Chapter 50
Gu Zhun's web drama started filming on a rainy summer day. The whole city was covered with a thin layer of dust that day, and every breath he took was filled with unspeakable pain.
Chen Shiman got up early that day and spent some time at home getting dressed. He was thinking about what to do if someone accidentally photographed him on the set. In order to always appear in front of the public with an exquisite appearance, he was willing to get up an hour earlier. This was no big deal for him.
In order to prevent secret photography, Chen Shiman and Gu Zhun went to the shooting site in separate cars. He and Liu Weiwei were in one car, and Chen Shiman and Xiao Jiang were in another car.
Chen Shiman was still in charge of photographing Gu Zhun. Since the two of them had opened up, Chen Shiman no longer had to hide anything from Gu Zhun, and his perspective on filming had returned to its previous state. Even in private, the two of them would occasionally record their lives, and Gu Zhun would quietly post the photos on Weibo.
Every time this happened, Chen Shiman would feel like he was having an affair, as if he was doing something shameful right under the noses of his fans.
He was nervous and secretly delighted, hiding in a corner alone, feeling the excitement.
It was half past ten when they arrived at the scene. As soon as Chen Shiman got out of the car, he saw Gu Zhun hunched over next to the director, listening to his lecture.
Because of Gu Zhun's background, he plays the third male role here, a tool who serves the female lead without regrets.
At that time, Gu Zhun also told Chen Shiman that it was the production team who found him for this role. He was attracted to the crazy second male lead at first sight, but they already had a candidate, who was assigned by the investors. So he had to choose the third male lead who was more to his liking from the remaining roles.
Chen Shiman even asked what his fans thought. He didn't know if it was out of guilt during those two days, but he didn't dare check Gu Zhun's Weibo, or if he only glanced at it once or twice and then left quickly.
Gu Zhun said: "I had given them some warnings beforehand, and their acceptance was quite high. Of course, there were also some criticisms, but that's something you have to go through when you're transitioning. Their only request was that I don't do any kissing scenes, saying that's the thing they can't accept the most."
Gu Zhun told this to Chen Shiman as a joke, and took out his cell phone to show him the Weibo post announcing the drama.
Chen Shiman leaned over and saw Gu Zhun's reply to the comment about not filming kissing scenes: [Gu Zhun: I can't get a role of that rank yet.]
Characters with kissing scenes are ranked very high.
Chen Shiman felt mixed emotions and didn't know what to say.
Now, Chen Shiman looked at Gu Zhun, who was wearing a suit that was not very decent, holding flowers in his hands, and running towards the lovely heroine.
Chen Shiman was standing in the distance, standing with Liu Weiwei. He noticed from the corner of his eye that Liu Weiwei's eyes were very nervous, so he asked casually, "Sister Weiwei, what do you think of Brother Gu's transformation?"
"I don't know. Honestly, I was expecting a script to come my way. After all, Gu Zhun had already expressed his desire to transition, but I didn't expect him to accept it so quickly. Plus, the script isn't particularly good, which still surprised me." Liu Weiwei knew Gu Zhun well. He'd rather be unemployed than break his principles and take on something he didn't enjoy. But this time, he was incredibly proactive. She was about to turn down the web series, but Gu Zhun rushed to act in it.
Chen Shiman said: "I remember Mr. Gu said a long time ago that he wanted to transform. Didn't anyone extend an olive branch to him?"
According to Chen Shiman's idea, shouldn't there be a lot of resources for Gu Zhun to choose from?
Liu Weiwei sighed, feeling an indescribable sadness. "Oh, you don't know, most of Gu Zhun's fans are girlfriends, and they usually approach him for romance films. Furthermore, most directors think that someone of Gu Zhun's caliber must be paid very well."
"Isn't it?"
"If that's the case, why is he still acting in a low-budget web drama? Gu Zhun is not picky now, and I don't know what he is thinking. He should calm down a bit. It seems a bit too hasty." What Liu Weiwei didn't say was that Gu Zhun told her in person that he was not concerned about the salary now, he just wanted to make a quick transition.
Chen Shiman seemed to be thinking about something, and decided to talk to his brother indirectly.
There were still some boarding students at the school where they were filming, gathering in groups of three or four around the set, taking pictures and whispering.
"It's Mr. Gu, right? I quite like him. Why are you here filming a drama?"
Chen Shiman heard someone say this.
"I don't know, but it looks pretty realistic."
Chen Shiman was very interested in listening to it.
"Hey, look, isn't that the station girl, the one standing on the tree?"
Chen Shiman heard the girls behind him exclaiming, and he looked around one by one. Sure enough, he saw a girl in long sleeves and long pants right in front of him, holding a cannon in her hand and taking pictures of Gu Zhun in the distance.
He finally understood why he could never get any fresh news. He didn't work as hard as these fans, so he gave up.
After Gu Zhun finished filming this scene, Chen Shiman immediately came forward to give him iced water.
The sweat beads on Gu Zhun's forehead slid down the bridge of his nose to his chin. He gulped down the water, but his eyes were always fixed on Chen Shiman's face.
Chen Shiman felt embarrassed by the other person's gaze, and his cheeks flushed instantly. Fortunately, it was summer now, so he could use the hot weather as an excuse.
"Don't look at me, your sister is here." Chen Shiman knew how powerful her sister was, and he didn't have time to avoid suspicion.
