Chapter 229 228. "Snow Leopard" officially starts filming

"I declare that "Snow Leopard" is officially started!"

Wei Wu said loudly, pulling off the red cloth covering the camera head.

Everyone cheered and applauded loudly, and at the same time, a loud burst of firecrackers rang out.

When the firecrackers stopped, Wei Wu looked at everyone and waved his hand:

"Everyone go get ready, it will start in 20 minutes!"

Everyone immediately dispersed and returned to their posts to prepare.

At this time, Wei Wu also sent Liu Tianxian to the door, she was about to take a plane back to Yanjing.

When the two walked to the door, the driver and the nanny car had already been waiting at the door.

"Go back quickly, the filming will start soon, don't delay."

"Yeah," Wei Wu hugged her and kissed her, saying in a gentle tone:

"Be careful on the road, it's hard for you to run around, it's hard work!"

Liu Tianxian smiled brightly: "It's okay, I'm used to it. Then I'm leaving, remember to miss me!"

"Yeah, I will, have a good trip."

Liu Tianxian smiled and took the initiative to move up, Wei Wu kissed her again, and then she waved and got in the car.

The driver started the car, honked, and then disappeared at the end of the road.

Wei Wu returned to the set and ran into an old man with gray hair but vigorous spirit.

This person was none other than Wei Wu's "father" in this play, Wang Kuirong, the actor who played Zhou Jixian.

Wang Kuirong graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, is a national first-class actor, and has won the highest award for drama, the "Golden Lion Award".

He has played roles such as Shopkeeper Zhou in "Crossing Guandong", Lord Jiang in "The Warlords", Ke Zhenwu in Li Yitong's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and Chen Xiazi in Pan Yueming's version of "Ghost Blowing Light" series.

Although he played supporting roles most of the time, his acting skills can be said to be well-known and can be called a golden supporting role.

And his performance in "Snow Leopard" is also eye-catching, especially his two lines:

"Personal gains and losses, honor and disgrace are insignificant compared to national interests!"

"When the Japanese pirates are eliminated, my son will return home!"

These two lines were said sonorously and powerfully, leaving a deep impression on the audience.

"Teacher Wang, I'll trouble you with the opening scene today."

Wang Kuirong naturally didn't dare to be arrogant, and quickly responded with a smile:

"Director Wei, please rest assured, I, an old guy, will definitely not let you down today!"

Today's opening scene, according to convention, should be a simple scene for Wei Wu and Liu Tianxian to perform. But because Liu Tianxian had to catch a plane today, she couldn't perform.

As for the rest, whether it is the second female lead Liu Shishi or the third female lead Mao Xiaotong, they are relatively inexperienced in acting.

So Wei Wu simply chose a scene with Wang Kuirong as the first shot of the filming.

Then Wei Wu looked at Guo Jinyu next to him and said:

"I'll leave it to you later!"

Guo Jinyu patted his chest and said: "Boss, please rest assured, there will be no problems!"

This is the director that Wei Wu just poached from Bad Monkey Pictures. Before, Wei Wu poached a lot of people. Although the people from Shanying have not been poached yet, at least there are results, such as Guo Jinyu in front of him now.

He is the deputy director and executive director of the drama "Snow Leopard". Because Wei Wu has to act, he usually has to have a tool director to take over his duties temporarily.

Now Ning Hao and Lu Yang are busy with their new movies and can't get away for the time being, so they can only let Guo Jinyu, who has just joined, take over.

In fact, Guo Jinyu is only 34 years old this year, and he can be said to be very young as a director.

However, he entered the industry quite early. As early as 1998, he filmed the six-episode TV series "White Collar Farmers" for CCTV under the recommendation of Huang Jianzhong.

In the past two years, he has also directed many TV series independently. It is particularly worth mentioning that "Blade 1937" directed by him the year before last was nominated for the Best Director of the Magnolia Award.

In fact, Wei Wu was quite happy to be able to recruit Guo Jinyu, because he is a very productive TV director.

Starting from his first TV series "White Collar Farmers" independently directed in 1998, to "The Strange Stories of the Tang Dynasty: Journey to the West" in 2024.

