King of Ensemble [Entertainment]

The crew that Xu Qing was going to go to on this day was Gu Xiang's crew.

Gu Xiang is the starring role. I heard that Di Xing personally wrote the script for him after signing with Di's family.The story is an adaptation of a popular IP novel, and already has a sufficient fan base. The screenwriter and director are all big names, and the sponsors and investors are also unprecedentedly enthusiastic. Everyone is trying their best to make a lot of money from this drama. Pen.

Before Xu Qing left, Wei Yiquan went to find someone to talk to Gu Xiang, asking him to cooperate with him at that time and not to deliberately pick on things like that. Gu Xiang's reply was: "I don't have that much time to spare."

Wei Yiquan was so choked that he almost didn't come back.

Xu Qing left with the freshness and curiosity of wanting to see a "big movie". Although he had noticed that Gu Xiang was in the cast, he didn't need to interview the protagonist anyway. His focus was on group performances, The extras and the staff members relaxed, thinking that they would definitely not meet Gu Xiang on the set.

As a result, the facts were not as expected. Gu Xiang went to the production team very early, even earlier than Xu Qing and the others arrived. As soon as Xu Qing opened the door of the dressing room, he saw Gu Xiang who was putting on makeup.

Xu Qing subconsciously turned his head to look at Wei Yiquan who was following behind. He didn't know whether Wei Yiquan was guilty or something, so he voluntarily withdrew.

Xu Qing: "..."

Xu Qing calmed down, and calmly stepped forward to say hello: "Morning, Mr. Gu."

Gu Xiang closed her eyes and seemed unresponsive. The makeup artist made a "shush" gesture with one finger and said softly, "I'm asleep."

Xu Qing: "..."

Xu Qing laughed, walked to the other side and sat down. After a while, the phone rang. He looked down and opened it, only to see a message from Wei Yiquan - I'll wait for you outside, okay.

Xu Qing couldn't help being very funny, and felt that Wei Yiquan's terrified appearance was really cute, but in fact he didn't have to be like this at all, but the more Wei Yiquan behaved like this, the more Xu Qing wanted to tease him.

Xu Qing quickly replied with fingers: "What are you hiding?"

Wei Yi replied in seconds: "I didn't hide!"

Xu Qing made a crying expression: "Are you guilty of hiding so quickly? Are you afraid that you will rekindle your old relationship with him?"

Wei Yi replied in seconds: "No, absolutely not, am I afraid of you thinking too much? I pretend to be you in my eyes! Who is Gu Xiang? I don't know you. You were the only one in the dressing room just now! "

Xu Qing laughed tremblingly, holding the mobile phone staggeringly, the makeup artist next to him smiled and said, "Why are you talking so happily?"

Xu Qing smiled and waved his hands: "No, it's nothing, I met a very cute person."

Xu Qing thought for a while and replied, "Why did you choose this crew?"

Wei Yiquan: "Director Chen of this show is my teacher. Although he is not in school, he taught me a lot after I graduated from society. I respect him very much. This is the first time he has accepted this kind of IP adaptation. There are certain challenges in the play, and I want to do my best to promote him. And his influence can also help you play a role in publicity, which is a win-win situation.”

Xu Qing restrained his laughing thoughts slightly, and returned him a kissing expression.

Wei Yiquan also returned a kissing and hugging expression, the two actually have a very good understanding, knowing that they are joking, there is no need to explain.

As soon as Xu Qing put down his phone, the person in the chair next to him said, "Good morning, Mr. Xu."

Gu Xiang's voice has a laziness that has not yet woken up, a little hoarse, very sexy, his makeup has basically been completed, and he is wearing a wig, his flawless face seems to be carefully carved, every day Every time I look back, I am very surprised. It doesn't look like a real person but a white porcelain doll.

At this time, the white porcelain doll yawned, and there was a trace of aura belonging to a living person on his body. He looked at Xu Qing and said, "You came quite early."

