China Entertainment's whatever you want

Chapter 776 Sister Lang
After the broadcast of "Joy of Life" that day, #Fan Xian drinks and writes hundreds of poems# immediately became one of the top three hot searches of the day.

There are also many entries related to the content of these two episodes on the hot searches, but their rankings are not that high.

In the past half month or so, "Joy of Life" has been extremely popular.

Although due to the overall environment, it is not convenient for everyone to gather together and there are not many offline face-to-face chats to discuss the plot, the amount of discussion about "Joy of Life" on the Internet has exploded.

Every day after two episodes are aired, new entries related to the TV series will become hot searches.

The amount of discussion among netizens under various hot search terms is quite high.

A huge number of videos related to TV series are produced every day on short video apps such as Kuaishou and Douyin, and the number of likes and comments is also very large.

The rhythm of "Joy of Life" is very tight, and there is almost no useless plot.

There are two small highlights in one episode and one big highlight in two episodes. As the protagonist, Fan Xian will never suffer any loss, and even if he encounters occasional small setbacks, he will quickly retaliate.

While the plot is exciting, it is not illogical and mindless. All the plots and character settings are reasonable and logical.

This kind of logical and intelligent plot makes the audience who follow the drama unable to extricate themselves.

There are 24 hours in a day. I am happy for an hour and a half, and the rest of the time is spent in agonizing waiting.

The scene where "Fan Xian recites poetry while drunk" is considered a climax of the whole drama.

In the imperial palace, in front of Emperor Qing and all the civil and military officials, the master of literature falsely accused Fan Xian of plagiarizing poems, and his accomplices fanned the flames. Just when everyone thought that Fan Xian would be discredited, he staged a famous scene of "drinking wine and writing hundreds of poems", completely reversing the situation with the poetic heritage of Chinese civilization, which made people's blood boil.

[This is so cool to watch. This is the power of nine years of compulsory education. It proves that the ancient poems I learned in school were not in vain! ]

【Gu Wei's scene is absolutely amazing. To be honest, it would be very embarrassing if it was not performed well, but Gu Wei handled it just right, and his lines and expressions were almost perfect, just like Li Bai's wild and unrestrained attitude of drinking and writing hundreds of poems! 】

[The part about reciting poems at the Night Banquet really amazed me. I was still not satisfied after reading it, so I went to look for the novel chapters. It turned out that the screenwriter was really great. The ideas in the novel were not so big. Fan Xian directly said that they were his own. However, the realm was sublimated to a higher level in the TV series.

What we recite is not just poetry, but also a fairyland, a homeland that we can never return to, and a cultural heritage that we cannot forget.

So when I watched it, what made me happy and excited was not the slap in the face, not the routine, but a sense of pride, a sense of luck, pride in my brilliant civilization, and how lucky I am! 】

[What is the effective way to show off and then get slapped in the face? This is it.]

I have recited this poem over and over again 5 times, and it still feels good and refreshing! 】

[“It is a world with thousands of years of elegance and brilliant literary talent. It is the picture scroll left in my dream and my remaining memory.” I feel that this is the screenwriter’s worship of Chinese culture. Fan Xian is drunk in the hall and competes in poetry. He becomes a god in one battle! ]

【Thanks to China's 5,000-year civilization, thanks to the country's nine-year compulsory education, Li Bai, Du Fu, Su Shi, Li Shangyin, etc., our thousand-year-old elegance is simply a dimensionality reduction blow to Qing Kingdom! 】

The internet is full of discussions about Joy of Life, and after the "Night Banquet Reciting Poems" scene, this discussion reached its peak.

The ratings of CCTV-3.65 soared that night, reaching a peak of .

The popularity on Tencent's website even reached over 30,000 at its peak, and Joy of Life became the first TV series to exceed 30,000 in popularity on the website after the revision of Tencent's video.

“.Drink the soup first, then you will have a strong body and become the king of kings in the solar system.

Eat more fish to boost your brain power and your IQ will soar beyond the Milky Way!"

In the restaurant, a group of waiters dressed as blue aliens marched in neat steps, shouting slogans, and carrying a pot of fish into the private room.

At the table, Gu Wei, Bao Qiang and others were stunned by the scene.

“It seems like the Milky Way is falling from the sky, the Tianyan hotpot is as delicious as the gods!” The scene was a bit cold. While shouting slogans, two “Avatar” waiters picked up the “sour soup fish” and poured it directly into the big pot in the middle of the table that looked like a radar.

"Tianyan sour soup fish, authentic alien flavor!" Mr. Wang, the tourism developer played by Wang Xun, proudly introduced it to others.

"Come on, come on, get it together, get it together"

Wang Xun picked up a large soup spoon to serve fish to others, and Wang Baoqiang, who played the TV director, raised his hand.

