China Entertainment's whatever you want

Time passes day by day.

Filming for 【Lotus Pavilion】is proceeding smoothly.

After Yang Mi left, several female celebrities came to visit the set.

Most of the crew members were employees of [Wei Ming Tian Xia], so no one was surprised.

On set, after one shot was filmed, Chen Duling, dressed as a female warrior and holding a sword, stepped off the set to rest.

Although she is the female lead, she doesn't have many scenes.

【Lotus Tower】The main storyline revolves around the investigations of three people: “Li Lianhua”, “Fang Duobing”, and “Di Feisheng”. Although “Qiao Wanmian”, played by Chen Duling, is the “most beautiful woman in the martial arts world” and the male lead’s first love, her screen time is significantly less than that of the male characters.

On average, she appears for about 5 to 10 minutes per episode, sometimes in the form of flashbacks.

Despite being called the female lead, she didn't even have as much screen time as some of the supporting actresses in the individual episodes.

Although she didn't have many scenes, Chen Duling wasn't dissatisfied at all. She was already very content to have gotten this role and this hard-won opportunity.

Walking to the actors' rest area and sitting down, Chen Duling put down the sword in her hand, picked up the mineral water on the table and took a sip. Looking at Gu Wei, Zeng Shunxi and the others who were still filming on set, Chen Duling was filled with emotion.

It has been nine years since the filming of "The Left Ear".

Back then, she was an ordinary person, a complete novice in acting, and was only lucky enough to be selected by the director because of her looks and temperament.

At that time, Gu Wei had only recently become popular and was considered a rising star in the entertainment industry.

She had a strong liking for Gu Wei when filming "The Left Ear".

Gu Wei was incredibly handsome, with a great physique and personality. After spending a lot of time with him, and given that Chen Duling was at the age of young love at the time, it was hard for her not to like him.

In the film "The Left Ear," there were three main female actors. Guan Xiaotong was too young at the time, still in middle school. She called him "Brother Wei" every day, and they had a good relationship, but she didn't have any special feelings for him.

The characters played by Ma Sichun and Chen Duling both have romantic entanglements with Gu Wei, and both of them have some degree of affection for him.

Unfortunately, liking someone is one-sided, but love is a two-way street.

She could tell to some extent that Gu Wei didn't have any special feelings for her at the time.

After "The Left Ear," Chen Duling ultimately chose to enter the entertainment industry, and later lost contact with Gu Wei because there were no opportunities to work together.

Nine years have now passed.

She struggled and worked hard to gain a little fame in the industry, but Gu Wei was no longer the Gu Wei of the past. He was now a box office king, an international superstar, and a big boss of an entertainment company. The gap between the two was much larger than it had been nine years ago.

However, to her delight, she met Gu Wei again at the opening ceremony after many years, and he still sounded like the handsome and gentle male lead from back then.

Time has added a touch of maturity to him, but it hasn't changed his appearance or personality.

Although the two had not seen each other for many years, after Gu Wei took the initiative to chat with her for a while, Chen Duling felt as if she had returned to the filming crew of "The Left Ear".

"Dudu, guess who I saw?"

While she was still in a daze, Wang Herun tugged at Chen Duling's clothes and whispered something.

Wang Herun is the second female lead in this drama, playing the villainous character "Jiao Liqiao".

More than a month after filming began on 【Lotus Pavilion】, she and Chen Duling have become quite familiar with each other.

"Who?" Chen Duling asked, puzzled.

"A big star!"

They're probably here to visit Brother Wei on set too. Wang Herun's face broke into a gossipy smile.

Chen Duling looked over in the direction Wang Herun pointed.

On the other side of the film crew, a figure wearing a light blue shirt, skinny jeans, a black baseball cap, and large sunglasses stood out among several staff members, with a very prominent figure and temperament.

"It looks so familiar."

Chen Duling frowned slightly, wondering who the figure was.

"You must recognize her. The most popular TV series at the beginning of the year was the one she co-starred in with Wei Ge. The two of them even won the Weibo King and Queen awards."

"Liu Yifei!"

Wang Herun reminded her, and Chen Duling immediately realized what was going on.

"It's not surprising that she came to visit Brother Wei on set; they've been friends for over ten years."

Wang Herun's face lit up with a gossipy smile: "I feel that their relationship is more than just friends. Maybe, as the media says, they are dating in private."

Although several female celebrities have come to visit Brother Wei on set during this period, I think Liu Yifei is the best match for him.

I absolutely love "Go to a Windy Place," Xu Hongdou and Xie Zhiyao are so awesome!

Chen Duling rolled her eyes at her: "When Brother Wei is off set later, repeat what you said to him again."

"Hehe, shipping couples is normal, very normal."

As the two chatted, the scene being filmed on set came to an end, and the actors went offstage to rest.

Wang Herun saw Gu Wei and Liu Yifei together after the performance, and pulled Chen Duling over.

Gu Wei noticed the two approaching and introduced them to Liu Yifei.

Chen Duling greeted him reservedly, while Wang Herun was much more proactive.

"Sister Yifei, you're so beautiful! You're even more gorgeous in person than on TV!"

"Thank you. You are very beautiful too. This red dress suits your temperament very well and gives you a heroic air."

Liu Yifei praised her with a smile.

"Haha, it's alright."

After chatting for a while, Chen Duling and Wang Herun tactfully left.

"You have a great temperament as the female lead, you have a kind of aloof and innocent feeling."

Although Chen Duling hadn't said much during their chat, her outstanding appearance and unique temperament still caught Liu Yifei's attention.

