Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 411 Jing Tian's 'Bullying'? Sister Zhao Calls (6.5k)
……

……

The dinner party was coming to an end.

Gu Qing, who has transformed into a "personal male nanny," has finally succeeded in "feeding" the sulking Da Tiantian.

Yes, it means truly full, with a very full stomach.

"How's it going? Are you full?"

Gu Qing put down her chopsticks and looked at Jing Tian beside her, who had gone from being sullen to being gradually "tamed" by the food. Her tone carried a hint of relief after completing her task.

"I'm...I'm full."

Jing Tian covered her glistening, delicate mouth and almost let out a small, unladylike burp.

She looked down at the empty bowls and plates in front of her, her pretty face belatedly flushing with heat, and felt a pang of annoyance.

Why did she eat so much today?!
All her usual efforts to maintain her figure were completely forgotten as Gu Qing fed her bite after bite!
But somehow,
Whenever Gu Qing brought the chopsticks, still warm from his fingertips, to her lips and looked at her with those clear, smiling eyes, she couldn't help but want to open her mouth and take a bite.

One bite after another, as if under some kind of spell, I couldn't stop until my stomach gave me the signal that I was full.

however,
Deep down, Jing Tian had to admit that she actually enjoyed this feeling—the feeling of being meticulously cared for, gently fed, and even somewhat "pampered" and "indulged."

Or,

This is an emotional need that almost every woman, regardless of age or status, finds difficult to completely resist deep down.

That feeling of being treated specially and cherished can easily touch the softest part of your heart.

of course,

All of this has one crucial premise—the boy who makes these intimate gestures must be someone they have feelings for, or even someone they secretly love.

Otherwise, even the gentlest gesture will seem offensive.

Don't you see,
Known for her strong and iron-fisted approach in the business world, Ms. Dong occasionally reveals a rare, unseen shyness and smile when facing young subordinates or partners she greatly admires.

Gu Qing wasn't thinking about such deep things at the moment.

He simply thought...it was quite fun.

Every time I hand her food, I watch as Da Tian Tian's two signature, adorable little bunny teeth precisely bite into it.

Then his cheeks puffed out quickly, and he chewed intently like a little hamster hoarding food, his beautiful phoenix eyes even squinting slightly with satisfaction at the delicious taste...

The whole process was indeed full of a charming and endearing quality, making him want to continue "feeding" her and see her reaction.

"Xiao Nai, what are you laughing at?"

Jing Tian, ​​who was elegantly wiping her mouth with a tissue, looked up and saw Gu Qing staring at her with a barely suppressed smile on his lips. She immediately asked, feeling a little embarrassed.

"nothing,"

Gu Qing said sincerely, "I just think your bunny teeth are quite cute."

He said frankly that he felt this was a very distinctive and lively characteristic of Jing Tian.

It reminded him of Little Ears; both of them had a rabbit-like quality.

One is similar in spirit, the other in appearance.

……

"Isn't it...cute?"

Sweet words spoken unintentionally and from the heart are the most captivating.

Jing Tian's heart skipped a beat. She instinctively opened her cherry-like mouth, her two small front teeth, which she occasionally found somewhat bothersome, nervously biting her lower lip.
But then she realized what she had done, blushed, and quickly hid her teeth back, muttering somewhat embarrassedly to herself:
"I...I've always thought they were pretty ugly, not neat enough, and a bit protruding...I was even planning to get porcelain veneers at the hospital once my work was done, so they would be a row of neat, bright white ones."

Porcelain veneers?

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing kindly advised, "There's no need to go through that ordeal. You'll likely regret getting porcelain veneers."

When I was in South Korea, my company suggested I do it, but I refused outright.

"Once you do it, your teeth are basically 'ruined'."

From now on, you'll miss out on many delicious foods—cold, hard, sour, sticky…you'll be unable to tolerate even the slightest bit of stimulation. It's like starting a bland retirement diet prematurely—how boring is that?

"I really think you are very beautiful as you are now. Your teeth are small and straight, and your smile is very charming. It's your unique feature."

