Chapter 124: Hype
Director Feng was upset by Hou Fuxiu's "unspoken rules", and Gu Wu at home also had a terrible headache.
"The Biography" is a novel based on a real person, which proves that if Gu Wu wants to portray this character well, she must read the character's life and the original book seriously.
The original book is okay and reads it as a novel, but the real historical life of such a thing took Gu Wu's life.
If this character appears in historical documents, but more often than not, it is her image in the wild history.
In terms of the patriarchal view of ancient China, many of them use negative words such as "****" and "guilty" to describe her. But Gu Wu knew in her heart that a woman could stand out in the harem and support two generations of emperors to sit firmly in the country, and her political wisdom would definitely not be inferior to that of her contemporaries. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to climb into that position, and she wouldn't have been able to sit on the chair under her ass.
After Gu Wu finished reading the novel, she looked everywhere for such a life, but unfortunately there are not many people who study this queen mother, and she is not a famous female emperor like Wu Zetian, and if she controls the government for a short time, she is more hidden behind the bead curtain and indirectly maintains the government through the emperor's means.
There is little information to study her, so Gu Wu can only often go to the reading library or check the Internet. A week before the start of the film, Gu Wu found a whole stack of materials for the experience of such a character.
It is not only the evaluation of this person, but also the study of the period of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, after all, it was still relatively unfamiliar to most ordinary Chinese people at that time.
How to dress, how to eat, how to speak, and what etiquette to use, these Gu Wu have made a general understanding. Although it may not be all right, at least I don't know anything about that dynasty.
In fact, these Gu Wu will prepare before the start of filming every time a new drama, the difference is that the important roles in the movie are all modern dramas, and the only two ancient scenes Gu Wu can play a role that can not be played much.
After full preparation, Gu Wu waved goodbye to Hou Fuxiu and got on the southbound plane and went to Hengguo.
Hengguo can be said to be the second home of many actors, and they stay even longer than their own home. Gu Wu is an exception, she basically didn't shoot movies in Hengguo, and when she came here again, Gu Wu remembered the tricky life during the summer vacation of her freshman year.
Gu Wu lives in a three-bedroom apartment in the hotel, which is not only spacious but also has a small kitchen, if you don't want to go out to eat, you can buy it back and make it yourself.
Xiaoyu is very happy, in fact, the conditions are not as good as in Hengguo when they make movies, after all, TV dramas have formed a complete industrial chain in Hengguo, and there are many stars who naturally provide a lot of services for stars.
On the contrary, when filming movies, they are all filmed in some places with very bad conditions, such as the later stage of "Looking for People", not to mention this kind of suite hotel, just to find a clean hotel has to walk for two hours, and I can't stand it anymore, so I can only rent a villager's house and use it as a sleeping place.
So this time, several people were very happy to have this kind of environment.
In addition to Xiaoyu, there is also an acquaintance who followed Gu Wu to Hengdian this time, and that is Sister Zhao. Because she cooked a good dish and got along well with Gu Wu, Hou Fuxiu transferred her from the island and asked her to follow Gu Wu, in addition to taking care of her every day, Gu Wu could also practice English with Sister Zhao. ,
In addition to this, there is also a bodyguard and driver, Hou Fuxiu calls him Alai, his father is American, and his mother is a Vietnamese Chinese. According to Hou Fuxiu, he entered the Blackwater Company as a professional soldier after retiring from the United States, and was taken by Hou Fuxiu during an escort, but Alai was unwilling to leave and refused his invitation. A year later, during an operation, he injured a tendon and was unable to perform his duties. Hou Fuxiu took the initiative to find him after he found out.
This person is about thirty years old, and he doesn't talk much on weekdays, but he stands behind Gu Wu all the time to prevent someone from rushing out inexplicably. Because he is also an overseas Chinese in Vietnam, he and Sister Zhao get along very well, the difference is that Sister Zhao can speak Chinese but does not know Chinese characters, while Alai's Chinese ability is estimated to be better than many Chinese.
Gu Yue asked him curiously how a born and raised American Alai Chinese would be so good, and later he explained that Alai's mother was originally the eldest lady during the Republic of China, and she emigrated to Vietnam to escape the war. In Vietnam, she met her husband, who was studying Chinese history and also hiding from the war, and the two lived in Vietnam for five or six years before returning to the United States.
So living in this kind of family since he was a child, Alai received a traditional Chinese education from an early age, and he once said that he would use a pencil after a long time before he could use a brush.
