Huayu: Traffic is king

Chapter 109 Master Pua
Dilraba's heart was in turmoil, and she looked at Gu Jingyi infatuatedly. Her beautiful eyes were filled with intoxication, and her gaze was distracted.

The teardrop mole that was touched by Gu Jingyi was like a mechanism being opened.

After a few seconds, Dilireba bit her lower lip and looked at him in a daze.

"You did it on purpose..."

She lowered her voice, and for no reason, she sounded a little more confused.

"Gu Jingyi, you are deliberately bullying me. You didn't come when "One Thousand and One Nights" invited you before, and now you are using this as an excuse to bully me."

"You understand now? You're not so stupid."

Gu Jingyi pulled away and sat back down.

He took out a tablet and motioned Dilraba to look over.

"Now, Mr. Gu, please analyze why you didn't take on 'One Thousand and One Nights' before."

Gu Jingyi glanced at Dilireba, who was still confused, and laughed. He bent his fingers and tapped the tablet lightly, signaling Dilireba to look over.

"This script has so many flaws I don't even know how to complain about it. But I think you weren't suitable for the female lead from the start. I can tell Ling Ling Qi's character is the standard silly and sweet. The 2015 Zhao Xiaodao drama was also a silly and sweet drama, but the female lead didn't chase after him."

Di Lieba was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time to realize that the guy in front of her was right.

Gu Jingyi continued to speak in a dignified manner, "TV dramas also require a sense of immersion. You have to be good-looking, popular with the audience, and even more popular than Deng Lun. It's a bit unrealistic for you to pursue him."

Dilireba's lips moved, and she was about to say something. Gu Jingyi interrupted her urgently, "Don't say that TV audiences are all immersed in the show. Domestic idol dramas are almost all fans and casual fans. They come just for you. It takes a long time for them to really immerse themselves in the character."

"You're already this popular. You have the looks, the audience appeal, and the popularity with passers-by. Why do you need to play the role of a nymphomaniac heroine again? I can understand Jiahang finding scripts for you based on Gao Wen's character, but you weren't popular before. The second female lead in current idol dramas is either vicious or unrequited, so it's normal for them to pursue the man they love. You're already a top female star now, so it would be very out of place to play the heroine who pursues the man they love or plays an ugly role."

Di Lieba lowered her head and fiddled with the ends of her hair, feeling inexplicably guilty.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? My drama 'Pretty Li Huizhen' has already finished airing..."

When mentioning this drama, Gu Jingyi's mouth twitched.

"Teacher Reba, the only reason you're still popular is that your looks are irreplaceable. What on earth are you thinking at Jiahang? Why do you always give you roles like this..."

Dilireba covered her mouth and smiled, "It's an internal drama, promoting newcomers."

"Okay, I suggest that you focus on foreign dramas in the future. If you really don't know how to choose foreign drama scripts, you can ask the people in your company."

Gu Jingyi casually took a bottle of ice soda from the small refrigerator in the RV, tilted his head back and drank it in two or three gulps.

His Adam's apple moved up and down, and the veins on his neck were particularly prominent.

Di Lieba couldn't take her eyes away, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised up and then tried to press them down.

After Gu Jingyi finished drinking and threw it into the trash can, she asked, "Didn't Teacher Gu say Jiahang had poor taste? Why do you want me to ask them again?"

Gu Jingyi naturally took out a pack of wet wipes from Dilraba's bag and wiped his mouth and hands.

I'll have time to reply after everything is cleaned up.

"Do you know Im Yoona?"

Dilraba was stunned for a moment. "Why are you suddenly mentioning K-pop artists? Although there's a ban now, Im Yoona is very well-known in both China and South Korea. In 2015, she starred in the blockbuster film "God of War Zhao Zilong" with Lin Gengxin. She has rare resources. It's impossible for me not to know her..."

The further she spoke, the weaker her voice became.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but Di Lieba always felt that Gu Jingyi was a little aggressive today.

For every sentence, she would think about whether Gu Jingyi had any hidden meaning.

She always felt that this guy was secretly trying to touch her.

"She's actually quite similar to you..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Di Lieba became a little impatient.

"Ah, how are they alike? My eyes are bigger than hers, and my figure is better than hers! We just don't have the same style, right? I'm prettier than her!"

It's no wonder that Dilraba Dilmurat is so irritable. In addition to her pure looks and high emotional intelligence, Lin Yuner also has a very famous nickname, Lin Pingzhi.

Fans also joked that words like "Lin Yuna looked down and saw her shoes", "Blue Dragon Film Queen", and "Ten years of acting fan, uninvited" are all nicknames given to this hot woman by "Yunqi".

No wonder Dilraba Dilmurat instantly thought of that. It really hurts a woman's self-esteem.

