China Entertainment's whatever you want

Chapter 800 Getting what you want

The next morning, Gu Wei came to the crew as usual.

In the dressing room, Wang Churan had already changed into her costume and was putting on makeup. When they met, Gu Wei greeted her with a smile.

"Brother Wei. Last night"

Wang Churan looked at Gu Wei as if he wanted to say something.

"what happened?"

"It's okay. We're going to shoot the scene in Baoyue Tower later, and I thought we should rehearse the lines in advance."

After hesitating for two seconds, Wang Churan still did not mention what happened last night when he went to see Gu Wei.

She didn't know whether Jingtian had told the other party that he had been there, but it didn't seem important.

From the very beginning when she met Gu Wei, she was very clear about her position, so she had a clear idea of ​​what to say and what not to say.

But what made Wang Churan curious was the relationship between Jing Tian and Gu Wei.

The two have collaborated on the popular "Sito" and the current "Joy of Life", and they have been rumored to have an affair before.

Now the rumor seems to be more than just a rumor, but Wang Churan is not sure whether they are in a relationship or not.

"Okay, when Qilin comes, we'll go through the show together."

Gu Wei nodded in agreement.

Today we filmed the beginning of [Joy of Life 2] where Fan Xian and the other princes have a big fight on the Baoyue Tower.

In the first half, Fan Xian sneaked into Baoyue Tower and met Fan Sizhe who came to check the accounts. He then realized that the other party was the boss of Baoyue Tower, so he beat up his disappointing brother.

Through Sang Wen's narration, Fan Sizhe learned that Baoyue Tower had been engaged in the business of abducting women and forcing them into prostitution, and Fan Xian also learned that Fan Sizhe was deceived and became a "legal person" who took the blame.

In the second half, the crown prince, the second prince and the third prince arrived one after another, and they had a fierce fight in Baoyue Tower. This scene is regarded as the first famous scene after the beginning of the second part.

"Cousin? This second boss calls you cousin?"

Fan Xian learned from Fan Sizhe that Baoyue Tower had a second owner.

"He is a relative on my mother's side."

"Whose child is this?"

"Royal~"

Fan Xian and Sang Wen beside him widened their eyes. They had never thought that Baoyue Tower could be related to the royal family.

Fan Sizhe continued, "My mother and Concubine Yi are cousins, so Concubine Yi's son and I should be cousins, right?"

"Concubine Yi's son? The Third Prince!"

After Fan Xian finished speaking, Sang Wen beside him hurriedly interrupted their conversation: "Master Fan, how about I go out first!"

As she said this she stood up and was about to leave.

"Where are you going?" Fan Sizhe asked curiously.

Sang Wen looked apprehensive: "I don't dare to listen anymore. I'm afraid the more I know, the less I'll live."

Fan Xian said, "You should sit down first. You have heard everything you should and shouldn't have heard."

"Yes, it's finished~" Fan Sizhe added.

After hearing what they said, Sang Wen had no choice but to sit down, raised his hands to cover his ears, closed his eyes, and acted like an ostrich.

"Crack! This is good, passed!"

When the director's voice came, Wang Churan put down his hands and opened his eyes.

"You did a great job~" Gu Wei praised her with a smile.

Wang Churan's condition today is obviously better than yesterday, and there weren't many NGs in the scene just now.

She is already very beautiful, and when she puts on a pitiful look, she looks both cute and funny.

“Thanks to the help of Brother Wei and Teacher Guo, the two takes before filming were very useful and I was completely in the right state.

When it came time to actually shoot, I felt much more relaxed and not nervous anymore."

Wang Churan said with a smile.

Guo Qilin quickly waved his hands: "Don't call me Teacher Guo, I can't bear it, I can't bear it.

Just call me Dalinzi."

Gu Wei smiled and said, "It's because you put your heart into it. If you don't put your heart into it, no one can help you."

At this point in the filming, Wang Churan’s role in "Joy of Life 2" was basically completed, and she left the stage directly when the next scene began.

Gu Wei continued filming the scene of his confrontation with the two princes in Baoyue Tower.

This important scene took nearly two hours to shoot. After it was completed, the crew moved to another location and the actors had a chance to rest for a while.

Wang Churan came over and took a photo with Gu Wei, and that was considered the end of her filming.

There was no possibility of a wrap-up party, so the crew prepared a bouquet of flowers for her as a token of their appreciation.

"when are we leaving?"

After taking the photo, Wei asked.

"Tomorrow~"

"So urgent?"

“The filming of [Shang Shi] has already started, and they are waiting for me to join the crew.

And [Actors Please Take Your Place] is also about to start recording."

Gu Wei smiled and said, "Come on, a good performance on the variety show can also help you gain a lot of popularity."

Gu Wei doesn't have much friendship with Chen Kaige and Guo Xiaosi, so he can't help her much in this variety show, he can only give her some encouragement.

