Chapter 79: The Unavoidable Romance Calamity Part 2
Gu Ye took out the information of another actor, “His lips are like vermilion, and the corners are curved like a bow. This person has the feature of passing the imperial examination when he was young and only became glorious when he was old. Director Qian, he can be of great use.”
Everyone looked at the photo, who was just a very handsome boy. His clothes were ordinary and even a little shabby. Apart from being handsome, the people present didn’t see how the young man could be of any great use. But they all kept the child’s name in mind and wanted to see if he was really as lucky as Gu Ye said.
“This person, thin and sharp without edges, with two drooping ends. He is cunning and greedy. Director Qian, be careful.”
“This one…” Gu Ye hesitated when he saw the photo of the girl who had taken him in earlier.
Director Qian asked with a smile, “What’s wrong with this girl? Master Gu, just tell me.”
Gu Ye asked confidently, “I only realized it after I saw Director Qian. Director Qian and she are related, right?”
Director Qian smiled and said, “Yes, she is my niece. She has liked this industry since she was a child. I plan to give her a hand with this movie. Whether she can succeed depends on her ability.”
Gu Ye said regretfully, “To be honest, she is not suitable for this industry. She is not an obedient person and will definitely cause trouble for you. Moreover, this movie may not be able to be filmed with her in the cast.”
Hearing that, Director Qian’s expression stilled. Somewhat disagreeing with Gu Ye’s statement, he said, “It’s impossible. I watched this child grow up. She is smart and filial.”
Gu Ye smiled, “Well, my opinion is only for reference. It is up to you to decide whether to use it or not.”
“Okay,” Director Qian’s face looked a little ugly, “I will make a careful decision.”
Gu Ye stopped talking on the matter after giving his reminder. He mentioned a few more promising ones on the list. The next step was to select actors. However, since he mentioned that Director Qian’s niece was restless, Gu Ye clearly felt that Director Qian’s attitude was not as warm as before.
Gu Ye pretended not to notice. He was paid to do the job, and he told the truth with a clear conscience. Just now, during the brief contact with the girl, he smelled a strange smell, which was very similar to a spice used by the Miao people. He had smelled this smell many times and would not mistake it, because he had a good friend in his previous life, who was a Miao. Only when you raise that ‘thing’ that you will use this spice.
During the audition, Gu Ye saw the people he recommended, and Director Qian put a tick on their profile, intending to keep them in the cast. Seeing that, Gu Ye’s mouth curved up. Director Qian was still a rational person.
Several actors who had heard that Gu Ye had spoken for them wanted to thank Gu Ye, but unfortunately, they never found the chance until noon when Gu Ye was leaving the audition early. A young actor saw the opportunity, ran to Gu Ye’s car, and bowed to him.
Gu Ye paused while buckling his seat belt, “You are?”
The 16- or 17-year-old boy, with a tense face and a determined look in his eyes, said, “I am the Chai Ming you mentioned, who ‘passed the imperial examination at a young age and became glorious in old age’. Thank you, Master Gu, for speaking for me.”
Gu Ye smiled, “Little boy, stick to your heart and you will have a promising future.”
Chai Ming bowed down again and clenched his fists tightly until Gu Ye’s car drove far away. Then he straightened up with red eyes. He is a child from a single-parent family and his family is poor. He was pulled here to audition because of his image which was suitable for the movie. He just wanted to make some money to supplement the family expenses and ease the burden on his mother. His goal is clear: to make money! As long as he can get this role, he can make 50,000 yuan, which can let his mother take a break and not have to sweep the streets while sick. Gu Ye’s recommendation gave him hope.
This scene happens to be seen by the man upstairs, “Is that… Gu Ye?”
Several staff members who were helping here recognized the movie star Qin Xu, and they all ran over excitedly, “When did Brother Qin arrive?”
Qin Xu smiled and said, “Just arrived, I went to record a talk show this morning.”
