Chapter 306 We are all children of the stars
Time passed day by day, and the crew's filming in New York went smoothly.
According to the requirements of the guardian, review and rehearse every night, so that when shooting the next day, everyone will be as if they have rehearsed, doing their duties and being in order.
The professionalism of the domestic team greatly shocked the local employees in New York, and they also worked with great energy.
On this day, Yuan Hua, the master of "Tang Ren" in the play and guest star in "Mo Yougan", arrived.
Speaking of Yuen Hua, those who often watch Hong Kong movies may have the biggest impression of him as the villain in various movies.
In fact, because his body shape was similar to Bruce Lee's at first, he played Bruce Lee's martial arts stunt double in "Fist of Fury" and "Enter the Dragon".
At that time, Bruce Lee was very optimistic about him and promised to take him to the United States for development.
But not long after, Bruce Lee died unexpectedly, and the promise to Yuan Hua could not be fulfilled.
He had no choice but to continue working as a stunt double in martial arts dramas on Hong Kong Island. Later, he got involved with Hong Jinbao and became one of the famous Seven Little Fortunes.
It's a pity that due to his appearance, he never became famous.
I can only play fierce villains in various film and television dramas. In many cases, I am not even the number one villain, just a thug.
In Lin Zhengying's movie "Mr. Zombie", he played the zombie Mr. Ren who was beaten by Uncle Jiu.
It wasn’t until he played the role of “The Charterer” in Zhou Xingchi’s “Kung Fu” that he became famous in one fell swoop.
Not only is he well known to the mainland audience, he also won the "Best Supporting Actor at the 24th Hong Kong Film Awards".
This is also the first award he has received since starting his career.
He was considered a golden green leaf in Hong Kong movies of that era.
"Teacher Yuan Hua, I have admired you for a long time!
Thank you very much for taking our film and coming all the way to the United States to film.
It was really hard work ! ”
As soon as they met, Gu Wei shook hands with Yuan Hua with a smile on his face and said very politely.
"You're welcome, director. I'm an actor. It's only natural that I get paid for filming. There's no such thing as hard work."
Yuan Hua disagreed, but he was still very happy to see Gu Wei being so enthusiastic. happy.
Speaking of which, there was a little story that happened when the crew invited Yuan Hua.
Following the procedure, the crew initially contacted Yuan Hua to ask him to play the role of "Mo Yougan".
Yuan Hua readily agreed.
Then when the staff were discussing the salary, they asked him how much he wanted.
As a result, the other party’s quotation was only 100,000 yuan.
Later, when Gu Wei found out about this, he wanted to increase his salary.
After all, for characters with slightly more scenes in the United States, it would cost more than this amount to film with the crew for just a few days.
No matter what, Yuan Hua is well-known in China. When he appeared in the movie, almost everyone didn't know his identity as the "contractor".
As a result, this proposal was rejected by Yuan Hua.
The explanation he gave was that he felt that his guest appearance in the film was worth so much money. If the news got out if he paid too much, other crews would not dare to film with him.
Seeing how insistent he was, the crew had no choice but to give up.
After a night's rest, the crew started filming Yuan Hua's scene the next day.
They just paid a little money and came over to make a cameo. There were only two scenes in total. Of course, they had to finish filming quickly, and they definitely couldn't let Yuan Hua wait with the crew.
After discovering the clues, the trio of detectives, led by Wang Baoqiang, found his master in Chinatown, the Mojiquan master "Mo Youqian".
"Master, I am Tang Ren!"
Wearing a yellow sportswear, Yuan Hua, who was a bit senile, ignored him, pushed him away with one hand, and faced Baoqiang Gu Wei behind him said with a smile:
“What a pretty girl~”
The boxing gym scene was filmed twice and passed. The first time there was something wrong with the positioning of the three of them.
Yuan Hua has indeed been acting in movies all his life, and his performance is completely at his fingertips.
While it was still early, everyone changed clothes, changed scenes, and continued filming the scene later in the movie where Yuan Hua helps the three detectives fend off the pursuing soldiers.
In the evening, the crew held a small closing banquet in the hotel to see Yuan Hua off.
Only the main actors and several directors of the crew were present.
The other party is already over 60 this year, and he came all the way to the United States to make a living. Although Gu Wei gave money, compared to the help the other party brought to the film, the money was nothing.
"Teacher Yuan Hua, thank you very much for your participation!"
Gu Wei raised his glass with a serious look on his face.
Wang Baoqiang next to him also raised his glass with a smile on his face.
He and Yuan Hua have known each other for a long time, and they just finished working together on Brother Chen Kai's "The Taoist Priest Descends from the Mountain".
"Director, you are so polite.
