Huayu is free to do as you like

These days feel like a dream to Wang Churan.

She met Gu Wei with Mr. Jia from the agency, and she mustered up the courage to take the initiative, and then she successfully climbed into the idol's bed.

You know, the last time she met Gu Wei was in a film and television drama.

The difference between the two in various aspects is not too big, if not a world of difference.

She is just a newcomer in the film and television industry who has not graduated from college, while Gu Wei is a superstar standing at the top of the domestic entertainment industry.

There is one thing Wang Churan did not lie about, that is, she is really a fan of Gu Wei. She has watched his film and television dramas since high school and has never missed one.

A few months ago, she played mahjong with Meng Ziyi in Beijing. She was envious of the fact that the other party was an artist under Gu Wei, and wondered if she could get to know Gu Wei through Meng Ziyi.

Unexpectedly, now she went straight to the point.

After chatting with Gu Wei, she returned to her residence, but she still made an appointment with him for dinner in the evening, and then went to his hotel together.

During the interaction, she also became more and more active and bold from the initial immaturity, unlocking a lot of new knowledge in just a few days.

That afternoon, Wang Churan, who was curled up on the lazy sofa, had just finished watching an episode of a TV series. She glanced at the time in the upper left corner of the screen, quickly took out her phone, opened WeChat and sent a text to Gu Wei.

"Will you have dinner together tonight?

What do you want to eat?"

She was not surprised that there was no reply after she sent it.

Gu Wei was filming in the crew during the day, and his phone was definitely not with him, so it took him a long time to reply to the message.

After sending the WeChat message, she was not in the mood to watch the drama anymore. She got up and walked to the cloakroom, thinking about what clothes to wear later.

These days, she would dress up carefully before meeting Gu Wei every time, trying to show her most beautiful side to him.

While choosing among her skirts of various colors and styles, her phone rang.

Wang Churan quickly opened it, and it was indeed a message from Gu Wei, but it was not what she expected.

"Today the crew has a night scene and will shoot late, so I can't have dinner with you."

She pouted, a little disappointed, but it was also normal.

She sent another paragraph of words to support his work, and ended with a cute smiley face.

After the WeChat message was sent, there was a response soon.

"The crew is busy these days, I may not have time to see you.

Your contract for starring in [Celebrating Yu Nian 2] has been signed, and the script has been sent to your company.

There are about 2 months before the filming starts, so study the role well during this time."

Seeing this reply, Wang Churan was a little disappointed at first, but then she couldn't help but feel happy.

Although [Celebrating Yu Nian 2] is just a small supporting role, it is already the best resource she has gotten since she entered the circle.

With this opportunity, even if she can't become a hit, at least it will make her career go further and her popularity will increase greatly.

At the same time, the crew of [The Crowd].

Gu Wei, who had just finished filming a scene, sat aside to rest. After replying to Wang Churan's message, he put down his phone and looked at Reba opposite.

The reason for rejecting Wang Churan was not because the crew was busy, but because Reba joined the crew today.

"Has the filming of [The Long Ballad] wrapped?"

"It was officially wrapped the day before yesterday. As soon as it was over, I packed up and rushed over. This was considered a seamless entry into the crew."

Reba arrived in the morning, and a scene was arranged for her in the afternoon.

It was a scene where she and Gu Wei met for the first time on the overpass. She only appeared on camera but had no lines.

The original version of "Zeng Jiurong" by Andy Lau was a real villain, a professional liar, and there was no way to wash it off.

On the contrary, the boss-like "Sister Hui" hired a killer because her ex-boyfriend cheated her of her feelings and money. Although it violated the law, it could still get a little sympathy from the audience emotionally.

However, Gu Wei's version is completely different. There is no "Sister Hui". There is only a company boss who committed crimes for money and interests and was involved in gangs. He is a complete villain.

"Zeng Jiurong" became "Zeng Rong". Not only did she have more scenes, but she was also a positive character in terms of identity, and she had a clear emotional line with "Chen Xiaomeng" played by Gu Wei.

"I saw the stills posted by your crew online."

"How is it?"

"Wu Lei is very manly, and your Li Changge is also very beautiful.

It's just that your look with two "dragon whiskers" on your face is very strange."

Reba looked helpless.

"I also think that look is not very good, and I mentioned it when filming.

But the director said that the heroine in the original comics has that look, and we must follow the original."

