Chapter 34
When the Reuters video was first released, there were a lot of speculations and discussions, but most of them were just jokes. There were also many people who used it to step on Yu Miao, and there were still many people who sneered at it.
People will not believe that this person is some kind of deity or reclusive practitioner just because of a short video. A more reliable idea is that it is more likely that this person is a stuntman.
However, the paparazzi followed and found out this news...
[I called the hotel right away and asked! They really said that the whole place was booked out! Oh my god! Booked out for a whole day would cost millions, right? I just want to say that the young lady is really rich...]
[Oh my god, I really believe it this time... After all, no one would spend so much money on a stuntman, right?]
[I really can’t imagine who this mysterious teacher is that can make the young lady respect him so much…]
The Li family is very low-key in the outside world. If it weren't for the incident with Yu Miao, netizens would not have known about this Li family's eldest daughter. In the eyes of netizens, the Li family is already a very mysterious top wealthy family. They know that the Li family is very powerful, but it is difficult to get more detailed information.
But now, this person is a higher level existence than the Li family. Netizens lack the materials to imagine. There are many different opinions and all kinds of outrageous speculations.
[I can’t even imagine how awesome this guy is…]
[The eldest lady actually condescended to invite such a big man to come out just to slap Yu Miao in the face. Miss, you are really, I am crying. ]
[I was just kidding about this being a cultivator. I never thought this would be true. I am crying with laughter.]
[Yu Miao, what I'm saying is, why are you messing with the young lady? ]
[However, I still have to thank Mr. Yu~ If you hadn't been asking for trouble, how could you have stimulated the young lady to use her top connections to invite such a person for us to see? ]
[Isn’t it written in the novel? When this kind of reclusive boss comes out, a group of wealthy people go to visit him but are turned away.]
[Yes, a big family like the Li family should maintain a good relationship with the Xuanmen to ensure the prosperity of the family from generation to generation. I heard that many big families have to consult the immortal master for every major decision. ]
Then this comment was deleted by the system because it involved feudal superstition.
As netizens' guesses became more and more outrageous, more and more comments were deleted...
[Woc… Is there some mysterious force preventing us from discussing this matter… A lot of comments have been deleted…]
[Is it really okay for a blogger to secretly take a photo of this teacher and post it to gain traffic? Even though it was just a distant back view...]
[Take a picture! Take a picture for me! Please take a picture of my face! Is there really someone who looks so godlike and whose identity is so mysterious and powerful? ]
But the paparazzi looked at these comments and suddenly became scared: [Why are you filming? Stop talking, I’m scared. I always feel that if I post these things, something will go wrong…]
This time, Li Jingwei learned from the previous experience when Zhong Sheng made Gu Chen a hot topic. In order to ensure that her grandfather would not find out that this was her sister-in-law, she asked her assistant to keep an eye on the development of the matter so as to deal with public opinion in a timely manner.
The assistant discovered the paparazzi's leak, which only showed the backs of the two people, half an hour later. He felt annoyed and thought it was too late. He immediately contacted the two paparazzi and asked them to delete the photos and related comments. His attitude was very tough.
They even called in legal counsel to find out the legal issues involved in his past revelations and use them as threats.
The paparazzi was really shocked when he was contacted. Every time he broke the news, someone would contact him to delete it, but this was the first time he encountered someone so tough who threatened to send him to jail.
He was already nervous, and he didn't expect that his words would come true. Now that he was scared by the other party, he suddenly felt that he couldn't keep this account. He immediately deleted all the Weibo posts and abandoned the account and left. Anyway, he had many accounts.
Netizens were still watching the show and guessing, but only half an hour later, the paparazzi who broke the news not only deleted all the information, but even his account number disappeared.
【？ ？ ？ Far from the truth...】
[After he said that he felt something was going to go wrong, something went wrong immediately... It was so scary.]
[Oh my god... there really is no mysterious power...]
Although the photo was only circulated for half an hour, it has left a deep impression on those who have seen it, including those who have watched the show "Love Tutorial Class".
[Eh? Why do I feel that this silhouette looks so much like Mr. Gu? ]
[It’s time to show off my treasured 4 minute 52 second masterpiece! Hurry up! Look! They are just as mysterious! ]
[Emm…I watched your video, but how can you assume that it is your Mr. Gu based on a back view and a profile view from such a distance? Your Mr. Gu has never even shown his face, right? ]
[Don’t just say you are Mr. Gu when you see a mysterious boss. A business tycoon who is proficient in music, games, and tea ceremony, can he fly? There is nothing so outrageous in the world...]
