Chapter 463 Long time no see
After Gu Wei joined the crew, the person who was happiest was the female lead Ni Ni, who arrived two days earlier than him.
"Haven't we seen each other for over half a year?"
At today's opening ceremony, Ni Ni wore a light brown long windbreaker on the outside, a white top and jeans on the inside, her long wavy hair draped over her shoulders, her skin was fair, and her red lips were bright, she looked beautiful and cool.
On her oval face were a pair of bright and moving big eyes, her watery eyes staring at Gu Wei, and the slightly raised corners of her mouth revealed her mood at the moment.
"Yes, I have been filming two dramas and two movies have been released recently. I am really busy."
Gu Wei raised his eyebrows and explained that he was really busy and Ni Ni also had work to do. If the two of them hadn't collaborated on a movie, they really wouldn't have had much time to meet.
"I know, I haven't congratulated you on your movie's success yet. You'll have [Detective Chinatown 2] and [Operation Mekong] coming out in the second half of the year. This year's film market is all about you dominating the market. Awesome!"
Nini's eyes curved into crescent shapes as she smiled, looking at Gu Wei and giving him a thumbs up.
At the end of the praise, two words popped out that ordinary female stars would never say.
Gu Wei didn't care. He knew that Ni Ni had a carefree personality and he quite liked it.
"Hehe, if someone else said this, I would be modest and say I was lucky, but since Mr. Miao is praising me, I will accept it calmly. Wait until our movie is released, and then I will show off and fly with you."
Gu Wei winked at Nini, making her laugh.
The two chatted for a while, and Gu Wei greeted his co-worker Zheng Kai. They were also acquaintances. Gu Wei had appeared on "Running Man" many times before to promote the movie.
Zheng Kai was also very surprised that Huayi could find Gu Wei to play the male lead in "Ex-Files 3".
Although he is sometimes a little arrogant and occasionally loses his temper when recording "Running Man", he can actually distinguish between the big and small kings.
Zheng Kai knows best what other people's status is and whether they are higher or lower than himself, so his temper is directed at those who are less famous or not as famous as him. For those who are far higher than him like Gu Wei, his attitude is always very good.
Just like what Nini said just now, Gu Wei is absolutely killing it in the film industry this year.
There has never been a male actor in China who has achieved such exaggerated box office results as him. Although he may not be the first to do so, he is definitely the first.
The audience just thinks that Gu Wei’s movies this year are very good and he is becoming more and more popular. Of course, he was very popular from the beginning.
For the artists in the circle, Gu Wei's performance has set a peak that is difficult for them to surpass. They don't say that they look up to him, but they always feel that although they are all stars, Gu Wei is far away from them.
Compared with film and television companies, producers, and directors, Gu Wei is a popular commodity that everyone wants to work with. After all, no director doesn't want his or her work to be a big hit at the box office, and no film and television company doesn't want to make money.
Zheng Kai knew that Huayi had some minor friction with Gu Wei. Now that they were able to make their own movie and hire Gu Wei despite the competition among many companies, the two Mr. Wangs must be very capable.
The opening ceremony of the first day ended quickly, and under the command of Director Tian, the crew officially began filming.
[Ex-Files 3] Due to the appearance of Gu Wei, there have been significant changes in the cast. Gu Wei plays the male lead "Meng Yun" and the female lead "Lin Jia" is played by Ni Ni.
Yu Wenwen, who was squeezed out of the female lead, did not lose the opportunity to star in this movie. She played the third female lead in the movie, the youthful and lovely "Wang Zi", who was also another girlfriend who appeared beside the male lead as his replacement after breaking up with "Lin Jia".
It can be seen that Huayi really wants to promote her. Even if she doesn't play the female lead, she will squeeze in to play individual roles.
Strictly speaking, the third female lead "Wang Zi" has as many scenes with the male lead as the female lead.
After all, at the beginning of "Ex-Files 3", the male and female protagonists had already broken up, and then they both followed their own timelines.
Only when they occasionally reminisce can the two of them be in the same frame.
The third female character was the male lead's girlfriend for a while, and the two of them had a lot of scenes together.
Therefore, Xiao Wang from Huayi always felt that if Yu Wenwen played the third female role well, she might be able to become a little famous by leveraging Gu Wei's popularity.
Filming started today. Director Tian arranged several flashback scenes from the movie, many of which were shots with only action and no lines, so they were very simple to shoot.
Gu Wei and Ni Ni changed their clothes and put on makeup, and started the formal shooting as required.
"Meng Yun" and "Lin Jia", the process of the two people from knowing each other to knowing each other, and then struggling together from nothing to something, was compressed into a few shots by Tian Yusheng, and he used the Spring and Autumn style of writing to quickly explain the story background of "Ex-Files 3".
It was very easy to film for Gu Wei and Ni Ni because the director didn't give them any lines, just told them roughly what the shot was going to express. When it was edited into the movie, there wouldn't be any of their voices, so he let them do whatever they wanted.
Needless to say, Gu Wei's acting skills are absolutely impeccable now. If he has a script with depth, he is confident that he can win the Best Actor award.
Ni Ni also comes from a film background and was trained by Zhang Yimou, so Director Tian’s requirements are very easy for her.
Although this is the first time that Gu Wei and Ni Ni have worked together, they seem to have an extraordinary understanding between them.
There were no accidents in the first few shots after filming started, and the director basically approved them with two or three takes. This was because Director Tian was afraid that something would be missed at the beginning of filming, so he kept one take.
At the door of a cinema, Ni Ni, dressed simply, sat on the steps, looking around and waiting anxiously.
Gu Wei, wearing a plaid shirt and carrying a black briefcase, ran towards her panting.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry"
He looked at his watch, apologized, and sat next to Nini.
"Why did you come just now? The movie is already finished.
It will be offline until next week."
Nini pouted and complained.
"No, as you know, my company is being renovated and I'm the only one keeping an eye on it."
Gu Wei explained.
"This is my only hobby, and you can't satisfy me."
Nini looked away, acting coquettishly with some sadness.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, it's my husband's fault, okay?
When we make money in the future, we can watch it anytime we want."
Before Gu Wei could finish his words, Nini turned around and looked at him and interrupted him.
"Half-price movies are such a great deal~
From now on, no matter how much money you make, we'll just watch half-price movies!"
Her words made Gu Wei laugh.
"Very virtuous~
OK, let’s come over every Tuesday.”
"Cut! Okay, this shot is over, let's move on to the next one!"
After the camera passed, Gu Wei and Ni Ni smiled at each other, then stood up and went to the side to rest and wait for the next scene.
