Chapter 529 Only Talking about Love
After the show ended in the evening, Gu Wei took Yang Zi, Xiao Zhan and Jiang Peiyao to a nearby restaurant for a meal.
After eating and drinking, Yang Zi touched her round belly and sighed, with a frown on her face.
“I eat so much again, I will probably gain 5 pounds after filming this movie.
Yesterday my agent even said that I have gained weight recently”
[Dear, beloved] After turning on the phone, Gu Wei often took a few people out for dinner when he had nothing to do at night.
When the agent is not present, Yang Zi eats a lot every time.
Gu Wei picked up the water glass at hand and took a sip, then picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth.
"No one forced you to eat, and we all went out to eat together. Why don't Xiao Zhan and Peiyao gain weight?"
"Are you talking about me?
Every time we come out, you will eat the most! "Yang Zi was not angry.
"But I'm not fat. I can eat all kinds of food, but I don't gain weight. Are you angry or not?" Gu Wei raised his eyebrows at Yang Zi.
Looking at Yang Zi's angry and unwilling expression, Xiao Zhan and Jiang Peiyao, who were sitting on the other side, also laughed
They were used to the daily bickering between Gu Wei and Yang Zi.
Yang Zi glared at Gu Wei and then at the other two people, then focused on Xiao Zhan
"Why do I feel that you are the one who eats the least among us? You are born with such a small appetite. It's so enviable." Control your carbohydrate intake," Xiao Zhan shrugged.
“Ah?
Aren’t you hungry?”
“Of course you are, but you just get used to it. I am an idol, and the company usually has very strict requirements on body shape management. It’s a very important one.”
After coming out of the hotel, the four of us got into the car. Gu Wei's nanny car had enough space, so we didn't need to separate.
The assistant has already booked the nearest cinema for them.
Nowadays, when Gu Wei goes out to watch movies with others, he usually reserves the theater, which is convenient and trouble-free, and he doesn’t have to worry about being recognized.
Today is a working day, and there are not too many people in the cinema at night.
Gu and Wei all wore masks and hats. Although they looked a little strange, they didn't receive much attention.
【Wrestling! Dad] is longer than an ordinary movie, 160 minutes in total, but the wonderful plot made the four people watching the movie not impatient.
The screening ended and the subtitles began to scroll on the big screen. Gu Wei raised his hands and stretched. After sitting for nearly three hours, his body was a little stiff.
The eyes of the two little girls next to them, Yang Zi and Jiang Peiyao, became moist while watching the movie, and their eyes are still red now.
"The country in the world that is least afraid of Hollywood is India. Hollywood blockbusters have never been able to occupy the Indian film market."
Gu Wei looked at Yang Zi's pretty little face and said.
"Because Indian local movies are good?"
Yang Zi just finished watching [Dangal! Dad], it was the time when I had the best impression of Indian movies.
"Other countries also have excellent local films, but they can't stop Hollywood." Gu Wei shook his head.
“Because India has Bollywood?” Jiang Peiyao replied tentatively.
Gu Wei continued to shake his head.
Seeing the curious expressions on the three people's faces, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Because of cultural habits.
The Hollywood movie was shown in India for a long time, and the Indian audience couldn't sit still and asked why they weren't singing yet."
He finished All three of them laughed, because the touching emotions caused by watching the movie dissipated in an instant.
It was getting late. The four of them got off the elevator to the parking lot, got in the car and prepared to go back to the hotel.
"This movie is really a rare masterpiece. Aamir Khan is indeed a national treasure actor in India, and his performance is so good."
In the car, Yang Zi sighed with some reminiscence.
“Indeed, [Dangal! Dad] can be called a classic in terms of concept, story structure, shooting techniques and actors’ performances.”
Gu Wei admires Amir very much. Khan, this person either has an extreme passion for his career as an actor, or he is a ruthless person with great self-control.
It is said that during the filming of the movie, Aamir Khan gained 28 kilograms of weight in a short period of time to perform the character's fat state at the age of 55.
Later, in order to fit the body shape of the 29-year-old wrestler, he spent another five months. Not only did he lose 25 kilograms of fat, he also learned wrestling skills and developed a devilish figure with eight-pack abs.
“Actually, there are many stories like [Dangal! Dad] in our country. The touching Chinese figures selected every year and their deeds are worthy of being filmed into film and television works.
Domestic There is actually no shortage of good stories in the film and television industry, and there is plenty of filmable material. The key is that the filmmakers are unwilling to make them and they can’t make them well."
"It cannot be generalized. Domestic artistic films are actually pretty good. The box office has always been unsatisfactory." As he said this, Yang Zi's voice softened.
She also doesn’t understand why domestic movies can’t be like [Wrestling!] even though it’s a feature film. Dad] sells like that.
"Haha, it's still a human problem. If you make a good film, you have to add some commercial elements, so that it can sell well.
There are very few domestic film and television drama creators who can balance artistry and commerciality at the same time.
And now domestic film and television dramas have actually fallen into a strange circle.
Most creators seem to be unable to understand such things as ideals, dedication, sense of mission, etc. No matter what type of drama they are filming, they are not. Always thinking about falling in love and having a partner
It seems that there is no other emotion in this world except love.
It’s normal to film idol dramas and romantic dramas. Can you imagine being in [Drestle! Dad] Including a love scene in a movie like this?
If a domestic screenwriter and director were to make this film, they would probably let Aamir Khan's daughter fall in love. With the encouragement of her boyfriend, she would eventually become an excellent female wrestler and win the championship because of love. ”
Gu Wei is too aware of the urinary nature of these domestic film and television creators, just like the movie [I am a mountain] that he watched in his original time and space.
