Chapter 32 You’re right, take it if you have it…
-
Coming out of the lounge, Gu Cheng headed towards the private room. When the door opened, everyone inside hadn't eaten yet and was sitting quietly. The production manager stood up, looked at Gu Cheng, and said with a dry laugh, "Mr. Gu..."
He looked back and didn't see Wen Chu.
Jiang Ran also stood up, staring at Gu Cheng with disapproval. Gu Cheng walked in and came to the table. In silence, he picked up a bottle of wine and slowly poured it into a glass.
He said: "Wen Chu and I were lovers."
Everyone at the scene was in an uproar. After the wine was poured, he picked it up and looked at everyone in front of him. "As you can see, I was unwilling to part with you, so I followed you all the way from Beijing City to here."
"In the past, Wenchu's work was simple, not too involved with male actors. I didn't know Director Tang's habits well enough to know the preparation required to get into the role. I'm sorry, I got jealous and caused this scene, and I'm sorry to have embarrassed everyone."
He tilted his head back and drank it.
"Hey, Mr. Gu..." The production director didn't dare to let him drink alone, so he immediately picked up the glass, and the other few people who were smart enough followed suit and drank.
Gu Cheng picked up the decanter and slowly poured the second glass.
He picked it up and said, "It wasn't easy for Wen Chu to get this role. She cherishes her first drama. She has a gentle personality and is a simple person. Please take good care of her in the future."
Several actresses were stunned.
Production Director: "Yes, Mr. Gu, don't worry."
After finishing the second cup, Gu Cheng slowly poured the third. He raised his eyes and said, "Wen Chu was able to play Mingyue Wan'er not because of my investment, but because of her own ability. I invested in Fengyue Wan because of her."
"I will continue to invest in Feng Yue Wan for a long time until the show is finished."
The production director's eyes lit up, and he quickly picked up his glass: "Thank you, Mr. Gu, thank you, Mr. Gu."
Seeing this, the others stood up and raised their glasses, including Jiang Ran. Gu Cheng drank the last glass, put the glass on the table and said gently, "You guys continue to eat, I won't disturb you."
Secretary Li stepped forward to take his coat and Wen Chu's small bag. Gu Cheng turned and walked out. The production director quickly followed and said with a smile, "Boss Gu, I'll take you there."
"Damn, so Xingyao... is under Gu's company." Several actresses gathered together and whispered.
"There are indeed a lot of gossips about Xingyao recently."
Director Tang pressed Jiang Ran's shoulder: "Don't feel pressured."
Jiang Ran smiled gently: "No."
A few people came over and said, "We're just trying to show you our power."
Jiang Ran played with his phone, smiled, and didn't respond.

After the food cart was pushed into the room, Wen Chu didn't eat immediately. Zhu Ru put the soup down for her. Wen Chu picked up her phone and clicked on the editing function in the crew.
Wen Chu: I’m sorry about what happened tonight.
Li Qing was the first to reply: Why are you embarrassed? It’s not your fault.
Yu Mo: Yes, it’s not your fault.
Yu Mo: Mr. Gu also told us, Wen Chu, you and Mr. Gu were ex-boyfriend and girlfriend, why didn't you tell us in advance? If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have provoked him.
Wen Chu paused: He went to explain?
Li Qing: Yes, he apologized to us and said that he took you away because he was jealous and unwilling to give up.
Wen Chu looked at the message for a few seconds.
She had wanted to explain her relationship with Gu Cheng to everyone in the group to avoid random speculations from everyone on the crew, but she didn't expect that he had already explained it in advance.
Wen Chu replied: No matter what, I am still very sorry for affecting everyone's dinner.
Director of Production: No, no, you should have a good rest. We will start shooting tomorrow, so be in good condition.
Liqing: Yes, are you hungry? We'll pack something for you to take home.
Jiang Ran said: How about I bring you some dessert?
Wen Chu politely declined, saying she was already eating. She put down her phone. Zhu Ru looked at her and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Wen Chu shook her head and picked up the soup to drink.
Zhu Ru glanced at her phone and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Gu to go back and explain to the crew, but this is what he should do. Tomorrow you can just focus on your work and don't worry about anything else."
Wen Chu agreed.
Sometimes she actually hated Gu Cheng's gentleness, which prevented her from hating him completely. Last year, she had her period and happened to have a fever. She was dying. Gu Cheng rushed back from the company and took her to the hospital. She also had a stomachache. Gu Cheng hugged her and rubbed her stomach all night.
She was very weak, and the scent of agarwood on him made her feel at ease. While she was drifting off to sleep, her mother sent her a message saying that she had to go for a follow-up check the next day and she was a little nervous.
Gu Cheng took her cell phone and used her tone to comfort her mother and let her relax.
He also transferred some money to her, which was then transferred from her to her mother.
Said not to worry about money.
The next day at noon, she picked up her phone and saw that he had done so many things in the middle of the night. She burst into tears.
