Chapter 848 Director Chen’s Resentment
The [Greater Bay Area Mid-Autumn Festival Music Gala] organized by the Film Channel was undoubtedly a success. It brought together many celebrities from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, and attracted the attention of countless netizens and audiences. Its popularity even exceeded the original Mid-Autumn Festival Gala broadcast on CCTV at the same time.
I would like to add that although the movie channel is called CCTV-6, it is not actually under the management of CCTV, but is directly under the jurisdiction of the Central Propaganda Department.
#The bright moon rises in the Bay Area, and we all share this moment! #
#Building a sense of patriotism and strengthening national identity, the [Greater Bay Area Mid-Autumn Festival Music Gala] created a visual feast for the audience, expressing the homesickness of the Chinese people in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area! #
#[Greater Bay Area Mid-Autumn Festival Gala], with its musical content closely tied to its theme, fully showcased the Bay Area's outstanding musical culture and demonstrated the region's achievements in popular music! #
Mainstream media reports basically focus on geography, culture, unity and other aspects, with a main theme and positive energy.
Online media were much more casual. After affirming the success of the Greater Bay Area Mid-Autumn Festival Music Gala, they carefully picked out the parts that netizens were more interested in.
For example, the "Iron Lung" singing king Lin Zixiang went on stage at the age of over 70, and performed live with the microphone, showing that he is still as good as ever!
The century frame of Wang Fei and Nicholas Tse. When the queen went on stage to perform, the director deliberately gave the camera to Tingfeng. His eyes looking at the stage were obviously very gentle.
There is also the "Ashura Field" on the same stage, with Huang Xiaoming and Chen Weiting, Cai Zhuoyan and Janice Man. His wife is his ex-girlfriend, and she is his ex-girlfriend. She and his wife used to be good friends, but later they broke up. The relationship is so messy.
In addition, there are Zhang Jie and Liu Ye, Ouyang Nana, Chen Feiyu and Liu Haoran, etc., who are embarrassed in person but very interesting to netizens.
Of course, the song "If the Moon Didn't Come" sung by Gu Wei and Deng Ziqi was undoubtedly the highlight of the entire evening.
To be honest, this version of "If the Moon Didn't Come" is somewhat inconsistent with the theme of the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, which is a beautiful reunion. Gu Wei had considered whether to use the earliest version or his uncle's version.
Later I decided to use this version.
There is no other reason, the rap lyrics of Laoshu's version are so well written and so touching.
Through the platform of the [Greater Bay Area Mid-Autumn Festival Gala], [If the Moon Doesn’t Come] met with thousands of netizens and fans at the first opportunity.
Its beautiful melody and realistic and down-to-earth rap lyrics have touched countless migrant workers.
#Gu Wei, Deng Ziqi【If the Moon Doesn't Come】# topped the hot search list that night.
#Gu Wei’s first rap# also made it into the top ten hot searches.
[Moon, you don't understand how heavy sixpence is! Hiss, it makes my scalp tingle!]
[The opening is a blast, Gu Wei's first rap is so impressive, this verse is destined to be a masterpiece! ]
[Rewind is youth, CBD represents dreams, cool takeaway is survival, the moon represents expectation, and sixpence is reality.
No matter how difficult it is, the camellia (future) will always bloom! 】
[Oh my god, the above reader scored perfect on reading comprehension. I just thought this paragraph was awesome!]
When I first listened to this song, I just thought it was very pleasant and nice. I was deeply moved by Gu Wei's rap, and I felt that the lyrics elevated the song to a whole new level.
If your period hasn't come yet, your baby might be coming.
[This was Gu Wei and Deng Ziqi's first collaboration, and their synergy was truly perfect. They're both talented singers with excellent voices and vocal skills. Plus, the song is so good, the result was perfect!]
“.After finishing the promotional event for “The Battle at Lake Changjin” in the past few days, I will return to the crew to continue filming. If you have time, you can come to Hengdian to visit the set.
Isn't it normal that my songs are good?
Okay, okay, I’ll sing it for you next time we’re together.”
After Gu Wei finished his phone call by the window, he returned to the house, sat next to Da Tiantian, and put his arms around her soft waist.
Jingtian had already washed up and was wearing a loose and comfortable light yellow pajamas. He was looking at his mobile phone intently. Feeling the strong body close to him, he turned to look at Gu Wei.
"Did you finish the call?"
"Hmm~"
"Who is calling you so late?"
"A friend called me after watching the Greater Bay Area Gala and told me the songs were really good."
Gu Wei thought for a moment and said.
Actually, it was Nazha who called him.