Xu Qing nodded, he calmed down his nervousness after such a quarrel with Wei Yiquan, and said calmly: "I didn't expect Mr. Gu to come earlier than us group performers."

On the spur of the moment, he asked the cameraman to come closer and interview Gu Xiang: "Does Mr. Gu always come to the set so early?"

"Not necessarily, it depends on the situation." Gu Xiang was not nervous at all when he realized that the camera was taking pictures of himself, and he didn't change his sitting posture or expression. He still said lazily, "I lived near here yesterday, so I came here earlier."

Xu Qing noticed a small hickey under Gu Xiang's ear, before he looked carefully, it was already blocked by the loose wig.

He asked: "Does Mr. Gu have any thoughts on this popular drama? As far as I know, this drama has already earned enough gimmicks during the early promotion, and fans have high expectations."

"Really?" Gu Xiang looked at his makeup in the mirror, and said casually, "I haven't paid much attention to the comments on the Internet, but I have read the original book myself, and it is a very good story."

Xu Qing nodded, and was about to ask him what he thought of the role he played this time, but Gu Xiang had already stood up, and said bluntly, "I'm going to read the script."

He tilted his head and raised his willow eyebrows, showing his usual arrogant and domineering appearance. Xu Qing was stunned, and hurriedly got up to ask him: "Then we won't bother you, thank you."

Gu Xiang took the script and walked out, turned around halfway and said: "I did the interview without my permission, remember to cut everything just now."

Gu Xiang said and gestured: "If you want to use it, talk with money."

Xu Qing: "..."

When Gu Xiang went out, the photographer Brother Liao said, "Who is it? Don't answer if you don't want to answer. How can you just keep your mouth open for money? Did he do it on purpose?"

Xu Qing waved his hand: "It was my negligence, I did not ask for his consent."

Brother Liao shook his head: "Let's go, find other people."

Taking advantage of his free time, Xu Qing went to interview some staff involved in the production, the screenwriter, and the props team in the later stage.

Because this is a fantasy drama, the workload of the props team and the costume designer is very heavy. Xu Qing also benefited a lot from the interview, and said to the camera: "What is ingenuity? Enthusiasm, dignity, and pride will bring ingenuity to the extreme."

Brother Liao gave a thumbs up behind the camera. Xu Qing already knew the meaning of this gesture these days - the expression was great.

Afterwards, it was time to contact the group performers. While participating in it, Xu Qing introduced the extraordinary experiences of the group performers.The day passed quickly.

When the play was about to end, there was a little commotion at the scene.Xu Qing noticed that many people were looking in one direction, and he followed suit, and found a nanny car driving up from the other side of the fence around the studio, and three bodyguards in black came down from it, heading straight towards the resting side. Gu Xiang walked over.

Xu Qing was curious, and saw three bodyguards surrounding Gu Xiang. After saying something, Gu Xiang got up and said hello to the director, and then went back to the dressing room to change clothes, but unexpectedly, one of the bodyguards directly held him up. Take him directly into the car.

The nanny car sped away, and Xu Qing listened to the group speaker next to him: "This is not the first time."

Xu Qing frowned: "What do you mean?"

The group of actors sighed and said: "From the start of filming to now, that Miss Gu will always be taken away suddenly. Sometimes she will come back after walking for a while, and sometimes she will leave for a whole day. His scenes can only be postponed until later. There is no other way. Who made the biggest sponsor be the Di family."

Xu Qing felt even more curious: "From your point of view, the person who took him away was from the Di family?"

"That's not true!" The group performer said, "I heard that, I just heard that he is the lover of the boss of the Di family, tsk tsk."

Xu Qing remembered that he called Gu Xiang "Miss Gu": "Why do you call him Miss Gu? He is a man."

"Being a man's lover, and she looks like that, what is it if it's not 'Miss'?" The group performer shook his head, as if he was very shameless about this kind of behavior, and said, "The crooked trend in this circle is caused by this kind of person .”

