Dali, the crew of "Where the Wind Is"
"I went out and appeared on a variety show, showing off in front of the public again.
I didn’t expect you to be so good at games!”
After the final of [Fight to the Peak] was broadcast, Liu Yifei also watched the variety show.
She doesn't usually play video games and has no interest in this kind of program. She only paid attention to it because Gu Wei took leave to participate.
"I can act, sing, play the piano, speak multiple languages, and play games."
Liu Yifei counted on her fingers the specialties of Gu Wei that she knew, and then turned to look at him.
"I'm curious, what is it that you don't know?"
Gu Wei put down the script in his hand, looked into Liu Yifei's eyes and smiled, "Don't worship me, I'm just a legend.
What you know is always just the tip of the iceberg.
I know so many things, like a huge treasure that can never be exhausted.
It would take you a lifetime to learn more.”
Recently, I have been filming the love scenes between Xu Hongdou and Xie Zhiyao, which is really too sweet.
In addition, having been with Liu Yifei for more than three months, Gu Wei could come up with such flirting words without hesitation.
Liu Yifei blinked her eyes and had to admit that she was really attracted by him. Gu Wei was such a charming guy.
"Haha~ I discovered another characteristic of yours~"
"What?"
"So shameless!"
Gu Wei smiled.
“By the way, Xixi, do you usually play games? I can take you along.
[Honor of Kings] This game is played by many girls.
“I have no interest in video games and I don’t understand how to play them.
If you have that much time, you might as well bask in the sun or read a book.
Do you think my mentality is too old-fashioned? "
Seeing Liu Yifei's questioning look, Gu Wei shook his head: "This is in line with your personality, an artistic young woman.
All I can say is that your habits and preferences haven’t changed at all over the years.”
The two chatted casually when the staff knocked on the door of the RV to inform them that the afternoon shoot was about to begin.
So Gu Wei and Liu Yifei got out of the car and prepared to start work.
After more than three months of filming, [Where the Wind Is] has entered its final stage.
What was filmed in recent days were some things that happened in the village after Xu Hongdou and Xie Zhiyao confirmed their relationship.
According to the director, all the things the two experienced during this period were paving the way for the further sublimation of their relationship.
Of course, the theme of rural revitalization will not change, but the interaction between the male and female protagonists is also really sweet.
The two of them would often watch the sunrise and stars together, whisper sweet nothings to each other, and their affection was so intense that many crew members couldn't help but give them a sweet smile.
For Liu Yifei, these few months of filming were definitely the happiest time in her life.
If we say that the relationship between the male and female protagonists when she and Gu Wei were filming "Time Raiders" was like a storm, it came quickly and passionately.
Then the feelings between Xu Hongdou and Xie Zhiyao in "There is Wind" are like the warm spring breeze and gentle drizzle, which seep into the heart unconsciously.
Liu Yifei always feels that she is very similar to Xu Hongdou, and her relationship with Gu Wei is just like in "There Is Wind". The two did not like each other as soon as they met, but after a long period of contact and getting along, they slowly discovered that the other person had become a very important person in their lives.
Early in the morning, in front of the cabin at the horse farm.
Gu Wei and Liu Yifei stood at the door watching the sunrise.
"Xie Zhiyao, don't you think sunrise has a kind of magic?
Yesterday is gone, leave tomorrow to tomorrow.
Today is a brand new and unique day.
The sun rises for me, so everything works out."
Liu Yifei had her hair loose, wrapped in a small blanket, and her head rested on Gu Wei's shoulder, clinging to him like a little wife.
“It’s something that’s inscribed in people’s genes.
Human ancestors spent long nights in dark caves.
The sunrise is the best reward."
Gu Wei had something on his mind, and he felt some emotion when watching the sunrise.
The two stood quietly admiring the beautiful and spectacular scenery in the distance. Gu Wei turned his head and asked, "Why aren't you talking? What are you thinking about?"
"I don't think about anything, what I want is right beside me"
Gu Wei turned around and held up Liu Yifei's little face: "Xu Hongdou, you are so good at coaxing people, you are so good at it. Don't lie to me in the future!"
"I will definitely lie to you next time~" Liu Yifei tightened the thin blanket around her and said with a smile.
"You're going to lie to me now, right?"
"I'm telling you the truth now just so I don't lie to you later."
The two looked at each other, and Liu Yifei said seriously: "I will definitely deceive you in the future, and I will still lie. I will also be petty, selfish, jealous, and envious.
Weighing the pros and cons, jumping back and forth between loving you and strangling you.
