Chapter 604: Average Talent but Hardworking
Fan Ming, a national first-class actor and director.
He first filmed "The Story of the Kitchen Team" and became famous for playing the role of "Lao Gao".
Later, he played Constable Xing in the costume sitcom "Wulin Waijia".
His image is more suitable for comedy, his acting skills are first-class, and he is one of the gold medal supporting actors in the domestic film and television industry.
The character he played didn't have a specific name. He was a liar and you could call him Uncle Potato.
Teacher Fan Ming was invited by the crew to make a guest appearance. He didn't have many scenes, only two, but they were both very exciting.
At the beginning of the movie, Gu Xiaojiao, who claims to be 19 but is actually 31, is a girl who is eager to get married and has dreams. In order to buy back the villa that carries the warm memories of her childhood and her father, she is even willing to use her lifelong happiness as a bargaining chip.
Her only requirement for her blind date is that he buy the 20.03 million house.
So, Gu Xiaojiao, who was hoping for a lucky break, met "Uncle Potato" by fate. This fraudulent "fake rich man" said that he rented land to sell potatoes, his wife had passed away, and his children were abroad, so he could buy a house and get married immediately.
However, because the house was pre-marital property, Uncle Potato suggested that he would pay 20 million and Gu Xiaojiao would pay 30,000, so that both of their names could be written on it.
Gu Xiaojiao, who was anxious to buy a house, did not doubt at all and went directly to the ATM to withdraw the only 30,000 yuan on his card. After Uncle Potato got the money, he naturally took the opportunity to slip away, leaving Gu Xiaojiao sitting in front of the ATM and collapsed and called the police.
This is a typical fraud case. Although the routine is simple, there are many such cases in today's society.
In the movie, the scammer came in person to defraud the money, but more scammers can get the victim's money by just making two phone calls.
"Teacher Fan Ming
Please take care of the show later."
After Uncle Potato and Gu Xiaojiao finished filming their scenes, it was Gu Wei's turn.
"I wouldn't say it's caring, but we can work together." Fan Ming responded with a smile.
He was invited to make a guest appearance, and of course he received his usual salary.
This is his first time working with young big-name stars like Gu Wei and Liu Yifei, but it seems that both of them are easy to talk to.
"How about that part I just did?"
At this time, the crew was busy packing up the equipment.
The scene where Gu Xiaojiao is deceived is an off-stage scene with rain in the background.
After finishing the filming, Liu Yifei took a rest on the side while the crew members had to pack up a series of things including the sprinkler truck and faucets.
"You performed very well. It seems that you listened to what I said yesterday."
"Are you serious? I only had three lines just now." Liu Yifei suspected that Gu Wei was just trying to fool her.
"The number of lines is not important; what matters is whether you can accurately grasp the character's personality and whether the emotions are in place.
What kind of person do you think Gu Xiaojiao is?"
Liu Yifei thought about it for a moment.
“.I grew up in a wealthy family and was a little princess. However, my father died in a car accident and our family fell into poverty.
It just so happened that she was still having a quarrel with her father at that time, so this incident became a regret in her life.
The setbacks in her life later on made her miss the happiness and beauty of her childhood even more, so she was determined to get her house back."
"Isn't this a good analysis?" Gu Wei praised.
“Gu Xiaojiao must have a good heart, but she also has the vanity of an ordinary girl.
Because I want to get the house back, and in the eyes of others, I look like a gold digger.
Once you understand the character's inner and outer expressions, it will be much easier to interpret the character later."
To be honest, Liu Yifei's acting talent is average.
Her good looks are both her advantage and her limitation.
When filming roles such as Xiaolongnu, Wang Yuyan, and Zhao Linger, she fits in very well with the characters and can perform very well.
When it comes to characters with rich inner worlds that require actors to portray through their acting skills, she often feels overwhelmed.
However, there is one good thing about Liu Yifei: she is willing to work hard and not give up.
Some stars know that their acting skills are poor, so they just muddle through, doing just enough to be okay, using cutouts and eye drops, as they have earned the money anyway.
Liu Yifei gives her all when filming each scene and tries her best to meet the director's requirements.
For example, when she got up early to shoot The Return of the Condor Heroes, in order to show the coldness of winter, she wore gauze in the sub-zero temperature of Jiuzhaigou and had to soak in the freezing ice water for most of the day. She still insisted on shooting by herself without using a stand-in.
In this respect, it is still quite professional, at least it is much better than cutouts.
Gu Wei and Fan Ming also have a scene.
On the street of Tianqiao, Gu Xiaojiao ran into this "fake rich man" again. The difference was that this time she was protected by her "roommate" Lu Ming.
When a scammer meets a victim, he will inevitably run away.
In response to "Uncle Potato's" frantic escape, Lu Ming, a straight-laced science and engineering student from 1999, brilliantly staged a heroic debt-collecting drama. He chased the scammer with agility and swift steps, nimbly weaving around the corners of the pedestrian overpass. He even bravely told Gu Xiaojiao, "We're sleeping together, I'll protect you!"
Encouraged by this pure sleeping relationship, the two-legged Lu Ming chased the "Potato Uncle" who was running away on a bicycle to a corner of the overpass, and had a wonderful "mixed doubles" with Gu Xiaojiao, successfully getting back the cash that was defrauded, and the two returned triumphantly.
This plot also marks the beginning of Gu Xiaojiao's affection for Lu Ming. Then the two of them went home and ordered takeout hot pot, and Xu Zheng, the veteran noodle chef of "Lao Hai Di", appeared.
I don't know why this scene was deleted from the original version, but that was a matter of post-production editing, and we still have to shoot as normal.