Xu Qing stood there looking at the direction the car was leaving in a daze. He didn't expect that Gu Xiang would become like this after he went to Di's house.Di Xing's lover?Really?

If I was the one who agreed to that request at the beginning, would I also be like this... In the middle of filming, I was forcibly taken away regardless of my own wishes, and I don’t know how many people poke my spine and laugh at me as "Miss Xu" behind my back?

Did Gu Xiang sign that "contract"?

He thought of Gu Xiang's indifferent eyes that didn't care about anything, and the Gu Xiang he saw at the scene all day: Gu Xiang was actually very serious about his work, and he also memorized his lines proficiently, so he didn't cause trouble to anyone , just doing what you should do.

But maybe just because he was Di Xing's person, all these efforts were wiped out.

I don't know why, but when he thought that Gu Xiang came earlier than the group performer and yawned in the dressing room, he became a little concerned.

After the play, Xu Qing went to look for Wei Yiquan while wiping his sweat. He thought that Wei Yiquan would stay with Director Chen, but he couldn't find anyone else. The weather at night was still unbearably hot, and it hadn't completely darkened at [-] o'clock. Director Chen sighed and said, "It's missing Gu Xiang's role again. It's really... Let someone call Mr. Di. It's not the way to keep doing this."

Director Chen's assistant nodded, and Director Chen said to Xu Qing: "The second male lead in this show actually wanted to get you, but the Di family rejected it. They are the biggest sponsors and investors, and I have no choice. In fact, you quite meet my image requirements for the male number two."

Gu Xiang was the lead actor, and the second male lead was a little fresh meat promoted by Pinghuan Company. Only then did Xu Qing realize that the appearance and body of that little fresh meat were indeed somewhat similar to his own.

But the director said: "Now that kid can't do it, he doesn't have aura without you, he has something missing, and only you have that thing."

He seemed to feel strange again as he spoke, and touched his chin: "Why do people always say that you and Gu Xiang are like each other? I don't think you are alike at all."

This is the first time that someone, who is not familiar with him and Gu Xiang, will feel that he and Gu Xiang are not the same at all. Xu Qing laughed: "Director Chen is worthy of being Director Chen."

Director Chen didn't seem to know what to say. He compared his hands with nothingness: "Both you and him have a sense of maturity that doesn't match your age. You are quiet, you are... like water, and can tolerate everything; Xiang is not good enough, don't look at him who doesn't take things seriously all day long, he is actually very arrogant, and his mood is difficult to calm down, so if you hit your head, you will smash the sky, he is crazier than you."

Director Chen sighed at this point: "Actually, both of you are rare talents. I'm afraid that Gu Xiang will play with firecrackers one day and burn himself into it."

Xu Qing frowned, seeing Wei Yiquan approaching from the corner of his eye, he didn't ask any further questions.With a cigarette in his mouth, Wei Yiquan angrily greeted his former teacher, and took Xu Qing away.

On the way back, Xu Qing was in a daze, Wei Yiquan glanced at him: "What's the matter?"

He paused: "You're not really angry, are you?"

Xu Qing was taken aback: "Why are you angry?"

Wei Yiquan: "..."

It was only then that Xu Qing remembered the boring game they had played in the morning, and smiled: "No, I'm just...I'm thinking about Gu Xiang."

Wei Yiquan almost slammed on the brakes: "What do you want him to do!"

Xu Qing waved his hand: "Don't get me wrong, I have no other intentions, I..."

Xu Qing felt that he was thinking too much, but Gu Xiang's performance, Di's arrogance and Director Chen's words kept turning in his mind: "I'm thinking... He's actually, maybe, not a bad person."

Wei Yiquan raised his eyebrows silently.

"If he really likes...fame and money so much, and wants to use you and everyone, why would he destroy the opportunity you could have given him? It doesn't make sense."

