Huayu is free to do as you like

The next day, Gu Wei got up early to act, and Zeng Li came to the crew in the afternoon.

After changing clothes and putting on makeup, it took less than half an hour to shoot a shot and said a line to Huang Bo. Zeng Li's work, which had come all the way from Beijing to Guizhou, was completed.

There were many other people in Gu Wei's crew who showed up for a cameo, such as Peng Yuchang and Zhang Zifeng.

The two played Huang Dabao and Dong Ahua in their youth.

There was not even a line, and there was only one shot throughout the whole process.

But no one complained, [My Hometown and Me] was originally a tribute film, with an all-star cast.

Each crew also found actors through the director's personal connections, and those who could come to act were mentally prepared.

After finishing his own scenes, Zeng Li did not come to the crew during the day the next day.

Following Gu Wei's suggestion, he visited the surrounding Miao villages and China's Sky Eye, just as a tour.

In the evening, he returned to the hotel and had a warm time with Gu Wei, and the days were extremely comfortable.

"Fan Xian's mother is so amazing. It seems that she has participated in everything. These high-ranking figures seem to be related to her."

In the hotel room, Gu Wei accompanied Zeng Li to watch [Joy of Life].

"That's for sure. Ye Qingmei is the first time traveler in the true sense. Most of what Fan Xian experienced was under the protection of his mother Yu Yin.

Sister Li, guess who Fan Xian's real father is?"

"Isn't it Emperor Qing?"

"Have you read the original novel?"

"No, when I was watching it on the video platform, many people posted it on the barrage.

Including Wu Zhu's identity and Barrett in the box, I knew it from the barrage"

"Well, the drama adapted from the novel is like this. If the main line is not changed, the original fans already know most of the plot"

"The sequel of this drama will start shooting in the second half of the year, right?" Zeng Li thought of something while watching the TV.

Gu Wei nodded: "It is scheduled to start filming around October.

[Celebrating Yu Nian] has three parts in total, and I plan to shoot all of them within 5 years."

"Starting filming the second part so soon is really good news for the audience who like this drama!"

"I mainly consider that teachers Chen Daoming and Wu Gang are very old. If it takes too long, it will be troublesome if they can't shoot later if something happens."

After watching the two episodes today, Zeng Li took the initiative rarely, and Gu Wei naturally gave her a warm response.

After a period of lovemaking, Zeng Li lay in Gu Wei's arms, with a slender jade hand on his chest.

"I'll leave tomorrow morning."

"Did Mango TV urge you?"

"No, it's just that according to the previously scheduled recording time, I need to be in Changsha before the day after tomorrow."

Gu Wei stroked Zeng Li's black hair with one hand, and slowly slid to the other's fair and delicate back.

"Come on, I look forward to seeing your wonderful performance on TV.

Don't forget our bet"

Time slowly came to the end of May, [A UFO Falls from the Sky] had completed most of the filming, and the popular [Celebrating Yu Nian] had also entered the second half of the plot.

Fan Xian was ordered to go on a diplomatic mission to Northern Qi, and Sean played by Yu Rongguang, Haitang Duoduo, the Saint of Northern Qi played by Xin Zhilei, and others appeared one after another.

After returning to the hotel after the show in the daytime, the staff debugged the equipment, and after the connection was successful, Gu Wei started the live broadcast with Jing Tian and others today.

"Hello everyone~"

Gu Wei greeted the computer screen.

Today's live broadcast was organized by Tengxun Video. In addition to Gu Wei and Jing Tian, ​​there were also Tian Yu, Tian Xiwei, Guo Qilin and Xin Zhilei.

"Brother Wei, are you in the crew?" Guo Qilin responded first.

"Yes, I'm filming, so I have time to video chat with you in the evening"

"I'm so envious. Those who have a show at this time are all big stars!" Guo Qilin praised.

"Haha, I'm the director this time, I can still act without a big name~"

"Brother Wei, please give me a chance~" Guo Qilin said jokingly.

"There's no hope this time, I'm about to finish shooting here.

Da Linzi, let's wait until the second half of the year for the second part to start shooting"

During the live broadcast, Gu Wei talked about the shooting of [Celebration of Life 2] in a chat way.

As soon as he finished speaking, the live broadcast room was immediately flooded with replies from netizens.

[Oh my god, they're going to shoot 2, that's great! ]

[It's been rumored that "Celebration of Life" will start the second part this year, but the official hasn't confirmed it. Gu Wei said so, it seems to be true. ]

[In addition to the male lead, Gu Wei is the producer of "Celebration of Life". This drama was produced by his company, so the second part is sure to happen! ]

[I was still worried when I saw "Celebration of Life" was broadcast to the end. Many things were not explained. I was afraid that it would be anticlimactic. It turns out there is a second part. ]

[I hope the crew will shoot quickly. The more than 40 episodes of the first part are not enough to watch! 】

"Tiantian should be filming in Hengdian now, right?" Gu Wei asked Jing Tian.

