Chapter 709: The Black and Red Female Star (19)
"Don't most celebrities have their own personas? Their personas may be completely opposite to their real personalities. Isn't this very normal in the entertainment industry?" Qi Shichu comforted her.
Zhou Meng said with a disappointed look on her face: "I thought Shen Yuming was different, but who knew he was no different from other idols, maybe even worse."
"What did he do to you? Why did your attitude towards him suddenly change?" Qi Shichu asked.
"When you were filming just now, I saw that he had time to rest, so I went up to him and wanted to ask for his autograph. Unexpectedly, he interrupted me impatiently as soon as I opened my mouth, and scolded me, saying that I disturbed him while he was playing games and was not tactful at all, and told me to get away..." Zhou Meng's eyes turned red as she spoke. Although she was a small assistant, she had never been scolded like this in person, not to mention that the person who scolded her was her favorite idol. This was a double blow, and she couldn't stand it all of a sudden. It took her a long time to barely calm down.
Qi Shichu was really shocked when he heard her words: "How dare he treat his fans so badly? Isn't he afraid that if the crew sees him, it will affect his image?"
Zhou Meng shook his head and said, "His assistant is watching everyone and won't allow anyone to take photos or record videos. There is no evidence. Even if someone says that he has a bad personality, a bad temper, and is not nice to his fans, he can refute it and say that his rivals are slandering him."
"Oh, he's so good at being a traffic idol. No wonder he's so arrogant." Qi Shichu sighed and asked Zhou Meng, "Do you still like him now?"
"Of course I don't like him. I'm not a cheapskate. I still liked him even though he scolded me like that. Now I've turned from a fan to a hater!" Zhou Meng said angrily, "I'll just think of my previous love for him as a waste! He deceived me so much!"
Qi Shichu comforted her: "Now that you know his true face, you won't be deceived by him anymore. Isn't this a good thing?"
"Well, it's a good thing, but my idol image is shattered, and I still feel very sad." Zhou Meng said dejectedly, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and immediately jumped up to remind Qi Shichu:
"By the way, Sister Qi, Chen Yuming likes to hype up relationships with female stars. He always hypes up couples with female stars every time he shoots a movie. You've become famous recently. Will he target you?"
Qi Shichu was stunned after hearing this, a little uncertain: "He is more famous than me, why does he need to hype me up? Isn't it just letting me take advantage of his popularity and traffic for nothing?"
"Sister Qi, it's not like that. Although he seems to be more famous than you, he can't compare to you in terms of acting skills. Besides, you are so beautiful, it's not a loss to have a scandal with you. Even if you really take advantage of his popularity, his fans will definitely scold you for sucking his blood, and it will be your reputation that will be ruined, not his. On the contrary, he can still maintain his popularity. So for him, it is more beneficial than harmful to have a scandal with you." Zhou Meng made a clear analysis.
"Then I will try to stay away from him in the crew and not give him any chance to hype himself." Qi Shichu made up his mind immediately.
However, she couldn't stay away from Shen Yuming just because she wanted to, after all, they had a rivalry.
"Teacher Qi, please give me your guidance on this scene." Shen Yuming bowed to Qi Shichu, raised his eyebrows and smiled. He thought he looked particularly handsome and cool when doing this action, but it looked particularly greasy to Qi Shichu.
"I don't deserve it. I hope we can pass it in one go." Qi Shichu said with a polite smile.
This scene is about the female general Jiang Changying and the Marquis of Wuyang who meet on the street and start a fight. The two men's families are in opposition, and they always confront each other when they meet. This time, the Marquis of Wuyang mocked Jiang Changying as a tomboy, while Jiang Changying ridiculed the Marquis of Wuyang as a boiled chicken lady. The two men were at loggerheads, mocking each other, and finally started fighting when they were angry.
Qi Shichu took the long wooden cannon in his hand and stabbed it towards Shen Yuming on horseback: "Wuyang Hou chicken! Eat my wooden cannon!"
"Jiang tomboy! Watch out!" Marquis Wuyang immediately drew his sword and fought with Jiang Changying. Although Jiang Changying called Marquis Wuyang a boiled chicken, he was just a little thin and still had some martial arts skills, so he could fight fiercely with Jiang Changying.
But after Shen Yuming finished his lines, he was unable to block Qi Shichu's stab. He took several steps back, as if he was afraid that he would really be stabbed by her.
The director was so angry that he shouted, "Stop! Shen Yuming, what's wrong with you? Why are you retreating? You have to fight, fight! To retreat without fighting is like being a coward. Do it again!"
When Shen Yuming heard the director's scolding, he was so angry that his chest heaved violently, and his hand holding the sword turned white. Although he was pushed by the investors, the director was very tough and had said that he would be kicked out if he made trouble and disobeyed in the crew. Although Shen Yuming is now a top traffic star, he has no power to resist in front of the real big shots. It just so happens that the director of this drama is someone he cannot afford to offend.
Therefore, he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger, and start acting with Qi Shichu again.
"Stop! Shen Yuming's movements are wrong, try again!"
"Stop! What's that expression on your face, Shen Yuming? Marquis Wuyang is a young master from an aristocratic family. He pays attention to his demeanor and temperament. It's impossible for him to have such a ferocious expression!"
"Stop! Shen Yuming, can you be more powerful? Didn't you eat?"
…
The director seemed to be arguing with Shen Yuming, and focused on finding the shortcomings of Shen Yuming's acting. He stopped again and again. Qi Shichu repeated the shooting more than ten times in a row, and was almost traumatized by the director's shouting "stop". Shen Yuming's face became even uglier. He felt that the director was nitpicking and deliberately making things difficult for him. After the director shouted "cut" again, he didn't care whether he offended the director or not. He threw away his sword and stopped acting with a cold face: "I won't shoot anymore!"
"Chen Yuming! What's your attitude? You are a big star outside, but you are just an ordinary worker here! You don't want to act anymore, right? There are so many people who want to act in my plays!" The director was so angry that he cursed.
The opponents all went on strike, so Qi Shichu got a chance to rest. The director was busy complaining to the investor who had inserted Shen Yuming into the role.
"Sister Qi, isn't Chen Yuming's temper too bad? He doesn't even give the director face." Zhou Meng whispered to Qi Shichu, "Is his backer more powerful than the director's?"
"Who knows? It's none of our business anyway." Qi Shichu said indifferently and started drinking the milk tea that Zhou Meng bought for her.
I don’t know how the director will deal with Shen Yuming. After he filed the complaint, he let Qi Shichu shoot other scenes.
After Shen Yuming went on strike, he stayed in the lounge for a while, then left the crew with a group of assistants, probably going back to the hotel.
Qi Shichu felt that Shen Yuming would bow to the director in the future, after all, if he didn't want to completely offend the director and the people who supported him.
