Chapter 35
Was Hang Ze mentally sick? Didn't he know that there was a time difference?
Xie Yun on the other end of the phone was still lying in bed. She was furious when she was woken up by this call.
Seeing that Wei Yan and Fang Zhian were there, it was obvious that the situation was in midst of an audition. She felt even less annoyed.
She had lost interest in making movies in the past two years.
Going abroad was to find a place where not many people knew her, so that she wouldn't be recognized by fans in the country and get urged to make a new movie, or be photographed by paparazzi and said that she was preparing for a new movie.
Annoying. Truly annoying.
Becoming famous too early was a distress for Xie Yun. Too many people paid attention to her. She seemed to be restricted to the identity of a director. Was everything she did was related to making movies? Couldn't she have her own life?
These negative emotions accumulated and deterred Xie Yun from wanting to return to the production crew at all. She wanted to hold the camera outside and take pictures of the beautiful scenery in her eyes and record the beauty in her mind.
She had gone abroad, why did they still call her to bother her?
Though ‘I will kill you sooner or later’ was written on Xie Yun's face, she was a little surprised when she saw Gu Qi standing on the stage.
From Xie Yun's perspective, she and Wei Yan have the same idea. They both think that Gu Qi was a short-lived actress who once had an aura and was considered by the industry to be able to shine on the big screen.
It was just that her peak period was too short. A bad movie instantly ruined her reputation. From then on, she began to go downhill at the speed of a rocket.
When they used to scold Hang Ze, they would occasionally scold Gu Qi as well, thinking that they were the same kind of people.
In the end, Xie Yun got curious.
At least she sat up from the bed instead of lying down to watch.
Anyone at the scene could tell that Hang Ze deliberately called Xie Yun, which was obviously to show that—
They were looking forward to Gu Qi’s work.
Shen Anran showed a hint of surprise in her eyes and whispered in an envious tone: "So amazing."
He Quanyi simply rolled her eyes.
What was she up to? Just playing a trick.
In recent years, she haven't heard of any famous roles played by Gu Qi. He Quanyi looked down on this former rival from the bottom of her heart.
Plus, she didn't show her full strength and was suppressed by Shen Anran, who played idol dramas. This had her bubbling with anger. She wished that Gu Qi's performance would be worse to rank below her.
Though Gu Qi felt a certain psychological pressure, she adjusted herself as soon as possible and started her performance.
The twelfth scene, where the female lead Chun Ya carefully put the last red banknote into the piggy bank and prepared to start packing her luggage. She would go to the high-speed rail station tomorrow to buy the nearest ticket to start her unprecedented adventure life.
Gu Qi quickly got into the state.
She walked into the house from the outside. Her tired and numb eyes finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was at home and instantly lit up.
She took off her coat first and hung the suit she wore as a salesperson on the wall. Apart from her identity outside of work, she finally became herself at this moment.
She took out a banknote from the innermost layer of the bag and put it into the piggy bank with the most solemn attitude.
The moment she noticed that the piggy bank was completely full, she stood up in disbelief and covered her lips with her hand. Her attitude was beaming with surprise and joy.
Because she had promised herself a long time ago.
The day when the piggy bank was completely full was the day when she sets out to explore the world.
This day finally came.
Gu Qi added some of her own small ideas. She started to search in the closet, trying on each piece of clothing and preparing for the day she was most looking forward to. A woman who had never dressed up carefully for several years stood in front of the mirror like a little girl before her first date, nervous and happy.
She kept changing until she chose the most satisfactory set of clothes, then she folded the rest carefully and packed them into the suitcase.
Her expression didn't change much, but her eyes reveal expectation and excitement.
Fang Zhian put his hand to his chin, moved his body slightly closer to Hang Ze, and lowered his voice, "She is very good at acting with her eyes."
To exaggerate a little, Fang Zhian even felt that there were few people in the entertainment industry who could express all their thoughts through a pair of eyes without changing their facial expressions like Gu Qi.
Her facial features were extremely beautiful. Every expression seemed to be magnified under such beauty. Even the slightest frown could bring obvious emotional changes.
Hang Ze answered cheerfully: "She is usually like this; hardly talks to people and expresses completely with her eyes... en, her disgust."
Hang Ze pondered for a long time before finding an adjective that wasn't so suitable.
