Chapter 179
Director Gu was not surprised by Yunshu's refusal. It was a 50-50 chance. She might agree, but she might also refuse. It's inevitable that he would be a little disappointed, but this emotion was gone in a flash. He changed his words and continued, "Don't rush to refuse. I don't mean to ask you to enter the entertainment industry and become a professional actor. Just star in a play alone. The male lead is Jing Ling, and you play the female lead. People outside don't know that you are in a relationship, and it is estimated that you can't make it public in the short term, but you can show your love openly in the movie! How about it, are you moved?"
Director Gu felt that this condition was very tempting, but the moment he finished speaking, Yun Shu shook his head without hesitation and refused again, "No, thank you."
As long as Jing Ling is hers and she is the only one in her heart, it is enough. There is no need to tell the whole world or get anyone's approval. Maybe some people like to show off their happiness, but she is not one of them.
Director Gu: “…”
I'm so angry. This is different from what I imagined. Why not follow the script? !
But he still didn't give up. He had a big move that he thought he wouldn't be able to use, but now it seemed he had no choice but to use it. "Let me tell you, there will be 18+ scenes in this drama. Are you sure you won't be jealous?!"
"Wait!" Jing Ling, who had been standing by and watching Director Gu's performance, became anxious. "I've read the script, and I know the plot. There's no such thing as 18+. You've gone from pyramid selling to fraud in an instant!"
Director Gu glared at him when he heard that. "Don't talk nonsense. The script you read is not the final version. This is what I just thought of. I came to you to discuss this plot!"
Seeing his self-righteous look, Jing Ling was speechless for once. "You are a great director after all... Let's not talk about this for now. Let me see the script you revised."
So the group got together and started discussing the new plot.
Director Gu did not lie. The new plot was indeed something he had thought of before, and it was not a lie he made up on the spur of the moment to deceive Yunshu. The 18+ plot takes place during the captivity, and it considers the mentality of the male protagonist and the way his sister died. Under extreme emotions, people can easily lose their reason and be dominated by primitive desires.
This is very common in art films. It has nothing to do with eroticism, it's just necessary for the plot.
Although we often see news about TV dramas frequently using stand-ins because the leading actors have overlapping schedules, such as martial arts stand-ins, hand stand-ins, nude stand-ins, kiss stand-ins, back stand-ins, and even cutouts, it seems that the actors only need to give their names, hang around the crew, and shoot a few promotional videos, and they can get sky-high pay, and the rest of the work can be left to the stand-ins.
However, this phenomenon rarely occurs in movies, especially in literary and artistic films. There are not too many dangerous shots that require the use of body doubles, and many nude shots are performed by the actors themselves. Occasionally, there are some plots with larger scales, which were once suspected by outsiders as being real. Actresses may still have concerns about exposing their nipples, but it is common for male actors to be shirtless, and exposing their backs is not a big deal.
This new plot added by Director Gu is most likely going to be filmed, it just depends on how it is filmed. The heroine might still find a substitute, but Jing Ling can forget about it.
"What do you think? Do you want to consider it?" Director Gu looked at Yun Shu and asked again.
This time, Yunshu did not refuse at the first time, but he did not agree either. She sat there quietly, with her head slightly lowered, as if she was thinking.
"It's very late now. Let's talk about it tomorrow. There's no rush anyway." Jing Ling said. Originally, he shouldn't have interfered with Yunshu's decision, but the situation is different now.
Director Gu didn't want an answer right away, and Yun Shu's reaction made him feel that he might have spoken too harshly, and he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
"No hurry, no hurry. Let's talk about it tomorrow. It's getting late. You should go to bed early!" After Director Gu said this, he took Li Yu and ran away, as if something was chasing him from behind. His speed was so fast that it was not possible for someone of his age.
"Um... I seem to be feeling a little uncomfortable. I'll go back first. You guys come later." Chen Ze was stunned for a moment, then consciously found an excuse to leave, not acting like a super light bulb, leaving Jing Ling and Yun Shu where they were.
