Chapter 83 Intimacy Huh~ Isn’t intimacy here?
The new actress who was harassed by the bald man that day was named Xu He.
Xu He discovered that the bald guy had not been to the crew for a long time. Except for the director who looked a little unhappy, no one reacted to the bald guy's disappearance.
All this started to change when Qiao Zhizheng suddenly appeared that day. What happened since then was completely beyond Xu He's expectations.
This was Xu He's first play. Her parents did not agree with her entering the entertainment industry and cut off her financial resources. However, Xu He gritted her teeth and stepped into this circle. Her self-confidence came from the compliments of others on her appearance since she was a child. She was often praised by her teachers in acting classes, which gave her a sense of confidence - the entertainment industry was born for me, Xu He. I have good looks, strength and acting skills, and I will definitely shine in the entertainment industry.
Reality dealt her a heavy blow. Without resources, she could only audition from one crew to another. Without connections, she was only given minor roles. Even her arrogance when she first joined the crew was so inconsistent with reality that the makeup artist looked down on her, and the results were disappointing.
Xu He thought she was a pearl in the dust, but she didn't expect that there were so many pearls with both beauty and talent in the entertainment industry, and there were many people who couldn't make it, and what they lacked was a little luck.
Xu He was nearly dead from the reality, but having embarked on this path, she had no intention of looking back. A girl without anyone's support was like walking on a single-plank bridge, heading towards the unknown ahead all alone. There were brilliant dreams in the unknown, and with the determination to burn her boats, Xu He thought, what if I am just one step away from success? I shouldn't give up just like that.
Facing the big bald guy, Xu He felt tired and thought, forget it, let it be, there is no real contact anyway. However, under the discouragement and loss, there was also the embarrassment of having his former pride severely hit.
Let it go? No! Someone told her she shouldn't just let it go.
Xu He had a guess that Qiao Zhizheng was the one who did it.
Xu He bravely found an opportunity to stop her. Facing Qiao Zhizheng's questioning gaze, Xu He was extremely nervous, but his eyes remained fixed on her face. "...Thank you. What do you think of me? Will I ever become famous?"
Xu He no longer dreams of becoming an international superstar. She only hopes to make some achievements in the entertainment industry, so that more people can see her and let those who are not optimistic about her see that she - Xu He, has made the right decision!
Qiao Zhizheng heard her hard tone and felt that she was not asking "Can you become famous?" but "Can you make me famous?"
Qiao Zhizheng turned to meet her eyes. There were many things in Xu He's eyes: shattered pride, uncompromising persistence, long-lasting unyielding spirit, discouragement, loss, and expectation...
Qiao Zhizheng vaguely saw herself in the small rental house, looking at the mirror with red eyes.
Xu He saw the person in front of him, who seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then smiled softly. This moment remained in Xu He's heart. Many years later, when he thought about it, he still felt that this moment was like a spring breeze blowing across a thousand miles of frozen land, the ice and snow melted, and the flowers bloomed. Qiao Zhizheng opened her red lips and said, "Yes."
Qiao Zhizheng recommended Xu He to Qin Qiushui, "You can find the most suitable role with her. From now on, just take it step by step..."
Xu He has good looks and a unique temperament. She should be able to shine in the hands of Qin Qiu Shui, who loves to discover the potential of beauties.
Xu He nodded, "Okay."
Qiao Zhizheng hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and then spoke bluntly, "Try to control your nervousness when talking to people." Qiao Zhizheng blinked and broke the stalemate with a joking tone, "When you came to talk to me just now, I thought you wanted to beat me up."
Xu He waved his hands quickly, "No, I'm not like that, I..."
Xu He was filled with embarrassment at asking unreasonable questions to a stranger. It was like someone with social anxiety suddenly found himself on a street full of strange foreigners, asking for directions in broken English, only to be met with puzzled looks. He wished he could find a hole to crawl into, but he had to force himself to ask again, feeling ashamed that no one cared but he.
Qiao Zhizheng calmed her panic and said to her gently, "Okay, of course I know you don't think so. It's just a little joke. Come on, smile."
Xu He forced a stiff smile, which was uglier than crying.
Qiao Zhizheng knew that her presence made her nervous, so she encouraged her for a few words and then passed by her without saying anything else.
Xu He: ...
Xu He: Ahhhhhhhhh! From today on, I am a fan of Qiao Zhizheng.
Xu He covered his face, a group of little people in his heart jumped up and down, dancing and screaming wildly——
"I'm so awesome! I don't even know her and I asked her such an awkward question!"
"She actually pushed resources to me?!"
"Qiao Zhizheng is so nice!"
"but……"
"I rushed in without thinking anything at the time. Thinking about it now, it's so embarrassing! Awkward!"
Xu He thought, when he has the chance in the future, he must thank Qiao Zhizheng!
Definitely! Xu He! Come on!
Qiao Zhizheng knew nothing about Xu He's psychological activities. They were just a chance encounter, so Qiao Zhizheng didn't take it seriously. However, she had recently encountered a troublesome matter.
As the female lead in "Love Tower Reading 12," Qiao Zhizheng naturally had a lot of scenes, but filming went smoothly and wrapped relatively early. Qiao Zheng's role as the second female lead, Jiang Ci, in "The Lonely Boat" wasn't as extensive, but Lin Yiwei was very demanding, emphasizing a meticulous approach. Any shot she wasn't satisfied with or didn't feel right would be retaken, so Qiao Zheng didn't even wrap up filming.
