According to the original novel, the story of "East Palace" takes place between Xiao Feng, the ninth princess of the Xiliang Kingdom, and Li Chengyin, the crown prince of the East Palace of the Central Plains.

Among them, the heroine Xiaofeng is the ninth princess of Xiliang, the daughter of the Dalan family, and her blood is half Turkic and half Xiliang.

The so-called Central Plains Dynasty of the male protagonist Li Chengyin is also known from the surname as the Li Tang Dynasty.

It doesn't matter if the novel is written like this, but it would be a big problem if it was all based on the novel, because the story was originally made up by the author. If you try to apply it to real history, it is called "historical nihilism", and wars and conflicts that did not happen are fictional. It is also suspected of undermining national unity.

It seems exaggerated, but judging from the current review situation of domestic film and television dramas, this problem is very serious.

In the past, the standards for mainland films and TV dramas about history were relatively loose, but in recent years, the review has become more stringent.

For example, Zhou Xun and Huo Jianhua's version of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" went through many twists and turns before it could be broadcast on stars. This has something to do with the fact that the TV series tampered with real history.

The original version of "East Palace" was also removed from the shelves after being broadcast online. Later, many plot changes were made and re-edited before it was re-released and even broadcast on stars.

Gu Wei's version simply changed the background of the story to the Toyo Dynasty, Danchi, and the Western Zhou Dynasty from the beginning, completely imaginary, so that the large-scale scenes involving the two clans fighting, falling in love and killing each other would not be too much trouble.

The filming in Huairou went very quickly, and there were relatively few scenes here. It was mainly about shooting some indoor scenes and parts that required the use of a green screen studio.

About 10 days later, the crew left the Huairou Film and Television Base and split into two groups. One part was crew A, led by director Li Muge, including the male and female protagonists and some staff members. They went straight to Dunhuang to shoot the first ten episodes of the TV series about the desert in the Western Regions.

The other part, led by deputy director Zhao Liang, as crew B, went to Hengdian and gathered other actors to mainly shoot interior scenes in the TV series where there are no male or female protagonists, such as the part in the Toyo Palace.

Dunhuang.

"The solitary smoke is straight in the desert, and the sun sets over the long river" is what it says here.

The yellow sand and polished stone were born with the dust of history.

Dunhuang is the wind and moon at the end of the desert.

The scenery is beautiful, but the strong wind and dust are not so friendly to the crew's filming.

After filming a rivalry scene between the male and female protagonists, Gu Wei walked to the tent next to him to rest.

"Bah, bah, bah" Meng Ziyi, who followed her, also entered the tent, spitting out the sand in his mouth as he walked.

In the scene we just filmed, after she finished speaking her last line, a gust of wind blew over and sand went directly into her mouth.

Fortunately, Meng Ziyi is relatively professional, and it is not for nothing that he has been in the industry for so many years. He endured not making any moves, and the scene was considered normal.

"Here, rinse your mouth."

Gu Wei took a new bottle of mineral water and handed it over, opening one himself and taking a sip.

"Thank you~"

Meng Ziyi quickly took it and twisted it twice. He found that it was a little tight and looked at Gu Wei embarrassedly.

Gu Wei put down the water bottle in his hand and took it to help unscrew it.

"Well, I'm not green tea, I really can't unscrew it." I don't know how Meng Ziyi's brain circuit is developed, but he didn't forget to explain while handing over the water bottle.

Gu Wei almost spit out the water he had just barely had time to swallow.

"I know, you don't have the IQ to be a green tea"

Meng Ziyi pouted, took the water bottle and rinsed his mouth without daring to talk back.

"Brother, do you plan to return to Beijing to attend the Bazaar Charity Night in a few days?"

October is about to enter, and the annual [Bazaar Charity Night] is about to begin again, and both Gu Wei and Meng Ziyi are invited.

"I won't go. I'll be shooting at [East Palace] in the last month or two. There will be a lot of invitations to various parties before the end of the year.

I have a relatively important TV series to be broadcast in December, and I will have to go on a variety show to promote it in advance. I will definitely ask for leave often."

