Chapter 608 The Most Outrageous
After finishing all the things he needed to do in Beijing and enjoying the delicious food prepared by Ni Ni, Gu Wei flew back to Shanghai early the next morning to continue filming "Super Time Cohabitation".
"His Majesty the King is back?" Liu Yifei in the crew looked at Gu Wei with a smile, not sure whether it was a compliment or sarcasm.
The impact of Weibo Night lasted for a while, and many fans of Gu Wei and Yang Mi celebrated on the Internet.
The long-tail effect of [Eternal Love] is still very powerful, and the "Peach Blossom Couple" and "White Night CP" have been brought out again.
Gu Wei and Yang Mi have been together all the way from "Gu Jian Qi Tan". They have a lot of CP fans, and every time they appear in the same frame, they can arouse excited discussions among fans.
In the eyes of CP fans, the winning of Weibo King and Queen this time was a bit like a meeting at the top, and the final speech when receiving the awards made fans crazy.
"Ahem. Based on our relationship, Sister Yifei, you don't have to start from the rank of concubine. I can directly make you a noble concubine!"
"Go to hell, you really think you're the emperor."
The two of them were laughing and joking, and Xu Zheng walked over.
"Gu Wei, congratulations! The movie is a big hit, and you won the Weibo King award again."
"Thank you. It's a small thing, not worth mentioning." Gu Wei smiled and waved his hand.
"It's not insignificant. He just said he would make me a royal concubine." Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows at Gu Wei.
"Oh? Really?
I think this is a good idea!" Xu Zheng also joined in making fun of Liu Yifei.
"Director Xu. Humph!
I won’t talk to you two men anymore. I’m going to talk to Director Su Lun about the next shoot.” Liu Yifei stamped her feet lightly and turned to leave.
Gu Wei and Xu Zheng watched her leave with a smile.
"I will arrange your performances more frequently in the next period of time, otherwise it will be too late."
“No problem, that’s as it should be.
Who made me ask for leave from time to time?
More than 80% of the scenes in [Time Raiders] require the male and female protagonists to complete together, and the remaining 20% include some scenes for the male protagonist alone. Gu Wei plays two roles. His role in 1999 and in 2018 is more important than that of Liu Yifei.
Since he asked for leave, there are not many scenes left for the crew to shoot.
But there was no way, he was really too busy and had to take some leave.
He will also go to the United States to participate in the Super Bowl performance at the beginning of next month. Before "Go Go Squid!" is released, he will have to appear on a variety show with Yang Zi to promote it. He will need to take leave at that time, and Xu Zheng is also aware of this.
If it were any other young actor, he would have lost his temper and would have left if he couldn't film.
But because it was Gu Wei, the crew had to accommodate his schedule and try their best to adjust the filming tasks.
In the eyes of Xu Zheng, Su Lun and even Light Media, another producer of "Time Raiders", it doesn't matter what kind of movie is made, what matters is that Gu Wei is involved in it.
Especially now that the low-budget romance film "Ex-Files 3" has broken 2.2 billion at the box office, Xu Zheng is even more confident about his film.
"When will Li Xian from your company come over? I've already communicated with Guangguang. Liu Yan is available recently."
"I'll ask my agent to contact him, it won't delay the filming."
Many of the minor roles in [Time Raiders] were played by various actors. Originally, Yang Mi was wanted to play "Xiao Ya", but Liu Yan was chosen in the end.
The original version of her wealthy husband was played by Li Guangjie. Xu Zheng brought it up during a dinner party with the crew of "The Wandering Earth", and Li Guangjie readily agreed.
But after everyone analyzed it, they found that even if Gu Wei played a mature role, there was still an age gap between him and Li Guangjie. It would be better to find a younger actor to play with him so that it would not look out of place.
So Gu Wei recommended Li Xian from his company.
It was just a guest role. Li Xian is quite famous now. After the hit of "Princess Agents", he is also considered a second-tier male star, so the matter was settled.
"The noodle-pulling performance from the bottom of the sea is so smooth and flowing"
After the daytime scenes were finished and night fell, the crew filmed the scene where the male and female protagonists ate hot pot in the studio they had built.
This cameo appearance by Xu Zheng is the funniest part of the whole film.
It really takes talent to act in comedy. Some actors are funny just by the way they stand there, and the audience can laugh even without saying anything just by opening their mouths.
Xu Zheng was wearing a black work suit with red edges, a baseball cap, and a bright red apron embroidered with the "Seabed Rescue" logo.
Gu Wei and Liu Yifei were eating hot pot around a table, and Xu Zheng was holding a noodle and performing a noodle-pulling show for them.
As a modern person, Liu Yifei is accustomed to it and concentrates on eating. Gu Wei, who was born in 1999, has never seen such service before and stares at his performance.
"Smooth as flowing water, overwhelming as mountains and seas" Xu Zheng jumped and swung his arms, and the overlapping of time and space made the two houses merge into one, with a bulge in the middle of the floor.
