Chapter 592 Taking a step back rationally and soberly
In mid-December, the last scene was shot, and Gu Wei was officially finished.
He joined the team at the end of September and has been filming for less than 3 months now.
However, although the male lead has been finalized, the filming of [Know or Not] will continue.
After all, this drama is based on Minglan as the main character, and there are also many supporting roles. According to the shooting plan, the crew will not be able to complete filming until February next year.
During the day on the set, everyone held a small closing ceremony for Gu Wei.
In the evening, the crew arranged another closing banquet. Hou Hongliang also came back one day early to celebrate with director Zhang Zhangzhou, screenwriters Zeng Lu, Wu Tong, and the main creative team.
After having a full meal, Gu Wei returned to the hotel room with the support of Zhao Liying.
"The director and Mr. Hou are really, they are bullying you alone"
After entering the house, Gu Wei sat on the sofa to rest, Zhao Li was like a little daughter-in-law, burning Pour some hot water into a cup, find a jar of honey from somewhere, add a spoonful of it, blow on it and then bring it to him.
"Haha, they have learned from the past.
When I was filming [Nirvana in Fire], Mr. Hou and Director Kong were both drunk to the ground by me. With experience, they will naturally drink together again"
Gu Wei took the water glass and took a sip slowly. A stream of heat entered his stomach and he felt much better.
"You should also pay attention. Although you are young now, drinking too much alcohol will eventually harm your body."
Gu Wei put down the water glass and reached out to hold Zhao Liying in his arms.
"Don't make trouble, I'll put the bath water for you.
You smell like alcohol, drink this glass of water and go take a bath."
"Yes, madam." Gu Wei smiled. He took a sip of fragrance on Zhao Liying's fair face and then let her go.
After a while, Gu Wei finished drinking the honey water in his hand, and Zhao Liying came out of the bathroom.
“What are you pulling me for?”
"You have to wash yourself in a while anyway, why don't we do it together to save time and water resources"
"I've convinced you." Zhao Liying, a small one, gave up her resistance when Gu Wei held her in her arms. I had no choice but to go into the bathroom with him.
Gu Wei washed away the smell of alcohol, and Zhao Liying became fragrant and soft after washing.
Soon the two came out of the bathroom and entered the bedroom.
“Are you going back to the capital tomorrow?”
After the second round, Zhao Liying rested her head tiredly on Gu Wei's arm, sliding her small hands back and forth on his strong chest.
“Yes, the romance movie I am starring in will be released at the end of the month, so I will go back and promote it.
The company has two movies to be released before the Spring Festival, and there are many things waiting for me. "Go and deal with it"
"Will you go to the Spring Festival Gala this year?"
"I won't go. The Spring Festival Gala program team sent me an invitation last month, but I declined.
< br>
After attending school for three years, the Spring Festival Gala means little to me, and it consumes too much energy.
But I promised to hold their New Year’s Eve concert on Mango Stage this year.”
“What about you, do you have any plans after filming [Do you know]? "Gu Wei grabbed the little hand on his body and slowly clasped his fingers together.
"I plan to rest for a while."
"Oh?
This is nothing like what our workaholic Ying Bao said." Gu Wei was a little surprised.
"Unlike you, I started from a very low level and had no choice but to work hard in filming.
So since my debut, my whole person has been running at full capacity like a clockwork with high energy.
I need to seize every hard-won opportunity, so I have been working hard.
Luckily, I got here step by step.
But it is indeed very tiring. If the spring is too tight, it may break. It is time to adjust and take a rest.
Not only the mind, but the body also needs some rest. Just like what you said the other day, the scars on your back have to be dealt with when you have time.
And I plan to think carefully about the next step.
I feel like I have come to an end in the field of ancient puppet theater, and maybe it’s time to consider a transformation.”
“It’s a good thing to try more different types of roles.”
Zhao Liying put her little face against his chest, and Gu Wei lifted her hair with some pity.
When she first debuted, everyone called her the female version of Bao Qiang. Although Zhao Liying’s starting point was not as low as Bao Qiang, she really worked her way up from the bottom.
It doesn’t matter that her family conditions are not good and she has no connections. She is not from a major and her round face is not a beauty in the traditional sense.
These shortcomings are all stumbling blocks on the road to fame.
But Zhao Liying relied on her perseverance, determination to never admit defeat, and a little bit of luck to overcome all shortcomings and reach the top position of domestic entertainment actresses today.
