Chapter 167 I just hope to be closer to you
On the bus, "Li Er" who came out of her alma mater and refused "Zhang Yang" to see her off just sat down.
Before the car door was closed, "Zhang Yang" caught up with him and sat next to "Li Er".
"Why are you here?"
At this time, Chen Duling plays "Li Er" who has worked for a period of time after graduating from university.
She was wearing a mature lady's white shirt and a brown casual skirt. Her beautiful hair was spread out, and she wore a thin platinum necklace on her snow-white neck. She wore light makeup on her face. People do seem to be much more mature.
The crew also took great pains to dress her up.
Chen Duling has an innocent appearance, she is a bit childish, and she has her own airport at a young age. Although she is 21 years old, she plays the role of a teenage middle school student. You don’t even need to put on makeup, just put on your school uniform.
But now all the scenes of the student days have been filmed, and the male and female protagonists have grown up and have been working for some years.
When Chen Duling appears on camera again, the crew will need to take the trouble to dress her up.
It seems to be working pretty well now.
Gu Wei is wearing a brown-green shirt and light blue jeans. His hair is no longer the cropped haircut he had in his student days. It has been styled into a slightly more shapely shape. He looks much more mature.
At this time, he did not have the unruly and aggressive temperament he had in middle school.
He turned his head and looked at Chen Duling with a smile.
“I still have something to say to you~”
At this time, the two people looked at each other, looking at Gu Wei's jade-like handsome face. Although there was nothing abnormal on Chen Duling's face, her heart was beating extremely fast.
After looking at each other for two seconds, Gu Wei put his head next to her left ear and said something. The hot breath he breathed hit Chen Duling's ear, making her ears turn red instantly.
“Do you know what I just said to you?”
Chen Duling did not answer, the two of them smiled in tacit understanding. At this time, the camera moved forward and the two people were in the same frame. Chen Duling became a person.
Chen Duling lowered her head slightly, with a smile showing at the corner of her mouth, which was shy, sweet, and relieved
"Stuck! Very good, this shot has passed, [Left Ear] is officially finished!"
Su Youpeng's voice came from the big speaker behind the monitor, and the crew suddenly cheered.
When the director called for completion, Chen Duling breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her whole body.
Making this movie was a bit too difficult for an amateur like her who had no experience at all.
Now that the filming is finally completed, she feels relaxed and full of pride, as if she has accomplished some great goal.
Without moving from her seat, she turned her head and looked at Gu Wei next to her, feeling a complicated and incomprehensible feeling in her heart.
Gu Wei felt her gaze and turned around, smiling gently at Chen Duling.
It happened that the sunshine outside the window shone on Gu Wei's face, making his smile look particularly bright.
Chen Duling was stunned.
"Torino, thank you for your hard work. You have done a particularly good job filming the scenes in the past few days. Your outstanding performance allowed our crew to complete the filming so quickly."
Gu Wei's words woke up Chen Duling.
“Ah~ No, no, it’s all thanks to you, Teacher Gu. Thank you for helping me with my lines these days and bringing me into the play.
I’m very stupid. If it weren’t for you, The filming these days will not be so smooth. "
Chen Duling's face turned slightly red. She was in college when she was most looking forward to love. She was a young girl.
For a girl of her age, it is difficult not to be tempted by a boy like Gu Wei who can amaze her.
Gu Wei's appearance, figure, and personality were almost perfect in her eyes. Filming this somewhat ambiguous scene with him made it easy for her to become one of them.
Unfortunately, filming is filming after all. Now that the filming is over, the little ambiguity between the two has quickly dissipated.
She felt that her and Gu Wei's lives were like two parallel straight lines, because the opportunities to make movies occasionally crossed, and after they ended, they were two parallel lines again.
Gu Wei is a big star, she is just an ordinary college student.
Just like in fairy tales, the prince and the princess can live happily together, but if it is an ordinary girl, I am afraid the prince will not look at it more.
Although Chen Duling longs for love, she is also a highly intelligent science and engineering girl who can understand what reality is.
Gu Wei, who was only one year older than her, was already so good that she could not reach it now.
Thinking about this, the look she looked at Gu Wei became more complicated and unclear.
I sighed secretly.
She once read this sentence: "You cannot meet someone who is too stunning when you are young, otherwise you will not be able to spend the rest of your life peacefully."