Gu Wei shook his head.

"This explanation is too far-fetched.

Film and television and comics are completely different fields. It's okay to respect the original, but being too dogmatic will only backfire.

After all, people in reality are very different from those in comics, and it's good enough to learn to be similar."

"Now that it's all filmed, there's no point in worrying about it.

Anyway, apart from this look, I feel that the plot and costumes of "The Long Ballad" are pretty good. I hope it will have a good result when it is finally broadcast."

At this time, Reba could only comfort herself like this.

Gu Wei nodded and said nothing more.

The three beauties from the Western Regions in the entertainment industry are all top beauties, and Reba has the strongest sense of exoticism, so her limitations are also the greatest.

If it is a photo shoot, she can take the feeling of a fashion blockbuster without much makeup, which is why she always performs well on the red carpet.

However, in the camera, if there is no suitable makeup, some of her shortcomings will be easily exposed.

For example, in this "The Long Ballad", the effect she presented was not as good as Zhao Lusi.

You know, Lusi is a well-known ordinary girl in the entertainment industry.

This is not to blame Reba. Unlike Gu Wei, although she is currently a top female star, she has limited say when filming.

Whether it is the plot or the set, her words do not count.

Especially "The Long Ballad" is a big project of Penguin S+ level, it is rare to get this pie.

It can also be seen from here that Zhao Lusi is really the daughter of Penguin, and she has been supporting her since her debut.

After "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" became famous, she entered "The Long Ballad" to play the second female lead with a particularly good personality.

Then she cooperated with Yang Yang in "Who Tests the World", and worked with Wu Lei in "The Stars Are Brilliant" and "The Moon Rises Over the Sea".

These are all S+ level productions produced by Penguin.

Although Mr. Yang Yang has some flaws, such as being handsome but knowing it, and being too handsome, it has to be said that he is currently firmly sitting on the throne of the top male star in the domestic entertainment industry.

Since the film and television contract was signed with Tengxun, he has filmed many dramas produced by Penguin in the past two years.

[Who Rules the World] is a task drama given to him by Penguin, the purpose of which is to promote Zhao Lusi.

Unfortunately, the effect of this cooperation is not ideal.

After the broadcast of [Who Rules the World], the two were happy to get the titles of "Prince Duan" and "Princess Duan".

At night, in the hotel room.

Reba sat cross-legged on the sofa reading the script.

She was wearing a pink one-piece pajamas with a bear pattern, her hair was tied up high, her fair face was not made up, and she looked like she had washed up. She wore a pair of large black-framed glasses on her face, and she raised them from time to time.

Not far away from her, Gu Wei was concentrating on the laptop in front of him and occasionally tapping on the keyboard.

The two people were doing their own things and did not disturb each other.

After watching for a while, Reba felt a little tired, raised her hand and stretched, then moved closer to Gu Wei, curiously looking at the computer screen in front of him.

"What are you busy with?"

"My company has a movie coming out next month, and I'm looking at the publicity plan sent by the company."

"It's coming out next month?

Aren't the cinemas still closed now?"

"All will be open at the end of this month, returning to the state of last year."

Reba suddenly realized.

"Is that so?

But in the current environment, will anyone go out to watch a movie?

It's hard to get a good box office if it's released now~"

Gu Wei straightened up and stretched out his hand to hug Reba in his arms.

"There are many people who think like you, so the authorities will find some more attractive films to boost morale and restore the industry to its original state as soon as possible."

"In other words, you are doing this to complete the official task?"

"Partly, it was indeed the Film Bureau that found me at the beginning, but I also think this is a good opportunity.

The cinema has been closed for more than half a year, and now that it is reopened, it will inevitably usher in a wave of retaliatory movie-watching."

"What movie is going to be released?"

"Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", a large-scale crime action movie.

To be honest, if it weren't for this opportunity, there might be some trouble in releasing this movie."

Reba frowned and thought about it.

"Is it the movie you filmed in Taiwan at the beginning of the year?"

"That's right."

"You should be more cautious about the movie you star in. If the box office is not ideal due to the overall environment, it will have a great impact on you."

After hearing this, Reba looked worried.

Gu Wei's current status in the domestic entertainment industry is very special.

His status in the hearts of the audience is unmatched by others.

"Gu Wei's products must be high-quality" is recognized by everyone and has formed a good reputation.

