Chapter 652 Becomes More Lively
The crew meeting is actually another form of script reading, which is mainly for mutual communication between the main creators. The busiest person is definitely the director. He needs to understand everyone's understanding of the story and the grasp of the role. If there is any deviation, it must be corrected in time to avoid problems during filming.
The movie is a whole. The actors' acting skills are good or bad, and their grasp of the role is also different, but the style must be consistent, which requires the director to control.
[Better Days] is an authentic drama that reflects the widespread social problem of school bullying.
The story begins with the heroine Chen Nian's good friend Hu Xiaodie jumping off a building to commit suicide.
Hu Xiaodie is the first victim of school bullying in the whole movie. She decided to end her young life by jumping off a building due to long-term bullying.
Chen Nian is her best friend, but she is cowardly by nature and did not lend a helping hand when Hu Xiaodie was bullied.
And even if her good friend died, she did not dare to tell the truth at the first time.
Sadly, her forbearance did not bring peace, and she eventually became another target of school bullying after Hu Xiaodie.
A friend committed suicide, she suffered from school violence, her mother ran away due to debts, and debt collectors frequently came to her house.
These misfortunes made Chen Nian breathless. Her life seemed to fall into the water, and she was suffocating little by little.
Fortunately, there were still dozens of days before the college entrance examination, which was her only hope to get rid of her current desperate situation.
As long as she was admitted to the university, she could enter a new life and her future life would be free.
However, these dozens of days were too difficult to endure. The cowardly Chen Nian didn't know if she could survive the daily bullying.
It was at this time that by chance, Chen Nian met the gangster "Xiao Bei" who was beaten on the street, and was involved in his life.
At first, Chen Nian and Xiao Bei seemed to be two extremes. The cowardly and incompetent Chen Nian silently endured the pain of school bullying, and fell into hell but retreated deeper and deeper into the abyss.
Xiao Bei's character was extremely strong, and the pain and injustice of life would only inspire his most intense resistance.
However, the two teenagers found that their environments were no different. The two people in despair slowly came together, licked each other's wounds, and hugged each other for warmth.
Xiaobei promised Chen Nian that he would protect her until the end of the college entrance examination. Chen Nian also promised Xiaobei that she would take him to Beijing to make money after she was admitted to university.
However, in an accident, Wei Lai, who had been bullying Chen Nian, was pushed down the stairs and died by her. The life that had just had some hope for the two fell into despair again.
In order to protect Chen Nian, Xiaobei hid the body and buried it, forged the scene, and was willing to take the blame for her.
Chen Nian remembered their promise and entered the examination room to take the college entrance examination.
Xiaobei's guilt was ultimately unsuccessful. Zheng Yi, a police officer who had seen through everything, used his own way to make Chen Nian choose to plead guilty.
Chen Nian was guilty of manslaughter, and Xiaobei was hiding the body and sheltering. Both of them were minors, so they were lightly sentenced.
Several years later, Chen Nian became an English teacher, and Xiaobei still silently protected her.
The movie is considered a happy ending, but there is no reasonable solution to the campus bullying phenomenon reflected.
Moreover, the overall plot of the movie is on the edge of passing the review. Xu Yuezhen and Zeng Guoxiang valued Gu Wei's participation so much. On the one hand, they also wanted to use his influence to make "Youth" pass the big scissors smoothly.
Gu Wei is basically the first person of the young generation in the film and television industry officially recognized by the government, and the publicity department is very optimistic about his behavior of spreading Chinese culture abroad. Every time Gu Wei's work is launched, it can get support from all aspects of the official media.
This can be seen from both movies and his popular TV series.
The meeting ended, and all the crew members went back to rest.
Zhou Ye came to Gu Wei with the script.
"Brother Wei, can I treat you to dinner tonight?"
Gu Wei was a little surprised. In his impression, Zhou Ye's personality was relatively introverted. When they had dinner together, she spent most of the time eating silently on the side. Only when Gu Wei took the initiative to chat with her would she reply a few words. Why is she so active today?
"Okay, I don't have anything to do today. What do you want to treat me to?"
"When you come to Shancheng, hot pot is naturally indispensable. I am a local. I will take you to eat the most authentic Shancheng hot pot later."
Gu Wei suddenly realized.
"So you're back home, no wonder.
Okay, I'll follow your instructions later."
At night, Gu Wei got off the black Mercedes-Benz and came to Hongyadong, one of the famous scenic spots in the mountain city.
"How about it, beautiful, isn't it!" Zhou Ye got off the car first, pointed to a group of stilt houses built on the mountain and the river nearby, and said with some boasting.
"It's beautiful, it's a magical and three-dimensional city, a bit like the feeling in Spirited Away."
Gu Wei was also here for the first time. What caught his eye was a group of buildings in the lights, layer upon layer, the highest point was almost more than ten floors high, with ancient charm.
A few steps forward, you will enter a pedestrian street. The buildings on both sides are all signs of various restaurants and bars, and above them are some luxury stores.
People come and go around, most of them are young men and women, and it is extremely lively.
Because it is night, Gu Wei and his friends are wearing masks and caps, so they don't have to worry about being recognized.
