Chapter 776 Sister Lang
After the broadcast of "Joy of Life" that day, #Fan Xian drinks and writes hundreds of poems# immediately became one of the top three trending searches of the day.
There are also many entries related to the content of these two episodes on the hot searches, but they are not ranked that high.
In the past half month or so, "Joy of Life" has been extremely popular.
Although due to the overall environment, it is not convenient for everyone to gather together and there are not many offline face-to-face chats to discuss the plot, the amount of discussion about "Joy of Life" on the Internet has exploded.
Every day after two episodes are broadcast, new entries related to the TV series will become hot searches.
The amount of discussion among netizens under various hot search terms is quite high.
Short video apps such as Kuaishou and Douyin produce a huge number of videos related to TV series every day, and the number of likes and comments is also very large.
The rhythm of "Joy of Life" is very tight, and there is almost no useless plot.
There are two small highlights in one episode and one big highlight in two episodes. As the protagonist, Fan Xian will never suffer any loss, and even if he suffers a small setback occasionally, he will quickly retaliate.
While the plot is exciting, it is not the kind of illogical and mindless excitement. All the plots and character settings are reasonable and logical.
This kind of logical and intelligent plot makes the audience who follow the drama unable to extricate themselves.
There are 24 hours in a day. I enjoy myself for an hour and a half, and the rest of the time is spent in agonizing waiting.
The scene where "Fan Xian recites poems while drunk" is considered a climax of the whole drama.
In the imperial palace, in front of Emperor Qing and all the civil and military officials, the master of literature falsely accused Fan Xian of plagiarizing poems, and his accomplices fanned the flames. Just when everyone thought that Fan Xian would be discredited, he staged a famous scene of "drinking a hundred cups of wine and writing a hundred poems", completely reversing the situation with the poetic heritage of Chinese civilization, which made people's blood boil.
This was so refreshing to watch! This is the power of nine years of compulsory education. It proves that all those ancient poems I learned in school were worth it!
Gu Wei's scene was absolutely amazing. Honestly, it would have been awkward if he hadn't acted well, but Gu Wei handled it perfectly, his lines and expressions were practically perfect, truly embodying the unrestrained demeanor of Li Bai, drinking and composing hundreds of poems!
[The part about reciting poems at the night banquet really amazed me. I was still not satisfied after reading it, so I went to look for the chapters in the novel. It turned out that the screenwriter was really great. The ideas in the novel were not so big. Fan Xian directly said that they were his own. However, the realm was sublimated to a higher level in the TV series.
What we are reciting is not just poetry, but also a fairyland, a homeland that we can never return to, and a cultural heritage that we cannot forget.
So when I watched it, what made me happy and excited was not the slap in the face, not the routine, but a sense of pride, a sense of happiness, pride in my brilliant civilization, and how lucky I am!
[What is an effective way to show off and then get slapped in the face? This is it.]
I've replayed this poem over and over again 5 times, and it still feels good and refreshing!
"It's a world of millennia-old elegance and dazzling literary talent. It's the scroll left in my dreams, the lingering memory of mine." This feels like the screenwriter's homage to Chinese culture. Fan Xian, drunkenly competing in poetry in the palace, becomes a deity in one fell swoop!
[Thanks to China's five thousand years of civilization, thanks to the country's nine-year compulsory education, Li Bai, Du Fu, Su Shi, Li Shangyin, etc., our thousand-year-old elegance is simply a dimensionality reduction blow to the Qing Kingdom! ]
The internet is full of discussions about "Joy of Life", and this discussion reached its peak after the "Night Banquet Poetry Recitation" scene.
The ratings of CCTV-8 soared that night, reaching a peak of 3.65.
The popularity on Tencent's website even exceeded 30,000 at its peak, and "Joy of Life" became the first TV series to exceed 30,000 in popularity on the website after the revision of Tencent Video.
".Drink the soup first, and you will be strong and powerful, the king of kings in the solar system.
Eat more fish to boost your brain power and boost your IQ to the galaxy!"
In the restaurant, a group of waiters dressed like blue aliens marched in neat steps, shouting slogans, and carried a pot of fish into the private room.
At the dinner table, Gu Wei, Bao Qiang and others were stunned by the scene.
"It seems like the Milky Way is falling from the sky, and the Tianyan hotpot is as delicious as the gods!" The scene was a bit cold. While shouting slogans, two "Avatar" waiters brought up the "sour soup fish" and poured it directly into the big pot in the middle of the table that looked like a radar.
"Tianyan sour soup fish, authentic alien flavor!" Mr. Wang, the tourism developer played by Wang Xun, proudly introduced it to others.
"Come on, come on, get it sorted out, get it sorted out"
Wang Xun picked up a large soup spoon to serve fish to others, and Wang Baoqiang, who played the TV director, raised his hand.
