Chapter 525 Joining the Group [Medicine God]

This year is definitely a bumper year for Mango Terrace.

At least in terms of advertising and investment, it will definitely create the best ever.

Although I missed Gu Wei's "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" at the beginning of the year, the more popular "In the Name of the People" was aired immediately after in March.

Coming soon in May, there will be Zhao Liying's "The Legend of Chu Qiao". This drama can compete with "Three Lives Three Worlds" in terms of statistics. In previous years, it was also the king of dramas.

In terms of variety shows, He Jiong's new variety show "Longing for Life" received a good response after it was aired. In addition, "Hua Shao 3" in which Gu Wei participated became popular before it was aired. Mango Channel's various data in the first half of this year are definitely explosive. Earn a lot of money from advertising fees.

The flight from Shanghai to Nandu only takes an hour. On the plane, Gu Wei had already made arrangements for "Take my brother away quickly".

He does not plan to change his previous plan to release the film in the summer. Between the May Day and National Day dates, the summer schedule is large enough to give small-budget films a chance to compete at the box office while other big-selling movies are being released.

[Take My Brother Away Quickly] There are no stars at all. Peng Yuchang and Zhao Jinmai are not very famous now, and Zhou Xi is a complete newcomer. If it doesn't choose a suitable schedule, there is a high probability that this film will be sold out. of.

The movie itself tells the story of middle school students, so it is appropriate to release it during the summer when students are on vacation.

Gu Wei plans to set the release date for July 6.

At this time, the summer season has just begun. The Hollywood blockbuster [Transformers 5: The Last Knight], which was released on June 23, has been released for more than two weeks. It has already passed the limelight. There are still 21 days until [Wolf Warrior 2], which will be released on July 27. , leaving just enough time to win at the box office, and there were no movies that were too good at the box office during the same period.

After coming out of the airport, the special car sent by the crew was waiting at the exit of the VIP channel.

"I'm Not a Medicine God" has been filming for some time. The filming locations for domestic dramas are all in Nandu, so there is no need to travel around for filming.

After arriving at the crew, director Wen Mu also introduced several main actors in the crew to Gu Wei.

Except for Xiao Yang and Peng Yuchang, the other three people in the protagonist team of "The God of Medicine" have not changed. They themselves performed very well, and Gu Wei's own company did not have a suitable replacement, so naturally they stayed as they were.

Gu Wei greeted a few people gently. Everyone would have to work together later, so they should become familiar with each other first.

Several people also knew that Gu Wei, the big star, was the real boss of the show, and they were very respectful to him.

"Is everything going well from the moment the movie was started to now?"

After walking around, Gu Wei chatted with Wen Mu alone.

“It went very smoothly. The preparation for this film took a long time and all preparations were well done.

The staff of the crew have been trained in the previous drama, and I can use it very easily."

Unlike the filming of "Love Saint", where Gu Wei had to sing a bad role to help support him, now Wen Mu is also on the set and absolutely speaks for himself, and he has begun to show the temperament of a great director.

These are all effects brought about by the huge sales of [Love Saint].

In fact, it is the same no matter what industry you are in. Only when you achieve results will others respect you and will your words be listened to.

"How was the effect of the previous drama? This drama is different from the previous comedies. The requirements for actors are relatively high."

Gu Wei still wanted to know the effect of Xiao Yang as the protagonist, and whether Wen Mu could be satisfied with the director.

"The effect is very good. Xiao Yang's acting skills are very good. I always thought he was a pure comedian. I didn't expect that this filming of [The God of Medicine] gave me a big surprise."

Judging by his expression and tone, Wen Mu is also very satisfied with the protagonist Xiao Yang.

"Many comedians' acting skills are among the best in the industry, but people often overlook this."

The most typical ones are the King of Sketch and his old partner Fan Wei. After they stopped acting in sketches and made movies and TV series, they both contributed actor-level performances.

There is also Brother Zhuan Yu, who worked with Gu Wei in "Wolf Warrior 2", and his acting skills are not inferior to any professional actors.

"When are you going to shoot the scenes in India?" In addition to Nandu, [I'm Not the God of Medicine] will also go to India for filming, mainly filming scenes where the male protagonist goes to an Indian pharmaceutical factory to buy medicine.

"When all the dramas here in China are completed, the dramas with only Xiao Yang on the other side will be relatively simple."

Gu Wei, who arrived on the set the day before, did not start filming immediately. After chatting with Wen Mu for a while, the crew continued the day's filming. Gu Wei sat aside with interest and watched everyone filming.

As Wen Mu also said, Xiao Yang's performance was indeed good. After Gu Wei saw his performance, he felt that it was not inferior to Xu Zheng in the original version.

Both of them have the greasiness of middle-aged people, and they have some inherent joy, but once they get serious, the emotions they burst out are very shocking.

The rest of the cast is equally great.

Wang Chuanjun, who plays "Lu Yiyi", is tall and thin, with sunken cheeks and pale face. This is not entirely the work of the makeup artist. According to the director, after Wang Chuanjun took the role, in order to show the character's frailty, he completed 8,000 times a day. Jumping rope, I lost more than 20 pounds.

The crew previously filmed a scene in which Wang Chuanjun was lying on a hospital bed. In order to show the feeling of his whole body collapsing in front of the camera, he stayed up for two days without sleeping.

