Huayu is free to do as you like

The shooting of "Dear, Beloved" went relatively smoothly after it was started. Director Liu Junjie and Gu Wei were working together for the second time after "Shan Shan Is Coming", and they had a certain tacit understanding in terms of shooting techniques and requirements.

What surprised Gu Wei was that Yang Zi didn't brag. In the first few scenes on the first day, after she got used to the rhythm of the crew and director, she quickly got into the mood of acting.

Whether it is a solo scene or a scene with Gu Wei, I can pass it in three or four times at most. There are very few NGs and the performance is very good.

It can only be said that Yang Zi, who debuted as a child star, does have two skills in acting. Although she is not particularly beautiful, her acting skills are indispensable for becoming a top female born in the 90s in the future.

Although her acting skills are not top-notch among all domestic entertainment actresses, she is definitely second to none among the new generation of idol female stars. After all, there are big babies in the domestic entertainment industry who rely on cutting out pictures and putting in eye drops to become a female star. Top-notch, the audience's requirements for celebrities' acting skills are not that high.

Another thing is that Yang Zi has a characteristic that other female stars don't have. She is not particularly beautiful, but when she is acting in idol dramas, it is easy for her to have a sense of intimacy with the male actors who play opposite her.

CP is really important, especially for idol dramas. Whether it can become popular depends entirely on whether the male and female protagonists have a sense of CP and whether the audience can relate to it.

Reba, who will be equally popular in the future, will definitely be much better than Yang Zi in appearance, but her overly three-dimensional facial features make it difficult for her to have a sense of coherence with the male actors in the same crew. This is why it will be difficult for her to produce big hits after "Three Lives Three Worlds". One of the reasons for the drama.

The first day of filming went very smoothly. After filming in the evening, Gu Wei took Yang Zi out for a big dinner as agreed.

By the way, he called Xiao Zhan, Huang Mengying and Jiang Peiyao from the same group. It turned out that the dinner between the two of them became a dinner party for the main actors of "Dear, Love".

In a private room of a local restaurant near the crew, five young people were chatting while eating.

Originally, Yang Zi was a bit unfamiliar with the other three people. After Gu Wei gave a brief introduction, she quickly became familiar with the others due to her carefree and outgoing personality.

"Did taking my role delay your other work?"

Gu Wei put a piece of sweet and sour pork chop into his mouth and asked Yang Zi casually.

He still likes to eat Shanghai cuisine, which is moderately salty and slightly sweet, which is more in line with Gu Wei's taste.

However, he felt that the sweet and sour pork ribs in this hotel were not as delicious as the ones Sister Li cooked a few days ago.

"Why didn't you delay? In order to wait for your drama, I pushed out many invitations.

How about it? Did I give you special face? Are you touched? "

Yang Zi said it without any politeness. He turned around and raised his eyebrows at Gu Wei while eating.

Her words also caused the other three people at the table to cast surprised looks.

During the opening ceremony during the day today, they knew that Yang Zi and Gu Wei were old friends, and now they saw that the relationship between the two was indeed not simple.

With Gu Wei's current status, it would have been impossible to joke with him in this tone unless he had a particularly good relationship.

"I'm touched, how can I not be touched? Little Monkey Zi is so popular, it's my honor to come and film with me."

Gu Wei deliberately said her nickname.

"Gu Wei!

Don't call me nicknames! I'll get angry if you keep doing this. This nickname is not nice at all."

Although Gu Wei and Zhang Yishan have been called that since college, Yang Zi is still a little embarrassed in front of outsiders.

Although she has a carefree personality, she is a girl after all, and the nickname "Monkey" is a bit indecent after all.

Seeing that Yang Zi was a little angry, Gu Wei stopped teasing her.

"Okay, I'll give you some face in front of others."

After arguing with Yang Zi, Gu Wei asked about Huang Mengying's recent work.

After "Three Lives Three Worlds", her vicious female supporting role "Su Jin" was also out of the circle and was criticized by netizens.

But for an actor, having a role that is remembered by the audience, even if it is a villain, is something to be proud of.

“The company has cooperated with Perfect Pictures to prepare an urban emotional drama [While We Are Still Young], starring Zhang Yunlong and Qiao Xin, with Dai Si and Liu Ruilin and I as co-stars.

When our drama is finished, I will directly join the crew..."

As she said this, Huang Mengying glanced at Yang Zi. The heroine of her next film, Qiao Xin, became famous with her in "Ode to Joy".

“Perfect film and television”

He is not very interested in the TV series Gu Wei mentioned by Huang Mengying, but the signal sent by Jiaxing's cooperation with Perfect Film and Television deserves his attention.

Gu Wei remembered that in the original time and space, [Jiaxing Media] completed the gambling agreement with [Shangshi Pictures], and then [Perfect Pictures] conducted a second financing for [Jiaxing Media]. Jiaxing’s The valuation also soared to 5 billion after this financing.

Now because of Gu Wei's intervention, Jiaxing is developing better than in the original time and space, and [Perfect Film and Television] seems to have plans to enter the game early.

Huang Mengying doesn't know what her boss is thinking. As an artist, she doesn't know much about these things at the company level.

“After the big hit [Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom], the resources of us artists in the company have reached a great level.