"Oh my god, your land is a bit uneven.
Brother, this is all designed, what a great idea! "
Hearing him say this, Liu Yifei lowered her head to eat noodles and looked at Gu Wei awkwardly.
"Golden snake wrapped around, space walk
Thank you everyone, I am the oldest noodle-pulling chef at Lao Hai Di!
Please give us a round of applause, thank you!"
Gu Wei clapped his hands vigorously out of respect, just like a country boy.
"Please enjoy your meal!"
The noodles were put into the pot and Xu Zheng stepped aside.
"I am the most talkative employee at the bottom of the sea.
Excuse me, can I use your bathroom for a moment?"
"Go quickly." Gu Wei was about to move aside.
"No!" Liu Yifei stopped loudly while eating noodles.
"It's okay, I can hold it in." Xu Zheng retreated hesitantly.
This scene was shot twice, with the main shots focused on Xu Zheng, the noodle-pulling chef, and Gu Wei and Liu Yifei just having to cooperate.
"Su Lun, what do you think of this place?"
After the performance, Xu Zheng went back to the monitor to watch the scene.
"No problem, everything looks good to me. Actually, the first take was also OK. I filmed it again just to make sure it's one take."
Xu Zheng touched his chin, watched the replay on the screen, and then looked up at the venue.
Gu Wei and Liu Yifei didn't move and were chatting. They were not sure whether to reshoot.
“There are some details that I think could be better.
Please wait a moment."
Xu Zheng gave Su Lun some instructions and said something to the staff nearby.
In less than a minute, the staff brought a bottle of white wine and handed it to Xu Zheng.
"Director Xu, what are you doing?"
Gu Wei looked at Xu Zheng carrying a bottle of wine and was a little confused.
“The highlight of eating hotpot at home is the casualness.
There’s nothing wrong with your outfits, and your acting is OK, but your form is a little off.”
"What's the situation?" Liu Yifei didn't understand.
Gu Wei was wearing a red vest from the 1980s and 1990s, while she was wearing a black home outfit. Neither of them wore makeup when filming this scene, as they wanted this casual home effect.
"Look, this hot pot is steaming hot, and you two are enjoying your meal so much, and there's a performance to liven things up. Normally, the skin on your face and neck would turn a little red, right?
The food is spicy and hot, and the lips are red and oily.
No need to put on makeup, just treat it as a midnight snack, and have a little wine, and you'll be all set!"
Now the two of them understood.
Don’t pretend to eat, just eat it for real.
The simmering hotpot in the middle was boiling, and the meat and vegetables on the table were ready. The two of them had often eaten hotpot together before, so there was nothing much to say.
Gu Wei unscrewed the cap of the wine bottle and poured a small glass for Liu Yifei and himself.
"Director Xu, would you like some too?"
Xu Zheng wanted to refuse because he thought that he not only had to perform but also had other work to do.
But after looking at the boiling hot pot, he swallowed his saliva.
"A little bit."
Ten minutes later, after drinking a small glass of white wine and eating the hot pot meat and vegetables, Liu Yifei's face and neck turned red, and Gu Wei's head was also sweating a lot, and he deliberately did not wipe the oil on his mouth.
The crew started filming again.
This time it went very smoothly, and Xu Zheng was very satisfied after watching the replay.
Within two days, Liu Yan and Li Xian joined the group.
These two people are purely guest-starring, Liu Yan has two scenes and Li Xian has one, and the filming was completed in one day.
"Mr. Gu."
"Long time no see, you've become more beautiful!" Gu Wei praised habitually.
"We just met last month at the premiere of [The Thousand Faces of Dunjia]. Mr. Gu is a forgetful person, and I don't know when he will be able to fulfill the meal he promised me.
I didn’t expect it would be so difficult to treat people to a meal these days.” There was a hint of resentment in Liu Yan’s words.
"Um, I'm sorry, I've been really busy lately with all sorts of things piling up on top of filming.
But it doesn't matter, I will definitely contact you when I have time.
I have never broken my promise." Gu Wei touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
This girl is beautiful and has a good figure, but Gu Wei is really busy, so he only helped her with a small favor at the time and didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, Liu Yan has always remembered it.
"Then I'll go put on makeup." Liu Yan smiled after getting the promise and walked towards the dressing room with her seductive figure.
"Do you know each other well?" After Liu Yan walked away, Liu Yifei came over and asked curiously.
"No, just ordinary friends.
She is from Guangguang, and I have always had a good relationship with Guangguang.
She was the one who hosted the premiere of Detective Chinatown 1."
"I see Liu Yan is very enthusiastic about you."
"I'm so handsome, it's not normal for beautiful women to be so enthusiastic towards me."
"So conceited!" Liu Yifei curled her lips.
"Haha, we were just acquaintances at first, but then I did her a small favor and she kept thinking about thanking me, so she was naturally enthusiastic when we met."
"What's going on?" Liu Yifei looked curious.
