"Five years ago, the "Mekong River Massacre" caused a sensation across the country. After screening, Bona finally won the right to film a film on this subject.

After that, the screenwriting team reviewed a large amount of information and rushed to Yun Province to record the entire process of Nuokang's trial in the form of a documentary, and intercepted many character traits from front-line police officers."

"I don't want such a tragic case to be made into an entertainment movie. "I really do this for the dignity of 13 human lives and the dignity of the Chinese people."

The filming locations in the film were all shot on site, in order to recreate the real scene of the "Mekong River Tragedy" that day."

“The main story of [Operation Mekong] revolves around the anti-narcotics police’s case-solving process.

Gu Wei plays an undercover policeman lurking in the Golden Triangle area, while Zhang Hanyu plays an anti-drug policeman with both wisdom and courage."

The press conference began. As the boss of [Bona Pictures] and the producer of the film, Yu Dong opened the door first, and then director Lin Chaoxian answered questions from reporters on the location and shooting of the film.

When asked what it was like to work with Gu Wei for the first time, Director Lin turned to look at Gu Wei beside him and replied with a smile:

“Not only was the filming of the movie [Operation Mekong] very difficult, but the actors also had a particularly hard time.

Our crew shot the entire scene in real environments in Southeast Asia, such as slums, swamps, and tropical rainforests.

As the leading actor, Gu Wei not only had to learn combat firearms, but also mastered Thai and Burmese. Finally, he had to endure various extreme environments during filming, which was really not easy.

To be honest, when the crew was developing the project, Director Yu told me that he wanted to invite Gu Wei to star, so I was hesitant.

I have watched some of Gu Wei's excellent films before, such as "Xiu Chun Knife" and "Detective Chinatown". I really recognized his acting skills and wanted to work with him, but I was worried about our crew. It’s too hard for people to come.

But I didn't expect that after sending the script, it didn't take long for him to agree.

After the filming of the movie started, Gu Wei's performance surprised me again and again.

He learns all kinds of firearms combat very quickly, and he is also a genius in language. He never complains or feels tired when filming. The degree of completion of the shots is particularly high, and he is extremely strict with himself.

Don’t think that I am praising Gu Wei. After the movie is released, you will know that what I said is true after you actually watch it.”

Lin Chaoxian praised Gu Wei. After he finished speaking, Gu Wei took the phone.

"I'm a little embarrassed by what the director said. In fact, I just did what an actor should do, whether it's acting or not, you have to try to move closer to the extent that the role requires you to do it.

In fact, it’s not just me, but other actors in the crew are like this.

Like Brother Hanyu, I remember when we were filming the shootout scene, we were the only ones in the crew. Our body armors were real, they were very heavy, the guns were real, and the grenades were hung, and everything was real.

After holding these things, we have to keep running, because the drug-detecting dog runs very fast in front, and we have to chase that dog.

I felt a little unbearable after taking several photos, not to mention Brother Hanyu is already over 50 years old, but he still remained silent, a true iron-blooded man! "

As he spoke, he gave Zhang Han a thumbs-up gesture.

"Well, is it possible that I was too tired to speak at that time?"

Zhang Hanhe answered with a wry smile after hearing Gu Wei's words, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

"But what the director told Gu Wei was right. Film shooting is indeed difficult, and due to the shooting environment, accidents and dangers may occur from time to time.

I remember that when we were filming in a Malaysian swamp, Director Lin was accidentally bitten on his ankle by a six-inch poisonous centipede and even went into shock.

Later, I rested for two days and insisted on continuing to join the group for filming.”

Yu Dong continued: "I was not with the crew at the time. I was in Thailand. The crew called me and said that Director Lin had been bitten by a poisonous insect and was in a coma. I was so frightened that I flew to Malaysia overnight."

After the two of them finished talking, everyone's eyes focused on Lin Chaoxian.

He waved his hand.

"It's not as serious as they said. The local hospital is equipped with detoxifying serum for various poisonous insects. It's just that it looked scary when I was first bitten. When I got the injection at the hospital, I recovered quickly. There was only some swelling in my ankle afterwards. It’s not very convenient to get on.”

Lin Chaoxian said it in an understatement, but everyone can still imagine the hardship of filming in an environment like a rainforest swamp.

At the end of the press conference, a reporter asked the creators what their expectations were for the movie's box office.

Yu Dong made bold words.

"Our drama has the best cast and crew and such a good story. I think it won't be a problem if the box office exceeds 1 billion!"

After the press conference, at the invitation of Yu Dong, Gu Wei had a meal with Lin Chaoxian, Zhang Han and several of the film's creators.

Everyone had a great time working together when making the movie, and we have a good relationship with each other.

Gu Wei is so popular, [Tang Detective 2] has just broken the box office record, and Yu Dong really wants to have a good relationship with him.

At the press conference, Yu Dong boasted that the movie's box office would exceed one billion, and more than half of his confidence came from Gu Wei.

Everyone was eating and drinking, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was very good.

After dinner, Gu Wei politely declined the next program Yu Dong planned to arrange and got into the nanny car smelling a little drunk.

At Zeng Li's house, she had finished washing. She was wearing light pink pajamas and a facial mask on her face. She was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Her last drama has just been completed and she can finally go back to Beijing to rest for a few days.