"There's rice. Do you want to eat?" Zhu Ru saw that she had almost finished her soup and handed her the rice. Wen Chu came back to her senses and looked at the rice and said, "You eat it. I'm not hungry."
Zhu Ru pushed another bowl of stew towards her: "Then you drink this."
Wen Chu agreed.
At this moment, the door opened. Zhu Ru put down her chopsticks and stood up to open the door. Secretary Li was outside. Zhu Ru's eyebrows jumped. She blocked the door with her whole body and asked, "What's going on?"
Secretary Li saw her looking around and said, "No need to look, it's just me. You can give these two to Miss Wen. We will return to Beijing tomorrow."
Zhu Ru took a look and saw that it was Wen Chu's small bag. She took it.
The other is a document.
She asked, "What is it?"
Secretary Li smiled and said, "You'll know when you see it. It's already been discussed. You can decide whether to go or not."
Secretary Li finished speaking, nodded politely, and then left. Zhu Ru hung Wen Chu's small bag on her wrist, opened the document, and was stunned when she saw the title.
She closed the door and went back inside.
Wen Chu had already heard Secretary Li's voice. Seeing Zhu Ru blocking the door, she knew she wouldn't let them in. She raised her eyes and asked, "What?"
"Your small bag." Zhu Ru placed it beside Wen Chu, then sat down and showed the document to Wen Chu. Wen Chu saw the words "Perseverance Day" written on it, which was the variety show Zhu Ru had mentioned before. She frowned, and Zhu Ru handed the contract to her: "I contacted the person in charge of this variety show, but he ignored me. As a result, Mr. Gu got the contract directly and even negotiated the appearance fee."
Wen Chu did not accept the contract.
Zhu Ru turned to look at her: "What do you say? Do you accept his help?"
Wen Chu looked at Zhu Ru and asked softly, "What do you think?"
Zhu Ru shrugged and said, "If it were me, I would definitely accept it. No matter how he made you sad before, it's nothing compared to your career. An actress's youth is very short. If I hesitate for a second, I will be sorry for my efforts."
Wen Chu asked back: "What if he has conditions?"
"Then wait for him to propose. He hasn't proposed yet, but he already has the resources, so let's take it." Zhu Ru said, "You can also refuse and wait for me to negotiate. But if I negotiate, I don't know when. To be honest, Qi Meng has been very lazy over the years. It's really disadvantageous for you to sign us."
Wen Chu looked at the contract again. After a few seconds, she took it and said, "You're right. Take it if you have it."
She knew in her heart why Gu Cheng did this. Regardless of whether he loved her or not, he must have felt guilty.
Zhu Ru raised her eyebrows.
"Then sign it. I'll contact the person in charge later."
"good."
After signing and eating, Wen Chu cleaned up and went to rest. The next day, he officially joined the crew. The weather happened to be cool, and he did the first few scenes.
This is when the story is at its most tense.
The prince is away, the emperor has passed away, and it is his fourth brother who stands guard in front of the emperor. The situation is changing rapidly. Mingyue Wan'er, played by Wen Chu, is also worried about the situation. She rides on horseback at night to pick up the prince before the city is closed.
Director Tang didn't know at first whether Wen Chu could ride a horse, so he hired a horse riding teacher to let her learn for a few days. Later, when he found out that she could, he didn't have to worry anymore.
When Wen Chu was replacing Qi Yuan before, there were naturally scenes of her riding a horse. Later, when she occasionally took a vacation, Gu Cheng would take her to the horse farm to practice. Not only did she know how to ride a horse, she was also very skilled.
So this scene was very cool and it was done almost in one take.
And there was no need to cover this face, the expression was captured by the camera. Director Tang was behind the camera, patting his thigh and saying, "Good!"
He was also excited.
There are very few actresses who satisfy him so much. He was glad that he waited a little longer. The female knight's final sword dance was exactly the feeling he wanted, and it was right to ask Wen Chu to play the role.
Several actresses in Liqing looked at her and said, "This isn't just a stand-in, this is a real pearl."
She played with her hair: "I have to admire it."
Jiang Ran looked at Wen Chu without coming back to his senses.
He knew she should be a good actress, but he didn't expect her to be so good, which made him feel pressured.
-
at the same time.
The crew of "Qing Ping Chuan" was in a state of disarray. Qi Yuan's back injury hadn't healed, and some high-ranking officials were refusing to let her continue. They had no choice but to look for a replacement, but finding one wasn't easy at the moment. Shu Mei had searched several schools but couldn't find one, and even posted a recruitment notice on her fan page. Meanwhile, the production of "Qing Ping Chuan" was experiencing increasingly severe outages.
Qi Yuan was covered in sweat after filming a scene.
Her face was grim as she came out and asked, "How can we take photos if the power keeps going out?"
The assistant stepped forward to fan her. The director wiped his sweat and stood up and said, "Teacher Qi, I'm sorry. This film and television studio has been like this recently. We are under a lot of pressure."