Soon they arrived at a hot pot restaurant. The two entered the private room they had reserved in advance. After sitting down, Zhou Ye picked up the menu and began to order dishes skillfully.
"Let's order the shabu-shabu pot. Although we both can eat spicy food, we're about to start filming and I'm afraid of getting acne."
“I’m fine with anything”
The hot pot was served very quickly. Almost as soon as we ordered, the waiter brought out the shabu-shabu soup base and various hot pot ingredients.
Zhou Ye ordered a lot of things, including beef and mutton slices, tripe, bean curd leaves, blood curd, lotus root, garlic sprouts, scallion knots, pea tips, etc., with a combination of meat and vegetables and some seafood, filling the entire table.
“You ordered too much. It’s a bit of a waste for the two of us to finish it.”
“This is a specialty. I want you, Brother Wei, to try it all.”
Soon, the shabu-shabu pot in the middle of the table began to boil. On one side, the red soup base was covered with chili peppers, which made people feel hungry. On the other side, there was white bone soup, which tasted very mellow.
Gu Wei picked up a thin piece of mutton with the long chopsticks specially used for hot pot, and put it into the boiling pot for a few seconds without letting go. When he took it out, the mutton had changed color. He rolled it in the oil dish in front of him and put it into his mouth. It tasted fresh and tender, very delicious.
"I used to eat copper pot hot pot in Beijing. It's also hot pot, but the style is different from here."
"Which style do you like?" Zhou Ye took a bite of hot pot tripe and looked at Gu Wei with big eyes.
"I think each has its own strengths. I think they are all delicious."
"This is not an interview, so you don't have to serve me. Even if you say you like Beijing copper hot pot, I won't be sad." Zhou Ye blinked and said mischievously.
Gu Wei was a little amused.
"Xiao Ye, I found that you have changed a little. Before, whether it was a meeting or a dinner, you always looked like a quiet little lady. Why do you become lively now?"
Zhou Ye tilted his head slightly and rolled his eyes.
"Really? I don't feel that way. I think I have always been like this.
So, brother Wei, do you like me who is more ladylike or more lively?"
She said with expectation, waiting for Gu Wei's answer.
"Just be yourself. As long as it's real and not pretentious, I like it."
Gu Wei didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhou Ye's question. He picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth.
"Bring water again" Zhou Ye curled his lips, thinking that he was just perfunctory.
The two were very satisfied with the authentic Shancheng hot pot. On the way back, Zhou Ye touched his slightly bulging belly, thinking that he must eat less in the next few days and must not gain weight.
"Thank you for Xiao Ye's hospitality today"
"Hehe, Brother Wei, if it's convenient for you, I can treat you every meal during the days of filming in the crew~"
Zhou Ye showed his little white teeth, and his eyes narrowed when he smiled, which was very cute.
"Haha, you are very generous!"
"You are my boss. We finally have the opportunity to film together alone. Of course, we have to perform well."
"Okay, if it is convenient, we can go out for something else next time. You can make the decision then." In the crew of "Better Days", Gu Wei and Zhou Dongyu have an average relationship and don't have much in common. Zhou Ye is a good dining partner.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Zhou Ye straightened up and patted her chest confidently, as if she had taken on some glorious task.
Gu Wei felt that her cheerfulness was not due to any change in her personality, but because they had been together for a long time, so she was naturally different from when they first met.
In the past, when having dinner with everyone, Zhou Ye always paid attention to her image. Even if Gu Wei asked her to be more casual, she would be cautious.
Now that she finally has the opportunity to spend time alone with her boss and idol, the excitement in her heart makes Zhou Ye show her truest side.
'I am also dating my boss alone, and I am still a little excited.
The boss is so handsome.’
On the way back to the crew, Gu Wei looked at the night view of the mountain city outside the window, while Zhou Ye, who was sitting on the other side, was secretly looking at his profile.
May 25, Friday.
In a warmly decorated bedroom, the lights in the room were turned off, and the little girl who was originally lying on the bed suddenly opened her eyes.
She slowly got up and listened to the noise outside the door. After confirming that her parents had returned to the room to rest, she tiptoed out of bed and turned on the computer on the other side of the bedroom without turning on the lights.
The sound of the host turning on was a little obvious in this quiet night, but the sound was not enough to be heard outside the door.
"Really, today is Friday, and I am not allowed to watch the computer for a while longer. Mango TV is enough. A good variety show is broadcast after 10 o'clock in the evening. It is too unfriendly to students like me."
Muttering softly, Xiaohui has already sat in front of the computer and put on headphones.
[The Longing for Life Episode 2] She has been following it since it was first aired, but because she goes to school, she can only watch it on the computer during the weekends.
But today's episode is different. The preview shows that her idol will be on the show, so she can't wait all night and just wants to see the show as soon as it airs.
Open Mango TV, and the show that is synchronized with the TV has been updated.
Xiaohui quickly clicked on the icon of the show.
[First one! ]
[Come and see Gu Wei, front row! ]
[Brother, I'm here, brother is the best! ]
[I wish Gu Wei and Liu Yifei's "Super Time and Space Cohabitation" a big hit, Fei Ben Wei, you get a big score! ]
[.]
