Succession

Wen Chu had been Qi Yuan's stunt double for 8 years. From a lowly stand-in to mirroring Qi Yuan's every glance and smile, she had enough.

She finally had her own work, attributed to h...

Chapter 15 Yuanyuan Gu Shao 99

Xi Ning sent a message, and the tablet synced with it. She took a screenshot of the comment section on the trending search: These fans are crazy, they support everything they see, and now they are shouting "When will Yuanyuan and Gu Shao get married?" and "Yuanyuan Gu Shao 99" They are sick.

Xi Ning: The more I read this, the angrier I get. Qi Yuan, after squeezing you out, is now going to stir up a scandal with your boyfriend? I'm going to write a fucking article about her.

Wen Chu saw Xi Ning's message and couldn't answer it. She turned her tablet upside down, leaned over the sofa and stared blankly outside. She fell asleep in the afternoon. When she woke up, it was already past seven o'clock. The email she sent to the company's senior management on her phone had replied to her, saying, "If you want to take the role, just get the consent of Qi Yuan and Shu Mei. You don't need to ask us."

Wen Chu stared at his phone.

Her hopes dashed, she smiled bitterly and got off the sofa. Her aunt was busy in the kitchen. Seeing that she had woken up, she said, "Why are you sleeping in the living room this afternoon? You must be very tired."

Wen Chu sat down on the island counter and drank the soup. She shook her head and said, "Not bad."

She was in a bad mood, and her aunt's heart ached. She didn't know why, but she didn't dare ask any more questions. She just felt that her job was very hard. Sometimes she was away from home for months. Working here, she often had to work night shifts, and her skin was bad. She muttered, "Mr. Gu didn't even think of giving you a new job."

Wen Chu paused in drinking the soup.

Gu Cheng has never forcefully helped her terminate the contract - could it be because of Qi Yuan?

"Bang." Wen Chu suddenly put down the bowl. Auntie was startled and looked at her: "What's wrong? Is the soup too hot or too salty?"

Wen Chu was stunned for a moment, then she shook her head and said, "It's okay."

She picked it up and drank again, finishing the meal with difficulty. She couldn't eat any more, but she had a night scene in the evening, and all these wire work scenes were too tiring, so she had to eat.

The food tasted like chewing wax. After finishing her meal, she took her bag and went downstairs. Uncle Chen was already waiting for her. She got in the car. Neon lights were flashing everywhere. The car started and arrived at the film and television city.

Two actresses from next door came to visit the set and were standing at the door talking to Qi Yuan. Wen Chu got out of the car, and Uncle Chen rolled down the window and greeted Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan looked up and nodded at him.

Uncle Chen drove away. It was just a simple greeting, but Wen Chu cared more than usual. She walked towards the door. Qi Yuan glanced at her lightly, and the two actors did the same, covering their mouths while speaking.

"I heard that you, the stuntman, have a lot on your plate."

Qi Yuan lit a thin cigarette and crossed her arms: "No one has more troubles than her."

She didn't hold back her voice. Wen Chu looked over and met her gaze. There was a blatant arrogance in her eyes. Wen Chu pursed his lips and a sentence emerged in his mind.

Those who are favored are fearless.

Is this what Qi Yuan is like?

Before, although she hated Qi Yuan's arrogance and knew that Qi Yuan looked down on her and bullied her, she had Gu Cheng. But now, thinking that Gu Cheng might have liked Qi Yuan, she seemed to have lost all her confidence. She lowered her head, turned and walked through the corridor to the dressing room.

"Why are you so restless tonight?" the makeup artist asked as she put on her makeup.

Wen Chu came back to his senses and forced a smile, saying, "It's okay."

"If it's too hot, just tell us. We don't have enough electricity here, so we can only supply Teacher Qi's lounge." The makeup artist was also helpless. Wen Chu turned around and saw that everyone here was enduring the heat. Across from her, Qi Yuan was sitting under a fan and air conditioner, flipping through a script, surrounded by several makeup artists.

Wen Chu withdrew his gaze.

The makeup artist sighed, "Teacher Qi's treatment is sometimes really enviable, isn't it?"

Wen Chu clenched his palms.

The night scene will be over in one night, so naturally there will be more to shoot tonight. Wen Chu picked up her skirt and came to the scene. The main scene tonight is [Qingping kidnaps Rong Ye]. The two people disagreed and were afraid of affecting the emperor's decision. In order to prevent Rong Ye from affecting himself, Qingping planned to kidnap him and hide him for a few days.

In other words, Wen Chu needed to be on a wire, and then take Jiang Ran with him. Jiang Ran also had a wire, of course, but the main focus was on Wen Chu. After they buckled their waists, she followed the assistant director's instructions and took Jiang Ran in her arms. Jiang Ran was slightly startled, not expecting her to be so quick. Her fragrance wafted over, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

The fragrance on her body was different from Qi Yuan's. Hers was mainly orchid. Jiang Ran took a sip of water and said to Wen Chu, "I'll leave my life to you later."

Wen Chu smiled at him. She was memorizing the movements and looking for the camera. Jiang Ran was hugged by her and gradually got used to it.

The director yelled “Action!”

Wen Chu and Jiang Ran swung into the air. Wen Chu carried Jiang Ran and ran over the "hill". Jiang Ran found that Wen Chu, who often filmed such martial arts scenes for Qi Yuan, was quite strong. His movements were soft and powerful, and very standard. He was "asleep" with his face brushed by her hair.

Arriving at the "cave," she dumped him inside and then tied his hands, her movements smooth and efficient. The camera panned to her back. After the tying, Wen Chu exited the frame, and Qi Yuan entered. She clapped her hands, her expression akin to a complete success. But perhaps because Wen Chu was so efficient and smooth, Qi Yuan's movements felt a bit sluggish.

