Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 148 Zhang Zheng: The female lead's acting is like a magazine.

……

……

“Brother Lu, if you kneel down like this, the news tomorrow will say I’m acting like a big shot and bullying an old person.”

Gu Qing quickly pulled the person up.

The two walked onto the stage.

"Brother, you're the undisputed star of our crew!"

With a radiant smile, Lu Yang put his arm around Gu Qing's shoulder and addressed the reporters below the stage, "Before this, I always scoffed at the acting skills of young male idols, but Gu Qing's performance completely overturned my perception."

I'm sure you'll be just as amazed by his performance after watching this movie. Only a young heartthrob like my brother deserves to be a top star!

When Gu Qing saw that the reporters' eyes were all red, he knew that something bad was about to happen.

Brother Lu, I wasn't even cocky after filming the movie, how come you're all cocky now?

This is a generalization.

"Gu Qing, do you also think so?" a reporter asked.

Gu Qing: "Of course."

Reporters: "..."

You admitted it quite readily.

No matter how they try to explain it back, reporters will still take things out of context.

Gu Qing has also let loose, and it's a good opportunity to get revenge for being scolded by those two top-tier fans last time.

"If any celebrity is as handsome as me and has such serious acting skills, they would definitely be a top star."

Gu Qing said very seriously.

"Pfft-"

Standing on the right, Liu Shishi smiled sweetly at Gu Qing's boastful remarks and secretly rolled her eyes at him.

Zhang Zheng and the others couldn't help but laugh.

"Shishi, I want to ask why there is a confession scene in the film where Gu Qing makes a cameo appearance as your partner."

A reporter continued, "Especially last week, you and Gu Qing attended the comic convention together and even cosplayed in matching outfits. Are you about to go public with your relationship?"

"Going public with your relationship?"

Liu Shishi's almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly shook her head, "This is fake, we just have a very good relationship."

"How good is it?" the reporter pressed.

"Um...like...like siblings!"

Liu Shishi was just about to give herself a thumbs up for her cleverness.

however,
"Oh~~"

All the reporters in the room asked in unison, drawing out their words, "Like Yang Ying and Gu Qing before?"

Gu Qing: "..."

"Kakaka-"

Countless spotlights were aimed at Gu Qing, and the shutter buttons were pressed, trying to capture what they wanted from his expression.

Gu Qing clenched her back teeth to make sure her facial expression remained unchanged.

"understood!"

Upon hearing about the sibling couple, Gu Qing's smile froze, seemingly still hurt by a past relationship and not yet over it.

Some reporters had already drafted headlines in their minds.

"Little brother, I'm so sorry!!"

After realizing what had happened, Liu Shishi blushed deeply, grabbed Gu Qing's arm, and almost buried her head in the ground.

"Dear brothers and sisters, can we talk about something related to movies?"

Taking advantage of her young age, Gu Qing used sweet words to change the subject.

"Okay, little brother Gu Qing, did you have any martial arts background before filming this drama?"

A kind female reporter let him off the hook.

"No."

Gu Qing shook her head.

"My third brother is a martial arts prodigy."

Zhang Zheng also helped him out of the predicament, saying, "He learns things very quickly. He can immediately perform the basic martial arts techniques that the instructor has taught him once. He also privately asks me to teach him boxing. He is really very smart."

As soon as he opened his mouth,
The reporters then remembered that Zhang Zhengcai was the protagonist of this movie.

"Zhang Zheng, I'd like to ask, how do you feel about acting alongside the young actress Liu Shishi in this drama?"

Do you feel it?

Zhang Zheng thought for a moment and said, "I think she is very calm, like a lake."

The reporters looked slightly disappointed, thinking that was the end of it.
did not expect,
Zhang Zheng continued, "When I was acting with her, I felt like we weren't acting, but rather shooting a fashion magazine."

Holy crap, another bombshell has dropped!

