Chapter 232 The Movie King (Part 3)
Director Zhuang didn't have high expectations for the actor's image. After all, the actor had just turned forty a few days ago, and he didn't expect him to be able to pull off a glamorous look. As long as the actor looked decent, he wouldn't say much.
It'll just be a bit tough on the post-production team.
But damn it, who is this young emperor in front of me? He looks like he stepped right out of the original story.
Director Zhuang stared at the young emperor who was slowly walking out, and for the first time felt as if he had struck gold.
However, Director Zhuang frowned. He felt that although the appearance matched the image perfectly, there was still a sense of incongruity. He couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was, but something just felt off.
Many people around were stunned. It has to be said that although Gu Yanjing is often criticized as just a pretty face, his looks are undeniably striking.
With looks like that, you could watch them all day without even looking at their acting skills.
After all, Gu Yanjing is the kind of person who doesn't photograph well; even with professional retouching, she's still not as good-looking as others.
"Is there a problem?" Gu Yan frowned and beckoned to Gu Congxin: "Go get me an electric fan."
It's unbearably hot in this photography studio.
The Chinese man was dressed very lightly, even his eyebrows and eyes looked very youthful, but his every move exuded a sense of power and was quite terrifying.
Mother, I want to kneel down and kowtow twice, and call out "Your Majesty".
Gu Congxin immediately rushed over with an electric fan: "Boss, please make do with this electric fan for now. I'll personally pick out a handheld air conditioner for you at noon."
His Majesty has always been most afraid of the heat. In the sweltering summer, he has to wear such thick clothes to film a movie. I guess his temper is like a firecracker that can be ignited at any moment. He must be served well.
"Have someone order it online directly." Gu Yanjing elegantly lifted the sleeve covering his hands, his eyebrows and eyes hidden behind the beaded curtain, making him appear very unfathomable.
One sentence was enough to send shivers down your spine.
"Yes, yes, I'll order it right away." Gu Congxin held the electric fan in one hand and called his assistant with the other, telling him to go to the nearest appliance store to buy it immediately.
Director Zhuang finally understood why he felt something was off about Gu Yanjing.
Gu Yanjing's current state is not the spirited demeanor of a young emperor at all; rather, it leans more towards the imperial majesty of his later years, making him seem too unapproachable.
A truly lonely person.
It doesn't match the persona he envisioned.
The screenwriter also noticed the problem and went to the director's side.
She is the original author and also the head screenwriter.
At first, she was not satisfied with Gu Yanjing being the male lead, but she had no choice. Her family needed to buy a house, and the pressure was immense, so she had to bow down to the power of money.
As it turns out, she seems to have actually gotten a lucky break. Although the character isn't quite right for her right now, it doesn't really matter.
However, the script may need to be revised.
"Director, I'd like to revise the script a bit. What do you think?" Zhang Xiaoai quickly jotted down her thoughts in her notebook and said to Director Zhuang.
"You're willing to revise the script?" Director Zhuang was taken aback.
He knew that Zhang Xiaoai didn't really like Gu Yanjing, but today she actually took the initiative to change the script for Gu Yanjing's sake.
"I didn't want to change it originally, but I couldn't help it, this wild man is too beautiful." As she spoke, Zhang Xiaoai wiped her drool.
"Control yourself, you know that makes me feel like I'm being cuckolded, honey." Director Zhuang couldn't help but twitch his lips as he looked at the sleeve that had been used to wipe his drool.
"But don't you think he's very handsome?" Zhang Xiaoai held her husband's hand, her gaze still fixed on Gu Yanjing.
"Can you please tone down your obsession with good looks?" Director Zhuang looked at his wife with a terrible headache.
The couple discussed it for a moment and decided that Gu Yanjing would go to the side first to film the first scene with the female lead and the second male lead.
Originally, the first scene was supposed to be between the female lead and the male lead, but the male lead's role needed to be changed, so all his scenes had to be moved to the later part of the film.
If the investors had money, the production team wouldn't dare to go to such lengths.
Nan Wan'er appeared after Gu Yanjing, and her makeup and styling were the same as when she first met the male lead.
The innocent and well-protected girl, at her father's birthday banquet at home, made a promise with her childhood sweetheart brother to go to a bamboo gathering. There, she encountered the young emperor resting in the bamboo forest.
The young woman did not recognize the emperor, but she knew who the person in front of her was, so she bowed and left.
She was eager to see her sweetheart.
Little did he know, he had been targeted by the young emperor.
When Nan Wan'er came out, she was still slurping noodles; it was so early in the morning, she hadn't even eaten breakfast.
The makeup artist followed behind, waiting to touch up Nan Wan'er's makeup.
"Good morning, Your Majesty." However, upon seeing Gu Yanjing, Nan Wan'er's legs immediately went weak, and she almost knelt down.
