Chapter 180 Just leave
In late October, Gu Wei set off from Los Angeles Airport and returned to China alone.

The North American box office of "Interstellar" has exceeded 8 million, and the global box office has reached about 12 million. The media predicts that the final box office can reach about billion.

Since then, Gu Wei finally put his mind at ease and prepared to return to China to prepare for the filming of "A Dog's Purpose".

"Senior, Director Xie Jin is gone."

After landing at the Capital Airport, Liu Yifei, who came to pick him up, mentioned the latest news.

"Well, let's go back."

...

Director Xie Jin was born in 1923. He is a member of the National Party in Zhejiang Province. He graduated from the Directing Department of Jinling National Drama College and is a famous director and screenwriter in mainland China.

In 1950, he served as assistant director in the love movie "The Mute Wife".

In 1954, he independently directed the Huai Opera short film "Blue Bridge Meeting", which started his directorial career.

In 1986, the feature film "Furong Town" directed by him won the Best Feature Film Award at the 7th Golden Rooster Awards and the Best Feature Film Award at the 10th Popular Hundred Flowers Awards.

Zhao Yanzi, Liu Xiaoqing and Jiang Wen attended Director Xie's memorial service. For Jiang Wen, Director Xie Jin was his mentor and like a father to him.

Gu Wei and Liu Yifei were not present. He was not familiar with director Xie Jin. Well, he had never even met him.

There was only respect for the director Gu Wei, and there was no communication between the two.

I heard that at the memorial service, Liu Xiaoqing gave some money to Director Xie Jin's widow as a thank you for his previous help to her. This shows how well off Director Xie Jin's family was.

This is very similar to the actor Fu Biao who passed away a few years ago. He was a generous man, but when he died, his family was penniless.

"Are you there? Come over and hang out, we're all familiar faces."

As soon as he returned to the villa, Han Sanping called and asked him to come over for dinner.

"I'm too tired. Forget it. Don't bother me."

After saying that, he hung up the phone. Han Sanping on the other end felt a little depressed.

"Haha, let's eat. Director Gu is busy with something."

"That's a pity. See you next time."

The people nearby laughed and spoke along, not daring to show the slightest dissatisfaction.

"Boss Han?"

Liu Yifei asked curiously.

"Who else could it be but him? Don't worry about him. Let's just rest up tonight."

The sly smile on Gu Wei's face made Liu Yifei blush.

"Come just come, whoever is afraid of whom."

The two ordered some takeout and hurried upstairs after eating.

...

The spring night is short and the day is high, and since then the king will not go to court early.

The ancients were not lying to me. Gu Wei was able to cope with just one young lady. I can't imagine what the situation was like with three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines. No wonder so many of them died young.

"When does it start?"

Liu Yifei just woke up and stared at Gu Wei and asked.

"Start with what?"

Gu Wei asked back, feeling a little guilty for some reason.

"Movies, what are you thinking about?"

Liu Yifei scolded, and she was about to take action with her beautiful eyes rolled up.

"Take a few days off first. Don't be in a hurry. The film will be finished in two months at most. Let's do the preliminary preparations first."

"How about we go on a trip and hang out for a few days?"

She's been bored at home recently, and Su Chang is on a filming trip, so there's really no one to accompany her.

Su Chang is currently filming the TV series "Spring and Autumn Yancheng", in which she plays the leading female role Luofu, the gentle and virtuous Princess Yancheng. She joined the crew in mid-June.

"Okay, just the two of us?"

"Who else do you want to take?"

Liu Yifei stared at him with big eyes.

murderous look!
Send a proposition!
"Well, I'm just asking, isn't it more lively with more people?"

Gu Wei touched his nose and spoke hurriedly.

...

In a person's life, there should be at least two impulses, a reckless love, and a spontaneous trip.

I have been with this young lady for several years, and we have found a love that we are willing to risk everything for. Now all we need is a spontaneous trip.

“Put your passport in your bag when you get home so you don’t forget it.

Bring some more thick clothes. If you are going to Northern Europe, do you need to bring long johns, senior?"

At this time, Liu Yifei in the co-pilot seat was muttering to herself, counting the things that should be brought.

In the past, whenever the young lady went out, she would have an assistant to help her pack, but this time she decided to go out at the last minute and had to make her own plans.

Gu Wei found it a little funny to hear Liu Yifei say this. The young lady was quite cute.

In fact, the two had not yet decided where to go, so they decided to get their passports and pack their things first.

"Want to go to Northern Europe?" Gu Wei held the steering wheel, his eyes fixed ahead.

"Yeah, I wanted to go over there before, but I never had the time. I'm usually lazy, so I just stay at home when I have a break."

As she spoke, Liu Yifei felt a little embarrassed.

Gu Wei nodded slightly, "I've never been there for a proper visit, and the temperature is just right now."

The location was agreed upon and the car arrived at the entrance of the villa.

"Isn't Auntie at home?"

"My mother went to my grandmother's house, so I'm alone at home."

The two of them walked into the villa hand in hand, "I'm going to pack my things."

"Take your passport and ID card first."

Putting on slippers, Liu Yifei handed the two things to Gu Wei, and then went upstairs to pack them up.

For a moment, Gu Wei wanted to say that there was no need to rush. But then he thought that the young lady's heart had probably flown to Northern Europe, so he might as well go directly.

Sitting on the sofa, Gu Wei started booking a plane ticket.

