Chapter 643 May 4th Youth Party

On April 30, Gu Wei's flight landed in Beijing in the morning. After leaving the airport, the nanny car drove directly to the CCTV building.

This year's May 4th Gala was guided by the Central Propaganda Department, the Ministry of Education, and the Communist Youth League, and hosted by China Central Radio and Television. It is called [Dreaming in the New Era].

CCTV was entrusted by the above and attached great importance to this year's gala, so it invited many popular young stars to perform on stage.

The gala was recorded, and there were some award-giving procedures, so it was held a few days in advance.

"Gu Wei~"

In the backstage of CCTV, Gu Wei saw many familiar faces as soon as he arrived.

Zhang Yishan came up to him in a white suit.

"Brother Wei~" He was accompanied by Peng Yuchang.

These two are today's performance guests.

"When did you two arrive?"

"I just arrived not long ago and was chatting with Brother Yishan." Peng Yuchang was wearing a black suit with a white lining inside, and looked very young.

"Just now I told Peng Peng that he will definitely be a big hit in this gala, and he will sing solo in the second half." Zhang Yishan said with a smile.

"Really?

I didn't look at the program carefully, Peng Peng is good. I heard you singing at the party before and felt that you have potential." Gu Wei also praised Zhang Yishan.

"What? I am just at the level of KTV. I sang solo because there was a puppet show in the Shanghai Theatre Academy. It happened that I was the only one in our department who was a little famous, so I was asked to sing as the background music of the show."

Peng Yuchang scratched his head and said honestly.

Everyone knows that he majored in puppet performance in the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

"Your singing is the main program, and the puppet show is similar to the effect of dancing, so perform well." Zhang Yishan patted his brother on the shoulder, and then looked at Gu Wei.

"You look so tired, did you just get off the plane?"

"Yes, I've been filming in Yunnan. I came back last week because of something at the company. I went back to the crew to film for a few days and then had to come back again."

"I saw the news. Wow, there's a new animated film [Yang Jian]. I'm really looking forward to it.

I wonder what the plot is like?"

"We've just made the beginning. It will take at least two years for the film to be released. If you are interested, you can ask Peng Peng to take you to the animation company for a visit. But don't let me know about the plot and character images." Gu Wei saw that Zhang Yishan was very interested and said generously.

"The animation company is downstairs from our company. I often go there when I have nothing to do at the company. I'm also familiar with Director Jiaozi." Peng Yuchang continued.

"That's great. I really want to go and see it when I have time.

What is the main plot of this story? Will it be similar to [Nezha]?"

"It's hard to tell you specifically, but there are some differences. There will be more fighting scenes in [Yang Jian], which feels a bit like a hot-blooded show," said Gu Wei.

"I'm more interested when you say that."

The three of them were chatting, and other stars backstage saw Gu Wei coming and came over to greet him.

Other evening parties may have some seniors in the circle who are older and have higher status. All the guests of the May Fourth Youth Evening Party are young artists. Gu Wei can be said to be the most important here, and his show is undoubtedly the finale.

"Brother Wei~

Just now I was talking to Sister Si Chun about when you can come."

Guan Xiaotong walked over with long wavy hair and a pair of long legs, and next to her was Ma Sichun in a white dress.

"Brother Wei~" Ma Sichun greeted him with a sweet smile when she walked to Gu Wei.

"Si Chun, long time no see." Gu Wei smiled and nodded slightly.

"Hey, I'm still standing here." Guan Xiaotong said with some dissatisfaction when she saw Gu Wei ignoring her.

"I know. Who can miss you with those long legs of yours?"

Why didn't Xiaolu come? Logically, he shouldn't be invited to such a party?"

"Well, he has other work and his schedule is a bit tight.

Besides, isn't his former teammate also at the party today? He doesn't really want to go." Guan Xiaotong explained.

This year's May 4th Party was planned to be a big one by CCTV, and almost all the hottest traffic stars of the new generation were invited.

According to Guan Xiaotong, Lu Han was actually invited, but he didn't come for personal reasons.

It seems that this year's May 4th Party will be very attractive to young people.

When Gu Wei came, he looked at the program list. Zhang Yixing and Li Jiaheng each had a solo program, and Li Jiaheng was even before him.

"Yang Yang is also here today. We are missing Chen Duling from [Left Ear]." Guan Xiaotong subconsciously ignored Ou Hao.

"Come to think of it, 4 years have passed in a flash. It was the summer of 2014 when we filmed "Left Ear" together.

Everyone seems to have grown up.

Xiaotong has grown from a little girl in middle school to a big girl, and she has found a boyfriend. Si Chun has also become a Golden Horse Film Queen, and even Yang Yang has become a top star now.

Time is really a magical thing."

After Guan Xiaotong finished speaking, Gu Wei thought of the scene when everyone filmed "Left Ear" together before, as if it was yesterday, and said with some emotion.