“I will definitely work hard!
Brother Wei, can we have dinner together after the show tonight?"

Wang Churan blinked his big watery eyes with anticipation.

Gu Wei thought about it and nodded: "Okay, I'll treat you, just consider it as a wrap-up party I'm hosting for you."

After the show that night, Gu Wei invited Wang Churan to have dinner at a nearby restaurant.

After having two drinks, the two did not return to the crew's hotel, but came to a villa that Gu Wei bought in Hengdian.

The house is located in a high-end villa area near the Qingming Shanghe Tu scenic area, not far from Hengdian Film and Television City.

Gu Wei spends a considerable amount of time in Hengdian every year, and it would be more convenient for him to do anything if he had his own house.

Maybe it was because they hadn't seen each other for a while, or maybe it was because he was about to leave, but Wang Churan, who had drunk some red wine, was extremely proactive and enthusiastic.

As soon as they entered the room, she threw herself on Gu Wei and kissed him with her red lips.

By the time she reached the bedroom, her clothes had been taken off, leaving her like a big, smooth and tender white sheep.

Seeing how anxious she was, Gu Wei naturally showed no mercy and gave her a satisfying and profound night.

Wang Churan left the group, and Wang Xiaochen, who played "Yuan Meng", also finished filming.

At the same time, Mao Xiaotong, who plays the "Grand Princess of Northern Qi", and Fu Xinbo, who plays the "Grand Prince of Southern Qing", joined the crew.

Gu Wei's former assistant, Yang Chaoyue, who plays "Ye Ling'er", also came to the Hengdian crew to start filming.

【Joy of Life 2】 mainly tells about 5 and a half events: Baoyue Tower Incident, Lai Mingcheng's impeachment, the imperial examination, taking over the inner treasury, the assassination in the Xuankong Temple, and taking over the three major districts (half).

Starting from the moment the protagonist faked his death and returned to Beijing, things happened one after another. Fan Xian gradually grew up in the process and slowly uncovered the various mysteries that had been buried since the beginning of the play.

There are a lot of roles involved, with new actors constantly joining the crew for filming, while others leave the crew after finishing their roles.

"Have you memorized this line?" "Don't worry, boss, it's okay.

It’s just drinking and sharpening knives, and then having a few words with you, I can handle it.”

The first scene Yang Chaoyue acted in after joining the crew was with Gu Wei.

Emperor Qing arranged a marriage between Ye Ling'er and the second prince. Ye Ling'er was obviously unwilling, but she could not disobey the emperor's order.

When Fan Xian came to find Lin Wan'er, Ye Ling'er was sharpening a knife outside Wan'er's house, expressing her dissatisfaction with the arranged marriage with practical actions, and also hoping to scare away the Second Prince who came to see Wan'er.

Yang Chaoyue, dressed in red, looks heroic. He sits in front of a whetstone, fiddling with a prop kitchen knife in his hand.

Compared to her lines, she seemed more interested in the kitchen knife in her hand.

"This knife is no good. It's not sharpened at all. It would take too much effort to sharpen it by hand."

Gu Wei looked at her with some amusement: "Do you have any research on this?"

"Of course, I have experience in sharpening knives."

Seeing Gu Wei's curious face, Yang Chaoyue explained: "When I was a child, the kitchen knife at home was used for many years. Once it was not sharp, I would find a whetstone to sharpen it. I have sharpened it many times."

"By the way, boss, is "Jiang Ziya" our company's movie?" Yang Chaoyue suddenly asked after gesturing twice.

“No, it’s produced by Guangguang.

Why do you ask?

"I saw a lot of news about Jiang Ziya online a few days ago. When promoting this animated film, Nezha is always mentioned.

People who don’t know would think this cartoon is the sequel to Nezha.”

Gu Wei smiled and said: "Guangguang originally wanted to collaborate with [Nezha], but I didn't agree.

They won’t promote it directly, they’ll just beat around the bush, just to take advantage of the traffic of Nezha.”

Gu Wei has been aware of this for a long time. Not only "Jiang Ziya", in fact, all animated films released in the past two years have tried to take advantage of the traffic of "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Nezha" during their promotions.

It’s just that because they both tell stories about characters who were deified, Jiang Ziya’s role is more obvious.

"I happened to be free some time ago, so I went to the cinema to watch this movie"

"how do you feel?"

Yang Chaoyue shook his head.

“Not very good, it’s very different from [Nezha], it’s not joyful at all, but rather a bit heavy and depressing.

I don’t really like it.”

It turns out that domestic audiences just love watching comedies.

Even if you want to go for depth and sensationalism, you have to use jokes in the first half, such as "Nezha", "Dying to Survive" and even "The Wandering Earth".

