Chapter 787 Reba joins the group
For Wang Churan these days, it feels like a dream.
Mr. Jia, who was following the agency, met Gu Wei. He mustered up the courage to take the initiative, and then successfully climbed into his idol's bed.
You must know that the last time she saw Gu Wei was in a film and television drama.
The gap between the two in various aspects is not that big of a difference.
She is just a newcomer in the film and television industry who has not graduated from college, while Gu Wei is a superstar at the top of domestic entertainment.
One thing Wang Churan didn't lie about was that she was really a fan of Gu Wei. She started watching Gu Wei's movies and TV series when she was in high school.
A few months ago, when she was playing mahjong with Meng Ziyi in the capital, she was envious that he was an artist under Gu Wei, and wondered if she could get to know Gu Wei through Meng Ziyi.
I didn’t expect that it would be done in one step.
After chatting with Gu Wei, she went back to her residence, but she still made an appointment with him for dinner in the evening, and then went to his hotel together.
During the interaction, she also became more and more proactive and bold from her initial naivety, unlocking a lot of new knowledge in just a few days.
This afternoon, Wang Churan, who was nestled on the lazy sofa, had just finished watching an episode of a TV series. He glanced at the time in the upper left corner of the screen, quickly took his phone over, opened WeChat and sent a text to Gu Wei.
"Would you like to have dinner together tonight?
What do you want to eat?"
She was not surprised that there was no reply after sending it.
Gu Wei was filming on the set during the day, and his cell phone was definitely not with him, so he took a long time to reply to messages every time.
After sending the WeChat message, she was not in the mood to watch any more dramas. She got up and walked to the cloakroom, thinking about what to wear later.
Every time she saw Gu Wei in the past few days, she would dress up carefully, trying to show her most beautiful side in front of him.
While I was choosing among my skirts of various colors and styles, my phone rang.
Wang Churan quickly opened it, and it was indeed a message from Gu Wei, but it was different from what she expected.
"Today the crew has a night scene that will be filming late, so I can't have dinner with you."
She curled her lips, a little disappointed, but it was normal.
He sent another message to support his work, and added a cute smile at the end.
After sending it via WeChat, there was a response soon.
“The crew is quite busy these days, so I may not have time to see you.
Your contract to star in "Qing Yu Nian 2" has been signed and the script has been sent to your company.
There are still about 2 months until filming starts. During this time, I will study the characters carefully. ”
Seeing this reply, Wang Churan felt a little disappointed at first, and then couldn’t help but be happy.
[Qing Yu Nian 2] Although it is only a small supporting role, it is already the first time she has entered the industry. Get the best resources.
With this opportunity, even if she can't become an instant success, it will at least make her career further and her reputation will increase
At the same time, [the crowd was overwhelming] the crew.
Gu Wei, who had just finished filming a scene, was sitting aside to rest. After replying a message to Wang Churan, he put down his phone and looked at Reba opposite.
The rejection of Wang Churan was not because the crew was busy, but because Reba joined the crew today.
“Is [Long Song Xing] finished?”
“It was officially finished the day before yesterday. I packed up my things and came over as soon as it was over. This can be considered a seamless entry into the group.”
Reba arrived in the morning, and a play was arranged for her in the afternoon.
It was a scene where she and Gu Wei met for the first time on the overpass. It only appeared in the scene and had no lines.
The original version of Andy Lau's "Tsang Jiurong" is a real villain, a professional liar, there is no need to wash away.
On the contrary, the boss-like "Sister Hui" was angry and hired a murderer to kill someone because she was cheated of her love and money by her ex-boyfriend. Although it violated the law, she still got a little sympathy from the audience emotionally. .
But Gu Wei's version is completely different. There is no "Sister Hui", only the company boss who commits crimes for money and interests and is involved in gangs, who is a complete villain.
"Zeng Jiurong" became "Zeng Rong". Not only did she have more roles, she was also a positive character in terms of identity, and she had a clear emotional line with "Chen Xiaomeng" played by Gu Wei.
"I saw the stills posted by your crew online"
"How is it?"
"Wu Lei is very manly, and your Li Changge is also very beautiful.
It’s just that some of your models have two “dragon whiskers” on their faces, which is very strange.”
Reba looked helpless.
“I also think that the look is not very good, and I mentioned it during the filming.
But the director said that the heroine in the original comic has that look, and we must follow the original work”
Gu Wei shook his head.
“This explanation is too far-fetched.