Especially Reba, the company arranged for her to be the heroine of two TV series in succession. The screenwriter of one of them is the original author of our drama, Teacher Mo Bao Feibao."

Huang Mengying's tone was calm, but her heart was filled with envy and jealousy.

She and Reba entered the company around the same time, and they were both unknown little actors.

The two are similar in age, and she doesn't think she is any weaker than the other in terms of looks and acting skills. However, Reba is highly praised by the company and even favored by the big boss opposite her, and she is about to rise to the top.

What she feels now is that seeing a friend who was once unknown like herself become famous is even more uncomfortable than if she didn't become famous.

"Jiaxing is now in a stage of rapid development. Coupled with the resources on my side, I can't guarantee that all of your artists will become famous, but it will not be difficult to join the second or third tier in the industry."

Huang Mengying smiled. When she first entered the entertainment industry, she thought that she would be famous in the future. Now that she has gained a certain reputation, and she has seen the development speed of her company Reba, she naturally wants more.

"Yang Zi, is [Ode to Joy 2] you filmed last year going to be broadcast?"

When Qiao Xin was mentioned, Gu Wei turned the topic to Yang Zi.

"It will be online in the middle of next month, less than a month away!" Yang Zi was busy eating shrimp balls and replied in his busy schedule.

"[Ode to Joy] is one of the rare popular dramas in recent years. This drama has made all of you Ode to Joy famous."

"Hehe, it's not bad. The main reason is that Sister Zeng Li's reputation has improved a lot, especially now that she has another hit movie "In the Name of the People", so it shouldn't be too popular."

Because of Gu Wei's relationship, Yang Zi and Zeng Li also became good friends, and she looked envious when they mentioned each other's recent popularity.

Then she thought of something and looked at Gu Wei with a smile.

"Gu Wei? Brother Wei?"

When Gu Wei heard Yang Zi's flattering tone, he glanced at her with disgust.

"You have something to say, your tone makes my skin crawl."

Yang Zi didn't care and said with a smile.

"I think I introduced you to the TV series [In the Name of the People]. You said that the TV series is so popular now and you have made money. Do you think I have a share of the credit?"

As soon as she said this, everyone else at the table looked at Gu and Wei in surprise.

Everyone knows about this drama [In the Name of the People]. It is no longer enough to describe the popularity of this drama.

Not only does its broadcast performance beat all drama kings in recent years, but its social influence is also unmatched by other TV dramas.

No matter it was Xiao Zhan, Huang Mengying, or Jiang Peiyao, no one expected that this drama was actually invested by Gu Wei.

"Yes, you have a share of the credit, but I remember you asked me for help in the beginning, right?

Logically speaking, you should owe me a favor." Gu Wei looked at Yang Zi with a half-smile.

"Ah, the relationship between the two of us is just like who helps whom.

Just tell me whether you made money in the end. Recommending Sister Zeng Li to play the role of "Gao Xiaoqin" made her even more famous! "

"Okay, even if you helped me, how should I repay you?" Gu Wei followed Yang Zi's words.

"Well, there's no need to pledge myself, just make more dramas with me in the future!"

After hearing Yang Zi's words, Gu Wei turned to stare at her.

"What's wrong, is there something on my face?" Yang Zi was a little confused.

"I don't think you are beautiful, Zi Meier. Why do you think you are so beautiful!"

After saying that, the other three people couldn't help laughing.

Yang Zi pinched her waist and was filled with indignation.

"Who says I'm not beautiful? I'm a beautiful woman, okay?"

"Okay, our Yang Zi is a great beauty. You don't have to envy Sister Li. You can't play her role. There is a big age difference between her and the character."

"But there is nothing wrong with what you said. Without you and Yishan, I would not have known Teacher Gao Yalu and invested in [In the Name of the People].

In this way, if our film [Dear Beloved] does not become a hit, I will promise to make another film with you! "

"real?

It’s better not to, I’m just kidding, you’ve already given me two heroine scripts including ours, so I’d better follow your own company’s plan.”

Originally, Yang Zi was just joking with Gu Wei, but seeing that Gu Wei was serious, she quickly refused.

Gu Wei waved his hand.

"You have to have confidence in me. I can guarantee that our drama will be a hit. I said so!"

The tablemates Huang Mengying and Jiang Peiyao looked envious as they watched the chatter between the two.

Especially Huang Mengying, she is a grade 2009 acting student at Beijing Film Academy, two grades higher than Gu Wei and one grade higher than Yang Zi.

When they were in school, Gu Wei was the school idol and Yang Zi was a child star, both of whom were famous.

The friendship between the two in school is also noticed by many people. All alumni of Beijing Film Academy know that Gu Wei, Yang Zi, Zhang Yishan and Li Xian are very good friends.

Looking at it now, Huang Mengying regretted it very much. Why didn't she try to get close to Gu Wei when she was in school? She couldn't just be his girlfriend and make a normal friend.

From Zhang Yishan who was the first to film "Yu Zui", to Li Xian who has been able to work with Zhao Liying on "The Legend of Chu Qiao", and now Yang Zi who was given the resources of two female protagonists by Gu Wei.

How come she couldn't meet this kind of person who was a good friend during college and became a golden figure after graduation.
