Chapter 679 I’m not green tea, and I’m not a good person either
According to the original novel, the story of [East Palace] takes place between Xiao Feng, the ninth princess of the Xiliang Kingdom, and Li Chengyin, the crown prince of the East Palace of the Central Plains.
The heroine Xiaofeng is the ninth princess of Xiliang, the daughter of the Dalan family, and is half Turkic and half Xiliang.
The so-called Central Plains Dynasty of the male protagonist Li Chengyin can be seen from the surname as the Li Tang Dynasty.
It doesn’t matter if the novel is written like this, but it would be a big problem if the whole film is based on the novel, because this story was originally made up by the author. If you try to apply it to real history, it is called "historical nihilism", and it did not happen. wars and conflicts, even fictitious ones are suspected of undermining national unity.
It seems exaggerated, but judging from the current review situation of domestic film and television dramas, this problem is very serious.
In the past, the standards for film and television dramas about history in the Mainland were relatively loose, but in recent years, the review has become more stringent.
For example, Zhou Xun and Huo Jianhua's version of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" went through many twists and turns before it could be broadcast on stars after the filming. This has something to do with the fact that the TV series tampered with real history.
The original version of [Donggong] was also removed from the shelves after being broadcast online for rectification. Later, many plot changes were revised and re-edited before it was re-released and even broadcast on stars.
Gu Wei's version simply changed the background of the story to the Toyo Dynasty, Danchi, and the Western Zhou Dynasty from the beginning. It was completely imaginary. In this way, there would not be too many large-scale scenes involving the two clans fighting and falling in love and killing each other. trouble.
The filming in Huairou went very quickly, and there were relatively few scenes here. It was mainly about shooting some indoor scenes and parts that required the use of a green screen studio.
About 10 days, the crew left the Huairou Film and Television Base and divided into two groups. One part was crew A led by director Li Muge, including the male and female protagonists and some staff members. They went straight to Dunhuang to shoot the first ten episodes of the TV series. The desert part of the Western Regions.
The other part, led by deputy director Zhao Liang, as crew B, went to Hengdian and gathered other actors to mainly shoot interior scenes in the TV series where there are no male or female protagonists, such as the part in the Toyo Chao Palace.
Dunhuang.
"The solitary smoke is straight in the desert, and the sun is setting in the long river" is what it says here.
The yellow sand and polished stone were born with the dust of history.
Dunhuang is the romantic moon at the end of the desert.
The scenery is beautiful, but the strong wind and dust are not so friendly to the crew for filming.
After filming a rivalry scene between the male and female protagonists, Gu Wei walked to the tent next to him to rest.
"Bah, bah, bah" Meng Ziyi, who was following her, also entered the tent, spitting out the sand in his mouth as he walked.
In the scene we just filmed, after she finished speaking her last line, a gust of wind blew over and sand went directly into her mouth.
Fortunately, Meng Ziyi is relatively professional, and it is not for nothing that he has been in the industry for so many years. He endured not making any moves, and the scene was considered normal.
"Here, rinse your mouth."
Gu Wei took a new bottle of mineral water and handed it over, and opened one himself and took a sip.
“Thank you~”
Meng Ziyi quickly took it and twisted it twice. He found that it was a little tight and looked at Gu Wei embarrassedly.
Gu Wei put down the water bottle in his hand and took it to help unscrew it.
"Well, I'm not green tea, I really can't unscrew it." I don't know how Meng Ziyi's brain circuit is developed, but he didn't forget to explain while handing over the water bottle.
Gu Wei almost spit out the water he had just barely had time to swallow.
“I know, you don’t have the IQ to be a green tea drinker”
Meng Ziyi curled his lips, took the water bottle and rinsed his mouth without daring to talk back.
"Brother, do you plan to return to Beijing to participate in the Harper's Bazaar Charity Night in a few days?"
October is about to enter, and the annual [Bazaar Charity Night] will be held again. At first, Gu Wei and Meng Ziyi were both invited.
“I’m not going. I’ll be filming [Eastern Palace] in the last month or two. There will be a lot of invitations to various parties before the end of the year.
