Chapter 215 Scandal
The next few days, the filming went smoothly.
Although Gu Wei still performed well, he gradually realized the difficulty of performing without props as Bai Baihe mentioned.
"What is this?"
Gu Wei asked as he looked at the green baby-sized rag doll in his hand.
"'Hu Ba', the child you gave birth to is the protagonist of our movie, the little demon king 'Hu Ba'."
Bai Baili said as a matter of course.
Gu Wei picked up the ball of cloth in his hand and looked at it. Calling it a rag doll was a compliment. It was exactly the shape of an oval egg, and was wrapped in a whole piece of green cloth.
"Haha, this little thing looks quite unique!"
Gu Wei grinned and said.
I guess the audience who watched the movie later would never have thought that the extremely cute protagonist "Hu Ba" they saw in the movie looked like this during filming.
Gu Wei and Bai Baihe also have to show the expressions required in the plot towards this green thing.
There are also some other monsters that appear in the plot. When interacting with them, it is either air or an actor whose entire body, including the head, is wrapped in a green coat.
Every day when filming, the only thing we see is green.
This made Gu Wei feel a little uncomfortable when he saw the green leafy vegetables in his lunch box every day at noon.
If you watch the filming process of a movie with a lot of special effects, it is quite eye-catching.
It feels like most of the time, the actor is just there talking to himself.
Fortunately, this was Bai Baihe's second time shooting the film, so she quickly got into the groove and performed well throughout.
Gu Wei's performance was also very good because he had a lot of tricks and references, and his acting skills were also good.
In this situation, the happiest person is the director. He has to praise them every day during filming. After a long time, both Gu Wei and others feel a little embarrassed.
Zeng Zhiwei and Wu Junru came to shoot for two days and then left. This was all the scenes they needed to make up.
During the filming, Gu Wei had no choice but to take two leaves, each lasting half a day.
The director was somewhat unhappy because this was a reshoot, and unlike other normal crews, the male lead could take a leave and still shoot the female lead's scenes. Now that Gu Wei was gone, the crew had to shut down, and they couldn't do without him.
But there was no other way, Gu Wei had to go to the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal. Considering that Gu Wei was indeed excellent in filming, the director reluctantly agreed to his leave, just as a holiday for the entire crew, and everyone took advantage of Gu Wei's glory to take a break.
In this way, time slowly came to the end of January.
While Gu Wei was still quietly filming on the set, a big scandal broke out in the entertainment industry.
Chen He, the artist who became popular because of "Running Man" in the second half of last year, was exposed to have an affair with Zhang Zixuan.
The matter was actually very simple. Chen He was photographed by a media outlet kissing Zhang Zixuan and spending two days together in an apartment, causing an uproar in public opinion.
You should know that Chen He has a girlfriend, Xu Jing, with whom he has been in love for 13 years. The two got married in 2013. Their love and marriage have always been a topic of discussion among audiences and fans. Now that Chen He has been caught cheating on his wife, his image has collapsed and everyone is condemning him.
After the news broke, Chen He also made an emergency public relations move, showing his divorce agreement with Xu Jing and stating that they had agreed to divorce half a year ago and there was no issue of extramarital affair.
However, netizens did not buy it, because even if Chen He had divorced Xu Jing half a year ago as he said, before the incident, the two had been appearing on variety shows and attending events as a loving couple, which was a blatant deception to the audience.
Moreover, the actress Zhang Zixuan who had an affair with him has not divorced and is still married.
Zhang Zi claimed that her husband is now detained for assaulting someone and the two cannot go through the divorce procedures.
In short, no matter what, Chen He was stunned by this solid revelation. The overwhelming criticism on the Internet was no less than when Wen Zhang was exposed for cheating last year.
Gu Wei was lying on the sofa, browsing the news on his phone. When they were filming "Detective Chinatown", Chen He and he had a good relationship, but they had not had any work interactions in the past two years, and their relationship gradually faded.
In Gu Wei's eyes, Chen He is really not a scumbag. He and his ex-wife were in love for 13 years and married for 2 years. After being together with Zhang Zixuan, they were married for 7 years and had two children. They had two relationships in 20 years and there were no other scandals.
The entertainment industry is full of people who are worse at dealing with women than him and who play around with women more than him. Not counting those who cheat on their girlfriends, even after getting married, they still have affairs outside, and it’s not uncommon for couples to have affairs with other women.
All I can say is that Chen He was unlucky and was caught.
Another reason is that netizens believe that he abandoned his wife for his new love after he became famous, which is why there is such a big controversy.
But Xu Jing never said a bad word about Chen He from beginning to end. Regardless of whether it was because Chen He had paid the money, the two of them were able to part ways amicably in the end.
Unfortunately, netizens don’t see it that way. Everyone only believes what they want to believe.
Although Chen He is very popular now, he does not have any real strong enough ability to suppress the matter.