I have long said that it is appropriate to use money to do things, and this has always been my principle since I started working in the industry.
There is really no need to thank you. You’re welcome!”
At the banquet, everyone drank and drank, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Only Liu Yifei sat aside and didn't speak much.
Of course, as a girl, no one would criticize her harshly for what happened at the dinner table.
After eating and drinking, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
On his way out, Gu Wei stopped Liu Yifei, who was walking forward with his head lowered.
"Sister Yifei, why do you think you are not in a high mood today?"
Liu Yifei stopped when she heard this. She looked at no one around, looked up at Gu Wei, and whispered ：
"Can you go for a walk with me?"
Gu Wei frowned and looked at Liu Yifei, who was in a bad state.
“Okay~”
The two of them left the hotel and strolled along the tree-lined path next to them.
Although night has completely fallen, the lights of the city separate the human world from nature, and it will never fall into complete darkness at any time.
The trees on both sides of the stone path are not high, surrounded by lawns and low shrubs, and the chirping of cicadas can also be heard.
Gu Wei and Liu Yifei walked side by side, very slowly.
The night was quiet and they didn't speak.
After walking a few steps, Gu Wei seemed to hear Liu Yifei sobbing next to him.
He turned to look at the other person. Liu Yifei lowered her head, her long hair hanging down on the side of her head, completely blocking her face, and her shoulders were shaking slightly.
"Sister Yifei, you"
Gu Wei stopped, gently held Liu Yifei's shoulders with both hands, and turned her towards him.
The lowered head slowly lifted up, with a face full of pear blossoms and tears in his eyes. Looking at Gu Wei, more pearls had slipped down his cheeks.
"Gu Wei, I received a call at night. My best friend passed away!"
Speaking, Liu Yifei could no longer control her sad emotions and threw herself at Gu Wei. In his arms, he burst into tears.
Gu Wei's heart skipped a beat, the worst thing had happened.
As soon as Liu Yifei said it, he knew who it was.
At the Spring Festival Gala in Beijing last year, he kindly reminded the person he met that the time was later than the original time and space, but the person left after all.
But this is not unexpected. Cancer is not discovered late. It has always been there. It just spreads after one treatment. It cannot be stopped by human power.
There is only one thing in this world that is fair to everyone, and that is death.
No matter whether you are an emperor, a general or a minister, your name will go down in history, you will be rich in the world, or you will learn from the past and the present, in the end you will inevitably get rid of the loess, and the wind will always blow away the wind.
Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs, was hailed as a god by fans who loved him. He was worth billions. The smartphone revolution changed the world, but he still could not stop the ravages of cancer cells in his body. He passed away amid the regrets of countless people. .
CCTV host Li Yong is loved by the majority of the audience. CCTV units even require annual physical examinations and receive the highest standards of treatment when physical problems are discovered. In the end, he was not retained.
People, some fates can be fought against, while others really cannot be fought against!
Gu Wei held the crying Liu Yifei tightly in his arms, but Gu Wei did not offer any comfort.
He knew that any words were pale now, and what the other party needed now was to vent.
For a long time, Liu Yifei's crying gradually became quieter. She raised her head from Gu Wei's shoulder and reached out to wipe the tears from her face.
“Here~”
Gu Wei handed over a tissue.
Liu Yifei asked while wiping her red and swollen eyes from crying.
"Why do you have tissues?"
"Refined men always carry a pack of tissues with them."
Gu Wei said jokingly.
After wiping her tears, she folded the tissue and blew her nose. Liu Yifei was amused by his words. He said with a strong nasal voice:
“What a delicate man you are!”
"Shall we walk for a while?"
Gu Wei suggested.
Liu Yifei nodded.
After crying just now, she vented a lot of her sad emotions, but her mood was still low.
After walking side by side for a while, Gu Wei slowly spoke.
“In fact, the meaning of life does not lie in its length.
Some people live a long time, but their lives are meaningless.
Some people’s lives Very short, but brilliant, just like fireworks, countless people who loved her will remember her.
Even if she is gone, her voice and smile will still remain in everyone's heart.
Heaven is far away, maybe God just wants to listen to music. ”
“Why doesn’t God find someone else to sing? She is not the only one who sings well! "
Liu Yifei was still a little angry.
Gu Wei smiled slightly and did not reply to her.
Slowly, through the woods, the two of them walked to a small lake. On the edge.
The lake is so calm at night, surrounded by green grass and sparse woods in the distance.
Looking up, the stars twinkled in the cloudless night sky, and a Milky Way stretched across the sky, its tail hanging on the horizon.
The starlight is bright, shining on the water, as if there is a faint fluorescence.
At this time, Liu Yifei seemed to be attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of her, her attention shifted slightly, and her sadness became much smaller.
