduled that the movie will be released on June 15th, before the summer holiday." Returning. On the way, manager Yang Dan told Gu Wei.
"So fast!" Gu Wei was a little surprised. After all, "Cohabitation in Time and Space" was only completed in March, and now it is May. It is already very fast for a movie to complete post-production in just two months.
In the past, films starring Gu Wei took at least a year from filming to release, but now it's only half a year. Xu Zheng's efficiency is really high.
The movie "The Wandering Earth" that Gu Wei shot last year has not yet finished post-production, and has already found several special effects companies to work together.
A few days ago, he had a phone call with Guo Fan, who told him that the film would not be released until the second half of the year at the earliest.
However, these two movies cannot be compared. "The Wandering Earth" is a science fiction film, which requires a lot of time and money to do special effects in the later stage. "Cohabitation in Time and Space" is just an urban romance film dressed in fantasy, and it needs to be edited later. It's relatively easy.
"What Director Xu means is that by the middle of this month at the latest, the crew and creators will start running some promotional activities."
"Where is Liu Yifei, have you contacted me?"
"The crew has already We have contacted each other and [Mulan] will be officially launched in August in the second half of the year. Ms. Liu has been in early training and will be able to find time to come back before the movie is released."
Gu Wei nodded and took it. He took out his mobile phone and took a look.
“[Zhen Le Dao] chose the three-day Dragon Boat Festival schedule there. At the same time, there was only one Hollywood blockbuster [Jurassic World 2] released, which is very different from our movie type
The release date of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is July 5th. There is a 20-day difference between the two, so it won't have any impact.
And waiting for [Cohabitation in Time and Space] to be a big hit, I just took advantage of the popularity to promote [The God of Medicine], so I won’t waste any time.”
At that time, in order to let [I Am Not the God of Medicine] be released, more Due to its popularity, Gu Wei made a guest appearance as the male protagonist's brother-in-law in order to use his fame to increase the popularity of the movie
