Chapter 125 Filming
The next morning, Gu Wei moved away the long legs that were pressing on him.
He had to catch a flight back to Shanghai this morning. Judging from Yang Caiyu's condition, she wouldn't be able to get up until noon. She left a note, tidied herself up a little, and left.
It's not a good idea to delay the crew for too long.
Besides, Gu Wei knew that he would have a lot of things to do in the near future and would have many opportunities to take leave. Although the director would definitely let him go, he couldn't make things too difficult for the director.
During the few days that Gu Wei was away, the crew had been filming Zhao Liying's individual scenes. Gu Wei's short absence had little impact on the overall filming plan.
After all, the TV series is called "My Sunshine", and the heroine has the most scenes.
After returning to the crew, Gu Wei asked his assistant to buy some fruits, milk tea and snacks for the actors and staff. In this regard, Gu Wei was quite good at dealing with people, and everyone welcomed his return.
The filming of the TV series is progressing normally, and the relationship between Feng Teng, played by Gu Wei, and the heroine Shanshan is gradually becoming clearer.
Today we are shooting a 'night scene'.
'Feng Teng' and 'Shan Shan' strolled along the street in a night full of neon lights.
Gu Wei was wearing a black woolen coat with a suit and tie underneath. His tall figure looked like a walking clothes rack, and his angular face looked stern.
Zhao Liying was wearing a cute pink down jacket in the back, with her round face tied into a bun.
The two of them slowly walked to a huge Christmas tree filled with small colored lights.
Zhao Liying turned sideways and faced Gu Wei
"Could I have misunderstood that you like me?" She spoke haltingly and didn't seem very confident.
"It's okay to have misunderstandings occasionally~" Gu Wei turned his head, his expression still unchanged.
"But you never told me that?"
"Shouldn't the person with the intention say it first?" Gu Wei said in a pretentious tone.
"I~I didn't. I don't like you because you are too childish!" Zhao Liying was a little embarrassed and angry at what he said.
Gu Wei turned around and faced her, the two of them facing each other.
"Why? The worst that can happen is that you fire me. If you want to fire me, you're even more childish!" Zhao Liying said to herself.
At this time, Gu Wei was getting closer and closer to her. He slowly leaned forward, gently lifted her chin with one hand, and looked at her closely.
Zhao Liying was speechless when Gu Wei looked at her. It was the first time that she was so close to Gu Wei after filming for "Come On, My Love" for so many days.
At this distance, she could see Gu Wei's face more clearly, with his heroic sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples, his clear and electric eyes without a trace of impurities, and his sexy thin lips under his high nose bridge full of masculine temptation.
Without hesitation, Gu Wei lowered his head and kissed her.
The camera moved up from behind Gu Wei, and Zhao Liying's eyes suddenly widened, as if she was surprised by the sudden kiss, and then slowly narrowed her eyes with an expression of enjoyment.
After a long time, their lips parted.
Gu Wei looked at her affectionately and said calmly, "I won't fire you~"
The two people looked at each other, and the picture seemed to be frozen at this moment.
The camera also meticulously recorded this scene from every angle.
"Ka! Very good! Gu Wei and Li Ying are great, this one passed~"
After the director called cut, the staff came forward to pack up their things, and Gu Wei and Zhao Liying also separated.
Zhao Liying's face turned red, and she took a small step back, looking around, a little afraid to look at Gu Wei.
"Liying, you performed well~" Gu Wei encouraged her.
"Haha~ It's ok, you acted well too. I'm a little thirsty, I'm going to drink some water first~"
Zhao Liying ran away after saying this.
Gu Wei didn't care, this was the first kiss between the male and female protagonists in the play.
He read the script and found that as the relationship between the two grew stronger, there would be quite a few kissing scenes. After all, it was an idol romance drama, and the main theme of "My Sunshine" was cute and sweet.
The cuteness of the heroine and the sweetness of the love affair will inevitably lead to some sweet plots for the audience later on.
After filming another scene where Feng Teng drives Shanshan home, today's filming tasks are completed.
"Liying, are you still running tonight?"
Gu Wei walked up to Zhao Liying and asked her.
Gu Wei had promised her this. As long as he didn't have any filming, he would go running with her on time. Gu Wei always kept his word.
Today, Zhao Liying is not as happy as before.
"Uh~ It's a little too late today, forget it, we'll continue tomorrow."
As she spoke, she glanced up at Gu Wei a few times.
"Okay, that's fine by you. If nothing else, I'll be leaving."
Gu Wei smiled and waved to her.
At night, in the crew’s hotel.
Zhao Liying was alone in the room.
She had already washed up and was wearing a loose and baggy pajamas and a little rabbit headband on her head. She looked small and cute.
She was lying on the big bed in the hotel, kicking her two little feet back and forth.
Thinking of the scenes of filming today, her heart still couldn't calm down for a long time.
Gu Wei's handsome and affectionate face always appears in her mind.
"Zhao Liying, what's wrong with you? It's just filming. You have to remember that you are a professional actor!"
