Chapter 439 Chapter These are Director Gu’s original words.
In the villa, Liu Yifei has been relatively free recently.

After the last dinner with Gu Wei, Zhang Liangying and others, he stayed at home again, never going out of the house, and just wanted to have everything he wanted.

In the evening, when she saw Gu Wei coming back, as soon as he entered the door, the young lady suddenly jumped onto him.

"Xixi, you seem to have gained weight." Feeling Liu Yifei's tight figure, Gu Wei raised his eyebrows and said.

"Ah, is that so?" Upon hearing this, the young lady immediately broke free from Gu Wei and ran to weigh herself. When she came back, she had a bitter face and kept muttering "It's over, it's over!"

"Ah, I gained two pounds. I won't eat at night to lose weight!"

"0.0"

In the end, the young lady couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food. She ate while saying that she would lose weight after today, just like the netizens who are on a diet.

After dinner, the two snuggled on the sofa, and Gu Wei watched the hit TV series "Flying Tiger Eagle", also known as Yan Shuangying.

However, there is no line like "I bet there's no bullet in your gun" in this TV series.

Speaking of the Yan Shuangying series of TV dramas, there are a total of six works, namely "Hero", "Falcon 1949", "Flying Tiger Eagle", "Eagle on the Lonely Island", "Gun God of the Desert", and the last one "Tianjin Eagle".

The most classic line appeared in "Falcon 1949", which was broadcast in 2009.

To be honest, this TV series was criticized by netizens online as a magical anti-Japanese drama.

But as time went on, the popularity of mainstream works increased, and the deeds of some anti-Japanese war martyrs and heroes were discovered and reported.

Looking back, it turns out that this TV series was not fantastic enough and was too euphemistic. The heroes in real life are much more powerful than Yan Shuangying.

Gu Wei watched with great interest while Liu Yifei next to him was playing with her mobile phone.

"Has Director Zhang finalized it? When will it start?"

Hearing this, Gu Wei turned his head and looked at the young lady, "It will probably take some time, but the female lead is reserved for you, but you still need to audition."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I'll try my best. It's normal for a big director to have some requirements." After that, she started fiddling with her phone again, typing away.

The young lady is still in a very relaxed mood. She doesn't feel any pressure whether it is the upcoming audition or participating in Zhang Yimou's movie.

After all, Liu Yifei has worked with Nolan, a famous director in Hollywood, let alone other people, whose psychological qualities are excellent.

"Who are you chatting with?"

"Changchang, the filming of "Breakup Master" is about to start. Let's ask her how she is doing recently?"

"Oh." Gu Wei responded, "By the way, Xu Zheng called me and said he wanted to invite you to make a guest appearance and show your face."

"Okay, are we going to Thailand?" the young lady asked curiously.

"Why go there? Once the filming in Thailand is finished, we can just come back to China and do some extra scenes."

"It's not a real-life shoot, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"Xixi, do you know what special effects are? When the time comes, the company can produce a shot and it will be done in minutes." Gu Wei looked at the young lady and said.

Well, I got a cold stare from the other party.

As they were talking, Liu Yifei asked about Zhang Yimou's matter, and learned that Zhang suggested handling the matter in a low-key manner and not pursuing it too much.

Perhaps this scene of cyberbullying reminded her of some of her previous experiences, and the young lady was a little angry.

"Ah, that's just his character!"

Zhang Yimou's avoidant personality has a lot to do with his upbringing.

Because of his poor background, he suffered unfair treatment since childhood. After being bullied, he always liked to hide away alone to slowly digest and vent his anger. Unexpectedly, he still maintained this habit when he was old.

.........

The next day, Gu Wei returned to the crew and continued working.

Online, the popularity of "Special Identity" remains high.

Seeing that the matter was getting bigger and bigger, netizens could no longer sit still, because the increasingly arrogant atmosphere from the Hong Kong media caused dissatisfaction among most people.

People like Wang Jing spoke out boldly, ignoring the doubts of netizens and bluntly pointed out:
"Everyone in the industry knows that this is how Vincent Zhao behaves. We will all stand by you. Come on, Zidan. We support you."

The Hong Kong and Taiwan stars and mainland actors and entertainers who stood in line jumped out like dumplings.

The people on Zhen Zidan's side are all from Hong Kong and Taiwan, including Shu Qi, Wong Jing, Huang Boming, Chen Kexin, Wu Yuru, Simon Yam, Li Ming, etc.

Those who support Zhao Wenzhuo are actors from mainland China and some artists from Hong Kong Island, including Qin Lan, Zuo Xiaoqing, Liang Bojian, Liang Jiaren, Yuan Biao, Yuan Hui, Chen Yixun, Xu Jiao, Yang Mi and others.

Looking at the two sides taking sides online, Gu Wei couldn't help but shook his head.

To be honest, mainland artists are indeed not as united as the filmmakers from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Looking at the situation, there are only a few mainland celebrities who have voiced their support. There is not a single Four Dans, Two Bings, or first-line big names, and they are not even as united as netizens.

It was in this environment that the Asian Film Festival was held as scheduled at the end of March.

On the day of the film festival, many mainland crews and celebrity artists were absent, as if everyone had discussed it in advance.

Seeing this, the Hong Kong media pointed the finger directly at the mainland the next day, and even brought up the film festival that had just been held yesterday, implying that the mainland looked down on the film festival held in Hong Kong and that mainland directors were destroying unity.

"Mainland filmmakers were seriously absent from the Asian Film Festival, while the entire crew of Oscar-winning Best Foreign Language Film A Separation attended the Asian Film Festival."

