Chapter 635 Principal Wang, who took the bullet, and Ju Jingyi, who got scolded
……
……
The commercials were still playing on TV; prime-time advertising slots on CCTV-6 are always in high demand.
The young, handsome man on the screen smiled brightly, holding up a bottle of milk from a certain brand, revealing a set of white teeth.
"Master, what are you looking at?"
Jing Tian stretched lazily, her increasingly plump waist arching back and then forward, revealing her ever more graceful curves.
Her fair and delicate face tilted to the side, and she fell directly onto Gu Qing's shoulder, her long, black hair cascading over his shoulder and arm.
Da Tian Tian peeked upwards, trying to steal a glance at Gu Qing's phone screen.
However,
Celebrities' phones all have privacy screens; when viewed from the side, you can only see a completely black screen and can't see anything at all.
"A master?"
Da Tiantian pouted, rested her chin on Gu Qing's shoulder, rubbed against him, and refused to leave.
"News about Senior Sister Liu."
Gu Qing lowered her eyes, lightly touched the screen with her fingertips, and couldn't help but laugh when she saw the message.
The screen displayed messages from Liu Tianxian, one after another, like a machine gun.
"Little Duan, since you're so eager to see me, this fairy sister will reluctantly say a few words to you."
"Junior brother, I saved you from dying a thousand or ten thousand times. How are you going to thank your savior?"
"No need for you to repay me with your body, but I'll reluctantly ask you to treat me to another meal."
"'Again?'"
Gu Qing was about to reply when the tip of her nose started to itch slightly.
Who is Senior Sister Liu?
Tong Liya felt a little thirsty. She had reached out to grab the milk tea on the table, but looked at it with confusion upon hearing this.
Jing Tian's chin was almost touching her younger brother's shoulder as she stared longingly at his phone screen.
Tong Liya was also curious.
She gently leaned closer, her forehead lightly touching Gu Qing's head, her hair carrying a faint floral fragrance.
Two different perfume scents lingered around Gu Qing's nose.
The room's heating seemed to have increased by several degrees in those few seconds.
"Liu Tianxian, she is my senior at Beijing Film Academy."
Gu Qing lightly wiped the tip of her nose with the back of her hand, put down her phone, naturally leaned forward, left the sofa, and bent down to rummage through the snacks on the table.
"Liu Tianxian?"
The room was quiet for a moment.
The only thing still playing on TV was a commercial for laundry detergent, showing a woman hanging bed sheets in the sun, smiling happily.
"How could it be her?"
Upon hearing Gu Qing's answer, Tong Liya and Jing Tian suddenly fell silent.
The two of them exchanged a glance.
The sisters' shattered little boat seems to be able to be healed again.
Faced with such an opponent, all talk of "sisterly competition" has to be put aside for now.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Liu Yifei is the common "enemy" of all female celebrities.
"Speaking of which, Liu Tianxian is also my senior. I think she was in the class of 02, which is five years older than me."
Jing Tian twirled a strand of hair at her temple with her fingertips, forced a smile, and tried to keep her tone natural.
"Master, what does Senior Sister Liu want with you?"
"She accused me of infringing on her copyright as Wang Yuyan, and she just came to me to freeload."
Gu Qing smiled and picked up a few snacks. She flipped through the calorie charts on the packaging and found that they were all high in calories. So she sat cross-legged and put the snacks back.
The female artists in the film crew all have to gain weight. They can eat whatever they want during this time, as the rounder they look on camera, the better.
On the contrary, male celebrities need to control their physique and focus on managing their demeanor.
"This is the 97 version of 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils,' not her 03 version. Why is she asking for royalties?"
Da Tiantian muttered something, unable to contain herself any longer.
Her voice had a sour taste, like a whole bottle of vinegar had been spilled.
If it were any other female celebrity, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
Anyone can do it.
Even if they are called "Four Little Actresses" or "New Top Stars", Jing Tian doesn't panic at all.
But Liu Tianxian?
You're already a celestial being, why don't you just stay in the Moon Palace and not come down? Can't you just drink your dew?!
Da Tiantian gently bit her back teeth, her fair cheeks puffed out slightly, and her brows furrowed into a small "川" character.
"Little brother, I see you've been looking for so long, don't you have anything you like to eat?"
Tong Liya is different from Jing Tian; she is more composed.
She asked gently and with concern, "What would you like to eat? I'll order for you."
"No need. By the time I finish watching the show, it will be past 10 o'clock and I should be going to sleep. Eating at this time will make it hard to digest and I won't be able to fall asleep."