[Your Mr. Gu does have the temperament of a business tycoon, but he is still a human being; our teacher has the appearance of a celestial being, and now we don’t even know if he is a mortal. ]
[Although your Mr. Gu is mysterious, he can still be discussed on the hot search; our teacher, now even posting a thread for discussion will directly 404. ]
[Your Mr. Gu is already married, and our teacher looks like a person who does not care about worldly matters and has a pure heart.]
[Our mysterious teacher is much more mysterious than your mysterious Mr. Gu! ! ! ]
Mr. Gu’s fans were happy about their “earth-shaking discovery”, but they were rejected like this. But looking at the comments, it seems... it makes sense?
Business tycoons wouldn't go and act in dramas, right?
However, seeing Mr. Gu being belittled, they were not too happy and immediately responded: [Obviously, it is our Mr. Gu who has never shown his face, which is much more mysterious than your mysterious teacher who has only half of his face shown!!!]
…
Even though the matter had been suppressed, Li Jingwei still reported to Li Tingqin: "Brother, I forgot to tell you! Not only did my sister-in-law invest in my movie last time, I also asked her to play a cameo role. Brother, please don't mind."
However, her brother has always been a well-educated and respectful person. Even if he himself does not like this matter, he should not interfere with the decision made by his sister-in-law.
Li Tingqin's tone was indeed supportive, and he said, "Really? That's great." He had recommended some positions to Ah Chen before, not necessarily for Ah Chen to go out to work, but just wanted Ah Chen to find something interesting. Now that Ah Chen is willing to make a cameo appearance in a movie, it's not bad. "What role is it? Can I know?"
Li Jingwei said: "The leaks have been released, there is nothing we can't know. This is a fairy tale movie, and my sister-in-law plays an immortal named Xie Jingyuan, which fits my sister-in-law's temperament very well."
"Xie Jingyuan..." Li Tingqin wrote down the name.
Li Jingwei continued, "Also, I'd like to trouble you to help control public opinion. The Reuters only showed my sister-in-law's profile, and I didn't reveal her personal information. Grandpa doesn't pay attention to these things, so he probably doesn't know yet. Let's finish filming first! Wait until the dust settles! So that Grandpa won't interfere!"
"So this is what you're after?" Li Tingqin chuckled, "Okay, I get it."
After ending the call with Li Jingwei, Li Tingqin felt that he could indeed return to China tomorrow. He had already planned to return to China last time and was adjusting his schedule, and it just so happened that he didn't have any work arrangements in the next two days.
He raised his hand to let Secretary Xu come over and said, "Please arrange to return home in advance. I will go back tomorrow."
…
Thanks to Li Jingwei's comprehensive arrangements, Gu Chen rested very well in the hotel. No one came to disturb him at all. The service was also top-notch and thoughtful. He felt comfortable both physically and mentally. Coming here as a guest for two days did not affect him at all.
After getting up, he practiced sword techniques in the open-air garden of the suite as usual to exercise his body. Now that he has changed his fitness method to this, he needs to stick to it every day.
At around eight o'clock, the driver arranged by Li Jingwei took him to the shooting site.
On the set, Li Jingwei had already explained everything: "Everyone, when you see Teacher Gu later, please don't talk about him, don't take pictures, and don't spread the news about the set. If you see any suspicious paparazzi nearby, just tell Assistant Ke directly, okay?" Yesterday, someone had already taken a photo of them from a distance by paparazzi, so they had to take precautions today.
"If any more private photos of Teacher Gu are leaked, I will hold them accountable."
Everyone agreed: "Okay Director Li!"
Now, with the precedents of Yu Miao's failure and the staff who spread rumors being sent to the police station, no one dares to do such things recklessly. What's more, Director Li is very good to us, so there is nothing we can refuse to say.
However, everyone was watching the Internet yesterday and was very curious about the identity of this Teacher Gu. If Director Li still had this attitude, then we can only say that a large part of the speculation on the Internet was true. Moreover, they had all seen Teacher Gu dancing with a sword like a god on the top of a mountain. Even if he was not an immortal cultivator, there must be something extraordinary about this Teacher Gu that was beyond ordinary people.
