CHAPTER 151-175
Chapter 151: Mrs. Fu Was Here
Although Fu Hanzheng did not go to the company, he still had many things to work on at home.
Since Gu Weiwei was reading the script in the living room, he also moved his work into the living room.
Sitting on the sofa, he was reading the files and every now and again, he glanced at the girl who was deeply concentrated on reading the script.
Although they were focusing upon their own work, they did not find it awkward at all. It was not a date for a couple, practically speaking.
After going through some lines from the scenes, Gu Weiwei got up and sat down after pouring herself a glass of water. Then she glanced at Fu Hanzheng and their eyes met each other's.
Fu Hanzheng continued to read the files and asked indifferently, "You drank so much the other day because you ran into Wei Ziting?"
Startled for a few seconds, Gu Weiwei took a sip of water from the glass.
"Of course not, I drank too much because I finished school!"
"But neither of them was drunk, only you were." Fu Hanzheng squinted.
"Alright, alright, I was upset because Wei Ziting is getting engaged with Li Xing'er!"
Gu Weiwei understood that if she did not give him a proper explanation, he would keep asking her about it but she could not possibly tell him that she was upset because of the Gu Family, so she had to use Wei Ziting as a shield.
Fu Hanzheng looked cold and said unkindly, "You courted Qin Lv and now you have lingering feelings over your ex fiancé. What have you picked up at such a young age?"
Gu Weiwei glanced at this jealous man and directly countered.
"Then what is so good about you when you force me to marry you when I am still young?!"
He was so rude to say that she was young and picked up bad habits, yet he himself had tried to take her when he was an old uncle!
Fu Hanzheng signed the paper and said, "They don't like you as I do."
Wei Ziting should be glad that he was not courting her but was engaged to someone else.
Otherwise the Wei Family would lose more than one project with Fu's Enterprise.
Gu Weiwei put down the pen and snorted. "Do you know that you are actually taking advantage of a nice girl?"
Fu Hanzheng folded the files and said to her, as he looked her in the eyes, "If I am taking advantage of you, then you would not be talking with me in this way."
Gu Weiwei gave up and said, "Okay, okay, I don't have anything more to say to you!"
One order from him could decide her life and death and what more could she do apart from pleasing him?
Fu Hanzheng checked the time and said, "Get changed, let's go and get some afternoon tea."
"I am not going." Gu Weiwei shook her head resolutely.
His face could draw attention wherever he went, and if she did go and have afternoon tea with him, it would be in the headlines when the filming started.
Fu Hanzheng was about to say something when the doorbell of the apartment rang.
He went to answer the door when Mrs. Fu's voice was heard.
"Hanzheng, Shiqin says that you are at home, so Ruya and I have brought something here for you."
Fu Hanzheng had just opened the door when Gu Weiwei who had been sitting there a minute ago, was gone already.
He only saw her after he followed her into the room.
"What are you doing?"
"I am not meeting your mother. She hates me!" Gu Weiwei said.
Because of what Mu Weiwei had done in the Fu Family, Mrs. Fu did not like her very much.
If she knew that they were living together, then she would be very frightened and startled.
Meeting her would cause them both trouble, so she decided to dodge them.
"You will have to meet her sooner or later."
Fu Hanzheng had just finished speaking, when Mrs. Fu and Meng Ruya walked into the apartment.
Chapter 152: Babe?
"But not now, we will meet when the time comes, get out of here now."
She had been dealing with quite a lot of issues these days, and if Mrs. Fu and Meng Ruya knew about their relationship... MrsFu would try all she could to tear them apart, and Meng Ruya, who had always disliked her, would spare no effort to deal with her too.
She really wished to spend the remaining few days in peace before heading out for the shooting site.
Displeased, Fu Hanzheng closed the bedroom door and went into the living room alone.
Mrs. Fu came into the living room and asked when she heard the voice, "Who are you talking to, Hanzheng?"
Fu Hanzheng's laid-back expression instantly turned cold and distant.
"I was making a phone call."
Mrs. Fu brought out the fruits and cakes and put them on the table and asked with a smile.
"Shiqin said that you were not at the company today, so Ruya and I decided to visit you because we happened to be in the neighbourhood."
Her eldest son who had never missed work, had decided to rest at home instead. That was unexpected.
Shiqin said that he was spending time with his girlfriend, but no one told her whom Fu Hanzheng was dating.
She had asked her servant Aunt Wang numerous times, but the servant did not tell her anything, not surprising, considering that Fu Hanzheng had told her not to spill a word.
That was why she decided to come and check who on earth the girl was.
Meng Ruya was also being very attentive.
She had not got any information about this woman, so she had persuaded Mrs. Fu to come and check it up.
They did hear a woman talking the moment they entered the apartment.
She looked at the door Fu Hanzheng had just closed and understood that the woman must be inside that room.
Mrs. Fu also took a look at the door and said, "Shiqin says that you dropped your work to keep your girlfriend company, where is your girlfriend?"
Fu Hanzheng was about to speak when a text arrived on the phone on the table - Say nothing!
Mrs. Fu and Meng Ruya glanced at the text on the phone, looking surprised.
It was not about the message of the text, but about the messager's ID - Fu Hanzheng had made the contact name 'Babe'.
Mrs. Fu looked at Fu Hanzheng in astonishment. She knew clearly how cold and distant her son could be when facing others.
He had always been distant towards her and his own father too.
But a man like this would make such an incredible label for that contact?
Fu Hanzheng looked at the text and said calmly, "She is not here."
Immediately, Mrs. Fu was no longer able to accept the special treatment her son gave to that woman.
"You are so busy at the company and yet she still wants you to stay and keep her company at home."
Fu Hanzheng could tell that his mother showed displeasure towards his girlfriend so he frowned.
"I volunteered to stay at home and keep her company here."
Maybe she was right about not meeting his mother right now.
His mother did not like her, and if she knew that they were together, then there would be all sorts of trouble arising.
Especially when they were not in a steady relationship and so any trouble might make the things worse.
Hearing this, Meng Ruya gritted her teeth.
Damned woman! What did she do for him to defend her in this way!
"Ruya, didn't you want to visit the bathroom?" Mrs. Fu looked at the bedroom with it's closed door and gestured with a smile.
"Yes."
Meng Ruya put down her bag and left the living room.
When she passed Gu Weiwei's bedroom, she pretended that she thought it was a bathroom and pushed the door open.
Chapter 153: Not for the Fu Family
Meng Ruya had thought that as long as she opened the door, she could see the woman hidden inside.
But there was nobody in there.
Inside the room the bed and the blankets were obviously used and judging from the style, by a woman. There were also women's cosmetics and skin care on the dressing table.
Damn that woman, is she living here?
"What are you doing?"
Fu Hanzheng looked at Meng Ruya coldly, sounding very lethal.
"I thought... it was the bathroom."
Shivering in fright, Meng Ruya had intended to dig deeper but did not dare to be over the top in front of Fu Hanzheng, so she had to close the door and give up.
Fu Hanzheng was smart enough to tell what his mother and Meng Ruya were up to.
Displeased, he leafed through the files in his hands and said in an icy tone, "If there is nothing else, you should leave. I have tons of things to do."
Mrs. Fu understood that they had irritated him. He might be her son, but he could become so angry that he did not care if she was his mother.
So she threw a look at Meng Ruya and said with a gentle voice, "Then we should leave now. Be sure to come home for dinner, you haven't been back for almost two months."
"Okay." Fu Hanzheng answered coldly.
Mrs. Fu and Meng Ruya both suspected that the woman was inside the apartment, but with Fu Hanzheng there, they simply couldn't do anything more.
After they walked out of the apartment, Mrs. Fu asked, "I heard a voice coming out of the room, but you didn't see anyone in there?"
Meng Ruya shook her head. "No one was there, but..."
"But what?" Mrs. Fu asked further.
Meng Ruya looked at Mrs. Fu with disappointment. "There are many things inside the room that are for a woman, and... she seems to be living with President Fu in the apartment."
Mrs. Fu's face turned dark when she heard these words.
"They have known each other for such a short time and now she has moved in with him! She can't be a girl from a proper family."
She just could not figure out why her son would turn down Meng Ruya, who was born into a good family and who was well-educated, and instead be taken in by a girl who was so vulgar.
Meng Ruya sighed sadly, "But, President Fu likes her..."
Mu Weiwei had tried to approach him shamelessly, but now another woman had popped up and she herself, who had spent so many years next to him, hadn't even been spared a glance.
Mrs. Fu angrily got into the car and snapped.
"A girl so vulgar like that will not be allowed to enter the family. He can have a relationship with her, but he will never marry her."
No noble lady would move in with a man after knowing him for a brief period of time.
The Mrs President of Fu's Enterprise was never going to be a woman who had a bad reputation.
Seeing Mrs. Fu being so resolute, Meng Ruya looked slightly less angry.
She had failed to drag that mystical woman out, so she had to come up with another way.
...
After Fu Hanzheng saw off Mrs. Fu, he opened the door of Gu Weiwei's room.
What he saw was her coming out from under the bed, as she was doing so she banged her head.
He pulled her up and massaged her head for her.
"Why were you hiding under the bed?"
Gu Weiwei adjusted her hair and mumbled, "I did not know someone was going to open the door so suddenly. If I had not been quick enough I would have been seen."
The moment she had heard the sound of footsteps, she had rolled under the bed, causing Meng Ruya to be unable to see her.
But it seemed that Mrs. Fu and Meng Ruya were not here by accident.
They were here to find out who was in a relationship with Fu Hanzheng.
However, what they would never expect was that it was the same Mu Weiwei who had been driven out by Fu Hanzheng before.
Chapter 154: Why Him?
As the two of them returned to the living room, Gu Weiwei had lost the mood to read the script.
Fu Hanzheng also put down the work he had been doing for the time being and looked a little serious.
"It doesn't matter if others like you or not, as long as I like you, that is enough."
Gu Weiwei looked at him. "Your mother belongs to those others?"
Fu Hanzheng did not explain anything more. No one would be able to stop him from marrying who he wanted to.
Gu Weiwei suggested kindheartedly as she showed a flattering smile.
"President Fu, your mother truly likes Meng Ruya. She was born from a very good family and she is a good match for you."
"So?" Fu Hanzheng sounded slightly cold.
"So she is the best candidate for Mrs. Fu, and your parents like her too..." Gu Weiwei said with a smile on her face.