"I've seen your film 'The Left Ear,' and the real person is almost identical to the character in the movie."

Gu Wei laughed and said, "When casting for 'The Left Ear,' the director and screenwriter chose her based on the role."

Dudu wasn't formally trained, and at that time she had absolutely no acting skills; she played roles that reflected her own personality.

However, things are much better now; my acting skills have improved considerably over the years.

Don't you think she looks a lot like you when you debuted?

Liu Yifei knew what Gu Wei meant and shook her head.

"No, when I filmed 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' and 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils,' I only played the roles of 'Little Dragon Girl' and 'Fairy Sister.' I am not fairy-like at all in real life."

I think I was quite lively back then; my temperament was rather agile.

"Haha~" Liu Yifei's self-evaluation amused Gu Wei. "You're not busy lately, are you? Why don't you stay with me for a few more days?"

"I'm not busy, but I don't film either. What would it be like for me to stay on your set?"

I wouldn't have come if I hadn't promised to visit you on set.

Besides, I'm afraid it would be awkward if you stayed a few more days and other girls came to visit you on set.”

Liu Yifei had obviously seen the news in the past few days.

It's no secret that Gu Wei is filming a new movie, especially in a place like Hengdian.

Female celebrities visiting the set are occasionally photographed by paparazzi. They don't cause a huge uproar, but they are more or less considered gossip.

Gu Wei was slightly embarrassed, but he didn't argue and instead casually changed the subject.

Did you see the news that Hu Ge announced the birth of his child a few days ago?

Hu Ge and Liu Yifei are old acquaintances, but their relationship is similar to that of Gu Wei and Chen Duling. They worked together once a long time ago, and then lost contact for a long time because they didn't have any business dealings.

"I saw it."

Unexpectedly, he got married quietly, only making it public after having a child.

A hint of reminiscence flashed in Liu Yifei's eyes, and her tone was full of emotion.

When they filmed "Chinese Paladin 1", she was 16 years old and Hu Ge was 23.

Now, nearly 20 years later, Hu Ge is married and has children, and her career and love life have become more stable.

Thinking of this, Liu Yifei's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at Gu Wei again.

"What, are you envious?"
I envy that you can have a child too.

"There are plenty of men willing to have your babies."

"So, Qianqian, are you willing?" Gu Wei asked with a smile.

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at him and didn't say anything.

Despite saying she didn't want to stay long, Liu Yifei still stayed at Gu Wei's place for three days.

She really hasn't had anything going on lately.

He has no new film or television projects, does not appear on variety shows, and does not perform at commercial events.

After completing her endorsement duties for the brand, she had almost no work to do.

This is also the lifestyle that Liu Yifei likes.

I'm leaving tomorrow~

In a luxurious villa, on the large bed in the bedroom, two alluring bodies entangled for a long time before finally relaxing.

Gu Wei also has his own house in Hengdian. Since Liu Yifei is not an actor in the crew, it is not convenient for her to stay in the crew's hotel. So he arranged for her to stay in a villa in Hengdian.

Liu Yifei rested her head on Gu Wei's chest, her long, wavy hair cascading down.

A shapely, firm leg straddled his body, and an arm wrapped around it.

This position made her feel safer and more comfortable.

Gu Wei gently stroked the other person's hair.

"Aren't you unemployed lately?"

"I'm not working, but I've made plans to travel with Liangying."

Zhang Liangying is Liu Yifei's good friend and true best friend for many years.

Friendships in the entertainment industry are worthless. Many good brothers and best friends who started out as close friends eventually parted ways because of interests.

Liu Yifei and Zhang Liangying have known each other for a long time and their personalities are very compatible. In addition, one is in the film and television industry and the other is in the music industry, so there is no conflict of interest between them, which is why their friendship has lasted until now.

"Where are you going?"

"Liangying wants to go to New Zealand."

She wanted to visit the Shire, the filming location for The Lord of the Rings, in Middle-earth.

We also want to go to Kaikoura to see sperm whales and to Orakki Mackenzie to see the stars.

Gu Wei thought for a moment: "Hobbiton has become a world-famous tourist destination since 'The Lord of the Rings' was filmed there, attracting many tourists."

If you're going, I suggest you take proper security measures.

There are many Chinese people in New Zealand, and even more Chinese tourists used to visit.

I can help you see sperm whales.

I have a private island near Auckland that's already built. There are private yachts on the island that you can take to see whales.

Of course, you can also have fun on the island.

After I bought Slipper Island, I renovated it for nearly a year. In addition to the beach and waves, there are now many recreational facilities.

Besides you and Zhang Liangying, you can also bring your aunt along for a vacation.

It's a private island, completely free of outsiders, and you don't have to worry about being photographed.

All staff on the island are at your service.

Gu Wei's words were very tempting and moved Liu Yifei.

She propped herself up and looked down at Gu Wei: "Why are you suddenly being so nice to me?"

"Isn't it only right that I treat you well?"

You don't like it?

"If I weren't so busy with work, I could actually come with you." Gu Wei put his hands behind his head and looked at Liu Yifei.

From this angle, the other party's alluring scenery is on full display.

"I'll go by myself this time."

"It's a promise, you owe me a trip with you."

Liu Yifei lowered her head, and the two of them, face to face, gently touched nose to nose.

Although it was somewhat unreasonable, Gu Wei still smiled and agreed, "Okay, I think we'll have a chance in the future."

The moment the words left their mouths, their lips met in a deep kiss.

The night was slightly cool, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.

The willow branches outside the window swayed rhythmically in the night breeze. (End of Chapter)
