"Son, I heard from Director Zeng that you weren't in good form yesterday."
"I was called back to rest and adjust my condition after filming only a few scenes."
Zhou lowered his head; this was too embarrassing.
Without Gu Luojin, she couldn't even act properly anymore.
"Brother Gu, stop talking."
Since she brought the breakfast, Gu Luojin gave her some face.
"We'll rehearse our lines in a bit."
Zhou, who had been looking down, raised her head again. Gu Luojin's words filled her with confidence.
"Brother Gu, you're the best."
In addition to finishing the scenes she missed yesterday, she also has a scene tonight where she gets pushed down the stairs by a little yellow duck, a challenging and demanding task.
With Gu Luojin's help, Zhou felt that his scenes were being filmed exceptionally smoothly today, which made Director Zeng and the staff present feel the change in Zhou's immersion in the role.
"With the male lead's guidance, Xiao Zhou's acting improved a bit too quickly. Where exactly did things go wrong?"
Director Zeng is like Louis XVI holding Head & Shoulders, completely baffled.
He couldn't understand this strange thing; as long as it was conducive to the filming schedule, that was fine with him.
He chose the actress himself, so he has to bear the consequences.
"Xiao Gu, if you don't have anything important to do recently, don't leave the crew. Help me finish filming Xiao Zhou's scenes as soon as possible."
He was also thinking of asking for leave again in a few days to attend Tencent's video conference.
Let's not talk about this for now, we'll talk about it when we're almost there.
Once the deed is done, Director Zeng will likely agree, considering that he didn't delay his scenes and even helped the crew speed up the filming process.
It completely exhausted him, as he not only had to film his own scenes but also help Zhou with hers.
The key issue is that Sister Meng disturbed his sleep last night, which made him lose his temper.
Gu Luojin was so exhausted that she collapsed onto a chair on set and didn't want to move.
Zhou didn't play around with Gu Luojin today; he prepared Red Bull, coffee, milk tea, fruit, and snacks for him.
The crew didn't think it was excessive; on the contrary, they felt that Gu Luojin deserved it.
All of this was achieved through his hard work and sweat, which greatly reduced the workload of the crew members.
After waking up in the afternoon, Meng Ziyi put on beautiful makeup and went to the film set.
Looking at Zhou's obsequious and pathetic manner, Meng Ziyi thought to herself that there was no need to be so humble; she herself hadn't gone to such lengths back then.
"Son, why are you being so subservient to him? Let him get up and eat by himself. You're practically the only one who needs to feed him."
"This is what Brother Gu deserves."
Zhou's words made Meng Ziyi realize what she had missed while catching up on sleep.
"What did he do?"
"Brother Gu taught me acting."
"he?"
"Teach you acting?"
"Yezi, you're not kidding me, are you?"
"Sister Meng, really, Brother Gu's acting skills are amazing. Even the director of our show praised him for his good acting."
Meng Ziyi had a reason for saying that. She attributed Gu Luojin's outstanding graduate status to personal connections.
"If he's a good actor, I can stay with you and keep him company."
Because of Gulnazar, Meng Ziyi did not watch the movie "The Big Shot" and learn about the changes in Gu Luojin's acting skills.
The second half of the sentence, which could have led to a nomination for Best Actor or even winning the award, was filtered out by Zhou.
Zhou also felt that this statement was too outrageous. To be nominated for or win Best Actor for his second film after only two years of graduation was an astonishing achievement.
Meng Ziyi still didn't believe it; she knew Gu Luojin's acting skills all too well.
She's slightly better than me, but not yet at the level where she can teach others.
"Sister Meng, what nonsense are you talking about? Who asked you to accompany me?"
"Boy, you don't need to lie to me."
Since Sister Meng doesn't believe it, there's no point in her explaining. Let Sister Meng keep her initial impression of Gu Luojin.
Sometimes knowing too much can be a source of pressure and burden.
Meng Ziyi often speaks faster than she thinks. Zhou didn't take Meng Ziyi's suggestion of accompanying her to the meeting to heart, assuming it was just nonsense.
Seeing that Gu Luojin was surrounded by two beautiful women, the little yellow duck's liking for him decreased even more.
[Ding: The little yellow duck's affection level towards you is 10.]
She was already very uncomfortable with his sweet interactions with Zhou, and now another beautiful woman had come along.
This is clearly inconsistent with Gu Luojin's initial explanation for rejecting her.
He rejected her not because he wanted to talk about his career, but because she wasn't pretty enough.
As a film queen, Little Yellow Duck was unwilling to admit that her looks were inferior to the two men, and rejected their advances for Zhou.
It may be hurtful, but that seems to be the truth.
"By the way, didn't Director Zeng say there was a scene where he had to shave his head?"
"Yes."
"I told Director Tsang that I was willing to shave my head, but I wanted the male lead to shave his head with me."