"What about you?" Fu Hanzheng sounded even colder.
"We can be in a relationship for the time being, but not marriage. The Fu Family will never want me to be their daughter-in-law, I have no background..."
Gu Weiwei was telling him the truth.
The Ji Family had become quite dominant in A Land, and Fu Hanzheng would be a very good helper if she was out there dealing with Ling Yan and her family.
But... this man was so dangerous that she could not hold onto him too tightly.
"I don't need to marry people to solidify the future of Fu's Enterprise." Fu Hanzheng snorted coldly.
"..." Gu Weiwei totally lost the words to counteract him.
Yes, he did not need a woman from a strong background to help him in the business field.
Because no one was a match against him.
Fu Hanzheng was the king of Hua Land and no one had a higher position than the Fu Family.
Also, this dominating man was never going to be coerced into doing anything at anyone's orders.
"So, don't think about those things."
"You don't have to think about those things, but I do." Gu Weiwei smiled dryly and mumbled.
Fu Hanzheng stretched out his hands to brush away the hair over her forehead and said with a low tone, "What you need to think about is how you can fall for me as quickly as possible."
He knew pretty well that she was just his girlfriend in name only.
Her heart was not with him.
"..." Gu Weiwei blinked in astonishment.
Seeing the girl's crystal clear eyes, Fu Hanzheng asked, "The other night, you even said that you could not like me..."
"Huh?"
Gu Weiwei felt her head buzzing. What on earth did she say the other night?
Could she have told him everything about the Gu Family?
"Because I am Fu Hanzheng, so you can't like me, why?" Fu Hanzheng prodded further.
He had been thinking over this question for a very long time and still could not figure out a proper reason.
"Because... because you are President Fu, and you are not suited to be with an ordinary person like me." Gu Weiwei explained dryly.
Damn, she was never going to get drunk ever again.
Fu Hanzheng raised his eyebrows. "I'm allowing you to make me yours."
As Gu Weiwei was in the middle of trying to come up with a response, her phone beeped. She read the message immediately.
Master Shiyi: [When is your flight, let's go together?]
Gu Weiwei glanced at the message and replied: [I will be torn apart by your fans if I go with you.]
Fu Shiyi's fans were so crazy, and she was pretty aware of it.
Master Shyi: [My brother can take good care of you.]
Gu Weiwei texted on the sly when Fu Hanzheng was reading the files.
[Your brother asks me to think about how I can fall for him. Is that because you never show him any love?]
That might be why he asked her to fall for him and care about him.
Two minutes later, Master Shiyi replied.
[Are you sure my brother is asking you to learn to fall for him, not to fall on top of him?]
Chapter 155: You Can Continue
Annoyed, Gu Weiwei typed one line back
[Master Three, what if I tell your brother that he is not my type but you are, how does that sound?]
Frightened, Fu Shiyi replied instantly.
[...Please don't]
[I won't go with you, and I will stop talking about how you can fall... on top of my brother.]
If she really told his brother that, he would be killed in the worst way.
Feeling slightly relieved, Gu Weiwei put down the phone and continued reading the script.
However with Fu Hanzheng hanging around her, she found that the day dragged on and on.
Luckily, Fu's Enterprise only allowed him to be at home for a day and the next day he had no choice but to go to the company.
What troubled her was that no matter what she said, he would always come in and share her bed with her. Every single night.
As a result, she had not had a good night's sleep for days in a row and could only make up for the lack of sleep when he was at work.
Finally, the day when she was leaving the capital, for the film site, arrived.
Although she had not slept well for the entire night because of Fu Hanzheng's presence, she still got up when the alarm rang in the morning.
But Fu Hanzheng did not seem that happy.
He gripped her waist and did not allow her to get up so quickly.
"Are you so happy that you are leaving today?"
He had been quite displeased these past two days as she was leaving so soon but she seemed to be very happy that she was leaving.
Gu Weiwei withdrew her joy and said with a sunken face, "Of course not, I am not willing to leave either."
If he ever became displeased and cancelled her trip, then all would be ruined.
"Then you don't have to go." Fu Hanzheng said directly.
"..." Gu Weiwei felt her lips twitching and said patiently, "But I already signed the contract and I like this film a lot."
She truly suspected that this man was mentally disturbed.
When he was giving work to Fu Shiqin and his men, he was not like this, but was instead strict and lethal.
However, when he was facing her, he was totally different.
Silent for a moment, Fu Hanzheng suddenly flipped Gu Weiwei so that she fell underneath him.
"Since you are going to be away for so long, how about I... get something good from my girlfriend ahead of time?"
"Aha?" Gu Weiwei's eyebrows raised.
Fu Hanzheng lowered his head to kiss the rosy pink lips of the girl. The kiss that had been soft and small gradually went deeper as he twisted his tongue with hers.
Gu Weiwei stiffened. But thinking that she was going to be away from him for months without restriction, she did not think that this kiss mattered that much.
But as he kissed even deeper, she slightly pushed the man away from her in fear.
"Fu... oh..."
He had kissed her many times before, but he always stopped at the right moment.
But today, Fu Hanzheng did not stop even though she was pushing him away but continued to kiss her more passionately... Until Fu Shiqin called out to him several times outside the room and heard no response... and pushed open the door.
"You..."
Then he saw his brother with the girl underneath him, kissing passionately.
Startled for two seconds, he said, "You can... continue."
Having said that, he slammed the door and dashed off.
How annoying he must seem to them. His brother shared a bed with her and of course they were not just sleeping on the bed.
He was going to be punished because he had interrupted his brother when he was in the middle of experiencing something good.
Chapter 156: The Long Wind Started
It was a moment of silent awkwardness.
Fu Hanzheng got up calmly, went back to his own room to get changed, looking very pleased.
Gu Weiwei got up and let out a helpless sigh. Then she picked up her phone that was ringing.
"Weiwei, the assistant and I are already here, don't miss the plane, we will pick you up at the airport."
"Okay, I will leave in half an hour."
Gu Weiwei ended the call, freshened up and instead of dwelling further on what had just happened.
At the breakfast table, she had no words to say to Fu Hanzheng.
Due to the important meeting in the morning, Fu Hanzheng only saw her off at the underground parking lot instead of at the airport.
"Call when you arrive, or if you run into trouble."
"I know."
Wasn't he the most troublesome person of all?
Fu Hanzheng closed the door and did not return back inside the apartment until the car disappeared from out of the parking lot.
Without eating breakfast, he asked Fu Shiqin to go with him to work.
At the beginning, Fu Shiqin was feeling happy because when Gu Weiwei was gone, his brother would not give him so much work to do just to keep her company.
But one day passed and he found that he was wrong because when she was gone, his brother once again became the cold-blooded workaholic machine.
He not only worked overtime but also ordered his men to work overtime.
So Gu Weiwei, who had just arrived at the film site, received a call from Fu Shiqin who called her and begged her to return home.
When she was here, his brother might give him tons of work every now and then, but at least he was not this lethal when he made a tiny mistake.
Hearing his babbling for a long time, Gu Weiwei ruthlessly turned his request down.
"Second Master, I have my own matters to deal with, good luck to you."
According to what he said, his brother was like the King of Hell.
Actually, she was also surprised that Fu Hanzheng, who had been so distant to everyone around... could be so exceptionally kind to her.
She had just hung up when Jolin and a young girl arrived in front of her to pick her up from the airport.
"Weiwei, from today on, you will have an assistant called Xu Yin."
"Hello, Sister Wei." The girl bowed to her politely.
"Just call me Weiwei." Gu Weiwei corrected her.
Although the assistants tended to call their bosses Sister something, she herself could not stand it when a girl who was older than her called her Sister.
"Okay, Weiwei." Xu Yin said with a smile.
"Alright, move the luggage into the car." Jolin urged with his sunglasses on.
Xu Yin failed to move the luggage.
Gu Weiwei threw a look at Jolin who said.
"Don't look at me, I am not out here to do laborious work."
Gu Weiwei had no choice but to move the luggage herself when he would do nothing about it..
The three of them had just got into the car and were ready to go to the film site when hundreds of fan girls screamed and blocked their way.
Seeing the boards and the posters those girls were holding, Gu Weiwei saw that it was covered with Fu Shiyi's name and photos.
"So Third Master is arriving here today too?"
"Yes, he is doing a commercial somewhere else and will fly here directly afterwards." Jolin was not surprised by this scene, so he waited patiently for the fans to leave.
Sure enough, not long after, Fu Shiyi's car left and the parking lot suddenly fell into silence.
Chapter 157: Wrong about Face?
Since they were just new-comers, Gu Weiwei and the other two went to the hotel arranged by the film crew.
Xu Yin and Gu Weiwei were unpacking whilst Jolin was telling them about the schedule.
"There is a dinner tonight for the crew, so we can get to know the major crew members."
"There is an opening ceremony at nine tomorrow morning before the filming finally starts."
"I will stay here for a little longer than twenty days and then I will leave to go home when the promotion starts."
....
Gu Weiwei listened as she responded to him every now and then.
She didn't know until recently that Jolin, who looked very unreliable, was actually one of the top agents of Shiyi Culture who worked only for two or three top artists.
He looked quite weak, but he was actually very capable.
"Most importantly, Third Master is also part of the crew, but you better not go up to him or walk with him."
Assistant Xu was a bit confused. "Why?"
Third Master was an artist from Shiyi Culture and they were in the same crew, what was wrong with them taking care of each other.
Gu Weiwei nodded. "I get it, I will be careful."
"Also, most of the supporting roles are experienced and prestigious actors, so you better not offend any of them. It would be best if you can leave a good impression on those senior actors, this can be a good chance for you." Jolin stressed seriously.
Those senior actors were all prestigious stars in the film industry who had had a very high reputation when they were younger, in turn this meant that they had a very wide network.
She had just entered the industry and it was going to be quite difficult for her, if she could leave a good impression on them - they could probably recommend her to other directors.
"Okay." Gu Weiwei was becoming more and more satisfied with this agent.
Jolin nodded in satisfaction. "Then rest for now, I can pick you up for dinner later."
Gu Weiwei saw him off and continued to unpack on her own.
Assistant Xu was helping as she was asking, "Weiwei, why does Jolin stop you from getting care from Third Master?"
Almost all the female stars tried to become the rumored girlfriend of Third Master, but he even stopped her from getting close to him.