Gu Qing shook her head and refused.
"Can't sleep? That's good!"
Da Tiantian's bright white ears twitched. She bent down, quickly picked up a small cake, and fiercely showed it off on the sofa.
After watching the show and going back,
She was determined to keep Gu Qing completely from even having time to overthink or touch her phone all night.
Can't sleep? Then don't sleep!
"Sweetie, who mistreated you tonight? Didn't they give you any food?"
Tong Liya smiled and shook her head, then pulled out a tissue and handed it to her, saying, "Wipe your mouth. Be careful not to get too fat."
"Nobody has treated me badly. I'm just hungry and want to replenish my energy."
Jing Tian glanced at Gu Qing's retreating figure, then gave Tong Liya a sweet smile.
"At worst, I'll just exercise more in my room at night, and I'll definitely be able to digest it."
"Exercising too intensely at night is bad for your health."
Gu Qing couldn't help but turn around, glance at Da Tian Tian, and couldn't help but offer a word of advice:
"Eat less and go to bed early. You have training tomorrow morning."
Who would have thought,
Hearing this, Jing Tian got even more excited. Looking at Gu Qing, her lips stained with cream, she took a big bite and swallowed the whole cake.
Her cheeks were full and round, her head held high and chest out, her lips slurred and her expression unsteady, exuding an air of authority.
"I'll eat it! If you don't give it to me, I'll eat it anyway!!"
"Okay, okay, you can eat it."
Gu Qing said helplessly, "Enjoy your meal, but don't complain about the hardship when you exercise, or you'll regret it later."
"Ha, come on, make me regret it."
Da Tian Tian swayed left and right, provoking them wildly.
That's a really clumsy attempt at provocation...
Tong Liya: "..."
What slang are you two using with me?
Do you really think she doesn't understand?
"Hmm? Sweetie, how do you plan to make your little brother regret this?"
Tong Liya smiled slightly, her soft voice carrying just the right amount of doubt, and chose to join the conversation in a serious manner.
"Sister Ya Ya, don't listen to her nonsense. Why would I make her regret it?"
Gu Qing raised his hands in surrender, turning his back to Da Tiantian, truly afraid that if they chatted a few more words, he might utter some outrageous remarks.
"Hehe, Sister Ya Ya, I was just joking, don't take it seriously."
Da Tiantian blushed, preoccupied with competing with Gu Qing. Suddenly remembering that Tong Liya, an "experienced person," was also in the room, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
She gently scraped a little cream with her fork and put it between her lips, her movements becoming slow and deliberate.
The room suddenly became quiet.
Only the television was still playing, and the commercials on Huangguo TV had changed several times until the behind-the-scenes footage of the new season of "I Am a Singer" appeared.
The camera pans across the stage lights, the band, and the glow sticks waving in the audience, accompanied by rousing background music, creating a tense atmosphere of "battle about to begin."
"By the way, have you guys been watching the news lately?"
Tong Liya broke the silence.
"It seems that one of the rappers on 'I Am a Singer' was replaced."
"I know, I know, it's that guy named Gai, right?"
Once the conversation turned to gossip, Da Tiantian perked up, completely recovering from her earlier embarrassment.
"His cover of 'A Laugh in the Vast Sea' in the first episode was quite good, but unfortunately it coincided with Xiao Lu's scandal, so he had to be replaced."
immediately,
She looked at Gu Qing with great concern.
"Master, you can sing those hip-hop songs too, but you must not get too close to these people, or you'll easily get implicated."
Now, within the entire industry, hip-hop artists have become universally reviled and ostracized.
Female celebrities are terrified of appearing in the same shot as them.
If any scene of them laughing or joking appears, it will definitely be the subject of rumors and gossip.
They're saying you're having an affair with so-and-so.
If you're accused of being part of the "overnight stay scandal," all sorts of wild speculations and stigmatization will come flooding in.
Male celebrities are also feeling insecure.
When those hip-hop artists see you, they stand up to greet you and respectfully call you "Brother".
I'm asking you if you dare to accept.
after all,
Liangzi was only nailed to the pillar of shame a few days ago, how could you all have already forgotten?!
That bright green hat is watching over all of you from heaven!
Every married male celebrity couldn't help but glance up, then immediately look down to check on his wife's whereabouts.
Every married female celebrity should also look up and then silently delete the chat history that shouldn't be on their phone.
This hat,
It's the hottest fashion item in the entertainment industry this winter.
