I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.
Chapter 467 Unspoken Rules? The Director Arrives!
Suite 3601
Upon hearing the news, Guan Gu was first stunned, then raised his arms in celebration.
"Yada! That's great, Youyou! I knew you could do it!"
As he spoke, Guan Gu subconsciously opened his arms, and Youyou did not hesitate, smiling as she hugged Guan Gu.
As a result, Youyou didn't blush, but Guan Gu's face turned bright red, and he laughed like a 200-pound child.
The other people in the suite also came forward to offer their congratulations.
"Youyou is amazing!" Lin Wanyu jumped up from the sofa and ran over to hug Youyou.
"By the way, Youyou, hurry up and sign your autograph for me. That way, when you become a movie queen in the future, you'll be worth a lot of money!"
Upon hearing this, Youyou readily replied, "No problem, I'd even give myself to you as a bonus!"
Lin Wanyu chuckled and released Youyou.
Ms. Hu stepped forward and gave Youyou a light high five, saying, "Well done! I knew you could do it."
"Thank you, Sister Yifei."
"Congratulations, Youyou! Wishing you prosperity!" Even Zhang Wei, standing to the side, was eager to try, looking shy, and wanted to hug Youyou.
Youyou didn't object.
But Guan Gu was displeased when he saw this and quickly pulled Zhang Wei away, saying, "Hey Zhang Wei, what are you doing!"
Zhang Wei looked aggrieved. "Youyou didn't say anything."
"Of course not!" Guan Gu said arrogantly and unreasonably.
"Alright Zhang Wei, don't you know what kind of person Guan Gu is? If you really manage to get your hands on Youyou, aren't you afraid that Guan Gu will be standing at your bedside with a samurai sword at night?" Gu Yifan said with a smile.
"Well," Zhang Wei glanced timidly at Guan Gu, then chuckled awkwardly, "let's forget about it then."
Guan Gu ignored Guan Gu and walked over to Youyou excitedly, asking, "Youyou, tell us the details quickly, we all want to hear it."
Hearing this, Youyou thought for a moment and said, "I feel like I didn't perform very well. During the audition, I couldn't help but change my lines again."
As she spoke, Youyou looked embarrassed.
Ms. Qin smiled and said, "Changing lines is very common. There are too many actors who perform in a rigid and formulaic way, but there are too few actors with your talent."
“That’s right.” Youyou nodded happily. “That’s what the director said too.”
"So the process was a bit complicated, but I still managed to get the role!"
Guan Gu smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum, while Lin Wanyu asked curiously, "Youyou, are you wearing this to your job interview today? Aren't you hot?"
In the warm spring season, most people would wear a light jacket or a sports jacket, but Youyou was wearing a long trench coat from autumn and winter.
"Oh, well, I should thank Teacher Zeng." As she spoke, Youyou realized Zeng Xiaoxian wasn't there. "Where's Teacher Zeng?"
“Oh, that bitch, I think she went to the radio station,” Ms. Hu replied.
Before the words had even finished,
"Who is calling me?!"
Teacher Zeng, also beaming with joy, pushed open the door and swaggered in with somewhat exaggerated steps.
"Teacher Zeng, you're back~" Lin Wanyu greeted, "Come and congratulate Sister Youyou, she passed the audition!"
"Really!" Zeng Xiaoxian's eyes widened. "Then our apartment is truly blessed with double happiness! Come here, give me a hug!"
Teacher Zeng, who was being shameless, opened her arms and hugged Youyou.
Guan Gu didn't even have time to stop him; his face immediately turned as black as if someone owed him money.
"Teacher Zeng, I should thank you too," Youyou said to Teacher Zeng with a smile.
"Thank me? What did I do? Tell me." Zeng Xiaoxian asked curiously.
"Thump thump~! Step!"
Youyou finally revealed the mystery by lifting her trench coat.
Her pink, form-fitting bodycon dress was revealed underneath, along with black stockings, and a large expanse of her collarbone and shoulders came into view, creating a strong visual impact.
However, since my aunt's figure is really just average, it didn't appear to be very revealing.
Just that was enough to make Guan Gu stare wide-eyed, his eyes turning slightly red.
"Wow! What a daring outfit!" Lin Wanyu exclaimed, blinking.
Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, Youyou blushed involuntarily and quickly re-fastened her trench coat. "Right? I also think it's a bit too daring, but I feel pretty good wearing this for the audition today!"
At this moment, Guan Gu suddenly realized and asked urgently, "Youyou, you went to the job interview dressed like that?!"
“Yes!” Youyou nodded. “Teacher Zeng gave me inspiration.”
"..." Guan Gu's eyes instantly turned red, and he turned to stare fiercely at Zeng Xiaoxian.
Seeing this, Zeng Xiaoxian hurriedly backed away, saying, "I was just saying it offhand."
