Chapter 368 I am the Ageless Goddess (Twenty-Four)
This is not the first time that Gu Qingcheng has acted with someone who has no acting skills.
Not to mention the distant past, even the most recent "Beauty's Scheme", the male lead Xiao Yikun's acting was very bad.
But, even though he has no acting skills, he has an attitude of learning.
He did not take advantage of his status as a top star to arbitrarily modify the script or mindlessly add more scenes for himself.
Maybe because he is an idol, Xiao Yikun is very humble on the set.
No matter what he is like in private, he respects his predecessors, directors, screenwriters, etc. in public.
When there were veteran actors making guest appearances in a movie, he would sit in the corner and watch.
He would also blush and shyly run to the veteran actors to ask for advice.
Although the older generations are not happy with the chaos in the entertainment industry, they also don’t like those young actors who have no acting skills.
But everyone in the "Beauty's Scheme" crew has a good impression of Xiao Yikun.
Lack of acting skills has to do with talent and is an objective reason.
But attitude and the like are Xiao Yikun's subjective wishes.
Compared with Xiao Yikun, the second female lead is nothing.
"People are calling Liang Yihan a drama queen online. Let me see, our second female lead is the real drama queen."
"That's right, I heard that you have to drink some kind of water, and you have to use mineral water for bathing."
"A person who doesn't even have any works actually has seven or eight assistants."
"Tsk tsk, the crowds of fans are so impressive, he's even more of a superstar than an international superstar!"
Wang Mo really couldn't stand it.
Their teacher Gu is the real international star.
She’s not as ostentatious as the second female lead.
"Tell the director that if you follow this version of the script, I won't shoot it!"
"If you breach the contract, I will pay you!"
Gu Qingcheng slammed the script shut and threw it on the table.
Zhu Tingting and Wang Mo were shocked.
The two looked at each other.
After a while, Zhu Tingting said hesitantly, "Teacher Gu, we, we are just complaining!"
"The show still needs to be filmed!"
After all, it’s a drama with a strong female lead.
The pay is also very sincere.
After making one drama, it can cost another 40 to 50 million.
Moreover, with such a troublesome second female lead, even if the TV series fails in the future, it can’t be blamed on our own teacher Gu.
"No! The crew actually let the actors bring the screenwriters into the crew. This is too unruly!"
"The second female lead brought the screenwriter, what about the first and second male leads? Do they also have to bring them?"
Gu Qingcheng said coldly, "Everyone wants to add their own scenes if they bring in a screenwriter. I guess even the director can't guarantee what this drama will become!"
"I have already ruined my reputation with the drama 'Beauty'. If there is another bad drama like this, I will probably be labeled the 'Queen of Bad Dramas'."
That's not a nice word!
Gu Qingcheng is no longer short of money. What she wants is the evergreen art! What she wants is the image of an ageless goddess!
She always shoots bad dramas. She calls herself a goddess, but she’s almost like a psycho!
Zhu Tingting and Wang Mo exchanged glances again.
Zhu Tingting: ...What should I do? Teacher Gu is really angry! Wang Mo: ...It's not Teacher Gu's fault, the film crew is too much! In fact, Zhu Tingting and Wang Mo can understand Gu Qingcheng's decision.
One drama flopped, two dramas were terrible, the pay was high, but there was no artistry to speak of.
Some netizens have previously cursed that Gu Qingcheng has lost even her dignity for money.
When this doomed flop, "The Great Doctor Jing Cheng," is aired, the online criticism will surely be even harsher.
"Then I should go and communicate with the director and producer first?"
Zhu Tingting thought for a while before asking tentatively.
"Go ahead! Tell him my opinion! I don't mind being called a big shot!"
It's better to be a big shot or a drama tyrant than to produce bad work.
Gu Qingcheng had already crossed out this crew in her mind.
Gu Qingcheng also remained pessimistic about Zhu Tingting's communication with the director.
Perhaps, due to Gu Qingcheng's status, the director made concessions in order to appease Gu Qingcheng.
However, Gu Qingcheng couldn't guarantee whether the film crew would do something weird next time?
Even if we manage to finish filming the drama, what about post-production?
There is no need to make malicious cuts, just choose an unsuitable voice actor to ruin Gu Qingcheng's efforts! Gu Qingcheng never mind speculating on the other party with the greatest malice.
She never gambles on how complicated human nature is.