"Wait, I have a question before dinner.
Is there a person named Huang Dabao in your village?"
"Click!" The voice of executive director Li Xin came from the loudspeaker.
Gu Wei stood up and walked behind the monitor to watch the previous shot again. He nodded and said something to Li Xin beside him, and then the other party began to direct the staff.
"The camera has passed, teachers, prepare to change the scene.
Xiao Wang, arrange for everyone to move the equipment."
After the premiere of Joy of Life in early May, Gu Wei finished the promotion work for the TV series and went to the filming location of UFO Falls from the Sky - Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village in Qiannan, Guizhou, to start filming the movie.
As a unit story of "My Hometown and Me", the plot of "A UFO Falls from the Sky" is actually very simple.
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a mysterious UFO appeared in Afu Village, Qiannan, Guizhou, only 15 kilometers away from China's Sky Eye. The incident instantly shocked the entire village, and the explosive news even alarmed reporters in Beijing.
[Re-entering Science] Reporters Lao Tang (played by Wang Baoqiang) and Xiao Qin (played by Gu Wei) from the program team went deep into the village to investigate.
Village chief Wang Shouzheng (played by Wang Yanhui) and businessman Wang Chuqi (played by Wang Xun) warmly welcomed the two's arrival. However, during the investigation, several people seemed to have "his own ulterior motives."
After entering the village, everyone discovered that Huang Dabao (played by Huang Bo), a farmer and inventor who looked dull but was wild at heart, was the key figure.
After some interesting, funny and down-to-earth investigation, it was finally discovered that the so-called UFO was actually a drone made by Huang Dabao.
His purpose in making the UFO was not to carry aliens, but to engage in logistics and solve the problem of difficult transportation of goods in the mountains of Guizhou.
[A UFO Falls from the Sky] has a total of more than 20 minutes of scenes, and the estimated shooting period is 22 days.
It seems like a short time, but in fact the shooting schedule arranged by the crew is very easy.
This unit drama itself is part of "My Hometown and Me", one-fifth, and it has a simple plot, few main characters, and a fixed shooting location.
Generally, a movie of more than 90 minutes takes one to two months to shoot. The reason why "UFO Falls from the Sky" was planned to be shot for 22 days is because it is currently during the epidemic, and the deployment of personnel and the actors joining the crew will be affected to some extent, so the shooting plan was set very loosely.
Gu Wei has been in the crew for more than a week and the filming has been going exceptionally smoothly.
Baoqiang is his old partner, and there is no need to say much about the tacit understanding between the two. The real protagonist of this unit, Huang Bo, is also recognized for his good acting skills, with very few NGs, and he has thoroughly understood the character of Huang Dabao.
So every day the crew can complete the day's shooting tasks quickly.
Although there are not many entertainment activities in the Miao village, the scenery here is really beautiful, and it is located in a remote area. Even big stars like Gu Wei and Huang Bo showed up without causing any stir. When they are not filming, everyone just treats it as a trip to the mountains of Guizhou. It can be said that it is a true combination of work and leisure.
"Boss, Teacher Zeng Li is here~"
While the others were packing up, Gu Wei was explaining some things to the executive director Zhao Xin and the photographer. The assistant walked over to him and whispered.
"Did she go to the hotel or come directly to the crew?"
"I've already dropped off my luggage at the hotel and am on my way to the crew."
Gu Wei nodded and said to Zhao Xin, "It just so happens that today's performance will continue as planned. Let's schedule the final scene where Huang Dabao and Dong Ahua meet tomorrow."
"Understood, Director~"
Zeng Li played Huang Dabao's white moonlight Dong Ahua in the movie. The two fell in love when they were young, but due to inconvenient transportation, the lovers were unable to be together.
This incident also became a regret in Huang Dabao's heart and one of the motivations for his research on UFOs.
At the end of the movie, Dong Ahua appears, and Zeng Li only has one scene and one line, it's a pure cameo.
The other party can join the crew at any time and leave after filming.
Of course, because of Gu Wei, Zeng Li had to stay on the crew for one night.
Not long after, the crew moved to the courtyard of Huang Dabao's house in the movie, and Zeng Li also arrived.
"The most beautiful woman in Chinatown has arrived!"
Wang Baoqiang saw Zeng Li coming and greeted him with a smile.
They are old acquaintances. They got along very well when filming "Detective Chinatown 1".
"Bao Qiang~"
Zeng Li greeted Wang Baoqiang with a smile.
The two exchanged a few words, and Baoqiang walked away with a look of respect.
"Sister Li, thank you for coming all the way here~"
"I'm not afraid of trouble when filming. Besides, it's what I promised you."
