Chapter 146 Plagiarism Incident
At Zhenbeibao Western Film and Television City, many crews are still working. After the "Painted Skin" crew arrived, it deservedly became the largest crew.

Many staff members from other crews would come and watch during their breaks, but they were generally very far away and did not delay the normal filming, so Gu Wei just let them go.

There are several classic buildings here, such as the gate where Fairy Zixia and Zhizunbao stood, and the Moon Gate in Red Sorghum…

There aren't many outdoor scenes in this movie, most of them are shot in the city.

After Jiao Enjun finished filming the scene of him fighting against hundreds of bandits alone, he took a rest nearby.

Huang Xiaoming is dressed in armor, and Gao Xiang, played by Chen Minghao, follows him on horseback. The two lead an army and gallop across the desert.

"Watch your expressions."

Wuershan sat in front of the monitor, looking at the expressions of the people in the camera and shouted into the intercom.

"Again."

Hearing the voice coming from the intercom, the staff rushed forward and quickly cleaned up the traces at the scene.

Huang Xiaoming cherished this opportunity very much and worked extra hard, and so did Chen Minghao next to him.

"ready, go."

The scenes with Zhou Xun and the sand bandits had been filmed the day before and it went very smoothly.

War horses were neighing and shouts of killing were heard everywhere.

Some of the extras sent by China Film Group have good acting skills.

As it gradually darkened, the next scene began to be filmed.

The camera comes to the scene where Wang Sheng and Xiao Wei first met.

Zhou Xun's eyes are the most lively. There are many people in China who are good at acting, but it is rare to find someone with such spirituality.

Xiao Wei looked at Wang Sheng with confusion and a hint of teasing in her eyes. It really was God's will. Gu Wei watched with interest in front of the camera.

The setting of the "Nine-Tailed Fox" this time is quite likable. She is simpler and more real than humans. She is a demon, but more like a human in terms of emotions.

Emotional resonance has always been an eternal topic pursued by movies.

This is also the reason why the character of Xiao Wei was not hated and was even loved by the audience after the movie was released.

"Ka, adjust your state, Xiao Ming, your eyes were not right just now."

Wu Ershan said loudly.

"When you see Xiao Wei, you should feel brightened up. Your voice can be gentler to highlight the difference between you and the bandits in the fight."

Huang Xiaoming was listening to Wuershan's explanation from the side.

"I understand, Director Wu. Let's do it again. There will definitely be no problem."

"start."

A man rushed into the tent...

"Come, I'll take you away."

"come."

Wang Sheng picked up Xiao Wei with one hand and walked out of the tent. There were still people fighting next to them, and the contrast was instantly apparent.

"Ka, good, this one passed."

As Wuershan finished speaking, everyone relaxed.

"Yes, Zhou Xun is not heavy."

Gu Wei walked up to the two of them and said something.

"Haha, not bad."

Huang Xiaoming laughed.

"Everyone, pack up and continue tomorrow."

Gu Wei stayed in the crew for more than half a month, and Liu Yifei called him every night.

"Is the event over?"

Gu Wei felt a little distressed when he heard Liu Yifei's tired voice on the phone.

"Yeah, that's about it."

This girl has been studying the script of "Inception" recently, and Nolan's "Batman: The Dark Knight" will be completed soon.

The subsequent post-production was handled by Warner Bros., and the next step was to prepare for the filming of "Inception".

"Don't be too tired, there is still plenty of time."

"Uh-huh."

...

The early fighting scenes in the movie went smoothly, and the moves designed by Zhou Zhaolong were grand and sweeping, very suitable for the fights between military generals.

"Director Gu, we're almost done with the exterior scenes, and we'll have to move to another location for most of the remaining scenes."

Wuershan discussed the next steps with Gu Wei in the studio.

"Okay, you guys decide. I'm going to Hollywood in a couple of days."

He has been watching Wuershan's filming during this period, and it is pretty good. Although there are some shortcomings in individual details, it does not have a big impact.

"How many days will Director Gu be gone this time?"

"I can't confirm the time. I need to go over to check out the post-production special effects and handle other things."

The two were chatting when Su Chang and Liu Yifei quietly came behind Gu Wei.

"Senior."

Liu Yifei suddenly jumped in front of Gu Wei and gave him a surprise.

"Xixi, why are you here? Where's your aunt?"

When Gu Wei saw Liu Yifei, he was a little excited and almost kissed her. Then he thought of something and suddenly asked.

"Mom is at the hotel. I asked Changchang to pick me up."

"Director Wu."

"Yifei."

"Director Gu, you guys continue chatting while I go check out the props."

Wu Ershan was very tactful and found an excuse to slip out, and Su Chang followed him.

The two of them stayed together for a while, "Let's go and see them."

"Uh-huh."

Gu Wei brought Liu Yifei to the shooting site, where Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Xun were filming.

After a while, after the shooting was over, Huang Xiaoming spotted Liu Yifei at a glance.

"Yifei, long time no see. I didn't expect you to come to visit us."

"Brother Xiao Ming, this outfit looks good."

Liu Yifei praised him. "Haha, come here, let me introduce you, this is Zhou Xun."

"Sister Xun."