Unfortunately, no one dared to wear it.
……
"Yeah, I'm not stupid."
Gu Qing responded softly, his eyes reflecting the light and shadow on the television screen, flickering between bright and dark.
"There are some things... that cannot be done."
His voice was very soft, so soft that it sounded like he was talking to himself.
But Tong Liya heard it.
Every word was clearly audible.
The light and shadow from the television screen shone on Tong Liya's face, making her expression difficult to discern.
Her delicate eyebrows were lowered, her eyelashes casting a shadow beneath her eyes, and her slender fingertips unconsciously scraped against the creases of the sofa, again and again.
"..."
Gu Qing lowered her eyes and looked at the candy wrappers on the table.
He's not stupid.
On the contrary, he was clear-headed enough.
Say:
Hong Shixian's motto: "If you want excitement, then go all the way."
In the final episode, he drowned.
The one who dared to end half a career with a single shot was Qian Ge, not him.
Falling in love on set and spending so much time together, it's impossible to control hormones; it's just human nature.
These are not unspoken rules within the circle, but rather a consensus among all people with sound minds.
Spending a long time with someone, making eye contact, talking, and having physical contact every day, it's no wonder problems arise.
otherwise,
When Gu Qing said in an interview, "When I film a movie, I become passionate and fall in love with my character,"
Even the fans didn't get much anger or a large-scale exodus of fans.
The real reason most people are so happy and praise their younger brother is that he is a good actor.
But engaging in promiscuous behavior in private is a different matter entirely.
In her previous life, Gu Qing witnessed firsthand the downfall of countless young male celebrities.
now,
He is showered with praise by both outsiders and those around him, with countless compliments:
Sunny, polite, humble, witty, humorous...
He's almost gone from being the "Nation's Little Brother" to the "Nation's Boyfriend".
How could Gu Qing not know what kind of person she was?
Love was passionate, but the breakup was swift.
Even if you like someone a lot, it shouldn't affect his work and career.
No one can do it!
Gu Qing will only ever remember one thing:
Without the halo of being a top star and without a prominent career, no one will take him seriously anymore!
They'll only see him as a piece of meat...
That's just how cruel the reality is in this industry.
Today you are at the top of the entertainment industry, everyone is praising you, flattering you, and revolving around you;
If your house collapses tomorrow, everyone will avoid you like the plague, not even a single phone call to inquire. Gu Qing knows better than anyone what she should and shouldn't do.
The general public wouldn't view a scenario in the entertainment industry where the male lead falls for the female lead, or vice versa.
The two were so deeply in love that they considered it a violation of public morals.
Most netizens have only one requirement for celebrities in the entertainment industry:
Just uphold moral principles and avoid doing anything illegal or disorderly.
As for examples like actors getting too caught up in a movie, the male lead divorcing his wife, the female lead getting divorced, and the two getting married.
There are quite a few such cases.
Many of the award-winning actors and actresses who are still active on screen are among those involved.
Like the famous Zhou Xun, early netizens, who didn't know about her explosive love history?
If those stories were told today, any one of them would be trending at number one on social media.
But as her works became hits one after another, those "dark histories" automatically turned into "romantic anecdotes".
There may be some discussion and criticism, but as long as you continue to produce good works, it will automatically become a plus.
But if it were to escalate to something like Xiaolu and Magneto's situation, then it would be a disaster if it came to that, and even the biggest stars wouldn't stand a chance.
Gu Qing knew perfectly well what was going on.
Infidelity is not uncommon in the entertainment industry.
Every now and then you hear about so-and-so "sparking" on set, or so-and-so's marriage "living in name only".
Those in the industry are well aware of these matters, but everyone tacitly remains silent.
The "overnight stay scandal" has had such a huge impact.
Ultimately, it was because Brother Liang was so pitiful that he completely aroused the public's sympathy.
The "loving couple" and "good father" images created through variety shows
For many years, he has left the public with the perfect impression of being a "doting husband" and having a "happy family".
The results of it?
Being cheated on is one thing, but another.
The fact that their affair was exposed right before their New Year's Eve performance was truly hellish.
Who wouldn't feel sorry for Brother Liang after seeing this?
In particular, the singer who had the affair was a rapper.
Liang Ge even personally sent you a support video to cheer you on.
Who wouldn't have a stroke after seeing this?
This is a textbook example of "biting the hand that feeds you".
In any era and any culture, this plot would be a blood pressure spike.
……
"That's right, Master, you're absolutely right. There are some things you just shouldn't touch."
