Huayu is free to do as you like

It was July, and [The Crowd] started filming in Shanghai in a low-key manner.

The Japanese version of this movie is called [The Key Stealer], and the Korean version is called [The Lucky Key], which tells a story of identity exchange.

In the bathhouse, a "killer" slipped and hit his head because he stepped on a piece of soap and lost his memory. The useless young man took advantage of the chaos to exchange bracelets with him, used his money to pay off his debts, drove his luxury car, lived in his mansion, and lived his life.

The excitement of the first half of the movie is here, changing the way of life.

The useless young man experienced the life of a rich man from having nothing, and it was refreshing.

And the "killer" thought he was a poor little actor because of his amnesia, and his life was difficult.

However, exchanging lives is not such a simple thing. There is a saying that it is difficult to change one's nature.

Although the killer and the useless young man exchanged their lives, they still retained their living habits of the past.

The killer carefully records his life every day, studies acting skills seriously (because Feichai was an unknown actor before), rationally overcomes every difficulty in life, turns the tables little by little, and finally successfully plays the worst cards to the best outcome.

On the other hand, although Feichai has a huge sum of money, he does not plan for the future at all, just spends money, and lives one day at a time. In a few days, the high-end fine-decorated apartment was ruined by him into a garbage dump.

He slowly discovered the killer's identity while enjoying himself. The employer came to him. Since he replaced someone else's identity, he naturally had to do the killer's original job, but with his ability, he could only mess things up.

Gu Wei's version is very different from Andy Lau's version in the original time and space.

First of all, in the portrayal of the characters, the main highlight of Andy Lau's version of "The Crowd" is on the "killer", and the useless young man played by Xiao Yang is useless from beginning to end.

And Rao Xiaozhi, who hopes that Gu Wei will play, must not shoot according to this version.

In his new script, the whole story is a complete two-line.

The killer "Zhou Quan" has a better life because of his hard work. He also met the single mother "Li Xiang", and the two fell in love with each other.

Chen Xiaomeng, a useless young man, didn't know what to do after receiving the task. He could only start monitoring the target, a single female accountant "Zeng Rong" according to the requirements of the task.

Although he can't do anything well, he is essentially a kind person and will definitely not do murder.

He met the target "Zeng Rong" by creating an accident, and the two gradually developed a good impression during the contact.

Chen Xiaomeng confessed her identity to the other party, and Zeng Rong also told the reason why she was hunted.

It turned out that when she was working in the previous company, she found that the boss was doing many illegal activities, but she did not call the police, but was greedy and asked the boss for a large sum of money as hush money.

But the boss was not at ease and did not intend to let her go. He wanted to kill her to eliminate the trouble forever.

After the two confessed to each other, they planned to escape, but they did not know that the boss who hired the murderer had found another group of people to monitor them.

At the critical moment, the killer "Zhou Quan" recovered his memory and found Chen Xiaomeng.

They worked together to perform a big drama in front of the employer, the accountant "Zeng Rong" was killed, and "Zhou Quan" and "Chen Xiaomeng" also died together.

After deceiving the boss who hired the killer, "Zeng Rong" chose to call the police and gave the evidence to the police.

The ending of the movie is naturally that the two pairs of lovers finally get married. "Zhou Quan" no longer works as a fake killer and becomes a well-known actor. "Chen Xiaomeng", who learned how to act from him, is no longer decadent and is getting better and better in her career.

The main roles of "The Crowd" are played by "Chen Xiaomeng" played by Gu Wei and the fake killer "Zhou Quan" played by Zhang Songwen.

This is not the first time the two have worked together. When filming "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" in the first half of the year, Zhang Songwen played the leader of a cult and had many rival scenes with Gu Wei.

"Who are you?"

In the corridor of the hospital, Zhang Songwen was lying on the bed in a hospital gown, while Gu Wei was standing next to him in a straight black suit with a basket of fruit.

"Looking for me?

Do you know me?"

Zhang Songwen looked at Gu Wei, bewildered.

At this moment, he had lost his memory and could not remember who he was.

"No, I was in the bathhouse yesterday."

Gu Wei played "Chen Xiaomeng" who was not aware that the other party had lost his memory. He came to apologize to the other party.

"Chen Xiaomeng~"

Before he finished speaking, he heard the nurse calling this name in the distance, and the two responded almost at the same time.

Gu Wei looked at Zhang Songwen in surprise.

"The attending doctor is looking for you," the nurse continued.

"I know~" Zhang Songwen replied, then stood up and walked over.

"Cut!" The director's voice came from the speaker, and this shot was over.

"I'm watching "The Secret Corner" recently, Zhu Yongping's performance is really good"

Walking aside to rest, Gu Wei chatted with Zhang Songwen, who played the father of Zhu Chaoyang and Zhu Jingjing in "The Secret Corner".