After the party, many people sent him messages to congratulate him, but only Nazha sent him a message and called him.
"Friend? A female friend, right?" Although she was already in deep trouble, Tiantian still had a clear idea of what kind of person Gu Wei was.
Gu Wei pretended to be surprised and smiled, "Congratulations, you guessed it right!"
Jing Tian curled his lips and muttered: "I don't want to guess right at all"
"What are you looking at?"
Gu Wei leaned back, hugged Da Tiantian in his arms with a little force, and casually changed the subject.
“There are reports and videos of tonight’s gala on TikTok and Weibo.
I’m reading the comments from netizens.”
"How do you say that?"
Jingtian put down his phone and rested his head on Gu Wei's chest.
“Everyone really enjoyed the Greater Bay Area Concert. Some even said it was even better than the Spring Festival Gala.”
"That's an exaggeration~"
"Some media even listed the top ten highlights of the evening, including Lin Zixiang's performance, Wang Fei's performance, and the final chorus of all the stars. Your performance was one of them."
Gu Wei nodded slightly, not surprised.
“Don’t you have your own news and comments?”
"I don't have much presence at all. Both songs are just duets or lip syncs."
Gu Wei laughed and said, "That's not right. I saw many netizens saying that Tiantian, you are so beautiful. When you stand on the stage, you look like a princess."
"No way, how could I not see it? You are just making it up to cheer me up." Jing Tian patted Gu Wei's chest shyly.
Gu Wei smiled and gently lifted Da Tiantian's chin, then bent down and gave her a light kiss.
"I really saw it. My Tiantian is the most beautiful."
The next morning, Gu Wei separated from Jing Tian and boarded a flight to Shanghai.
"Boss, I just received an invitation for a new play. It came through Bona Film Group."
On the private plane, Yang Dan reported to Gu Wei.
"The film is based on the true story of the "XJ Hotan Boy with a Broken Arm Rescue," telling the story of a 7-year-old boy who accidentally broke his arm and traveled 1,400 kilometers within the golden eight hours to receive emergency treatment.
Directed by Hong Kong director Chen Guohui, with investors including Bona Film Group, China Southern Airlines, and Alibaba Pictures, it's a mainstream, big-budget film.
Gu Wei was flipping through the script of "Ordinary Heroes" in his hand.
This play belongs to the mainstream theme genre that has been quite popular in the past two years. From all aspects, it meets the requirements of a blockbuster movie nowadays, but he is not interested in it.
"Decline it, but tell Manager Yang that I can help Zhang Tianai get the female lead in this play."
"clear!"
After the plane landed in Shanghai and he reunited with the crew from "Changjin Lake", Gu Wei also started his roadshow journey.
On September 25, the grand premiere of "Changjin Lake" was held in Beijing.
"When is the premiere of [My Fathers]?"
Wu Jing is not here for the roadshow these days. As mentioned before, he has been helping the crew of "My Fathers and Me" with publicity and only came back for the premiere of "The Battle at Lake Changjin".
"On the 28th, will you come over then?"
Gu Wei shook his head. "I have to go back to Hengdian after the premiere today. I've taken a week off."
"Then let's go out and get together after the premiere!"
"Okay, is the good wine you mentioned ready?"
Wu Jing smiled and said, "Don't worry, we've already prepared everything!"
The premiere of "Changjin Lake" was very grand, and many film and television stars in the circle came to show their support.
After the film screening, it was time for the creators to express their gratitude and interact with the audience.
Producer Yu Dong spoke first: "Thank you for your support. I also observed the audience's enthusiasm when the movie was being played just now. This is the greatest affirmation of "The Battle at Lake Changjin".
In fact, it was very difficult to shoot this war drama. It required a huge investment, thousands of crew members and cast members, a harsh shooting environment, and a script that was constantly being refined and revised. No other movie has ever been so difficult to shoot.
Fortunately, thanks to the concerted efforts of the entire crew, all these problems were overcome, and we were able to produce an excellent film that satisfied everyone!"
Then directors Chen Kaige, Xu Ke and Lin Chaoxian spoke separately, basically emphasizing the difficulty and difficulty of filming.
Finally it was Gu Wei and Wu Jing's turn.
Gu Wei: "Originally I wasn't planning on taking on this film. When Director Yu first approached me last year, I told him I had other projects to shoot and my schedule would probably be unavailable.
However, after I refused, Mr. Yu did not give up and contacted me twice in a row. The last time, he even brought Director Lin and Brother Jing with him, and we had a drink together.
During that time, Director Yu and Director Lin told me in detail the story of "Changjin Lake" and the effect they wanted to achieve. Brother Jing also persuaded me, and finally I took on the role of "Wu Wanli".
