Chapter 777: Invite Gu Wei
The next day, Gu Wei got up early to start the play, while Zeng Li came to the set in the afternoon.
After changing clothes and putting on makeup, it took less than half an hour to shoot a scene, and said a line to Huang Bo. Zeng Li's work of coming all the way from Beijing to Guizhou was completed.
There are many people like Zeng Li in Gu Wei's crew who make guest appearances, such as Peng Yuchang and Zhang Zifeng.
The two played Huang Dabao and Dong Ahua when they were young.
There wasn’t even a single line of dialogue, and there was only one shot in the whole thing.
But no one complained. [My Hometown and Me] was originally a gift film, with an all-star cast.
Each film crew also relies on the director’s connections to find actors, and those who can come to act are also mentally prepared.
After filming his own scene, Zeng Li did not come to the set again during the next day.
According to Wei Wei's suggestion, we visited the surrounding Miao villages and China Sky Eye, and decided to travel there.
In the evening, I returned to the hotel and had a warm relationship with Gu Wei. My life was extremely comfortable.
"Fan Xian is so awesome. It feels like she has been involved in everything. It seems that all these high-ranking people have something to do with her."
In the hotel room, Gu Wei accompanied Zeng Li to watch [Celebrating More Than Years].
"That's for sure. Ye Qingmei is the first time traveler in the true sense. Fan Xian has experienced most of this under the protection of his mother Yu Yin.
< br>Sister Li, let’s take a guess, who is Fan Xian’s real father?”
"Isn't it Emperor Qing?"
"Have you read the original novel?"
"No, when I watched it on the video platform, many people posted it on the barrage.
< br>Including Wu Zhu’s identity and Barrett in the box, we can know it from the barrage.”
“Well, that’s how the drama adapted from the novel is. If the main plot remains unchanged, fans of the original work will be already there. I know most of the plot”
"The sequel of this drama will be filmed in the second half of the year, right?" Zeng Li looked at the TV and thought of something.
Gu Wei nodded: "It is tentatively scheduled to start filming around October.
[Celebrating More Than Years] has a total of three parts, and I plan to shoot them all within 5 years."
"That's it. The second part will be filmed soon, which is really good news for viewers who like this drama!”
“I mainly consider that Teacher Chen Daoming and Teacher Wu Gang are very old! , if it takes too long, they will be in trouble if something happens later and they can’t film.”
After watching today's two episodes, Zeng Li took the rare initiative, and Gu Wei naturally responded enthusiastically to her.
After the burst of clouds and rain, Zeng Li lay in Gu Wei's arms, placing a slender jade hand on his chest.
“I’ll leave tomorrow morning.”
“Mango Channel is urging you?”
“No, it’s just according to the previously set recording time. I need to be there before the day after tomorrow. To Changsha.”
Gu Wei gently stroked Zeng Li's black hair with one hand, and slowly slid it down the other person's fair and delicate back.
“Come on, I look forward to seeing your wonderful performance on TV.
Don’t forget our bet”
Time is slowly coming to the end of May, [ "A UFO Falls from the Sky" has completed most of the filming, and the plot of the popular "Celebrating More Than Years" has also entered the second half.
Fan Xian is ordered to go on a mission to the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Sean, played by Yu Rongguang, and Begonia Duoduo, the saint of the Northern Qi Dynasty, played by Xin Zhilei, appear one after another.
After the show went back to the hotel during the day, the staff adjusted the equipment. After the connection was successful, Gu Wei started today's live broadcast with Jingtian and others.
“Hello everyone~”
Gu Wei greeted the computer screen.
Today’s live broadcast was organized by Tengxun Video. In addition to Gu Wei and Jingtian, there were also Tian Yu, Tian Xiwei, Guo Qilin and Xin Zhilei.
"Is Brother Wei on the set?" Guo Qilin responded first.
"Yes, I'm filming a movie right now, so I have time to video chat with you all at night."
"I'm so envious. The people filming at this time are all big-name superstars!" Guo Qilin complimented.
"Haha, I am a director this time, I can make a movie without a big name~"
"Brother Wei, please give me a chance~" Guo Qilin said funny.
“There’s no hope this time, I’m about to finish it off.
Dalinzi should wait until the second half of the year for our second film to start shooting."
During the live broadcast, Gu Wei talked about the filming of "Qing Yu Nian 2" in a chat.
He As soon as I finished speaking, the live broadcast room was flooded with replies from netizens.
[I’m going to shoot 2, which is great!]
[There have been rumors about "Celebrating More Than Years". The second part will be launched this year, but there is no official letter. Gu Wei has said so, and it seems to be true.]