Sometimes, you think it's impossible, but someone will do it.
"Teacher Gu, your request is reasonable, how come it becomes 'playing big shot'?"
Zhu Tingting smiled awkwardly and said a few words, then ran to communicate with the director.
Gu Qingcheng took out her cell phone and called Sister Hua again.
"What happened again?"
Sister Hua's voice came over.
"What do you mean 'again'? Sis, from your tone, it sounds like I'm always causing you trouble!"
Gu Qingcheng pretended to be dissatisfied and said a few words in a coquettish manner.
Sister Hua didn't say anything, just sneered.
As if to say: Isn't it? For example, if you are fine this time, would you call me? Gu Qingcheng also laughed, and she used the tone of coaxing an elder, "Oh, my sister is the best to me! If I am bullied, of course I will look for you!"
"What? You were bullied?"
When Sister Hua heard this, she found it ridiculous.
Who is my stinky sister? Gu Qingcheng!
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Looking at the entire domestic entertainment industry, there are very few people who dare to bully her! It's good enough that she doesn't bully others.
Who would be so blind as to provoke her?
"Why doesn't anyone dare? I guess it's because I've been abroad for more than ten years, and people think I'm just an outdated old woman!"
Gu Qingcheng put away her smile and said calmly, "The sponsor of "The Great Doctor Jing Cheng" doesn't seem to take me seriously."
Sister Hua sat up straight and said seriously, "Tell me! What happened?"
As an elder sister and partner, Sister Hua knows her naughty younger sister too well.
Although Gu Qingcheng is not a good person, she is not someone who loses her temper for no reason.
She is very rational and knows how to restrain herself.
Even if she is unhappy or dissatisfied, as long as her bottom line is not touched, she can remain polite.
And once she got angry, there could only be one possibility: the other party was too much! Gu Qingcheng then told her about the watering down of the script and the extra scenes of the second female lead.
Sister Hua frowned, "This shouldn't be the case! The producer personally approached me and repeatedly invited me with great sincerity, so I helped you take the job."
The film producers definitely value Gu Qingcheng and want to use her fame to increase the TV series' selling price and ratings.
To put it bluntly, Gu Qingcheng is the biggest selling point of "The Great Doctor Jing Cheng".
It's totally unreasonable to offend her.
"Maybe it's because 'Beauty's Conspiracy' failed!"
Gu Qingcheng was not blinded by anger and pointed out the problem rationally.
Yes, the first shot after returning to China was not fired.
Not only did the gun fail, but he almost got himself killed.
The myth of Gu Qingcheng as an international superstar seemed to have been broken.
It is understandable that the investors have doubts about Gu Qingcheng's ability to carry the show.
The entertainment industry is so realistic.
As long as there is a Waterloo, the past glory will only be "past".
Too many superstars who were once famous became worse than 18th-tier celebrities once they became out of fashion.
Now the investor did not replace Gu Qingcheng, but just brought in another investor, and the investor stuffed a second female lead in, which was already considered giving face to Gu Qingcheng.
After all, the leading actress of this drama is still Gu Qingcheng! "..."
Sister Hua never regarded Gu Qingcheng as an ordinary artist.
She is his sister and his partner for more than ten years.
It can be said that apart from their parents, sisters are the closest people to them.
If Gu Qingcheng was bullied, Sister Hua would only become more angry.
"What do you think?"
"Break the contract."
Gu Qingcheng didn't want to play along with such a crew.
"……good!"
Sister Hua agreed without much hesitation.
She thought for a moment and said, "It just so happens that I just talked to a teacher at the drama theater, and the teacher said that the theater is currently preparing a new drama."
“It’s also related to medical treatment. It’s an original new work.”
"If you are interested, you can come and try it!"
No one would say that Gu Qingcheng refused to act in "The Great Doctor Jing Cheng" and instead performed in a drama.
Everyone would just think that the crew of "The Great Doctor Jing Cheng" must have done something to cause Gu Qingcheng to protest like this.
As we all know, the pay for TV dramas can easily reach tens of millions.
As for drama, there is basically not much money.
Ahem, Gu Qingcheng joined the drama theater and is a regular actor, earning three thousand five hundred yuan a month.
It is normal work for one's own actors to perform in one's own theater.
How is it possible to charge hundreds or even tens of millions extra in film remuneration?
PS: It’s almost the middle of the month, maybe I can get some monthly tickets! (#^.^#)