“Wait, I have a question before dinner.

Is there a person named Huang Dabao in your village?"

"Click!" The voice of executive director Li Xin came from the loudspeaker.

Gu Wei stood up and walked behind the monitor to watch the previous shot again. He nodded and said something to Li Xin beside him, who then began to direct the staff.

"The shot has passed, teachers, prepare to transition.

Xiao Wang, arrange for everyone to move the equipment."

After the premiere of Joy of Life in early May, Gu Wei finished the promotion of the TV series and went to the filming location of UFO Falls from the Sky - Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village in Qiannan, Guizhou, to start filming the movie.

As a unit story of "My Hometown and Me", the plot of "A UFO Falls from the Sky" is actually very simple.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a mysterious UFO appeared in Afu Village, Qiannan, Guizhou, only 15 kilometers away from China's Sky Eye. The entire village was instantly shocked by the explosive news, and even alarmed reporters in Beijing.

Reporters Lao Tang (played by Wang Baoqiang) and Xiao Qin (played by Gu Wei) from the program team went deep into the village to investigate.

The village chief Wang Shouzheng (played by Wang Yanhui) and the businessman Wang Chuqi (played by Wang Xun) warmly welcomed their arrival. However, during the investigation, they seemed to have their own ulterior motives.

After entering the village, everyone discovered that Huang Dabao (played by Huang Bo), a farmer inventor who looked dull but was wild at heart, was the key figure.

After an interesting, funny and down-to-earth investigation, it was finally discovered that the so-called UFO was actually a drone made by Huang Dabao.

His purpose in making the UFO was not to carry aliens, but to engage in logistics and solve the problem of difficult transportation of goods in the mountains of Guizhou.

[A UFO Falls from the Sky] The total length of the scene is more than 20 minutes, and the estimated shooting period is 22 days.

It seems that the time is very short, but in fact the shooting schedule arranged by the crew is very easy.

This unit drama itself is a part of "My Hometown and Me", one-fifth, and it has a simple plot, few main characters, and a fixed shooting location.

Generally, a movie of more than 90 minutes takes one to two months to shoot. The reason why "UFO Falls from the Sky" was planned to be shot in 22 days is that it is currently during the epidemic, and the deployment of personnel and the actors joining the crew will be affected to some extent, so the shooting plan was set very loosely.

Gu Wei has been in the crew for more than a week and the filming has been going exceptionally smoothly.

Baoqiang is his old partner, and there is no need to say much about their tacit understanding. The real protagonist of this unit, Huang Bo, is also recognized as having good acting skills, with very few NGs, and he has already thoroughly understood the character of Huang Dabao.

So every day the crew can complete the day's shooting tasks quickly.

Although there are not many entertainment activities in the Miao village, the scenery here is really beautiful, and it is located in a remote area. Even big stars like Gu Wei and Huang Bo showed up without causing any stir. After filming, everyone just treats it as a trip to the mountains of Guizhou. It can be said that it is a true combination of work and leisure.

"Boss, Teacher Zeng Li is here~"

While the others were packing up, Gu Wei was explaining some things to the executive director Zhao Xin and the photographer. The assistant walked over to him and whispered.

"Did she go to the hotel or come directly to the crew?"

"I've already dropped off my luggage at the hotel and am on my way to the crew."

Gu Wei nodded and said to Zhao Xin, "It just so happens that today's play will still go according to the original plan. Let's schedule the last scene where Huang Dabao and Dong Ahua meet tomorrow."

"Understood, Director~"

Zeng Li played Huang Dabao's white moonlight Dong Ahua in the movie. The two fell in love when they were young, but due to inconvenient transportation, the lovers were unable to be together.

This incident also became a regret in Huang Dabao's heart and was one of the motivations for his research on UFOs.

At the end of the movie, Dong Ahua appears, and Zeng Li only has one scene and one line, it's a pure cameo.

The other party can join the crew at any time and leave after filming.

Of course, because of Gu Wei, Zeng Li had to stay with the crew for one night. Not long after, the crew moved to the small courtyard of Huang Dabao's house in the movie, and Zeng Li also arrived.

"The most beautiful girl in Chinatown has arrived!"

Wang Baoqiang saw Zeng Li coming and greeted him with a smile.

They are old acquaintances. They got along very well when filming "Detective Chinatown 1".

"Bao Qiang~"

Zeng Li greeted Wang Baoqiang with a smile.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Baoqiang walked away with a look of respect.

"Sister Li, thank you for coming all the way here~"

"I'm not afraid of trouble when filming. Besides, this is what I promised you."

When Zeng Li saw Gu Wei, a smile appeared on his fair face and he raised his hand to take off his sunglasses.