Gu Weiwei smiled and explained.
"Third Master has so many rumored girlfriends and they are fighting against each other all the time. Also, I only became popular online because of Master Three, so it is not going to look good if I continue to stay close to him."
If the rumors kept circulating, she would lose popularity. After all, she had just entered the industry.
Xu nodded as if she understood something, as she asked hesitantly.
"But... can I get an autograph from Third Master?"
"Of course."
The two had just finished unpacking when Jolin came knocking at the door and reminded her to put on some makeup for dinner.
She had thought that it was a simple dinner and did not realize how luxurious the dinner was until they came to the banquet hall.
They had just sat down when Fu Shiyi, dressed in a patterned suit, came in.
He came to Gu Weiwei's side and sat down next to her as he glanced at the food on the table.
"Damn, Director Yi is known for being a stingy man, but now, he is spending so much money on the food."
Jolin frowned as he saw the man next to Gu Weiwei. "Third Master can you move over?"
"What is wrong with me sitting here? We are all friends." Fu Shiyi removed his sunglasses.
"Do you want to make Mu Weiwei your rumored girlfriend too? You are not of the same kind, don't ruin her future!" Jolin said.
"How come we are not of the same kind?" Fu Shiyi glared at Jolin.
"My artist is different from you. She became popular because of her ability, not her face."Jolin warned seriously.
Fu Shiyi crossed his legs and said straightforwardly, "Getting popular because of your face is also an ability! Do you know how much hard work I do just to be this handsome?"
Chapter 158: Improper Video
Gu Weiwei. "..."
Jolin stood up speechlessly, "Weiwei, exchange seats with me."
At the beginning, he had not intended to truly bring this artist up, because he knew that he had signed her for some other reason and he did not care much about it.
But now, he truly planned to make her into a star and he was not going to allow this womanizer to do her any harm.
Gu Weiwei obeyed his words and exchanged her seat with Jolin.
Fu Shiyi glanced at Jolin disdainfully.
"Stay away from me, I don't want anyone to think that we are in some kind of relationship."
"I will never be in a relationship with you, even if you are the last man in the world." Jolin sounded even more disdainful.
Helpless, Gu Weiwei held her forehead and wondered if it was really proper for them to talk about such a topic in public.
Fu Shiyi got up and was ready to sit next to Gu Weiwei again when Jolin stopped him.
"Jolin, if you ever dare to stop me again, I will fire you!"
"If you badger my artist again, I will publicize those terrible videos of you!" Jolin gritted his teeth.
Xu was Fu Shiyi's fan and she could only look on at them in disbelief after hearing what Jolin said.
"Terrible videos?"
Could they have been in a relationship before, was it for real?
Not only did Xu think so, even Gu Weiwei looked at them with curiosity.
"What are you two staring at? Those are just pictures of me being dressed in a skirt after losing a bet." Fu Shiyi explained instantly when he found that the two girls were suspecting the two of them previously being in a relationship.
He was a totally straight man who only liked big-breasted and long-legged women, not men!
Gu Weiwei sized up Fu Shiyi and had an idea of the strange images she could create of Fu Shiyi in a skirt.
But Fu Shiyi had always been considered to be a very good-looking, womanizing, man... and if such a picture or video appeared in public, he would lose his image.
Seeing Fu Shiyi withdrawing, Jolin instantly warned him, "We are here for work, don't pester my artist. Or I will publicize the videos of you in dresses! Be warned!"
"You... she got in because of me, okay!" Fu Shiyi got annoyed.
He was just coming over to flatter his future sister-in-law, what was this agent doing here?!
"Yes she did but now, she is my artist." Jolin warned very seriously, not looking like how he normally did.
"You will not have her if I didn't support her before!" Fu Shiyi was not convinced.
Jolin looked around as he gripped hold of this unreasonable man.
"Please, Third Master, don't mess around here. You have the Fu Family backing you up no matter how many mistakes you make here. But Mu Weiwei is different from you. She has to be discreet at every step, so please, leave us alone."
It seemed that he was not worried about his artist experiencing rumors, but was worried about this womanizer annoying his artist.
"I... she..." Fu Shiyi pointed at himself and then at Gu Weiwei.
Of course they were different. She had his brother behind her back, and he did not!
Sitting next to them, Gu Weiwei looked at the two of them countering each other.
"We are indeed different."
"..." Fu Shiyi had no words to counter this time.
Seeing Fu Shiyi lost for words, Jolin let out a sigh of relief.
"I have the videos here, so don't start a rumor of being a couple with her!"
"Me, a rumored couple with her?!" Fu Shiyi was so annoyed that he almost burst into tears.
She was his brother's woman! He would never dare to start circulating rumors of being with her!
He would be flayed alive if he ever started such a rumor with her.
Chapter 159: Prevention
Due to Jolin's prevention, Fu Shiyi failed to exchange a single word with Gu Weiwei.
So he brought out his cell phone and texted her.
[Sister-in-law, I lack money so please loan me money.]
Gu Weiwei glanced at the man who was blinking at her.
Instead of answering him out loud in front of Jolin, she replied on the phone.
[Sorry, I am poor too.]
What was wrong with him? How could he want money from her, when he could get a commercial endorsement for tens of millions of yuan?
[My brother has money, please ask him to loan me 500 million yuan.] Fu Shiyi was asking a great deal from his brother.
Recently, he settled a contract with someone else regarding an international collaboration project and needed an investment.
But he had just compensated a great deal of money to the film with Hollywood because he had taken on Long Wind instead. Therefore, he had very little money left now.
Gu Weiwei squinted at him speechless - he could loan money from his own brother, why is he asking her to do that?
[You can turn to him yourself. He is your brother]
Fu Shiyi looked at Gu Weiwei with a wronged look and replied.
[I did, but he turned me down]
In the eyes of the inhuman brother, only she was close enough to him, whilst he and Fu Shiqin were both outsiders.
Gu Weiwei replied impatiently [Then there is nothing I can do].
Seeing that he could not persuade her, Fu Shiyi suddenly said, "Mu Weiwei, please look at my eyes."
Gu Weiwei looked up at the attractive pair of eyes.
Then that guy squeezed out two drops of tears and his lips twitched.
One minute later, Fu Shiyi sent another text.
[There is! You can call my brother and say that you need 500 million yuan for shopping, then you can loan it to me after he gives it to you.]
Having read the text, Gu Weiwei switched off her phone in front of his face.
"You..."
Fu Shiyi was about to speak to her when Jolin glared back at him, making him swallow down whatever he was about to say.
He was just thinking about how he could flatter her so that she would ask for money from his brother for his sake, when Yi An and the executive director arrived.
Together with them came Li Xing'er and Wei Ziting who drove her here, as well as President Cheng who was part of the delegation of investors for Tiansheng Enterprise.
The executive director took a seat and glanced at the luxurious dishes on the table. "We have so much delicious food because of President Wei."
"No, no, Xing'er is in a movie for the first time and she is not very experienced, she has a lot to learn from Director Yi and Director Lee." Wei Ziting said with a smile.
"Oh, so it is President Wei who treats us to dinner tonight? No wonder every dish stinks." Fu Shiyi snorted, when he failed to flatter his sister-in-law.
Every dish stinks?
The executive director glanced at the man who was speaking and thought that the Fu Family stinked the most of all in the whole of Hua Land!
What did it mean when this boy from the richest Fu Family said that the food stinks?
Wei Ziting's smile stiffened. He remembered that there should have been a very important project between the Wei Family and Fu's Enterprise happening these days.
Everything had gone smoothly when the Fu Family suddenly changed their mind and signed the contract with their opponent instead.
President Cheng of Tiansheng smiled and said, "We are all common businessmen, not as prestigious as the Fu Family. It is such an honor that you can be the lead male role for this movie."
Everyone in Hua Land wished to establish a close relationship with the Fu Family in some way, but Fu Hanzheng always maintained a cold face.
And they were not qualified enough to have a meeting with him either, so they had to establish a friendship with Third Master instead, enhancing their opportunities of meeting the big man.
However, Fu Shiyi totally ignored them. He was busy thinking about how he could make Gu Weiwei call his brother and ask him for the money he needed.
Chapter 160: Sister-in-law's Hands!
Although it was a dinner for the film crew, yet Wei Ziting hired the best catering team in the Imperial Banquet for everyone.
For one thing, he wanted to show off his ability, so that the directors could treat his girlfriend Li Xing'er well.
Secondly, he would very much like to pry directly from Fu Shiyi's mouth what had made Fu's Enterprise change their mind regarding the collaboration, because they just could not figure out what they had done to offend Fu's Enterprise, so that they signed the contract with their opponent without giving them a reason.
Executive director and President Cheng made a toast and Wei Ziting said in a casual tone, "Third Master, we had a collaboration with Fu's Enterprise, but Fu's Enterprise suddenly changed their mind and signed it with Hongyuan instead, I was wondering what was the reason...?"
Fu Shiyi was just gnawing on some chicken drumsticks when he replied, "Because... my brother was very displeased, so he signed it with Hongyuan instead."
You were Mu Weiwei's fiancé and because you ran into her she tried to get drunk and break up with his brother!
When his sister-in-law was not happy, his brother would not be happy either. When his brother was not happy, he would of course not allow them to be happy either.
"...Displeased?" Wei Ziting frowned and said in an amused tone, "President Fu can't be such an impulsive man."
"Well, his girlfriend tried to break up with him that day, so he was displeased and decided not to sign with you guys." Fu Shiyi said and squinted at Gu Weiwei.
Gu Weiwei almost choked when she heard him - why was she involved?
"His girlfriend wanted to break up with him?" Wei Ziting was startled and said with a smile, "That woman is so... dumb to break up with President Fu."
"True." Fu Shiyi nodded. "My brother proposed but she still turned him down. So dumb!"
Gu Weiwei's lips twitched. She had thought that without Fu Hanzheng around her, she could at least have a relaxing time here with the film crew.
But Fu Shiyi was around her and he was the most loyal servant of Fu Hanzheng.
Hearing these words, Li Xing'er asked curiously.
"Who is the lady then?"
Every girl in Hua Land dreamt about marrying Fu Hanzheng who was from the highest noble family, but none of them ever got to see Fu Hanzheng.
And now there was a woman who even wanted to break up with Fu Hanzheng!
