Gu Mu guessed that Gu Qingqing knew something, which was why she said those words to protect him.
"Qingqing, please don't get involved in this, okay? Second brother is capable of protecting himself."
"No! Second brother, I'm all grown up now, not a child anymore. I can protect you, I have the ability. Really, you believe me."
Gu Qingqing raised her hands and showed off her muscles in front of him. Although they were only a little bit, they were much better than the original owner's body.
The relentless training over the past two months has finally yielded some results.
Gu Mu shook his head helplessly, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, his eyes smiling as he watched her act silly.
He was genuinely happy and blessed that she had the desire to protect herself.
so
He agreed.
Let's just treat these two or three months as a time to play together and create wonderful memories.
"Great! Let's hurry and find Director Yang!" Qiao Ziyang grabbed Gu Qingqing and ran off.
Gu Mu followed with a smile.
They left Lu Qi and Xu Hua completely astonished.
The second female lead has been chosen to be Gu Qingqing?
Lu Qi and Xu Hua, filled with curiosity, quickly followed.
Upon arriving at Director Yang's room, Qiao Ziyang excitedly told him about Gu Qingqing, assuring him that she could perform well, even though she had no acting experience and was not a graduate of a film academy.
"Although you are Gu Mu's sister, I can't just let you join the film crew. What talents do you have? Let me see your abilities."
Having experienced Yao Jiajia's situation, Director Yang no longer considers an actor's status when casting; he only looks at their ability and personality.
"Okay." Gu Qingqing nodded in response, her mind rapidly switching between different scenarios: singing, performing an instrument, or dancing?
Or perhaps a martial arts performance?
She remembered that when she was reading the script yesterday, there was a scene where the second female lead met a highly skilled martial arts master by chance, studied for two or three years, and in the final showdown, the second female lead and the male lead had a wonderful fight scene.
"Qingqing, what do you want to perform?" Gu Mu was very curious, and he naturally believed in her abilities.
She was taught by several teachers from a young age. She not only knows two or three musical instruments, but also sings, dances, and speaks three foreign languages.
"Yes, Qingqing, what do you want to perform?" Qiao Ziyang knew she was very talented.
But I'm still curious about what talent she'll be performing later.
"Shh~ It's a secret." Gu Qingqing made a cute face, walked to the table next to her, picked up a black selfie stick from the table, and attracted everyone's attention.
I don't understand what she's doing with that selfie stick. Is she using it as a prop for dancing?
They were full of anticipation, but they didn't expect Gu Qingqing to suddenly turn around and thrust the selfie stick at them. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they were about to back away when she immediately stopped, but the action in her hand did not change. The selfie stick was only an inch away from them.
Whew~
It felt like I had survived a catastrophe.
The three grown men breathed a sigh of relief, but then realized they had been too cowardly.
However, they were indeed almost hit by her; fortunately, she acted with restraint and avoided hitting them.
Lu Qi and Xu Hua were startled when they saw this scene as soon as they reached the door.
But then I saw Gu Qingqing do a sword-flipping gesture, which was very beautiful.
They slowly walked in, not daring to disturb her martial arts performance.
Gu Qingqing's spectacular martial arts performance dazzled Gu Mu and the others, who watched with great focus and enjoyment, and didn't even notice Lu Qi and Xu Hua's arrival.
Gu Qingqing performed a set of martial arts moves. Her posture was correct, her movements were beautiful, and her figure was very elegant. She was absolutely perfect.
She felt that performing martial arts would definitely be more appealing than singing and dancing, because Director Yang was someone who preferred talented actors to pretty faces.
She already has a beautiful figure, and if she were to perform singing and dancing, he would definitely not like her, and would certainly not agree to her playing the second female lead.
Therefore, she chose to perform martial arts.
The martial arts performance, lasting only three minutes, captivated everyone.
"Great! That's fantastic! Miss Gu, I agree to let you play the second female lead! Welcome to our production team."
Director Yang clapped, his smile so wide his eyes disappeared.
He likes girls like her who know martial arts, are beautiful and talented; she'd definitely be a great actress.
"Thank you, Director Yang." Gu Qingqing bowed to him to express her gratitude.
After all, the role of the second female lead is very difficult to obtain, especially for a newbie like her who has never filmed a single drama and has no experience. She simply has no chance of getting the role of the second female lead.
She could probably foresee that when she acted tomorrow, many actors and staff would question whether she got the opportunity through connections based on her beauty and powerful background.
There might even be rumors that she wanted to play the second female lead, which is why she managed to force Yao Jiajia away.
"Qingqing, you're simply my goddess! You even know martial arts! Your performance was amazing! Really! You're incredible, I'm so impressed!" Qiao Ziyang kept praising her.
Gu Qingqing didn't respond, but her smile was faint.
Gu Mu walked over and took her hand, asking softly, "You did a great job, congratulations, Qingqing. But when did you learn this martial arts performance?"
She knew he would bring this up, since he knew her daily schedule perfectly well.
"I learned it from watching TV when I had some free time recently. How about that? I'm so smart! I learned it after watching it only two or three times." She didn't blush at all when she lied.
Gu Mu didn't think much of it; he trusted Gu Qingqing's words completely.
Moreover, her younger sister has been exceptionally intelligent since childhood, possessing a photographic memory. Otherwise, she wouldn't have become the top scorer in her year's college entrance examination at the age of fourteen, entered university at a young age, and graduated with perfect scores in all subjects at the age of eighteen. Not only does she hold a double degree, but she also speaks three foreign languages.
Gu Qingqing was very happy about his trust in her.
Of course, she didn't lie about everything or keep everything from him.
However, since it involves her background, she can only keep it a secret for now in order to maintain her current peace and happiness.
Lu Qi and Xu Hua were also surprised by Gu Qingqing's performance. She was so talented and versatile. Judging from Director Yang's smug face, he must be very satisfied and like her.
"Qiao Ziyang, take Miss Gu to the costume fitting room quickly. If it doesn't fit, make changes as soon as possible. Filming starts this afternoon, so have her familiarize herself with the script and lines."
Director Yang spoke up because time was really tight.
The crew must return to Beijing by tomorrow night, and they have to go to the film studio to shoot again the day after tomorrow afternoon.
Gu Mu and Gu Qingqing are truly his lucky stars. Yao Jiajia wanted to leave early this morning and even withdraw her investment.
He's really worried sick.
Fortunately, Gu Mu was wealthy and invested ten million yuan in his TV series under the name of the Gu Group, becoming the largest shareholder.
With Gu Qingqing joining the cast, this drama is sure to be a huge hit.
The thought that his directorial work would become a nationwide and even overseas sensation made him want to worship his two siblings and burn incense for them every day.
"Okay! Leave it to me." Qiao Ziyang hurriedly grabbed Gu Qingqing and ran straight to the nearby dressing room.
He had the makeup artist in charge of the second female lead give her an ancient look and put her in a theatrical costume, instantly transforming her from a modern little girl into an ancient peasant woman.