[In addition to the male protagonist, Gu Wei is the producer of "Celebrating More Than Years". This drama was produced by his company. The second one is a sure bet! 】
【I was still worried after watching "Celebrating More Than Years". Many things were not explained, and I was afraid that it would end in an anticlimax. It turns out there is a second part. 】
【I hope the crew will start filming soon, the more than 40 episodes of the first part are simply not enough to watch! 】
"Tiantian should be filming in Hengdian now, right?" Gu Wei asked Jingtian.
“I just came here, the crew here will not officially start filming for a few days.”
"Brother Wei, I am also in Hengdian, and I had dinner with Sister Tiantian the day before yesterday." Tian Xiwei on the other side of the camera said with a smile, his eyes wide open.
"I also accidentally bumped into Xiaotian when I got here. Their crew was filming, and then we had a meal together."
After Jingtian finished speaking, Gu Wei followed up with Tian Yu and Xin Zhilei exchanged a few words, and everyone chatted with each other to warm up the atmosphere. The host then spoke up and started to get into the main topic of the live broadcast.
Today’s broadcast is not the first live broadcast by the creators of [Qing Yu Nian]. Gu Wei and Jing Tian have previously conducted live broadcasts on Lianmai alone to promote, but today there are more and more complete people.
The host asked questions about [Celebrating More Than Years] one after another, and Gu Wei and several others answered them one after another.
Then, we will ask targeted questions about the different roles played by everyone.
“Ask Gu Wei, now that the TV series has aired Fan Xian’s mission to the Northern Qi Dynasty, many viewers are very dissatisfied with Fan Xian and Haitang Duoduo.
Who do you think Lin Wan’er and Haitang Duoduo are? More suitable for Fan Xian? "
"There is no doubt that it is Lin Waner. In [Qing Yu Nian], Fan Xian's only official spouse is Waner.
The others include Si Lili. The current Haitang Duoduo can only be regarded as a good friend”
"In real life, which female character in [Qing Yu Nian] do you prefer?"
"In fact, whether it is Lin Waner, Begonia Duoduo, Fan Ruoruo or Si Lili, because of their different backgrounds, They have their own distinct character traits.
I definitely prefer Ruoruo, after all, who can refuse a sister who believes in me unconditionally?"
"You mentioned [Qing Yu Nian] when we started chatting. "The second part of "Qing Yu Nian", can you tell us about it?"
"If you have read the original novel, you should know the general plot of "Qing Yu Nian"
The original work is a long novel, and only part of the first 40-plus episodes could be filmed.
So when we first started preparing for this drama, we planned to shoot three parts to tell the entire story.
According to the original plan, the second part will be officially launched in the second half of this year. As for the third part, filming will also start after the second online broadcast."
The promotion of the live broadcast that night added another fire to the already hot "Qing Yu Nian", Gu The last two parts revealed by Wei Live have caused a lot of discussion among netizens
Countless fans of the drama "Celebrating More Than Years" cheered and were delighted with the preparations for the sequel.
On June 1st, Children’s Day, the crew of [A UFO Falls from the Sky] officially wrapped up production.
"Baoqiang, thank you for your hard work this time~"
At the filming finale banquet of the crew, Gu Wei said to Wang Baoqiang who was sitting next to him.
Because it was a gift film, the other party only received a token salary for participating in the filming this time, and it was all for Gu Wei's sake.
"You don't have to be so polite to me, this is what I should do.
With our relationship, you can just open your mouth if you want anything."
Wang Baoqiang waved his hand indifferently.
Gu Wei patted his shoulder and said nothing more.
The main table was filled with people drinking and chatting, and the atmosphere was very lively.
When talking about movies, Huang Bo mentioned the "Tang Detective" series and asked Gu Wei when the third part would be released.
“Originally, it was scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival this year. Isn’t it because of the YI situation that all the releases were withdrawn?
I got news that domestic theaters will be slow in July or August. Let go slowly, and then gradually return to the previous state.
I plan to release [Tang Detective 3] during the Spring Festival next year."
"It's a pity, according to the second part. With a box office of 3.9 billion, if there is no YI Qing, the third film should have no problem with a box office of 4 billion or 5 billion during this year's Spring Festival
In the current environment, even after full liberalization, it is still a question whether the market can return to the previous state."
Huang Bo said with some regret.
His thoughts actually represent a lot of things. For most people in the film and television industry, the cold winter of film and television is no joke. They are tightening their belts and generally have a pessimistic attitude towards the future.
"There is no way, no one can change the general environment, but I believe it. As long as our country's economy is getting better and better, even if the film and television industry is somewhat sluggish due to various reasons, the final trend will still be getting better and better.
As filmmakers, the most important thing for us is to bring good works to the audience.”
Gu Wei was full of confidence, and his words inspired the people at the head table.