Film and television and comics are two completely different fields. It is okay to respect the original work, but being too dogmatic will only be counterproductive.
After all, people in real life are very different from people in comics, so it would be nice to look similar."
"The filming has been completed now, so there is no point in worrying about it anymore.
Anyway, except for this look, I feel that the plot and service of [Long Song Xing] are pretty good. I hope it will have good results when it is finally broadcast."
At this time Reba could only comfort herself in this way
Gu Wei nodded and said nothing more.
The three beauties of the Western Regions in the entertainment industry are all top beauties. Among them, Reba has the strongest sense of foreignness, so she also has the greatest limitations.
If it is a photo shoot, she can look like a fashion blockbuster without much makeup. This is why she always performs well on the red carpet.
However, in the camera, if there is no suitable disguise, some of her shortcomings will be easily exposed.
For example, in [Long Song Xing] this time, the effect she presented was not as good as Zhao Ruth.
You must know that Ruth is a well-known ordinary girl in the entertainment industry.
This cannot be blamed on Reba. Unlike Gu Wei, although she is now a top female star, her right to speak is limited when filming.
Whether it was a plot or a pretense, it didn’t matter if she said it.
Especially [Long Song Xing] is still a major Penguin S+ level project, so it is very rare to get this piece of cake.
It can also be seen from here that Zhao Lusi is really Penguin's daughter, and she has been praised in every way since her debut.
After [The Rumored Chen Qianqian] became famous, she joined [Long Song Xing] to play the second female lead with a particularly good character.
Then he collaborated with Yang Yang in [Let’s Try the World], and with Wu Lei in [The Stars Are Brilliant] and [The Moon Rises in the Sea].
These are all S+ level major productions produced by Penguin.
Although Mr. Yang Yang has some shortcomings, such as being handsome but self-conscious, and being too handsome, it has to be said that he is now firmly on the throne of the top domestic entertainment male stars.
Since the film and television contract was signed with Tengxun, he has filmed many dramas produced by Penguin in the past two years.
[Let’s Try the World] is a mission drama given to him by Penguin, and the purpose is to promote Zhao Lusi.
Unfortunately, the results of this cooperation were not ideal.
After [Let’s Try the World] was aired, the two of them liked to mention the titles of “King Duan” and “Princess Duan”.
In the hotel room at night.
Reba was sitting cross-legged on the sofa reading the script.
She was wearing a one-piece pajamas with a bear pattern on it, her hair was tied up high, her fair face was unpainted, and she looked like she had washed herself. She wore a pair of large black-rimmed glasses, and she raised her hand from time to time.
Not far from her, Gu Wei was looking intently at the laptop in front of him, occasionally typing on the keyboard.
The two of them were doing their own thing without disturbing each other. After watching for a while, Reba felt a little tired. She stretched her hands and then moved closer to Gu Wei, curiously looking at the computer screen in front of him.
“What are you busy with?”
"My company has a movie to be released next month, and I'm looking at the promotion plan sent by the company."
"It will be released next month?
Aren't movie theaters still closed now? "?"
"Everything will be open by the end of this month and will be restored to last year's state."
Reba suddenly understood.
"That's right
But in the current environment, will anyone go out to watch movies?
If it is released now, it will be difficult to get a good box office~"
Gu Weizhi said He straightened up and reached out to hold Reba in his arms.
“There are many people who think like you, so the officials will find some more attractive videos to boost morale and allow the industry to return to its original state as soon as possible.”
"That is to say, you are here to complete an official mission?"
"Partly, it was indeed the film bureau who found me at first, but I also think this is a good opportunity.
< br>Movie theaters have been closed for more than half a year. Now that they are reopened, they will inevitably usher in a wave of retaliatory movie-watching."
"What movies will be released?"
"[Zhou Chu] "Extermination of Three Evils", a large-scale crime action film.
To be honest, if it weren’t for this opportunity, there might be some trouble for this movie to be released.”
Reba frowned slightly and thought about it.
“It was you who went to Taiwan at the beginning of the year. That movie was shot in Bay, right? "
"That's right."
"You have to be more cautious about the movies you star in. If the box office is not ideal due to the general environment, it will have a great impact on you."
After hearing this, Reba's expression became worried.
Gu Wei’s current status in domestic entertainment is very special.
His status in the hearts of the audience is unmatched by others.
"Gu Wei's products must be high-quality products" is recognized by everyone and has formed a reputation.
