Chapter 785 This is your chance
The time came in July, and [Surge of Crowds] launched in Shanghai in a low-key manner.
The Japanese version of this movie is called "How to Steal the Key", and the Korean version is called "Lucky Key". It tells the story of identity exchange.
In the bathhouse, a "killer" slipped on a piece of soap and hit his head, causing amnesia. The useless young man took advantage of the chaos to exchange bracelets with him and use his money to pay off the debt. , drive his luxury car, live in his mansion, and live his life.
That’s the fun part of the first half of the movie, it’s a different way of life.
The good-for-nothing young man went from having nothing to experiencing the life of a rich man, and it was all kinds of refreshing.
The "killer" thought he was a down-and-out little actor because of his amnesia, and his life was difficult.
However, exchanging lives is not such a simple matter. There is a saying that it is easy to change a country but hard to change a character.
Although the killer and the good-for-nothing have exchanged their lives, they still retain the living habits of the past.
The killer carefully records his life every day, studies acting skills seriously (because he was a useless actor before), rationally overcomes every difficulty in life, makes a comeback little by little, and finally successfully plays the worst card. The best ending.
On the other hand, the good-for-nothing, although a huge amount of money fell from the sky, he did not plan for the future at all. He just spent money and lived day by day. In a few days, he ruined the high-end finely decorated apartment into a garbage dump
He During the enjoyment, he slowly discovered the killer's identity, and a hired employee came to visit him. Since he had taken on someone else's identity, he naturally had to do the killer's original job, but with his ability, he could only mess things up.
There is a big difference between Gu Wei's version and Hua Tsai's version in the original time and space.
First of all, in terms of the characterization of the characters, Andy's version of "The Crowd" focuses mainly on the "killer". The good-for-nothing young man played by Xiao Yang is useless from beginning to end.
And Rao Xiaozhi, who wanted Gu Wei to star, definitely couldn't shoot according to this version.
In his new script, the entire story is a complete two-line.
As for the killer "Zhou Quan", his life is getting better and better because of his hard work, and he also met the single mother "Li Xiang", and the two fell in love with each other while getting along.
The wasted young man Chen Xiaomeng here, after receiving the task, did not know what to do. He could only follow the requirements of the task and start monitoring the target, a single female accountant "Zeng Rong".
However, although he can't do anything well, he is essentially a kind person and will definitely not commit murder.
He met the target "Zeng Rong" by creating an accident, and the two gradually developed a good impression during their contact.
Chen Xiaomeng confessed her identity to the other party, and Zeng Rong also told the reason why she was being hunted.
It turned out that when she was working in her last company, she discovered that her boss was engaging in many illegal activities. However, instead of calling the police, she got greedy and asked her boss for a large sum of money as hush money.
It’s just that the boss is not at ease and has no intention of letting her go. He wants to kill her and silence her to avoid future troubles.
The two confessed to each other and planned to escape, but they did not know that the boss who hired the murderer had hired another group to monitor them.
At the moment of crisis, the killer "Zhouquan" restored his memory and found Chen Xiaomeng.
They collaborated to stage a drama in front of the employer. The accountant "Zeng Rong" was killed, and "Zhou Quan" and "Chen Xiaomeng" also died together.
After deceiving the boss who hired a murderer, "Zeng Rong" chose to call the police and gave the evidence to the police.
The ending of the movie is naturally that the two lovers finally get married. "Zhou Quan" no longer acts as a fake killer and becomes a well-known actor. "Chen Xiaomeng" who learned how to act from him is no longer decadent. , the career is getting better and better
The main scenes of "The Crowd" are played by "Chen Xiaomeng" played by Gu Wei and the fake killer "Zhou Quan" played by Zhang Songwen.
This is not the first time that the two have collaborated. During the filming of "Zhou Chu's Elimination of Three Evils" in the first half of the year, Zhang Songwen played the role of the cult leader and had many scenes opposite Gu Wei.
"Who are you?"
In the corridor of the hospital, Zhang Songwen was lying on the hospital bed wearing a hospital gown, and Gu Wei was standing next to him in a crisp black suit, carrying a basket of fruits.
"Looking for me?
Do you know me?"
Zhang Songwen looked at Gu Wei with a confused look on his face.
At this moment, he has lost his memory and cannot remember who he is.
"I don't know. Yesterday in the bathhouse, I..."
"Chen Xiaomeng" played by Gu Wei did not know that the other party had lost his memory, and he came to apologize to the other party.
"Chen Xiaomeng~"
Before he finished speaking, he heard the nurse calling this name in the distance, and they both responded almost at the same time.
Gu Wei looked at Zhang Songwen with some surprise.
"The attending doctor is looking for you," the nurse continued.
"Got it~" Zhang Songwen replied, then stood up and walked over.
"Click!" The director's voice came from the speaker, and the shot passed.
