China Entertainment's whatever you want

Chapter 694 Booting up

There are two slightly more important characters in the crew.

The director chose Jiang Peiyao from the company to play the protagonist’s ex-girlfriend Xixi, who cheated on him.

She holds a master's degree from Beijing Film Academy. She doesn't have any major problems with her acting skills. She isn't the kind of beauty that stuns at first sight, but her image and temperament are more suitable for the role.

Xiaowen's mother Haifei finally decided to play Huang Mengying from Jiaxing.

Director Rao felt that her temperament was slightly worldly, and she could portray the feeling that Hai Fei had been in society and had been in jail.

“.The third brother’s full name is Mo Sanmei, and he is a released prisoner. His father and eldest sister call him the third girl.

His father didn't like him because he thought he didn't treat the family business well. His neighbors thought he was unlucky because he often came into contact with dead people. His girlfriend even cheated on him. He also thought he was too unlucky.

So he has no future, no self-confidence, no sense of security, and a little empty, and he doesn't know why he is alive.

But he shows some unwillingness to admit defeat and usually pretends to be fierce, like an immature little boy.

Just like his name, although outsiders call him "Third Brother", he is actually "Mo Sanmei" inside. He needs his father's praise, his friends' support, and someone who is worthy of his hard work.

Until I met Xiaowen, the process of getting along with each other was also a process of mutual redemption for the two of us."

In the crew's meeting room, a group of main creators were reading the script, and Gu Wei and Rao Xiaozhi were discussing the character of the male lead.

"It's just like I thought. I'm not worried about your acting skills. I believe that you, Mr. Gu, can interpret the role of Mo Sanmei very well. It's just about the image," Rao Xiaozhi said worriedly as he looked at Gu Wei, who looked as handsome as a pale-faced scholar.

Gu Wei touched his hair.

"I understand, with a haircut and makeup, I have a clear idea of ​​my image.

I have even tanned a little more recently for [important life events]."

He cut his hair short while filming "Better Days" in May last year. Half a year later, his hair has returned to its original length. Now it seems that he is going to cut it short again. After all, at the beginning of the movie, Mo Sanmei had just been released from prison.

On January 1, Gu Wei’s new drama "Life Events" officially started filming in Wuhan.

The opening ceremony of this film was not grand or complicated, and even few media outlets were present. After the simple ceremony, the crew began formal filming.

At this time, Gu Wei's hair had been shaved and his face was made up. He was holding the script in his hand and reading the lines continuously, his eyes looking at the other person beside him.

". Very good, Mr. Gu Wei, the tone of your words just now is very authentic. Even locals would think you are from Wuhan."

This is one of the dialect teachers hired by the crew, who specializes in teaching the actors to speak Wuhan dialect.

[Life Events] Almost all the characters in the whole movie have to speak Wuhan dialect. This was also decided by Rao Xiaozhi beforehand. He felt that this would make the movie more interesting.

Just like in his previous film "Nobody", the characters in it all spoke dialects from Guizhou and Chongqing.

"Teacher Li, what about me?" Jiang Peiyao, who played Xixi, asked with wide eyes while sitting opposite.

"You're not bad, but you could use a stronger tone. When you say 'get out', lower your voice."

Jiang Peiyao joined the crew at about the same time as Gu Wei. In fact, her role didn't have many scenes, so she didn't need to come so early.

It just so happened that she had no work recently, so she joined the group early to prepare.

"I heard your cell phone ringing, open the door!" Gu Wei stood outside a small shop and shouted through the transparent door.

He was wearing a flowered shirt, a gold chain around his neck, had a dark complexion, and a stubble on his mouth, and was dressed like a gangster.

"What are you doing here?" Jiang Peiyao was putting on her clothes and walking out of the room. She did not open the door immediately but asked through the door.

"Why did you close down?"

"Didn't I send you a message? We've broken up!"

Her words had no effect, and Gu Wei kicked the door hard.

"If you don't open the door, I will smash your store. Do you believe it?"

Jiang Peiyao had no choice but to open the door reluctantly.

As soon as the door opened, Gu Wei squeezed in directly, then slapped the property deed in his hand on Jiang Peiyao, and carried her into the house.

"I took down my old man's house!"

