China Entertainment: Sister, I don’t want to work hard anymore

Chapter 15 Deception
The morning after Chen Yihan finished filming, Chu Hui treated her to a sumptuous breakfast near the hotel where the crew stayed.

Since he didn't order soy juice, but chose soy milk instead, this breakfast seemed a bit unauthentic, but Chen Yihan tasted quite delicious.

After eating and drinking, Chen Yihan put his chin in his hands, watched Chu Hui drink soy milk, and asked: "Brother Huizi, I'm going back to Taiwan soon, do you want to take me to the airport?"

Chu Hui gently placed the big bowl of soy milk on the table and said, "No, there is a show in the morning and I can't leave."

Chen Yihan said "Oh" and then asked: "Then will we meet again?"

Chu Hui smiled and replied: "It's hard to say whether we will see each other again."

"But I'm sure you will come to Yanjing again."

Chen Yihan looked at him curiously: "Why are you so sure?"

Chu Hui said calmly: "It's very simple. The plays directed by Baosteel have always been very popular."

"The little fairy you plays is quite likable. It's hard not to be popular."

Chen Yihan said suspiciously: "Is it true? Why do I feel like you are making me happy?"

"I'm just a supporting role, not even the third female lead. No matter how popular this drama is, it shouldn't be my turn, right?"

Chu Hui smiled and explained: "Hong is also divided into big red and small red. Big red is hopeless, and small red should be easy."

What Chen Yihan thought in her mind was that she would just not be scolded when the time came. She really hadn't considered the question of whether she would become popular or not.

However, Chen Yihan also felt a sense of accomplishment to be recognized by colleagues with a professional background, and happily said "Thank you, Brother Huizi."

Before parting, Chen Yihan also made an agreement with Chu Hui that if he really became famous in mainland China, he would definitely invite him to a restaurant next time he came back to Yanjing.

Chu Hui didn't take it seriously. When it was time to film and film, when it was time to work, life was as usual.

After careful consideration during this period, Chu Hui finally decided to write the script. Since he wanted to copy it, he would copy it aggressively and strive to become an instant hit. In this way, the price of the next script would also rise with the tide.

Soon, Chu Hui fell in love with a drama that was popular in his previous life - "Who is in charge of my youth" among a bunch of popular TV dramas that have not yet been aired.

The script "Who is in Charge of My Youth" has a total of thirty-two episodes, telling the youth story of three cousins ​​in a family. They entered the society as adults at the same time and felt the cruelty of society...

The reason why Chu Hui chose to "plagiarize" this script was because Chu Hui knew that in his previous life, this drama was directed by Zhao Baogang. He cooperated with a large and reliable company like Xin Baoyuan, and his credit was guaranteed. He wrote it for Zhao Baogang. Scripts that Baosteel likes can easily be sold at a good price, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

Since there are many scenes during the day, Chu Hui only has time to write scripts in a rental house when there are no night scenes.

When he first started writing "Who's in Charge of My Youth", Chu Hui recalled while writing that it would take four or five nights to write the plot of an episode.

After a period of training, Chu Hui's writing speed has been improved unprecedentedly. He can write an episode of the plot in as little as two nights. This is probably the so-called ability to make perfect.

One morning in late August, the sun was shining brightly.

The famous actor Jiang Wenli, accompanied by her assistant, came to visit the crew of "Struggle" and brought fruits and drinks to everyone.

They are all old friends in the same circle. Jiang Wenli and director Zhao Baogang collaborated on the film "Black Ice" a few years ago. It can be said that they had a great time meeting each other.

However, Jiang Wenli came here this time not just to chat and reminisce, but to help her husband Gu Changwei find actors for his second movie "The Beginning of Spring".

As for the movie "The Beginning of Spring", it was originally planned to start shooting in the first half of this year. Due to competition with the mistress for the heroine, the male lead getting into a car accident, etc., it has been delayed until now. For this reason, Jiang Wenli also Heartbroken.

After learning about Jiang Wenli's intention, Zhao Baogang was also very generous and directly called Tong Dawei, Ma Yili, Wen Zhang, Chu Hui and others to come forward and let Jiang Wenli get up close.

In the current film and television industry, Jiang Wenli's status and reputation are still very high, and the protagonists do not dare to neglect her, and they all politely call her "Sister Wenli".

After saying hello to Jiang Wenli, Chu Hui held the script and went to the side to memorize the lines.

In order not to affect the filming progress of the crew, Jiang Wenli was not in a position to talk to Zhao Baogang for too long. She just sat next to Zhao Baogang and watched the actors perform in front of the camera.

After watching the two scenes played by Tong Dawei and Ma Yili, Jiang Wenli, who was bored, found Chu Hui reading the script in the corner and walked over calmly.

Seeing Jiang Wenli walking towards him, Chu Hui immediately stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his butt, and politely called "Hello, Sister Wenli!"

