Huayu is free to do as you like

Wang Churan spoke very quietly to his manager, but Wu Jinyan, who was sitting aside, probably heard the conversation between the two.

[Shang Shi] has been filming for more than three months, and her relationship with Wang Churan is not bad.

After the other party's agent left, Wu Jinyan asked curiously: "Are you going to audition for the play [Wei Ming Xia]?"

Wang Churan hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Are you auditioning for the female lead in Gu Wei's drama?"

She nodded again.

Wu Jinyan's eyes widened in disbelief.

Although she had just heard some conversations, she was still very surprised after Wang Churan was confirmed.

“Are you [Hyatt] so strong?

I heard that Gu Wei's dramas usually don't involve external casting, especially the female lead, who is basically pre-determined.

Either those top 85 celebrities or people from his own company, it is difficult for other female celebrities to get opportunities."

Wang Churan smiled.

“Before I joined the group, I played a role in [Qing Yu Nian 2], and I met Teacher Gu Wei.

Maybe he thought that my image was more suitable for the heroine of the new drama, so he gave me the opportunity to audition.

At present, I only have the opportunity to audition, and I am not sure whether I will be selected."

There is no need for Wang Churan to be secretive about "Qing Yu Nian 2". This drama is a sequel to a hit, and it has been in the spotlight from preparation to filming.

The final makeup photos of the main actors have also been posted on the official website.

Needless to say, the old actors in the first part, and the new characters added in the second part are very popular among netizens.

The TV series hasn't aired yet, but Wang Churan has already attracted a lot of traffic because of his beautiful appearance as "Sang Wen".

"That's great. I really envy you for having such a good opportunity."

"Sister Yan, you are so popular now, there is no need to envy me."

Wu Jinyan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“Everyone in the circle hopes that they can become famous, but if the popularity is too sudden, it is easy to get carried away by this vanity and do some irrational things.

We celebrities seem to be liked by many people, but in fact our fame is very empty. If we don't pay attention, we will be in danger.

If it weren't for my boss's strong support, I might have become the fastest and most popular star in the entertainment industry."

Wang Churan knew what she meant.

After "Story of Yanxi Palace" became a hit, Wu Jinyan received an interview invitation from the movie channel. Not only did he act like a celebrity during the recorded interview, but he even left halfway through the interview.

After the interview, CCTV Channel 6 ended up naming and criticizing Wu Jinyan, who had just become famous, and his reputation suffered a heavy blow.

Of course, Wu Jinyan later came forward to apologize, explaining that it was a mistake in the team's arrangements.

"Forget about these unhappy things, what's the name of the new drama you're auditioning for?" Wu Jinyan waved his hand and asked again.

"I don't know yet, I just received the letter and I haven't seen the script or anything.

But I heard it’s a serious drama with a historical theme.”

"Really, that's even more rare.

As a young actor, there are more opportunities for ancient puppets and modern puppets, but the opportunities to star in major dramas are rare.

I actually really like Gu Wei's dramas, but it's a pity that I never had the chance to work with him.

Just like the drama we are filming now, I also sent him an invitation during the preparation, but he rejected it directly."

"Sister Yan, you and Teacher Gu Wei are both very good actors. We will definitely have the opportunity to work together in the future," Wang Churan comforted.

Wu Jinyan smiled and said: "Let's talk about the future later. You have to work hard and make sure to seize this rare opportunity!"

Wang Churan clenched his fists as he listened to the other party's words of encouragement.

"I will!"

After the day's shooting was over and he returned to the hotel, Wu Jinyan dialed Yu Zheng's phone number.

"Teacher Yu, I heard that [Wei Ming Xia] is preparing a historical drama, with Gu Wei playing the leading role.

The key is that the heroine of this drama has not been decided yet. Can the company work on it?

Even if I can have a chance to audition, that would be great."

Wu Jinyan was picked up by Yu Zheng. She is an artist under Yu Zheng's banner.

After offending CCTV by acting like a big name, Yu Zheng did not give up on her, but contacted her with many film and television resources so that she could maintain her popularity.

"The news must be accurate."

"Okay, I'll wait for news from the company."

After chatting for a while, Wu Jinyan hung up the phone, his smiling face softened, and his eyes looked outside through the window.

"Chu Ran, it's not that I'm not picky, it's just like this in the entertainment industry. Opportunities are rare.

I will be grateful to you if things work out, but if not, we will still be good friends."

[Wei Tianxia] The company’s screening room.

Gu Wei, Rao Xiaozhi and several company executives watched the finished film of "The Crowd" together.

