The Common Man's Return in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 90: Did I offend someone?

"Thank you, Sister Yuanyuan, for your help."

Gao Yuanyuan smiled and waved her hand, "This is no trouble at all. Anyway, it's getting late, you should get some rest."

"Okay, Yuanyuan too, go back and rest early."

"Okay, goodnight."

"Good night."

Hearing the door close behind her, Gao Yuanyuan paused, glanced at the door out of the corner of her eye, and walked toward the elevator with a puzzled look on her face. This guy is actually so honest.

Gao Yuanyuan thought that Ji Qingxu had ulterior motives for calling her in, but she didn't expect that Ji Qingxu would not do anything after taking a shower and simply thank her.

This made Gao Yuanyuan suddenly feel a little awkward. Wasn't this guy a womanizer? Or was he just putting on an act in front of her?

Ji Qingxu, who was in the room, glanced at the door and took a sip of honey water with a smile. He had clearly seen Gao Yuanyuan's strange behavior earlier. Ji Qingxu did it on purpose. He wondered if this woman would have insomnia tonight.

Thinking of this, Ji Qingxu smiled and finished the honey water in his cup. After sitting for a while, he rinsed his mouth and went to sleep.

.

"The person you've been thinking about has arrived."

The next morning, after Ji Qingxu finished her makeup and walked into the film set, Gao Yuanyuan blurted out this sentence.

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingxu asked in confusion, "Who am I thinking about?"

Gao Yuanyuan forced a smile, "My 'older sister.'"

Ji Qingxu smiled and asked, "You've met her?"

"Oh, I just saw her putting on makeup."

Seeing Ji Qingxu staring at her face, Gao Yuanyuan blinked. "What are you looking at?"

"Your skin looks great."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan blushed, glared at Ji Qingxu, and turned away. Ji Qingxu smiled silently at her reaction.

Although he didn't see dark circles under Gao Yuanyuan's eyes, Ji Qingxu guessed it was due to makeup, but he did see the redness caused by lack of sleep in Gao Yuanyuan's eyes.

After a while, Ji Qingxu saw his senior, Huang Shengyi, the new "kung fu girl" who hadn't yet become a sensation, arrive on the set.

Watching Wang Sanri walk towards Huang Shengyi, Ji Qingxu felt a bit of admiration. This fat Wang was really shrewd. Even though "Kung Fu" hadn't been released yet, this fat man had already invited Huang to play a role that wasn't too big or too small.

If "Kung Fu Hustle" becomes a huge hit, then we can ride its coattails; if "Kung Fu Hustle" is of poor quality, Huang Shengyi's role won't have much screen time, so it won't affect the overall situation.

The two chatted for a while, then saw Fatty Wang beckon to him, "Qingxu, come here for a second."

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingxu strode over.

"Ji Qingxu, the male lead of our drama, Huang Shengyi, who plays Liu Shengxueji. Qingxu, Ms. Huang has some matters to attend to, so she doesn't have much time on set. We'll be filming your scenes together in the next few days."

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingxu smiled and said, "I will follow Director Wang's arrangements."

Wang Sanri smiled with satisfaction. "Alright, it's settled then. You two chat for a while and get to know each other. I remember you two are alumni, right?"

Ji Qingxu looked at the somewhat aloof Huang Shengyi and smiled, "Yes, Senior Huang is a year older than me. By the way, Director Wang, I remember Sister Yuanyuan also has a role. How about I call her over so we can chat together?"

"Yes, Miss Gao, please come here for a moment."

.

Hearing Wang Sanri's call, Gao Yuanyuan walked over with some confusion. "Director Wang?"

Wang Sanri said with a smile, "Since the three of you are filming together, you can chat and get to know each other better."

After saying that, Wang Sanri walked to the side.

After Fatty Wang had walked away, Ji Qingxu saw the two women silently sizing each other up without saying a word and said with a smile, "How about we introduce ourselves first?"

Gao Yuanyuan glanced at Ji Qingxu and smiled, "Hello, my name is Gao Yuanyuan, and I play Liu Sheng Piaoxu in this drama."

"Hello, my name is Huang Shengyi..."

After the introductions were completed, they started chatting, led by Ji Qingxu.

