Chapter 566
Liu Shishi: Your Eye Acting is No Good
……
……
"You two are a pair of adulterers! A pair of adulterers!"
"He insulted me? He actually insulted me because of Liu Shishi!!"
"That ungrateful little bastard!! I should have made him sleep alone in the car and then let someone XXX him!!"
Inside the silver-white RV, Dilraba covered her bright ears in despair and helplessness, watching her sister Mi go berserk, cursing and smashing things, hysterical.
A cushion was thrown against the car door and bounced back; a magazine was torn in half, sending scraps flying; a water glass on the table was swept to the floor and rolled into a corner.
Honey Sister, if not for Liu Shishi, would your brother do it for you?
How long have they known each other...?
From your tone, it sounds like Gu Qing's younger brother has become a heartless man.
As an observer, Dilraba naturally understood the situation clearly.
If it weren't for his sister's sarcastic remark, Gu Qing wouldn't have gotten angry.
Regardless of whether the two of them have a deep relationship, as the person involved, how could you not be angry when a friend comes to visit the set and is ridiculed by others?
"Sister Honey, Sister Honey..."
Dilraba tried to hold Yang Mi's hand, but was repeatedly shaken off, leaving red marks on her arm.
She could only try to ease the situation, her voice as soft as if she were coaxing a child, "I don't think your brother really scolded you, he just..."
"You're still defending him? Whose side are you on?!"
At this point, Da Mimi wouldn't listen to any advice. Her almond-shaped eyes widened, and the tear stains at the corners of her eyes were still wet. "You get out of here too!!"
Dilraba lowered her head, pursed her lips, and left silently, heartbroken.
"pat-"
The RV door was gently closed, and the interior became quiet for a moment.
Da Mimi was initially still angry and threw some things.
But after waiting for a long time, the car was still quiet, and even the closed doors did not move.
She felt panic and fear.
In fact, celebrities of their caliber are all spoiled and blindly fawned over by those around them.
The same goes for Yang Mi.
Given one's mental maturity and age, one shouldn't be too shrewd when dealing with interpersonal relationships.
She can see through who is sincere, who is fake, who is just trying to ride the wave of popularity, and who is setting traps for others.
Having been at the top of the entertainment industry for so many years, and being pampered and protected by those around them for so long, anyone can easily develop a bit of a "giant baby" mentality, and their emotions become unpredictable.
This is also why many male celebrities prefer to date internet celebrities.
With money and good looks, why would he want to be a simp?
They all enjoy being licked. Who would want to serve a "princess" with unstable emotions?
When Da Mimi was suddenly all alone, her anger subsided, and she even felt a little scared of loneliness.
"Baba? Baba Bao?"
Yang Mi tentatively spoke softly, her choked, soft, sheep-like voice echoing in the car.
There was no movement.
With red eyes, she ran to the bed in the bedroom, threw herself on it, buried her face in her hands, and cried uncontrollably for a while.
"Gu Qing, you little bastard!"
"You call yourself my master? You lead the way in scolding your disciple, what kind of master are you?!"
"I will betray my master and my ancestors! I will betray my master and my ancestors!"
"Don't you say you fall in love with every movie you film? What's so special about it?! Do you even know I'm your leading lady?"
Yang Mi tore at a corner of the sheet, hugging a pillow in her arms, mumbling to herself, looking aggrieved and cursing.
"And you, Liu Shishi!!"
"So what if you found a younger man? Didn't you tell me you liked older men?!"
"You lied to me! You were lying to me back then. I knew you never considered me your best friend!!"
"Waaaaah~~ You bunch of bastards, you're all bullying me because I'm divorced and have no man... Waaah..."
She cried for an unknown amount of time, until she didn't even have the strength to curse in her heart.
She lay on her side on the soft bed, tossing and turning. The pillow, soaked with tears, was too uncomfortable, sticking to her cheeks, cold and clinging to her skin.
Yang Mi shifted her gaze and looked at the open cabinet on the wall, where a brand new set of pillows and bedding was folded up.