Qiao Zhizheng signed a contract as a voice actor for "Children of the Stars" and also participated in a video platform party. Qiao Zheng's filming had not yet been completed, so Qiao Zhizheng flew to see Qiao Zheng.
The crew was closed to block onlookers. When Qiao Zhizheng arrived at the crew, Qiao Zheng's assistant Xiao Zhao had already known the news and was waiting at the door, and brought Qiao Zhizheng in. On the way, Qiao Zhizheng also met a girl dressed in colorful clothes, wearing sunglasses, and walking in with her head held high and chest held high like a peacock with its neck raised.
Xiao Zhao glanced at her and whispered to Qiao Zhizheng, "This is the male protagonist's sister. She likes Sister Qiao very much."
Qiao Zhizheng didn't know Xiao Zhao very well, but the hesitation in her last sentence was obvious, and she immediately realized something was wrong. "What kind of like?"
Xiao Zhao was a little hesitant. After all, these were just her guesses, and she felt embarrassed to say them in front of Qiao Zheng's real girlfriend.
Qiao Zhizheng stared at her with sharp eyes.
Xiao Zhao sighed inwardly and decided to disclaim responsibility, explaining that it was just a guess: "This is all just my imagination, Teacher Qiao, don't take it seriously..."
Qiao Zhizheng hummed with an unclear expression.
The male protagonist is called Xu Ying, and his sister is called Xu Xiangwan.
"When Xu Xiangwan came to visit Xu Ying on set, she happened to see Sister Qiao and Xu Ying filming a scene together. Sister Qiao was suspended from a wire, slashing down with a sword. The scenery was a peach blossom forest, and the blower was blowing too hard, so a fake petal flew from Sister Qiao onto Xu Xiangwan's hand as she watched. She immediately said, 'It's fate,' and from then on, she often gave Sister Qiao gifts whenever Xu Ying visited on set."
Xiao Zhao knew so many details because she was good at gossiping around in the crew.
"But Sister Qiao usually rejects her advances intact. She even refused Xu Xiangwan's invitation to go out with her."
Qiao Zhizheng finally spoke: "So what did you mean by saying those words at the beginning..."
Xiao Zhao swallowed and secretly glanced at Qiao Zhizheng. Seeing that her expression was relatively calm, he lowered his already low voice even more. "We all think Xu Xiangwan might like Sister Qiao." As soon as the words fell, Xiao Zhao immediately refuted himself and laughed dryly. "But the person involved hasn't admitted it personally. I just heard them guessing. Don't listen to this nonsense..."
"It's not nonsense! It's not something they spread! I really like you!"
Xiao Zhao recognized that it was Xu Xiangwan's voice and immediately shut up.
At the corner ahead was Qiao Zheng, who was originally looking very happy and ready to meet Qiao Zhizheng, but was stopped and confessed to.
Xiao Zhao turned his head and looked at Qiao Zhizheng, whose face was as calm as the waves before a storm.
Xiao Zhao lowered his head and began to study the grass growing in the cracks between the bricks next to him. It was so green, so full of vitality, and so full of the spirit of striving and striving...
After studying it, it was discovered that time did not speed up, and it still flowed at the same speed. Xiao Zhao heard Xu Xiangwan say -
"I know you two aren't really a couple."
Qiao Zheng asked calmly, "I'm curious how you knew that."
The design of this corridor is very clever. After turning a corner, people on this side and the other side cannot see each other, but can hear clear voices on both sides.
Xu Xiangwan had good reasoning: "First of all! You look so alike! You must be related by blood. Two people who are related by blood cannot be together."
"Secondly, the only photos circulating online are of you holding hands and hugging, no more intimate photos."
"Finally, you've been on the set for so long, and she hasn't even come to visit you. How can you still be a couple? Real couples wouldn't be like you, separated by two miles and never seeing each other!"
Qiao Zhizheng heard Qiao Zheng's usual sneer. This sneer was directed at Qiao Zhizheng at first, but later Qiao Zheng's attitude gradually changed, and Qiao Zhizheng never heard her usual sarcastic sneer again.
Hearing this, Qiao Zhizheng felt a shudder on her back. This feeling... was something she hadn't felt in a long time.
Qiao Zheng's tone was cold, not intending to leave anyone with any illusions: "First of all, Qiao Zhizheng and I look like a married couple.
Secondly, the paparazzi don’t live in my house, so where did so many intimate photos come from?
at last……"
Before Qiao Zheng finished speaking, Qiao Zhizheng's words came from behind Xu Xiangwan with a smile, "I'm coming~"
When Qiao Zheng saw Qiao Zhizheng's appearance, her eyes lit up, and her cold tone couldn't help but warm up. She continued, "We are all working hard on the filming. We just want to finish it as soon as possible so we can find each other."
The temporary reunion makes the separation even more sad. The feeling of emptiness and loss makes people depressed and it takes several days to recover.
Qiao Zhizheng threw herself into Qiao Zheng's arms, held her head and gave her a quick kiss.
Humph~ Isn’t this the intimacy?
