Huayu: Traffic is king

Chapter 20 He is so seductive
Gu Jingyi was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked away.

Today, Dilraba wore an exquisite beige dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps. The lights of the filming location behind her complemented each other, creating a beautiful landscape.

"Sister Reba, nice to meet you. I'm Gu Jingyi, please take care of me."

Gu Jingyi had a warm smile on his face, just like a friend he had known for a long time.

"Hello, Gu Jingyi."

Dilraba Dilmurat's expression was also very natural, and there was no sign of any dissatisfaction with being on par with the other actresses.

In fact, today's artists don't particularly care about these things. Having good works and good exposure is more important than anything else.

It was not until after 2019 that domestic entertainment gradually entered the era of tearing up the roles.

Time is running out and there is no time to make adjustments.

After the two met and greeted each other for the first time, they began recording the show.

The filming started with a short film, with Gu Jingyi and Dilraba Dilmurat both standing in the camera position.

After the two of them made an OK gesture to the camera, the shooting officially began.

The content of the short film is also very simple. Gu Jingyi, who was riding a bicycle, met a beautiful woman who amazed him in Shanghai.

Di Lieba was wearing a long dress, looking so gorgeous as if she had just come out of a banquet.

She glanced at Gu Jingyi without pausing for long.

The scene switches to two years later.

After graduation, Gu Jingyi, who successfully started his own business, met Dilraba Dilmurat again. The two met in a magnificent hotel and signed a contract for cooperation.

The plot is so simple that it's even a bit clichéd. The photographer mainly wanted to use the two people's good looks to show the fast pace of Shanghai in the camera.

For example, in the short film, Gu Jingyi's clothes at the beginning were somewhat childish student clothes.

Later, when he and his friends started a business, they changed into suits and ties, the attire typical of elites. During this period, Gu Jingyi changed into several sets of completely different clothes and styles, and also changed into many scenes.

He kept changing his outfits, and the filming locations tended to be more like the brightly lit areas unique to Shanghai.

The impression of this city is also gradually revealed in the hearts of the audience.

These interactions are fairly standard in photoshoots. Twenty years ago, Bazaar didn't even have the nickname "Bazaar Dating Agency." The collaborative short films of this period also fully embraced the East Asian entertainment industry's philosophy of avoiding suspicion, with no unnecessary interaction between men and women.

It perfectly matches what fans of both sides want, and the conflict between them will not be too high.

But because a few encounter elements were added, it has made some breakthroughs compared to the past.

The last shot of the short film shows the two reuniting in a hotel after signing the contract. Both parties stand up again, and Dilraba Dilmurat and Gu Jingyi shake hands to end the conversation.

When Gu Jingyi shook hands, a barely perceptible smile flashed across his eyes.

It was as if all his efforts were just for this day. The hunter spent two years setting up a trap to get closer to his prey.

When the shrewd hunter saw the prey fall into the trap without noticing, his face remained calm.

But a hint of pride after achieving his goal still leaked out from his eyes.

Gu Jingyi's slight changes made the entire short film more profound.

The eye contact when we first met on the street was more than just a heart-throb.

He smiled at Dilraba Dilmurat and quietly left a mark on her.

Chen Man, who was outside the camera, froze in her tracks. Although this little gesture was added temporarily, it was very appropriate for this situation.

After careful consideration, she did not stop it, but kept this shot as the freeze frame at the end of the short film.

"Cut!"

Gu Jingyi didn't look away so quickly. He was a few beats late before looking away.

Di Lieba turned her head awkwardly, seeming to be a little shy.

Inside the studio, Chen Man couldn't help but walk up to Gu Jingyi and tease him:
"Jingyi, although Reba is indeed very beautiful, we are still working. Didn't you just act like it was real for a moment and couldn't tell the difference between the real and the fake?"

"No, I think the male protagonist in the short film should be in this mood."

Gu Jingyi waved his hand and expressed his understanding.

"If I were the male lead in the short film, the emotions in my eyes when we met again would be even more complicated. I always have a feeling that the collaboration between the male and female leads is not accidental but inevitable."

"It's like he works hard just to stand higher. Through the opportunity of cooperation, he can make the heartbeat of his youth come true." Di Lieba didn't say anything, but she felt that Gu Jingyi was a little strange.

When most people shoot fashion short films, they follow the script step by step.

There are very few people like Gu Jingyi who can pay attention to every detail and interpret their own understanding.

But Chen Man's reaction was a little excited. She hurried away after shouting "Cut".

Maybe because she didn't go far, Gu Jingyi could vaguely hear her reporting something to her superiors.

Di Lieba glanced at Gu Jingyi and then looked away.

She didn't really dislike this little action, but she found it a little strange.

This little episode with Gu Jingyi made her look forward to the subsequent double cover.

I wonder if there will be any new understanding of this "campus first love male god" who suddenly appeared.

Gu Jingyi did not take this opportunity to build relationships. He stood calmly by the side, admiring the night view.

Di Lieba also stood still, with no intention of speaking.

In this quiet night, Dilireba's thoughts surged like the overflowing spring water.

17 was the year when her status rose to the top, but her resources did not keep up.

In other words, Dilraba Dilmurat's current traffic has completely exceeded her status and resources.

Although Di Lieba has expanded her popularity among the nation through variety shows, many people in the circle do not regard her as a celebrity.

She has just entered the fashion circle, and is still taking on notoriously bad TV series in the film and television industry.

It wasn't Dilraba herself who wanted to take the role, but rather Jiaxing wanted to reach a bet agreement. They ignored Dilraba's career prospects and continued to exploit her surplus value.

Having just finished filming an internal drama for Jiaxing, he is about to start filming a new drama with an artist from the same company as the male lead.

This leads to the fact that the works that an artist relies on for her livelihood are naturally inferior to others.

After the filming of "Legend of the Phoenix" was completed, she did raise her opinions with the company.

The unanimous silence from top to bottom made Dilraba Dilmurat feel cold.

The fifth season of "Running Man" has ended, but the most fundamental problem of subsequent film and television resources remains unresolved.

What's the next step for her?

On this night, her current experiences and her boundless imagination of the future were mixed together in her mind.

A huge cloud of doubts surged in Dilraba's heart, spreading gradually with the wind. It spread into a cloud of mist that trapped her and made her unable to extricate herself.

December in Shanghai was bitterly cold. The damp, cold weather characteristic of the south was like a leech, the biting north wind sweeping through my body the moment it touched my skin.

Di Lieba only wore a beige open-collar skirt today, and her long, slender and well-proportioned legs were exposed outside the skirt, which was beautiful.

The wind was also dazzled and rushed directly towards Dilraba's pair of white, glowing and dazzling legs.

Then, along the texture of the skin, the coldness seeped into it inch by inch.

Dilireba couldn't help but shiver a little, and some small bumps appeared on her legs.

There were only staff members outside the venue, and the artist team was not there.

Di Lieba could only grit her teeth and endure it silently.

Suddenly, the biting north wind seemed to disappear from perception.

When Di Lieba raised her eyes, she saw a wall of people.

Gu Jingyi stood more than ten steps away from her and adjusted his position to stand right in front of her.

He used his body to block the bleak cold wind for her.

Their eyes met, then quickly looked away.

Gu Jingyi said, "Kneel down, I'll block it for you."

　Thanks to Suyuan Guilaisheng for the two 10,000-yuan reward, and thanks to Yinfeng Daizang for the 1,000-yuan reward.
