Chapter 768 Self Strategy
Wei Yihang’s character is actually not very likable, but he is realistic.

Most of the roles played by Gu Wei in his previous films were "tall, great and glorious" characters.

He is either a domineering president or a campus male god; in ancient costumes, he is a handsome and strong type like the fairy prince and Jiang Zuo Meilang.

Although the role he played in the previous film "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" was not that positive, he was also strong and crazy enough.

The only one that was a bit timid and weak was the [Life Events] filmed last year.

"Third Brother"'s girlfriend cheated on him, his family was dissatisfied with him, and he just lived a day-to-day life. He was considered to be one of the worst off among ordinary people.

However, this time in "Send You a Little Red Flower", the character Wei Yihang is not even as good as an ordinary person.

Because he is a cancer patient, brain cancer.

He didn't know when he would die, so he felt extremely depressed ever since he found out he was sick.

Cancer patients are fragile and sensitive inside, and like hedgehogs, they can't help but curl up to protect themselves.

Wei Yihang is reluctant to leave the house and doesn't like to interact with others. It is because of his inner inferiority and lack of security that he protects himself in this way.

Gu Wei got the script of "Send You a Little Red Flower" very early and did research on Wei Yihang's character.

He designed a whole set of small movements for the character, such as standing posture, sitting posture, the way of looking at people, eating posture, way of holding chopsticks, etc.

Most of these movements are different from those of ordinary people, and they give people a timid and fearful "contraction" feeling.

Playing such a role is actually a challenge for him.

This is the fun of being an actor, being able to experience all kinds of different lives through different roles. This is also the reason why Gu Wei has always insisted on his acting career.

Two days after joining the crew, [Send You a Little Red Flower] officially started filming.

The crew held a simple opening ceremony and quickly entered the shooting state.

In an old house in the old town of Qindao, the crew was filming a scene at Wei Yihang's home.

"You didn't even reply to the group post. You have to go to Ah Kou's memorial service, right?"

Gu Wei was wearing a brown short-sleeved shirt and curled up on the sofa playing games. Although there was no expression on his face, one could still feel a sense of dejection and decadence through his eyes and some small movements.

Yue Yunpeng was sitting next to him. He played the role of Wu Xiaomei, the leader of a cancer patient group. He was trying hard to encourage him to attend a memorial service for a fellow patient.

Gu Wei didn't stop what he was doing and turned to look at him.

"Did you wash your hands?"

Xiao Yueyue was somewhat helpless: "Ah Kou! You know him.

Buy the big wave one from me.

Play cosplay that

He gestured as he spoke.

"We have already discussed it. We don't need to do anything serious. We can just throw her a cosplay party to make her feel proud and cheerful."

“I can’t.”

"I'll give you a wig, and you can just wear it for your own good.

Is that okay?

Before Gu Wei could reply, Zhu Yuanyuan, who played the mother, came over.

"He's going, he's definitely going!"

Since Wei Yihang was diagnosed with cancer, he has almost lost all social activities and is completely immersed in his own world.

So his parents hope that he can go out more often, interact with more people, and make some friends.

"Come on, have some tea.

Xiao Wu, can you tell Auntie how that child left?"

Yue Yunpeng took the teacup.

'It's spread'

"Didn't you say it would be removed?" Gao Yalin also sat over.

"Didn't you hear what Xiao Wu said? It has spread. That child will be in great trouble."

Gu Wei stood up impatiently, not wanting to listen to the conversation of the three people, and turned and walked into his bedroom.

"Cut! Done." The director's voice came.

Gu Wei stood up and walked to Han Yan's side. This was the first scene after filming started, and he wanted to see how his performance would look on camera.

Han Yan obviously understood what he meant and replayed the scene.

"The performance was very good, almost the same as the image of Wei Yihang in my mind. The most important thing was that he portrayed the feeling of dejection and decadence."

Director Han praised him a few words, and Gu Wei crossed his arms and nodded slightly as he looked at himself on the surveillance screen.

He also has some ideas about his performance. The character's personality remains largely unchanged, with only slight adjustments required in different stages and scenes.

"Brother Wei, you acted really well!"

Coming out of the venue, Liu Haocun came towards him with a smile on his face.

After they met two days ago, this person always stayed by Gu Wei's side whenever they were on the crew, chatting with him for no reason.

After all, they are going to be partners working together for two months, and no matter what her future reputation will be, Liu Haocun's appearance is still worthy of recognition, so Gu Wei's attitude towards her is also good.

"It's OK. We had to do several NGs for those two shots just now. We just started shooting this drama and everyone is slowly getting used to it and finding their groove."