Gu Wei had no contact with Wang Chuanjun, but had a rough understanding of him through movies, TV series and some news.

What should I say about this person? He is a good actor. You can even call him a lunatic. It can be seen that he has pursuit in the performing arts.

It means that the emotional intelligence is relatively low, or that the person is not tactful enough, and it is easy to act on impulse.

At first, he became known to everyone for his role as "The Miracle of Guan Gu" in "Love Apartment", and the crew of "Love Apartment" can also be regarded as his benefactor and supporter.

But when [Love 5] was in preparation for filming, he directly rejected the crew's invitation and clearly expressed his disgust for the role of "Sekiya Miracle" online.

To the audience, Wang Chuanjun's behavior is like picking up the bowl to eat, then cursing his mother when he puts the bowl down, which is extremely ungrateful.

[Love Apartment] has been involved in plagiarism controversy and has a really bad reputation, but Wang Chuanjun could just like Chen He and guest star in a few scenes to have a good time with the crew and the audience.

As a result, he used the method that was most detrimental to himself.

And when "The Ferryman" was released at the end of last year, half of the stars in the entertainment industry were trying to flatter Wang Jiawei, and the screen was flooded with "I like it too!"

Only Wang Chuanjun went out of his way to post on Weibo, "I don't like it!"

If you want to say that he is attracting attention, he is the only famous star in the entire entertainment industry to stand up and speak out. Compared with the favor he gained from the audience, he completely offended Wang Jia's position, and he was also the one who admired Director Wang. Celebrities will not be fond of him.

It is said that when Wang Jiawei was planning to film "Prosperity", Wang Chuanjun went to audition, but because of his popularity and acting skills after the release of "The God of Medicine" at that time, he returned empty-handed.

In addition to Wang Chuanjun, the heroine Tan Zhuo in "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is also a capable actor.

Although she is not a professional, her first film in the film industry was the romance film "A Night with a Drunken Spring Breeze" directed by Lou Ye.

Cooperating with Qin Hao, the little prince of literary films, she played the heroine in her first film, and was nominated for Best Actress at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival.

Tan Zhuo is a bit similar to Zhou Xun. They are both talented actresses. Later, she collaborated with Bao Qiang in "Hello! Mr. Tree", Zhang Yi in "The Chaser", and all the way to "I'm Not the God of Medicine" 】The single mother "Liu Sihui" in .

Although Tan Zhuo has never been very famous, her acting skills are recognized by many directors and professionals in the film circle, especially the art film circle.

Gu Wei is very optimistic about her cooperation with Xiao Yang in "I'm Not the God of Medicine". As early as when Xiao Yang was signed, he bought the rights to adapt the Indian film "The Legend of Manslaughter" and waited for "The God of Medicine" to be a big hit. Later, the two of them happened to be together in [Manslaughter], which immediately became a topic!

After a day of filming, Gu Wei specially arranged a dinner party for the crew at a nearby hotel in the evening.

If he was just an actor, he could just join the crew to film, finish the film and leave, but Gu Wei is still an investor and nominal producer, and most of the crew are employees of his company, so there are more things to consider.

The atmosphere at the dinner party in the evening was very good. It has been more than a month since the production of "God of Medicine" was started, and everyone has been busy with the filming work. Everyone was very happy to relax once in a while.

"How do you feel after joining the cast? Did you encounter any problems during the filming?" At the dinner table, Gu Wei was concerned about Peng Yuchang's filming situation. After all, he was the one who joined the cast. In addition to playing the role of Xiao Yang's son, the entire crew That child was his youngest.

"Um~ To be honest, it was quite difficult at the beginning. I didn't perform well in many shots. The number of NGs was the highest in the group."

Peng Yuchang wore a short haircut and looked stunned. His iconic yellow hair in the movie was a wig, and he could just take it off when he got a haircut later.

“Fortunately, several teachers on the crew took good care of me and told me how to act in certain places, and the literary director also had the patience to polish the shots over and over again.

Now I feel I'm getting better, I feel like I'm one with the 'Huang Mao' in the movie."

"Oh? Listening to your tone, you are very confident in your performance~

I have to ask the literary director if this is the case? "

Peng Yuchang didn't refute what Gu Wei said, scratching his head and smiling innocently.

"Peng Peng is performing really well now, much better than when he first started playing!" Xiao Yang said with a smile.

He and Peng Yuchang are both artists under Gu Wei. Their age and image are so different that there is almost no competition for resources. They quickly became friends after filming together.

"Thanks to Brother Xiao's help and the literary director's training." Peng Yuchang felt a little embarrassed.

"Haha~ The main reason is that you have this talent. Acting is a profession that requires a lot of talent. Plus, if you are willing to work hard, you will naturally grow very quickly."

After listening to what the two said, Gu Wei smiled and nodded.

Peng Peng is average-looking and has no chance of becoming an idol star. Fortunately, his talent in acting is pretty good, and he may be able to take a more capable route in the future.

Gu Wei remembered that in 2018, he was nominated for [Best Actor at the 55th Bay Area Film and Golden Horse Awards]. Although he failed to win the Best Actor Award, being nominated was a symbol of his strength.
