Chapter 358 Official Announcement
The outside world was in an uproar because of a photo.
The cast of "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet".
"Liya, is everything said online true? Director Gu and Yifei are together?"
Feng Shaofeng, the male lead who was acting with the actress, was very curious at the moment and asked the question unconsciously. Others around him also looked curious and expectant.
"Ah, I don't know. How could I know so clearly about such a big thing?" Tong Liya had naturally seen the news online, but since it involved her boss's private affairs, she naturally turned a blind eye and dared not say it out.
"Is this true? You have been to Europe together, so didn't you notice any clues?" someone continued to ask without giving up.
Tong Liya hesitated when asked and never revealed anything.
"Let's start work. The director is calling." At this time, the staff arrived on time and everyone dispersed with little interest.
"Brother Bo, you have a good relationship with Director Gu and Yifei, so tell them about it."
In the crew of "The Militiaman Ge Erdan", many people surrounded Huang Bo, trying to find out some information.
"Hey, how would I know that? Besides, I've also looked at the photos online, they're too blurry and I can't see clearly at all." Huang Bo laughed it off.
Similar scenes happened in many places. Huang Xiaoming, Qin Hao, Chen Minghao, Su Chang and other celebrity artists who had a good relationship with Liu Yifei and Gu Wei were all pestered by other people around them to inquire about the authenticity of the news.
"I suddenly feel so happy, as if a huge rock that has been weighing on me has been lifted from my heart!" In the villa, the young lady smiled innocently when she woke up.
Gu Wei said: "As a human being, the most important thing is to live freely and happily."
However, after seeing the photos online, the young lady suddenly showed an expression of having done something wrong, "Oh, it's all my fault. I should have known not to let you pick me up at the airport. Now the news has spread in the circle."
Gu Wei smiled indifferently, "What's the big deal? I'm just trying to find a suitable time to announce it. It's not fun to be so sneaky all the time."
The young lady nodded, "Yes, it should have been done openly, how did it become sneaky?"
"Do you choose a date for official announcements?" Gu Wei asked after thinking for a moment.
Liu Yifei scratched her head. "It's okay. Special days will be very memorable, but the feeling of two people together is the most important!"
"Then announce it." Gu Wei suddenly said.
The young lady was surprised, "Really?"
Gu Wei smiled and said, "Although if you like someone, you don't necessarily have to announce it to the whole world, but I really don't like to keep it secret all the time. Isn't it good to receive other people's blessings openly?"
More and more people are discussing this in the outside world. Liu Yifei already has incredible resources, and now she seems to have won over the most successful commercial film director in the country. This kind of person is simply the public enemy of the industry.
The two of them acted as soon as they said they would. They made an official announcement on Weibo using their respective accounts, posted a few photos of the two of them taken while traveling in Europe, and then turned off their phones.
They enjoyed this rare silence, because they both knew that if they showed up again, they would definitely be hounded by the media.
At this moment, the groom's Weibo was on the verge of collapse with the official announcement of Gu Wei and Liu Yifei, plus the accompanying photos.
It was so sudden, like a bolt from the blue. Countless celebrities and netizens suddenly saw this shocking news, with different expressions on their faces, and hurriedly checked their Weibo accounts, but then they couldn't find any content for a long time.
Some of Gu Wei and Liu Yifei's friends even sent WeChat messages and made phone calls, but found that they could not get through at all.
As expected, Xinlang’s Weibo account crashed, and many forums and chat groups were talking about it.
Later, Zhuo Wei, who is known as the "No. 1 paparazzi in the mainland", also released news to prove the matter.
In order to catch the attention, he also posted several blurry and unclear photos taken previously on Weibo.
As a result, when the news with the picture was released, the number of clicks and comments was very high, but it was almost one-sided criticism.
"Stupid, you just posted photos after they've officially announced it. Just post photos if you want. They're still showing their faces, so what's the point of you?"
"That's right. You are known as China's number one paparazzi, but you don't break the news to us before the stars do. Instead, you only release some blurry pictures after the official announcement. You really don't deserve your title of number one."
"The official announcement photo is a high-resolution photo of the face, much better than yours. How dare you post it like that?"
There were a lot of comments, but they were all negative, which hurt Zhuo Wei. He had revealed the story between the two before, but few netizens believed it, and he didn't take a photo of their faces. He thought he could get some attention by following the trend, but he didn't expect to be scolded.
However, seeing the increasing number of clicks, Zhuo Wei no longer cared. Let people curse him, because he had the traffic and made a lot of money.
...
At the filming site of "New Mom Loves Me Again" at the Huairou Film and Television Base in the capital, director Jin Shixun answered a phone call and suddenly said to the staff beside him: "Change to the next scene, today we will shoot the second female lead's scene."
The people next to him were stunned for a moment, "It's the second female lead's role, not the scenery...!"
"She has a slight cold and can't come today. Let's take pictures of other people first and go get ready." Jin Sehun said lightly.
The people on the side were staring with their eyes wide open, as if they had a cold. Everyone has seen how hard Jingtian worked for this drama. He often stayed on the front line even with minor injuries. Now he is missing the filming because of a cold?