Da Tiantian wholeheartedly agreed and nodded vigorously.
"By the way, little brother, did you follow Zhuo Wei's revelations from the other day?"
Tong Liya's voice returned to calm as she raised her pretty face to look at Gu Qingshi, her gentleness as ever, like that of a family member.
She joked, "That young master Wang is furious."
"Sister Ya Ya, it's his own fault for always using other people to create hype. Now he deserves to be the scapegoat."
Gu Qing met his gaze and responded with a smile.
This young master Wang was happily gossiping online, jumping around on the internet, eagerly anticipating what kind of bombshell Zhuo Wei would reveal.
Ideally, all the bedroom photos should be leaked so I can feast my eyes.
But on Wednesday, he was celebrating his thirtieth birthday—
Zhuo Wei directly posted: "Principal Wang changed two girlfriends in 30 hours, a glorious feat."
It instantly attracted public attention.
All the netizens who were originally paying attention to the "overnight stay scandal" suddenly flocked to this exposé, and the comment section instantly exploded.
"Two changes in 30 hours? Principal Wang is going to break a Guinness World Record!"
"No wonder he's the principal, a master of time management."
"Others receive gifts on their birthdays, but Principal Wang receives a girlfriend on his birthday?"
A flood of comments mocking, ridiculing, and gossiping about the event turned Principal Wang's 30th birthday celebration into a complete mess thanks to Zhuo Wei.
Young Master Wang was so angry that he almost fainted and vomited blood. He then launched into a tirade of profanities on his blog.
He wanted to spew out all sorts of nasty things, wishing he could curse Zhuo Wei's ancestors for eighteen generations.
But he really didn't dare to do anything to Zhuo Wei.
Because Zhuo Wei still has information.
Lots of material.
Principal Wang was also in a panic, fearing that he might miss seeing other people's bedroom photos, but his own would be exposed by Zhuo Wei first, and then everything would be over.
Although he is vulgar, if those photos were leaked, where would his old father put his face?
Does he even care about his company's image anymore?
All they could do was get furious and suppress their anger.
But Young Master Wang is not one to tolerate things.
He got insulted, so naturally he had to insult back.
But Zhuo Wei couldn't be scolded.
Then just randomly pick an unlucky person online.
This is not,
Principal Wang, who was frantically refreshing the trending topics, saw two familiar names:
Ju Jingyi praised Gu Qing, saying: "I'm completely a fan of hers."
"Gu Qing? Ju Jingyi?!"
"When the hell did these two get involved?!"
Principal Wang was already furious. When he opened the interview video, he saw Ju Jingyi with a fangirl expression, praising Gu Qing incessantly in a clear voice.
Now,
This is no less than adding fuel to the fire.
These two guys are his "enemies"!
Gu Qing, please don't say anything more.
Principal Wang felt it was his 30th birthday, so he sent messages, made phone calls, and even personally had someone notify Gu Qing's agent, wanting him to come to his birthday banquet.
The results of it?
Gu Qing declined, citing filming commitments, and only had her agent reply: "Happy birthday, I'm very busy."
That's it?
When Principal Wang saw this reply, he was completely stunned.
He even thought he was seeing things.
"Go to hell! You're the only one who's busy, but aren't I busy too?!"
Principal Wang was furious for two days, and his anger hadn't subsided.
He had never been so humble in his entire life when he tried to woo a woman.
When did it become a male celebrity's turn to put on airs in front of him?
Gu Qing really thinks he's something special!
Principal Wang kept cursing and swearing, and he kept poking at his phone screen, making a clicking sound.
And when some netizens with a mischievous eye,
Commenting under his birthday blog: "Principal, where is Gu Qing?"
When Principal Wang saw this comment, his face instantly turned ashen, and he quickly typed out a line:
"He's not my brother, so of course he's not here!"
This reply was screenshotted, forwarded, and commented on by netizens.
"Hahaha, is Principal Wang angered by his younger brother?"
Principal Wang: Gu Qing is not worthy to be my brother! Gu Qing: I didn't even intend to!
"Hilarious, even Principal Wang got rejected one day."
This birthday party marked the beginning of his severing ties with Gu Qing!
Although, they don't seem to have any connection...
And what about Ju Jingyi?
Coincidentally, the conflict with Principal Wang also occurred at the birthday banquet.
Starting from 14 years ago,
Principal Wang had been following Ju Jingyi on his blog, frequently stalking the young girl's selfies, liking them, and showing his affection.