"Did you see the news about Bao Beier's wedding, where she made trouble for the bridesmaids?"
"Well, I really think I have an impression of what you said.
I remember now, the bridesmaid who was teased was Liu Yan.
That incident seemed to be quite a big deal at the time.”
Gu Wei nodded.
“I won’t comment on who is right or wrong.
However, after the incident, Bao Bei'er and Liu Yan, who had a good relationship, became completely estranged.
In addition, some of the male stars in the groomsmen group at that time were offended by her.
This caused her career to plummet.”
"Isn't Liu Yan from Guangguang? Doesn't Wang Changtian care?"
Liu Yifei has also worked with Light Media before, and the producer of the "The Four" series of films was Light Media.
"Lao Wang doesn't like to interfere in the affairs of his artists. Plus, Bao Beier is the top star of Guangguang. She can act and direct. Liu Yan can't compare to her."
"How can this be done? This is bullying!" As a woman, Liu Yifei immediately stood up for the injustice.
"I also saw the news by accident. I have some friendship with Liu Yan, so I spoke up for her and helped her out. The matter was resolved."
"Is it that simple?"
Gu Wei was helpless.
"It's not a big deal, but for Liu Yan, it could be a matter of life and death in her career.
But for me, it was just a matter of calling Wang Changtian."
After hearing what he said, Liu Yifei also reacted.
At Gu Wei's level, the people he really talks to are not big stars and directors like Wu Jing and Xu Zheng, but film and television company bosses like Wang Changtian and Wang Zhongjun. Their ideas can truly determine the career and even life direction of a small star.
"You are a hero who saves a beautiful girl. She must be thinking about how to repay you," Liu Yifei said with some sourness, thinking of the time when she was saved by Gu Wei.
"Why does this guy always act like a hero when there's nothing wrong?"
"Haha. That's an exaggeration. It's just a simple thing, I don't take it seriously."
With Liu Yan's figure and looks, she can easily play the role of a green tea female supporting role.
In fact, she has played this kind of role many times and is very experienced.
In the popular TV series "Let's Get Married" starring Gao Yuanyuan, Liu Yan played the heroine's green tea best friend "Lan Weiwei".
She seduced Gao Yuanyuan's boyfriend, who eventually became her ex-boyfriend, and Lan Weiwei successfully took her place.
In the movie "Detective Dee: The Mystic Nine", Liu Yan still plays a similar role "Dai Yiyi", who steals her sister's boyfriend.
This time, she plays the same role as "Xiao Ya" in the movie, a scheming green tea girl best friend.
Xu Zheng definitely put a lot of effort into the movie "Time Raiders".
From preparation to shooting, he personally took care of every aspect. Not only did he make a cameo appearance himself, he also asked his wife to play a cameo role - the manager of the luxury store where Gu Xiaojiao worked.
"You don't have a high EQ, right? You don't have much talent either.
You work so hard to earn some money but still get cheated. Is there something wrong with your IQ?
If you don't agree, you can refute it?
I introduced all the unmarried, divorced, and widowed customers in the store to you, but you are too low to reach them."
Taohong wiped the watch in her hand while complaining about Liu Yifei beside her.
"What's out of reach? It's right here!
Of these six stores, you're the most troublesome!" The two were chatting when Liu Yan walked in. The timid Liu Yifei quickly took off her work clothes and stood outside the counter in a pretentious manner, constantly winking at Tao Hong.
Taohong looked surprised, not knowing what was wrong with her.
"What are you looking at? Are you out of your mind? You don't know what to do?"
"Xiao Jiao?" Liu Yan turned around when she heard the voice.
"Xiaoya." Liu Yifei also pretended to have just noticed her and called out to Taohong, "What are you standing there for?"
"Then what do you think we need to adjust?" Tao Hong suddenly realized and hurriedly cooperated with Liu Yifei.
"Teacher Taohong's acting skills are really superb. There are very few young actresses nowadays who can compare with her." Gu Wei had nothing to do with this scene, so he also went behind the monitor to watch the excitement.
"Of course, she was much more popular than me back then.
She has won the Golden Rooster Award and the Feitian Award for Best Actress, and her acting skills are definitely the best among actresses.
When we were dating, many people said I was a toad trying to eat swan meat," Xu Zheng said with considerable pride.
"Teacher Taohong seems to have produced very few works in the past two years."
"I have to take care of my family. I'm very busy. If she goes out to film, there will be no one to take care of the family."
"It's such a shame that such a good actress has become a full-time housewife."
“I’m not really a full-time housewife, I do make guest appearances in some movies when I have free time.
I also started some investment business with a good friend of ours, and it's pretty successful."
Hearing this, Gu Wei's heart moved. Xu Zheng and Tao Hong's good friend might be Zhang Ting in the TV series "Love Across Time and Space".
He did not continue the topic. He and Xu Zheng were just ordinary partners, not comparable to Wu Jing, Deng Chao and others. They just made money together, and the rest was up to each other.