"I just came here, and the crew here will officially start filming in a few days."

"Brother Wei, I am also in Hengdian. I had dinner with Sister Tiantian the day before yesterday." Tian Xiwei on the other side of the camera opened her eyes wide and smiled.

"I also accidentally met Xiaotian when I came here. Their crew was filming, and then we had dinner together."

After Jing Tian finished speaking, Gu Wei exchanged a few words with Tian Yu and Xin Zhilei. Everyone chatted with each other to warm up the atmosphere, and the host spoke up and started to get into the main topic of the live broadcast.

Today's live broadcast is not the first live broadcast by the creators of [Qing Yu Nian]. Gu Wei and Jing Tian have previously conducted separate live broadcasts on Lianmai to promote, but today there are more and more complete people.

The host asked questions about "Celebrating More Than Years" one after another, and Gu Wei and others answered them one after another.

Then, we will ask targeted questions about the different roles played by everyone.

"Ask Gu Wei, now that the TV series is showing Fan Xian on his mission to the Northern Qi Dynasty, many viewers are very dissatisfied with Fan Xian and Haitang Duoduo.

So who do you think is more suitable for Fan Xian, Lin Waner or Haitang Duoduo? "

"There is no doubt that it must be Lin Waner. In [Qing Yu Nian], Fan Xian's only official spouse was Waner.

Others, including Si Lili and now Haitang Duoduo, can only be regarded as good friends."

"In real life, do you prefer the character of the female character in [Qing Yu Nian]?"

"In fact, no matter whether it is Lin Waner, Haitang Duoduo, Fan Ruoruo or Si Lili, they all have their own distinctive character traits due to their different backgrounds.

I definitely like Ruoruo more, after all, who can refuse a sister who believes in him unconditionally?"

"When you started chatting, you mentioned the second part of [Qing Yu Nian]. Can you tell the audience about it?"

“If you have read the original novel, you should know the general plot of [Qing Yu Nian].

The original work is a long novel, and only part of the first 40-plus episodes could be filmed.

So when we first started preparing for this drama, we planned to shoot three parts to tell the entire story.

According to the original plan, the second part will be officially launched in the second half of this year.

As for the third part, filming will also start after the second one is aired."

The promotion of the live broadcast that night added fuel to the already popular "Qing Yu Nian", and the last two episodes revealed by Gu Wei live broadcast made netizens talk a lot.

Countless fans of the drama "Celebrating More Than Years" cheered and were delighted with the preparations for the sequel.

On June 1st, Children’s Day, the crew of [A UFO Falls from the Sky] officially wrapped.

"Baoqiang, thank you for your hard work this time~"

At the film crew's closing banquet, Gu Wei said to Wang Baoqiang, who was sitting next to him.

Because it was a gift film, the other party only received a token salary for participating in the filming this time, and it was all for Gu Wei's sake.

"Don't be so polite to me, this is what I should do.

With our relationship, if you have anything to say, you can just open your mouth."

Wang Baoqiang waved his hand nonchalantly.

Gu Wei patted his shoulder and said nothing more.

The main table was filled with people drinking and chatting, and the atmosphere was very lively.

When talking about movies, Huang Bo mentioned the "Tang Detective" series and asked Gu Wei when the third part would be released.

"It was originally scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival this year, but wasn't it canceled due to YI sentiment?

I got news that domestic theater chains will slowly open up in July or August, and then gradually return to their previous state.

I plan to have [Tang Detective 3] released during the Spring Festival next year.”

"It's a pity. According to the box office result of the second part of 3.9 billion, if there is no YI Qing, the third part should not have any problem with a box office of 4 billion or 5 billion during this year's Spring Festival.

In the current environment, even after full liberalization, whether the market can return to its previous state is still a question.”

Huang Bo said with some regret.

His thoughts actually represent a large part of the people in the film and television industry. The cold winter in film and television is no joke. Everyone is tightening their belts and living in a generally pessimistic attitude towards the future.

"There's nothing you can do about it, no one can change the general environment, but I believe that as long as our country's economy gets better and better, even if the film and television industry is in some slump due to various reasons, the final trend will still get better and better.

As filmmakers, our most important thing is to bring good works to the audience."

Gu Wei was full of confidence, and his words inspired the people at the head table.

Wang Baoqiang picked up his wine glass.

