Huayu is free to do as you like

After finishing the company's business, Gu Wei's plane departed from Beijing to France, starting his journey to shoot "John Wick 4".

In fact, the crew started shooting earlier, but the first thing they shot was Keanu Reeves' personal scenes.

For example, the scene at the beginning of the movie where John Wick chased and killed The Elder in the desert was shot in the Wadi Rum Desert in Jordan.

Gu Wei had nothing to do with this kind of scene, so he naturally didn't need to go there.

"Boss, how long will it take for us to shoot this time?"

"It will take more than two months."

"Wouldn't that mean we have to spend the New Year in France, but it's not bad either. We should be able to watch the Spring Festival Gala in Paris, right?"

Gu Wei glanced at Yang Chaoyue, who had been chattering since he got on the plane.

"You can watch it, but the two months I mentioned is the time it takes for the crew to finish filming.

You don't have that many scenes, so you can finish filming in more than half a month.

This is because we can't focus on filming your scenes outside the country, otherwise it would be enough in a few days.

You have enough time to return home to celebrate the Spring Festival and watch the Spring Festival Gala."

Gu Wei took Yang Chaoyue with him on this trip.

The other party played his sister in the movie, a tool-like role, with not many scenes, but the shots she appeared in were a bit fragmented.

"Hehe, I'm not in a hurry. It's not easy to get such an opportunity to shoot a big movie. I can stay in the crew for a while and learn from you, the boss."

"Didn't the company arrange any work for you during the period before and after the Spring Festival?"

Yang Chaoyue shook his head: "No, Mr. Yang said that the most important thing for me now is to shoot this movie with my boss.

Everything else can be put aside.

I thought it was a good opportunity to take a break. I heard that our drama was shot all over the world, so I'll treat it as a trip."

After saying that, she raised her head slightly, as if she was imagining this pleasant journey.

Gu Wei looked at Yang Chaoyue and nodded slightly. He had no opinion on the other party's lazy behavior.

"Did Yang Liwen tell you that you will have another movie with the same role later?"

"She mentioned it before, saying that you will shoot it together with your boss, but I didn't get the script, and I was a little confused."

Gu Wei thought about it and explained to her: "The preparation of that play has not started yet, and the script has just been completed. It's normal that you didn't get it.

Simply put, we use the character settings in "John Wick 4" and shoot a new movie separately.

It's just a brand new story."

Yang Chaoyue's eyes turned: "Am I the heroine in that new movie?"

Gu Wei smiled and said: "I guess so. Have you seen "Taken"? The plot is similar to that."

He pointed at himself and then at Yang Chaoyue: "Brother Rescue the kidnapped sister."

"I see!

Isn't that the same as the plot in our movie? I am also kidnapped in this movie."

"Of course it's different.

The main plot of this movie is the conflict between John Wick and the High Table, and the plot of "Lin Wei" played by me will eventually be incorporated into the main plot.

And your role is even lighter, basically to explain why "Lin Wei" obeyed the villain's orders and fought John Wick.

The new movie is completely centered around the two of us.

Your kidnapping and my rescue of you are the main plot. "

Yang Chaoyue nodded: "I see, anyway, I will be kidnapped anyway, it feels pretty miserable!"

Gu Wei was also amused by her.

"Don't think too far ahead. How are you preparing for the drama we are about to shoot?"

Yang Chaoyue patted his chest confidently: "Don't worry, boss, there will be no problem!

After I got the script, I have been studying the role, memorizing the lines, and also found a special acting teacher.

I will definitely not let you down when we shoot!"

"Haha, then I'll see how you perform~"

The flight distance from Beijing to Paris is about 8,500 kilometers, and the direct flight takes about 10 hours.

When Yang Chaoyue first boarded the plane, she was still full of energy and kept chatting with Gu Wei.

After a long time, she felt a little bored and her spirit became tired. After saying hello, she went to sleep in the bedroom at the tail of the plane.

There is a 7-hour time difference between Beijing and Paris. Gu Wei and his team took off during the day and landed in Paris after flying for more than 10 hours.

After arriving in Paris, Gu Wei joined the crew of "John Wick 4". He first met the producer from Lionsgate and the director of the film, and then the real central figure of this series of films - Keanu Reeves.

This Hollywood legend can be said to be a legendary star. He once starred in "The Matrix" which was popular all over the world, and the name of the savior "Neo" is well-known to everyone.

