Chapter 183 Weiwei Boot and Acting Teacher

There are still a few days left before the crew of [A Smile Is Charming] starts filming.

The final makeup photos of the two leading actors, Gu Wei and Nazha, were also released.

Because it is a modern idol drama, the makeup photos are very simple, and posting them online is just a warm-up for the start of filming.

The main followers on the Internet are fans of Gu Wei and fans of the original work.

[Wei Wei] ranks second among all Gu Man's novels, second only to [Why Sheng Xiao Mo], and has a large number of fans of the original novel.

For book lovers, they are both happy and worried when their favorite novels are adapted into film and television dramas.

They are happy to see their favorite book adapted into a film and TV show, but they are worried that the producer's poor casting choices and random changes to the plot will ruin the classic in their hearts.

So when [Wei Mingxia Film and Television Company] announced that it would start filming the TV series version of [A Slightly Smiling Beauty], the discussion on the Internet has not stopped.

The makeup photos of the male and female protagonists gave netizens a new topic of conversation.

[Gu Wei is so handsome, he is the perfect candidate for the male lead in my heart! 】

[In this makeup photo, Gu Wei looks like "Xiao Nai" who stepped out of a novel. I look forward to the release of the TV series! 】

[Wow~ Gu Wei’s appearance is simply amazing. When I saw him, I realized that “Xiao Nai” in the novel looked like this! 】

【Scholarly family, gentle and elegant, the son is like a jade! The temperament matches, give it a thumbs up! 】

[This image of "Bei Weiwei" is very consistent with the original work. She is a bright and beautiful beauty, and the male and female protagonists are well cast. I look forward to the TV series being released. 】

[Who is the actress who plays the heroine? Looks so beautiful~]

[Isn’t this "Xiao Xue"? She who played the role of "Xuan Yuan Sword" is indeed a beautiful woman. 】

[I remembered, the one called "Labraca" in "The Breakup Master"]

Generally speaking, netizens are very satisfied with the makeup photos taken by Gu Wei and Nazha, and feel that they are more in line with the characters in the original book.

Gu Wei has many fans and is very popular. Gu Man, the original author of his image, read it and said that it was exactly the same as the "Xiao Nai" she imagined when she wrote it.

Netizens are naturally very satisfied.

As for Nazha, although she debuted for more than 3 years, her fame has never been high, mainly because she did not have the support of a popular drama.

Ever since she signed the contract with Sugar Man, she has been acting in various movies and TV dramas, and has been marketing people's beauty. Apart from that, she has nothing else to offer.

Netizens are not very impressed with her. They just think that her appearance is more in line with the original image of "Bei Weiwei", so they don't comment too much.

In the past few days, Gu Wei was busy going to the company to handle some matters every day, while Nazha was preparing for the TV series at home in her Palm Springs apartment.

Gu Wei asked the company to cancel her recent schedule. During the period before joining the team, she concentrated on preparing at home, memorizing lines and figuring out the character's psychology.

Nazha is also a student at the film school. Although she is not talented, she still knows some acting methods.

As a classmate, Gu Wei is well aware of Nazha's acting skills, so he hopes that she can be more attentive and do her best within her abilities.

He hopes that Nazha can become famous instantly with the help of Weiwei and not be held back by her acting skills.

Actors have a huge influence on a film and television work. If the same play is played by different actors, the final effect will be very different.

In the evening when he returns to Nazha's home from the company, he will also help her practice together.

Men and women are matched, so work is not tiring.

Nazha understood Gu Wei's arrangement very well.

She also attaches great importance to the drama "Wei Wei". After all, this is the first heroine she has received in a film and television drama since joining the industry.

And she was still working with Gu Wei. No matter who came to see it, it was Gu Wei who took the initiative to help her. Of course she wanted to perform well and not waste Gu Wei's hard work.

Nazha is also self-aware of her acting skills, and she only hopes that her hard work can make up for her shortcomings.

October 12, Shanghai.

