Chapter 136 A Night of Madness

Before coming to Hong Kong Island this time, Gu Wei informed Emperor Entertainment Group in advance. Although he was in an unfamiliar place, he had familiar people to take care of him, so at least there would be no problem with safety.

Hong Kong Island, an international metropolis, was once one of the Four Asian Tigers.

Gu Wei and Liu Yifei were wearing casual clothes. Neither of them brought a suitcase. Each of them carried a bag, and they looked like they were here for a trip.

As soon as she walked out of the airport exit, she was surrounded by two strangers. Liu Yifei immediately moved closer to Gu Wei nervously.

"Director Gu?"

"Well, you are?"

"Director Huo asked us to come pick you up. She's waiting for you in the car outside."

The two bodyguards confirmed it in a very polite tone.

"Well, let's go then."

Gu Wei didn't expect that Emperor Entertainment Group would send Huo Wenxi to pick him up, and they seemed to take him very seriously.

Outside the airport, a Mercedes was parked not far away, with two cars behind it.

"Director Gu, Yifei, welcome to Hong Kong Island."

Gu Wei and Liu Yifei walked to the car, and the door opened. Huo Wenxi, who was dressed in professional attire, spoke first.

"Long time no see, Director Huo."

After saying hello, Gu Wei and Liu Yifei got into the car directly.

The vehicle started slowly, followed closely by two bodyguard cars.

"Director Gu, Mr. Yang has prepared a welcoming banquet for you at the Peninsula Hotel."

In the car, Huo Wenxi said.

"No need to be so grand, just send me to the Batman crew first."

Gu Wei thought about it and refused, deciding to go to Nolan first.

"Okay, let's do as Director Gu says."

Seeing this, Huo Wenxi didn't force it.

Hong Kong Island is a place full of legends, not only its development but also the film industry. Too many classic films and star artists were born here.

Especially in terms of paparazzi, they are much better than those in the mainland. Just now at the airport, there were several waves of paparazzi taking pictures.

Gu Wei notified Emperor Entertainment Group to pick him up for this reason as he did not want to be disturbed by others.

The filming location for "Batman: The Dark Knight" on Hong Kong Island was at the Hong Kong International Finance Centre.

At this time, there were still many passers-by watching the crew filming. A cordon was set up around the area, and a large number of paparazzi and reporters were also among them.

"Director Gu, we've arrived."

Huo Wenxi spoke from the co-pilot seat.

"Well, please excuse me, Director Huo. We'll go in first."

"Director Gu, you're too polite. You can contact me anytime if you have any questions."

After arriving at the location, Gu Wei, Liu Yifei and Huo Wenxi said goodbye, then got out of the car under the protection of bodyguards and went directly into the security circle.

Nolan was filming at the time and seemed very happy to see Gu Wei coming.

The crew is currently filming the scene where Batman dives down from the top of the International Finance Center in Hong Kong Island.

Nolan usually chooses real scenes when shooting movies. Many Hollywood directors jokingly say that he doesn't even know what a green screen is. However, this also shows how serious Nolan is about making movies.

"Gu, long time no see."

Nolan smiled and hugged Gu Wei.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Gu Wei responded.

Then Nolan saw that there was a little girl next to him. Before Gu Wei could introduce her, he said:
"Gu, this is Crystal, right?"

After saying that, he looked at Gu Wei, wanting to confirm with him.

"Hello, Director Nolan, I'm Crystal, nice to meet you."

Liu Yifei introduced herself gracefully.

"Haha, nice to meet you."

"Gu, I haven't congratulated you on the completion of your new movie yet.

I have read the script of this movie, I really like this genre, and I would like to try this kind of movie if I have the chance. "

On the set, Nolan and Gu Wei talked about his new movie.

"Haha, there will be a chance."

Gu Wei's expression remained unchanged as he chatted and laughed with Nolan.

"By the way, Gu, when I was filming Batman, Warner Bros. recommended a script to me, and you were the screenwriter."

Hearing this, Gu Wei raised his eyebrows and had a secret guess in his mind.

"Inception?"

"Yes, that's the script."

When Nolan heard Gu Wei say the name, a smile appeared on his face.

At this time, the movie's male lead Christian Bell and supporting actor Heath Ledger walked over together.

Gu Wei has met Christian Bale, who can be considered Nolan's favorite leading actor.

This was the first time I met Heath Ledger next to me, whose character "Joker" is also a classic.

There are media reports online that in order to better immerse himself in the role, Heath Ledger not only locked himself in a hotel room and isolated himself from the world, but also went to a mental hospital to experience it for himself.

"Hello, Director Gu Wei."

Christian Bale greets Gu Wei.

"Hello." Gu Wei stretched out his hand and shook hands with him.

"Hello, Director Gu Wei, I'm Heath Ledger."

Gu Wei looked at the other person and felt that something was wrong with his mental state.

"Hello, you're a great actor."

"Thank you."

The other person pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled.

...

In the evening, Gu Wei booked the hotel restaurant and invited the main creative staff to dinner. In the restaurant, actors kept toasting Gu Wei. This Hollywood director in front of them was much more famous than Nolan.

"Gu, you watched the crew filming this afternoon. How did you feel?"

