Chapter 723 The Golden Years
Since this summer's holiday, although the movie market has been a little deserted, there are many dramas with good results regardless of satellite TV or online broadcast platforms.
Youkubo's "Chang'an Twelve Hours", Tengxun Video's "Full-time Master", iQiyi's "Da Song Youth", each has its own advantages, some are stronger in word of mouth, and some are better The webcast data is good, and some have a high amount of discussion.
"Little Joy" broadcast on satellite TV, as the second part of "Little Farewell" controlled by Huang Lei, has also achieved very good results. Sha Yi contributed "Yingzi, I am Daddy" in it Famous scene.
Of course, currently, the most popular TV series in the summer season is definitely "Chen Qing Ling".
Although it is just a simple online drama, its performance has skyrocketed after one week of its launch. It has a "I just want to stay popular and no one can stop me" attitude.
[Chen Qing Ling] has been appearing in the hot search list in various ways on Weibo.
The frequency with which Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi have appeared on hot searches has become commonplace.
And with the popularity of the TV series, the number of fans of the two has increased rapidly, their popularity has skyrocketed, and they can be said to have truly become popular.
“Boss, Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi have become popular so fast. Recently, the company has received many calls from manufacturers, hoping to find them as spokespersons, and many film crews have offered them roles. ”
In the office, Yang Liwen and Gu Wei finished reporting their work and talked about the two new stars under their banner with joy on their faces.
“Haha, what did I say at the beginning, [Chen Qing Ling] is a very popular drama, sooner or later they will become popular.
But at this time, it is more important to be more stable. Live.
The endorsements can be pushed back. The popularity of the two will increase to a certain extent as the TV series is aired.
The scripts can be carefully screened first. Act in a few idol dramas to stabilize your popularity"
"Understood."
After working at the company during the day, Gu Wei came out of the [Wei Tianxia] building early in the afternoon.
It’s not yet time to get off work, and the roads in the capital are not too congested.
At around 5 o'clock, a black Bentley drove into a high-end villa area.
Gu Wei got out of the car, walked to the door of a villa and rang the doorbell.
"Come in, it's hot outside." Not long after, the door opened and Ni Ni, wearing a light gray home suit, stood inside.
She has a slender figure, wears a light yellow apron in front, her hair is tied up, and there is no makeup on her fair face. She looks like a little cook at home.
"For you~" Gu Wei came in to change his shoes and handed over the gift box in his hand.
“What?”
“You will know when you open it and take a look”
Ni Ni curiously opened the box packed by Bulgari. Inside was a white gold ruby necklace with a beautiful chain body and sparkling rubies.
“Wow, so beautiful!”
“Bvlgari’s new model this year, put it on and see if it fits?”
Ni Ni got a look on her face when she took it in her hand Happy: "Thank you~"
"As long as you like it"
The items are not too expensive, with a market price of only a few hundred thousand. Gu Wei has a lot of this kind of jewelry in his private collection, and many new items are added every year.
Female friends who have a good relationship with him will receive similar gifts every year and festival, and they will never be the same again.
After returning to China from Tokyo, Gu Wei has been staying at the Beijing company for almost a month because of the post-production work on "Tang Detective 3".
Ni Ni sent him a message today, saying that he was going back to his home in Beijing to rest after work and wanted to have him over for dinner.
Gu Wei agreed without thinking and picked out a gift to take with him before coming.
"Ah! I was still cooking in the kitchen, I almost forgot about it!" Ni Ni took the gem necklace in her hand and admired it happily, then suddenly thought of something and slapped her forehead.
"You sit down first, and we can start eating after I finish." She said hurriedly, without thinking much, put aside the gift from Gu Wei, turned around and trotted towards the kitchen. Run.
Gu Wei smiled and shook his head, strolling to the living room.
Sit down on the light blue fabric sofa, pick up the white folded cat lying next to you, and start to pet the cat very naturally.
“Little boy, do you still remember me?”
"Take a look~" The little white cat raised his head slightly, his eyes a little confused, and without any resistance, he lay on Gu Wei's lap and enjoyed it.
After a while, Ni Ni finished cooking and the two of them sat at the table in the restaurant.
“It’s so rich!” Gu Wei praised after sitting down and looking at the food on the table.
Ni Ni is one of the few female celebrities he knows who cooks well.
Although she doesn’t do it often, she prefers to cook by herself. She likes to research when she has nothing to do, and she will show off her success in her WeChat Moments.
In terms of personality, he is cheerful and generous, rarely clingy, and very measured in what he says and does.
Actually, he is a very suitable person to be a girlfriend.
"Hehe, I specially prepared the fish you like to eat. Try it. Does it taste good?"
Ni Ni sat opposite Gu Wei and looked at him with a smile on his face. , I recommend the braised fish in the middle.
Gu Wei picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.
"The meat is fresh and tender, and the saltiness is moderate.
Mr. Meow, you can be a chef without being an actor.
When the time comes, the restaurant you open must have three Michelin stars!"
Gu Wei praised it while eating, then picked up another piece after finishing one bite.
“It’s not as exaggerated as you said!” Ni Ni said modestly, but his face couldn’t help but be happy.
She was happier to be recognized for her own cooking than to receive gifts.
“What do you want to drink?”
“Do you have beer at home?