A girl said regretfully, “That was indeed the Third Young Master Gu. He helped Director Qian select actors this morning. He spoke very professionally but ordinary people couldn’t understand the meaning. If you had come an hour earlier, you would have met him.”
“I saw that he was so aggressive on Weibo, and I thought he was a rich second-generation who spoke very impolitely. I didn’t expect him to have a very good temper. He smiled when he spoke. It’s rare to see such a beautiful boy, and he is also very polite. The family tradition of the Gu family is really good.”
“He is indeed very polite when unprovoked but I heard that he is very arrogant. He even reproached Boss Xiang (the clothing sponsor).”
“Pff!” The assistant who brought water to Qin Xu said regretfully, “But really, it’s a pity that he likes men.”
Qin Xu took the water and thought of Gu Ye’s clear eyes. He felt moved and asked, “What do you mean?”
The assistant smiled and said, “It is said on the Internet that he and the president of Hongye Technology are a couple.”
Qin Xu held the water cup and watched Gu Ye leave with a smile. The pure white color of the sports car was as clean as a floating cloud in the blue sky. “Indeed, he is quite attractive. Even men’s attention will also be attracted by him, but it is not easy to catch him.”
The assistant was startled by Qin Xu’s words and quickly reminded, “There are reporters here. Brother Qin, don’t say anything casually. If someone hears it, it will be deliberately written as gossip and spread out, which will become rumors.”
Qin Xu chuckled, “What are you afraid of? I don’t steal or rob. I can’t look too much at a pleasant-looking girl, and now I can’t look too much at a pleasant-looking boy? I’m not Liu Xiahui.”
Everyone present accepted it resignedly. Only Film Emperor Qin would dare to say such words.
…
At this moment, Director Qian found his niece Xia Shiwen, “I heard that you didn’t send Master Gu up?”
Xia Shiwen pouted when she heard Gu Ye’s name. “Humph, he doesn’t like me. He says something sarcastic and mocks me as soon as he sees me. Is it that great that his family is rich?! Such a bully!”
When Director Qian heard this, he laughed, “You two are about the same age, why do you still dislike each other?”
“Maybe I’m ugly. Many people on the Internet say that he likes beauties, big beauties like Gao Yingjing.” Xia Shiwen touched her face and said angrily, “I don’t look like what a rich young man would like.”
“So you threw him away halfway?”
“I even tried to please him!”
Director Qian thought about it, chuckled, and shook his head. He thought that Gu Ye looked down on Xia Shiwen, probably because he was young and angry. A rich and talented young master must have felt wronged to be thrown away halfway. Director Qian knew his own niece best. He believed that she was a little willful, but she was not a bad person at all. He watched her grow up.
Director Qian put a checkmark on Xia Shiwen’s name and insisted on his original idea (to include her in the cast).
The assistant came over and said, “Director Qian, Qin Xu is here. He asked if he needed to submit any information.”
Director Qian was amused, “Tell him that it’s not necessary. How can I let him, the film emperor, to come and pay his respects to me in person?”
Xia Shiwen asked in surprise, “Qin Xu, is it the actor Qin Xu who won the Best Actor award last year?”
“Yes,” Director Qian winked at his niece, “This is a role model in the circle. His acting skills and character are impeccable. You should learn more from him.”
Xia Shiwen narrowed her eyes. She jumped over and hugged Director Qian’s arm, acting coquettishly, “Uncle, take me with you. I want to ask for an autograph from the actor Qin.”
Director Qian has no daughter, so he spoiled this niece like a daughter. When she made a fuss, Director Qian had no choice but to say, “Okay, we’ll do as you say. But be more obedient in the future, especially when there are outsiders.”
…
After leaving the film studio, Gu Ye found a place to eat. Then he contacted Yu Ze to confirm that the other party would be able to get off the plane at around 5.00 pm, and drove straight to the airport. The world is big, but the wife is the most important!