The sky is clear and the wind is gentle and gentle.

[A Smiling Smile Is Alluring] The crew officially started filming today.

Because we were in Shanghai, we couldn't prepare things like firecrackers. A large red banner was hung above the venue, with the words "A slight smile makes the city beautiful and good luck starts".

The main actors of the crew, led by the director, burned incense and bowed together, and then pulled off the red cloth covering the camera. The simple startup ceremony was over.

Thanks to Gu Wei, although the opening ceremony prepared by the crew was very simple, there were many friends from the media present today.

Everyone waited for the crew to go through the ceremony and it was finally their turn for the interview.

"Although this is my first time working with Director Lin Yufen, I have been famous for Director Lin's name for a long time. She has shot many excellent works before. I look forward to creating new sparks this time."

"This is the second time I have cooperated with Teacher Gu Man. She is a very good writer and screenwriter. I like the storyline of [Wei Wei] very much. I believe that everyone will like the final effect."

"Nazha is a very good actress, especially in terms of image, which fits the requirements of the heroine very well."

Gu Wei was already used to this kind of interviews. He would pour out flattering words and never find any problems.

The main interview subject of the media was Gu Wei. Although the director, screenwriter and other main actors were also present, more than half of the reporters' questions were directed at Gu Wei.

Others think this situation is normal.

Every one of the media reporters present today is here for Gu Wei.

As for the interview with the crew and other actors, it was all on the way. If I could get some breaking news from Gu Wei, then the trip would be well worth it.

"I am very happy to have the opportunity to play the role of 'Bei Weiwei'. This drama is also my first time playing a heroine. I will work hard."

"I am very happy to work with Gu Wei and I am confident that I can perform my role well."

Nazha answered the reporter's questions quite appropriately.

She tells the truth, and normally she can't find any fault with it, but entertainment reporters are good at forcing things, making far-fetched assumptions, and making generalizations.

"What did you rely on to be able to play a heroine for the first time and work with an A-list star like Gu Wei?"

After Nazha finished speaking, a reporter asked somewhat rudely.

The other people nearby also looked excited, waiting for Nazha's answer.

Nazha seemed a little at a loss after hearing this reporter's question.

Gu Wei frowned and looked at the sign on the chest of the reporter who asked the question. He was from Nandu Entertainment Weekly.

Just as he was about to speak, director Lin Yufen beside him spoke.

"The role of Nazha was decided by screenwriter Gu and I. We feel that her image and temperament are very consistent with the heroine in the original work. We believe that she can perform the role of 'Bei Weiwei' well."

While Director Lin was speaking, Gu Man was also smiling and nodding.

As a director from Hong Kong, Lin Yufen has been filming movies for more than 20 years, and he can distinguish the big and small kings.

She knew clearly that Gu Wei was the biggest one in the crew. Regardless of his status as a popular actor, his company was the producer of this drama, and the producers had to call him boss.

She was just a wage earner who was invited to direct the film. Directors in Hong Kong understand this best.

Moreover, Gu Wei's company did not interfere too much with her, including the choice of actors, and gave her the greatest autonomy. They only inserted one female lead, which made her feel respected.

At this time, it was easy for Lin Yufen to help the heroine out of the siege.

As for Gu Man, she has an old friendship with Gu Wei. She has known Gu Wei since the filming of "Shanshan Is Here". She has always believed that Gu Wei's appearance is suitable for the male protagonists in all her works.

The company where Nazha plays "Bei Weiwei" and Gu Wei has communicated with her very early on, and she is quite satisfied with Nazha's appearance.

After hearing what the director said, reporters from Nandu stopped making excuses.

Not many people were interviewed at the opening ceremony of the crew. Apart from the director and screenwriter, the only actors were Gu Wei, Nazha, Li Xian and Mao Xiaotong.

Li Xian replaced Bai Yu's role in the original version and played the second male lead "Cao Guang" in the TV series.