Ms. Hu sniffed the air and hesitated before asking, "Youyou, you've been drinking?"
"Yeah, after the director gave the approval on the spot, I even had lunch with her at a five-star hotel! We drank red wine and ate Kobe lobster!"
Guan Gu was about to explode with rage, but he held back, saying stiffly, "I've only ever heard of Kobe beef! It's one of the best beefs in the world."
“That’s right, Kobe lobsters are lobsters raised on Kobe beef.” Youyou nodded, completely unaware of the strong jealousy emanating from Guan Gu, perhaps due to the alcohol.
Instead of looking at Youyou, everyone focused their attention on Guangu.
To everyone's surprise, after a few seconds of anger, Guan Gu loosened his fist and said with a smile, "I see."
"Wow, Guan Gu isn't angry?" Lin Wanyu was somewhat surprised.
Gu Yifan turned his head and whispered, "I gave Guan Gu a heads-up yesterday. This time it's a female director."
"So that's how it is," Lin Wanyu suddenly realized.
Guan Gu had also thought of this. Anyway, she was a female director, so it wasn't like she was being taken advantage of. "Youyou, are you drunk? Go back and get some sleep."
To everyone's surprise, Youyou chuckled and shook her head, "No, I need to pack my things. The director will come to pick me up later."
"Pick you up?"
"Yes, the director said he'd take me to Hong Kong to meet the screenwriter. I've never been to Hong Kong before, so I don't know if it'll be fun."
Upon hearing this, Miss Lin naturally had something to say, "Hong Kong is actually not bad. The scenery isn't as beautiful as Shanghai, the streets are narrow, and the people there are arrogant and look down on others!"
"Huh? Really?" Youyou asked with some concern.
"Please give me a bean bag!" Guan Gu interrupted the two, his hard-won smile suddenly freezing up as he hurriedly asked Youyou.
"Youyou, is this screenwriter also a woman?"
Youyou gave Guan Gu a strange look and retorted, "Of course not. The screenwriter is a well-known male writer who has adapted several of his best-selling novels into TV series."
Upon hearing this, Guan Gu's face immediately darkened again. "So, Youyou, you're going to wear this outfit?!"
"Yeah, I think this outfit looks pretty good, hehe. Okay, I'm going back to pack my things now, bye~"
After saying that, Youyou turned around and left 3601.
Guan Gu remained with a gloomy expression. Zeng Xiaoxian, seeing this, silently wanted to leave first, but Guan Gu called him back as soon as he turned around!
"Stop right there, Teacher Zeng!"
"."
Zeng Xiaoxian quickly said, "Guan Gu, this isn't my fault."
"How can I not blame you! It's all your fault for coming up with such a terrible idea! If something happens to Youyou in Hong Kong, I'll never forgive you for the rest of my life!" Guan Gu roared. Seeing this, Zhang Wei stepped forward with his Häagen-Dazs to help Zeng Xiaoxian out of the predicament.
"Have some ice cream to cool down, Guan Gu. What if the screenwriter is an old man, like a grandfather, or maybe the screenwriter likes men? Anyway, there won't be any underhanded dealings!"
Gu Yifan: "."
Lin Wanyu: "."
Zhang Wei's words were not comforting; they were clearly adding fuel to the fire.
Sure enough, Guan Gu became even more uneasy after hearing this. "What should I do? What should I do? Maybe I should go to Hong Kong too!"
"Guan Gu, don't be so anxious. It's not like Youyou has been targeted by bad guys." Teacher Zeng was a little confused about the source of Guan Gu's panic.
"Hehe. Teacher Zeng, do you know why we comic artists like to dress the female protagonists in sailor uniforms and miniskirts?"
With a forced smile, Guan Gu put his arm around Teacher Zeng's shoulder and asked.
"Because...he's kind?" Zeng Xiaoxian asked hesitantly.
"Bullshit!" Guan Gu cursed directly. "Only this way can the comics sell!"
Zeng Xiaoxian wiped the spittle that Guan Gu had sprayed on his face and fell silent.
“Guan Gu, you really didn’t need to go to Hong Kong.” At this moment, Lin Wanyu said slowly and deliberately.
"Have you all forgotten? Gu Yifan is the investor in this drama, and he recommended Youyou. If Gu Yifan just makes a phone call to the director, even if the screenwriter is bold, he won't dare to mess with Youyou."
Guan Gu is just too concerned to think straight.
Gu Yifan had actually thought of this long ago, but he just wanted to see Guan Gu anxious.
as predicted.
After being enlightened by Wan Yu's words, Guan Gu immediately turned to look at Gu Yifan, his face full of expectation, "Gu Jun! Please!"
Gu Yifan shrugged. "Fine."