But it's a pity that both of his parents died in a car accident when he was in middle school, otherwise Alai is expected to go to another life.
Alai's birth made Sister Zhao, who was also born, feel the same way, and the two quickly became acquainted. Often Chinese and English are mixed with speaking, so don't say Gu Wu during this time, even Xiaoyu has to come out with a few words of English from time to time.
There are three bedrooms, one for Gu Wu, Xiaoyu and Sister Zhao, and Alai lives next door and lives in the same room with the executive of the crew. Gu Wu was afraid that he was not used to being prepared to pay for him to open a room alone, but was rejected by Alai, he said, where was there so much attention when he went out on a mission before? A team of more than 20 people slept in the same room for several years.
Since he didn't care about it, Gu Wu naturally didn't mention it, but only said that everyone would come over and eat together during dinner, as long as he went back when he went to sleep.
After the life was arranged, Gu Wu entered the group the next day to prepare for makeup.
Because it is the heroine, there are many changes in the costumes in each period, and it took a whole day just to set the makeup, from the cardamom years when she entered the palace at the age of fourteen to the old age when she was the queen mother, and the characters spanned half a century.
This has to be said to be a big challenge for Gu Wan, after all, she has never played this genre.
At the same time, Feng Ranxin was sitting in the lounge, smoking a cigarette while reading the script, he raised his head and pointed to the densely written script full of annotations and asked, "This is Gu Wu's?" ”
Xiao Yu hurriedly came up and nodded, "Yes, what's wrong, director?" ”
Because Gu Wu doesn't like too many people around her when filming, Sister Zhao generally doesn't follow, but just delivers food to Gu Wu on time. And Alai only accompanies her in and out of the crew, and when filming starts, Alai usually waits outside or does his own thing.
Feng Ranxin put down the script, raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, and after glancing at the script that had been turned over with raw edges, he left the lounge slowly with his hands behind his back.
made Xiaoyu look at him inexplicably.
After trying on the makeup photos for a day, it was getting late, and as soon as Gu Wu returned to the hotel, she heard the voices of the two of them talking through the crack in an unclosed door in the corridor.
Gu Wu stopped and looked at Xiao Yumian face.
"What do you say is the origin of Gu Wu? Why did Director Feng's heroine decide her? You said that I was really unlucky, I originally thought that Director Feng's drama was also played by a person at the level of a movie queen like Xia Lan, and no matter how bad it was, it was also a person with qualifications and achievements in the TV circle like Wei Yi. Airborne a Gu is really sad for me. ”
Another voice rang out: "yes, I'm worried too." Originally, I thought that those front-line ones were of a certain age, and I wouldn't lose playing her sister. can know that the heroine is Gu Wu, and she almost wants to vomit blood on the spot. “
"Ding Yue, I didn't say you, you said that you have been mixed up for seven or eight years, and you are still spinning in the fourth and fifth lines. Look at Gu Wu, she is still a year younger than you, don't talk about the movie, the female number one in the airborne TV series. Tsk, look at other people's methods, I told you to let you share it with your boyfriend, and the little salary you get every month is not enough for you to buy a bag. Why bother? Our business is as powerful as red and white, are you guarding your boyfriend to help him support his family? Or can he help you? “
The female voice named Ding Yue replied a little weakly: "But ...... But I can't help it, can't I? Do you really think it's that easy to find a gold owner? Have our classmates been deceived less? Back then, our class was not so angry that she found a financier who was said to be able to invest money in her to start a drama, what was the result? After being kicked out, I couldn't even get along in the entertainment industry, and I was not popular, not to mention being blown up ****. Although my boyfriend doesn't have much money, he can be with him at ease. ”
"You're going to have a good time!"
"Hey, what do you say is that Gu Sister-in-law? Director Feng's joke that the heroine is the heroine? If the actress Xia Lan comes over, we can still understand, after all, although Xia Lan's TV series results are not very good, she is already held by two actresses. and Wei Yi, she is average in the film industry, but the average ratings of TV dramas have never been lower. That Gu Wu is also a little famous in the film industry, but she has no ratings at all. ”
"yes, who knows? I have a piece of grapevine though. ”
Angry and obviously excited: "What is it?" “
"It is said that Gu Wu and Wei Yi are at odds."
