Chapter 446 Yu Tu is not alone
After filming of [You Are My Glory] was wrapped up in Wenchang City, the crew held a wrap-up banquet at a nearby hotel that evening.
From the staff to the actors, everyone was very happy. After working hard for more than two months to finish filming a movie, they felt both relieved after finishing the work and had a sense of accomplishment in completing a work.
At the main table, everyone was toasting each other, and Gu Wei raised a glass of wine to Director Lin Yufen.
"Director Lin, we've just finished working together on another drama. I believe that the performance of 'You Are My Glory' after it goes online will definitely not be worse than the previous 'Love O2O'!"
Lin Yufen also looked happy.
"We are also grateful to Mr. Gu for participating in the show and the strong production team of Weiming Tianxia."
Since cooperating with Gu Wei in the past few years, Lin Yufen has found his work particularly comfortable.
[Wei Ming Tian Xia] The scripts that were chosen for her were all good, Gu Wei was generous with the money, and the filming team had worked with her many times, so everyone was able to use it very smoothly.
All these conditions allow her to perform at her best in a smooth environment and produce high-quality works.
The most important thing is that as long as the male lead is Gu Wei, the TV series will not be bad.
This allowed Lin Yufen to film without any pressure. On the basis of perfectly presenting the plot, he could further experiment with his understanding of art and beauty.
Because of this, the atmosphere of the TV series she filmed is particularly good.
"Director Lin, what are your plans for the next film?"
Gu Wei put down his wine glass and asked again.
Lin Yufen didn't hesitate at all. After several collaborations, she and Gu Wei became friends, and there was nothing to keep secret about her taking on the film.
"Some time ago, someone from Jiangsu Straw Bear Films contacted me and invited me to film a costume idol drama, Lost Love in Times.
I had read the script and thought it was good, and the actors I was going to work with were all familiar to me, so I took it.
Once the post-production of this film is completed, we can prepare the crew to start filming."
"Straw Bear?"
Gu Wei thought about it and felt that the name sounded very familiar.
Director Lin smiled.
"The boss of Straw Bear is Wu Qilong, and the lead actors in the drama they hired me to star in are Liu Shishi and Chen Weiting."
After she said that, Gu Wei also remembered.
When his drama "Nirvana in Fire" was released in the second half of last year, Zhao Liying also had a drama "The Legend of Sword and Fairy: The Shushan War Chronicles" being broadcast at the same time. The producer of that drama was Wu Qilong's "Straw Bear Pictures".
Unfortunately, the broadcast performance of "The Legend of Zu" was not good at that time. Even though Zhao Liying's "The Journey of Flower" was a big hit in the first half of the year and was at its peak, it failed to boost the ratings of the TV series.
Of course, the conflict with the release date of Nirvana in Fire is also one of the reasons why the performance of Sword and Fairy is so poor.
"What a shame! I have a really good script and was planning to ask Director Lin to shoot it."
"What kind?"
Lin Yufen asked curiously.
"Similar to the drama we just finished filming, 'You Are My Glory,' it's also a modern idol drama about gaming."
"Mr. Gu, are you planning to perform in person?"
“I have this idea, but it hasn’t been finalized yet.”
After hearing what Gu Wei said, Lin Yufen was a little hesitant.
She was also very excited to continue working with Gu Wei.
"So when is the new drama going to start filming?"
"After the Chinese New Year, around February or March, I have a movie to shoot at the end of this month, and I have another big project in the second half of next year, so I only have time from February to June in the first half of next year."
Gu Wei had previously heard from Han Jianu and Rao Xiaozhi that "The Wandering Earth" would take about a year to prepare before filming could begin, which would roughly be the second half of next year.
He had already received a commitment from China Film Group Corporation (CFP) Lapekang and considered the project his own.
Of course, the specific amount of investment and how to cooperate will have to wait until he returns to Beijing and has a face-to-face discussion with Guo Fan before they can be decided.
Gu Wei is interested in playing the male lead "Liu Qi" in "The Wandering Earth".
The movie "Wolf Warrior 2" he collaborated with Wu Jing will be released in the summer of next year, and it will definitely trigger a movie-watching craze.
