Chapter 778 The relationship is unusual
Hengdian, the crew of [Long Song Xing].
After the last scene of the day was filmed, Reba went into the dressing room to change clothes. Along with her was Zhao Ruth, the second female lead on the crew.
"Sister Baba, are you still chasing [Qing Yu Nian]?"
Changing out of the costume and putting on her own clothes, Zhao Lusi looked in the mirror and chatted with Reba beside her. stand up.
"I watch it every day," Reba replied casually.
She and Zhao Lusi got to know each other only after they worked together on this drama. In her eyes, the other person was young and lively, and the two had a good relationship on the set.
“The finale will be tonight, I’m so looking forward to it.
But what’s more, it’s a pity that such a great drama is coming to an end, and there are too many things that have not been explained clearly.”
"Didn't Gu Wei say that filming for the second part will start in the second half of the year? Just wait.
All kinds of questions will be revealed bit by bit in the second part."
Zhao Lusi looked in the mirror and stretched out her hand to tie up her hair.
"Unfortunately, I am just a little-known artist. , it would be great if I had the chance to play a role in "Qing Yu Nian 2".
I really like Gu Wei.”
Reba glanced at Zhao Lusi’s round face.
"Ruth, you are no longer a small artist. Wasn't the movie [The Rumored Chen Qianqian] last month very popular?
You have become famous in one drama. Many female stars in the industry are envious of you.
And in our drama, your character design is also very good, and you will definitely attract a lot of fans when it is broadcast."
After Zhao Lusi heard Reba's words, He couldn't hide the happiness on his face, but he still waved his hands and said modestly: "I didn't expect [Chen Qianqian] to be popular when I was filming. It was just good luck.
"Long Song Xing" still has to rely on Only when Sister Barba becomes more popular.”
Reba smiled after hearing her words and said nothing.
After the two changed clothes and walked out, Zhao Lusi turned around and asked, "Sister Baba, why don't you come to my room tonight and we can watch a show together."
Reba thought for a while. , no rejection.
“Okay, I’ll go back and find you.”
In the evening, Reba returned to the room and took a shower, changed into comfortable clothes, and saw that it was almost time, and came to Zhao Lusi’s In front of the door.
"Sister Baba, come on~"
The door opened, and Zhao Ruth enthusiastically let her in.
"Sister Baba~"
"Wu Lei, why are you here?"
After entering the door, Reba saw Wu Lei sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"Ruth asked me to come. I was also chasing [Celebrating More Than Years]. She said today is the finale and everyone will get together to watch it, so she dragged me over."
Wu Lei spread his hands, Said somewhat helplessly.
“Originally I called Liu Yuning, but he said he would go to the room to live broadcast in the evening and couldn’t come over. Let’s watch it together.”
Zhao Lusi closed the door and hugged her from behind. Reba's arm pulled her to sit on the sofa, and then took out a basket of snacks from under the coffee table.
“We can eat and watch at the same time.
There are drinks in the refrigerator, Wu Lei, go get some."
"Oh, okay~"
Wu Lei stood up obediently.
Reba was a little surprised by Wu Lei. appeared, but she didn't think much of it.
She actually had a better impression of Wu Lei, and they were the male and female protagonists of "Long Song Xing"
But in her heart, she always felt that Wu Lei still looked like Xiao Feiliu from [Nirvana in Fire], and she looked at him like a child.
“You won’t be afraid of gaining weight if you eat so much at night.” Reba looked at Zhao Lusi and smiled.
Zhao Ruth reached out and took a bag of potato chips and was about to tear it open, paused, and then continued her actions.
"No, I'm just going to indulge a little bit today. I'm usually very careful.
And I haven't had dinner today, so it shouldn't matter if I have some snacks."
< br>
Wu Lei came back with drinks, and Reba got a bottle of lemonade. Compared with cola and juice, this one has lower sugar content.
On TV, the last two episodes of [Celebrating More Than Years] began quickly. Reba and Zhao Lusi sat side by side, Wu Lei sat to the side, and the three of them started watching the show.
Today we play the last two episodes of [Celebrating More Than Years] 45 and 46.
