Chapter 587 You are like the warm sun in winter
Lu Han officially announced their relationship, dominating the hot search headlines for two days.
It is unknown how many young traffic stars are happy, but Wang Feng must be unhappy at this moment.
Because on the day when Lu Han made the official announcement on Weibo, he also posted a long article on his official Weibo to preview his new album. However, because of the incident between Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong, this news naturally fell into oblivion and no one paid attention to it.
This is not the first time that Wang Feng has made headlines.
On the 9th of last month, Wang Feng held a concert, which resulted in a fierce battle among stars for the center position at the Bazaar Charity Night.
Earlier, he announced his divorce from his ex-wife Kang Zuoru. On the same day, the media broke the news that Wang Feng and Zhang Ziyi were traveling together. As a result, Wang Fei and Li Yapeng announced their divorce that day.
Later, he confessed his love to Zhang Ziyi at a concert, and Evergrande won the AFC Champions League.
Release a new album and catch up with the official announcement of Liu Shishi and Wu Qilong.
He was nominated for 7 music awards at the music awards ceremony, but Wen Zhang was reported to have cheated on Yao Di.
It has become a meme now that Wang Feng can’t make the headlines. It seems that whenever he makes a move, bigger news will be reported.
After Lu Han’s official announcement, Gu Wei still called him, said some words of comfort and encouragement, and then asked him and Guan Xiaotong to go out for dinner together.
The filming of "The Story of Minglan" went on in an orderly manner. As time went on, the crew got along better and better, and the actors cooperated more smoothly.
"I won't go. I'll ask Li Xian and Xiao Yang if they have time to be the guest performer.
The important thing for Peng Peng is participation, so Zhang Songwen has a greater chance of winning the championship.
Communicate with Blueberry TV. We won't engage in shady dealings, but we also can't allow others to bully others through shady dealings."
In the crew's hotel room, Gu Wei received a call from Yang Liwen. They chatted for a few minutes, settled the matter, and then hung up.
"Do you want to ask for leave?" Zhao Liying, who was reading a script at the side, asked curiously.
"No, two actors from my company went to participate in a new variety show recorded by Blueberry Channel.
There was a segment that required guest performers, and my agent asked me if I wanted to record an episode.
I wasn’t interested, so I asked other artists in the company to help,” Gu Wei explained.
"What kind of variety show requires supporting performance?"
“It’s called [The Birth of an Actor].
Invite a few recognized and powerful celebrities to be mentors, and then find a group of less famous artists to be contestants.
Everyone competed with each other in acting by recreating classic scenes from film and television dramas on stage.
The contestants will advance through the stages according to the scoring of the mentors and judges, and the champion will be decided in the end.
It’s a bit like the actor version of I Am a Singer, and the competition system is somewhat similar to The Voice of China.”
“It seems that the production team you mentioned sent me an invitation, but my team took a look and directly passed it up.
There's no benefit in accepting it, and there are a lot of disadvantages." Zhao Liying thought about it for a moment and remembered it.
"Of course, you're so famous now, it's a thankless task to take on this kind of variety show.
It’s okay if you perform well, but if you don’t perform well and get eliminated, it will affect your reputation and popularity.
Therefore, the real participants of this program are some second- and third-tier artists who want to gain more exposure through the program.
If you achieve some results or win a championship, it will also bring a lot of traffic."
"Didn't the program crew contact you? Why do you have such a good relationship with Blueberry TV?" Zhao Liying looked at Gu Wei curiously.
"Of course I did. I was promised that as long as I participated, no matter how I performed, I would at least be able to reach the finals," Gu Wei shrugged.
“This is a blatant shady scheme.”
“Since they are envious of my traffic, they naturally have to offer corresponding conditions.
And that’s not all, the production team said that if I didn’t want to be a contestant, I could be a judge.”
"You are too young to be a judge."
"Yes, even though I've won the Magnolia Award for Best Actor, many people will think I'm not qualified to be a judge on a show like this.
There is no benefit either way, so I naturally refused." Gu Wei picked up the orange on the table, peeled it, and naturally divided it into two parts, handing half to Zhao Liying.
“Although I didn’t go, two artists from my company did.
One of them is definitely capable of winning the championship."
"Who are you so confident about?
I know some of the artists in your company. They are all idols. I haven’t heard that any of them has particularly good acting skills.” Zhao Liying took the orange, broke off a segment and put it in her mouth.
"One is Peng Yuchang, who starred in a movie called 'Take My Brother Away' during this summer's box office."
“I know, I’ve seen that movie before.
He's a very young actor, you're definitely not talking about him, right?"
“Pumbaa is just about participating, the other one is the key.
Zhang Songwen, have you heard of it?
He also graduated from the Beijing Film Academy and is considered my senior. His acting skills are absolutely amazing!" Gu Wei gave a thumbs up.
"This name sounds familiar," Zhao Liying thought while eating an orange.
"You should not have worked with him," said Gu Wei.
"I just remembered that the person you mentioned had run a training course in Hengdian.