Light gray, neatly folded, and carrying the fresh scent of laundry detergent.
"Well……"
Upon seeing this, she was about to cry again, feeling wronged.
She even went out of her way to get Gu Qing's soiled quilt, had it cleaned, and planned to send it to him when she had some free time.
That was her heartfelt gesture—though she didn't say it aloud, she still felt guilty for getting the other person's car dirty.
did not expect……
"I'll put it in the trash can for you!!"
Suddenly, Yang Mi felt a surge of strength, sat up abruptly, and pulled all the blankets out of the wardrobe.
The blanket was thick and heavy, and she struggled to hold it, yet stubbornly refused to let go. Just as she was about to give up and throw it on the ground, stomping on it a few times—
"By the way, is he using the blanket I gave him?"
Her movements froze.
"Give it back to me!!"
Da Mimi's current state is like that of a girlfriend in a fight after a breakup, yelling at her boyfriend, "Take off all the things I gave you!"
I know it's childish, I know it's embarrassing, but I just can't control myself.
"Get in my car!!"
Yang Mi forcefully called her assistant into the car and told her to take the cleaned quilt to Gu Qing's RV to get it back.
"Huh? Honey, isn't...isn't that necessary?"
The assistant was dumbfounded when he heard this.
She went to Gu Qing to ask for something? Is that right?!
"Is it necessary for you not to take a salary?"
Yang Mi glared at her assistant, her peach blossom eyes filled with murderous intent. "I'm firing you now, is it necessary? Did I send you to kill someone or set a fire? Are you going or not!"
"I'll go...I'll go..."
As a struggling worker's assistant, I reluctantly and laboriously carried my bedding set as I stepped off the car.
Da Mimi was so angry that her chest heaved violently. She sat cross-legged on the bed, waiting expressionlessly.
Her eyes were fixed on the car door.
ten minutes later……
"Honey... Sister Honey..."
The assistant, clutching her blanket, returned with difficulty and trepidation.
"Where's the blanket?!"
Yang Mi opened her beautiful eyes and saw that her assistant was still carrying the same blanket she had taken when she left. She was so angry that her eyebrows stood on end and her voice rose eight octaves.
"Sister Mi, let me explain. I was stopped by Teacher Gu's assistant. I talked to her about the blanket."
The assistant quickly replied, speaking as if she were racing against time, "She told me: Teacher Gu is taking a nap, and the blankets will be changed back after she wakes up."
"Why should I wait until he wakes up? I want to change it now! That's the blanket I gave him!"
Yang Mi slammed her hand on the bed in anger, the sound of her hand hitting the mattress making a dull thud. "Go now!!"
"I...I understand..."
A bitter smile crept onto the assistant's lips. He took a deep breath, adopted a resolute stance as if facing certain death, and just turned around—
"Wait a minute. You just said Gu Qing was taking a nap in the RV?"
Yang Mi suddenly asked with a puzzled look.
"Yes...yes, Sister Mi, Teacher Gu Qing's assistant said he's taking a lunch break."
The assistant turned around with difficulty and replied, her voice trembling.
"Where's Liu Shishi? Have you seen her?"
Yang Mi asked, her voice suddenly becoming very soft, as soft as the calm before a storm.
"No... I didn't see it."
Seeing Yang Mi's increasingly gloomy face, the assistant's voice gradually became weak.
"Put the blanket down and get out!"
Yang Mi clenched her teeth, her voice trembling, as if she was trying her best to suppress something.
"Oh, okay, okay."
The assistant, however, felt a great sense of relief. Overjoyed, she turned around, closed the door, and fled as if her life depended on it.
"Hehe...hehe..."
Yang Mi smiled.
"Fine, fine, little Gu Qing, you're something else. You take the blanket I gave you and sleep with another woman..."
She feels even angrier now than when she saw her husband cheating on her and cuckolding her.
Sometimes even Da Mimi doesn't understand why her emotions get out of control so easily when she's with Gu Qing.
