Chapter 33: Gu Luojin, fully immersed in his role, and Nazha, bursting into tears.
To achieve the perfect effect for this scene, the production team even rented a bar.
"Attention everyone, filming begins for scene 320 of 'The Big Shot,' action!"
Police deployed a large number of plainclothes officers in the bar in order to find evidence that Zhao Tai was using drugs there.
Gu Luojin walked into the bar with a beautiful woman in his arms.
Plainclothes officer: "Attention all units, Zhao Tai is here."
He reached the steps, stopped, and waved towards the DJ booth in the distance.
DJ: "Everyone, tonight's entire bill is on Mr. Zhao! Let the screams begin..."
Upon entering the private room, Gu Luojin and her friend rolled up their sleeves, ready to engage in some reckless activities.
"Props team, prepare the cigarettes and hand them to Xiao Gu."
"Director Wu, let me do it."
Naza volunteered for the task, which caused director Wu Bai's facial expression to twitch.
The thought of Gu Luojin smoking the cigarette Nazha offered, then turning around to hit her, was just too ridiculous.
Hopefully, this scene won't create an irreparable rift between the two.
It's said that it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. If they really do separate, then he's guilty.
"Nazha, how about we find someone else?"
"Director, I won't mess up such a simple task."
"Alright, alright."
This was the first time he had ever seen someone so eager to be hit.
Under the watchful eyes of the crew, Nazha, the most beautiful actress on set, lit a cigarette and expertly handed it to him.
[This is what a true man should do. 】
Having long been accustomed to beautiful women offering him cigarettes, Gu Luojin didn't feel anything special.
What struck him the most was when Sister Meng lit a cigarette for him at the hotel that day.
Perhaps that day marked the end of their relationship, and the ordinary day was given special meaning, making it unforgettable and deeply etched in his memory.
"Chihara, look at how well Xiao Gu is treated. You have to hide from everyone just to smoke a cigarette."
"Director Wu, this is just me showing my love for my wife."
Wu Bai gave him a knowing look, implying that whether he loved his wife or was afraid of her depended entirely on his words.
"The toughest thing about you is your mouth."
"That's going too far, Director Wu."
……
"Smoke less, don't smoke too much."
Gu Luojin, already engrossed in his role, ignored Nazha's advice.
Take a deep breath, and a large amount of fresh air is revealed to everyone.
That one bite made him collapse onto the sofa, completely absorbed in the moment. The pleasure on his face and the slight trembling of his lips sent chills down the spines of the staff on set.
Holy crap, that expression, that acting! Tell me this is some kind of idol star acting? You could tell I'd believe it if you said he was a veteran actor.
[If I hadn't witnessed it myself, I probably wouldn't believe it was real inhalation.]
Gu Luojin's action after finishing her cigarette stunned Wang Qianyuan.
"Are all today's popular celebrities such good actors? Aren't they supposed to be dull and wooden in their acting?"
"Who is spreading this rumor? Damn it, are they taking advantage of me because I'm an old person and don't use the internet?"
From their very first scene together until now, he thought he had grasped the upper limit of Gu Luojin's acting skills.
Now tell him that this is not Gu Luojin's limit; his limit is probably far greater than this.
Wang Qianyuan was momentarily dazed. Had he been the one giving in to Gu Luojin all this time, or had Gu Luojin been saving face for him as a senior?
It seems we can't hold back when dealing with popular celebrities anymore, or we might lose our jobs in the industry.
Gu Luojin is a kind and honest person. He didn't resort to any underhanded tactics or release the footage of the two of them acting together.
But he couldn't guarantee the character of the next young star. If he lacked sportsmanship, he would become a stepping stone for others to climb the ladder.
Even the deepest abyss has a bottom, but the human heart is the most unpredictable.
Human nature cannot withstand testing.
The most important thing when filming is to be in character. Seeing that Gu Luojin was in character, Director Wu held up his index finger to signal everyone to be quiet and not disturb him.
"The others continue filming their next scenes."
Naza walked slowly downstairs, but was stopped outside by bodyguards.
"Miss Luo, you can't go in."
Naza shouted, "Get out of the way!"
"Miss Luo, it really won't work. Chairman Zhao has given the order." The bodyguard tried his best to persuade her.
"Get out of my way." Naza tried to break through the bodyguards' obstruction.
The argument downstairs caught the attention of those upstairs.
Wang Xu, who plays Cui Jingmin, reports to Zhao Tai above him: "Miss Luo has arrived."
Gu Luojin slowly recovered and tidied herself up.
Naza, who was downstairs, saw that the bodyguard was blind and slapped him across the face.
"Don't you recognize me? I'm Zhao Tai's man, get lost."
Seeing that the bodyguards dared not stop her, Naza rushed upstairs to a private room.
She started cursing as soon as she entered the door, which annoyed Gu Luojin, who was still enjoying herself.
"Zhao Tai, what the hell do you mean? I've been serving you like a dog, and you actually think I'm a dog?"
"They won't answer my calls, and they even canceled my endorsement deal. They're trying to just walk away."
Naza, in a moment of recklessness, threw her handbag at Gu Luojin, who was enjoying himself, and waited for Gu Luojin's explanation.
Gu Luojin straightened her shirt collar and stood up silently.
Under Nazha's incredulous gaze, a resounding slap landed on her beautiful face.
He slapped her to the ground, and Naza covered her sore mouth as she lay on the ground.
[Aren't most fights fake? This is real!]