I've been filming in Hengdian for years, and I remember seeing a small red banner advertising an acting class, and one of the teachers was Zhang Songwen."
Gu Wei smiled.
“It should be him.
After graduating from Beijing Film Academy, he has been playing supporting roles. He has done many other jobs to make money and also worked as a training class teacher for a period of time.
But after signing with my company, I came back to concentrate on filming."
"Is he as powerful as you say?" Zhao Liying looked skeptical.
"[The Birth of an Actor] will be aired at the end of this month, you will know when you watch it." Gu Wei is very confident in Zhang Songwen. The other party became famous too late and has not won any major awards, but based on his acting skills alone, he is definitely a top-tier figure in the domestic entertainment industry.
If you get the right role, it's not difficult to win the Best Actor or Best TV Actor award.
Time always flies when you’re seriously filming. Before I knew it, the filming of “The Story of Minglan” has been going on for over a month.
".I don't want to see you live your life in such an aggrieved state.
I dare not say that everything will be fine if you marry me.
In short, I point my finger at the sky and say: From now on, I am number one among men, and you are number two among women!
As he spoke, Gu Wei, who was dressed in dark brocade clothes and had a slight beard on his face and looked much more mature, folded his hands and bowed slightly.
"I wish to marry you, entrust you with the household chores, raise children, and spend the rest of my life with you!"
"Ka! Liying, calm down and don't be so excited.
At this point in time, you have some feelings for Gu Tingye, but you are still hesitant about whether to marry him or not."
The director's voice came, and this scene had to be retaken.
"Director, let me make some adjustments." Zhao Liying said a little embarrassedly.
"Take a ten-minute break and continue shooting this scene." Director Zhang didn't care too much. Zhao Liying always performed well. There were a lot of NGs in this scene today. He just thought that she was not in good shape.
"You did it on purpose, didn't you? It feels really good to see me confessing to you over and over again." Gu Wei said to Zhao Liying jokingly.
"What nonsense! I just don't understand Minglan's inner feelings at that moment."
"That's strange. Didn't we analyze the scene thoroughly last night?
During this period, Gu Tingye admired Minglan, and Minglan also had a good impression of him, but she didn't like him particularly. She just thought that following him as a marquise would be a good choice in her life.
After all, after the two got married, Minglan still regarded Gu Tingye as the boss and herself as his employee, and managed the family business for him with this mentality.
"But Gu Tingye saved Minglan several times, so she must have feelings for him. A hero saves a beauty, which woman would not be moved?" Zhao Liying argued.
"Because the character of Minglan is a very clear-headed woman, she lives very clearly, knows exactly what she wants, what she can get, and what she can't get.
Just like when the young master fell in love with her at the beginning, Minglan knew that the gap between their status and family was too big and there would be no result, so she kept avoiding and refusing.
The same is true for Gu Tingye. Minglan agreed to marry Gu Tingye not because she liked him so much, but because she knew this was the best outcome.
Of course, deep down, she definitely has feelings for Gu Tingye, but it’s still far from love at this point.”
Gu Wei broke down the character's inner thoughts and told them to Zhao Liying.
"I understand. Let me adjust it." In fact, Zhao Liying also understood the logic behind it. She put more effort into the role than Gu Wei.
However, after filming for more than a month, I spent every day with Gu Wei, shooting during the day and rehearsing at night. We were together almost 24 hours a day except for sleeping.
As the plot progressed during filming, she became a little bit excited, which is commonly known as getting into the role.
Gu Wei's ancient costume at this time is deliberately dressed in a mature manner, and with his super high looks, he is still very charming.
Zhao Liying was naturally a little moved by the proposal.
Fortunately, Zhao Liying was quite professional. After noticing that her performance was inappropriate, she quickly adjusted her state and the shot was quickly passed.
In the evening, Gu Wei and Zhao Liying walked side by side on the tree-lined path outside the crew hotel after dinner.
"Does it feel like when we were filming 'My Sisters Are Coming' together?
The character I played, Xue Shanshan, was a foodie and ate a lot every day during filming. You suggested that I go for a night run after filming, and even though you were afraid I couldn't hold on, you still ran with me.
After finishing the filming, Zhao Liying changed back into her private clothes. She wore a sky blue top, a white short skirt, and a pair of white sneakers. She looked very small and very cute.
"Time flies. It's been four years since the filming of "My Sunshine" was completed," Gu Wei also sighed.
"I had just debuted at that time, and you, Liying, had just become popular because of The Legend of Lu Zhen.
Who would have thought that the round-faced little artist back then would become a household name today?"
Zhao Liying curled her lips.
"Don't judge me. I feel like I've developed very quickly in the past few years, but I can't compare to you. The term 'household name' is more appropriate for you."
“There’s no need to compare as they are in different fields.
It's fine if you compare yourself to other female celebrities your age, but you can't be so competitive as to compete with me, right?"
"Why can't we compare? Who says women are inferior to men?" Zhao Liying said stubbornly.
"Do you think our collaboration this time can be considered a pinnacle meeting? Why does it feel a bit like an inspirational drama?" Gu Wei smiled gently and slowly stepped forward.
