Huayu is free to do as you like

The summer in Fujian Province is much hotter than in the north. As soon as Gu Wei and his party got off the plane, they were caught off guard by the incoming heat wave.

After leaving the airport, they hurriedly got into the cool air-conditioned car and rushed to Dongshan Island where the crew was located.

"Xiao Dan, bring the script and let me read it again."

In the nanny car, Gu Wei said to the assistant on the side.

"Boss, here you go~"

[Left Ear] The original protagonists of this movie are Chen Duling, Ou Hao, Yang Yang, Ma Chun and Guan Xiaotong.

Chen Duling's appearance and temperament are a bit like the milk tea sister. I don't know if the crew did this intentionally. When the crew was preparing, there were rumors circulating on the Internet that the milk tea sister Zhang Ketian would play the female lead.

The rumors intensified, and the crew never came forward to respond. Until a few days before the film was about to start, director Su Youpeng refuted the rumors on Weibo, saying that Milk Tea Sister would not appear. The next day, Milk Tea Sister forwarded this post on Weibo, saying that she would not appear.

The rumors were dispelled, and the crew also announced the cast list of the movie.

Later, everyone discovered that the heroine Chen Duling resembled the milk tea sister in both appearance and temperament, so the title of "little milk tea sister" spread like wildfire.

Chen Duling studied aircraft manufacturing and engineering at the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and was admitted with a college entrance examination score of 621 points.

It can be said that she is a thorough academic and engineering girl.

But he is good-looking and has a unique temperament.

In February 2013, Chen Duling was pushed to the top of the "Goddess Ranking" by netizens in the Facejoking school beauty selection, which also earned her a lot of attention on the Internet.

It is said that when director Su Youpeng was selecting the role of "Little Ear", the heroine of "Left Ear", he spent half a year meeting all the actresses in the age group of 20 to 30 years old.

After eliminating many well-known female stars in the industry, Chen Duling, who is still an amateur and has no filming experience, was finally selected.

Gu Wei knew about this. He heard Yang Zi complain when he had dinner with Yang Zi, Zhang Yishan, Li Xian and others in the capital a few days ago.

She went to audition for the heroine role in "Left Ear", but the director eliminated her the moment he met her.

Gu Wei was not surprised at all by this. Although Yang Zi had acting skills, her image and temperament were far different from the heroine in "Left Ear". It was strange that the director chose her.

Apart from the female lead, what impressed Gu Wei the most about the movie was that the male lead Ou Hao and the second female lead Ma Chun openly fell in love.

After all, gossip is always impressive.

Ou Hao is the same age as Gu Wei. He debuted as the runner-up of "Happy Boys". At this time, he was still a little transparent person who could not even reach the third tier in the entertainment industry.

At this time, although Ma Chun himself was not well-known.

But her aunt is the famous Jiang Wenli. It is said that Jiang Wenli made a free guest appearance in the movie just so that her niece could be in the movie.

After the two became boyfriend and girlfriend, Ou Hao got involved in the so-called "Northwest Circle" through Jiang Wenli's relationship. From then on, his stardom was smooth and smooth, and he was later crowned a "Ten Billion Actor".

But after becoming famous, Ou Hao soon broke up with Ma Chun. The latter suffered from depression for a period of time. It is difficult to say that it had nothing to do with the end of this relationship.

[Left Ear] is adapted from the novel of the same name written by Rao Xueman. The original work is the so-called "youth pain literature".

It roughly tells the story that the heroine Li Er has a crush on the boy Xu Yi, and the hero Zhang Yang asks his crush Li Bala to ruin Xu Yi's reputation because of some misunderstandings from the previous generation.

The matter was successful, but Zhang Yang and Li Bala had conflicts due to misunderstandings, and Li Bala died in a car accident. Zhang Yang has been feeling guilty.

As a good friend of Li Bala, Li Er has always hated Zhang Yang.

After going to college, Li Er accidentally met the fallen Xu Yi again. Through her efforts, she and Xu Yi became boyfriend and girlfriend. However, she found out that Xu Yi had cheated on her and she was devastated again.

Many years later, Li Er and Zhang Yang, who have grown up, returned to their hometown town again. All the past events have become memories of their youth. In the process of missing Li BaLa, the two met and smiled together to move towards a better life.

Generally speaking, it is a somewhat bloody youth campus love story.

But that’s okay, youth movies are like this these days, much more exaggerated than this.

