These people were not worth a single word from him.
He Xiaoai said, “It would’ve been so much better if I had not gone abroad to further my studies. I would have been the main lead actress and would have gotten to act with you.”
She sounded pretty regretful. From afar, Director Leng’s face twitched. This was a film with two main lead actors, but the female lead actress was much less relevant. It was not planned for Gu Xie’s role to have any romance involved. He Xiaoai was deemed as one of the Four Beauties because of her popularity, but her acting skills were not worthy of praise. The Four Beauties of this generation were far from the ones of the previous generation. They were not as skilled as them, and yet, they liked to behave in a superior manner. Director Leng was not ready to deal with someone like her who thought she was a goddess in his team.
In his films, he always avoided investors from trying to have a say. He practiced sovereignty when it came to picking his actors and actresses. He never chose any female idols, and even when he chose good-looking people, he only wanted those that were good at acting.
Gu Xie was cold, and he did not continue the conversation. Nearby, a group of actresses laughed. This lady is so thick-skinned. We have collaborated with Gu Xie for so long, and in this span of time, other than Lin Xiaojuan and Tong Hua, almost nobody can get even a smile from Movie King Gu.
He’s really an aloof Movie King.
“Gu Xie, why are you ignoring me?” He Xiaoai asked.
“I don’t really know you!” He responded.
Everyone was speechless.
Laughter could be heard from nearby, and He Xiaoai felt her face steaming hot. She was considered the actress who had acted with Gu Xie the most, and yet, all he had to say about her was that he did not really know her. She felt really angry.
“Movie King is too aloof. He did not even bother saving her some dignity.”
“She’s but the mayor’s precious daughter. If this was in the past, she would have been the princess of the city. This is... What a strong character.”
“It’s known that Gu Xie does not like to form connections with others. She asked for it.”
“What a pity, she’s such a beauty.”
“She’s really thick-skinned.”
He Xiaoai stood up angrily and pointed at the group of actresses. “What are you talking about!”
“We’re talking about the film. In the show, I’m a ‘white lotus’ who keeps sticking onto the male lead. We’re talking about the script right now.” One actress replied. This actress was not very famous, but quite often, she was the second or third main cast. She was not afraid of He Xiaoai.
“You-”
The moment the well-dressed Tong Hua came in, he saw the argument going on and conveniently grabbed some popcorn. He was munching for quite some time when He Xiaoai finally noticed him. She looked at him angrily and said, “What are you looking at?”
“Eating popcorn while watching the ‘show’ go on. It’s free. I’m really glad!” Tong Hua said and smiled as he grabbed another mouthful of popcorn. He turned around and told Ah Da. “I’m getting all of the popcorn in this studio. Remember to buy more of them. I still have more ‘shows’ to watch in the future.”
Ah Da replied. “Yes!”
Everyone was speechless.
“Precious, popcorn is not enough. We should buy some drinks too.”
“If we buy drinks, we need to get fruits too. It is wintertime, so it’s not easy to watch shows.”
The crowd joined in with the fun.
Tong Hua smiled. “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll cover all the costs.”
He Xiaoai was feeling gloomy. This was one of the few peaceful teams. There were no ‘white lotuses’ or low-class men with bad personalities. They were all genuine actors who were here for the arts. Ever since they began filming, things had been going very peacefully.
“Gu Xie, they are bullying me!” He Xiaoai turned around and complained to Gu Xie. She was trying to act vulnerable, wanting Gu Xie to take action.
Gu Xie’s eyes were shut, and the make-up artist helped him to do some touch-ups. His eyelids did not even open. A familiar voice came over, and Lin Xiaojuan said in a surprised tone, “Wow, dear, you look so beautiful today!”
