Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 158 Zhu Qizhen VS Zhu Qiyu

……

"Wow~ Xiao Gu, how romantic!"

"In the first season, Baby tore off name tags for you; in the second season, you tore them off for Baby."

"How else can you tear each other apart in season three?"

Deng Chao spoke with great anticipation.

"..."

Gu Qing fell silent, frowning as he looked at the production team.

But Wu Tong looked embarrassed and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"Are they even going to use this for publicity?"

Gu Qing felt annoyed.

He wanted to explain directly.

Seeing the joy on the faces of Deng Chao and Chen Chichi, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"Congratulations to Baby for winning and becoming the only member who can escape from the deserted island."

The production team stated, "The remaining six members, unable to escape, can only survive on the island. In their final moments, they can write a letter to the strongest ability user of this year's competition."

Similarly, Baby can also choose to reply to each member.

"Director, do we really have to go this emotional?"

Just listening to it made Chen Chichi so emotional that he almost cried.

"Director, I'm going to cry too."

Yang Ying pouted, "Can I not leave?"

"No, if you don't leave, wouldn't that be letting down Xiao Gu's good intentions?"

Seeing Gu Qing bowing his head and remaining silent, Wu Tong forced a smile.

The production team brought over paper and pens.

The members sat in chairs, bathed in the dim light of the setting sun, and the joyful atmosphere was tinged with a touch of sadness.

Gu Qing thought for a long time before finally writing a sentence:

"Act well, cherish life, and don't let down any of your fans."

At the end of the program,
Team leader Deng Chao, in his closing remarks for the season, said, "Dear viewers, 'Running Man' is still just a baby."
We still need to grow, we need to learn to walk, and we need to learn to run. We seven brothers will never stop!

"Looking forward to running with you all again next year!"

"Finally, let's all come together."

The seven people, hand in hand, shouted in unison for the last time towards the camera:
"Run, brothers!!"

"Boss, aren't you going to read this letter?"

Zhao Ya took the envelope, but hesitated to speak.

"Put it away."

Gu Qing put on the blindfold.

Seeing it will only add to the sadness; it's better to keep it as a memento.

After returning to China,

Without taking a break, Gu Qing, along with her stylist and assistant, rushed to Hengdian to prepare for filming.

before this,

Boss Cai sent someone to deliver the completed script of "The Imperial Doctress" to him.

"Xiao Gu, Tangren said you can choose either of the two male leads. Just play whichever one you like. As for Huo Jianhua, they can handle the communication."

Li Li handed the script to Gu Qing, unsurprised by Tangren's obsequious attitude.

Why did Embroidered Spring Blade become so popular?
It's all thanks to the influence of her baby!

This also allowed Liu Shishi to benefit from the film industry's rapid rise in popularity. Other companies would have been groveling in gratitude long ago.

"Let me take a look first."

While there was still some time, Gu Qing took the opportunity to flip through the script on the chair.

before this,

He was unfamiliar with "The Imperial Doctress".
I only saw it later when I was watching videos.
Some commenters praised the costumes, props, and sets of this drama as the pinnacle of Ming Dynasty productions, and the drama even won a major television award that year.

Gu Qing still held onto hope.
When he turned to the first page of the script...
The names of the two main characters made his eyes widen in shock, leaving him utterly dumbfounded.

"Zhu Qizhen? Zhu Qiyu?!"

To paraphrase Old Deng, he really wanted to ask Tangren, "What are you doing?!"

Could these two be used to film a Mary Sue idol drama?

Gu Qing's previous reading of "Zizhi Tongjian" and various other historical books was not for nothing.

Especially after filming "Brotherhood of Blades",

He even read through the history of the Ming Dynasty, gaining a general understanding of the character of each emperor.

Or to put it another way: you don't even need someone who is well-versed in history.
Who doesn't know "Zhu Qizhen, the God of War of the Ming Dynasty"?
A historically renowned war god,

My beloved Meng has two of them: one is Li Jinglong, the God of War of the Jingnan Campaign, and the other is Zhu Qizhen, the God of War of the Tumu Fortress Campaign.