Gu Weiwei glared at him and warned him with her eyes that if he ever continued, she would kill him.
Fu Shiyi smiled mysteriously. "That is a secret."
President Dong of Tiansheng had some drinks and kept glancing at Gu Weiwei. Seeing that Xu was gone, he moved seats and sat down next to Gu Weiwei.
"Miss. Mu, it is so promising that you can star in Director Yi's movie at such a young age." He said as he took out a business card and gave it to her.
"If Tiansheng is going to invest in some more movies, Miss. Mu is very welcome to be part of it."
Of course, she would have to pay something back to them to be in their movie.
"No thanks." Gu Weiwei said and turned him down.
Seeing that she was not accepting the card, President Cheng was about to grip her hand and stuff it into her hand.
Seeing the scene, Jolin stood in front of Gu Weiwei and took it from her.
"President Cheng, thanks for your kindness, if the script is good, Weiwei will surely try the audition."
Fu Shiyi was so furious that he almost broke his chopsticks. This damned old fool dared to touch his sister-in-law's hands, when no one else, including himself did not dare to do that at all!
Chapter 161: Damn You, Li Xing'er!
This was a normal thing that was commonly seen in the entertainment industry
Some film investors put out bait, trying to lure in actresses and some actors, so that they would coerce them into getting into bed with them.
And at this very hour, someone had laid such eyes upon Mu Weiwei.
Why would she ever have eyes upon such a greasy old dude when she even turned down his brother?
Yi An never liked being at banquets, so when he saw this scene, he said, "Mu Weiwei, it's late, just go back to the room and rest. The filming starts tomorrow."
Gu Weiwei had wanted to stay on, so she greeted the other staff and returned to her room for rest.
She had not had a single good night's sleep when Fu Hanzheng shared the bed with her the other night.
And she only had a small nap on the plane, so now she was feeling very tired but instead of being able to relax she was forced to watch Li Xing'er showing off her relationship and was pestered by this old dude.
Jolin saw her off to her room and said, "You looked tired, sleep early. Xu will come and wake you up tomorrow."
Gu Weiwei nodded. She went back into the room to put away her things on the bed, sorted out what she needed to use tomorrow, took a shower and was about to go to bed, when suddenly, someone was knocking at the door.
She ignored the knocking as she felt very tired, but the knocking kept on pestering her.
She wondered if it was the dumbheaded Fu Shiyi who kept on asking her for Fu Hanzheng's money when Jolin was gone.
So she put on her dressing gown feeling annoyed and pulled the door open furiously.
"Honestly..."
Before she finished the words, she found that it was not Fu Shiyi who was outside, but a drunk President Cheng of Tiansheng.
"Miss. Mu, there were many people at the table, but now... we can have a private meeting together."
Female stars tended to be arrogant when people were watching them.
But privately, they would always keep the rich and the powerful company in bed.
He had heard President Wang had grabbed hold of a very amazing girl and when he saw her today, she did look extraordinarily pretty.
But Wang Weidong had a car accident and went into ICU before he was able to taste more of her, and he was still in a coma.
Gu Weiwei's face sunk. "President Cheng, you have come to the wrong door."
She would have kicked him down the stairs, if he didn't happen to be the biggest investing representative of the Long Wind.
But now, President Cheng was here for her and he looked very greedy and horny.
"Miss. Mu, you must think very carefully. President Wang is now seriously injured and he may not be able to wake up so quickly... but if you come to my bed, I can still make sure you have a smooth and promising future..."
Gu Weiwei gritted her teeth. Zhou Meiqin could not have told anyone about this affair, when she had her photos on the phone.
So the only suspicious person must be Li Xing'er... damn her!
"President Cheng, I am not patient enough to speak with you now, stay away or you will answer to the consequences!"
President Cheng countered whilst being amused. "Miss. Mu, if you let me in, you will not only go through this film shoot smoothly, but also be part of any other film Tiansheng invests in, in the future."
Standing at the doorstep, Gu Weiwei was thinking how she could punch him without affecting the crew.
President Cheng soon changed his tone and threatened faintly, "But if you keep turning me down, then I can remove you from the crew as easily as how Wang Weidong got you in."
What was this newcomer doing by turning him down at such a great opportunity?
"Is that true?"
Gu Weiwei looked cold, as a touch of lethality hovered over her face.
Chapter 162: Loneliness
President Cheng was startled by the look in her eyes but he quickly snorted.
"So you can sleep with Wang Weidong, but not with me?"
He had never understood why Wang Weidong preferred those young and pretty newcomers but now he understood that young girls who looked tender and tough, were something that could not be found anywhere in other female stars.
Gu Weiwei glanced at the hand that was holding the knob and realized that he was definitely going to try coming onto her tonight.
"President Cheng, it is not convenient to do this in my room, what about somewhere else?"
"Great, anywhere will do..." Seeing her agreeing to compromise, President Cheng could not help but throw himself upon her.
"No hurry." Gu Weiwei reached out for his tie and said, "Close your eyes, and I will lead you there."
The girl's soft voice made him melt.
"Of course, of course, I will keep my eyes closed."
With President Cheng's tie in her hands, Gu Weiwei led that man to another room.
As soon as the door was opened, she pushed the man inside.
"President Cheng is very lonely and he needs someone to take care of him, you are the best."
....
Early in the morning, Wei Ziting was flying back to the capital.
Li Xing'er saw him off and tried to persuade him by saying gently, "Brother Ziting, why not say goodbye to Weiwei before you go?"
"I have no interest in meeting her." Wei Ziting's face sank.
Li Xing'er pursed her lips and showed a concern and worried look.
Seeing her hesitation, Wei Ziting took hold of her shoulders and asked, "What is it?"
"Actually..." Li Xing'er let out a pretentious sigh of concern and said, "Actually, I just hope that you can try to tell Weiwei not to do something bad. I heard from my assistant that she and President Cheng were together last night, and President Cheng is... well, you know."
Wei Ziting's face sunk even more.
"She is so shameless! She was with President Wang first but now she is with President Cheng! Why is she always involved with such terrible and filthy deals instead of being the lady of Longsheng Enterprise!"
Luckily, he had broken off his engagement with her, otherwise he would have been betrayed by her so many times.
"Don't say such words about Weiwei, she must be angry with us so she doesn't want to go home. That is why she has to survive in this way." Li Xing'er tugged Wei Ziting as she said with a soft voice.
"She often listens to your words, please go and try to talk her out of doing this, and then she can go home if she wants to."
Seeing his gentle-looking and kind hearted girlfriend, Wei Ziting sighed helplessly.
"Why do you still care about her, when she wants to ruin herself?"
"After Aunt Mu passed away, she became a very different person after she woke up from the accident and learnt that my parents got married. She did not want to come home. If she continues to be like this, I am afraid that she would fall into the wrong path..." Li Xing'er said as if she were truly concerned.
Wei Ziting smiled after hearing her words. "I am so lucky to have such a kind-hearted girlfriend like you!"
Li Xing'er chuckled shyly and pressed the button on the elevator that led to Gu Weiwei's room.
The couple had just come out of the elevator when they saw the crew members going into a room.
Li Xing'er soon became concerned. "Maybe something has happened to Weiwei..."
Having said this, she quickly caught up together with Wei Ziting.
They two followed the crew to the room and Li Xing'er squeezed herself in with a concerned look.
"Weiwei..."
But the moment they entered the room, they were so dumbfounded by what was happening inside.
Chapter 163: He Touched My Chest
In the room, Fu Shiyi was sitting on the bed with a towel over him.
He pointed at President Cheng who had been seriously beaten and complained to the Director and executive director who had come in, in a hurry.
"You invited me to play in this movie, but before it even starts, this old dude has sneaked into my room..."
Director Yi's lips twitched - he invited himself to play this role, alright?
"I... did not mean to enter your room." President Cheng's face was swelling up and he was babbling.
Mu Weiwei had told him they were going to change to a different place, so he allowed her to lead him into the room, which turned out to be Third Master's instead.
"Did not mean to enter my room?" Fu Shiyi became even more furious than before after seeing that he was still countering. "You touched my chest and you said that you didn't mean to enter my room?" He said as he raised his arms so as to punch President Cheng.
President Cheng shrinked back. One of his hands was suffering from a fracture and he had pain everywhere all over his body but they still did not release him.
Fu Shiyi had punched him seriously, and when he got tired, he asked his agent and assistant to punch him too.
Throughout the entire night, he suffered so terribly and he was even jerked awake by a basin of cold water when he passed out.
"..." Agent Luo Jiaming felt helpless - couldn't he pay some attention to the way he talked?
He was a man and he said that he had been touched on his chest. His angry image would ruin the perfect guy image he had established among the public.
What was more, he had only been touched a little.
And yet he had punched that guy, together with the agent and two assistants throughout the entire night.
Honestly, if he were not from the Fu Family, he himself would have then been punched to death 800 times in the entertainment industry.
It took Li Xing'er a long time before she realized what had happened. So she asked, with a dry laugh, "How did President Cheng end up being...?"
Wasn't he originally there seeking for Mu Weiwei?
How did he end up being with Fu Shiyi and getting punched to this degree?
Her assistant had told her last night that she saw Mu Weiwei and President Cheng walking together but Mu Weiwei was nowhere to be seen.
"I don't care, contact the lawyer and sue him for sexual harassment." Fu Shiyi tightened the bathing robe and towel around him and announced his order.
Luo Jiaming's lips twitched. "Are you... serious?"
"He touched my chest!" Fu Shiyi patted his chest and said seriously.
"..." Luo Jiaming felt so helpless.
He felt that he would live several years shorter with an artist like this next to him.
Hearing these words, President Cheng struggled and explained, "Third Master, I really did not mean to enter your room, it was that b*tch Mu Weiwei who pushed me in..."
"I did not see any Mu Weiwei, I saw you the moment I opened the door and you lunged at me!" Fu Shiyi said furiously.
Li Xing'er stepped forward when she saw this scene.
"Actually, my assistant said..."
Before she finished speaking, Wei Ziting stopped her.
"Xing'er said, her assistant saw President Cheng knocking at Third Master's door last night."
Since Third Master had decided to give President Cheng a hard time, they would put themselves in a bad position if they defended President Cheng instead.
"See? I have a witness!" Fu Shiyi said.
...
Since Wei Ziting was in a hurry to catch the plane, he did not stay for too long.
