The evening live broadcast went very smoothly. In addition to Gu Wei and Wang Churan, the main actors in the drama such as Jin Dong, Tian Xiwei, Zhang Tianyang, and Gao Lu also appeared one after another.
That day happened to catch up with the plot of "Storm Chaser" reaching a small climax. With the popularity of the connection between the main creators, the TV series's ratings reached a new high.
In terms of online platforms, the popularity of "The Storm Chaser" on Tengxun that night exceeded 32,000, second only to last year's hit "Qing Yu Nian 2", becoming the second most popular drama after Tengxun's revision.
The popularity of iQiyi has also increased by one section, surpassing "The World" which was exclusively broadcast on the platform last month.
The next day, [went to the crew in a windy place].
"I watched your live broadcast last night, and you were right."
While putting on makeup before filming started, Liu Yifei chatted with Gu Wei who was standing aside.
"I talked a lot yesterday, what are you talking about?"
“When we were talking about the theme of [Storm Chaser], you mentioned how dark and corrupt the Kuomintang was at that time, and analyzed the inevitability of our party’s victory from a financial perspective.”
Gu Wei nodded slightly.
"I tell the truth.
Before filming "Storm Chaser", the crew conducted detailed research on the history of this period.
The level of corruption in the National Government at that time can be said to be shocking. Everyone was focused on making money and basically did not do anything serious.
The people at the bottom are like meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.
The society is in chaos and the people are in dire straits.”
Liu Yifei thought for a while and asked.
"The first drama I filmed when I debuted was [Golden Pink Family], which was a drama of the Republic of China.
Over the years, I have also read some novels and TV series set in that era.
I always feel that the Republic of China has been beautifully depicted in many works, and many people still yearn for that era."
"Haha~"
Gu Wei smiled disdainfully.
"If I could go back to the Republic of China and become the son or daughter of a senior official of the National Government and a big capitalist, then it would be really good to go back to that era.
The current situation at that time was that the upper-class people's bottomless plundering had made the entire society extremely polarized.
The so-called upper class society is full of feasting, luxury, and drunkenness, while the people at the bottom live a difficult and precarious life, worrying about survival all their lives.
Just like what I said during the live broadcast last night.
The victory of our party does not come from winning a few battles on the frontal battlefield, but before that, the Kuomintang has lost the people's hearts due to its own corruption"
The two chatted about this topic for a while, and then started today's shooting.
In the morning, the crew filmed several sets of scenes with the male and female protagonists and other supporting characters in the Youfeng courtyard. In the afternoon, everyone moved to the "horse farm" to shoot scenes with only Gu Wei and Liu Yifei.
In the TV series, Xie Zhiyao's racecourse is located outside the village. It seems not far away. The heroine walks there many times to find the hero.
The actual racecourse where the crew filmed is located in the Haiping area of Tiandeng Village, Yunlong County, about 200 kilometers away from the ancient city.
It is quite a distance away from Fengyang Village where "Youfeng Xiaoyuan" is located.
An open alpine meadow, lakes, pine forests, and herds of cattle and sheep seem to be a paradise left in the world.
"Master, I want to ask for directions"
Xu Hongdou, who was out for a walk, walked outside the fence of the racecourse and asked the figure inside who was feeding the horses for directions.
The figure turned his head, it was Xie Zhiyao whom he had met before in the village.
"Why are you here?"
“Just wander around~
Well, we meet again”
Xu Hongdou smiled and said some pleasantries.
“This place is not big and easy to meet.
Are you going back to the courtyard? ”
"Hmm~"
Xie Zhiyao raised his hand and pointed into the distance: "Follow this road to the seaside, and then keep walking along the seaside road and you will see the intersection by the seaside."
"Okay, thank you!"
Xu Hongdou thanked him with a smile and turned to leave.
Before he could take two steps, he stumbled onto a pile of cow dung.
"Click!
Yifei, don’t move, adjust the camera to face Gu Wei, and continue shooting”
The director's voice came, and the photographer quickly moved the machine.
This is the scene where the male and female protagonists meet for the first time at the racecourse.
Xu Hongdou stepped on cow dung and had to ride Xie Zhiyao's horse back to the village.
The filming of this scene was soon finished, everyone took a break, and Gu Wei and Liu Yifei went to change clothes and start filming the next scene.
Many people think that the crew shoots the movie from beginning to end in the order in which the story takes place. In fact, this is not possible for most crews.
In order to save costs, the crew usually shoots scenes that take place in one scene.