After a moment of silence, Jing Ling spoke first, "The peach blossoms over there are in full bloom, do you want to go and see them?"
Yunshu nodded, "Yeah."
The scenery in Shanshui Villa is very beautiful. There are lantern-shaped street lamps hanging on both sides of the bluestone paved road. The light shines through the lanterns. The light is not too bright, but not too dark. It is just the right level, enough to see the surrounding scenery clearly, yet has a hazy beauty.
The two of them were originally walking on the path, one in front and the other slightly behind, with Jing Ling in front and Yun Shu following behind, remaining silent the entire time. After walking for half the distance, they arrived at the water corridor.
There are also lanterns hanging on both sides of the eaves. The red glow and the bright moonlight interweave to form an intoxicating picture. The night wind came from afar with a hint of unknown fragrance, and left silently. Only the slightly swaying grass leaves and trees proved that it had been there.
Yunshu walked forward with his head down and didn't notice that Jing Ling in front of him stopped, so he fell into his arms. The young man's slender and powerful arms closed around her and held her in his arms.
"If you don't like it, I won't act." Jing Ling rested his chin on the top of her head. He could feel the soft touch of her hair and a faint fragrance filled his nose.
Yunshu reached out to hug him back, his hands passing through his waist and clasping behind his back. She tilted her head slightly with her ear against his chest. At such a close distance, she could clearly hear his heartbeat, steady and powerful.
"I don't like acting." Yun Shu spoke after a long while, "I don't want to see you acting intimate scenes with others. Why should I let others take advantage of my body when I haven't even touched it myself!"
When Jing Ling heard the latter part, he couldn't help but chuckle.
Yunshu loosened his hand and pinched his waist, "What are you laughing at?!"
"Hiss—I was wrong." He quickly admitted his mistake.
When Director Gu woke up the next morning, he wanted to ask Yunshu how she was thinking about it, but thinking of her reaction yesterday, he held it in until noon, and then asked cautiously, "How are you thinking about it?"
Yesterday, because the news came too suddenly, she couldn't help but find it hard to accept it. But after she talked it out with Jing Ling, it was nothing. Hearing Director Gu's words, she shook her head, "Sorry, Director Gu."
The last big move has been made, but he still can't get what he wanted. Director Gu sighed, "These days, you can't even be lazy!" The reason why he wanted Yunshu to play the role was not only because her appearance fit the heroine, but also because she and Jing Ling were real lovers. This situation is almost equivalent to letting a person play a role in his or her true colors, without deliberately imitating or acting, and it can still have a good effect.
The interaction between boyfriends and girlfriends who are truly in love gives people a sweet and natural feeling, which can easily drive the audience's emotions, making them feel happy for their beautiful love, sad for their tragic ending, and distressed by the twists and turns in between.
Although he didn't know how good Yunshu's acting skills were, there were more things to consider when looking for a newcomer. Compared to before, choosing Yunshu makes him feel a little more relaxed, and it's okay to say that he's lazy.
However, Yunshu had already refused several times, so he had no choice but to give up.
Director Gu returned to his room to revise the script with a slight sense of disappointment.
Since Jing Ling had nothing to do for the time being, he planned to take Yun Shu to play in Tongcheng for two days. He said goodbye to Li Yu and thanked her for her hospitality. But when he left, he left Shen Ze behind as a liaison. If there was anything, he could tell him directly, and if he couldn't decide, he could pass it on to Jing Ling.
When Jing Ling and Yun Shu left, Chen Ze stood at the door and watched expressionlessly as the black Barrett drove smoothly away from the courtyard and finally disappeared from sight. He snorted coldly, "There is the opposite sex but no humanity! It's like no one wants to be a light bulb like you!"
