The record company Zhao Wei is currently signed to is a Japanese company called Avex, which is often called Aihui Records in China. In this great era of the record industry, Aihui Records is also at its peak, with titles under its name A large number of well-known Japanese singers even included Lisa Ono in their heyday. The company's channel capabilities are still very strong. Zhao Wei's several albums since Huanzhugege have achieved very good sales.
Chen Kun originally thought that Zhao Wei really wanted to come to visit his class, but he didn't expect that he still had a mission. He couldn't help but joked: "I thought he came to see me specially, but it turns out that you are not interested in drinking. "
Zhao smiled and said, "Didn't I just take care of all my business and private matters together? Shanghai City is very close to Haizhou. The company will send a car to take me there tomorrow."
Chen Kun asked her: "How long do you plan to stay in Haizhou?"
Zhao Wei said: "Many media are paying attention to Simple Plan and this drama. It is estimated that a large number of entertainment media will be present at your opening ceremony tomorrow for interviews. The economic company told me that I must leave on the same day to avoid being taken advantage of by the media. Making a fuss."
Chen Kun thought about it. After all, Zhao Wei is now a popular actress on the front line, and is a star of film, television and singing. She is much bigger than him. If he goes out for a long time, he will probably be recognized by a few people. But no matter where Zhao Wei goes, she is the focus of the media and the public. Her coming to visit his class will be a huge boost to him in terms of public opinion. But if there are negative scandals, then he will really not be able to stand her anymore. .
Zhao Wei's record company also hopes that Zhao Wei can show his goodwill to Simple Plan through this move. Simple Plan has not responded to any invitations from record companies. Everyone can see that they want to wait until after the Spring Festival Gala before selling themselves at a high price. It turns out that Aihui Records is very optimistic about the future of Simple Plan, so I really want to be able to accumulate some friendship through Zhao Wei's visit.
After all, having a big-name star like her come to visit the cast is a great thing for the whole drama and the actors in the drama. It is equivalent to sending a favor through Chen Kun.
The next morning, everyone held a mobilization meeting in the hotel. Ning Hao explained the important links to everyone. As a new layman, Li Mu symbolically asked everyone to work hard. Then the large force went to Haizhou No. 1 Middle School. On the flag-raising stage of Haizhou No. 1 Middle School, a very simple power-on ceremony was prepared. The tentative process of the power-on ceremony is: Ning Hao will speak on behalf of the crew, the school leaders will speak on behalf of the school, and Li Mu will come on stage to express his thanks, and then announce the official start-up. The entire booting ceremony is complete.
Most crew opening ceremonies are relatively complicated. Not only do they have to hold a press conference, but they also have to set up an offering table, place offerings, and offer and burn incense. However, you can save it when you go to Li Mu. Except for a banner, there is nothing else. No.
Many media reporters who came over did not know who the director of this movie was before the opening ceremony. The reason they came over was simply because of Simple Plan. Recently, Simple Plan has stopped all announcements and interviews. It seems that They are fully preparing for the Spring Festival Gala, and the media is paying great attention to them, hoping to get exclusive news.
During the preparation stage for the power-on ceremony, more than a dozen media reporters came one after another. As soon as the reporters arrived at the school, they tried to find the lounge where the four Simple Plan people were. A group of reporters went into the political and education building and searched without success. We returned to the small square in front of the school's flag-raising platform and waited. At this moment, the four Simple Plans and Chen Kun were all staying in a GL8 in the corner of the square. Chen Kun was looking through the car window with a black film. Looking at a large group of media reporters digging into the ground, I feel envious in my heart. Those who can get this kind of media treatment are basically well-deserved first-tier stars. Now I can only be regarded as a third-tier star, and Zhang Kexuan behind him is a first-tier star. .
It was approaching the scheduled start time of the power-on ceremony. A Mercedes-Benz sedan drove to the main entrance of Haizhou No. 1 Middle School. The driver honked the horn. The school security guard, who had already received instructions from the school leaders not to stop public vehicles today, hurriedly opened the door. Put the Mercedes-Benz in.