"Oh my God? Why? One acts in movies, the other focuses on TV series, and the two don't communicate at all, right? Could it be that Gu Wu was bullied by Wei Yi when she was a young actor? ”
"Where is it so complicated? When Gu Yi played a small supporting role for Wei Yi, she was not even qualified to be bullied by Wei Yi, I heard that Wei Yi's ex-boyfriend fell in love with Gu Yi and praised Gu Yi for a while. Later, Wei Yi estimated that the old relationship was difficult to break, and snatched the man back. ”
Then the two let out a few well-known giggles.
Gu Yu held down the little fish who wanted to push the door, shook her head gently at her and left the corridor.
Xiao Yu returned to the room in a huff, sat on the sofa and muttered, "You should push the door in and scold them to death, who of them would dare to say that about you?" ”
Gu Wu smiled: "Can you plug the mouths of one or two people, can you block everyone's mouths?" ”
Sister Zhao was stir-frying in the kitchen when she heard the two of them talking and walked out.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Wu motioned for Xiao Yu not to say anything, she shook her head and said calmly, "It's nothing." ”
After eating in the evening, Gu Wu took out the tablet and typed the names of the two into the cast.
Ding Rui and Zhou Wanru.
Ding Rui has relatively little information, she has made a lot of films but they are all supporting roles, and she belongs to the kind of actors who often watch TV that people will recognize but can't name.
What surprised Gu Wu was Zhou Wanru.
This person............ Well, Gu Wu feels that there are some similarities with her previous life, taking the topic route, and her works have never been her foundation in the entertainment industry.
flipped through her Weibo and found that Zhou Wanru was higher than herself in terms of both the number of fans and her activity, Gu Wan thought to herself, no wonder it was so difficult to accept being a supporting role in her eyes.
In addition, what amazed her was that this Zhou Wanru was also a good hand at stirring up scandals, and there was no positive news on the first two pages of her name, all of which were suspected of being with her and who she was having dinner with.
Of course, actresses who take this kind of topic have always had a bad reputation. Sure enough, except for the only one front sticker, it's all her anti bar. (Negative, boycott type stickers, generally built by black fans)
However, Gu Wu in the previous life was painful in her heart for the way to increase her popularity with scandals, and she belonged to the type of person who fell deeper and deeper involuntarily, and after reading Zhou Wanru's Weibo, Gu Wu felt that she actually enjoyed using this way to attract people's attention.
Because Gu Wu found that every time she went to a play, she had to cooperate with actors with very high frequency during the promotion period. The words are also very ambiguous, of course, the actor who was her sometimes left a message under her Weibo, and some people don't.
What surprised Gu Wu was that she had passed Yang Zhengming many times, at that time, Yang Zhengming was not as popular as she is now, but there were many fans, and there was absolutely no shortage of fans for actors like Yang Zhengming. When they saw Zhou Wanru writing words that were analogue and hyped up with their idols, they immediately exploded, and tore up directly under Zhou Wanru's Weibo.
Gu Wu flipped through the messages, basically all of them were Yang Zhengming's fans, they didn't like Zhou Wanru, a female star with a bad reputation, to associate with Yang Zhengming, and they quarreled with Zhou Wanru's few fans as soon as they came and went.
Zhou Wanru even replied to the quarreling fans under the message, but Gu Wan looked at her tone and looked like she was stirring up trouble.
Gu Wu flipped through it again and found that Wanru was really powerful this week, tying up Yang Zhengming, the hottest little student, for half a year, and she didn't know that tens of thousands of articles had been posted, but Yang Zhengming had always treated her as air, and the paparazzi hadn't taken anything for a year. It won't be long before this kind of scandal without evidence will cool down.
Now almost no one is associating Yang Zhengming with Zhou Wanru. I have to say that sometimes silence in the circle is also a way to cope. When you say that everything is wrong, it is better to not say a word. After all, a scandal is just a scandal.
After Gu Wan got a good way to deal with it, she looked at it again and found that in addition to Yang Zhengming, Zhou Wanru found a lot of people, and Gu Wan could understand the way she hyped up, after all, she was also an expert in scandal speculation in her previous life.
To put it simply, there are generally two ways to stir up scandals, one is that both parties say that they will hype up and publicize together. Then make an appointment for dinner and ask an agent or paparazzi to take a few photos. Generally, this kind of photo can be said to be a gathering of friends, or it can be said that a couple is dating, it all depends on what you think.
The second type is more responsive, because not everyone is willing to use their private life to hype, if one party is too popular than the other, then the scandal is completely to help Xiao Transparent increase exposure. So unless there is a good personal relationship, few people are willing to agree to very popular celebrities. (To be continued.) )