As soon as the video program was opened, the screen was full of bullet comments like a rainstorm.
Xiaohui also typed a line of bullet comments with a smile - Gu Wei is the most handsome in the universe, mua mua!
After the opening music and advertisements, this episode officially began. In the first part, the guest Li Xiaoran from the previous episode was still there. After staying for a while, she said goodbye to several people from "Mushroom House". Then Peng Peng was arranged by Huang Lei to go to the village to pick up a package.
Peng Peng, who originally went there by bicycle, found that the karaoke machine he bought online was too big to carry, so he borrowed a tricycle from a villager. On the way, he met Zhang Zifeng who was pushing a suitcase.
[This little girl is the little girl in "Detective Chinatown 1", I still remember her smile, it was really scary! ]
[Isn't this Sinuo, she has grown up so much now! ]
[Teacher Huang Lei, come out quickly, your daughter "Fang Duoduo" is here! ]
[Has no one seen that movie? This is "Han Meimei"]
Zhang Zifeng debuted as a child star and has acted in many movies and TV series. As soon as she appeared, she was recognized by many netizens.
After chatting with Peng Peng for a few words, she got on his tricycle.
‘Why hasn't Gu Wei appeared yet? I came to see him,’ Xiaohui was muttering, and the camera turned to a car, where Gu Wei and Liu Yifei were sitting side by side in the back.
[Oh my god, I always think these two people are so pleasing to the eye every time they are in the same frame, their looks are simply amazing! ]
[Wow, Gu Wei is out, so handsome! ]
[Liu Yifei, I love you, be my wife! ]
[What are you thinking about? Dream on! ]
As soon as they appeared, the number of bullet comments increased immediately, directly blocking the screen. Xiaohui reluctantly turned off the bullet comments, holding her chin with both hands and concentrating on watching the show.
Gu Wei and Liu Yifei chatted for a few words in the car, and the car drove to the outside of [Mushroom House]. After getting off the car, the two met Peng Peng who drove back. In this way, the four of them went into the yard together and started the rural life journey of the three new guests for a day and a night.
[Longing for Life] is more than 90 minutes per episode, and it was already past 12 o'clock when it was all played.
Normally, Xiaohui would have gone to bed at this time, but today she was not sleepy at all, on the contrary, she was a little excited.
Later, turning off the bullet comments made her less fun to interact with others. Now after watching it once, Xiaohui clicked on the comment area below the show.
[I really like "Longing for Life". If there is no pressure in life, I also want to live this kind of pastoral life of picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing the southern mountains! 】
【This episode is so good. The part where Gu Wei and Liu Yifei went fishing made me laugh to death. It turns out that men are always stubborn in some aspects. But Yifei's good luck still surprised me. She caught such a big fish! 】
【I suspect that a staff member dived to catch the big fish for them. Otherwise, how could they have such a big harvest in their first fishing trip? 】
【The IQ of the above poster is beyond my imagination. They actually guessed that a staff member caught the fish. You are really a genius! 】
【Doesn't anyone think that the relationship between Gu Wei and Liu Yifei is particularly close? They subconsciously don't treat each other as outsiders.
In the fishing segment, Liu Yifei caught a big fish, and Gu Wei immediately went to help her pull the line and directly held her hand. This CP feeling is absolutely amazing! 】
【That's right, I don't know if you have noticed that when the two of them were recording the show together this time, Gu Wei kept calling her "Xixi". This nickname seems to have always been called by Liu Yifei's family. Ordinary friends usually call her Yifei. I remember that Gu Wei also called Yifei sister before.】
【Not calling someone younger than you sister is a bit wild. OK, OK, this CP is perfect. Both the image and the status are suitable.】
【I'm looking forward to "Super Time and Space Cohabitation". I really want to see these two people kissing and hugging. I dare not imagine how beautiful the scene will be when their looks collide. Just thinking about it now, I'm already smiling like an aunt】
【No one is talking about singing love songs at night, "Little Dimples". It's too sweet. Why don't these two get a marriage certificate? The child born must be born with a beautiful face! ! 】
【Sister Zifeng is also very cute. I look forward to her TV series "Me and Two Him" with Peng Peng.】
【.】
Affected by the extremely high popularity of Gu Wei and Liu Yifei, the broadcast volume of this episode of "Longing for Life" is particularly high, and the discussion is also much higher than the previous episodes.
The promotional purpose of "Super Time and Space Cohabitation" has been achieved, and it has also brought a lot of attention to Zhang Zifeng who came in the same episode. The sister is a pie in the sky, earning a wave of traffic for free.
When Xiaohui came to her senses, it was already 1 o'clock in the middle of the night. After browsing the comment area for a while, she couldn't help but watch the part where Gu Wei and Liu Yifei were fishing, making a fire, and singing love songs. This time, she didn't turn off the barrage, and she herself became a contributor to the barrage.
In the second half of the night, she really couldn't hold on any longer, so she turned off the computer and climbed into bed.
'Anyway, tomorrow is the weekend, I want to sleep until noon.'