Her assistant helped her up and looked at Nan Wan'er with surprise.
No, filming hasn't even started yet, how come it's already being acted?
Didn't this woman say yesterday that she hated people like Gu Yanjing who were just pretty faces?
Sure enough, a woman's words are deceitful.
"Good morning, Mr. Gu," his assistant, Xiao An, greeted him.
Gu Yanjing nodded indifferently. After hearing from the production assistant that the script needed to be revised and that he didn't have any scenes to film today, he immediately went back to his private dressing room to remove his makeup.
It's so hot.
Then Gu Yanjing also stopped and left with Gu Congxin without looking back, which was even captured by the entertainment reporters who were squatting outside.
Ten minutes later, news suddenly appeared on the trending searches that Gu Yan had acted like a diva and had fallen out with Director Zhuang.
He ranked third on the trending searches, with the top two also being trending topics about him acting like a diva.
It has to be said that Gu Yanjing, who is known for trending on social media, didn't sleep either.
Gu Congxin, holding her phone, contacted the company's sensory department to remove Gu Yan from the trending topics list, while the main character had already gone to play games on her phone.
Gu Yanjing used a smurf account, which he had only started playing yesterday. He had won all the way to the Platinum rank and was continuing to play today.
However, as soon as he started a game, there were two people in the room. One locked in Xiao Ming, and the other locked in Hou Yi.
What the heck is this?
If you encounter a system that locks in instantly, it's either a miracle worker or a scammer.
Gu Yan thought for a moment and decided to take the ** to boost his combat power. There was no other way; a winning streak would give him a lot more points.
After entering, Gu Yanjing started with the blue buff as usual. However, just after taking the blue buff, he saw that his teammates Xiaoming and Houyi had cleared the lane and then went to take his red buff.
Gu Yanjing stood still and slowly typed a "?".
Hou Yi didn't explain, and led Xiao Ming to kill the enemy Sun Shangxiang in the bottom lane and invade the enemy's jungle.
The enemy jungler was Liu Bei, who started with the red buff. The two of them went there and ran into Liu Bei.
Gu Yanjing finished clearing the remaining jungle camps and saw that the two had gone to the enemy jungle. So he cleared the minions in their bottom lane and also solo-killed the enemy Sun Shangxiang.
Sun Shangxiang has missed out on farming for two consecutive rounds and is complaining to her partner Liu Bei that they are bullying her.
However, after Hou Yi saw his minion wave being eaten, he said to Gu Yanjing, "Turn on the microphone."
Gu Yanjing ignored him.
Hou Yi stood still and typed: "Jungler, don't eat my minions."
Gu Yan replied in surprise, "Then don't use my fame as a pretext."
Hou Yi: "Red is originally for archers."
Gu Yanjing looked at this stupid comment and was too lazy to pay attention to it anymore. He directly used two uses of his first skill to punish Hou Yi, who had brought the red buff to low health, and then used his first skill to return.
They didn't give Hou Yi any face at all.
Hou Yi angrily cleared the remaining jungle area.
Gu Yanjing wasn't in a hurry. He turned around and devoured Hou Yi's lane solo, leaving none for him, and also killed the opposing Sun Shangxiang.
Sun Shangxiang's mentality collapsed.
Gu Yanjing went to the enemy's jungle and killed the enemy jungler Liu Bei.
The economy was overwhelmingly superior, and the whole game went very smoothly.
However, he still remembered that he would always go and devour Hou Yi's minion wave, leaving Hou Yi with not a single minion.
As for red, that's even more impossible.
Take his things?
It's likely they've been targeted before.
Ultimately, the game ended with a pentakill that carried the team to victory.
Gu Yan looked up in surprise and said to Gu Congxin, "Gu Congxin, match this Hou Yi with me on the opposing team."
Gu Congxin's eyes lit up: "Okay!"
Your Majesty is going to punish the scumbags.
Gu Yanjing entered the game again and still got the **. The fourth floor also wanted the jungler position, so Gu Yanjing locked it in and then posted his stats.
Thirty games, 100% success rate.
The fourth floor player quietly switched to playing support with Da Qiao.
Entering the game, Gu Yan looked at the familiar ID on the other side with satisfaction.
Hou Yi, who was on the opposite side, also saw Gu Yanjing. He was also very angry because he had been overshadowed in the last match.
He said to the viewers in the live stream, "This is the guy from last game. He completely ruined my game last time. I'm going to fight back in this game."
He still brought Xiaoming with him.
After securing the minion wave at the start, go and farm your own red buff, then invade the enemy jungle.
However, Gu Yanjing had already cleared the blue zone with Da Qiao, and Hou Yi couldn't even reach the red zone, so their invasion was in vain.
