Chapter 752 The famous scene of catching a horse
COSMO Fashion Beauty Festival is Asia’s top fashion event organized by [Fashion COSMO].
This year, we have joined forces with the Mageely brand to invite over a hundred stars, celebrities, and artists to the event to create the industry's most watched annual ceremony.
Gu Wei has always had a good relationship with these well-known magazines in the domestic fashion circle.
When he first debuted and was not very famous, he was favored by many fashion magazines.
Later, as his reputation grew, he read all kinds of single covers from well-known magazines in the fashion industry.
Back when he was still a celebrity, he attracted the attention of many international luxury brands. His fame in the fashion circle played a vital role.
Gu Wei appears on magazine covers less and less these days, and this exposure is no longer necessary for him.
But the relationship with various well-known magazines has not been broken, but has been extended to his company.
Because of his boss, the company’s young artists have much better fashion resources.
Especially for some newcomers who are not very famous, like Zhou Ming and Tian Xiwei, relying on the company's relationship, they can directly appear on the covers of many well-known magazines, expanding their influence in another dimension.
In order to maintain this relationship, sometimes it is difficult to shirk inviting Gu Wei, such as the COSMO fashion festival on the night of the 3rd.
The flight landed in Shanghai at noon, and there was no doubt that Gu Wei’s finale appeared on the red carpet of the COSMO Fashion Festival.
As he walked into the ceremony venue amidst the cheers of fans around him, Liu Yuewei, the editor-in-chief of fashion COSMO, greeted him with a smile on his face.
“Mr. Gu, thank you for your support~”
Liu Yuewei is an old man in the domestic entertainment and fashion circles. He has been the fashion director of one of the five major magazines [Fashion COSMO] since 2007. He was promoted to editor-in-chief in 2015. He is a well-rounded person with wide connections. He is a fashion media person on the same level as Harper's Bazaar's Su Mang. .
"Editor Liu is very polite. I have cooperated with [Fashion COSMO] for many years, and we are all old friends."
The two smiled and exchanged a few words, and under the guidance of Liu Yuewei, they dressed Walk across the venue and walk to the big table in the middle of the first row of the stage.
There are no celebrities sitting at this table. They are basically the top practitioners in the fashion industry, such as Sha Xiaoli, who succeeded Su Mang as the new editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazaar, Zhang Yu, the editor-in-chief of [VOGUE], etc. , the only exception is Ms. Guo Miao, the chairman of Maijili, the partner of this ceremony.
After Gu Wei arrived, several editors stood up to greet him, and Guo Miao was particularly enthusiastic.
"Hello, Teacher Gu Wei, I particularly like your movies and am a fan of yours. Can we take a photo together?"
This Mr. Guo looks to be around 30 years old, with an upper-medium appearance and a build. Plump, with a smile that resembles that of a young woman.
Maggieri is a domestic cosmetics brand. Being able to sponsor [Fashion COSMO] shows that it is not small. To run such a large company at this age, either her father or her husband is rich.
"No problem~" Gu Wei agreed with a smile.
Hearing Gu Wei's words, Guo Miao was very surprised. He took out his mobile phone and sat next to Gu Wei, stretched out his hand to take a selfie, and then asked the photographer to take a picture of the two of them with a professional camera.
"This is the first time I saw you, Mr. Gu Wei, offline. I feel you are even more handsome than in the movies and TV series."
"Mr. Guo, thank you~"
Zhang Yu, editor-in-chief of [VOGUE] He smiled and said: "If Mr. Guo really likes it, you can ask Mr. Gu to be your spokesperson for Mageely.
With Mr. Gu as your spokesperson, the sales of Mageely will definitely increase rapidly."
Guo Miao was very moved when she heard Zhang Yu's words, but after thinking about it she still shook her head: "I think so too, but it's a pity that Mr. Gu's endorsement level is too high.
As a small brand, Maijili’s marketing fee for one year may not be enough to pay for Mr. Gu’s endorsement fee.”
Gu Wei just smiled when he heard their words. The two of them were just casual acquaintances. Your own fans will accept endorsements at reduced prices.
Fashion circle status is very important for a star, because it affects the level of endorsements you can receive, especially for fashion brands, such as Red Blood and Blue Blood. These are the most luxurious brands.