Gu Luojin, if you're not even willing to accompany me to get a haircut, then it proves you're lying to me.
I hate it most when people lie to me.
Gu Luojin, who was resting, noticed that someone was staring at him. He had only experienced this feeling with the cook at the Mushroom House before.
When he turned around to see who it was, the little yellow duck got into the car, leaving him only with the closed door.
"strangeness."
"Brother Gu, what's wrong?"
"I feel like someone is watching us, but I can't see anyone."
"
"Could it be a proxy photographer?"
The production team of "Better Days" has done a good job in preventing this issue, and so far there have been no incidents of unauthorized filming.
"It shouldn't be."
"Yezi, your scene tonight where you fall down the stairs is a bit dangerous, so please be careful."
"Brother Gu, don't worry, the crew will take good precautions."
Nighttime, along the Jialing River, the 309th performance of "Better Days".
-
Outsiders are not allowed to be present during filming, so Sister Meng was unable to stay on set.
Gu Luojin didn't have any scenes to film that night, due to the dangerous nature of that scene.
Concerned about Zhou's safety, Gu Luojin declined Meng Ziyi's invitation to play duo queue.
Arriving on set to accompany Zhou during filming: "Brother Gu, didn't Sister Meng invite you to duo queue?"
It seems Zhou doesn't understand the meaning of "duo queue" and thinks it's just playing games.
"Um, games aren't fun, how about I come watch you film? If you're not feeling well, I can even rehearse with you and get into character."
Zhou suddenly felt that he might be being a little selfish. Gu Luojin was so tired, yet he was still worried about her acting.
Knowing full well that Gu Luojin doesn't date, yet still harboring a secret desire to officially announce their relationship, I feel like I've gone a bit too far.
"Brother Gu, you don't have to be so nice to me."
"If you're too good to me, I'll argue with you too."
The Northwest Hammer King has become the Guangdong Mouth King.
"Should I leave?"
"Since we're already here, why not stay?"
At Zhou's urging, Gu Luojin stayed at the scene.
The director's voice echoed throughout the crew: "All actors, props department, check the props. We will begin filming in one minute."
Looking down at the staircase where the filming was taking place, it seemed like there were no end to the steps; it was so long it made him dizzy, and his legs felt a little weak.
She glanced at Gu Luojin, took a deep breath involuntarily, and mustered her courage.
"The 309th performance of 'Better Days,' the first time, 3.2.1.Action."
Wei Lai pleaded with Chen Nian in a desperate tone, "I've already apologized to him, and I've deleted the video. I have ways to make them listen to me."
Chen Nian asked calmly, "What do you want?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Lai grasped Chen Nian's hand, thinking that her plea for mercy had softened Chen Nian's heart.
"Please don't call the police."
Chen Nian shook off his hand.
Wei Lai continued, "How much money do you want? I can give it to you. Just tell me."
Unable to sway Chen Nian with money, Wei Lai took off her fox-fur hat and unbuttoned her coat.
"If all else fails, I can let you take my picture."
Chen Nian remained unmoved when Wei Lai bullied her.
Seeing that she had no other choice, Wei Lai knelt on the ground and begged Chen Nian for mercy.
"You can hit me, you can yell at me, it's all fine. I really can't repeat a grade anymore."
"My dad hasn't spoken to me for almost a year because of this."
Chen Nian said her second sentence: "I don't want to hear it."
With a sob in her voice, Wei Lai continued to plead with Chen Nian: "You don't have to forgive me, just don't call the police. Everyone has gone too far, please, Chen Nian, I'm sorry."
"Name your terms, I'll agree to anything, please."
"I never want to see you again in my life," Chen Nian said, and continued walking uphill.
Wei Lai assumed that Chen Nian had forgiven her, so she composed herself and chased after her.
"Wait, didn't you say you never wanted to see me again? Then let's not apply to the same universities. I want to apply to Peking University, what about you?"
Wei Lai continued her unrepentant nagging in Chen Nian's ear: "My mother is right, if you learn to deal with good people, life will be too easy."
Upon hearing the word "relaxed," Chen Nian's tone gradually became more serious.
"Relaxed?"
"Okay, I've taken care of the video for you. Promise me you won't call the police. That way, everyone can let it go and pretend nothing happened. The most important thing is to live in the moment."
As Chen Nian listened to Wei Lai's words, the anger and resentment that had been building up inside her were gradually being ignited by Wei Lai's words.
"Hey, are you sure you don't want money? This way your mother can have an easier time and won't have to hide from everyone anymore."
Wei Lai, who finally stepped on Chen Nian's landmine, ignited her anger.
He pushed Wei Lai down the stairs.
Zhou rolled down the stairs on the mats laid out on the stairs, but it didn't achieve the effect that Director Zeng wanted.
"Xiao Zhou, do it again, roll over."
"Okay, director."
He sensed Zhou's anxiety, unease, and fear, and comforted her.
