Chapter 766: Starring Candidates
The next morning, Zhou Ming, who had exerted a lot of energy last night, was still asleep in bed, and the sound of the doorbell woke her up.
Opening his sleepy eyes, he slowly sat up from the bed.
Looking around, she was the only one on the bed, and realized that Gu Wei had already gotten up early and left for the company.
The doorbell was still ringing, Zhou Xi rubbed his eyes, feeling a little irritated.
"Who is it? It's so noisy early in the morning that I can't sleep well."
Get out of bed, put on slippers, walked to the entrance hall, glanced at the door first, and then opened the door.
"Sister Meng, you came early enough, and you didn't even say hello to me in advance!"
Standing at the door was Meng Ziyi, who had played mahjong all night last night.
The other party came in, changed his shoes, walked inside in a familiar manner, and lay down on the sofa in the living room without any image.
"Is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry!"
Zhou Ming crossed his arms and looked helplessly at Meng Ziyi, squatting down and taking out a snack box from under the coffee table.
"Let's see what you want to eat. There are leftovers from last night in the refrigerator. Do you want to heat them up and eat them?"
Meng Ziyi looked through them and tore open a bag. Bread, put a straw in the milk, and opened two snacks.
“I can just eat this, hot food is too troublesome.”
"You didn't just come back from playing mahjong, right?"
"Yes, it just ended.
Didn't I say I would come over to find you yesterday, so I came over as soon as I finished playing.
How about it, is it interesting?”
Meng Ziyi said while eating.
"Hey, you don't know how good I was at the mahjong table last night. I killed all three of them and defeated all three of them miserably!
It's a pity that you didn't come."
"Why should I go?
Let you win against me?"
"Hehe, we have such a good relationship, how can I let it go? I will definitely not mess with you." Meng Ziyi said with a smile. .
"Eh? Is this your new bag?"
The two were chatting, and Meng Ziyi suddenly saw the new LV bag placed on the side of the coffee table.
She reached out and took it, a light blue women's croissant with the tag still on it.
“This is LV’s new product this year. It seems to be this style at the fashion week at the beginning of the year.
It’s still brand new, it couldn’t have been given to you by someone else.”
< br>
As she spoke, she raised her head and glanced at Zhou Ming with a gossipy look on her face.
"Is it a gift from the boy in the class who is chasing you?
Now that you have accepted the gift, are you going to give it a chance?"
Zhou Ming sat down. Meng Ziyi was beside her and took the bag in her hand.
“What? I bought this myself when I was filming in Wanwan. What a chance.
I told you before that although there are boys chasing me in the class, I am not interested in them. They are just a bunch of brats."
Zhou Ming's mind was spinning very fast. She didn't want Sister Meng to know that she was chasing after me. Things between bosses
She knew that the two first sisters in the company, Naza and Zhang Tianai, had a close relationship with Gu Wei. Sister Meng was not someone who could hide things. If she told them, she would be in trouble in the future. It’s not easy to stay in the company.
Sister Meng didn’t have any doubts, looking at the bag in Zhou Ming’s hand.
“This style and color match you quite well. ”
Not long after, Meng Ziyi finished the small bag of bread in his hand, padded his stomach a little, and then hugged Zhou Xi next to him.
"Did I disturb your sleep when I came here?"
"Nonsense, I was sleeping just in time and you woke up!"
Zhou Ming replied angrily road.
Meng Ziyi smiled and hugged her.
"Then how about I sleep with you? It just so happens that I also need to catch up on my sleep."
As he said this, he pulled Zhou Ming towards the bedroom.
Zhou Ming was helplessly at her mercy.
The two have a good relationship, live close to each other, and are both alone in the capital.
We usually go shopping and eat together when we are not working, and occasionally sleep together at night, sometimes at Zhou Ming's house, sometimes at Meng Ziyi's house.
"What does it smell like?" Entering the bedroom, Meng Ziyi seemed to smell something.
Zhou Ming's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't continue. Instead, she took out a set of pajamas from the closet next to her and changed the subject.
“Take off your clothes and put on my pajamas!”
Meng Ziyi, who had played mahjong all night, was already very sleepy at this time. After listening to Zhou Ming’s words, she didn’t care. Feeling uncomfortable, he took off his clothes three times and lay down on the bed, pulling the quilt over himself.
Zhou Ming was relieved when he saw Meng Ziyi closing his eyes and falling asleep.
She turned on the air conditioner and set it to ventilation mode, then climbed into bed and lay next to Meng Ziyi.
【Wei Tianxia】Company.
Gu Wei is looking at the script of [Qing Yu Nian 2].
Original Time and Space [Celebrating More Than Years] was produced by Tengxun Video and Xinli Media. When it was first filmed, it was not particularly favored by the platform and was only an A-level production.
