Chapter 188 Working Hard
"Actually, there's no need to push yourself so hard; taking a proper break might be more beneficial to your work.
And you must take care of your body.”
Gu Wei thought of the rumors that Zhao Liying was injured while filming in the original time and space, and out of friendship he couldn't help but give her some advice.
"I know, but unlike you, I came from a relatively humble background. Now that I've finally become famous, I naturally want to seize this hard-earned opportunity.
Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
Zhao Liying looked at Gu Wei with a smile on her face, and her expression regained its energetic look.
When she saw Gu Wei again, she felt a little complicated.
After the filming of [My Sunshine] was finished, she would occasionally think of Gu Wei, and sometimes they would chat on WeChat.
But Zhao Liying is not a person who is sentimental after all. She is a pure career-oriented woman at heart.
Her humble background, a heart that was determined to climb up, and a character as tenacious and unyielding as weeds made her devote all her experience to filming.
"By the way, the director of the TV series I recently finished filming mentioned you."
"What's the name of the TV series?"
"The Journey of Flower was directed by Liang Shengquan, the director of your previous film Swords of Legends.
It’s also a fairy tale drama.”
Gu Wei suddenly realized that the performance of this drama was not inferior to that of "Gu Jian", and it could be regarded as a solid step for Zhao Liying to ascend to fame.
"Director Liang is very talented at filming Xianxia dramas. Your TV series has a high chance of becoming a big hit."
After chatting for a while, Zhao Liying put on an eye mask and took a nap. Gu Wei flipped through a magazine out of boredom and found that the air conditioner was blowing quite cold, so he helped her cover herself with the blanket a little higher.
It was late at night when the plane landed in Shenzhen, and the two checked into the hotel to rest.
The next morning, I rushed to the Shenzhen City TV building to record the program.
Today's program is an interview program "Very Close Distance". The host Li Jing is a veteran host. She used to co-host "Super Interview" with Dai Jun, which is also a celebrity interview program.
Gu Wei has watched several episodes of "Very Close Distance" and feels that her hosting skills and style are better than Lu Yu's. At least when asking questions and chatting, she can take into account the guests' state and emotions. She is not the kind of host who asks everything for the sake of ratings.
"Welcome Gu Wei and Zhao Liying to our show!"
Gu Wei and Zhao Liying walked to the front of the stage side by side and sat on the sofa opposite the host.
The audience burst into applause.
"We've been wanting to invite you two to our show for a long time, especially Gu Wei. You seem to rarely appear on variety shows."
"Indeed, it's mainly because there are no suitable opportunities, and I'm usually quite busy with work."
"As a celebrity, appearing on variety shows is a good way to increase your exposure. You don't seem very keen on it?"
"I think the most important thing for an actor is to produce good works. Everything else is secondary."
After asking Gu Wei a few questions, Li Jing turned the topic to Zhao Liying.
"Liying, do you still remember the first time you met Gu Wei? What was your first impression of him?"
Zhao Liying smiled and glanced at Gu Wei beside her.
"The first time was on the set of 'My Sunshine'. I met him at the crew's opening ceremony. I just thought he was so tall and handsome. Because his movie was a hit at the time, I felt a sense of distance from him and wondered if he was aloof."
"So what then? Who of you spoke to the other first?"
"He told me first. After the opening ceremony, he came to talk to me and introduced himself. I then discovered that he was a very easygoing person."
"What about Gu Wei? What was your impression of Li Ying when you first met her?"
"We didn't know each other before filming. When we first met, I thought she would be a cute and lively girl based on her appearance."
"What happens after we get to know each other?"
"After getting to know her, I realized what I thought was exactly right. Liying was very lively on the set, spoke directly, and had a very good personality."
The interview went very smoothly. Li Jing was very good at finding the right tone for the questions, and Gu Wei and the other person spoke freely. While chatting normally, they occasionally revealed some of each other's embarrassing moments on the set.
"When we were filming, it happened to be New Year's Day, so the crew was very considerate and filmed for half a day, so that everyone could have time to celebrate the holiday with family and friends.
When the shooting ended at noon, we were both very happy. We said goodbye to each other and left, as if we had an appointment in the afternoon.
The embarrassing thing was that when it was almost time for dinner, we both came out of the room and said hello, only to find out that we both spent New Year's Day alone.
Later I suggested that we just have a big meal together to celebrate the festival.”
Gu Wei told about the first time he had dinner and drinks with Zhao Liying.
"It started out as a matter of face, but after being exposed, the two of them just decided to just get along and celebrate the holiday, right?"
Li Jing asked with some amusement.
Zhao Liying smiled embarrassedly and did not refute anything. Gu Wei was right. She was going through a change in her relationship at that time. After having a meal together, her relationship with Gu Wei became closer and closer.
"It happened to be New Year's Day, and he ordered a table full of delicious food. I usually eat a lot when filming, but he even advised me to eat more during holidays."
"And what happened next?"
Gu Wei took over and said with a smile.
"Later, we ate the entire table of food. Liying ate so much that she had trouble walking."
Hearing this, the host and the audience laughed, and Zhao Liying patted his shoulder embarrassedly.
The program was recorded for more than 2 hours and ended in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.
After saying goodbye to Li Jing, Gu Wei and Zhao Liying also left Shenzhen TV.
"Want to have dinner together?"
"Forget it, the TV series is about to start airing, and I guess we'll have to promote it together. Let's make an appointment then.
I plan to listen to you and go back to have a good rest, as I have other work to do tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll be leaving first, Liying~"
After waving to Zhao Liying, Gu Wei turned around and got on his nanny car.
Watching Gu Weiyuan's receding figure, Zhao Liying's heart was filled with all kinds of emotions. The entertainment industry is not small, and two people who have no work overlap may not see each other for several years.
It’s not a big deal, because of the reunion due to work, and the interview on the show, it will bring her back to the unforgettable days on the crew a year ago.
"Sister Liying, shall we go back to the hotel and rest?"
The assistant asked quietly from behind.
"Why rest? Didn't Sister Song (Zhao Liying's agent) say she still has activities to do? She has to go back to the crew after everything. Why rest at such a young age? Work is the most important thing!"
Zhao Liying, whose thoughts were interrupted, turned around and said something expressionlessly, then raised her legs and walked towards the nanny car.
“But you said you wanted to rest.”
The young assistant muttered in a low voice, feeling a little aggrieved.