Episode 45 begins at the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother of the Northern Qi Dynasty. The envoys of the Qing Dynasty and the officials of the Northern Qi Dynasty are sitting together, and everyone has their own concerns.
During the dinner, Lang Tao asked to play and wanted to compete with Fan Xian in martial arts in the palace.
Seeing Lang Tao's murderous intent, Haitang Duoduo volunteered to compete with Fan Xian in place of her senior brother.
The competition between the two was not only not as sharp as a sword fight, but also less murderous than the light and shadow of the sword. Instead, it was as elegant and calm as a dance, soft and harmonious. It was not like a martial arts competition, but a dance competition.
Wang Qinian explained to Gao Da below that Master Xiao Fan and the Northern Qi Saint were in love, so naturally they would not use force.
“When Teacher Xin Zhilei’s Begonia Duoduo first appeared, I thought it was very vulgar, but the more I watched it, the better it looked. I felt that she and Fan Xian really matched each other.
The two of them are special together. It’s interesting, I’m going to give them a thumbs up.”
Watching Gu Wei and Xin Zhilei performing "Lang Qing Concubine Yijian" on TV, Zhao Lusi held her chin in her hand and said.
"Teacher Xin Zhilei's acting skills are really good. I have seen the film [Yangtze River Pictures] she starred in, and it was great!" Wu Lei added.
Reba felt a little emotional when she watched Xin Zhilei on TV.
As early as 2010, Lu Chuan filmed the national audition for "Yu Ji" in "The King's Feast". She and Xin Zhilei both went to participate in the audition. Although they both failed, they also took advantage of that opportunity to communicate with each other. Got it.
Back then, both of them were still amateurs, Reba had just been admitted to the theater, and Xin Zhilei was also unknown.
After that, due to their different paths, the two slowly lost contact.
Now 10 years have passed.
'After [Celebrating More Than Years], you have become really popular. I hope your future acting career will go smoothly.'
Although the two of them are no different from strangers now, back then, The friendship still made Reba bless each other from the bottom of her heart.
After the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Fan Xian defeated the commander of Jinyiwei Town Fusi Commander Sheng Sheng by stratagem, and completed all the tasks of this mission to Northern Qi.
On the way back to Nanqing, Sheng Sheng led a large number of assassins to hunt down Fan Xian. With the help of Haitang Duoduo, Shen Sheng failed in the assassination and was brought back to Northern Qi.
On the way back to Nanqing, Xie Bian came to see Fan Xian.
The second prince asked him to bring two letters, one to Fan Xian and one to Yan Bingyun.
At this time, Fan Xian already knew that the second prince was the person behind the scenes, and the other party threatened Teng Zijing's family, Fei Jie, and Fan Sizhe in the letter.
Fan Xian was unwilling to compromise, and Xie Bian led a large number of killers to kill all the members of the group.
At the critical moment, Yan Bingyun rebelled and stabbed Fan Xian in the waist. Fan Xian fell to the ground and died
"Is this the end?
Fan Xian is dead?
Didn’t you say we’re going to make a second one?”
When the TV series ended, Zhao Lusi looked incredulous.
"It must be a fake death, I guessed it.
There are so many foreshadowings laid before, how can it end?"
Wu Lei was not surprised at all.
As for the plot of [Celebrating More Than Years], anyone who has watched the two TV series will know that the protagonist must have faked his death.
"You are right. Saying this makes me feel even more itchy. I really want to know how the rest of the story happened, how Fan Xian faked his death and escaped, and how he will fight the second prince after returning to Nanqing. .”
After muttering a few words, Zhao Lusi looked at Wu Lei beside her and her eyes lit up.
"Don't you have a very good relationship with Teacher Gu Wei? Why don't you call him and ask, just say that you are too curious to follow the series until the finale."
Wu Lei quickly shook his head: "I won't fight. Calling so late disturbs Brother Wei's rest~"
"It's too late, it's only after 9 o'clock. Besides, don't we support [Celebrating More Years]"
< br>No matter what Zhao Lusi said, Wu Lei refused, but his eyes drifted to Reba and gave her a hint.
