Chapter 89 Long time no see, Xiao Ai
While Gu Wei was filming on the set, he also did not neglect his work at the company.
Now that the money is in place, some projects can start to slowly get underway.
Zhao Mingcheng called him
"Mr. Gu, the contract with Wu Jing has been signed and the money has been transferred."
"Very good, we don't need to worry about Wolf Warrior anymore, the rest is up to Wu Jing.
The company’s copyright library contains a novel called “The Rise of a Phoenix”, and the company’s next major project is to produce it.
Let’s test the waters with this low-budget web series first, build up some fame, and then move on to other big projects.”
Gu Wei explained.
"Understood, Mr. Gu, I will start preparing the crew now."
"Go find a director named Lu Xiao and ask him to direct this drama. I'll decide the male and female leads, and you can find some cheap newcomers to play the other roles.
By the way, Lu Xiao is easy to find, his father is Hai Yan."
Gu Wei told Zhao Mingcheng everything he needed to say. He believed that he had made himself clear and Zhao Mingcheng could handle the rest of the work.
Lu Xiao is the director of the original "The Rise of Phoenixes". Gu Wei believes that as long as the director and the female lead remain unchanged, this popular online drama in later generations can still capture its original flavor.
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Wei dialed Zhang Tianai's number.
"Hello, Xiao Ai, I'm Gu Wei."
Zhang Tianai on the other end of the phone seemed a little surprised that Gu Wei took the initiative to contact her.
After a pause, he said, "Gu Wei, how are you doing recently? I often see news about you online."
Zhang Tianai said cautiously.
"I'm fine, just a little busy lately.
How is your work going now? Are you busy?" Gu Wei asked gently.
"It's okay. After Blade of the Assassin was released, my popularity faded. Luckily, the company was able to get me some roles. I've been on set playing small supporting roles, which is much better than when I was a model."
Zhang Tianai is quite satisfied with her current work and life. Although she has not become a star, she has finally entered the entertainment industry.
From an unknown little model to a small actor with a lot of roles to play.
"Remember what I told you at the beginning of the year, I would ask you to play the leading female role.
In a while, my company will be producing a play, and you can be my female lead."
"Ah~ me?
Is this true? Are you really going to let me act in this role? " This sudden surprise caught Zhang Tianai off guard.
"Of course, I promised you."
"But, we had already broken up at that time, and I thought you were just comforting me."
"When have I ever lied to you? Since I promised you before, I will definitely do it." Gu Wei said with a smile.
"Gu Wei, thank you so much. I didn't expect that you would still think of me even though we broke up more than half a year ago.
Thank you~
You are a good person~" Zhang Tianai on the other end of the phone seemed to sigh with emotion and gratitude.
"Alright, there's no need to say these things. Although we've separated, given the relationship between us, there's no need to express gratitude. Saying these things would be inappropriate.
I'm currently filming in Hengdian and don't have time to work on this new drama. Someone at the company is preparing it, and someone will contact you in the next few days. Just come over and sign the contract then.
When I finish filming my scenes, I'll go visit you on set."
"Okay, then I won't be polite with you. I will definitely work hard on the filming and will not let you down."
"Okay, Xiao Ai, you are so motivated. You will definitely become famous in the future. I am looking forward to the day when you become a big star."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Tianai held the phone, staring fixedly at the sky, his thoughts drifting to who knows where.
After a while, he seemed to have thought of something and a smile appeared on his face.
The warm morning sunshine shone on her face, making the smile look particularly bright.
The male lead Gu Wei in "The Princess Wei" was played by Li Xian, who is still a completely unknown person. His previous movie "Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" was a flop. Of course, he was originally a supporting role in the movie, so it has little to do with him.
However, among the four people who often played together in school, it seems that only Li Xian is doing the worst now. Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan at least have no shortage of roles to play.
Although Gu Wei knew that the main focus of "The Rise of a Phoenix" was on the female lead, the male lead of the TV series was already a great opportunity for Li Xian, a newcomer.
I called County Magistrate Li and told him about this matter, and he thanked me profusely again.
Gu Wei didn't care. They all had a good relationship, so he just paid him for two meals.
County Magistrate Li promised that he would make arrangements for Gu Wei when he returned to the capital.
The filming of the crew is still going on day by day. As the scenes get deeper, the actors' performances are getting better and better. The accelerated filming progress makes the director very satisfied.
"Sister Mi, get up, we have a scene today."
The early morning sunlight shines through the window onto the bed.
Following Gu Wei's call, Yang Mi turned over impatiently, with half of her body exposed from the quilt, revealing her charming curves.
Gu Wei called again, and she had to open her sleepy eyes. She looked like a cat that had just woken up from a deep sleep.
Looked at Gu Wei who was smiling beside him
"Hate it, Gu Wei, if you do this again, I won't come to see you at night."
There was a fierce expression on his face.
"But Sister Mi, I'm doing this to fulfill your wish. You asked me to do this, so I can't just go back and burn the bridge.
Besides, you enjoyed it at the time.”
Yang Mi blushed after hearing this.
"Anyway~ I don't care. What I said at that time doesn't count. I blame you."
Gu Wei could only spread his hands helplessly
"Woman, you have a nickname called unreasonable, whatever you say is what it is."
The two of them got up, packed up, and prepared to go to the show.
Gu Wei pushed open the door and came out. Reba happened to pass by his door and the two looked at each other.
"Good morning, Reba," Gu Wei greeted with a smile.
"Good morning~"
At this moment, Yang Mi pushed open the door and came out from behind. Reba looked at Yang Mi and then at Gu Wei and stopped.
"Sister Mi, you~" Reba looked incredulous.
"Hey~ Sister Mi, Reba, you guys chat, I'm going to the crew first."
Gu Wei coughed awkwardly and then slipped away.
Reba looked at Yang Mi, "Mijie, you and Gu Wei~you guys?"
"Don't think too much, the toilet in my room is broken, so I'd like to borrow the bathroom in Gu Wei's room.
Stop thinking about random things all day and just focus on filming."
Yang Mi has experienced many ups and downs, and no matter what the situation is, he never panics.
He quickly smoothed over the matter and changed the subject.
"I understand, Sister Mi~" Reba said in a low voice.
Of course she couldn't refute her boss's words, but only she knew what she was thinking.
What happened in the morning was just a small episode. Neither Gu Wei nor Yang Mi took it seriously. They continued to work and act.
Only Reba seemed to be more concerned and would occasionally get distracted during filming, resulting in a lot of NGs.