Whether it is a movie or a TV series, as long as his name appears, it will attract countless people's attention and expectations.
The reason why he is able to do this is that Gu Wei has never failed. Every film and television drama he has produced since his debut has been excellent, and some of them can be box office hits even if they have mediocre reviews.
Once this golden body is broken, it will not be a disaster, but the appeal will definitely be weakened.
This is a huge and irreversible loss for Gu Wei himself.
"I have confidence in myself and even more confidence in my movies."
Gu Wei turned his head and kissed Reba's fair face to comfort him.
Beijing, Huayi President’s Office.
Brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei are discussing the release of "Eight Hundred".
This movie is a war-themed movie directed by Guan Fu and co-produced by Huayi, Guangguang and Tengxun.
Speaking of which, the release of [Eight Hundred] was rather bumpy.
The film has been produced as early as 2018 and has been scheduled to be released on May 25, 2019.
It was promoted for half a year and was temporarily withdrawn as the date was approaching.
The date was changed to July 5th, but it was withdrawn again.
From 19 to 20, I encountered love again.
Now that theaters are about to open and it can finally be released, the two presidents of Huayi also want to get the movie to the screen as soon as possible.
“The film bureau means not to worry, wait until the market recovers before letting our film be released”
"How long?"
"The plan over there is to release some Hollywood movies and re-released movies at the end of this month, and then domestic movies next month."
Wang Zhongjun frowned after hearing this. He frowned and hesitated.
The two withdrawals last year actually had a lot to do with the content of the movie.
It’s not that Huayi doesn’t want to release it, but the review is stuck and won’t let it go.
[Eight Hundred] tells the story of eight hundred warriors who stayed at the Sixing Warehouse at the end of the Songhu Battle in 1937 and fought alone for four days and nights.
It involves the battle between the Kuomintang army and the Japanese army, so the review is relatively strict.
The two withdrawals last year were due to secondary censorship that some scenes in the film were too beautifying in their depiction of the Kuomintang troops.
For example, details such as the blurred footage of the Kuomintang flag and the low voice of singing military songs may cause the audience to misunderstand the Kuomintang army.
The movie was deleted, deleted, altered, and therefore the schedule was delayed again and again.
Now, in this sluggish market situation, the film has finally passed the review, and Huayi is also thinking about releasing "Eight Hundred" as soon as possible.
According to Wang Zhongjun’s idea, he wants [Eight Hundred] to be released as soon as the lockdown is lifted on July 20.
He also thought about the retaliatory wave of movie-watching mentioned by Gu Wei, so he decided to take a gamble.
“I heard that [Wei Ming Xia] also has new movies released there?”
Wang Zhonglei nodded.
"There is a crime-themed movie starring Gu Wei. I heard that the scale is very large, and the background is specially set in Bay.
I guess they also saw that the special environmental review is relatively loose now, so they decided on it. It will be released at this time."
"What is the specific date?"
"Next month on the 10th."
"It seems to have followed the official arrangement. .”
Wang Zhongju frowned slightly and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
“No matter what the subject matter of the movie is, as long as Gu Wei participates in it, we have to pay attention to it.
The film [Wei Tomorrow] will most likely be the target of official support.
I understand very well the thinking of the film bureau. Most likely, they think that the market will be cold as soon as the cinemas are unblocked, and they want to rely on Gu Wei’s films to drive the audience and make the market popular again.”
< br>He hesitated.
"In this way, we will start screening a little later on the 17th, and officially launch it nationwide on the 20th!
A week and a half later, it will not cause too much head-on conflict with Gu Wei's movie, and avoid losing both sides. ”
After Wang Zhongjun made the decision, [Eight Hundred] was officially scheduled and various publicity was launched.
[Wei Tianxia]’s promotion of [Zhou Chu’s Elimination of Three Pests] has also started long ago.
However, due to the current special environment, the main promotional efforts of both companies are online. For example, the official WeChat account announced the final release, and successively released various versions of posters and promotional videos.
It has been more than half a year since movie theaters were closed. Although movies are not a necessity in life, there are still many people who like them.
The publicity of [Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Pests] and [Eight Hundred] spread quickly.
Everyone is looking forward to how the two newly released domestic movies will perform after half a year.
Not only the audience, but also people in the industry are paying attention.
Most people working in the industry lack confidence in the current market, and everyone also wants to see what kind of box office results these two movies that dare to be the first to test the waters will have.
