Chapter 633 Background and Startup

After handling the company's affairs in the capital for a few days, Gu Wei got on the flight to Caiyunzhinan.

"How is Yang Chaoyue doing lately?"

On the plane, after reading the script for a while, Gu Wei suddenly remembered his former assistant and asked Yang Dan casually.

He knew that the other party must know her current situation based on her relationship with Yang Chaoyue.

After New Year's Day, he threw his little assistant to Mr. Long who was "wow-haw-wow" and didn't bother him again.

In the first few days, Yang Chaoyue sent him WeChat messages from time to time, complaining about how hard and tiring practice was. He had to attend various classes every day to practice singing, dancing, etc.

Gu Wei is usually too busy to take care of her.

"[Wow] The life of the trainees there is quite busy, especially since [Produce 101] will start recording at the end of this month, and Yang Chaoyue's study tasks are getting tighter and tighter."

Sure enough, Yang Dan and Yang Chaoyue have always been in contact.

After speaking, she hesitated.

"Boss, I heard Chao Yue say that it seems that her current practice life is not going well."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Gu Wei asked curiously.

"Chaoyue's studies at [Wow Haw Haw] mainly focused on singing and dancing. For a girl group, these are basic skills and are normal.

However, her family conditions were not good since she was a child, and she had no foundation in singing and dancing.

When she first went there, she wanted to learn slowly from scratch. After studying for more than a month, she discovered that she had no talent at all in this area.

When she contacted me recently, her tone was quite depressed and she said she wanted to come back and continue to work as an assistant to her boss."

"Pfft" Gu Wei, who was picking up his coffee and drinking it, almost spat out after hearing Yang Dan's words.

"A star wants to be an assistant even if she doesn't do it. Is her brain kicked by the ass?"

"Well, maybe she was hit hard by the training there. They are all impulsive complaints. If she couldn't persist, she would have run back long ago due to her personality."

Yang Dan also thinks that Gu Wei is right. As an agent, she sees how good a star's life is. If it weren't for her poor foundation and average appearance, she would want to be a star. Which girl doesn't have a star dream.

Yang Chaoyue, a rural girl with no education or background, was able to have such a good opportunity now. First, she was naturally beautiful and good-looking, and second, she met such a good boss as Gu Wei.

Gu Wei nodded.

"Ask her to perform to the best of her ability when recording the show, and don't think too much about other things."

"Understood, I will warn her when Chaoyue contacts me next time."

Yang Dan felt that he should advise this lucky little girl, even if you are not that good and don't have any talent, don't forget who your boss is.

[Produce 101] is a project jointly conducted by Mr. Long and Tengxun. In terms of the relationship with the boss, you are a pure relationship user. With the support of the boss, the Buddha, you don’t need to worry about anything at all.

Shangri-La, also known as Shambhala and Paradise on Earth, means "sun and moon in the heart" in Tibetan. It is located in the hinterland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Hengduan Mountains in northwest Yunnan, with a pleasant climate and beautiful natural scenery.

In the 1930s, the British writer James Hilton described it in detail in the novel "Lost Horizon". It was later made into a movie of the same name, which won multiple Oscars and has since become better known to the world.

The opening ceremony of [Si Teng] was held in Shangri-La, and some early shooting was also conducted here.

Gu Wei's plane landed, he left Shangri-La Airport, got into the car that came to pick him up and went straight to the crew.

"Director Li, thank you for your hard work."

After entering the crew, the first thing I naturally met was director Li Muge.

Li Muge is a very responsible director. Although he is not famous yet, it can be seen from his work that he will definitely succeed in the future.

After taking over the project "Si Teng" from "Wei Ming Xia", Director Li devoted himself wholeheartedly to the preparation of the TV series.

From actor selection to filming locations, he did most of the work himself.

Because the filming team is basically employees of [Wei Mingxia] company, Gu Wei also learned some about Li Muge's work style from his subordinates.

This is worthy of being a top student who graduated from Peking University majoring in computer science. He is a pure science and engineering man. He is very well-planned and well-organized in everything he does. He has already made a thick plan before shooting, accurately planning the shooting time from start-up to completion, and How many days to shoot at each location, how many shots per day, etc.

Of course, filming is not about writing code. There are always some uncontrollable factors involved, such as weather conditions and actor status.

However, this kind of work attitude can easily win the favor of others. After all, everyone likes to work with people who work hard, especially in the film and television industry. Only hard work can produce high-quality products.

"Everything should be done, and I would also like to thank Mr. Gu for considering me and asking me to direct this drama.

Naturally, I have to devote all my energy to getting it done.”

Li Muge is not very old. He was born in 1980. He is 38 years old this year, which is considered young in the director's field.

His teacher is the great director Gao Xixi. He joined the industry in 2008 to help his teacher, and it was not until 2012 that he had the opportunity to direct independently.

Over the years, I have also made some movies and TV series, but there are no particularly outstanding works.

When the staff of [Wei Tianxia] found him, Li Muge was also a little confused.

In fact, he still hasn't figured out why Gu Wei, the most popular star in the industry, asked him by name to film a movie, and even made an appointment with him for two dramas.

With Gu Wei's status as a celebrity, as long as he opens his mouth, the famous directors in the domestic entertainment industry will be happy to cooperate with him.

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Li Muge just thought it was a pie in the sky that just hit his head. Maybe this Mr. Gu just happened to have seen the film he shot before, and he just admired his talent.

After chatting with Li Muge for a while, Gu Wei met Jing Tian who arrived earlier than him in the crew.

"Brother Wei." Da Tiantian was also very surprised to see Gu Wei.

She was wearing casual clothes, a black jacket and jeans, her black hair draped over her shoulders, and her fair face with delicate features, she looked very beautiful.

"When did Tiantian arrive?"

"I just arrived yesterday too"

"I remember that the movie [Pacific Rim 2] you participated in will be released in a few days, aren't you busy recently?"

Jing Tian shook his head.

"The premiere was held in Beijing a few days ago, so I don't need to worry too much about the publicity.

Recently, I have been studying the script of [Si Teng], and I hired a physical education teacher to learn my manners for a while."

"Really? Tiantian, you are so concerned, I have to work hard too. It would be bad if I drag you down during the performance." Gu Wei raised his eyebrows and said jokingly.

"Ah, you are making fun of me~

I really like this script. I stayed up all night to finish reading it the day I received the script.

At first, I was a little worried about whether I could perform the state described in the script. Later, I thought about the cooperation with you, Brother Wei, so I encouraged myself and made a lot of preparations."

Jing Tian said seriously with his big eyes open.

"Relax, you will definitely act well. When I read the original novel [Half-demon Si Teng], many people's images flashed through my mind, and finally I felt that you, Tiantian, were the most suitable.

In my heart, "Si Teng" looks like you, you are the real "Si Teng"!

How can you not act well?"

"Hehe. Brother Wei, I take it seriously if you say that"