It is in an awkward stage where it has popularity but no works.
If this matter were put in front of a truly powerful figure in the entertainment industry, he might just say, "There are only men in our family, so we won't suffer any loss."
Or like some directors, they simply don't respond, and wait for the movie to be released after a while. The audience will go to watch it if they want, and it won't affect them at all.
At most, when a new movie is released, the reporter interviewed the male lead and asked him if he had taken reference from people around him, such as Director Chen, when playing the scumbag.
Everyone laughed and it didn't affect the director at all.
Zeng Li walked over with a plate of washed blueberries.
She was wearing a dark blue pajamas, with her long wavy hair loose. She must have washed up, because her skin after removing her makeup was white and transparent, without a single blemish. Her figure was graceful and well-proportioned, and she looked very attractive.
This afternoon was the last rehearsal before the official Spring Festival Gala. Gu Wei asked for leave from the crew and came to Zeng Li after the rehearsal.
We are in Beijing anyway, so we can still go back to the crew early tomorrow morning.
"What are you looking at?"
Zeng Li sat next to Gu Wei, picked up a blueberry and gently put it into his mouth.
"Well, the hottest news online recently is the Chen He incident."
Gu Wei said casually.
After eating the blueberries, he looked at Zeng Li, who was sitting over with graceful curves, swallowed his saliva, straightened his body, and then hugged Zeng Li in his arms.
He gently sniffed the fresh scent of shampoo emanating from Zeng Li's hair from behind, then went around her ear and gave her a kiss on her fair cheek.
"Stop it, I'm holding some fruit, don't spill it~"
After saying that, he put the fruit plate on the coffee table in front and said while looking at Gu Wei's phone.
"I didn't expect Chen He to be such a person when we were filming before~"
Gu Wei listened and laughed.
"Sister Li, this isn't an emotional issue, it's an economic one."
"How do you say that?"
Zeng Li asked suspiciously.
"Did you see which media outlet leaked Chen He's video online?"
"I didn't notice that."
"It's Fengxing Studio, their boss is Zhuo Wei."
Zeng Li suddenly realized.
"So it was him."
During this period, Zhuo Wei was very famous in the entertainment industry. He first took photos of Liu Xiaoqing being released from prison, and later took photos of Dong Jie and Wang Dazhi kissing passionately, photos of Wen Zhang cheating on Yao Di, and even the video that proved Chen He's cheating.
He is known as the number one paparazzi in the country and is hated by everyone in the entertainment industry.
"Let's not talk about who was right or wrong in Chen He's relationship, but judging from his ex-wife's current attitude, at least they had reached an agreement and parted ways amicably.
This video of him and Zhang Zixuan was filmed by Fengxing Studio a long time ago, but when they were asking Chen He for money, the two sides couldn't agree on the price, which eventually led to this situation.
Chen He probably thought he'd been divorced a long time ago and was taking chances, but he didn't expect the matter to get so big."
Gu Wei explained.
"Oh, I see."
Zeng Li suddenly realized that she was not very famous before and had no worries about being secretly photographed by paparazzi. She was not very clear about the twists and turns between paparazzi and celebrities.
The entertainment industry is actually a besieged city. People inside the city want to get out, and people outside the city want to get in.
The most popular celebrities hate paparazzi and hope they stay as far away from them as possible, especially when it comes to their private lives.
Some unknown artists and minor actors hope to get more attention. Even if it's something shameful, if it can be exposed by reporters and stir up a wave of attention, it will be good for their careers.
Just like now, if an unknown female artist is photographed with Gu Wei and there is solid news about her, then she will become famous overnight and known to everyone.
Even if there is no solid evidence, any rumor posted online can gain you a wave of fans and increase your attention.
Of course, the number of fans who gain followers may also be black fans.
"With all these past experiences, you should be careful in the future and avoid being photographed by paparazzi."
Zeng Li looked at Gu Wei, his eyes moving, and said.
Looking at Zeng Li's seductive appearance, Gu Wei leaned forward and pushed her down on the sofa.
"What am I afraid of? Although I am a popular star now, I am also a director and the owner of a film and television company.
After all, the entertainment industry is a place that values strength and background.
Not to mention that the paparazzi can’t capture anything, even if they do have something in their hands, I wouldn’t care.”
As he said that he leaned in and kissed her.
Although Gu Wei usually protects his private life very well, as he told Zeng Li, he is really not afraid of paparazzi taking pictures of anything.
He is not married and doesn't even have a formal girlfriend. Even if paparazzi catch him being intimate with a female celebrity, the worst that can happen is that a scandal will circulate for a while.
Besides, his company is no pushover. After operating for several years, it has a certain network of contacts in the film and television circles, and even in TV stations.
We also have our own partners in the news media.
Even if there is any news that is unfavorable to him, he has a way to suppress it.
Ultimately, this world is about interests.