Zhao Lusi then remembered that Reba and Gu Wei must have a very good relationship. The two have collaborated many times, and "You Are My Glory" was a hit that year.
Thinking about her holding Reba's arm, she started to act coquettishly: "Sister Baba, why don't you ask, I'm really curious." Unlike Wu Lei's caution, Reba didn't feel that way. What's wrong with calling Gu Wei? She usually calls at night when she has free time.
"Okay, I'll call him now."
As she said that, Reba dialed Gu Wei's phone, but she was still on speakerphone.
To be honest, she was somewhat showing off.
"Did Reba miss me, calling so late?"
The phone was connected. Before Reba said anything, Gu Wei spoke first.
After he finished speaking, both Wu Lei and Zhao Lusi opened their eyes wide, as if they had heard some great secret, and looked at Reba in disbelief.
“Ahem~ I’m with Wu Lei and Ruth. We just watched the finale of [Celebrating More Than Years]”
Reba quickly told her about the people around her to prevent Gu Wei from saying anything more extreme.
"Oh~ you are together" Gu Wei understood instantly, but he didn't pay much attention.
"[Long Song Xing] crew, right?
Wu Lei, come on, play well, I am optimistic about your "Ashile Falcon"!"
"Okay Yes, Brother Wei, I will work hard!”
Wu Lei seemed very happy to be encouraged by Gu Wei.
He has been working with Gu Wei since childhood and has always regarded him as his idol and goal in his acting career. He hopes that he can reach Gu Wei's height one day in the future.
"There is also Zhao Ruth, right? I have watched your movie [The Rumored Chen Qianqian], it is very spiritual, keep it up, the future is bright"
"Thank you, Teacher Gu Wei "Teacher Gu Wei, you are my idol. I especially like your movies and TV series.
I haven't missed any of your movies since "Xiu Chun Knife"."
Zhao Lusi was very excited when she heard Gu Wei's words and said happily, having forgotten the purpose of asking Reba to call.
“We just finished watching the last two episodes of [Celebrating More Than Years], and I have some questions and I want to ask you~” Reba got back to business.
"Fan Xian should have faked his death, right?"
"The protagonist must not die, it was planned by Fan Xian and Yan Bingyun.
Planned to fake his death and go to Beijing to investigate Teng The whereabouts of Zi Jing’s wife and children”
"What about the back?"
"I can't say anything about the back. You should watch it for yourselves when the second part is aired."
Hearing this, Zhao Lusi looked regretful.
“By the way, Reba, [The Crowd] will start shooting at the beginning of next month. You may have to finish filming [Long Song Xing] to seamlessly join the set. Work harder.”
"It's nothing.
Okay, since it’s inconvenient to talk about it later, I won’t bother you.”
“Okay, Wu Lei, Zhao Lusi, see you next time.”
“Goodbye, Brother Wei~”< br>
"Goodbye, Teacher Gu Wei~"
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Lusi looked at Reba
"Sister Baba, you are going to cooperate with Teacher Gu Wei again. Is it a movie or a TV series?"
"In the movie, I will play a supporting role, and there won't be many scenes."
"That's also very interesting. Awesome.
This is the fourth time you have cooperated with Teacher Gu Wei.
It’s so enviable.”
Zhao Lusi said that she had watched all of Gu Wei's films and it was not nonsense. Reba had indeed collaborated with Gu Wei from the beginning of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" to the later "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" and "You Are My Glory" three times.
Reba smiled.
"It's nothing great. Gu Wei is the major shareholder of [Jiaxing Media]. I work for him to make money. Of course he will think about us employees if he has the right opportunity."
Zhao Lusi pursed her lips and nodded in agreement, but she didn't agree in her heart.
There are so many artists under Jiaxing, except for Yang Mi, Gu Wei only takes care of Dilraba, and he can be regarded as a special favorite.
Moreover, as Gu Wei said when the call was put through, it was obvious that the two of them had a special relationship.
The two of them have the same boss and a female artist. If they are not boyfriend and girlfriend, then the relationship will be delicate.