Two hours later, the lights in the screening room came on.

"Congratulations, Director Rao, another excellent movie!"

Gu Wei smiled and said to Rao Xiaozhi beside him.

Yang Liwen, Zhao Mingcheng and others also expressed their congratulations to him.

Rao Xiaozhi said a few words of modesty.

After coming out of the screening room, Gu Wei took Director Rao to his office.

"Mr. Gu, when will the movie [Life Events] we filmed before be released?"

Rao Xiaozhi took a sip of coffee and did not ask about [The Crowd], but mentioned the [Life Event] that was filmed in 2019.

"Originally it was planned to be released in the first half of last year, but it was postponed due to pornography.

I attach great importance to this drama and plan to schedule it on this summer’s schedule.”

Rao Xiaozhi nodded. Compared with the just completed "The Crowd", "Life Events" has a higher position in his heart.

After all, "The Crowd" is a remake of a comedy. With the boss guaranteeing the box office, making money is definitely not a problem.

"Life Events" is a truly profound and meaningful film. In addition to the box office, it is likely to help him win some awards.

"As for "The Crowd", it will be released either on May Day or on the National Day after the summer vacation. Both schedules are more suitable." Gu Wei continued.

"The company decides, I have no objection."

The two chatted for a while, and Rao Xiaozhi mentioned the "Millions of Miles Return" that was being prepared.

"Guo Fan is completely a hands-off boss. Recently, I have read a lot of information about diplomats, and the script written by the company is also planned to be overturned and rewritten.

Originally, Lu Yang was helping me prepare, but his movie will be released soon during the Spring Festival, so he went to busy himself."

There is still about a month before the Spring Festival, and Lu Yang's "Assassination of Novelists" is also one of the popular movies during this year's Spring Festival.

"So, up to now, there is no clear script for the movie?" Gu Wei asked.

"Yes, but the general story framework has been established, and we only need to add and subtract to improve it later."

"Then Mr. Yang said you want me to play the male lead?"

Rao Xiaozhi said a little embarrassedly: "Boss, I feel relieved that you can play the role, so I want to discuss with you whether it can be decided in advance."

Gu Wei said helplessly: "First of all, I probably don't have a suitable schedule this year, and secondly, you haven't even decided on the script, so how can I consider whether to accept it.

In this way, you should first prepare the most important script and show it to me, and then we can discuss the performance."

"Okay, I will send it to you after the script is perfected."    On the weekend, snowflakes began to fall in Beijing, and it didn't take long before the city was covered in white.

Outside was a world of ice and snow, but in the single-family villa of Runze Manor, a group of people were eating hot pot and drinking wine.

"Gu Wei, why didn't you come to any of these year-end ceremonies this year?"

Yang Zi picked up a piece of hand-cut lamb meat that had been cooked, rolled it in the sesame sauce in front of her, then put it in her mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it with a sigh of enjoyment.

The year-end ceremony she was talking about was the award ceremony held by major platforms every year, such as the Tengxun Starlight Awards, iQiyi Scream Night, and Weibo Night.

They are basically held in late December and early January every year.

"Of course I couldn't go because I had something to do."

Gu Wei picked up a thin piece of beef and put it in the boiling hot pot. After 8 seconds, he took it out and dipped it in the sauce as soon as the beef changed color.

Of course, he didn't attend the various galas this year because he accompanied Nazha on a trip abroad some time ago, but this kind of thing is not convenient to bring up.

"Yang Zi, are you mentioning this to show off that you won the Weibo Queen this year?"

Zhang Yishan sat opposite the two of them, smiling and teasing Yang Zi.

"No, am I the kind of person who likes to show off?"

"Yes," he said, Zhang Yishan nodded naturally.

Li Xian and Peng Yuchang beside him also laughed.

Zhou Ye beside Yang Zi pursed his lips, looking like he wanted to laugh but tried not to laugh.

In fact, Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan had been planning to get together a long time ago, but everyone was busy with their own work and it was not convenient for them to have time.

After New Year's Day, Gu Wei came back from vacation, and everyone happened to be in Beijing, so it was natural for everyone to get together.

The location was still the villa that Gu Wei bought the earliest.

Everyone ate hot pot and sang songs, sharing some interesting stories during the filming, and the atmosphere was very happy.

"I watched Peng Peng's [The King of Bathing] some time ago. It was well made and the box office results were also good.

But I'm a little curious, did you learn to scrub your body after filming?"

Everyone chatted with each other, and Gu Wei mentioned Peng Yuchang's movie last month.

