Chapter 140 Endorsement
After chatting with Gu Wei for a few words, the group entered the shooting location. According to the director’s request, the first scene of [Nirvana in Fire] was about to begin.
[Nirvana in Fire] is a little different from the movies and TV series Gu Wei has made in the past.
This drama involves many scenes, from rivers and lakes to courts, from ancient cities to grasslands.
The crew needs to film in Hengdian Film and Television City, Xiangshan Film and Television City, Wuxi Water Margin City, the Prairie of Western Zhejiang, and Yandang Mountain.
The scene selection is very jumpy, which requires the actors to try their best to shoot all the shots in the same location. Sometimes they will not follow the timeline of plot development, and there will be jumps during filming, and the actors' interpretations It's more difficult to get up.
The first scene was in the Qin Palace, where both the male and female protagonists were present. The director chose a scene where "Mei Changsu" met "Princess Nihuang" for the first time after coming to Beijing.
"Mei Changsu" and "Princess Nihuang" entered the palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother.
The two of them knelt in front of the Queen Mother and paid homage to her.
When the Empress Dowager, who was too old to remember who was who, called "Mei Changsu" to her eyes, she actually called out the name of "Xiao Shu".
She called "Nihuang" to her again and asked when they would get married. Onlookers thought the Empress Dowager was confused.
"Mei Changsu" knelt in front of her with mixed emotions. The Queen Mother retorted to the Queen and said, weren't they engaged?
Hearing this, "Mei Changsu" was filled with excitement and grabbed "Nihuang"'s hand.
"Stuck!
Tang Yan, when Gu Wei grabs your hand, the camera cuts to your face. There should be some surprised reaction, but the expression should not be too big.< br>
Gu Wei had a good expression just now, do it again~"
Hearing this, Tang Yan looked at Gu Wei with a guilty look on his face. Gu Wei didn't say anything and gave her a relieved smile.
< br>Everyone re-prepared the scene and filmed it twice, and the director finally gave it the go-ahead.
Then "Mei Changsu" and "Nihuang" walked out of the hall and strolled around the palace.
Several scenes feature Gu Wei and Tang Yan talking to each other
In order to film this TV series, Gu Wei also made a lot of preparations in advance.
From his understanding, the character "Mei Changsu" has been tortured by illness because he is suffering from serious illness, so when performing the performance, he has to put away his tough atmosphere, through makeup and some small details Techniques to make yourself appear "softer".
But it cannot be "weak" in a feminine way, because "Mei Changsu" is originally a Qilin talent. In the plot, he is also very wise, and he can fool everyone into applause, so his inner Have the confidence and arrogance of a wise man.
In short, it is a relatively complex character, and Gu Wei also built a lot of character models in his mind.
Now it seems that the performance is quite good.
Compared with Gu Wei's ease, Tang Yan's performance was not as satisfactory.
A chat with Gu Wei while walking in the palace, she almost NGed it several times in every conversation.
One shot even failed ten times.
In fact, this situation is normal.
There is nothing wrong with filming, and today is the first day of filming, so the crew and actors all need to get used to it.
The director was also very tolerant of her performance, teaching her over and over again to let her adjust.
It was just a bit hard for Gu Wei. Originally, there was nothing wrong with his performance. In order to cooperate with Tang Yan, he could only repeat this uncomplicated scene.
"Stuck! Okay, passed!"
After filming the last scene today, Gu Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and Tang Yan also relaxed.
Regardless of rest, she turned her head and looked at Gu Wei with a guilty look on her face.
"I'm sorry, Gu Wei, I asked you to act so many times today~"
Gu Wei waved his hand carelessly with a smile on his face.
"It's okay, Sister Tang Yan.
It's normal for actors to be NG when filming. Besides, it's our first day of filming, so it's understandable that you are a little uncomfortable."
Tang Yan After listening to Gu Wei's words, his expression was a little gloomy.
"Now I feel that this drama is very different from my previous dramas, and the director's requirements are more stringent. Only after watching the performances of other actors on the crew did I realize that I have many shortcomings."
< br>"Don't worry too much. It's a good thing for the actors to have strict requirements from the director, so that more exciting effects can be produced.
And everyone's good acting is also an incentive for you, they all say "The one who is close to Zhu is red."
As long as you act seriously, I believe there will be good results in the end."
Gu Wei reached out and patted Tang Yan's shoulder, comforting him.
"We will work together for a long time. If you need my help in any way, feel free to come to me."
As he said this, he looked at Tang Yan with a smile on his face and encouraged her.
Listening to Gu Wei's comforting words and receiving his promise of help, Tang Yan looked at him with gratitude on his face.
It was only through the movie "Detective Chinatown" at the end of last year that she learned that there was a "super newcomer" like Gu Wei in the circle.
The second movie that he entered the film and television industry at such a young age has achieved impressive box office results of 1 billion, making young actors in every circle envious.
The same goes for Tang Yan. Since she became famous in "Sword and Sword 3" in 2009, she has been in the TV industry, to be precise, the "Mary Sue" TV industry, but there has been no good development in her career. Before this TV shoot, she knew that the actor she was going to work with was Gu Wei, so she made up her mind to have a good relationship with him.
