Chapter 867 Returning to the Country

After the filming of "John Wick 4" was completed, Gu Wei did not stay in the United States for long, and left for home after the wrapping party.

". [Go Where the Wind Is] was just started two days ago and is currently filming scenes related to Miss Liu Yifei.

[Storm Chaser] will be released in more than a week, CCTV released the trailer very early, and Tengxun and iQiyi also invested a lot of publicity resources in this drama.”

The first-round broadcast rights of "The Storm Chaser" were given to CCTV, and were sold to several provincial satellite TV stations in the second round.

When the online copyright negotiations began, iQiyi offered the best conditions, but Tengxun was unwilling to give up. In the end, after negotiation and compromise, it was decided to broadcast on both platforms.

"Mr. Long from [Wow Haw Wow] has sent you an invitation.

A variety show they collaborated with Tengxun Video just resumed a few days ago, and Mr. Long recorded the first episode as a guest. She hopes that boss, you can come and participate in one episode if it is convenient."

After Yang Dan finished speaking, Gu Wei put down the script of "Go Where the Wind Is" he was reading: "What variety show?"

"[Mao Xuewang].

An indoor reality variety show.

The hosts are Mao Buyi and Li Xueqin. The format is somewhat similar to a talk show, but it is relatively more relaxed and casual.

This variety show was launched on Tengxun at the end of last year and was suspended for three months after New Year’s Day.”

"It's okay, I have to go out to promote [The Storm Chaser] when it's released, and being on my own variety show will kill two birds with one stone."

"I will reply to Mr. Long later."

The plane returned to China and landed on Qindao. Gu Wei came to the Oriental Movie Capital to visit the cast.

The filming of "The Wandering Earth 2" has entered the final stage. Many actors have finished filming and left the group, leaving only a few main actors with the most roles and some supporting actors whose filming tasks were scheduled for the end.

"It's rare that you, Mr. Gu, a busy man, can come to visit us!"

Guo Fan teased Gu Wei the first time he saw him.

"After all, I have the title of producer, how can I not show my face from the start of the movie to the final shot?

And Director Guo, don’t talk about me, we are each other.

【Ten Thousand Miles Homeward】After you left it to Rao Xiaozhi and Lu Yang, you didn’t care about anything. You were just a hands-off shopkeeper! "

"Well, I believe in their abilities.

Director Rao's level is completely adequate to handle the drama, and with Lu Yang helping me, I don't need to worry! "

"What a coincidence, I also 100% believe in your ability, Director Guo!"

After Gu Wei finished speaking, the two looked at each other and laughed.

After chatting for a while, Gu Wei visited the filming location of "The Wandering Earth 2" under the leadership of Guo Fan.

"How does it feel?"

Guo Fan asked after turning around.

"There are many more sets than in the first film. I can imagine that the scenes filmed must be more grand. It seems that my money was not in vain."

"That's for sure. Although the investment in the second part is much larger, you definitely get what you pay for, and the effect is definitely better than the first part!"

When he walked to the actor's rest area, Wu Jing was chatting with others in costume. When he saw Gu Wei, he looked surprised, then stood up and gave him a big hug.

"Brother, why are you here?

Why didn't you tell me in advance? "

"Surprise for you"

After hugging and letting go, Wu Jing began to introduce Gu Wei to other actors filming with him.

Gu Wei smiled and greeted everyone.

"By the way, Zhang Tianai finished filming and left the group a few days ago, and there is also Dilraba who you introduced, she finished filming earlier."

"I know, my company has another drama that has just started filming, and Zhang Tianai went to that crew."

Wu Jingding nodded and looked at Gu Wei who suddenly thought of something: "Has your Hollywood movie been finished?"

“It just finished filming and I just flew back from the United States.

I also want to thank Brother Jing for helping me make a cameo appearance."

"Why are we brothers so polite? Besides, my cameo scenes are too few. There are only two sentences in one scene. I wonder if it can be edited into the movie?"

Wu Jing's guest appearance in "John Wick 4" was not even part of the cast. He filmed a phone call scene in China as required. The content was to have a few words with "Lin Wei" as "Leng Feng". It was very simple.

"Haha, there's a high chance that it won't appear in the main film. I suggest they put it in the Easter egg at the end."

"Would foreigners not understand this Easter egg?"

"They definitely don't understand. They haven't watched [Wolf Warrior 2], so how can they know who you are, Brother Jing."

"Then" Wu Jing didn't understand Gu Wei's operation.