Do you like him?
Undeniably, there might be a little bit.
Yang Mi considers herself a looks-obsessed person, and when she met a truly handsome man with god-like looks in the Chinese entertainment industry, he was her favorite type: a younger man who plays e-sports.
Whenever she looked into Gu Qing's eyes, she felt an urge to keep staring at him, reluctant to leave.
But it's not to the point where she'd be willing to die for him or refuse to marry anyone else.
After smashing the neatly folded, brand-new quilt to pieces, Da Mimi, panting heavily, finally understood.
It's because "she is kind".
When Gu Qing betrayed her "good intentions," she became furious and embarrassed.
Yang Mi never considered herself a good person.
She paid no attention to outsiders' comments about her being "ruthless," "vicious," or "cunning."
These things aren't a flaw in the entertainment industry—those who aren't shrewd would have been devoured long ago.
When she first met Gu Qing, especially after he became a sensation, Da Mimi still harbored the idea of riding on his popularity and flirting with the handsome young man.
At that time, she
Looking at Gu Qing is like looking at a beautiful ornament; you can use it to post on social media, to create buzz, or to make other female celebrities envious.
But after that Bulgari dinner party, when Gu Qing helped her out of the ridicule and ostracism of those wealthy women, Da Mimi changed.
She suddenly felt incredibly naive—to actually believe she had discovered a pure friendship in the entertainment industry, one devoid of any shrewd calculations.
Yang Mi couldn't understand why Gu Qing would help her, no matter how hard she racked her brains.
What is he after?
color?
She couldn't be happier. She sent him countless harassing messages, but Gu Qing completely ignored her.
That's profit?
What advantages does she have compared to Gu Qingyi?
Definitely a liability.
Her resources are not as good as his, her popularity is not as good as his, her reputation is not as good as his—what does she have that he could possibly want?
thinking about it,
Gu Qing helped her because he saw her in an embarrassing situation; he had no other intentions.
Combined with the attraction between the opposite sexes, even the hard-hearted Da Mimi felt like she was about to melt.
The 85 Flowers (a term referring to actresses born in 1985) were all initially driven by love!
Who hasn't been in the age of being "madly in love"?
Because of this incident, when Gu Qing was maliciously smeared and slandered with rumors afterward, she flew into a rage on her blog, took the initiative to refute the rumors, and fought against the haters.
That kind of thankless task really shocked a lot of netizens.
When has Yang Mi ever defended a male actor like this?
Isn't she just fond of creating scandals?
This is by no means just,
It's not as simple as Da Mimi wanting to lure Gu Qing into the film crew.
Her biggest emotion was that she also wanted to help Gu Qing.
In the adult world, if someone thinks it's not easy to find a close friend, then they undoubtedly value it highly.
This is especially important for celebrities like Yang Mi, who are constantly scheming and plotting in "Empresses in the Palace".
Therefore,
She covered Gu Qing with a blanket, worried that he might be in danger if he fell asleep, and patiently waited until his agent arrived before leaving.
Who has she cared about so much in her life?
Yang Mi felt that she had given all the kindness in her life to Gu Qing.
But now, Gu Qing has "betrayed" them!
It was all because of Liu Shishi.
That former best friend—for the proud Yang Mi, this was the biggest blow and humiliation!
"I can't turn evil, I can't turn evil, I can't turn evil... This brat doesn't deserve it!"
Da Mimi closed her beautiful eyes tightly, her eyebrows furrowed, her slender white fingers pinching her temples, and kept chanting to herself in a hypnotic way.
It also has a touch of chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur) from time to time.
After all, she's a pioneer in the cosplay world.
Back when cosplay wasn't popular yet, she dared to stand on stage wearing all sorts of outlandish costumes.
"Ding dong~"
Yang Mi picked up her phone and saw that it was a notification from Lin Yufen.
"Honey, wake up, be alert, filming is about to start. Shishi will be watching you and Gu Qing film later."