If Yoona looked down to see her shoes, then Dilraba Dilmurat looked down to see her toes.

Gu Jingyi smiled and dodged her aggressive moves. "Can you use your clever little brain to think about it again? Am I that kind of vulgar man? Senior Yoona is my idol. How could I possibly say that you look like her based on your figure?"

Just kidding, Gu Jingyi has never fought a battle that didn't make him rich. His aesthetic is that of a queen and a sweetheart.

With Lin Yuner's small body, it seems that it is not impossible...

Everyone has different aesthetic tastes and preferences, but appearance can make up for this shortcoming.

Anyway, it's the same from the back...

Seeing that he was distracted again, Di Lieba pinched Gu Jingyi's waist in annoyance.

"Ah, it hurts, let go."

"No, there's something wrong with your expression just now."

"Nonsense, I was seriously analyzing the similarities between Reba and Im Yoona."

"Really?" Dilireba suddenly smiled. She sat down calmly, glanced at Gu Jingyi out of the corner of her eye, and urged, "Then tell me, how are they alike?"

Her beautiful, narrow eyes were slightly narrowed, like a proud cat.

Gu Jingyi also sat down again and slowly straightened the wrinkles on his clothes.

He waited until Dilraba's expression became a little strained before he slowly replied, "You and she are both actors whose looks and popularity have sealed their reputations. Your debut roles are both iconic. This limits your acting options, and your agencies are holding you back. Both of you have had your TV series flop..."

Dilireba was about to argue, but she shut up again when she thought about the results of the internal drama.

"But you all have a lot of blood. You have enough fans and are popular with the public. As long as one work makes a splash, you can boost your popularity."

Lin Yuna was nominated for "Blue Dragon" twice in the future, and Dilraba Dilmurat shook off the decline with "You Are My Glory".

"So, don't be too anxious. You're different from other female artists of the same period. Even if your work doesn't get great ratings, it doesn't matter. Gao Wen and Feng Jiu have already made you popular with people of all ages. As long as one of your future works becomes a hit, you'll be able to dominate the charts."

"Do you know why you always take on bad movies?" Gu Jingyi lifted her chin slightly with the script and looked into her eyes with burning eyes.

"You trust Jiahang too much. When they asked you to take on 'Pretty Li Huizhen', didn't they say you needed to break through your image?"

"If you really don't know how to choose a script, you can use the reverse selection method. Whatever your company asks you to take, just rule it out. Anyway, whatever Jiahang chooses, it's bound to be bad."

Dilireba remained silent. She suddenly mustered up the courage to ask, "Can I ask you something? About the script..."

Hearing this, Gu Jingyi turned his head curiously and asked, "Are you serious?"

"Yeah, seriously."

Dilireba blinked her eyes and looked at him cutely.

"No, no need to talk."

Gu Jingyi waved his hand and refused.

"Hey, you really are."

Di Lieba was unable to catch her breath, and she looked at Gu Jingyi with some indignation.

"I'm very busy, and only my girlfriend has the permission to call me for consultation at any time." Gu Jingyi curved his eyes and smiled brightly at her.

This time, Di Lieba remained silent again.

"Wow, what are you thinking about? Teacher Reba"

Gu Jingyi lowered his head and poked her.

"too fast…"

Dilireba pouted, looking somewhat dissatisfied.

"How can it be fast? I didn't ask you to be my girlfriend. I'm very ambitious. Aren't there examples of top-tier relationships right there?"

Dilireba was really confused by him, "So... what do you want to do?"

"I don't know either. I just feel a little confused right now."

Gu Jingyi looked ahead in a daze, and his voice floated over.

"In fact, the script of "Ashes of Love" is not that good either. The character design of the male protagonist Xu Feng is completely different from the original novel. In the original novel, he is a brave and ambitious man, but he was written as a naive and innocent male protagonist."

"When faced with the choice between the third female lead who loved him and the female lead who didn't love him that much, he chose the female lead. This is the point I can't understand the most. If it were me, I would definitely choose the third female lead."

"Why?" Di Lieba suddenly panicked.

This was the first time that Gu Jingyi opened his heart to her, emotionally.

"Between the one who loves me and the one I love, I will unconditionally choose the one who loves me."

"I'm a person who's a bit cold-hearted, and to some extent, I don't even believe in love. I can't love someone wholeheartedly, and I don't want to experience the feeling of having my mind led astray. For me, love, besides being sweet, also means responsibility."

"I'm only 19 years old, and I've finally become a top star. Even if I'm really in a relationship, I have to be careful to hide it from my fans. I always feel sorry for my girlfriend and my fans. If she keeps it secret for me, it will be too hard for her to choose an underground relationship."

Gu Jingyi frowned, with a hint of indissoluble melancholy between his brows.

"What if the woman is willing?"

Di Lieba asked without thinking.