Even if they're a couple, wouldn't the person being hit get really angry if they hit each other like that?
The director and Gu Luojin had informed her of this plot beforehand, but when the slap landed on her face, it really hurt, it really hurt, and her heart really ached.
It was as if the two weren't filming a movie, but rather experiencing a real-life conflict between them.
Gulnazar was clearly immersed in the role, identifying herself with the character Luo Qian, the female celebrity who was abused by Zhao Tai in the drama.
Gu Luojin calmly uttered the words that chilled Nazha to the bone: "Because you're just a dog."
His words were hard for Nazha to believe; Gu Luojin viewed her in this way.
Gu Luojin's eyes were calm, yet chilling, making people afraid to look directly at him: "Come on, wiggle your butt and wag your tail for me to see."
Realizing she had made a mistake, Naza adopted a softer approach, appealing to Gu Luojin's emotions and begging for forgiveness.
"Zhao Tai, I've spent so much time with you, accompanying this person and that person, how could you treat me like this?"
Already impatient, Gu Luojin grabbed her neck with one hand and her resisting arm with the other, pinning her firmly against the wall.
Gu Luojin said with a ferocious expression, "What's wrong? You're not happy about serving others?"
"I haven't even asked you yet? Do you feel more comfortable serving others, or serving me?"
"Zhao Tai, you're not human."
Naza fought back and, in the process of breaking free, slapped Gu Luojin hard across the face.
He didn't feel any pain; instead, he was even more annoyed that Nazha dared to defy him.
Sun Dasheng relentlessly pursued him, and his subordinate Cui Jingmin's incompetence prevented him from gaining his father's approval and reclaiming his inheritance from his elder brother.
He finally managed to relax at a bar, only to be humiliated by the female celebrity he was supporting.
All the things that had accumulated throughout the day caused his emotions to completely erupt at this moment.
Gu Luojin covered her face and let out a chilling laugh.
This beautiful woman is about to be brutally destroyed; I can't bear to watch.
[You're the cinematographer, for crying out loud! Such great acting, and you can't capture it? You might as well go home and collect your ashes.]
After laughing, he grabbed Naza's hair, dragged her to the ground, and pulled her away.
"Director Wu, are you sure these two are a couple in the throes of new love, not a couple going through a cold war?"
"Oh no, Xiao Gu is getting too into character. I need to use the backup plan."
Wu Bai brought in several large crew members; only a strong man could hold back Gu Luojin, who had a six-pack.
"Watch my hand gestures. If the male lead makes any unsafe moves, rush up and grab him."
"clear?"
"Director, I understand."
This is most familiar to couples whose names are associated with KFC and McDonald's; it's called a safe word.
If he doesn't make any unsafe moves, he will continue filming the last violent scene.
Detective Sun Dasheng and Zhao Tai engage in a high-speed chase, a physical close-quarters fight, and a high-speed car chase on the street.
While the actor's mental state is important, completing the filming within the stipulated time is even more crucial, and he was being pushed along by the producer and the capitalists behind him.
Gu Luojin dragged Nazha to the glass table with his left hand and pressed her head on it.
Someone took out a gleaming silver syringe, preparing to inject it into her arm.
Naza knew exactly what was inside the syringe.
Once you've touched this, you can never leave it.
She pleaded, "Please, no, no."
Gu Luojin smiled calmly, his fierce face telling her that it was a little too late to beg for mercy now.
He raised his right hand high, as if to stab downwards.
None of the staff dared to look at this cruel scene of destroying flowers, and they all turned their heads away.
"Hurry up and get on it."
Several staff members rushed forward instantly, and seeing someone trying to stop her, Gu Luojin dropped the syringe in her hand.
Naza, who was beneath him, suddenly burst into tears. Her cries left the three of them staring at each other, stunned.
All of this was recorded by a camera.
Naza's assistant came up, hugged Naza, and comforted her.
"Sister, don't be afraid, it was just filming."
Naza knew it was filming, but she couldn't control her emotions.
The moment Gu Luojin raised the syringe, she felt as if she had fallen into an abyss, the fear of death engulfing her entire body.
Her body is still weak and she can't stand up.
The assistant was too small to lift Naza, so Gu Luojin stepped forward.
Naza had not yet recovered from her shock when she saw Gu Luojin walking towards her. Her body trembled uncontrollably, went limp, and shuddered.
"Please, don't come any closer, I'm so scared of you."
Gu Luojin was worried that his on-screen persona might frighten Nazha, which could affect their real-life relationship.
Director Wu patted him on the shoulder: "Gu, get ready for the next big scene."
Gu Luojin entrusted the task of taking care of Nazha to Xiaolu and her assistant.
"Brother Gu, you go ahead, I'll stay here."
He then followed the film crew to the next filming location.
……
"Xiaolu, assistant, please help me to a chair."
"Okay, sis."
The two men helped Naza sit down in a chair, one on each side.
Ugh, this mess has fallen on me again.
"Sis, you know that Brother Gu is an experiential artist, he didn't do it on purpose."
Naza remained silent.
"Actually, sis, Brother Gu isn't usually..."
Wang Lu was interrupted by Nazha before she could finish speaking.
"Xiaolu, I've been scolded. Let me calm down."
No one knows a daughter better than her mother, and no one knows an artist better than their long-term assistant.
"Brother Gu, it looks like your new girlfriend is going to be gone."
Meanwhile, Nazha's assistant took some time to tidy up the items Nazha had left in Gu Luojin's room and took them back to her own room.