“I was watching [The Hidden Corner] recently, and Zhu Yongping’s performance was really good”
Walking aside to rest, Gu Wei chatted with Zhang Songwen, who played the role of Zhu Chaoyang and Zhu Jingjing's father in the "secret corner".
“It’s okay, mainly because the script is good, and the actors in the opposite scenes are all good actors.
Especially the protagonist Qin Hao, he is worthy of being the leading actor in literary films, he is very powerful !”
Gu Wei nodded.
In his impression, although Qin Hao made many movies in his early years, he was always lukewarm.
Because he starred in all literary films, directors in the industry recognized him very much, but the audience was not very impressed with him.
Artistic films are, after all, a bit niche.
It was not until [The Hidden Corner] exploded that he really came into the sight of the broad audience, and his popularity soared.
"By the way, Mr. Gu, when will the two heroines of our movie join the cast?"
Gu Wei thought for a while.
"Dilraba will be able to join the filming in a few days.
Wan Qian will have to join next month. She is filming "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" and it will be completed in less than a month."
Zhang Songwen nodded.
“I also watched that variety show, which has been very popular in the past two months.
I feel that with Wan Qian’s current popularity, she can almost make it to the end and debut as a group”
"Absolutely, she is very popular now."
The two were chatting, and Yang Dan came over.
"Boss, someone is here to visit you."
"Visiting? Who is it?" Gu Wei looked confused. No one had told him in advance that he was coming.
“It’s Mr. Jia from [Yuekai Entertainment].”
"Jia Shikai?
What is he doing here?"
Gu Wei was even more puzzled.
He and Jia Shikai did know each other.
The other party was the vice president of Huanrui in his early years. Gu Wei's first TV series was "Gu Jian Qi Tan" invested by Huanrui, and he also had interactions with Jia Shikai at that time.
However, later on, the other party took Yang Yang away and established [Yuekai Entertainment], and Gu Wei had no contact with him anymore.
Thinking this in his heart, Gu Wei still got up and went over to pick it up.
"Mr. Gu, long time no see~"
Jia Shikai smiled when he saw Gu Wei, and they shook hands as if they were two old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.
“Why does Mr. Jia have time to come over and visit my class?”
"Haha, it's a coincidence that I happened to be in Shanghai to discuss a project in the past two days, and the place is near here.
I heard that Mr. Gu's crew was filming, so I wanted to come over and visit. ”
I stopped by to take a look, but Gu Wei didn’t believe it at all.
But he didn't say anything. Jia Shikai was a pure businessman, profit-seeking and hypocritical. He didn't tell him what he was doing, and Gu Wei didn't ask any more.
No matter what his intentions are, as long as he wants something, it will eventually be exposed.
The two sat in the lounge area, drank a cup of tea, and chatted for a while.
Not long after, Jia Shikai extended an invitation.
"Mr. Gu, do you have time to have dinner together tonight?"
Gu Wei hesitated a little and accepted Jia Shikai's invitation. He felt that the other party's visit to the class was probably to invite him to dinner, and there was a high probability that he would talk about anything at the dinner table.
After chatting for a few more words, Jia Shikai said goodbye and left.
"What actions has [Yuekai Entertainment] made recently?" Gu Wei asked Yang Dan next to him as he watched him leave.
"Well, I heard that [Yuekai] is preparing a new drama recently, and this time it seems to be the main accuser."
Gu Wei nodded.
He probably knew it.
[Yuekai Entertainment] is different from his [Wei Tianxia]. The other party is an entertainment company mainly engaged in celebrity management business.
Since its establishment in 2015, it has only invested in a few dramas, and they were all participating investments. They were not major productions like "Wei Tian Xia".
It seems that Jia Shikai is not satisfied with being just a brokerage company, and wants to develop the company's business into film and television production.
This is not surprising.
In the entertainment industry, the real big companies are mainly engaged in film and television production.
For example, [Bona], [Light], [Huayi] in the film field, [Noon Sunshine], [Huanrui], [Huace] and so on in the TV field.
If you are simply a brokerage company, you can only find resources through connections, which means asking others.
In the entertainment industry, only by producing your own film and television resources can you truly take the initiative.
In the evening, Jia Shikai was sitting in a private room of a high-end hotel with a very beautiful girl.
“Do you understand everything I told you?”
"Understood, I know what to do."
Jia Shikai nodded.
“You haven’t been in the industry for a long time, so it is impossible for you to have any interaction with Gu Wei.
Even if you want to give something, there is no way.
I The main purpose today is to invite Gu Wei to participate in our company's TV series
The second is to have a relationship with him, and we can work together when there is a suitable opportunity in the future."
As he said that, he poured himself a cup of tea, picked up the cup and took a sip.
"Bring you here. It's also your chance.
You have good foundation and outstanding appearance, but whether you can become popular depends on luck.
And today, here, you will have the opportunity to change your destiny.