When the crew was casting, he went to the director to audition and was selected.

Gu Wei's current company's "first sister" Zhang Tianai was filming other scenes at this time, so she simply didn't go to the audition.

Moreover, there is no role suitable for her in this drama except the heroine. She is now more famous than Nazha, so it would not be good for her to be a supporting role.

In the end, the role of the second female lead "Zhao Erxi" fell into the hands of Mao Xiaotong.

Mao Xiaotong, who was standing at the very edge, was also asked two questions, and then no reporters paid any attention to her.

She faced the reporter's camera opposite her with a smile on her face, and glanced at Nazha, who was standing with Gu Wei in the middle, with a rather complicated look in her eyes.

Mao Xiaotong belongs to the type of late bloomer among female stars in the entertainment industry.

She graduated with a major in Chinese Opera and Performance and has been playing some roles in film and television dramas since 2005.

She has been playing supporting roles for many years, and has also appeared in popular TV series such as "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "The End of the World". Unfortunately, she never became popular, and she gradually became a golden supporting actress in film and television dramas.

Being able to play the leading role in a hit drama at such a young age as Nazha, and also being able to play with the famous Gu Wei, was exactly what she dreamed of.

The plot of [A Smile Is Charming] is very simple. It tells the story of a beautiful schoolmaster Bei Weiwei, who goes by the pseudonym "Luwei Weiwei" in the online world. In order to win the "Heroes Challenge", she agrees to form a romance with the top master "Yixiao Naihe" Couples form a team to compete.

The two got to know each other in the online world, and later Weiwei discovered that "Yixiao Naihe" was actually a popular figure in the same school - senior brother Xiao Nai.

The two are heroic teammates online and work partners offline. The fate is so wonderful that when Weiwei discovers this truth, the two naturally get together.

This youth idol drama does not have all the accidents and misunderstandings that come from the sky in traditional idol dramas, nor does it have the four-cornered relationship of "you like me, I like him".

There are no plots outside of life such as abortion, car accidents, and going abroad that were common in youth themes before.

It is a TV series in the style of youth and pure love. From the moment the male and female protagonists meet to get together, they have been giving out sweets to the audience. It is so sweet.

The first day's scenes were shot in the studio. "Xiao Nai" played by Gu Wei met "Bei Weiwei" played by Nazha in the online world.

The two people were wearing clothes from the game and met by a bridge in the game scene.

Gu Wei was wearing an ancient chivalrous white suit, carrying a silver-white weapon knife behind his back. His face was like jade, and his long hair was flowing, and he looked very fairy-like.

Standing on the bridge, Nazha was dressed in red, also carrying a weapon, with flaming red lips, and a heroic appearance.

At this time, screenwriter Gu Man, who was standing outside the venue, looked at Nazha's dress and nodded with satisfaction.

The appearance of Bei Weiwei in her novel has beautiful eyebrows, eye-catching eyes, always bright red lips, and a hot figure. These descriptions are very consistent with Nazha's appearance today.

"Luwei Weiwei!"

The two people on the bridge and under the bridge met for the first time separated by time and space.

"Yixiao Naihe, the number one master in this server"

Nazha ran from the bridge to Gu Wei.

"Brother Yixiao Naihe, you called me?"

"What do you think of this party?"

Gu Wei looked into the distance and asked calmly.

"It's grand."

"Then do you want to have a grander knight-errant banquet and become a knight-errant with me?"

Gu Wei turned to look at Nazha and said seriously.

Nazha smiled in disbelief and said.

"Have your account been hacked?"

"Ka! Nazha calms down. You two are strangers now. Although he is the best player in the game, you don't need to be too enthusiastic. There is a sense of distance."

The director's voice came from the loudspeaker.

"It's okay. We just started shooting and you haven't gotten into the mood yet. Take your time."

Gu Wei comforted.

Maybe it's because her relationship with Gu Wei is too close. When the two of them acted opposite each other, Nazha would unconsciously feel close to him. But now that she was acting in a scene where the hero and heroine had just met, this state was definitely... No way.