Lin Yufen was unaware of the situation at the moment, and just kept adding fuel to the fire, "Haha, think about how many times you want Xiao Gu to hug you, do you want me to do a few more takes?"
"I……"
Yang Mi was so angry she was about to say, "Let Gu Qing hug a ghost!" especially after learning that Liu Shishi was going to watch, she was so embarrassed she even considered asking for leave. But then—
"If I ask for leave, wouldn't that mean I'm scared?"
"What do I have to be afraid of her for?"
Yang Mi's "evil personality" has come out: "I'll make her watch that brat Gu Qing hug me, I'll make her furious!"
She rolled out of bed and quickly called her makeup team to touch up her makeup.
Unfortunately, I cried so hard that even concealer couldn't hide the redness and swelling around my eyes, as well as my slightly puffy cheeks.
Even with layers of foundation, the dark circles under my eyes are still visible.
When she arrived at the filming location—
"ah?"
Lin Yufen exclaimed in surprise, "Honey, are you really that dedicated? You even thought of putting me in a water dungeon to prevent edema. I really underestimated you. You're so professional."
"what……?"
Just as Da Mimi was about to cover her face, she paused for a moment, blinked her beautiful eyes, and quickly followed up, saying, "Director, I can't lose!"
"Haha, that's right, we can't lose to Shishi. I support you in taking Xiao Gu away."
Lin Yufen laughed heartily; he loved watching plays.
Da Mimi wanted to retort, but she held back, and could only angrily curse in her heart: "Who wants to steal him!"
at this time,
Gu Qing and Liu Shishi appeared, chatting and laughing.
Gu Qing changed into a theatrical costume. The silver-white robe shimmered softly in the sunlight, a black leather belt was tied around her waist, and her long hair was tied up with a jade crown. She looked like a celestial being who had stepped out of a painting.
Liu Shishi walked beside him, wearing a light apricot-colored knitted sweater and a beige long skirt, looking as gentle and graceful as a white magnolia.
One is ancient, the other modern, yet they blend together harmoniously like a painting.
Da Mimi instantly stopped smiling, turned her head away, and only observed out of the corner of her eye.
"Sleeping? What kind of sleep can make you look so radiant?"
"I bother!"
Her fingers clenched tightly at her sides, her nails digging into her palms.
Liu Shishi's cheerful laughter stopped abruptly. Seeing Da Mimi standing in the distance with her hands on her hips and looking indifferent, she silently withdrew her fair hand and stopped playing around with Gu Qing.
Her expression changed from bright to cautious.
"Little Gu, Shishi, come here."
Lin Yufen waved happily.
Gu Qing came to the monitor, and Da Mimi tilted her head even further to the side, so that almost only the back of her head could be seen.
Liu Shishi, however, slowed down a few steps and did not step forward, but stood a little further away.
There seems to be a chasm between Gu Qing and Da Mimi; they are like complete strangers.
One person looks to the left, one looks to the right, and there's enough space in the middle for three people to stand.
Lin Yufen assumed it was Liu Shishi who had come, and the two avoided each other.
She thought to herself: These two are being too deliberate, isn't it?
Weren't you laughing and having a good time while eating?
"Let me briefly explain the next scene. Mimi, you'll be soaking in the water dungeon for a while. When the gate opens above, the wire will carry you up, and you'll fall into Xiao Gu's arms..."
Lin Yufen glanced at Liu Shishi behind him, grinning from ear to ear, "As for the emotions, you can handle them yourselves. Come on, let's film!"
……
Two maids who were playing minor roles took their places, and Yao Guang, the actress who had become extremely well-behaved after being scolded yesterday, began to act with Gu Qing.
She was unusually nervous today; her hands were shaking, afraid that something might go wrong again.
"Are there any disciples of Kunlun Mountain inside the water prison?"
"Lord Mo Yuan, have you been instigated by someone? How come there is one of your disciples in my water prison?"
"We've known each other for tens of thousands of years, so you should know I don't hold back with my words. Step aside!"
