HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 158 [158] Come on, carry me inside!
After "My Fair Princess" aired, Fan Xiaopang was very reluctant to mention the role that made her a minor celebrity.

Off-screen, Zhao Yanzi and Lin Xinru looked down on her.

In the drama, she served as a maid to Xiao Yanzi and Ziwei.

In the eyes of the media and the audience, she is still a maid.

She was a bit overreacted; whenever someone praised her for her performance as Jin Suo, she felt like they were insulting her.

Besides, she and Xu Qing don't get along, and Xu Qing's special praise of her gold lock is definitely an insult to her.

What was most egregious was that when Xu Qing praised her, he glanced at Gao Yuanyuan next to him, his eyes seeming to say, 'Being a maid in the play wasn't enough, you're playing a maid in real life too?'

Fan Xiaopang was so angry he almost ground his teeth to powder.

Fan Xiaopang was no pushover either, and he squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Thank you for the compliment, big sister!"

She emphasized the words "big sister" very much.

Come on, hurt each other!

Xu Qing paused for a moment. She hadn't expected Fan Xiaopang to be such a fiery person; he was truly a tiger.

Neither side gained an advantage in their first encounter, resulting in a temporary draw.

However, Xu Qing still didn't take these two people seriously.

Gao Yuanyuan only has a pretty face; she has no fierce features, no legs, and no buttocks.

Fan Xiaopang is quite sassy, ​​and all minors are treated as children, so there's nothing to worry about.

These two people want to fight her, and they even formed an alliance? Aren't they afraid of being laughed at?

Xu Qing snorted and walked straight past the two of them.

Fan Xiaopang made a fist gesture towards Xu Qing's back.

Just then, Zhang Da Hu Zi's car returned.

Qi Yuan's appearance broke the tense atmosphere in the base, and everyone rushed to watch him.

Zhang Dahuzi pushed Qi Yuan next to Xu Qing and said with a smile, "A Yuan, get to know our Ren Yingying. You two have a lot of scenes together in the play. Remember to bring Xu Qing along when you eat out or go out. Get to know each other as soon as possible and cultivate some... friendship."

Zhang Dahuzi was thinking that he would arrange for paparazzi to follow him, and that would generate buzz.

Xu Qing glanced in Gao Yuanyuan's direction, and sure enough, the other woman's gaze was hostile.

She didn't know what the relationship was between Qi Yuan and Gao Yuanyuan.

All she knew was that Gao Yuanyuan and Fan Xiaopang made her very unhappy.

They told her not to do it, but she insisted on doing it anyway, and she was going to drive them crazy.

"I'm very happy that we can work together. I really admire talented people, and I also really love music. I turned down a lot of roles to play Ren Yingying. Brother Chong, please guide me in the future."

Xu Qing extended her fair hand and clasped Qi Yuan's hand, while two unfriendly eyes stared at her from the side. She didn't care; the angrier they were, the happier she was.

"Chong-ge" is an affectionate nickname used by Ren Yingying and Linghu Chong after their relationship deepened.

In some scenes, Ren Yingying also calls him Chong'er.

The current situation is not suitable for calling him "Chong'er".

"Sister Qing, I'm also very happy to work with you. Please give me your guidance." Qi Yuan was very tactful, only shaking hands with Xu Qing briefly to express her politeness before letting go.

With Gao Yuanyuan there, he wouldn't be stupid enough to dance in a minefield.

Zhang Dahuzi then introduced other actors to Qi Yuan: Wei Zi, who played Yue Buqun; Li Jie, who played Lin Pingzhi; Tu Men, who played Zuo Lengchan; and Liu Dong, who played Ning Zhongze…

After getting to know everyone, Qi Yuan found that most of the casting for this version was excellent.

Wei Zi's portrayal of Yue Buqun is very vivid; he perfectly captures the image of a hypocrite.

The flaw in this version of Yue Buqun is that he is too direct. After practicing the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, he suddenly becomes a different person, lacking some foreshadowing.

This is a script issue, not an issue with the actors.

