Chapter 520: Stay for Two Days
When talking about "Beijing Meets Seattle", which was invested by Xingchen Film and Television Company, we have to mention the director Xue Xiaolu's connections in Beijing Film Academy.

Since the shooting of this movie started, many teachers and leaders of Beijing Film Academy have paid close attention to it. Even when Gu Wei and Liu Yifei got engaged and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was a box office hit, there was no decrease in reports about this movie on the Internet.

After the New Year, Xue Xiaolu has been staying in Xingchen Film and Television Company, busy with film post-production editing.

At the same time, the film "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", which was mainly invested by Bona and co-produced by more than a dozen companies including China Film and Xingchen Film and Television, also announced its casting in a high-profile manner.

The popular actress Su Chang was the first to be announced as the female lead, which made many actresses in the circle envious and jealous.

"It's bad enough that I can't compare to Liu Yifei, but now I can't even compare to Su Chang."

It has to be said that as Liu Yifei’s best friend, Su Chang in this time and space also has a good hand.

Not only did some of the bad things that happened in the original time and space not happen, but her acquisition of film resources is no less than that of the big names in the industry. The only pity is that she has not appeared overseas yet and her international popularity is a little lacking.

"Is Changchang dating someone?" Looking at the entertainment gossip on the Internet, Gu Wei asked the young lady with some curiosity.

"Ah, I don't know." The young lady said puzzledly when asked.

But then Gu Wei took out his mobile phone, and saw an online news report that said "Popular actress Su Chang and domestic entertainment newcomer Chen Xiao met privately." There was not only text, but also a photo of the two of them in the same frame.

"This damn girl actually didn't tell me the truth." This was Liu Yifei's first reaction after reading the report.

This made Gu Wei speechless.

Well, let’s get down to business.

After the female lead Su Chang was confirmed, Bona later announced that it would invite Hong Kong superstar Tony Leung to join and play the leading villain "Zuoshandiao".

After seeing this report, netizens finally have something to say.

"Why not invite Han Sanping to play the role of Zuoshandiao? He is a perfect fit for the role."

"Haha, if Yu Dong dares to mention this to Director Han, he will probably be called autistic by the other party."

"What a pity! If Director Gu had directed the film, maybe he could have invited Han Sanping to star in it."

Of course, even if Gu Wei saw the comments and ridicule from netizens, he could only say “you’re overthinking it”.

Even if he was the director, Han Sanping would not have played the role of "Zuoshandiao", after all, this would have damaged the image of cadres within the system.

After the heroine and the villain were confirmed, it was announced that mainland first-line actor Zhang Hanyu would play the role of Yang Zirong, and mainland first-line actress Yu Nan would play the second female lead.

As for the selection of the second male lead, Xu Ke was in a dilemma. After all, he had to be young, have good acting skills and be quite popular. Adding these conditions together, there were not many male stars in the circle to choose from.

"Director Xu, how is Han Dongjun?"

Not to mention, after the assistant director said this, this name really made Xu Ke's eyes light up.

"Since Director Gu chose him, his acting skills must be fine. The only problem is that his status is not high enough, and his box office performance is probably average."

Xu Ke expressed his concerns, but the assistant director thought there was nothing to worry about.

"This movie will definitely be released after The Wandering Earth. When The Wandering Earth is released worldwide, will Han Dongjun, as the second male lead, still need exposure?"

...

Not to mention that Han Dongjun has been noticed by director Xu Ke. As he has acted in Gu Wei's movies, he has long been targeted by the Beijing Film Academy.

Several leaders had already informed Gu Wei in advance, hoping that Han Dongjun would apply for the Beijing Film Academy.

“After discussion, the college felt that it was possible to make an exception and admit the student.

If you have good reputation there, you can also say hello in advance and recommend them over."

Faced with the school leaders' explicit suggestion, Gu Wei did not refuse and agreed directly. After asking Han Dongjun's opinion, the other party was also very interested in studying at Beijing Film Academy.

In this way, Han Dongjun had already grasped the place in the Beijing Film Academy's acting class, which seemed unattainable to outsiders. He even won the first place in this year's art examination as expected.

As a result, Han Dongjun's life trajectory has undergone some slight changes compared to the original time and space.

Online, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has been released for half a month and the box office has successfully exceeded 800 million yuan. The highly anticipated "Tiny Times" has also been reported by various gossips from time to time.

As February is coming to an end, the movies that will be released in March have begun to be promoted in advance.

At the same time, Huang Bo's other film "The 101st Proposal" also hit major theaters, with a box office of million on the first day.

Compared with "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", it's nothing, but compared with other movies in the same period, the gap is huge.

The media did not even give specific figures for the first day box office of "Together" starring Zhen Zidan, but only reported it in general terms:

"The movie "Together" starring Zhen Zidan, Yang Ying, Chen Yanxi and others, grossed less than 10 yuan on the first day."

My goodness, what a staggering achievement! You have to know that the investment cost of this movie was 10 million, and the box office on the first day was less than , which was not even enough to cover the salary of the two leading actors.