"Mo Yuan, Yao Guang reveres you as the God of War, but this is a forbidden area of my Immortal Abode. Without my approval, even the Heavenly Emperor dares not step into this place!"
In front of the monitor,
After Yang Mi and Gu Qing started filming...
Liu Shishi then walked up lively and sat down next to Lin Yu in front of the monitor, watching the images on the screen.
Her eyes sparkled; she didn't want to miss Gu Qing in the shot at all.
"Little Gu is really good. Look at his eyes. When his eyelids are lowered, he looks tired and weary. Anyone who sees him would think that he is anxious and heartbroken because his disciple was lost."
Lin Yufen was full of praise, and didn't forget to say to the person beside her, "Shishi, learn from her. If your eye acting is even 30% as good as Xiao Gu's, I'll be satisfied."
Liu Shishi: "..."
This fatigue and weariness... it seems she deserves some credit for it...
"What? You don't believe me?"
Lin Yufen glanced at Liu Shishi, who was lost in thought and looking guilty, and patted her thigh with a light but firm touch.
"Phew... I believe in my brother's acting skills, of course I believe in him."
Liu Shishi took a light breath, her straight and slender legs trembled slightly with spasms, her pretty face flushed, and she quickly nodded and said.
Her fingers unconsciously tightened around the hem of her skirt.
"Are your legs bothering you?"
Lin Yufen looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"On my way here, I accidentally... got a cramp."
Liu Shishi stammered, her voice barely audible.
Her face turned redder.
At this time,
The camera then moves to a key plot point.
Faced with Yao Guang's summoned sword blocking his way, Mo Yuan directly shattered the sword, repelled Yao Guang, and entered the water prison.
With a "whoosh,"
Da Mimi had wet her clothes and face with water beforehand, her hair was wet and stuck to her cheeks, and water droplets dripped down her chin.
She stood on the platform of the water dungeon, and as the wire pulled her, she lost control and fell towards Gu Qing.
Originally, this scene was performed by a body double. She only needed to wait for Gu Qing to catch her before going on stage and looking up for a close-up of her face.
But Yang Mi refused to be a body double.
As for the reason...
With a loud "bang!"
A heavy headbutt struck Gu Qing in the chest.
That force wasn't acting; it was a real, retaliatory impact.
Gu Qing's eyelids twitched slightly. She immediately lowered her eyes and head, rooting herself to the spot, suppressing the tightness in her chest and not letting out a sound.
Fine, fine, so you're settling a personal score, huh?!
Looking at Da Mimi, who was lying unconscious with her eyes closed in his arms, Gu Qing pressed her slender arms tightly with both hands, as if he wanted to pinch her arms until they left marks.
"You little bastard, you're going to strangle me!!"
Yang Mi cursed inwardly, feeling as if her arm was being clamped by iron clamps, causing her to gasp for breath in pain.
Both of them were enduring it. One was enduring the pain in his chest, and the other was enduring the pain in his arm.
"Master...Master, you've come."
She opened her eyes groggily, her breath barely audible.
Her eyelashes trembled, her eyes unfocused, as if she had just woken from a coma.
The fingertips that were holding Gu Qing's shoulders were pinching his skin through his silk clothes, so hard that the nails were almost digging into his flesh.
"Seventeen, are you... alright?"
Gu Qing asked with concern, each word spoken in a low and restrained voice.
His eyes held heartache, anxiety, and a sense of relief at having found what he had lost.
But if you look closely, you'll notice that the corner of his eye is twitching slightly.
"No...it's nothing, but we were flooded a few times."
Da Mimi felt a surge of pleasure, but she immediately felt the hand supporting her waist tighten.
Gu Qing's hand gripped her waist, his five fingers like iron hooks, pinching the soft flesh of her waist painfully through the soaked costume.
"Seventeen, you've made quite a bit of progress tonight."
Gu Qing looked at his beloved disciple with deep affection.
"Master, I still want to drink peach blossom wine, and I still want to celebrate my birthday..."