"Please, you are not much older than me, don't talk so old-fashioned, okay."

Guan Xiaotong curled her lips, and Ma Sichun looked at Gu Wei quietly on the side, without saying anything.

"Do you have anything to do tonight? Let's have dinner together after the recording of the party is over. It's been a long time since we got together." Gu Wei looked at the two and invited them.

"Okay, but are we the only three?" Guan Xiaotong agreed very happily, and Ma Sichun beside him also nodded with a smile.

"And Zhang Yishan and Peng Yuchang."

"Okay, that's settled!"

Not long after, the stars who knew Gu Wei backstage came over to say hello, and Yang Yang and Zhang Yixing also came over to say hello to Gu Wei.

Some stars who didn't know Gu Wei, such as Hu Xianxu who debuted as a child star, Yin Zheng of Tide Hailing, Jiang Mengjie who played Lin Daiyu, and other young artists who were not very famous, all came over to say hello to Gu Wei.

It was a bit like when Gu Wei first appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, Cheng Long or Liu Dehua were backstage, and many actors went to say hello and show their faces.

"Huh~ Hu Xianxu is really good at talking, worthy of being a Tianjin native, and he is also a good crosstalk artist even if he is not an actor." Gu Wei also breathed a sigh of relief after sending Hu Xianxu, who came last, out of his lounge.

Being a big shot is not so easy. For the stars who come to greet him, even if he doesn't know him, he has to be gentle and sit down and chat with them.

People do this because they respect him. Gu Wei doesn't want to be impolite, and he doesn't want to give people the impression of being a cold and arrogant big shot.

Others are easy to talk about. They basically say a few words and leave. I don't know where Hu Xianxu got so many topics to talk about after sitting down.

He has never worked with Gu Wei, but he has worked with Zhang Zifeng and Zhao Jinmai. The two are very familiar with Gu Wei, and they can chat for half a day through this relationship.

"Haha, the little actor admires you, so polite"

After Hu Xianxu left, Zhang Yishan and Peng Yuchang were still in the lounge. The two had already regarded this as their own lounge.

"Don't you find that Hu Xianxu is quite similar to you?"

"How is he like me? We both debuted as child stars?"

"He is as talkative as you, and he has been talkative since he was a child."

After Gu Wei finished speaking, Peng Yuchang picked up the fun on the side.

"My next movie is going to be a movie with Zhou Dongyu. You filmed a TV series with her last year. What do you think of her? Is she easy to get along with?" Gu Wei asked Zhang Yishan again.

"That's strange. You and her were classmates in college. Do you still need to ask me this question?"

"When we were in school, we basically didn't communicate much. She was a famous Mou girl at that time, and she rarely came to class.

After I started filming in my sophomore year, I had limited time to go back to school. Except for the final exams, we didn't see each other on weekdays, and there was no friendship at all." Gu Wei shrugged.

Zhang Yishan lowered his head and thought about it after listening to Gu Wei's words.

"Zhou Dongyu is a good actor. After all, she debuted as a Golden Horse Award winner. When she was filming on the crew, she was still very focused and dedicated."

"But what?" Gu Wei knew that Zhang Yishan's words would definitely lead to a twist.

"Hehe. But I don't know if she is straightforward or just willful. Sometimes she does things that make people speechless.

She is very impatient with people around her, and often follows her own temper.

Especially for some actors and crew members who are not as high-ranking as her, her attitude is not good, and she often bosses them around.

To be honest, when filming "The Best of Us", many people in the crew didn't have a good impression of her, but the director and producer liked her very much."

"Flattering the superiors and bullying the inferiors." Gu Wei was thoughtful.

When he was in school, he only thought that Zhou Dongyu was aloof. At that time, he was just an unknown junior, and the other party was already a big star, so he didn't think much of it.

When he became famous, the two met again, and Zhou Dongyu was already very enthusiastic about him.

But after all, they had never worked together, and he was not interested in the little yellow duck, so he didn't have a very specific feeling.

"What if there is another play that asks you to work with her?" Gu Wei asked.

"Well, in principle, I'm not willing to film with her, but I still have to look at the script and the pay.

If it's a good movie, we can't miss it, right? Besides, who can't get along with money? Just bear with it for work." Zhang Yishan said with a smile, but he was telling the truth.

He didn't hide anything when chatting with Gu Wei, and said whatever he thought.

Gu Wei nodded.

"You're right, no matter how willful she is, she can't be willful in front of me, it's all for work."

After chatting for a while, Zhang Yishan and Peng Yuchang left Gu Wei, and the recording of the May Fourth Youth Gala was about to begin.

The hosts of today's gala were Ren Luyu, Li Sisi, Nigmat and others from CCTV. The first program was [I Have an Appointment with 2035] sung by Hu Xianxu and two other little stars.

