Gu Wan was interviewed more and more frequently in subsequent roadshows, and her popularity continued to rise.
Yu Dekun looked at the ever-increasing box office and his eyes were wrinkled with smile.
Just finished a roadshow.
Yu Dekun pulled Cen Chao backstage and said, "What's wrong with you? Your attitude towards Gu Wan has been problematic lately. The two of you are the hottest couple online right now. Remember to cooperate during the broadcast of the drama."
Gu Wan had just walked in and happened to hear these words.
Cen Chao had no intention of hyping up a relationship. He was a double-faced liar. "Director Yu, I'm acting in your drama to repay a favor, not to hype up a relationship."
Yu Dekun looked from Gu Wan to Cen Chao, feeling somewhat embarrassed. "Gu Wan, don't bother with your brother Cen Chao. He only grows older, not smarter."
Gu Wan had her hair tied in a high ponytail today, a white sweater, and a simple short skirt underneath. She nodded obediently, "It's okay. I don't want to hype up a couple. I have someone I like, and I don't want him to misunderstand."
For some reason, Cen Chao became even more angry when he heard this. He gave her a chance to be a couple with him, but she didn't cherish it. He snorted, gave Gu Wan a sarcastic look, and turned away.
Gu Wan smiled apologetically at Dekun.
As the movie became popular, some of Gu Wan's information was also dug out. Her background is simple and clean. Fans not only feel sorry for her sister, but also think she is very inspiring.
But as one person becomes famous, he will inevitably block the way of his peers, and some people will come to blacken him.
"It's so clean, I don't believe it."
"Maybe there's a financial backer behind this."
…
Yu Dekun is a person who insists on his own ideas. The bad reputation of the entertainment industry is due to people like him who are taking advantage of the situation. Then he smiled and told the reporter how he chose Gu Wan during the interview.
“On the street.”
"It was a very hot day. She was helping her grandmother, a sanitation worker, with her work. I fell in love with her right away. She was completely without makeup that day, and I knew she was the second female lead I was looking for."
"I just didn't expect Gu Wan to be so smart and have such a great talent for acting."
Gu Wan also officially opened her own social media account, and her fans instantly increased to 10 million. She was good-looking, came from a poor family, was a good student, and had good college entrance examination results. Everything was perfect. Looking at the online reviews, she was very satisfied. The original owner was also a little famous, but her college entrance examination results were not ideal. No one knew what happened online, but everyone said that she was blinded by the money in the entertainment industry and deserved to do poorly in the exam. The original owner was sad for a long time because of this.
Of course, there are also entertainment companies that have extended olive branches.
Gu Wan chose Lotte Studio among many contracts. It looked like it was just established, but she knew that the owner of this studio was Chu Le, who was a straightforward person. What's more, she and Yu Ranran were cousins and their relationship was not good.
Chu Le came in person to sign the contract for Gu Wan, and they met in a cafe.
Chu Lefeng came in a hurry, riding a motorcycle.
"You're even prettier than in the movies." As soon as she sat down, she praised Gu Wan sincerely.
Gu Wan smiled and nodded, "Thank you, you look good too."
Chu Le took out the contract and handed it to her. "It's a total of five years, 40% to 60% split, you get 60%."
Gu Wan read the contract and said, "Okay, that's it."
Chu Le felt that Gu Wan was too straightforward. "You don't have any other questions?"
Gu Wan took her own copy and said, "No, let me tell you about my situation. I have just finished filming a movie directed by Nan Jin."
Chu Le knew everything, she had investigated it, "Then you have to tell me if you have any black material?"
Gu Wan understood this kind of problem. "I have someone I like, but he's not in the country. I don't think there are any others. Everything has been dug up online."
The first time Chu Le saw Gu Wan, his impression of her was almost perfect. Before, he was only moved by her acting skills and of course her face. He didn't expect that her personality was so straightforward and honest.
"I'm your agent. I'll assign you an assistant later. Let's discuss the dramas you're currently accepting. You're the first artist in my studio."
Gu Wan shook her hand and said, "Thank you. Please take care of me in the future."
With the small success of her first movie, Gu Wan started to receive some small scripts, but she didn’t see any good ones, so she rejected them all. She usually went to school and spent time with her grandmother.
The school is for science and engineering, and Gu Wan is quite famous in the school, but she often keeps to herself and rarely interacts with others. She basically leaves after class.