After a few more takes, the director became a little impatient and came over to the scene to personally demonstrate to Nazha, teaching her step by step how to act.

After a few more NG attempts, the director finally gave me this shot.

Lin Yufen is worthy of being an excellent director who has produced many hit TV series. The original time and space is not only "Sword of Sword 3" and "A Slight Smile is Alluring", but also the later "Flower Thousand Bones" and "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom". work.

From Gu Wei's point of view, Director Lin has very strict requirements for filming, and any actor who dissatisfied her will have to do it all over again.

Even though Gu Wei is the real boss, Director Lin only regards him as an actor in the crew, and all the requirements are the same.

Gu Wei admired her rigorous work attitude very much. Nazha kept NGing her, and he kept cooperating without any impatience.

After the first day of filming, Nazha was in a low mood.

For her, today's shooting was not smooth. Not only were the scenes of her and Gu Wei together, but also the scenes of her alone. The back and forth of the shots made her doubt herself a little.

"Are my acting skills so bad?"

"Don't be too frustrated. Today is the first day of filming. The director will polish the lens and improve the tacit understanding between the crew, so he is particularly strict.

Your performance today is not bad, and you will get better and better after a few days of shooting and getting into the groove. "

Gu Wei comforted him.

"Is it?"

Nazha looked up at Gu Wei and found some comfort in her heart.

"Of course, can I lie to you?

In order to help you better complete the filming of this drama, I also helped you find an acting teacher. You can ask him for advice at any time between filming. "

As soon as Gu Wei finished speaking, assistant Yang Dan brought over a middle-aged man of about 40 years old.

He was wearing a black suit with a white shirt underneath, he was dressed meticulously, and his appearance was not outstanding. He looked at Gu Wei and Nazha with a pair of small eyes, a smile on his face, and his whole person exuded a steady temperament.

"Let me introduce you. This is a senior from our film school and the acting teacher I asked someone to find for you. Zhang Songwen, Teacher Zhang."

Gu Wei introduced to Nazha.

"Hello, Senior Brother Zhang."

Nazha shouted politely.

"I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it. I originally studied in a higher vocational class and I don't dare to be Boss Gu's senior brother.

I'm just a few years older and have a little more experience in acting. I hope it can help you. "

After listening to Gu Wei's words, Zhang Songwen said modestly, and then said to Nazha.

"Senior Brother Zhang is a master in acting. He has also held acting training classes outside and knows how to teach others. If you don't understand anything on the set these two months, just ask him directly.

Brother Zhang will be responsible for all aspects of your acting. "

"Excuse me, Teacher Zhang."

After listening to Gu Wei's words, Nazha said to Zhang Songwen politely.

"It should, it should."

Seeing that the person he taught had a good attitude, Zhang Songwen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

Originally, Gu Wei just wanted to ask the teacher in the acting department to help find an acting training teacher. Unexpectedly, the person he introduced was Zhang Songwen.

In this way, Gu Wei felt more at ease. Even if Nazha was a dull person, I believed that with the help of him and Zhang Songwen, she would be able to figure it out.

During this period, Zhang Songwen was still a little-known actor. I worked as a bit player in a film crew, played a small supporting role, and also worked as a performance instructor in an actor training class. I drifted to Beijing for more than ten years, and my life has always been very difficult.

This time, his classmates from the film school introduced him to the job. He spent more than two months with the team, teaching acting, taking care of food and housing, and was paid 100,000 yuan.

This job was like pie in the sky for him.

You can easily get a lot of money. You must know that when he was filming in Beijing, even eating was a problem during the most difficult time.

100,000 yuan is enough for him to use for a long time.

Originally, he was thinking that it would be difficult for students to spend so much money.

Now when I go to the place, I see that he is polite and obedient, and I feel relieved. I am determined to show my full strength and be worthy of the tuition fee given by my boss.
