Chapter 25: The last trending search on Weibo - Explosion! Du Li for Qiao...
When Xia Cangshu received the call from the two people, he had been up all night and was still awake. He sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the rain hitting the banana leaves. Fruit tea was brewing in the small red clay stove in front of him. The fresh fruity aroma lingered in his nose, making his mind clear.
Xia Cangshu's answer was ambiguous. "Play whatever role you think suits you best."
Qiao Zhizheng was puzzled and remained silent.
"Qiao Zheng, you're asking me, have you already decided to perform?"
Qiao Zheng answered her without hesitation, "Yes, I want to try new possibilities."
"What about the role? Which role do you want to play?"
"You already have the answer in your mind, don't you?"
Xia Cangshu on the other end of the phone chuckled, "That suits you very well."
Qiao Zhizheng tilted her head, a look of confusion and bewilderment. "What are you two talking about?"
Qiao Zheng said to Xia Cangshu on the other end of the phone, "Sorry, I'll call you back later."
Xia Cangshu received a satisfactory answer. A smile mingled with weariness on his face. After a night of excitement, his spirits slid down from the peak to the mountainside. He yawned and said, "I think I'll sleep until three in the afternoon. Message me when you've agreed. I'll talk to you guys when I wake up."
"good."
Qiao Zheng looked at Qiao Zhizheng and asked seriously, "Which role do you think is suitable for you?"
Qiao Zhizheng said, "Maybe... it's that explorer?"
Qiao Zheng noticed her hesitation and asked from a different angle, "Which character do you think you understand better?"
Qiao Zhizheng lowered her eyes and flipped through the electronic script. "Ballet dancer."
Judging from his appearance and personality, Qiao Zhizheng is indeed more suitable to be an explorer who appears cheerful, optimistic and courageous.
But Qiao Zhizheng knew that it was not the case. Her heart was not as bright and beautiful as it appeared on the surface. It was a barren wasteland with no grass growing.
The ballet dancer wants to love this world, but the wind and rain from the outside world keep coming at her. Outside the greenhouse that protects her, she is terrified and can only pretend to be calm and fearless in facing the scorching sun and cold waves.
Qiao Zhizheng felt Qiao Zheng's gaze on her. Qiao Zheng's gaze was so straightforward, looking straight at Qiao Zhizheng, looking into Qiao Zhizheng's heart, seeing through her disguise, and seeing the pale and shrunken soul inside.
The smile on Qiao Zhizheng's face fell, revealing her true emotions. Qiao Zhizheng said firmly, "I want to play a ballet dancer!"
"Um."
Qiao Zhizheng blinked continuously, staring at her intently, not letting herself miss the changes in her facial expression. "Why don't you ask me why?"
Qiao Zheng's expression remained calm throughout, as if this was a completely ordinary matter. "Just choose whichever role you want to play. If you think you can do it, then you definitely can do it. Why bother asking so many questions?"
Qiao Zhizheng's face was blank, not knowing how to react.
——She really understands me! She trusts me so much~
Beneath the calm face, the heartstrings are buzzing.
Qiao Zheng urged Qiao Zhizheng, who was lying in a daze on the bed, "Go wash up quickly, or breakfast will become lunch."
"good."
Qiao Zhizheng walked into the bathroom and was shocked to see her expressionless face in the mirror the moment she looked up. This expression and this angle looked very much like Qiao Zheng. For a moment, it seemed as if Qiao Zheng appeared in the mirror in front of her.
Qiao Zhizheng glanced at the bathroom door for some unknown reason. The door was closed. Qiao Zhizheng stretched out his hand and locked the door.
Looking at myself in the mirror, I really look like Qiao Zheng.
Qiao Zhizheng tried to smile, but the similar feeling disappeared without a trace.
The Qiao Zheng in the mirror disappeared, and Qiao Zhizheng appeared.