Just like today at the racecourse, we first filmed the scene where Xu Hongdou stepped on cow dung, and then filmed some scenes of the two people at the racecourse, including the scene where Xie Zhiyao took Xu Hongdou to watch the foal being born.
The afternoon passed before I knew it.
Night falls.
In the stable, Xie Zhiyao was carrying fodder while chatting with Xu Hongdou, who was sitting on the haystack opposite him.
"When I was in junior high school, wasn't my sister taking the college entrance examination?
My dad said, you can get admitted to Fudan University.
Then my sister started laughing wildly. ”
When Xu Hongdou said this, she pointed at herself: "She said that I can take the "Hatching University" exam!"
"Your sister is pretty good at hiding things." Xie Zhiyao was also amused.
"For me, every step of my growth path is a hole dug for me by my sister"
"Click! Passed.
That’s it for today, everyone is packing up and getting ready to go back! ”
The director finished speaking with a loudspeaker and walked up to Gu Wei and Liu Yifei.
"Teachers, thank you for your hard work today!"
"It's okay, it's all for filming, and it's not too late~" Gu Wei waved his hand and said.
Liu Yifei smiled at the director and said nothing.
"The car for the crew to go back to the ancient town is parked outside. We will take you two back first."
Gu Wei nodded: "I understand, Director Ding, just do your work, don't worry about us."
After the director left, he asked Liu Yifei: "Are you tired?"
"It's okay~"
"Today's play is a bit tight"
"I can understand that there are not many shots for this scene. If we can't finish shooting today, our entire crew will have to make another trip. Not to mention the trouble, the rental of the venue will also cost more.
But it’s a pity, the scenery here is so beautiful, I never have time to walk around during the day”
"This is not a problem. I will come with you when the filming is not busy."
"Really? It's settled!" Liu Yifei said with a smile.
"Are you hungry? I remember you didn't seem to eat much at night"
"If you're not hungry, eat less at night!"
As soon as Liu Yifei finished speaking, her stomach let out an embarrassing growl.
Her face suddenly became embarrassed.
"Uh~
Be a little hungry, it’s inevitable to be a little hungry if you want to stay in shape”
Gu Wei smiled and nodded: "I understand, it's all for filming.
That said, I'm a little hungry too.
Let's go back to town soon and have a barbecue together? ”
"Isn't it too fat to eat barbecue so late?"
Liu Yifei was already moved. The most terrible thing was that she was still hungry. Gu Wei's proposal was like a devil tempting her.
The hesitation on her lips was her last insistence.
Of course Gu Wei could see what she was thinking at this time and continued to add: "It's okay, you won't get fat just by eating meat.
Let's find a roadside stall, just like the barbecue scene we filmed two days ago, where we can eat some kebabs and drink some wine under the cool breeze and moonlight, and it will feel comfortable just thinking about it."
Liu Yifei swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Gu Wei's words completely brought out her greedy and drunken spirits.
Yes, Liu Yifei also likes to drink, but she rarely socializes and only drinks with friends. Sometimes I would pour some for myself when I was at home.
"It's a good idea, but isn't it convenient for us to eat at a roadside stall like this?
This is not filming either. ”
Gu Wei touched his chin: "I'll take care of the little things!"
After the two made an appointment, they took the crew's nanny car from the racecourse back to Dali's Xiaguan Town.
The car didn't go back to the hotel or go to any barbecue restaurant. It drove to a small courtyard with simple decoration.
Liu Yifei followed Gu Wei out of the car.
"Aren't you going to have a barbecue?"
"Here it is."
Pushing the door open and entering the courtyard, there is a layout similar to the "windy courtyard" in the drama.
The innermost is a two-story house. It looks like the decoration style of the ethnic minorities in Dali. It is very beautiful.
The courtyard is covered with bluestones and is clean and tidy. There is a big tree next to it and a hanging rocking chair placed under the tree.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
In front of the rocking chair is a round table and two chairs.
"How about it? This courtyard is quite beautiful, isn't it?"
"It looks a bit like the yard we used for filming."
“This is a B&B yard, I rented it.
We can eat and drink in the yard without worrying about being seen or disturbed.
There are bedrooms in the house opposite. You can just go there and rest after you have eaten and drank.”
"It's really good, but don't we want to have barbecue? How can we eat in a B&B and order takeout?"
Gu Wei raised his finger and pointed at a house on the side of the yard.
"This is the kitchen. I specially found a well-rated barbecue restaurant nearby and invited the barbecue chef over, bringing the ingredients of course.
