Chapter 59: Creating a Couple
Chapter 59: Creating a Couple
"Actually, when I received the script from Director Wu, I was very worried that I wouldn't be able to play the role well."
"In the original version, veteran actor Yoo Ah-in portrayed the character of 'Young Master Zhao' very well. With such a brilliant performance as his predecessor, if I mess up my role, I will be letting down Director Wu's trust."
"So I repeatedly studied the script and collected a lot of information in order to create a character different from the Korean version of Jo Tae."
"It vividly portrays the arrogance and disdain of a rich second-generation, presenting it to the audience."
"The reactions from everyone after watching the film have given me a lot of confidence, proving that I portrayed the character very well this time. Thank you again."
[Yoo Ah-in seems to be acting, while you're just being yourself.]
"Thank you for such high praise."
Perhaps because Gu Luojin has a lot of fans, everyone is directing their questions at him.
He couldn't be the only one in the limelight, so they quickly handed the microphone to Nazha and gave her more screen time.
[I want to ask Gulnazar, the female celebrity character you portrayed in the film was heartbreaking to watch.]
I also witnessed your outstanding acting skills. I'd like to ask, how did you manage to do that?
"For this, I would like to thank our male lead."
The entire audience was eagerly anticipating the gossip, their excitement building as they hoped Nazha would drop some bombshell.
Naza gazed at Gu Luojin with deep affection, and the audience below thought: If these two had nothing else to do, they'd eat the tables and chairs.
"Previously, people only saw me as a pretty face, but this time I want to break through my acting limitations."
"When I was acting, I sought out my co-star many times, which helped me a lot in that regard."
Everyone thought it was some big scandal, but it turned out to be just this.
The preview screening of "The Big Shot" ended perfectly despite some unexpected circumstances.
Next comes the roadshow.
"Xiao Gu, our company wants me to create a CP (couple pairing) with you? What's your thought?"
The two were already a couple. In fact, Nazha could have not told him, but instead had someone take photos and start hyping it up. This kind of thing is not the first time it has happened in the Chinese entertainment industry.
After filming wrapped, the male and female leads were already divorced, so they couldn't care less about publicity or creating a romantic pairing. Their respective fan groups were already locked in a fierce battle.
"I'm fine."
For Gu Luojin, creating a romantic pairing wasn't all bad; he didn't want to become a puppet controlled by his big fans.
If he doesn't dare to date or get married, what's the point of him being an artist? He might as well be an internet celebrity and have more freedom.
CP fans are a key group among fans in terms of spending power and influence on changing the image of celebrities; their fighting power should not be underestimated.
"How would you like it cooked?"
"In a little while, you'll take me home. From the moment we leave the restaurant until you take me home, I'll arrange for some reporters to take a few pictures."
"OK."
The two left the restaurant one after the other and took a car to Naza's residence in the capital.
"Click."
An intimate photo has surfaced in the hands of two paparazzi.
"Brother, we've made a killing this time, let's sell it to someone else."
He flicked his younger brother on the head: "What are you selling? This is our esteemed client."
"Oh, so she's the one who invited us."
"Otherwise?"
Being a paparazzi isn't easy these days; it's not like it used to be. You can easily end up in jail if you're not careful.
"Let's go, it's time to move on to a different battlefield."
The two followed the car to the entrance of Nazha's residential area.
"Did someone take a picture just now?"
"I've taken the photos and received the information."
Naza pouted: "I've already told you the password, why haven't you come yet?"
He was overwhelmed with work. Meng Ziyi was like a gluttonous little cat, coming two or three times a day, always looking surprised. Even the landlord's family had no surplus grain.
Luckily, he works out and is in good shape, otherwise he wouldn't be able to keep up with the speed of food preparation.
Beauty is like a wolf or a tiger, it can break a person's will, so much so that they can't even think about it, let alone touch it.
That's true, but he chose to sacrifice himself to the tiger.
"I just finished participating in a variety show and rested for two days before receiving an invitation to attend a preview screening. I was thinking of going home with you today."
Although Gu Luojin's explanation was somewhat far-fetched, Nazha didn't think much of it, since she was with Gu Luojin now.
