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 313 I Got a Tiger General
As time goes by, the filming of "Detective Chinatown 2" is gradually coming to an end.
The daily shooting tasks were not as heavy as at the beginning, and the crew members and actors gradually relaxed.
After everyone relaxed, the filming progress was not delayed, but the efficiency was improved.
The actors cooperated with each other very well, especially Gu Wei, Wang Baoqiang and Xiao Yang. Few shots needed to be retaken and most of them were done in one take.
In the secret room of the hospital, the villain BOSS was already dead. Gu Wei and Xiao Yang sat side by side on the steps, watching the police busy at the scene in the distance.
During their conversation, Gu Wei judged that Xiao Yang was left-handed based on his subconscious action when he saved him just now.
Then he bluntly pointed out that he had killed someone while hitchhiking, and the fingerprints on the chalk and the body in the trunk of the taxi that had not been dealt with in time were all evidence.
Seeing this, Xiao Yang stopped pretending. His expression became serious and he was no longer laughing as usual.
"Qin Feng, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring back at you.
So, you can look, but don’t look for too long! ”
As he spoke, the camera moved closer and Xiao Yang turned to look over.
“Crack!”
Gu Wei walked over and looked at the previous shots.
He took the loudspeaker from the assistant director.
"It's done, it's finished!"
“That’s great!”
"Finished!!"
“.”
The crew members cheered one by one.
This time is different from the past. We came to the other side of the ocean to shoot a movie. The environment is unfamiliar, the language is not fluent, and the shooting schedule is very tight.
Not only do we have to face heavy shooting tasks every day, but we also have to endure the loneliness of being in a foreign land.
Since the filming started, all the crew members have been on edge.
Now that the filming has been completed, it is finally a success and everyone is very happy.
They were happy not only because their work was over, but most importantly, they could go home!
“What a great performance!”
Gu Wei walked up to Xiao Yang, patted his shoulder and praised him.
"It's all thanks to the director's guidance. I'm far behind you and Brother Baoqiang."
Xiao Yang smiled with a simple and honest look on his face, completely different from the intelligent and both good and evil person he had shown in the movie just now.
"You~ don't be so modest. I'd rather have the role repeated than have you play this role in the second film. What I value is your acting skills."
Regardless of whether Xiao Yang is acting now or he was acting in the camera just now, Gu Wei deserves a thumbs up for his acting skills.
"What do you think about what I told you before?
I am very optimistic about your development, and I will have many roles suitable for you in the future."
This was the second time Gu Wei tried to recruit Xiao Yang. He had mentioned it to Xiao Yang when they were filming "Detective Chinatown 1", but at that time he was still not fully grown and his company was just starting out without much success, so he was politely rejected by the other party.
Now two years have passed, and Gu Wei himself has become a top star in the entertainment industry. His company has also grown and developed, with many excellent films being produced, and he is also well-known in the industry.
Now for the second collaboration, he once again invited Xiao Yang.
"I'm so grateful that the director thinks so highly of me. It would be inappropriate for me to refuse.
I will report to the company when I return home."
Xiao Yang still said with a naive smile.
"good!
I happen to have a comedy film script that would be perfect for you to play the male lead. When we return to China, I'll have the company start preparing for this project."
"Thank you, Director~
No thanks, boss! "
Xiao Yang also seemed a little surprised. He planned to join Gu Wei's company because he was optimistic about the development of his company.
But I didn’t expect that as soon as I agreed, a huge package of resources would be delivered to me.
Although he has been working alone in recent years, he still has a certain understanding of the film and television companies in the circle.
"Wei Ming Tian Xia" under Gu Wei's name can be said to be the fastest growing company in the film and television industry in the past two years.
Starting from producing online dramas, to now investing in and producing TV dramas that are broadcast on satellite channels and blockbuster movies, the company has produced many hits and the profits are extremely exaggerated.
He has been working on his own for many years and knows how difficult it is to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry without a backer.