The moment they went out of Fu Shiyi's room, they ran into Gu Weiwei who came over leisurely with her agent.
Li Xing'er squinted at the girl who walked past her and gritted her teeth, feeling unconvinced.
She had intended for President Cheng to sleep with her and have Wei Ziting to catch them right in the act, so that he could detest her even more.
Then he could tell Grandpa Mu what Mu Weiwei had done, so that their marriage could go smoother.
Unexpectedly, however, President Cheng did not go to her but went to pester Fu Shiyi instead, who was even more difficult to deal with, so much so that now he had gotten himself into a great deal of trouble.
Mu Weiwei, you are really lucky this time!
Chapter 164: He Touched My Chest 2
Gu Weiwei leisurely came into Fu Shiyi's room and saw the badly injured President Cheng and nodded in satisfaction.
She was never disappointed by Fu Shiyi's abilities.
She had meant to do it herself, but thought of how much trouble she could bring herself if she did punch him.
So she pressed down the anger and brought the man to Fu Shiyi instead.
After all, even if this Third Master punched half of the life out of him, President Cheng and Tiansheng Enterprise would never dare to do anything about it.
She took a glance at the door and asked Jolin to join her in eating breakfast downstairs. She showed no interest in seeing what was going on.
It was not until Jolin entered the elevator and saw no one around them, did he ask, "Li Xing'er set you up?"
She texted him about what had happened last night when she returned to the room.
"Don't worry, if she truly wants to have problems with me, I will take the opportunity and pay her back." Gu Weiwei said with a light smile.
She would leave anyone, who did not offend her, alone.
But if someone intended to offend her, she would also take revenge on him too.
"You must tell me in advance, but..." Jolin glanced at Li Xing'er and Wei Ziting who were waving good-bye to each other at the lobby after he exited the elevator, "You executed it well last night."
If she had turned down the biggest investor of the Long Wind and the investor insisted on having the role changed, she might have to quit filming this movie.
But if she accepted the investor, then she would put herself in a bad position later on. So sending that man to Third Master was the best solution.
In this way, she not only vented her anger but also caused the investor to have no way out when Third Master punched him.
He found that Mu Weiwei was much better than most of the top stars he used to manage.
She was obedient, docile, pretty and skilled, and yet she was also very good at dealing with crises.
As Gu Weiwei and Jolin were leisurely eating their breakfast down in the dining room, Fu Shiyi was busy making a fuss about ringing the police and suing President Cheng for sexual harassment.
President Cheng, as someone experienced in the industry, was not a dumb-headed person.
Fu Shiyi was powerful and popular, and if this matter was brought out to the public, nothing good would come of him and Tiansheng Enterprise. Instead, the stocks of Tiansheng Enterprise might also drop tremendously.
Therefore, even if he felt wronged, he had to compensate Fu Shiyi with a great amount of money as a private settlement.
It was not until the secretary transferred the money to him did Fu Shiyi release him.
Then he himself called the ambulance and went to the hospital for treatment.
Luo Jiaming said seriously, as he saw Fu Shiyi who had gotten changed and walked out of the bathroom, "This was just a misunderstanding, and you have been over the top. You are the Third Master of the Fu Family, but don't overuse that identity."
"I have overused my identity?" Fu Shiyi snorted.
Wang Weidong had drooled over his future sister-in-law and he had ended up in the hospital. He was probably going to be a vegetative man for the rest of his life.
Compared to his ruthless brother, he was being gentle.
"President Cheng does have a terrible reputation, but he also knows that he should not make a fuss with you. He had intended to go to Mu Weiwei last night, right?" Luo Jiaming asked.
President Cheng had been looking at Mu Weiwei last night at the banquet and everyone knew that he had the intention of getting close to Mu Weiwei.
"But my chest was touched!" Fu Shiyi adjusted his clothes and said seriously.
Luo Jiaming looked at him speechlessly and threw himself onto the sofa as he said, "Director Yi said that Mu Weiwei is a good actress and so we can probably cook up some Couple news, as a promotional method, in the post-production period, right?"
After all, Mu Weiwei was not only nicer looking but also more skilled than most of his other rumored girlfriends.
They would definitely make a cute couple in public.
In this way, he could drop the title of being a womanizer but also obtain some popularity for Mu Weiwei.
Chapter 165: Too Holy to be Invaded!
"What did you just say?" Fu Shiyi turned around.
Luo Jiaming blinked. "I said that when we do the promotion of the Long Wind, you and Mu Weiwei can be a faux couple. You look cute together and you will definitely create a sensation!"
"No, no, no!" Fu Shiyi objected resolutely.
His brother and Mu Weiwei were in a secretive relationship; so how was he going to participate in being a manufactured couple with her, and show off their love across the globe?
In that case, his brother would flay him alive and send him to burn in hell.
"You helped her and signed her, and assigned Jolin to be her agent, just because you wanted to sleep with her, right?" Luo Jiaming asked.
He spent so much effort to bring her into the company and he even sacrificed himself to keep her safe. What was his purpose if he did not want to be a manufactured couple with her?
"Anyway, I object to that proposal!" Fu Shiyi objected to Luo Jiaming's suggestion without any further consideration.
"Why not? You must give me a reason." Luo Jiaming asked, trying to dig deeper.
He could tell that he kept defending Mu Weiwei but the funny part was that he did not want to touch her. That did not stand in line with his character as a womanizer!
Fu Shiyi thought for a long time and said, "She is too holy to end up being corrupted by me!"
Honestly, he signed her so that she could sleep with his brother, not with him!
"..."
Luo Jiaming looked at him as if he were staring at an idiot.
"I told you that I am not going to have any rumors with her!" Fu Shiyi said.
"But if the Long Wind is going to be promoted by our company, then you two will be the focus. You can't choose to be the manufactured couple with Li Xing'er, she is engaged already, alright?!" Luo Jiaming said.
The promotion was going to be done anyways, and of course they would promote their own artists first rather than Li Xing'er.
Fu Shiyi was racking his brain to explain the reason to Luo Jiaming, when the assistant reminded him.
"Third Master, the opening ceremony has just started."
Fu Shiyi put on his coat and walked out of his room to go to the opening ceremony.
The main crew and journalists were all there, and only he and Li Xing'er were late.
Yi An led his team to burn some incense and did some kowtows to the four directions.
Then the host presented the main crew of the Long Wind and the director and associate producer delivered a few small speeches.
Fu Shiyi and Li Xing'er were the main representatives who also gave speeches and Gu Weiwei, as the newcomer, just smiled next to them and answered some questions briefly.
After the brief interview, Yi An removed the red cloth covering the camera.
Hereby the shooting of the Long Wind formally started.
After the opening ceremony, the actors started to get dressed for the first scene.
Yi An normally required that the first take should be conducted smoothly for auspicious reasons.
Since both Gu Weiwei and Fu Shiyi were dressed in male clothes, they finished with their makeup very quickly. When they were done, they were impatiently waiting for Li Xing'er.
The director's assistant went into the makeup room with the script.
"Gu Changfeng, Tang Shaoqi, you will do the first take, now."
Li Xing'er just could not believe it. She held up her dress and went out, only to see Tang Shaoqi and Gu Changfeng playing the scene where they encountered each other at Ningcheng.
Li Xing'er's agent looked a little annoyed, but she still asked with a shy smile, "Director Lee, isn't the first take always for the two major roles?"
What was this supporting role Tang Shaoqi doing in the first take?
Executive director smiled and said,
"We are not that critical here. An hour more of waiting would cost the crew a great deal of money and so we are just going to film the characters that have finished their makeup first."
Actually, Director Yi did not trust Li Xing'er's performing skills and feared that she would ruin the first scene.
Chapter 166: More Excellent than Imagination
Li Xing'er was not convinced. However, she still went back inside the makeup room to have her makeup completed.
Mu Weiwei might have played the first scene, but she was just a supporting character that was first detested by the novel's fans.
Yi An decided to shoot the first scene where Tang Shaoqi and Gu Changfeng met in Zuiyue Pavilion in Ningcheng.
At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Gu Changfeng, the oldest disciple of Xunyuan Clan was rumored to have obtained the Treasure Map of the Mingyue Group and at this point he was being chased by people of the jianghu. [1. World of martial arts.]
Zuiyue Pavilion was full of guests.
Gu Changfeng poured a bowl of excellent spirit and squinted at the crowd chasing behind him.
With one hand raising the bowl and the other placed upon his sword, he could feel the air of killing intent spreading over the pavilion.
The two people who had taken a stance behind him looked greedy and lethal.
They exchanged a look, brought out their blades and lunged at Gu Changfeng from behind.
In this Zuiyue Pavilion that was full of bloodshed, one plainly-dressed man raised his bottle, sniffed the wine and glanced down at the fighting below.
She was not at all affected by this fighting scene.
Until a flying boomerang shattered her bottle of her wine.
Tang Shaoqi's eyes became cold. She picked up the folded fan and hopped down over the pavilion rail.
The fan in her hands was opened and closed decisively and her moves looked excellent and sinister. She soon joined forces with Gu Changfeng and drove away the assassins.
Gu Changfeng swept his long sword and two more bowls of wine appeared on the table. He lifted the jar of spirit and filled the bowls.
He raised one and passed the other to Tang Shaoqi with his long sword.
"My name is Gu Changfeng, what is your name, Brother?"
Hearing the name 'Gu Changfeng', Tang Shaoqi was startled. She folded the fan and raised the wine, looking cold and sinister.
"Tang Shaoqi."
Then the two of them immersed themselves in pleasant conversation in the Zuiyue Pavilion.
....
The first take of the Long Wind passed.
The Director watched the scene from behind the camera and looked very satisfied.
Mu Weiwei turned out to be more excellent than he had imagined and she had totally showcased the arrogance and sinister feel of the prince of the Tang Family.
Although she was dressed in men's clothes, she did not show any feminine characteristics.
She had presented a very excellent representation of a young man.
Also, she did not need much cultivation and she always showcased and exploited the best angles for the camera.
Fu Shiyi came over to him proudly after he had succeeded in doing the first take.
"See? We did it well right?"
Yi An watched the film and said to Gu Weiwei, "You did very well, you definitely have not disappointed me."
"..." Fu Shiyi was ignored.