My man is my horse, I can do whatever I want with him.
Naza started getting restless in the car, but since her assistant was driving, the secrecy was quite strong.
He does like Nazha's long legs, but that doesn't mean she can casually put her legs on his shoulders, except on special occasions.
Human beings are inherently hypocritical.
"Recently, I seem to be able to bend my splits a few more degrees. Should I test my fitness results?"
The time has come to test the results.
As a seasoned veteran, he really enjoys doing this kind of work; you become proficient in any industry after a while.
Having worked as a supervisor for six years, I don't know if the quality is up to standard, but I can tell just by touching the thickness of an envelope.
Having worked as an electrician for eight years, I can tell whether there's electricity or not just by touching it.
Having worked in auto repair for three years, I can tell at a glance whether it's a spare tire or not.
Having worked as a well-drilling expert for three years, he never doubted whether there was water in the well when he was drilling. He could tell just by touching it; if there wasn't, there was only one possibility: he hadn't drilled deep enough.
Since the two left first, they had to wait for the paparazzi to set up their cameras before getting out of the car, otherwise they wouldn't be able to capture footage of the two traveling together.
Bored, Nazha played a few games with Gu Luojin, which was quite enjoyable. However, the more they played, the more energetic Gu Luojin seemed to become.
"Stop playing around, or I'll execute you on the spot."
If the timing hadn't been so inappropriate, she wouldn't have minded hiring paparazzi.
"Let's go down."
"Wait a moment."
Gu Luojin can't go down yet; he'll wait for the cooldown period to avoid misunderstandings...
This scene made Naza chuckle, and almost embarrassed Gu Luojin.
"Alright, let's go."
Remember Naza's little revenge; after all, he never lets his revenge linger overnight.
The two got out of the car one after the other and hugged for a while by the roadside, thus completing the paparazzi's mission.
"Brother, can we call this deal done?"
"Alright, let's go grab some barbecue, you two."
The two had just finished speaking when they saw the male protagonist enter the residential area alone.
"Brother, is that the male lead from earlier? Shall we film it?"
Another slap landed on his head.
"Are you stupid? This is the sugar daddy who gave us the money. We even filmed the sugar daddy."
"You little punk, do you have any professional ethics? If you don't have professional ethics, don't be a paparazzi."
"My dream was to become a journalist who serves the country and its people, but my lack of education limited my development."
The paparazzo who was beaten up couldn't take it anymore. He's already become a paparazzo, so why should he talk about professional ethics?
"But bro, gossip about relationships and breakups—that's what the masses love most. If you ask if your conscience hurts? Money, you can never have too much!"
"You're spouting rhymes all the time, are you planning to take the postgraduate entrance exam?"
Gu Luojin, who had just arrived at Nazha's house, unlocked the password.
As soon as I entered, I saw Nazha coming out wrapped in a bathrobe: "The water temperature is just right, I've been waiting for you."
Gu Luojin nearly died from the scalding water that Nazha had set for him as he entered the bathroom. What was the difference between this and the water used to scald pigs during the Chinese New Year in the four southwestern provinces?
Luckily, it wasn't two people coming in for a bath together; otherwise, it would have turned into a hot pot with two separate dishes.
After washing up, Gu Luo came to the living room and saw that Nazha had already started to show off her splits.
"Come here and see. Did I tell you to come over or not? Do you understand? I'm talking about the truth."
Gu Luojin was stunned for a moment. Nazha had returned to her own territory, and her attitude had become tougher.
But he liked it to the end.
For Nazha, she paid the price for her actions.
Kneeling on both knees doesn't necessarily mean begging for mercy, and heart-wrenching screams don't necessarily mean feeling aggrieved.
The upcoming roadshow might not allow for such leisurely pace, so the two took advantage of their energetic moments to fully express themselves.
Naza's company received the photos taken by the paparazzi, but they are not in a hurry to release them today.
They need to wait until the movie's box office is substantial before releasing it, so they can capitalize on the hype surrounding the CP (couple pairing) to help Gulnazar rise to stardom.
Announcing a relationship before even knowing how the movie will turn out will only alienate netizens.
In this respect, the people with diabetes have done one good thing.