Now that I think about it, it is so similar to her situation at this time.
Gu Wei would not know Chen Duling's inner thoughts, but through these days of filming, he could also tell that the other party had a good impression of him.
What can he do? Being too handsome is also a mistake.
He didn't pay too much attention to it. He knew that this kind of good feeling often comes and goes quickly, and time will solve all problems.
The crew’s closing party in the evening.
Director Su Youpeng is very excited. "Left Ear" is his directorial debut. Now that the film is finished, he is like raising his own child little by little, and he is full of a sense of accomplishment.
“Gu Wei, this is my first time as a director making a movie.
Although I made a lot of preparations in advance, when the filming started, I still encountered many unexpected troubles.< br>
Now that I think about it, the most correct thing I did in the preparation stage was to find you to star in this movie.”
Su Youpeng drank a lot at the dinner table. He was really serious today. I was so happy that I pulled Gu Wei and talked a lot.
"The job of directing is really not something that ordinary people can do. Fortunately, the male protagonist of our movie is you.
I have met many young actors in the industry over the years, and your acting skills are definitely the best among them. "
"Director, I'm embarrassed by your praise. I think I'm normal. After all, I've studied acting in school for three years. If I don't perform well, wouldn't it be an embarrassment to the school? "
Gu Wei said modestly after hearing Su Youpeng's praise.
"I have seen many actors with professional backgrounds. How many of them can reach your level? You will definitely have a bright future as an actor in the future."
"Thank you to the director~"
It was because Gu Wei left such a good impression on Su Youpeng during the filming, and the other actors in the crew were obviously in contrast with him, now Su Youpeng is particularly fond of Gu Wei. enthusiasm. And he knew that if his movie wanted to be a hit in the future, it would have to rely on Gu Wei's popularity.
He is a new actor-turned-director. Although he was quite famous when he was an actor, he is now a director after all. With no previous work at all, the audience can relate to him. How much trust there is is still unknown.
[Left Ear] itself is just a low-budget youth movie. Except for Gu Wei, there are basically new actors in the drama, and the heroine is a pure vegetarian.
In his opinion, if this movie is to be a big hit, it depends on Gu Wei. After all, Gu Wei is currently the most popular young actor with many fans.
The audience of "Left Ear" is basically young people, which coincides with Gu Wei's fan base. In time, Gu Wei's fans can also help the movie make money.
Su Youpeng didn’t become a director just for fun, he really wanted to do a good job as a director.
He was a popular star in the first half of his life, and then became a famous director in the second half of his life. This kind of resume is simply perfect in the entertainment industry.
He has a good idea, but whether he can continue on this road depends on how well the first shot goes.
If his debut film loses money, then he can basically say goodbye to the director's career, and no investors will be willing to invest in him.
Just like Wu Jing, he lost money on his first movie "Wolf Fang", and no one was willing to invest in his next movie "Wolf Warriors".
He gritted his teeth and spent all his savings to film, but the money was all spent and the film was not finished. In the end, if Gu Wei hadn't helped him fill the gap, he would have had to mortgage his house to film.
Fortunately in the later period, [Wolf Warrior] made a small profit, and Wu Jing had the opportunity to continue filming [Wolf Warrior 2].
Just imagine, if Wu Jing, who used to mortgage his house to film the movie "Wolf Warriors" in time and space, went out on the street after its release, what awaited him would be that all the savings he had worked hard for half a life were wasted.
The whole person will probably be devastated. There is no need to mention being a director. The most likely thing is to be like Nicolas Cage in Hollywood, using his original fame to continue to accept bad movies to pay off his debts.
So making a movie is a very risky thing, especially for a director. It can be said to be one step from heaven to another step from hell.
Su Youpeng’s requirements are not high. As long as [Left Ear] can make back its money at the box office, he can win the trust of investors and continue to work in this industry.
[Left Ear]’s investment was 80 million, of which 20 million was the converted cost of Gu Wei’s salary. In fact, the real money spent was 60 million.
As long as the box office reaches more than 240 million after release, it will make money.
He still has some confidence in this box office. Zhao Wei's "To Youth" released last year achieved good results of 720 million at the box office. "Little Swallow" can do it, but how bad is his "Fifth Brother"?