The Mercedes-Benz drove all the way to the square. As soon as it appeared in the media's sight, it was immediately captured by the keen media. Then a large group of media reporters rushed towards the Mercedes-Benz with long guns and short cannons. They thought Zhang Kexuan would be in this car. In the car, but when I got closer, I realized that the person sitting in the car turned out to be one of the most popular stars nowadays, the star of film, television and singing - Zhao Wei.
This made the media feel as if they had discovered a new world. The scene exploded. Many reporters shouted through the car door: "Zhao Wei! Hello Zhao Wei! Please look here!"
Click, click…
Zhao Wei didn't expect that he would be blocked by the media as soon as he came in. When he looked out of the car window, almost all he saw were reporters and photographic equipment. He quickly called Chen Kun. Chen Kun originally realized that he was surrounded in the distance. The car was probably the car Zhao Wei was riding in, because Zhang Kexuan was still in the car he was riding in. Apart from Zhao Wei, no one in Haizhou could possibly provoke such crazy media enthusiasm.
Just as he was about to get off the car, Zhao Wei called and asked, "Xiao Kun, where are you?"
Chen Kun said hurriedly: "I'm coming right now, please wait for me!"
After saying that, Chen Kun pushed open the door and ran all the way.
Li Mu handed over the scene layout to Ning Hao, and hid in the lounge provided by the school to communicate with Du Wei about some shots taken in the afternoon. Ning Hao's voice came from the intercom: "Director Li, Director Li, come to the square quickly, the scene It’s a bit chaotic, it seems Zhao Wei is here!”
Li Mu picked up the walkie-talkie and asked instinctively: "What? Zhao Wei? Take Zhao Wei?"
Ning Hao said: "Who else could it be, Zhao Wei, Xiao Yanzi Zhao Wei!"
"Ah!" A scream came from beside her, and Du Wei's face was full of excitement: "Zhao Wei is here? Where is she? I'm going to find her to get an autograph!"
Li Mu said hurriedly: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. I'm probably here to visit the class. I'll go to the scene first to check the situation."
Du Wei asked: "Why is Zhao Wei, such a big star, coming to visit our class?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with us. Chen Kun is her good friend and they were classmates in college."
Du Wei suddenly realized: "So that's it, I'll go and see with you!"
Li Mu asked Chen Ze, who was playing with Snake, "Do you want to watch it together?"
Chen Ze waved his hands and said with a look of despair: "If I don't chase stars, I won't join in the fun."
Li Mu came out of the lounge with Du Wei. The situation at the scene had stabilized a lot. Ning Hao, Chen Kun and a bunch of staff isolated the reporter from Zhao Wei's car. The reporter also calmed down a little and was no longer like before. There was such a swarm of chirping, but they stood there and kept shooting with equipment.
At this time, Zhao Wei also got out of the car and said hello to Chen Kun. The reporters at the scene shouted and asked her: "Zhao Wei, why did you appear at the opening ceremony of "Oldboy" today?"
Zhao Wei nodded to the media reporters and said in a friendly manner: "Chen Kun and I are college classmates, good friends, and good buddies. I just finished filming in Shanghai, so I stopped by to visit the class."
Another reporter asked: "Has your role in "The Unparalleled" been completed?"
Zhao Wei nodded: "It's finished."
Another reporter asked: "How do you feel about this collaboration with the singing queen Wang Fei? Some media reported that you had conflicts while filming. Is it true?"
Zhao smiled and said: "My cooperation with Sister Fei is very good. Well, can we do the interview later? Because I am here to support my friend's movie, so don't delay other people's affairs."
At this time, Ning Hao also hurriedly took the loudspeaker and said: "Our media friends, please return to the media area first. We will definitely give you time and opportunity for interviews after the opening ceremony."
Although the media did not want to let Zhao Wei go so easily, many staff members stopped in front of everyone. Zhao Wei followed Chen Kun in another direction, and everyone could not catch up with her, so they had to give up temporarily.