"This side is quite remote. It took you a long time to get into the mountains, right?"

"Fortunately, now is not like before. Although it is in the mountains, the traffic is very smooth. It's just that the driving time for the incoming cars is a bit long. It really is passing through one mountain after another."

“Hahaha, this is how it is in Guizhou, the terrain is like this, but the scenery here is really beautiful.

Sister Li, after you finish filming, why don’t you stay here for a while and treat it as a trip~”

"When is my performance scheduled?"

"We'll shoot tomorrow~"

Zeng Li thought about it and nodded in Gu Wei's expectant eyes.

"Okay, I'll stay for two more days. After filming, I can also visit this Miao village. To be honest, this is my first time in the mountains of Guizhou."

After finishing the day's filming, Gu Wei took Zeng Li to taste the local specialties.

Of course, it’s not Tianyan sour soup fish.

After eating and drinking, the two walked around the neighborhood and then returned to the hotel.

In the hotel room at night.

Both Gu Wei and Zeng Li changed into comfortable pajamas and sat on the sofa watching TV.

"I didn't expect that you, Sister Li, were also watching Joy of Life."

“Your drama has been so popular recently, there are news and discussions about it everywhere, and you can see edited clips of it when you scroll through TikTok.

But Joy of Life is really well made. On the first day of its premiere, I wanted to support you, but I couldn’t stop watching it.”

"Haha, you also have a cameo in this drama."

“The beginning of the first episode and the end of the last episode, I know.

But it’s quite interesting.”

Zeng Li was holding a plate of purple grapes in her hand, eating them while watching the show, and at the same time she did not forget to feed them to Gu Wei.

"Do you have any work recently? If you don't have anything, just stay in the crew and come back to Beijing with me after the filming is finished."

Gu Wei ate a grape and spit out the skin.

During the day, he asked Zeng Li to play for a few more days, and at night he wanted him to stay until the filming was completed.

Zeng Li rolled his eyes at him.

"How is that possible? I only have one scene. It's fine for me to stay for two more days to have fun, but what's the big deal about accompanying you until the end of the filming?"

"Consider him a family member~" Gu Wei said with a smile, turning around and kissing Zeng Li on the fair face.

"I'm eating fruit and my saliva is all over my face"

Zeng Li said with pretended disgust.

"I won't stay on the set for so long without doing anything. Besides, I've accepted a variety show and will be recording it in a few days. I don't have time to stay here for a long time."

"What variety show? I remember you seldom appear on variety shows?" Gu Wei asked curiously.

“It’s from Mango TV, called Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves.

The name is quite interesting. It’s a variety show that my agent strongly recommended to me.

It just so happens that I haven’t taken on any acting jobs recently, so it’s nice to go and experience it.”

It turned out to be "Sisters Who Make Waves", which is scheduled to be launched next month. This variety show is considered to be the hottest variety show this year, without a doubt.

"I've heard of this variety show. With your qualifications, it won't be a problem for you to win the competition and debut as a group."

"Haha, do you have so much confidence in me? I don't even have much confidence myself."

"How could that be? Sister Li, you are a great singer and dancer. You can crush others with your strength!"

Zeng Li was very happy with Gu Wei's flattery.

But he was telling the truth. Zeng Li's singing level is really good. He had previously collaborated with Gu Wei on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in "Chi Ling". Moreover, the other party had studied Peking Opera and had an excellent figure, so it was not too difficult for him to practice dancing.

The most important point is Zeng Lihong.

After [Detective Chinatown 1], she successively played Andy in the [Ode to Joy] series, Gao Xiaoqin in [In the Name of People], and Tang Jing in [My First Half of Life].

With the support of several hit dramas, her fame and popularity are among the best among actresses of the same age.

Although she hasn't starred in any hit dramas in recent years and the popularity of the TV dramas and movies she has participated in is very average, she is still not comparable to most of the female stars in "Sisters Who Make Waves".

According to Mango TV's usual style, a contestant like Zeng Li, who is famous and popular, will be helped to advance even if she performs poorly.

Besides, her strength is not bad to begin with.

"It's impossible to crush them. I know that many of the participating female stars are professional singers and dancers. I definitely can't beat them. I just have to try my best."

Although he was happy with Gu Wei's compliment, Zeng Li still had self-awareness.

She felt that her ability was not as good as the best but better than the worst.

"How about we make a bet? I guarantee you can advance to the finals and even form a group!"

"Ha~ I didn't expect you to have more confidence in me than I do myself."

Gu Wei put one arm through Zeng Li's back, hugged her soft waist, and lowered his head to breathe into her ear.

"Of course, I have a full and deep understanding of you"

"Okay, I'll make a bet with you. It seems like I won't lose whether I win or not..."
