Chapter 19: Shame
It sounds like a Cinderella and Prince romance.
Cheng Xiaoran shook her head with a smile, eating her popcorn seriously, no longer thinking nonsense.
"Ouch, look at me, it's okay to say this, that, Xiaoran, don't take it to heart, Brother Yu and Lu Qing have already ended, and now you two are a couple." Gu Xuan realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly saved a few words.
"Mr. Gu, you misunderstood, Mr. Zhou and I have never been a couple, but lovers, no matter who he likes or who he marries in the future, these have nothing to do with me."
“……”
Gu Xuan looked at the man standing behind her in horror, and cold sweat was about to drip down, "Xiaoran, Brother Yu won't get married, and he is very good to you, it is very likely that he will develop into an official boyfriend and girlfriend in the future, don't be too pessimistic." ”
"There is no pessimism, just to tell the truth, just like Miss Lu, even if I work hard all my life, I will not be as glamorous as her."
"Nothing is impossible, if you want to be an actor, I can make you popular."
Cheng Xiaoran was talking, and a cold and low voice suddenly came from her ears.
She tightened her fingers holding the popcorn bucket, and said with a light smile: "Mr. Zhou, I just want to live a peaceful and stable life, it is enough to have a Miss Lu in the film and television industry, and there is no need for another Cheng Xiaoran." ”
Moreover, she didn't want to be someone else's stand-in, if Zhou Tingyu really held her to the same height as Lu Qing, then everyone would think she was a copy.
Anything precious, a copy is no more precious than the original, and she will not do anything to bring shame on herself.
"Ahem! What's that, Brother Yu, why are you only here now, hurry up and sit down, the movie will start in a while. ”
Zhou Tingyu's face was cloudy, obviously in a bad mood, his thin lips pursed slightly, and he bent over to sit beside Gu Xuan.
Not far away, the interview had come to an end, and Lu Qing smiled shyly and said a lot of thanks.
"Actually, the person I want to thank the most is Mr. Zhou, if there was no him, this movie would not have been made so smoothly."
The reporters present all looked at the person in front of them with an ambiguous look, "Miss Lu, is this an expression of heart?" ”
Lu Qing lowered his head and said lightly: "The movie is about to start, everyone should enter the theater as soon as possible." ”
The staff arranged for the media reporters to enter the theater in order, and Lu Qing's eyes drifted to Zhou Tingyu accurately, and trotted over, "Brother Yu, let's go in too." ”
"Hmm."
Cheng Xiaoran didn't feel anything at first, but now the more she looks at herself, the more she looks like a large light bulb of several hundred watts.
She couldn't figure out why Gu Xuan had to call her.
followed the three of them into the theater, Cheng Xiaoran was too lazy to join them in the fun, and wanted to sit in the last row, but was graciously invited by Gu Xuan to the position next to Zhou Tingyu.
"Xiaoran, just sit down, the viewing experience is absolutely good!"
Cheng Xiaoran laughed dryly, "Thank you, Mr. Gu." ”
This guy doesn't know whether to call him stupid or uneyed.
All four of them were already seated, and not long after, a picture appeared on the screen.
Cheng Xiaoran had watched the movie promo before, and she had an understanding of the general plot, and for more than an hour, she was so interested in watching it that she almost fell asleep.
I don't know if Lu Qing has been abroad for too long, or if he hasn't filmed for a long time, his acting skills are pouting, and he is a good woman, and he is played as a stupid white sweet.
The expressions of many media in the theater are also quite weird, probably racking their brains to think about what to praise.
"Huh!"
The lights turned on, the movie premiere officially came to an end, and Cheng Xiaoran yawned and walked out.
Seeing this, Lu Qing was dissatisfied: "Does Miss Cheng think this movie is boring?" ”
Cheng Xiaoran doesn't like to talk nonsense with her eyes open, "Are you sure Miss Lu wants to ask?" ”
"Of course, if Miss Cheng has any comments or opinions about this movie, she can put it forward."
"Well, I think the second female is more suitable for playing the first female lead, and the other thing is that Miss Lu's expression is too stiff, which affects the sense of watching the movie a little."
A few people present didn't expect her to say so directly, especially Lu Qing, her angry face turned green, "Miss Cheng, the position of this heroine was chosen by the director, if you have an opinion, you can mention it to him, as for the expression, I have been in the film and television industry for so many years, and I have won a lot of awards and awards, how can I be stiff." ”
Cheng Xiaoran pursed her lips, "You asked me to say it, I'll tell you the truth, and you're not happy." ”
"You ......"
"Enough!" Zhou Tingyu interrupted Lu Qing, "Your performance this time is really not good, there will be professional film critics to express their opinions in a while, as an actor, you should accept any criticism and suggestions." ”
If it is someone else's evaluation, of course Lu Qing is willing to accept it, but what kind of thing is Cheng Xiaoran, isn't it just relying on Brother Youyu's support?
What a slut!