This is her personality. She just does her mission and tries to minimize contact with people in this world.
There are never any secrets in the entertainment industry.
The news that Gu Wan signed a contract with Chu Le spread everywhere.
Cen Chao felt that he had indeed underestimated Gu Wan, as she had become directly involved with the Chu family so quickly.
Gu Wan picked up her phone and sent a message to Cen Zhan.
"I signed a contract with a studio, Cen Zhan, and we are all getting better slowly." She turned off her phone after sending the message, and only completed one-third of the task.
Gu Wan received a call from Chu Le just after class.
"There's a costume drama I sent to your phone. Take a look and see if it's suitable for you. There's also a slow-paced lifestyle variety show that invites you and Cen Chao. I think you can take it. The movie is still in theaters, and your other one is coming out soon, so you need to maintain your popularity."
Gu Wan listened and hummed, "Okay, I'll take the variety show first, and I'll take a look at this drama."
Chu Le knew that Gu Wan was a girl who knew what was going on.
Cen Chao saw Gu Wan smiling particularly warmly again, so he gave Chu Le some face.
The variety show is recorded and broadcasted, and the life-themed shows require working to get the food. The regular guests of the variety show include popular first-line actor Zhao Mingyuan, singer Wu Yue, and fencing champion Wang Zisheng, three grown men.
Cen Chao and Gu Wan are considered the most popular actors in the recent hit movies, so everyone gave them a warm welcome.
Then the director gave us a task, which required us to accurately say the names of fifteen kinds of green vegetables.
Zhao Mingyuan sighed immediately, "Director, try something new. You knew we couldn't recognize it, so you must have done it on purpose."
The director team had bad intentions and immediately arranged the vegetables.
Cen Chao saw that these vegetables looked very similar, but he had no choice.
Gu Wan has been very quiet since she came in. Everyone thought it was her first time on a variety show and she was a bit reserved.
The director team did it on purpose. Everyone knows Cen Chao. He is a rich second-generation. It is impossible for him to know Qingcai.
Everyone is bargaining with the director.
"Ten, maybe fifteen. It's really hard for your director team to find them."
"Yes, I can only recognize five or six."
Gu Wan stood at the edge and said, "Let me do it."
Suddenly everyone became quiet.
Gu Wan walked to the table, took a note, and quietly began to write the names of the vegetables, then placed them next to each other one by one. The font was clean and the lines were beautiful.
The director felt that it was all over, so he quickly stepped forward to stare at it.
After finishing her writing, Gu Wan considerately closed the cap and looked at the director obediently, "Is this okay?"
The director was choked for a moment. He had forgotten about Gu Wan. It seemed that her family conditions were not very good, but he did not take it to heart. After all, many people are packaged and what they show to the public is one thing, but they did not expect it might be true.
"Sure, sure."
Everyone else thanked Gu Wan with a smile.
Cen Chao glanced at her, and when he thought of the information on the Internet, an inexplicable emotion swirled in his heart.
The director team kept their promise and took out a fish, a portion of tofu, and noodles. The fifteen kinds of vegetables they identified also belonged to them.
Gu Wan went to the kitchen to do odd jobs quietly at noon. She did not avoid the camera, but she did not deliberately get in the way of the camera either. This balance had to be grasped skillfully, and she had to let others see her work.
The cook was the singer Wu Yue. His cooking was considered the best here. Looking at the fish, he muttered, "Gu Wan, don't blame me if this fish isn't tasty."
He shook his head after he said that.
Gu Wan looked at the fish that had been slaughtered and said, "Why don't I give it a try? I'm a pretty good cook."
Wu Yue's eyes lit up instantly, but when he thought about the fact that the girl was only ten years old, he wondered, "Will you think I'm bullying her?" He was a senior after all.
Gu Wan has already picked up the knife and started to process. A fish can be braised just right, and it doesn't need to be too complicated.
Braised fish, stir-fried vegetables, noodles with vegetables, and finally sprinkled with chopped green onions and drizzled with sesame oil.
Wu Yue didn't need to lose weight deliberately since he came here, because the food was terrible. Seeing that the girl spoke very little and had a cold and expressionless face, she seemed difficult to approach.
"You're pretty good."
Gu Wan just smiled.
Except for Gu Wan, everyone at the table was a man who could eat, so the dishes were finished quickly.
