The plot of "Go Where the Wind Is" is very simple.
The heroine Xu Hongdou's life and work fell into a trough due to the death of her best friend.
She traveled to Dali alone and stayed briefly in the "Wind Courtyard" in Yunmiao Village. She unexpectedly met Xie Zhiyao, who had returned to his hometown to start a business, and a group of tenants with different identities.
In the process of getting acquainted with each other, Xu Hongdou and Xie Zhiyao fell in love with each other. After facing some things together, the two helped and inspired each other, and finally came together.
It seems to be no different from ordinary idol dramas, but at the script level, the characteristics of "Go Where the Wind Is" are extremely distinct.
This drama is a healing TV drama that depicts pastoral life. It is different from traditional modern urban dramas and focuses on the word "slow".
The pressure on young people in modern cities is very high. Whether it is work or life, everyone is carrying a heavy burden and is "stuck" no matter where they are.
The biggest feature of "Go to the Windy Place" is its anti-"involution". Through the depiction of the beautiful scenery and rural life in "Windy Courtyard", Yunmiao Village and other places, it allows the tired souls of urbanites to relax in the pastoral style. Get complete relaxation in your life.
There are not many TV series of this type in China. Good scripts, excellent production by [Kan Xinqing Studio] and wonderful performances by actors are the fundamental reasons why [Go Where the Wind Is] is so popular.
After the show "Original Time and Space" was released, the score on Douban was above 8 points. Since then, with the broadcast of the TV series and the increase in the number of people rating it, the score has been growing.
One year after the TV series was aired, Douban's rating increased from 8.1 to 8.7. This long-tail effect best reflects the quality of a TV series.
In addition, [Go Where the Wind Is] has also made tourism in Yunnan popular.
This drama showcases the local natural scenery and cultural customs of Yunnan, attracting a large number of tourists to experience it.
During the broadcast of the drama, topics such as "Let's travel to Yunnan together during the Spring Festival this year" and "I always want to go to a windy place" became hot searches on the Internet, which greatly increased Yunnan's tourism attention.
Data shows that during the Spring Festival after "Go Where the Wind Is" was broadcast, the number of tourists Dali received increased by 219% year-on-year, and the total tourism revenue increased by 162% year-on-year, reaching a record high.
To this end, Dali officials specially sent a thank-you letter to the crew of "Where the Wind Goes", and also issued an announcement that they plan to provide a subsidy of 2 million yuan to the TV series "Where the Wind Goes" with major film and television themes.
A TV series has such a big impact on the economy of a place and people's real life. The achievements of "Where the Wind Winds" are irrefutable.
Gu Wei devoted himself to formal filming the day after he joined the team. The first scene was to shoot the unexpected meeting between Xie Zhiyao and Xu Hongdou.
"The screen is broken like this, and I can't turn it on. Should I replace it with a different screen and repair it, or should I buy you a new one?"
"Change the screen and repair it. The things inside are quite important.
If it doesn't work, just give me half of the money.
After all, it has been used for more than a year.”
In the quaint courtyard, Liu Yifei was wearing a green windbreaker, with light makeup on her face, and her temperament was lazy and free.
Opposite her, Gu Wei wore a brown shirt and dark trousers. His makeup and deliberate performance made him look like a simple young man from a small town.
Xie Zhiyao's brother accidentally crashed Xu Hongdou's cell phone while chasing a horse.
Xu Hongdou, who had just arrived at "Youfeng Xiaoyuan", came to the door through Xie Xiaochun's introduction.
This is also the first time the male and female protagonists in the play meet.
“There is no mobile phone repairman in the village, so we can only go to the ancient city to repair it.
How many days will you stay here? ”
"I'm staying for a while.
I was hit by him just after I arrived the day before yesterday.”
"Who brought you here?"
"Xie Xiaochun~"
"Xiaochun, do you live in Youfeng Xiaoyuan?
My name is Xie Zhiyao, how should I be called? ”
"Xu Hongdou"
This scene is very simple. In addition to the two of them, Grandma and Xie Zhiyuan's younger brother Xie Zhiyuan are also involved.
There are two scenes in total, the conversation between Gu Wei and Liu Yifei in the yard; and inside the house, Grandma and brother Xie Zhiyao chatting while eating.
After the last scene was shot, the crew packed up their equipment and prepared for the transition, and the actors also stood up.
"Teacher Wu, please slow down, there is a hurdle at the door, don't worry"
Teacher Wu Yanshu, who played Granny, stood up and was about to walk out. Seeing this, Gu Wei hurried over to support her and warned her.
Teacher Wu is 84 years old this year and is a true "old" actor.
She looks like a kind old lady. Although she is very old, she is in good spirits and is not confused at all.
Gu Wei and Teacher Wu knew each other before filming this movie. She played Jiang Nansun's grandmother in "Golden Years". Gu Wei met her when she visited Ni Ni's class.
