A Top-Tier Life Begins with Sarcastic Phrases

Chapter 111 Tian Xiwei is the smartest!

Tian Xiwei is the most shrewd person ever!

Not only did I get Gu Yun's first leading role in a period idol drama, but now I also want Gu Yun's first leading role in a live-action idol drama!

His little abacus was jingling loudly.

"Well, I'll take a look first before deciding."

I had previously considered whether to try the modern idol drama track after making a name for myself in the ancient idol drama track.

As a popular genre comparable to historical romance dramas, contemporary romance dramas typically produce one or two hugely successful series every year.

In 20, the drama "Find Yourself," starring Song Qian and Song Weilong, became a huge hit, and the two were hailed as the top "older woman-younger man" couple of that year!

In 21, Yang Yang teamed up with Dilraba Dilmurat for "You Are My Glory," which garnered over 3 million views in just 3 days, creating a massive online streaming phenomenon!

It's incredibly popular!

Well, then, Yang Yang took on a role as a firefighter, and his sharp jawline has been criticized.

And then there's this year's hottest drama, "The Story of Rose," starring Liu Yifei, a female-centric drama that completely overshadowed other idol dramas and became incredibly popular.

If Gu Yun were to star in a breakout modern romance drama, not only would his star power rise, but his popularity among the general public would also increase significantly!

After all, many middle-aged and young women enjoy watching this.

High national popularity is an essential element for becoming a top influencer.

But as I said before, this thing needs a good script.

Finding a good script for a modern romance drama is so difficult!

These popular scripts are mostly labeled as unrealistic and fantastical, which has drawn criticism.

If someone acts in a terrible show like "Gentlemen of West 8th District," they'll be online trolls for life!

"Yes, this scene depicts the female lead disliking being touched by others, but the male lead is an exception."

Director Qu Youning, who has short hair, is about 179 cm tall, and has a round and sturdy build, handed the script for this scene to Gu Yun and gave a general explanation.

"And then, it's like this."

Qu Youning chuckled and said, "I plan to film two little bonus scenes later, where you and Xiaotian act together, and we'll reshoot this scene."

"Then, you guys read the script and watch their performance. When the supporting actors come down, you guys go on stage."

"Okay!" Tian Xiwei was already eager to try.

Is this the first time I've acted in a modern idol drama with Gu Yun?

Gu Yun didn't refuse. After all, he was a famous director, and it was always good to leave a good impression: "I can do it too."

"Alright, all departments, get ready! Action!"

The director yells "Action!"

"Huh—they've already arrived?"

Zhang Ruonan had already noticed Gu Yun and Tian Xiwei. When she saw Gu Yun's face, her right index finger inexplicably felt a tingling sensation.

But there was no time to think about it anymore. The director yelled "Action!" and Zhang Ruonan got into character!

This scene features Zhang Ruonan, who plays the female lead Wen Yifan, interacting with two supporting actors.

"Sister Yifan, wait a minute—"

The male supporting character, Mu Chengyun, stepped forward, trying to stop Zhang Ruonan. The latter immediately changed her expression, raised her hand to block and push him away, and quickly retreated, her eyes full of vigilance and resistance.

"I don't like being physically touched by others, I'm sorry."

Zhang Ruonan's acting was still on point; she finished speaking sassily and turned to leave.

"Okay, that scene is done, cut!"

"Get ready for the next scene!"

The director yelled "Cut!"

In the next scene, Gu Yun and Tian Xiwei walked out from the crowd of onlookers.

Oh~

"~~~"

"Gu Yun, Xiaotian!"

The unsuspecting staff and extras looked on in surprise, calling out Gu Yun and Tian Xiwei's names.

During this period, the intense and memorable scene between Gu Yun and Xu Qi'an has gone viral online, and its popularity is no less than that of a typical second-tier celebrity!

"Brother Xiaobai! Sister Ruonan!"

Gu Yun was the first to greet Bai Jingting and Zhang Ruonan.

Tian Xiwei went to chat with Zhang Ruonan, while Gu Yun chatted with Bai Jingting.

"Xiao Gu! What brings you here?"

When Bai Jingting saw Gu Yun, the surprise he feigned was, well, that's how it was.

The two of them had dinner together a few days ago, and now they have to put on an act.

"I'm here to visit the set and learn how to act in idol dramas, so I can use that knowledge later."

"7

Fortunately, everyone was a fairly professional "actor," so it wasn't too awkward.

While Gu Yun was chatting with Bai Jingting, Zhang Ruonan pinched her index finger, secretly glanced at Gu Yun, and muttered, "Why are you pretending not to know him? You've only just met him!"

After a few casual words, the first part was over.

Then, in the room next door, the set for the second scene was also set up.

This time, it's a scene between the male and female supporting characters from before, plus Bai Jingting and Zhang Ruonan, where they discuss sharing an apartment.

The male supporting character is Bai Jingting's love rival in the drama. Hearing that the female lead wants to share an apartment, he wants to come and share an apartment with her.

"I don't want to share an apartment with you!"

Faced with the male supporting character's persistent advances, Zhang Ruonan directly stated, "Besides, I don't like or feel comfortable sharing an apartment with men!"

The male supporting character, unwilling to give up, looked at Bai Jingting, who was leisurely lounging on the sofa playing games, and asked, "Then, who is Senior Sang Yan?"

Bai Jingting tilted his head, wanting to explain, but Zhang Ruonan spoke first: "He's an exception!"

Bai Jingting raised an eyebrow at the male supporting character in a provocative manner, striking a victorious pose!

The male supporting character next to him was frustrated and unwilling, but he could only give up.

"Okay, click!"

"We've got this part covered. Um, everyone else, take a break."

Qu Youning laughed and said, "Little Gu hasn't filmed an idol drama yet. Perfect timing, we have some free time now, how about we try filming those two scenes from earlier?"

"what?"

Bai Jingting and Zhang Ruonan were unaware of this.

They only knew that Gu Yun and Tian Xiwei would come to visit the set, but this was the first time they had heard of them acting together.

"No, it's a gathering of acquaintances, what if we burst out laughing? Director~"

Baijingting Road.

"It's okay, just act freely, you can even add scenes!"

Qu Youning laughed and said, "It's just a short video to attract attention, so whatever, as long as it's fun, that's fine."

"Alright, get ready, go!"

This time, we didn't change the location; we just performed the first and second scenes in the same room.

"Sister Yifan, wait a minute—"

Gu Yun plays Bai Jingting's rival in love. He jogs a few steps, reaches out to stop Zhang Ruonan, and touches her right index finger.

According to the original script, Zhang Ruonan should have immediately changed her expression, raised her hand to block and push away, and quickly retreated, with a look of vigilance and resistance in her eyes.

However, the moment Zhang Ruonan turned her head and saw Gu Yun's face, her index finger went numb, and the image of Gu Yun biting her index finger that night flashed into her mind.

"I don't like being physically touched by others, I'm sorry—"

He said he didn't like being touched, but he just couldn't bring himself to be fierce. In fact, he even wanted to laugh, and he couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth.

Zhang Ruonan was about to burst out laughing, and Gu Yun thought about how to save the day and, based on the supporting character's persona, continue to close the distance between them.

Zhang Ruonan paused for a second, then subconsciously backed away until she was pressed against the wall with nowhere left to retreat.

"What are you doing? I'm calling the police!"

Gu Yun's face drew closer, and his warm breath swirled above Zhang Ruonan's face.

She wanted to be fierce, but staring into those sparkling, peach-blossom eyes, she simply couldn't bring herself to be. Her pushing of Gu Yun looked more like flirting.