Seeing Chu Hui's flattered look, Jiang Wenli smiled and comforted him: "Hello, don't be nervous, I don't eat people."

I don’t know why, but the more Jiang Wenli looked at Chu Hui, the more familiar she felt, and asked: "You just said your name was Chu Hui, right?" Chu Hui replied: "Yes, Sister Wenli, my name is Chu Hui." .”

"Where did you graduate?"

"Department of Acting, Central Academy of Drama."

After learning that Chu Hui was from the Chinese Opera Department, Jiang Wenli looked at Chu Hui with a more kind and gentle look.

After looking Chu Hui up and down for a while, Jiang Wenli asked doubtfully: "Have we met before? Why do I feel like I have seen you somewhere?"

Chu Hui smiled and replied: "Sister Wenli, your feeling is right, we have indeed met."

Hearing what Chu Hui said, Jiang Wenli became even more curious about the tall and muscular young man in front of her, and said, "Really? Where did you meet him? Why can't I remember?"

Chu Hui replied: "I have auditioned for the crew of "The Beginning of Spring" before."

Jiang Wenli suddenly realized: "Oh, I remembered it. No wonder you look familiar to me. It turns out it's really you."

Chu Hui knew that Jiang Wenli had a lot of connections in the industry, so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get close to her, so that he might be able to use her in the future.

Thinking of this, Chu Hui pretended to admire sincerely: "Sister Wenli, to be honest, you look much more beautiful in real life than on TV. You have a good figure and a good temperament, and you are full of royal sister style."

Seeing the sincere look on Chu Hui's face, Jiang Wenli was convinced and said with a smile: "Thank you, you are also very handsome!"

After a business exchange, both of them had a good impression of each other.

Seeing that Jiang Wenli was in a good mood, Chu Hui continued: "Sister Wenli, you may not believe me, but you were my dream girl when I was a student, and the actress I admire most and want to work with."

"I especially like the Miss Bai you played in "The Gate", Xia Xiaoxue in "Hand in Hand", and Concubine Zhen in "Sunset on the Forbidden City"."

"I thought your role as Concubine Zhen was so pitiful. She was thrown into a well by Cixi. When I watched this episode, I felt sad for several days."

Jiang Wenli looked at him with surprise: "Do you even remember this? It was almost ten years ago."

Originally, Jiang Wenli was a little suspicious that what Chu Hui said might be a scene talk, but seeing that he knew the characters he had played so well and spoke so clearly, she had no choice but to believe what he said.

However, only Chu Hui himself knew that what he told was a lie. He had just happened to watch some of Jiang Wenli's works and did not really regard her as the lover of his dreams.

Jiang Wenli, who didn't know the inside story, was very touched and happy to meet Chu Hui, a "fanboy" today, and she felt as if she had met Chu Hui too late.

Speaking of which, Jiang Wenli is also a hard-working person, with a smooth career and many twists and turns in relationships.

She and her husband Gu Changwei fell in love on the set of "Farewell My Concubine". She was a supporting actor at that time. She had just graduated from college and Gu Changwei, who was 12 years older, was a photographer.

The two had a flash marriage, and Jiang Wenli, who had little experience, fell in love with Gu Changwei's calmness and simplicity.

At the beginning of the 21st century, in order to prepare for his debut film "Peacock", Gu Changwei did not make any money for five years and relied entirely on his wife's filming to support the family.

After the film started filming, the incident between Director Gu and the heroine was aroused. It was rumored that Jiang Wenli once went to the heroine's hometown of Fu Jian and staged a vigorous "slapping" incident.

After the "slapping" incident, the calm and simple Gu Changwei was caught by Zhuo Wei having sex with a young woman in the car.

It is said that he repeatedly asked Zhuo Wei not to expose the young woman, and Zhuo Wei agreed, so no one knew who she was.

Therefore, Gu and Jiang's marital relationship is often rumored to be in name only.

Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on Gu Changwei. He just made the same mistake that all Chinese directors make.

You know, the top photographer known as "Asia's No. 1", Gu Changwei's photography skills are second to none in China. Big directors look for him to take pictures and have to queue up to wait for his schedule.

On the set of "Red Sorghum", Gu Changwei witnessed director Zhang Yimou having a passionate fight with the heroine Gong Li;
On the set of "Sunny Days", the love triangle between director Jiang Wen, heroine Ning Jing, and producer Liu Xiaoqing made Gu Changwei sleepless;
……

It is conceivable that after years of exposure, Gu Changwei transformed into a director not only for the sake of art, but also for the heroine.

Obviously, in Gu Changwei's opinion, if he can't have a story with the heroine, then he might as well go back to his old job. What is he doing as a director?
Factors such as his wife Jiang Wenli's intervention in the competition for the heroine also shattered Gu Changwei's dream, causing the film "The Beginning of Spring" to be delayed in filming.
