After filming a scene starring Chu Xiu, several NGs were made. It was not because her performance was bad, but because her opposite Gu Qinghe performed poorly.
This is very rare. As a movie emperor, Gu Qinghe's acting skills are unquestionable. In the first few scenes, his performance was very professional and he entered and exited the role at will. Chu Xiu was led by him and also performed exceptionally well.
But today, when Gu Qinghe spoke to Chu Xiu, he either acted in a weird mood or read his lines wrongly. Not only did Chu Xiu find it strange, but even the director came over to him after calling "cut" and asked him concernedly if something had happened.
Gu Qinghe looked at Chu Xiu with a subtle expression and said that it was okay, but he still asked the director for a few minutes of rest. The director nodded and asked him to go to the side to find his state.
After that, they just shot a scene of Chu Xiu. Without Gu Qinghe by her side to influence her, Chu Xiu's performance was more normal, and it was passed in two takes.
Director Guo Zheng is an experienced director who has directed several hit dramas. In this entertainment industry full of young and handsome actors, he has always been a maverick and never follows the crowd to use traffic actors. His dramas have connotation and depth, and his requirements on the actors' acting skills are very high.
At first, Guo Zheng was very reluctant to hear that the big investor had already chosen the female lead. The reason why he had not decided on the female lead for this drama was not because he could not find anyone, but because he wanted to be very selective and pick the best one.
But after all the trouble, the female lead had to be chosen by default, which made him depressed and even thought about giving up directing the show.
Seeing Chu Xiu afterwards was definitely an unexpected surprise.
Chu Xiu may look weak, gentle and well-behaved, but her eyes are bright and full of spirit. With his experience of reading countless people, Director Guo Zheng knew at first glance that she was an actor who was chosen by God.
Sure enough, Chu Xiu did not disappoint him. Once she got into the role, her gentle temperament naturally restrained itself. When she raised her head and opened her eyes, the stubborn and brave Liu Chujin appeared.
Guo Zheng felt a little puzzled. Why did such a good talent stay in the entertainment industry for several years without any success, and in the end he even had to rely on investing to get a good role?
"She is still very dependent on her husband here, so you can be more gentle appropriately." Guo Zheng was telling Chu Xiu about the next scene.
Gu Qinghe came over after his break and heard the director explaining the play, so he followed along and listened attentively.
The director turned to him and said, "You have already looked at your wife differently. When you are together, you will be more intimate. This should be easy to do."
Gu Qinghe glanced at Chu Xiu, nodded and said, "I'll try my best."
The director said: "It's not about trying your best, but about doing it well."
Gu Qinghe: ...
The director walked away after he finished speaking, leaving the two to practice the scene. Chu Xiu turned around and asked him in a low voice, "You are not in good shape today. Is it because of me?"
Gu Qinghe was a little surprised and asked, "Why do you ask that?"
Chu Xiu said, "Because you kept your distance from me today and avoided my sight on purpose. Am I right?"
Gu Qinghe: ...
Chu Xiu looked at him in confusion. "Teacher Gu, you weren't like this two days ago. Did something happen? Or did someone say or do something to you?"
Gu Qinghe hesitated for a moment, then told the truth, "My agent received a call from President Lu's assistant, who conveyed President Lu's intention, asking me to keep a certain distance from you. If there is any more scandal between you and me, President Lu will be very unhappy."
Chu Xiu was really shocked. The midnight snack incident had clearly passed and was clarified to be a misunderstanding, but Lu Yuanzhou actually asked his assistant to warn Gu Qinghe's agent.
Is Lu Yuanzhou 30 years old or 3 years old? ? He did this kind of writing that was like a puppy peeing on the ground to claim sovereignty without any pressure. Isn’t it embarrassing? ?
Chu Xiu was instantly embarrassed and said quickly, "Teacher Gu, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble. I didn't know he would do such a thing. You don't have to pay attention to him, let alone be affected by him. I will take care of this matter."
Gu Qingzhou was amused when he saw her blushing and apologizing repeatedly. He said, "You two are quite a good match. One is arrogant and domineering, and the other is gentle and well-behaved."
Chu Xiu: ...
Teacher Gu, this is definitely your illusion! Lu Yuanzhou is arrogant and domineering, but she is far from being gentle and well-behaved.
Gu Qinghe also said, "President Lu really cares about you."
Chu Xiu: ...
She didn't know how to respond.
Fortunately, the director shouted "start" in front of the monitor and the script supervisor quickly came over and hit the clapboard, which resolved Chu Xiu's embarrassment.
Around five o'clock in the afternoon, the lunch boxes for the crew had been delivered, but Chu Xiu had not finished a scene yet, so the director called her to review the play. When she returned to the lounge chair, the meal was no longer hot.
Ran Ran brought her a bowl and chopsticks, saying, "Eat quickly, sister. Eat more. I heard from the assistant director that we have to continue filming tonight."
It gets dark early in the winter. While they were eating, the lights on the set were already on. Workers were coming and going to adjust the lights, and soon the set was illuminated as bright as day.
Chu Xiu picked up the chopsticks and took two bites when he suddenly remembered what Gu Qinghe had told him before. He felt depressed, so he put down the chopsticks, asked Ran Ran for his cell phone, and sent a WeChat message to Lu Yuanzhou.
"Have you asked someone to find Gu Qinghe's agent?"
After sending the message, she waited for a few seconds, but Lu Yuanzhou did not reply. She picked up the bowl and continued to eat. When she was halfway through her meal, Lu Yuanzhou's message came.
