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 634: The Female Protagonist and Cold Body
【Sito】is a modern and contemporary romance novel serialized in Jinjiang.
It tells the story of the male protagonist Qin Fang who fell off a cliff due to a car accident and was pierced in the heart by a sharp stake at the bottom of the cliff. The dripping blood resurrected the banshee Si Teng who had been buried underground for a long time.
His life, which should have been dead, was brought back to life by Si Teng's magical powers. From then on, he could never leave Si Teng's side again. So he accompanied her to uncover a history that had been sealed for more than 70 years, and they experienced various twists and turns together.
The whole story is divided into two parts. The main line is the modern drama, which is the time and space when Qin Fang and Si Teng are together. The other part is more than 70 years ago, telling Si Teng’s past in the form of memories, her origin, why she died, and even who she was entangled with.
[Sito] The original novel is very famous in Jinjiang and has many readers. The logic of the story is also very good, and the plot is ups and downs, which is very attractive.
However, no matter what framework women's romance novels use or what genre they are written in, they are essentially about love between men and women.
Although the setting and story of [Sito] are good, the most attractive thing is the emotional line between the male and female protagonists.
In one sentence, "a cold and arrogant seductress and a modern loyal, rich and handsome man".
Unlike the popular idol dramas in the market where the overbearing president falls in love with me, "Sito" takes a unique approach. It is not a bg drama, but a gb drama where the female lead is strong and the male lead is weak.
The master-servant relationship between woman A and man O almost completely subverts the conventional idol drama.
The heroine Si Teng is strong and courageous, invincible, and can cut through mountains and build bridges across rivers. Her intelligence and combat power are both online.
Qin Fang is kind, considerate and graceful, reliable and trustworthy, smart and aware of the times.
This unconventional character setting that breaks the inherent gender impression is full of unique tension and is also one of the main highlights of the show.
"How about this white cheongsam? Does it look good?"
At the opening ceremony the next day, Jing Tian, who had changed into his performance costume, turned around in front of Gu Wei, looking forward to his evaluation.
"Tiantian, you know, there are only wrong names, but no wrong nicknames." Gu Wei touched his chin and looked at Jingtian, who was wearing a white brocade cheongsam.
"What's the meaning?"
"You must be aware of the nickname netizens have given you, 'The Most Beautiful Woman in the World'!"
"How can it be so exaggerated?"
Jing Tian covered her mouth and giggled, obviously very pleased with Gu Wei's praise.
"It's not an exaggeration at all." Gu Wei spoke the truth.
After Jingtian put on this cheongsam, her whole temperament was strongly highlighted. She had a graceful figure, a smooth and round fair face, delicate and beautiful facial features, long black hair hanging down to her shoulders, and her specially trained demeanor. Her beauty and nobility were really amazing!
There are many beauties in the domestic entertainment industry, but no matter how you evaluate them, Da Tiantian can be considered the top one.
Her cheongsam outfit, image and temperament are unique, and few people can match her.
Compared to her, Gu Wei's dress seemed much more casual, ordinary casual wear, a white blouse with a light blue jacket, and a pair of brown Martin boots, just like an ordinary tourist's outfit, all supported by his figure and good looks.
"Boss, the opening ceremony is about to begin"
The two chatted in the dressing room for a while before Gu Wei's assistant came in to inform them.
"Wait." Jing Tian was about to go out when Gu Wei stopped her.
He took a black coat from the hanger nearby and put it on the other person.
"It's at a high altitude here, and the temperature is still a bit low in the morning. Be careful not to catch a cold."
"Hmm~
Thank you." Jing Tian pulled his coat inwards, turned to look at Gu Wei and smiled sweetly.
The environment in Shangri-La is truly beautiful, with the blue sky, snow-capped mountains in the distance, and woods and lakes nearby. It gives a sense of purity that is far away from the world.
Li Muge chose this location for the filming after careful consideration. He visited many places during the preparations and finally decided on a few scenic spots that he thought were the most beautiful.
It can be seen from Li Muge's works that this director has his own unique aesthetic sense and is particularly good at photographing beautiful scenery and beautiful women.
The opening ceremony of [Sito] was simpler than those of Gu Wei’s previous dramas. The crew temporarily built a wooden platform with a red banner hanging behind it - Good luck in the opening of [Sito]!