Although he didn't know him before, Gu Wei has always had a certain good impression of Keanu Reeves.

As far as he knows, Keanu Reeves is very generous and particularly values ​​friends.

When filming the first "Matrix", Keanu only took 10 million US dollars and 10% of the share due to the uncertain box office prospects before the release. As a result, the film's global box office of 463 million made him a profit of 56 million.

In the subsequent two sequels, his share was increased to 15%, with a total income of 175 million.

But he believed that the main creative staff played the greatest role in the success of a movie, so he distributed a large part of the salary to the costume and special effects department, making many people become millionaires at once.

During the filming of "The Matrix", Keanu Reeves became very good friends with Chen Hu, a martial arts instructor from the Yuen Clan.

Later, in order to promote Chen Hu, he even personally directed a movie [Tai Chi Man], letting Chen Hu play the protagonist and himself playing the villain.

It's a pity that Keanu Reeves is a good actor, but not a good director.

"Hello, Keanu, it's a pleasure to work with you!"

The two shook hands and exchanged a few words.

Keanu Reeves was also very polite to Gu Wei.

"Gu, I've heard your songs.

Although not many, but every song is a classic and very nice!"

"Which one do you like best?"

"The melody of [Dance Monkey] is very pleasant, and people can't help but dance along; [Natural] has a strong rhythm and a strong sense of power.

But my favorite is [Sold Out].

It feels like there is something sacred in the melody of this song, which can inspire people like a war song!"

Keanu Reeves has a full beard. He is 58 years old this year and looks a little old, but he is in good spirits and smiles very kindly.

The atmosphere of the first meeting between the two was very friendly and they had a good chat.

Keanu Reeves said he liked Gu Wei's music, and Gu Wei said he used to love watching his "The Matrix".

The producer of Lionsgate was relieved to see this scene.

The "John Wick" series has been filmed to the fourth film, and Keanu Reeves can be said to be the absolute center of the film.

Just like Robert Downey Jr. to Iron Man and Johnny Depp to Captain Jack.

And Gu Wei is their chosen partner, and is the key figure to push the fourth film of this series to another height.

If the two people are not in harmony, it will be a nightmare for the filming of the movie.

But now it seems that the first meeting between the two was still very harmonious, and there was a sense of mutual appreciation.

I just hope that the two protagonists can maintain this relationship in the subsequent filming.

There was no filming on the first day of joining the group. After getting to know people from all walks of life, Gu Wei and his group returned to the hotel to settle down.

"Boss, are you a fan of Keanu Reeves?"

Yang Chaoyue asked curiously.

"Why do you think so?"

"I rarely see you so enthusiastic towards a male star you just met. I'm not surprised if you have this attitude towards a popular Hollywood female star."

Gu Wei slapped Yang Chaoyue's head in annoyance.

"What do you think about in your little head every day?

Is this how I look in your eyes?"

Yang Chaoyue covered his head and muttered softly: "I have been your assistant for two years. Don't I know what you are like?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Ah, no, I said, boss, you must have your own reasons for liking Keanu Reeves!" Yang Chaoyue blinked his big eyes and said innocently.

Gu Wei nodded.

"I do have a good impression of him, partly because of "Neo" in [The Matrix], and partly because of him."

"Himself?

Is there anything different about him?

I heard that Hollywood stars have very messy private lives, which are much more complicated than those in the domestic entertainment industry."

Gu Wei smiled: "You are right, but Keanu Reeves is a little different.

When he is not filming, he lives almost the same life as ordinary people. He often wanders aimlessly on the street alone, dressed casually and unkemptly, and has no bodyguards or staff around him.

For a while, people even saw him sitting on the street chatting and drinking with beggars.

So everyone gave him the nickname "Hollywood Wanderer."

"A top Hollywood star like him would be like this, is it not a personality setting?"

As a beneficiary of the "koi" personality setting, Yang Chaoyue has a deep understanding of the stars' creation of their own personality settings.

Gu Wei shook his head: "Probably not.

His eccentricity is well-known in Hollywood.

And this character is probably due to his tragic life experience.

Keanu Reeves' life experience is no secret. He was born in a problem family. The shadow of his childhood made him value his family and friends very much.

As a result, when he was in his early 20s, his best friend died of drugs.

He was hit hard.

He and his girlfriend gave birth to a daughter in his 30s, but the child died at birth.