Gu Wan simply ate some noodles, she was not very hungry.
Cen Chao is quite picky about food, but today's meal is really delicious.
Gu Wan and Cen Chao stayed here for two days and one night, completed the recording, and left by car the next afternoon.
The remaining permanent guests sincerely stayed with Gu Wan.
When the show was about to air, Nan Jin also sent a message to Gu Wan, "You can repost the official Weibo now."
Gu Wan first reposted the official Weibo of the movie, and then the variety show.
She already has a group of fans, and there are people commenting below, praising her and so on.
The movie was broadcast first, and it didn’t get many screenings in theaters, but Gu Wan knew clearly what kind of movie it was, and it needed to ferment, so she waited a little longer.
The day after the movie was released, many film critics started posting on Weibo.
"Simply speaking, I went to the cinema to watch it because of the subject matter, but I was really drawn into the story. Although I didn't experience school violence, I was a bystander, just like the bystanders in the movie. If I could go back to that time, I would definitely be braver."
"To be honest, I went for Gu Wan. Her first role was completely different from this one. From a cold and beautiful femme fatale to a victim of school violence, I wanted to see how she would change. I now completely agree with Director Yu's words that she is talented, and I look forward to her giving me even more surprises."
…
There are more and more movie screenings.
Nan Jin cried and called Gu Wan for more than an hour, and she really succeeded.
Yu Dekun also sent a congratulatory WeChat message, saying that he believed she could win the prize.
Chu Le looked at the positive reviews online and the constant trending searches, and she felt like she had found a treasure.
Gu Wan also sent her a message agreeing to go into the costume drama. The role was a childhood sweetheart who lived in the male protagonist's memories. She would only have a few scenes, just a cameo appearance, and her main job was just to be beautiful.
Gu Wan is very busy, but she never misses any exam at school and her grades are always good.
So there was no objection in the school.
After the variety show was broadcast, everyone discovered another advantage of Gu Wan. She speaks little and has few expressions, but this makes many people like her. She does not fight or compete, and does things silently. There is a lack of such people nowadays.
Gu Wan's career has been going smoothly. She took out her phone and habitually sent a message to Cen Zhan, "Can you see me? Cen Zhan."
Cen Zhan was injured abroad. He knew it was the two people from the Cen family who did it. This is abroad, so if something really happens, it has nothing to do with them.
Yu Ranran took care of him in the hospital, "Are you still in pain?"
Cen Zhan didn't say anything, he knew he couldn't go on like this.
Yu Ranran pursed her lips and looked at him helplessly, "Have you seen what's happening back home? Gu Wan is doing very well. It seems like she should be living well with the five million given by Uncle Cen."
Cen Zhan looked up with a warning look in his eyes.
Yu Ranran spread out her hands. "Okay, if you don't let me say it, then she won't say it. I'm telling you, the domestic entertainment industry is very chaotic. Gu Wan has no foundation to develop so well. Do you really not doubt it at all?"
Cen Zhan turned on the computer, he wanted to go back early.
Gu Wan's two movies became a big hit in a row and she has become the most popular young actress now. After all, her acting skills are good and it is rare to see her not acting like a spoiled child.
However, she joined the crew again, and as a result, she met an acquaintance as soon as she joined the crew, Zhao Mingyuan. He was in his thirties and had a steady career. He was the male lead in this historical costume drama, and Gu Wan played his childhood sweetheart.
Zhao Mingyuan had a really good impression of Gu Wan.
"I really didn't expect that you were chosen in the end. I think you will definitely not disappoint the audience." He has watched both of Gu Wan's movies. She is a smart kid and can act.
Gu Wan quickly thanked him for the compliment and went to take the final photos. The male protagonist’s childhood sweetheart was stunningly beautiful when she was young.
The director thought about it for a long time, until Gu Wan's first drama came out, he immediately handed the role to her, thinking that she would not be willing to take this small role, but unexpectedly she agreed.
Gu Wan fixed her hair and went to put on her clothes. When she came out, the director felt that the script was not wrong and did not lie. She was really beautiful. This is how a heroine should be in her youth, clear and pure, with a hint of arrogance.
There were only a few scenes, so Gu Wan only filmed for two or three days.
As Gu Wan's agent, Chu Le has been looking for an assistant for her, but he needs to be cautious in choosing people, and so far he has not found a suitable one.