When Gu Chen arrived at the set, he found that everyone looked at him with respect, even a bit of awe. The chattering and noise that happened during the last shoot was much less, and no one approached him to talk. This made him feel a little relieved. It seemed that Jing Wei had done a good job of regulating the atmosphere on the set. At least now the noise wouldn't give him a headache. Although he was only invited to make a cameo appearance, Jing Wei had arranged everything very well.
He had read the script in advance, and today they were shooting interior scenes in a palace in the film and television city.
This palace is built in a very grand and majestic manner. It is one of the largest landscapes in the film and television city. With the secondary scenery of the crew, it has a more fairy-like and sacred feeling. This is the Wuchen Palace of Xie Jingyuan, the respected immortal in the script.
After completing her makeup in a quiet atmosphere, Gu Chen slowly walked into the Wuchen Palace in a white robe.
Last time, Yu Miao was wearing a white robe with golden patterns and kept doing retakes here. Li Jingwei felt a little uncomfortable with the costumes that had been ravaged by Yu Miao. Anyway, she designed many sets for Xie Jingyuan at that time, and now she chose a white one with silver patterns. It was different from the fairy-like costumes worn in the fighting scenes. Compared with the elegant last time, this one was more elegant, showing Gu Chen's upright posture and perfect demeanor.
As he slowly walked through the grand hall, with his majestic and magnificent skirt trailing behind him, everyone's breathing slowed down. There was such a strong sense of oppression! It was as if the immortal himself had come! Everyone saw him walk up the steps and sit on the holy throne at the top, thinking that he might as well perform a direct enthronement here.
Gu Chen sat on the throne, leaning slightly, his elbows resting on the armrests, his chin supported by his slender fingers, looking relaxed and bored, and said, "Come on, aren't we going to discuss business?"
Although he was talking about this plot, in which the 100 immortal sects were going to discuss matters here, and he, as the co-respected immortal sect, sat in the back as a background board. But now this scene always makes people imagine which Majesty with strong control is leaning elegantly and lazily on the throne, and casually asking his subjects to start the discussion.
As the positions on the set were arranged, actors from various sects came in one after another, each taking their own position, and began to perform this scene.
Gu Chen felt good sitting in the back. After all, he didn't have any lines and was still a perfect background. And compared to the group of people standing nervously, he was the only one who could sit lazily and leisurely. He glanced at them from time to time, and tapped his fingertips on his chin, as if he didn't care at all about what they were saying.
However, the actors of Xianmen could not ignore the powerful presence behind them. As they talked, they could not help but glance at the one sitting on the holy throne out of the corner of their eyes, and even looked back at him frequently.
They were speaking the lines, but when they turned around and met Gu Chen's indifferent yet powerful gaze, they couldn't help but shudder and withdrew their gazes as if feeling guilty, as if all their thoughts were exposed in Gu Chen's all-seeing eyes.
"Cut!" After this segment was finished, Li Jingwei was unexpectedly satisfied, "Very good! This segment is very good! I haven't seen a group performance where everyone is so in good shape in a long time!"
"Ah?" But there was still an actor who hadn't recovered his state yet, still a little confused, embarrassed and ashamed, "Sorry, director, I was just paying attention to Teacher Gu... I guess I held everyone back, right?"
Li Jingwei was a little surprised and said, "No, everyone showed their fear of the Immortal Lord and their different thoughts!"
The actor subconsciously said, "No, Director Li, I haven't gotten into the mood yet. I was just led by Teacher Gu's eyes... that's all?" At this point, he was a little surprised. A good actor can lead the actor playing opposite him into the role. Could it be that Teacher Gu also...
As he said this, he couldn't help but look back at Gu Chen who was still leaning leisurely on the throne.
Seeing him looking at him strangely, although Gu Chen didn't know what questions he had, he still nodded to him politely with a smile.
The actor: “!!!” It must be like this!!!
Hearing him mention Gu Chen, Li Jingwei nodded in agreement: "Oh, indeed! Teacher Gu is in the best condition!"
Everyone is excellent, and the sister-in-law is even better. Sitting there without any lines is the most challenging part for acting skills. Xie Jingyuan is the most powerful among all the immortals. It is really difficult to show this power without lines. Xie Jingyuan never tries hard to show his power, and even has a restrained state. Yu Miao overacted, which makes him look greasy and lacking in fairy spirit, and his character is broken.
