Chapter 51
A gentle kiss falls softly and densely, a deep sense of cherishing, profound apology, and reluctance to part with love.
Slowly soothing the panic in Rong Rong's heart, it stirred up a sense of longing in her.
The room was quiet, but there were a few slightly heavy breaths. Everyone looked at the two people kissing in the middle with different expressions. Some gritted their teeth in hatred, some looked with dazed eyes, some were filled with jealousy, and some were full of longing.
Without exception, everyone suppressed their emotions and tried their best to remain rational.
It's no wonder they reacted so strongly; the beauty was simply too striking.
"Cough, alright, alright, let's move on to the next round!" Li Gu coughed loudly, waking Rong Rong and Lin Zeyang.
Rong Rong quickly left Lin Zeyang's embrace. Lin Zeyang was filled with disappointment and regret, and his hands unconsciously clenched, as if recalling the warmth of the beauty's body.
He aimed a flying dagger at Li Gu with his eyes narrowed, expressing his anger.
Li Gu remained calm and nonchalant, instructing the props teacher to fetch the water sleeves.
Rong Rong's face flushed red. She quietly pressed her chest, feeling the rapid heartbeat beneath her hand.
Just now, she actually believed that she was Nongying, deeply in love with the man in front of her, Chenhe.
Rong Rong, who was experiencing a soul-to-soul connection with a character for the first time, had never been in such a situation before. A mix of emotions, including surprise, amusement, shyness, and panic, welled up in her heart, causing her to lower her head and look down, unable to meet Lin Zeyang's gaze.
The beauty was shy and timid, delicate and charming. Lin Zeyang suddenly stood there, unable to move an inch.
Finally, the prop master forcefully pulled Lin Zeyang aside.
In the past, a prop master would never have dared to be so rude to Lin Zeyang, but now, in front of a beauty, everything else has to take a backseat.
Don't think that just because you're handsome, have a lot of fans, or are a big star, you can get close to beauties and let Director Li see if you have any chemistry. Do you even deserve it?
The prop master said nothing, but it was as if he had said a lot. His facial expressions changed rapidly, making Lin Zeyang's face turn as black as a pot.
Upon receiving the familiar water sleeves, Rong Rong immediately returned to her usual self. With a flick of her sleeves, she began to sing a classic aria from "The Peony Pavilion."
In her area of expertise, Rong Rong is a queen, confident and radiant, her whole being sparkling.
Everyone present had seen "The Peony Pavilion," even if it was a performance by a top national Kunqu Opera master.
But no matter how great the master or how professional the performance, none of them are as amazing as this piece.
It was an indescribable feeling; the unique charm and special allure of the beauty deeply captivated everyone's hearts.
The beautiful woman's bright eyes sparkled, her skirt fluttered, and she sang a melodious and lingering song. Her elegant water sleeves fluttered up and down, and her graceful figure exuded charm.
This was an ultimate audio-visual feast, as if instantly transporting everyone to that decadent metropolis, where war raged outside and life was one of hedonism and debauchery inside.
Day and night, fire and ice, life and death, light and darkness.
It represents two extremes, contradictions, divisions, yet also harmony and unity.
When Rong Rong finished her song, everyone felt thoroughly satisfied, yet also lost in thought, unwilling to come back to their senses or speak for a long time.
They were reminiscing about the world depicted in the play, and about the beautiful woman.
Rong Rong stood there, slightly out of breath. Her expectant eyes shone brightly like a thousand stars as she stared intently at Li Gu, making Li Gu feel hot all over.
This is the Shadow He wanted! This is an existence even more perfect than his own Shadow!
but......
Li Gumo frowned, but she was just too perfect. Would Shen He in the drama really be willing to abandon her and go to the battlefield?
This seems unreasonable.
Li Gu was deeply annoyed. He looked at Rong Rong for a long time without saying a word. If it were him, he would definitely not be able to bear it.
Rong Rong waited for a long time, but seeing the director frowning and not saying a word, her expectation slowly turned into disappointment, and the light in her eyes gradually disappeared.
Seeing this, everyone felt a sudden pain in their hearts and turned their dissatisfied gazes toward Li Gu.
It's time to show your skills! Mr. Zhang's eyes lit up and he coughed suddenly, about to speak up to persuade him, when Lin Zeyang's clear voice interrupted.
"I think Ms. Rong's performance was perfect and she is very suitable for the role of Nongying."
Mr. Zhang's eyes widened and he quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, I also think Miss Rong is suitable!"
"I support Miss Rong playing Nongying!"
"Seeing Miss Rong is like seeing the living Nongying standing right in front of me."
"This role is perfect for Miss Rong!"
......
Everyone rushed to show their support, and even Ms. Wang, the screenwriter who was always strict about casting, actively expressed her satisfaction, fearing that Li Gu would miss out on Rong Rong.
But in reality, how could Ms. Wang, as the screenwriter, not know Li Gu's worries? She was simply blinded by beauty and only wanted to keep Rong Rong around regardless of the consequences.
Li Gu's expression shifted slightly, as if he had been persuaded, yet he still seemed worried.
Lin Zeyang's eyes flickered, and he immediately understood Li Gu's thoughts. Having spent many days with Li Gu and having a lot of filming experience, he naturally reacted very quickly.
"With Rong Rong involved, I believe that 'Unreachable' will definitely break the box office record and become a classic film that people will reminisce about every year!"
"Because Rong Rong herself is a legend."
Lin Zeyang said the last sentence while looking at Rong Rong, his eyes burning with sincerity, as if he were confessing his love to her. Rong Rong tilted her head and smiled sweetly, cute and playful. Unlike her previous gentle and graceful demeanor, she became lively and clever, making Lin Zeyang's breath catch in his throat and his heart pound like a drum.
The interaction between the two made many people's eyes red with envy, while Li Gu suddenly realized what was going on.
He's really too attached to appearances, only caring about what's reasonable and unreasonable, forgetting that what he wants most is box office success and to create classic characters.
With Rong Rong around, what does it matter if the plot is a bit illogical? Who will pay attention? Who will care? People will only remember that graceful beauty who stunned the world.
Li Gu made the decision on the spot, and the contract was signed immediately. Rong Rong got the role she wanted and became the only actor signed by the "Unreachable" crew today.
After leaving the film crew, Rong Rong was in a great mood and was about to go back, but after taking a few steps she suddenly froze and realized that she could not go back to the manor.
Otherwise, Qiu Xing would definitely prevent her from joining the crew, and she couldn't go to the Rong family's and Shang Feng's villas either. In addition, she couldn't let them know about her.
After much deliberation, Rong Rong decided to rent an apartment herself. She took out the original owner's bank card and decided to check how much money was in it.
As a result, after excitedly logging onto the mobile banking interface, I was completely bewildered by the words "the card has been frozen".
I have a bad feeling...
Rong Rong quickly switched between several cards, and without exception, they were all frozen.
The Rong family is trying to force her to go back.