"Don't be afraid, we'll try to pass it on the first try."
Gu Luojin noticed that the staff's protective measures were not in place, so he rolled up his sleeves, took the protective pads himself, and went downstairs.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to protect you."
Gu Luojin's actions filled Zhou with emotion and a sense of resilience.
At this moment, she longed to forget her identity as an actress and everything around her.
All she wanted was to embrace Gu Luojin without reservation and pour out all her surging emotions to him.
With Gu Luojin's promise behind her, she no longer seemed afraid.
Zhou fell backward down the stairs and tumbled down the stairs.
Then an unexpected incident occurred. Zhou did not roll along the predicted protective route. Just as she was about to hit the steps, repeating the accident from her previous life, she was about to fall.
The entire crew gasped in alarm; if he hit his head, it would be a major accident.
When the tragedy inevitably occurred, everyone present froze in place, utterly bewildered.
Zhou couldn't control the direction of her body's roll. She closed her eyes and awaited the outcome.
In a flash, Gu Luojin stepped forward.
Zhou was about to lose his balance and hit the back of his head on the step.
Using his agility, he took a step forward.
He reacted quickly, supporting her upper body around the waist to prevent her head from hitting the hard steps.
Zhou opened his eyes, but the scene before him was completely different from the pain he had expected.
She didn't fall on the steps, but instead fell into Gu Luojin's arms.
"Brother Gu—" Zhou cried out in despair.
She almost thought she was going to die. In her previous life, she hadn't taken proper precautions and hit her head on the steps, knocking herself unconscious.
"Don't be afraid, I told you, I'll protect you from behind."
The two heard Director Zeng's angry rebukes and scolding: "How did your props team do a good job of protection?"
"If it weren't for Xiao Gu's quick thinking, the actor would have had an accident, and you would have had to bear a lot of responsibility."
"Can you do a good job? If you can't, replace you as soon as possible."
The props team staff quickly apologized and promised that this situation would not happen again.
He ran over to apologize to Zhou: "Teacher Zhou, we are so sorry. It was our negligence that almost caused a big mistake. All the staff in our props team apologize to you."
Still in shock, Zhou stood up at Gu Luojin's prompting.
"This was an accident, and I wasn't injured. Please have the props team check carefully to see if there are any other issues, so as to prevent accidents from happening again."
The props team is all Zeng Guoxiang's team, and they wouldn't fire their trusted confidante just because Zhou is a relatively unknown actress.
Zhou's magnanimity won the favor of the staff present, laying a friendly foundation for her next collaboration with a renowned director.
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Teacher Zhou. We have deeply reflected on our mistakes in our work."
It's quite common for actors to get injured on set. If handled properly, it won't affect the production or even the film.
If not handled properly, the resulting scandal will affect public opinion on the film.
With Gu Luojin protecting him, Zhou felt confident and passed the test perfectly for the third time.
"Click."
Wei Lai pushed Chen Nian down the stairs to bully her. In order to gain the forgiveness of the bullied, Wei Lai angered Chen Nian and was pushed down the stairs to her death. All of this proved the law of cause and effect.
"Brother Gu, if it weren't for you, I thought I was going to fall down the steps."
Even now, she doesn't dare to recall the scene at that time, and Gu Luojin never expected to encounter such a thing.
"It's all in the past."
Back at the hotel, Zhou recounted the events of the evening to Meng Ziyi, who listened with a startled expression.
"Son, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, thank goodness for Brother Gu."
When Zhou said this, his voice was soft, and the last syllable sound seemed to have a small hook.
A blush crept onto her cheeks, and she instinctively lowered her head.
Then, as if burned by the sweetness in her heart, she buried her burning face deeply, only revealing the tip of her red ear.
"You bastard, at least you put your heart into it this time."
Zhou's coy and hesitant demeanor suggests she's deeply in love with that scoundrel Gu Luojin.
As for the rest of the bathing, I'll ask Gu Luojin later.
After experiencing a fright tonight, Zhou fell asleep early without her having to coax her.
Meng Ziyi went to Gu Luojin's room again to find out the truth.
In ancient times, after a hero rescued a beautiful woman, the woman, upon meeting a handsome man, would have no way to repay him but to offer herself to him.
When encountering someone ugly, they might say they'll be reborn as a cow or a horse in their next life to repay their kindness.
Gu Luojin believed that there were few people more handsome than herself, only a handful.
I thought it was Zhou who crawled into bed, but it turned out to be Meng Ziyi.
"What kind of look is that? You're disappointed, aren't you?"
Holding the sweet and soft Meng Jie in her arms, Gu Luojin certainly couldn't admit it like that.
"This surprises me. Didn't you say yesterday that this was the last time?"
Meng Ziyi blushed instantly after her ostrich-like mentality was exposed; her blush was not the same kind of blush as Zhou's.
"Is there a problem with sleeping in the same bed as your best friend?"
"no problem."