"It's okay, don't worry about me.
Xiao Gu, go and get busy, there is still a drama for you later.
I’ll go outside for a walk”
After leaving the door, Wu Yanshu smiled and said to Gu Wei, who also let go of his hand.
"Teacher Wu, please slow down."
Gu Wei did not move forward. The old lady strolled forward slowly and raised her hand to indicate that she knew.
"Grandma Wu's spirit is so good. It would be great if I could be in her state when I am over 80 years old."
Liu Yifei stood next to Gu Wei, looked at Teacher Wu Yanshu's back and said.
"Yes, if you exercise more and take good care of yourself, actors generally have a long artistic life."
After Gu Wei finished speaking, he turned to look at Liu Yifei beside him and suddenly smiled and said: "But I hope you can choose roles according to your age and condition, and don't play a girl at your age."
Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at him: "How is it possible? It's hard for me to play a girl again now.
Aren’t I just a working woman in our drama?”
"It's possible, Aunt Xiaoqing can still perform well despite her age. She and Teacher Wu are almost of the same generation"
"If there is such a thing, which drama?" Liu Yifei asked curiously.
Of course she knew Liu Xiaoqing's name. He was a figure who once made waves in domestic entertainment. Many female artists regarded her as their idol.
"In a war-themed online movie [Snow Sniper 2], I heard that the actor who plays Liu Xiaoqing's father is 18 years younger than her."
"Tsk, she must be over seventy this year. It's hard to imagine that kind of scene."
Speaking of filming "Go Where the Wind Is", this is the fourth time that Gu Wei and Liu Yifei have worked together.
Starting from "Xiuchundao" ten years ago, the two have collaborated on "Tang Detective 2" and "Cohabitation in Time and Space".
But they used to make movies, and "Where the Wind Is" is the first time the two of them have collaborated on a TV series.
They are extremely familiar with each other, and the filming is very smooth and they work together well.
In the first scene just now, both their expressions and lines were performed perfectly.
Even the director was surprised by the tacit understanding between the two.
"By the way, I remember your spy drama was broadcast today, right?"
Gu Wei nodded.
"[The Storm Chaser] premiered on CCTV 1 today, and was simulcast on the Internet by Tengxun and iQiyi.
Do you have anything to do tonight? Come to my room and watch a show together after the show? ”
Liu Yifei looked at Gu Wei and smiled and said: "Okay, your drama has been very popular recently. Many people say it is a good drama that is not inferior to [Human World]. I also want to see your first spy drama." How about."
Night, crew hotel.
There was a short night scene today, and it was already dark when the crew finished work.
Gu Wei took a shower after returning to the room after finishing the filming. It was still a bit hot in Dali in April, and he was sweating a lot after filming outside for a day.
After washing and changing into fresh clothes, the doorbell rang after a while. Gu Wei walked to the door and opened it.
Sure enough, Liu Yifei came outside the door as promised.
She also changed into cool clothes, wearing a white T-shirt, black shorts, and a pair of slippers.
It seemed that he had already washed up. There was no makeup on his fair face. His hair was tied up high. A pair of plump and slender white legs were exposed under his shorts. He was holding a plate of fruit in his hand. He was in a casual and lazy state.
"Just come, I'm sorry to bring you something"
Gu Wei let her in and said with a smile.
"Who brought it to you? I can eat it myself.
I didn’t eat anything tonight, so this plate of fruit is my dinner.”
The two walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down. Liu Yifei crossed her legs and displayed her round white legs in front of Gu Wei. She held the fruit plate in her hand and took a piece of it to her mouth.
Gu Wei sat next to her and turned on the TV to center 1.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Then he looked at the white lumps with toothpicks stuck in the fruit plate and asked curiously: "What kind of fruit did you eat?"
Liu Yifei didn't answer, but picked up a piece and fed it to Gu Wei.
"Ah~"
Gu Wei opened his mouth obediently.
"It's so sweet, it's sugar apple"
Liu Yifei nodded: "Yes, it is the local sugar apple.
The food I used to eat was shipped raw. Even though it was cooked when I ate it, the taste was always a little different.
The sugar apples picked after they are ripe when eaten in the place of origin are indeed different. They are much sweeter than those eaten in the capital! ”
"This thing is known as the "sweet bomb" among fruits, with super high sugar content.
You might as well eat it as a serious dinner. This small plate probably contains more calories than what you eat in a day! ”
Seeing Liu Yifei enjoying the food, Gu Wei couldn't bear to tell her the truth.
Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Liu Yifei frowned slightly and looked a little embarrassed at the remaining sugar apples in the fruit plate.
After hesitating for a moment, she turned to look at Gu Wei, who seemed to have thought of something. A smile appeared on her face again, and she picked up another piece and put it in her mouth.
“Forget it, I’ve eaten everything, and I don’t eat it every day.
