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 27 Don’t move everything, leave some...
-
Drunk but still conscious, Wen Chu knew what she was saying, but she was tired of talking too much. She leaned back in her chair and drifted off to sleep. Zhu Ru was still texting Xi Ning.
Gu Cheng asked in a low voice, "Where do you live?"
Zhu Ru looked up and said, "West City Old Town."
"I'll take you home first." The Porsche turned and changed lanes, heading towards West City. Zhu Ru paused, glancing at Wen Chu beside her. She knew Wen Chu lived in the suburbs and would have to take the highway, so it would be best to take her first. Since Editor-in-Chief Xi was on his way, there was no need to worry.
soon.
Arrive at the old town.
Zhu Ru got out of the car, walked around to the driver's seat, knocked on the window, and said to Gu Cheng, "Please take good care of her."
Gu Cheng nodded.
The window rolled up and the car drove off. The black Porsche headed toward the highway. Gu Cheng looked at her in the rearview mirror. Wen Chu was asleep, her head tilted to one side, her hair soft. There was something gentle and peaceful about her.
Her shoulders shuddered. Gu Cheng looked away and adjusted the air conditioning. The Porsche pulled over, hazard lights on. He got out, took the beige pillow Wen Chu had bought, and unfolded it. He bent down and carefully covered her with it. She slept soundly, a faint scent of alcohol on her body, her breathing even.
Gu Cheng looked at her for a long time, until several sports cars drove past from behind, raising a gust of wind, as if waking up a dreamer. Only then did Gu Cheng straighten up, close the car door, and return to the driver's seat.
The hazard lights were turned off and the car continued to drive.
During rush hour, this short highway is often congested, but it is much better and quieter at night.
Half an hour later, the Porsche slowly drove off the highway and arrived outside Chunfengli Community. Gu Cheng got out of the car and glanced at the window of the apartment where they lived without turning on the lights.
Xi Ning hasn't replied yet.
He leaned against the car, lit a cigarette, bit it, and the smoke curled up.
After finishing a cigarette, he unbuttoned his collar, opened the car door, and went to see her. Wen Chu was still asleep, her hair draped over her shoulders, her eyes and eyebrows gentle.
Gu Cheng looked at her for a few seconds.
Unable to stop the restlessness in his heart, he couldn't control himself and leaned over, getting close to her and sniffing the fragrance of her neck. Wen Chu murmured in his sleep: "Get out."
Gu Cheng paused and whispered into her neck, "Okay."
However, he did not leave immediately. After stepping back a little, he kissed her between the eyebrows. Then he officially left and leaned against the car, waiting for Xi Ning.
Xi Ning finally arrived after hurrying for a while. The herdsman stopped and he saw Gu Cheng leaning against the car and talking on his cell phone. He had broad shoulders and long legs, and was wearing a black shirt with his sleeves rolled up. He was indeed handsome.
She got out of the car and asked, "Where's she?"
Gu Cheng raised his eyes and said, "Asleep."
"Oh, then I'll wake her up." Xi Ning stepped forward.
Gu Cheng said, "Don't bother her. I'll carry her up."
Xi Ning: “….”
"Okay." Xi Ning took out the house key.
Gu Cheng opened the car door again, gently removed the blanket from Wen Chu, and lifted her up by the waist. Xi Ning helped carry Wen Chu's small bag and phone, walked in front, and swiped her card to enter. Strangely enough, she and Gu Cheng had been quite confrontational before, but after Wen Chu broke up with Gu Cheng, these confrontations had become less frequent.
She thought about it and felt that it was because Gu Cheng lowered his attitude and changed a little that she could no longer confront him.
Opened the door.
After putting Wen Chu on the sofa bed, Gu Cheng covered her with a blanket and left. He said to Xi Ning, "Prepare some hangover medicine for her. She might get up and vomit in the middle of the night."
Xi Ning nodded: "I understand, don't worry."
Gu Cheng glanced at the woman on the sofa bed again before leaving. Xi Ning closed the door and went to take care of Wen Chu.
-
The alcohol was taking effect, and Wen Chu felt uncomfortable in the middle of the night. He got up and ran to the bathroom several times. Xi Ning was typing on the keyboard and pointed at the hangover pills on the table: "Take one. You have to go to the crew tomorrow."
Wen Chu nodded drowsily and took the medicine. After taking it, he felt much better. So he slept until dawn. After waking up, Wen Chu washed up, had breakfast with Xi Ning, and then went back to Jinyu to collect his luggage.