Be confident. There's really no need to suffer for the sake of so-called 'perfection,' and the result might not even be satisfactory.

The trend of porcelain veneers only became popular on a large scale in the Chinese entertainment industry during the era of traffic idols.

A large number of traffic stars who lack acting skills and are eager to attract fans with their appearance try to present a "flawless" image in front of the camera.

Many have embarked on the path of becoming "braces girls/breasts boys," grinding down their original teeth and fitting them with an excessively neat and shiny set of porcelain veneers.

however,
Trends come and go quickly. In just a few years, when audiences began to tire of the same old "masks," and when the market began to call for performances with substance and vitality again.

Those artists who had porcelain veneers started to regret it.

When they need to play a character, or any role that requires realism, the moment they open their mouths, their overly "perfect" teeth, gleaming with an eerie luster, instantly pull the audience out of the story, greatly limiting their acting range.

For film actors who strive for detail in shots and realism in their characters, the damage is particularly devastating.

Even worse,
Due to improper operation or individual constitution, some people experience protruding lips, darkened and receding gums after getting porcelain veneers.

Many celebrities even suffer from side effects such as the inability to close their lips naturally, making orthodontic treatment "as disfiguring."

Even not long ago,
Teacher Bai, who had a good relationship with Gu Qing, had also considered taking a picture of him preparing to go to the hospital, but Gu Qing dissuaded her in time.

"Xiao Nai, don't lie to me... Really? It can fail? Will there be such serious consequences?"

Jing Tian was so frightened by the scene he described that her pretty face turned pale, and she subconsciously pursed her lips.

She couldn't imagine appearing on camera with a protruding mouth and black gums; that would be worse than death for her.

"Senior, are there really that many disadvantages to porcelain veneers? But so many of my classmates are discussing it or have already gotten them done!"

Zhou Ye and Zhang Jingyi listened with wide eyes, their faces filled with shock and lingering fear.

Topics like cosmetic surgery and minor adjustments are almost daily "homework" for art school students.

Although the three major academies of Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, and Shanghai Theatre Academy will appropriately lower the admission priority for students with obvious signs of cosmetic surgery.

However, many students will make various adjustments after enrollment or as graduation approaches in order to look better on camera.

after all,

Naturally beautiful and flawless men and women are ultimately a very small minority.

With the aid of makeup, filters, lighting, and other techniques, how can one stand out in the star-studded entertainment industry?
Seeking help from cosmetic surgery is an almost unavoidable "shortcut" for many people.

Having a set of neat, white porcelain veneers is considered by many young celebrities as an "essential item" to enhance their appearance and star quality.

Seeing their skeptical expressions, Gu Qing patiently explained, "When I was a trainee in South Korea, the company would basically force or semi-force prospective artists to go to the hospital to get their teeth fixed."

Many of my predecessors who had done it found that within a few years, they couldn't eat many things anymore; their teeth became very fragile, and they couldn't even chew slightly hard meat, which they deeply regretted.

He offered a relatively moderate suggestion: "If you just want to whiten your teeth and make them look straighter and more beautiful, you can consider getting dental veneers."

Although veneers may occasionally fall off due to adhesion issues and require maintenance, they cause far less damage to the original teeth and have virtually no impact on normal eating.

For everyday filming, attending events, and walking the red carpet, the effect is more than sufficient.

Entertainment companies often pursue short-term profits and quick results, rarely considering the long-term development of their artists.

They will only strongly recommend methods like porcelain veneers that can quickly enhance "perfection" in front of the camera, without proactively informing people of the huge costs and risks hidden behind them.

In South Korea's fiercely competitive and rapidly evolving star-making industry, artists are often treated like disposable "materials" that are quickly packaged and consumed.

When it comes to the degree of exploitation and dark rules within the entertainment industry, the South Korean entertainment industry is arguably "a contender for second place" compared to the South Korean entertainment industry.

"Xiao Nai is absolutely right."

Director Lin Yufen, a seasoned veteran in the industry, also expressed his support.