Liu Yifei called out sweetly. At that time, they were filming "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and the two were hyped by the media, so they were not very familiar with each other.

"Oh, whose pretty girl is this?"

Zhou Xun is a show-off person, and everyone in the crew is used to it.

"Brother Xun, you are out of shape again."

Huang Xiaoming interjected.

Liu Yifei smiled and found the other person very interesting.

"Brother Jun."

"Yifei."

Other people came over one after another, and after a round of greetings, the filming continued...

Liu Yifei and Gu Wei were watching with interest nearby.

"Sister Xun's acting is amazing."

After seeing Zhou Xun's expression, Liu Yifei sighed.

"You are not bad either, just learn slowly."

"Hehe, I will."

Hearing Gu Wei's praise, he became happy.

"Come on, everyone hurry up and pack up. Yifei is coming to visit us today, so we need to finish work early."

Wu Ershan said.

"Thank you, Director Wu."

"Welcome Yifei."

When the staff nearby heard this, they cheered with joy.

The crew's logistics staff packed up the props on site and got on the vehicle to return to the hotel where the crew was staying.

The news that Liu Yifei visited the set of "Painted Skin" could not be concealed from the media.

As soon as everyone arrived at the hotel, reporters came to ask questions.

"Yifei..."

The staff stopped the reporters outside. When Liu Yifei saw this, she came to the hotel entrance and answered a few questions before the reporters dispersed.

"Auntie."

When they arrived at the hotel restaurant, Gu Wei saw Liu Xiaoli and said.

Dinner was held in the hotel restaurant, with the main creative staff of the crew and Liu Xiaoli and her daughter sitting at the same table.

"Brother Long, let me toast you."

Liu Yifei picked up the wine glass and said to Zhou Zhaolong that she had also seen many roles played by Zhou Zhaolong and was deeply impressed by this villain. When she met him in person today, she felt that he was completely different from the one in the movie.

"Thank you, Yifei."

Zhou Zhaolong was very polite. In terms of fame, the girl in front of him was much more famous than him in the circle.

Although Liu Yifei made her debut in a TV series, she has played two roles in Gu Wei's Hollywood movies. According to the current industry rules of the domestic film and television industry, movies are more important than TV series, and Hollywood movies are more important than domestic films.

Just like many young actresses in later generations, they have acted in many TV dramas but still cannot play the leading role in a movie.

However, in a few years, the pay in the TV drama industry is about to skyrocket, which has also led to a series of problems later, including some bans on salary restrictions.

"When I was a kid, I watched a lot of Brother Long's movies, and the character of Chang Wei left the deepest impression on me, but I always wondered how there could be such a bad person."

Liu Yifei kept talking.

"Haha, thank you for the recognition."

Zhou Zhaolong clasped his hands together and expressed his gratitude.

"Haha, this shows that Brother Long is a good actor."

When the other people at the dinner table heard this, they all laughed and said.

Afterwards, everyone ate and drank and talked about what had happened in the circle recently.

There have been many new talents emerging in domestic entertainment talent shows recently, but recently Hotpot TV's "First Heartbeat" was stopped by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television because it was too vulgar.

There are also a lot of negative reports about the draft everywhere.

This has also led to a phenomenon that cannot be ignored: the proliferation and vulgarization of entertainment talent shows.

In the film industry, "Assembly" directed by Feng Xiaogang was accused of plagiarizing South Korea's "The Taegukgi" because he used the original special effects production team of "The Taegukgi".

The scene in Zhou Xingchi's "CJ7" where he looks up at a flying saucer was accused of plagiarizing Spielberg's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind".

All kinds of gossip are flying around.

Everyone was gossiping and the atmosphere was very good.

Zhou Xun knew a lot of inside information and could talk about it endlessly. He kept whispering to Liu Yifei and Su Chang, and laughed out loud from time to time.

...

"Director, have a nice trip."

Wu Ershan looked at Gu Wei who was about to leave and said that after more than half a month of filming, his understanding of the movie had deepened a lot, and now he no longer felt unsure like before.

"Well, there's no need to rush the filming of the crew. There's plenty of time. Take your time."

Liu Yifei stayed in the crew for two days, and then returned to the capital with Gu Wei. Liu Xiaoli and assistants also accompanied them. They boarded the plane with their luggage.

After arriving at the company, Gu Wei took out the song "Hua Xin" that he had asked someone to create. The original version of this song was sung by Jane Zhang.

In order not to bother two people with the same matter, Gu Wei decided to let her continue singing.

"Xixi, I have a task for you. I want to find someone to produce this song first. Can anyone recommend a suitable person?"

Gu Wei knew the relationship between Liu Yifei and Zhang Jingying, so he asked deliberately.

"You can find Jingjing, she sings really well."

Sure enough, Liu Yifei thought of her good friend first and spoke directly.

"Okay then. I'll leave this to you. If you need support, you can look for Wang Chen."

"What about you, Senior? Are you going to Hollywood?"

"Well, I plan to go over there tomorrow to see the progress of post-production."

"Yes, when you come back, I'll introduce Jing Jing to you."

...

The next morning, Gu Wei arrived at the Capital Airport and took a flight to Los Angeles with his assistant.