"The director is right, polishing the work and making a good movie is the most important thing!"

Gu Wei also picked up his wine glass and clinked it with him.

"You told me before that you wanted to make an inspirational movie about fighting. Don't forget to tell me that you have started preparations.

You may not be able to do anything else, but I will provide you with whatever you are short of in terms of funds.”

"I know"

Baoqiang looked at Gu Wei with a grateful expression.

He has been quite unhappy in the past few years. Emotionally, his wife cheated on him and his manager gave him a heavy blow. Although the problem was solved, his wife also took away a lot of his property.

In terms of career, his directorial debut "Havoc in Tianzhu" was criticized to death, and the movie "The New King of Comedy" starring Zhou Xingchi was also rejected. Even his subsidiary company "Lehuahua Pictures" was criticized because of Ning Hao's "Crazy" with a guarantee of 2.8 billion. aliens] and suffered losses.

If there was no external investment in the filming of "Inside the Octagon", he really wouldn't be able to support it on his own.

"Nothing to say, it's all in the wine."

As he spoke, Baoqiang drained the remaining wine in his glass.

Gu Wei also took a sip.

He really wants to help Wang Baoqiang, and "Octagonal Cage" has received good box office and word-of-mouth reviews, and the rate of return is super high, so this is a win-win situation.

On the private plane back to Beijing, Gu Wei looked at the script that his agent had brought to him recently.

"I won't consider any of this, but I'll refuse more politely in this reply."

After reading it, Gu Wei put the pile of notebooks aside, pointed to the top one and said.

He said that the movie he declined politely was called [1921], a theme-themed gift film jointly produced by Shanghai Film and Television Films and Tengxun. It was similar to [Party Founding], and he was asked to play the male lead Li Da.

Gu Wei didn't want to take it. Firstly, he had no interest in the script, and secondly, there was really no schedule.

The planned start date for [1921] is around August. Gu Wei has already scheduled two dramas [The Crowd] and [Qing Yu Nian 2] for the second half of the year, so there is absolutely no time left.

But after all, it is a gift film controlled by Shanghai Film Group. He rejected last year's "The Climber", and this time "1921" Shanghai Film approached him again. The other party is a state-owned film group second only to China Film Group, even if it does not cooperate Gu Wei didn't want to get into trouble with Ying.

After reading all the scripts, Gu Wei hesitated on the one he left behind.

There are three big characters written on the cover: "Winter and Lion".

Many people may not know "Winter and the Lion", but another name of this movie is very famous "Changjin Lake".

[Changjin Lake], like [1921], is also a tribute film with the main theme, and the main control parties are Bona Film and Television and Bayi Studio.

The movie is good, but it still has the same problem. Gu Wei has no time to make a new movie this year.

After the plane landed, Gu Wei returned to the Beijing company and first found an editor to start the post-production of "A UFO fell from the sky".

After working in the editing room for two consecutive days, Gu Wei's work became much easier after he communicated well with the editor about the style and tone of the film.

"Yu Dong?"

Just after returning to the office and sitting for a while, Gu Wei received a call from Bona Yudong.

"Sorry, Mr. Gu, I didn't disturb your filming, right?"

"No, I just came back from finishing a movie two days ago. Does Director Yu have anything to do with me?"

"Have Mr. Gu watched the movie [Winter and the Lion] that Bona sent me?"

Yu Dong said straight to the point.

"After reading it, the script is very well written. The military-themed scripts written by Lan Xiaolong are very high-level."

Lan Xiaolong, the screenwriter of "Winter and the Lion", is also the screenwriter of "Soldier Assault" and "I Got to Commander My Regiment". He is best at writing military-themed scripts.

“Haha, Bona is going to invest a lot of manpower, material resources and money into this movie to make it a benchmark for domestic war movies.

Of course, in the current market environment, if you want to make a super production, you have to have super actors. Only with Mr. Gu here, can I rest assured that the movie will not lose money."

Gu Wei hesitated.

"Dr. Yu, I am very optimistic about the script, but there was really no schedule before the year."

"Mr. Gu, don't refuse in a hurry. As long as you join, we can discuss other issues.

In this way, whenever Mr. Gu has time these days, let's go out to have a meal and chat."

"OK"

After hanging up the phone from Gu Wei, Yu Dong thought for a while and asked Lin Chaoxian to come over.

"I've already made a move on Wu Jing's side, but Gu Wei still hesitates. Director Lin will come with me later and ask Gu Wei to have a meal to help me persuade him."

Lin Chaoxian nodded: "No problem!"

He is also one of the directors of [Changjin Lake], and he really hopes that Gu Wei will join.