Gu Wei sat down, took the cup of water from the assistant and took a sip.

"We will be acting against each other soon, Brother Wei, please guide me~"

Liu Haocun turned sideways and looked over with a pair of big watery eyes.

"Well, it will be the scene where the hero and heroine meet for the first time. Just act normally."

Gu Wei said perfunctorily.

Liu Haocun didn't hear it, she felt that Gu Wei recognized her talent and showed a confident and hearty smile.

She has not encountered any setbacks since her debut. From the agency to director Zhang Yimou, everyone is supporting her, making her feel like she is the destined heroine in a novel and is loved by everyone.

Now, when she is starring in the third movie of her life, she can work with Gu Wei, the most popular star in the entertainment industry, which makes her more determined in her belief, and the other party's attitude towards her is so good.

'Gu Wei is so handsome. I have watched so many of his dramas before, but I didn't expect that he is even more handsome in person than on the screen!

In this play, we play lovers. I wonder if he will fall in love with me.

What if he confesses to me?
The company doesn't allow me to have a relationship, and I want to focus on my career first, but he is Gu Wei.

"Hao Cun? Hao Cun?"

After Gu Wei sat down, he said a few words to Liu Haocun and found that the other party was staring at him with his chin in his hands. He kept a smile on his face, but his eyes became more and more empty.

He shouted twice and waved his hand in front of the other person.

"Ah? Brother Wei, I agree!"

"What do you agree to?" Gu Wei was puzzled.

Liu Haocun reacted at this time and his fair face turned a little red.

"Nothing.
By the way, Brother Wei, let’s practice our lines. We’ll start shooting after the transition.”

"Row"

The filming of [Send You a Little Red Flower] went very smoothly.

Although Director Han Yan has very strict requirements, he is also very good at training actors.

Gao Yalin, Zhu Yuanyuan, Xia Yu and other talented actors naturally had no problem at all and they handled their roles with ease during filming.

But Yue Yunpeng can also show the side that the movie needs under his lens, which shows Han Yan's skill.

As the filming progressed, Gu Wei and Liu Haocun had more and more scenes of interaction, and their cooperation became more and more tacit.

According to the script, after Ma Xiaoyuan met Wei Yihang, he learned that Wei Yihang wanted to be an explorer, but could not realize it due to physical reasons, so he took him to experience a unique explorer's journey in the city.

Treat the seafood market as Gansbaai Beach in South Africa, and pretend you are going on an Antarctic expedition in the ice storage.

Climbing the stairs feels like climbing the Himalayas, and standing on the top of the building and feeling the strong breeze is like walking in the Grand Canyon of Colorado.

Crawling through the park's sand piles is like being in the hot Sahara Desert.
This series of actions may seem childish but is actually very romantic.

This is also the scene where the relationship between the male and female protagonists in the movie progresses.

As the filming progressed, Gu Wei could feel that Liu Haocun was looking at him more and more eagerly.

But he didn't care. Given her age and acting skills, if she wanted to play the role well, she had to immerse herself in it, which is what we usually call getting into the role. Gu Wei has been acting for so many years, so it's normal for the heroine to get into the role. It's no big deal.

At night, Gu Wei and Liu Haocun sat on the stone pier outside the zoo, listening to the calls of the animals inside and admiring the beautiful night scenery.

We are shooting a night scene today, and this scene between the two of them is a very important scene in the movie.

"After I got sick, I felt like I only had half my life left, and I really wanted to experience something different."

"What do you mean by half a life? I find you really mean what you say."

"I have been depressed since I was young. I am not proactive in studying, I am not self-motivated in working, I don't have the energy to eat, and I don't have energy after waking up.

I didn’t get a red flower in kindergarten, and I didn’t get any certificates of honor in elementary, middle and high school.”

Gu Wei lowered his head and talked about his experience. Liu Haocun looked at him with his chin supported by one hand.

"It's so pitiful for the children who have never received a red flower."

Then she sighed, lay back, and looked at the night sky with her arms outstretched.

Gu Wei glanced at her, then raised his head slightly and looked into the distance.

"never mind"

The camera moves from near to far, and the two figures appear so harmonious in the night.

"Cut! It's over. Thank you all for your hard work today. It's time to pack up and go home!" The director's voice came, and today's night scene shooting was over.

Gu Wei stood up and his assistant quickly came forward to put a coat on him.

The temperature on Qindao Island at night is much lower than during the day and it is a little cooler.

"Brother Wei."

Liu Haocun also put on some clothes and stood beside Gu Wei, seeming to want to say something.

"what happened?"

"Would you like to have a midnight snack together?" After hesitating for a moment, Liu Haocun mustered up the courage to invite.