"I did learn it. At that time, I found some professional bathing masters for the drama group. I practiced with Teacher Qiao Shan for a long time," Peng Peng explained with a smile.

"Did Qiao Shan take you to a big health care?" Gu Wei raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"Yes, is there a one-stop service?" Zhang Yishan winked at Peng Peng.

Peng Yuchang was a little embarrassed: "How is it possible? We are filming in the crew, how can we do other things.

And Teacher Qiao Shan only plays a lot of big health care. He told me that he doesn't go to that kind of place at ordinary times."

Zhou Ye listened to their conversation with a puzzled face.

"Big health care is massage, what does one-stop service mean?"

Hearing her ask this, everyone laughed.

Yang Zi curled his lips: "Can you guys talk about something healthy?

By the way, Gu Wei, your movie is about to break 2 billion. When I saw it this morning, the real-time box office was just a little bit short."

"Really?"

Gu Wei listened to Yang Zi's words and turned on his mobile phone.

Sure enough, the total box office of "Send You a Little Red Flower" was 2.003 billion yuan.

After four weeks of release, the movie finally surpassed the 2 billion mark.

But that’s it. The movie’s current single-day box office is less than 5 million, and it will be off the screen in less than ten days.

“It really broke 2 billion!” Zhou Ye stretched his head and looked at Gu Wei’s mobile phone screen.

“Tsk tsk, this is your first movie with a box office of over 2 billion?

To be honest, being an actor of the same generation as you, and of similar age, is really a despairing thing! "Yang Zi sighed.

"How can it be as exaggerated as you say"

"It's better for me to be an actress. Ask them if they feel the same way?" Yang Zi signaled Zhang Yishan and Li Xian with his eyes.

"I don't feel that way. Gu Wei is my boss. Employees are happier when their boss is capable!" Li Xian shrugged.

Zhang Yishan smiled and said, "Neither do I. We are not on the same track. There is no comparison at all."

After talking and laughing, eating and drinking, the few of them simply cleaned up the table.

Zhang Yishan took Peng Peng to the game room to play video games, while Yang Zi and Li Xian sang karaoke in the living room.

Gu Wei was originally listening to the two singing, and Zhou Ye came to him.

"Brother Wei, the agent told me that the company arranged an audition for me?"

Gu Wei turned his head and looked at Zhou Ye and nodded.

"Yes, a TV series about revolutionary history, I play the male lead.

The director didn't have a suitable candidate for the female lead, so I recommended you and Meng Ziyi for an audition. We'll see who is more suitable."

"Oh~" Zhou Ye scratched his head.

"I really want to film with Brother Wei, but I have a really good relationship with Sister Meng, so it's a bit difficult."

Zhou Ye and Meng Ziyi were good friends. This year, they appeared on the variety show [50 km Taohuawu] together and lived together for 21 days. They are real besties.

Both of them have excellent families. After attending the Film and Television Academy, they signed up for [Weiming Tianxia]. They have been smooth sailing all the way. They have not experienced the darkness of the film and television industry, so their personalities are relatively naive.

Gu Wei smiled and patted her little head.

"What are you thinking about? Personal relationships are personal relationships. They don't affect work. It mainly depends on who is more suitable for this role.

Is it because you want to be humble before the audition? Do you have any misunderstandings about your acting skills and strength?"

"Uh" Zhou Ye smiled embarrassedly.

"Are only Sister Meng and I auditioning? "

"There is another actress, you three will compete.

I have already made an agreement with Director Yao that we will not consider other off-stage factors, we will only look at acting skills and suitability for the role, and we will choose whoever is better.

You are thinking about something here, don't look back and find that neither you nor Meng Ziyi will be selected."

"I understand, then I will go back and prepare well."

Gu Wei nodded.

Yang Zi, who had just finished singing a song, handed the microphone to Li Xian and moved closer to the two of them.

"What are you talking about? Why don't you go sing?"

Hearing Yang Zi's question, Zhou Ye did not hide it and told the other party about the audition.

Yang Zi looked at Gu Wei with some resentment.

"What role? Give me an audition opportunity. I also want to play a serious drama."

Gu Wei looked at her and remembered Yang Zi's look in [Battle of Changsha].

"Didn't you and Xiao Zhan decide on a play?"

"How did you know?"

"Please, Xiao Zhan is also an artist under my company, okay? I can know what works he will participate in just by paying a little attention.

It just so happens that he is this year's Weibo King and you are Weibo Queen. It is a good choice to use the popularity to create a hit drama together.

The role of my drama does not match your temperament."