In these years, he has directed as many as 28 TV series, and he has served as the producer of 30 more. This is simply a super workaholic!

Don't think that he is not as famous as Kong Chang, but he makes much more money from filming TV series than Kong Chang and others, after all, his output is too high!

You should know that as of 2024, there are only 28 dramas produced by Noon Sunshine, which means that Guo Jinyu alone is equivalent to a company.

No boss would dislike such a diligent employee, and Wei Wu is no exception.

Anyway, Wei Wu has nothing else in his hands now, but he has plenty of scripts. As long as he likes to shoot, it is no problem to shoot four dramas a year!

And Guo Jinyu has another advantage, that is, he is not picky and is willing to shoot anything.

He is more pragmatic, unlike other famous directors who are so noble. He shoots whatever the audience likes to watch, and does not pay much attention to things like word of mouth.

For example, "Mother's Way" and "Little Nyonya" directed by him have a terrible reputation, with Douban scores of 2.5 and 4.8 respectively.

But in sharp contrast, the ratings of these two dramas are extremely high. "Mother's Way" is the runner-up in the ratings of 2018. Although "Little Nyonya" did not enter the top 10 of the year, the ratings were as high as 1.19, and it was also very popular.

You should know the male and female protagonists of these two dramas: Yu Yi + Yue Lina; Kou Jiarui + Xiao Yan.

Then the popularity is basically better than nothing. It can be said that the ratings are so high, which is really all due to the quality of the drama, or Guo Jinyu's appeal.

By the way, the heroine of "Mother's Way", Yue Lina, is Guo Jinyu's wife.

This person is really nepotism. He not only spares no effort to support his brother, but also his wife.

Thinking of Yang Zhigang, Wei Wu casually showed concern:

"Are you brothers used to our place? Do you have any difficulties?"

Guo Jinyu nodded repeatedly: "Used, everything is fine, no difficulties.

"I have to thank the boss for giving my brother this opportunity to perform."

Wei Wu waved his hand and said: "Well, we are all family, there is no need to say these outsider words. ”

It turned out that when Wei Wu sent someone to lobby, Guo Jinyu readily agreed, but he also made a request, which was to bring his brother Yang Zhigang to Wei Wu.

Wei Wu also agreed to let Yang Zhigang enter Shu culture. Anyway, he was willing to support his brother, and Wei Wu had no need to stop him, as long as it did not affect the ratings.

The key point is that even if Wei Wu did not let Yang Zhigang in, Guo Jinyu valued feelings, and when he directed a new drama independently in the future, he would still support his brother. It would be better to sign him in, at least Yang Zhigang The meat is rotten in the pot.

Even if Yang Zhigang is signed, Wei Wu does not need to give him any resources, because his brother will arrange them for him.

Yang Zhigang is 30 years old this year, a student of the 99th grade of Beijing Film Academy, and a classmate of Du Chun.

Yang Zhigang is Guo Jingyu's youngest brother, one of them is the third and the other is the fourth.

Why do brothers have the surname Yang and the other surname Guo?

It turns out that Yang Zhigang was adopted by his childless uncle when he was born, so he took his uncle's surname Yang.

Of course, if you say that he is the same as Du Chun, then he will be the same as Du Chun. His mother's surname is OK, because his uncle and mother have the same surname.

Although the two brothers do not have the same surname, and they are not from the same family, the relationship between the two brothers has always been very good, closer than that of ordinary brothers.

Guo Jinyu almost forced his brother to become a TV star.

Of course, Yang Zhigang's acting skills are not bad, otherwise he would not be so popular.

But he has joined the Shu culture, and Wei Wu cannot help but express his appreciation.

So he arranged a role for Yang Zhigang in this drama, that is, the villain Takeshita Shun in this drama.

Although he is a villain, Takeshita Shun is also a role with a heavy role, and it is also a role with great personal charm.

Yang Zhigang is of course very happy. After all, he is still unknown at this time. It is good to have a role to shoot. It is not his turn to choose a positive role or a villain.

What's more, in "Blade 1937" directed by his brother, he played the villain Qu Shisi. It's not like he hasn't played a villain before? Why is he so hypocritical?