Knowing that his face could be easily recognized by young people, Gu Ye deliberately disguised himself by wearing a hat and sunglasses, covering most of his face. He didn’t get out of the car until he saw Yu Ze with his secretary and assistant. With a happy face, he ran towards Yu Ze.
Yu Ze took a few quick steps forward and went to catch Gu Ye.
Actually, Gu Ye stopped right before reaching Yu Ze but unexpectedly, he was hugged by Yu Ze in the next second. The smile on Gu Ye’s face stilled, and he awkwardly tugged Yu Ze’s coat, “Dear, the person behind you has dropped his jaw.”
Yu Ze chuckled and hugged Gu Ye tightly. Then he put his face next to Gu Ye’s ear, “Don’t care about them.”
Gu Ye smiled, “Then, you come with me, let them go home by themselves.”
In the shocked eyes of the group, Gu Ye took Yu Ze’s hand and snatched the suitcase from Secretary Liu. Then he pulled Yu Ze to his car, and smiled at the dumbfounded team, “I’ll take the person away and send him back tomorrow.”
Secretary Liu finally reacted and said quickly, “President Yu! Tonight’s dinner meeting!”
Yu Ze hooked the corner of his mouth, “Declined, I won’t go.”
Gu Ye smiled and waved, “Bye~”
Secretary Liu: “…”
After successfully snatching Yu Ze home, Gu Ye dragged the luggage to the door. He smiled and cupped Yu Ze’s face, “Your face doesn’t look very good, you haven’t adjusted to the time difference yet? I’ll go cook and you can go to bed early after eating. Then you can go back tomorrow morning.”
Yu Ze grabbed Gu Ye’s hand and pushed Gu Ye against the wall. Looking at the person he missed for more than 10 days, he couldn’t help but press Gu Ye against the wall for a deep kiss, “I miss you.”
Gu Ye blushed and stammered, “I, can see it.”
“See? Not feel?”
Gu Ye pinched Yu Ze’s face and changed the subject with a red face, “You change out into comfortable clothes first, I’ll go cook.”
“Gu Ye,” Yu Ze hugged Gu Ye tightly in his arms, “I’ll wait for you until you are 23 years old.”
Gu Ye’s mouth curved up, “Okay, then I will move in with you.”
Yu Ze kissed Gu Ye’s forehead, “Silly, that’s not what I said.”
Gu Ye blinked in confusion, “What?”
Yu Ze said helplessly, “Nothing, I’m hungry.”
Gu Ye pushed away the person who was clinging to him, “I’ll go cook now.”
Yu Ze looked at Gu Ye’s red ears and shook his head with a smile. No matter how naughty he is at other times, he is quite silly at this moment.
The incident regarding Gu Ye picking up Yu Ze at the airport was known. Even though he was wrapped tightly, he was still photographed with Yu Ze hugging him in his arms at the airport. Yu Ze’s face was always cold on any occasion, but the tenderness in his eyes when he hugged Gu Ye was the most touching.
Someone deliberately posted it online and asked Gu Ye: [Is this true between you two? Do you need to clarify?]
While the two were having dinner, the photo had spread all over the Internet. Gu Ye played dead as usual and downloaded the photo to show Yu Ze, “It’s pretty good.”
Yu Ze thought for a while, “How about I go and clarify it?”
“Are you clarifying or wanting to announce your relationship?” Gu Ye raised his eyebrows, not believing Yu Ze’s clarification at all. “Let’s wait until my father agrees. Whatever people on the Internet say, ignore them.”
Gu Ye didn’t clarify it, so the fans photoshopped their marriage certificate and left hundreds of thousands of comments on Gu Ye’s Weibo. Even in this case, Gu Ye didn’t reply so the fans took it as tacit consent: [Don’t say anything, if Gu Ye doesn’t argue, it’s the truth.]
[I wish you a baby soon! Give birth to a hundred! If you can’t give birth, it means President Yu is not working hard!]
Gu Ye couldn’t help it when he saw this and thought that as a wife-protecting maniac, he should do something. So he replied bravely: [Shut up!]