These brands are sometimes not recognized simply because they are famous or have high national popularity. Comedy stars like Huang Bo and Shen Teng are famous enough, but their image does not fit the bill. , not involved in the fashion industry, naturally can not receive relevant endorsements
In the fashion industry, celebrity status is mainly measured by the exposure on the cover of fashion magazines
People who can appear on the covers of top international fashion magazines, such as [ELLE], [VOGUE] and [Harper's Bazaar], must at least be celebrities with huge influence in the fashion circle.
This kind of exposure is one of the important indicators to measure a star's status in the fashion circle.
So magazines of the level of the five major magazines have naturally become the targets of celebrities.
Sometimes to be in a magazine, not only do you need to be popular, but more importantly, you need to have connections.
There were many celebrities at the COSMO fashion festival today, and Gu Wei naturally attracted a lot of attention when he entered the venue.
Many of them who had a good relationship with him extended their hands to say hello. When they saw Editor Liu Yuewei greeting Gu Wei beside him, no one felt anything was wrong. After all, it was Gu Wei.
“Oh~ I walked over, I thought Brother Wei would come and sit at our table.”
Nazha was sitting at a round table on the side. She was wearing a silver sequined dress. The feather skirt and tight cut highlight her good figure, her skin is fair and delicate, and her whole body looks white and glowing.
"It's normal. Gu Wei will most likely be with the editors on this occasion, otherwise he won't be able to highlight the importance the organizer attaches to him," replied Reba, who was at the same table.
Her dress today is equally stunning, a deep V blue mermaid dress, a silver headband on her head, long earrings of the same color on her ears, a tall nose bridge, and attractive red hair Lips, full of beauty.
The organizers also have some ideas about borderland and beauty being in the same frame.
Although they have been compared by some media netizens from time to time in the past two years, because of Gu Wei's relationship, Nazha and Reba have a pretty good relationship.
Nazha became famous early, but she had no ambition, and she was always lying flat and in a state of ruin.
Reba worked hard enough. After "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" and "You Are My Glory" became popular, she worked non-stop for almost 365 days.
Now it has obviously surpassed Nazha in terms of popularity and popularity.
Fortunately, in terms of Nazha's character, she said she didn't fight or compete, but she was actually a little weak. She didn't care much about the fact that Reba, who actually had a certain competitive relationship with her, became famous, and the two of them got along as before.
However, she never knew that her home had been stolen by her so-called best friend, otherwise it would not be the normal communication state now.
Of course, maybe with Nazha’s character, she would pretend to be an ostrich even if she knew.
“I saw the Reuters news about you during Paris Fashion Week a few days ago, and all the looks are really beautiful!
I remember you were there on the day of the LV show.” Nazha asked suddenly.
"Yes, I was at the scene."
Nazha suddenly came closer and whispered in Reba's ear: "Then you should have seen Gu Wei and Scarlett Johansson at the scene.< br>
Are they acting very close to each other as mentioned in the news? ”
Reba blinked her big eyes: “It’s okay, they are LV’s global spokespersons and they work together. It seems that we have a good relationship.”
Listening to Reba’s words, Nazha didn’t say anything, but pouted her mouth slightly to express her dissatisfaction.
After Gu Wei entered the venue, there were a lot of celebrities paying attention to him. In addition to Nazha and Reba, there were four beauties sitting at the same table: Ni Ni, Liu Shishi, baby, and Jingtian. Jing Boran and Song were sitting at the other table. Qian, Xiao Zhan, Wu Lei, Song Zuer and so on.
Soon it was time for the ceremony to begin, and the organizers invited actor Wang Yaoqing and Blueberry Channel’s Zhu Dan to be the hosts of tonight’s ceremony.
The opening dance was a bit unique, and it was actually the host Wang Yaoqing who was in charge.
However, he danced pretty well and worked very hard to show off his coquettish dance moves. Gu Wei has no contact with Wang Yaoqing. He only knows that he has always played rich people in film and television dramas. As long as he appears, the audience will know who is the richest in the drama.
"Wang Yaoqing is a very interesting person. The host Editor Liu has found is very interesting." Gu Wei smiled and said to Liu Yuewei beside him.