Wang Baoqiang picked up his wine glass.
"The director is right, polishing the work and making a good movie is the most important thing!"
Gu Wei also picked up the wine glass and clinked it with him.
“You told me before that you wanted to make an inspirational movie about fighting. Don’t forget to tell me that you have started preparations.
You may not be able to do anything else, but I will give you whatever you are short of in terms of funds."
"I know"
Baoqiang looked at Gu Wei with a grateful face.
He has been there recently The past few years have been quite rough. Emotionally, his wife cheated on him and his manager gave him a heavy blow. Although the problem was solved, his wife also took away a lot of his property.
In terms of career, he made his directorial debut. "Havoc in Tianzhu" was scolded to death, and the movie "The New King of Comedy" starring Zhou Xingchi was also dumped. Even its subsidiary company "Lehuahua Pictures" was criticized because of Ning Hao's "Crazy Alien" with a guarantee of 2.8 billion. Loss.
If there was no external investment in the filming of "Inside the Octagon", he really wouldn't be able to support it on his own.
“Nothing to say, it’s all in the wine.”
As he spoke, Baoqiang drained the rest of the wine in his glass.
Gu Wei also took a sip.
He really wants to help Wang Baoqiang, and [In the Octagonal Cage] has received good box office and word-of-mouth reviews, and the rate of return is super high, so this is a win-win situation.
On the private plane back to Beijing, Gu Wei looked at the script that his agent had brought to him recently.
"I don't think about any of this, but I declined more politely in this reply."
After reading, Gu Wei put the pile of notebooks aside and pointed to the top one. said.
He said that the movie he declined politely was called [1921], a theme-themed tribute film jointly produced by Shanghai Film and Television Films and Tengxun. It was similar to [Party Founding], and he was asked to play the male lead Li Da.
Gu Wei didn’t want to take it, firstly because he had no interest in the script, and secondly because there was really no schedule.
The planned start date for [1921] is around August. Gu Wei has already scheduled two dramas [The Crowd] and [Qing Yu Nian 2] for the second half of the year, so there is absolutely no time left.
But after all, it is a gift film controlled by Shanghai Film Group. He rejected last year's "The Climber". This time "1921" Shanghai Film approached him again. The other party was a state-owned film company second only to China Film Group. The film group, even if they don't cooperate, Gu Wei doesn't want to cause trouble with Ying.
After reading all the scripts, Gu Wei hesitated on the one he left behind.
There are three big characters written on the cover [Winter and Lion].
Many people may not know about [Winter and the Lion], but another name of this movie is very famous [Changjin Lake].
[Changjin Lake], like [1921], is also a tribute film with the main theme, and the main control parties are Bona Film and Television and Bayi Studio.
The movie is good, but it still has the same problem. Gu Wei has no time to make new movies this year.
After the plane landed, Gu Wei returned to the Beijing company and first found an editor to start the post-production of [A UFO fell from the sky].
After working in the editing room for two consecutive days, Gu Wei's work became much easier after he communicated well with the editor about the style and tone of the film.
"Yu Dong?"
Just after returning to the office and sitting for a while, Gu Wei received a call from Bona Yudong.
"Sorry, Mr. Gu, I didn't disturb your filming, right?"
"No, I just came back from finishing a movie two days ago. Is there anything Mr. Yu wants to do with me?"
"Have Mr. Gu watched the movie [Winter and the Lion] that Bona sent over?"
Yu Dong said straight to the point.
"After reading it, the script is very well written. The military-themed scripts written by Lan Xiaolong are very good."
The screenwriter of "Winter and the Lion", Lan Xiaolong, is also the screenwriter of "Soldier Assault", "I Got to Commander My" The screenwriter of the regiment is best at writing military-themed scripts.
“Haha, this movie Bona is going to invest a lot of manpower, material resources and funds to make it a benchmark for domestic war movies.
Of course, in the current market environment, if you want to make a super production We have to have super actors to support us. Only with Mr. Gu here, can I rest assured that the movie will not lose money."
Gu Wei hesitated.
"Dr. Yu, I am very optimistic about the script, but there is really no schedule before the year."
"Mr. Gu, don't refuse in a hurry. As long as you join, we can discuss other issues.
In this way, whenever Mr. Gu has time these days, let’s go out to have a meal and chat.”
“Okay”
Hang up Gu Wei’s phone, Yu Dong After thinking for a while, he called Lin Chaoxian over.
"I have already made a move on Wu Jing's side, but Gu Wei still hesitates. Director Lin will come with me later and ask Gu Wei to have a meal to help me persuade him."
Lin Chaoxian nodded: "No problem!"
He is also one of the directors of [Changjin Lake], and he really hopes that Gu Wei will join.