Gu Wei took his cell phone from his assistant and checked the time.

"Forget about it today. It's too late and I'm not hungry. I'll go back and get some rest early. I have a scene to shoot tomorrow morning."

"All right."

Gu Wei smiled and said, "Let's have dinner together after the show. I'll treat you~"

"Okay, it's a deal then!"

Liu Haocun was a little disappointed at first, but she became happy again after what Gu Wei said.

March passed quickly, and the filming of "Send You a Little Red Flower" was more than halfway completed.

On April 4, Jiangcheng was officially unsealed after 8 days of strict control, marking the end of the first phase of the epidemic.

The domestic environment is still affected, but all industries have gradually resumed work and production and started normal operations.

On April 4, Gu Wei flew from Qindao to Xishuangbanna in the south of the colorful clouds, and met up with Jingtian after landing.

[Joy of Life] will be launched online in less than a month, and the promotion on the two online broadcasting platforms, Tencent and iQiyi, is in full swing.

Gu Wei and Jing Tian came to Yunnan to participate in this season of "A Longing for Life" and to use their reputation to promote the TV series.

"Gu Wei."

Da Tiantian was wearing casual clothes, a white T-shirt on the upper body, jeans on the lower body, a khaki baseball cap on her head, and a pair of white sneakers on her feet.

When she saw Gu Wei, she looked very happy and her smile was as bright as a beautiful peony.

Although the two have been in contact, Jing Tian has not seen Gu Wei in person for more than four months due to work and emotional reasons after various ceremonies at the end of last year.

"Tiantian seems to have lost some weight, but she's even prettier!"

As soon as they met, Gu Wei smiled and praised Jing Tian.

"Really? I've been sitting around at home with nothing to do lately, and I feel like I've gained a little weight."

"How could that be, you're not fat at all, your figure is just right.

Even though you haven't been working during this period, you must have been working out, right? "

Gu Wei knows how to praise people, and he gives them enough emotional value as soon as they meet.

“Just a little bit, I just did some exercise when I had nothing to do at home.

Are we the only two on the show this time?"

"Xiao Tian is recording Running Man and didn't come. Guo Qilin arrived earlier than us and should have arrived at the Mushroom House."

The two chatted for a while, and then called the Mushroom House under the arrangement of the program team.

"What do you want to eat?" Gu Wei asked Jing Tian.

“When you come to Yunnan, you naturally eat rice noodles.”

"Do you want to make this call?"

Jing Tian smiled and shook his head: "You should fight."

When she was with Gu Wei, she was used to letting Gu Wei solve everything, and she could just sit there and do her best, feeling very relaxed.

Gu Wei nodded: "If I call, I think Mr. He and the others will easily guess who it is."

After saying that, he called the Mushroom House using the program’s phone number.

"Hello, hello!"

The call was connected and He Jiong's voice came from the other end.

"Hello~"

"We are in the Mushroom House. Who are you?"

"Don't worry about who I am, I want to order food~" Gu Wei said in a deliberately low tone.

"Wow, you're so arrogant!" This is Peng Yuchang's voice.

“Can’t I order food?”

"Of course, what would you like to eat?" Teacher He continued.

"We want to order Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles and Steam Pot Chicken." Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles was what Jingtian ordered, and Steam Pot Chicken was what Gu Wei wanted to eat.

"Okay, how many people are you?"

"Two people~"

"When will it arrive?"

“We’ll be there in a moment.”

Teacher He confirmed it after listening: "Two people will be here soon. Cross-bridge rice noodles and steamed chicken, right?"

"Correct!"

"Then we'll see you later~"

"See you later"

After hanging up the phone, He Jiong, Peng Yuchang and Zhang Zifeng at the Mushroom House were guessing the identity of the person who had just called.

This season of "A Longing for Life" has only four regular guests. He Jiong and Huang Lei are of course there, and the remaining two young people are Peng Yuchang and Zhang Zifeng.

"This voice sounds so familiar, it's right next to my mouth," said Peng Yuchang.

"Is it Du Haitao?" Zhang Zifeng guessed.

"No, no, I can still recognize Haitao's voice." Teacher He denied.

"Teacher Xu Zheng?"

"No, let me think about it~" Peng Peng looked up and thought hard.

"I know, it's my boss' voice!"

"Brother Wei? It really seems to be his voice, just that it's a little deeper than usual." Zhang Zifeng has worked with Gu Wei many times and of course he is familiar with his voice.

"It was intentional. I think it was Brother Wei!"

He Jiong smiled.

"Then let's see if the one coming later is Gu Wei."
