The filming time passed quickly. In mid-July, there was a charity party with great momentum. Lili notified Gu Xizhi to prepare for attending early in the morning, and the party was approaching in a blink of an eye.
Since the last time he tried that scam scene with Qu Xizhi, Gu Xizhi and Qu Xizhi have often auditioned before filming. There were some difficult scenes to grasp. After discussing, the two of them performed much better. At least Jiang Tu praised Gu Xizhi on the set more than once for a good condition. After being praised, he would probably be more passionate about his work. In short, as the absolute protagonist of this drama, Gu Xizhi devoted himself to filming only four hours of time for the charity party.
Because the schedule was too tight, Gu Xizhi flew to his destination at 6 o'clock in the evening. After getting off the plane, the organizer's staff came to pick him up. As soon as Gu Xizhi got on the bus, the young female staff member said to Gu Xizhi, "Hello Miss Gu, I'll arrange for you and Miss Qu Xizhi to walk the red carpet with Mr. Lu Tianyi tonight. The other two have confirmed that there is no problem, and you should have no problem either, right?"
Gu Xizhi's mouth moved and forced himself to laugh, "Of course not."
The young female staff member immediately said, "Thank you Ms. Gu for letting me win the bet. My colleague bet you won't walk the red carpet with Ms. Qu."
"How could that happen?" Gu Xizhi tried hard to make his smile look sweet and real, "Ms. Qu and I are good partners."
Facts prove that speaking against one's conscience will be retribution. Although the relationship with Qu Xizhi has indeed eased recently, anything that others will compare with Qu Xizhi may be what she hates.
Gu Xizhi made a curly hairstyle with side combed hair for the party. The natural fluffy curls complemented the exotic green lace small print V-neck backless skirt. However, when a person looks good but is not paid attention to his own dress and is always asked about other people's affairs, Gu Xizhi's face once again hurts.
"Miss Gu Xizhi, there is a definite news that the substitution of the second female lead before "Wangchuan" you are filming involves politics. What do you think?"
"Miss Gu, why did Miss Lin Mingling film for a second female lead? And, are Miss Qu Xizhi and Miss Lin Mingling really having family friendship?"
"Ms. Gu, people in the circle have always speculated that Miss Qu Xizhi's boyfriend is Mr. Ning Qiu, who made him famous in one hand. What do you think?"
...
The messy questions were pointed at Gu Xizhi when he walked out of the car. Gu Xizhi couldn't answer them or answer them. He could only walk towards the red carpet area under the staff's opening road as if he hadn't heard a smile.
As a grand charity party supported by policy, in addition to entertainment stars, there were many wealthy businessmen and wealthy businessmen. When Gu Xizhi came to the red carpet preparation area, he saw Qu Xizhi wearing a black evening dress. Although her clothing design style was simple and well-normal, the light and swinging waistline of the clothing itself was still very eye-catching when she was wearing such a perfect proportion of her body. Because of the need to walk the red carpet together, Gu Xizhi took a few steps towards her after seeing her. However, when she was still a part of her way, a cold figure appeared beside Qu Xizhi. Because Ning Qiu's own cold temperament was extremely obvious, Gu Xizhi just saw his back and confirmed that this person was him. Seeing Ning Qiu and Qu Xizhi lowered their heads and whispered, Gu Xizhi stopped and did not want to disturb her rashly. At this time, he patted his shoulders. Gu Xizhi turned around and saw Liang Youyou who had already left the crew after soy sauce.
As soon as he saw Gu Xizhi, Liang Youyou said mysteriously, "A news, there is one item auctioned tonight that your cousin wanted a year ago. I will do my best to help you shoot the flower wedding costumes of the actress Miss Dong Qingqing in "Qingsha".
Gu Xizhi was stunned for a moment, and then he was quite moved after the reaction arc was completed, "I knew that there would always be a reliable day to make friends like you."
Liang Youyou glanced at her and ran to the side to talk to the beauty.
The charity party officially started at 8 o'clock. Gu Xizhi walked on the red carpet with Qu Xizhi and the second male lead Lu Tianyi, who was on the same crew, and promoted the TV series in the interview area. Since the organizer arranged seats, Gu Xizhi was separated from Qu Xizhi after entering the venue. The seat at the party happened to be Tang Yu, a male artist from the same company. Gu Xizhi was surprised when he saw him, "Mr. Tang Yu, such a coincidence."
Tang Yu was wearing a simple black shirt and his tall figure made many actresses have to raise their heads and talk to him.
