China Entertainment's whatever you want

The Weibo Night event has ended, but the public opinion is in an uproar, with wave after wave of discussion.

The most discussed topics are undoubtedly Gu Wei, Liu Yifei, and Yang Mi, but many netizens and fans are also focusing on other things.

For example, are "Dixin Gravity" really together?

It was a pity that the three members could not share the stage despite being at the same event due to business commitments.

Yang Zi and Dilraba, both top female celebrities born in the 90s, received awards on the same stage, while Li Xian became an awkward dividing line.
Many fans of celebrities also looked for shots of their idols during the three-hour Weibo Night event.

"Your exposure is too low; you didn't benefit from the traffic generated by Weibo Night at all."

Tian Xiwei's agent said to their artist while scrolling through some news on the internet these past two days.

"That's normal. The Weibo Night event has big names like the boss, Liu Yifei, and Mi Jie, as well as top-tier celebrities with extremely high popularity like Xiao Zhan, Zeng Shunxi, and TFBOYS. How could there be any traffic for a small star like me?"

Xiao Tian didn't take her manager's words seriously; she was still regretting that she hadn't been able to speak with her boss at the Weibo Night event.

'It seems the boss went to Hengdian to film a movie. Should I go visit the set sometime?'

Would that be presumptuous?

The agent looked at his artist, who seemed lost in thought, and felt a sense of disappointment and frustration.

The stars under [Wei Ming Tian Xia] each have their own teams, and even if they haven't established personal studios, their basic setup is already in place.

The future of agents and even other staff members around celebrities are tied to the celebrities themselves.

"Don't underestimate yourself. We have the foundation of 'Joy of Life'. After the broadcast of 'Qingqing Daily Life', you were already among the top actresses of the same period."

We have plenty of work to show; I think we can focus on the red carpet in the future to attract more attention!

Tian Xi looked up in surprise: "Red carpet? I'm not a stunning beauty like Dilraba or Gulnazar."

She has a strong, natural beauty; with a little dressing up and wearing high-end custom-made clothing, she becomes a red carpet goddess.

How could I possibly compare?

The agent looked at Xiaotian and touched her chin. She had been managing Tian Xiwei for more than two years and knew her artist's strengths and weaknesses.

"So next time you walk the red carpet or attend a similar gala, wear a low-cut dress and show off your assets."

Her sexy figure and sweet face create a striking contrast, definitely eye-catching!

Xiao Tian lowered his head slightly: "Will this work?"

"It will definitely work, it's just a matter of changing the style."

"Our company has so many female celebrities; if you don't showcase your talents, how will the boss notice you?"

Speaking of the boss, Xiao Tian was also somewhat tempted and nodded unconsciously.

After convincing his own artist's agent, he took a script from the side.

"The new drama on iQiyi was found for you by the company."

The character setting suits you perfectly; it's a light comedy, just like "Qingqing's Daily Life."

Tian Xiwei looked at the three large characters "Tian Gengji" on the cover of the script and curiously opened it.

Hengdian.

After Gu Wei joined the crew, filming officially began for the TV series "Lotus Pavilion".

The drama was in preparation as early as 2020, but it was delayed again and again due to Gu Wei's personal schedule issues.

Director Guo Hu contacted "Wei Ming Tian Xia" several times to urge them to start filming, but the final reply he received was just to wait a little longer.

In fact, Gu Wei had considered giving up on directing the series himself and letting someone else act in it.

In the end, I persevered because I liked the notebook.

【Lotus Pavilion】is adapted from the novel 【Auspicious Lotus Pavilion】, which can also be called "The Poor Itinerant Doctor's Case-Solving Story".

In traditional martial arts novels, the protagonist is usually an ordinary person at the beginning. Through various adventures, he learns unparalleled martial arts skills, helps the weak and fights against evil, and eventually becomes a great hero.

The most typical example is Jin Yong's martial arts novels, such as Guo Jing, Yang Guo, and Zhang Wuji.

But the Lotus Pavilion is different.

The opening scene of "Li Xiangyi" already exuded a high level of sophistication.

He was a martial arts prodigy from a young age and became the number one master in the world at the age of 15.

He founded the Sigu Sect at the age of 17 and became the youngest martial arts leader in history at the age of 20.

For many years, the fight against injustice and the support of the weak have been a source of strength for countless people.

However, at the peak of his career, he was involved in a conspiracy and fought a fierce battle with his nemesis, Di Feisheng, and was eventually poisoned and fell into the sea.

From then on, the world's number one doctor, "Li Xiangyi," died, and the martial arts world gained a fake divine doctor, "Li Lianhua," who was indifferent to fame and fortune.

Ten years later, he met his number one fanboy, "Talkative Young Master" Fang Duobing, and also reunited with his nemesis from a past life, "Di Feisheng".

With different motives, the three ventured into the martial world once again.

The male protagonist of 【Lotus Pavilion】 is not a typical character who grows from the peak to the trough, and then re-enters the martial arts world, giving a sense of exhilarating "the return of the strong".

The 10 interconnected cases in the series range from the thrilling and bizarre "Wedding Dress Murder Case" to the unpredictable and treacherous "First-Class Tomb Case," each case is full of twists and turns and is incredibly exciting.

Inside a green screen studio, on a large, fully-built wooden ship, two figures are suspended by wires and fighting back and forth.

The one in white, wielding a sword, is dashing and elegant; the one in black, using a knife, is cold and imposing. These are Gu Wei, who plays "Li Xiangyi," and Gao Weiguang, who plays "Di Feisheng."

The two were filming the fight scene that appeared at the beginning of the TV series.

