Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 57 Stabbing Each Other in the Back
……

……

"Gu...Gu..."

"Brother Hua, just call me Gu Qing or Xiao Gu."

"Xiao Gu, I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now."

Huo Jianhua recalled that before filming began, his agent had shown him some clips about Gu Qing, in which many people called him "Little Gu," so he simply continued using that term.

"It's alright, Brother Hua. I'm new to acting, so there are some parts I don't understand. Please forgive me."

Gu Qing dared not accept Huo Jianhua's apology with a clear conscience.

If someone takes a picture of this and maliciously posts it online...

It's not impossible that he 'bullied' seniors in the film industry.

"Alright, Gu, Jianhua, calm down, let's continue."

Lin Yufen returned to the monitor and said through the walkie-talkie, "Remember when filming A-Gu, zoom in for a close-up, and when you hear that Shan Chunqiu killed Qingxu Daoist, give him a clear facial effect."

When you're questioning him later, give him a close-up of his profile, making sure to capture the sharpness at the corners of his eyes, understand?

"OK, Action!"

The curtain rises again.

This time, Huo Jianhua didn't falter, and his condition and expression were excellent.

However, when Gu Qing performed the second time, her emotions were slightly weaker and not as intense as when she first burst out.

Because the requirements for TV dramas are not high, as long as the acting is not too outrageous, many directors will just cut it off to speed up the process.

But Lin Yufen didn't want to just do a perfunctory job.

Having finally found a gem that could fulfill her past dream, she relentlessly pursued Gu Qing.

She will not say "pass" until she meets her best expectations.

Several times in a row,
Until the eighth time it was turned on,
Gu Qingcai regained the feeling of his first acting role after being in a state of existential doubt.

Even so,
The pent-up frustration and anger from the previous seven encounters were unleashed all at once, making the character even more fitting!
"Click—Perfect."

Lin Yufen was the first to applaud, and all the crew members quickly followed suit.

"Bai Zihua acted wonderfully!!"

"The Holy Ruler is so cool!!"

Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

The continuous NGs put him under immense pressure.

and,

This was also his first experience experiencing the difference between being an actor and a singer.

It's one thing to be deeply immersed in a role, but you also have to repeatedly evoke those emotions.

After Gu Qing finished, he felt mentally exhausted, which was much more tiring than singing.

Fortunately, it was lunchtime.

Although Gu Qing had previously said that he would eat boxed lunches like most extras.

However, the production team still set his meal allowance at least 100 yuan.

"Are you sure these few dishes cost a hundred yuan?"

Gu Qing sat on a small stool, looking at the dishes on the plate.

The dishes looked varied and exquisite, but the portions were only half the usual amount, and most of them were vegetarian.

No wonder he used to read the news.

Looking at the staff who manage the meals for film crews, they can earn enough for a car for a single film, or even a house for a very good one.

This is ripping off coal mine owners like crazy!
"Shh, Gu Qing, keep your voice down. These are unspoken rules in the film crew. It wouldn't be good if someone heard us."

A crisp sound came from behind him.

Zhao Ya consciously moved aside.

Zhao Liying, carrying a tray, sat down on the small stool opposite Gu Qing.

"Sister Liying, what brings you here?"

Gu Qing was very surprised.

Don't be fooled by the fact that they're filming together.
As the female lead, Zhao Liying was extremely busy every day, and her scenes involved interaction with almost every actor in the crew.

Aside from seeing Zhao Liying once before filming began, Gu Qing never saw her again.

"I have scenes to film this afternoon, so of course I'm free."

Zhao Liying is full of energy.

Once in filming mode,

Instead, she forgot about the negative public opinion and was full of energy every day, showing no signs of fatigue.

"Gu Qing, did you buy a drink?"

Zhao Liying picked up a piece of tomato, eating it as she asked, "A drink? The company won't let me drink it."

"It's not for you to drink, it's for the crew."