"If there's no electricity, we'll just develop a generator." Qi Yuan pointed to the situation outside. The director said helplessly, "It's very expensive to run too many generators. Besides, our crew's financial situation in the later stages hasn't been very good lately."
"What do you mean? Where are the investors? Where did they go?" Qi Yuan asked impatiently. The director said dryly, "Didn't Feng Yue Wan start filming recently? Many investors went there... And I heard that Gu's invested a large sum of money and plans to invest until the TV series airs."
"What?" Qi Yuan's voice was sharp.
The director looked at Qi Yuan and said, "Teacher Qi, how about having the Qi Group invest some as well?"
Qi Yuan pushed the fan in her assistant's hand away and said, "Qi's, Qi's invested last time. Director, are you saying that Gu's invested in Feng Yuewan?"
"yes."
Qi Yuan narrowed her eyes slightly, furious.
Gu's company never touches the entertainment industry, not even Star Glory. They haven't invested in this field in recent years. What's going on now? At this moment, Shu Mei came back from outside with a cup of coffee and said, "It's so hot. Did the crew lose power again?"
She handed the coffee to Qi Yuan and saw that Qi Yuan looked unhappy: "What's wrong?"
Qi Yuan didn't say anything. She took the coffee and took a sip. Her hands were shaking slightly, indicating her anxiety. Shu Mei saw this and patted her shoulder. "If it's too hot, take a rest. There are only a few shows left anyway. You have an interview later. Go change your clothes."
Qi Yuan turned around and went back to the lounge.
She had never been like this before when Wen Chu was around, and her hatred for Wen Chu deepened when she thought of this.
She changed her clothes.
She went out, got on the nanny car, took a shower in the villa, put on makeup directly in the villa, and then rushed to the live broadcast site. As soon as she walked in, the screams of fans were about to overturn the sky. Qi Yuan finally smiled on her face. She was wearing a suspender long dress, showing off her figure. She covered her chest and entered the live broadcast room.
The host immediately handed the microphone to her and respectfully asked her to sit down.
Qi Yuan smiled slightly.
Fans are flooding the screen with messages like crazy.
The host glanced at the manuscript in his hand and said with a smile: "Teacher Qi, welcome to the big shot live broadcast room. You are the biggest star we have invited recently."
Qi Yuan adjusted her glasses and smiled, "Really? It's an honor."
The host nodded and said, "Of course, you deserve it."
Qi Yuan smiled brightly.
The host glanced at the script again and said, "Look, recently, regarding your recent turmoil, our celebrities are very curious. I believe your fans are also curious about how the departure of the stunt double Wen Chu has troubled you."
When Qi Yuan heard the name Wen Chu, her expression changed slightly. She glanced at Shu Mei who was not far away. Shu Mei had no idea why she suddenly asked about Wen Chu.
She turned around to look for someone, but no one paid any attention to her.
Of course, some people saw Qi Yuan's expression change, but she quickly returned to normal. She brushed off the dust on her legs and said, "It's not a big deal. Every actor has a stand-in. I believe everyone has more than one. But I'm just unlucky to have met such a treacherous villain."
"Yes, this is the first time a stuntman has stepped forward to perform on screen. It's spread all over the industry," the host said with emotion. He looked at Qi Yuan and said, "Teacher Qi, can you tell us what Wen Chu did for you back then? I heard there are many types of stuntmen, including light doubles, hand doubles... martial arts doubles, and so on."
Qi Yuan bit her teeth lightly, looked at the camera with a smile and said, "She didn't do anything, it's not worth mentioning."
"Oh, I see. Looks like he's a nobody."
Qi Yuan said yes.
Her fans were flooding the screen with messages like crazy.
"Such villains should be boycotted."
"Yuanyuan, don't be sad."
"I don't know what Feng Yue Wan saw in her and why he chose her to play Ming Yue Wan'er."
"That is, what can she play?"
"I guess it depends on Xingyao to spend money."
"Haha, that bootlicker from Xingyao is probably going to pay Tangren Productions to give her the role. We can just wait and see her make a fool of herself."
#That's right, what can she play# This sentence has been brought up again after the live interview with the big name ended. Many people also intercepted the video of Qi Yuanyun saying calmly that Wen Chu "She, actually didn't replace anything, it's not worth mentioning" and spread it everywhere. Some people even sent malicious messages to Tangren Productions' Weibo private messages.
Wen Chu walked out from under the camera.
Zhu Ru wiped her sweat, handed her some rock sugar and snow pear syrup, and said, "Qi Yuan is causing trouble again."
Wen Chu held the thermos cup: "What is she doing?"
"Look." Zhu Ru handed the phone to Wen Chu. Wen Chu opened it and browsed through it. He found that she had a lot of private messages, all of which were from Qi Yuan's fans who came to scold her.
She frowned, "Nothing for nothing? What do you mean nothing for nothing?"
Zhu Ru said, "Don't worry, the company is already editing it."