"But soon, Tang Shaoqi will develop feelings for Gu Changfeng. It is going to be a very light emotion, so you should watch out for the emotional control when performing. You can't not show emotion, but you also can't show too much emotion as that goes against Tang Shaoqi's own personality." Yi An stressed seriously.
Gu Weiwei nodded, "I get it, Director Yi, I will work on it."
Tang Shaoqi was not a popular role in the book. She could be liked if she played it well, but she could also attract negative comments if she played it horribly.
Fu Shiyi waited for a long time and pointed at himself whilst asking Yi An.
"What about me...?"
"You are going to perform with Lin Qingxue, get ready now." Yi An squinted at him impatiently.
The words had just been said when Li Xing'er came out with a smile, in full costume.
"Director, I am ready."
So she needed to do the scene in one take... An inexperienced person like Mu Weiwei could make it, so, so could she.
No! Actually she can do better than she did.
Chapter 167: Not With Li Xing'er
Normally, the filming started from the internal scenes before going further into the external scenes.
The second internal scene took place at night, when Gu Changfeng and Lin Qingxue were supposed to have a romantic relationship with each other.
Lin Qingxue, the character that was played by Li Xing'er, was the Princess of the Southern Dynasty and was accepted to be the disciple of several masters in society.
After she had grown up, she turned out to be a very elegant and intelligent girl, and was considered to be a prestigious talent in the world.
The Treasure Map of the Mingyue Group did exist, but the real version was not in the possession of Gu Changfeng but instead in Lin Qingxue's possession.
Due to leaked information, Gu Changfeng revealed that he had the Treasure Map, so that all of the enemies and assassins would go after him, rather than Lin Qingxue, who could then smoothly find the treasure according to the map.
After the treasure was found, it would be used as a military fund so that the army could be built up strongly to defend the cavalryman from Mongolia that were approaching.
It was a scene where Gu Changfeng went out and ended up being hunted.
Gu Changfeng packed up his things and was about to leave when Lin Qingxue came over in a hurry after she received the news. She pushed the door open and confronted Gu Changfeng.
"Brother Changfeng!"
Fu Shiyi stayed silent for a long time after he stared at Lin Qingxue who came in, in a hurry.
"Cut!" Yi An shouted loudly.
Li Xing'er backed out and when everyone was at their positions, they did the scene once again.
But Yi An cut them off again at the part where they had just met each other.
"Cut!"
After three failed takes in a row, Yi An asked them to come over.
"Lin Qingxue, you are playing a talented woman so don't make her look so gentle. She has to look intelligent and generous..."
Fu Shiyi nodded and agreed.
"Yes, I feel the same."
Seeing that he was commenting on others acting, Yi An was annoyed and hit him on the head with the script.
"You are the worst! Gu Changfeng is in love with Lin Qingxue, so you must compress the surprise and joy inside your heart and hold the love in your eyes. You must also show a firm resolution to fight for her but you were just like a dumb block of wood..."
Having heard him, Fu Shiyi looked at Li Xing'er then he looked at the director and showed an expression that he just could not do that with her!
He just could not make himself fall in love after facing Li Xing'er's face let alone even sacrificing himself for her.
Unexpectedly, the two of them failed two more takes.
Yi An got so annoyed that he said to his assistant, "Where is Mu Weiwei? Bring her over here."
So the assistant asked Mu Weiwei, who had just finished practicing martial arts with the director, to go to the filming site.
Yi An gave the script to her and said, "Have you gone through this scene? You can show them!"
"Me? Show them?" Gu Weiwei's lips twitched.
She was just a supporting role and she would be seriously offending them if she really showed them how to act out the scene.
"They kept doing failed takes, you demonstrate for Shiyi!" Yi An said.
"But I am a girl, yet you are asking me to show an expression of love to the female lead?" Gu Weiwei felt concerned inwardly.
This was a scene in which Gu Changfeng and Lin Qingxue were supposed to show love to each other, but she had to face Li Xing'er whom she hated and show love to her.
It was way too difficult.
Yi An patted her shoulders confidently. "I believe that you can do it."
Feeling helpless, Gu Weiwei thought that she herself did not even believe in herself to do this thing well.
Chapter 168: Impossible
The constant failed takes had made the situation worse.
In order to make sure the show went on smoothly, Gu Weiwei gritted her teeth and reviewed the lines.
"Then let me try."
Having said this, she gritted her teeth and glared at Fu Shiyi next to her.
He not only failed to act his own scenes, but also caused her to act out a romantic scene with Li Xing'er whom she hated so, so, much.
Third Brother, you are going to pay for this!
Gu Weiwei walked into the set room, made some small preparations and said, "Director, now, let's begin!"
After the respective crew departments got everything ready, the director took a deep breath and said, "Action!"
...
The room was silent, and the candle was flickering.
Gu Changfeng was just packing his things away and when he came to a certain piece of clothing, he showed a small smile on his face and brushed his fingers over the patch sewn onto the clothing.
That was the patch that Lin Qingxue had made for him, when he wore out the cloth when he was practising martial arts.
He finished packing, grabbed the sword and prepared to leave into the night.
The moment the room door was opened, he ran into Lin Qingxue who was in a hurry and a touch of surprise flashed across his eyes and the hands on the scabbard of his sword tightened.
Lin Qingxue sobbed at the sight of his backpack.
"Brother Changfeng!"
Gu Changfeng looked at her in silence and walked past by her.
"Sister, take care!"
Lin Qingxue turned around and called out to him. "Brother, why are you doing this?"
Even the master and the other disciples thought that he had stolen the Treasure Map, but only she knew that the real map was in her possession.
Gu Changfeng's back still faced her and he said, "For the safety of our Xuanyuan Group, for the safety of Central Plains and for..."
He ceased his words and did not continue speaking the words he had hidden in his heart.
He pressed down the last line of 'for your sake' between suppressed sobs.
He would become a traitor once he left and he would also become hunted by everyone in the world... and it was unlikely that he would ever be able to make it back.
He glanced sideways and looked at the shadow of Lin Qingxue stretched out on the floor and disappeared into the darkness.
....
Director's face, which had been stiff for hours, finally showed a smile.
"See? That is what Gu Changfeng should be like, a man who hides Lin Qingxue deep inside his heart."
Gu Changfeng was an orphan adopted by the Xuanyuan Group in the movie and Lin Qingxue was the Princess, smart and pretty as well as talented.
He adored her, but she was someone Gu Changfeng would never be able to be with.
He cherished everything that she gave him and he was willing to die for her sake.
So even if he wanted to take a last look at her, he still only looked at her shadow instead.
That was what 'a hidden love' meant.
Also, she was a girl yet she had managed to demonstrate how a man in love should be like.
If the two lead roles could be half as gifted and intelligent as she was, he would have been pleased long ago.
Fu Shiyi was startled and looked at Gu Weiwei who had just finished the demonstration.
He was of course aware of her grudge against Li Xing'er.
He was so surprised by how a woman could show such a strong emotion of love, when facing a woman she herself hated so much.
Li Xing'er was someone who was even more startled than Fu Shiyi was.
Of course she had not been willing to act out the scene with Mu Weiwei but the moment she opened the door and saw Gu Changfeng being played by that girl, she seemed to be dominated by an intangible power that made her instantly become the role of Lin Qingxue
Was Mu Weiwei that skilled in acting?
No, that was impossible.
She was just a newcomer who had never learned acting and she couldn't even be compared to her who had been in the industry for a whole year.
Chapter 169: Secret
After Yi An praised Gu Weiwei he said to Li Xing'er,
"You were in the right state just now and you were fully able to grasp how to portray Lin Qingxue."
"Thank you, Director." Li Xing'er smiled and bowed to him as she said to herself inwardly, "It must have been herself who had found the right moment so that Mu Weiwei then followed right?'
Otherwise how would it be possible for Mu Weiwei to bring her into the right moment.
Gu Weiwei, having finished the performance, walked up to Yi An and whispered, "Director Yi, please don't make me play a male role with a woman alright? It is truly... terrifying."
Yi An smiled as he patted her shoulder. "Alright, everything is fine now, you can go back and rest."
Gu Weiwei went to remove her makeup, got into the car and returned to the hotel with Jolin and her assistant.
Jolin gave her a bottle of water and said with a smile, "That must have been hard for you."
He was worried that she would have been disgusted at performing a romantic scene with Li Xing'er.
Gu Weiwei drank the water, after she took it from him, and said, "Brother Jolin, if myself and Third Master practise acting or scenes together, you will allow it right?"
After all, her future would be affected, if the male and female lead roles could not play their roles well and the film ended up getting a terrible box office review.
Jolin thought of how Fu Shiyi had helped her the night before and nodded unwillingly.
"Just practising and nothing more."
He understood that she would like to teach Third Master how to perform well as the male lead.
With Gu Weiwei's demonstration as a reference, Fu Shiyi after performing two takes finally completed the scene.
When they returned to the hotel, it was already one in the morning.
The moment he entered the room, he received Fu Hanzheng's long-distance phone call.
"Where is Weiwei?"
"I am not here to constantly keep an eye on your girlfriend! You can call her yourself if you want to find her." Fu Shiyi collapsed onto the bed, feeling feeble.
He had become extremely tired after failing so many takes.
"The calls aren't going through." Fu Hanzheng said coldly.
Hearing the words, Fu Shiyi flipped over and sat up as he smiled sinisterly.
"Then give me 500 million yuan and I will help you to find your girlfriend."
Fu Hanzheng's tone chilled on the other side of the phone.
"You can refuse to find her, but in turn you will never be allowed to return to the capital anyways."
Although they were hundreds of miles apart, Fu Shiyi still could feel the chill in his brother's voice attacking him. He got up and knocked on Gu Weiwei's door with tears in his eyes.
"My brother is on the phone."
Gu Weiwei was not very pleased to have been woken up, so she took over the phone and asked, "What is it?"
"Why is the call not going through?" Fu Hanzheng asked. He didn't use the same tone as he did when he was talking to Fu Shiyi a minute ago.
"I was too busy and the phone ran out of battery." Gu Weiwei said.
She would never say that she switched off her phone on purpose.
"How is everything going?"
"All is well, everyone is taking great care of me." Gu Weiwei started dozing off and her eyes were half open.
Fu Hanzheng could tell that she was very tired, and he also understood that he should not have called her so late at night.
But he just missed her way too much, that was why he asked Fu Shiyi to find her so that he could hear her voice.