"Ahem. In fact, this easter egg will be a special version for domestic use and will not be available in the version released in North America.

I did this mainly to tie it into the next movie [Extreme Rescue].

Brother Li Jing, you have a lot of shots.”

Wu Dingding nodded.

"What's it like to film on a Hollywood crew, and what's the difference between it and China?"

Gu Wei thought for a while: "Hollywood's so-called film industry is well-deserved. Lionsgate is the second largest film company after the Big Six, and its personnel and processes are very professional.

Overall, this filming went very smoothly, and working with Keanu Reeves was also a pleasure.

He likes kung fu very much. If you have the opportunity to meet him, you will definitely become good friends."

“[The Matrix] is a true classic.

When I watched this movie, I was shocked to see the scene where Neo dodges a bullet.

Keanu Reeves is also one of my favorite Hollywood stars," Wu Jing said with emotion.

Gu Wei smiled and said: "No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. Judging from the current situation, the [John Wick] series will definitely continue to be filmed. Maybe the next part [Lions Gate] will ask you to cooperate." indefinite"

"Haha, I hope so~"

"Is the movie you're cooperating with Warner about to be made too?"

"The filming is scheduled to start in May. After filming [The Wandering Earth 2], I will join the crew to shoot [The Meg 2]. That's why I asked you what it's like to work with a Hollywood crew. Is there anything you should pay attention to?"

Gu Wei thought for a while: "I still have the same opinion I told you before, be strong, and don't compromise easily if you feel something is wrong.

This is what happened when I went out to film.

In the crew, Keanu and I have a very strong say. If we feel that many scenes are not working and need to be modified, in the end they will be done according to our wishes.

I think very clearly that when [John Wick 4] is released in China in the future, the audience will definitely go to the cinema because of my name.

If the movie is not good, I will take the blame! "

Wu Jing nodded thoughtfully after listening to Gu Wei's words.

After spending some time with the crew during the day, Gu Wei invited Guo Fan, Wu Jing and others to have dinner and drinks together in the evening.

"When will Mr. Gu be available?"

Guo Fan asked during the dinner.

“This year’s schedule is already full, so I definitely won’t have time.

Several projects have been scheduled for next year, and the specific time will need to be discussed again.

Why are you asking this? You want to see me if you have a show? "

"At first, we were planning to shoot [The Wandering Earth 2 and 3] together, but later we found out that it didn't work, so we shot 2 first.

Now that the filming is almost finished, China Film Group asked me when I can start the third part.

The script is ready-made, and the scenery and other details are not too bad.

The third part is the "story after the Jupiter incident" centered on "Liu Qi"

Gu Wei was a little embarrassed: "My earliest schedule is also in the second half of next year.

Let’s make preparations first, and we’ll discuss the specific shooting time later.”

"That's okay"

After returning to the capital from Qindao, Gu Wei stayed at the company for two days to handle some matters, and then came to the [Mao Xue Wang] crew to record the show.

"Hello, hello!

Xueqin, long time no see~"

[Mao Xuewang] was recorded in a community in Beijing. The venue was a normal residence. Gu Wei knocked on the door and entered the house to greet the two hosts.

What stands out about this variety show is its ease. There are no other staff in the room, only camera equipment arranged in every corner.

When there are no outsiders, everyone can chat freely.

In previous programs, the two hosts invited their friends to the program, and everyone interacted and chatted, which was very casual and relaxing.

Gu Wei should be considered Li Xueqin's friend. The two met last year when they were filming "Fifty Kilometers Taohuawu".

"Long time no see, Brother Wei!"

"Teacher Gu Wei, hello, I am Mao Buyi~"

The two hosts were obviously a little nervous when they saw Gu Wei.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"I brought some fruit and some dog food."

[Mao Xuewang] As the name suggests, Mao Buyi, Li Xueqin and a pet dog.

"I also brought a gift, thank you so much!" Mao Buyi quickly took what Gu Wei was holding.

The three of them walked to the living room and sat down. Mao Buyi and Li Xueqin stared at each other. Gu Wei looked at them and smiled and said, "Are you two nervous?"

"Well, it's true.

Before you came, we were discussing what to ask you when you arrived, but Maomao asked if we could get an autograph first."

Li Xueqin's words made Gu Wei laugh, and he turned to look at Mao Buyi on the other side.

"Actually, I've known you for a long time. I like your song [Xiaochou] very much, and I heard a friend of mine mention you before."

"Really? It's quite an honor!

