Huayu is free to do as you like

[John Wick 4] has quite a lot of scenes in France, and many of the scenes in the whole movie were shot here.

For example, in front of the Arc de Triomphe in the Place Charles de Gaulle, the Château de Chantilly, the Opera Garnier, and the Sacre Coeur, the final duel in the movie.

The crew will shoot here for about a month, then move to Berlin and Japan, and finally fly back to New Jersey, USA to finish all the shooting.

When Gu Wei came from China, it was already mid-January. He came to Paris and filmed for two weeks before it was New Year's Eve.

Foreigners definitely don't have the concept of Chinese New Year, so all the shooting of the crew went on as usual, with no difference from usual.

After returning to the hotel after filming in the daytime, Gu Wei's phone was always busy.

First, he made a video call with the company and talked about work for a while, and then began to reply to the overwhelming New Year greetings.

There are business partners, and friends with good relationships inside and outside the circle.

Then there are some "friends" with whom he has a particularly good relationship.

Nazha and Liu Yifei spent the New Year with their families. When they were free, they sent a few WeChat messages to ask about his current situation.

Reba and Zhang Tianai were both filming in the crew of "The Wandering Earth 2". They only had half a day off during the New Year. They called him via video and chatted with him for a few words.

Looking at the environment on the other side of the camera, both of them were in the hotel, but they said that the crew would arrange a New Year's Eve dinner later, and Guo Fan organized everyone to have fun together.

Of course, there were other people. Everyone basically sent WeChat messages, and Gu Wei patiently replied one by one.

This situation is the norm during every New Year, and he is used to it. It is a happy trouble.

". It's pretty good here, don't worry.

Foreigners certainly don't celebrate the New Year, but Chinatown in Paris is very lively.

I haven't eaten yet, I'll go out to eat later.

Take care of my uncle and aunt and my uncle and aunt."

Gu Wei was on a video call with his parents at home, and the doorbell of the room rang.

He walked to the door with his mobile phone and opened it.

Yang Chaoyue was standing outside in a beautiful dress, and she smiled sweetly when she saw Gu Wei opening the door.

"Boss, Happy New Year!"

Gu Wei nodded to Yang Chaoyue, waved to her to come in, his eyes still on the phone screen.

"Mom, I have a colleague here, I won't talk to you for now."

"Who is this girl?"

Mother Gu on the other end of the phone also saw Yang Chaoyue.

"I told her that she is a colleague of the company, and she is filming with me in France.

You don't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, so you shouldn't know her."

After explaining to his mother, Gu Wei hung up the video call.

"Boss, did I disturb you from chatting with your family?"

After entering the room, Yang Chaoyue asked hesitantly when he saw the call was over.

Gu Wei clicked on the phone twice again, and said indifferently: "It's okay, I have been chatting with my parents for a while, and I would have hung up even if you didn't come."

After that, he put down the phone and looked at Yang Chaoyue.

The girl looked obviously dressed up. She wore a double-faced wool coat with a spliced ​​plaid pattern on her upper body, a sweatshirt of the same style inside, dark blue tight jeans on her lower body, and a pair of brown Martin boots on her feet.

Her hair was tied up with a purple lace wide headband, and her collagen-filled face was painted with delicate makeup.

Her makeup and outfit gave her the vibe of a heroine in a Korean drama.

"Boss, what shall we eat later?"

Noticing Gu Wei's scrutiny of her, Yang Chaoyue secretly rejoiced in her heart, not letting down her careful preparations before coming.

"I have booked a Michelin restaurant on the banks of the Seine.

Are you used to French food?"

"No problem, I can eat anything"

Gu Wei nodded.

This time when she went abroad to film, Xiao Chaoyue was the only one around, and Gu Wei had to call her along on New Year's Day.

After chatting for a few more words, the two set off from the hotel and quickly arrived at the booked restaurant in the car.

"Wow, the scenery here is so beautiful!"

Following the waiter's instructions, the two sat down at the reserved seat, and Yang Chaoyue exclaimed as he looked at the colorful scenery on both sides of the Seine outside the window.

"Boss, look over there is Notre Dame de Paris. I was there a few days ago~"

Yang Chaoyue didn't have many scenes in the crew. When she was free, she would visit the more famous places in Paris. It was really like traveling here.

She had been to iconic attractions such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and Notre Dame de Paris.

"The scenery is definitely good, otherwise I wouldn't be here.

There will be plenty of time for you to enjoy the scenery later. Let's order first~"

Gu Wei said without looking up while holding the restaurant menu.