She also dislikes transformations that are too "fake" and lack personal characteristics. "You three girls are all so naturally beautiful, each with your own unique charm."

It's good to take care of your skin and maintain a good condition. However, please avoid unnecessary surgery or random injections.

She earnestly warned, "If your face gets stiff from being hit and you can't make subtle expressions, what serious director would want to use an actor like that?"

"Then her acting roles will be limited; she'll only be able to grace the red carpet and be a pretty face."

As she spoke, she glanced at Jing Tian and joked, "Of course, Weiwei, your situation is special. Even if you really want to 'retire,' I guess someone can afford to support you."

Gu Qing and Lin Yufen's persuasive arguments, which combined examples with reason and evidence, completely dispelled Jing Tian, ​​Zhou Ye, and Zhang Jingyi's idea of ​​"porcelain veneers".

Especially Zhou Ye and Zhang Jingyi, unlike Jing Tian, ​​do not have a strong background or resources to back them up.
If the plastic surgery fails, their acting careers may truly be over, and the consequences would be unbearable for them.

"Then...then I'll listen to you and not do it."

Jing Tian stood up, reached out and took Gu Qing's arm, slightly raised her delicate and flawless face, blinked her phoenix eyes, and asked with a hint of coquetry and new trouble: "Great God, what do you think... I should get double eyelid surgery?"
I've heard that double eyelids can make eyes appear bigger and more expressive.

Didn't Brother Chen Long just get double eyelid surgery back then, and then his career started to go from strength to strength?

"you……"

Gu Qing looked at her already extremely beautiful, expressive phoenix eyes and felt both amused and exasperated.

He withdrew his hand and instead gently pinched her smooth, pinkish-white cheeks with both hands, using a mischievous force, like kneading dough, and pulled them outwards.

He said in a teasing tone, "Aren't you afraid that one cut will turn you into a 'sad frog'?"

Trust me, just stay the way you are now, and work with me to finish filming this drama. You'll definitely become famous!

Stop thinking about these trivial things all day.

After all,

Before Jing Tian could react and struggle to protest, he let go of her hand, neatly put on his mask and hat, turned around and walked out of the restaurant first.

Will it definitely... become famous?

Jing Tian covered her cheek, which was slightly red from being pinched but not painful, and stared blankly at Gu Qing's departing figure, her phoenix eyes glazed over, lost in thought.

……

After successfully completing the filming of the first crucial kissing scene,
Lin Yufen thankfully didn't cause any further trouble by "pressing in" or filming more intimate scenes.

The filming schedule seemed to have finally entered a calm harbor, with everything becoming more regular and peaceful, presenting a busy yet orderly and leisurely state.

For several days in a row,
The days passed in this relatively peaceful atmosphere.

At school, those students who were lucky enough to be selected to join the film crew as extras or minor characters were overjoyed and became the focus of attention in their classes.
She tirelessly recounted her experiences on set to her classmates, especially the details about the top-tier senior, Gu Qing. Those students who weren't selected, though disappointed, still discussed the drama "Love O2O" almost exclusively, both in class and during their free time.

The story unfolds between the lead actors Gu Qing and Jing Tian, ​​filled with envy and longing.

however,
There are always some "mischievous" or "enthusiastic" students who are not satisfied with hearsay.

They tried every means to break through the crew's security line and sneak into the filming location;

Alternatively, those student extras who have been selected might also risk secretly using their phones to film some "inside scenes" on set.
Especially regarding Gu Qing's every move, which was then shared privately or even uploaded to the internet.

Unsurprisingly, the focus of these candid shots was always on Gu Qing.

His focused profile while filming, the moments he rehearses with others during breaks, and even his casual demeanor while eating... all became subjects of his photography.

Several students were caught sneaking into the film set, causing considerable trouble for the crew.

Sometimes, just as Gu Qing was fully immersed in filming and building up her emotions, excited screams from female students would suddenly erupt from some unknown corner of the set, severely disrupting the filming process.

Even during the rare meal break, students would often rush over despite being stopped, just to get an autograph or a photo.