It’s almost the end of the year and various parties are about to begin.
Chu Le felt that since Gu Wan now had two blockbuster movies, she should be able to compete for the Best Newcomer award.
Gu Wan has saved some money recently. She plans to take her grandmother to choose a better community and buy a house after the New Year.
Chu Le called Gu Wan to order the dress she would wear to the party.
Gu Wan was reading the latest script. She knew very well that the path she had chosen was a good one because with Chu Le around, there wouldn't be any messy things to disturb her. She also had a very good reputation, but good scripts were hard to come by.
Yu Dekun called Gu Wan and said, "I have a friend's play here. Do you want to try it?"
Gu Wan trusted the director too much. Since he said so, the play must be good and reliable. "Okay, director, please send me the address information."
Yu Dekun was acting as a matchmaker for his good friend.
But when Gu Wan arrived, she saw Cen Chao. She smiled and walked over to greet everyone one by one, "Brother Cen Chao, long time no see."
Cen Chao just nodded, and then got a slap from Yu Dekun. He finally understood that this little girl did it on purpose, and now she could see that he was treating her badly.
Yu Dekun introduced the director to Gu Wan, "Wang Shu, he's my long-time friend. He has a crime drama coming up and wants to see if you have time."
Gu Wan knew Wang Shu. He was a forensic pathologist before he became a director and had filmed many hit crime dramas. Even Yu Ranran only got the resources to direct such a drama after she became a first-line actress in the later period of the novel.
"Hello, Director Wang."
Wang Shu also watched two of Gu Wan's movies, but he believed in the abilities of his two friends. Gu Wan should have been praised well, but he still felt that his friend's praise was too exaggerated.
"I need to audition."
Yu Dekun tutted his words when he heard his friend's words, "No need for auditions, I guarantee you, Gu Wan has almost never had any problems."
Gu Wan nodded, "Okay, do you want to start now?"
Wang Shu insisted, "Let's just do this part. Can Cen Chao come and help with the scene?"
Gu Wan briefly understood the background. It was a criminal investigation drama. She was a crime-solving genius in school, and she only wanted to investigate the murder case of her parents. Cen Chao was the captain of the criminal investigation team in the police station. The two of them went from being strangers to having unlimited tacit understanding. They solved one major case after another, and finally she got what she wanted.
Wang Shu looked at Gu Wan again and said, "This drama requires fighting skills. Can you do it?"
Gu Wan nodded, "I will."
The most difficult scene is when the heroine finally finds the murderer who is related to the hero's most respected master, and the two have an exciting confrontation.
Gu Wan got into the mood quickly, her lines were tense, her eyes were red, and her questions were powerful.
Cen Chao almost didn't catch the show.
Wang Shu called a stop when he got here, "Yu Dekun, you did a good thing too, being able to dig up Gu Wan."
Yu Dekun's eyes lit up instantly, "Get lost."
Cen Chao was still a little stunned. Gu Wan's emotional outburst was really too intense.
Wang Shu handed her the script and said, "Okay, have your agent come over to sign the contract when you have time. Also, you can practice fighting with Cen Chao. He has been learning it since he was a child."
Cen Chao smiled bitterly, "I haven't practiced for a while."
Gu Wan was dressed quite casually today. She did some warm-up exercises first and then exchanged a few moves with Cen Chao.
The layman watches the excitement, while the expert watches the details.
Cen Chao had learned something from this today. "Gu Wan, you're quite good at fighting."
Gu Wan smiled modestly, "Thank you, Brother Cen Chao, for the compliment."
Wang Shu thought it should be not bad, so he took a breath. He had been looking for this heroine for a long time.
Gu Wan took the script and prepared to take a taxi back.
When Cen Chao came out, she signaled the driver to stop in front of her.
"I send you."
Gu Wan didn't refuse, "Thank you."
Cen Chao looked at Gu Wan and found her curious. "How did you learn to fight?"
Gu Wan frowned and thought for a moment, "Does fighting count as fighting since childhood? When I was little, my friend and I were often bullied."
Cen Chao immediately thought of the person she mentioned last time she liked, "Another friend, who do you like?"
Gu Wan didn't seem embarrassed at all and nodded directly, "Yes."
Cen Chao smiled and shook his head, "What about the others?"
Gu Wan seemed a little lonely, "Abroad."
