Chapter 83 How Can He Compare to Me?
The next day, the crew.
Gu Wei had just finished putting on makeup and came out of the dressing room when he saw Reba who had also put on makeup.
"Reba, good morning."
"Good morning, Gu Wei."
Today is Reba’s first day of filming, and you can see that she is in a good mood.
Reba’s makeup is still the classic look of Junior Sister Fuqiu in the final makeup photo.
The thick bangs cover the smooth and beautiful forehead, making the already three-dimensional facial features appear even more prominent.
Especially the high nose bridge becomes the visual center of the face.
The whole look makes Reba's originally exotic appearance look like a plastic surgery face.
Since they were not familiar with each other before, Gu Wei didn’t feel comfortable mentioning it.
"Reba, do you think the 'lotus' hairstyle the makeup artist gave you is pretty?"
Reba was a little confused.
"I think it's okay." Although she also thought it was not very good, she was just a minor supporting role and could not make any demands.
"Well, come with me and I'll have them revise it for you."
After saying that, he grabbed Reba’s arm and walked towards the dressing room.
"Ah~ This isn't good."
"It's okay, just listen to me."
In the dressing room, Gu Wei asked Reba to sit down and then called his makeup artist.
Tell her to part Reba's bangs to the sides, reveal part of her forehead, apply lipstick wider on her lips, and make her makeup more delicate.
The makeup artist was in a bit of a dilemma, as changing the actor's makeup was not something she, a small makeup artist, could decide.
"It's okay, just do it according to my instructions. I'll talk to the director."
The main personnel in the crew knew that Gu Wei was an investor besides being an actor. Seeing that Gu Wei insisted, the makeup artist had no choice but to follow his request.
Changing makeup is not difficult. In the hands of professionals, it only takes a few seconds and Reba looks like a different person.
From a "fake-faced" junior sister to a cute, bright and beautiful lady.
'If the eldest brother refuses again, the audience will call him blind,' Gu Wei thought maliciously.
Reba was very surprised when she saw the changes in herself in the mirror. Which girl doesn’t want to be as beautiful as a fairy?
She smiled happily, then frowned as she thought of something.
"Gu Wei, I hope the director won't scold me if he sees my makeup changed like this."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
I comforted Reba and asked her not to leave yet.
Then he asked his assistant to find Producer Zhong.
Gu Wei is not a fool. What he did did undermine the director's authority in the crew.
Most importantly, he didn't tell the director about this in advance.
Asking Producer Zhong to ease the situation is a good solution to avoid direct conflict. I believe the director can also understand what he means.
Zhong Junyan came to the dressing room and Gu Wei told her what happened.
She first looked at Reba's makeup after the change, and then said to Gu Wei
"Gu Wei, you're causing me trouble as soon as you turn on the phone.
Since the changes are really good, I'll go and help you talk about it."
"Excuse me, Sister Zhong. Reba and I are friends. I just hope that she can show her more beautiful side in the drama."
Gu Wei said to Producer Zhong with a smile
"I have great respect for Director Liang. I'll trouble you, Sister Zhong, with this matter."
"You~"
Zhong Junyan said nothing more and turned to leave.
"Gu Wei, is it really okay?" Reba was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Gu Wei said confidently, patting his chest.
After a while, it was Reba's turn.
Her new makeup obviously surprised some people. The director watched from behind the monitor and said nothing, as if this had never happened.
The filming was carried out step by step.
Yang Mi, who was standing in the audience, was very surprised to see Reba filming.
"Why did this girl's makeup change?"
Gu Wei, who was also sitting and watching the show, said
"I modified it. How is it? Isn't it beautiful?"
Yang Mi was even more surprised after hearing this.
"I didn't realize you had this level of skill. Your aesthetic taste is pretty good."
Gu Wei seemed somewhat pleased with himself.
"After all, I've been a director. The most basic skill is to have eyes that can discover beauty."
Yang Mi turned and looked at him
"Then Director Gu should also notice my beauty."
"Miss Mi, you are already beautiful enough. I can only make you more beautiful. Reba, for example, is like a timely helper."
"You're such a smooth talker! I have to keep an eye on Reba to prevent her from running away with you."
"Sister Mi, you are wrongly accusing me."
“.”
The crew is a small society, and secrets cannot be hidden between dozens or hundreds of people.
The news that Gu Wei had transformed Reba's look quickly spread among everyone.
Everyone is saying that Reba is not only Yang Mi's person, but also under the protection of the male lead.
The director didn’t dare to say anything about the transformation of her character given by the male lead.
From that day on, Reba suddenly found that the crew members around her were much more enthusiastic towards her. Whether it was the makeup artist or the production manager, they all called her "Teacher Reba".
The actors she worked with also treated her more gently than before.
She heard the rumors among the crew and understood what was going on. She looked at Gu Wei with an even more complicated look.
Gu Wei knew how everyone in the crew was spreading this news.
But he didn't care. He just worked harder during filming, followed the director's instructions, and never made trouble.
Director Liang could also feel his attitude, so he didn't react much to the rumors in the crew.
The filming of "Gu Jian" gradually went smoothly as the crew got used to each other and the actors got into the role.
The cooperation between Yang Mi and Gu Wei is becoming smoother and smoother.
As the two became more familiar with each other, Gu Wei would deliberately bring Yang Mi along during filming, using his own techniques to arouse her emotions and make the two of them look more harmonious in front of the camera.
Some actors have very good acting skills, but when performing with him, those actors with poor acting skills will be particularly obvious and overshadowed, causing the shots to appear fragmented.
Some actors, on the other hand, are not only good at acting themselves, but can also match well with anyone they are acting with, and the overall feeling is particularly great.
It mainly depends on whether the one with good acting skills is willing to take you. Generally, it doesn’t matter. They just focus on acting their own roles. Why should they lend a hand to support you?
Gu Wei took Yang Mi to perform, and she could naturally feel it, so she became more attentive to Gu Wei both on and off the stage.
Although the two leading actors filmed well, the crew was not at peace.
Less than a month after the filming of the TV series started, one of the main characters, Ouyang Shaogong, was replaced.
Originally, this role was set to be played by Jia Nailiang, and the makeup photos had been sent out.
In addition to being an actor, Jia Nailiang is also one of the producers of the crew.
Perhaps because of this dual identity, he began to be very arrogant in the crew and had many conflicts with the crew because of the script.
Ouyang Shaogong is a ruthless villain in the drama, and there is a huge contrast between his performance before and after the film. Jia Nailiang has long been dissatisfied with the fact that Ouyang Shaogong has too few roles.
Perhaps the rumors about Gu Wei circulating in the crew gave him confidence, thinking that if Gu Wei could make the director surrender, why couldn't he?
So he deliberately set up a scheme to bribe the screenwriter, hoping that the crew would give him more scenes.
In the end, neither the screenwriter nor the director agreed, and the two sides reached a stalemate.
Not long after, Jia Nailiang left the group, Ouyang Shaogong was replaced by Qiao Zhenyu, and Jia's position as producer was also gone.
This drama ended with Jia Nailiang's sad exit.
Gu Wei and Yang Mi were watching the fun from the side.
"Hey, it seems that Jia Nailiang still doesn't have your strength. He thinks he's very important, but he got kicked out after a fight with the crew."
Gu Wei said aggrievedly
"Sister Mi, how can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air? I'm such an obedient actor, and you compare me with him?"
Yang Mi looked at his face
"You can't compare yourself to him. You're much thicker-skinned than him!"
