Chapter 141 Shooting
Nirvana in Fire is the most difficult drama that Gu Wei has filmed since he entered the industry. The entire TV series has a huge story structure, a large number of people, and complex relationships between characters.
"Mei Changsu" played by Gu Wei is the central point of the entire TV series story, and all events, big and small, revolve around him.
Most importantly, there are so many excellent actors in this drama.
Although Gu Wei has the acting skills of the "Master" level and can definitely not lose out no matter who he plays against, it is like an NBA-level basketball player. If you let him participate in an NBA game or a college league game, both of them play the whole game, the energy he puts in is different.
When filming "Come On, Mr. Right", Gu Wei felt like he was participating in a college league. He could have fun while filming. It was so relaxing and enjoyable. Not only did he have few lines, but he could also act according to the plot most of the time without affecting the filming.
Now that he is filming Nirvana in Fire, Gu Wei has to bring out all his strength if he wants to dominate the show.
NBA players will also get exhausted after playing the entire game.
Today, Gu Wei is acting opposite Liu Yijun, an actor he likes very much.
Liu Yijun plays Ningguo Hou "Xie Yu" in the TV series. Thirteen years ago, Xie Yu conspired with Xia Jiang to have a scholar imitate the handwriting of Nie Feng, a vanguard general of the Red Flame Army, to forge a secret letter, falsely accusing General Lin of treason and deceiving the emperor, ultimately leading to a devastating crime.
He is one of Mei Changsu's main enemies and the first minor villain he defeated.
In the sky prison, "Mei Changsu" played by Gu Wei sat calmly aside, watching "Xie Yu" who was imprisoned.
Although Xie Yu was in a state of disgrace, he still had confidence. He said to "Mei Changsu"
"I will still bet on Xia Jiang, betting that he believes in me. He is my last chance of survival."
The camera turns to Gu Wei, slowly moving from far to near.
"Mei Changsu" had a blank expression on his face, with a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.
"I'm so sorry, but I've blocked your only chance of survival!"
After hearing this, Xie Yu finally collapsed. Wearing a prison uniform, with his eyes wide open, he rushed towards "Mei Changsu" with a desperate shout, but unfortunately he was tied with chains behind him, and he was just a hair's breadth away from reaching him.
"Card!
Very good, Gu Wei and Yi Jun performed very well, I got it through in one take.
The prison scene is finished, and everyone is preparing to move on."
After hearing what the director said, Gu Wei hurried forward to help Liu Yijun untie the heavy iron chains on his body.
"Teacher Liu, thank you for your hard work in filming this scene."
Liu Yijun has a very good impression of Gu Wei because Gu Wei is the most famous person in the entire crew of "Nirvana in Fire", and he is also the male lead.
However, Gu Wei is very respectful to the veteran actors in the crew. Liu Yijun has been in the film industry for many years and has seen many big-name stars behave domineeringly on the set.
There are very few stars like Gu Wei who is so famous and yet still humble, polite, and gentle to everyone in the crew.
"It's okay. As actors, this is the money we earn. It's just filming. It doesn't matter if it's hard or not. It's all for the good of the show."
Liu Yijun said indifferently.
“And I think it was quite enjoyable to shoot this scene.
Gu Wei, your acting skills are really rare among young actors."
As he spoke, Liu Yijun raised his hand and gave a thumbs up.
"Teacher Liu, you are too kind. I am still young and have a lot to learn from you teachers.
Like you, as well as Mr. Wang Jinsong who played the role of Lord Yan and Mr. Ding Yongdai who played the role of the emperor, they are all my role models."
After hearing what Gu Wei said, Liu Yijun smiled and said nothing more.
Liu Yijun was born in 1970 and graduated from the Film Academy in 1991. He is more than 20 years older than Gu Wei.
Judging from his current appearance, he must have been a very handsome and elegant young man when he was young.
When he just graduated from the Film Academy in 1991, he received his first movie in his life, "Falling Wind", and his co-star was Da Songjia, the most influential actress in the Beijing circle at that time.
As a result, Liu Yijun offended the Song family in just one play. The Song family, which was already a "top star" at the time, used their connections to ban him for 10 years.
There was no other way. After graduation, Liu Yijun couldn't find any roles to play, so he had to return to his hometown in Xi'an. He finally started working as a director and screenwriter, and he did this for 6 years.
It was not until after 2000 that Liu Yijun began to receive some supporting roles.
The young man who was once young has begun to enter middle age, and the best ten years of his life have been wasted.
But this incident did not discourage Liu Yijun. He loves acting and can play even the smallest role vividly.
Eventually, he became known to the audience through playing supporting villain roles in several TV series.
Gold will always shine.
"Teacher Liu, I own a film and television production company, and we occasionally shoot some TV series, but of course they are definitely not as good as the Noon Sunshine team.