"Oh~"

Yang Chaoyue agreed and picked up the menu at hand.

After taking a look, she looked up a little embarrassedly: "Boss, I don't understand, please help me order."

Gu Wei nodded and communicated with the waiter next to him in French to order some dishes.

"Sir, would you like some wine to go with your meal?"

Gu Wei glanced at Yang Chaoyue, who looked confused across from him: "Any wine suitable for ladies?"

"We have white wine from Chateau Mouton Rothschild, which has a sweet taste and distinct layers, and is very popular with female customers."

"Okay, let's have this!"

The male waiter left, and Yang Chaoyue blinked his big eyes.

"What did you order?"

Gu Wei explained: "Lamb chops and salmon, pan-fried foie gras, caviar, truffles, bacon and chestnut soup are all his signature dishes.

Oh, by the way, I also ordered you a dessert: chocolate ganache with chocolate ice cream."

"Thank you boss, I like ice cream the most!"

Not long after, the dishes for both of them were served, and Gu Wei and Yang Chaoyue began to eat.

"Happy New Year!"

Before starting to eat, Gu Xianwei raised the wine glass in his hand!

"Happy New Year!"

The two touched each other and took a sip.

“It tastes good~”

After drinking the wine, Yang Chaoyue started to move, tasting each dish and praising it.

"His family has three Michelin stars, and the chef has a high reputation in the chef world. It's normal for the food to taste good."

After eating for a while, Yang Chaoyue asked curiously: "How much does our meal cost?"

Gu Wei did some calculations in his mind: "About two thousand~"

"This location has three Michelin stars and only costs over 2,000 yuan, which is quite cheap."

"EUR."

"ah?"

With a cry of surprise, Yang Chaoyue lowered his head and glanced at the dishes on the table.

"Fifteen thousand for such a small thing, it's too expensive!"

Gu Wei took a bite of foie gras, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

“This bottle of white wine costs almost a thousand euros.

It’s a relatively high-end traditional French restaurant in Paris, and the price is normal.”

After knowing the price, Yang Chaoyue seemed to have emotions about the mutton chops in front of him. He cut it with a knife and fork and chewed it vigorously.

“It’s too expensive, I would definitely not be able to bear to eat it if I were here.

I originally thought it tasted pretty good, but at this price, it felt just average.””

Gu Wei was a little funny: "You are a big star now, why do you still care about this little money?"

“Although I have made some money as an artist in the past two years, what should I do if I stop making money?

Therefore, you should not be too extravagant in daily life. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. You have to save money! "

"Hey! I didn't expect Chaoyue to know a lot, what he said makes sense!"

"Of course. Although I have low academic qualifications, I have experienced a lot. I have seen big scenes!" Yang Chaoyue raised his head slightly and said proudly.

A smile appeared on Gu Wei's face.

The two of them chatted while eating, admiring the beautiful night view of the Seine River from time to time. Soon they drank half a bottle of white wine and all the food on the table was gone.

"So full!"

After finishing the last piece of meat on his plate, Yang Chaoyue patted his slightly bulging belly and said with satisfaction.

"There are dumplings in his menu. Today is New Year's Eve. Do you want some?"

Gu Wei asked as he wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin.

"I really can't eat anymore"

"Okay, now that you've eaten, let's go.

Today is New Year's Eve. Chinatown will be very lively. Do we want to go and have a look? "

Yang Chaoyue thought for a while and shook his head.

"It feels quite cold outside. I want to go back to the hotel to watch the Spring Festival Gala."

Gu Wei smiled and said: "You are quite young, but your living habits are very old-fashioned."

"It's like this every year~" Yang Chaoyue muttered softly.

After leaving the restaurant, the two returned to the hotel.

Yang Chaoyue did not go back to his room, but followed Gu Wei to his room to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

On the sofa in the living room, Yang Chaoyue, who had taken off his coat, hugged Gu Wei's arm naturally and watched the Spring Festival Gala on the TV opposite.

“This year’s program was pretty good.

The opening songs by Deng Chao, Li Yuchun, and Yi Yang Qianxi are quite funny.

Brother Chao was dressed in red and jumped around like a monkey. He almost missed the mark a few times. He was originally asked to sing and turned into a comedy show." Gu Wei said while watching the TV.

Yang Chaoyue nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, I also think Deng Chao is funny.

The sketch by Shen Teng and Ma Li later was also good.

And the dance they performed after that seemed to be called "Only This Green", and it was so beautiful! "

After watching two more programs, Yang Chaoyue turned to look at Gu Wei.

"Do you still remember the last time we spent the Spring Festival together?"

