Chapter 699: The Black and Red Female Star (9)
"Good, good! Keep it up..." Director Zhou couldn't stop smiling behind the camera, having long forgotten Chen Shuya's previous ridiculously stiff acting.
After finally finishing filming Zhu Xun and Qi Shichu's scenes, it was time for dinner. As the second female lead, Qi Shichu's box lunch was considered pretty good. Just when she was eating happily, someone suddenly sat next to her. She turned around and found that it was Chen Shuya.
As the leading actress, Chen Shuya has her own lounge in the crew. She usually rests, touches up her makeup, and eats in her own lounge and never comes out. But this time, during meal time, she appeared here with Qi Shichu for the first time. This is a lounge shared by several actors, and Chen Shuya has never set foot here before.
So when she showed up, she attracted the attention of several people who were eating here. They all greeted her: "Teacher Chen!" "Teacher Chen, have you finished your meal?"
Qi Shichu was not familiar with her, so he just followed the crowd and nodded to her, called her "Teacher Chen", and then lowered his head to eat.
Seeing her like this, Chen Shuya's sweet smile froze for a moment, but she thought of her plan and quickly adjusted her expression. She said to Qi Shichu softly, "Teacher Qi, I want to talk to you. I wonder if I can take up some of your time?"
Qi Shichu swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "I don't deserve to be Teacher Qi. Just call me by my name."
"Okay, then I'll call you Shichu." Chen Shuya said with a smile, "Shichu, you just acted really well with Teacher Zhu. You passed the play in one take, which made me feel ashamed. I wonder if you can teach me if you have time?"
Chen Shuya did not avoid other people in the lounge, but directly stated her request, which immediately made the other people who were silently eavesdropping on their conversation have a much better impression of her. Before, Chen Shuya's poor acting skills made everyone have to go through the scenes with her over and over again, and everyone disliked her. But now, as a female star with a higher status than Qi Shichu, she did not hesitate to ask a female star who was far less famous than her to teach her. This made people admire her broad-mindedness and humility.
So Chen Shuya immediately improved her popularity in other people's eyes.
When Qi Shichu heard her words, he glanced at her indifferently. Although Chen Shuya made this request to him with an expectant and sincere look and smiled gently and kindly, Qi Shichu would never forget the look full of malice and jealousy that Chen Shuya had cast on her when she was performing a play with Zhu You.
But now she didn't seem to be hostile towards him at all. Instead, she came to him for help with a very friendly attitude. Qi Shichu could tell with his heels that she must be hostile towards him, but she was hiding this hostility temporarily, and he didn't know when it would erupt.
Therefore, Qi Shichu shook his head and said, "Teacher Chen, you are too modest. You are just not in a good condition. If you adjust your condition, you will definitely be better than me. My acting skills are not yet at the level where I can teach you. If I show off my skills in front of an expert, wouldn't it delay you? If you really want to improve your acting skills, you can go directly to the director, who knows the personality of your character best. You can also go to Zhu Xun, who is the person who has the most scenes with you and is also your boyfriend in the play. He must have his own understanding of your role, so you can discuss it with them."
Chen Shuya didn't expect Qi Shichu to reject her request. In her opinion, she should be grateful and obey her orders since she, a first-line female star, could lower herself to befriend her. How could he reject her so calmly? Chen Shuya held her breath again.
But she couldn't show it here directly, so she took a deep breath, put on a worried look, and said to Qi Shichu pitifully: "But Shichu, although they all know my role very well, they are all men. If I look for them alone, I don't know what kind of unsightly scandals will spread. So you, as a homosexual, are the most suitable... Can you promise me? Please..."
Chen Shuya is indeed a popular actress. When she frowns and begs people with affectionate eyes, it is easy to make people soften their hearts, especially when she is very beautiful, it is even easier for people to involuntarily want to agree to her request.
But she used this expression on the wrong person. If she was facing a man at this moment, she would probably be invincible; but Qi Shichu was a woman, her heart was cold and hard, and she already knew that Chen Shuya had no feelings for her, so it was impossible for her to be moved by Chen Shuya's pitiful and pleading expression.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Chen, it's really not suitable. We are so busy filming normally that we don't even have time to rest after finishing a scene, so how can we have time to improve each other's acting skills? What's more, sometimes you and I are filming at different time periods. You may have just started filming when you have finished, and you may have to go on stage again when I have finished, so it is impossible for us to have free time at the same time..." Qi Shichu said it very politely, but the meaning behind his words was very clear, he just didn't want to deal with her.
Chen Shuya endured it again and again, knowing that she could not get closer to Qi Shichu by using the excuse of asking for advice on acting, so she had to change her mind, and showed a disappointed expression, and said to Qi Shichu sympathetically: "Well, I didn't think it through. But even though we don't have time to exchange acting skills together, we can still be good friends, right?"
Chen Shuya approached Qi Shichu and held her arm intimately, smiling like a sweet teenage girl: "I don't know why, but I always feel that I can't help but want to get closer to you, as if you are my sister... So can we be good friends? I have been busy with work these years and don't have many good friends in the circle. I want to find someone to share my feelings with but there is no one... I like you very much, can you promise to be my good friend?"
Qi Shichu felt that his arm, which was held by her, was stiff, and he could not help but get goose bumps all over his body. Oh my god, this was like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken, and it was obvious that she had bad intentions. Such a person who was clearly hostile to him now said that she wanted to be good friends with him? Wasn't this clearly a sign of wanting to cause trouble?
"Teacher Chen, you are my senior, how dare I be good friends with you? I am not worthy of you at all! If I were your fan, I would definitely say that I am trying to ride on your popularity. How can I do that!" Qi Shichu quickly pulled his arm away from Chen Shuya's hand, and humbly said that he was not worthy of being her good friend.