I have always felt that Brother Wei, your failure to be a serious singer is a great loss to the Chinese music scene. I first liked you because of your songs," Mao Buyi said.

"Wait a minute, can I guess who the friend you mentioned about Maomao is?"

Li Xueqin realized that what Gu Wei just said would be a topical point and said quickly.

"Of course, it shouldn't be difficult to guess."

"It must be Sister Mi, she has been a guest of [Tomorrow's Sons]!"

Gu Wei smiled and nodded.

"You and Sister Mi should be very good friends, right?

You have worked together many times.”

After Li Xueqin finished speaking, Mao Buyi added: "Like [The Legend of Ancient Swords], [Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom] and [Xiu Chun Dao 2]."

"Yes, the first costume TV series I filmed after joining the industry was with Mi Jie, [Gu Jian Qi Tan].

It has been more than 9 years now.

We became very good friends after that drama, and then worked together on other dramas."

"I still remember that I was still in high school when [Gu Jian Qi Tan] was broadcast. The show was very popular at that time, and all the female classmates in our class were following it.

But later "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" became more popular, and I even knocked on your CP," Li Xueqin said.

"oh?

So are you talking about "Ancient Sword CP" or "White Night CP"? "

"Bai Ye, I still like [Three Lives Three Worlds] more, Bai Qian and Ye Hua are really sad, sad and sweet at the same time!

What about you, Maomao? "

"I also like [三生三世] more, because I think [Liangliang] sounds very good.

The version collaborated by Brother Wei and Zhang Bichen is perfect! "

Gu Wei thought of something and smiled: "When I mentioned [Liangliang], I remembered a very interesting thing from back then.

After filming "Three Lives Three Worlds", Sister Mi knew that the theme song was a male and female duet, so she insisted on giving it a try.

Later, I tried it with her twice, and after trying it, she gave up."

Li Xueqin grinned: "Isn't it bad for us to speak ill of Sister Mi here?"

Gu Wei waved his hand: "You underestimate Sister Mi.

If she came today, she would have said this herself.

When it comes to self-deprecation, no one in the circle can compare to her."

[Mao Xuewang]’s chat has no theme, and they talk about whatever comes to mind. Li Xueqin and Mao Buyi are not professional hosts, and sometimes the topic of conversation comes to them.

But precisely because of this, the guests on this show can say some things that they would not normally say in a more relaxed state.

"Brother Wei, you have a work released recently, right?"

Mao Buyi washed the fruits that Gu Wei brought, cut them into pieces, and brought them over. The three of them ate and chatted.

Li Xueqin still remembered that the director had told Gu Wei that he was here to promote the new drama, and he quickly mentioned it.

"[The Storm Chaser] will be broadcast on CCTV soon"

"What are you talking about?" Mao Buyi asked casually, taking a piece of strawberry and putting it in his mouth.

"Spy drama~"

"I saw the trailer starring you and Jin Dong," Li Xueqin said.

"Yes, there are other actors such as Wang Churan and Tian Xiwei."

"This seems to be your first spy drama, Brother Wei, right?"

Gu Wei nodded.

"I have done a lot of costume dramas and modern dramas, but this is definitely my first time doing a spy drama."

"Then how did you first think of taking on this show?"

“In fact, director Yao Xiaofeng got the script of [Wind Chaser] as early as 2018, but the project has been shelved because he failed to secure investment.

I received the script from him and felt that the story was very special and different from all the spy dramas I had seen before, so I decided to follow it."

"So you accepted this drama because of the script?" Mao Buyi asked.

"Obviously.

Just wait until the TV series starts and watch it, you won’t be disappointed! "

"I will definitely watch it. I have watched almost every one of Brother Wei's dramas."

Li Xueqin said with a smile.

"Brother Wei, I feel like you have a great sense of character when filming with every actress.

Often many actresses will gain some fame after working with you."

"You want to talk about the nickname given to me by netizens, right?" Gu Wei said with a smile.

"What's your nickname?" Mao Buyi blinked his little eyes and didn't get the point between the two of them.

Li Xueqin continued: "Internal entertainment daddy, named by netizens to Brother Wei.

Because whoever he cooperates with will become popular, and whoever he cooperates with will become popular! "

Gu Wei waved his hand: "It's only because the work is popular that the actor's fame can rise."

"Brother Wei, you have worked with so many actresses, who do you feel most comfortable working with?"

"If you ask that, I can only carry water.

Otherwise it would be too offending.

All I can say is that the actresses we collaborate with each have their own characteristics, and all of them are excellent! "(End of chapter)