Qiao Zhizheng's mouth corners immediately dropped. Yes, after making such an expression, he felt similar to Qiao Zheng.
Qiao Zhizheng slowly raised her hand and touched her face. Qiao Zheng in the mirror also touched her face. At this moment, Qiao Zhizheng's hand was no longer Qiao Zhizheng's hand, but Qiao... Zheng's hand. Qiao Zhizheng slowly closed her eyes, carefully feeling her fingertips moving from her eyebrows to her nose bridge, then to her philtrum, upper lip, and the gap between her lips. Her fingertips stayed at the gap between her lips, caressing and refusing to leave.
Qiao Zhizheng slightly opened his lips, slowly extended the tip of his tongue, and licked it. Feeling the wetness and itchiness from his fingertips, Qiao Zhizheng came back to his senses from his immersed state.
Looking at the person in the mirror, with flushed cheeks and ghostly eyes, Qiao Zhizheng slapped herself.
"Qiao Zhizheng, are you crazy?!"
Qiao Zhizheng in the mirror licked her lips.
Qiao Zhizheng slapped the other side of his face again.
Covering his face, he said sullenly, "He's really crazy."
Qiao Zheng noticed that Qiao Zhizheng was a little strange. When Qiao Zhizheng came out of the bathroom, her face was red for a long time. Qiao Zheng asked her, "Do you have a cold?"
Qiao Zhizheng shook his head.
"Come here and read the script."
There is a desk in Qiao Zheng's room, and two chairs are placed next to each other in front of the desk.
Qiao Zheng sat on one of the chairs and waved to Qiao Zhizheng, indicating that she should sit next to her. Qiao Zhizheng looked at Qiao Zheng's hand, and shy memories flooded her heart.
Qiao Zhizheng dragged the chair a little further away, and the chair made an uncomfortable "sizzling" sound as it rubbed against the ground. Qiao Zheng frowned and looked at her.
Qiao Zhizheng forced a smile and laughed twice, "I don't like getting too close to people."
Qiao Zheng let out an ambiguous "huh".
I don’t know who it is, but every time he sees Qiao Zheng, he sticks to her like a bee seeing honey.
Qiao Zheng attributed Qiao Zhizheng's behavior to the fledgling complex.
The two of them carefully studied the script accompanied by the sound of wind and rain. When they came across something that touched them, they picked up a pen and wrote and drew on the paper at hand.
There was wind and rain outside the window, and the yellow leaves on the branches fell all over the ground.
Qiao Zheng glanced out the window and realized that she had been here from summer to autumn without realizing it.
Qiao Zhizheng stared at Qiao Zheng's profile in a trance - Qiao Zheng is so beautiful, hehe!
After the two leading actors were confirmed, Xia Cangshu became even busier, refining and breaking down the script, interviewing actors of all sizes except the protagonists, planning the itinerary, etc.
These things will occupy Xia Cangshu for a long time.
The filming of "Another Me in the World" will not start until at least after the new year.
However, these have nothing to do with Qiao Zheng and Qiao Zhizheng for the time being.
After deciding on a new address for Xu Xunzhen's company, Qiao Zheng was busy with decoration, purchasing equipment, and recruiting employees. Sometimes, Qiao Zheng couldn't understand the meaning of her busy schedule. She wished she could travel back to ten years ago with the suitcase of gold, sell the gold, and still have enough food and clothing.
Xu Xunzhen suppressed a smile as he looked at Qiao Zheng, who was slumped in her office chair with her eyes wide open, and deliberately said, "Why don't you go home and rest for a while?"
Qiao Zheng slowly uttered "No!" "I'm already so exhausted. How can I give up now? How can I justify all the hard work I've put in?"
Xu Xunzhen was a little confused. "I'm working so hard because I owe a lot of money and have no other choice. What about you? What's your motivation?"
From Qiao Zheng's perspective, she could see the azure sky outside the window. Large white clouds were floating in the sky, and the wind was blowing the white clouds slowly drifting. Just one look at them could bring a moment of peace to her restless heart.
