I Became the Koi Actor After Entering the Book - CH 46

Chapter 46 … “April on the Earth” Shooting

Chi ZhongQiao heard the private gossip in the company, but never took it to heart– it was all the same anyway. As long as they didn’t spread it everywhere, Chi Zhongqiao won’t care.

It’s a pity that his mood got sullied when he discovered the rumours that Lu Yuzhou was too partial and left no room for action.

Chi Zhongqiao himself was the one who was favored.

Lu Yuzhou is in a bad situation. Although the old man prefers him, it is precisely because of his preference that Lu Yuzhou needs to bear more prejudice and doubts. He almost sits in his current position with the cold eyes of the entire company.

And now, Lu Yuzhou is leaning against him again.

Chi Zhongqiao can ignore the gossip of “holding thighs” and “sticking to the gold master”, but he can’t ignore other people using this to attack Lu Yuzhou, accusing Lu Yuzhou of not distinguishing between public and private, and using power for personal gain.

The so-called holding thighs, others may not lose a piece of meat when they say a few words, but to Lu Yuzhou, this kind of gossip is the handle. Lu Yuzhou is in the tiger den, and everyone wants to pull him down and go up by themselves. Could it be a good thing to put his handle in front of people so brightly?

Chi Zhongqiao thought for a few days and found a way to change this -as long as he is not that “weak”, who can say that Lu Yuzhou is too partial?

It’s nothing more than that he is not popular enough, so gossips about favouritism , behind-the-scenes transactions or personal relationships are spread. But what if he is qualified? If he is the movie emperor or in the top line within the circle, who would say this? Only then can the gossip be turned around. Lu Yuzhou would be praised for his extraordinary eyesight and would be admirable.

If it weren’t for this, why would Chi Zhongqiao be in a hurry? Although his work arrangements last year were unreasonable and he couldn’t take advantage of the good momentum to become popular, with a good role like Shang Tang in his hand, it is not difficult for him to regain the momentum as before. It’s not for himself that he rushed to take roles to fill up his free time for the whole year.

Chi Zhongqiao slid down Lu Yuzhou’s shoulders and comforted him: “The old man said that you are young. I thought about it all night, but I still felt wrong.”

Lu Yuzhou slowly stretched out his hand and put it on Chi Zhongqiao’s palm.

In Chi Zhongqiao’s eyes, Lu Yuzhou is always good. As long as he acted like a baby, Chi Zhongqiao would indulge him. The hand that touched his face slipped and pinched Lu Yuzhou’s fingers: “How did you develop such a temper? Whoever angers you will have to bear the consequences. Doesn’t this mean you have a bad temper?”

Lu Yuzhou replied, “Yeah.” Chi Zhongqiao said, “If you only care about yourself, then you’re called narrow-minded, but you are not like that. You don’t only put your mind on yourself. Usually, you always remember to run back to the company when there is a problem, and go for a stroll wherever there is a view…”

Lu Yuzhou listened quietly as he spoke. He gradually understood why Chi Zhongqiao would pick the Bodhi beads on his wrist.

See the true self, see all beings, see the world.

He hoped that he would not draw the boundaries as a prison and keep himself in one place with no way to get out.

Chi Zhongqiao said, shaking Lu Yuzhou’s hand: “Are you listening?”

Lu Yuzhou said softly, “I’m listening, I remember it all.”

Chi Zhongqiao couldn’t help but squeeze his face again.

…

Because it was the flu, Chi Zhongqiao took a break for two days, and went to the studio when his body didn’t ache so much.

The main schedules for both the male and female leads were tight, and the sequence of all the scenes is arranged in advance. It is impossible to change because of Chi Zhongqiao. Fortunately, he does not have a lot of scenes. They only do a few scenes per day, and they are gone after the show.

”I’ll take a good rest after the performance, really.”

Chi Zhongqiao whispered.

Lu Yuzhou put a mask on him, his face turning grim.

Chi Zhongqiao said softly: “In fact, I feel much better now. Besides, it was not that serious.” He was frightened at home during these two days, for fear that the flu would pass to Lu Yuzhou. Fortunately, Lu Yuzhou was better than him, and he started drinking cold medicine to prevent him from getting infected.

Lu Yuzhou buttoned his hat on him, was silent for a few seconds, and said, “Okay, you must pay attention to your body.”

