Chapter 65 The Actress Who Competes with a Newcomer for the Best Actor 11
Yun Qing made one last effort and tentatively said, "Director Zhang, maybe the audience just likes to see romance between men and women, and they like to see them being intimate?"
Although Director Zhang's films frequently win awards, they are not the type that are critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful. He can balance the two well and doesn't mind doing a lot of promotion, so while winning awards, they usually also do well at the box office.
He even directed some very successful commercial films.
He does consider the audience's preferences.
Instead of thinking that my work is too sophisticated and profound, and that the audience doesn't like it, I believe it's because the audience isn't sophisticated enough to appreciate it.
Director Zhang stroked his stubble and said thoughtfully, "I see..."
Just when Yun Qing saw a glimmer of hope, Director Zhang looked at her and said, "Isn't there still Qi Luo and Princess Yun Lan for romantic relationships? Why don't you and Ze Zhi kiss more passionately then?"
Yun Qing: !!!
"Director Zhang! Don't forget that Teacher Gu will not personally film intimate scenes."
Director Zhang looked regretful. "Oh, right, what a pity."
These two stunningly beautiful faces are a perfect match. It would be a real loss for the audience if they couldn't kiss and instead had a close-up shot of each other.
Yun Qing: ...
Forget it, I'm not going to struggle anymore.
Let's think about how to salvage the situation now.
Yun Qing was about to go back to the lounge to calm down, but because she was absent-minded, she accidentally went the wrong way. Just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly heard voices coming from the shared lounge next door, whose door was ajar.
"Mengmeng, do you think Teacher Gu likes you?"
Yun Qing thought about it carefully and realized that the owner of the voice seemed to be the actress who played Ning Meng's maid, who had very few scenes.
Although Ning Meng's role wasn't large, it was still much better than the one played by the maid.
Moreover, Ning Meng plays the male lead's ideal woman, a likable character who is also valued by Director Zhang. It's only a matter of time before she becomes famous. So the actress who plays the maid initially tries to curry favor with her.
However, when Lin Yunqing later had someone expose Ning Meng's dirty secrets, she got involved and stabbed Ning Meng in the back.
As a newcomer, Ning Meng was able to act in Director Zhang's movie right from the start, and in such a likable role. She was also favored by Gu Zezhi, and everyone in the crew liked her. How could anyone not be jealous?
Thinking of this, Yun Qing frowned. It seemed that Gu Zezhi didn't favor Ning Meng as much as in the original story, and even the other people in the crew didn't dote on Ning Meng as much as in the original story.
Ultimately, it all comes down to Gu Zezhi!
Without the favoritism of Actor Gu, Ning Meng's level of affection would naturally be affected.
In the lounge, Ning Meng said in surprise, "Why would you think that? Teacher Gu is just a kind person, that's why he's willing to patiently guide me. Teacher Gu would have been willing to guide anyone else too."
The actress playing the maid said with a hint of sourness, "No, that's not true. Look, besides you, has he ever specifically instructed other minor supporting actors like us?"
Ning Meng seemed oblivious to her sour tone and earnestly explained, "Teacher Gu is also filming and is so busy, he definitely can't take care of everyone!"
The actress playing the maid suppressed her jealousy and said with a smile, "So you are special to Teacher Gu, huh? He's so busy, but he still makes time for you, doesn't he?"
"Take that scene just now, for example. You know that Teacher Gu can't film intimate scenes, right?"
“If you don’t change your kissing scene, then you’ll have to use a body double. As a newcomer, you can’t just make a fuss about using a body double for a light, fleeting kiss, right? You’ll most likely have to film the kissing scene with a body double.”
"I heard that this scene was suggested to be changed by Teacher Gu. Do you think he specifically asked for the change because he didn't want you to be kissed by someone else?"
Yun Qing: Huh? That's a good idea! Whether it's true or not, at least I can get a little stimulation!
Whether Qi Luo and Wen Linlang are in a romantic relationship or not doesn't really matter.
Whether Ning Meng and Gu Zezhi's kissing scene is cut or not is not that important. Using a camera angle or a body double can definitely achieve the effect that Director Zhang wants.
But Gu Zezhi came up with so many reasons to change the kissing scene.
As someone who harbors a secret crush and suffers from anxiety, hearing these words, she couldn't help but doubt his intentions!
Gu Zezhi had given Ning Meng guidance on more than one occasion and had even gone back to the hotel with her, which made Ning Meng feel that he and Ning Meng were getting too close.
Thinking about it more deeply now, was Gu Zezhi's sudden rejection of her using the brother-sister analogy also because of Ning Meng?
That's a big enough blow, isn't it?
Yun Qing thought about it and realized it still wasn't enough.
Without a sufficiently strong stimulus, it's somewhat unreasonable for Lin Yunqing to suddenly transform her previously cautious crush into an aggressive seduction.
In the lounge, Ning Meng thought for a moment and said, "If that's really the case, then I really owe a debt of gratitude to Teacher Gu for helping me. I should go and thank him."
As she spoke, she hurriedly got up and walked out.
The actress playing the maid curled her lip in disdain, pretending to be innocent and straightforward, but in reality, she was just eager to get close to Actor Gu.
If she hadn't shamelessly kept getting close to Actor Gu, he would never have paid her any attention!
In her opinion, Ning Meng was also foolish. Of all the people she could have approached, she had to be so ambitious and go after Gu Yingdi.
Why did she wonder why no one else was eyeing Gu Yingdi?
Because of Gu Yingdi's germaphobia, there's no way he could have anything happen with them!
No matter how hard you try, it will be in vain in the end, and you might even anger Actor Gu.
After all, in Gu Yingdi's eyes, they must be nothing more than a bunch of bacteria and viruses that have come to him, so it's no wonder he finds them annoying.
Just watch, Ning Meng is so tactless, it won't be long before Gu Yingdi gets so annoyed by her that he can't stand it anymore.
Does she really think she can be the exception? I don't know whether to call her courageous or overconfident.
Hearing Ning Meng's footsteps approaching the door, Yun Qing thought for a moment but did not dodge.
When Ning Meng opened the door and saw her, she was somewhat surprised. "Teacher Lin, what are you doing here?"
When Lin Yunqing wasn't facing Gu Zezhi, she still exuded the aura of a movie queen, and towards Ning Meng, the newcomer she disliked, she was even more condescending.
Yun Qing glanced at Ning Meng and warned, "Newcomers should focus on acting seriously and not always try to take shortcuts. Don't think that just because Teacher Gu has a good temper, he can let people exploit you for gossip and profit from you. Haven't there been enough examples of this before?"
Hmm, if that's not enough stimulation, she can find it herself!
Originally, the scene where Lin Yunqing warned Ning Meng was supposed to be after she failed to seduce Gu Zezhi, and Gu Zezhi even used a body double for the intimate scene.
Yun Qing is now giving Ning Meng a heads-up.
It's better to slightly change the order of the plot than to have an entire part of the story not happen at all, right?
Besides, it was perfectly reasonable for her to warn Ning Meng at this point.
She asked the system, and the system also thought it was feasible.
Hearing this, Ning Meng glared at Yun Qing with some resentment and said, "By what right does Teacher Lin warn me? It's Teacher Gu's freedom to like or take care of whomever he wants. Does Teacher Lin know that Teacher Gu is meddling so much?"
These words really pierced Yunqing's lungs.