She had never been back since she left after arguing with Gu Cheng last time. Maybe some scenes of her life here would flash through her mind occasionally, but they would soon disappear.
Wen Chu didn't know whether Gu Cheng had changed his password, but she planned to try it first and call him if it didn't work. As soon as she approached the door, facial recognition was activated.
She paused, lowered her eyes and pushed open the door. It was naturally deserted inside.
Xi Ning accompanied her inside and said, "Your facial recognition is still there... He didn't remove it."
Wen Chu nodded, strode into the cloakroom, took out her suitcase, and began to pack her clothes. While packing, her eyes happened to sweep across the wardrobe door.
Xi Ning leaned against the door, opened it a little and took a look.
The wardrobe was empty, without a single piece of clothing. Xi Ning remembered what Wen Chu said, that there should be a whole closet of clothes here, the same style as "Qi Yuan".
But it's no longer here.
She said, "Has it been cleared?"
Wen Chu pretended she didn't hear anything and continued packing. She only packed one suitcase and didn't have time to pack anything else. She left with the suitcase.
Xi Ning looked around the living room and found the sofa a bit messy. Compared to the cleanliness of the master bedroom, it looked like someone had occasionally slept on it. "Xi Ning, let's go."
Wen Chu said.
At this time, her cell phone rang. When she looked at it, she knew there was surveillance here and the caller was Gu Cheng.
She picked up the phone and said, "I'll get the luggage."
Gu Cheng said in a low voice: "I know."
He was silent for a second, then said, "Don't move all of it, leave some, okay?"
Wen Chu pursed her lips: "Why leave some? I'll call someone to move it away in a couple of days..."
"Then I can only change the lock." Gu Cheng said.
Wen Chu frowned: "What are you doing!"
Gu Cheng: "Just focus on filming first, and we'll talk about it when you're done."
Wen Chu: "..."
She hung up the phone abruptly. Xi Ning looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wen Chu looked at the time and didn't want to say more, so he said, "It's okay, let's go."
Xi Ning raised an eyebrow.
After the two people left, Qi Meng's business car had already stopped at the gate of the community. Zhu Ru wore a pair of sunglasses to block the sunlight, looked up at the community, and clicked her tongue twice.
“It’s expensive.”
Seeing Wen Chu coming out, she immediately carried Wen Chu's luggage. Wen Chu said goodbye to Xi Ning, and Xi Ning pinched her face and said, "Do your best."
Wen Chu smiled and said, "Okay."
She got in the car.
Zhu Ru acted decisively and said to Xi Ning, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Wen Chu."
Xi Ning smiled and said, "Boss Zhu, I'm sorry for the trouble."
Zhu Ru smiled and said, "As I should. I'll have more to trouble Editor-in-Chief Xi later."
"no problem."
The business car started and headed for the airport. This time, the filming of "Bright Moon Evening" was in Hengdian, not Beijing. Wen Chu had previously been with Qi Yuan's crew, flying all over the place and visiting all the major film and television studios. So, Hengdian was no stranger to him. After getting off the plane, he followed the car to Hengdian.
After the luggage was delivered to the hotel, Zhu Ru accompanied Wen Chu to take the final photos. As soon as the door opened, she saw Jiang Ran standing and talking with his agent.
Zhu Ru smiled and said, "Teacher Jiang, I didn't expect it was really you."
Jiang Ran smiled slightly: "Hello."
He turned his gaze to Wen Chu, and said even more gently, "Teacher Wen, we meet again."
Wen Chu hadn't expected that Jiang Ran would be the male lead in "Feng Yue Wan", the new emperor. No wonder Director Tang said that she knew the male lead. She did know him and had just met him in "Qing Ping Chuan".
She also smiled slightly: "Teacher Jiang, I appreciate your guidance."
Jiang Ran smiled and said, "Let's make progress together."
Zhu Ru smiled and said, "It would be best if we all knew each other. It would save us a lot of time getting used to each other."
Jiang Ran's agent smiled and said, "Yes."
"Teacher Wen is here, right? Come on, let's take a look at the costumes first." The makeup artist waved over, holding a set of costumes. Zhu Ru said to Jiang Ran, then smiled and pulled Wen Chu over. Wen Chu nodded to Jiang Ran and his agent, then walked towards the makeup artist, and several assistants gathered around him.
They helped Wen Chu put on her clothes and looked at her curiously.
A new debut actress who is not famous but has become a hot topic. She used to be Qi Yuan's stand-in, but now she has taken on the role of the heroine of Director Tang.