Now that the movie is about to be released, I feel a little glad that I took on the role of "Changjin Lake".
This film is definitely a milestone epic in the history of Chinese films about the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, recording the great history and the great war. All the actors involved will feel honored for this! "
After Gu Wei finished speaking, Wu Jing took the microphone and said with a smile: "Gu Wei is right, we were both fooled by Director Yu.
Last year, I was in the hospital undergoing surgery on my injured leg when Mr. Yu came to me.
I said, I'm in this condition, and you still want me to film a war scene?
He said it was okay, and we would continue filming after you recovered, and that this play must be starred by you and Gu Wei.
I thought since Gu Wei accepted it, I might as well, and I really like the script of "The Battle at Lake Changjin".
Only after I agreed did I realize I had been cheated.
I have to go out with him later to convince Gu Wei. It seems he is deceiving both sides!"
When Wu Jing spoke, the audience all laughed, and Director Yu beside him was also in high spirits.
After he finished speaking, Yu Dong picked up the microphone again with a smile: "When the project of "Changjin Lake" was first launched, I felt that the two protagonist brothers had to be Gu Wei and Wu Jing.
Everyone should have seen "Wolf Warrior 2" and "The Wandering Earth".
Do you think there are other suitable actors in the entertainment industry besides them for this kind of dual male lead or battlefield brother role? "
Yu Dong asked loudly, and the audience immediately answered in unison, "No!"
"So, I had already decided that no matter what method I used, I had to get them to agree to act in the show.
After all the efforts, we finally got the best result."
Yu Dong is a good person. He praised Gu Wei and Wu Jing in various ways. Of course, he did not forget to mention the other actors after he finished speaking.
"Changjin Lake" is a very large crew, with three directors alone. Although Gu Wei and Wu Jing are the absolute protagonists, the role of the actors cannot be ignored.
Later, when interacting with the audience, in response to questions from reporters and audience members, everyone not only answered the questions normally but also started to brag.
Several directors said that the actors performed well and were not afraid of hard work or fatigue, and cited the examples of Gu Wei and Wu Jing's injuries.
The actors also praised each other. One said Hu Jun acted well, another said Li Chen was not afraid of hardship. Gu Wei also praised Han Dongjun, saying that when he first worked with him, he felt that his temperament was very suitable for playing a soldier, very tough and outstanding.
The atmosphere at the scene was originally harmonious until a reporter asked Brother Chen Kai.
"We all know that Director Lin and Gu Wei have worked together on Operation Mekong, and Director Xu Ke has also worked with Wu Jing on a film. But Director Chen, this is your first time working with both actors.
What did Director Chen think of Gu Wei and Wu Jing during their first collaboration on the set of "Changjin Lake"?
Brother Chen Kai took the microphone and paused for two seconds. Everyone's eyes were focused on him, and Gu Wei and Wu Jing also looked over.
“In addition to a team that can tell stories and history well, the most important thing for a good work is the support of good actors’ acting skills.
Gu Wei and Wu Jing are obviously such good actors.
The Wu brothers they play are the backbone of the Seventh Company and the absolute core of the film."
Brother Chen Kai's speech did not surprise everyone, he also praised Gu Wei and Wu Jing.
But then he changed the subject: "However, I am afraid I will not cooperate with them in making movies in the future."
When he said this, Yu Dong's heart was lifted up, and his brows were slightly frowned, thinking, "Brother, please don't cause trouble for me in this situation!"
As a producer, he was well aware that Chen Kaige was dissatisfied with the actions of Gu Wei and Wu Jing during the filming of "The Battle at Lake Changjin", and he even took sides.
If this situation came out from Brother Chen Kai's mouth, it would definitely be shocking news, but it might not be a good thing for the promotion of the movie.
Everyone at the scene was listening to Brother Chen Kai and waiting for him to continue.
".Because they have both been directors, in the crew of [Changjin Lake], in addition to being the main actors, they also took on some of the director's work. Every time they were filming, I felt that my presence was a bit "redundant".
Of course, it’s not just me; Director Xu and Director Lin should also feel this way.”
Brother Chen Kai finally didn't expose the truth directly, but spoke in a joking tone, and finally dragged Xu Ke and Lin Chaoxian in.
The two of them could only respond with a smile.
Yu Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Wei and Wu Jing looked at each other, their smiles a little playful, but neither of them said anything.
The interaction was pretty much the same. Some celebrities in the audience stood up and shared their thoughts on the movie, which were mostly praises.
Afterwards, the main creators took a group photo together to end the premiere ceremony of "The Battle at Lake Changjin".