"It's OK, mainly because the script is good, and the actors in the opposite roles are all talented actors.

Especially the protagonist Qin Hao, he is worthy of being the male protagonist of art films, very impressive!"

Gu Wei nodded.

In his impression, although Qin Hao made many movies in his early years, he was never very popular.

Because he starred in art films, directors in the industry recognized him very much, but the audience was not impressed by him.

Art films are a bit niche after all.

It was not until the explosion of "The Secret Corner" that he really came into the sight of the general audience and his popularity soared.

"By the way, Mr. Gu, when will the two heroines of our movie join the cast?"

Gu Wei thought for a while.

"Dilraba will be able to join the set for filming in a few days.

Wan Qian has to wait until next month. She is recording "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" and it will be finished in less than a month. "

Zhang Songwen nodded.

“I also watched that variety show, which has been extremely popular in the past two months.

I feel that with Wan Qian’s current popularity, she can almost make it to the end and debut as a group.”

"Pretty much, she's very popular now."

The two were chatting, and Yang Dan came over.

"Boss, someone is here to visit you."

"Visiting team? Who is it?" Gu Wei looked confused. No one had told him in advance that he was coming.

"It's Mr. Jia from [Yuekai Entertainment]."

"Jia Shikai?

What is he here for? "

Gu Wei was even more puzzled.

He and Jia Shikai did know each other.

The other party was the vice president of Huanrui in his early years. Gu Wei's first TV series was "Gu Jian Qi Tan" invested by Huanrui, and he also had interactions with Jia Shikai at that time.

However, later on, the other party took Yang Yang away and established [Yuekai Entertainment], and Gu Wei had no contact with him anymore.

With this thought in his mind, Gu Wei still stood up and went over to pick it up.

"Mr. Gu, long time no see~"

Jia Shikai saw a smile on Gu Wei's face, and the two shook hands as if they were two old friends they hadn't seen for a long time.

"Why does Mr. Jia have time to come over and visit my class?"

“Haha, it’s a coincidence that I happened to be in Shanghai to discuss a project in the past two days, and the place is nearby.

I heard that Mr. Gu’s crew was filming, so I wanted to come over and visit.”

Stopping by to take a look, Gu Wei didn't believe it at all.

But he didn't say anything. Jia Shikai was a pure businessman, profit-seeking and hypocritical. If he didn't say what he was doing, Gu Wei wouldn't ask any more.

Anyway, no matter what his intentions are, as long as he asks for something, he will eventually be exposed.

The two sat in the lounge area, drank a cup of tea, and chatted for a while.

Not long after, Jia Shikai extended an invitation.

"Mr. Gu, do you have time to have dinner together tonight?"

Gu Wei hesitated for a moment and accepted Jia Shikai's invitation.

He felt that the other party's visit to the class was probably to invite him to dinner, and there was a high probability that he would talk about anything at the dinner table.

After chatting for a few more words, Jia Shikai said goodbye and left.

"Has [Yuekai Entertainment] done anything recently?" Gu Wei asked Yang Dan next to him as he watched him leave.

"Well, I heard that [Yuekai] is preparing a new drama recently, and this time it seems that they are in charge."

Gu Wei nodded.

He probably knew it.

[Yuekai Entertainment] is different from his [Wei Tianxia]. The other party is an entertainment company mainly engaged in celebrity management business.

Since its establishment in 2015, it has only invested in a few dramas, and they were all participating investments, not major productions like "Wei Tianxia".

It seems that Jia Shikai is not satisfied with being just a brokerage company, and wants to develop the company's business into film and television production.

This isn't surprising either.

In the entertainment industry, the really big companies are mainly engaged in film and television production.

For example, [Bona], [Light], [Huayi] in the film field, [Noon Sunshine], [Huanrui], [Huace] and so on in the TV field.

If you are simply a brokerage company, you can only find resources through connections, which means asking others.

In the entertainment industry, only by producing film and television resources yourself can you truly take the initiative.

In the evening, Jia Shikai was sitting in a private room of a high-end hotel with a very beautiful girl.

"Do you understand everything I told you?"

"Understood, I know what to do."

Jia Shikai nodded.

"You haven't been out for a long time, so it's logically impossible for you to have any interaction with Gu Wei.

Even if you want to give something, there is no way.

My main purpose today is to invite Gu Wei to participate in our company's TV series.

The second is to establish a relationship with him so that we can work together if there is a suitable opportunity in the future."

As he spoke, he poured himself a cup of tea, picked up the cup and took a sip.

“It’s your chance to bring you here.

You have good foundation and outstanding appearance, but whether you can become famous depends on luck.

And today, here, you will have the opportunity to change your destiny.

It just depends on whether you can grasp it."