[Bazaar Charity Night] This kind of evening party with relatively high domestic entertainment attention can only be regarded as useless to Gu Wei now. With his current reputation, he can't bear the exposure.

It doesn’t hurt to go there if you have time. If you don’t have time, you don’t have to ask for leave.

"December?" Meng Ziyi thought for a moment.

"Is it the one produced by Noon Sunshine [Do you know]?"

Gu Wei smiled and nodded.

"The TV series that was filmed last year was finally scheduled to be broadcast at the end of December some time ago."

[Is this true] After the post-production of this drama was completed, the final copyright transaction price set a new high for TV drama copyright transactions in recent years, making Gu Wei really make a fortune.

In the first half of this year, the finished film of "Knowledge" has been released.

Produced by the boutique production company [Noon Sunshine], this costume TV series is a collaboration between Gu Wei, the most popular star in domestic entertainment, and Zhao Liying, the queen of ratings. When the copyright was sold, it caused a crazy competition among major TV stations.

When this TV series was set up, everyone knew that [Known or Not] was bound to be a hit. From the production team to the leading actors and actresses, all conditions were met. Whichever year it was aired, the "King of Drama" of that year would basically be locked in!

By the time the film viewing session ended, all parties were more certain of this understanding.

Ever since, after a period of fierce competition and various connections to find someone, the wealthy Mango Channel finally bought the exclusive premiere rights of [Zhifu] for a sky-high price of 900 million.

In fact, [Noon Sunshine] has a better relationship with Dragon TV and Beijing TV, but Mango Channel gives too much.

On the Internet, [Do You Know?] will be broadcast simultaneously on iQiyi, Tencent Video, Youku Video, Mango TV, and YouTube. It can be said that it is online all over the Internet, and the cards are sufficient.

And the total online copyright is as high as 550 million yuan.

[Do You Know? It Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin] received a total copyright fee of 1.45 billion, setting a new record for domestic TV drama copyright fees in recent years.

Behind this drama are [Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace], [The Rise of Phoenixes] and [The Great Military Advisor Sima Yi], which were released this year, all of which have a total copyright of over 1 billion.

However, except for [The Great Military Advisor Sima Yi], the performance of [Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace] and [The Rise of Phoenixes] is not ideal. It can be said that both TV stations and video platforms have lost money on these two dramas.

As the leading actor and investor of [Do You Know?], Gu Wei can get 30% of the total copyright fee - 435 million yuan, which can be said to be a lot of money.

From this, we can also see why the current domestic film and television dramas pay stars so high, because the really popular dramas are really profitable.

The total cost of "Knowing or Not" is 300 million yuan, and the current copyright fee is 1.45 billion yuan, making a huge profit of 1.15 billion yuan.

For a movie to make so much money, the box office must be at least 3 billion yuan.

Of course, Mango TV and major online platforms that spent a huge price to purchase the copyright will not lose money. As long as "Knowing or Not" is popular, the money they spent will also be earned back from advertisers.

"Brother, the TV series you and Sister Liying are working on is also produced by [Noon Sunshine]. It must be another national hit with super high popularity!

It is probably another [Nirvana in Fire]."

Meng Ziyi sighed.

She also knew Zhao Liying. When filming [Princess Agents], Meng Ziyi played "Yuan Chun" and played against Zhao Liying in the same group.

The two are also ordinary friends.

"When can I have such a representative work, I can also be very face-saving when I introduce myself in the future."

Gu Wei smiled.

"You are filming now, isn't our "Eastern Palace" just..."

"Yes, I will act well, and when "Eastern Palace" is broadcast in the future, it will not necessarily be worse than "Do You Know?"!" Encouraged by Gu Wei, Meng Ziyi became confident again.

Of course, most of her confidence came from Gu Wei. Since they were all costume TV series starring Gu Wei, "Eastern Palace" would not be much worse.

Gu Wei smiled and nodded, and said nothing more.

In his opinion, although "Eastern Palace" is also a very good film, with his fame, the performance will not be bad after it is broadcast in the future, but there is still a certain gap compared with "Do You Know".

