Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, starting with the strategy of 95 flowers to counterattack

Chapter 112 Zhang Jingyi plays Wei Lai

On the 10th day of the hit show "Qingqing's Daily Life", the popular male lead Gu Yang released his latest update.

You protect the world, I protect you! @Zhou Ye

The "Tong Yan Couple" are back, embarking on a new journey to create the movie "Better Days" together.

This time, we're not just talking about the simple relationship between actors and roles, but exploring profound themes of youth and redemption together.

School bullying and the struggles of growing up—these realistic and heartbreaking topics will all be presented in the film.

Every day and night during the preparation period was dedicated to crafting the most compelling story. We look forward to meeting everyone in theaters and stepping into this passionate and hopeful world of youth!

This latest update is like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples of excitement.

Countless fans cheered excitedly, especially the fans of the "Tong Yan Couple" (a popular couple on the show).

"CP fans are ecstatic! The Tong Yan couple is so cute! We've been hoping to see them together again ever since their previous collaborations, and now they're in a new movie, the sweetness level is off the charts! We're already ready to watch it two or three times!"

"Gu Yang is such a troublemaker? He's making another movie? Can he handle it?"

"Why can't it be? My Yangyang is just that outstanding! Is it bothering you?"

"Exactly! Even if Gu Yang were to film a pile of shit, I'd still love watching it!"

"Hey, a bunch of brainless fans!"

"Sisters, we've spotted Little Blackie, let's get him!"

Where is the army of Pleasant Goat?

"Aww... The Happy Sheep are here!"

"Gu Yang is going to make a movie!"

This news was like a thunderclap in spring, instantly causing a stir in the WeChat groups of young actresses and their agents.

Unlike previous TV series projects, this is a real movie!
Although everyone knows that Gu Yang has always liked to direct and act in his own films, the final quality of the finished product is still unknown.

Despite the doubts, no one dared to underestimate him.

After all, the phenomenal box office success of "Wolf Warrior 2" (56 billion yuan) speaks for itself, and he can be considered a movie star.

Moreover, Gu Yang is currently enjoying immense popularity, with his online presence and media attention soaring. Even if the film's quality is mediocre, his massive fan base alone would easily guarantee a box office of over 100 million.

If you don't seize this opportunity now, when will you?

Gu Yang's phone was ringing off the hook!
"Reba?"

"What, you sound surprised?"

"Yes, a little. Is this the first time you've called me?"

"Can't you just call me?"

"Ah, well...aren't you busy filming lately?"

"Ha, men! Don't want to take responsibility, huh?"

What the hell?
Gu Yang was completely dumbfounded!
They met when they filmed Running Man, but they haven't been in contact since.

They're going all out right from the start?
"I'm not kidding you, I really wanted to ask our great director if there's a suitable role for me in his new movie?"

"Sister Dilraba, this is a youth campus drama, and you're your age..."

"Ah, Gu Yang!!! You think I'm too old, huh?"

"So you're allowed to tease me, but I can't tease you? Just kidding. Besides me and Zhou Ye, there's only one supporting actor who's somewhat memorable in this movie, and I've already got someone in mind. Sorry, Dilraba!"

"Hmph, is this 'sorry' really so insincere?"

"Huh??? So you mean..."

"Treat me to a meal!"

"no problem!"

"A word is settled!"

"..."

Gu Yang was still a little confused after hanging up the phone.

I have a feeling that this woman's real purpose isn't the new movie, but rather to get him to treat her to dinner?

Before I could think any further, the phone rang again.

Well, it seems like there won't be any peace and quiet for the next few days. I wonder when Nan Nan's movie will be finished filming.

Without her as an assistant, things have definitely become much more troublesome.

……

Yenching, Beijing Film Academy

In the boys' dormitory, Gu Yang was flipping through a textbook called "Fundamentals of Film Directing" when Shen Wei's lazy complaints came from the upper bunk.

"Old Gu, what do you think we're going to do back at school?" Shen Wei asked, barefoot, leaning on the railing. "We've both achieved great things now, it's better not to go back to this crappy school."

This fatso is getting more and more arrogant, even though Gu Yang doesn't really want to go back to school.

"You really think the school leaders are so easy to talk to?" Gu Yang glared at him, annoyed. "Filming for 'Better Days' starts in three days. If you don't hurry up and attend a couple of classes to get some recognition, how are you going to ask Lao Tian for leave later?"

Shen Wei rubbed his head and sat up, revealing a section of his plump white belly under his clothes.

"Speaking of this movie, Zhou Ye plays Chen Nian, you play Liu Beishan, but who's going to play that crazy beauty Wei Lai?" "Didn't I tell you to contact the acting department beforehand and get an audition on campus?"

"Just focusing on your own school?" Shen Wei frowned, then suddenly looked enlightened and leaned closer with a wink.

"Old Gu, hehe, have you set your sights on another girl?"

"Quickly tell your brother, don't worry, I'm tight-lipped!"

Gu Yang was stunned, not expecting that this idiot knew him so well!
"Fatty, I have to criticize you for this!" Gu Yang said seriously, "As representatives of the new generation of directors born in the 95s, we must not encourage such crooked practices as unspoken rules."

"Keep pretending!"

"Hmm? Want to practice?"

"Damn it, you resort to violence when you can't win an argument? Dad, I was wrong!"

After playfully bickering for a while, Gu Yang winked at him and suddenly lowered his voice, "Is the video I asked you to edit finished?"