The weather is too hot, drink some beer to cool down.” “Yes, it’s in the refrigerator! "After Ni Ni finished speaking, he got up and went to get a few bottles of beer, opened the caps and poured them for the two of them.
"Cheers, thank you Mr. Meow for your hospitality!"
"Cheers!"
Cold beer was poured into the cup, with bubbles popping out from the bottom and a layer of white foam on top.
It feels great to drink some cold beer and gourmet food in the summer.
"I remember that the new drama "You" is currently on the air, how can I have time to go back to the capital to rest?" Gu Wei put down his wine glass, picked up a piece of mutton fried with green onions, and asked casually.
Ni Ni also picked up chopsticks to eat vegetables: "There is a new drama on the air, but it is far from being a hit." Well, the male protagonist is not very active in publicity."
At this point, she couldn't help but frown and looked up at Gu Wei: "Do you think I'm not suitable for acting in TV series?"
“How come you have such an idea?”
“I have been making movies since I entered the industry, and I only made two TV movies.
One was "Tiansheng Changge" that was broadcast last year. Everyone knows the results, which caused Mango Channel to lose everything and got a bad reputation.
Then there is "Chen Xiyuan", which is currently airing. The ratings can only be considered average, and it has received various negative reviews since its launch.
They say I have low looks, poor acting skills, and no sense of character with Zhang Zhen.
It made me wonder if it was really not suitable for costumes.”
Ni Ni’s complaint also reminded Gu Wei of her film [Chen Xi Yuan].
The full name should be [Three Lives Three Worlds Chen Xiyuan]. This drama is produced by Huace and directed by Gu Wei's old friend Lin Yufen.
The lead actors Ni Ni and Zhang Zhen are both movie stars. During the promotion, they even used the gimmick that Zhang Zhen came to earth for the first time to film a TV series.
Originally, when all the advantages and conditions are met, it should be a hit drama.
But unfortunately, although Zhang Zhen has good acting skills, his appearance is really not suitable for playing an ancient puppet. He is even uglier than Zhao Youting in the original time and space.
Ni Ni is a heartthrob with unparalleled elegance and charm in many dramas. Her good looks are originally very attractive, but she didn't show them at all in this ancient puppet fairy drama.
Both protagonists exploit their weaknesses and avoid their strengths, so it’s no wonder that the audience ridiculed their appearance.
After all, ancient puppet drama is a type of idol drama, and its audience is mostly young people. When people watch the drama, they first look at the appearance of the male and female protagonists.
Whether the man is handsome or the woman is beautiful is very important.
Then comes the plot, acting and so on.
“Our Mr. Meow is definitely a beautiful woman. Maybe the ancient costume is not as stunning as the modern costume. This is the fault of the stylist.
Zhang Zhen is really not suitable for playing the role of ancient puppets. You two don't seem to have a strong sense of CP.
However, the plot of "Chen Xi Yuan" is still good. Under the long tail effect, this drama should be much better than "Tian Sheng Chang Ge""
Gu Wei's comfort did not have much effect. Ni Ni felt a little depressed.
“I only started acting in TV series in the past two years. Who would have thought that it would start so poorly and two dramas in a row would not be good.”
"Don't worry, you have been acting for so many years and you should know that the performance of the actors only accounts for a small part of the success of a play.
You just didn't get the right role."
"Anyway, I will most likely not try costume dramas again. The company is preparing an urban modern drama. If it doesn't work, I will not make TV dramas in the future. Now, focus on making movies! "
"Urban Drama" Gu Wei thought for a moment, "Yisu's [Golden Years]? "
"Well, yes, the project has just been established. I heard that the investment has not been completed yet. Are you so well-informed? "Ni Ni was a little surprised.
Gu Wei smiled: "Our company has been acquiring the copyrights of some popular novels for a long time and preparing to make them into films. Of course, a famous writer like Yi Shu has also thought about buying her works.
But when we found her, many of her works had been sold, including [Golden Years], which is in the hands of your director Shen, and [The First Half of My Life], which was very popular a few years ago."< br>
Ni Ni rolled his eyes and showed a charming smile.
“You know so clearly, are you interested in participating and playing a role? "
"What can I play? Xie Hongzu or Wang Yongzheng. The age is not appropriate to play Ye Jinyan. The role of Yang Ke is a bit interesting, but it doesn't fit my image."
Gu Wei shook his head .
"Yishu's novels are basically all about big heroines, so they are not suitable for me to star in.
If the crew is short of money, I can be an investor."
Ni Ni also knows in her heart that in order to take care of her, Wei's current celebrity status is not suitable for any role in "Golden Years".
“I’ll help you ask Director Shen later to see if you want to invest in [Wei Ming Xia]”
A drama with a big IP like [Golden Years] will definitely not Lack of investment is just a matter of which company to cooperate with and whose money to get.
After dinner, Gu Wei and Ni Ni cleaned up the dishes together, and then sat on the sofa and watched TV for a while.
"I'm going to take a bath~" Ni Ni, who had changed into light pink pajamas, sat up from the sofa and put on slippers.
“What are you doing?” Before he could leave, Gu Wei pulled him back into his arms.
“I think I need to wash myself too, why not do it together.”
“Then I’ll put the water on”
The two of them took a long bath, and Nini was already soft all over after coming out of the bathroom.
Gu Wei dried her carefully and carried her to the bedroom to rest.