"Unfortunately." His pupils were pitch black and his smile was calm. "I specially asked the organizer to arrange to sit with you."
Qu Xizhi sat down at the venue. When he looked up, his eyes just glanced over Tang Yu, who was sitting beside Gu Xizhi, chatting and laughing. At this time, Ning Qiu, who was sitting beside her, gave Qu Xizhi the album of the auction items, and said slowly, "If you want something, please tell me."
Qu Xizhi didn't even look at the album, and his eyes locked on Tang Yu and did not leave.
The charity party was announced by the popular host. Because it was for charity, there was no too much flower to start directly entering the auction process. The costume that Gu Xizhi wanted was the sixth item of the party. After receiving the album of the lot, Gu Xizhi's eyes were lingering on the costume. Finally, the host announced that the sixth item was launched, half an hour after the auction began. As soon as the host announced that the filming began, Gu Xizhi immediately raised the sign in his hand.
The sharp-eyed male host saw Gu Xizhi holding up the sign and immediately said, "Miss Gu Xizhi, this item was provided by Miss Dong Qingqing, the three Golden and Bronze Queen. Its starting price is 30,000 yuan. What is your bid?"
There was no microphone off the court, and Gu Xizhi sat in the table and extended a "five" number to the camera, smiling and put down the bidding sign in his hand.
"Okay, Miss Gu Xizhi is willing to bid 50,000 yuan to get this item. Are there any guests present who offer higher prices than Miss Gu?"
After all, it is just a costume, which is different from the items such as jade pendants, calligraphy and paintings that have the significance of collecting and preserving value. Although Dong Qingqing was once a beautiful woman, the movie "Qingsha" is far less popular. Although those present knew that the costume had its artistic value, few were willing to pay more for it. The host had already started counting down, and Gu Xizhi also thought that this thing was already in his pocket, but just when Gu Xizhi was about to see the host drop the hammer, he raised a sign not far from him. Gu Xizhi looked carefully and found that the person holding the sign was not someone else but Ning Qiu sitting next to Qu Xizhi.
Seeing this, the host immediately asked, "Mr. Ning, you raised the sign. How much do you want to pay for this costume from Miss Dong Qingqing?"
Ning Qiu did not speak, but made a gesture. The host said in surprise after seeing it, "Mr. Ning Qiu wants to pay one million to shoot this costume?"
Ning Qiu still didn't say anything, just nodded slightly to the camera.
After this shot appeared on the big screen, the audience was quiet for a moment, but it quickly became very enthusiastic. Gu Xizhi received a text message at this time. When he opened it, he saw that it was Liang Youyou's name: Although I sympathize with your little sister, I want to help her, but when Ning Boss appeared, he couldn't stand it. I'm desperate!
Gu Xizhi put away his cell phone, and the heated discussion at the scene did not subside. He looked up at the big red wedding costume placed on the stage. Gu Xizhi thought of his little cousin.
This cousin is not obsessed with Dong Qingqing, but she only has a special liking for the "Qingsha" she filmed. A year ago, when she was hospitalized for leukemia, she calmly told Gu Xizhi that if she could wear the costume of Dong Qingqing in "Qingsha" when she got married, she would die without regrets. At that time, Gu Xizhi contacted Dong Qingqing, who had immigrated abroad, but the answer given by the other party was very affirmative, that is, this item would not be sold. Now, although she doesn't know why she took it out for auction, Gu Xizhi's idea was to take it back to her little cousin when she saw this thing.
The high price made Gu Xizhi hesitate. When he was in conflict, Tang Yu, who was sitting on his left, said, "If Miss Gu likes this costume, I will give it to Miss Gu."
Gu Xizhi was stunned. When he raised his head, he saw Tang Yu lifting the bidding sign and making a gesture in the direction of the host.
The host was probably a little surprised when he saw the gesture he made. He paused and said, "Mr. Tang Yu, do you want to bid for two million yuan?"
At this time, the camera was aimed at Tang Yu. On the big screen, Tang Yu looked very gentlemanly and elegant in a black shirt. He nodded to the host, and then put down the bidding sign.
"Okay, Mr. Tang Yu is going to bid for Ms. Dong Qingqing's costume for two million. Is there anyone willing to pay a higher price?" The auction site that had been like a stagnant water before seemed to be getting more and more lively. As soon as the host finished speaking, he talked. In a slightly noisy environment, Ning Qiu raised the sign again and signaled the number of three million to the camera.
