Chapter 896 Meng Ziyi's New Role
After the drinking party, Gu Wei felt a little tipsy.
But he is considered good, the others are in worse condition.
"Brother, come to my house someday. I have some good wine there."
The drunken Wu Jing patted Gu Wei's arm and said the last words, then got into the car with the help of Xie Nan who came to pick him up.
Others also left the restaurant with the help of assistants or family members.
The night is getting darker.
Gu Wei's nanny car soon arrived at [Fanyue 108 Apartment].
"You're back~"
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Reba came over happily.
She was wearing a tight black nightgown with lace trim, which highlighted her voluptuous and beautiful figure.
The white and tender feet stepped on the soft wool carpet, and a slender and tender white calf was revealed under the skirt.
Her jet-black hair was piled up high, her face was obviously washed and without makeup, and she wore a pair of black-framed glasses on her high nose, which made her already beautiful temperament even softer.
Gu Wei walked in, changed into slippers, held Reba's face and kissed her gently.
"Still up so late?"
In the past few days since he came back from North America, he has come to Reba almost every night.
“In fact, I just came back not long ago.”
The two of them walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down.
"Are you busy so late at work today?"
"No, my sister asked me to have dinner with her tonight, so I came back a little late."
"Sister Mi is back in the capital?" Gu Wei asked in surprise.
"She just came back these past two days. She finished recording the variety show and hasn't joined the crew for the new drama yet. She hasn't been busy recently."
Gu Wei smiled and said, "It seems like you two talked a lot~"
“Because of my busy work, my sister and I haven’t been together for a long time.
She originally asked me to go sing karaoke after dinner, but I said I had work to do early the next day so I turned it down."
Overall, the dinner with Yang Mi in the evening was very happy. Reba has been in the industry for quite some time, but she doesn’t have many friends, and Yang Mi is one of them.
Especially in the first few years after entering Jiaxing, Yang Mi always supported her, and the relationship between the two was the closest during that period.
Now that he is becoming more and more popular, and even on par with his boss in terms of fame and status, the feeling between the two of them can never go back to the way it was before.
Although they are still good friends and sisters on the surface, an invisible barrier has already formed between them.
"I'm leaving in two days. The new drama will start shooting in Hainan." Gu Wei hugged Reba's slender and soft waist.
The other person leaned in his arms, feeling sweet and soft, her skin as white and tender as a peeled egg.
"I know. You told me about that movie before, "Extreme Rescue"~"
"Will you join the group in the second half of the year?"
“There are no plans at the moment.
Because of the popularity of John Wick 4, my resources have improved a lot recently. My team has received many invitations to new dramas recently, but I haven’t decided which one to take yet.”
At this point, Reba looked up at Gu Wei and asked, "Has the release date of The Wandering Earth 2, which I filmed in the first half of the year, been set?"
"What a coincidence! Guo Fan is at tonight's dinner party. We have also discussed it. If nothing unexpected happens, this movie will be released during the Spring Festival next year!"
In fact, Reba had asked Gu Wei about the release date of "The Wandering Earth 2" a few months ago, but the film had just been completed at that time, and Gu Wei just made a simple analysis. Given the size of this film, it could only be released during the summer vacation and the Spring Festival.
Now that he said this, it means that the release date has most likely been decided.
“Has the post-production of [The Wandering Earth 2] been completed?”
"The main editing has been completed, and there is still some rendering work to be done. The film will be ready in one or two months."
"Can I watch the movie first after it's finished?" Reba is still very much looking forward to this top domestic science fiction blockbuster in which she participated.
"No problem at all.
I’ll show you then~”
Gu Wei agreed, lowered his head slightly and kissed Reba's white neck twice.
"You smell of alcohol, go take a shower first~
I've already put in the hot water."
Because of Gu Wei's intimate actions, the fair skin on Reba's neck turned slightly red, and she said with a delicate hum.
"Okay, then you come with me~"
“I had already washed it when I came back.”
"It's okay~"
Gu Wei stood up and gently pulled Reba, who followed him to the bathroom somewhat helplessly.
The next day, in the president's office of Wei Ming Tian Xia.
“Thank you for your hard work these past few months~”
Gu Wei brewed the Gongfu tea smoothly, and after completing all the steps, the golden tea was poured into two beautiful cups.
"It's not hard. The company has given me such a good project to complete, and Director Wen is here to help me. I must do my best to do my best, so as not to disappoint the boss and the company!"
Cui Rui, who was sitting opposite him, looked tired. He picked up the teacup, blew it gently, and took a small sip.
In mid-August, the filming of "The Accidental Murderer 8" was completed. He returned to the company with the crew and the filmed materials. During this period, he has been busy with the post-production editing of the film.