For artists, talented directors, good production teams, and good works are all rare.

Since Gu Xiang was able to meet him, why didn't he make good use of it and grasp it firmly?Instead, destroy it with your own hands?

If he is really eager for quick success and quick profit, he can do anything for fame and fortune, if he does not hesitate to be Wei Yiquan and Di Xing's lover, why would he ruin such a good opportunity with his own hands?This is really unreasonable.

Wei Yiquan didn't speak, and after a while he said: "So?"

Xu Qing: "Huh?"

Wei Yiquan said helplessly: "You are already a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and you can't protect yourself, so you still have the time to worry about others?"

Xu Qing shrugged: "I just find it strange, and I can't help but think a little more."

The car was very quiet, until the car drove into the underground parking lot of the community, Wei Yiquan turned off the engine, sat in the quiet car and said, "I have an update, can you listen to it? But I have to explain, I am not I want to investigate him, just in case, I don't want him and the Di family to hurt you."

Xu Qing raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

Wei Yiquan took a deep breath, and then he said that he had been having eyeliner in Di's house, and that he had been investigating the relationship between Gu Xiang and Di Xing since Gu Xiang entered Di's house.

Xu Qing was very surprised: "Why are you investigating this? What does this have to do with my safety?"

Wei Yiquan said: "Di Xing is very interested in you. I have been interested in you for so many years and I still don't want to let you go. How can I not be careful? The outside world says that you are very similar to Gu Xiang. Who knows that Di Xing will What do you think? What if Gu Xiang is not convinced and troubles you? What if Di Xing thinks you are better and makes trouble for you even more?"

Xu Qing was dumbfounded. In his opinion, he was incomparable with Gu Xiang. How could Di Xing feel better when he had Gu Xiang?No, no, the point is how could Di Xing use Gu Xiang as his substitute?This is simply a fantasy.

But Wei Yiquan took it for granted. Anxiety and agitation are not fake. Xu Qing’s emotions were extremely complicated for a while—of course he knew that in Wei Yiquan’s heart, he was the best, but at this moment, when he realized that At this point, I was actually more shocked than moved.

He was speechless for a long time, and he felt strange and funny at the same time. His mood was really mixed and he couldn't express it.

After a long time, he took a deep breath and said, "Tell me, what's the latest news?"

Wei Yiquan sighed: "Gu Xiang signed the contract that... the Di family gave you back then, but the amount on it is twice as much as that signed to other people."

Xu Qing was taken aback—as far as he knew, the contract should be a photocopy, which meant that the conditions were basically the same.

Xu Qing frowned: "What does this mean? Could it be that Gu Xiang asked for it?"

Wei Yiquan said solemnly: "After Gu Xiang got the money, he remitted the money to an out-of-town account. I asked Marco to check it for him. That account...if it's correct, it should be a loan company."

It is said that the loan company is actually a hidden usury company, and Wei Yiquan just found out about this result.

Xu Qing's eyes widened, and Wei Yiquan paused for a while before saying: "I recalled the days when I was with Gu Xiang... He did occasionally ask me to borrow money. It was given to him directly, and he didn’t intend to ask him to pay it back. Sometimes he borrowed a small amount, and sometimes it was a large amount, but the amount was not too big. I thought he was just short of money and never thought about it.”

It is very common for Wei Yiquan's former "boyfriends" to ask him for money, ranging from tens of thousands to thousands, which is not considered a lot of money.

But if this matter is not that Gu Xiang is short of money, but has other uses, then it is worth thinking about.

Wei Yiquan didn't dare to say one thing, every time he looked back at Xiang's payment, he would definitely "reward" Wei Yiquan on the same day or within a day or two.

At this time, Wei Yiquan felt that something was really wrong. If Gu Xiang really needed money urgently, why not take the opportunity?

But Xu Qing faintly sensed something, he smiled wryly and said, "I'm really lucky."

Wei Yiquan: "???"
