Chapter 803 Wedding
"This movie is quite good. I don't understand why so many people are criticizing it online."
After coming out of the cinema and getting into the nanny car, Jingtian asked in confusion.
Today, Ying Er came to visit the crew to see her husband Fu Xinbo and her good friend Jing Tian.
After the show in the evening, the four of them went out for dinner, and then at Ying Er's suggestion, everyone went to the cinema to watch a movie together.
Of course, it’s a private reservation.
“I think the filming is pretty good, but it’s a bit bloody.”
Ying Er sat next to Da Tiantian, holding her arm, blinking her big eyes and looking at Gu Wei and her husband Fu Xinbo opposite her.
This was the first time Ying Er met Gu Wei at such a close distance offline. He was so charming.
She particularly likes Gu Wei's film and television dramas and is considered half a fan of his. She was a little excited when they met today.
"What do you think?" Gu Wei asked Fu Xinbo.
“Well, I think there’s nothing wrong with the plot, but the filming technique might be a little inappropriate.
Shooting the same thing from three perspectives, with a lot of overlapping and repeated shots, makes the viewing experience less enjoyable."
Gu Wei nodded.
“This is a question of technique.
There is nothing wrong with filming war-themed works as large-scale group dramas with multiple perspectives, but Guan Hu seems to have forgotten the most important rule for shooting "simple stories" and "multi-angle group dramas": a simple story requires multiple angles to piece together the full picture, rather than stereotyped repetition.
However, the film was prepared in a very short time, with hasty preparations, limited filming materials, and the director did not have enough time for post-production polishing.
After saying that, Gu Wei sighed.
“But this is not what netizens are criticizing.
Because I took on another film about the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, I made a point of learning about that period of history in detail.
The movie "King Kong River" is very different from the real war, and it has too much artistic processing.
Not only did they make up the story, but it was also very fake.
Infantry could cross the Jinjiang River by relying on pulleys, but they had to run to the bridge to be bombed. This forced sensationalism is not only contrary to history, but also makes people question whether our army's combat wisdom is so low and whether there are many unnecessary sacrifices.
The West likes to promote our use of human wave tactics, and some of our artists and artists end up believing it themselves.
Gu Wei complained a few times, but didn't go into too much detail.
Many directors nowadays no longer have a broad historical vision and are always keen to look at their country's history from the perspective of foreigners, thinking that this is called objectivity.
The so-called discipline is the main theme that no one likes. Only American-style soldiers are heroes. It is full of Hollywood routines.
Return to the hotel in the evening.
After Ying Er finished calling the nanny at home and learned about the child's condition, she went to Fu Xinbo.
"Honey, when will you finish filming your scene?"
“I didn’t have many scenes, but I couldn’t focus on filming because I had to coordinate with the crew’s filming schedule.
It might take about a month.”
After washing up, Fu Xinbo changed into comfortable pajamas and read the script. He had a scene to shoot tomorrow.
“Unfortunately, there isn’t any role suitable for me in Joy of Life.
Gu Wei is really handsome. I’ll ask him for two photos and an autograph later.”
Fu Xinbo glanced at his wife and said nothing.
After praising Gu Wei, Ying Er came over with a smile.
"Hubby, you won't be jealous if I say this, right?"
Fu Xinbo flipped through the script and said nonchalantly, "Why should I be jealous? He's really handsome and a real big star. So you really like his plays."
"Are you so generous?"
Fu Xinbo turned to look at his wife, touched her head and said with a smile: "I am generous because I know that Gu Wei doesn't think highly of you at all.
It’s because you have a good relationship with Tiantian, otherwise neither of us would be in her eyes.”
"Huh~ Why do you look down on me, me, me."
Ying Er was just about to say that I am young and beautiful, but when she thought about how she has gained weight after giving birth to a child, she became a little discouraged and raised her hand to pat her husband.
"It's all because of you, I gave birth to children for you.
I, a beautiful girl, have now become a yellow-faced woman."
Fu Xinbo put down the script and hugged his wife in his arms.
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. Can't I just compensate you?"
"What do you want to compensate me for?"
"Compensate you for life"
Hearing this, Ying Er's face warmed up and the corners of her mouth turned up.
"Smooth talk!"
After she finished speaking, she remembered something and turned to look at Fu Xinbo.
"When Joy of Life 2 airs, if you become famous for this role, you won't go out and have affairs, right?"
"I'm just a minor supporting role. How can I become famous so easily?"
