Chapter 66 The Actress Who Competes with a Newcomer for the Best Actor 12
Yun Qing was so angry that she could hardly breathe. She retorted sarcastically, "Do you think Gu Zezhi likes you? You've only known Gu Zezhi for a few days!"
Ning Meng said righteously, "Love doesn't have a first-come-first-served rule. It's not like Teacher Gu has to like you just because he met you first!"
She clearly understood why Yun Qing had warned her.
Yun Qing: ...This doesn't seem right!
In the original storyline, although Ning Meng and Gu Zezhi filmed a kissing scene early on, and everyone could see Gu Zezhi's special feelings for Ning Meng, their relationship didn't develop so directly and quickly.
At least in the story, when Lin Yunqing warned Ning Meng, Ning Meng didn't mention whether she liked it or not.
And now that she's given a heads-up, Ning Meng is being so blunt about love?
[System, is the female lead having a problem too?]
The system pondered for a moment and said, "[This is likely a side effect caused by the male lead's problem.]"
After all, the male protagonist always likes to get close to the host.
The female lead will naturally be more wary of this rival.
Seeing that Yun Qing remained silent, Ning Meng became even more confident. "Teacher Lin, you and Teacher Gu have known each other for so long. If he were going to like you, he would have done so long ago. There's no need to wait until now. You know that yourself, right?"
"You know that Teacher Gu doesn't like you at all, so you can only come to cause trouble for me!"
Yun Qing's face turned ashen, and she shouted angrily, her voice filled with bravado but her heart was filled with fear: "Nonsense!"
The more Yun Qing flew into a rage, the more confident Ning Meng became. She stared at Yun Qing with innocent, doe-like eyes and said, "Then do you dare to confess to Teacher Gu? You don't dare!"
Yun Qing naturally couldn't lose face in front of Ning Meng, so she defiantly sneered, "I'll show you whether I dare or not!"
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked away quickly, not giving Ning Meng another chance to speak.
Ning Meng watched her flee in disarray, shook her head and sighed, "Why bother? You can't force matters of the heart."
She didn't give up on thanking Gu Zezhi because of Yun Qing's commotion, but to her surprise, she didn't see Yun Qing when she went to find Gu Zezhi.
So, after all that talk, is this actress Lin just being stubborn?
As expected, Lin Yunqing knew very well that Gu Yingdi didn't like her at all, so she didn't dare to confess her feelings.
Ning Meng smiled sweetly and wanted to lean over to thank Gu Zezhi, but Fang Fang stopped her.
Fangfang spoke politely, but her tone was distant: "Mengmeng, Brother Gu needs to gather his emotions. Unless it's something particularly important, it's best not to disturb him."
Seeing that Gu Zezhi was staring at the script without looking up, and was indeed very engrossed, Ning Meng could only say regretfully, "Okay, then I'll come back after Teacher Gu finishes filming."
Fang Fang: Please don't!
How can someone be completely unable to understand another person's refusal?
It seems he'll have to keep an eye on Gu Ge after he finishes filming his scenes.
Ning Meng walked away, turning back every few steps. Gu Zezhi, who had been gathering his emotions, finally looked up and asked, "Where did Teacher Lin go?"
Fangfang snapped out of her thoughts and said, "Teacher Lin has finished filming her scenes for today. I just saw Yuanyuan packing her things; she must have gone back to the hotel."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zezhi had no choice but to continue reading the script, since he hadn't finished filming his scenes for the day.
After being provoked by Ning Meng, Yun Qing went straight back to the hotel and stayed in her room.
Ning Meng has already put enough pressure on her. She can't help but worry that Gu Zezhi will be taken away from her. Also, Ning Meng's certainty that she wouldn't dare to confess will be a big blow to her.
In this situation, it's understandable that she finally couldn't resist changing her previous cautious, secret crush and started to seduce Gu Zezhi, right?
Now she has to make sure this anger doesn't get out of control, and wait for the plot to unfold that night.
To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, she didn't even plan to listen to Gu Zezhi and Director Zhang's discussion about using a body double for tomorrow's intimate scene.
Since Gu Zezhi didn't film a kissing scene with Ning Meng, this incident didn't affect her that much.
Her intimate scenes with Gu Zezhi are quite crucial. Director Zhang has something he wants to express, so it's impossible for him to simply cut them like the kissing scenes between Gu Zezhi and Ning Meng. They will definitely be filmed.
Since Gu Zezhi couldn't film it himself, it was normal for him to use a stand-in.
She just wanted to feel that Gu Zezhi was treating her differently. She didn't want Ning Meng to be kissed by others, but she didn't mind her being kissed by others, which was a bit far-fetched.
Because she can also request to use a body double.
This plot has become dispensable, and there's no need for her to insist on it. If any unexpected complications arise and affect tonight's crucial plot, then it would be a loss.
She rubbed her forehead. The plot was a bit messy now, and she could only try her best to ensure that the overall plot didn't go wrong.
As long as she suffers a humiliating defeat and loses face at Gu Zezhi's hands, and then gets some stimulation from Ning Meng, she can smoothly transition into the dark side of the story and become a truly vicious female supporting character.
Then he begins to maliciously target the female lead, thus promoting the further development of the relationship between the male and female leads.
Everything should be back to normal then... right?
After finishing today's filming, Gu Zezhi wanted to take advantage of the remaining time to go over tomorrow's scenes with Yun Qing.
Even after arriving at the hotel, they were caught by Director Zhang.
"Zezhi, it's perfect to meet you. I was just looking for you."
Gu Zezhi: ...I don't really want you to contact me right now.
Director Zhang said directly, "What are your thoughts on tomorrow's intimate scene with Yun Qing? Do you want to change it too?"
Having witnessed how the deletion of Gu Zezhi and Ning Meng's kissing scene today actually pleased him, Director Zhang wondered if the intimate scenes between Gu Zezhi and Yun Qing could also be slightly modified.
If not completely, at least try to use fewer stand-ins.
Gu Zezhi paused for a moment, then said, "No need to change it, I should be able to film it."
When Gu Zezhi said there was no need to change it, Director Zhang didn't react much. After thinking about it, he felt that it was fine not to change it, so he decided to shoot according to the original plan.
But when he heard the second half of his sentence, Director Zhang was instantly shocked. "What? You can film it? You mean you'll film it yourself?!"
"Ah."
Director Zhang was shocked for a while before he slowly came to his senses.
He raised an eyebrow, sized up Gu Zezhi, and chuckled, "You kid... I was wondering why you suddenly seemed so knowledgeable about relationships. Turns out you've finally blossomed!"
"They even overcame my germaphobia; love is truly amazing!"
Then, as if he had just thought of something, he suddenly started spinning in circles, looking so excited he didn't know what to do, muttering to himself:
"Now we can kiss however we want, and get close-ups however we want, right? Just these two faces, tsk tsk... the audience is in for a treat."
"Zezhi...Zezhi? Why did he run away? I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Gu Zezhi went back to his room to take a shower, and then prepared to professionally go and rehearse with Yun Qing.
Before he could even leave the house, there was a knock on the door.
Gu Zezhi: ...Director Zhang won't come knocking on our door again, will he? Or did Fangfang fail to stop that newcomer?
He just wanted to rehearse a scene with Yun Qing, why is it so difficult?
