Chapter 818: The Faded Actress (27)
Gu Qiqi was surprised that she was actually selected. What she didn't expect was that not only was her script selected, but it was also handed to Gu Yuan personally. Wen Wan had her own little ulterior motives, but she wouldn't mislead anyone. However, she had a feeling that Gu Yuan would like the script.
As Wen Wan had hoped, Gu Yuan actually liked the script.
He then handed the script to Wen Wan.
Her face flushed slightly. "Sister Lin Xi, could you act in this script with me?"
Wen Wan: "Have you met my sister-in-law?"
Gu Yuan nodded. He had met Gu Qiqi, so he liked every word of the script, because it was based on him and her. Moreover, Sister Lin Xi had also read the script. Wouldn't it be interesting to give it to him?
He didn't want to give up.
Wen Wan: "I also really like this script, and I'm willing to act in it, but wouldn't that confirm to the fans that our relationship isn't just platonic?"
Gu Yuan was somewhat excited.
"Sister Linxi, I...I like you. I will work hard, and I can give you everything I have. Can you...like me too?"
Wen Wan looked at Gu Yuan.
Thinking back to when the two first met, Gu Yuan was just a child who had recently come of age. In the past few years, he has become more and more mature and exudes his own unique charm.
It makes your heart race at first glance.
Dating this face would probably make you live to be a hundred.
Wen Wan didn't mince words, nodded, and then hugged Gu Yuan directly, "I've been chasing him for so long, it seems I've finally figured it out."
Gu Yuan was somewhat stunned.
A breakthrough?
"Sister Linxi has liked me for a long time?" Is this just his imagination? Is this really something that could happen?
Then Wen Wan's actions proved that Gu Yuan's perception was not wrong.
Wen Wan kissed Gu Yuan.
Because she was shy, Wen Wan let go of Gu Yuan after the kiss.
But Gu Yuan held her tightly, then rubbed against Wen Wan's neck like a big dog.
"Sister Linxi, I love you, and I will always protect you."
And so, the two officially became a couple.
Gu Yuan happily asked Yuan Ya to take on the script. When Yuan Ya found out, she felt a sense of both surprise and expectation, but she was also happy for her artist.
The script was quickly approved as a project.
The title has been decided: "Dangerous Lovers".
The investment was entirely handled by Qiwen, and the director was Lin Yuanzhang, a top director who is best at filming this type of subject matter. The screenwriter was Gu Qiqi, who collaborated with another senior screenwriter. After all, Gu Qiqi was a newcomer. Although the script was very well written, otherwise it would not have been chosen, but she was still inexperienced and had shortcomings. Having a senior to guide her would help her a lot.
Other actors were also quickly found.
With Gu Yuan as a key figure, a great many actors came to audition, and many of them were their own actors, since it's best not to let the profits go to outsiders.
However, there are also artists from other companies, as well as many independent artists.
Wen Wan doesn't interfere with the director's casting decisions, but if her own company's artists are selected, it's a testament to their own abilities.
Lin Yuanzhang, as the director, was very satisfied. At least the capital didn't send in any nepotism candidates with no acting skills. The quality of Qiwen's artists was indeed rare and quite good.
Many of the actors are very talented and their acting skills are quite good. They have clearly put a lot of thought into their craft. I had heard that Qiwen places great emphasis on cultivating actors' acting skills and has hired many teachers. It seems that this has been very effective.
No wonder she's become a top star in the entertainment industry.
Once the actors were cast, filming began.
The news caused a great stir online, as the presence of Gu Yuan and Lin Xi alone was enough to generate a lot of buzz.
Gu Yuan has always been in the film industry, and his output is relatively low compared to other actors. Although all of his works are of high quality, this is the first time he has filmed a TV series in the past two years.
And Lin Xi is actually the female lead.
Gu Yuan, do you love him that much?
CP fans expressed their excitement and said they were totally shipping them, while some unfriendly comments didn't cause much of a stir.
What's even more explosive is that someone started digging into what kind of top-tier script allowed these two to collaborate.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be neither a world-famous classic nor a top-tier IP.
The screenwriter is also a newcomer to the industry; he hasn't even graduated yet.
This is not simple.
Digging deeper, they uncovered Gu Qiqi's identity and the true nature of the script.
Gu Qiqi is actually a major contributor of fanfiction featuring the two characters, and she's quite famous in the fandom because her writing is so good that several of her works have become legendary works.
Although the title "Dangerous Lovers" has been changed, it is actually a top-tier fanfiction in the fandom.
The CP fans have gone crazy.
My favorite fanfiction writer has actually become a screenwriter, and she even brought her fanfiction scripts to the actors, and they even got to ship the two of them in the show.
What a bizarre event!
Passersby were also stunned.
However, some casual observers were pessimistic, after all, it sounded too unreliable, what kind of good script could a fan fiction writer write?
At this point, the participation of that senior screenwriter became especially important, at least relieving Gu Qiqi of a lot of pressure.
However, she didn't care, because she knew that her script would be performed very well.
The novel "Dangerous Lovers" is based on the real-life couple Wen Wan and Gu Yuan, but it is a fictional setting that is detached from reality.
Because it's set in an alternate history, in ancient times.
The female protagonist, Sanyue, is an actress. She was given this name because she was born in March.
He lost his parents at a young age and ended up in the theater, making a living by performing.
The male protagonist, Qiao San Shao, is the third and youngest son of the Qiao family, and was spoiled into a playboy from a young age.
Young Master Qiao fell in love with Sanyue at first sight and then made a rebellious decision to bring Sanyue home and marry her.
The Qiao family naturally disagreed and obstructed the young couple in various ways. Only after the couple's efforts did the Qiao family accept them.
Then, on the day of the wedding, March disappeared.
This disappearance lasted for three years.
Qiao Sanshao transformed from a spoiled playboy into a cold-blooded and aloof person, defeating his two older brothers and forcing the head of the Qiao family to abdicate, thus becoming the new head of the Qiao family.
While Qiao Sanshao was wreaking havoc, Sanyue, who had disappeared for three years, suddenly appeared at the Qiao family's door and fainted.
Young Master Qiao was overjoyed and then took March home.
But when the whole family looked at March, they were like they had seen a ghost.
After the two held a grand wedding, the Qiao family began to suffer deaths every few days. First, several servants died, all by suicide. Then, Qiao's parents died. Qiao's father became a cripple, and Qiao's mother went insane.
As for his two elder brothers, one became disabled and the other died.
Everyone thought that March wasn't human, but only Young Master Qiao was unwavering in his feelings for her, his heart and eyes were always filled with her.
Even though Qiao's father said that March had died and that the ghost that had returned was seeking revenge, Qiao Sanshao didn't say whether he believed it or not. He told Qiao's father, "Even if it's a ghost, as long as it's March, it's fine."
The body was finally found in March, retrieved from the lower reaches of a river.
She was wearing the same dress she wore on the day she disappeared in March, and the same jewelry.
In fact, he died much earlier in March.
Young Master Qiao knew about it from the very first day he returned in March.
He watched helplessly as March retaliated against the Qiao family, even helping to cover it up, because he knew that March was killed by them.
The last person to be reported to in March is oneself.
He waited for his lover's reply. In the end, in March, he sang the first play he had heard when they met. Young Master Qiao did not die. In the entire village, only March was left. Even when Young Master Qiao grew old, he still only had March by his side. March was still as beautiful as a young woman in her late teens.
