Chapter 97 I Will Definitely Become a Big Star

"How's the filming going now?"

When asked about this, Li Xian became more alert and said excitedly:

"Lu has his own unique style of filming, which is different from the ones I have filmed before.

Hmm~ How should I put it, it's very interesting.

For some shots, even though the props are very simple, the effect is very good.

Overall, the shoot went smoothly.”

"Okay, I'm relieved that you're fine." Gu Wei smiled.

The two of them walked around and came to the place where Li Xian usually rested.

Peng Peng, who was sitting and playing with his mobile phone, saw Li Xian coming with a young handsome man. Thinking of what he had just said to him, he quickly stood up.

"County brother~

Hello, Mr. Gu!

He first greeted County Magistrate Li, and then greeted Gu Wei.

When he was on the crew, he chatted with Li Xian casually.

From Li Xian, I learned that the investor of this drama was his classmate, Gu Wei.

"This is Peng Yuchang, an actor in our drama, a talented student at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and a good friend I met while filming," Li Xian introduced.

Gu Wei's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that without his intervention in the casting, Peng Yuchang still got the first role in his life in "The Princess Weiyoung".

Before this, Gu Wei had only told Zhao Mingcheng about the candidates for the male and female protagonists and the director.

He had no control over the choice of other actors.

Because there are no contracted actors in the company, Pan Yueming, the only one affiliated with the studio, is not suitable to star in this drama.

After Zhao Mingcheng found a director and prepared the crew, he completely handed the casting work over to the director. After all, once the male and female protagonists were chosen, the other roles were not that important.

Besides, only the director knows what kind of role he needs.

Unexpectedly, under such circumstances, Peng Peng still joined the crew.

"Hello, I just came from Shanghai as well. I met a friend there. She is also a senior at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, majoring in acting.

It seems that I have a good connection with people who work in the theatre industry."

Gu Wei shook hands with Peng Yuchang and said with a smile.

"Haha~, actually I'm studying puppetry." Peng Peng scratched his head with his hand and smiled awkwardly.

Gu Wei laughed and turned to Li Xian and said

"You are quite an honest kid."

In this drama, Gu Wei doesn't recognize any of the other actors except his ex-girlfriend Zhang Tianai, good friend Li Xian, and Peng Yuchang in front of him.

Not even sure if they are the original actors.

But none of this matters.

After all, after the original version of "Go Princess Go" became a huge hit, all the actors except Zhang Tianai disappeared from the circle.

The lack of popularity of the character is one thing, and the lack of subsequent works and exposure has gradually led to his disappearance into the mainstream.

Who would have thought that the person who would finally gain a foothold and make progress in the circle of a phenomenally popular online drama would be Peng Yuchang, who played the role of Eunuch Qiang.

All I can say is 'small fires rely on support, big fires rely on fate.'

Chatted with Li Xian and Peng Peng for a while.

Zhang Tianai finished filming today's scenes and walked over here.

As the name suggests, she is the absolute protagonist in the crew of "Go Princess Go", playing the role of the Crown Princess.

So the scenes every day are very heavy.

But she never complained or felt tired, but instead put in her utmost effort to perform well in the play.

Because she knew that opportunities were hard to come by, and she didn't want to let Gu Wei down.

Everyone in the crew saw her efforts, and the director was naturally very satisfied.

Although he did not choose the male and female protagonists, he is surprisingly good at playing them, and his acting skills and attitude are impeccable.

When Li Xian saw Zhang Tianai coming over, he quickly stood up, pulled Peng Peng, and said to Gu Wei.

"Peng Peng and I have to go on stage. Let's talk after the show."

Peng Peng was pulled to his feet, still a little confused.

"Brother Xian, there's no hope for me?" he whispered to County Magistrate Li.

Li Xian gave him a look and said, "No, you don't!"

Then he pulled him away.

As Yang Zi's friend, Li Xian knew that Zhang Tianai was Gu Wei's ex-girlfriend.

After all, Gu Wei didn't hide it from anyone at that time.

Yang Zi is such a gossipy person that he is very curious about this kind of thing.

At that time, he had only heard from Yang Zi that Gu Wei's ex-girlfriend was Zhang Tianai, who was his colleague when filming "The Sword Identity".

When you join the crew and meet the heroine of this drama, you will naturally know her identity.

So during the filming, Li Xian and Zhang Tianai were always nodding acquaintances.

After all, it’s not good for a good friend’s ex-girlfriend to have such a good relationship with her.

Gu Wei didn't care about Li Xian and the others leaving.

He stood up, and Zhang Tianai just walked in front of him.

"Xiao Ai, long time no see." Gu Wei looked at her with a smile.

I haven't seen her for more than half a year. Zhang Tianai has become thinner. She looks exactly like the "Crown Princess" in my impression, and even more heroic.

"Long time no see, Gu Wei. You've become more handsome."

"Really? You've lost weight and become more beautiful."

After half a year, they met again. Past experiences did not bring them more negative emotions. As time went by, there was only a faint joy between the two.

It's the kind that makes me happy to see you again and find that you are better than before.

"Is filming going smoothly on the set?"

"Everything is fine. The director and producer are very caring towards me, and the actors in the crew are also easy to get along with."

"I feel relieved when you say that. If you have any problems in the future, please contact me as soon as possible.

I will help you~"

Gu Wei looked at Zhang Tianai with a smile and said gently.

The warm sunlight shines through the mottled shade of the trees onto Gu Wei's handsome face.

This scene and gentle words seemed to bring Zhang Tianai back to the crew of "The Sword of Assassin" a year ago.

The overlap of memory and reality made her dazed for a moment.

'Unfortunately, I am no longer the same person, and he is no longer the same person.

But the good news is that we are all better off than we were before.'

In the evening, the crew finished a day's filming.

Gu Wei invited the director and the main actors of the crew to have dinner together.

It's a reward for everyone and a boost to morale. I hope that in the days to come, everyone can work together to make the show better and better.

He asked County Magistrate Li to bring Peng Yuchang along, which made Peng Peng feel flattered.

At the dinner, everyone, including the director, expressed their opinions to Gu Wei. Both the host and the guests were having a great time, and the team morale was high.

After the banquet, Gu Wei returned to the crew’s hotel room.

"Mr. Gu, China Film Group has sent a notice that Detective Chinatown will be released on December 11th.

A release conference will be held next week to start promoting the film.

The first trailer and some promotional posters for the film have been uploaded online.”

Yang Liwen called.

"Very good. If nothing unexpected happens, I will return to the capital tomorrow."

At this time, in the corridor outside the room.

Zhang Tianai walked over here, looked at Gu Wei's door, mustered up the courage to walk forward, and raised his hand to knock on the door.

But at the last moment, she stopped.

There was a struggling expression on her face, but after a few seconds, she put down her hand, sighed, turned and left.

Inside the room, Gu Wei had just hung up the phone with his agent and was ready to rest.

The next day, Gu Wei simply said goodbye to the crew and prepared to return to the capital.

"Xiao Ai, I'm leaving now. Remember what I said, if you have any questions, you must come to me.

Work hard on your acting, I believe you will become a big star after this drama is released.

Don’t forget me, your ex-boyfriend~"

Gu Wei encouraged her with a smile, then waved goodbye.

Zhang Tianai, who was smiling behind him, looked at Gu Wei's receding figure and murmured:

"Gu Wei, just wait for me to become a big star."