"I have always seen your efforts. The previous web series [Detective Chinatown] and [The Love Master 2] were both good.
I believe that this time [Manslaughter 2] will also have a good result."
Gu Wei also picked up the teacup and took a sip, praising with a smile on his face.
"Don't worry, Mr. Gu. I have the confidence to make this movie a success. I will not let the good reputation of the Manslaughter series fall on my hands!"
Cui Rui patted his chest and made the assurance, and Gu Wei smiled and nodded.
"Did I ask Mr. Yang to show you the script?"
Cui Rui's spirits perked up a little when he talked about this: "I've read it. It's a very interesting book. I feel that the narrative style is somewhat similar to [Manslaughter]."
Gu Wei nodded.
"Before filming Manslaughter 2, I told you that I would ask you to direct a new movie, which is this one, Her.
This script is adapted from the former Soviet Union film "Trap for Bachelors". You can watch the original movie when you have time.
Once the post-production of "The Accidental Murderer 2" is completed, you can start preparing for this new movie.
The crew members communicated with Mr. Zhao, and the company would meet any needs.
By the way, I will play the male lead “He Fei” in the film. ”
Cui Rui was mentally prepared for what Gu Wei said.
After getting the script of "Gone Girl", he was very much looking forward to this movie.
Since joining Wei Ming Tian Xia, Cui Rui has directed two films, namely The Love Master 2 and The Accidental Murderer 2. The Love Master 2, which has already been released, has done well at the box office, and he has also used this opportunity to get rid of his identity as a new director.
However, both films were sequels, and Wen Mu played a big role in them.
He is grateful for Director Wen's help, but he hopes that an independently directed film can be successful.
Now the film "Her Disappearance" given by Gu Wei is a perfect opportunity.
The script and story are good on the one hand, but the main thing is that the boss himself stars in the film. This is like playing a game where your teammates are all-knowing and you win without any effort!
"Don't worry, Mr. Gu, I will definitely prepare well for the filming of this drama.
As for the production crew, we can just use the same crew from Manslaughter 2. We have worked together on two dramas, so it is more convenient to use them!"
Cui Rui first expressed his determination, then thought for a moment and asked, "In addition to the male lead, there are several other characters with relatively important roles in [She Vanished]. What do you think about the casting?"
"The female lead "Chen Mai" is going to be played by Ni Ni. I have already told her about it. I will just send her an invitation later.
The Chinese policeman "Zheng Cheng" should use Li County.
As for the "fake Li Muzi".
Do you have any good suggestions?" Gu Wei thought for a moment and threw the question back to Cui Rui.
The original version of this role was played by Janice Man.
This Hong Kong female star, who debuted as a young model like Baby, is a rare talent with excellent acting skills.
She played the original "fake Li Muzi" very well.
However, Gu Wei never thought of looking for her. He has so many female artists under his management, and it doesn't make sense to give such a role to an outsider.
Cui Rui also understood what his boss meant. If he was asked to give advice, he should choose from among the actresses under the company. Isn't it better to keep the money within the family?
"The fake Li Muzi plays a "femme fatale" in the movie. Her main job is to constantly pressure and stimulate He Fei through acting, break down his inner defenses, and force him to tell the truth.
According to this setting, people like Zhou Ye and Tian Xiwei, who are too young and have sweet looks, are not suitable.
Nazha, Zhang Tianai and Meng Ziyi all fit the bill in terms of image. As for acting, I have only worked with Zhang Tianai before, so she will definitely be fine."
Cui Rui stopped talking here and looked up at Gu Wei.
“Let’s use Meng Ziyi. With her acting skills, there shouldn’t be any problem with this role.
She just happens to be a beautiful type in terms of appearance!"
Gu Wei also understood what he meant. He thought about it for a moment and made the decision.
Nazha is pretty enough, but her acting skills are not good enough, and Gu Wei is afraid that she can't support the role.
Moreover, she herself was not very enthusiastic about filming and had been just slacking off, just wanting me to take her out to play.
Zhang Tianai just finished filming two movies this year, "The Wandering Earth 2" and "The Accidental Detective 2", both of which she played the leading role. Her film resources are really too good, and she is not bad for "Her" anymore.
As an artist under the same company, we can’t give all the good resources to her.
Meng Ziyi hasn't had any other works that went viral since "The East Palace". Her popularity in the past two years has been supported by the variety show "Fifty Kilometers Peach Blossom Village", which just happened to give her the opportunity to perform in "She's a Girl".
"As for the other characters in the movie, you decide."
"Understood~"
After finishing a pot of tea, Cui Rui stood up and said goodbye.
Gu Wei sat in the office and thought for a while, then asked his assistant to call Yang Liwen over.
"September is coming soon. [A Thousand Miles Home] is scheduled to be released during this year's National Day. How is the company's publicity and promotion preparation going?"