"Director Zhang Yimou, who was nominated for Best Director, was absent."

"Director Jiang Wen, the domestic box office champion of Let the Bullets Fly, was absent. Report after report was released by the Hong Kong media.

Now both sides are arguing with each other and neither is willing to give in. Things are becoming a little serious.

On the other hand, netizens on the Internet seemed to have vented their anger and started praising Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen and others.

Feng Donghuo: "Well done!"

Dear An Feng: "I gave them face, and they still have the nerve to say this and that."

Unfilled: "Anyway, I support my own people, and Zhao Wenzhuo is right."

.........

Tangren Film and Television Company, President’s Office.

Hu Ge looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him with some guilt, but his tone was still firm.

"Sister Cai, I'm sorry, Xingchen Film and Television Company has a bright future, and I don't want to miss this opportunity."

Cai Yinong, sitting behind his desk, was still digesting the news that Hu Ge wanted to terminate the contract, and he could hardly hide his shock.

Compared with Xingchen Film and Television Company, the current Tangren Film and Television Company does have a huge gap.

Although Cai Yinong has signed some promising artists in the past two years, he has also promoted Liu Shishi, Jiang Jinfu and others.

But there is still a distance compared with the artists under Xingchen Film and Television Company. Liu Yifei's popularity and influence alone overshadow all of them, not to mention Qin Hao, Chen Minghao, Tong Liya and other artists who have become popular one after another.

With the addition of the great director Zhang Yimou, it is not an exaggeration to say that Xingchen Film and Television is at its peak at this time.

Moreover, Gu Wei has many resources in Hollywood. To put it bluntly, if Gu Wei just shouts that he wants to make a new movie, the world's top superstars will line up for him to choose.

Tangren Film and Television is only somewhat famous in the field of TV dramas, and has almost no involvement in movies. The two sides are not on the same level.

"You should think about it more. Don't forget that they also have their own agency with many artists. Just like the casting of "The Wandering Earth" this time, there are not many people from Xingchen Film and Television in the leading roles. It can be seen that the competition among them is also fierce." Cai Yinong is still trying hard to keep Hu Ge. She really has feelings for Hu Ge, who she personally promoted.

Hearing this, Hu Ge felt a little bit reluctant. With the help of Cai Yinong, he gradually became famous and became a popular young actor in the circle. Cai Yinong was very kind to Hu Ge in his career.

On weekdays, Cai Yinong was very caring towards him, and Hu Ge was grateful to him from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't know when the mentor in front of him changed.

Things became a little strange to Hu Ge, maybe it started from when he became the nanny of Liu Shishi, Jiang Jinfu, Nazha and others, or maybe it started from his repeated promises and disappointments.

Hu Ge suppressed his emotions and hardened his heart. He knew that Tangren Film and Television Company had limited resources, and if he wanted to get out of the TV industry, Xingchen Film and Television was the best choice.

"Sister Cai, I know in my heart how good you are to me, and I am very grateful.

But I also thought a lot during this period, especially after the car accident. During that time, I kept thinking about what I really wanted.
Later, I finally figured it out. What I want is not fame, status, or money, but to work hard as an actor, to bring happiness to the audience and fans through my works, and to leave my name in the history of film through my works.”

Hu Ge's tone was flat, but these words had already made Cai Yinong understand the other party's determination.

"Sister Hua, you've been very kind to me, but I've already decided that I will pay you every penny of the liquidated damages.

Although we won’t be working together in the future, our relationship will still be there. If you need anything, just give me a call and I will be there.”

"Ugh."

Cai Yinong sighed, and after saying this, he didn't want to waste any more words. He stood up and hugged Hu Ge.

Half an hour later, Hu Ge, who had initially handled some formalities, left with an assistant and an agent.

Before getting in the car, he looked back at the office building where Tangren Film and Television was located, with a look of reluctance and relief in his eyes.

.........

Gu Wei has been staying at the filming site of "The Wandering Earth" these past two days. It was a mess outside and he was blocked by the media once.

When Liu Yifei got tired of reading scripts at home, she would drive over and bring a lot of snacks and fruits.

Then, he lost himself in the calls of "Boss Madam" and smiled complacently.

In the past few days when the controversy over "Special Identity" has intensified, the coverage of Zhang Yimou's extra births on major entertainment portals and forums has become less and less.

Because Zhang Yimou spoke publicly, admitted his mistake and apologized publicly, and stated that he had paid the fine for having more children than allowed in full.

Later, Wuxi's family planning department also spoke out to confirm this fact: Zhang Yimou took the initiative to admit it to the Wuxi family planning department and paid the fine, with a good attitude!

Meanwhile, New Picture Inc.

Zhang Weiping's face suddenly darkened when he looked at the online statement and the confirmation from the Wuxi Family Planning Department.

If the situation continues to develop in this way, it will certainly not cause any serious damage to Zhang Yimou, because public opinion has gradually subsided.

Netizens are only concerned about this matter because it involves Zhang Yimou. If the person involved was not the famous director Zhang Yimou, it would be none of their business who has more children than allowed.

Compared to this, they are now more concerned about the incident involving Zhen Zidan and Zhao Wenzhuo.

Because, after Gu Wei and Lu Yang spoke out, Liu Yifei also posted on Weibo to support Zhao Wenzhuo, and added at the end, "These are Director Gu's original words! Haha!"

As the most popular female star in the circle, Liu Yifei's move, coupled with Gu Wei's words of support for Zhao Wenzhuo, instantly excited netizens.

Subsequently, a large number of celebrities in the circle took action.