Worse,
Footage of the film crew shooting from various awkward angles and with blurry quality began to frequently circulate online, repeatedly trending on social media and sparking a great deal of attention and controversy.

The negative comments about Jing Tian being a "resource-backed" and "background-connected" actress, which had subsided somewhat due to Gu Qing's protection and the production team's cold treatment, were reignited and intensified.

Many netizens who were unaware of the facts followed suit and mocked Jing Tian, ​​pointing the finger directly at her.

Director Lin Yufen was so angry that she cursed and swore on set every day. She had to ensure the quality of filming while dealing with these ubiquitous harassments and negative public opinion, which put her under tremendous pressure.

Fortunately,

The Beijing Film Academy reacted swiftly this time, not only issuing a stern reprimand via campus broadcast but also disciplining the students involved.

Meanwhile, with the coordination of the school and the film crew, the security forces around the film crew were significantly strengthened, forming a more stringent defense.

Lin Yufen also made a firm decision, strictly limiting the entry and exit of personnel during non-filming hours, and even dismissing all supporting actors and extras who did not have scenes to film that day.
To minimize the risk of internal information leaks, all to preserve the last quiet creative space for the production team.

……

It's lunchtime again.

After a period of "reorganization," the film crew was noticeably quieter.

Apart from the essential creative team and core staff, there were almost no unfamiliar faces on site.

Even Zhang Jingyi and Zhou Ye, on days when there were no filming assignments, were "ruthlessly" sent back to the classroom by Lin Yufen.

They are strictly prohibited from lingering on set when they are not filming, in order to prevent too many people from attracting attention.

Gu Qing thus gained the rare opportunity to enjoy the "peace and quiet" of having a small dining table all to herself.

This tranquility is actually due to a secretly filmed video that surfaced yesterday.

In the picture,
Gu Qing was sitting quietly at the small table eating when Jing Tian suddenly skipped over, looking quite cheerful.
She reached out and ruffled his hair in a very affectionate manner, messing up his neatly styled hair.

Then,

Just as Gu Qing picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and was about to put it in his mouth, she swiftly bent down and snatched the food from his chopsticks and ate it.

The video ends with a shot of Gu Qing looking bewildered, holding empty chopsticks, her expression a mix of confusion and helplessness.

This seemingly playful video went viral immediately after it was released and is still trending on social media.

You might think this would be a "sweet rumor" that would cause a frenzy among CP fans?
But in reality, public opinion has gone to the other extreme.

Jing Tian has been accused of "workplace bullying" by angry Gu Qing's fans!

Seeing their idol's "aggrieved" look as their hair was ruffled and their food was taken away.

Gu Qing's fans are heartbroken!
What ambiguity? What sweetness?
nonexistent!

In their eyes, this was clearly a despicable "resource-backed celebrity" bullying their innocent and kind younger brother!

"What did my little brother do to deserve this? He's already a top star, why does he still have to put up with this kind of treatment on set?!"

"Is the power of capital really that great? Even top celebrities can't resist it?"

"My heart is breaking. My brother looks so thin. Is he not getting enough to eat on set and is he being abused?"

"He definitely won't get enough to eat! Didn't you see the food he painstakingly picked up was snatched away by Jing Tian in an instant?! That was clearly done on purpose!"

"She's bullying! Just because she's the female lead and has connections, she's bullying my little brother!"

In an instant, voices on the internet "shouting for justice" for Gu Qing arose, as if he had suffered a great injustice, comparable to "snow in June".

Although these fans' comments seem overly "imaginative" and "idiotic" to outsiders, and even laughable.

However, the sheer size of their fan base and the overwhelming momentum they generated created considerable public pressure.

As a result, Jing Tian was forced to be labeled with many negative tags, such as "bully" and "arrogant resource-backed person".

Although Gu Qing had her team post an explanation on social media immediately after the incident,
He said it was just normal banter between friends, that he and Jing Tian had a good relationship, and that he hoped people wouldn't overinterpret it.

Unfortunately, the results were minimal.