“I also think he has a great sense of humor and is suitable for driving the atmosphere of the ceremony.”
Like all ceremonies, the main content of the COSMO Fashion Ceremony is also the awarding of awards.
From low to high, from some little stars to the top celebrities, as the ceremony went by, awards were awarded one after another.
At the end of the ceremony, almost the most important "Dream Person of the Year" began to be awarded.
There are twenty people in total for this award, and all the winners were divided into two groups to go on stage to receive their awards.
As the host announced the curtain, the first people to take to the stage were: Zhang Lina, Jingtian, Ni Ni, Nazha, Zhou Bishang, Reba, Huang Xuan, Han Geng, and Xiao Zhan.
After the ten people walked onto the stage, they lined up in a row. The award presenters came on stage to present awards to everyone, and then entered the interview session with the host Zhu Dan.
Zhu Dan asked everyone one question: Apart from your current job, what would be your second dream if you had the chance?
When I asked the first Xiao Zhan, it was relatively normal. There were no mistakes in either the questions or the answers.
Xiao Zhan said he wanted to engage in art-related work. Zhu Dan asked what specifically he wanted to do, and he replied that he wanted to paint.
After wishing Xiao Zhan to become a well-known painter, it was the turn of the second winner, supermodel Zhang Lina.
As a result, Zhu Dan called Zhang Lina Zhou Lina when she first came on board. Fortunately, she responded quickly and changed it immediately. No one paid much attention to it. It is reasonable for the host to make small mistakes occasionally. In this case At CCTV, the deduction is only 200 yuan.
Everything went smoothly for Jingtian and Ni Ni afterwards. Until it was Nazha’s turn, Zhu Dan didn’t know whether he was really not familiar with her or he really couldn’t figure them out, so he called Nazha directly. She became "Dilraba" and handed the microphone to her mouth naturally, without feeling that she had done anything wrong at all.
Everyone on and off the stage was stunned. Gu Wei, who was sitting in the front row, also opened his eyes slightly. He did not expect that the famous scene of Zhu Dan's interview collapse would occur at this grand ceremony.
The scene was a bit embarrassing, but Nazha, as the victim, didn't mind too much. She said with a smile: "My name is Guli Nazha."
"Nazha, I'm sorry, Saori Nazha!" Zhu It was only then that Shan realized what he was saying. His pretentious voice made everyone present laugh.
After Nazha finished speaking, it was Zhou Dongyu’s turn. The mistake just now had a great impact on Zhu Dan. She directly handed the microphone to the other party and said bluntly, "Speak for yourself, Dongyu, I'm nervous."< br>
Zhou Dongyu ended, and it was the next Zhou Bi's turn to sing more briefly, and Zhu Dan called out his name directly.
But whether it was another mistake on her part or an inaccurate pronunciation, what Gu Wei heard in the audience was clearly "ugly singing".
This can be regarded as Zhou Bi Sang's nickname after she became famous. Because of her appearance, she was once called "Ugly Bi Sang" by black fans. Now that a professional host officially said it in public, Zhou Bi Sang took over. His face turned dark when he was on the microphone.
After Zhou Bichang passed, when it was Reba's turn, Zhu Dan seemed to be trying to make up for the mistake he had just made by playing tricks on her and directly called her Naza.
Reba took the microphone calmly and finished her speech normally as if she hadn't heard anything, without being affected in any way.
The COSMO fashion festival was over. Gu Wei’s cell phone kept ringing. He knew what was going on without even looking.
Reba, Nazha and Da Tiantian are all at the scene. It is estimated that Ni Ni can also find him.
He went directly back to the hotel, politely sent a message to everyone, and sent Naza the hotel room number.
As expected, tonight’s horse-catching scene quickly became a hot topic.
Continuously calling her by the wrong name made netizens question Zhu Dan’s professionalism. Many fans even went to her Weibo to start crazy attacks and abuses.
If there were no accidents, this hosting accident would have dealt a huge blow to Zhu Dan's hosting career.
But it’s not someone else’s fault. She, a professional host for many years, has made a series of low-level mistakes in such a big ceremony, and she will definitely have to pay the price for it.