Whether it is a movie or a TV series, as long as his name appears, it will attract countless people's attention and expectations.

The reason for this is that Gu Wei has never failed. Since his debut, every film and television drama he has starred in is excellent, and some of them can sell well at the box office even if the reputation is mediocre.

Once this golden body is broken, it will not be a setback, but the appeal will definitely weaken.

This is an irreversible and huge loss for Gu Wei himself.

"I have confidence in myself, and I have more confidence in my movies."

Gu Wei turned around and kissed Reba on her fair face to comfort her.

Beijing, Huayi President's Office.

The two brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei are discussing the release of "Eight Hundred".

This movie is directed by Guan Hu, and Huayi, Guangguang and Tengxun jointly produced a war-themed movie.

Speaking of it, the release of "Eight Hundred" is quite tortuous.

As early as 2018, the film was completed and scheduled to be released on May 25, 2019.

After half a year of promotion, it was temporarily withdrawn when the date was approaching.

It was changed to July 5th, but it was withdrawn again.

It was delayed from 2019 to 2020 and encountered the epidemic again.

Now that the theaters are about to open, the two Wangs of Huayi are also thinking about getting the movie on the screen as soon as possible.

". The Film Bureau said not to rush, wait until the market recovers before letting our movie be released."

"How long?"

"The plan is to release some Hollywood movies and re-released movies at the end of this month, and then let domestic movies be released next month."

Wang Zhongjun frowned and hesitated after hearing this.

The two withdrawals last year actually had a lot to do with the content of the movie.

It's not that Huayi doesn't want to release it, but the review is stuck and it won't be released.

[Eight Hundred] tells the story of eight hundred warriors who stayed behind in the Sihang Warehouse at the end of the Battle of Shanghai in 1937 and fought alone for four days and nights.

It involves the battle between the Kuomintang army and the Japanese army, so the censorship is relatively strict.

The two withdrawals last year were because the secondary censorship believed that some shots in the movie overly beautified the Kuomintang army.

For example, details such as the blurry shots of the Kuomintang flag and the low voice of singing military songs may cause the audience to have a misunderstanding of the Kuomintang army.

The movie was deleted and revised, so the release date was delayed again and again.

Now, in this sluggish market, the film has finally passed the review, and Huayi is also thinking about letting [Eight Hundred] be released as soon as possible.

According to Wang Zhongjun's idea, he wanted [Eight Hundred] to be released as soon as possible after the ban was lifted on July 20.

He also thought of the retaliatory viewing trend mentioned by Gu Wei, so he planned to take a gamble.

"I heard that [Wei Ming Tianxia] also has a new film released?"

Wang Zhonglei nodded.

"There is a crime-themed movie starring Gu Wei. I heard that the scale is very large, and the background is specially set in Taiwan.

I guess they also decided to release it at this time because the current environment and special review are relatively relaxed."

"What date is it?"

"Next month on the 10th."

"It seems that they have also followed the official arrangement."

Wang Zhongju frowned slightly and tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

"No matter what the theme of the movie is, as long as Gu Wei is involved, we have to pay attention to it.

The movie [Wei Ming Tian Xia] will most likely be the focus of official support.

I know the thoughts of the Film Bureau very well. It is likely that they think that the market will be cold after the cinemas are just unsealed, and they want to rely on Gu Wei's movie to drive the audience to make the market hot again."

He hesitated.

"In this way, we will start the preview a little later, on the 17th, and officially go online nationwide on the 20th!

A week and a half later, it will not have too much direct conflict with Gu Wei's movie, avoiding a lose-lose situation."

After Wang Zhongjun made the decision, [Eight Hundred] was officially scheduled, and various publicity was also rolled out.

[Wei Ming Tianxia] has also started promoting [Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils] a long time ago.

However, due to the current special environment, the main promotional forces of both companies are online, such as the official Weibo announcing the release date, and successively releasing various versions of posters and promotional videos.

It has been more than half a year since the cinemas were closed. Although movies are not a necessity in life, there are still many people who like them.

The promotion of [Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils] and [Eight Hundred] quickly spread.

Everyone is looking forward to how the two newly released domestic films will perform after half a year.

Not only the audience, but also people in the industry are paying attention.

Most practitioners lack confidence in the current market, and everyone also wants to see what kind of box office results these two films that dare to be the first to test the water will have.