Because I am a human being, and the weaknesses of human nature are fully reflected in me."
As she spoke, Liu Yifei placed her hands on Gu Wei's neck and shook them back and forth twice.
Gu Wei hugged her slender waist, a doting smile on his face: "Why did you put a confession in such a long paragraph?"
"Confession?" Liu Yifei opened her eyes wide.
Gu Wei's smile became even brighter: "Love me."
Liu Yifei was also amused by his words, and the two of them bumped their foreheads affectionately.
"You just want to hear what you want to hear, right?"
"I am also a human being. I have human weaknesses, and there are many of them. You will slowly discover them."
Gu Wei finished speaking with a smile and was about to turn around, but Liu Yifei gently touched his shoulder and raised her hand to hook her fingers. The two continued to look at each other, their eyes full of love.
Gu Wei held her shoulders and slowly lowered his head to kiss her.
According to the plot designed in the script, Liu Yifei should have stopped him, joked that Xie Zhiyao had eye boogers, and helped him pick them out, and the two ended the scene with laughter and playfulness.
However, when the performance reached this point, Liu Yifei had no reaction at all, and just stared at Gu Wei who was kissing her.
Slowly, their lips pressed together, like two petals swaying gently in the wind, exuding a sweet fragrance.
"Director, do you want to shout?"
Behind the camera, the assistant director whispered that according to the script, this part was performed incorrectly and should be done again.
"What are you shouting about? Isn't this good?
Camera, push the camera up and do a half circle around the two main actors."
The director did not shout, and Gu Wei and Liu Yifei were also immersed in this sweet and beautiful kiss, exchanging each other's saliva.
Liu Yifei had her eyes closed, letting Gu Wei do whatever he wanted.
“Crack!”
The director's voice came, Liu Yifei had not responded yet, but Gu Wei had already raised his head.
"You changed the play at the last minute"
"Don't you think it's more appropriate to end this scene with a kiss between the two of them? Their relationship has been tested by many things and is stable and sweet. Of course they should kiss when the mood strikes."
Liu Yifei took two breaths to calm herself down and tried to find an excuse for herself.
Gu Wei thought about it and nodded: "You are right, digging out eye boogers does spoil the mood.
But next time you have this idea, tell me in advance. Fortunately, I am a professional."
"I was wrong. I will definitely discuss this with you next time."
Liu Yifei clasped her hands together and apologized.
She didn't want to change the scene at all. She was so immersed in the role that she completely forgot about her part later and was only focused on the kiss.
"Teachers, that was a good segment just now.
Although there were some minor changes later on, I watched it and the shots were beautiful and the emotions were very well-placed.
The shooting at the horse farm is over, and we will move back to the village later."
As the two were talking, the director came over and said with a smile.
"Sorry, Director, I forgot to tell you in advance~"
Liu Yifei said apologetically.
"It's okay, it's just a small matter~"
After talking to the director, Gu Wei and Liu Yifei got on the RV.
"I'm still pretty good. Look, the director approved of my changes."
Gu Wei nodded: "I didn't say that your change was wrong, I just asked you to tell me in advance next time so that I, your co-star, won't be caught off guard."
"Haha, that depends on your reaction. As a mature actor, you can handle the role no matter what the circumstances." Liu Yifei raised her chin slightly and looked proud.
Gu Wei shook his head.
"But having said that, you did a really good job in that scene just now.
The movements, expressions, demeanor and lines are all flawless."
"Hehe, of course I acted well, because it wasn't acting at all, that's what I thought!" Liu Yifei turned and looked at Gu Wei.
"Forehead"
Gu Wei then realized what Liu Yifei said in the previous scene: "I can be petty, selfish, jealous and envious.
Weighing the pros and cons, jumping back and forth between loving you and strangling you.'
How could he not understand the meaning of this?
"According to the filming schedule, the crew will be able to wrap up filming tomorrow. Do you have any plans after filming?"
Feeling a little awkward, Gu Wei could only abruptly change the subject.
“I don’t have any work for a while, so I’ll go back to Beijing after filming.
And you? "
“My movie is coming out next month.
Once we finish filming, I'll have to start promoting it.
According to the company's arrangement, I will first appear on a variety show with the other main actors, and then start the roadshow a week or so before the release."
"Are there any other domestic actors in [John Wick 4] besides you?" Liu Yifei asked curiously.
In fact, the film has started to be promoted since the beginning of this month, and some posters and a trailer have been released one after another.
However, Liu Yifei has been busy filming recently and didn't pay much attention.
