Chapter 7 They Are Very Similar
At this moment, Shu Mei's other phone rang. She picked it up, and the next second her expression brightened, a smile playing on her lips. "Director Tang, hey...you want to see our Qi Yuan?"
"Whenever she has time, she's mainly working on 'The Legend of Qingping' lately. Yes, she hasn't taken on any other work. She'll finish filming first. Haha, thank you so much, Director."
"Yes, our Qi Yuan is very dedicated."
"Okay, okay, see you in an hour then."
After hanging up the phone, Shu Mei said to the assistant beside her, "Have someone drive the car over here."
Then he said to the makeup artist, "Come here and help Qi Yuan fix it."
Qi Yuan had already heard the call. She asked, "Is Director Tang in Beijing?"
"Yes, it's rare that he is here. This means that you and I are destined to be together. If we can meet, there's no need to wait." Shu Mei smoothed Qi Yuan's hair.
An hour later, Qi Yuan and Shu Mei walked into the Mingshan Club. The director was watching the sword dance video on his tablet. He smiled and said, "Have a seat."
Shu Mei heard the familiar melody and looked over: "What is Director Tang looking at?"
Director Tang paused the video with a smile, looking at Qi Yuan with admiration, and said, "I'm still watching that video of the female knight dancing with a sword. Who knows how many times I've watched it these past few days just to find inspiration?"
Shu Mei glanced at the figure that had stopped on the tablet. It was Wen Chu. She gave him a complimenting smile, "I've heard that Director Tang always meticulously crafts his work. It's true."
Director Tang waved his hand and smiled, "When filming, you have to be responsible for your work. I choose actors based on suitability, not popularity."
He looked at Qi Yuan and said, "I heard that Teacher Qi had a back injury, but I really admire you for being able to perform such a difficult move despite the injury."
Qi Yuan smiled at Director Tang.
Director Tang picked up the tablet, showed it to Qi Yuan and the others, and said, "This sword dance scene reminds me of so many things. I wanted to make a knight-errant story a long time ago, but there haven't been any good works about knights in the martial arts world in recent years. It was the female knights who broke the mold. I really like Qi Yuan's performance. I like it very much."
“Being able to perform sword dancing with such a grand feeling is what I wanted in my heart.”
Qi Yuan looked at the figure on the tablet. The figure was holding a sword. As the sword was lowered, the sleeves were also lowered, half-covering the hand holding the sword.
That's Wen Chu's.
Director Tang was now holding Wen Chu's video and praising her profusely. Qi Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, recalling the day when Wen Chu had filmed that segment for her and received a standing ovation.
Qi Yuan gritted her teeth slightly and smiled calmly, "Director Tang, I'm glad you like it. I didn't expect to have such a reward. I'm really lucky."
"Hey, it's not luck, it's strength." Director Tang praised, "You really acted well."
Qi Yuan smiled and nodded.
Shu Mei saw that Qi Yuan was unhappy and quickly changed the subject.

It was past one in the morning when Gu Cheng returned home. He quietly pushed open the master bedroom door. The room was quiet, with only the sounds of the air conditioner and humidifier, and a faint scent of bath water wafting through the air. Wen Chu was fast asleep in bed, her hair soft and spread across the pillow.
Gu Cheng unbuttoned his shirt, ruffling her hair with his large hands before heading to the bathroom. Wen Chu was awakened by his movement. She groggily opened her eyes and saw his back as he took off his shirt. In the light and shadow outside the bathroom door, his broad shoulders and narrow waist gave him a somewhat wild look. Wen Chu watched him push the door open and enter the bathroom.
She felt sleepy and closed her eyes in confusion.
After an unknown amount of time, the bed moved. Gu Cheng came out of the shower and put his arm around her waist. Wen Chu had never slept deeply, and when he put his arm around her, she woke up again. For some reason, she buried her face in the pillow, and this movement made her break away from his embrace. Gu Cheng noticed it, grabbed her waist and pulled her back, "Did I wake you?"
Wen Chu pressed his eyes and didn't answer him.
The scent of the bath water between the two of them entwined with each other. Gu Cheng's palm was warm, and he kissed her hair, "You are awake, I know."
Wen Chu still pretended to be asleep.
Gu Cheng propped himself up, buried his head in her neck, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Why don't you touch my forehead to see if I have a fever?"
Wen Chu then remembered that he had not recovered from his cold yet.
She stirred, looking back at him. Gu Cheng's eyes held tenderness, a smile etched in the dim light. Wen Chu stared at him for a few seconds, her palm resting on his forehead. Her voice, a little hoarse, asked, "Why are you so late tonight?"
Gu Cheng kissed her between the eyebrows: "Zhou Yang has come to Beijing City, and we are gathering here to discuss business."
Wen Chu remembered that Gu’s UAV was cooperating with the Zhou family in Licheng, and the young master of the Zhou family was working in the military industry, and they were all working together.
She hummed.
Turning around and returning to the same position just now, Gu Cheng held her in his arms.
The air was filled with fragrance, and steam from the humidifier was rising. The two were about to fall asleep when Wen Chu's phone, which was placed on the bedside table, suddenly rang. Gu Cheng was very sleepy, and he frowned slightly. Wen Chu took the phone and answered it.
The person on the other end of the call was Shu Mei.
She said, "Wen Chu, come to the set. Qi Yuan is filming a night scene tonight and needs you for several scenes."