Gu Wei is not only a simple actor, but also a director and the boss of a film and television company.
According to her agent, the "Prince Concubine's Promotion" that has become popular on the Internet recently was produced by Gu Wei Company.
With these various conditions, in Tang Yan's eyes, Gu Wei was already a "golden thigh" in the entertainment industry.
It's a pity that she is too young, otherwise she would have to try to catch such a potential stock.
In the next few days of filming, Tang Yan gradually got into the mood. Although his performance could only be said to be unsatisfactory, at least when he acted opposite Gu Wei, he would not stretch his hips as much as the day before.
Although you can see the gap in acting skills when acting with many veteran actors, the style of painting is still very unified.
Being able to integrate himself well when everyone is acting in a group scene, this is accomplished. I believe that when the film is released later, Tang Yan’s acting skills will not be criticized too much by the audience. .
The character "Mei Changsu" in [Nirvana in Fire] always has a lot of lines, some of which are conversations with others, and some of which are simply monologues by herself.
In terms of acting skills, Gu Wei can also handle it, and he has no problem with expressions, movements, etc.
Only for lines, there are no shortcuts.
Gu Wei does not have a super brain, and his memory may only be slightly stronger than the average person. Faced with a thick script book, he is also very desperate, so he has to spend a lot of time reciting his scripts every day.
During filming, Gu Wei’s failure was basically due to forgetting his lyrics.
"Gu Wei, please help me see what tone and expression I should use in this sentence?"
Gu Wei was reciting his lines and waiting for the show to start later. Tang Yan ran over and asked for advice with her script.
Gu Wei raised his head to look at Tang Yan, took her script and explained it to her.
This kind of thing happens a lot recently. Ever since Gu Wei left a gentle and helpful impression on Tang Yan on the first day of filming, she no longer treats herself as an outsider, in order to perform better in the crew. Okay, come here often to ask Gu Wei for advice.
Of course Gu Wei never refuses. It’s not that he is a good teacher. Such a beautiful woman comes to him for help every day. After answering, she occasionally looks at him with admiring eyes. Gu Wei also enjoys it.
After the crew filmed for a few days, good news came from the agent Yang Liwen.
LV invited Gu Wei to become their "brand ambassador".
For a world-renowned blue-blood luxury brand like Louis Vuitton, the title of spokesperson has always been coveted by celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Before Gu Wei, only Gong Li and Fan Bingbing had signed contracts with Louis Vuitton as spokespersons for China and Alma handbag series respectively.
Although Gu Wei is only a signed brand ambassador and not a real brand spokesperson, he has passed the most basic step of being a brand friend.
For a global luxury brand like LV, when inviting celebrities, they usually start with brand friends. Brand friends are just partners and are not considered spokespersons.
As celebrities become more famous and influential, they will gradually upgrade their contracts to brand ambassadors and eventually brand spokespersons.
Gu Wei became the brand ambassador from the moment he came up, already because his starting point after entering the industry was too high.
This endorsement had a great impact on Gu Wei himself.
The endorsement fee is secondary, mainly because it will enhance Gu Wei's fashionability in the eyes of many manufacturers, making it easier for him to receive endorsements from first-tier international brands in the future.
On March 20, Louis Vuitton’s official Weibo posted a message.
#LouisVuitton officially announced that @Gu Wei has become the brand ambassador. We will go to the trend scene together to explore the creative ideas of trying on clothes and start a fantasy feast together. #
As soon as it was posted on Weibo, it attracted the attention of many netizens. After all, LV’s influence in the luxury goods industry is unrivaled.
And if you are number one in anything, you will get some attention.
Many fans of Gu Wei also celebrated their idol on Louis Vuitton’s Weibo.
“Congratulations to Gu Wei for becoming LV’s first domestic male brand ambassador!”
"Brother is the best, Louis Vuitton's temperament matches you very well~"
"."
The next morning, as soon as Gu Wei arrived on the set, Tang Yan came up to congratulate him.
“Gu Wei, congratulations on signing the Louis Vuitton brand ambassadorship!”
For the news of Gu Wei’s endorsement of LV, only Tang Yan in the [Nirvana in Fire] crew paid attention, and other actors Either he is too old or he knows nothing about the fashion industry.
"Thank you, Sister Tang Yan. I'm just a brand ambassador, not a spokesperson, so don't worry too much."
I don't know if Gu Wei's words are modest or showing off.
Tang Yan was a little sour.
"Just a brand ambassador? A young actor like me can only be a close friend of the brand, and it is difficult to become a brand ambassador."
Gu Wei remembers that Tang Yan in the original time and space was in [Why Shengxiao After that, his popularity soared and he became the brand spokesperson of Valentino. Of course, Valentino and Louis Vuitton are incomparable.
"Don't worry, keep filming well, I predict you will definitely get a spokesperson for a big brand this year."
Gu Wei looked determined.
"Then let me lend you some good words."