You can see how the crew dealt with this aspect.
However, today, in addition to the crew members, there were also many reporters from all walks of life. Even the remote Shangri-La could not stop these media from coming.
After all, Gu Wei’s new drama has just started filming, and everyone wants to get the first-hand news.
"Go Go Squid!" is still in theaters, and the heroine of Gu Wei's new drama is particularly popular.
"May I ask what made you take on the drama [Si Teng]? After all, considering the subject matter, it's difficult for [Si Teng] to be broadcast on satellite TV!"
With reporters present, interviews are inevitable, and Gu Wei is definitely the focus of media attention.
"[Si Teng] was produced by my own company, so it's normal for me to act in it.
And I have always believed that the most important thing about a drama is its content; the broadcasting platform is not important."
"Then why was Miss Jingtian chosen to play the heroine of [Si Teng]?"
"You shouldn't ask me this. I'm just an actor. The director has the final say." Gu Wei threw the ball to Li Muge.
"Ms. Jingtian is very suitable for the role in the play in terms of both appearance and temperament. We made the decision after careful consideration and rigorous auditions." Director Li was obviously lying with his eyes open.
How could a little-known director like him have the right to choose the actors? When he took on this drama, Weiming Tianxia had already told him clearly who the male and female protagonists would be.
But this kind of thing is not easy to tell others. He is also a good person. When Gu Wei threw the topic to him, Li Muge knew what to say.
"Excuse me, Ms. Jingtian, did you bring in any money for this drama?"
The media always likes to ask some sharp questions so that they can attract attention. Obviously, the reporter who asked this question was very impolite and directly hit the sore spot of Da Tiantian that was criticized.
"Uh" Jing Tian was not angry. Although the question was a bit unexpected, she had become numb to being slandered over the years.
"Let me say it~" Da Tiantian was about to speak when Gu Wei interrupted.
"This work is controlled and wholly produced by [Wei Ming Tian Xia], with no other investors. Do you understand?"
Gu Wei's tone was a little stiff, but Jing Tian, who was standing next to him, felt warm in his heart. He turned around and looked at him with a happy face.
"As everyone knows, after the huge success of Go Go Squid!, rumors have been circulating online that you have the physique to attract female leads, and Jing Tian is widely acknowledged as someone who can't be made popular.
Do you think this collaboration can completely change Jing Tian's fate of being "cold" and make her famous? "
At the end of the interview, the reporter from Nandu Daily asked a question that everyone wanted to know.
Gu Wei smiled after hearing this.
“I am also a young person and have read some of the comments online.
First of all, let me make one thing clear here. I don’t think I have any “lucky female lead” physique, but I just happened to star in a drama that everyone likes with other excellent actresses.
The drama became a hit, and the actress who played the female lead naturally reaped the benefits.
If I attribute the actresses' fame because of the drama to me, it would obviously be unfair to them.
Everyone put in a lot of effort to film the show, and the final reward is a recognition of that effort."
After saying that, he turned and looked at Jingtian.
"Secondly, I don't think Jingtian is unpopular.
This is not the first time Tiantian and I have worked together. We knew each other a few years ago and were good friends. The first time we filmed together was in "The Great Wall".
Netizens who follow the entertainment industry may have heard a saying, "Jingtian who can't be popular", but when everyone knows this saying, it actually proves the popularity of Mr. Jingtian from the side.
This time we will work together to present a wonderful work to everyone, and we also hope that everyone will pay more attention to [Sito] herself.
Thanks! "
After the opening ceremony, all the people left the scene one after another and the staff were packing up to prepare for the first day of filming.
"Do you really think so?" Jing Tian moved closer to Gu Wei and looked at him with his cute big eyes.
"What?"
“I just told the reporter.”
Gu Wei's eyes turned and he nodded.
"Yes, just like I said, the netizens' joke actually proves that even though you haven't become a huge star over the years, your popularity among the public is still high.
only."
"Just what?"
"It's just that you still lack a work that is loved by everyone and a classic role.
A star’s fame consists of two parts: one is his popularity among passers-by, and the other is the number of his loyal fans.
Your current popularity is not low, and people think you are not popular only because you don't have a good work that can attract fans, and you are not keen on hype and are not a hot topic, so it seems that you can never become popular. "
Da Tiantian nodded thoughtfully.