"I have some impression, it seems to be when you first became my assistant.

I remember that I had a program at the Spring Festival Gala that year." Gu Wei thought for a while and said.

"Yes, this is my first year as your assistant.

You go home after performing on CCTV, and then ask me to have New Year’s Eve dinner with you.

Do you know what I was thinking at that time? "

"What do you think?" Gu Wei asked curiously.

"Originally, I was prepared to go back to the dormitory to cook instant noodles alone that day, but you asked me to stop us to have New Year's Eve dinner together, and then we watched the Spring Festival Gala like we do now. I couldn't be more moved.

I thought at that time that I was so lucky to have such a handsome, gentle and considerate boss, I would do anything he asked me to do! "

"It's not as exaggerated as you said.

I was alone at that time, so I just asked you to stay and be a companion, otherwise it would be boring to be alone." Gu Wei touched her head in a funny way.

“But I was really touched.

To be honest, boss, you are the best person I have ever met in my more than 20 years of life.

No matter in terms of appearance, personality or treatment of people, there is almost no problem at all. "

"I'm a little embarrassed by what you said."

"Really, in the past two years that I have been your assistant, I have seen that you are very kind to the people around you, and everyone appreciates your kindness."

Speaking of this, Yang Chaoyue secretly added in his heart: 'It's just that the luck of love is a little too strong, otherwise it would be perfect! ’

In Yang Chaoyue's heart, there is a filter for her boss Gu Wei.

She has always believed that she, a little girl from the village, has become a big star now because of her boss.

The first turning point in her life was an interview for [Wei Ming Tian Xia] to be Gu Wei's life assistant.

This allowed her to enter a whole new world, see a wider world, and the salary was also very generous.

The second turning point was that the boss suggested that she become an artist, and then pushed her to the talent show [Produce 101].

This time, she really transformed from an ordinary girl into a female star popular with many fans.

To put it seriously, Gu Wei was a rebirth for her.

After the Spring Festival Gala programs were performed one after another, Yang Chaoyue yawned while watching TV. .

"No, I may not last until 12 o'clock today, and I can't stay up until the New Year."

"It's better to rest early, the crew will still shoot normally tomorrow~" Gu Wei also nodded.

Yang Chaoyue put her arms around Gu Wei's neck and said coquettishly: "I'm so sleepy, hold me to sleep~"

Gu Wei had no choice but to get up and carry her into the bedroom.

After putting her on the big bed, Yang Chaoyue's arms did not loosen, but pulled down hard, and raised her head to kiss Gu Wei.

The two kissed for a while and separated from each other.

"Didn't you say you were sleepy and wanted to go to bed?"

"I don't need to shoot tomorrow, I can get up as late as possible." Yang Chaoyue panted slightly, with a wave of waves in his eyes, and answered irrelevant questions.

Gu Wei smiled and shook his head, looking at the sweet and lovely Xiao Chaoyue under him, and leaned down again.

The reputation of the 2022 Spring Festival Gala is average, with occasional highlights but overall it did not bring any surprises to the audience.

After New Year's Eve, it officially entered the most important period of the year-the Spring Festival period.

On the first day of the first day of the first lunar month, the movie [Watergate Bridge of Changjin Lake] won the national box office champion of the day with its super high scheduling and popularity.

The first-day box office was 740 million, leading the entire Spring Festival period.

[Yang Jian: The Legend of the Condor Heroes] followed closely behind with the popularity of [Nezha], with a first-day box office of 380 million.

[Four Seas] and [Leon: The Professional] ranked third and fourth, with box office of 260 million and 240 million respectively.

The fifth is [Boonie Bears: Return to Earth] with 150 million, and [Sniper] directed by Zhang Yimou ranked sixth with only 60 million on the first day.

The box office performance of all the movies released during the Spring Festival on the first day has a lot to do with the previous publicity.

For example, [Watergate Bridge] had an exaggerated box office of more than 700 million in a single day because of the huge sales of [Changjin Lake].

[Yang Jian] was due to Yu Ze of [Nezha].

[Four Seas] relied on the appeal of Han Han and Shen Teng.

[Leon: The Professional] was due to the early publicity of Happy Twist.

However, after the first day, the reputation of all the released movies could not be concealed.

Because there are too many people watching movies during the Spring Festival, the publicity and promotion of movies can control the reviews for one or two days, but during the Spring Festival, the reputation of the movie will definitely ferment after one day of release.

The box office trend of a movie in the few days after the first day of the New Year is the true reflection of the quality of a movie. (End of this chapter)