It's like a legendary existence.
Everyone was trying to gauge her personality, whether she was easy to get along with, whether she was arrogant or overbearing. Because there were so many different opinions in the industry, how she managed to get Xingyao to help terminate her contract and then quickly sign with Qimeng, and her background was a mystery, making it difficult to discuss it easily, so they could only test her personality first.
Jiang Ran's agent crossed his arms, looking at the actress who was like a star surrounded by stars. He glanced at Jiang Ran and said, "Were you surprised when you found out she was the leading actress?"
Jiang Ran nodded: "Of course."
Jiang Ran's agent whispered, "I heard that she and Mr. Gu have broken up, but Xingyao still stood up for her. It seems that their breakup was strange."
Jiang Ran had met the young man from the Gu family in Beijing. He was young, yet his every move exuded nobility. His car was free, and every time he came to pick up Wen Chu, it was a different one. Of course, he had also seen him in the media. Sometimes, the young masters of these large families were truly unpredictable. Their depth was unfathomable.
Zhu Ru stood by and chatted with the people in the crew with a smile, trying to get close to them.
Seeing how respectful they were to Wen Chu, she felt relieved. As long as everyone behaved appropriately, there was nothing to worry about. It was actually the first time Wen Chu was surrounded by so many people. She should have been nervous, but as they interacted, she gradually got used to the crowd and gradually let go of her nervousness.
The outfit she wore for her final makeup photo was a red top with a gold-threaded skirt, which she wore while standing beside the new emperor at the banquet. It perfectly matched Jiang Ran's bright yellow dragon robe.
After they both finished their makeup, they went into the studio to take pictures.
Director Tang then hurried over, holding the script in his hand, standing behind the photographer, and nodded, "Not bad."
The character of Jiang Ran is a handsome king. He doesn’t look very majestic on weekdays, but he has his own aura. Once he puts on clothes, the aura comes out.
Because the two of them have good relationships, but also have times of hostility, so the final photos were taken, first next to each other, and then back to back. When they were next to each other, Wen Chu looked at Jiang Ran's shoulder, and Jiang Ran lowered his eyes to look at her.
Wen Chu kept the heroine's personality in mind, and his eyes softened when he was next to Jiang Ran.
The back is sharp.
No matter how they posed, the shots would naturally show different results, some tender and some tense. By the end, Wen Chu was sweating.
Jiang Ran saw that she stepped on the hem of her skirt and quickly helped her up.
Wen Chu smiled and said, "Thank you."
Jiang Ran also smiled and said, "Is it very hot?"
Wen Chu and he left the camera and said, "It's hot, but fortunately it's autumn now. When we start shooting, it should be fine..."
Jiang Ran walked beside her and said with a smile: "Yeah."
That night, the designers worked overtime, retouching and creating the images. The next day at noon, the final makeup photos for "Evening Moon" were officially released.
Director Tang took the lead in the start.
Director Tang: "Evening Moon" is about to start filming, thank you for your attention.
"Wow."
"Help, I'm a fan of the original novel, it's kind of a match."
"Damn, they have a strong CP feeling."
"I have to say, Wen Chu is so beautiful. She's not inferior to Qi Yuan at all."
"So beautiful, so handsome."
"I'm looking forward to it."
"I'm just a passerby, but I also want to say that they do have a strong CP feeling. I wonder how it will turn out in the film."
"It's more impressive than the final photos of Qing Ping Chuan."
Wen Chu, Jiang Ran, Qi Meng, and Jiang Ran's company all released their makeup photos. Xingyao's CEO looked at the photos of this handsome man and beautiful woman, hesitated, and sent a message to his boss.
Xingyao CEO: Mr. Gu, do you need help promoting Miss Wen?
Gu Cheng replied, "No need."
After a few seconds, he added, "Just send her personal one."
Xingyao CEO: ...Okay.
A few minutes later, Xingyao Media released Wen Chu's personal makeup photo and said: Beautiful, beautiful, let us look forward to Mingyue Wan'er.

Jiang Ran’s fans were dissatisfied.
Inquiry: "What's going on? Why are they only promoting the female lead and not the male lead?"
"A dog licker, he will definitely only lick the heroine."
Jiang Ran fans: "......"
Someone else said, "Do you know how much Xingyao Media charges for an advertisement? Your brother didn't spend any money, and you expect Xingyao to promote him? Dream on."
"Did Wen Chu pay the money?"
"She doesn't have to pay. Xingyao will give her data."
Jiang Ran’s fans: “….”