The driver took the two of them to a less crowded area in the city. After thanking them, Jing Ling got off the car with Yun Shu. There happened to be a park nearby, so they found a remote corner where no one was around. Jing Ling then took out his equipment from his travel backpack, including the wig, mask, and cosmetics for modifying the details. It took less than half an hour to complete the disguise.
It was a completely unfamiliar face, somewhat handsome, but without any distinctive features, and it would be easy to forget it after just one glance. He originally wanted to just make a face of an ordinary passerby, but with a beauty like Yunshu by his side, it would be more conspicuous, so he simply changed it. It can't be said that they are a perfect match, but they are barely a good match.
As for the figure, you don't have to worry about it. Even if someone thinks you look familiar, but they get closer and find that the face doesn't match, they will be disappointed at most and won't think about anything else.
After disguising himself, he no longer had to worry about his identity and could hang out with Yunshu freely. I visited two tourist attractions in one afternoon and walked through a food street.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was evening. The street lights along the street lit up one after another, and the warm yellow lights intertwined with the twilight. It's past the rush hour, but the traffic on the road has not decreased.
Jing Ling was walking on the sidewalk holding Yun Shu's hand, with the other hand holding an oversized doll, which, needless to say, was won from the scam game. Handsome men, beautiful women and oversized dolls attracted a lot of attention along the way.
At that time, Yunshu was standing by and watching him challenge. Somehow a funny idea popped up in her mind. After Jing Ling successfully won the game and took the prize from the sad-faced stall owner, she motioned Jing Ling to bend down. The latter did not ask why and did as he was told. She leaned close to his ear and smiled, "I think if one day you stop acting and don't do other jobs, you can open a doll shop to support yourself just by playing games like this."
"Then when these stall owners see me, they will treat me like a plague god. Maybe in the future, no one will dare to set up stalls around me." Jing Ling smiled, "Have I ever told you that I have good luck? Although I haven't tried it, I think it's not difficult to get rich by buying lottery tickets."
Yunshu thought about it seriously, then shook his head, "No." After a pause, he added, "I don't believe it." Luck is an illusory thing. There are many lucky people in life, but there are very few who can make a fortune by winning the lottery.
There is a bus stop not far from the tourist attraction. There is a stall selling scratch-off lottery tickets next to it. People who don’t have change will buy one to exchange for change. If they are lucky, they can even earn money for the bus fare.
Jing Ling pulled Yun Shu to the stall, took out a ten-yuan note and handed it over, "One."
The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his thirties. When he saw Yun Shu, Yun Shu was stunned for a moment. Then he took the money, picked up a scratch lottery ticket and handed it over together with the change of eight yuan.
"Guess what the result is?" Jing Ling asked.
"Thank you for your patronage." Seeing the stall owner casually taking out a lottery ticket from a box, Yun Shu really didn't hold out much hope, "Maybe it's only five dollars at most."
Jing Ling casually scraped off the silver-gray layer, and saw a number 1 in the blank area instead of text, which meant he had won the prize.
"Ten dollars..." Yun Shu was about to say, but before he finished his words, he saw the remaining layer being scratched off, and there were three zeros after the number instead of one.
If you win five dollars from this kind of scratch-off lottery at a roadside stall, you’re lucky. The probability of winning a thousand dollars is not too low!
Yun Shu was extremely surprised. He stared at Jing Ling for a long time before he exclaimed, "My luck is so good!"
"Why would I lie to you?" Jing Ling said with a smile, handing the lottery ticket to the stall owner, "Please exchange it for me, thank you."
The latter stared at the lottery ticket for a long time, and although it hurt a little, he still exchanged it for one thousand yuan. After that, they started shouting loudly, "Take a look, take a look, two dollars can't buy you anything bad nor can you get cheated..." People always like to take part in the good times, and when they heard that someone had just won the prize, they all gathered around.
Jing Ling took Yun Shu away one step ahead of time to avoid the crowded crowd.