"What does your house have to do with me if you go out?" Jiang Peiyao climbed on Gu Wei's shoulder and struggled to slap him.

"Haven't you always wanted to join a big maternity and baby store? I'll help you." Gu Wei walked into the inner room, threw her directly on the bed, held her arms, bent down and kissed her neck.

"I've been stuck in there for more than two months. You know what I'm doing, I'm dying of suffocation."

"Let me go, get out of here!" Jiang Peiyao kept struggling, and took advantage of the opportunity to slap Gu Wei in the face and get off the bed.

At this time, the bathroom door behind him opened, and a man with a naked upper body and a bath towel wrapped around him came in. "I'm done, you should go take a shower too, oh, the third sister is here."

"Sixth Brother?" Gu Wei looked at him in shock.

"You messed up the bed sheets I just changed."

"You..." Before Gu Wei could finish his curse words, he kicked him and the two of them immediately started fighting.

However, Gu Wei was clearly at a disadvantage and was pinned to the bed, unable to resist.

"Sixth brother, get up."

"Wife, he was the first to do it!"

"stand up!"

Lao Liu released the hand that was pinching Gu Wei's neck, stood up and stepped back.

Having suffered a loss, Gu Wei was unwilling to give up. He coughed twice, picked up the bedside lamp and pretended to smash it.

"I'm pregnant!" Jiang Peiyao shouted and stepped forward to stop him. "I'm pregnant, his!"

Gu Wei looked incredulous.

"I went to jail because I fought him for you, you son of a bitch!"

"I just want to get married, have a baby, and have a home to rely on. Is that not okay?"

"Why do you think I can't give you a home? Can't give you support?"

"What can I give you?" Jiang Peiyao shouted, "I can't see you being mature at all, nor can I see you being a father."

"Brother, take this money as our compensation to you." Lao Liu took out a stack of money from his wallet and handed it over.

Gu Wei didn't even look at it, he took it and threw it directly in his face.

"Crack!"

When the director's voice came, the three actors on the set breathed a sigh of relief.

"How is the director's opinion this time?" Gu Wei asked.

"Not bad, the effect is much better this time, no problem, passed"

Rao Xiaozhi rewatched the footage behind the monitor, confirmed that there was nothing wrong and nodded.

The staff began to pack up and prepare to move on site. Gu Wei walked to the rest area nearby and sat down.

"Brother Wei, I'm sorry for my poor performance just now. I made you take several more shots." Jiang Peiyao, who came with him, also sat down and said embarrassedly.

Gu Wei took his water cup from his assistant, unscrewed the lid, took a sip, and waved his hand.

“It’s okay, the director is also polishing the shots when the filming just started, and he’s being strict.

In fact, your condition was not very good only the first time, and you adjusted quickly afterwards.

The director just strives for perfection.”

"I didn't expect to start filming my scenes right after the filming started. I thought it would take a few days before filming started."

"You have fewer scenes, so you can concentrate on shooting for a few days and then leave the crew. This will save you from wasting your time."

[Life Events] The filming went relatively smoothly after it started. Apart from the protagonist Gu Wei, the performances of other actors were also very good.

Jiang Peiyao finished filming after two days and left the crew. The second male and female lead, Wang Ge and Xin Zhilei, both had great acting skills.

Even the young actors who were initially thought to be having problems gave unexpectedly brilliant performances.

The little girl Zhang Yuqi who plays "Wu Xiaowen" is only 7 years old this year. Despite her young age, she has rich acting experience.

In 2015, she participated in the TV series "If a Woman Is Not Strong, Heaven Will Not Forgive Her"; in 2016, she filmed "The Ultimate Three Kingdoms" and played the role of Xiao Diao Chan; in 2017, she participated in the TV series "Falling in Love with You Heals Me" and played the role of Weiwei, and in October of the same year, she participated in the TV series "Sadness Is Like a River" and played the role of Shuangzi's sister.

In March last year, he participated in the TV series "The Longest Day in Chang'an", and at the end of the year, he played the young Yang Zi in the TV series "My Mowgli Boy".

He can be said to be a little actor.

During the filming, I was just like an adult actor. I did whatever the director asked me to do and was very obedient.

What is even more rare is that Xiao Yuqi can easily get into the state when acting, and the filming effect is no worse than that of Yang En in the original version.