This is not surprising. Zhang Ruoyun is not a popular star. Although he has been in the industry for many years, he is not a front-line actor in the industry.
The reputation of the novel "Qing Yu Nian" in the online literary world is not top-notch. Compared with the real top IPs such as "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Tomb Raiders Notes", there is a huge gap in reputation.
So at the time of filming, not to mention the sequel, even the first part was not particularly well funded.
Later, [Qing Yu Nian] unexpectedly became a hit online, and the platform made a lot of money, and the actors in the show all reaped the dividends from the TV series.
As investors, Tengxun, Xinli, etc. also started preparing for the sequel.
It took five years for the second part to be released to the audience due to issues such as actor schedules, funding issues, the original author's opinions, script creation progress, capital operations, and the producer's expectations.
Nowadays, Gu Wei's version does not have these messy problems. "Qing Yu Nian" was the most valued top costume drama in the industry when it started filming.
And according to the earliest plan, filming of the second part will begin after the first part is aired online this year.
"Has the script of [Qing Yu Nian 2] been sent to director Sun Hao?"
Gu Wei asked, looking at Yang Liwen in front of the script.
“I have already given it, and Director Sun also asked the crew when the filming will be started?”
"Maybe in the second half of the year.
Next month I will join the team to film "Send You a Little Red Flower", and then "My Hometown and Me" and the film adaptation directed by Rao Xiaozhi.
Probably the schedule will be available after August."
Yang Liwen nodded.
“I will communicate with Director Sun later and prepare according to this time”
After talking to Yang Liwen about [Qing Yu Nian 2], the other party reported to him some recent company affairs.
“According to your request, boss, the company has communicated with Blueberry Channel and they have agreed to let Tian Xiwei become a regular guest in [Running Man Season 4] this year.” “Who are the guests in [Running Man] this year? People?”
“In addition to the three old people Li Chen, baby, and Zheng Kai, four new people have been added this year: Sha Yi, Cai Xukun, Guo Qilin and Tian Xiwei”
Gu Wei frowned.
"[New Year's Run] This year is another big change. I remember there were a few new regular guests last year, but have they all been replaced this year?"
"Last year's new guests were Zhu Yawen, Wang Yanlin, Huang Xuxi, The four people, Song Yuqi, may be because the program's performance was not good and the ratings of "Running Season 3" dropped significantly, so the program team changed several people."
When it came to this, Yang Liwen hesitated.
“I heard that Song Yuqi originally hoped to continue participating in this season of [Running Man], but because we included Tian Xiwei and there were already two female guests, Song Yuqi had no choice but to leave. "
Gu Wei understood that what Yang Liwen meant was that Xiaotian squeezed Song Yuqi away by relying on the company's connections and connections.
This is normal. This is how the entertainment industry is. Many times, resources are obtained through competition. You really can’t survive in the entertainment industry without fighting for them.
Gu Wei has been like this all the way. Many of the dramas he has participated in are not necessarily his, and many artists are looking at him when casting. However, Gu Wei is famous and has traffic. There is still money, so others can't compete with him.
Yang Liwen left the office after reporting her work, and Gu Wei looked down at some company reports.
After a while, Rao Xiaozhi knocked on the door and came in.
"Director Rao, long time no see, sit down~"
Gu Wei smiled and greeted.
"Mr. Gu, I have finished writing the adaptation of [The Key to Luck]. I will come over today and show it to you."
Rao Xiaozhi walked to the opposite side of Gu Wei and handed over the script in his hand. Hand it over.
Gu Wei took it and opened it without any surprise.
Not long after, he closed the script.
"Yes, Director Rao's version has been successfully localized, and the story is very down-to-earth.
The Japanese version of the movie has a sense of cold humor, but the style of this script is more heartwarming, and I feel it should be more suitable The taste of the domestic audience.”
Gu Wei praised with a smile.
“Haha, Mr. Gu is overly praised”
Rao Xiaozhi is actually very satisfied with the script he adapted.
"Now that the script has been finalized, the company's filming crew is readily available. As for the location, it can be shot in Hengdian, and casting is not difficult.
The main thing is, Mr. Gu, when will you have a schedule this year?"
< br>When Rao Xiaozhi discussed this movie with Gu Wei before, he proposed that he play the leading role, so naturally he would have to watch Gu Wei's time.
“When I was chatting with Manager Yang just now, I mentioned your movie. I have already freed up the schedule from June to August. About two months for this movie should be enough, right? ”
Rao Xiaozhi received Gu Wei’s affirmative reply with a smile on his face.
"That's enough. It's a comedy movie without any big scenes. It can definitely be filmed in two months."
Gu Wei nodded.
"Who do you plan to cast as the other protagonist in the film?"