I have a relatively important TV series to be broadcast in December. , it is indispensable to go on variety shows to promote in advance, and I will definitely ask for leave often"
[Bazaar Charity Night] This kind of evening party with relatively high domestic entertainment attention can only be regarded as useless to Gu Wei now. With his current reputation, he can't bear the exposure.
It doesn’t hurt to go there if you have time. If you don’t have time, you don’t have to ask for leave.
"December?" Meng Ziyi thought for a moment.
“It’s the one produced by Noon Sunshine [Do you know], right?”
Gu Wei smiled and nodded.
"The TV series that was filmed last year was finally scheduled to be broadcast at the end of December some time ago"
[No] After the post-production of this drama was completed, the final copyright transaction price set a record for the TV series copyright transaction price in recent years. The new high made Gu Wei really make a fortune.
In the first half of this year, the finished film of [Knowledge] has been released.
Produced by the boutique production company [Noon Sunshine], this costume TV series is a collaboration between Gu Wei, the most popular star in domestic entertainment, and Zhao Liying, the queen of ratings. When the copyright was sold, it caused a crazy competition among major TV stations.
When this TV series was approved, everyone knew that [Know or Not] was bound to be a hit. From the production team to the leading actors and actresses, all the conditions were almost fulfilled. Whichever year it was broadcast, it would basically lock in the " Drama King"!
By the time the film viewing session ended, all parties were more certain of this understanding.
So, after a period of fierce competition and various connections to find someone, the wealthy Mango Channel finally bought the exclusive premiere rights of [Zhifu] for a sky-high price of 900 million.
In fact, [Noon Sunshine] has a better relationship with Dragon TV and Beijing TV, but Mango TV gives too much.
In terms of the Internet, [Do you know] will be broadcast simultaneously on iQiyi, Tengxun Video, Youku Video, Mango TV, and YouTube. It can be said that it will be online on the entire Internet, and the brand will be sufficient.
And the total online copyright is as high as 550 million yuan.
[Do you know whether it should be green, fat, red and thin] earned a total of 1.45 billion in copyright fees, setting a new record for domestic TV drama copyright fees in recent years.
Behind this drama are "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", "Tian Sheng Chang Ge" and "Army Master Sima Yi" released this year, all of which have a total copyright of over 1 billion.
However, with the exception of "Grand Military Advisor Sima Yi", the results of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" and "Tian Sheng Chang Ge" are not ideal. It can be said that both TV stations and video platforms have lost money on these two dramas. .
As the lead actor and investor of "Know or Not", Gu Wei can get 30% of the total copyright fee - 435 million yuan, which can be said to be a huge profit.
From this we can also see why domestic film and television dramas currently pay stars so high, because the really popular dramas are really profitable.
[Do you know?] The total cost is 300 million yuan, and the current copyright fee is 1.45 billion yuan, making a huge profit of 1.15 billion yuan.
For a movie to make so much money, the box office must be at least 3 billion.
Of course, Mango Channel and the major online platforms that spent a sky-high price to purchase the copyright will not lose money. As long as [Know or Not] becomes popular, the money they spend will also be earned back on the heads of advertisers.
"Senior brother, the TV series you collaborated with Sister Liying is produced by [Noon Sunshine]. It will definitely be another popular national hit!
It is estimated to be another [Noon Sunshine]. Langya Bang】."
Meng Ziyi sighed.
She also knew Zhao Liying. When filming "The Legend of Chu Qiao", Meng Zi intended to play "Yuan Chun" and acted opposite Zhao Liying in the same cast.
The two of them can be considered ordinary friends.
"When will I have such a masterpiece, so that I can be very proud when I go out to introduce myself in the future?"
Gu Wei smiled.
"You are filming now, isn't our movie [East Palace]"
"Yes, if I act well, [East Palace] will not necessarily be worse than [Knowledge] when it is broadcast in the future!" With Wei's encouragement, Meng Ziyi became confident again.
Of course, most of her confidence is given by Gu Wei. They are all costume TV series starring Gu Wei, and [East Palace] will not be much different.
Gu Wei smiled and nodded without saying anything else.