Chi Zhongqiao’s voice was half-muffled by the mask, and he had a nasal voice again, so he looked particularly well-behaved: “I won’t stay up late these days. I will make some time to read the script after the shooting for the day is completed.”

Lu Yuzhou’s face improved a lot, “Okay, Brother Qiao, go, come back early after the filming.”

Chi Zhongqiao nodded.

……

The heroes and heroines of “April on Earth” are all first-line talents, and their acting skills are decent.

Nie Rong’s personality is completely different from Fu Jingshen’s. Even if an actor fails to perform well, she will not roll up the script to curse. She was very reasonable, knowing that Chi Zhongqiao had a bad cold, she simply approved Chi Zhongqiao for a two-day holiday.

Chi Zhongqiao was sent by Du Yusheng today. Du Yusheng drove on the road and said while paying attention to the road: “Is your health better? You still have to rest more recently. You are not used to being so busy. You must not make yourself so tired for a while.” Zhong Yin, who was sitting in the co-pilot, nodded quickly: “Yes, it’s easy for people to get sick when they are busy and tired. When you got sick, I was so worried about you. Mr. Lu was more worried than me. Brother Qiao, you don’t know, I was scared to death when I received a call from President Lu the day before yesterday.”

Chi Zhongqiao raised his head: “He trained you?” Zhong Yin scratched his head: “No, he just let me pay more attention to your physical condition, so that you don’t get too busy. Speaking of which, when I called, the boss seemed to be in a good mood.”

Chi Zhongqiao lowered his head and said, “I will pay attention to it myself.”

Du Yusheng said, “You do your work, and Zhong Yin will handle the rest. He is the assistant you have hired, not the young master. Mr. Lu said that the flu was very serious. I originally wanted to take two more days off for you. But it won’t be good for you if you drag the whole group.”

It was because of this that Chi Zhongqiao had to film even if he was sick: “In fact, it is almost good. “

Du Yusheng shook his head: “Where does flu get well so easily? This disease can infect others. You will be in the group for some time, so be more careful. I will talk to the director and others. You don’t have to worry about it. “

Chi Zhongqiao nodded: “Good.”

Infectious diseases are annoying, and he would not go out if it weren’t for the sake of catching up with the rest of the crew.

He closed his eyes and slept in the car for a while.

……

On the set

Nie Rong finished one shot , the deputy director leaned in and said in a low voice, “Director Nie, Chi Zhongqiao has joined the group.”

Nie Rong nodded, “Yesterday the agent called and said he would come over. Get ready to make up for the scene from the day before yesterday. Take a shot.”

Nie Rong rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, “Fei Xi hasn’t arrived yet?”

Fei Xi, the female lead in “April on the Earth”, is a popular new star . It is said that she has a very good background and her character is somewhat cold when interacting with people.

The deputy director shook his head: “No.” He saw that Nie Rong’s face was not good, and he euphemistically said: “People have backgrounds, and they are popular. There is no other way.”

Would she not be arrogant, the newly promoted female idol with a lot of traffic ?

Nie Rong sighed, “Forget it.” After Chi Zhongqiao entered the set, he apologized to Nie Rong before going to the dressing room to put on make-up.

Du Yusheng stayed on Nie Rong’s side and apologized: “We created trouble for Director Nie. Zhongqiao had a low-grade fever yesterday, and he was very dizzy, so he didn’t come here. We are really sorry to delay your schedule.” Nie Rong shook his head after hearing this, “Illness has come like a mountain, who doesn’t feel uncomfortable? How is it now?”

Du Yusheng had a headache after thinking about it: “It’s not that serious, but he still has a cold .He’s already taking medicine, it’s not serious, but it’s…”

Nie Rong understood, “I know, it’s contagious.”

There is no way. The male and female leads’ main schedules are too close, and they have to go to the next crew immediately after filming. It is impossible to drag it because of Chi Zhongqiao.

Du Yusheng said: “Recently, Zhongqiao will try to minimize his contact with others except for filming. But please let the crew be careful too. It is really troublesome for you.”

He was thoughtful, Nie Rong smiled comfortably and shook his head, saying that it was okay.

Just then Chi Zhongqiao came over after putting on his makeup. He was still wearing a mask and didn’t walk too close. He stopped when he was a few steps away from people: “Director Nie.”

Nie Rong liked him very much. He is young and has acting skills and has a good temper. Although his sickness has somewhat hindered the crew’s progress, he tried to make up as much as he could. Nie Rong can’t even give birth to unhappiness.