When Zeng Li saw Gu Wei, a smile appeared on his fair face and he raised his hand to take off his sunglasses.
"This place is quite remote. It took you quite a while to get into the mountains, didn't it?"
"Fortunately, now is not the same as before. Although it is in the mountains, the traffic is very smooth. It's just that the driving time for incoming cars is a bit long. It really is passing through one mountain after another."
“Hahaha, this is how it is in Guizhou, the terrain is like this, but the scenery here is really beautiful.
Sister Li, after you finish filming, why not stay here for a while and treat it as a trip~"
"When is my performance scheduled?"
"We'll shoot tomorrow~"
Zeng Li thought about it and nodded in Gu Wei's expectant eyes.
"Okay, I'll stay for two more days. After filming, I can also visit this Miao village. To be honest, this is my first time in the mountains of Guizhou."
After finishing the day's filming, Gu Wei took Zeng Li to taste the local specialties.
Of course, it’s not Tianyan sour soup fish.
After eating and drinking, the two walked around the neighborhood and then returned to the hotel.
In the hotel room at night.
Both Gu Wei and Zeng Li changed into comfortable pajamas and sat on the sofa watching TV.
"I didn't expect that Sister Li, you are also watching Joy of Life."
"Your drama has been so popular recently, there's news and discussions about it everywhere. I keep seeing clips of it when I scroll through TikTok.
But Joy of Life is really well made. On the first day of its premiere, I wanted to support it, but I couldn’t stop watching it.”
"Haha, you also have a cameo in this drama."
“I know the beginning of the first episode and the end of the last episode.
But it’s quite interesting.”
Zeng Li was holding a plate of purple grapes in her hand, eating them while watching the show, and at the same time she did not forget to feed them to Gu Wei.
"Do you have any work recently? If not, just stay on the set and come back to Beijing with me after filming is finished."
Gu Wei ate a grape and spit out the skin.
During the day, he asked Zeng Li to play for a few more days, and at night he wanted him to stay until the filming was completed.
Zeng Li rolled his eyes at him.
"How is that possible? I only have one scene. Staying for a couple of days to have fun is fine, but what's the point of accompanying you until the end of filming?"
"Consider me a family member~" Gu Wei said with a smile, turned around and kissed Zeng Li on the fair face.
"I'm eating fruit, but my saliva is all over my face."
Zeng Li said with pretended disgust.
"I can't stay on the set for that long for nothing. Besides, I've accepted a variety show and will be filming in a few days. I don't have time to stay here for long."
"What variety show? I remember you rarely appear on variety shows?" Gu Wei asked curiously.
"It's from Mango TV, called Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves.
The name is quite interesting. It’s a variety show that my agent strongly recommended to me.
It just so happens that I haven’t taken on any roles recently, so it’s nice to go and experience it.”
It turned out to be "Sisters Who Make Waves", which is scheduled to be launched next month. This variety show is considered to be the hottest variety show this year, without a doubt.
"I've heard of this variety show. With your qualifications, Sister Li, winning the competition and debuting as a group shouldn't be a problem."
"Haha, are you so confident in me? I don't have much confidence myself."
"How could that be? Sister Li, you are a great singer and dancer. You can crush others with your strength!"
Gu Wei's flattery made Zeng Li very happy.
But he was telling the truth. Zeng Li's singing skills were really good. He had previously collaborated with Gu Wei on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in "Chi Ling". Moreover, the other party had studied Peking Opera and had an excellent figure, so it was not too difficult for him to practice dancing.
The most important point is Zeng Lihong.
After [Detective Chinatown 1], she starred in Andy in the [Ode to Joy] series, Gao Xiaoqin in [In the Name of People], and Tang Jing in [The First Half of My Life].
With the support of several hit dramas, her fame and popularity are among the best among actresses of the same age.
Although she hasn't starred in any hit dramas in recent years and the popularity of the TV series and movies she has participated in is average, she is still not comparable to most of the female stars in "Sisters Who Make Waves".
According to Mango TV's usual style, a contestant with great fame and popularity like Zeng Li will be helped to advance even if she performs poorly.
Besides, her strength is not bad to begin with.
"It's impossible to crush them. I know many of the female celebrities competing are professional singers and dancers. I definitely can't compare to them. I just have to try my best."
Although he was happy with Gu Wei's praise, Zeng Li still had self-awareness.
She felt that her strength was not as good as the best but better than the worst.
"How about we make a bet? I guarantee you'll make it to the finals and even form a group!"
"Ha~ I didn't expect you to have more confidence in me than myself."
Gu Wei put one arm through Zeng Li's back, hugged her soft waist, and lowered his head to breathe into her ear.
"Of course I know you well."
"Okay, I'll make a bet with you. It seems like I won't lose anything whether I win or lose..."