With this foundation, his second collaboration with Wu Jing will definitely attract more audiences' interest, and by then the box office of "The Wandering Earth" may surpass "Wolf Warrior 2" to reach a new height.
As for the problem that the original male protagonist "Liu Qi" had a bad personality, Gu Wei didn't care at all.
He is not Qu Chuxiao. The original "Liu Qi" is not likable. In fact, it is largely related to the actor Qu Chuxiao himself.
His temperament is that of a ruffian and stubborn person, which is not popular with the audience, so the performance has that effect.
Gu Wei's temperament is completely different from his, and his appearance is far superior to his.
Another thing is that Gu Wei is not just an actor. He joined the "The Wandering Earth" project as an investor. If the male protagonist's character is not good in the end, he can ask the screenwriter to change the script.
Anyway, as long as the main storyline remains unchanged, it won't have much impact.
Audiences watch "The Wandering Earth" for the grand hard science fiction scenes and the Chinese people's passionate spirit of saving the world. As long as these two points remain unchanged, there will be no impact on the movie.
After hearing what Gu Wei said, Lin Yufen frowned and sighed.
“It’s impossible. The filming of Lost Love in Times will be around the first half of next year, so the schedule can’t be adjusted.
What a pity.”
Gu Wei smiled and didn't take it seriously. He mentioned this matter to Lin Yufen just to kill two birds with one stone - a side job. If it works out, that would be great. If not, he would just look for another director.
In recent years, Gu Wei has worked with many TV drama directors. Being able to produce a hit TV series is the best proof of his ability.
If Gu Wei were to approach them for a new drama, it would be hard for any director not to be interested.
Everyone was very relaxed at the wrap-up party. Afterwards, everyone was full of food and drink and went back to the hotel to rest.
The night is beautiful tonight. The sky is cloudless. A full moon as big as a silver plate hangs high in the sky. The bright moonlight spreads over the earth like mercury.
In the crew hotel, Gu Wei lives in a suite of the highest standards.
On the round double bed, Reba lay beside Gu Wei, breathing a little rapidly, and was slowly recovering her strength.
She had drunk some wine at the wrap party, but after an hour of physical exercise, she was covered in sweat, and the smell of alcohol had long since evaporated with the sweat.
The moonlight outside the window shone into the room, and Reba's white and smooth back was covered with fine beads of sweat.
Gu Wei moved the hair stuck to her face away with some pity.
"Why are you so stubborn today?
It feels like you’ll never see me again.”
After a while, Reba's breathing gradually became more even. She hugged Gu Wei's waist with both hands and put her face against his.
"I just can't bear to leave. The past two months of filming have been like a dream, and returning to Beijing tomorrow will feel like waking up from that dream.
I really want to stay in this dream forever. I am Qiao Jingjing and you are Yu Tu."
Reba was so immersed in the role that on the first day of filming "You Are My Glory", she unconsciously put herself into the character of "Qiao Jingjing".
She felt that this character was actually very similar to herself in real life. She had admired her idol since she was a child, confessed her feelings to him but was rejected. Then they met again after a while and true love began.
Unfortunately, she is only Gu Wei's "Qiao Jingjing", but Gu Wei can never be her "Yu Tu".
Only when she was filming the drama "Glory" did she feel that Gu Wei belonged only to her.
Gu Wei gently stroked Reba's hair. How could he not understand what she meant?
He turned around and pressed Reba under him again.
Their eyes met, their noses touching.
Gu Wei lowered his head and kissed her lips lightly like a dragonfly touching the water.
"As long as you need me, I can always be your 'Yu Tu'. From today until the day you want to leave me, this promise will always be valid."
"I won't leave unless you don't want me"
Reba looked at Gu Wei's face and spoke in a small but firm voice.
Gu Wei looked at her beautiful eyes like autumn water, lowered his head and kissed her passionately.
Reba also closed her eyes and immersed herself in it again.
The night was as cool as water, and the only sounds in the quiet surroundings were their breathing and heartbeats.
Under the gentle moonlight, the two silhouettes merged into one, peaceful and sweet.