Gu Zhun said, "Okay, you can order some milk tea in my name for the theater staff, and then ask Xiao Jiang to send a cup to the station sister. It's summer, and it's not easy for the girl."
Perhaps because he was an idol, Gu Zhun was moved by his emotions, and now he felt particularly sorry for his fans. As a result, he would agree to any request they made, as long as it was not too excessive.
By the time Gu Zhun went to shoot the second scene, the milk tea and small cakes ordered by Chen Shiman had already arrived, paid for by Gu Zhun.
Chen Shiman asked Xiao Jiang to distribute the things to everyone, and he walked to the station sister with a small cake and milk tea.
When I got closer to Chen Shiman, I found that the station host was a baby-faced girl about 1.6 meters tall. She didn't look very old, but her small body could easily carry the cannon.
"Hello, I'm Teacher Gu's assistant. I'm here to bring you some afternoon tea." Chen Shiman didn't know this fangirl. He hadn't been to any offline events much since he followed Gu Zhun.
The little girl put down the camera with a red face and said, "Thank you, thank you."
Then the little girl stopped talking.
Chen Shiman looked at the little girl whose bangs were wet and her eyelashes were covered with tiny water droplets. He said, "Why are you chasing me in such a hot day? You must be a big fan." Then he handed her a pack of tissues.
The girl nodded and said, "Yes, that's basically all my job. I'm happy as long as I can always take the most perfect photos of Gu Zhun."
After that, the little girl picked up the cannon again and concentrated on shooting for several minutes.
Chen Shiman felt that his presence was interfering with other people's work, so he ran away in shame.
"That's Jun Yuge." Xiao Jiang came up and whispered in Chen Shiman's ear.
"What?" he wondered.
"A big fan of Teacher Gu, the owner of the biggest fan club, I've been following Teacher Gu since he debuted."
"How do you know her online name?"
Isn't this a very private matter?
Xiao Jiang smiled. "Well, it's because Teacher Gu wasn't very famous back then. Just when the talent show had just started, this fan kept chasing after our Teacher Gu. Teacher Gu knew her too. At that time, her son was a little out there, so she knew about it. That girl is very sensible. Although she's bold enough to say anything online, she keeps it a secret offline and doesn't cause any trouble for us. Of course, I heard all this from Sister Weiwei."
It turns out that she is "Zhun Yuge".
Chen Shiman didn't expect this.
Basically, she would comment and forward every Weibo post of Gu Zhun, and sometimes she would make some jokes, but they were all things Gu Zhun could bear, and every time she spoke, she would get a lot of likes.
This time Chen Shiman stared at the little girl even more furtively.
This is truly a capable woman.
For a moment, Chen Shiman felt like he was crazy.
Low-budget web dramas generally require a fast pace, to catch the eye immediately, and the shooting progress is also very fast.
For example, today, Gu Zhun only filmed half of his scenes.
He didn't have many scenes in the film, Chen Shiman remembers that there were only about 20 scenes in total.
After Gu Zhun finished work, he talked with the director for nearly half an hour before leaving reluctantly.
Chen Shiman handed over a towel and said, "Wipe it off. Your foundation has turned into a paste. Hahahaha."
"I originally said I wouldn't wear makeup, but... uh, where's Sister Weiwei?" Gu Zhun followed Chen Shiman into the nanny car, and waved to the girl standing behind him.
"I don't know, let's wait a moment." Chen Shiman replied.
After getting in the car, the air conditioner was turned on high. Gu Zhun couldn't adapt to it at once and shivered several times. Xiao Jiang came in later, holding a mobile phone and a small cake.
"Oh, it's your birthday." Chen Shiman could tell at a glance that it was a very famous cake shop in the city.
Xiao Jiang nodded, "My brother's birthday is tonight."
Chen Shiman suddenly thought of something and took out his cell phone to search for Gu Zhun’s birthday on Baidu.
It was in November, but he was afraid that the birthday on Baidu was fake, so he asked Gu Zhun directly: "When is your birthday?"
Gu Zhun's mood suddenly brightened. "November." Gu Zhun wanted to make a teasing remark, but because there was a third person present, he was afraid that someone would notice anything, so he answered naturally.
And Gu Zhun, in order to find a place to vent his joy, directly took out his mobile phone and gave Xiao Jiang two thousand yuan. "Since it's your birthday and you let me know, just use it to have a good meal. Don't think it's too little!"
Xiao Jiang almost fainted when she saw the transfer information on her phone. How could she think it was too little? Her monthly salary was only a few thousand!
Gu Zhun looked at the smile on Xiao Jiang's face and smiled too.
"Okay, you can go home from get off work and spend time with your family. I'll talk to Sister Weiwei about it." They were good people who had to go back to the company for a small meeting. The main purpose was to talk about Gu Zhun's filming today.
But Gu Zhun felt that this was not a big deal, and he could just let others summarize it and tell Xiao Jiang.
Xiao Jiang nodded vigorously, "Okay, boss, you are so nice!"
Later, Liu Weiwei called and said that she had something to do and would be delayed for a while, so she asked them to go first. So Xiao Jiang got off at the next intersection and took a taxi directly home.
Now only Chen Shiman and Gu Zhun were left in the car.
Gu Zhun was very relaxed and at ease. Chen Shiman felt a little tired and was about to close his eyes to rest when he suddenly felt something scratching his calf lightly, causing it to feel a little itchy.