Li Jie's portrayal of Lin Pingzhi needs no introduction; he is widely recognized as the best Lin Pingzhi.

The supporting actors, such as Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng, all delivered excellent performances, which were very engaging.

The actors, including Wei Zi and Li Jie, also had a good impression of Qi Yuan. They had initially thought he would be an arrogant young man, but he turned out to be quite easygoing and down-to-earth. Qi Yuan then instructed Li Xue to distribute the small gifts he had brought back from Hong Kong to everyone, which earned him another wave of goodwill.

Zhang Da Hu Zi was unusually generous this time, inviting everyone to dinner tonight to welcome Qi Yuan, the chivalrous Linghu Chu, to the crew.

"Yay! Long live Producer Zhang!"

"It's good that Brother Yuan is here; our lives will get better with Brother Yuan here."

Qi Yuan knew exactly what Zhang Da Hu Zi was up to.

This old guy wants to match him up with Xu Qing; he's really going to any lengths to generate buzz.

He just thought about it seriously, and cooperating with Zhang the Bearded Man to create hype isn't a bad idea.

With the broadcast of Zhang Dahuzi's version of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer," the name Zhang Dahuzi will become even more valuable.

Zhang Dahuzi's name being listed on his and Wang Jing's dramas will definitely benefit his dramas.

Moreover, Zhang Dahuzi has dealt with many television stations in mainland China and is very knowledgeable about distribution.

He didn't understand these things, and Wang Jingchu was even less aware of them when he first arrived in the mainland. Getting on good terms with Zhang Dahuzi could save a lot of trouble.

However, before engaging in hype, it's essential to stabilize the rear first, otherwise there's a risk of things escalating behind the scenes.

At the dinner, Zhang Da Hu Zi continued to probe Qi Yuan's intentions, but Qi Yuan remained unchanged, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Xu Qing served Qi Yuan food several times, which drew cold stares from Gao Yuanyuan at the next table.

……

night.

Qi Yuan and Gao Yuanyuan met at a hotel a few kilometers away from the base.

"Brother Chong, try this braised pork ribs... Brother Chong, how's this Liangxi crispy eel... Brother Chong..."

Gao Yuanyuan switched to her sarcastic mode, imitating Xu Qing's tone and mannerisms. Qi Yuan could practically smell the vinegar simmering inside her.

I must say, her imitation was pretty convincing.

If Gao Yuanyuan could deliver this level of acting when filming, winning the Hundred Flowers Award or the Golden Rooster Award would be a piece of cake.

"Was the food that old woman put on your plate very sweet? You seemed to enjoy it."

"Old woman, calling me 'Brother Chong' this and 'Brother Chong' that, don't you have any shame!"

……

After Gao Yuanyuan finished venting, Qi Yuan asked her, "Did you feel better after yelling? You and Xiao Fan have only been on set for a few days, why are you picking a fight with Xu Qing?"

He could smell gunpowder as soon as he arrived at the base today.

“She has ulterior motives. She wants to win Xiao Fan over to get closer to you, and Xiao Fan told me immediately.”

Gao Yuanyuan did feel much better. She was a little worried, though. It wasn't necessarily a good thing that her husband was too outstanding, as there were too many tempting women out there eyeing him.

"Knowing that a great beauty has her eye on you, don't you feel incredibly good?"

Even if you feel great inside, you can't say it out loud.

"Didn't Linghu Chong love Yue Lingshan from the beginning? If Yue Lingshan had accepted Linghu Chong from the start, there wouldn't have been any Ren Yingying."

Qi Yuan was describing the plot from the original novel, but Gao Yuanyuan was overjoyed to hear it.

After saying a few more kind words, Qi Yuan cupped Gao Yuanyuan's face and kissed her.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and Gao Yuanyuan did not resist. The more they kissed, the more engrossed they became. Qi Yuan started to touch Gao Yuanyuan's clothes. Gao Yuanyuan patted Qi Yuan's shoulder and breathed heavily.

"Carry me inside."

With a little effort, Qi Yuan picked up Gao Yuanyuan, who weighed over 90 pounds, and carried her towards the bedroom.

……
