Chapter 92 The Actress Who Competes with a Newcomer for the Best Actor 38
Qi Zhao kept an eye on the online trends and was quite satisfied to see his name being mentioned frequently and his fan base growing significantly.
As for Ning Meng, he didn't care.
His choice of Ning Meng was made after careful consideration.
First of all, Ning Meng is a newcomer with no foundation or background, so she has nothing to fear even if she offends someone.
Secondly, she's stupid, lacks tact, and is easily fooled.
If it were a female celebrity who was a little wary or had a sense of boundaries and knew how to keep a proper distance from male celebrities, his plan would not have gone so smoothly.
In the end, Ning Meng overestimated her abilities and acted recklessly.
She was so eager to get close to Gu Zezhi that she made no attempt to hide it and acted without any restraint.
The film stars Gu and Lin were already very popular, and the Emperor and Empress CP suddenly became a hot topic. If Ning Meng wanted to interfere and become a third party, it would inevitably cause a big scandal sooner or later.
As Ning Meng's "boyfriend," he doesn't need to risk offending the top actors and actresses; he can indirectly ride on their popularity as a "victim."
Otherwise, Ning Meng, an overly straightforward newcomer who offends people without realizing it, even if her role in this drama is likable and she might become a minor celebrity after filming, it's destined not to last long.
Getting entangled with her wouldn't bring him much benefit, and he might even get implicated by her. Why would he go to such lengths?
Seeing that his fans were very worried about him, Qi Zhao did a live stream after finishing work that night in order to "reassure his fans".
During the live stream, he looked haggard and his eyes were dim. He clearly looked extremely upset, but he still forced himself to cheer up his fans and say that he was fine.
He never said a bad word about Ning Meng from beginning to end.
Seeing that the fans were hurling insults at Ning Meng too harshly, she stopped them and advised them not to get upset and harm their health, saying that since they had already broken up, she only hoped that they would both be well in the future.
Even passersby who came to join the fun thought he was really nice and had great manners.
Qi Zhao gained another wave of fans because of this live stream.
Yun Qing was also watching Qi Zhao's live stream, and it was clear that he had successfully climbed to the top by stepping on Ning Meng.
She couldn't help but think of the original plot, where Qi Zhao also tried to get close to Lin Yunqing. Was he also harboring the same purpose?
However, Lin Yunqing is a film queen, and she has no shortage of status, connections and fans. He certainly wouldn't dare to go too far. Perhaps he just wants to take the opportunity to create a scandal.
However, Lin Yunqing ignored him, so he had no choice but to give up in the end.
Because she was thinking about the novel's plot, Yun Qing stared at the screen in her hand for a long time without moving her eyes. Even when Gu Zezhi finished showering and walked to the bedside, she didn't get a single glance from him.
Gu Zezhi glanced at her phone screen, then asked quietly, "You're so engrossed in watching it, is he better looking than me, or is he a better actor?"
Yun Qing snapped out of her daze, glanced at him, and asked, "Have you found someone to replace Ning Meng?"
When Gu Zezhi told Director Zhang that he wanted Ning Meng to leave the crew, he promised to help him find a suitable person to replace Ning Meng.
Ning Meng is not serious about filming and keeps dragging her feet. She didn't film many scenes, so reshooting wouldn't be too much trouble. If a suitable actress can be found to replace her, it would be much better than keeping her on set to continue causing trouble.
Director Zhang had just run out of patience with Ning Meng, so he directly agreed to replace her.
Director Zhang has high standards for actors; they need to have solid acting skills and fit the role perfectly.
He wanted to create a stunning effect with Wen Linlang, this "white moonlight" character.
However, this character is just a minor supporting role with very little screen time.
For famous actors, it's a double-edged sword—tasteless to keep but a pity to throw away.
Originally, it wouldn't have been wrong to give Director Zhang face and make a good connection, but the female lead of this film is Lin Yunqing!
In the drama, Wen Linlang is the white moonlight of the princess, and the cinnabar mole of the princess.
When this show is released, the actors will inevitably be compared. What if they are completely outshone by Lin Yunqing?
Therefore, finding a suitable actress for the role of Wen Linlang will require some effort.
Gu Zezhi hummed in agreement and said, "Zhou Yi has found a suitable candidate and should be able to join the group soon."
Yun Qing didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing that Gu Zezhi was still staring at her, looking unhappy and waiting for her to coax him.
Yun Qing blinked, put down her phone, then hooked her fingers around the belt of his bathrobe, and with a little force, Gu Zezhi fell down.
Yun Qing cupped his face and gave him a kiss, "Teacher Gu, you need to have a proper understanding of yourself!"
Gu Zezhi pressed his forehead against hers and said, "I prefer things to be straightforward."
So Yun Qing bluntly said, "You're good-looking, and you're a good actor."
"anything else?"
Yun Qing looked at him sincerely and said, "It's perfect in every way!"
Gu Zezhi: ...Don't think that just because you look sincere, I can't tell you're slacking off.

After Ning Meng left the crew, things calmed down considerably.
Since Yun Qing no longer had to be distracted by the ambiguous relationship between Gu Zezhi and Ning Meng, as was the case in the original storyline, the filming of her scenes progressed much faster.
Since he already had fewer scenes than the male lead, Gu Zezhi, he naturally finished filming earlier than Gu Zezhi.
She has other work to do, and she will have to leave the production crew after filming wraps up.
Gu Zezhi was naturally very reluctant to part with her. On the day Yun Qing finished filming, he couldn't take his eyes off her all day long.
Even the most oblivious person would now realize what kind of relationship the two had.
Finally, even Director Zhang couldn't stand it anymore. After Yun Qing's scenes were finished, he waved to Gu Ze and said, "Alright, go with your wife! The remaining two scenes will be moved to tomorrow."
The two went to the food street. Yun Qing had a milk tea in one hand and a skewer of grilled meat in the other, with her mask hanging on her chin, and she looked down to eat the ice cream cone in Gu Zezhi's hand.
Gu Zezhi looked down at her, his eyes gentle, and sighed, "You're so greedy, don't let someone kidnap you."
Yun Qing looked up at his expression and said seriously, "Teacher Gu, don't overthink it. I'm very devoted."
Gu Zezhi took a bite of the ice cream cone in his hand, a smile appearing in his eyes. "I understand."
Yun Qing stared at the remaining pointed ice cream cone in silence.
Never mind, whatever makes you happy.
She took a sip of her milk tea and was about to eat the skewers in her hand when Gu Zezhi suddenly lowered his head, grabbed the straw, and took a sip, reducing her milk tea by a third.
Yun Qing: ...
She couldn't help but ask, "Are you very hungry?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zezhi glanced at her, his expression icy and crazed, "Look carefully at who ate your food! I want you to never forget me!"
Yun Qing: ? ? ?
Oh no! Has she led the gentlemanly actor Gu astray? What a terrible mistake!
Then she took a big bite of barbecue, suppressing her anger, and said hatefully, "I won't let you get away with this!"
Gu Zezhi grabbed her hand, took a bite of barbecue, and stared intently at her as if she were a trapped prey, full of interest. "Don't struggle in vain, you can't escape."
Fangfang and Yuanyuan, standing not far behind the two: ...