This was not tragic enough. His girlfriend also died in a car accident the following year. Keanu Reeves personally carried the coffin at the funeral.

Not long after, his sister was diagnosed with leukemia again. For this reason, he donated a large sum of money to several hospitals specializing in leukemia."

After hearing what Gu Wei said, Yang Chaoyue frowned.

"I felt that I was unlucky because my family was poor when I was a child. I didn't expect that such a big star like him would have such a miserable experience!

Now that I think about it, at least my parents are still alive and in good health.

Since I joined the company a few years ago, I have earned more money and my family's conditions have become better and better.

So I am much luckier than him."

"That's why you should cherish your current life more, work hard to make movies, and let your family live a better life," Gu Wei said with a smile.

Filming "John Wick 4" was Gu Wei's first collaboration with a Hollywood team. At the beginning, he was a little uncomfortable, but after a few days, he was completely in the state.

There are not many literary scenes in this movie, and the story is very simple. The highlights are basically concentrated on fighting and killing.

Most of the scenes shot by the crew every day are fighting and gun battles, and Gu Wei, who has a strong physical fitness, is particularly good at this.

In the early years, when he was filming "Operation Mekong", he was already familiar with various firearms, and action scenes were the first field that Gu Wei came into contact with. He had a very exciting fighting performance in his first play "Embroidered Spring Blade".

Although the fighting in "John Wick" is not of the same style as "Embroidered Spring Blade", it does not affect Gu Wei's performance. His skills are neat and tidy in the camera, with a unique rhythm, which makes people feel that this person must be a master at a glance.

"Ka! Very good, passed!"

In the venue, the director's voice came from the loudspeaker, and the actors who fell to the ground got up one after another.

"Sorry, are you okay?"

Gu Wei also stood up and stretched out his hand to Keanu Reeves.

The other party was lying on the ground, holding his hand and being pulled up.

The two just shot the scene where "Lin Wei" met "John Wick" for the first time and fought with him.

Lin Wei was killing everyone in John Wick's home turf, and after a series of battles, he knocked down the opponent. At this time, a third-party killer appeared, and he let John Wick go.

"Your action scenes are really good, with a feeling of flowing water.

Do you really know kung fu?"

Keanu Reeves stood up and patted the dirt on his body and asked curiously.

"I don't know kung fu, but the action scenes are good because I practiced well before filming.

The first movie in my life was a martial arts movie. I got up early every day to practice weapons and boxing and kicking routines, just to make the movie look good.

Facts have proved that it is indeed useful, and I have benefited a lot over the years!"

Gu Wei explained with a smile.

"Kung fu routines, I have practiced too!

I became a disciple when I was filming "The Matrix" 20 years ago.

Maybe I am too old now, my body can't keep up, and I feel that my movements are not as agile as when I was young."

"Haha, friend, this is not a problem for you.

You are John Wick, a master of guns!"

After chatting with Keanu Reeves for a few words, Gu Wei walked to the rest area on the side.

Agent Yang Dan stood beside him.

"How is it going in China?"

"The premiere ceremony of [Yang Jian: Searching the Mountain and Conquering the Demons] held today was very successful.

Many celebrities came to support it.

The VCR you recorded in advance was also played at the premiere.

The company has also made marketing arrangements, and a large number of film reviews praising the movie will be released tomorrow."

Gu Wei nodded.

"We have basically done our best before the movie is released. Now it depends on how [Yang Jian] performs in three days.

I don't expect to reach the level of [Nezha]. If I can make 20 to 30 billion and keep the reputation, this Fengshen animation universe will be truly established!"

After saying that, he thought of something and instructed Yang Dan: "You will post a Weibo post on my account to support [Yang Jian], and don't forget to post it on Douyin.

Just use the VCR I recorded before."

Gu Wei's Douyin fans are currently the first on all platforms, and his Weibo fans are also in the top ten. His publicity effect is still very good.

"Okay!"

"By the way, post another Weibo to promote "Watergate Bridge". I am still the lead actor in this drama, so we can't favor one over the other."

Gu Wei had already made arrangements with Yu Dong before going abroad to film, so Xu Ke led the other actors in the promotional roadshow for "Watergate Bridge".

Apart from him, the other lead actor Wu Jing did not go on the roadshow. He was filming in the crew of "The Wandering Earth 2" and only went to participate in the premiere of "Watergate Bridge".