Yang Liwen thought for a moment and said: "This movie is jointly released by us and China Film.
China Film Group is mainly responsible for offline promotion and scheduling, while our company is responsible for online publicity and crew roadshows.
The publicity department decided to release the first poster and trailer on September 9, and then gradually warm up on the Internet.
The specific promotion plan will be sent back to your mailbox."
Gu Wei nodded.
"I just talked to Director Cui about the company's new movie this year [The Vanishing Girl].
I have decided to cast Li Xian and Meng Ziyi to play two important roles in the film~"
After he said that, Yang Liwen's face lit up with joy.
She was very clear about the movie "Her" and it was one of the two most important projects of the company in the second half of the year.
The most important thing is that it stars Gu Wei, and it’s a movie that’s sure to be a box office hit in the future.
She was also very happy that Li Xian and Meng Ziyi had this opportunity.
"Understood. I will discuss this with Director Cui and arrange the actors' schedules~"
Changsha, Mango TV.
The recording of [Hello Saturday] has ended and Meng Ziyi is resting backstage.
She hasn't been in any production crew recently and has taken on a lot of variety shows.
However, his fame and popularity have not been affected at all, but have shown a trend of getting better and better.
According to her agent, her silly beauty character is currently very likable and the audience likes this type of person.
Meng Ziyi was quite dissatisfied with this, saying that she had no objection to her being a beauty, but where did the idiot come from.
And this is not a character setting, this is just her personality and it’s not an act.
"Sister Meng, do you have time to have dinner together tonight?"
After the program was recorded, one of the hosts, Wang Hedi, came over to invite us.
"Teacher He Jiong asked you to come?" Meng Ziyi looked up at him.
"No, Teacher He didn't say that.
I thought we haven’t seen each other for a long time, let’s get together.”
Wang Hedi did not come to this season of [Taohuawu] because they had little overlap in work, and he and Meng Ziyi had indeed not seen each other for a long time.
"Is there anyone else?" Meng Ziyi hesitated.
They did have a good relationship when recording "Taohuawu", but she would definitely not go if Wang Hedi was the only one there.
Earlier this month, "Cang Lan Jue" was launched and broadcast on iQiyi, and Wang Hedi and Yu Shuxin became famous overnight thanks to this drama.
Their current CP "Di Xin Gravity" is very popular.
If the paparazzi caught her having dinner alone with Wang Hedi, she would be scolded by fans, and Meng Ziyi didn't want to bring bad luck upon herself.
"Call Xueqin to come together, and then call Qin Xiaoxian~" Wang Hedi also saw her concerns.
Meng Ziyi was a little hesitant, as she did have a good relationship with Li Xueqin.
At this time, Meng Ziyi's agent came over and was about to say something, but saw Wang Hedi on the side did not open his mouth, but turned to look at him.
"Um, you guys chat, I'll go find Xueqin and Lao Qin, we'll chat on WeChat later~" Wang Hedi was also very tactful. He said something to Meng Ziyi and turned to leave.
"Sister Han, what's the matter?"
Han Meng is the agent assigned to Meng Ziyi by the company after she became famous. She has been helping her connect with various resources and jobs.
"I just received a message from President Yang that the company has chosen you as the lead actor in an important project in the second half of the year!"
"real?
Movie or TV series? "Meng Ziyi was also very surprised.
Everyone knows that the projects controlled by [Wei Ming Tian Xia] are the top productions in the industry, and as long as you can participate in them, you will gain a lot.
“The movie is called “She Vanished”.
The film has been confirmed to be directed by Director Cui Rui from the company, and the boss will play the leading male role! "
“My senior brother plays the male lead, it’s great!
So what role was given to me, the female lead?"
The agent shook his head.
"She's said to be the second female lead, but I heard her role isn't much different from the female lead."
"Is there a script?" Meng Ziyi asked.
"Yes, the company has sent it to your work email~"
Seeing that Meng Ziyi was still immersed in this good news, the agent hesitated: “Are you on good terms with Wang Hedi?”
"Ah? It's okay. We met at Taohuawu. We got along pretty well at the time, but we don't keep in touch much after the show."
Mencius meant to speak the truth.
Her best relationships are with her best friend Zhou Ye from the same company, as well as female stars such as Wang Churan and Song Yanfei.
“Wang Hedi is very popular now, but his popularity is only temporary, and whether he can maintain it depends on his subsequent works.
I don't recommend you to have too much contact with him. If rumors spread, it will have a bad impact on you.
Especially now he has an official CP."
Meng Ziyi nodded.
"I know, he asked me to have dinner together in the evening, and I sent a WeChat message to reject him.
Go back to the hotel to read the script at night!" (End of this chapter)
