Chapter 527: Returning to the group and new drama
“It’s all behavior between fans, don’t take it too seriously. After all these years, there are still very few people who are hating you. The darker you are, the more popular you are.
You two are pretty evenly matched in all aspects now, and you are on the same track, so it is inevitable to be compared."
On the plane back to Shanghai, Gu Wei was looking at the itinerary for the next period of time. one.
Executive agent Yang Dan gave him a few more notebooks with recent invitations. Before he could read them carefully, Yang Mi called.
She was just complaining to Gu Wei about the fight between her and Zhao Liying's fans online in recent days.
Dami Mi is a 5G surfer. He surfs the Internet with multiple accounts every day to keep abreast of the latest developments in the entertainment industry.
When she saw the words "Firefly" sprayed at her when the two fans were facing each other, she would naturally feel unhappy.
“I understand everything you said, but the words spoken by Zhao Liying’s fans are too unpleasant. If this were the case before, I would have posted a few connotations on Weibo.
But [Chu Qiao Biography] is, after all, I don’t want to make things too ugly for the drama produced by your company”
After saying a few words, Yang Mi brought the topic to Gu Wei.
"Then I have to thank Sister Mi for giving me face."
"Huh~ It's good that you know.
When is it convenient to have a meal together, before [三生三世] I wanted to celebrate with you when it was released, but I was too busy at that time and didn’t have time."
Gu Wei thought for a while.
"Let me wait for the drama to be finished. It will probably end in early June."
"I have a movie coming out at the end of June. You can come to the premiere and we will get together after it's over." Yang A slightly delighted suggestion.
"Is it the one [Reverse Time Rescue] that was filmed last year?" Gu Wei thought of it as soon as his eyes rolled. Yang Mi had mentioned it to him before.
"Yes, it will be released at the end of next month, ready to compete in the summer season!" Yang Mi is full of confidence. Her last movie "Xiu Chun Dao 2" took 1 billion in box office, although most of it was Gu Wei's Credit, but it also gave her a lot of confidence.
"Come on!" Gu Wei smiled and encouraged.
[Reverse Time Rescue] He has not seen this movie, so he doesn’t know the quality, but the original time and space does not seem to be very famous.
Of course, Gu Wei will not pour cold water on Yang Mi at this time. He still has the most basic emotional intelligence.
"Sister Mi, haven't you joined the crew for filming recently?" Gu Wei casually changed the subject, skipping the movie.
“I have been running various endorsement activities during this period. After [Three Lives Three Worlds] became a hit, I received a lot of new endorsements.
And I will be working on a movie next month. Promotion, it will probably take the second half of the year to join the group"
"Sister Mi is so popular"
"Haha, I feel like they are complimenting me when they say this. It always feels a bit ironic when you say this."
"No way, I really mean it. "
The two chatted for a while, and Gu Wei hung up the phone and continued to read the script in his hand.
Although most of Gu Wei's film and television dramas are produced by his own company, as long as he does not explicitly announce that he will not take on external roles, various scripts will continue to be handed over to him in the industry.
Every once in a while, he has to screen to see if there are any good films worthy of his starring role.
Although Gu Wei has a prophet, he is not omniscient. He may not pay attention to many things in the original time and space, or he may not remember them deeply, so it is easy to miss them.
For example, some time ago he asked Yang Liwen to acquire the copyright of the novel "The Patriarch of the Demonic Way". If he hadn't thought of Xiao Zhan when he bought shares in "Wow Haw Haw Wa", that novel "Chen Dao Master" could be regarded as the pinnacle of delaying reform. Qing Ling] must have been missed.
In addition to Gu Wei's previous films "Operation Mekong" and "Expedition 3", other companies submitted script invitations, and he finally joined.
When the plane landed in Shanghai, Gu Wei also read through a dozen books in his hand. Most of them are just glanced at and thrown aside. There is no value in reading them in depth.
There was only one copy. Gu Wei put it in his hand and looked through it carefully, hesitating whether to take it or not.
This book was handed over by [Noon Sunshine], a costume drama with a female protagonist. The name is a line from Li Qingzhao's [Ru Meng Ling] - [Do you know whether it should be green, fat, red and thin] .
Of course I have heard of Gu Wei, the famous actor of [Know or Not]. This drama can be said to be one of the best costume dramas in the past ten years.
After the broadcast, it gained both data and reputation. It is another classic costume drama created by "Noon Sunshine" after "Nirvana in Fire".
However, [Nirvana in Fire] is dominated by men, and it tells the story of power struggles and the revenge of a prince.
[Know or Not] is mainly about women. The story takes place in the deep compound of a wealthy family. It tells the story of the growth, love and marriage of the girl Minglan in the official family of the Northern Song Dynasty.
When Gu Wei first laid out the IP rights, his main focus was on some films that he had the opportunity to star in. Later, when he remembered the novel [Do You Know], the film and television rights had been sold by the original author.
He didn't care at that time. Anyway, he had many good dramas in his hands, including this one. He didn't expect that the drama would eventually come back to him in this way.
[Do You Know] is really a very good TV series, and [Noon Sunshine] is Gu Wei’s former partner. People like Hou Hongliang and Kong Sheng have a good relationship with him.
But the key point is that this is a TV series with a female protagonist. The center of the entire drama revolves around the heroine "Sheng Minglan", who is the "eye" of the entire drama.
The male protagonist "Gu Tingye" who was invited to play the role of Gu Wei is really a secondary character.
Gu Wei has been in the industry for so many years, except for friendly guest appearances, he has always been an absolute standout.
When filming "Operation Mekong", the crew also changed the script specifically for him, changing the original second male lead "Fang Xinwu" to the first male lead.
Last year his own company's "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" was technically considered to be the main heroine, but the main line of that drama was actually the love between "Bai Qian" and "Ye Hua". The scenes are also very outstanding, and Gu Weiyi can barely make it through.
But [Know or Not] is different. This drama is completely the growth history of "Sheng Minglan", and love is only a part of it.
Gu Wei remembered that at the Magnolia Awards Ceremony last year, Kong Sheng told him that "Noon Sunshine" planned to prepare a costume TV series with a female protagonist similar to "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Now it seems that this is [Do you know it].
"Boss, are you planning to take on this drama?"
In the car coming out of the airport, Yang Dan saw Gu Wei throwing the other notebooks aside and leaving them alone [Do you know? 】This one asked with some uncertainty.
Gu Wei frowned and hesitated for two seconds.
“When will the filming of this drama start?”
“[Noon Sunshine] is planned for September in the second half of the year, and the female lead has been decided to be Zhao Liying”
Gu Wei nodded. Of course he knew this. He remembered that Kong Sheng had asked him what he thought of Zhao Liying.
“Let me think about it and give you a reply after a while.”
After returning to the crew, Gu Wei continued filming "Dear, Loved".
Because he took leave some time ago, he has more shooting tasks every day. From morning to night, he shoots various scenes in which he appears.
But Gu Wei didn't feel tired at all. After filming "The God of Medicine" and then coming back to film an idol drama, there was always a feeling that he couldn't let go.
It's like you obviously have a lot of strength, but you only need three points to do something. Although it will be very easy, it doesn't feel that fun.
He now also understands why many actors like to challenge complex and difficult roles. It is really satisfying for the actor to play such a role well.