She felt that what Gu Wei said was easy to understand and made a lot of sense.
Since her debut, she has been somewhat confused about accepting acting roles. Although she has acted in big-budget movies, she simply thought that this kind of movie would be more prestigious and would make her more famous, and she didn't think much about anything else.
In the end, he received bad reviews and was criticized by the audience, but he just attributed it to his poor acting.
"Brother Wei, thank you." After figuring it out, Jing Tian looked up and thanked Gu Wei sincerely.
"Why thank me? Just act well in this drama. I promise that you will get what you have always wanted after it is broadcast!" Gu Wei waved his hand and promised.
"Um!
I trust you! "
After the news of the start of filming of [Sito] was released, it attracted a lot of criticism.
First of all, with Gu Wei's current status, he is filming a web drama that cannot be broadcast on TV. Moreover, according to the plot of "Sito", the heroine is more outstanding. This puzzled many of his fans and passers-by netizens.
Secondly, his partner is Da Tiantian, who is famous for starring in bad movies. Although Gu Wei spoke beautifully at the opening ceremony, "unable to make him popular" has become a label for Jingtian.
The ice is three feet thick and it didn't freeze overnight. This is the negative impact that Da Tiantian has suffered from her continuous appearances in bad movies over the years.
The reason he chose to act with Yang Zi was because they were good friends and he could lend a hand to his friend at critical moments. In this entertainment industry where profit is the priority, Gu Wei's behavior was praised by many people, and his friendship with Yang Zi was also talked about.
But many people don’t understand why they work with Jingtian.
[I don't understand. Is Gu Wei making things difficult for himself?
In the early years, I worked with popular female stars such as Yang Mi, Tang Yan, and Zhao Liying. Later, I worked with Nazha and Reba, who were not very famous at the time, but were really beautiful.
I was already not optimistic about him acting with Yang Zi, and now he's challenging the unpopular Da Tiantian?]
[Everyone is just hanging out with whoever's popular, but Gu Wei is currently the most popular. It seems he's determined to take on challenging challenges!]
Where does Gu Wei get his confidence from when "Warring States," "The Great Wall," and a host of Hollywood blockbusters failed to make Jingtian a hit?
[Lao Mouzi said: It seems I am no longer capable, Gu Wei now depends on you! ]
[Sure enough, one of the mysterious forces of domestic entertainment is Da Tiantian’s resources!
"Go Go Squid!" has become a huge hit, and the most discussed topic recently is Gu Wei's "nanny dad" physique and his ability to bring good luck to the female lead. But then Jing Tian turns around and is about to work with Gu Wei.
The other female celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry were moved to tears. No one expected that Da Tiantian would be the first to eat meat!
[Am I the only one who thinks Jing Tian's resources have been downgraded? She used to only act in movies!]
If working with Gu Wei means downgrading resources, then I guess all female stars would want their own resources downgraded.
Besides, making movies isn't a big deal, right? In this day and age, why do people still think movie stars are superior?]
[That's right, Gu Wei is acting in a TV series because he has no movies to shoot. He even said at the opening ceremony that this is a drama invested by his own company. To put it bluntly, he is the biggest boss!]
[In fact, Jing Tian has been acting in TV series all the time, just not many. His previous role in "The Glory of Tang Dynasty" was good, but his image was a bit like a "sad frog"]
[If "Sito" becomes a big hit this time, and Jing Tian, who has a "cold body", can become popular, then Gu Wei will be really awesome, and no one can refute his physique that "lucky female protagonists".
The entertainment industry is sometimes so mysterious.]
【.】
Gu Wei's new drama has started filming, but netizens are not focusing on the content of the TV series. Instead, they are more concerned about why Jing Tian got this opportunity, and whether he can rely on this drama to reverse his reputation and become popular again, or break the rumor that Gu Wei is a "lucky female lead" and continue his road to failure.
The official Weibo of [Sito] released several photos of the male and female protagonists in the play. Qin Fang, played by Gu Wei, was quite decent, and Jing Tian's cheongsam style attracted praise from many netizens.
Although the TV series is still a long way from being broadcast, judging from the finalized photos, Jing Tian's look is really beautiful and matches well with Gu Wei.