Shen Wei pulled a USB drive from his pocket, his expression more dramatic than someone watching a horror movie: "The editing is done, but don't you think this is outrageous? You, the male lead, personally editing this kind of video of your own actress?"

"It's for publicity." Gu Yang took the USB drive and stuffed it into his pocket, then grabbed his textbook and slapped it on Shen Wei's chubby shoulder. "Once it trends on social media, the buzz will be there, right?"

"Old Gu!" Shen Wei suddenly raised his voice, "I really have to praise you for this—"

Gu Yang stopped by the door frame and turned around, seeing Shen Wei's lewd smile that said, "I understand you": "You're getting more and more perverted!"

"Get the hell out of here." Gu Yang grabbed a mineral water bottle from the table and threw it, hitting the fat man right between the eyebrows.

Below the girls' dormitory of the Acting Department at Yenching Film Academy, the shadows of the plane trees sway in the early autumn sunlight.

Zhang Jingyi repeatedly adjusted the angle of her beret in front of the mirror, while behind her came the rustling sound of Qiu Tian rummaging through his clothes.

"Are you really going to audition?" Qiu Tian pulled a black knit sweater out of the closet. "I heard that this time I'm auditioning for Wei Lai in 'Better Days,' which is a complete villain."

“It’s precisely because he’s a villain that it’s so interesting.” Zhang Jingyi turned around, her face full of anticipation. “Senior Gu Yang personally came to the school to cast the role. This kind of opportunity is once in a lifetime.”

She bent down to stuff the script into her canvas bag, then suddenly lowered her voice, "You know what? Yesterday I overheard the directors saying in the cafeteria that people who pass the audition can go straight into the crew and act with Zhou Ye."

Qiu Tian paused, and the cardigan in his hand slipped off the edge of the bed.

Hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor as several girls ran past the door, chattering about Gu Yang's new movie.

"But I heard the competition is fierce." Qiu Tian picked up his clothes, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the hem. "The senior students have been rehearsing together for several days, and even students from the Central Academy of Drama next door have asked for connections to submit their resumes."

"Are they that well-informed?"

"Gu Yang's new movie!" Qiu Tian exclaimed, both amused and exasperated. "He can get trending on Douyin just by posting a video of himself drinking milk tea, let alone something as big as casting!"

"Yeah, the competition is really fierce. I wonder if there's any hope?"

Zhang Jingyi walked to the window, where the tree-lined path below was already crowded with girls holding scripts.

A girl in a red dress tiptoes to apply lipstick, while a short-haired girl with gold-rimmed glasses practices her lines repeatedly in front of her phone.

"How will you know if you don't try?" She suddenly turned around, her eyes shining brightly. "Qiu Tian, ​​come with me! Just to give me courage."

Looking at his friend's excited expression, Qiu Tian sighed, "Alright, but I'm just letting you know in advance."

She deliberately put on a stern face, "If you get selected, you'll have to save me a seat when you get food in the cafeteria from now on."

"no problem!"

As the two walked out of the dormitory building side by side, the midday sun shone directly on the audition notice on the bulletin board.

Gu Yang's name was bolded and enlarged, gleaming golden in the sunlight.

Zhang Jingyi gripped the strap of the canvas bag tightly, hearing her own heart pounding, while scenes from the MV rehearsals kept replaying in her mind.

She had a strange feeling that she had a good chance of succeeding in this audition.

Because Gu Yang looked at her strangely, there was always a hint of doting in his eyes.

Inexplicable!
As she expected, she stood out from the many junior students and was selected by Gu Yang.

She will be starring as Wei Lai in the new movie "Better Days"!
……

During the airing of "Qingqing's Daily Life", a video titled "A Mix of Sweet Moments of Two Female Leads Pampering Each Other" quietly went viral on Bilibili.

The content creator "Jiuchuan Ke Xuejia" used the background music from the song "The Years" to connect the interactive scenes between Li Wei (played by Tian Xiwei) and Yuan Ying (played by Li Yitong):

When Li Wei tiptoed to adjust Yuan Ying's hair ornament, her fingertips lightly touched his earlobe; when Yuan Ying was reviewing official documents late at night, Li Wei secretly slipped him osmanthus sugar; and when the two were building a snowman in the snow, Li Wei suddenly jumped into Yuan Ying's arms and acted coquettishly.

Something just doesn't look right!
These details, often overlooked by viewers, unexpectedly create a surprising and delightful effect when processed with slow motion and soft-focus filters.

The short essay pinned below the video, titled "Who Says Women Are Inferior to Men? On the Double Redemption of Yuan Ying and Li Wei," quickly went viral.

The author begins by examining the contrast between the identities of Princess Jinchuan and the young girl from Jichuan, analyzing how the two complement each other spiritually amidst the intertwining of power struggles and everyday life: Yuan Ying teaches Li Wei the philosophy of "overcoming strength with gentleness," while Li Wei uses the free spirit of Jichuan to dispel the gloom in Yuan Ying's heart.

The article quotes lines from the drama, such as "You are the most insightful woman I have ever met" and "Mr. Yuan Ying, I want to become like you," elevating the relationship between the two to a spiritual resonance that transcends worldly concerns.

Netizens were shocked!

They actually discovered that the pairing of these two women seemed even more appealing?
"Can anyone tell me, are they... the kind of relationship I'm thinking of?"

"Gu Yang, you should step aside. A love triangle is too crowded!"

"Tian Xiwei and Li Yitong are such a great couple, let's think of a CP name for them!"

"Then let's call them Tongxin Weimin!"