In his opinion, although "East Palace" is also a very good film, and with the blessing of his fame, the results will not be different after it is broadcast in the future, there is still a certain gap compared with "Knowledge".
Time passed day by day, and the filming of [Donggong] in Dunhuang went relatively smoothly.
In the first ten episodes, Qu Xiaofeng and Li Chengyin went from acquaintance to falling in love and preparing for their wedding. The progress was very fast. It can be said that just looking at the previous episodes, "East Palace" is a unique sweet drama. Not an exaggeration.
These days of filming can be said to be the happiest days for Meng Ziyi. She follows the plot in the script every day and fights and bickers with Gu Wei in front of the camera, which makes her feel like she is having a love affair with her boss at her own expense. Feel.
Originally, Gu Wei was her idol before she debuted. Later, when she signed with another company, she also had a star-chasing mood. In the past, Meng Ziyi didn't show anything in front of Gu Wei, mainly because the status gap between the two was too big, and there were too many beauties around Gu Wei, so even if she meant something, she couldn't say it out, or even have the chance to express it.
Twice before, she finally plucked up the courage to invite her boss to her place, but she was rejected.
This time the two finally had time to be together for a long time, and they played the role of a couple.
Although she knew that there would be more sadistic scenes later, she just wanted to be sweet for now. As the saying goes, "I am happy here but I don't think about Shu". We will talk about the future later.
Night falls, under a beautiful maple tree, Gu Wei is dressed in blue and Meng Ziyi is dressed in red. They are about to shoot the sweetest scene in the front part of [East Palace] "Fireflies" kiss".
“It’s so beautiful. There is such a warm place on this ice sheet with lush water and grass.”
Gu Wei was taken to a beautiful maple tree by Meng Ziyi, surrounded by rivers.
“This is the most beautiful place in Danchi, with flowers blooming all year round.
Look, fireflies!”
Mencius pointed to the little bits of light flying in the sky, A look of surprise.
"You, Aweng, don't seem to like me very much." Gu Wei said with a hint of tea.
The Aweng he was talking about was Qu Xiaofeng's grandfather, the king of the Danchi clan, and the target he was deliberately approaching.
“Don’t worry, I, Aweng, don’t like people from the Central Plains.
But before long, he will definitely like you as much as I do!”
Mencius at this moment Yi Yi didn't think too much. It should be said that she had always felt that Gu Xiaowu, Li Chengyin's pseudonym, was a good person and had no sense of defensiveness against him.
"Gu Xiaowu, do you still remember to promise me three things?" Meng Ziyi turned his head and deliberately mentioned the previous agreement between the two of them.
"Of course I remember, tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"The first thing, I want you to help me catch a hundred fireflies." Meng Ziyi raised a hand and said innocently.
"What's the problem? Just wait!"
Not long after Gu Wei agreed, he came over with a group of fireflies.
Of course, there are no fireflies or anything like that. This part requires special effects in post-production. What Gu Wei is holding is just an LED light, but the actor’s sense of belief is extremely powerful. Now there are two lights. The firefly in the human heart.
Gu Wei and Meng Ziyi stood opposite each other. The camera photographed the two of them from the side. Gu Wei put the LED light in Meng Ziyi's hand and carefully explained:
"Be careful, don't let them run away."
“Wow! So beautiful.”
Meng Ziyi looked at the lamp in his hand, as if it were really a group of beautiful fireflies.
The camera zoomed in, Gu Wei looked at Meng Ziyi with love, and then suddenly kissed her.
Meng Ziyi was a little surprised at first, but because he also had feelings for Gu Wei in his heart, he did not resist at all.
After a passionate kiss, the two slowly separated. Gu Wei held each other's shoulders with both hands. Meng Ziyi looked up at Gu Wei, looking as pitiful as a deer.
Then, the two people's faces slowly came closer again, Gu Wei lowered his head slightly, and under the sky full of fireflies, the two kissed passionately again.
The surrounding cameras rotated around the two people, and they continued to kiss for nearly two minutes before the director shouted "Ka".
“Very good, this shot has passed, call it a day!”
After Gu Wei heard the sound, he slowly raised his head.