"There are two of them. Yang Chaoyue plays my sister, and Dilraba Dilmurat plays a Japanese female assassin."
Liu Yifei nodded: "They are all artists from your company, right?"
"I guess so. Yang Chaoyue is signed to my company, and Reba is an artist of Jiaxing Media. I am the major shareholder of Jiaxing."
"Oh right, there's something I need to tell you.
My team just finalized the deal with Bulgari, and they've already appointed me as the global spokesperson for their jewelry line!"
"Yeah?
Congratulations.
Becoming the spokesperson for the blue-blooded luxury brand Bulgari will go a long way in solidifying your position in the fashion world!"
Liu Yifei smiled happily.
"I have to thank you for this. The last time I mentioned this to you, we were still negotiating terms.
Bulgari did not explicitly give me the title of spokesperson, and there was also controversy over the endorsement fee.
After you made the call for me, they quickly compromised, offering very generous terms, including the title, endorsement fee, and other conditions!"
Gu Wei waved his hand: "It's just a small favor, we don't need to worry about it."
Two days passed quickly, and the filming of "Go Where the Wind Is" which took nearly 4 months was officially wrapped up.
"I'll be resting at home in Beijing for a while. Contact me when you're done."
In the hotel, Liu Yifei said goodbye to Gu Wei reluctantly.
For her, the few months of filming "With Wind" were really a very happy time.
Although I will inevitably meet Gu Wei in the future, the opportunity to stay together every day and talk about love at public expense may never come again.
"I know, I'll come back to have dinner with you.
You promised me that you would come to the premiere of my movie."
"Haha, don't worry, I'll definitely be there to see how your Hollywood debut goes."
“I won’t let you down!”
After seeing Liu Yifei off, Gu Wei chatted with the director and producer of "Where the Wind Is" for a while.
"Mr. Gu, I'd like to trouble you to record a formal version of the song [Don't Panic, the Sun Sets and the Moon Shines] when you have time.
I think this song is very suitable as the theme song for the TV series." Director Ding Ziguang has not forgotten about the theme song.
“That’s fine, it’s what I should do.”
When Gu Wei finished composing the song, he simply recorded a demo and gave it to the director. In the future, as the theme song, he will definitely record a more perfect version.
"Director Ding, how long do you think it will take to complete the post-production of this play?"
"If it's fast, it can be completed in one or two months." Director Ding Ziguang said without hesitation.
[Go Where the Wind Is] is a pastoral drama. There is not much material, so the editing is relatively simple and it can be completed in about a month.
"What does Huace think about copyright and broadcasting platforms?"
Producer Long Ya and Director Ding Ziguang exchanged a glance and said, "To be honest, Mr. Gu, Huace had already communicated with several local satellite TV stations before filming our drama.
At present, Mango TV has the strongest intention, and the price they offer is almost the highest among local satellite TV stations."
"Mango TV is one of the most influential local TV stations, so if all else is equal, cooperating with them is a good choice.
But compared to the TV broadcast, I value the online broadcast platform chosen by our drama more."
Long Ya was a little confused: "Mr. Gu, what do you mean?"
"I don't have any preference. Any of the platforms, iQiyi, Tencent Video and Youku, are all fine. The highest bidder wins.
Even two or three channels can broadcast it together, which will also maximize the broadcast data of our drama."
"Of course. Once the TV series is finished, we will notify [Wei Ming Tian Xia] and jointly sell the copyright."
Although Long Ya didn't fully understand what Gu Wei meant, he still made a normal promise.
Gu Wei said this specifically to remind the other party.
Because Huace has always had a very good relationship with Mango TV, the original version of "Go Where the Wind Is" was broadcast on Mango Satellite TV, and the online broadcast platform was also Mango TV.
There is no problem with the TV broadcast, but the exclusive broadcast on Mango TV is actually a restriction on "Where the Wind Is".
Compared with Tencent, Youku and iQiyi, Mango TV, as a rising star, still has a certain gap with the three old platforms in a series of data such as the number of downloads and the number of members.
In contrast, the dramas broadcast on this platform do not have as much traffic as those from Tencent and other platforms.
Gu Wei has no idea what kind of deal Huace and Mango TV had when the original version was broadcast.
However, since he is one of the leading actors and producers of this version, he naturally wants to maximize the utilization of resources. The first round broadcast rights of satellite TV can be given to Mango TV, but it is better to choose iQiyi, Tencent Video and Youku, which have larger traffic as online broadcast platforms.
Of course, if Mango TV could offer a price that outperformed other platforms, he wouldn't be against it. (End of this chapter)