[The Crowd] has two male protagonists, one is a down-and-out young actor, and the other is a fake killer. The two accidentally exchanged identities and lives, which triggered a series of ridiculous stories.
“I want to find Andy Lau!”
Gu Wei touched his chin. Of course he knew that the original version was played by Andy Lau, but to be honest, the box office of the original version of "The Crowd" did not reach the height expected, and Hua Zai was responsible.
Although Andy Lau has high national popularity and good popularity among the public, he has acted in too many bad movies, and his box office appeal is completely out of proportion to his celebrity status.
“Actually, I think Zhang Songwen from the company is also pretty good. I just finished a movie with him, and his acting skills are definitely the best in the industry.
Although he is not very famous yet. , but with me in this drama, I don’t need other actors to be famous.”
Although Gu Wei is making suggestions, he is the boss, and Rao Xiaozhi will naturally listen to what he says.
"I also know Mr. Zhang Songwen. His image and acting skills are sufficient for this role.
It's no problem to let him play.
But Mr. Gu, can I let him play the role of "Li Xiang"? Wan Qian will play? "
Gu Wei was a little surprised. "Li Xiang" is the official partner of the killer "Zhou Quan" in the movie, and she is considered the number one heroine in the role.
"Director Rao is so optimistic about Wan Qian?"
"It's not that I'm optimistic, Wan Qian and I are old friends. When I made my first movie [Hello Crazy], she was the protagonist.
We can be considered old friends for many years.
This role suits her very well, so I thought about letting her play it. ”
Rao Xiaozhi explained.
Gu Wei nodded and said with a smile: "No problem, then let's settle on Wan Qian."
Now that Rao Xiaozhi has spoken, Gu Wei wants to give him this face no matter what.
The two chatted for a while, Rao Xiaozhi stood up to leave, but Gu Wei stopped him.
"It's almost noon, let's have a meal together later.
The literary director is also in the company, so the three of us will have a bite together at noon."
"The literary director?"
"The movie we shot together some time ago has been completed, and he is currently doing post-production in the company."
"Okay, it just so happens that I haven't seen Wen Mu for a while."
2 After returning to the capital at the end of the month, Gu Wei has been dealing with some things in the company.
At the beginning of the new year, preparations for various tasks must begin. Although the general environment is not good, all projects of [Wei Tianxia] have not been delayed and everything is proceeding normally.
The film industry is currently in a state of stagnation due to the freezing of downstream theaters, but YI sentiment does not delay the broadcast of TV series.
And because more people are staying at home, more people are watching dramas.
Since the beginning of the year, major TV stations and online platforms have launched many new dramas, but not many have achieved good results.
The more popular dramas include Sun Li's "An Jia", Ren Jialun and Tan Songyun's "Under the Brocade", Song Weirong and Song Qian's "The Next Stop Is Happiness" and Dilraba Dilmurat's "Three A book on the pillow for three lifetimes].
After starring in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "The Legend of Mi Yue", Sun Li's status in the TV drama circle has become more and more consolidated. It is not surprising that her new drama has high ratings and good results.
Ren Jialun was the target of Huanrui's support after Li Yifeng left. He became famous after "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" and "Legend of the White Snake". The hit of "Under the Brocade" made him completely popular. stand up.
Shuangsong CP's "The Next Stop Is Happiness" is worse than the other three TV series in various statistics, but the male supporting actor Wang Yaoqing and female supporting actor Yu Shuxin are unexpectedly lovable.
Wang Yaoqing has consolidated his role as a wealthy boss in his film and television dramas, Xin Xinzi is just starting out, and the eldest lady in Shanghai finally has a memorable role in the entertainment industry.
Reba's "Three Lives Three Worlds: The Pillow Book" is the sequel to the hit fairy tale drama "Three Lives Three Worlds: Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", and it has always been far ahead in the attention when it was released.
TV series have been ranked on lists such as [Maoyan Drama Online Drama Popularity], [Guduo Drama Drama Popularity Index Ranking], [Lighthouse Popularity Ranking], and [Data Lion Online Drama New Media Hot List]. To the top of the list.
The number of online views exceeded 5 billion within one month of its launch, making it the TV series with the best online broadcast data since the beginning of the new year.
However, this data is a bit far behind the previous film [Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossom].
Moreover, [Pillow Book] was a hit but not a hit, with poor word-of-mouth ratings.
Many netizens complain about shortcomings such as the plot of the TV series being changed, the actors’ acting skills not being up to par, the plot being confusing and the supporting characters being added to the drama, and the screenwriter not being careful.
The costume and appearance of the heroine Reba are also a point of criticism.
Obviously she is playing a character, but her appearance and condition in "Pillow Book" are much worse than in "Ten Miles of Peach Blossom".