Wen Chu's sleepiness faded a little. She took out her phone and checked it. It was Shu Mei. She was a little bit incredulous. She asked, "Isn't Qi Yuan's night scene scheduled for tomorrow? Why did you suddenly change the time?"
Shu Mei raised an eyebrow and said, "The time was changed because of a temporary transfer. Qi Yuan has a few commercials to shoot next, so the time was changed. But do I need to explain so much to you? Just come when I call you."
Wen Chu pursed his lips and held his phone tightly.
At this moment, a low, hoarse voice came from behind Wen Chu, with a strong hint of sleepiness: "Tell her. No."
This voice also entered the microphone. Shu Mei heard it on the other end and raised her eyebrows slightly. She did not respond to Gu Shao's words, but said to Wen Chu: "You know best what Qi Yuan's current situation is. When we signed the contract, we hoped that you could help her solve her problems."
——You know best what Qi Yuan’s current situation is.
Qi Yuan's anxiety attacks, which recurred at the time, had often manifested in somatizations, something Wen Chu had witnessed. She remained silent for a few seconds before hanging up the phone. A few seconds later, she pulled herself up and tried to get out of bed.
Gu Cheng's sleepiness had also faded a lot. He opened his eyes, sat up, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "I'll take you there."
Wen Chu looked back at him and said, "I can go by myself."
Gu Cheng leaned against the headboard, and was woken up in the middle of his sleep. He was a little irritable, and there was a hint of anger on his body: "It's okay, I'll take you there, go change your clothes."
"good."
Wen Chu responded.
She changed her clothes, and Gu Cheng also changed his clothes, fortunately it was summer. The Porsche drove out, and Gu Cheng ordered a cup of coffee for Wen Chu, who drank it from the palm of her hand.
Arriving at another film and television city, lights were on everywhere. There was no night here, and the night was like an angel of the day. Wen Chu walked into the set carrying a cup of coffee.
Gu Cheng also followed. Wen Chu noticed and looked back at him, "Why don't you go back to rest?"
Gu Cheng held her wrist, lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, and said, "I'll stay with you. When we're done, we'll go home and catch up on some sleep."
Wen Chu saw that there was still sleepiness between his eyebrows, so she wiped his eyebrows with her fingertips and said, "Go back to sleep. We don't know when we'll finish filming."
"I can't sleep without you." Gu Cheng took her hand and walked towards the set. When Wen Chu heard this, she paused and followed his pace.
The makeup artist was waiting for Wen Chu. When she saw Wen Chu coming, she immediately pulled her into the dressing room and quietly glanced at the man following behind Wen Chu. Gu Cheng entered the dressing room and sat down on the sofa, leaning against the back of the chair, holding Wen Chu's coffee in his fingers. Wen Chu entered the dressing room and the makeup artist helped her put on her clothes. She helped her tighten her belt and whispered, "Mr. Gu, will you accompany you tonight for the night scene?"
Wen Chu smoothed his collar and said, "Well, he can't sleep."
The makeup artist blinked and said with some envy, "That's great."
After going out, she hurried to put on makeup. A makeup process is not short, not to mention that Wen Chu was called back at the last minute, and everyone was waiting outside. The makeup artist sped up and soon a look was on her face. Tonight's costume is pink and it looks very beautiful with the makeup. Gu Cheng looked up and saw Wen Chu's appearance in the mirror. He couldn't move his eyes away for a while.
Wen Chu walked out of the dressing room, holding up her skirt.
Gu Cheng walked behind her, yawning and covering his mouth. A scene was being filmed on the set. Qi Yuan was filming. She was wearing the same pink costume as Wen Chu. She was standing by the artificial lake, folding her arms and acting with Jiang Ran.
When the assistant director saw Wen Chu, he felt like he had found a lifeline and quickly came forward to pull her. Gu Cheng sat down on Wen Chu's chair, holding a coffee cup in his hand, folding his arms, and leaning back, wanting to catch up on some sleep.
Everyone else saw him coming. Everyone knew Mr. Gu from Beijing. He always drove a luxury car when he came, so everyone stole a glance at him.
Shu Mei didn't expect that Mr. Gu would come. She remembered the low, hoarse and slightly aggressive voice on the phone. She still felt a little scared.
She smiled, walked towards Gu Cheng, came to his side, and said with a smile: "Why are you here, Mr. Gu?"
Gu Cheng opened his eyes and saw Shu Mei's smiling face. He was not unfamiliar with Shu Mei. After Qi Yuan signed with their company, Shu Mei often stayed with Sister Qi Yuan.
But the phone call tonight made him unhappy, and he said indifferently: "Well, come with Wen Chu."
Shu Mei smiled, pretending not to hear the hint in his words. She said, "Filming at night is very tiring. Qi Yuan took on a few commercials at the last minute, so her schedule is a bit tight. So she asked the director to swap her time with someone else and come over tonight to catch up on the shoot."
Gu Cheng didn't respond and looked towards the center of the set.
Wen Chu came to Qi Yuan's side, where the assistant director was explaining the scene. The artificial lake was shimmering, and the lights shone down on the people.
Two pink figures were extremely conspicuous.
Shu Mei followed his gaze, smiled, and said in a somewhat leisurely tone, "They look alike, don't they?"
Gu Cheng's fingers tightened around the coffee.
A few blue veins appeared on the back of his hand. He raised his eyelids and looked at Shu Mei with a cold light in his eyes.
