Gu Qingqiu and Xiao Yiming have a scene together.
Before filming began, Gu Qingqiu had already memorized her lines and even practiced how to act in front of the mirror several times.
The moment the director yelled "Action," Gu Qingqiu completely transformed into the character in the play, her hysterical roars, desperate tears, and trembling arms all so natural.
The director couldn't help but show an expression of appreciation. Even the staff on set looked at Gu Qingqiu differently. It was amazing that a new generation actress could act in front of a big-name actor without any stage fright!
Wait... what's wrong with Xiao Yiming today?
The director's attention was completely focused on Gu Qingqiu until he watched the playback and noticed that Xiao Yiming's expression was a bit off, and he even paused slightly when delivering his lines.
Before the director could speak, Xiao Yiming apologized, "I'm sorry, it was indeed my fault just now. Please do it again."
However, Gu Qingqiu will have to get caught in the rain again.
That's all we can do. The director was a little disappointed, wondering if Gu Qingqiu could maintain her performance if they filmed it again. It would be such a pity if it was just a fleeting moment.
But to everyone's surprise, Gu Qingqiu's expression was even more vivid in the second take, and her lines were delivered more fluently. Combined with Xiao Yiming's consistently stable and superb acting skills, the filming of this scene was successfully completed.
"That's a wrap!" the director announced excitedly.
Gu Qingqiu nodded silently, took the towel handed to her by the staff, and walked towards the changing room.
Xiao Yiming looked at Gu Qingqiu's slender figure, his feelings were somewhat complicated.
Gu Qingqiu seemed unusually different today. Not only had her acting skills improved by leaps and bounds, but she didn't say another word to me except for reciting her lines. She even skipped greeting me, as if she was deliberately ignoring me.
Deliberately ignoring it... Xiao Yiming suddenly realized that this was a feigned indifference to lure him in!
Ha... is this another new tactic?
If doing this ensures the smooth filming of the scenes, then she should continue doing it this way.
With that thought in mind, Xiao Yiming also left the scene.
...
After changing her clothes, Gu Qingqiu felt dizzy and lightheaded. When she returned to her hotel room and took a temperature check, she found that she had a fever. Her whole body was burning up and she had no strength at all.
Spending so much time in the world of cultivation, I almost forgot that as an ordinary person, I needed to rest properly, eat well, and avoid catching a cold...
It must be because I got soaked in the rain while filming today...
Gu Qingqiu closed her eyes drowsily and fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Qingqiu was shaken awake. "Gu Qingqiu? Wake up! Are you feeling unwell?"
Opening her eyes, Gu Qingqiu saw Ling Jie's somewhat anxious expression. She felt a mix of gratitude and grievance. "Ling Jie..."
Although Sister Ling said yesterday that she wouldn't care about her, she still came to her room to check on her today. Sister Ling really has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Sister Ling said helplessly, "How did you get yourself into this state? How did you get a fever? Get up quickly, I'll take you to the hospital!"
"No need..." Gu Qingqiu was too weak. "I'll just take some fever reducer..."
"No way!" Sister Ling said sternly, "I just took your temperature, and it's 39.1 degrees Celsius! Are you waiting to get brain damage from the fever if you don't go to the hospital?"
"...Huh?" Gu Qingqiu hadn't expected her body to be so weak. "But how are we going to get there..."
Gu Qingqiu has no assistant; she only has Sister Ling as her manager.
Sister Ling gritted her teeth and said, "I'll carry you down!"
Finally, Sister Ling didn't forget to help Gu Qingqiu put on a hat and mask, and then she carried Gu Qingqiu out the door with difficulty. Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped out of the room, the door of the room diagonally opposite them also opened.
Looking at the unconscious Gu Qingqiu, Xiao Yiming asked, "What happened to her?"
Thinking of Gu Qingqiu's audacious behavior last night, Sister Ling chuckled awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed, "Qingqiu is sick. I'll take her to the hospital to get checked out."
"Sick? What kind of sickness?" As soon as Xiao Yiming said this, he remembered that Gu Qingqiu had been repeatedly rained on while filming today.
Sure enough, Sister Ling explained, "It's nothing serious, she just has a fever."
"You call having a fever nothing?" Xiao Yiming took out his phone. "It's too inconvenient for you to go like this. I'll find someone to take you."
"No need, no need!" Sister Ling was flattered. "How could I trouble you like this?"
Without waiting for a reply, Xiao Yiming said, "Wait here, my assistant will be up in a bit."
The movie star's assistant was indeed incredibly efficient, appearing in the hotel corridor in less than two minutes, panting, "What's wrong, Ming-ge? Is something the matter?"
Xiao Yiming gestured with his chin, saying, "Xiao Yang, take her to the hospital."
"Huh?" The assistant then recognized that the person who was wrapped up tightly was Gu Qingqiu, and her expression became somewhat subtle.
Didn't Ming Ge always dislike female celebrities who fawned over him? But she seemed very uncomfortable. Ming Ge is indeed too kind-hearted.
Although I was complaining in my heart, I still had to listen to what the boss said on the surface.
Xiao Yang immediately carried Gu Qingqiu downstairs and drove her to the hospital.
When Gu Qingqiu woke up again, all she could see was a clean white ceiling.
Seeing the IV drip bottle beside her and Sister Ling resting with her eyes closed and her face propped up by her hand, Gu Qingqiu belatedly realized that she was in the hospital.
"Sister Ling..." Gu Qingqiu called softly, then was startled by her own hoarse voice.
Sister Ling immediately woke up and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you feeling better?"
Gu Qingqiu's fever had subsided, but she was still dizzy and weak. "Um... I want to drink water."
Sister Ling opened the thermos and poured a cup of hot water for Gu Qingqiu. Then she carefully helped Gu Qingqiu up and fed her, saying, "Be careful, it's hot."
Gu Qingqiu's eyes welled up with tears. "Thank you, Sister Ling."
Sister Ling was taken aback. Gu Qingqiu seemed to have changed. The Gu Qingqiu of the past had never been so polite to her. She liked to boss people around and took other people's efforts for granted. She never knew how to write the word "gratitude" and was unwilling to say "thank you".
Having personally managed artists for so many years, Sister Ling's eyes welled up with tears. "Take good care of yourself. I've arranged three days off for the crew, so it won't delay the schedule too much. You didn't have many scenes scheduled anyway, so let's get back to work once you're better, okay?"
"Hmm." Gu Qingqiu nodded and exclaimed, "By the way, Sister Ling, you're amazing! You actually carried me all the way to the hospital."
Sister Ling was both amused and exasperated. "It wasn't me, it was Xiao Yang who carried you here."
"Xiao Yang?" Gu Qingqiu asked incredulously. "Is it the Xiao Yang I know?"
"Yes, it's Xiao Yiming's assistant." Sister Ling suddenly became a little wary and said, "You haven't given up yet, have you? He's just taking pity on you, he doesn't have any other intentions towards you, don't overthink it!"