To be honest, for female celebrities in the entertainment industry, if they want to become famous or even become a front-line star, external conditions are secondary, and they mainly have to look at themselves.
Those who think that female celebrities are famous because of unspoken rules and sleep with directors, producers and even financial sponsors can only say that they are too simple-minded.
Wang Sicong once said in an interview program that domestic performance schools graduate about 100,000 college students every year.
If there are half and half men and women, there will be 50,000 girls.
Originally, those who would be able to major in acting must be above average in terms of appearance. Let’s pick out the best-looking fifth, 10,000 people.
Judging from the current income situation of domestic entertainment stars, any third- or fourth-tier star can have an annual income of more than 10 million. Among these 10,000 beauties, there are definitely not a few who can accept unspoken rules and pay for fame.
This is still one year, and every year the same number of beauties graduate from school and enter the entertainment industry.
If everyone can accept the unspoken rules, who can stand out among these tens of thousands of beauties?
There are only a few dozen truly famous female celebrities in the entertainment industry that the audience can remember, and only a handful can reach the level of Zhao Liying and Yang Mi.
According to data released by Forbes Celebrity List this year, Zhao Liying’s annual income is 190 million yuan, and Yang Mi’s is 200 million yuan, making her a proper billionaire.
Can you really get ahead by being good-looking and sleeping with someone?
Talent, character, hard work, and opportunity are the foundation for success.
It’s not that there are no unspoken rules, but there are more at the bottom. Many of the cast coordinators, assistant directors, and assistant directors have to spend more money than big stars like Gu Wei. It’s said that every night It’s not an exaggeration to be a groom.
All they can decide are some inconsequential supporting roles or even minor roles, but even then there are a lot of young girls who are willing to pay.
When it comes to choosing the real male and female protagonists and important supporting roles in a drama, the first thing to consider must be the actor’s reputation and acting skills. Unless the background is very big like Da Tiantian, otherwise you want to rely on unspoken rules to get into big productions. The male and female protagonists are still very difficult.
The most practical point is that the current investment in film and television dramas is too large.
For example, Ni Ni told Gu Wei that in the movie "Tiansheng Changge" she starred in, the salary for her and Chen Kun alone was as high as 150 million yuan, and the total investment in the TV series was as high as 400 million yuan.
Which investor or producer is willing to risk losing hundreds of millions to use a heroine who comes up with unspoken rules?
So whether the entertainment industry is chaotic or not, the middle and lower classes are indeed more chaotic.
Really famous actors, stars, directors, screenwriters, and producers are all busy making money.
After filming a movie, you may earn a few million, or earn tens of millions or even tens of millions. With this kind of money, what good-looking girl is there?
The two of them just stayed there quietly, without anyone speaking.
Zhao Liying was lying on Gu Wei's body, but her eyes were looking at another place blankly, wondering what she was thinking.
"What a pity." For a long time, she muttered two words.
"What's the pity?" Gu Wei's hand gently stroked the other person's hair. The room was extremely quiet, and he could hear it even if it was very quiet.
"It's a pity that you can only be Gu Wei, and you can't be the real Gu Tingye." Zhao Liying raised her head slightly and looked at Gu Wei's handsome face, but what flashed through her mind was his appearance in the drama.
She originally felt the real touch of her body while lying on Gu Wei's chest, but now it seemed a bit unreal.
"Why not? You said before that I am Gu Tingye's best candidate."
Zhao Liying shook her head slightly.
"You will never be the Gu Tingye who is devoted to Minglan. Of course, I will not be the Minglan who can run a family seriously.
In fact, we are really similar in some places"
Gu Wei understood what Zhao Liying meant. He didn't speak, just looked at the other party quietly.
“We are all too sober and rational, knowing exactly what we want and what we don’t want.
We will always weigh the pros and cons, and never let other things affect us when it’s time to make a decision. "Zhao Liying continued.
"You said it, and it seems to be true, but there is nothing wrong with it.
No matter when, rationality is always easier to succeed than emotion."
Zhao Liying nodded slightly.
"So I can't change myself for you, and you won't either. In the end, we love ourselves more."
The two people talked about it, but it was cloudy and misty. Each understands what the other means.
Gu Wei and Zhao Liying, who were originally only good friends, let nature take its course and broke through the last obstacle during the filming of "Know or Not".
Due to filming, the two of them devoted themselves to their roles, truly acting like a couple.
