Chapter 359: There is also the Birth

When Gu Wei and Liu Yifei showed up at Xingchen Film and Television Company, they naturally couldn't escape being discovered by people who had been lurking near the company for years. Less than an hour after they arrived at the company, a large number of reporters swarmed in.

More and more vehicles are parked downstairs of the company, and the situation is getting worse.

At the same time, in Xingchen Film and Television Company, in Gu Wei's office, an assistant came in to report: "The company's official Weibo account about the official announcement of you and Yifei has been forwarded over 10 million times, with over 200,000 likes and comments. Yifei's Weibo has gained nearly 1 million followers in just two days."

"Really? I didn't notice it. Let me take a look first." Before Gu Wei could say anything, Liu Yifei beside him quickly picked up her phone and started looking.

Sure enough, Weibo is full of messages from fans, and the top ones are posts from various celebrities.

Zhou Xun: "Tell me quickly, when did you two start?"

Netizen: "That's right, tell us the details quickly, or you will be severely punished."

Huang Bo: "Oh, finally I don't have to hide it anymore."

"Ah, so you already knew it. Tell me the details."

In the crew of "The Militiaman Ge Erdan", Huang Bo saw the official announcement photos of the two and suddenly felt relieved. Anyone who is asked questions all day long and cannot answer them will have this feeling.

"Brother Bo, you still say you don't know?"

"That's right. Hurry up, Brother Bo. When did they start? Tell us in detail."

Naturally, other people in the crew also saw the post on Weibo and took advantage of the breaks in filming to get together, all of them with gossiping passions raging in their eyes.

"Hey, that's too long to explain. Let me tell you in detail..."

Huang Bo was bragging to a group of people on the crew, but it didn't affect the popularity on Weibo at all.

"When are you two planning to get married? I need to prepare the gift money in advance." Ning Hao's words completely ignited the comments.

Below, more and more netizens started talking about marriage, and as they were talking, even the names of the couple’s children were already picked out by netizens.

"Senior, look at this, some netizens are urging you to get married, some are urging you to have kids, all kinds of urging, it makes me laugh to death, haha."

In the office, Liu Yifei held her mobile phone, kept reading the comments, and smiled from ear to ear.

Gu Wei looked at the young lady lovingly, while the assistant beside him suppressed his smile and said, "Boss, there are reporters here, do you want to arrange an interview?"

"Then arrange for a few reporters to come in. Don't have too many people. Reporters from Sina Entertainment will be given priority." After all, it is their own industry, and when there is big news, Gu Wei did not forget about them.

As expected, Xinlang’s Weibo account crashed again.

This company claimed that it could withstand five stars cheating or announcing their affairs at the same time, but in less than three days, it collapsed twice, which was a serious slap in the face.

"Boss Gu, next time there is big news, tell me in advance so I can be prepared."

Weibo CEO Cao Guowei called and spoke in a helpless tone.

The reason why Weibo was ignited again was naturally the interview with Gu Wei and Liu Yifei. The two answered some questions from reporters, such as when it started and the current progress of the relationship.

Of course, regarding matters like the time of marriage or even when to have children, neither of them said anything. They were not being mysterious, but they themselves did not know the exact time.

“We are currently in a relationship.”

"I must have met both sets of parents."

"The parents of both sides have met and even had dinner together during the Chinese New Year last year."

One topic after another instantly became a hot search.

In the past two days, media reporters in the circle have to thank Gu Wei and Liu Yifei. The two of them have really contributed a huge wave of topic traffic for them.

Now, whenever there is news or posts about the official announcement of the two on the Internet, there will be a large number of fans and onlookers clicking on them.

Although when you click in, you can see that most of them are scams for traffic and clicks, but this also indirectly proves the current popularity of the two people.

...

"How are the negotiations with your company's cinema chain going? Can it be done this year?" Han Sanping and Gu Wei were chatting in the office of the chairman of China Film Group.

"Mr. Han, you also know that I run a cinema chain?" Gu Wei said with a smile, picked up the tea set in front of him and looked at it carefully.

"Nonsense, I'm not blind. Song Ge has talked with the person in charge of Dadi Cinemas several times recently, and the online media have reported it." Han Sanping said unhappily.

"The higher-ups are currently stepping up their efforts to increase the number of screens, especially the number of screens in the county towns. There are performance indicators for all of them. You should know this."

Han Sanping did not say it explicitly, but Gu Wei had already understood it clearly. The rest was that if there were preferential subsidies at the local level, they should step up their efforts if they had the ability.

After all, from the perspective of the film ecosystem, theaters are the most important link in the industry chain. No matter how a movie is shot or edited, the process is completed only when the audience can see it in the end.

Moreover, cinema chains have always taken the lion's share of the film's profits. This is also the reason why Gu Wei runs a cinema chain. Given the money-making ability of the films produced by Star Film and Television Company, running his own cinema chain can maximize profits.

Moreover, the future will be dominated by theater chains. Even if the film companies have negotiated a share of the profits, in the end you will still have to beg theater chains to show your movies, but generally everyone will not hurt the relationship.