With the "official announcement" that broke out today, no one could guess what was going on, and the news quickly spread throughout the crew.
This movie was produced by Starlight, so naturally, those who could come in were all insiders. No one dared to say it to their faces, but there were still people gossiping behind their backs. "Hey, did you hear that Jing Tian said he had a cold today and didn't come to the crew?"
"Of course I heard about it. I must have been stimulated. You know, Jing Tian often mentions Director Gu."
"Tsk tsk, this is going to be exciting."
"But Liu Yifei is so lucky. She already has enough resources, and now she is with Director Gu."
"That's right, I'm so angry. I was thinking about this when I read the news this morning! No wonder she was the heroine in Director Gu's previous movies. It turns out she is the boss's wife."
"It's a husband-and-wife team. All big directors in the industry are like this. You can't envy them."
Other female stars in the circle did not feel hurt, but more often, they felt an emotion called "anger".
Liu Yifei already has incredible resources, and now she is dating Gu Wei, one of the world's top directors. In the future, she will become the boss lady of Xingchen Film and Television Company. Compared with her, other actresses in the circle are like maids.
Is there still heavenly law, is there still kingly law?
It can be said that from the moment the two officially announced their relationship, all kinds of posts appeared on the Internet.
I don’t know how many female stars are hiring internet trolls, or whether some people are attacking them on their own initiative, but the momentum is extremely huge.
However, these posts disappeared soon. Weibo's strong move made many celebrities and artists realize instantly that Liu Yifei and Gu Wei were together. If they discredited Liu Yifei, wouldn't it be equivalent to discrediting Gu Wei, which means discrediting Xingchen Film and Television Company? Will they still want to stay in the circle in the future?
Afterwards, some sarcastic posts were quietly deleted by the parties involved, and what followed were various blessing posts, all of which were words of blessing.
I have to say, for those who make a living as an actor, changing their face is really a common thing.
Public opinion is becoming increasingly crazy, and various self-media have been concocting various articles to take advantage of this wave of traffic.
For a time, the entertainment headlines were all about Gu Wei and Liu Yifei, and even foreign media reported on them.
However, at the center of the storm was peace. Gu Wei and Liu Yifei came to the company hand in hand.
This was also what Gu Wei suggested, "Go and check on the company's employees as the boss's wife."
"Okay." The young lady smiled sweetly. This was an unprecedented feeling.
At Xingchen Film and Television Company, the arrival of the two people instantly caused a sensation among the employees.
"Hello, boss and boss lady." There is always someone smart and sweet-talking who speaks first.
"Damn it! She got there first." The others were secretly annoyed when they saw this, but they all reacted, "Boss, hello, boss lady."
For a while, there was an endless stream of greetings.
Gu Wei looked normal, as usual, while Liu Yifei smiled throughout. She then asked her assistant to distribute the small gifts she had prepared, which resulted in a wave of thanks.
After entering the president's office, Song Ge couldn't help laughing when he saw Gu Wei.
Gu Wei sat in front of the tea table and made tea by himself. The young lady sat beside him. After a while, Gu Wei said faintly, "Is this so funny? It's as if you had officially announced it."
"Don't talk nonsense, your sister-in-law and I have a good relationship." Song Ge came over and sat down opposite and said, "No, I just thought that your official announcement caused too much of a stir.
Look, the Hollywood media has reported it.”
Gu Wei put down the teapot and said, "Haha, they are really fast. It's only been a day."
"You don't know, you were single before, but you are the most famous bachelor in the circle. Now you suddenly make your relationship public, so this situation naturally occurs.
But it’s good, and it can also add some popularity to the next movie to be released.”
Hearing what Song Ge said, Gu Wei rolled his eyes and ignored him. Instead, Liu Yifei smiled.
"By the way, I have arranged the premiere. It will be held in the Beijing Film Academy Auditorium. According to your wishes, all the guests invited are well-known directors and actors in the industry."
Seeing Gu Wei's reaction, Song Ge smiled and started talking about business.
Gu Wei took a sip of tea and said, "Well, that's good. We don't need to invite too many people. It's just like Director Zhang's "Under the Hawthorn Tree". The scale doesn't need to be too large."
Speaking of the premiere venue, it was Xie Xiaojing from the Beijing Film Academy who took the initiative to propose it. After all, Liu Yifei, a graduate of the Beijing Film Academy, won the Best Actress award, so the school naturally wanted to share in the glory.
Xie Xiaojing mentioned it twice, and after discussion, Gu Wei and Liu Yifei agreed to hold the event at the Beijing Film Academy. Since they had chosen the Beijing Film Academy, the scale must not be too large, and the venue space would not be enough. It would be fine as long as the invited guests were of sufficient status.
Afterwards, Han Sanping called and teased him a few times, "You are finally willing to make it public."
"Mr. Han, are you calling to talk about this?" Gu Wei asked curiously. Han Sanping is old and should not be so gossipy.
"Haha, let's get down to business. Don't forget to announce the film project at the premiere. I'll have the media prepared."
"Oh, I see."