Especially at the end of the movie, there was a subtitle giving special thanks to Guo Jingming, which made the very few viewers who watched the movie feel even more ridiculous and disgusting.

Later, the online film reviews came out, saying that the love film starring Zhen Zidan, Yang Ying, Chen Yanxi and others was so bad that it could not be replicated.

"What a cliché plot, but this movie has no plot at all, which is simply an insult to the audience."

"He's a good action star, but he chose to act in a romance movie. His acting is also awkward. He and Yang Ying are a perfect match."

Netizens were very merciless in their comments and only said unpleasant things.

For a time, the topic of whether Yang Ying was worthy of being one of the Four Little Flowers was circulated widely on the Internet.

...

Even though the Spring Festival has passed, the festive atmosphere still exists.

The shopping mall is decorated with lights and looks very festive. People flock to the mall to shop, showing their amazing purchasing power.

In the past 30 years of reform and opening up, we have achieved tremendous results. The social economy has developed by leaps and bounds, and people's income has also risen. With money in their pockets, their spending power has also increased.

Since 08, the country has continuously emphasized the improvement of domestic consumption levels and encouraged people to dare to consume. The domestic market has gained great development opportunities and has skyrocketed every year. The proportion of exports has also begun to decline, and the importance of exports has begun to decline.

Beijing is the capital of China. Along with the four first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, Beijing is unavoidable. It is also home to many world-renowned brands and has everything you need.

Gu Wei also had a rare opportunity to experience the atmosphere of the capital, which has both traditional and modern flavors.

This was Gu Wei’s first time to Wangfujing, and he had only one feeling, that of prosperity.

The entire Wangfujing Street, which stretches from East Chang'an Avenue in the south to the Huaxia Art Museum in the north, is about 1600 meters long and is the most famous commercial street in the capital. Here, there are daily necessities, hardware and electrical materials, clothing, shoes and hats, jewelry, diamonds, gold and silver jewelry, etc., with a dazzling array of goods and a terrifying flow of people. It can be said that this is a place where you can make a fortune every day.

According to statistics, as many as one million customers enter this street every day. It’s scary to think about it. The business of most cities cannot compare to such a street.

This is the first-tier city. The terrifying inverted siphon effect absorbs the labor force and talents from all over the country. Gu Wei even believes that China's four first-tier cities are no worse than any international metropolis in the world.

I spent more than three hours shopping with the young lady before we prepared all the gifts.

Put the gifts in the trunk and drive straight home.

Although Liu Yifei had visited Gu's parents several times, she had never stayed overnight at Gu's house. Now that they were engaged, Gu Wei followed his parents' wishes and brought his younger sister over to stay for two days.

Gu's father and mother were very happy about Liu Yifei's arrival and asked the young lady to sit down.

Speaking of these two old men, they are now cadres within the system. They are just taking a break during the holiday, but will start to be busy again in a couple of days.

Aliens say that working 996 is a blessing, which makes sense in a sense. After all, for many bosses, leaders, and scientists, they work all year round. But for workers, working 996 seems a bit cruel. Of course, it is a different matter if they are paid enough.

Also because the nanny was on vacation, the meal was prepared by Gu's mother herself. The young lady helped from time to time and contributed two dishes, but the cooking skills were very average. Gu Wei even tasted a dish made by Liu Yifei, and felt that this was the legendary dark cuisine.

However, when a family is together, the most important thing is the atmosphere. It is important for everyone to be happy together. Gu Wei also drank two glasses of wine with his father for the sake of happiness.

Around eight o'clock, after finishing his meal and cleaning up the table, Gu Wei returned to the next room.

At this time, the young lady was wearing pajamas and lying on the bed playing with her mobile phones. She was playing with two mobile phones at the same time, one of which was for work and the other was for personal use.

However, at this time, the young lady was using two mobile phones to browse Weibo and various forums, and she laughed neurotically from time to time, which made Gu Wei feel strange.

Gu Wei took a shower, changed into pajamas, and lay down on the bed.

"What are you looking at so happily?" Gu Wei leaned over to take a look.

"A boring man like you doesn't understand!" the young lady said proudly.

After a while, she showed her phone to Gu Wei, but it was full of hot comments about her engagement the day before yesterday on Weibo. Some people praised her for her beautiful dress, some praised the beautiful jade jewelry she wore, and all kinds of corny compliments.

"Go to bed quickly, otherwise you will have dark circles under your eyes tomorrow!" Gu Wei said unhappily.

Don’t read too many comments like this. If you read too many, you will become stupid.

Just like Tik Tok, when you open it, you see beauties and handsome guys everywhere. After seeing too many beauties and handsome guys, you will look down on the people around you in real life and become single.

"You are a man without romance!" the young lady said unhappily. Why is it so difficult to get a compliment?

However, she still turned off the bedside lamp. After all, it was her first time to spend the night at Gu's house. The young lady was thinking about going to bed early and getting up early, and not being in a bad mood the next day.
