Chapter 265: He is a man in doing things
The story of [The Great Wall] is very simple. It mainly tells the story of a foreign mercenary named William who traveled thousands of miles to China to steal gunpowder. As a result, he found a Chinese elite force to protect mankind. , fighting a life-and-death battle with the monster Taotie on the world-famous Great Wall.
Here, he saw the ferocity of the Taotie, and also witnessed the elite and bravery of the Shadowless Forbidden Army. He was moved by the trust and sacrifice between these warriors, and joined the battle to protect mankind without hesitation. among.
In the end, the Great Wall was broken and mankind was in a life-and-death situation. William turned the tide and, with the help of Jingtian, the heroine, killed the Beast King and saved the world.
A very old-fashioned Hollywood personal hero movie.
In Gu Wei's opinion, "The Great Wall" is similar to "The King of Kung Fu," a Chinese-American co-production a few years ago.
The same story is about a Western male protagonist coming to a mysterious exotic land in the East, helping justice defeat evil along the way, and finally saving the world, while also winning the heart of a stunning female protagonist in the exotic land.
To be honest, when Gu Wei watched Hollywood blockbusters before, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with their approach. Those movies all took place in other countries and regions, and when he watched them, he could also take on the perspective of the male protagonist. It felt like Quite enjoyable.
However, once the background was changed to China, he could not relate to it at all. Just like the plot of "The Great Wall", the sacrifices of Chinese soldiers generation after generation prevented the gluttonous monster from wreaking havoc on the world.
Not long after a foreign mercenary with evil intentions arrived, he became the key to destroying the monsters, and everyone repaid him with heavy responsibility, and in the end he really saved the world.
The butt determines the head. As a Chinese, he felt aggrieved when it came to those soldiers who fought bravely against the Taotie.
There is no one in our country, and we have to ask a foreigner to save it, although he knows that this setting is to attract Western audiences and for the global box office.
But from the perspective of a Chinese audience, this plot still made him a little unhappy.
The next morning, Gu Wei came to the set early. After putting on makeup, he put on a gorgeous yellow armor.
Director Zhang Yimou is a true master of using color. He often uses various strong and prominent colors to express some emotions in his movies.
[The Great Wall] This movie is no exception.
The "Shadowless Forbidden Army" is divided into five armies according to combat methods and weapons. Not only are they represented by the five animals of deer, eagle, tiger, crane and bear, but they are also covered in purple, red, yellow, blue, Black five-color armor.
Zhang Hanyu is the commander-in-chief of all armies, and his direct unit Xiong Jun is the infantry.
The Crane Army led by Jingtian is an all-women army. Their main skill is acrobatics. They use ropes to jump off the Great Wall and stab monsters to death.
It’s just that there are so many monsters climbing up, and he can’t stab any one with a fork, and he is also facing the danger of being eaten by the monster in one jump. To be honest, Gu Wei doesn’t quite understand this seemingly dazzling thing. Cool but actually a very inefficient way of fighting.
The Eagle Army led by Lin Gengxin is an archer.
Huang Xuan led the deer army, which was equivalent to cavalry.
The Tiger Army led by Gu Wei is an engineering and agency unit, and all the agencies on the Great Wall are controlled by them.
Fireballs can be thrown through the machine, which is extremely lethal.
In fact, although these generals seem to be the top leaders of the "Shadowless Forbidden Army" and the main force in resisting Taotie, in fact they have very few lines and scenes, and they are basically equivalent to large-scale supporting roles in other movies.
Under the director's arrangement, Gu Wei quickly shot the few scenes in which he existed in one day and spoke his poor four lines.
In Gu Wei's last scene, the male protagonist's two companions stole the black powder and ran away, but the male protagonist decided to stay and help the female protagonist resist the Taotie.
But everyone thought that he was with the two thieves. Everyone was gathering in the hall to discuss how to deal with him. "Peng Yong", a young soldier of the Xiong Army played by Lu Han, came forward. He clasped his hands into fists and said timidly:
"Commander of the Qi Report Palace, I was in Hanyuan Pavilion when the incident happened. I saw him blocking those two people with my own eyes."
Jing Tian He looked at the male protagonist hesitantly and asked, "Are you sure?"
Before Lu Han could reply, Gu Wei came over from the side, grabbed Lu Han's collar, and pulled him forward.
He threatened with a fierce look: "If you dare to tell a lie, I will chop you!"
