Chapter 70 Reversal
The filming of the movie went more and more smoothly. After Zeng Li left, Gu Wei also devoted himself to the filming.
Originally, the crew was far away in Bangkok, Thailand, away from the hustle and bustle of the entertainment industry, but a piece of news that broke out that day caused quite a stir in the originally peaceful crew.
On March 14, Zhuo Wei, known as the number one paparazzi in the entertainment industry, released a video of Dong Bailian and Wang Dazhi kissing passionately in Hainan.
This solid revelation led to a reversal of the overall public opinion surrounding Pan and Mr. Pan’s divorce.
Originally, when the two had a relationship crisis in 2012, Dong Bailian's studio took the initiative to deal with the situation, revealing on the Internet that Pan Yueming was addicted to gambling, in debt, and rude.
In the eyes of the public, women are a vulnerable group, and Dong Bailian has always been seen as pure and delicate by the public.
So, under the guidance of some people with ulterior motives, some netizens who did not know the truth began a six-month-long cyberbullying campaign against Pan Yueming.
This caused his career to stagnate for a time. If Gu Wei had not asked him to film a movie, Pan Yueming would not even have a job now.
Although his friends all knew what kind of person he was, and his agent Chen Zhixi even posted on Weibo to support him, his words were powerless.
After Dong Studio issued a condemnation Weibo.
At the same time, Wang Dazhi also posted on Weibo to support Dong Bailian, claiming that the people of Shaanxi Province support you as a friend and fellow villager.
However, the next day, Wang Dazhi was photographed traveling with Dong, and someone broke the news online that it was Wang Dazhi who Dong had an affair with.
Later, both of them denied the relationship and said they were just friends.
Half a year later, Zhuo Wei's video proved everything.
It also cleared Pan Yueming of all the grievances. Soon the verdict of Pan Yueming's lawsuit against agent Dong for false accusation came down, and the court ruled in favor of Pan Yueming.
As a result, Dong Bailian became the target of public criticism online.
Cheating on others, framing good people, and turning the tables.
The most important thing is that Wang Dazhi got married as early as 2010. His wife is Dai Lu, a married man.
She is still the third party.
Although he had been cleared of the unjust accusation, Pan Yueming's mood was not much better.
He was silent throughout the filming, with no expression on his face.
No one in the crew went to comfort him, but everyone looked at him with more pity.
No matter who wins or loses in this kind of situation, both sides suffer losses. A family is broken up, the careers of both people are affected, and they also have a child together.
The scene filmed today is about Qin Feng, played by Gu Wei, going to the house of the little girl Sinuo to investigate. When he leaves, he happens to meet Sinuo's adoptive father Li coming back from outside.
The two men met each other, and Qin Feng was so overwhelmed by Li's cold aura that he broke out in a cold sweat and fled in a hurry.
'Qin Feng' walked out of the door and got into the elevator as if escaping. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the elevator door was about to close when a pair of large hands came in and blocked the elevator door.
Li walked in expressionlessly, stood next to Qin Feng, and said, "I'll take you there!"
It was a long elevator ride with Li standing beside him and Qin Feng not daring to turn his head. When they finally reached the first floor, he turned around, smiled awkwardly, and left quickly.
'Li' had a blank expression on his face the entire time, and only after 'Qin Feng' left did his eyes fluctuate slightly. He could see that 'Qin Feng' was suspicious of him.
"Cut!" Director Huang shouted.
Gu Wei hurried behind the monitor and replayed the previous footage.
"Teacher Pan, this performance was very good, I passed it in one take.
Attention all departments, please work hard to secure one more." Gu Wei reviewed the footage from behind the monitor, then spoke to Pan Yueming through a loud speaker.
After hearing what Gu Wei said, Pan Yueming smiled slightly, said nothing and prepared to shoot again.
Pan Yueming is a star who debuted as an idol handsome boy, and now he plays this kind of perverted murderer without any sense of incongruity.
In the early days, Pan Yueming played weak male protagonists like Xu Xian in film and television. When he was young, his image was particularly suitable for this type of pale-faced scholar role.
She is still young, and with a little makeup, she can play the role of a cold, cruel and perverted villain, and her temperament is surprisingly suitable.
There is no trace of his former sunny and handsome appearance.
Perhaps it was the hardships he experienced in life that gave him more experience, or perhaps it was his excessively good looks when he was young that made the audience ignore his acting skills.
After all the scenes for today were filmed, Gu Wei walked over to Pan Yueming.
"Teacher Pan, are you free tonight? Let's have dinner and drinks together."
Pan Yueming was a little surprised, but then he realized that he did not refuse Gu Wei's kindness.
"Okay, Director, I don't have anything to do tonight. I'll take your advice."
Gu Wei's face was full of smiles
"I'll call Baoqiang, Xiao Yang, and Chen He, and we'll find a local restaurant for a drink."
Director Gu Wei invited them to dinner, and Bao Qiang and the other two had no reason to refuse.
In the evening, Gu Wei and his group of five came to a pub run by locals in Chinatown.
A few people found a small private room with a window on one side, which opened to the streets of Bangkok.
As it got dark outside, neon lights began to flash on the streets of Bangkok, with pedestrians and vehicles coming and going. There were also some local Bangkok tricycles that were specially used to carry passengers. Although simple, they were decorated in pink and green.
At night, the colorful lights on the bus will light up, music will play, and the bus will carry passengers back and forth on the street, creating a beautiful scenery.
A few people entered the box and did not turn on the air conditioner, but just opened the window. They could eat and drink while looking at the street view of Bangkok at night, which was also a kind of enjoyment.
We ordered a table full of local Thai specialties and some barbecue, and asked for two boxes of local Thai Panther King beer.
In the hot season, it is such a pleasant thing to eat barbecue on the street with 3 or 5 friends at night, drink beer, chat, brag, feel the cool breeze, and watch the night view.
The film has been shot for more than a month. Since Gu Wei and Wang Baoqiang are both the protagonists and have many scenes together, they have become more familiar with each other.
In addition to filming together, Xiao Yang and Chen He often hang out together after work, so they have a better relationship.
There is only Pan Yueming, who has few roles and joined the crew late. He doesn't interact with others except for work, so he looks a little lonely.
Everyone knew the reason why Gu Wei asked everyone to come out. After all, the news that just came out was now on the hot search.
Everyone here is a smart person and has excellent social skills.
Even though Baoqiang looks simple and honest, and you think he is a "silly idiot", he is actually much better than the average person in terms of social skills, and there is absolutely no fault in what he says or does.
No one mentioned Pan Yueming at all, and just advised him to drink more. When filming, especially when filming abroad, he should treat it as a trip, and having fun is the most important thing.
"Teacher Pan, after we finish filming the movie, what are your plans for the next step?"
Gu Wei raised his glass and drank with everyone, then put it down and asked Pan Yueming.
Pan Yueming smiled bitterly
"Director Gu, look at my current situation and no one wants me to film.
Let's wait and see when Zhixi will find me for a role."
After saying that, he took another sip of wine.
Xiao Yang interrupted.
"When you reach the mountain, there will always be a way out. Teacher Pan, now is better than before. With your character and acting skills, you will still have plenty of opportunities to work in the future. Don't be too pessimistic."
"Yes, yes, we can all see that Teacher Pan's acting skills are excellent." Chen He also agreed.
"Thank you guys for your kind words. I hope things will turn out just like you said."
As he spoke, Pan Yueming raised his glass and drank a glass of wine.