"Do you think this is an idol drama?"
"Art originates from life. The inspiration for movies and TV series all comes from everyday life."
"I don't know how Zhang Yangguo and Bai Keli are doing now. I have seldom contacted them in recent years due to my busy work." Zhao Liying's white sneakers stepped on the shadows cast by the street lights through the leaves. Her eyes looked ahead, and her thoughts drifted away.
When filming "My Sunshine", she had a very good relationship with the couple.
"They are both hosts, so their married life should be very happy.
I saw a short video of the two of them on Douyin a while ago, and they looked very affectionate.” Gu Wei said after thinking for a while.
"When do you plan to get married?" When talking about married life, Zhao Liying suddenly turned to look at Gu Wei.
"Why are you asking this? I don't even have a girlfriend."
Before he could finish his words, Gu Wei saw Zhao Liying's look of contempt and smiled awkwardly.
"I have no plans, at least not before I turn 30.
Maybe I’ll change my mind after I turn 30, or maybe not, who knows what will happen in the future.”
Gu Wei's words did not surprise Zhao Liying, and the expression of contempt on her face remained unchanged.
"Sure enough, you're still acting like a playboy. Four years have passed, and your scumbag habits haven't changed at all."
"Hey, Liying, even though we're familiar with each other, I'm still going to sue you for defamation if you say that."
"Slander? Isn't what I said true?"
"Well, forget it, don't talk about me. What are your plans? I haven't seen any scandals about you in the past few years. Do you have any plans to find a boyfriend or get married?" Gu Wei casually changed the subject.
He felt that he and Zhao Liying were very good friends, so he was very curious about what choice she would make in the future.
Although there is no more contact with Feng Shaofeng in "The Story of Minglan", the two still filmed "The Monkey King 3: Kingdom of Women" together. I wonder if they will get together again like in the original time and space.
"Me? Never thought about it." As she said this, she secretly glanced at Gu Wei's face.
"The main reason is that I haven't met someone who makes my heart flutter. I might as well focus on my career."
Her answer surprised Gu Wei a little.
"What do you think of Feng Shaofeng, your co-star in [Kingdom of Women]?"
"Feng Shaofeng?
Why do you ask that? " Zhao Liying saw Gu Wei looking at her with a gossipy look on his face, and she understood.
"Where did you hear this gossip? We are just collaborators, and we have only collaborated on one play.
Besides, he is so much older than me, and he is a playboy like you, how could I fall for him?" Zhao Liying raised her eyebrows and said in a firm tone.
"If I could tolerate a playboy, I would just go with you. Why would I choose Feng Shaofeng, who is so much worse in every way?"
Gu Wei listened to Zhao Liying's answer without thinking too much, and just regarded it as the change brought about by his butterfly. After all, he had a chance to start over, and so many things had changed, so some small things were not worth being surprised about.
After finishing the conversation about love and marriage, the two seemed to have lost interest in talking. They didn't speak again and just walked slowly along the dark tree-lined path.
Hengdian is located in Zhejiang Province, in the south, and the climate is still warm even in the golden autumn of October.
The temperature during the day is usually between 20 and 30 degrees. If the weather is good and there is plenty of sunshine, it can even reach above 30 degrees.
Everyone usually wears summer clothes.
However, it will still be a bit cool when night falls, and the temperature difference between day and night is quite large.
When Gu Wei went out, he was wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt with a thin denim jacket on top.
After they walked for a while, he saw Zhao Liying beside him with her hands clasped together, touching her arms as if she was a little cold, so he shook his head slightly, took off his coat and put it on her.
"Thank you."
Zhao Liying felt the warmth of her coat and turned to look at Gu Wei.
"Why are you being so polite to me?" The warm smile that had not changed for many years appeared before her.
After walking a few more steps, Zhao Liying tightened her clothes. The coat that fit Gu Wei perfectly now covered her butt, like a child wearing adult clothes.
Gu Wei beside him had his hands in his pockets. For his physique, a little chill didn't matter.
"Do you know what your greatest strength is?" Zhao Liying suddenly asked.
"Of course it's the unparalleled beauty and extraordinary talent," Gu Wei answered in a somewhat childish way.
"So conceited." Zhao Liying curled her lips but didn't refute. What Gu Wei said was indeed the truth, but that was not what she wanted to talk about.
"Your strength is your gentle personality, and you always care about the people around you.
Even though he became a big star or a famous director, he never acted superior. He was like the warm sunshine or the gentle breeze in winter, making people feel comfortable and free of pressure.
"Wow, Liying, you are worthy of being my good friend. You discovered another advantage of mine. I will write it down later." Zhao Liying said seriously, but Gu Wei was joking.
"But this is the good side of your character, but for some people it's also a bad side."
"What's wrong with that?" Gu Wei asked curiously.
“Hehe~
Being a warm man is good, but becoming a central air conditioner is not good. After all, you are not the real sun that shines on the earth.
Who would be willing to share what is favored with others? "
After hearing what Zhao Liying said, Gu Wei smiled and didn't respond.
