Sure enough, Ling Yan's expression changed after hearing what she said.
However, she still managed a forced smile. "So, was the scene where the protagonist gets a heart transplant written by the screenwriter, or did you, as the director, add it?"
"I added it." Gu Weiwei smiled even more as she saw the fleeting tension and panic in Ling Yan's eyes.
"Why did you add it?" Ling Yan pressed.
Why add that kind of plot of all?
Gu Weiwei smiled and said, "It's necessary for the plot. Does the actress Ling Yinghou mean that just because she made a film called 'The Dream of Immortality' with a heart transplant, she won't allow others to use the heart transplant trope?"
Others might not see the connection between "The Dream of Immortality" and "Half-Awake," but she knew it, and Ling Yan herself knew it too.
"The Dream of Immortality" is like a mask of her gentle and kind nature in public, while "Half-Dreaming, Half-Awake" reveals her dark and true self.
She is known to the public as a legendary actress who suffers from a terminal illness, has received a heart transplant, and is known for her kindness and optimism.
But in reality, she was the murderer who killed someone in order to survive and receive a heart transplant.
She knew that this movie had touched a nerve with Ling Yan, which was why she was so eager to come to her, hoping to find out something from her.
She was afraid that the murder secret, which only she and her mother Ji Fang knew, would be known by a third person, and she was even more afraid that it would be found out by Gu Siting and the Dorrance family.
"Of course... of course not, I'm just curious why Miss Mu would add such a plot?" Ling Yan's smile was almost impossible to maintain.
Gu Weiwei looked at Ling Yan's slightly pale face with amusement and said with a smile.
"The Dorrance family has been investigating the death of Gu Weiwei from the Gu family, so I had this idea. Could it be that you, Ling Yinghou, killed her to save your own life and then survived by transplanting her heart..."
“You…” Ling Yan gritted her teeth in anger.
"Don't be angry, Ms. Ling. Artistic creation comes from life. This is just a plot idea for the movie. It doesn't mean you are the murderer, Ms. Ling," Gu Weiwei quickly explained.
Ling Yan glared resentfully at the girl sitting opposite her, who was chatting and laughing amiably, yet remained enigmatic to everyone.
It was hard to tell which of her words were true and which were false; the mix of truth and falsehood only made her more apprehensive.
The Dorrance family hasn't given up their investigation yet, and if they hear about this, they'll probably start investigating her again.
Gu Weiwei noticed Ling Yan's fear and a barely perceptible cold smile appeared on her lips.
If she starts to feel afraid now, how will she be able to withstand the blows that follow?
"Actress Ling, is there anything else you'd like to ask?"
"Miss Mu, your so-called movie plot idea sounds to me... like it's targeting me?" Ling Yan asked coldly.
As she spoke, it sounded like she knew something, but it didn't seem like she really knew.
"Targeting you? How could that be? It's just a movie plot. The fact that Actress Ling rushed over to question me like this makes people think that my plot has come true, which is why you're so anxious." Gu Weiwei smiled knowingly.
Ling Yan was seething inside, but she had no choice but to keep smiling in front of the other person.
"That's not what I meant."
"Otherwise, if you say I'm targeting you, you haven't killed anyone to get a heart transplant, so what could I possibly be targeting you for?" Gu Weiwei chuckled.
Ling Yan was furious at the sight of the smiling person opposite her, but she couldn't show it in front of her.
If she keeps dwelling on this matter, it will undoubtedly expose her guilty conscience and make people think that things are as she described in her movie.
"Miss Mu, please don't mind me. I was just curious. Goodbye."
After saying that, he picked up his bag and left.