"Forget it, I don't want to delay others."

Gu Jingyi laughed self-deprecatingly, "I was voted for by my fans in the talent show. If I make it public, she will definitely be scolded by my fans. If I don't make it public, it will be unfair to her."

"So, Ms. Reba, just treat it as a joke. If you really want to ask me about script selection, you can send me a message. I'll get back to you when I have time."

Dilireba's mind was shaken, and her mood today was like riding a roller coaster.

Gu Jingyi came to visit her on set, and she was very happy. The two of them were flirting in the RV, and their feelings were heating up. She was shy but also looking forward to it, but when Gu Jingyi proposed love in the name of a joke, she was very happy.

Dilireba hesitated a bit. She had only known Gu Jingyi for less than half a year. Although he was indeed very outstanding and attracted her, she didn't want to finalize the relationship so quickly.

It wasn't just Lu Han who was affected by his relationship announcement; Guan Xiaotong was also pushed to the forefront.

It would feel awkward for a young actor to film with other actors after announcing his relationship.

Nowadays, in addition to the pre-production of TV dramas, there are also "business CPs" when the drama is broadcast.

Actors who are in a relationship are always at a disadvantage at this stage. No matter how hard they try to work with their co-stars, fans of the drama will not be able to keep them going.

Investors will also take this into consideration and give priority to actors who are not in a romantic relationship when there are actors with similar qualifications.

Gu Jingyi is really good and outstanding now, and it’s so wonderful to be in love with him.

But if she really wants to fall in love with Gu Jingyi, Di Lieba really has no confidence that she can go to the end with him.

The atmosphere was silent for a while, but Gu Jingyi was the first to break the silence.

He has to go to the "May Fourth Concert" tomorrow and really doesn't have time to waste on the stalemate.

"After filming for so long, it seems the only thing that can be changed is the ending. In the script you sent me, the ending is that Bai Hai is killed by a truck, right? That definitely can't be used."

"It could be written that the villain William deliberately hired a driver to cause an accident because Bai Hai had evidence of a commercial crime. A second before the truck hit, the windshield reflected William's shadow giving instructions on the phone in the distance. Bai Hai's dashcam captured all of this."

"Later, when Bai Hai was seriously injured and unconscious, his consciousness entered the ultimate dream. It was Ling Lingqi who analyzed Bai Hai's brain waves and discovered that his dream frequency matched the initial data from the 'Good Dream Bracelet'. To wake Bai Hai, she returned to the place where they first met in her dream."

"She brought back all the beautiful moments, and thanks to her efforts, Bai Hai dispelled the shadow of his childhood. After Bai Hai woke up, he proposed to Ling Ling Qi."

"This way, the scenes from the later episodes of 'One Thousand and One Nights' were successfully squeezed in, and it didn't affect the release date of 'Sweet Combat'."

Di Lieba was a little absent-minded. She was in no mood to listen to Gu Jingyi talking about work-related things.

She really wanted to ask how Gu Jingyi defined their relationship.

Did you feel moved but still remained rational, or did you not expect any result from the beginning?
If it is the former, she can make concessions.

She can get to know him longer and get to know him better.

There is no need to surprise the world by secretly falling in love with Gu Jingyi.

If it's the latter, then she'll really be "chasing her husband to the crematorium."

Gu Jingyi is another top star, and it is obvious that he has made half of his time available today just for her.

Today was a rare moment when he was able to relax. If he didn't take advantage of the opportunity to capture Gu Jingyi, his chances would be slim.

So should I take action?
Maybe it’s too white to give it to...

Dilireba was confused and caught in a battle.

"Teacher Reba, the director asked you to continue filming the next scene."

The assistant who was standing watch not far from the RV came in jogging.

Seeing the clear boundary between the two seats, I suddenly felt confused.

What's going on? Aren't Reba and Jingyi flirting?
Ah, is it possible that my first top-tier Chinese entertainment couple is going to be so bad?

……

"Reba, Cut, the status just now was wrong, start over."

When we took the next photo of Di Lieba, she was obviously distracted.

"Cut, it's still not right. Rest here for another fifteen minutes."

Di Lieba sat down to rest not far away, and Gu Jingyi took advantage of the director's break to come over.

"Director, don't be so anxious. Want one?"

He took out a box of soft Zhonghua cigarettes from his pocket and handed it over.

The director took it, and soon a puff of mist appeared.

"Jingyi, is there anything you want to say?"

Those who can direct on the set are all smart people, and the director asked when he was in a better mood.

Gu Jingyi took advantage of the time when he was in a better mood to tell the director about the changes to the ending that he had mentioned to Dilraba in the car.

The director's eyes lit up instantly. "Jingyi, please speak slowly. I'll take notes. It's really helpful. I need to release "Sweet Combat" and I'm really worried about how to compress the episodes."