The crew told the story of Principal Zhang Guimei’s founding of a girls’ school. The inner motivation is directly linked to the deceased husband. Where does this put the spiritual beliefs of Principal Zhang?
"What you said seems to be correct." Yang Zi thought for a while and found that most of the people in the domestic entertainment industry nowadays. Film and television works are indeed what Gu Wei said.
"But this thing is determined by the market. The audience likes to watch this, so everyone shoots it like this." She believes that love and love are normal, and there will be supply only when there is demand.
“Haha~ Our company is filming a reality-themed drama film, which is commercial, but the core is very pure.
There is no love or love, it simply reflects the greatness and kindness of human nature.
That's the movie I took leave to shoot.
Watch it when it comes out, I won't let you down." Gu Wei feels that [I'm Not a Medicine God] will definitely not compare. 【Wrestling! Dad] Bad.
"You, a big star, are willing to condescend to be a supporting actor in a movie with a special appearance. I will definitely watch it."
Listening to the chat between the two, Xiao Zhan and Jiang Peiyao also expressed curiosity. gaze.
"The movie is expected to be released next year, and I will invite you to the premiere then."
"Okay, it's settled."
In the hotel room.
After Gu Wei came back, he took a shower, opened his laptop, checked some emails from the company, and prepared to select important replies.
After doing some work for about half an hour, Gu Wei closed the computer and was about to take a rest, when the doorbell suddenly came to his mind.
"It's so late, who could it be?"
Gu Wei frowned slightly and was confused. Could it be that his agent or assistant had trouble with him?
On the set of "Dear, Beloved", he couldn't think of anyone who would knock on his door at night.
Yang Zi must have slept like a pig at this time, and if she had anything to do, she would call Gu Wei first.
Going to the door with doubts, Gu Wei opened the door.
Jiang Peiyao, wearing a ponytail and the same blue jumper she had worn when going out to dinner at night, stood timidly outside the door.
She looked at Gu Wei with her big eyes, and her chubby face was a little cute.
"Pei Yao, what's wrong with you?
Is there something wrong at this late hour?"
Gu Wei never expected that it would be his elementary school girl Jiang Peiyao. She didn't seem to think so. The girl who takes shortcuts.
"Senior brother, I'm sorry to disturb your rest so late. I have something to talk to you about alone." Jiang Peiyao said a little embarrassed.
"Come in and talk"
Gu Wei turned aside to let her into the house, and then went to pour a glass of warm water.
"Thank you, senior brother."
Jiang Peiyao took it and took a sip, then put the cup on the coffee table in front of her.
"Tell me, what's the matter that you didn't talk about at the dinner party before, so you had to come to me alone?"
Gu Wei asked, sitting on the chair opposite her.
He also saw that the other party was indeed in trouble.
“That’s it, brother~
After filming [Glory] last year, I have been in contact with Oda.
She told me that after [Glory] was completed, You signed her to your company."
Gu Wei nodded.
"Yes, although Xiaotian is young, he has a good foundation and is a good seedling. He should be able to develop well in the future."
Gu Wei smiled as he said this.
"Besides, she was very persistent in signing the contract under my name, so I couldn't refuse her at that time."
Having said that, Gu Wei also somewhat understood the purpose of Jiang Peiyao's visit.
“You don’t think so too.”
"Yes, yes, yes"
Jiang Peiyao's little head kept nodding like a chicken eating rice.
"I wanted to tell you, senior brother, last year. I was embarrassed for a moment and missed it. Xiaotian told me about her signing and I regretted not telling you earlier.
I am a first-year graduate student majoring in acting at Beijing Film Academy this year, but I hardly have any classes at ordinary times. I can devote myself to acting, and the school also supports it
Although I have never played any particularly important roles before, my acting skills are pretty good, and I will work harder in the future.”
Gu Wei looked at Jiang Peiyao opposite, who looked nervous, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"It turns out that this is really the case. Why did you come to me alone?"
"It's always embarrassing to say it in front of others~"
As Jiang Peiyao lowered her head to take the She took another sip from the water glass. Although she felt that Gu Wei had a high chance of agreeing, she was still a little uneasy when it came to the matter.
“Nothing to be embarrassed about, Peiyao, if you want to join our company, can I still disagree?”
Gu Wei agreed happily.
He has worked with this elementary school girl twice, and both of them have good acting skills and character. Even if they don't become famous in the future, it won't be difficult to work in the second or third tier.
Besides, my company's resources are still in a state of overflow, and I am fully capable of supporting newcomers.
"I'll tell the company later and a dedicated person will contact you to sign a contract."
Gu Wei's reply surprised Jiang Peiyao, and her mental state was immediately different from when she first entered the door. , and immediately became excited.
After thanking him, she took Gu Wei and talked for a long time about things at the Beijing Film Academy.
Gu Wei also patiently chatted with her.
"It's getting late, go back and rest, you have a shooting task tomorrow"
After a while, Gu Wei looked at the time prompt on his phone and said.
Jiang Peiyao was a little reluctant to give up. She was still in the excitement of getting her wish, and it was probably difficult to fall asleep when she went back.
But after Gu Wei said this, she had no choice but to get up reluctantly.
The two walked to the door, Jiang Peiyao turned around and looked at Gu Wei.
"Senior brother, thank you."
"Thank you for what. After I become your boss, you have to work for me to make money. It is only I who thank you."
Jiang Peiyao's A bright smile appeared on his face and he winked mischievously.
"Then please take care of me, boss. No matter what you do, I can do it."
After saying that, I realized the ambiguity in my words, felt a little embarrassed, and turned away shyly.
Gu Wei smiled and shook his head, turned around and went back to the house.