After Jia Shikai finished speaking, the beautiful girl sitting opposite nodded vigorously.

Since she chose the profession of artist, she also has intentions and ambitions.

She is well aware of the fierce competition in the entertainment industry. Although she has a good foundation, is beautiful, and is now signed by a talent agency and is highly regarded, it is still unknown whether she will become popular in the end.

And she knows that with the strength of her company, some small resources can still help, but those popular projects and big-investment film and television dramas cannot be used at all.

She has been playing supporting roles since she signed the contract, and it is not a hit drama yet.

Just as he was thinking about it, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, and a tall and handsome figure came in.

When Jia Shikai saw this, a smile immediately appeared on his face, he put down his water glass and stood up, greeting the other party warmly.

Gu Wei was also a little surprised after entering the door. He didn't expect that there was anyone else in the private room besides Jia Shikai.

"Mr. Gu, let me introduce to you. This is Wang Churan, a newcomer to our company. She happened to have an event here in Shanghai, so I asked her to come with me."

After Jia Shikai finished speaking, Wang Churan, who was standing aside, quickly introduced himself with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Gu Wei, I am Wang Churan, currently studying at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and I am an actor.

I particularly like your TV series, from the earliest [Embroidered Spring Blade] to [Joy of Life] two months ago.

I am your loyal fan"

Gu Wei nodded.

"Hello~"

Of course he knew the other party, but in the future.

"Little Liu Yifei", "High-end version of Liu Yifei", "White Eyes Sister", "White Porridge Sister" and so on are all labels for the other party in the future.

Of course, the first two are probably packaged by the company for marketing hype.

It has to be said that the impression of the fairy in the hearts of this generation of audiences is too deep. Many beauties in the entertainment industry rely on her to improve their popularity when they debut.

For example, T0 version of Liu Shishi, T1 version of Yang Caiyu, Mao Xiaohui, and even Huang Shengyi was praised as "Little Liu Yifei" when she debuted.

Among the younger generation, some netizens said that Zhao Rusi, who had just become popular, had similar facial contours. Then there was Wang Churan. Because of her outstanding beauty, she used this label to gain a lot of attention when she debuted.

Gu Wei had not watched the TV series "My Destiny", but he had watched a lot of Douyin's complaints.

A TV series became popular because it was criticized too much, which is also rare in the domestic entertainment industry.

The three of them sat down, Gu Wei and Jia Shikai sat opposite each other, and Wang Churan, who was wearing a white tube-top dress, sat next to him.

It was the first time that Gu Wei saw Wang Churan so close in real life.

I have to say that this sister is really beautiful.

When she was standing just now, Gu Wei found that she was very tall, at least over 170 cm, with a convex and curvy figure, and a very good proportion.

The skin above the tube-top dress was white, tender and delicate, with a slender neck, an oval face, smooth facial lines, a full forehead, and plump apple muscles.

A pair of smart big eyes, a high nose bridge, and full and attractive red lips.

Judging from her appearance, she is a beautiful woman with bright and elegant appearance.

After Gu Wei arrived, Jia Shikai greeted him and the ordered dishes quickly filled the table in front of him.

The two ate and talked while Wang Churan sat next to Gu Wei, looking at him with an admiring look and pouring wine for Gu Wei from time to time.

Jia Shikai is very good at talking. No matter what topic he talked about, he never let the words fall to the ground, and he always talked to Gu Wei.

After three rounds of drinking.

"Mr. Gu, to be honest, we [Yuekai Entertainment] have a new drama to prepare for filming, and I would like to invite you to be the leading actor.

Of course, [Weiming Tianxia] can also join in as an investor."

"What movie?"

"[Heartbeat Source Project] is an urban emotional drama adapted from Miao Juan's best-selling novel [Broker]"

Gu Wei took a bite of the food and shook his head.

"I'm sorry to disappoint Mr. Jia. I can't accept it."

"Mr. Gu, don't you want to take a look at the script? The original novel of this TV series is very popular and the story is also very good." Jia Shikai is still fighting for it.

Gu Wei shook his head.

"It's not about whether the script is good or not, it's mainly because I really don't have time.

I'm going to join the crew of [Celebrating Yu Nian 2] after finishing this movie.

Then I took on Bona's super production [Changjin Lake].

My company has several TV series waiting for me to shoot, and my schedule is too full."

After he said this, Jia Shikai couldn't persuade him anymore. Although he was a little disappointed, he actually expected it.

Wang Churan beside him didn't feel depressed at all. After hearing what Gu Wei said, he shouted in surprise.

"Wow, Teacher Gu Wei, you are going to shoot [Celebrating Yu Nian 2]. I love this drama!

I've been following it since it started airing in May. After it ended, I watched it again from the beginning."

Gu Wei looked at her happy expression and couldn't help but sigh, isn't her acting very good!