They are all people who would be better than a pig even if they were put in their place.

Gu Qing endured the discomfort, quickly flipped through the script, and then, as if poisoned, leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples without uttering a word.

This show was actually popular back then?!

He somewhat regretted why he had chosen to study history.

When I saw the last part of the script
When Zhu Qiyu lay dying on his sickbed, he dragged his ailing body to his feet and bowed to Zhu Qizhen, who had rushed to his aid.

"Your Majesty, I have always owed you an apology. Please forgive me, for the sake of our past relationship..."

then…

Zhu Qiyu begged Zhu Qizhen to succeed him to the throne.

Zhu Qizhen reluctantly accepted it.

Worri…

Gu Qing wanted to gouge out her own eyes.

What exactly did he see?!

"Xiao Gu, don't you like it?"

Li Li said, puzzled, "I read the script and it's pretty good. Both male leads are quite charming."
A devoted male lead and a lovestruck second male lead vie for the female lead, creating a heart-wrenching drama that viewers will absolutely love!

Especially in the finale, the two brothers reconciled, which is a refreshing change from the typical male lead and second male lead conflicts in TV dramas.

"Sister Li, did you know that these two are historical figures?"

Gu Qing emphasized his words.

"Of course I know, weren't they the emperors of the Ming Dynasty?"

Li Li nodded, puzzled.

"But this script is completely unrealistic!"

"That's not important. It's just an idol drama, for the audience to watch. Why take it so seriously?"

"If we were to actually film a historical drama, how much money would that cost? There aren't many scripts left to film in Hengdian."

"But this drama has smeared Zhu Qiyu too much. After it airs, he will definitely be criticized by professionals."

"Too many professionals criticize it. Didn't 'Empresses in the Palace' get criticized too? But did that affect their popularity?"

Li Li waved her hand dismissively and said with a smile, "Xiao Gu, you can play Zhu Qizhen. He ends up with the female lead. Although it's a dual male lead drama, he'll definitely be the lead actor."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Gu Qing reacted strongly, "If you want me to play this drastically altered version of Zhu Qizhen, I'll retire from the entertainment industry tomorrow!"

He would rather play the real historical Zhu Qizhen than this drastically altered version of the wise and mighty Zhu Qizhen!
His conscience wouldn't allow it.

"What about Zhu Qiyu?"

"Neither!"

"Xiao Gu, what are you going to do?"

Li Li was worried. "The contract has been agreed upon. We can't just stand them up, can we?"

“I sent the script back to Tangren Media for revision. I want it to be more historically accurate. This is too fake; I can’t act it out.”

Gu Qing would never dare to play the second male lead again, even if you beat him to death.

When Er Yuehong was chosen to play the role in The Mystic Nine, fans were already arguing fiercely. If they do it again, wouldn't it be a disaster?
"How can we change this?"

Li Li was completely at a loss.

She felt it was best to leave this troublesome problem to Tangren.

……

When Boss Cai received the rejected script, her round face was full of question marks. "I think Zhu Qizhen is too good, I don't want to play him. I think Zhu Qiyu is too bad, I don't want to play him either?"

"Little brother, are you messing with your sister?!"

"Weiwei, how do you think it should be changed?"

Mr. Cai looked at a woman with a neat short haircut next to him.

This is the well-known editor she found: 'Zhang Wei'.

He wrote many hit dramas:

Early works include "A Perfect Match", "Du Lala's Promotion", and "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves".

And then there's Zhao Liying's blockbuster hit from last year: *Legend of Lu Zhen*.

This year's hit urban drama: "A Little Reunion".

He also wrote scripts for three other hit TV dramas: *The Interpreter*, *A Little Reunion*, and *Fighter of the Destiny*.

as well as,

A film that made 'Blood Bull Fairy'

"The Dream of Splendor" returns to its peak!
