Ji Qisen did not take Gu Yuan home directly, but went to Nie Yu’s place.
This surprised Gu Yuan. She looked at her son in confusion. When did he and Nie Yu have such a good relationship? No more fighting or grabbing?
Ji Qisen looked calm: “I recently cooperated with his company on a project.”
Gu Yuan suddenly said: “That’s it, I also thought so.”
After arriving home, Nie Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Gu Yuan had returned safely. He turned around and asked Ji Qisen, “How did you ask me to pick up our mother? But what happened? You picked up our mother at this time. You didn’t answer the phone and you didn’t respond to WeChat messages, what on earth were you doing?”
Ji Qisen’s face was expressionless: “I came here to talk to you about our cooperation project. Please speak nicely.”
Nie Yu was speechless: “Me and you? Cooperation project, when did we-“
Ji Qisen raised his eyebrows, a warning flashing in his eyes.
Nie Yu stopped suddenly, realized something, and snorted coldly: “Is that cooperation project worth mentioning? Damn, I almost forgot!”
Ji Qisen was too lazy to answer him: “Mom is tired, let her go upstairs to rest first.”
Nie Yu immediately retracted his anger, looked at Gu Yuan, and softened his tone: “Mom, have you eaten? Do you want to eat something?”
Gu Yuan said hurriedly: “I won’t eat. I’m really tired and just want to take a rest. Also, don’t argue. We are all a family. Since you have a cooperative project, you should cooperate well. Don’t argue and communicate well.”
Nie Yu and Ji Qisen said in unison: “I know.”
Gu Yuan was filled with emotion at the tacit understanding between the two brothers. When they quarrelled, they were like enemies, but when they got along, they had perfect tacit understanding, which made her feel helpless.
Here Gu Yuan went upstairs, and Nie Yu looked at Ji Qisen coolly: “Ji Qisen, why don’t I remember what cooperation project I had with you? Tell me, what kind of help do you need? Otherwise, don’t blame me for running away. I’ll expose you in front of my mother.”
Ji Qisen calmly uttered three words: “Luo Juntian.”
When Nie Yu heard this, he immediately became energetic: “Why, what did he do again?”
Ji Qisen calmly told Nie Yu what happened today, but he concealed the fact that Luo Juntian might be his mother’s son.
Nie Yu looked suspicious, glanced at Ji Qisen, and sat there frowning, lost in thought.
Their mother once suspected that Luo Juntian was her son. Could this be true? Should he tell Ji Qisen about this?
If he knew, would he not fight Luo Juntian with him?
Ji Qisen glanced at Nie Yu lightly: “Are you hiding something from me?”
Nie Yu: “No, how is that possible?”
Ji Qisen: “Really?”
Nie Yu jumped up: “Of course, who am I?”
Ji Qisen chuckled: “Okay, let’s talk about another thing.”
Nie Yu: “What?”
Ji Qisen: “The general manager of Xingying Entertainment is called Chen Mingzhi. Does Chen Mingzhi have a relative who is also a director on the set of “The Legend of Xuanji”?”
Nie Yu: “I know Chen Mingzhi, but as for Director Wang, how do I know?”
Ji Qisen: “You didn’t have to know before, but now you have to know.”
Nie Yu suddenly understood after hearing Ji Qisen’s tone: “That director Wang is targeting our mother?”
Ji Qisen’s voice was cold and he said mockingly: “At the dinner, he wanted mom to drink with him.”
Nie Yu: “What?”
As a prince in the entertainment industry, Nie Yu certainly understood what this meant. This kind of thing was normal in the industry. After filming, all the extra actors and actresses went over to drink and have fun, doing whatever they want for one extra line or a scene.
But he didn’t expect that this kind of thing would almost happen to his mother.
Ji Qisen: “Otherwise, why do you think I came back late?”
Nie Yu’s face turned ugly.
Although he was usually cynical and playful, when it came to the company’s affairs, he would naturally not take it lightly. Otherwise, do you think that holding the position of the entertainment industry prince is so easy?
His fingers slightly tightened and he sneered: “Okay, I understand, leave this matter to me.”
If his mother won’t let him come forward directly, then he will protect her secretly.
In the drama “The Legend of Xuanji”, the male protagonist was the third prince. He was ordered to investigate a corruption case, but he happened to run into the female protagonist Xuanji who had just entered the capital. The two had a misunderstanding by coincidence. Later, the heroine Xuanji was selected as a palace maid, and then climbed up the ladder step by step, becoming the prince’s concubine, and finally ascended to the throne.
When she was still a young palace maid, the third prince, who had resolved their misunderstanding and gradually got to know her, once asked her if she wanted to leave the palace. He could take her away.
Xuanji refused at that time. Later, when she finally wanted to leave, she was unable to escape because her best friend was caught in the whirlpool of palace fighting. Later, she climbed up step by step. When she climbed to the place she had dreamed of, she refused the position, looking back at the man who had been waiting for her silently, she realized what she had missed back then.
In the morning, she first shot the scene opposite Luo Juntian. The shooting went smoothly. There was one scene where Xuanji and the third prince had a misunderstanding. The two almost quarrelled. Gu Yuan got stuck twice and felt that she was not in the right state.
Ning Sanyue was actually very satisfied. Even for experienced actors, it was very common for one shot to freeze several times. Gu Yuan was already better than most people. Since one scene was not shot well, they would take a break at noon and continue to shoot in the afternoon.