He followed every update of Ju Jingyi, liked every selfie she posted, and even reposted her photos with the caption, "So beautiful."
This caused quite a stir at the time.
After all, Principal Wang's online image has always been one of "sharp tongue," "intelligent," and "confrontational."
His sudden gentleness towards a girl made everyone think he was about to seriously pursue her.
But Ju Jingyi ignored him completely.
Not only did they not follow back, they didn't even reply to a single comment.
Her blog was clean and tidy, featuring only her own content, with no trace of men other than girls.
Principal Wang felt embarrassed and even more upset.
After that,
Principal Wang was not satisfied, so during an event he organized, he specially invited Ju Jingyi's 48 group and asked the female artist to dress up as a "bunny girl" to celebrate for him.
The meaning is also quite clear:
Didn't you ignore me?
Aren't you supposed to be aloof and superior?
Then I'll have all your group members come and be my "bunny girls," let's see how you pretend then!
But as a result,
All the other members of the group arrived at the event, but Ju Jingyi was absent again.
This angered Principal Wang time and time again.
At his last birthday party on a luxury yacht two years ago, he invited Ju Jingyi for the last time.
This time there was finally a response—
However, it was Ju Jingyi who firmly refused.
She didn't even make excuses, like "scheduling conflict" or "feeling unwell," but instead refused directly, decisively, and without any mercy.
This refusal thoroughly angered Principal Wang.
He wasn't very forgiving to begin with, and after being rejected several times, he went from liking selfies to...
Instead, he liked negative posts about Ju Jingyi and publicly dissed her, saying, "So pretentious..."
Since then,
That's how Principal Wang and Ju Jingyi started their feud.
And now,
The girl he desperately wanted, who repeatedly invited him but never even glanced at him, was cold and resistant to him.
But when she turned around in the video and mentioned Gu Qing, her coquettish look with starry eyes made me feel disgusted.
That feeling,
It's like the goddess you've been chasing for three years but haven't been able to win over. She's cold and aloof in front of you, but turns around and smiles like a lovesick fool at another man.
And it's the same man!
It's still Gu Qing who rejected his birthday invitation!
Two enemies have gotten together!
"What a poor, run-down company! They can't even buy a trending topic to stay relevant!"
Principal Wang was furious when he saw this trending topic, which was only ranked eleventh.
He clicked on Ju Jingyi's blog.
as predicted,
The latest tweet I saw was Ju Jingyi's blessing for the successful completion of the New Year's Eve gala.
Wishing all my fans a happy new year, along with a few selfies.
In the photo, she is wearing a red performance outfit, with a sweet smile and exquisite makeup, looking like a beautiful porcelain doll.
And... besides the selfie, there's also a signed photo of Gu Qing.
This is the only time in her many years in the industry that a man has appeared in her picture, even though it's just a photo.
But the autographed photo was deliberately placed in the center of the picture, surrounded by her selfies.
Ju Jingyi also added a paragraph in parentheses at the end of the tweet:
"(I got Gu Qing's autograph! He's such a nice guy, he signed it for me himself, he's so down-to-earth, I'm so happy~.)"
The "happy" message was followed by an emoticon, a little person making a peace sign, which was incredibly cute.
But Principal Wang's blood pressure also exploded.
He stared at the autographed photo, at the emoticon, at the words, his eyes burning with rage that seemed to pierce the phone screen.
Damn it! Why should I?!
He invited Ju Jingyi to his birthday party, but she didn't come.
He liked her post, but she didn't reply.
He sent someone to invite her, but she declined.
then,
Gu Qing did nothing, didn't even know you, and you actually went up to him asking for an autograph?
Is it almost here?
And you're so happy to post it online?!
Principal Wang's face was frighteningly dark.
Without saying a word, he directly retweeted Ju Jingyi's post using his main account, along with a caption:
"Hehe, if he'd seen your previous photos, he wouldn't have signed it for you."
After the tweet was posted, Principal Wang smiled with satisfaction.
He leaned back in his chair, his fingers interlaced in front of his chest.
"Pretending to be innocent in front of me?"
"I bother!"
He spat, his eyes filled with disdain and malice.
Aren't you just pretending to be high and mighty?
Aren't you just pretending to be innocent?
Then I'll let Gu Qing know what you were like before!
Principal Wang refused to believe it.
After Gu Qing sees Ju Jingyi's old photos from netizens, will he still be in the mood to interact with her?
They'll probably regret it on the spot, wondering why they signed her name in the first place!
Thinking of this, Principal Wang laughed with delight.