This move undoubtedly pushed the atmosphere on the scene to another **. Faced with this rhythm of one million plus one million, Gu Xizhi was very unbearable and hurriedly said to Tang Yu, "Mr. Tang Yu, forget it, this thing is not that important to me, so I will give it to Mr. Ning Qiu."
Tang Yuxiao did not answer and directly raised the sign in his hand.
"Five million! Mr. Tang Yu is going to bid for 5 million. Are there any guests present willing to pay a higher price?"
Almost as soon as the host finished speaking, Ning Qiu raised the sign again. The host heard the quotation from the staff in the headphones and said in a sonorous voice, "Seven million! Seven million! Mr. Ning Qiu is willing to pay a price of seven million. Is there anyone at the scene offering a higher price?"
This situation was something Gu Xizhi never thought of. Although it was a charity event that was originally for the purpose of donating money, the price of 7 million was far exceeding the previous lot and became too special.
"Mr. Tang Yu." Gu Xizhi looked at Tang Yu seriously, "I really thank you for your actions, but I won't ask for something that has cost you so much, even if I give it to me, so I'd better not fight for it."
"It doesn't matter." Tang Yu said gently, "I'm glad that this money can be donated to charity."
The conversation between the two turned into whispers in the camera, and Gu Xizhi and Tang Yu were talking on the big screen, and because Tang Yu had just raised the sign, they kept locking the two. Such a picture was related to Gu Xizhi's previous move to hold the sign. Many people have speculated that Tang Yu bid for this costume just to make the beauty smile. After all, it doesn't make much sense for Tang Yu as a man to have a costume worn by a woman.
The picture in the camera has been staying for too long. Qu Xizhi glanced at the big screen and said to Zhao Ling, the director of Huayu International, beside him, "Didn't you say that Tang Yu had already given up on chasing Xiao Jing last time?"
Zhao Ling glanced at the directions of Tang Yu and Gu Xizhi and said lightly, "Tang Yu is about to terminate the contract, I can't control him."
While speaking, the audience once again set off a craze. Tang Yu in the big screen raised the bidding sign. The host looked at his gesture in a very enthusiastic tone and said, "888,000, Mr. Tang Yu is willing to bid for 888,000 yuan. Is there anyone who is willing to bid higher?"
When things have developed to this point, everyone is already very clear about the purpose of Tang Yu's auction. Even if he was originally willing to join in the fun, he was embarrassed to ruin other people's good things. This time, no one has any movement in the venue for a long time. The host waited for a moment and began to pick up the auction pounding.
“Eight hundred,888,000 once.”
"Eight hundred,880,000 twice!"
"Eight hundred,888,000 three..."
Before the last sentence was finished, the bidding sign was raised again off the court. When the audience was looking for this person, the camera was aimed at Qu Xizhi. The assistant standing behind her reported the numbers to the staff. The numbers were quickly transmitted to the host's ears through the headphones. The host was excited when he heard the numbers, and his voice was obviously even louder. "It seems that Miss Qu Xizhi is also very interested in the costume worn by the queen of the film. Miss Qu Xizhi is willing to bid for 10 million yuan. Is there any higher?"
There was an uproar in the off-season and the discussion continued.
"Where is the best place for this dress? What are they fighting for?"
"Actually, it's Gu Xizhi who really wants this thing? Tang Yu knew he was showing his kindness at a glance. But I heard that Gu Xizhi and Qu Xizhi had a little eased during filming. Why would he fight with Gu Xizhi now and get angry?"
"Ning Qiu and Qu Xizhi have a different relationship. Ning Qiu wants this and it is difficult for him to compete with a male star. Qu Xizhi will ease up a lot when he comes forward."
The sound of a mess of discussion appeared at the venue. Gu Xizhi looked at Qu Xizhi on the big screen and immediately said to Tang Yu, "Mr. Tang Yu, forget it, I really don't want this costume. Don't argue with them. They are both people who use money as paper. There is no need to compete with them."
Tang Yu signaled Gu Xizhi to be calm and then raised the bidding sign, which was in a strong contrast with the host's warm tone when he reported "12 million" in the audience.
At this point, the atmosphere on the court was no longer warm but strange. After Tang Yu finished the quotation, almost everyone turned their attention to Qu Xizhi. It was obvious that Qu Xizhi did not disappoint anyone. Tang Yu just finished raising the sign and Qu Xizhi raised the bidding sign again.