At this time, Meng Ziyi's face was a little red, still immersed in the affectionate kiss just now, his closed eyes slowly opened, and he looked at Gu Wei with a slightly blurred look.
"Performing very well~" Gu Wei encouraged with a smile.
"Yeah~" Meng Ziyi agreed softly, not as fussy as usual, looking at Gu Wei with a shy little look.
This is the second kiss scene since the filming started.
The first scene was of the two of them in the water. It looked very romantic, but the kiss was really uncomfortable.
Today’s scene was full of atmosphere, the kiss was both beautiful and romantic, and the prelude was so foreshadowing that Meng Ziyi was immersed in it.
As the saying goes, you are involved in the drama. I like Gu Wei, and the character Qu Xiaofeng also likes Li Chengyin, so I just pretended to be myself.
Looking at it now, the effect is indeed good. The previous dialogue was NG twice, and the kiss scene was simply done once.
Meng Ziyi regretted why he behaved so well.
In the evening, the crew hotel.
After Gu Wei washed up and came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Going to the door and opening the door, Meng Ziyi stood outside the door timidly.
She was wearing a navel-baring outfit, with a white bra on the upper body, fan shorts on the lower body, and a pink transparent jacket on the outside.
Her hair was tied up high, and she looked over with a pair of big watery eyes on her beautiful face.
Gu Wei looked up and down, and paused for a moment on Meng Ziyi's snow-white chest. He had not noticed it before, but he did not expect that this elementary school girl had a lot of money.
"Senior brother, there are two scenes tomorrow that I am not familiar with. I want to come over and ask you for advice."
Meng Ziyi looked at Gu Wei after taking a shower, and his eyes were a little straight.
A white bath towel was draped around her body, with a big V on her chest, revealing the strong muscles inside. She swallowed secretly.
Gu Wei smiled and let Meng Ziyi in directly.
He knew exactly what the other party was thinking, and he was most familiar with the process of reading scripts at night.
Originally, he had no idea about this junior sister in the company, he simply regarded her as an employee.
Otherwise, after so many years of contracting, Gu Wei would have completely eaten up the other party if he wanted to unspoken rules.
But if Meng Ziyi took the initiative, he couldn't refuse. After all, Gu Wei was not a good person.
After entering the room and sitting down, Gu Wei poured a glass of water for Meng Ziyi and then came to her side.
"Ziyi, you are from the Northeast, right?"
"Yes, my family is from Ji Gaoguanchun." Meng Ziyi picked up the water glass and took a sip to relieve her nervousness. She finally encouraged her. It was only after he had the courage to knock on Gu Wei's door.
"No wonder you are so tall~" After that, he added, "You have such a good figure~"
Meng Ziyi's official height is 170cm, but Gu Wei thinks she should be taller It should be a little higher, maybe a centimeter or two.
It is an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry that if an actress’ actual height is less than 160cm, she will report her height as above 160cm, and if she is taller than 170cm, she will try to report her height as less than 170cm.
The same goes for male celebrities. Whether they are tall or short, try to get closer to 180.
“It’s not too high, she’s a sweet girl~” Meng Ziyi said coquettishly.
When she mentioned sweet girl Gu Wei, she thought of Zhou Xi and Tian Xiwei in the company. These two are the real sweet girls.
Well, Meng Ziyi, she is considered a "big sweet girl"!
After the two sat down, no one mentioned the drama again, but they chatted about each other.
As the night progressed, the conversation between the two gradually disappeared, and the room became quiet, leaving only the two people sitting together looking at each other.
Meng Ziyi looked at Gu Wei's face getting closer and closer, and the sound of his breathing gradually became more rapid, which was particularly clear in the quiet room.
Gu Wei raised his hands to support the other person's soft shoulders, just like in the scene shot at night.
Then he slowly lowered his head and kissed her. Her delicate lips were like two elastic jelly, very delicious.
Of course Gu Wei has to take the initiative when it comes to this. He is not Liu Xiahui. There is no reason not to eat the delicacies delivered to his door.
After two kisses, Meng Ziyi's response became more and more enthusiastic. She took off her pink coat at some point, and then slowly fell on the sofa.