He felt that the point that Gu Qi fits this role very well was that both people weren’t emotional and their emotions were very restrained. They gave people a sense of neither sadness nor joy in the face of most things.
So Gu Qi didn't need to perform too exaggeratedly. She could give people a good sense of substitution in a very natural situation.
She packed her luggage before leaving.
In fact, this matter had been mentioned to her husband and children more than once, but they all thought she was joking. Everyone agreed perfunctorily and didn't take it seriously.
At this time, Gu Qi thought of it again-
The first deception of her parents.
They said that as long as the contract that was said to be very important was signed, she wouldn’t have to please the Jiāng Family so much in the future.
Mom rubbed her hair, "Xiaoqi is the most obedient and sensible. Don't make trouble at this time. Wait a bit."
Before that day came.
Gu Qi had great expectations and thought that she was about to leave Jiāng Family.
She was so naive.
She solemnly put her only ‘playmate’ in Jiāng Family, a small keychain, in her pocket and held it in her hand when she slept.
She thought that as long as the day dawned, she could have a brand new life and the unbearable life would turn over like a nightmare. Then she would have all the happiness and beauty she had seen in her dreams countless times.
Just like Chun Ya in the script.
She had prepared everything. She only needed to arrive at the high-speed rail station to have a new life.
But obstacles appeared and she still needed to wake up from the dream.
Gu Qi looked out the window.
Though she showed a very light smile, there was a deep yearning in her eyes.
Her performance was extremely immersive.
Hang Ze sat up straight from his initial lazy leaning against the chair.
He didn't expect that Gu Qi would use the most ordinary expression to play the role's expectation for a better future to the max.
She was so gentle and beautiful. But as a viewer that knew that these were the last pure dreams before they were shattered, he couldn't help but feel distressed.
Until the knock on the door sounded.
Gu Qi got up and opened the door. ‘Seeing’ her injured son being helped into the house by his classmates, she was distressed, said a few words of nagging, and expressed her gratitude.
After taking care of her son lying on the bed to rest, she returned to her own small room in the corner.
Gu Qi curled up on the bench, hugged her body tightly, lowered her eyebrows and looked gentle.
She murmured: "How did it happened... Already this big and can still break his leg. It's reallly worrying."
She kept muttering about her concern for her son and nagging him for not knowing how to take care of himself. However, her eyes were red after blinking a few times.
This was a part wasn't in the script.
He Quanyi instantly smirked. She originally thought that Gu Qi acted better than she anticipated, but she didn't expect that she was stupid enough to change the script.
Chun Ya was a very reserved person. She wouldn't cry because of her son's injury. It was inconsistent with her character.
It seemed that Gu Qi only realized that there was no obvious emotional drama in this section until now and added this section to show her crying scene?
To be fair, crying scenes and quarrels could give people the most direct emotional shock and impact.
But crying scenes were a threshold to test whether an actor could act. It was stupid to show off at this time! What's more, Gu Qi couldn't even shed tears. She could only let her eyes reddened like that.
Then Gu Qi stood up and walked to the kitchen.
She picked up the apron in the kitchen, put it on clumsily, and busied away stewing a pot of pork ribs soup for her son.
She had returned to the kitchen once again and put on the apron as if taking on the mission of being a wife and mother.
At this moment, she was once again completely trapped in this world.
Like a caged bird, and like a withered rose without branches and leaves.
That slightly pale face, that helpless smile that seemed to deceive herself, and that care and concern for her son.
It seemed that nothing had changed, but it seemed that everything had changed.
Gu Qi's face was once rated as born for movies. Beauty wasn’t a scarce resource in the entertainment industry. Because of her cold personality and with enough story sense, a mysterious veil was added to her whole person.
After her performance, Wei Yan didn't comment directly, but instead turned to Shen Anran and He Quanyi: "What do you two think?"
Shen Anran was obviously very nervous, but still praised: "I think Gu Qi performed very well."
He Quanyi knew that whether it was Gu Qi or Shen Anran, their performance today was better than hers.
If she wanted to win, she had to fight for it now.
So He Quanyi said: "I think it's pretty good overall, but I personally can't understand the crying scene at the end. In my opinion, Chun Ya is a woman who bears all the pressure of life too early. She is very strong and never sheds tears from beginning to end of this movie."