Seeing Huang Shengyi's taciturn appearance, Ji Qingxu glanced at her lightly. What's wrong with this woman? Ji Qingxu probably knew that she was quite talkative when she did live-streaming sales in her later life.

Once the crew was ready to begin filming, the group separated.

Glancing at Huang Shengyi walking away into the distance, Gao Yuanyuan teased with a smile, "Qingxu, it seems your charm isn't that great after all."

Ji Qingxu chuckled and said, "Sister Yuanyuan also thinks I'm very charming?"

Gao Yuanyuan pursed her lips, "What's the use?"

"It's okay, she doesn't have many lines. If Sister Yuanyuan is like her, then I'll be in trouble."

Gao Yuanyuan chuckled, then covered her mouth and whispered, "Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you."

"Thank you for reminding me, Sister Yuanyuan."

Seeing Ji Qingxu looking at her with a smile, Gao Yuanyuan paused for a moment, then immediately wiped the smile off her face, gave a soft snort, and strode away to the side.

Seeing this, Ji Qingxu couldn't help but chuckle. This woman was just like a child!

"What's wrong with you? Can't you even hold a wire? Didn't you eat breakfast?"

Hearing Cheng Xiaodong reprimanding the Cheng family members in the distance, Ji Qingxu lightly wiped his lips, glanced at Huang Shengyi in front of him, and noticed a few red marks on his fingers.

"Senior Huang, are you alright?"

Huang Shengyi said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, I'll go touch up my makeup."

"it is good."

Seeing Huang Shengyi turn her head away with a blush on her face, Ji Qingxu raised an eyebrow.

The scene the two were filming was a martial arts duel on the water. There was a scene where the two were facing each other with their swords clashing. During the filming, the stuntman didn't hold the wire properly, and since the two were already close together, they ended up kissing.

Huang Shengyi's reaction puzzled Ji Qingxu. Although the outside world reported that "Kung Fu" was her first film, Ji Qingxu remembered that she seemed to have acted in another film before. Was she that sensitive?

Seeing Wang Sanri walk up to Deng Yancheng and point at the camera while saying something, Ji Qingxu seemed to be thinking about the plot of Huang Shengyi in "The World's Finest". It seems that Zhou Xingchi's company has some restrictions on her. After all, the role of "mute girl" is a pure and innocent one, so perhaps "kissing scenes" cannot be filmed.

However, thinking of Huang Shengyi's later antics, Ji Qingxu smiled and walked to the side, took the water bottle from Zhang Zhong and took a sip. This senior Huang was not as "pure" as she appeared on the surface.

"Cut!"

"Miss Huang, please get a little closer, it's alright."

"it is good."

"Cut!"

"Miss Huang, don't lean back!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't realize it for a moment."

"5

""

Glancing at Huang Shengyi in front of him, Ji Qingxu was speechless. This woman, does she think I'm a snake? The thing is, I didn't even bite her... uh, no, I kissed her by accident before, I didn't do it on purpose, does she really think I'm a snake?

"continue."

Upon hearing Deng Yancheng's signal, Ji Qingxu walked back to his original position expressionlessly.

"Action!"

After the two were pressed together again, seeing that Huang Shengyi was leaning back, Ji Qingxu subtly exerted force with his leg, and the two were instantly pressed together and staring at each other. Noticing the surprise in Huang Shengyi's eyes, Ji Qingxu continued to act according to his own ideas.

"Cut!"

"Okay, pass."

Upon hearing this sound, Ji Qingxu breathed a sigh of relief and let the steel cable pull him back to the shore.

"Did you do something to offend them?"

"Sister Yuanyuan, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

"Then why did it take so long to film such a simple scene?"

"Simple? Why don't you take a look at the marks on my body?"

Seeing Ji Qingxu start to roll up his clothes after speaking, Gao Yuanyuan instinctively covered her mouth after just one glance. The red and purple marks on Ji Qingxu's body were clearly visible, looking dense and quite terrifying.

"Oh my god, how come there are so many marks? Quickly go get some medicine to apply."

Ji Qingxu put down the clothes and said with a smile, "Could you please wipe my back for me, Sister Yuanyuan?"