Entering December, this year’s Lunar New Year movie war has officially begun.
On the first weekend, four domestic and foreign films including "The Whistleblower", "The Party at Southern Station", "Interstellar Exploration", and "Jumanji 2: Battle to the Top" were released.
I originally thought it would be a battle between dragons and tigers, but several highly anticipated blockbusters have jointly heated up the currently somewhat cold movie market, kicking off this year’s Lunar New Year season.
As a result, after the first week, I found out that there was a fight between novices. Some had good reputation but low box office, while some had a double win in word of mouth and box office.
First of all, there are two Hollywood blockbusters, [Interstellar Exploration] and [Jumanji 2: Battle to the Top], one is science fiction and the other is fantasy.
[Jumanji 2] is not as well-received as the first one, and its box office for the first three days was only 173 million yuan. However, with this result, it is still the daily champion and weekly champion in the current TV market.
[Ad Astra] only had a pitiful box office of 19.5 million in its first week, and Brad Pitt could not save this bad science fiction movie.
[Interstellar Exploration] is not just being ignored in China. This science fiction blockbuster invested by Fox Pictures has already landed in North American theaters as early as September 20. It has earned a total of 50.18 million U.S. dollars in North America, and at the same time overseas It opened in 53 countries and regions, and earned US$76.98 million overseas.
The total cost of the movie is US$100 million. According to the box office calculation, the box office needs to reach US$300 million to recover the cost. However, it has only received US$127 million in global box office. It is obvious that this film will give Fox Bringing huge losses of more than $60 million.
Two domestic films, "The Party at Southern Station" is a crime-themed drama. Director Diao Yinan directed "Fireworks in the Day" and won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival for that film. .
However, the [Party at Southern Station] did not reach the level of [Daytime Fireworks] at all.
It can be seen that although the film is a crime-themed drama, Director Diao also wants to make a success at the box office.
After all, "Young You" has just been released not long ago. It is also a crime-themed drama and has sold more than 2 billion at the box office.
Zeng Guoxiang cannot compare with him in terms of qualifications or past achievements.
On the first day of its release, the film received 26% of the top rankings, but the box office on the first day was only 43.27 million.
After earning 130 million in box office in the first three days of the first week, the single-day box office dropped to just over 10 million.
Maoyan’s final box office forecast for the movie is 200 million. Based on the total investment of the movie of 100 million, this box office producer will suffer a slight loss.
However, "The Party at Southern Station" was shortlisted in Cannes. With Diao Yinan's fame, Europe and North America should be able to sell some copyrights to help the producers recoup their costs.
Brother Hu really doesn't have much box-office appeal in movies. He became famous early, has a lot of fans, and is popular with the public. The "Sword of Immortal" series gave him a thick filter in the hearts of the audience.
But acting is a matter of opinion. When you meet a suitable role, you can perform well, such as Po in "Flowers"; once you are not suitable, your huge flaws in acting will be exposed immediately. For example, in "The Pretender", he is obviously the real male lead, but he is stretched by Jin Dong's various acting skills.
And like Liu Yifei, his fans only stay at the stage of online praise, and disappear as soon as they spend money to watch movies in cinemas.
Maybe their fans also know that the movies of their idols are most likely not very good.
Another movie [The Whistleblower] was even worse, losing both box office and reputation.
A total box office of only 30.42 million was taken in the first three days. The single-day box office on Monday of the second week was only a pitiful 5.21 million. It is estimated that the profit of the producer was not enough to cover the salaries of Tang Wei and Lei Jiayin. .
The two leading actors were interviewed while promoting the movie. When asked, "What do you dislike most about each other?"
Lei Jiayin couldn't wait to express: She couldn't stand it when Tang Wei always went to the toilet during filming and "peeed too much".
Then he complained: "I took 10 shots, at least 3 times. When my feelings were brewing, Tang Wei told the director that he needed to go to the toilet."
It can be clearly seen in the interview. Tang Wei was emotionally embarrassed and collapsed, and there were tears in his eyes.
As soon as the show aired, Lei Jiayin was criticized by netizens for having low emotional intelligence and disrespecting women.
Time soon came to December 11, and the premiere ceremony of [Manslaughter] was held in Beijing.