After saying that, Da Mimi fainted—another headbutt hit Gu Qing in the chest.
Die, you son of a bitch!
"Seventeen?!"
Gu Qing took a deep breath, looking at his unconscious disciple with a cold gaze.
He bent down, put his left hand around Da Mimi's knees, and lifted her up.
Da Mimi tilted her head again, and after bumping into him, she nestled close to Gu Qing's chest like a little bird.
"Card!"
Lin Yufen's expression was very conflicted, his brows furrowed into a "川" shape. "Let's... let's save one first."
She didn't know why, but even though the two actors were acting perfectly, she still felt something was off.
The scene just didn't look right at all.
There wasn't a single hint of sweetness in the air.
Upon hearing the order to "cut," Gu Qing released his grip.
Unexpectedly, Da Mimi was even faster than him, and she flipped over and jumped down lightly.
The two men, expressionless, walked over, each about two meters apart.
"Director, was there anything you acted poorly just now?"
Approaching Lin Yufen, Da Mimi, rubbing her slightly dizzy head, asked with a smile.
She wished it could happen again; she was determined to break Gu Qing's ribs today.
"Little brother, come here for a second."
Liu Shishi subtly waved, her voice so soft it was as if she were afraid of disturbing something. She hesitated, as if she had something to say.
Da Mimi's smile was slightly faint, and her eyes unconsciously squinted in that direction.
"What tricks are these two up to this time?"
She moved behind Lin Yufen and gently massaged her shoulders and back, listening intently to what was happening behind her.
"What's wrong, Senior Sister?"
Gu Qing gently pounded her chest twice, feeling a bit tightness in her chest, and asked in confusion.
"Little brother, I feel like you weren't quite relaxed just now."
Liu Shishi said earnestly, her beautiful eyes full of sincerity, "Your eyes should have changed a lot after seeing Mimi."
If I were a female viewer, I would most like to see heartache and pity in your eyes.
Your gaze was too cold—especially after Si Yin fainted, when you looked down at her.
She paused, as if organizing her thoughts: "I know you want to express your anger towards Yaoguang, but you should first feel sorry for Mimi and be angry, and then turn cold."
"Only with more emotional changes can the audience understand it..."
Her voice trailed off, as if afraid of being too harsh: "Little brother, I'm not trying to criticize you, I just think this way will be more effective..."
Afraid that Gu Qing would be angry, she hurriedly tugged at his sleeve and timidly added, "Don't worry about me being here. Just act with confidence."
Even the princess carry just now wasn't romantic at all.
You're an actor, your primary responsibility is to serve the script. Don't worry about my emotions—I'm an actor too!
Da Mimi: "?"
Is your brain fried?
Why are you so understanding?
She felt like a demon hiding among the crowd, about to be revealed under the holy light.
Her entire pretty face was dark and she couldn't smile at all.
The words she overheard were like soft knives, stabbing her all over, making her feel uneasy.
Liu Shishi wasn't complaining, stirring up trouble, or being sarcastic—she genuinely cared about Gu Qing and the good of the show.
This made Da Mimi feel that her previous petty thoughts, her retaliatory headbutts, and her spiteful actions were as ridiculous as a clown's.
But she couldn't bring herself to do it.
She could only continue to massage Lin Yufen's shoulders, her fingers unconsciously increasing their pressure.
"Honey, be gentle, my old bones can't take your rough treatment."
Lin Yufen bared his teeth and shouted.
"Oh, I'm so sorry."
Yang Mi quickly let go, but her eyes still couldn't help glancing in that direction.
Gu Qing listened to Liu Shishi's words and remained silent for a moment.
then,
He nodded. "Senior Sister, you're right. I was just being too concerned."
"It's not that they care about me, it's that they care about the play."
Liu Shishi shook her head, corrected him, and then stepped forward to straighten his disheveled collar. She smiled gently and said, "Little brother, you just need to think about how to make the film well."
I hope...you become a better person.