"Brotherhood of Blades male lead publicly mocks Liu Shishi's acting as if it's like a magazine shoot?!"

Now, with the explosive popularity of "Brotherhood of Blades"
In an attempt to smear China, our competitors...

The only major flaw in the entire series is Liu Shishi's acting.

In addition, as for the other actresses born in 85,

It's likely that behind the scenes, they didn't want to see Liu Shishi soar to the top, rising to fame in the film industry with "Brotherhood of Blades."

There are countless marketing accounts using various tricks to suppress and discredit others.

Zhang Zheng's words were like a spark that ignited a bomb.

Nothing could generate more buzz than the male lead publicly criticizing the female lead's acting skills in this drama!
"Zhang Zheng, do you also think Liu Shishi's acting is terrible?"

"On average, how many takes did she have to do during filming?"

Reporters rushed to ask questions.

"Ah?"

Zhang Zheng was a little confused.

He certainly disliked Liu Shishi's acting skills, but that didn't justify publicly berating the female lead.

The original meaning of this passage is...

He meant to compliment Liu Shishi on her good posture and beauty.

Who would have thought it would cause such a huge controversy?

Liu Shishi's cheeks were slightly pale, and she held the microphone, looking helpless.

Her poor acting skills have been a point of criticism since her debut.

But for one artist to say that another artist's acting skills are bad, especially in front of reporters, is just too cruel.

"Uh... Shishi's acting skills... no... no."

The person who is most panicked right now is obviously director Lu Yang.

Our show was just about to take off, why did you ruin it yourself?

I want to defend Liu Shishi.

But his poor acting skills were a fact, and he, a highly educated man, couldn't bring himself to lie.

"Director, do you also think Liu Shishi's acting is bad? Do you think that if you replaced her with a more talented young actress, the movie's box office would be better?"

"No, there are plenty of people with worse acting skills than Sisi."

"So you're admitting that Liu Shishi's acting is bad?"

"I……"

Lu Yang was lured into the conversation by the reporter.

"Gu Qing, you've also had scenes with Liu Shishi. Do you think her acting is really that bad?"

The reporter wanted to ask everyone a question.

Liu Shishi's face turned pale, and she lowered her head, wishing she could run backstage and escape the scene right now.

Which celebrity can stand being attacked repeatedly in public?

"It's pretty bad."

Gu Qing nodded casually.

"Wow—"

The cheers from the audience rose even higher, and the reporters became excited; this was the first time someone had directly admitted it.
Liu Shishi raised her head, her eyes reddening.

The reporters were about to bombard them with questions.

"As you all know, it's very difficult for someone like us, who's just a pretty face, to have good acting skills at the beginning."

Gu Qing continued, "The worst actors in the entire crew are my senior sister and me. We usually compete to be the last one, to see who has fewer takes."

At first, she was a little better than me, after all, she was a senior.

But later,
I had a sudden epiphany, and went from last place to second-to-last.

Gu Qing paused for a moment,

He turned his head and met Liu Shishi's gaze, smiled brightly, and proactively held the microphone to her lips.

"Senior Sister, do you have any acceptance speech about getting last place?"

"you…"

Liu Shishi was slightly taken aback, then said angrily, "What's so great about being second to last!"

"It's better than being last."

Gu Qing nudged Zhang Zheng with her hand, "Second Brother, don't you think so?"

"Yes, yes, uh... no."

Zhang Zheng was a little incoherent. He put his hand on Gu Qing's shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze to express his gratitude.

The reporters in the audience were speechless.

But if you say Gu Qing is talking nonsense, then what he says is actually true!

The people on the stage,

Jin Shijie, the oldest among them, is a true veteran actor with numerous awards.

The next row, Wang Qianyuan, and Zhang Zheng are all award-winning actors.
As a result, Zhou Yiwei, who was previously unknown, also became a teacher at the film academy.

Can they shamelessly say that Gu Qing's acting skills are better than these other actors?
That also depends on whether the audience believes it!