The director watched from behind the camera for a while, then poked his head out and said, "Teacher Qi, do it again."

Qi Yuan was stunned. Seeing Wen Chu standing not far away, she knew that the director probably thought she was not smart enough. This was not the first time this happened.

She nodded and said okay.

So start over again.

Wen Chu was right next to the camera, listening to the director and the assistant shaking their heads slightly. He asked the assistant to go up and tidy up Qi Yuan's clothes a little, and asked her kindly to do it again.

The assistant came forward and got a cup of coffee, and walked forward respectfully.

Wen Chu thought absurdly.

If it were any other actor, oh, she would be fine on her own, how could she be treated like this, with the assistant coming up and pulling her around and giving her orders, or the director pinching his waist and pointing at the camera, saying, "Here, what are you looking at?" He can't even find the camera, how can he shoot such a scene?

Wen Chu thought aimlessly as her phone buzzed with messages from Gu Cheng, but she didn't read any of them. She and Jiang Ran reshot this scene several times, followed by several more scenes of the two of them confronting and shoving each other. By the time they finished, it was already daybreak. Since the night scene was the last one, Jiang Ran dismounted from the wire harness.

The director said to Wen Chu, "Teacher Wen, there are still a few more shots. Let's finish them together. The scenes on this set will officially be over."

Wen Chu stood on the high platform.

The night scene was finally finished, and she breathed a sigh of relief, finally ending her reversal of day and night. She agreed. The director's decision was impromptu, and the person deploying the safety bags hadn't noticed, so they were all dragged away. The martial arts instructor, already exhausted, rested nearby. Wen Chu, with the help of another instructor, fastened the hooks around her waist.

The scene begins with Wen Chu being suspended in mid-air and filming begins.

At this moment, the hook on her waist got stuck and Wen Chu flew forward. The wind was whistling and the hook fell off. Wen Chu was concentrating on "flying" and didn't notice it. Suddenly, her whole body lost control and fell down like a slide. Almost in an instant, without any warning, Wen Chu fell on the flat safety bag. Half of her shoulder hurt. She looked up at the ceiling and saw darkness in front of her.

The director was frightened at that moment and rushed forward, but it was too late.

The others were startled awake by the sound.

The scene was in chaos.

The door of Qi Yuan's lounge was closed and did not open. They had no time to knock on the door, so they quickly sent Teacher Wen to the hospital. Fortunately, there was a hospital near the film and television city, and the film and television city was very experienced in dealing with such emergencies.

And at this time.

In Qi Yuan's lounge.

Shu Mei held the phone, her face grim: "What did you say?"

Qi Yuan listened as someone said, "Xingyao contacted us to help Wen Chu terminate his contract and remove the five-year ban from entering the entertainment industry. They can name any terms, any amount!"

Shu Mei gritted her teeth: "Is Xingyao crazy? Is Gu Shao crazy?"

Qi Yuan held a cigarette between her fingers, her eyes narrowed, and she sneered: "It's not that easy, I won't agree to it."

Shu Mei stroked her arm and said, "What happened between you and Mr. Gu? Why did he suddenly do this? Xingyao isn't an agency at all. What is he trying to do? Even if she terminates her contract with us, other companies will boycott her with just a word from us. But what if Mr. Gu really wants to help her?"

The more Qi Yuan thought about it, the uglier her expression became. She said, "Who knows? What's wrong with him? Is it possible that if he really wants to marry her, the Gu family won't agree?"

Shu Mei looked at her and said softly, "Think about it, Master Gu has been so good to you. If Fang Yi hadn't been around eight years ago..."

Qi Yuan bit the cigarette.

She picked up the coffee and took a sip, thinking about Shu Mei's words in her mind. She lowered her eyes and snorted coldly, but she knew clearly what Gu Cheng felt.

She said, "Tell Xingyao to let Gu Cheng contact me alone."

Shu Mei nodded: "Okay."

-

Wen Chu arrived at the hospital half-in pain and half-conscious. Uncle Chen was terrified and called Gu Cheng. The sports car quickly arrived at the hospital. Gu Cheng, dressed in a suit and tie, got out of the car and strode up the stairs. He saw a group of people, including a familiar actor named Jiang Ran, who was helping to pick up Wen Chu and move her to another bed for an examination.

Gu Cheng stepped forward and held the other's wrist. Jiang Ran was stunned. She looked up and met the sharp gaze of Gu Shao from Beijing. Jiang Ran coughed and quickly stepped back. Gu Cheng glanced at Wen Chu on the bed. Her face was pale and her forehead was sweating due to the pain. His heart ached. He bent down, picked her up, and put her on another bed, pushing her in to take an X-ray.

He watched from the doorway as the assistant director was pushed out to handle something. Gu Cheng glanced at the assistant director. It was not like the assistant director had never seen Gu Cheng before, of course he had seen him many times, but he had always been quite casual and gentle. Now, he felt a bit like a rich young master, and he quickly apologized: "It was the people below who didn't do it properly. The emergency bag was withdrawn before the scene was finished. We had been shooting all night, and everyone was sleepy. We didn't pay attention..."

"Didn't you notice?" Gu Cheng grabbed the assistant director by the collar and asked condescendingly. The assistant director was frightened by his strength. "Don't worry, Mr. Gu. We will fully cover the cost of Teacher Wen's subsequent treatment."

Gu Cheng's face was as cold as ice: "Do I need your money?"

The assistant director's forehead was sweating and he was almost shaking. "Mr. Gu, just tell us what you need us to do and how to compensate you. We will do our best to satisfy you."

Gu Cheng's expression was grim: "Just wait for the supervisor to intervene."