Of course, these are all joking ideas. Although in those years, "Huanzhugege" was also popular in cross-strait and three places, Su Youpeng knew in his heart that in the mainland entertainment industry, whether it was popularity, connections or background resources, he was better than Zhao Wei is far behind.
However, he feels that the leading actor Gu Wei he hired for the movie has more box office appeal than Zhao Youting and Han in "To Youth". Not only is he the leading actor in a billion-dollar movie, he is also a hit this year. The male lead in the legendary drama "The Story of Ancient Swords".
Whether it is the performance of movies or TV series, Gu Wei is the best among the young actors in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China, and no one can compare with him.
After chatting with Gu Wei for a while, Su Youpeng started drinking with screenwriter Rao Xueman.
During the preparation of "Left Ear", Su Youpeng replaced 36 screenwriters because of his excessive pursuit of perfection. In the end, the original author Rao Xueman came forward as the screenwriter to solve the problem.
Even so, the two of them had many quarrels in the later period due to conflicting opinions on the filming, but fortunately everyone was doing it for the good of the film, and in the end they were able to sit down and resolve the problem calmly.
Rao Xueman recalled that the most fierce argument they had was when Su Youpeng slammed the door and told her that she was not worthy of being a screenwriter and it was better to let him do it himself.
But two seconds later, Su Youpeng opened the door again and came in. He sat down in front of Rao Xueman and said sincerely to Rao Xueman: Rao Xueman, I have to have a good talk with you.
Su Youpeng never knew that because of this sentence, Rao Xueman said that was the moment when she fell in love with Su Youpeng the most. She found that Su Youpeng loved [Left Ear] more than herself. At this point, Rao Xueman felt relieved and let Su Youpeng go ahead and do it.
As soon as Su Youpeng left, Chen Duling sat next to Gu Wei with a glass of wine.
"Teacher Gu, I would like to toast you and thank you for taking care of me on the set."
As he spoke, he picked up a glass of beer and drank it.
After finishing her drink, she put down her wine glass. Chen Duling coughed a few times uncomfortably and wiped the corners of her mouth with her hand.
Seeing this situation, Gu Wei had no choice but to drink with him.
"You rarely drink in bars. Drink slowly, otherwise you will get drunk quickly."
Gu Wei comforted him with a warm voice.
Chen Duling was wearing a white dress with a butterfly pattern today. A small piece of skin on her chest and snow-white arms were exposed. Her long black hair was not tied up, but spread freely. Come, wear a pair of small pearl earrings on your ears.
It can be seen that she wants to dress herself in a mature direction.
After drinking a glass of wine, Chen Duling looked at Gu Wei happily, the white skin on her face turning slightly red.
"Teacher Gu, I have decided that I will always be an actor in the future. I want to enter the entertainment industry and become a big star."
As he spoke, he raised one hand and clenched his little fist slightly as if to Express your determination.
“With your own conditions and current starting point, there is no problem in entering the entertainment industry.
It’s just that you have never studied acting after all. If you want to continue on this path in the future, , it is best to sign up for an acting class and learn it systematically
This will be of great benefit to your future acting career.”
After Gu Wei affirmed her wish, he gave his own suggestions.
"Yes~ I will. This movie shooting also let me know that acting is not an easy task.
I will work hard."
" Come on~
I look forward to working with you again in the future.”
Gu Wei encouraged.
Chen Duling looked at Gu Wei's mesmerizing face and listened to his gentle and encouraging words, but her inner thoughts were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.
Originally, she was still hesitant about whether to enter the entertainment industry and become an actor in the future.
After all, her original life plan was to graduate and engage in work related to professional aircraft manufacturing and engineering, and become a female engineer.
This life path has been planned by her and her family for a long time. It is stable and comfortable and will not change much.
But this year, she was unexpectedly chosen to make a movie, which gave her a chance to make another choice in her life.
At first she was still hesitant and planned to go home and discuss it with her parents, but Gu Wei made her make up her mind.
If she goes back and continues her original life, then she and Gu Wei are destined to never cross paths again.
How could she be willing to do this? She wanted to act, become famous and become a big star. She just wanted to be closer to Gu Wei. Even if there was no development, it would be good for the two of them to be friends.
The wedding banquet was still going on. Chen Duling sat next to Gu Wei and did not speak anymore. She just watched him silently drinking and chatting with others.
‘Gu Wei, I will work hard to improve myself and hope that the distance between us will be smaller next time we meet.’