Just exercise more and exercise more, it doesn’t matter.”
Gu Wei thought for a moment before he realized the logic in her words, and he said with amusement, "Emotions have become the other person's tool for exercise and weight loss"
The two chatted for a while, and "Storm Chaser" started playing on the TV opposite.
"My name is Wei Ruolai. I am from Jiangxi. My family was poor when I was young. I came to Shanghai with my elder brother to make a living. I worked while studying in an accounting school.
In order to have a full meal, I have to take risks occasionally and check the accounts for my fellow gang members."
As the narration in Gu Wei's voice sounded, the plot of "Storm Chaser" on TV slowly unfolded.
At the beginning of the first episode, Wei Ruolai, played by Gu Wei, appeared. Liu Yifei laughed at his silly appearance and asked him about some things during the filming.
But as the plot slowly unfolded, she spoke less and less, and she was completely immersed in the story told by [Storm Chaser].
Two episodes of one and a half hours passed by in a flash. The last scene of the second episode was Shen Tunan, played by Jin Dong, questioning Wei Ruolai.
".You are suspected of stealing government secrets. Should you surrender yourself to the detective team or should I escort you out?"
After Jin Dong finished speaking, the scene went dark and the ending song started to play.
"It's really good." Liu Yifei blinked and got away from the TV series just now.
"What's good? Am I a particularly good actor?" Gu Wei asked with a smile.
Liu Yifei turned her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth: "It's not bad, Teacher Jin Dong's acting is really good.
His Shen Tunan is particularly aura”
"This kind of middle-aged elite man who controls wealth and power is his comfort zone. It would be strange if he doesn't play well.
Don't you think Jin Dong's Shen Tunan is very similar to his Ming Lou in "The Pretender"? ”
"It's almost the same as you said"
"He has played too many similar roles in recent years, and his performances have become routine.
I also discussed it with him when we were filming, and he also tried some changes later, which should be visible later."
Gu Wei didn't know if Jin Dong still wanted to further develop his acting skills. After all, he had already become a leader, so it seemed that his performance was not that important.
"It's already pretty good. At least I watched these two episodes, and the acting skills of all the characters including Teacher Jin Dong were outstanding.
The heroine also performed very well, she is a pretty actress"
"The person who plays Shen Jin is really called Wang Churan, a new actor."
"I know, she played the role of the courtesan Sang Wen in [Qing Yu Nian 2].
When [Qing Yu Nian 2] was on the air, there were a lot of news mentioning her.”
Gu Wei smiled and said: "It's just a draft that her company bought for her. She finally acted in such a big production as [Qing Yu Nian], so of course she has to take the opportunity to promote it.
But after all, she was a minor supporting role in that drama, so it would be good if she could gain some popularity.
Now, Wang Churan is the heroine of this movie [The Storm Chaser], and she will most likely become famous for a while after it is finished.”
"Is she an artist under your company?"
Gu Wei shook his head: "From Yuekai Entertainment"
"That's weird. I remember that [Storm Chaser] is a drama produced by [Wei Tianxia].
Isn't it your usual style to ignore your own female stars and use an outsider as the heroine? ”
Liu Yifei looked at Gu Wei and raised her eyebrows, the meaning in her eyes was self-evident.
"Ahem, I don't have a consistent style. I choose actors who are suitable for filming.
When casting for "Storm Chaser", it was also a director audition.
Because of Jia Shikai's relationship, I gave her a chance to audition, and she took it, and she became the heroine of my drama.
It's that simple." Gu Wei spread his hands and explained.
Liu Yifei crossed her arms and nodded slowly, not sure if she believed Gu Wei's words.
"Actually, you and Wang Churan once had the opportunity to meet.
I was filming "The Storm Chaser" in Hengdian before. You came to visit me. I called her when we were going out for dinner, but she didn't come."
Gu Wei said this and Liu Yifei remembered this. At that time, she also brought Lin Yun from the "Meng Hua Lu" crew.
"I remember that you brought Xiao Tian with you. Did Wang Churan have anything going on that day?"
Gu Wei smiled and shook his head: "She is embarrassed, afraid of being embarrassed when she sees you"
"Seeing me embarrassed?
We don’t know each other, why should we be embarrassed? "Liu Yifei asked strangely.
"When her company first promoted her through drafts, they used the nickname "Xiao Liu Yifei" because she has a good appearance and her facial features and temperament are somewhat similar to yours. This name is indeed recognized by many netizens"< br>
It turns out that she was "Little Liu Yifei" when she was not famous. Based on Gu Wei's understanding of Jia Shikai, once Wang Churan becomes popular after "The Storm Chaser" is aired, "Little Liu Yifei" will probably become "the high-end version of Liu Yifei".
"Well, I don't think this is a big deal.
Over the years, all kinds of "Little Liu Yifei" have emerged one after another, and I am used to it." (End of Chapter)