Nolan, Gu Wei and Liu Yifei were sitting at the dining table and asked after taking a sip of red wine.

"This movie will become a classic, especially the character of the Joker. His acting skills amazed me."

"Of course, this character was brought to life by Heath Ledger, and believe me, he will surprise everyone."

Nolan seemed very happy when he heard Gu Wei's words.

Liu Yifei sat nearby, listening to their conversation, her beautiful eyes full of tenderness as she looked at Gu Wei.

“Gu, the filming of this movie will be completed soon, and the post-production period is expected to be around half a year.

I really like your script and hope to direct it myself."

Nolan looked at the director in front of him, with a hint of inquiry in his tone. The other party was also a top director in Hollywood, and was not inferior to him in terms of qualifications and experience.

"No problem, but the specific form of cooperation needs to be discussed with Warner before it can be decided."

Seeing that Nolan mentioned "Inception" again, Gu Wei spoke directly.

"Of course, I will contact the company's top management."

Nolan was also very happy after getting the reply.

"I think Crystal is very suitable for the role in this script and would like to invite her to participate."

After seeing the intimate behavior of Gu Wei and Liu Yifei, Nolan directly invited them.

At this time, Liu Yifei has already participated in the Hollywood blockbuster "The Day After Tomorrow" and has just finished filming "Interstellar", a film with an investment of 200 million US dollars. There is no problem with her popularity.

On the other hand, with the rapid development of the mainland market, many Hollywood companies have also turned their attention to the mainland, hoping to enter it, and Nolan also has this consideration.

Hearing Nolan's invitation, Liu Yifei showed joy on her face. She turned to look at Gu Wei, only to see him looking at her with a smile on his face. She immediately understood.

"Director Nolan, thank you for your invitation."

Liu Yifei picked up the red wine glass and spoke.

"Haha, Crystal, I look forward to working with you."

The two clinked their glasses.

The fact that Gu Wei and Liu Yifei visited the set of "Batman" together could not be hidden from reporters and paparazzi in Hong Kong Island. After all, there were a crowd of spectators outside the cordon, and a large number of reporters were also mixed in.

In the hotel, several people were caught on camera chatting and laughing.

The reports and photos quickly spread throughout Hong Kong Island, and people in the mainland also reported the news after seeing it.

"Director Gu and Liu Yifei visited the set of Batman and had dinner together in a hotel restaurant."

"Liu Yifei may star in director Nolan's next film."

"Director Gu accompanied Liu Yifei to Hong Kong Island. The two were suspected to be dating."

...

Various reports were released by the media.

The meeting of two world-class directors was full of topics, and the participation of Liu Yifei added a lot of heat.

"Boss, Director Gu and Director Nolan are meeting. Are they collaborating on a new movie?"

In Emperor Entertainment Group's office, Huo Wenxi looked at the media reports and said to Yang Shoucheng.

"Don't worry, keep an eye on Director Gu's schedule and invite him to dinner before you leave."

Yang Shoucheng has seen many storms and is able to keep his composure.

"Okay, boss."

"It's suspected that they are in love, which is a bit of a pity."

After Florence Hui left the office, Yang Shoucheng glanced at the report and sighed.

Originally, he was planning to let the company's young artists come forward and serve Director Gu Wei well, but after seeing the news, he gave up the idea. Regardless of whether the two are in a romantic relationship or not, it is better not to take the risk and look for an opportunity later.

At this time, the domestic "Lichun" crew saw the report that Dong Xuan was a little absent-minded. She was in a low state during the filming and was scolded by director Gu Changwei.

"Dong Xuan, are you feeling unwell?"

After the shooting, Jiang Wenli came to her and asked with concern.

"Sister Li, I'm fine. I just feel a little uncomfortable. I'll be fine after a rest."

Dong Xuan said with a forced smile.

After returning to the room, Dong Xuan thought of everything that happened before and felt a little upset. During the period when Gu Wei was banned from directing, Dong Xuan had contact with him, but unfortunately, he never responded to her hints.

I thought I could get through this, but after seeing the news today, my mentality was still affected.

"Maybe, we are not destined to be together."

Dong Xuan was lying on the bed, looking at the photo of Gu Wei on her phone, muttering to herself, a tear falling from the corner of her eye.

...

The next morning, when Gu Wei opened his eyes, he saw Liu Yifei lying beside him. After the two of them had a frank conversation in Iceland, they completely let themselves go.

Thinking of the young lady's madness last night, Gu Wei couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Wake up, lazy pig."

Gently stroking the young lady's hair, Gu Wei spoke in her ear.

Liu Yifei had already woken up at this time. Although it was not their first time together, she was still a little shy.

"Well, what time is it?"

He pretended to be confused and asked the time.

"It's almost eleven o'clock. Hurry up and get up. Yesterday you promised Director Nolan that you would go watch him film a movie today."

After saying this, Gu Wei got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

"Okay, I'll get up right away."

Only after seeing Gu Wei enter the bathroom did Liu Yifei open her eyes, picked up the underwear scattered on the carpet, and put it on.

Then, as if he remembered something, his face turned red.

"Go wash up now."

After washing up, Gu Wei saw Liu Yifei and said with a smile.

"Ah."