But as soon as my sister-in-law sat there, everyone submitted to her. Whenever they opened their mouths to discuss matters of the Immortal Sect, they had to be wary of the existence of this respected figure in the Immortal Sect.
Next, Gu Chen’s scene also takes place in this hall, but in the side hall. Compared to the grandeur of the main hall, the layout here is very elegant.
Gu Chen sat down in the hall. This was his rivalry with the male lead, and they had to rehearse it more than a dozen times. It was for the same scene arrangement, so the scenes from different stages were performed together. Although they were short, the emotions were different each time.
The look in the male protagonist's eyes when he looked at him was always full of admiration. When he "scolded" the male protagonist in his lines, the male protagonist's eyes were sincerely full of shame. When he "praised" the male protagonist, the male protagonist was so happy... This young man was really into the role.
Li Jingwei shot several scenes in a row without any NGs, and couldn't help but ask the male lead: "Xiao Qi, how come your eyes are so accurate when you look at your master now?" Although this newcomer was obedient, he still had to train himself many times before his eyes were barely accurate when facing Yu Miao.
But the male lead said to her directly with real feelings: "Director Li, I have had a martial arts dream since I was a child, so I came to audition for this role. Can Teacher Gu really become my teacher and teach me swordsmanship? I really want to learn..." A powerful person like Teacher Gu is definitely worthy of respect from the bottom of my heart...
Li Jingwei: “…” I asked you to film, why are you dreaming?
"Ahem, Xiao Qi, you should just start filming first." It's better to finish filming before letting people's dreams be shattered. Otherwise, the child will be so immersed in the role that the filming might not be able to continue.
As for my sister-in-law, although she has never filmed a drama, every scene she performs is perfect. At the beginning, she was calm and powerful in the hall, and now she is tolerant and helpless towards the disciples... every scene is perfect. Is this the effect of inviting the Immortal Lord himself to come down to the world?
Gu Chen was indeed helpless. For so many scenes, he just sat there, or changed his sitting posture, watching the male protagonist go in and out, out and in, change his clothes and go in and out again, out and in... How could he not be helpless?
But he came to make a cameo appearance and just sat on the set to shoot a few scenes. The treatment was already very good. Well, he should just rehearse his lines with the male lead and be more tolerant.
Today's filming content was indeed easy for Gu Chen. After it was finished, only the last scene tomorrow was left.
This scene focuses on the unknown side of Xie Jingyuan, who is so powerful that no one can match him. He has also experienced loneliness and pain in the long years. His enemies, his best friends, and his peers... have all fallen. Only he has lived forever and has become the most respected person in the immortal sect. However, he is lonely and cannot understand the worldly feelings, so he still cannot ascend.
The last scene to be filmed is the one where Xie Jingyuan is practicing alone in the bedroom, but is unable to make any progress and vomits blood, and then misses his deceased old friend.
Gu Chen put down the script and felt that he had an idea of what was going on. It seemed that this guest appearance would be over soon.
After Li Tingqin arranged his work after leaving and sat on the plane back to China, he had time to find out relevant information about the immortal named Xie Jingyuan played by Achen.
He searched for the three words "Xie Jingyuan" and found that this character is aloof, cold and pure, powerful and mysterious... He is an existence that the entire cultivation world respects and reveres. This is a very positive and mysterious character, so there are many fans who like Xie Jingyuan. Li Tingqin feels that it is still very good for Ah Chen to play this guest role, and some aspects do fit Ah Chen's temperament.
But as he flipped through the pages, he felt that a lot of the content was not right, and his brows gradually furrowed...
Things like "I really want to lock the Master in a small dark room and ravage him hehehe", "The cold, high and mighty Master must be so beautiful when he loses his mind", "Just lock the Master in the Dustless Palace so that he can't get out of bed", "Ahhh, Zhanshuangyuan is the most invincible. Just think about the Master's cold thin lips stained with blood. Hehe, I want to kiss him"... There seemed to be some fan fiction with a lot of Hs. He clicked on it and took a look. The screen was full of human organs...
"Ahem." Li Tingqin closed the browser and frowned even more. Why are the young people nowadays so filthy? How come they have such offensive and disrespectful thoughts towards such an admirable character like the Immortal Venerable in the book?