Gu Xuan also felt that this movie was like an old lady's footcloth, smelly and long, thanks to the second female being's good-looking appearance and aura of acting skills, he saved half of it, but he and Lu Qing are friends after all, just hide this kind of thing in the stomach, it is too hurtful to say it.
"Okay Lu Qing, the media are waiting for you, go quickly."
Lu Qing glared at Cheng Xiaoran angrily, and went to participate in the interview with her skirt.
"Miss Lu, what do you think of this play in the movie?"
"I think there's still a lot of room for improvement, and of course, I'd welcome your comments."
The entertainment media and Lu Qing boasted to each other and exchanged a few words, and then it was the turn of a well-known director in the film and television industry to take the stage to make an evaluation.
The director's surname is Shao, he is only in his early thirties this year, but he has directed many award-winning movies in the future, and he has a characteristic, that is, he has a very straight personality and never gives face to anyone.
"I have only one comment about today's movie, and that is that it is rotten, rotten to the extreme, and even made me feel the urge to walk out of the theater when it first opened."
The reporters held up the microphone with an embarrassed face, "Can Director Shao talk about it carefully?" ”
"In this whole movie, Miss Lu's acting skills are very embarrassing, and her facial expressions are not in place, a woman should not become a big lady who can only be coquettish and mess around, if the box office is dismal in the end, I think Miss Lu will be largely responsible."
"Shhh
Many people gasped when they heard this, because Director Shao's words were too faceless to Lu Qing, and it was no different from slapping her directly.
"Director Shao, how do you think this drama should be modified?"
"The plot is not bad, as long as the second female scene is cut into the female number one, it can barely be saved."
Lu Qing has been in the film and television industry for so many years, and for the first time she was humiliated in public, her eyes were red, and her lower lip was about to be bitten, "Director Shao, the director of this drama said that I look suitable for the heroine, and you said that you want to cut off my role, I can't accept it." ”
"If looks can decide who will play the female lead, then I think there is someone more suitable than you on the scene."
"Who?"
Director Shao pointed casually, and everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and was surprised to find that it was actually Mr. Zhou's new favorite.
"Isn't that Miss Cheng?"
"Not to mention, when Director Shao said this, I also think she looks very suitable for the female lead in this movie, pure and charming, and there is no sense of disobedience at all when she plays a blackened role."
"Don't talk nonsense, how could Mr. Zhou let her come out to act."
"That's not necessarily, wasn't Miss Lu also Mr. Zhou's woman before? Not the same in this circle? ”
The sound of gossip echoed in the movie theater, Cheng Xiaoran originally just planned to watch the play quietly, but she didn't expect to become the focus of attention, she calmly took out a mask from her pocket, and then put it on her face.
"Director Shao, are you kidding me? How could she possibly fit into the role?! Lu Qing was unwilling to be compared to Cheng Xiaoran, and retorted angrily.
"Miss Lu, I'm just standing as a film critic to give some opinions, since you don't want to listen, then when I didn't say, everyone, I still have a lot of things to do, so I'll go first."
Director Shao seems to look down on Lu Qing, a female artist, and left without looking back, but now the lively press conference makes people dare not breathe, and it is embarrassing just to pestle here.
"Mr. Gu, Mr. Zhou, I still have to go home to feed the cat, can you go back first?" In the silence, Cheng Xiaoran broke the peace with a loud voice.
The corners of Gu Xuan's mouth twitched, "It's okay, then you should be careful on the road." ”
"Hmm."
Cheng Xiaoran carried her bag and left the theater with Director Shao one after the other.
Lu Qing was angry and aggrieved, the most important thing was that his face had been lost, and he looked in the direction of Zhou Tingyu with teary eyes, trying to get a few words of comfort.
But the man just looked at her with a look of extreme coldness, as if he were looking at a stranger.
Cinema entrance.
Cheng Xiaoran was about to take a taxi, but saw that Director Shao had just greeted her.
"Miss Cheng, hello."
"Director Shao? Didn't you go back? ”
"I just don't like the atmosphere in the theater, I'm sorry I just subjected you to some bad comments."
Cheng Xiaoran smiled lightly, "Director Shao is polite, there is nothing to apologize for this kind of thing." ”
"Actually, I didn't just talk nonsense, your appearance is very malleable, and your eyes are very story-telling, if you want, I can tailor a character for you, up to a year, guaranteed to make you popular."
"Director Shao, I'm not a film and television student, and I'm usually very boring, so I'm not suitable for this industry, but I understand your kindness."
Director Shao regretted, "It's rare to see a good seedling, but it's okay, if you figure it out one day, you can also come to me to find me, and wait for me at any time." ”
Cheng Xiaoran never thought that she would be favored by a famous director one day, so she politely coped with a few words, saying that she would definitely find him first if she had any ideas in this regard in the future.
Seeing Director Shao get into the car, Cheng Xiaoran didn't stay long, and stopped the car and went back to the apartment.