His height of 185cm is half a head taller than Lu Han, and his face is because of the character. It was necessary to specially draw the hideous scars, and the skin has darkened a lot. He really looks like a fierce general who has been fighting for many years.
“The villain swears in the name of the Shadowless Forbidden Army, and what he says is true.”
Lu Han said quickly.
After hearing what he said, Gu Wei looked at Jingtian who was really making up his mind, and let go of Lu Han, who looked a little thin.
"Ka! It's good here, passed!"
Director Zhang's voice came from the loudspeaker, and the last shot of Gu Wei's cameo was finished.
"Xiaolu, are you okay?" Gu Wei walked up to Lu Han and asked with a smile on his face.
The scene just now was actually filmed several times, and every time the problem was with Lu Han.
I wonder if Gu Wei acted a little too fiercely. After he grabbed Lu Han by the neck and pulled him over, Lu Han's response was broken.
"It's okay, it's okay, Brother Wei, I'm sorry, it's all my fault.
If I hadn't performed poorly, I wouldn't have failed so many times, causing you to reshoot over and over again."
Lu Han said a little embarrassed.
He didn't perform well in the first two times because he was a little frightened by Gu Wei's momentum.
In fact, Lu Han's feelings towards Gu Wei are very complicated.
As a member of EXO, the popular idol group in Asia, he immediately became a top streamer after returning to China and was sought after by film and television companies, fans and other aspects.
I thought that the younger generation was incomparable and could at most compete with a few of my teammates. I didn’t expect that Gu Wei, a young male star in the domestic entertainment industry, would crush them in every aspect.
Not to mention taking away the best resources in the industry, the fan war some time ago finally forced several of them to apologize in person.
At first he felt that Gu Wei was too overbearing.
But recently, he has been picking up leftover cakes from others, making him not sure whether to feel grateful or disgusted with Gu Wei.
This role in [The Great Wall], and the male protagonist in [I Am a Witness] who will join the cast immediately, are the ones that Gu Wei did not want to miss.
The entertainment industry is so big that it is impossible to hide this kind of news, and the producers of these movies will not hide it either. They are eager to use this news to create gimmicks to attract the attention of the audience.
Although the crew sought him out because of his high traffic and reputation, if Gu Wei took the role, nothing would happen to him.
This was the first time they met on the set of [The Great Wall]. He originally wanted to make friends with Gu Wei, but because of the previous incident of online violence by a fan, he didn't know what Gu Wei's impression of him was, and he was afraid of being hot-faced but cold-blooded.
When they met yesterday, they simply said hello and didn’t say much. After the two had more exchanges during the filming today, he found that Gu Wei was a very kind person and seemed to have a history with him. Ambivalent people also have no prejudices.
When we first started filming this scene, Lu Han did not perform well and failed several times. He was originally worried that Gu Wei would be angry because of this, but unexpectedly he stepped forward to comfort him. This behavior immediately made Lu Han feel better. .
“What is NG, there is no NG in filming. As long as you act hard and seriously and show your best, don’t worry too much about anything else.”
Gu Wei filmed it Patting Lu Han on the shoulder, he said with a smile.
Although it was their first meeting, Gu Wei still had a good impression of Lu Han.
Many people don’t like Lu Han because of his poor acting skills, but he is a singer and is not an actor.
In addition, Yuan Shikong officially announced his relationship when he was at the height of his popularity. Even though he knew that doing so would cause countless fans to lose their followers, he still insisted on giving his girlfriend a status.
Gu Wei’s comment on this is, ‘Although he doesn’t look like a man, he does things like a man. ’
After chatting with Lu Han for a while, Gu Wei was going to the dressing room to remove his makeup.
"Brother Wei, can you add us on WeChat?"
Lu Han called to Gu Wei who was about to leave, and asked a little shyly.
“Of course, I was negligent~”
Gu Wei took the mobile phone from his assistant, added WeChat to Lu Han, and sent him his personal mobile phone number.
“We are both in the capital. I’ll invite you to come out and have dinner together when we have time!”
"Yeah, brother Wei, call me. I'll definitely be there when I have time."
After returning to the dressing room separately from Lu Han, he found that Lin Gengxin was also here.
This guy is different from Lu Han. He is a pure social type. He chatted with Gu Wei for a few words yesterday, and chatting with him today is like an old friend he has known for many years.
The two chatted for a while. After learning that Gu Wei also liked to play games, Lin Geng made an appointment with Gu Wei to play [League of Legends] together when they have time.
And said that when the time comes, I will introduce him to some friends who also love playing games.