However, this situation came to an end with the completion of Gu Wei.
Zhao Liying woke up immediately. She knew that Gu Wei could not change his playboy behavior because of her, and she could not accept this kind of shared love.
In the final analysis, although she likes Gu Wei, as she just said, she still loves herself the most.
And unlike Nazha and Zhang Tianai, who were solely supported by Gu Wei from the beginning of their fortunes, Zhao Liying was able to get to where she is today because of herself.
Emotion is the icing on the cake for her, not a necessity.
She is a top female star in domestic entertainment and a billionaire. She has no need to share a man with others.
Zhao Liying lowered her head again and pressed her face against his chest.
Gu Wei slowly stroked the other person's hair with one hand and looked at the people around him, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.
From this point of view, as a top female star who is also dedicated to her career, Zhao Liying is more sober than Yang Mi.
When "The Legend of Ancient Swords" was finalized, Da Mimi, who was also cast in the film, expressed the intention of having an in-depth relationship with Gu Wei, but Zhao Liying was extremely realistic.
I am not troubled by my emotions at all and always make the decision that is best for myself.
No wonder she can succeed. If a person can make judgments without being affected by any emotions, success will only happen sooner or later.
Of course, such people are also terrible.
"Aren't you tired of being like this?"
"Fortunately, I come from a humble background. If I want to stand out and succeed, I always have to pay more.
When I was in my early 20s, I also had a fantasy I have been in love, but compared to career, the so-called love is still too illusory.
I gradually got used to it, and I didn’t think much of it.
It’s not a multiple-choice question, love and. Bread? I will definitely choose bread without hesitation..."
Gu Wei's warm hands slowly slid down Zhao Liying's black hair, passing by her slender neck, delicate and smooth back, and finally placed on the scar on her spine.
“Although my abilities are limited, I can still help if you have anything in the entertainment industry.
Or if you have any confusion or can’t decide, I can help you. Opinions.
I am confident that I have some opinions on most things."
"Of course I know," Zhao Liying said with a smile, feeling the warmth of the big hand behind her.
"It sounds like a failure. After being in the entertainment industry for so many years, I don't seem to have many friends.
So I will definitely cherish you as a big star friend." As she spoke, she stood up, leaned her head slightly, and gently A light kiss.
How could Gu Wei accept her teasing like this?
He stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Liying's face, leaned her head towards her, and kissed her intently, then turned over and pressed the other person under her body.
When Gu Wei woke up early the next morning, the beauty beside him had disappeared.
I sat up and stretched, thinking about the chat last night, I felt a little disappointed.
People are so mean sometimes. It is obvious that they are a scumbag and have no intention of taking charge, but the other person is too sober and unfeeling, which makes them feel pity.
But small emotions are fleeting. Just like Zhao Liying said, Gu Wei's favorite thing has always been himself. No matter how good he is to the people around him, he will never have no reservations.
Took the phone from the bedside to check the time and found a piece of paper beside it.
Gu Wei brought it over. The font on it was neat and elegant.
"I won't say goodbye to you since I'm going to the theater.
There is honey and boiled hot water I left in the living room. Don't forget to drink a cup after getting up. It is good for your health.
< br>If possible, drink in moderation. If not, you can pretend to be drunk. I think this should be easy for you.
After all, your health is the most important thing.
Once again, take care of yourself. Wei, it's still so pleasant to work with you, just like four years ago in [Shanshan is coming]
I have a hunch that our film "Knowledge" will definitely be a big hit, even surpassing my previous best film "Flower Thousand Bones".
If possible, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you again
Well, talking too much makes me look like a loser.
Let’s go out to eat together when we are not busy.
Your treat.”
Gu Wei looked at the paper in his hand and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
He seemed to be able to think of Zhao Liying's appearance when she wrote these words.
He used to write these things to others, but it was really strange to receive one written to him for the first time.
Put the letter aside, put on your clothes and walk out of the bedroom.
There is boiled hot water in the living room and a jar of honey beside it.
Gu Wei slowly prepared the honey water and drank a glass.
The sunlight from outside the house shines in, making the living room bright.
Not long after, the assistant knocked on the door and came in to pack Gu Wei's clothes and luggage.
"Boss, should we go directly to the airport later, or go to the set to say hello before leaving?" Yang Chaoyue packed up all the clothes in the closet, folded them one by one and put them in the box.
“Go directly to the airport~”