Action scenes are difficult to film. The crew started filming this scene in the morning, and it took most of the day to finish.

In the actors' rest area, a stylishly dressed and well-proportioned woman walked in, led by Gu Wei's agent, Yang Dan.

"Sister Mi, the boss is filming. Please wait here for him."

Yang Mi nodded and sat down, watching with great interest the two people flying back and forth on wires in the arena.

"This is Ye Hua battling Donghua Dijun."

"Cut! That was a good take!"

After a while, the director's voice came from the loudspeaker. Gu Wei landed, and the staff around him rushed over to help him untie the wires binding him.

"Boss, Sister Mi is here to visit you on set~" the agent whispered in Gu Wei's ear.

Gu Wei was somewhat surprised, and then he saw Yang Mi sitting in the rest area.

The other person waved to him with a smile.

"You look even more handsome in period costume than in modern clothes!" Gu Wei walked over, and Yang Mi looked him up and down. "That fight scene just now was really well done, very polished. Your crew's martial arts director is quite good!"

Gu Wei took the water glass from his assistant and took a sip.

"This is a martial arts drama, so the action scenes definitely need to be good."

Why did Sister Mi suddenly decide to come visit me on set?

"I couldn't get a call from you, so I had to come visit you on set."

Yang Mi's eyes held a hint of resentment.

She also extended an invitation to Gu Wei at the Weibo Night event, but he declined.

So she had a small get-together with a few friends, including Baby, Liu Shishi, and Tong Liya.

They took a group photo and posted it on Weibo, but netizens used it as evidence that she was isolating Liu Yifei.

"It's my fault. I had plans to drink with General Manager Cao and General Manager Yu that day, so I couldn't."

As the two were chatting, Gao Weiguang, who had just finished filming, also came over.

"Sister Mi~"

Gao Weiguang was also somewhat surprised to see Yang Mi, but then he glanced at Gu Wei and realized what was happening.

"You've come to visit Brother Wei on set."

Yang Mi nodded and smiled, "I just watched your fight scene, it was really well done."

However, I always have this feeling that Ye Hua is fighting against Donghua Dijun.

No, Ye Hua can't beat Dong Hua; it should be Mo Yuan who beats Dong Hua.

Gu Wei and Gao Weiguang exchanged a glance and laughed, "I really hadn't thought of that until you mentioned it."

Hopefully, viewers won't make that connection when the show airs, otherwise it will be too distracting.

Gao Wei laughed and said, "Probably not. The costumes and style in our drama are very different from those in 'Eternal Love'."

I am no longer the Eastern Emperor, but the leader of the Demonic Cult.

After chatting for a while, Gu Wei suggested, "There's no night shooting tonight, how about we all have dinner together?"

“Okay~” Yang Mi readily agreed.

"Um, Brother Wei, Sister Mi, I have something to do tonight, you guys eat."

Gao Weiguang is a perceptive person. Having worked at [Jaywalk Studio] for so many years, he is certainly aware of the relationship between his two bosses and doesn't want to be a third wheel.

Nighttime, the film crew's hotel.

The long-absent Da Mimi was unusually enthusiastic, and for a moment she even fought Gu Wei to a standstill.

"Aren't you angry anymore?"

Gu Wei held the large, white sheep-like body in his arms, playing with its rare plumpness and smoothness.

Why am I angry?
Because of you? Liu Yifei? Or because netizens are criticizing me for forming a clique and excluding her?
I'm not that desperate, okay?

Gu Wei's lips curled up. Yang Mi was always like that; he was the most stubborn person in the whole body.

"Not too busy at work lately?"

"It's okay~"

Yang Mi shifted her body in Gu Wei's arms; although tired, she felt truly refreshed.

"If you're not too busy, you can stay on set for a few more days," Gu Wei suggested.

Yang Mi hesitated for a moment; she was also very tempted.

"At most two days, I'm flying to Huzhou next week."

The next film is about to start shooting.

"Movie or TV show?"

"Zhang Li's spy drama series, 'Harbin 1944'."

Yang Mi's spirits suddenly lifted when the topic of this drama came up.

"I have been thinking about the transformation for the past two years."

As I get older, I can't keep making period dramas forever. In the future, I need to focus more on serious dramas. This series, "Harbin 1944," is just the beginning.

Gu Wei looked at Yang Mi, who was full of confidence, and didn't know what to say.

"Okay, keep it up."

"By the way, I didn't see your female lead on set today?"

"You mean Chen Duling? She doesn't have any scenes today."

I don't understand what you're thinking.

Why would a foreigner play the female lead in a drama produced by your own company?

"You think I'm not suitable? Your company and Jaywalk Studio have so many actresses under their umbrella."

Yang Mi uttered a dissatisfied complaint.

Although she was unhappy that Liu Yifei was cast as the female lead in Gu Wei's drama, she could understand it. They were friends for many years, had known each other longer than she had, and were of similar status.

But who is Chen Duling? She's just a third-tier celebrity.

Gu Wei looked somewhat helpless: "I really didn't choose this female lead."

In the drama "Lotus Tower", the female lead doesn't have many scenes to begin with, and her screen time is far less than that of the two male supporting actors, Zeng Shunxi and Gao Weiguang.

She's basically a supporting female lead.

I didn't pay much attention to the casting process; the female lead was chosen by director Guo Hu.

He felt the other person's image and temperament matched, and that it was cheap and easy to use.

"Then you can change players."

"I worked with Chen Duling on [The Left Ear]. Although we haven't been in touch much in recent years, we can still be considered friends."

I could never bring myself to replace her in that role. (End of Chapter)