Since "Ode to Joy" became a hit, she has been approached for more and more TV series, as well as other jobs such as endorsements and commercial performances.

Zeng Li never expected that he would not be famous when he was young, but when he reached middle age, he would accidentally meet Gu Wei, a big boy, and after acting in several dramas, he would become famous all the way to stardom.

Especially after playing the role of "Andy", many elite female characters in their 30s in TV series came to her.

There are too many scripts to handle.

I became famous and made money, but it was also really tiring and considered a happy worry.

When she was changing the channel, she heard the doorbell ringing, and she knew that the guard had arrived.

Standing up, taking off the mask and throwing it away, he walked over and opened the door.

"Sister Li, have you missed me during this time~"

Gu Wei stood outside the door with a smile on his face, looking happily at Zeng Li who opened the door. He came back for a visit and found out on WeChat that Sister Li had just returned to Beijing, so he came to find her after finishing his work.

While talking, he came in and gave Zeng Li a big hug, buried his head in her neck and took a deep breath.

"Okay~ How big a man he is, he's still like a child."

Zeng Li was very happy about Gu Wei's arrival, but there was no big expression on his face.

Let Gu Wei hug him, pat his back gently, sniff, and frown slightly.

"You smell of alcohol. Did you drink a lot at night?"

Gu Wei reached out and scratched his head.

"I took leave from the crew this time to attend the press conference of the new movie [Operation Mekong]. Afterwards, I had a meal with Yu Dong from Bona, director Lin Chaoxian and Zhang Hanyu.

Not too much to drink”

"You go sit in the living room first, and I'll get you a glass of water~"

Zeng Li said as if coaxing a child, and Gu Wei was also very obedient.

After a while, Zeng Li placed a cup of steaming water in front of him.

Gu Wei picked it up and took a sip.

“So sweet~”

“Honey lemon water can promote alcohol metabolism.

I know you have to drink when socializing outside, but alcohol is not a good thing after all, so even if you have to drink it, try to drink as little as possible.

How do you feel about your young and healthy body now? When you get older, you will know the importance of taking care of yourself."

Zeng Li emphasized the importance of the body to Gu Wei with some casual thoughts.

"I know, Sister Li, I usually don't drink much~"

"Okay, you drink water first, I'll put the hot water in, and you can take a bath to relieve your fatigue and get rid of the smell of alcohol."

After saying that, he walked to the bathroom.

Gu Wei picked up the cup and took a sip of honey water. He put his hands behind his head and leaned against the back of the sofa. He stretched his thighs and rested them on the coffee table in front of him, watching the TV that was playing a variety show.

When he comes to Sister Li's place, he can always feel the feeling of being taken care of. He feels relaxed and relaxed, and feels like the warmth of home.

After a while, Gu Wei took a shower, changed into comfortable pajamas, and watched TV with Zeng Li.

"How many days can you stay after this trip?"

Zeng Li took a plate of grapes, ate one for himself and then gave one to Gu Wei.

"I have to leave tomorrow morning. After I finish my work here, I have to go back to the set for filming."

"Oh~"

Zeng Li was a little disappointed, but she also knew that this was normal.

She has been busy with all kinds of things since she became popular. As the most popular star in the entertainment industry, Gu Wei must have much more work to do than her.

"When [Tang Detective 2] was released last month, I stayed in the capital for a while. Unfortunately, you were on the set filming at that time."

Zeng Li nodded.

"The previous film and television drama was filmed for several months, and it was only completed a few days ago~"

"I remember you told me on WeChat that it was a TV series cooperating with Jin Dong, right?"

Gu Wei asked curiously.

"Yes, Xinli Media produced it. In addition to Jin Dong, there are also Ma Yili, Wu Yue and Lei Jiayin, who we worked with before on "Tang Detective 1"."

"What's the name of the TV series?"

Hearing what Zeng Li said, Gu Wei became more and more interested. These people were all powerful actors.

"The play is called [The First Half of My Life]. The role I play is the second female lead, and Ma Yili is the female lead."

Gu Wei suddenly realized that he still had an impression of this drama. It should have been broadcast in 2017. It was considered to be a very popular drama in that year.

Moreover, Lei Datou became famous because of his role as a supporting actor. After the TV series was aired, his reputation as "Brother Ex-Husband" completely spread. He also entered the audience's attention because of his wonderful performance of this role.

He remembered that the second female lead seemed to be played by Yuan Quan in the original version, but now it was replaced by Zeng Li.

But it’s normal. Sister Li and Yuan Quan are college classmates and they are the same age. At this stage, because of the popularity of "Ode to Joy", she is much more popular than Yuan Quan, and she has also collaborated with Jin Dong as the male protagonist before. , no matter how you look at it, he is more suitable for this role than Yuan Quan.

"Sister Li, you are so popular now, why are you playing the second female lead?"

"Why is it so popular? There is no difference in the size of the role in acting. When I approached me before, I felt that the role was pretty good and the production team was also very good. So that's what happened next.

Besides, although I am somewhat famous now, my age is at stake after all, and I may have to play the role of the hero and heroine’s mother in a drama in the future.”

Zeng Li is not a popular star. She considers herself to be a real actor, so she has no habit of not acting unless she is a heroine.

For her, being more popular now means she has more opportunities to choose, but as long as the role is good, it doesn't matter if she is one female or two female actors.