It depends on whether you can grasp it."
After Jia Shikai finished speaking, the beautiful girl sitting opposite nodded vigorously.
Since she chose the profession of artist, she also has intentions and ambitions.
She is well aware of the fierce competition in the entertainment industry. Although she has a good foundation and good looks, and is now highly regarded by a talent agency, it is still unknown whether she will become popular in the end
And she knows that with the strength of her company, some small resources can still help, but those popular projects and big-investment film and television dramas cannot be used at all
She has been playing supporting roles since she signed the contract, and it is not a hit drama yet.
Just as I was thinking about it, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, and a tall and handsome figure came in.
Jia Shikai smiled immediately when he saw this, put down his water glass and stood up, greeting the other party warmly.
Gu Wei was also a little surprised after entering the door. He did not expect that there was anyone else in the private room besides Jia Shikai.
"Mr. Gu, let me introduce to you. This is Wang Churan, a new member of our company. She happened to have an event here in Shanghai, so I asked her to come with me."
After Jia Shikai finished speaking, Wang Churan, who was standing aside, quickly introduced himself with a smile.
“Hello, Teacher Gu Wei, my name is Wang Churan, I am currently studying in theater and I am an actor.
I particularly like your film and television dramas, from the earliest [Embroidery
I am your loyal fan"
Gu Wei nodded.
"Hello~"
Of course he knows the other person, but in the future.
"Little Liu Yifei", "high-end version of Liu Yifei", "Sister Baiyan", "Sister Baizhou", etc. are all labels on the future partner.
Of course, the first two are most likely packaged by the company for marketing hype.
I have to say that the impression of Tianxian in the hearts of this generation of audiences is so profound that many beauties in the entertainment industry relied on her to enhance their popularity when they debuted.
For example, the T0 version of Liu Shishi, the T1 version of Yang Caiyu, Mao Xiaohui, and even Huang Shengyi were praised as "Little Liu Yifei" when they debuted.
Among the younger generation, some netizens said that Zhao Lusi, who has just become popular, has similar facial contours, and then there is Wang Churan. Because of her outstanding beauty, she used this label to gain a lot of attention when she debuted.
Gu Wei has not watched the movie [I Have Fireworks in the World], but he has watched a lot of Douyin complaints.
It is rare for a TV series to become popular because it has been scolded too much for domestic entertainment.
The three of them sat down, Gu Wei and Jia Shikai sat across from each other, and Wang Churan, who was wearing a white tube top dress, sat next to him.
This was the first time that Gu Wei saw Wang Churan at such a close distance in reality.
I have to say, this sister is indeed beautiful.
When she was just standing, Gu Wei noticed that she was very tall, at least over 170cm tall, with a figure that was convex forward and backward, with very good proportions.
The skin above the tube top dress is white and delicate, with a slender neck, an oval face, smooth and smooth face lines, a full forehead, and plump apple muscles.
A pair of big, smart eyes, a high bridge of nose, and plump and attractive red lips.
Judging from her appearance, she belongs to the kind of bright and majestic beauty.
After Gu Wei arrived, Jia Shikai greeted him, and the dishes he ordered quickly filled the table in front of him.
The two were eating and chatting. Wang Churan sat next to Gu Wei, looking at him with admiration, and helping Gu Wei pour wine from time to time.
Jia Shikai is very good at talking. No matter what topic he talks about, he never lets his words drop on the floor, and he always supports Gu Wei in chatting.
Drinking for three rounds.
"Mr. Gu, to be honest, we [Yuekai Entertainment] have a new drama to be filmed, and I would like to invite you to star in it.
Of course, [Wei Mingxia] can also join as an investor ."
"What movie?"
"[Heartbeat Source Project] is an urban emotional drama adapted from Miao Juan's best-selling novel "The Broker""
Gu Wei took a bite of the food and shook his head.
"Mr. Jia is disappointed, I can't take it."
"Mr. Gu, won't you read the script? The original novel of this TV series is very popular, and the story is also very good." Jia Shikai was still fighting for it.
Gu Wei shook his head.
“It’s not a question of whether the script is good or not, the main problem is that I really don’t have time.
I am currently going to join the cast of [Celebrating the Year 2] after the filming of this movie.
Then we took on Bona’s super big production [Changjin Lake].
My company still has several film and television dramas waiting for me to start filming, and the schedule is too full."
He said that Jia Shikai could not persuade him anymore. Although he was a little disappointed, in fact he still It was expected.
Wang Churan beside him did not feel depressed at all. After hearing Gu Wei's words, he shouted in surprise
"Wow, Teacher Gu Wei, you want to shoot [. Qing Yu Nian 2], I love this drama so much!
I’ve been following it since it started airing in May, and I watched it from the beginning again after it ended.”
Looking at her happy expression, Gu Wei couldn’t help but sigh, isn’t her acting really good!