"Sleep now, I will call you tomorrow, and never switch off your phone."
"Okay." Gu Weiwei answered lazily.
Seeing that they had finished talking, Fu Shiyi grabbed back the phone and said, "Brother, what about the money? Brother?!"
He got so annoyed that he almost smashed the phone. Couldn't he just give him some familial help?
"Mu Weiwei, I saved you last night, why are you not paying me back by asking my brother to loan me money."
"If you don't leave now, I will call your brother and say that you want to spend the night with me, here, in my bedroom."
Gu Weiwei threw herself onto the bed and was too lazy to keep her eyes open for another second.
"You..." Fu Shiyi was so annoyed that he stood by her bed and said, "What about I tell you a secret of my brother's in exchange for you asking him to send me some money?"
"Not interested." Gu Weiwei snorted.
Fu Shiyi smiled mystically and said, "Are you not interested in why my brother is so interested in you?"
Chapter 170: Secret 2
Gu Weiwei opened her eyes and asked, self-responsively, "Why?"
"Ask my brother for the money and I will tell you." Fu Shiyi said with smiling eyes.
Gu Weiwei thought for a moment and continued to go back to sleep.
"Then you can leave."
"You really don't want to know about it?" Fu Shiyi asked, his voice full of temptation.
Gu Weiwei tossed a pillow at him. "No!"
She was indeed a bit curious as to why Fu Hanzheng suddenly had an interest in her but what could she do if she knew about it? She could not break up with him anyways!
"If you don't want to know about it now, then don't turn around to me and beg me for the answer later on. Only I know about it, not even my Second Brother has any idea about it." Fu Shiyi was not convinced and kept luring her curiosity.
Impatient, Gu Weiwei reached out for her phone and said, "If you don't get out of here, then I will call him."
"Okay, okay I will leave now. If you don't ask me now, don't ever regret it." Fu Shiyi was afraid that she would call his brother for real so he left in a hurry.
Gu Weiwei put down the phone but she was no longer feeling sleepy because of Fu Shiyi's messing around.
Why did Fu Hanzheng fall for her?
At the beginning she thought that it was because Mu Weiwei had slept with him and he had tasted the fun of it and so, had started to crave for it.
That was why he kept trying to keep her by his side so he could continue to taste her body but they had shared the same roof and the same bed and even though sometimes he stiffened in that part, he still did not do anything to her.
Obviously, he was not there for her looks or for her body.
But if it was because of her real soul as Gu Weiwei... no, Fu Hanzheng was a very cold and self disciplined person, he would never fall for her in such a deep way just because of some of the things she had done.
So what was Fu Shiyi talking about anyways?
Ah, he was so annoying to have told her only half of the story.
It took her almost an hour to fall asleep again, after she had racked her brain thinking about the answer to Fu Shiyi's question.
Luckily, she did not need to get up that early the following morning due to the schedule.
The moment she got up, a text message arrived.
[You must give me at least one or two calls a day]
Fu Hanzheng sent the text and apparently he had been very annoyed by her not answering his calls these two days.
Gritting her teeth, she texted back.
[Understood, just focus on your work and eat well]
He had control over her freedom and if she did not pamper him well enough...
He might come to the site himself or get someone to bring her back. She wanted neither of these things to happen.
Therefore, she had nothing else she could do apart from pampering him well.
Gu Weiwei replied and suddenly thought that Jolin kept possession of her phone when she was working.
What if Fu Hanzheng texted and Jolin caught sight of it... Then that would cause a huge problem.
No, she must change Fu Hanzheng's name on her phone... it should also be a name that if outsiders saw it, they wouldn't think that it was her boyfriend.
After thinking for a long time, she changed the name of the phone contact and WeChat contact.
After she had finished the modifications, the assistant knocked on her door and reminded her to eat breakfast.
The breakfast at the hotel was a buffet and she had just picked up her food and sat down when Fu Shiyi came over with his plate.
He was about to say something to her, when a WeChat text arrived on her phone.
[I will visit you when I have time]
Seeing the text on WeChat, Fu Shiyi almost choked on the steamed buns he had taken a bite off and could not get it down until a little while later.
"Baby Zheng? Hahahaha, is that...?" Fu Shiyi wad so amused that he struck the table fiercely.
Is that my brother?
"Oh yeah." Gu Weiwei squinted at him.
If she only typed one Zheng, no suspiciousness would arise.
Also, when she added 'baby' in front of it, she would indicate that it was from a very good girl friend. That was how Ji Cheng called her and Qianqian.
Therefore, she could just say that the texts were from a good friend, with the nickname of Baby Zheng, whenever she received some flirty messages when she was working.
Chapter 171: A Baby
Fu Shiyi kept laughing for almost half an hour because of 'Baby Zheng'.
On the way to the film site, he could not help but call his brother who was in the capital city and tell him what had happened.
Since he thought that he was probably going to tell him about his girlfriend, Fu Hanzheng put down whatever he was busy with and answered his call.
"Brother, do you know... what your girlfriend has named you as in her contacts?"
"What?" Fu Hanzheng was too lazy to guess.
He knew that she had labeled him as 'Fu Hanzheng the Demon'.
After a moment of wild laughter, Fu Shiyi said, "She labeled you as Baby Zheng hahaha, not Hanzheng..."
"When people see that name and ask her who it is, she says that it is her girl best friend..."
...
His brother was really in a low position as her boyfriend.
"Done?" Fu Hanzheng asked.
"...More or less."
Fu Hanzheng ended the call and smiled lightly.
At least, the name contained 'baby'. That was a good sign.
Since Tang Shaoqi did not have much internal scenes and the director was busy with the two lead roles, Gu Weiwei had some free time.
Apart from practising martial arts with the Martial Arts Director, she also practised lines with other supporting roles.
However, the shoot this afternoon went terribly.
Fu Shiyi and Li Xing'er kept failing their takes and Yi An was not very happy, so the entire team was in a bad mood.
They had intended to film five scenes, but Li Xing'er and Fu Shiyi only completed two scenes that were barely satisfactory.
In the afternoon, the director's assistant came to inform Gu Weiwei that they had decided to film the scene when Tang Shaoqi met with Yelv Nan, the Third Prince of the Jin State.
She and Xu Ze, the actor for Yelv Nan were just in the middle of makeup when Fu Shiyi came in and threw himself into the chair, looking distressed.
"Xu Ze, what about we change roles, with you playing Gu Changfeng and I the Third Prince? I think I look more like a prince than you do."
Damn it, he almost dropped dead after facing Li Xing'er and trying to show some love towards her.
What made him steal the lead role? He should have stolen the supporting role!
As the supporting role, he would not need to face Li Xing'er but also get to take care of his brother's girlfriend.
"Third Master, please, I don't want to be cursed by your fans." Xu Ze burst into laughter.
Having finished with their makeup, Gu Weiwei and Xu Ze hurried to the film site, where they saw Director Yi who had a long face.
Luckily, she and Xu Ze were both in a good state and passed the first take in one go.
The day's work finished after they had finished filming, but Fu Shiyi was still at the site as he had to stay and film overnight.
She removed the makeup and was eating dinner at the hotel when the phone rang.
Seeing the caller's name on the screen, she knew that Fu Hanzheng was calling her now.
"Everything went well today?"
Gu Weiwei removed her shoes and threw herself onto the bed.
"Yes, all went well."
"Your birthday is next month, are you able to make it back?" Fu Hanzheng asked.
Startled, Gu Weiwei suddenly realized that Mu Weiwei's 19th birthday was approaching.
"Probably not, but I may have the celebration here, with the team instead."
Silent for a second, Fu Hanzheng replied with an, "Okay."
The two were not talkative people, so they soon became silent.
Gu Weiwei suddenly remembered the words that were spoken by Fu Shiyi the day before, so she asked of her own accord, "Fu Hanzheng... what made you fall for me all of a sudden?"
Chapter 172: Li Xing'er Again
Startled, Fu Hanzheng stayed silent for a moment and then said with a low and flirty voice, "You really want to know about it?"
"Yes." Gu Weiwei had indeed become curious.
Fu Hanzheng chuckled. "Then come back to me as soon as possible."
"..." Gu Weiwei's lip corners twitched.
She was not that bored to do this kind of thing.
"I need to wash up now, bye."
Fu Hanzheng was unwilling to hang up but he still ended the call, not wanting to disturb her rest.
Gu Weiwei washed herself and got up early in the morning as usual, and soon got adapted to the life on site.
After half a month, Jolin left the crew for the capital to do the upcoming promotion work.
At first, she had thought that there would be multiple conflicts between her and Li Xing'er, since they were on the same film set but Li Xing'er was too busy maintaining her appearance as a lady, in front of the public eye, to make any mess.
Also, Tang Shaoqi barely needed to meet Lin Qingxue, and apart from makeup time, they barely ran into each other.
Soon, one free and leisurely month flew by.
Finally, the scene in which Tang Shaoqi and Lin Qingxue were supposed to be together took place. After Tang Shaoqi became the Third Prince's subordinate, the Jin State and Mongolia were united and together, they were going to go and take control of the Central Plains of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Since Lin Qingxue was always in the joined forces with the martial arts masters of the society, to defend the Jin State and Mongolia, Tang Shaoqi was on a mission to kill Lin Qingxue. After she had finished off the members of the Xuanyuan Group, Gu Changfeng appeared to save the girl.
Since it was a huge scene, Yi An had high demands for it, so he asked them to finish the martial arts practise ahead of time.
After the practise, Li Xing'er came over to practise with her.
Since everyone was present, she did not turn her down.
At the beginning, it was Lin Qingxue and the killers of the Jin State who were in the fight and after the extras were all done, Tang Shaoqi appeared and was supposed to wound Lin Qingxue seriously.
Gu Weiwei lunged forward with the sword, and according to the script, Lin Qingxue should dodge it, but Li Xing'er was one step slower and the sword went into her arm.
It was a tool, after all, so Li Xing'er's arm still bled a bit.
"What is going on?"
"What are you doing?"
...
The director and the crew members were here and found that the wound was not serious. So they were relieved.
"Sorry, I was distracted, not her fault." Li Xing'er had hands over the wound and said open-mindedly.
Not my fault?
Gu Weiwei raised her eyes - so she was supposed to be blamed, when she herself did not follow the script?
"Xing'er, go back to the hotel to rest, you've finished your work for today already."