No matter what type it is, there must always be some comedy elements involved so that the audience will like it and buy into it.

"What is the current box office of [Jiang Ziya]?"

“It seems to be more than 8 million. It’s been more than two weeks. I think it will be difficult to break 10 billion.

Boss, your film "My People, My Homeland" has already grossed over 25 billion yuan. I saw Maoyan's box office forecast is 32 billion yuan, which may exceed the previous "My People, My Country."

Because it failed to collaborate with "Nezha", the box office of "Jiang Ziya" was nearly half of that of the original film.

This is not an exaggeration.

The early box office of the original time and space "Jiang Ziya" was completely supported by the reputation of the sequel to "Nezha". Once the word of mouth spread, the performance immediately plummeted, which disappointed many viewers.

[My Hometown and Me] is the absolute top work of this year's National Day holiday, and it is not surprising that it has achieved the current results.

According to Gu Wei's prediction, the final box office of this movie will be over 30 billion. As for whether it can exceed the 31.7 billion of "My People, My Country", it is not certain.

10 month 18 day.

Gu Wei's plane landed in Changsha. He asked the crew for two days off to attend the Golden Eagle Awards ceremony.

This year is the 30th China TV Golden Eagle Awards hosted by Mango TV. The most anticipated Golden Eagle Goddess selection has ended voting on the evening of the 14th, and Song Qian was elected this year's Golden Eagle Goddess.

Before the award ceremony, a very interesting thing happened in the Golden Eagle Awards selection.

As per convention, the Golden Eagle Awards have two awards [Audience’s Favorite Actor and Actress Awards] which are decided based on audience voting.

There are usually three rounds of online voting, and the one with the most votes at the end will win the prize.

Many fans voted hard so that their idols could win awards, but they did not expect that the organizers of this year's Golden Eagle Awards would "clear the votes."

On October 10, the China Television Artists Association issued a statement saying that they had discovered data anomalies in the voting for the Golden Eagle Awards selection list. After investigation, it was found that there had been vote-rigging, so the third round of votes would have to be "cleared" before they could be counted!
For the male stars, the number of votes for each person remained unchanged after the votes were counted.

It's not that no one wants to cheat in votes, it's mainly because Gu Wei's votes are too exaggerated. He is more than one million votes ahead of the second place and is far ahead. There is no point in others cheating in votes, so everyone's votes are relatively real.

It’s different for female stars. Song Qian, who was originally ranked first, lost 50 votes after the “vote clearing” and dropped from first to third place.

Zhao Liying, who was originally ranked second, became the first.

This matter also caused a lot of discussion among netizens. Many people felt that Song Qian’s Golden Eagle Goddess title was too "watered down", and whether the voting for the Golden Eagle Goddess was also rigged.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Zhao Liying.

She has been the Golden Eagle Goddess once and did not participate in this year's Golden Eagle Goddess selection.

It was mainly Tan Songyun's team who were pushing the situation behind the scenes. She is Song Qian's main competitor this year.

In the voting for the Audience's Favorite Actress Award, Song Qian dropped to third place, and she also rose from third to second place.

Wearing a Louis Vuitton haute couture suit and putting on makeup, Gu Wei arrived at the Golden Eagle Awards.

They met Zhao Liying in the waiting area, and the organizer arranged for them to walk the red carpet together.

"Liying, long time no see~"

Gu Wei greeted Zhao Liying with a smile when he saw her.

“It’s a beautiful day today”

Zhao Liying wore a blue low-cut long dress, with her straight black hair draped over her snow-white chest, delicate collarbone, slender neck, and a pair of sapphire earrings on both ears. She had an elegant temperament, and looked like a mermaid princess walking out of the sea.

“You’re handsome too!
By the way, I watched your movie [Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils], it was really well made! "

"Haha, thank you, I also think it was filmed well, of course my acting was even better~"

Zhao Liying blinked and looked at Gu Wei.

"What were you thinking about, playing such a role, a wanted criminal, a killer, with such a weird personality.

The contrast with you is too great."

She is really interested in acting and was very curious about why Gu Wei played "Chen Guilin" regardless of his image.

“I have said in previous interviews that I have been trying to play different types of roles.

When I first wrote the script, I really wanted to play "Chen Guilin", and it turned out to be really enjoyable!"

Zhao Liying nodded in agreement.

“Just as I thought.”

"By the way, congratulations, Liying, for winning the first place in the vote. Your things are yours after all."

Zhao Liying smiled slightly and said calmly: "In fact, for us, the Golden Eagle Award's popularity award is not very important. It doesn't matter whether we win it or not."

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so Versailles now, but there's nothing wrong with what you said."

People of Gu Wei and Zhao Liying's level come to participate in the Golden Eagle Awards to increase the popularity and attention of the Golden Eagle Awards. They have already won the honors they deserve, and more than once.