"Just bring a few pieces that fit you best, and buy the rest when you get there."

Looking at Liu Yifei making some noise upstairs, Gu Wei reminded her.

After a while, Liu Yifei came downstairs and glared at Gu Wei, "Why didn't you say so earlier? Bring them all."

After saying that, he patted the exquisite suitcase next to him.

When he reached the door, Gu Wei suddenly remembered something and took out his cell phone to call Wang Chen.

"Go check the marital status of the Tudou Video CEO?"

In the original time and space, the CEO of Tudou ended his one-year marriage with his ex-wife before the IPO. At that time, on the grounds that Tudou.com was a negative asset, his ex-wife left the house with nothing.

Later, when Tudou.com submitted its listing application to NASDAQ, the founder's ex-wife filed a magical application to the court the next day, requesting property protection and equity division. As a result, the listing time was postponed for half a year.

Its old rival Youku landed first, with a market value of over 30 billion US dollars. By the time Tudou had dealt with its affairs, it was already too late, with a market value of just over million. It was slow at every step, and finally ended up being acquired.

“Look at the Internet companies we invested in and see the situations of their founders’ marriages, families, and shareholders.”

"Okay, boss."

Tudou.com is a project invested by Gu Wei, who has invested a lot of money in several rounds of financing. He does not want any bloody incident to occur before the listing.

The two drove to the Capital Airport and parked the car in the parking lot so that it would be convenient to drive back.

"I'm going out for a few days. If anyone wants to see me, just tell them I'm not here."

I sent a text message to Wang Chen and went to the waiting room with Liu Yifei.

"Boss, be happy when you finish."

Seeing the text message from Wang Chen, Gu Wei smiled slightly and turned off the phone.

...

The flight from the capital to Paris takes about eleven hours. The two set off during the day and arrived in Paris late at night.

"Reached?"

"Well, let's go to the hotel next door to rest and talk about it tomorrow morning."

After getting off the plane, he took a taxi and came to the star-rated hotel booked by Gu Wei.

In late October, the average temperature in Northern Europe was around ten degrees. After getting off the car, Gu Wei unconsciously tightened his clothes.

After arriving at the room, Liu Yifei went to wash up, and Gu Wei stood in front of the window looking at the lights outside, feeling a little emotional.

I have been busy filming in the past few years. After falling in love with the young lady, I have also been busy with my career and have not really had a good time.

"We should come out more often in the future."

Gu Wei made a secret decision in his heart.

"I'm fine, go ahead."

"okay."

Gu Wei came to his senses and walked towards the bathroom.

It was almost eleven o'clock in the morning when Liu Yifei woke up slowly. Looking at Gu Wei who was still sleeping beside her, she smiled unconsciously.

After a simple tidying up, the two went to the hotel restaurant, where they enjoyed a French meal and chatted.

“This thing tastes really bad.”

The young lady ate some so-called high-end Western food and complained directly.

“It’s not as good as the soy milk and fried dough sticks in China.”

Gu Wei also said something.

"Let's see if there is a Chinese restaurant this afternoon."

After lunch, the two of them must take a good stroll.

We left our footprints at the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, and the banks of the Seine, as well as various group photos.

No one here knows them. After all, foreigners look at Chinese people the same way Chinese people look at them. If they don’t have some special features, it’s hard to remember them.

Without wearing a mask or sunglasses, the young lady looked like she was letting herself go and having a great time.

At the same time, domestic reporters had not found any trace of Gu Wei for two consecutive days, and various speculations emerged.

One moment it was said that Director Gu went to Hollywood again, the next moment it was said that Director Gu was secretly preparing for a new movie.

"Director Gu wouldn't have gone out with Liu Yifei, would he?"

There are people who speculate this, but not many people believe it. The two have known each other for several years, but have never gone out alone with each other except when filming a movie.

The domestic box office of "Interstellar" has officially exceeded 400 million, breaking the record set by "Titanic".

"Where's Director Gu?"

Han Sanping asked his assistant, "I've been home for a few days, but I haven't seen him. He doesn't answer his phone. Is he getting carried away?"

"Um, someone from Xingchen Film and Television Company said that Director Gu went out to travel."

"He does know how to enjoy himself. Forget it. Let's talk about the celebration party and the new movie after he comes back."

Han Sanping shook his head and smiled. It’s good to be young. You are full of energy and can go anywhere at any time.

"Okay, Director Han."

While other people in the circle were guessing where Gu Wei was, the two of them had already arrived in Copenhagen, Denmark, the fairy tale capital, to visit Andersen's former residence and go to Langelinie Park to see the bronze statue of the Little Mermaid.

"Senior, look, there's also a poster for Interstellar here."

In a large shopping mall in downtown Copenhagen, movie posters are displayed, including the portraits of Leonardo DiCaprio, Charlize Theron and Liu Yifei.

"Let's go, before anyone recognizes us."

The two of them came here just for fun. If they were recognized, they would immediately make headlines.

Denmark is a country with high income, high taxes and high welfare, but its population is too small and it does not account for a large share of the international movie box office. "Interstellar" was released here for more than two weeks, but the box office did not exceed two million US dollars.

Well, if you add up all the small European countries, the box office revenue is still quite high, after all, consumption is high and ticket prices are expensive.

...

“I think the time is not right yet. It’s not that there are no suitable scripts, but the domestic market is still a bit small.