Looking at Ji Qingxu's bright smile, Gao Yuanyuan was a little dazed. Could what she had just seen be an illusion? Those bruises looked painful, but Ji Qingxu seemed completely unaffected. Gao Yuanyuan's heart was slightly touched, and her voice softened, "Okay, let's go to the dressing room."

"OK."

After entering the dressing room, Ji Qingxu took off his clothes, poured some of his own secret medicine into his hand, and handed the bottle to Gao Yuanyuan.

"I'm sorry to trouble you with my back, Sister Yuanyuan."

"it is good."

Taking the bottle containing the black liquid from Ji Qingxu, Gao Yuanyuan asked curiously, "Did you mix this yourself?"

"Yes, it's a secret medicine, never to be revealed to outsiders."

Gao Yuanyuan chuckled upon hearing this, "You think it's some kind of Black Jade Bone-Mending Ointment, a secret medicine?"

"Of course. Although it can't compare to the amazing effects of the Black Jade Bone-Mending Ointment, it is still a secret medicine that has been passed down in my Ji family for a hundred years."

"Really?"

"Ten thousand yuan a bottle."

"What? This little bit costs ten thousand dollars?"

"right."

"You're not kidding me, are you?"

"What benefit would I get from lying to Sister Yuanyuan?"

"...That's right. How was it? Was my technique too heavy? Just let me know if it hurts."

"good."

"Should we apply it again?"

"No need, I'll just apply it again before I go to bed tonight."

"Okay, I'll go wash my hands first. You get dressed yourself."

"it is good."

After Gao Yuanyuan finished speaking, she put the medicine bottle aside and quickly walked out.

After leaving the dressing room, Gao Yuanyuan glanced at her hands, which bore some dark marks, and blinked. This guy's back is so broad and sturdy...

Hearing footsteps approaching from afar, Gao Yuanyuan scoffed, "Why are you acting like a lovesick fool?" She glanced at the approaching figure and quickly headed towards the restroom.

After washing their hands, the two went to the film set and ate their boxed lunches.

As soon as she opened her lunchbox, Gao Yuanyuan asked again, "You really didn't offend anyone?"

Ji Qingxu chuckled, "Sister Yuanyuan, this is the first time I've met her. How could I have offended her? It can't be because I'm too handsome and she's jealous, right?"

"Tch, shameless."

After saying that, Gao Yuanyuan asked with a puzzled look, "Then why did she have to do so many takes? You two were both tied with wires. If you were like that, then she must have had it tough too."

While eating his boxed lunch, Ji Qingxu replied, "Maybe they were captivated by my good looks."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan pursed her lips. This guy is really shameless.

Recalling the scenes they filmed that morning, Gao Yuanyuan raised an eyebrow. "Has she never acted before?"

"Yes, I've filmed it. I just finished filming a Stephen Chow movie."

"So she's just...pretending!"

Hearing Gao Yuanyuan whisper these words beside him, Ji Qingxu smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Sister Yuanyuan has excellent insight."

Gao Yuanyuan asked softly, "You noticed it too?"

Ji Qingxu smiled and shook her head. "I didn't see that coming, but since she was chosen by Stephen Chow to be the female lead, I believe her acting skills aren't that bad."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan nodded subconsciously, then her expression became somewhat strange. "Do you think there's another possibility, that she really likes you, so..."

""

Seeing Gao Yuanyuan staring intently at him, Ji Qingxu smiled and leaned closer. "Sister Yuanyuan, do you like me?"

"Tch, who likes you, you womanizer."

"Sigh, it seems my charm can only captivate the older sister, not the younger sister. Is there something wrong with the script? The younger sister clearly likes me too. I'll go ask Director Wang later."

Hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan angrily punched Ji Qingxu, "You shameless jerk, have you no shame?"

Ji Qingxu laughed loudly, "I want to eat."

"snort."

Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Ji Qingxu, then picked up her chopsticks and silently began to eat.

Just thinking about what Ji Qingxu had said earlier, Gao Yuanyuan's lips unconsciously curved into a slight smile. However, thinking about the news she had seen some time ago, Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but glance at Ji Qingxu sideways. What a bad man.

Noticing Gao Yuanyuan's gaze, Ji Qingxu ate his boxed lunch with a smile, not paying any attention. This woman was quite perceptive; she actually saw through Huang Shengyi's true nature in an instant. Indeed, women understand women best.
