Fu Shiyi originally thought that his sister-in-law wanted to make a movie because she was tired of acting and felt it wasn't challenging enough.
So, on a whim, he decided to become a director himself.
However, I was so scared when I actually turned it on that I almost knelt down.
She explained everyone's roles in great detail, directing while acting out her own scenes, keeping the whole scene in perfect order.
In her previous works, such as "Changfeng" and "Eagle Eye," she did not showcase her full potential.
Now that he's directing, he's really let loose, constantly acting opposite Song Yu, which scares Song Yu, whose acting skills are lacking, into trembling.
How could his sister-in-law be so amazing?
She's only nineteen, not even twenty yet, so why is she such a genius?
Like him, Qiu Ling, the new actress who was to play Ye Zi, was also trembling with fear.
After watching Gu Weiwei and Song Yu perform several shows in a row, I felt immense pressure and hid to the side to memorize my lines and get into character.
However, unsurprisingly, she had to retake her first scene.
"Sister Wei...Director, it's me..."
Qiu Ling exclaimed before realizing that the actor was only nineteen years old, a year younger than her.
Gu Weiwei didn't immediately have her start the second scene. She asked the crew to stop filming and rest, and then went over two scenes with Qiu Ling alone to help her get into character.
Although there were two more takes, her final performance did not disappoint her.
The first day of filming ended late at night.
Urged on by Fu Hanzheng's phone call, Gu Weiwei went to have dinner.
Then, I went to watch a few scenes that had been filmed throughout the day, just in case there were any parts I wasn't satisfied with, so we could quickly reshoot them to avoid having to reshoot them after a change of location.
Seeing that she wasn't asleep, Fu Shiyi didn't dare to go to sleep by himself, so he stayed with her in the camera crew.
"However, it seems that 'The Dream of Immortality 2' is about Ling Yan undergoing heart surgery, and our 'Half-Dreaming, Half-Awake' also has this plot point. Would that be inappropriate?"
"What's wrong with that? Can't you have a little faith in me?" Gu Weiwei said with a smile.
"The Dream of Immortality" takes a warm and healing approach, while "Half-Dreaming, Half-Awake" has a dark and suspenseful style.
Moreover, this movie is meant to slap Ling Yan in the face, and also to slap her "Eternal Dream 2" in the face.
Perhaps others will just see it as a movie, but Ling Yan will find it very exciting.
Others may not know, but she knows perfectly well how she got that heart.
When she finally reveals her true colors, comparing these two films will be even more interesting.
"Ling Yan just had a heart transplant and wanted to make a heartwarming and inspirational movie, but our movie is so dark and horrifying, is that really okay?"
Even now, Fu Shiyi still gets a chill when he thinks about that script.
"These are not your concerns. Just focus on getting back into the swing of things and don't let me down."
Gu Weiwei stared intently at the screen, not even glancing at him.
After this movie is released, the truth about Ling Yan's plot to murder her so she could get a heart transplant should be revealed. At that time... that will be the time for this legendary actress to fall.
Similarly, it will be time for "Half-Awake" to become a new legend.
Moreover, they still need to capitalize on her popularity.
Fu Shiyi stared intently at Gu Weiwei, who was focused on reviewing the film, and asked.
"Sister-in-law, I want to ask you, are you really human?"
"What did you say?" Gu Weiwei turned her head.
"Who the hell can become a top-tier star with just two movies at the age of nineteen, and even direct their own films? You're so incredibly strong, you know?" Fu Shiyi complained.
