Returning to 2011, life's path began to diverge from the moment he filled out his college application.
Discovering he had actually enrolled in a performance major and seeing familiar face...
Chapter 100 Proud Boy
After dealing with the two publicity tools, Gu Wei came to the company.
He called in the company's director Li Xin and some staff members, and started shooting the song's MV according to Gu Wei's requirements.
Bring the staff to the campus of the Film Academy.
Gu Wei found his homeroom teacher, Mr. Xie, and told him that he wanted to borrow classmates to shoot a music video.
"No problem, if you have any other requests, the teacher will cooperate with you in any way he can.
Classmates, I will go and communicate with them. There is no problem. It’s just that there are not many people in our class at school right now.”
Teacher Xie is very enthusiastic. Although Gu Wei was a student who could study on campus except for his freshman year, he was not seen for the entire sophomore year, and now he is in his junior year.
But the Film and Television Academy is not an ordinary university, and the acting major is even more so. It doesn't depend on your academic performance in school, but on how far you can go on the acting path and whether you can become famous and become a star.
Everything you learn in school is for the students to have the opportunity to act in a play. The school encourages students to go out and film. If you become famous, it will be a green light all the way.
Judging from Gu Wei's current achievements, he has developed the best in his class except for Zhou Dongyu. Now he is making movies and becoming a director. His future is limitless.
"Thank you, teacher. I haven't been back for a long time. I feel sorry for causing you trouble as soon as I come back." Gu Wei said politely.
"Haha, the teachers all know that you're filming outside, and they've also read some of the news online.
Don't worry, the teacher believes that your movie will be a success.
Just like when you performed in "Embroidered Spring Blade", the teacher has confidence in you."
Teacher Xie looked at Gu Wei with encouragement.
Gu Wei felt quite embarrassed by what he said. He thought to himself that he must come back to attend classes more often when he has time so that the teacher's teaching would not be in vain.
When I arrived at the classroom, I talked to the students who were still there, and everyone was very enthusiastic.
Gu Wei expressed his gratitude to his classmates.
Zhou Dongyu and Nazha were not there, but classmate Yang was at school. Gu Wei looked at her and smiled, but did not look for her alone. After all, business was more important.
There are not enough students in Gu Wei’s class, but the thing that the Film and Television Academy has the most is extras.
Director Zhao Xin grabbed some students from the school, gathered enough people, and the MV officially started shooting.
In fact, what we needed to shoot was very simple. With the cooperation of the classmates, the small crew moved around several locations in the school and finished shooting all the shots in more than half a day.
"Thank you for your help. The MV will be online soon. You will see yourself in it. Thank you everyone."
Gu Wei expressed his gratitude to the students and asked the staff to buy a lot of fruits and milk tea to share with everyone.
Of course, a hearty lunch is also essential.
A female student who was participating in the performance ran up to Gu Wei.
"Senior, can I add your WeChat?"
She was wearing a pink dress and had fair skin, and at first glance she looked a bit like Nazha.
"Okay, junior sister." Gu Wei did not refuse and took out his cell phone with a smile.
"Senior, I really like your performance as 'Chen Lian'.
I will support the movies you make.
My name is Meng Ziyi."
The junior high school girl got what she wanted and ran away happily.
After the students finished filming their scenes, they gradually dispersed.
Gu Wei still has a few shots of his own to shoot.
It took a whole day to shoot all the shots for this simple MV.
The next day, I spent another half day editing and producing, and finally added music.
First upload the songs to major music player software and set them to play for free.
"Sister Yang, tell the people in the company to start putting this song on the charts on all the major music apps right now and spend money to hype it up.
I want to see it on the popularity charts soon.”
After informing his agent, Gu Wei posted the MV online and sent WeChat messages to Yang Mi and Liu Yifei.
Yang Mi replied almost instantly, "I have pushed it."
About ten minutes passed.
Liu Yifei's reply came late
“The songs are well written and well sung.
The MV was also well shot.
Gu Wei, I'm really looking forward to the movies you make.
I will recommend some songs to you."
Gu Wei looked at them and smiled, then replied to them with words of thanks.
Liu Yifei's home in Beijing.
The warm afternoon sun shines through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows onto the carpet in the living room.