Zhao Liying was charmed by the cuteness. She bit her chopsticks and patiently explained, "When filming on set, almost every actor with a certain status has to treat the extras to water."

“A stingy artist might treat you to a drink that costs three to five yuan, while a more generous artist might treat you to a milk tea that costs ten or twenty yuan. At most, it would cost a few thousand yuan.”

"That's strange, didn't your company mention this to you?"

Don't underestimate the power of buying water; it's similar to the unethical practices in the workplace.

Many young artists, in particular, feel resentful, thinking, "Why should I give my money to people I've never even met?"

But this also proves one thing: they are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.

A film crew typically consists of anywhere from one hundred to two or three hundred extras and staff.

It's fine if you don't buy it, other celebrities will.

Naturally, there will be gossipy people who will say you are 'stingy' and 'miserly,' that a respectable artist like you is unwilling to spend money.

Especially these extras are deeply rooted in Hengdian, working with different film crews every day, and their usual conversations are nothing more than celebrity gossip.

If this stingy side of yours gets out, it will inevitably cause some negative consequences.

in short,
It's about spending money to buy a good reputation; weighing the pros and cons, it's definitely worth it.

"It's my fault. Sister Li reminded me before, but I was too busy with work and forgot..."

Zhao Ya's face turned pale, and she was on the verge of tears. "Sister Liying, is it too late for me to go buy it now?"

"There's still time, there's still time, don't worry, look, I haven't bought it yet, have I?"

Zhao Liying comforted her.

"I'll go buy it now."

Zhao Ya didn't even finish her meal and hurriedly left.

"Sister Liying, can I go with Xiaoya? I'm worried she won't be able to manage on her own."

"Go."

The two assistants left.

"It seems like we need to hire another person to help Sister Xiaoya share some of the pressure."

While Gu Qing was thinking, he opened his phone, found Zhao Ya's WeChat account, and sent her a 5,000 yuan red envelope.

All assistants left.

Only Zhao Liying and Gu Qing remained under the sunshade.

"By the way, Gu Qing, did you watch the last episode of Running Man?"

Zhao Liying asked impatiently.

Gu Qing's forehead was covered in question marks, as if they were saying, "What are you talking about?"

"What I mean is, the last episode, your sibling couple was so sweet!"

Zhao Liying made a slightly disappointed face, saying, "Especially the final name tag ripping scene, were you guys really not following a script arranged by the production team?"

"No."

Gu Qing shook his head honestly, "I didn't expect Sister Baby to tear off her own name tag."

With the final episode of Running Man airing, the viewership rating has reached a staggering 4.3.

It has now surpassed the nationally popular variety show "Happy Camp" to become the hottest variety show today!
The final episode featured a thrilling name tag ripping game.
The scene where Gu Qing and Baby prepare to tear off each other's name tags, each trying to help the other win, has sent CP fans into a frenzy.

That night,

This propelled the hashtag for "Sister-Brother Couple" to the top of the charts, where its popularity remained consistently high.

"So, did you two actually develop feelings for each other?"

Zhao Liying, looking like she was watching the drama unfold, asked, "Do you still keep in touch privately?"

"..."

Gu Qing opened her mouth briefly, then silently resumed eating.

Privately, Yang Ying never contacted him.
His own company wouldn't allow him to contact Yang Ying.

"That's true. After all, it's just a TV show. In reality, they do have Xiaoming."

Zhao Liying patted Gu Qing's shoulder with great sympathy, then continued to stab him in the back, "Love that cannot be obtained is a very painful thing, but little brother, don't be sad. There are plenty of fish in the sea. You can always find another one. We won't be a homewrecker."

"It's okay, I'm not sad. Aren't you the same as me?"

Gu Qing put down his chopsticks and gave her a bright smile.

"I……?"

Zhao Liying paused for a moment, then, thinking about her own past relationships, her chubby face flushed rapidly.