If a suitable role comes to you, I hope you will not refuse it."
Gu Wei said politely that he felt that asking Liu Yijun to play a supporting role in future TV series would definitely add a lot of highlights to the show.
"Of course that's no problem. Isn't it nice to have a movie to shoot? Feel free to come find me if you need anything."
Liu Yijun agreed with a smile.
After a period of filming, Gu Wei became familiar with the actors in "Nirvana in Fire".
Among all the actors in the crew, except for Wu Lei who plays Fei Liu, Gu Wei is the youngest.
Occasionally, during his free time during filming, he would take the initiative to do some funny actions to make everyone in the crew laugh.
Originally, this drama was heavily focused on political intrigues, and everyone was very tired from filming every day. In addition, there were many older actors in the crew. Gu Wei's occasional cuteness made the atmosphere in the crew less dull.
In the evening, Gu Wei, who had been filming all day, was resting in his room. After washing up, he was looking at the scenes to be filmed tomorrow.
Suddenly I heard someone knocking on the door.
Gu Wei was still wondering who would come to see him at this time.
He walked to the door, opened it, and found that it was Tang Yan standing outside.
Tang Yan was wearing a white blouse and loose pants. She was holding a notebook in her hand and standing at the door with a sweet smile on her face.
Gu Wei was confused.
"Sister Tangtang, what are you doing?"
As their relationship got better and better, Tang Yan asked Gu Wei to just call her "Tangtang".
Hearing Gu Wei's question, Tang Yan, who had been smiling, immediately turned unhappy.
"Gu Wei, we have a scene together tomorrow, and I haven't memorized my lines yet, so I came over to rehearse with you."
Gu Wei suddenly realized that he always helped Tang Yan on the set and they often rehearsed scenes together, but you came to me at this time to act with me. Although I am a gentleman, it is hard not to have some other thoughts.
Are we going to perform the scene of reading the script at night again? It seems that you, the Fairy Sword sisters, have this tradition passed down from generation to generation?
Gu Wei let Tang Yan into the inner room, waited for her to sit down, poured her a glass of water and placed it on the table in front of her.
Tang Yan sat upright, holding the script in her hand, looking at Gu Wei like a primary school student looking at his teacher.
Looking at Tang Yan's performance, Gu Wei reacted, "You really came to me to discuss the script at this late hour."
He had no choice but to find his script for tomorrow, sit opposite Tang Yan, and help her memorize the lines one by one.
By the way, he also memorized his lines more clearly. When Tang Yan didn't know how to express her emotions in some places, Gu Wei would give her his opinions for her reference.
It is not tiring to work together as a man and a woman. With the help of Gu Wei, several of Tang Yan's problems were solved in more than half an hour.
"Gu Wei, it's getting late, I won't disturb your rest.
Thank you so much for today. I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow after the show. You've been bothering me with your help lately."
Tang Yan stood up and said sincerely.
"What's the problem? Let's help each other. I can remember the lines better after rehearsing them with you.
Since Sister Tangtang is treating me, I would be remiss to refuse."
Gu Wei sent Tang Yan out the door. After thinking about it, he still felt that something was not right about what happened today. Could it be that he was really overthinking it, and everyone was actually very pure?
Then he shook his head and decided not to think too much about it, and prepared to go to bed.
Tang Yan walked out of Gu Wei's room and breathed a sigh of relief.
She was memorizing her lines in her room today, but encountered some problems and for some reason wanted to go find Gu Wei with the script.
Of course, she knew what it meant for an actress to go to another actor to rehearse lines late at night.
However, Gu Wei's own conditions were very attractive to her, and the time she spent together in the crew made her understand Gu Wei's character and personality better.
All I can say is that Gu Wei is a person you love at first sight and never get tired of seeing him.
And the more I get to know him, the more I am attracted to him.
Maybe she was subconsciously defenseless against Gu Wei and felt that it didn't matter what happened.
When Gu Wei gently invited her into the house, her heart skipped a beat.
I repeated to myself several times, "He's the little brother, work is more important."
Then he pretended to be calm and concentrated on reciting the lines with Gu Wei.
It can be said that at this moment, Tang Yan's acting skills are off the charts, definitely surpassing her performance in the TV series.
When Tang Yan returned to her room with mixed feelings, she did not realize that she had been seen by another actor in the crew when she came out of Gu Wei's room.
Wang Ou had just joined the crew. Just when she was about to go out, she happened to see Tang Yan, the heroine of "Nirvana in Fire", coming out of a room at the end of the corridor.
If she was not mistaken, that should be the room of Gu Wei, the actor who played "Mei Changsu".
So she took back the step she had just taken and slowly closed the door.
She is an ambitious and sensible actress. Although she has not become famous over the years, she has experienced a lot in the entertainment industry.
Know that sometimes seeing things that others don’t want you to see is not good for you.