Zhao Lusi was thinking so in her heart but did not ask rashly. Her relationship with Reba was not that good yet, and no one with some emotional intelligence would ask such a relatively private question.
After watching the TV series and making the phone call, Wu Lei got up and left.
Reba also wanted to leave, so Zhao Lusi walked her to the door.
"Sister Baba, you have such a good relationship with Teacher Gu Wei. Can you introduce us to each other when you have the opportunity?
I especially like Teacher Gu Wei's drama, he is my idol"
Reba smiled as she walked out the door: "I'll have a chance in the future."
"Thank you, Sister Baba!"
Zhao Lusi looked happy after returning with the affirmation.
In fact, Reba was just talking perfunctorily. She didn't care at all about Zhao Lusi's request. The other party was not the first and he would not be the last.
With Gu Wei's fame and status, there aren't too many female celebrities like Zhao Lusi in the entertainment industry who want to make progress.
[Celebrating More Than Years] has come to an end, but its popularity remains unabated.
The playback volume of Tengxun Video and iQiyi platforms is still rising.
Big hit dramas often have a long tail effect that lasts a long time. This is true for [Do You Know] and [Nirvana in Fire].
The most exaggerated one is "The Legend of Zhen Huan". After being aired for more than 10 years, it still appears on the platform's hot list from time to time.
". Receiving the good news from the domestic hit, we have already cooperated with Hong Kong TVB Jade Channel, Macau TVB Anywhere Jade Channel, Singapore HUB Drama Choice, South Korea China TV, Taiwan CTV, Malaysia Octave Space, and the United States Super TV America, Vietnam HTV7 and other foreign TV stations have negotiated copyrights.
Starting from next month, "Qing Yu Nian" will be broadcast on TV stations in more than 30 countries and regions around the world.
The domestic second-round broadcast rights were jointly won by Mango Channel and Blueberry Channel.
These helped the company recover 240 million in copyright fees."
In the company, Yang Liwen is reporting to Gu Wei on the transaction status of the foreign copyright and second-round broadcast rights of "Qing Yu Nian".
"[Qing Yu Nian] has brought total revenue to the company of more than 1 billion, right?"
"A total of 1.068 billion, leaving aside the production cost and part of the publicity invested by the company before the release. Cost, total profit is about 800 million yuan."
Gu Wei tapped his finger on the table.
“It is still very profitable to film TV series, and both TV stations and video platforms are willing to spend money.”
Yang Liwen smiled and said: "Boss, you make money not from filming TV series, but from TV series produced by our company.
As long as you appear in the show, your performance is guaranteed, and TV stations and platforms are willing to pay high prices.
Nowadays, various video platforms are producing self-made dramas, and dramas produced by other companies generally cannot be sold at a high price without popular stars."
Gu Wei nodded in approval, and Yang Liwen said again: "Because of these years, We have had many good cooperations, and our company has a good relationship with several video platforms. The main reason is that they have made money from our cooperation.
Take the current film [Qing Yu Nian] as an example.
As far as I know, Tengxun Video and iQiyi earned nearly one billion yuan in advertising revenue from "Qing Yu Nian", not counting the membership income brought to them by the TV series.
So even if we are given a high copyright fee, the platform will still make a lot of money! ”
“Haha, isn’t this good? It’s a win-win cooperation. As long as we can continue to produce high-quality works, both the TV station and the platform will be our best friends, and we don’t have to worry about which side to turn to.” ."
Gu Wei originally had the opportunity to develop a video platform, but then he gave up after thinking about it.
Although he knew that the video platform would be a very important channel in the future film and television field, But it's too expensive to do this.
To run a video platform for a long time requires continuous investment, because various new film and television copyrights are released every year, and if you don't buy them, your competitors will buy them.
Although Gu Wei’s dramas have made so much money for the platform, in fact, the platform is losing money on most of the dramas that purchased the copyright.
It is normal for companies like Tencent and Youku to lose more than one billion every year.
Gu Wei thinks it is good to be like this now. As a producer of high-quality dramas, as long as the market does not form a monopoly, he can take the initiative in cooperating with various platforms.