Guan Gu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Yifan take out his phone and walk aside to make a call to the director.
"Teacher Zeng, you should be glad, at least Yifan is reliable, otherwise you would be in big trouble," Zhang Wei whispered to Zeng Xiaoxian.
A short while later, Gu Yifan returned.
Guan Gu looked over anxiously, "How is it?"
"The director said she happened to be on her way to the apartment and wanted to meet with me and Youyou to chat," Gu Yifan said.
"Don't worry, Guan Gu, I'll put in a good word for you then."
I waited for about half an hour.
The director of The Reversal Hero has finally arrived.
Gu Yifan had already told Youyou that they were both waiting in room 3601.
"Bang bang bang!"
A knock sounded at the door, and Youyou quickly ran to open it.
Gu Yifan glanced at the group of people who were eavesdropping on the second floor. These guys were really gossipy.
"Director, you've arrived!"
Youyou greeted him with delight, her tone becoming very obedient and polite.
"Please come in. Why did you bring a gift?"
Youyou was somewhat taken aback when she saw the box in the director's hand.
The female director smiled and said, "It's just a small token of my appreciation. Is Director Gu here?"
Upon hearing this, Youyou blushed slightly and immediately realized that the gift box was not for her, but for Gu Yifan.
Gu Yifan also stood up and greeted the director, "Director Li."
"Director, please continue. I'll go pour you some tea," Youyou said, showing her good sense of propriety.
"Director Gu, I heard Lisa say before that you are the most handsome man she has ever seen. I was curious, and now I see that it is indeed no exaggeration." Director Li looked Gu Yifan up and down and said with a slightly sigh.
"Director Li, you're too kind," Gu Yifan said with a smile, accepting the gift the director brought. "Please sit down."
"This is my first time visiting, and I don't know what to bring. I hope you won't find it offensive, Director Gu," Director Li said with a smile.
Seeing this, Youyou, who went to pour tea, felt somewhat emotional.
For ordinary actors, the director is like the emperor of the crew. They have to serve him carefully and treat him seriously, for fear of being replaced by the director if they are even slightly dissatisfied.
But directors are human too; they can also compromise their principles for money.
"The tea is here." Youyou thought to herself, then quickly walked over and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Youyou." Director Li looked Youyou up and down. "Speaking of which, I didn't know that Youyou lived in the same apartment as Director Gu?"
"Oh, we're roommates, and Youyou is also a voice actress signed with my company."
Gu Yifan explained with a smile.
Director Li was a little confused. Gu Yifan had invested 30 million yuan, so why was such a big boss living in this small apartment?
Although the suite looks nice, it's too cramped for a wealthy person.
However, since it was our first meeting, I didn't ask those questions.
"I also have to thank Director Gu for helping me find Youyou, such a good actress."
"You're too kind," Gu Yifan nodded.
The director looked at Youyou standing to the side and said with a smile, "Sit down, don't be so reserved. I'm just here to have a chat with you."
Youyou was a little surprised, pointing blankly at herself, "With me?"
"Yes." Director Li nodded. "Youyou, do you know why I chose you at first glance?"
Youyou hesitated for a moment, glancing at Gu Yifan who was sitting there without saying a word.
Director Li immediately smiled, "Of course, Mr. Gu is an investor and a co-producer, which does account for part of the reason."
"At first, I did intend to agree if the actor recommended by Mr. Gu was up to standard."
"However, when I actually saw you, I realized that you are indeed a good actor worth nurturing, regardless of whether Mr. Gu recommended you."
"Director, are you serious? You're not just praising me, are you?" Youyou originally thought that her success was largely due to Gu Yifan's recommendation, but she was touched that the director said it was because of her own efforts.
“That’s right! Youyou, I really admire your willingness to show me your true self and your flaws without any reservations during the audition!” Director Li said with a smile.
"Huh? Show your own flaws?" Youyou didn't quite understand what the director meant.
“That’s right. Other actors who come to audition know their shortcomings, such as their physique, appearance, looks, voice, etc., and they will deliberately try to hide them. But Youyou, you choose to show them directly.”
Youyou suddenly realized what was happening and looked down at the dress she was wearing.
Although Director Li's words were not explicitly stated, Youyou understood that he was implying that she had a poor figure and dared to wear a short skirt.
Youyou blushed immediately and stammered, feeling embarrassed, "Actually...actually I really like this dress."
Second floor
Upon hearing the director's words, the group could barely suppress their laughter; they were practically bursting with rage.
Zhang Wei quietly nudged Guan Gu, "Looking at it this way, Guan Gu, you don't need to worry too much about Youyou being subjected to unspoken rules."
Only Guan Gu, still unaware of the art of language, asked blankly, "Wasn't the director talking about the pros and cons? What does that have to do with this?" (End of Chapter)
