136. After winning the award
On the afternoon of the second day after Guan Miao's arrival, Days officially announced that Guan Miao had become the global spokesperson for their jewelry line.
[DAYS is the global spokesperson for the luxury brand. This actress is incredibly influential.]
[Awesome! It turns out there really is a wall between the film and television industries.]
In addition to fans' control of comments, there are also many netizens who like to watch the fun and post everywhere.
[Haha, am I the only one curious about how Shu Yan will treat Guan Miao after she returns to the crew? Someone with more achievements and awards than me is being my supporting actress. Why does this suddenly make me feel good?]
[I don't know if it's fun or not. Anyway, I just want to see them fight. Why am I a little excited?]
[I really want to see if Shu Yan will be suppressed in the later stages?]
Shu Yan's fans quickly came to their defense, saying, "Don't talk nonsense! This drama has already started filming. Even if the supporting actor won an award, we have a written contract in black and white. We will not allow anyone to take advantage of the situation!"
[Although Guan Miao won the Best Actress award, she is not as popular or as popular as Shu Yan. How dare she overshadow Yan Yan?]
[She just won the Best Actress award and she's already trying to suppress the lead role. What a bad character!]
[The second female lead in this drama is more impressive than the lead. We all know Shu Yan's acting skills, but she's definitely not as good as Guan Miao.]
[Hey, now that I've put it that way, Guan Miao's reason for taking on this role is even more compelling. He's clearly trying to step on our Yanyan to get ahead. Poor Yanyan, she's become a bloodbath.]
There were more and more similar posts, and Guan Miao’s fans naturally saw some of them, and couldn’t help but defend their idol.
Just like that, the two groups of fans started to attack each other.
Deng Ling naturally also knew about the melee and arranged some water armies to take part, mainly to protect Guan Miao's reputation.
She had just won the Best Actress award, so her foundation was indeed unstable. Shu Yan had been in the industry for many years and had been in front of the public for several years. This would only affect Guan Miao's popularity.
Guan Miao also knew about the melee, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.
"After all this commotion, it seems Shu Yan will soon regard me as a thorn in her side."
"You're overthinking it."
"Hmm?" Guan Miao looked up at her in confusion. "Shu Yan has long regarded you as a thorn in her side. You're too slow to react."
Hearing this, Guan Miao sighed deeply and said with a hint of pleading, "I hope everything goes well in the next shoot!"
"How is that possible? Let's not talk about Shu Yan, let's talk about Qu Bo. Is he sending you ambiguous signals from time to time?"
Guan Miao gets a headache whenever he mentions this. "Yeah, but he didn't say it explicitly. I've rejected his invitations several times, both explicitly and implicitly. I thought I was being very obvious, but he didn't seem to notice at all."
"Don't bother me, they just want to hype up your relationship. Shu Yan is the official couple in the show, so even without him getting involved, the director will prioritize hyping up your relationship. But you're pretty popular too, so they're secretly hyping you up, trying to get the best of both worlds. As long as one of the couples becomes popular, they won't suffer any loss."
Deng Ling's eyes turned as she finished speaking, "Of course there's another possibility. Shu Yan has been in the industry for many years. Although she's had two or three public relationships, we don't comment too much on them privately, but I can tell you that she's definitely had a lot of men.
Qu Bo must have known he couldn't handle Shu Yan, so he chose you. He figured you'd only been in the industry for a short time and might still have some fantasies about romance within it, so he wanted to see if he could win you over.
He doesn't say it explicitly, but if you initiate the conversation, he'll just agree. If you don't, he'll just keep flirting with you. He can always hire paparazzi to take photos from all angles, and then hype things up.
If you clarify things later, he'll follow suit and even do you a favor. "No matter how you look at it, he won't lose out."
Hearing this, Guan Miao showed a look of disdain, "Dating? I'm just here to do my business. What's the point of dating?"
Deng Ling repeatedly confirmed her expression, "You really don't have any feelings for Qu Bo."
"Of course. His looks and his manner of speaking are not my type. Do you think I should just reject him?"
"No, since you are sure you don't like him, I will help you deal with it."
After playing in S City for two days, Guan Miao’s vacation was about to end, and she and everyone boarded a plane back to L City.
After receiving the news that she had returned, the director told her to take a day off and join the crew tomorrow.
Guan Miao had no reason to refuse a vacation. After practicing in the hotel for an entire afternoon, he went to the crew the next day with full confidence.
Coincidentally, the first person to meet her was Shu Yan, "Hello, Teacher Shu Yan."
Shu Yan still had a gentle smile on her face, as if she was not affected at all by the online comments.
"Teacher Guan Miao is back. Congratulations on winning the Best Actress trophy. It's such a happy occasion. I also prepared a gift for you, but I'm not with you right now. I'll send it to your room when I get back. How about that?"