"You think you can't be famous, because if you were, you'd get involved in affairs of fame, right?"
Fu Xinbo smiled bitterly: "Of course not, how could I be that kind of person, you are the only one in my heart.
Oh, and now we have to add the little moon."
Xiaoyueliang is their daughter, who is only two years old this year.
"Humph, I don't think you'd dare!"
The two of them leaned against each other and chatted for a while, and Ying Er mentioned Gu Wei again.
"You've been filming on set for a few days now. What do you think of Gu Weiren?"
"It's pretty good. Although he's a big star, he's not arrogant and usually treats everyone in a very gentle manner.
He is serious and responsible about his work and is particularly devoted to acting.
There is a reason why he can become a big star."
Fu Xinbo has a very high opinion of Gu Wei.
"So do you think he and Tiantian are dating?" Ying Er asked curiously.
Fu Xinbo hesitated for a moment: "I'm not sure about this.
But they were really close on the set."
Ying Er thought for a moment and said, "Although I like Gu Wei very much, I also know that he has a lot of gossip and scandals.
Tiantian is also my best friend, I hope she can find a good home."
Fu Xinbo hugged his wife.
"Don't worry too much, Jingtian is an adult and not a child anymore.
She can handle her relationship issues.”
Ying'er stayed for one night and said goodbye to Jingtian and left the next day.
Fu Xinbo was just a supporting role after all, so it was not easy for her to stay on the crew for too long, and she was also a little worried about her daughter at home.
As a costume drama adapted from an online novel, many of the political plots in "Joy of Life" are actually not very rigorous.
The reason why the first part was so popular was largely due to the adapted script.
Some passages in the original novel are very dark and depressing, but after being adapted by the screenwriter, the atmosphere has become much more relaxed.
By the time of "Joy of Life 2", there are more and more time-travel elements, and the plot is becoming more and more subversive.
Emperor Qing, whose face was blackened by the gunpowder explosion, Barrett and the steam train, and even the theme song of "Black Cat Sheriff" appeared.
These things are also slowly revealing the hidden secret of "Joy of Life" - the origin of Ye Qingmei.
Of course, the main plot is still Fan Xian fighting against bad guys and finding ways to help the poor.
This is the realistic side of the drama, and also its meaningful side.
In the second part, a point mentioned from the beginning of the TV series finally had a happy ending, which was the engagement between Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er.
The earliest conflict in [Joy of Life] is the arranged marriage between Fan Xian and Wan'er, and many plots of the first part also revolve around this point.
Now in the second part, the two are finally going to have their wedding.
At night, by the pond in the courtyard.
Gu Wei and Jing Tian sat next to each other, wearing bright red groom and bride attire respectively. Jing Tian also wore a phoenix hairpin headdress unique to brides, which was intricate and beautiful.
We are shooting the wedding scenes today, and the time is tight and the task is heavy.
Almost an entire episode's scenes, from the wedding to the banquet, were concentrated in one day, and by the time Gu Wei Jingtian filmed the last scene, it was already late at night.
"When we were bowing just now, I felt like something was missing, not perfect."
"Why?"
"There are only my father and Aunt Liu in the hall, and your unique witness is missing."
"My parents can't come, it's okay." Jingtian was a little melancholy, but still smiled and comforted.
Gu Wei pointed his finger above his head and said, "But the starry sky is always there.
I remember everything you said.
The starry sky you gave me has always been there."
The two held hands and looked into each other's eyes. Jingtian pursed his lips and nodded vigorously, his face full of happiness and emotion.
“It has seen your loneliness and your happiness.
From now on, you are no longer alone."
After saying that, Gu Wei took out a small square box from behind him. When he opened it, there were two beautiful ruby rings inside.
"Ring? What is this for?"
Gu Wei took out one and explained, "I made it myself. The newlyweds use it as a token of their commitment to spend the rest of their lives together."
As he said this, he put the ring on Jingtian's green jade finger.
Da Tiantian suppressed her excitement and continued speaking her lines.
"Where is this saying?"
“The world I remember.
Later, I will tell you all my memories, okay?
Come, put it on me, on your ring finger."
Jingtian picked up the remaining one and put it on Gu Wei's hand.
"Is this the finalized contract?"
"The starry sky bears witness to the fact that I will never walk alone again for the rest of my life!"
After Gu Wei finished speaking, Jing Tian's eyes were filled with tears of joy. She had now become one with Lin Wan'er and had completely forgotten about filming.