Liu Yifei was leaning on the sofa beside the bed. Outside the window was a garden lawn with lush green grass and beautiful flowers.
Several little kittens were jumping and playing inside.
Liu Yifei didn't bother to look at these things. All her attention was attracted by the laptop on her lap.
I turned on Gu Wei's MV, turned up the volume, and listened to it again.
When I was halfway through listening, my mother Liu Xiaoli pushed the door open.
I didn't talk to her, but walked over and sat next to her, staring at the screen, and listened to the song with her.
"I just heard you put it aside in the living room, why are you putting it aside again?
This song is quite nice, it has a passionate youth vibe to it, I haven't heard it before, is it a new song?"
Liu Xiaoli asked curiously.
"Mom, do you still remember Gu Wei?"
Liu Xiaoli thought about it.
"The male lead and investor of [The Blade of the Assassin]?"
"Yes, he wrote this song and he sang it."
Liu Xiaoli was stunned for a moment and thought about it.
"It seems I underestimated this kid. When we were filming together, I knew he must be from a wealthy family and he was handsome.
I didn’t expect he was such a talented person.”
Liu Yifei shifted her gaze from the screen and looked at the cat running and jumping outside the window.
“A few months ago, he invested in a movie himself.
Now that the movie is about to be released, many people have doubts about the movie because of his age.
This song seems to be his response and his inner voice.”
"I didn't expect there was so much going on here. Just by listening to the song and watching the video, I thought it was all about passion and patriotism."
After all, Liu Xiaoli is old and doesn't like to go online.
Some of the hot news on the Internet were told to her by her daughter.
The Gu Wei incident caused a lot of uproar on the Internet, but she had no idea about it.
Hesitated for a moment
"Yifei, the fact that you can recommend songs for him shows that you two have a pretty good relationship now."
I don't understand what my mother wants to say
"It's okay. We haven't seen each other since we finished filming the movie. We chat occasionally on WeChat. We are just ordinary friends, I guess."
"I think this guy is pretty good. We can have a meal together sometime to improve our relationship. He might be able to help you in the future."
After listening to what Liu Yifei said, Liu Xiaoli changed the way she addressed Gu Wei from "boy" to "young man".
Liu Yifei knew what her mother meant, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.
[Breakup Master] crew.
When Yang Mi received the WeChat message from Gu Wei, he immediately forwarded it on Weibo.
Then put on your headphones, turn on the MV, and enjoy it slowly.
"I want to see how your singing is. How good is it compared to your sister's?"
Five minutes later, Yang Mi took off her headphones, blinked her beautiful big eyes, and felt a slightly sour nose.
Deng Chao happened to be walking over from a distance. It was the crew's break time, and no one had anything to do.
"Hey, Mimi, what's wrong?"
Deng Chao asked with a smile.
In the crew, although Deng Chao is the director, he has a cheerful personality, loves to joke, and never scolds anyone.
Everyone in the crew liked him very much and felt that filming with a director like Deng Chao was very easy and they didn't have to worry.
It was also from this drama that Deng Chao's true nature was completely exposed. He started running wildly on the path of being funny and could never turn back.
"My friend released a song and I recommended it to him. I just listened to it myself."
Deng Chao saw that Yang Mi's eyes were a little red, and he immediately became interested.
"Would you mind letting me listen to it?"
"No problem, Brother Chao."
Yang Mi took out his headphones, turned the volume to external, and placed his phone sideways on the table in front of him.
Nazha, who was not far away, heard their conversation and came over curiously.
Yang Mi didn't mind. He adjusted the angle of the phone and placed it where everyone could see it.
The MV started playing again and the music started playing.
After a while, the playback was finished again.
Deng Chao was silent for a while and no longer had that playful smile on his face.
"Mi Mi, your friend is very talented.
His name is Gu Wei, right? I saw in the opening credits that he wrote the lyrics, arranged the music, and sang the song.
Please introduce me to him when you have time.
Brother Chao likes making friends with educated people the most.”
Yang Mi nodded in agreement.
Nazha, who was standing by, felt her heart pounding.
'I didn't expect that you, Gu Wei, had these two skills. Why didn't I know anything about it when we were together?
I'll make things difficult for you next time we meet.' She made a note of this incident in her little notebook.