Just like a restaurant, you can order whatever you want and the chef will bake it for you at any time”
"Tsk tsk, you've thought it through so carefully. Are you Tinker Bell?"
Gu Wei smiled.
It seems a bit luxurious to find a suitable B&B and a barbecue chef to serve you alone, but in fact it is just a matter of money.
But money is not a problem here.
After a while, the two of them sat down at the small table in the yard, and a variety of kebabs and grilled vegetables were served.
Of course, wine is indispensable.
Gu Wei opened a bottle of Wuliangye, poured the wine into a wine dispenser, and then filled it up for Liu Yifei and himself.
"Come on, do one first!"
Gu Wei picked up the wine glass.
"Why don't you drink first, you want to get me drunk?"
Liu Yifei said so and picked up her own small wine glass. The two of them touched it lightly, and then each drank it down.
The 10ml small wine cup is very compact. For those who drink frequently, it is not difficult to take one sip.
"Others don't know your drinking capacity, but I don't know it either. How can you get drunk so easily?
And even if you're drunk, just go inside and sleep, it doesn't matter! ”
Gu Wei picked up the wine dispenser and filled it up for the two of them.
Liu Yifei opposite picked up a skewer of mutton and started eating it.
“Although drinking is good, don’t be greedy.
There is a rehearsal tomorrow, so that’s business”
"Well, you're right~"
After Gu Wei poured the wine, he picked up a skewer and ate it.
The two of them said not to be greedy for drinks. After eating two skewers, they each picked up their wine glasses and took a sip.
The night is slightly cooler.
It's a nice day today, with no clouds in the sky and a disk-like bright moon hanging high in the night sky.
In the courtyard of the B&B, Gu Wei and Liu Yifei were enjoying themselves while eating skewers and drinking.
The two chatted about everything from life to ideals, from career to life, and then Jiu Jin talked about everything.
".When I was a child, my dream was to be a big star, an international superstar, and an Oscar-winning actress!"
After eating and drinking for a while, Liu Yifei's cheeks had already covered with two red clouds, and she looked like she had a different kind of charm.
"Except for the last one, you have achieved all the others"
Gu Wei took a mouthful of cold cucumber and put it in his mouth. With wine and meat, it is natural to go with the food.
Liu Yifei shook her hand: "How is it possible? I'm still far away!
But now my ideals have changed.”
"What did it become?"
"Now I just hope to be a good actor seriously and produce works that the audience likes. I don't expect anything else."
"This can be considered a return to nature to another degree."
"Gu Wei, what you say always sounds so nice and you are so good at coaxing people.
When we were filming [Xiu Chun Knife], I could tell right after we met”
Liu Yifei said with a smile, picked up the wine glass, and the two of them took a sip.
"To be honest, Sissi, did you blame Auntie for that incident?"
Liu Yifei raised her head slightly and paused for a few seconds.
“It’s impossible not to blame her at all.
After all, her decision caused me to suffer such a huge setback in my career and life.
Two years of rest.
But who makes her my mother?
Growing up under her care, I have become accustomed to listening to her in everything.
She also poured all her time and love into me.
During the time when I took a break, she was even more sad and self-blaming than me. How could I bear to blame her again?"
Gu Wei nodded.
“It’s really not easy for auntie.
It can be seen that everything she does is for your own good."
"Stop talking about me, talk about you?
What is your ideal? "Liu Yifei blinked her big moist eyes and looked at Gu Wei.
"Me?
I don’t seem to have any ideals.”
"How is it possible? Everyone has ideals.
What do you want? What do you want to be? ”
Gu Wei thought for a moment.
"My ideal may be to live a good life."
"Live a good life?"
"Yes, let my family and friends have a happy life.
Treat every day as your last, enjoy the moment and live happily! ”
"In line with your character, a typical hedonist.
I'm curious, Gu Wei, don't you have anything to worry about? ”
Liu Yifei tilted her head slightly.
"In my impression, even when you were a fledgling actor, you never worried about anything.
I remember that when you were filming "Tang Detective 1", you were ridiculed a lot, but you didn't seem to be affected. You were always so optimistic.
How did you do it? "
Liu Yifei envied Gu Wei very much, and his positive and energetic mental state was also what attracted her.
"I made a movie called [Life Events].
That movie taught a truth: There is nothing important in life except death.
Since we will not die now, then no matter what happens, it is nothing. What is there to be sad about? ”
"I understand the principles, but it's so difficult to do it!" (End of Chapter)