Cen Chao felt surprised. How could someone like Gu Wan be unable to get the love she wants?
"Then you're screwed. Abroad? It's so far away, he's bound to fall in love with someone else."
Gu Wan glared at him fiercely, then seemed to lose her temper. "Forget it, he probably didn't like me anyway."
Cen Chao didn't mean to hurt her, he just felt a little embarrassed. After all, he was four or five years older than her, so there was no need to be so petty with a little girl, especially one who looked so pitiful.
"Your movie is good. I went to the cinema to see it."
Gu Wan looked at him, "Really?"
Cen Chao immediately took out his phone and showed her the ticket information. "How about booking the whole theater? We all have numbers in the studio, and we can also give them to our family members who are going to watch the show."
Gu Wan knew that these meetings with Cen Chao were useful. First she attracted his attention, then slowly made him disgusted with her, and then to this reversal. The effect was quite good. It was just an ordinary tactic of playing hard to get.
"Thank you."
Cen Chao thought this little girl was really something.
Gu Wan saw that they had already arrived at the company and said, "I'll get off first."
Cen Chao looked at the office location with some disdain. Chu Le's surname was Chu after all, but his company was not affiliated with the Chu Group. He even used this shabby little place and didn't provide Gu Wan with a car or an assistant. What was the benefit of signing her?
"Let's go, let's go quickly."
Gu Wan got out of the car and waved to him with a smile.
I just didn't expect that the paparazzi had already captured it.
It became a hot topic in the afternoon.
"Morning and Evening CP"
Gu Wan clicked on it and took a look. It was a snapshot of herself getting out of Cen Chao’s car, and there was also a video version.
CP fans are just like the Chinese New Year.
Chu Le immediately contacted Cen Chao's agent. There must be an explanation for this matter. It's okay for CP fans to be cute in the circle, but in real life, the two people must not have any unclear relationship, especially since Gu Wan is just starting out.
It was not until the evening that Chu Le signed the contract with Gu Wan.
Gu Wan reposted the official Weibo of "Detective" on Weibo, with the text "Please take care of me", and tagged Cen Chao.
Cen Chao said the same thing, but he added, don't forget to send me the fare for taking you back today.
After explaining it in one sentence, the drama was also promoted.
Gu Wan’s fans were all very excited. After all, she managed to get the female lead in director Wang Shu’s film so easily. She really did a great job.
CP fans are also very excited that the two are working together again. Their last variety show and drama were all edited out.
However, she joined the crew after the Chinese New Year, and Gu Wan began to get busy with the party preparations.
Chu Le also hired an assistant for her, a girl in her twenties named Xu Cheng.
Gu Wan got to know her briefly and said, "You'll have to work hard from now on."
Xu Cheng still didn't understand why she was chosen, but she was really happy to see that it was Gu Wan. She had seen the movie about school violence starring Gu Wan, and it was so real because she had also experienced it.
Chu Le is very good at judging people.
Gu Wan trusts her.
Chu Le chose two dresses. "This sky blue halter dress with fragments, or this red velvet backless dress?"
Gu Wan chose the blue one, which was sexy and charming. Her makeup tonight was lighter, but her facial features were three-dimensional, so she didn't have to worry about whether it could be concealed.
Chu Le thought so too.
When Gu Wan came out after changing into the makeup, Chu Le was stunned. Gu Wan's skin was originally fair, and it looked even whiter with the makeup. The makeup artist also added a mole at the corner of her eye, which was so seductive.
Chu Le swallowed his saliva and said, "Wanwan, you are really beautiful. Very beautiful."
Gu Wan is even more seductive when she smiles, but her cold face makes her look like she is keeping people at a distance.
The evening party was broadcast live. Gu Wan walked over alone, signed autographs, and was then stopped by the host to chat.
"What do you want to say to our audience?"
Gu Wan pursed her lips and nodded, "Happy New Year. Remember to eat dumplings no matter where you are." She said these two simple words.
Cen Zhan loves dumplings the most. Every year, Gu Wan would send him a bowl of dumplings that she made herself, because Cen's mother was never at home during the Chinese New Year.
The author has something to say:
You can leave me a message, do you want this book to have a happy ending or a sad ending?
ps: The original male lead does not necessarily mean the real male lead. Whoever gets the marriage certificate with the female lead is the male lead.