Guan Miao was a little flattered by her politeness and quickly said, "Teacher Shu Yan is really too polite. In fact, there is no need to spend so much money."
"That won't do. Such a big event should of course be celebrated by everyone. You weren't here the past two days, so why not tonight and let's all go out for a meal together to celebrate for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Miao came to his senses.
Love is just trying to do a favor with oneself. I paid the money, but the good reputation all falls on Shu Yan.
If two paparazzi were arranged to hype up their sisterhood and issue a press release, wouldn't she be portrayed as a gentle, beautiful and generous person?
I am just a tool.
Guan Miao put away his sincere smile and said, "Teacher Shu Yan is right. Winning the trophy is a great joy. So I prepared some small gifts for everyone, and I also want to thank everyone for their help during this period."
"Oh?" Shu Yan raised an eyebrow, her gaze falling on her and the two assistants beside her. Seeing that their hands were empty, she asked curiously, "So what has Teacher Guan Miao prepared?"
"Teacher Shu Yan, don't worry! I've asked my assistant to get it. Teacher Shu Yan, please wait a moment, they will be here soon."
"Then I'll look forward to it."
After watching Shu Yan walk away, Guan Miao took An Jing back to his dressing room.
After not seeing her for a few days, the room still looked the same as when she left.
After closing the door, Guan Miao looked at An Jing and asked, "Is everything okay?"
"Don't worry, Hanamiki and Xiangpengpeng are very cooperative. As for Daisi, their largest stock is necklaces, which are 3,000 each. With a crew of 500 people, the total price is 1.5 million. You should be fine."
She nodded without hesitation, "Of course, when you send it off, ask me to come along."
"good."
Meanwhile, Shuangshuang opened a drawer and replaced all the cosmetics she had brought with her. "We've been gone for so many days. No one can guarantee that these cosmetics are flawless. We're not short of money anyway. Let's just get some peace of mind by replacing them with new ones."
When I was halfway through putting on makeup, the director knocked on the door and came in.
"Miaomiao."
"Director Si, why are you here?"
"I came to see you." The driver pulled out a chair and sat down with ease. "I came to see if you've recovered after two days of playing outside."
"Don't worry, I've completely taken it back. There won't be any problems."
Director Si nodded. "I've always had confidence in your acting skills. It's just that the crew has been hearing some rumors these past few days."
"Director, just tell me straight away, what do you want me to do?"
"Hmm?" Director Si looked at him doubtfully, then understood. "You didn't think I was here to plead for Shu Yan, did you?"
When she said this, Guan Miao became confused, with a look of "Isn't it?"
Director Si chuckled, "Of course not. I know Shu Yan's acting skills better than you do. Her upper limit is there.
I won't change the script, nor will I ask you to force Shu Yan to take the spotlight. She was selected initially partly because of financial pressure and partly because of her popularity.
My original request to her was to just stay within the script, but she's not focused on acting right now. If she doesn't listen to my advice, it's only a matter of time before she's in trouble."
"So Director Si is here to reassure me today?"
Director Si nodded and said, "I will persuade Shu Yan again, but how much she will listen is not up to me.
I think when you two are acting together, you can try to guide her and bring her into the role. This will have a much better effect."
"Bringing others into the role?" Guan Miao's words were filled with hesitation and lack of confidence. "I don't think I can do that right now."
Hearing her say this, Si Dao was not disappointed. "You can consider it. If you can bring others into your play and take the initiative in the play, your acting skills will have another qualitative leap."
Hearing this, Guan Miao nodded repeatedly and said seriously: "I will study hard. Thank you for the advice, Director Si."
"Okay, I won't keep you from getting your makeup done. Come meet me outside when you're ready."
After seeing off the driver and guide, Shuangshuang quickly put on makeup and changed clothes for Guan Miao, trying not to make the staff outside wait too long.
Twenty-five minutes later, Shuangshuang stopped and looked at Guan Miao's face with satisfaction. "Done, my skills are really getting better and better."
Guan Miao looked at herself in the mirror and said, "I feel so fierce after putting on the witch costume."
"Hehe," Shuangshuang said with her hands on her hips and laughed, "That just goes to show that my makeup skills are very advanced. I can change your image with just one makeup look."
She nodded and gave Shuangshuang a thumbs up, "Indeed, let's go out quickly and don't keep the director and everyone waiting for too long."
After going out, I saw that the other leading actors had also changed their clothes. Director Si didn't wait for long and directly said to start filming.
Originally, when Guan Miao said she was ready, Director Si thought it was just a polite remark and was prepared to reshoot the scene several times.
Unexpectedly, Guan Miao was in amazing condition and passed the first scene after only two takes.
"Everyone take a twenty-minute break."
During the break, Sun Mi trotted over to her side and said, "Sister Guan Miao, the stuff has arrived. Do you want to send it out now?"
"Send it now. I'll join you."
As she said that, she stood up and walked out of the set with An Jing and Shuang Shuang.