Even though the era of self-media has arrived, cinemas still have dividends to reap, that is, only after a black swan event occurs will online apps take up the lion’s share.

As for now, even Zhang Weiping doesn't dare to go against the cinema chain. He just uses the tiger's skin to fight against the force. Whether it is signing an exclusive contract in the past or competing with Bona, the ultimate goal is still for the box office.

After hearing Han Sanping's words, Gu Wei nodded. It was indeed time for Xingchen Film and Television to enter the cinema chain. The days ahead would be the days for Chinese films to take off.

...

On the other hand, Wan Qian, who joined the Eighteenth Company, recently experienced what it feels like to be popular at noon.

With the TV series "Ghost Blows Out the Light", even though the filming of the TV series has not started yet, Wan Qian's popularity is no less than that of a second-tier star.

Before Gu Wei and Liu Yifei's official announcement, Wan Qian's popularity on the Internet has never decreased. Netizens are very resourceful and have dug out all the news about Wan Qian from the time she started school to the present.

For a time, the audience became more and more looking forward to the actor playing the role of "Staff Officer Yang".

After joining the 18th Company, Wan Qian and her assistant rented a house in the capital to facilitate filming, and the future development center will also be transferred from Shanghai.

After the old employer received the penalty for breach of contract paid by Xingchen Film and Television Company, he didn't say anything. What could he say? Everyone has their own choices, and as long as there are dreams in life, everyone can live a wonderful life.

The heat of the official announcement has just cooled down a little, and the heat of the premiere of "On the Beach at Night Alone" has been reported again.

The Beijing Film Academy had put up banners early on, which read congratulations to Liu Yifei for winning the Berlin Film Actress Award and the premiere of "Alone on the Beach at Night" in the Beijing Film Academy Grand Auditorium, which was full of hype.

The last person who received such treatment was Zhang Yimou's "Under the Hawthorn Tree". At that time, Gu Wei was still lamenting the treatment of the big director, but he didn't expect that it would happen to him now.

Xingchen Film and Television Company, in the artist’s office on the second floor.

This was originally Qin Hao's position, but later Chen Minghao was added.

During this period, in addition to staying at home, Wan Qian would come to the office almost every day to study the script with Qin Hao and Chen Minghao, and from time to time she would spontaneously perform a segment according to the content of the script.

The more they performed, the more Qin Hao and Chen Minghao felt that Wan Qian's acting was good. She was worthy of her background in drama. After she got rid of the exaggeration of her body language and expressions, her acting skills were immediately reflected.

"Here you go. Don't forget to dress up nicely tomorrow."

Qin Hao took out an invitation letter and handed it to Wan Qian.

"What? An invitation to "On the Beach at Night Alone"? Am I included in it?"

Wan Qian exclaimed in surprise. She knew the quality of the guests invited this time. It could be said that only second-tier or above celebrities could participate.

In other words, getting this invitation letter represents your status in the circle.

On Weibo, Fan Binbin, Li Binbin and others posted their invitation letters one after another, which caused quite a stir.

"The director asked me to give it to you. After all, you are also an artist of the company. Naturally, you should participate in more activities. It is beneficial to show your face."

Qin Hao saw Wan Qian's expression and couldn't help but explain.

"Of course I knew there were benefits, but I didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect that you would also get an invitation letter, right? Haha, the director treats everyone equally." Chen Minghao suddenly said.

After receiving the invitation letter, Wan Qian couldn't help but post a message on Weibo.

Ever since she was confirmed to play the leading female role in "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Mystical Ancient City", Wan Qian's fans on Weibo have been increasing rapidly.

Currently, there are hundreds of thousands of fans. For an artist who was not well-known before, this growth rate is not slow. After all, there are not many fake fans on Weibo at this time, unlike the following years.

As soon as the photo was posted, there were comments from fans below.

"Come on, sister. You'll have a lot to eat if you follow Director Gu. Act well."

"Fan Binbin and Li Binbin have invitation letters, and so does Wan Qian, so Wan Qian = Fan Binbin."

Naturally, there are also negative fans when there are positive reviews. When fans of other celebrity artists saw this situation, they instantly became unhappy.

How come they don’t have their own idol, but a little-known Karami like you can have one? No, I’m so pissed off, I have to go and say something to vent my anger.

"It's the same as Fan Binbin and Li Binbin. How can you be so shameless as to say that?"

"That's right, you haven't even made two movies yet, what are your representative works? What are your representative roles?"

"I don't even know my last name after receiving an invitation. There are so many kinds of monsters in the entertainment industry now."

Seeing their idols being bullied, fans naturally get angry and the two sides start to argue with each other, making it quite lively.

As the person involved, Wan Qian naturally also saw the comments from the black fans, but the more fiercely these people cursed, the more it stimulated Wan Qian's fighting spirit.

Similar situations also happened to Zhao Liying, Yu Bo and others, but everyone had similar ideas.

Now that we have leaned on the big tree of Star Film and Television Company, the future is promising.