While eating lunch at noon, Gu Yuan was inevitably a little disappointed. Starting from yesterday, it was OK for others to call for a pass, but she didn’t. She almost always passed it in one go. Director Ning also said that she had a thorough understanding of the characters and plot, which made her feel that she should be very talented in acting.
She didn’t expect that she was proud just yesterday, and today she was getting cut all the time.
The lunch box didn’t taste good, and Gu Yuan didn’t know how to taste it. She kept thinking about the drama in her mind.
At this time, Lin Lu came over with a lunch box and sat next to her to eat the lunch box.
Neither of them spoke, and Gu Yuan continued to think about what was on her mind.
After a while, Lin Lu finally couldn’t help but ask, “Are you thinking about that scene?”
Gu Yuan nodded: “Yeah, eh, I’ve done this several times, why can’t I do it right!”
Lin Lu sighed softly when she heard this.
In the past, she always felt that why should a newcomer play the heroine as soon as she came on? She had seen the script of “The Legend of Xuanji” before. She had liked the heroine very much at the time and had been aiming for the heroine’s role. Unexpectedly, she failed and the role was taken away by a newcomer who came out halfway.
So she always suspected that Gu Yuan must have some connections, and that was why she got this role.
She even thought that when it came to filming, she would surely be embarrassed.
In any other job, you could get in through the back door. If you don’t know how to do it, others could also help you cover it up. But if you don’t know how to film, if you don’t perform well, the whole crew will watch. Even when it started airing in the future, all the audience would be surprised.
She was waiting for Gu Yuan to be scolded to death.
But just yesterday, she realized that Gu Yuan was very powerful.
Ning Sanyue was not a good-tempered director. If you don’t shoot well, he will scold you. No matter how famous you are, he will always scold you.
But Ning Sanyue didn’t scold Gu Yuan, instead Ning Sanyue praised Gu Yuan.
She also watched Gu Yuan’s play. Gu Yuan was really good at filming. She didn’t even need any skills. The camera was pointed at her and she immediately threw herself into the play, becoming the heroine Xuanji who had just walked into the capital from the mountains.
She was already Xuanji, of course no matter how she played it, because even if she performed more than the script, you would take it for granted, because she was that Xuanji.
This made Lin Lu feel uncomfortable and also inexplicably relieved.
Gu Yuan was young, but Gu Yuan was talented. She was really a natural actor.
It was better to be defeated by a talented person than to be defeated by those inexplicable connections. This showed that as long as she worked hard and improved herself, she would have hope sooner or later.
What happened last night made Lin Lu even more grateful.
She knew what Director Wang’s relationship background was. As an actress from Xingying Entertainment, she looked glamorous. But in fact, when Director Wang asked her to dance, even after she said she was not good at not dancing. If she didn’t obey, she would offend others. If she offended others, what else could she do?
But Luo Juntian came to take Gu Yuan away, and Gu Yuan actually took her away too.
As for those who stayed last night, Lin Lu had some idea of what happened.
She smiled bitterly, it was Gu Yuan who helped her escape.
Although Director Wang was definitely unhappy, at least he didn’t break out, which was good.
At this time, she looked at Gu Yuan who looked a little worried, put down the lunch box, and comforted her: “I received the first film in my life when I was twenty-one years old. I played a little maid at that time. You know the first time I filmed a film, how many times had I gotten stuck on a scene?”
Gu Yuan: “How many times?”
Lin Lu: “Seven times.”
Gu Yuan looked at Lin Lu sympathetically: “Then the director didn’t scold you?”
Lin Lu smiled: “Swearing, scolding to death, so much scolding, it made me doubt my life.”
Gu Yuan thought about the possible scenarios at that time, and couldn’t help feeling a little sympathetic.
Lin Lu: “But I have worked hard to hone my acting skills. I have filmed several dramas and the response has been good. I have gradually gained my own fans. Now I am very satisfied with myself.”
Gu Yuan turned her head and looked over. She saw a satisfied smile on Lin Lu’s face.
Gu Yuan thought about herself and suddenly smiled: “Compared to this, I am so blessed that I don’t know how to be blessed.”
Lin Lu: “Yes, I think so too.”
Gu Yuan burst out laughing: “Why should I be sad? Director Ning didn’t even scold me!”
When Lin Lu heard what she said, she sighed with emotion; “Director Ning really admires you. When his eyes look at you, you don’t know that his eyes are like looking at a rare pearl.”
Lin Lu could imagine that with Director Ning’s appreciation, Gu Yuan’s future would be smooth sailing.
When Gu Yuan thought of Director Ning, she was naturally very grateful. If it weren’t for Director Ning, she would still be studying. If it weren’t for her son, she still didn’t know when she would get her debut role.
The two girls talked and had some good feelings for each other. Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Lu urged her to eat her lunch: “After lunch, we can take a break. We have a lot of work in the afternoon, so I’m sure it will be tiring.
Gu Yuan naturally listened, and took the opportunity to ask her some precautions on the set, and Lin Lu explained them all.
While they were talking, her assistant Xiao Sun came over.
He frowned as soon as he came over: “Gu Yuan, Director Wang said that he asked you to go over your lines again. Why are you hiding here?”
Lin Lu and Gu Yuan looked at each other and felt something was wrong.
Okay, why does Director Wang want Gu Yuan to correct the lines? They didn’t say anything at all this morning.