But the real reaction is very good, and the effect cannot be achieved by any deliberate acting.
"I like this contract!"
After saying that, she leaned on Gu Wei's shoulder, and the two of them looked up slightly at the beautiful and vast starry sky.
The camera cuts from the hand wearing the ring to the starry sky and then back to the two people. Everything is so beautiful, like a beautiful painting.
Gu Wei turned his head and looked at Jing Tian affectionately, then lowered his head and kissed him deeply.
The camera slowly pulled back, and the director behind the lens watched this scene without rushing to call for a stop.
After a long while: "Cut! The two teachers performed really well. Today's filming ends here. Everyone, get ready to call it a day!"
After the director finished speaking, the other staff members started to get busy.
Gu Wei raised his head in the center of the venue, and Da Tiantian was still immersed in it with her eyes closed.
Although she and Gu Wei had kissed countless times and even had in-depth discussions on all kinds of embarrassing knowledge, she still couldn't help but indulge in this romantic situation.
After all, girls are not immune to romance, especially when the object is Gu Wei.
I slowly opened my eyes and saw Gu Wei's handsome smiling face opposite me.
"It was a good performance, we just won the last round in one go.
I'll take off my makeup, change clothes, and go back to rest. It's a bit late to shoot today."
Da Tiantian nodded.
After a while, the crew members counted the props and asked their colleagues around them in confusion.
"Did you see the ring that Teacher Gu Wei and the others were wearing during the filming just now?"
"I didn't notice, don't you have any here?"
"No"
"A pair of fake rings isn't worth much. They probably just tossed it away somewhere after the two teachers finished filming it."
The prop man nodded and said, "I'll look for it later."
The crew's hotel room.
Two figures were entangled fiercely on the big bed in the bedroom, and on the cabinet next to them were two rings that were used to sign the contract during the filming.
As the crew continued filming, some actors who did not have many roles gradually finished filming and left the crew, such as Mao Xiaotong who played the eldest princess of Northern Qi, and Yang Chaoyue who played Ye Ling'er.
The others didn't feel anything, but Tian Xiwei was quite reluctant to see Yang Chaoyue leave.
In fact, Xiaotian's role as "Fan Ruoruo" is not that big, but her scenes are scattered, and many of them are shot with Gu Wei, so she has to stay on the crew the whole time.
"Are you going back to the capital after leaving the group?"
Yang Chaoyue first knew Tian Xiwei when she was working as an assistant to Gu Wei, but they didn't have much contact at that time.
It wasn't until they filmed "Joy of Life" together that they started to interact more.
Being of similar age and working in the same company, they naturally had more topics to talk about.
"I'm not going back. The company has picked up a costume drama for me. It will start filming in a few days, so I can join the crew early to prepare."
“I really envy you.
The talent show became a huge hit, and then it became even more popular!"
"Stop envying me. There are so many people criticizing me online. If I wasn't thick-skinned enough, I would have been depressed a long time ago."
"But you're red!"
“Black and red are also red, right?”
The two were chatting when Gu Wei came over.
"Chao Yue, let's have dinner together tonight. It's a wrap-up party for you."
"Okay, boss~"
Gu Wei looked at the two of them.
"Oda is coming too. I've also informed Qilin and the others. They're all young people from the crew, so it's a good opportunity for us to get together."
Tian Xiwei nodded like a little hamster, with her big eyes open, looking very cute.
"By the way, Chaoyue, how are your preparations for the next play going?
Although it's produced by Tencent, our company also invested in it. You and Zeng Shunxi are both very popular traffic stars at the moment, so please perform well and don't let it down."
Yang Chaoyue's next drama is called "Who is the Hero", which is adapted from Wen Ruian's martial arts novel of the same name.
This drama was originally prepared by Tengxun. When the project started, they contacted director Li Muge from Gu Wei Company, so [Wei Ming Tian Xia] naturally joined in.
The two main actors are both artists of Gu Wei's company and have extremely high traffic.
"I plan to join the crew early. My agent has found an acting teacher for me. I will take intensive lessons for a period of time before filming starts. The teacher will also help me correct problems during filming," Yang Chaoyue said seriously.
She had indeed listened to what Gu Wei had said to her before, and was working harder now.
"That's right. When we finish filming here, I'll come visit you on set when I have time."
"Okay, boss~"
Yang Chaoyue agreed happily.