The three of them sang, and there were also student teams from Harbin Institute of Technology, Beihang University, and Beijing Sport University performing robots, unmanned vehicles, and holographic screens.

The format of today's evening party is basically young stars singing, and student teams from different universities across the country bring their own performances. After all, it is a youth evening party, and the power of youth should be highlighted, and college students are the best representatives of youth.

There are more than 20 programs in the whole evening party. Zhang Yishan and Zhou Dongyu appeared 8th and sang the theme song "If I Love You" of "Spring Breeze Ten Miles Is Not as Good as You".

Zhang Yixing was the 10th to perform, and sang the song "Red Flag Flying" with the cooperation of four Youth Olympic champions Wu Dajing, Sun Yujie, Wu Jingyu, and Xiang Yanmei.

Ma Sichun also sang a song solo. She appeared 15th and performed the song "You Once".

In addition to various performances, the May 4th Gala also had an award ceremony. Gu Wei, Zhang Yishan, Ma Sichun and others went on stage to receive the title of "Flowers of May" Outstanding Young Actor.

Li Jiaheng's program was the third to last. He sang the song "The Distance of Time" solo.

He also knew that Gu Wei was attending today's gala, but in his opinion, it had nothing to do with him.

Li Jiaheng also saw what happened backstage before. He didn't care about what other people did. Anyway, after Gu Wei arrived, he stayed in his dressing room and didn't come out, playing the main role of ignoring.

However, when he left the stage and saw Gu Wei on stage, the two walked opposite each other, and Li Jiaheng still grinned at Gu Wei, as a greeting.

Originally, the two had no grudges, and there was some competition at the beginning. Judging from the current situation, the competition no longer exists, so they have to save face.

Gu Wei, who was waiting in the backstage, was quite surprised to see Li Jiaheng smile at him, but nodded out of politeness.

For today's party, Gu Wei originally prepared two songs, one is [May 4th Special Edition Dislocated Time and Space], and the other is [Youth].

At first, he planned to sing [Youth], because no matter from the lyrics or melody, [Youth] is more in line with the theme of the party, absolutely positive energy.

Later, after hesitating again and again, he decided to sing [May 4th Special Edition Dislocated Time and Space].

After all, it is a Youth Day party, and he is a little bit behind singing [Youth], and [May 4th Special Edition Dislocated Time and Space] is deeper in artistic conception and more touching.

Soon Gu Wei's program was over, and the last program was a chorus of college students from many schools [The Starting Point of Happiness].

In the monitoring room of the studio, Zou Wei, the chief director of the May 4th Youth Gala, looked at the performances of various stars under the camera and was very satisfied.

Especially for Gu Wei's finale program, he was confident that when it was broadcast on the evening of May 4, this year's May 4th Youth Gala would definitely get a much better result than previous years.

After the party, Gu Wei invited a few good friends to have a small gathering, and took a flight back to Yunnan the next morning.

"Boss, there is news from [Zhen Le Dao] that the post-production of [Super Time and Space Cohabitation] has been completed. It is currently scheduled to be released on June 15, before the summer vacation." On the way back, agent Yang Dan said to Gu Wei.

"So fast!" Gu Wei was a little surprised. After all, [Super Time and Space Cohabitation] was only completed in March, and it is now May. It is very fast to complete the post-production in just two months for a movie.

In the past, the movies that Gu Wei participated in took at least one year from shooting to release. Now it has only been half a year. Xu Zheng's efficiency is really high.

The post-production of [The Wandering Earth] that Gu Wei shot last year has not been completed yet, and he has already found several special effects companies to rush the work together.

A few days ago, he talked to Guo Fan on the phone, and the other party told him that it would take at least the second half of the year for the film to be released.

However, these two movies cannot be compared. [The Wandering Earth] is a science fiction film, and a lot of time and money are needed to make special effects in the later stage. [Time Travelers] is just an urban love film with a fantasy coat, and the later editing is much easier.

"Director Xu means that the main creators of the crew will start to run some publicity activities at the latest in the middle of this month"

"What about Liu Yifei, have you contacted her?"

"The crew has contacted her. [Mulan] will officially start shooting in August in the second half of the year. Miss Liu is currently in the early training, and she will be able to find time to rush back before the movie is released."

Gu Wei nodded and took out his mobile phone to take a look.

"[Zhen Le Dao] chose the three-day Dragon Boat Festival schedule. There are no popular movies released before and after, which is a good time period.

[Dying to Survive] will be released on July 5th, 20 days apart, but it doesn't have much impact.

And when [Time Travel Cohabitation] becomes a big hit, it's a good opportunity to promote [Dying to Survive], so neither will be delayed."

At that time, in order to make [Dying to Survive] more popular when it was released, Gu Wei played the role of the male protagonist's brother-in-law in order to use his fame to increase the popularity of the movie.