As time passed, the filming of "Eastern Palace" in Dunhuang went smoothly.

In the first ten episodes, Qu Xiaofeng and Li Chengyin went from knowing each other to falling in love and preparing for the wedding. The progress was very fast. It can be said that just looking at the first part, it is not an exaggeration to say that "Eastern Palace" is a peerless sweet drama.

The filming these days can be said to be the happiest days for Meng Ziyi. Every day, she plays and quarrels with Gu Wei in front of the camera according to the plot in the script, which makes her feel like she is in love with her boss at public expense.

Gu Wei was her idol before her debut, and later she signed with his company, and there was also a star-chasing mood in it.

In the past, Meng Ziyi did not show anything in front of Gu Wei, mainly because the status gap between the two was too big, and there were too many beauties around Gu Wei, so even if she had any feelings, she couldn't say it out loud, and she didn't even have the opportunity to express it.

There were two times before that she finally mustered up the courage to invite the boss to her place to sit, but was rejected by the other party.

This time, the two finally had time to be together for a long time, and they were still playing a couple.

Although she knew that there would be more abusive scenes later, it was sweet now, as the saying goes, "I am so happy here that I don't miss Shu", and I will talk about the future later.

As night fell, under a beautiful maple tree, Gu Wei was dressed in blue and Meng Ziyi was dressed in red. The two were about to shoot the sweetest scene in the front part of [Eastern Palace] "Firefly Kiss".

"It's so beautiful. There is such a warm and lush land on the ice."

Gu Wei was brought by Meng Ziyi to a beautiful maple tree, surrounded by the river.

"This is the most beautiful place in Danchi, with flowers blooming all year round.

Look, fireflies!"

Meng Ziyi pointed to the dots of light flying in the air, with a look of surprise.

"Your grandfather doesn't seem to like me very much." Gu Wei said with some tea.

The grandfather he mentioned is Qu Xiaofeng's grandfather, the king of the Danchi tribe, and the target he deliberately approached.

"Don't worry, my grandfather doesn't like people from the Central Plains.

But before long, he will definitely like you like me!"

Meng Ziyi didn't think too much at this moment. It should be said that she always felt that Gu Xiaowu, who was aliased by Li Chengyin, was a good person and had no guard against him.

"Gu Xiaowu, do you still remember the three things you promised me?" Meng Ziyi turned her head and deliberately mentioned the previous agreement between the two.

"Of course I remember. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"First, I want you to help me catch a hundred fireflies." Meng Ziyi raised one hand and said innocently.

"How difficult is that? Wait!"

Soon after Gu Wei agreed, he came over with a group of fireflies.

Of course, it is impossible to have fireflies. This part needs to be done in post-production. Gu Wei only held an LED light in his hand, but the actor's sense of belief is extremely strong. Now this light is the firefly in the hearts of the two people.

Gu Wei and Meng Ziyi stood opposite each other. The camera photographed the two of them from the side. Gu Wei put the LED light in Meng Ziyi's hand and explained carefully:

"Be careful, don't let them get away"

"Wow! So beautiful."

Meng Ziyi looked at the lamp in his hand, as if it were really a group of beautiful fireflies.

The camera zoomed in, and Gu Wei looked at Meng Ziyi with love, and then suddenly kissed her.

Meng Ziyi was a little surprised at first, but because he also had feelings for Gu Wei in his heart, he did not resist at all.

After a passionate kiss, the two slowly separated. Gu Wei held each other's shoulders with both hands. Meng Ziyi looked up at Gu Wei, looking as pitiful as a deer.

Then, the two people's faces slowly came closer again, Gu Wei lowered his head slightly, and under the sky full of fireflies, the two kissed passionately again.

The surrounding cameras rotated around the two people, and they continued to kiss for nearly two minutes before the director shouted "Ka".

"Very good, this shot has passed, call it a day!"

After Gu Wei heard the sound, he slowly raised his head.