Instead, many people started to speculate about a conspiracy, believing that Gu Qing was forced to speak out or that her will was hijacked by the company, which made the situation more complicated.

This is another important reason why director Lin Yufen was so furious.

Unfounded negative public opinion can cause enormous potential damage to a TV series.

fortunately,

The series has only just started filming and there is still a long time before it airs, enough time for the internet's memory to be covered and diluted by new hot topics.

If this kind of thing were to break out at such a crucial time when the series is about to be released, the ratings would definitely suffer a drastic drop.

No audience will like a female lead who is suspected of "bullying".

……

Gu Qing was sitting alone at the small dining table, eating his lunch absentmindedly.

suddenly,

He caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure walking towards him out of the corner of his eye.

It's obviously Da Tian Tian.

A palpable sense of oppression enveloped her, and her steps were somewhat heavy.

"Weiwei, are you... alright?"

Gu Qing put down her chopsticks.

He could see the weariness that was hard to hide beneath her delicate makeup, especially around her eyes, where there were faint dark circles, clearly indicating that she hadn't rested well in the past few days.

"It's okay, what can happen to me?"

Jing Tian tried hard to force a relaxed smile, but the smile looked very forced.

She remembered Gu Qing's joking remark about the "sad frog."
She felt that her swollen eye bags and haggard expression made her look even worse than the sad frog, quite unlike the calm she claimed to be.

"Xiao Nai..."

She hesitated for a moment, her voice carrying a barely perceptible vulnerability and pleading tone, "I...can I sit across from you?"

She didn't want to go back to the closed, quiet RV to eat alone anymore; it would only make her overthink and get overwhelmed by malicious comments online.

Seeing her cautious demeanor, as if afraid of being rejected, Gu Qing said nothing, but simply reached out and took Jing Tian's slightly cold hand in his.

He pulled her to sit down in the empty seat next to him, instead of across the table.

"Sit here, don't think too much, let's eat first, okay?" His voice was very gentle.

"I……"

The warmth of his palm came from the back of her hand, and that long-lost, reassuring sense of security instantly shattered Jing Tian's long-standing defenses.

Feeling wronged, sad, resentful... all sorts of emotions surged out like a flood bursting its banks.

"Xiao Nai...they...how could they insult me ​​like that?"

Her voice choked with emotion as she gripped Gu Qing's hand tightly, "I'm not as bad as they say..."

I didn't mean to bully anyone, I just... just thought it was fun at the time..."

Tears fell like pearls from a broken string, rolling down their clasped hands and landing on their burning hot hands.

She lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly, and began to sob in suppressed sobs.

"Okay, okay, it has nothing to do with you. It's mainly because the person who took the photos is so awful. She even edited the footage maliciously. I clearly did fight back later."

“I even pinned you down, and she didn’t let go at all.”

Gu Qing cupped Jing Tian's cheek with one hand and used a tissue to wipe away her tears with the other, comforting her gently, "Don't cry, let's eat."

"Xiao Nai, I can't eat."

Gu Qing's comforting words only made Jing Tian cry even harder. She pressed her fair forehead against Gu Qing's shoulder, and her tears quickly soaked her clothes.

Gu Qing sighed inwardly.

He didn't expect the accident to happen so suddenly.

The fact that students were able to sneak in with their phones, bypassing multiple security checkpoints, to secretly film and then maliciously edit and publish the footage with such precision is truly chilling.

This also gave Gu Qing a deeper and clearer understanding of life under the "spotlight".

"Buzzing—"

Just as Gu Qing was gently comforting Jing Tian, ​​the phone on the dining table vibrated at an inopportune moment, and the screen lit up.

Gu Qing picked it up and glanced at it. Her expression instantly became somewhat subtle and stiff, even a little bewildered.

The incoming call information was clearly displayed on the screen.

[Sister Zhao's video call invitation]

He looked down at Jing Tian, ​​who was nestled in his arms, crying her eyes out, her shoulders still trembling slightly.
I glanced up at the constantly changing nickname and profile picture of Sister Zhao on the screen...

"What...what should we do?"

……