Chi Zhongqiao sincerely apologized to Nie Rong again, and then he picked up his script and found a place where no one was present to recite his lines.

Du Yusheng was very relieved of Chi Zhongqiao, and glanced at him. He then asked Zhong Yin to take a bunch of hot drinks and greet the rest of the crew.

He was so meticulous and thoughtful that he saved Chi Zhongqiao’s effort.

Chi Zhong Qiao’an was sitting on his little stool, and after a while, the male lead on the crew came out with makeup.

The male lead is Li Jinghong, a veteran of the traffic niche, and his acting skills are the best among the field.

He was going to Nie Rong. When he left the dressing room, he caught a glimpse of Chi Zhongqiao. After thinking about it, he turned his direction and walked towards Chi Zhongqiao.

The assistant whispered : “Brother Li, he…” Li Jinghong nodded, “I know.”

Chi Zhongqiao put down the script when he saw him, and nodded at Li Jinghong. He was wearing a mask, and his smile couldn’t be seen . Only a pair of eyes were filled with soft smiles.

”Good morning, Mr. Li.” Li Jinghong smiled and asked, “I heard the director say yesterday that you took a leave of absence. Are you okay now?”

Chi Zhongqiao: “Much better than yesterday.” Li Jinghong nodded, “That’s good. You will have to film soon, so please hurry up and take a break.”

Chi Zhongqiao : “Okay, thank you, Teacher Li, for your concern.” Li Jinghong smiled, ” Yes.”

Chi Zhongqiao watched him leave, and Zhong Yin who was waiting on the side for a while, immediately rushed up.

”Ms. Li is very nice and kind, and cares about Brother Qiao.”

Zhong Yin whispered.

Chi Zhongqiao just laughed: “Don’t talk about the people in the crew next time.”

Du Yusheng rolled his eyes and slapped Zhong Yin’s head: “Speak less, use your eyes more, learn from your brother Qiao.”

Zhong Yin: “… Oh.” Why can’t he say it if it’s obviously a good thing?

Chi Zhongqiao glanced around, and said softly, “Say good things in person, don’t mention it behind them.” Zhong Yin looked stupid.

Du Yusheng sighed, pulled Zhong Yin to the side, and whispered: “I ask you, did Fei Xi enter the dressing room?”

Zhong Yin said with a dazed expression: “Yes.” Fei Xi came late and joined the group later. Without saying hello, she went straight to the dressing room.

Du Yusheng: “She saw Zhongqiao but did not bother to say hello. You boast Li Jinghong to be good-natured. If she heard it, what would she think?”

Zhong Yin suddenly realized: “Oh!”

He remembered Chi Zhongqiao’s phrase “good things in person, not behind them,” pondered it over, and muttered: “Speech is really an art.”

Chi Zhongqiao walked behind Zhong Yin quietly, “Say good things in front of people, but not necessarily in the person’s face. When you mention someone, you have to look at who is behind. Understanding people in the circle is the most important. Others give you a bit of kindness, and you treat others as good. But if you think that the other person is really kind, then you are stupid.”

Zhong Yin was a little overwhelmed.

Chi Zhongqiao sighed. The child is more stupid than himself: “This is not “Invisible Crime” or “School Flowers”. Speak a little less. Let’s leave after the filming.”

Li Jinghong was sitting not far away.

When the assistant came down, the assistant immediately brought a cup of cold medicine. Li Jinghong frowned when he saw it: “When did you buy it?”

Assistant: “It was not bought, but Chi Zhongqiao’s assistant sent it over.” He opened a small bag with several bags in it. Ginger tea and cold granules.

Li Jinghong snorted.

The assistant complained: “Also, you already know that he has the flu, and the disease is so contagious.” Li Jinghong paused, “If I saw him and didn’t say hello, won’t people think I’m acting like a big shot ?”

Assistant: “Then. Will you… use it?” The assistant swallowed the first half of his sentence in time.

Li Jinghong sighed, “Politeness is not for people to show. But…it’s a pity.” His popularity didn’t catch up with the momentum, and it wouldn’t be so easy to turn it over again.

There are a lot of newcomers in the circle who suddenly became popular and then went quiet, and Chi Zhongqiao seemed to be like this.

Maybe he can’t act with Chi Zhongqiao in the future.

Li Jinghong felt a little regretful when he thought of the other party’s acting skills.