At this time, Meng Ziyi's face was a little red, still immersed in the affectionate kiss just now, her closed eyes slowly opened, and she looked at Gu Wei with a slightly confused look.

"Performing well~" Gu Wei encouraged with a smile.

"Yeah~" Meng Ziyi agreed softly, not as fussy as usual, and looked at Gu Wei with a shy little look.

This is the second kiss scene since the filming started.

The first scene was of the two of them in the water. It looked very romantic, but the kiss was really uncomfortable.

Today's scene was full of atmosphere, the kiss was both beautiful and romantic, and the prelude was so foreshadowing that Meng Ziyi was immersed in it.

As the saying goes, you just get involved in the drama. I like Gu Wei, and the character Qu Xiaofeng also likes Li Chengyin, so I just pretended to be myself.

Looking at it now, the effect is indeed good. The previous dialogue was NG twice, and the kiss scene was simply done once.

This made Meng Ziyi regretted why he behaved so well.

In the evening, the crew hotel.

After Gu Wei washed up and came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Walking to the door and opening the door, Meng Ziyi stood timidly outside the door.

She was wearing a navel-baring outfit, a white bra on the upper body, fan shorts on the lower body, and a pink transparent jacket on the outside.

Her hair was tied up high, and she looked over with a pair of big watery eyes on her beautiful face.

Gu Wei looked up and down, and paused for a moment on Meng Ziyi's snow-white chest. He had not noticed it before, but he did not expect that this elementary school girl had a lot of money.

"Brother, there are two scenes tomorrow that I'm not familiar with. I want to come over and ask you for advice."

Meng Ziyi looked at Gu Wei's eyes a little straight after taking a shower.

A white bath towel was draped around her body, with a big V on her chest, revealing the strong muscles inside. She swallowed secretly.

Gu Wei smiled and let Meng Ziyi in directly.

He knew exactly what the other party was thinking, and he was most familiar with the process of reading scripts at night.

Originally, he had no idea about this junior sister in the company, he just regarded her as an employee.

Otherwise, after so many years of contracting, Gu Wei would have completely eaten up the other party if he wanted to unspoken rules.

But if Meng Ziyi took the initiative, he couldn't refuse. After all, Gu Wei was not a good person.

After entering the room and sitting down, Gu Wei poured a glass of water for Meng Ziyi and then came to her side.

"Ziyi, you are from the Northeast, right?"

"Yes, my family belongs to Ji Gaoguanchun." Meng Ziyi picked up the water glass and took a sip to relieve her nervousness. She finally plucked up the courage to knock on Gu Wei's door.

"No wonder you are so tall~" After that, he added, "You have such a good figure~"

Meng Ziyi's official height is 170cm, but Gu Wei thinks she should be taller, maybe a centimeter or two.

It is an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry that if the actual height of an actress is less than 160cm, she will report her height as above 160cm, and if she is taller than 170cm, she will try to report her height as less than 170cm.

The same goes for male celebrities, whether they are tall or short, try to get closer to 180.

"It's not too high, she's a sweet girl~" Meng Ziyi said coquettishly.

When she mentioned sweet girl Gu Wei, she thought of Zhou Xi and Tian Xiwei in the company. These two were the real sweet girls.

Meng Ziyi, she is considered a "big sweet girl"!

After the two sat down, no one mentioned the drama again, but they chatted every now and then.

As the night progressed, the conversation between the two gradually disappeared, and the room became quiet, leaving only the two people sitting together looking at each other.

Meng Ziyi looked at Gu Wei's face getting closer and closer, and the sound of his breathing gradually became more rapid, which was particularly clear in the quiet room.

Gu Wei raised his hands to hold the other person's soft shoulders, just like in the scene shot at night.

Then he slowly lowered his head and kissed her. Her delicate lips were like two elastic jelly, very delicious.

Of course Gu Wei had to take the initiative when it came to this. He was not Liu Xiahui, so there was no reason not to eat the delicacies delivered to his door.

After two kisses, Meng Ziyi's response became more and more enthusiastic. She took off her pink coat at some point, and then slowly fell on the sofa.