Unless someone is as famous as Gu Wei, who can carry the ratings and box office on his own, no one is irreplaceable.
Everyone has their own competitors in the circle. You and he can play the role in a movie, and who to use depends on their connections and background.
After joining Gu Wei's company, he no longer has to work as hard on acting as before. He can completely leave it to the company and concentrate on improving his acting skills and doing things that interest him, which saves him a lot of trouble.
Gu Wei was also very happy to get Xiao Yang's reply, and felt like "I have gained a powerful general."
There are too many roles suitable for Xiao Yang, such as the "Accidental Manslaughter" series that Gu Wei has always wanted to make, and the comedy film "The Love Master" that he just promised him, both of which are movies with good box office reputation.
Moreover, the character's personality is suitable for Xiao Yang, and his acting skills can fully support it.
The actor Xiao Yang is born with a greasy feeling, but he is not annoying, and he makes good use of this trait.
Especially when he plays some special roles, the contrast he creates once he becomes serious can make the audience's scalp tingle.
"Song Yi" in [Detective Chinatown 2] is such a character.
All the scenes in New York have been completed. There are still some shots left in the movie where Gu Wei and Wang Baoqiang are locked in the room. These were originally planned to be re-shot in China, so there is no need to rush.
In the evening, Gu Wei booked the entire restaurant in nearby Chinatown to hold a wrap-up party for the crew members.
At this time, there was no distinction between big directors and small actors. Everyone drank, ate, sang, and expressed their joy at the completion of the film.
"Gu Wei, thank you~"
Liu Yifei wore a white top and jeans today, with light makeup on her face and dressed casually.
She held up a glass of white wine and looked at Gu Wei with a smile.
"Sister Yifei, where does this thank you come from?"
Gu Wei looked at the wine, then at her fair face and asked.
"You're asking even though you already know the answer. Of course, I'm thanking you, the big boss, for hiring me to act in this show!"
Liu Yifei said in a cute way.
"Don't be so polite with me. With the relationship between us, saying thank you feels a bit strange."
"Damn it, I'm being polite~"
"Haha, come on, I won't tease you anymore, let's have a drink together."
As he spoke, Gu Wei raised the wine glass in his hand and clinked it with Liu Yifei.
They each took a big sip.
Xiao Nazha, who was watching from the side, saw Liu Yifei put down her glass after drinking and hurried over.
"Sister Yifei, I toast you."
Wang Baoqiang and Xiao Yang came to toast Gu Wei, so he ignored them.
The dinner lasted for a long time. After eating and drinking, everyone returned to the hotel to rest contentedly.
In Nazha's room, Gu Wei helped her onto the bed, took a cup of warm water and fed her a sip.
"Why do you drink so much if you can't drink?"
Gu Weiyou looked at Nazha who was obviously drunk and said with some blame and heartache.
"Hey, sister Yifei and I, you toast me a glass and I toast you a glass, I didn't feel drunk at the time~"
Nazha's face was flushed and her eyes were a little blurry.
"When we left the restaurant, I saw Liu Yifei didn't react at all. How come you two are so different even though you both drank the same amount of alcohol?"
"I don't know either, I feel like Yifei drinks a little more than me.
She can drink quite well.”
Gu Wei helped her change into pajamas, covered her with the quilt, then bent down and kissed her smooth forehead.
"Go to sleep, you'll be fine tomorrow morning~"
Then he stood up and turned to leave.
Suddenly he felt his clothes being pulled. It turned out that Nazha opened her eyes and looked at him. Her tender little white hands reached out from under the quilt and grabbed the corner of Gu Wei's clothes.
“Don’t go.”
"Ah~ I really can't do anything with you!"
Gu Wei sighed, took off his clothes, got on the bed, lay down next to Nazha, and half-hugged her in his arms.
Nazha also turned sideways and hugged him, closed her eyes, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. She rubbed her cute little face on his arm and fell asleep quickly like a kitten.