Qiao Zheng said, "Because I don't feel safe."
"Only money can bring me a sense of security. The more money I have, the more secure I feel."
"I want to make a lot of money, buy myself a lot of gold, sleep on a bed made of gold, and whether I look left or right, all I see is golden. This is a perfect life!"
Xu Xunzhen's originally playful expression turned more and more serious as Qiao Zheng spoke. He couldn't help but imagine along with Qiao Zheng, "Yes, this is a fulfilling life!"
Xu Xunzhen made a cheering gesture towards Qiao Zheng, "Come on, Qiao Xiaokui!"
Qiao Zheng smiled coldly, "Let's encourage each other, Xu Xiaokui!"
After "hurting each other", Qiao Zheng regained her energy. She touched the golden Pixiu beside her. The head of the golden Pixiu had been rubbed very smooth by Qiao Zheng. Qiao Zheng looked at it and felt much better. She continued to work busy with Xu Xunzhen.
——It’s all about money!
Qiao Zhizheng also lives a very fulfilling life here.
When "Locking Spring Deep" was first aired, the audience had mixed opinions about Qiao Zhizheng. Some said she was a vase, and some extended their dislike for the character to the actor. The comment section on Qiao Zhizheng's Weibo was very lively, with most of the comments scolding her and a small number of her fans who were too embarrassed to speak.
As "Locking Spring Deep" was broadcast in depth, the reputation of Liu Runiang, played by Qiao Zhizheng, improved. Many sharp-eyed viewers noticed that Liu Runiang's attitude towards Guan Shanyue had changed, becoming more and more unusual. Many CP fans of Liu Runiang and Guan Shanyue appeared on the Internet.
When the producer of "Locking Spring Deep" sold the drama to the video website, he had a negative attitude that the sooner it was broadcast, the sooner it would be safe, otherwise it would fail sooner or later. When drawing up the contract, he required the video website to broadcast one episode a day.
Within just one month, "Locking Spring Deep" was broadcast. The publicity of the drama was not strong enough. Several leading actors promoted it on Weibo, but Du Li has been lukewarm and Qiao Zhizheng is even less popular than her. "Locking Spring Deep" did not make much splash.
However, everyone who has seen it says it’s good!
Zhang Yuanyuan is a fan of Qiao Zhizheng's looks. She was amazed by the beautiful drawings of Qiao Zhizheng produced by her favorite artist. She came across Qiao Zhizheng's Weibo and saw the role of Liu Runiang played by Qiao Zhizheng. She fell in love with "Locking Spring Deep" and also became a fan of the couple Liu Runiang and Guan Shanyue.
The character is not related to real people. Zhang Yuanyuan is shipping the characters in the drama and is also a fan of Qiao Zhizheng.
I thought this couple was destined to be lukewarm, but unexpectedly, one day the real person's popularity would burn into the characters.
Three days after the broadcast of "Locking Spring Deep", the last trending search on Weibo - Blast! Du Li divorces for Qiao Zhizheng!
At first, no one paid attention to this trending search, but late at night, it continued to climb and finally ranked among the top three trending searches.
Zhang Yuanyuan was reminded by her CP fans that she quickly logged onto Weibo, entered the hot search terms, and kept scrolling down, seeing several related hot searches:
"Du Li Qiao Zhizheng is gay"
"The characters reflect real people! Du Li and Qiao Zhizheng fall in love during the play"
"Qiao Zhizheng's mistress"
"Filin Pharmaceutical boss Lu Huacheng is a homosexual? A homosexual!"
"I feel pity for Du Liqiao when I see his zheng"
…
Zhang Yuanyuan asked her enthusiasts, "What's going on?"
A fellow enthusiast sent her a link, "Here's the whole story, take a look for yourself."
Zhang Yuanyuan clicked on it.