"Oh, you big liar, give me back my money!" Gu Wei pushed Fan Ming into a corner. Liu Yifei, who caught up with him panting, looked at the liar angrily and started beating him up.
"Money!" Gu Wei had already found the money from the liar's coat.
"Let's go and have a drink!" Liu Yifei happily took it and greeted Gu Wei cheerfully.
"Click! Good here, Yifei performed very well, she passed!" Su Lun's voice came from the loudspeaker.
"Teacher Fan Ming, I'm sorry, I didn't hurt you just now, did I?"
After this shot, Liu Yifei hurried back.
"Fortunately, you didn't hold back, otherwise I wouldn't be able to run this distance after being hit by you." Fan Ming said jokingly.
[Time Travel Cohabitation] was filmed in an orderly manner after it started.
The outside world is also paying close attention to the new movie in which Gu Wei and Liu Yifei collaborate again.
After the opening ceremony a few days ago, many media outlets reported the news, and a group photo of Gu Wei, Liu Yifei, and Xu Zheng was also uploaded by the crew to the film's official Weibo account.
Audiences and fans are very much looking forward to this film, which is the third collaboration between Gu Wei and Liu Yifei after "The Sword Identity" and "Detective Chinatown 2".
[That's great! Gu Wei and Liu Yifei finally get to work together again, and this time they're playing a couple. My original wish has come true!]
[In "The Blade of the Assassin," Chen Lian is a dog who can't get the love he wants. In "Detective Chinatown 2," Qin Feng and KIKO are the official couple. I hope Gu Wei and Liu Yifei in "Time Raiders" can have a serious relationship. Isn't it nice to be in a two-way relationship?]
I'd call these two the most beautiful people in the entertainment industry. No need for any extraneous stuff. I'll definitely watch a romantic movie where they just have a good relationship!
The movie was too short. When can they collaborate on a TV series, whether it's a period piece or a modern one, just to have a sweet romance? I'm a face lover, I love watching it!
[I agree, good looks are enough, just looking at the face is very pleasing! ]
【.】
During the break in filming, Liu Yifei sat on a chair and browsed her phone. She was very happy when she saw the comments from netizens.
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations on what?" Gu Wei, who was sitting next to him drinking water, was a little confused.
"Today, the box office of "Ex-Files 3" has exceeded 2 billion. Isn't it worth congratulating?" Liu Yifei looked at Gu Wei beside her with envy.
"Oh, thank you for talking about this!" Gu Wei smiled.
Today is the 15th, and "Ex-Files 3" has been released for 3 weeks and 17 days, and the box office has just exceeded 2 billion.
However, judging from the current trend, it has almost reached its limit, just like Maoyan's prediction of the final box office of around 2.2 billion yuan.
After all, it can only rely on young people, and it cannot be compared with the nationwide hit like "Wolf Warrior 2" that is popular among all age groups and classes.
"You don't look particularly excited?"
Gu Wei was helpless.
"How can I be excited? It's only 2 billion. I initially predicted that the box office would be around this amount. It just met my expectations."
After hearing what Gu Wei said, Liu Yifei stared at him angrily.
"Your words are so infuriating, only 2 billion?
Can you dress up a little more?"
Just as Gu Wei was about to say something, his cell phone rang.
He picked it up, took a look at it, thought for two seconds, and then picked it up.
"Hey, Mr. Wang!
Congratulations, it's all thanks to Director Tian and everyone. I just did what I should do.
No problem, that's as it should be.
Let’s set the time around the 18th, as I happen to be going back to attend the [Weibo Night].
Mr. Wang will also be there, right?
OK, see you then!"
Gu Wei hung up the phone, and Liu Yifei, who had been listening to the whole process, asked tentatively.
"The boss of Huayi Brothers?"
Gu Wei nodded.
"Just like you, congratulations to Ex 3 for breaking 2 billion at the box office, and then schedule a time with me to hold a celebration party.
Are you going back to participate in the Weibo Night in two days?"
Liu Yifei shook her head.
“If we both leave, the production will be shut down.
Besides, I had already calculated the time to join the crew for filming, so I declined the invitation sent on Weibo."
"Tsk
You make me look unprofessional when you say that."
"You're still being ungrateful after getting a bargain.
Otherwise you stay and don’t go back.”
"Well, I've already asked the director for leave. Besides, you just heard it, and I have other things to do when I get back."
After hearing this, Liu Yifei looked at Gu Wei with contempt.
On the morning of the 18th, Gu Wei's plane landed at Beijing International Airport.
I ate something quick at noon to fill my stomach, and then started designing my makeup and styling.
"Boss, the company has almost reached an agreement with the crew of 'Better Days'. They're willing to give up 40% of their investment."
Gu Wei sat down to put on makeup while her agent Yang Dan began to report some work matters.
“Who are the other investors in the film?”
"According to the information provided by the production crew, besides us, the largest investors in Better Days are Goodbaby Productions registered in Hong Kong and Paipai Culture Media in mainland China.
In fact, the major shareholders of these two companies are producer Xu Yuezhen and director Zeng Guoxiang.
Then there are Alibaba Pictures, Maoyan Microfilm, Youku Pictures, Hengdian Film Group, etc., whose investment ratios are very low."
Gu Wei nodded.
"If there are no problems, we can formally sign the contract and communicate the start time."
"Director Zeng originally planned to start filming in the middle of the year, and it just so happened that you and Ms. Jingtian just finished filming the drama Si Teng."
All of Gu Wei's work schedules are arranged by his personal team, and the time aspect is definitely taken into consideration.
"Ask the crew for the second female lead role and give it to Zhou Ye from the company." Gu Weiduo instructed.