Fans immediately took a screenshot of this reply: [I felt a hint of shyness (deep thinking.jpg)]
Gu Ye held his forehead and said tiredly, “These people are really good at imagination. Where can they see shyness in my words?”
Yu Ze frowned, “I’ll go and clarify it.”
“Clarify your $ss! Don’t even think about clarifying this kind of thing!” Gu Ye threw a bath towel to Yu Ze unhappily, “Take a shower and go to bed! Leave early tomorrow morning!”
When Yu Ze finished taking a shower, Gu Ye had already tidied up the bed in the guest room. But Yu Ze simply tsk-ed and picked up the quilt. Turning around, he went back to Gu Ye’s bedroom with a cold face and stated his good reason, “The guest room is for guests to sleep, I won’t go.”
Gu Ye’s mouth twitched, “You really don’t consider yourself an outsider huh. Okay, half of the bed for each of us. Don’t blame me for being a hooligan if you cross the line.”
As a result, Gu Ye was held in Yu Ze’s arms all night and didn’t let go. It was difficult to turn over. When he got up, he was so tired that his whole body ached.
…
Soon, the actors of [An Lushan Rebellion] were decided. Director Qian’s assistant personally brought a list of actors and a check for 2.88 million yuan to Gu Ye. This price broke Gu Ye’s record for a single deal. Gu Ye took the money with a smile, thinking that he would go to the entertainment industry more often when he had time. The money in the entertainment industry is so easy to make!
Looking at the list again, Gu Ye frowned. Qin Xu was the lead actor, and Xia Shiwen was the second female lead.
Gu Ye tsk-ed a few times before saying, “If it is a blessing, it is not a disaster. If it’s a disaster, it is unavoidable.” Gu Ye sent a message to Secretary Yang, “Tell Qin Xu to stay away from girls. He has a peach blossom calamity. If he doesn’t handle it well, he may lose his life.”
After that, Gu Ye closed himself off to study.
…
The crew of [An Lushan Rebellion] has been filming for more than a month. Just when everything was going smoothly, this crew suddenly made big news. A first-line actor from the crew beside their site and a second-line actor from this crew fought because of pursuing Xia Shiwen and it was in front of the media. The two crews had to suspend filming, and the staff in the movie production were all confused. Two people were usually very stable, have they gone crazy?
On that day, after Gu Ye returned home, he counted with his fingers and said to Ling Ling, “Daughter, take down the Do Not Disturb sign at the door, someone will come to see me later.”
In less than half an hour, a woman in her forties came to the door, “Excuse me, is this Master Gu Ye’s home?”
Gu Ye put down the book in his hand, “Please come in.”
“Hello, Master Gu. I am Qin Xu’s agent and also his sister, my name is Qin Man.”
Gu Ye narrowed his eyes, “Sister Qin, please sit down and talk slowly. Ling Ling, give Auntie a cup of ginger sugar tea to drive away the cold.”
After Qin Man sat down, she saw the ginger tea on the table and thanked the little doll gratefully. Taking the tea, she said in surprise, “This little doll is so cute. Technology is so advanced now.”
Gu Ye smiled but did not explain.
Qin Man drank a sip of ginger sugar tea and felt much more comfortable. She was not feeling cold, but she had her period and was feeling pain all over her body. If she was not in a hurry, she would not have run so far to come here.
After calming down for a while, Qin Man said, “Master Gu, have you heard about what happened online today? Two male actors fought crazily for an unknown girl. Qin Xu’s mood has been off these past 2 days, although he hasn’t lost control, but… Alas! Secretary Yang said that you reminded Qin Xu twice before, saying that he had a peach blossom calamity. So I just want to ask you a question. For someone who is usually very serious, then all of a sudden he acted differently from usual whenever he mentions a certain woman, could he be cast a black magic?”
Gu Ye almost chuckled at the word ‘black magic’, and sighed helplessly, “As expected, he still couldn’t dodge it.”