Li Mu and Du Wei just walked up to him. Chen Kun took Zhao Wei directly to Li Mu and introduced to Li Mu: "Director Li, Zhao Wei is my classmate and good friend, and he came to visit the class."
Although Li Mu is not a fan of Zhao Wei, he did like the TV series Huanzhugege when he was in middle school. This TV series was so popular at the time that it was no exaggeration to say that it was crowded with people. Then, Zhao Wei kept She released singles and albums, acted in movies, and acted in Love in the Rain. At that time, she could be regarded as one of the most influential female stars, so when he first saw her, Li Mu felt a little excited.
Du Wei next to her was even more excited. As soon as Li Muchang finished welcoming Zhao Wei to visit the class, she couldn't help but said excitedly: "Sister Zhao Wei, I am your loyal fan, can you sign your autograph for me? "
Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, have you brought your pen?"
Du Wei groaned and shook her head in frustration. Zhao Wei smiled and said, "It's okay. I can sign it when I find it later. We can take a few photos together."
Du Wei didn't expect Zhao Wei to be so friendly and peaceful, and nodded happily. Li Mu looked at the time, picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Ning Hao, Ning Hao, I'll leave the outside matters to you first. Everything is going according to plan. I'll be there soon." When you appear with others, please notify me in advance."
Ning Hao replied on the intercom: "OK!"
Li Mu added: "Kexuan, Kexuan, don't rest in the car. You go to the lounge first. We have a distinguished guest from the crew. I will take the guest there later."
Zhang Kexuan had long heard the news of Zhao Wei's arrival on the intercom and had been hesitating whether to come over. After hearing Li Mu's instructions, he immediately replied with a "ok", then got out of the car and went to the lounge before the media noticed. .
As soon as everyone arrived in the lounge, Li Mu introduced the four people from Simple Plan to Zhao Wei. Unexpectedly, in front of the four of them, Zhao Wei became a little too modest. He kept praising how good Simple Plan's songs were and how good he was. I like it so much that it makes Zhang Kexuan feel flattered. He is about the same age as Zhao Wei, but he has been popular for several years, and he attended the Spring Festival Gala last year. Although the results of the four singles were very good, he knew in his heart that these four songs were all Li Mu's original works and had little to do with him, so now that he was praised so much by Zhao Wei, he felt somewhat guilty.
Zhao Wei soon had a lively chat with Zhang Kexuan and the others, talking about music and records. Zhang Kexuan asked Zhao Wei when he would prepare for the next album. Zhao Wei sighed: "Actually, I am not a professional singer. My talent in singing is only average, and I know my own limitations, so I want to focus on movies and TV in the next few years, leaving music aside for the time being."
Zhao Wei originally studied acting. The reason why he embarked on the road of singing was that the production team of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" had something to do with Qiong Yao's preferences. Qiong Yao and Li Zhengfan supported most of the themes of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" He composed the song and deliberately trained several of the leading actors in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" to become singers. In addition to Su Youpeng who was originally a singer, Zhao Wei, Lin Xinru, and Zhou Jie all participated in singing the theme song and interludes.
As the first heroine, Zhao Wei has good singing skills. She also sang familiar songs such as "There is a Girl" and "Can't Break Up with You" in the play. After arousing a huge response from the audience, she really took the stage. However, according to Zhao Wei's later description, she was somewhat resistant and unconfident about singing.
In fact, Zhao Wei really didn't want to sing anymore in 2001, and she didn't plan to release another album for herself in the next three years. Because of this, she hoped to help Ai Hui Records sign a contract with Simple Plan. A kind of compensation for Aihui Records.
As soon as Zhao Wei said that he was going to suspend his singing career, Chen Kun, Du Wei and the other four people from Simple Plan all offered words of advice. After all, it is not easy to have such a good situation, and it would be a pity to throw it away like this.