Ever since the Nine Knives movie "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" became popular across the Taiwan Straits and three places in 2011, a large number of youth movies will be released every year.

Some of them have been silently popular since their release, while others like Zhao Wei's "To Our Perishable Youth" in 2013 were box office hits.

However, these youth movies basically cannot escape the clichés of car accidents, traveling abroad, terminal illness, and abortion.

Although "Left Ear" is director Su Youpeng's debut, it is considered a masterpiece among youth movies with both box office and reputation success.

July 10th, Dongshan Island.

[Left Ear] The crew held a premiere ceremony and officially started filming.

Originally, this movie has been unknown during the preparation period. You can't even imagine how famous it will be because of the Internet celebrity Milk Tea Girl.

The most famous person in the group is director Su Youpeng, and the rest are basically new actors. Guan Xiaotong, the later "Beijing Circle Princess", is still a young actor. Ma Chun has just debuted, and the female lead is an amateur.

Only the second male lead Yang Yang is famous for his role as Jia Baoyu in the early "Dream of Red Mansions".

But of course, after everyone found out that [Left Ear] hired Gu Wei as the leading actor in the movie, attention from all parties came uninvited.

Gu Wei's Weibo, Su Youpeng's Weibo, and the Weibo of the film crew of "Left Ear" were soon filled with a large number of fans, who were eagerly interested in all kinds of news about the movie and Gu Wei.

There is no other way. The popularity of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" made Gu Wei the most popular male star in the entertainment industry this summer, and he gained a large number of young fans.

The crew originally planned to hold a simple opening ceremony, but a large number of uninvited reporters also gathered.

Director Su Youpeng discussed with the producer and simply took this opportunity to hold a small press conference. Since the reporters were all here, it was a way to promote the film in advance.

The crew briefly went through the process of the opening ceremony. The director took everyone to lift the red cloth on the camera, and then took the lead in offering incense and bowing. After that, he took the main actors of the crew to be interviewed by reporters.

At the beginning of the interview session, the media politely asked Su Youpeng a few questions about the movie, and then began to focus their fire on Gu Wei.

There is no way, who makes him the most popular now? This has always been the case in the entertainment industry. A new generation replaces an old one. If it were 10 years ago, Su Youpeng's popularity would be much lower than that of Gu Wei now. After all, "Huanzhugege" and "Yitian" "Slaying the Dragon" is a classic in the hearts of a generation.

But now that he is getting older after all, and few works have been released in recent years, people are of course more concerned about Gu Wei as the popular fried chicken than director Su Youpeng.

"I would like to ask Gu Wei, it is said that during this period you have rejected many film offers from directors, including some big-budget projects.

Now you have chosen a new director like Su Youpeng instead. What made you make such a choice? "

After Gu Wei answered several routine questions in succession, the reporter's questions became more and more pointed.

The media is always used to looking for some explosive points, even if their questions make people feel uncomfortable.

This question was not difficult for Gu Wei, but it was not very friendly to Su Youpeng, the director.

After hearing this question, Gu Wei glanced at the director beside him and clearly felt that Su Youpeng's face suddenly darkened.

“I don’t choose films based on big directors or big productions, but based on scripts and stories.

Although our investment in this movie is not large, the story is very good. Director Su Youpeng spent a lot of effort in selecting locations and actors during the preparation of the movie. His serious style of doing things impressed me very much.

Besides, when I was making movies before, I was also a new director and was not favored by many people, so I think that being a new director is not a reason to deny a good movie.

I believe that under the leadership of the director and the efforts of the entire crew, our movie will be successful. "

Gu Wei's answer was very official and a little false, but at least Su Youpeng sounded very happy to hear it next to him.

It was obvious that after Gu Wei said these words, a smile appeared on his face again.

Watching Gu Wei talk eloquently under reporters' questions, the other young actors on the stage looked envious.

Yang Yang, as the second male lead in the drama, still has a childish look on his face at this time. He wears his hair with slanted bangs that cover his entire forehead, making him look extremely young.

He looked at Gu Wei with envy. Yang Yang in 1991 was one year older than Gu Wei. When he graduated in 2007, he was signed by director Li Shaohong and signed by Rong Xinda, thus playing his first role "Jia Baoyu". ".

It's a pity that that version of "Dream of Red Mansions" did not become popular. In the following years, he played some roles in film and television dramas one after another, but it was still tepid.