After reaching level four, I first killed the top laner, then used Da Qiao's second skill to return home with full health, and then killed the enemy jungler, successfully taking the dragon.
Hou Yi then finished eating the thread and went to fight the river crab.
However, Hou Yi had barely shown himself when he was immobilized by Daji's second skill. Then Da Qiao used her first skill to knock him up, her third skill to silence him, and her second skill was left aside.
Hou Yi had barely recovered when Xiao Ming unleashed a powerful attack, with Hou Yi's Thousand Army Cavalry unleashing a Cloud Piercing Arrow that landed directly on his head.
**He directly used his ultimate to kill two of them, and then recalled to town next to them to taunt them.
This Hou Yi player is a streamer who was playing with Xiao Ming to try and reach the top rank of Hou Yi in the national server, and also to try and break his winning streak record. He has a good audience in his stream, but he's gotten a bit cocky lately. In low-rank games, he keeps taking the red buff from his own jungler, and most of the time he's the one showing off.
Because the other players had no resources and couldn't beat the enemy, they could only protect Hou Yi and let him deal damage.
However, he clearly messed up today.
In the first game, he thought ** was also a noob in a low-level game, but it turned out that the other person was even more skilled than him.
In the second game, he thought he could outplay this guy, but in ten minutes he was pushed to the high ground and he was so poor that he couldn't even afford a famous sword.
Finally, at the 12-minute mark, their winning streak was unilaterally ended by the opposing team.
His face darkened as he glanced at the opposing team's stats.
Damn, this is a fully-equipped account, but it must be a newly purchased account. It had no stats before, and only started playing ranked matches last night, solo queuing and winning all the way to Platinum.
This is even more impressive than him.
Is it another streamer on a winning streak?
He got angrier and angrier, so he sent a friend request to ** and added the message: "Dare to have a 1v1 solo match?"
He used to play jungler, but, well, this season, jungler has been changed and is much stronger, so he often loses. And since this season is the season for marksmen, he switched to playing marksmen.
Gu Yan raised an eyebrow in surprise, agreed immediately, and then went inside to retrieve Baili Shouyue.
The one on the other side is holding a **.
He guessed it.
The audience in the live stream were sending virtual gifts while watching the show.
However, unsurprisingly, this was another one-sided stomp on noobs.
Three Infinity Blades, two Broken Blades—one shot is enough to send you back to base. And even then, you have to walk a few steps before you get sniped to death.
Emmm, okay, I'll still get sniped if I leave.
He was about to cry his eyes out.
Is the opponent using a wallhack? They can blind-fire with perfect vision, and every shot misses.
Damn.
While Baili Shouyue on the opposing team was pushing the tower, he was soaking in the fountain of blood, feeling unwell, and sent a message to Gu Yanjing.
"Big brother, what kind of cheat did you use? Tell me about it!"
Then, he revived, only to be sniped to death on the spot.
Gu Yanjing: "A dish is a dish. Don't assume someone is cheating just because they're good at it."
Gu Yan was surprised: "A complete idiot."
The streamer is about to cry.
Damn, I've been insulted.
Still in the field I'm best at.
However, when he looked at the comments, he saw that not only was one person cursing the user with the ID "Vermilion Bird," but everyone was encouraging him to duo queue with the user and get carried to victory.
El straightened his expression and said very seriously, "I am determined to win every game to reach the King rank and get the national server Hou Yi title. How can I just get carried to victory?"
Fan: "Wake up, your winning streak has been broken. Just let yourself win, since you're bad at the game."
El: ...You're a fake fan, aren't you?
In the end, after being sniped to death for the fifth time since birth, El finally bowed down to the big boss.
El: "Hey bro, wanna duo queue next game? My Hou Yi is way better than you."
Humble.
Suzaku: "No, you're too weak."
After saying that, he pushed the crystal, then deleted El from his friends list and set it to reject friend requests.
Extremely cold and ruthless.
El: ...Damn it.
The fans in the live stream were laughing hysterically.
This was great material, and Al worked overtime that night to edit the video into a short clip and upload it.
Since so many people have already seen it, there's no point in hiding it.
Aren't so many streamers who just post jokes and stay home all day quite popular?
However, El didn't expect that this video would make him go viral.
The main issue is Baili Shouyue's three-infinity-edge strategy, which is simply disgusting. Many people who saw it said, "Can Shouyue really be played like this?"
If someone were to keep their promise more strictly, they could be so annoying that the other person wouldn't be able to leave the house.
Suddenly, the game was full of players using the Endless Flow strategy to play Shouyue, and it even appeared in the KPL arena.
That's really interesting.
Gu Yanjing was completely unaware of this. These past few days, his scenes had been emphasized, but he stayed home playing video games all day, and the crew never came to see him.