Zhao Wei was very indifferent to this and just smiled and said: "I won't sing for the time being because I want to do my best in the acting career that I love more. If I still want to sing one day, I will definitely continue to sing."
Everyone chatted for a while and felt a lot more familiar with each other. Zhang Kexuan had even exchanged phone numbers with Zhao Wei. Ning Hao said on the intercom that the power-on ceremony was about to begin. Li Mu asked Zhao Wei and Chen Kun to have a simple plan. People are resting in the lounge now. If the eight of them go out at this time, the entire power-on ceremony may not be able to proceed.
Du Wei didn't follow because she wanted to chat with Zhao Wei. Li Mu came out of the lounge alone and went straight to the small square of the school.
At this time, thousands of people have gathered in the small square in front of the flag-raising platform. The school has not started yet, and many students are waiting silently below. The order at the scene is also very good, and the staff are making final preparations in an orderly manner. A student actor from Yanjing Film Academy and China National Theater also acted as a volunteer to help the crew on site.
Li Mu stood in the audience, watching the staff busy coming and going, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by a girl with a ponytail.
At first glance, this girl does not look very outstanding. Her dress is not fashionable. Although her skin is smooth, she is not fair. She has a big forehead but not big eyes. At first glance, she can only be regarded as an ordinary person. However, Just such an ordinary girl shocked Li Mu so much that he was speechless.
Li Mu called Ning Hao, who was busy, to his side, quietly pointed at the ponytail girl, and asked him: "When did this girl come?"
Ning Hao glanced at it and said casually: "Oh, she is a girl from Chinese drama. Aren't there two girls from Chinese drama in our group? This girl is their classmate, but she is studying directing. She originally wanted to I came with them and learned some experience along the way, but since she is not a staff member of our crew, and she is not an actor on the crew, I can't reimburse her for her air ticket, so she took a hard seat all night to come by herself, and she just arrived in the morning. "
After hearing this, Li Mu stomped his feet: "Look at what you've done? Who can become poorer by booking more air tickets? You can't do that for a man like you, if you let someone sit on a hard seat all night!"
Ning Hao was confused when Li Mu said: "Brother, I am saving money for the crew. A plane ticket is not cheap!"
After saying that, Ning Hao looked resentful: "Have you fallen in love with her? Now you are starting to pity her."
Li Mu shook his head and said: "You, you, you are so stupid. Can't you see the potential in this girl? Her appearance, her temperament, and her style will definitely become popular in the future... "
Ning Hao stared at the ponytail girl in surprise for a long time, then turned to look at Li Mu, with a look on his face as if he was sick, and said: "Brother, why are your eyes so sharp? You said Du Wei's image and temperament are not good. Say, I am really convinced by this, but this girl you are talking about... I’m sorry, but I really can’t agree with her.”
Li Mu looked at the girl again, trying his best to put aside the memory of her future appearance in his mind and just look at her current appearance. To be honest, she was really not that outstanding. She was the type who became more and more interesting the more she looked at her. With the continuous development of fashion, it will take at least several years for her to find a dressing style that suits her. Now the simplest dress, without makeup, really lacks a bit of appeal.
When Ning Hao saw Li Mu staring at her, he asked tentatively: "Is this all you like? Do you like lazy and earthy girls like this?"
Li Mu scolded: "Bullshit! How do you know that someone is lazy and uncouth?"
Ning Hao curled his lips and said: "Look for yourself, isn't this outfit of earthy yellow down jacket, gray and fat jeans, and white Li-Ning sneakers not enough? Also, look at her, a Chinese drama student who even wears makeup. I don’t even have the consciousness to do it, I don’t even bother to do my hair, I just tie it into a ponytail, isn’t it lazy?”
"Fuck you, uncle." Li Mu scolded with a smile: "Please contact me and try your best to sign in to our Makino Image later."
Ning Hao said awkwardly: "Brother, she is studying directing and is only a sophomore this year. Do you also want to invest money in making a movie for her?"
Li Mu waved his hand: "I want to sign her as an actress."