The two of them stood together and admired the beautiful night scenery.
Gu Wei slowly took two steps forward and looked up at the night sky.
"Sister Yifei, did you know that if we go to the atomic level, we are all composed of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and iron.
These elements that make up your body may require Older than the blue planet under our feet
70% of your body is water, H2O, hydrogen comes from the big bang, carbon comes from nuclear fusion inside stars, and iron comes from supernova explosions. .
So from this perspective, we are all children of the stars in the universe.”
As he said this, Gu Wei turned and looked at Liu Yifei.
"So some people leave, but they just come from the stars and return to the stars.
Look at the shining stars in the night sky, there is always one of them that is her destination."
The two looked at each other. At this moment, Liu Yifei saw that the scenery behind Gu Wei was quiet and full of stars. A smiling face glowed with ivory luster in the starlight, and her eyes seemed to contain stars all over the sky.
My heart started beating rapidly at an inappropriate time.
‘Oops, it’s a heart-pounding feeling.
Gu Wei is really good at comforting people, and he is so handsome at this moment! ’
After finishing his sentence, Gu Wei raised his head and looked at the sky again.
Liu Yifei also followed his gaze, and suddenly a star flashed in the distant night sky. She didn't know if it was the spirit of her friend in heaven responding to Gu Wei's words.
They didn’t stay out too late, and they returned to the hotel after a while.
After Gu Wei's explanation, although Liu Yifei was still sad, her mood had eased a lot.
In the corridor, Liu Yifei was about to enter the house. She turned the door handle and hesitated, then stepped back and looked at Gu Wei outside.
“Thank you!”
“Thank you for nothing, we are good friends!”
Gu Wei said softly.
"Would you like to come in for a glass of water?"
After saying this, Liu Yifei was a little surprised. She didn't know why she said such words. Of course she knew what it meant to invite a man into the house at this late night. She is not a teenage girl either.
“Me?”
Gu Wei was also a little surprised.
“Um~, don’t get me wrong, I’m just drinking a glass of water.
We have been walking outside for so long just now, and you have said so many things to me. You must be thirsty.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean anything else.
Just wanted to thank you."
Liu Yifei was a little anxious and incoherent, and she said a lot of explanations.
Gu Wei smiled.
"Okay~"
He didn't think too much.
“Huh?”
Liu Yifei hasn’t reacted yet.
“I said yes, you can go in and have a glass of water.”
Gu Wei said with a chuckle.
"Ah, okay, please come in~"
Liu Yifei quickly opened the door and let Gu Wei in.
The most high-end suites in the hotel all have the same layout. Liu Yifei's suite is no different from Gu Wei's, except that it has a lot more of her personal belongings.
For example, there are some cute little ornaments on some cabinets and coffee tables, from which you can see her pink girlish heart.
After entering the door, he walked to the sofa and sat down.
Liu Yifei got a glass of warm water for Gu Wei and went to the other side herself.
She wore a white high-waisted dress today, with her hair disheveled. Because she cried a few times outside, the makeup on her face was stained by tears.
Gu Wei looked at her face and couldn't help but smile.
“What are you laughing at?”
Liu Yifei asked a little strangely.
"Your face was turned into a little cat from crying."
"Yeah!"
She just realized what she was doing, and quickly got up and ran to the bathroom, leaving behind a sentence talk.
“I’m going to wash my face”
Gu Wei sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, drank water, and flipped through the books placed beside the sofa.
Liu Yifei really likes reading, and she never forgets to bring a few books with her when she goes out to act.
After a while, Liu Yifei came back out and put on comfortable clothes, and all the makeup on her face was removed. However, her beauty was not diminished at all. Her skin looked fairer and pinker from a close distance, beautiful and cute. .
She saw Gu Wei flipping through a book and became interested.
“Do you also like reading books?”
"Occasionally, but it's not the same type as you."
Gu Wei replied.
Liu Yifei simply sat next to him, picked up another book, and began to share her reading experience with him.
Gu Wei was not impatient and listened with interest.
Slowly, Liu Yifei's voice became quieter and quieter, and the room gradually became quiet.
The book she was holding slipped and fell to the ground, and she fell asleep with her head on Gu Wei's shoulder.
She is indeed too tired today.
After a day of filming, I got the sad news in the evening. I cried a few times during the emotional ups and downs. I was so exhausted.
Gu Wei gently turned over and hugged Liu Yifei with one hand in front of him and the other behind him.
Then he sent her to the bed in the bedroom and covered her with the quilt carefully.
Looking at Liu Yifei who looked like a sleeping princess on the bed, Gu Wei had a faint smile on his face.
"Have a sweet dream, my good friend~"
Turn around and go out, slowly closing the door.