"So what? Did he complain to you?"
Chu Xiu thought, is this guy still the same boss Lu who always criticized others without a trace? When did his tone become so childish?
Chu Xiu said, "What do you mean by complain? He was avoiding me on the set today and I found out. Why did you go looking for him for no reason?"
Lu Yuanzhou replied: "Let him know one fact."
Chu Xiu: ???
Lu Yuanzhou said: "Let him know that you are mine."
Chu Xiu rolled her eyes, tapped her phone screen quickly, and said, "Do you have any misunderstanding about our relationship? If you have a bad memory, please find the agreement and review it ten times."
Lu Yuanzhou: "You are the one with a bad memory. Even if it is a marriage by agreement, the marriage itself is legally binding. From the day you sign the agreement, you are obliged to keep a certain distance from other men."
Chu Xiu: ...
Although what he said was logical, it should not be applied to her and Gu Qinghe. The reason why they were close was because of the acting requirements. They had to act intimate in front of the camera, but off the set, they were just ordinary friends who knew each other!
Isn’t acting like this?
Chu Xiu was so angry at him that she lost her appetite. His message seemed reasonable, but it was actually nonsense. How could she, an actress, keep a distance from the actor who played opposite her? Didn't Lu Yuanzhou know anything about this? ?
Finally, she said with mixed feelings: "I am an actor, this is my job, please recognize this fact as soon as possible."
After saying that, he locked his phone angrily, trying not to see it and not to be bothered by it.
A breath of air stuck in her chest, making her lose her appetite.
When Chu Xiu put down her phone, she saw Ran Ran answering her work phone, so she waited quietly by the side.
After Ran Ran finished the call, she saw Chu Xiu looked unhappy, so she asked, "Sister, what happened? Did you have a conflict with President Lu?"
Chu Xiu didn't answer, but asked her: "Did Sister Zhao call?"
Ran Ran nodded, "Sister Zhao will bring Sister Gu Rou to Xicheng to meet the brand owner tomorrow, and she also said she wants to come and see you."
Chu Xiu said "Oh". Gu Rou is the most famous artist currently managed by Zhao Xue. She became popular at the beginning of the year because of a youth idol drama, and her traffic instantly increased by several levels.
In the original owner's memory, she was also very jealous of Gu Rou. Gu Rou only followed Zhao Xue one year earlier than her, but Gu Rou's resources were far better than hers.
Gu Rou is not a pushover either. On the surface, she maintains a friendly relationship with Yuan Chuxiu as a fellow student, but in private, they actually dislike each other and from time to time, she would compete for Zhao Xue's favor.
"Sister Zhao is here to visit us on set, is Gu Rou here too?" Chu Xiu asked.
Ran Ran said: "Let's bring her to meet Director Guo."
Chu Xiu: ...
Ran Ran looked at her meal and said, "Sister, you haven't even eaten a few bites of your meal, it's all cold!"
Chu Xiu said, "I can't eat anymore. Let's go get a midnight snack later."
Ran Ran said, "You're still thinking about supper. Didn't Director Guo talk to you yesterday and suggested that you lose a few more pounds?"
Chu Xiu: ...
"That's great. I won't eat dinner either. I'm sure I'll lose a few pounds soon."
As the two were talking, the floor assistant came over hurriedly with a bunch of roses and said, "Teacher Chu, someone outside sent you a bunch of flowers. The security checked it and it's OK. I brought it in for you."
Chu Xiu took the flowers with a smile and said, "Thank you, is it from a fan?"
The assistant shook his head and said, "They were sent by the most famous flower shop in West City. They said the roses were flown in from abroad and were delayed a bit, so they arrived so late. They will send a bouquet every day from now on."
Chu Xiu: ...
The rose bouquet was very large. Roughly estimated, there should be about a hundred flowers. However, according to normal practice, there must not be a hundred flowers in it, but 99.
Ran Ran was surprised and said, "Sister, is this your secret admirer? A big bouquet of roses every day, this is too romantic!"
Chu Xiu glanced at her and said, "Then I can't accept it. After all, I have a family now."
Lu Yuanzhou had just warned her that their marriage was legally binding. Although the rose in front of her was beautiful, to her, it was no different from a wild flower.
"Don't pick wild flowers on the roadside." said Lu Yuanzhou.
Chu Xiu took a look at the rose and found a card inside. She was curious about who sent it, so she picked it up and opened it.
"Seeing the flowers is like seeing the people..."
The signature is a beautifully written Chinese character "Lu".
Chu Xiu was instantly struck by lightning.
This was actually sent by Lu Yuanzhou!!!
Is he sick? He just had a quarrel with her on WeChat, and now he wants a bouquet of roses a day? ? He also said that seeing the flowers is like seeing the person!
Ugh!!!
Chu Xiu put the flowers aside in disdain, holding the card and said to Ran Ran: "Look up the phone number of this flower shop."
Meanwhile, in South City, Lu Yuanzhou had just finished dinner when he received a message from Dong Dongjian, "Brother Zhou, the flower shop said the roses have been delivered. They are fresh and beautiful Bulgarian roses. I guarantee that my sister-in-law will like them when she sees them!"
Lu Yuanzhou nodded with satisfaction: "Well done."
Just after sending a message to Dong Dongjian, he received a message from Chu Xiu. He clicked it and saw a transfer of a considerable amount.
Add a sentence: "If you receive the flowers, just think of it as if I bought them from you. You can take the money!"
Mainland China: …
The author has something to say: Mr. Lu: This crappy flower is given at the wrong time!
