Chapter 59: Li Xiaowan
Time flies, and it's fast to mid-November.
It's snowing in the capital today.
It was the first snow of 2000, a little earlier than usual.
The filming of "My Sassy Girlfriend" has entered the middle stage, and half of the plot has been completed.
Except for the late night play on the first day, for the next ten days, almost every few days, reporters will come to visit the class every day.
Most of the reporters were arranged by China Film, and this has begun to enter the publicity stage of the film.
It's very important to maintain the exposure of the movie, even if the quality of your film is good, the audience will not buy it if they don't know about it, and they don't know about it.
Every few days, Entertainment will publish the filming process of the film, interspersed with some shooting tidbits, short videos such as interaction with newcomer actors, etc., all of which will be broadcast on TV entertainment programs.
Under Gu Zhi's intentional guidance, the objectives of the interview were mainly focused on Gao Yuanyuan.
The pure and lovely "Qingzui Girl" is known to the public, and this time she suddenly appeared in a movie, and the role is completely opposite to the character, such a change is easy to attract the attention of the audience.
The selling point of this movie is the character of Song Mingxi, so most of the publicity must hit Gao Yuanyuan, so that she can leave a deep enough impression in the minds of the public, whether it is appearance or personality, then the purpose of publicity has been achieved.
The scene to be filmed today is the plot of Song Mingxi's birthday, and most of the shots were filmed on the campus of Beiying.
Early in the morning, the crew drove to Beiying, but Gu Zhi was the only one missing.
He had other tasks today, so he had to take a day off and rush to another college in the capital.
The crew has Liu Qi and Lu Chuan in control of the overall situation, Gu Zhi is not worried that there will be problems, and last night he had a meeting with several main creators until late at night, and carefully explained the scenes to be filmed today, with Lu Chuan's strength, as long as the shooting is carried out as planned, it will definitely not be a problem.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Gu Zhi took a taxi to the Chinese opera, and he came here today to find Tang Wei, for private affairs and official business.
Since the last time Gu advised her not to sign a contract with another company for the time being, she has devoted herself to the production of new movies, and she is busy every day, and the two have a lot less contact, and there is no chance to meet once.
Relying on his promise that there was no guarantee, he tied Tang Wei, and Gu Zhi was worried that she would inevitably not have other ideas after a long time.
And there have been so many reports about "My Sassy Girlfriend" recently, the heroine Gao Yuanyuan's popularity is getting higher and higher day by day, and Gao Yuanyuan has become the new favorite in Gu Zhi's hands in the description of gossip media.
If the movie doesn't look for Tang Wei to star, it doesn't matter if she praises another newcomer so much, and Gao Yuanyuan is still so beautiful, Tang Wei will wonder if Gu Zhi has left her aside, and the previous promise will inevitably become a little false.
In fact, the situation Tang Wei is facing now is even more complicated.
"What? are you still unwilling?"
Under a hidden wall in the teaching building of the Chinese Opera Small Theater, a young woman with short hair, light eyebrows and big eyes, holding a black briefcase in her right arm and a large black umbrella in her left hand, was looking at Tang Wei with a frown.
Tang Wei lowered his head, holding a folding umbrella with a pale pattern in his right hand, looked up at her from time to time, and quickly lowered his head, shook it slowly, and did not speak.
"The contract we gave you is not much worse than Zhou Xun, look at how much Zhou Xun's popularity has increased since she came to our company? She starred in "Daming Palace Ci" directed by Sister Shaohong, and then won the Golden Eagle Award for the most popular actress. β
"The strength of the company is no worse than that of Huayi, and the company will have a lot of projects to shoot in the future, and Sister Shaohong's TV series will be launched every year. β
"After you join the company, there will definitely be heroines in the next two TV series in the next two years, I can put my words here, the resources you can get will definitely not be worse than Zhou Xun. β
Tang Wei still hesitated, and said weakly: "Sister Zhou Xun is one of the four little flowers, how can I compare with her... Sister Shaowan, don't joke with me, I still have self-knowledge. Moreover, I have promised classmate Gu a long time ago. β
Speaking of Gu Zhi, a sweet smile flashed at the corner of her mouth, and even her tone became more gentle: "He said that he will write a TV series next year, I can pick any role at will, and let me hone my acting skills at school this year." β
"Hmmm... I... I'll wait for him. β
Tang Wei finally raised her head to meet the woman's gaze, and her clear eyes seemed to tell her her determination.
This young woman is Li Xiaowan, one of the founders of the Beijing Film and Television Company Rong Xinda and a gold medal producer.
She and director Li Shaohong founded Rongxinda Company in 95 years, and the two strange women did not let their eyebrows grow, and the company grew step by step in their hands, and has now become one of the leading film and television companies in the mainland.
Chen Kun and Zhou Xun, who are popular at the moment, are all signed artists of Rong Xinda, and this time Li Shaowan came to Tang Wei in person, and also took a fancy to this good embryo, and wanted to take advantage of the peak of her popularity to cultivate the company's third youth idol-level artist.
Li Shaowan's eyes flashed with a trace of disdain and mockery, shook his head in disbelief, and said coldly:
"You actually put your future in the entertainment industry on a milky man who has not dried up... No, it's a boy, I think you're blinded by lard. β
Hearing her say this about Gu Zhi, Tang Wei immediately became reluctant in his heart, and hurriedly argued for Gu Zhi: "What's wrong with Gu Zhi's youth, the box office of his first movie surpassed Feng Xiaogang, and now that the second movie has started shooting, I believe that he will definitely not be worse than anyone else in the future!"
Tang Wei made a loud noise, his forehead raised by half a point, his eyes did not back down, and he looked directly at Li Xiaowan.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiaowan smiled in amazement, and the sarcasm at the corner of her mouth became even stronger.
She snorted coldly and said softly: "I also believe that this kid has a bright future in the future, but, Tang Wei, Tang Wei, why are you so naΓ―ve?
Tang Wei's originally tough expression suddenly became stunned, and a trace of panic suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he subconsciously avoided Li Xiaowan's gaze.
"Sister Shaohong and I have been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and we have come through ups and downs, can a man's mind escape my eyes?"
"He wants to keep you by his side, it's nothing more than coveting your beauty, who can mix smoothly in the entertainment industry, which one is not like this? You are young and beautiful now, maybe he likes it very much, but as soon as you are over thirty years old, he will immediately kick you away. β
Tang Wei's face has changed several times, she has now stepped into the entertainment industry with one foot, and she has also seen a little bit of what she has seen and heard in the circle.
It can be said that how glamorous the entertainment industry is on the surface, how chaotic it is on the inside.
Coupled with Li Xiaowan's words, as an old-timer in the circle, there is no doubt about the weight of these words.
"Is he really like that?"
Li Xiaowan saw that Tang Wei's mind began to waver, and immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue.
"And this classmate of yours is even more unreliable than other men, and it has only been a month since I kicked you away and found a little girl who looks like a fairy. Now the entertainment page is full of news about that "clear-mouthed girl" every day, don't you understand?"
"I..."
Tang Wei opened his mouth to defend himself, but found that he had nothing to say.
She's right, she's right. Why... Why didn't Gu let me act in his new movie?"
Tang Wei was constantly questioning himself and questioning Gu Zhi, and his heart was already in a mess.
Li Xiaowan showed a smug look, stepped forward, and grabbed Tang Weizheng's small hand holding the corner of his clothes.
Her palms were drenched in sweat.
"Think about it, are you worse than that Gao Yuanyuan? Why did Gu Zhi ask her to be the starring role? Can't you guess the inside story?"
"Don't lie to yourself, this kind of man is not worth your trust at all!"