Jing Ling did not keep the last thousand yuan, but donated it online. For others, winning the lottery may be considered an unexpected surprise, but for him it is just cheating. He is not short of money, he was just doing an experiment just now.
The two walked on the road like an ordinary couple, from dusk to nightfall. Looking around, there were bright lights.
The end point of this walk is the best hotel in Tongcheng.
Jing Ling's disguise was perfect enough, but it also brought a problem, that is, his face did not match his ID card. If it is a small place, it is okay to only register one person's ID card when checking in a hotel, but it is not possible in slightly larger cities. But this is not absolute. There is a saying in the world that money makes the world go round. The hotel's top suite costs 48,000 per night, which adds up to nearly 150,000 for three days. In this case, the other party will not bother with you about the ID card.
Yunshu originally wanted to take her ID card, but Jingling told her that it was not necessary. The two entered the lobby and came to the front desk. Jing Ling handed over an ID card and a credit card, "Golden Roof Suite, three days, thank you."
Yunshu had sharp eyes and saw that the name on the ID card was Lin Feng!
The receptionist was stunned when she heard this. After all, although these two people have outstanding looks, what they are wearing looks very ordinary. I didn’t expect that they would ask for the top-level suite as soon as they opened their mouths. But she quickly came to her senses, "Okay, please wait a moment!" She responded, took her ID card and credit card and prepared to register, but was stunned again when she saw the ID card.
The person in the photo and the person standing in front of her were obviously two different people.
She glanced at Jing Ling again, but didn't ask any further questions. She just said, "Please wait a moment. I need to consult our manager."
Jing Ling nodded.
Soon the manager came and after checking the ID card and credit card in the front desk, he personally handled the check-in. In less than five minutes, the room card was handed to Jing Ling, and then she personally took him to the 32nd floor.
The top suites are equipped with personal butler service, all of whom are beautiful women with slender figures and pretty faces.
However, Jing Ling refused, used the card to open the door, and closed the door after entering.
Yunshu wanted to ask Jing Ling what was going on with the ID card, but in the end he didn't say anything. Everyone has their own secrets, and if they can be told, Jing Ling will naturally tell her.
"I'm going to take a shower." She whispered.
"Um."
After a while, there was a slight sound of water coming from the bathroom.
Jing Ling stood on the balcony and looked out through the transparent glass wall. All he saw was a magnificent scene of brilliant lights.
"Bang——" Suddenly, there was a sound in the bathroom. It was the sound of something breaking, and a scream sounded almost at the same time.
Almost at the moment he heard the sound, Jing Ling's body moved, leaving the balcony and quickly running towards the bathroom, his speed almost exceeded the limit of the human body. The bathroom door was not locked and opened easily from the outside.
Nothing unexpected happened, except that Yunshu accidentally broke a quilt and the pieces fell all over the floor. She was wrapped in a bath towel, her long hair loose, and she bent down slightly, obviously preparing to pick it up.
"Yunshu, let me do it." Jing Ling called her name, then walked over, squatted down, picked up the fragments, and threw them into the trash can next to her. Soon, all the large pieces of debris were picked up.
He was about to get up when he suddenly felt a graceful body pressing against his back, and a pair of hands reached out from behind and wrapped around his neck.
"Jing Ling, you are mine." A slightly shy voice sounded in my ears. A pair of slender and soft hands reached into his collar, and the other hand was not idle either, unbuttoning his clothes a little clumsily.
The unfamiliar movements, wherever the palm passed, seemed to create flames out of thin air, bringing a burning touch.
A kiss landed on the back of the neck, the touch was soft and slightly moist, and it left immediately. But it is not the end, but just the beginning.
Then, a series of kisses fell, kissing almost every inch of skin on the back of the neck, and then gradually moved forward, kissing the side of the neck, and finally falling on the earlobe.
"You are mine!" the hoarse voice repeated again, "I can't let others take advantage of you first!"