He was extremely envious of Gu Wei, who had become famous after just over a year since his debut. As a young actor, their status and popularity were worlds apart.

Guan Xiaotong, who was standing on the other side, whispered to Ma Chun beside her.

"Teacher Gu Wei is so handsome and a big star. I wish I could become as popular as him."

The two came to the set early and became friends within a few days.

Although Guan Xiaotong is tall and has long legs, she is the youngest among the cast. Ma Chun, who plays her peer, was born in 1988 and is 9 years older than her.

"It's too difficult to become as famous as Gu Wei, but you are still young and you will have a chance in the future."

The two of them were still chatting quietly on the side, and the media, which couldn't find a hot spot in Gu Wei, focused on Ma Chun.

"Miss Maschun, there are rumors that you can play the second female lead in this movie because of your aunt Jiang Wenli. Is this true?"

"Forehead"

Ma Chun, who had no experience in this area, was a little flustered and didn't know how to answer.

"Let me answer this question."

Screenwriter Rao Xueman, who was standing on the other side, spoke.

"I chose Sichun. When I saw her for the first time, I thought she was my Li Ba La. But at that time, she was a little fat, so I asked her if she could lose weight?

20 days later, when Sichun came to see me again, she had lost 15 pounds, so the director and I decided to let her play the second female lead. "

The screenwriter's proactive ending made Ma Chun breathe a sigh of relief, and she looked at Yao Xueman gratefully.

In fact, although Ma Chun is not young, her superior family background has prevented her from experiencing any setbacks. She is psychologically sensitive and fragile, has a relatively introverted personality, and is not very good at refuting others.

Later, she filmed the movie "July and Ansheng" with Gu Wei's classmate Zhou Dongyu, and the two won the Golden Horse Award for their roles in the movie.

During the award ceremony last week, Dongyu almost bluntly dissed her for winning the award because of her family background. She didn't have any refutation, but she never had any interactions with Zhou again.

After the press conference, Su Youpeng patted Gu Wei on the shoulder and said happily: "Gu Wei, inviting you to be the protagonist of the movie is really the best decision I have ever made!

The movie has not even started filming yet, but it is already so popular. I believe that with your participation, this movie will definitely be a success at the box office after it is released! "

"No, director, you deserve the award. If the movie succeeds in the future, it will be all thanks to you and everyone else. I'm just an ordinary actor."

Gu Wei smiled and said modestly.

The more Su Youpeng looks at Gu Wei now, the more he likes him. Not only is he handsome, he is famous and has many fans. With him as the leading actor in the movie, when it is released, Gu Wei's current fans alone will make the movie pay for itself.

He has also watched Gu Wei's previous dramas, so he doesn't need to worry about his acting skills.

The only problem is that it is a bit expensive. The salary of 20 million is almost the top in the industry now.

But he is just a director, not an investor, and he doesn’t have to pay for it.

Moreover, Gu Wei used his remuneration to invest in the film, which did not occupy any filming funds. Where can he find such a good actor?

Just when Gu Wei was on Dongshan Island preparing to shoot the movie "Left Ear", Li Jiaheng, who was still a member of South Korea's EXO group at the time, had quietly returned to China and established a relationship with a domestic entertainment company to start filming his first movie after returning to China. [There is a place only we know].

This movie is directed by the talented Xu Jinglei and written by Wang Shuo. It is obvious that Li Jiaheng has jumped on the big boat of the Beijing circle.

His teammate Lu Han followed closely and secretly returned to China to film the fantasy movie "Back to 20" directed by Chen Zhengdao and starring Yang Zishan and Gui Yalei.

Compared to Lu Han, who just sneaked back to China, Li Jiaheng was much more violent. Not only did he leave, but he also directly filed a request with the Seoul Central District Court in South Korea to invalidate the "exclusive contract" with SM Entertainment.

Later, Lu Han also followed suit. In October, he applied for the invalidation of the contract with South Korea's SM Entertainment Co., Ltd. on the grounds that the company was unable to provide future development plans and his body developed symptoms due to high-intensity work and pressure.

The return of these two people has completely opened up the traffic era of domestic entertainment. Not only has the word traffic become popular, but also the concept of "top-tier" has been generally born.

Before them, there were many celebrities who were very popular in China for a period of time, such as Gu Wei and Yang Mi now, Han Geng who returned to China two years ago, and the Super Girls in the early years, but everyone calls them popular stars.

But after the so-called four returned to China, the most popular stars in the future are called "top stars".