Having said this, Yi An told Li Xing'er's agent and assistant that she should take good care of the wound in case an affection arose.
Gu Weiwei and the other actresses remained on site and filmed some more scenes before returning to the hotel.
Xu asked, "Weiwei, should we go and visit Li Xing'er?"
"No need." Gu Weiwei said coldly.
She followed the script, but that woman did not. It was not her fault.
Also, it was just a scrape, nothing serious.
She returned to the hotel, had a phone call with Fu Hanzheng and washed herself up, before getting ready for bed.
The dawn had just broken when Jolin called her from the capital.
"Weiwei, it is Li Xing'er again, check out Weibo."
Gu Weiwei sat up. "What is it?"
Jolin sighed and said, "Just go and check her Weibo, then you will know."
Chapter 173: Abilities
Gu Weiwei hung up and opened Weibo on her phone; she went onto Li Xing'er's personal page.
Then she saw the two most recent posts by her. One was a clip in which Li Xing'er was injured by her.
In the video, Li Xing'er was injured by her and then many people from the crew went up to see how she was doing.
Only she was standing still without showing any care.
Then her next post was [I am not skilled enough].
Two pictures were attached, one of which showed her wound and the other a selfie with a sad face.
In the comments section, large groups of Li Xing'er's fans were concerned about her and were cursing the person who wounded her.
Gu Weiwei logged onto her own Weibo and found that on the recent post, Li Xing'er's fans' comments covered up the entire page.
[You are just an internet star who should never make movies].
[You didn't even apologize to her when you injured her?]
[You did that on purpose, right?]
[Didn't your mother teach you how to apologize when you injure someone?]
...
She scrolled down a few pages worth and showed a sneer on her face. There were some comments left by the fans of the original novel on the Long Wind.
[Tang Shaoqi played by an internet star? Honestly?]
[Li Xing'er is good at performing and we look forward to when she plays Lin Qingxue.]
[But this supporting role has nothing more than a pretty face.]
...
Before she finished reading the comments, Jolin called her again.
"A TV-series played by Li Xing'er is on air recently and her Weibo post is becoming more and more popular. This will be very bad for our original promotional plan."
She had formed a proper image online as the Black Swan through live-streaming.
And Li Xing'er was quite popular among her fans due to the two soap operas she had been in these past few days.
Now when she posted two Weibo posts and her fans as well, as the bots kept writing mean stuff, people would establish a bad image of Mu Weiwei before the movie was even aired and considering that she was just an internet star without any proven abilities...
Also, if the fussing carried on, some rumors might start to appear that she had obtained the role of Tang Shaoqi, through unfair means.
Gu Weiwei pursed her lips and realized that Li Xing'er did it on purpose and she had even asked her assistant to record the video too.
"I will call Third Master and let him do something to supress Li Xing'er's post." Jolin said.
Gu Weiwei thought for a while and asked, "The media visit the day after tomorrow... will there be any trustworthy journalists there?"
"Of course, several media companies want to have a peek at Third Master." Jolin said. He then curiously asked, "Why? Is it anything to do with what is happening now?"
"He doesn't need to do anything, I can make a fuss." Gu Weiwei said as she showed a cold smile.
"What do you mean?" Jolin was startled.
Gu Weiwei lifted the blanket, got up and headed into the bathroom to wash up as she said, "If she wants to cause me trouble, I will make sure she pays me back at least three times more."
Jolin was not quite convinced." What do you plan to do?"
"You will know the day after tomorrow." Gu Weiwei smiled and ended the call, instead of telling Jolin anything more.
She got up and ate breakfast and happened to run into Yi An who also got up early. He heard about what had happened on Weibo and came over to console her.
"Don't think too much about Weibo, alright?"
"Okay." Gu Weiwei smiled and nodded.
"Play your role well, and when the movie is released, your abilities will speak louder than anything else."
Chapter 174: A Slap Across the Face
Although the mess online was not that advantageous for Gu Weiwei, most of Li Xing'er's fans were still looking forward to the movie, which was a positive promotion for the whole team.
Li Xing'er's agent was in the promotion team of the Long Wind, so the official account of the Long Wind conducted positive interactions with Li Xing'er on Weibo, by posting some pictures that showed Li Xing'er's hardworking practise.
So, Li Xing'er's image of being a very diligent actress was now going around, flooding the internet.
Even some important figures also wrote some posts and made a list of what Li Xing'er had achieved so far, speaking extremely highly of her.
In the meanwhile, Gu Weiwei was said to have gained the role through improper methods.
Then Shen Qiu also posted a very vague post, indicating that she also tried for the role of Tang Shaoqi but missed it.
Therefore, Gu Weiwei's Weibo was filled with large numbers of terrible comments within a single day.
[Just stay as an internet star, are you trying to ruin the movie?]
[Who do you think you are that you can play the role of Tang Shaoqi?]
[How much money did you spend on doing the plastic surgery on your face?]
[I am curious how long she has been the mistress of someone so that she could steal Shen Qiu's role?]
....
But none of these things affected the crew, and everyone was making the movie at a normal pace.
Gu Weiwei was not influenced by the mean words online. She passed every scene in one take, fast and with good performance.
She was not doing anything, when Jolin in the capital started to get worried as he saw the mean comments increasing on her Weibo.
So when she finished work, late at night, he made a phone call to her.
"Some important figures are helping Li Xing'er. Apparently they have hired some people to do the job."
"Shen Qiu also indicated that she went to audition as Tang Shaoqi, and now you are getting so many mean comments."
...
It was the first time for him to run into an artist who had received so many mean comments before she even hit the public scene.
Originally, Black Swan had a very good image online, and she should have received a great number of fans due to her beautiful appearance. Also, when the movie was released, she would have been considered as capable too.
But now, Li Xing'er had made a fuss so that she had received so many mean comments before the movie was even released.
The fans who had followed her due to Black Swan incident, started to unfollow her these past few days and even started to make mean comments about her too.
"Well, just leave it as it is, we will turn the table around one day." Gu Weiwei was quite calm.
"Maybe we can try doing a manufactured story with Master Three." Jolin said.
The point was that Mu Weiwei had just appeared in public as a newcomer and she didn't have a fan base, so she was put in a very passive position in this matter.
"No need, being a manufactured couple with him would cause more mean comments from his fans." Gu Weiwei turned down that idea immediately.
Fu Shiyi and his fans were way too crazy for her to hold still.
"Then what should we do? The media visit is tomorrow and Li Xing'er's fans will be there too. You must watch out." Jolin said.
Some fans could do bad things to other artists that they disliked.
"I get it, I will be very careful." Gu Weiwei checked the time and said, "I have some important scenes to shoot tomorrow, so I need some rest now."
"What do you plan to do tomorrow, please tell me now." Jolin asked anxiously.
Standing by the window, Gu Weiwei looked down at Li Xing'er who was busy practising martial arts and showed a sinister smile.
"Of course it will be... a slap across her face."
Chapter 175: Wait and See
In the morning, the crew finished the filming and after having lunch, the visiting media and fans arrived on site.
However, most of the fans were Li Xing'er's and Fu Shiyi's. They offered them flowers and food, surrounding them tightly to ask them questions, on how things were going on with them.
Gu Weiwei needed to have a new outfit change and so she did not leave the makeup room until the assistant announced that the filming would start shortly.
The moment she came out, two girls rushed out of Fu Shiyi's fan group and clung on to her suddenly.
"Weiwei!"
"Goddess!"
With one hand holding the mask, Gu Weiwei stared at the two of them in surprise.
"Cheng, Qianqian, what are you two doing here?"
"I am here to visit you and to also celebrate your birthday with you too." Luo Qianqian said.
Ji Cheng sized her up in astonishment and felt the costume she was wearing. Ji Cheng's eyes were shining brightly.
"Goddess, you look so great in guy's clothes."
Luo Qianqian squinted at her speechlessly. "Don't be an idiot okay, she is a girl."
"But she looks so good after all!" Ji Cheng just couldn't conceal her admiration towards her.
"When did you guys arrive? Have you found a place to stay?" Gu Weiwei asked as she looked at them.
"Last night, we were here too late, so we did not call you. But we are staying at the hotel opposite the film site!" Luo Qianqian was not as excitable as Ji Cheng but she still looked very joyful.
"Did you get the enrollment certificate?" Gu Weiwei asked.
"Yes, we both made it in!" Ji Cheng said excitedly.
The three of them were just talking happily when two girls came over with things in their hands and gave them to Gu Weiwei.
"Xing'er asked us to share the pastries with the crew members and so we are giving you one of them."
"Xing'er is pretty and kind-hearted enough not to cause you any trouble, but we still haven't forgiven you for hurting her!"
They sounded as if they were offering her something out of their greatest mercy.
Gu Weiwei took a look at it and said politely, "Sorry, but I don't like sweet things."
You never knew if there was something weird within the desserts.
"You must accept it, even if you don't eat them because they are given by Xing'er. Are you too impolite to not know this?" The girl with shoulder length hair snapped at Gu Weiwei.
"You are just an internet star with a plastic-surgery face, and yet you consider yourself to be a superstar?" The other girl sneered too.
She would not be able to become a star after receiving so many mean comments online.
"Your mouth stinks! Did you forget to brush your teeth?" Ji Cheng countered in annoyance.
The two girls glanced at Ji Cheng and Luo Qianqian as they sneered.
"You are blind enough to become a fan for an internet star like her, who has no popularity and no ability."
"You..." Ji Cheng was about to counter her when Gu Weiwei stopped her.
"Oh right, I am not skilled or popular, and I need to take Xing'er, the senior, as a role model!"
Gu Weiwei said with a light smile.
"Take her as a role model?" The girl with shoulder length hair snorted. "Don't you know how little of a gift you have? You won't be able to learn a single thing because you have no gift."
"Of course, of course, Xing'er the senior is the best." Gu Weiwei showed a large smile and flattered the girl's idol.
The assistant came and reminded her.
"Mu Weiwei, the director needs you, the filming is starting soon."
Then he glanced at Li Xing'er's fans with an irritated expression.
Their idol had failed so many takes and he knew that Director Yi was always so glad to film Tang Shaoqi, because she never failed a single take.
Yet, whenever Lin Qingxue was on site, the Director would become very annoyed because she always failed the takes.
Let's wait and see which one has no gift and no skills.