She said to herself in her heart.
"It's just a kissing scene, don't take it too seriously, adjust yourself and don't let it affect the next shoot."
Take a few deep breaths, get out of bed and run to the mirror.
"Come on~ Film well~ Don't be affected!"
Looking at myself in the mirror, I clenched my fists and encouraged myself.
At this time, Gu Wei, who was in the hotel room, had no idea about Zhao Liying's profound inner changes. He had just received a call from his agent.
"Mr. Gu, our studio has received invitations from several local TV stations. We hope you can perform at their Spring Festival Galas!"
"Didn't CCTV send us an invitation for the Spring Festival Gala?"
Gu Wei was a little confused. Logically speaking, with his current fame and the popularity of several of his songs, CCTV Spring Festival Gala should have invited him.
Yang Liwen on the other end of the phone hesitated.
"Mr. Gu, the chief director of this year's CCTV Spring Festival Gala is Feng Xiaogang~"
Gu Wei suddenly realized that the county magistrate was not as good as the current manager. Since the chief director was Feng Xiaogang, even if someone suggested inviting Gu Wei, he would probably reject it.
After all, Gu Wei's "Detective Chinatown" completely crushed "Private Tailor" at the Lunar New Year box office this year.
In the end, just as Gu Wei had expected, "Private Tailor" was released with a box office of over 500 million yuan.
The 1 billion target initially mentioned by the producer Huayi became a joke.
During the Lunar New Year box office battle, Gu Wei did not express the kind of respect he showed to his senior director Feng Xiaogang when he was interviewed.
In addition, the box office of "Personal Tailor" did not meet expectations, and the media exaggerated the reports, comparing it with "Detective Chinatown" from time to time to criticize his movie.
With Feng Xiaogang's personality, how could he not feel bad about Gu Wei?
"Let's go on the Beijing TV Spring Festival Gala. It happens to be on the first night of the New Year, so it won't prevent me from celebrating the New Year at home."
After confirming this matter, I talked with Yang Liwen about the progress of various matters in the company during this period.
The director of "Yu Zui" Zhang Rui has joined the crew to help Zhao Mingcheng prepare for the crew.
Li Xian, Peng Yuchang and Meng Ziyi have also signed contracts successfully.
Zhang Tianai's contract was also transferred, and the company paid hundreds of thousands of yuan in liquidated damages.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
After filming the "kissing scene" that day, Gu Wei discovered that Zhao Liying's attitude towards him had changed slightly.
It seemed that his tone of voice was a little softer, and there seemed to be something in his eyes.
Gu Wei didn't care. It was an idol romance drama, and it wasn't a big deal for the actors to be slowly drawn into the role as the plot developed.
This change is generally positive. After all, the later plot also requires the relationship between the two to be closer.
That night was another 'night scene', filming some scenes that took place at a dance party.
Several actors couldn't dance, and Gu Wei and Zhao Liying had no experience at all.
The crew's dance teacher had to coach them one by one.
Teach them separately first, and then let the two practice together.
Outside the filming location, several actors gathered together, and the dance teacher watched from the side.
Gu Wei and Zhao Liying followed the teacher's instructions, supporting each other with one arm and extending the other arm to the side, holding both hands together.
They faced each other and looked into each other's eyes.
"One, two, three, one, two, three" the dance teacher shouted the rhythm on the side.
Although Gu Wei had never learned to dance before, with his physical coordination, it was still a very easy thing for him to master the essentials.
But it is not easy for Zhao Liying.
"Oh~ Sorry, sorry~"
Zhao Liying smiled and waved to Gu Wei embarrassedly.
This was the fourth time she stepped on Gu Wei's shoes.
"It's okay. You're already better than before. You've been doing it for so long without making any mistakes. Just try it a couple more times and you'll learn it."
Gu Wei encouraged.
Sure enough, after a short while, Zhao Liying became familiar with the dance steps.
The two of them hugged each other and practiced, and the dance teacher gave instructions from time to time.
Gu Wei is 185cm tall and Zhao Liying is 165cm tall. To ensure that the two can see each other, Gu Wei needs to lower his head slightly and Zhao Liying needs to raise her head slightly.
"Liying, come a little closer."
The dance teacher watched the effect and said.
After hearing this, Zhao Liying moved her face a little closer to Gu Wei, with their noses touching, only a few centimeters apart.
Zhao Liying couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster and her face flushed.
At this time, Bai Keli, who played the role of Feng Teng's brother-in-law, stood aside and hummed a song in a funny way.
"Come a little closer and you'll..."
Finally, they both couldn't help but burst out laughing. Gu Wei smiled and reached out to pat Baikeli.
As the relationship between everyone in the crew gets better and better, Bai Keli gradually reveals his funny nature.
Both he and Zhang Yangguo are TV hosts. I wonder if all male hosts have the gene to be funny.
In the crew, when he has free time, he always tells everyone a joke from time to time, or sings a song that suits the scene being filmed, making everyone laugh.