This time, the staff had already been waiting for her to bid by her side. After hearing her report the numbers, they immediately reported the numbers to the host through their headphones. The host was stunned again after hearing the numbers, and then said in a still enthusiastic voice, "Ms. Qu Xizhi is willing to bid 18.888 million yuan to get this bid. Do you all present have higher bids?"
Having said that, the host's eyes turned straight towards Gu Xizhi and Tang Yu. When Tang Yu's hand was about to raise it to touch the bidding sign, Gu Xizhi's hand placed under the table held his hand tightly, and smiled and shook his head in the close-up that followed.
The actors have a way to make countless private scenes light and light. Gu Xizhi smiled and faced the camera very elegantly and calmly, making it difficult to find the true mood under the smile. Seeing that Gu Xizhi had no intention of continuing to offer, the host picked up the auction beat and said suspensefully, "One,888,000 every time."
"One,88,800,000 twice!"
"Congratulations to Miss Qu Xizhi for winning the actress queen Dong Qingqing in the film "Qingsha" three times!"
With a final say, a wonderful bidding ended. The host asked Qu Xizhi to take the stage to take a photo with the items and make a charity remark. Gu Xizhi looked at Qu Xizhi, shrouded in stars, and picked up his bag and stood up from the table and left the venue.
The agent Lili was frightened when she saw Gu Xizhi leaving and immediately stopped her from the red carpet where she entered the venue. "Xiao Jing, didn't you agree to the organizer to attend the party? In this way, the organizer will have opinions on the temporary walk."
Gu Xizhili ignored her and kept walking outside the venue with a gloomy expression.
The venue of the charity party was arranged on the top floor of the hotel. After Gu Xizhi walked out of the venue, he pressed the elevator directly. During the long wait, Lili kept persuading her, "Xiao Jing, the plane is two hours later, it doesn't make sense for you to leave now!"
Gu Xizhi just looked at the elevator button and waited patiently, not saying anything about Lili's words.
Lili knew that this was an angry rhythm and was thinking about how to save the situation. When she looked up, she saw the tall and slender Qu Xizhi coming out of the venue in a black evening dress and her eyes lit up, "Miss Qu, you are here just right. Please keep Xiaojing, otherwise Director Zhao will scold me to death."
When Gu Xizhi heard the three words "Miss Qu", he didn't even wait for the elevator, so he simply walked straight to the corridor. Qu Xizhi watched Gu Xizhi walk towards the corridor and immediately chased her.
Both of them were wearing high heels, and they were not fast facing the marble floor of the hotel. Qu Xizhi, who had a stronger ability to control high heels, caught up with Gu Xizhi and grabbed her hand and stopped him, "Xiao Jing, the party is not over yet, where are you going?"
Gu Xizhi shook off her hand and said impatiently, "Miss Qu Xizhi, please find out, at most I am just a cooperative relationship with you, and you don't need to take care of where you go."
Qu Xizhi was stunned for a moment, and then said calmly, "Okay, I won't ask where you are going, but the party is only halfway through. Now you are gone and being photographed by the media will make a big fuss. From your own interests, I think you should stay for a while."
"Stay for a while?" Gu Xizhi slowly raised his head and looked at her, his dark red lips curled up with a sarcastic smile, "Will you wait and see you and your Mr. Ning Qiu continue to work together to grab other people's lots?"
"Xiao Jing." Qu Xizhi said seriously, "It's not what you think, Ning Qiu and I are just..."
"I don't want to care about you and him at all." Gu Xizhi interrupted her, "Do you know that the item I want is useful? Although everyone has fair competition for the same item, I have already raised the brand. If it weren't for a particularly important demand, I thought you would consider that everyone gave me things to me in the same company's favor, but not only did you not press on step by step. Yes, I admit that comparing more money with you will make others laugh so hard that their stomachs hurt, but can you bully others like this with money?"
"Xiao Jing, calm down." Qu Xizhi explained, "I went to shoot that costume for nothing. I just didn't want Tang Yu to take that thing down and give it to you."
"Enough Qu Xizhi, how can Tang Yu let you, a super first-tier star, target him specifically. In the past, I never believed you when everyone said you had a problem with Ning Qiu, but I completely believed it after today. I still want to believe that you came to film with me and really wanted to be friends with me. I am so stupid that I believe what you said. You are no different from before, and you like to steal my things and like to take everything I care about. You are not only annoying, damn, it's simply disgusting!"
All the criticism was like a fine and invisible needle inserted silently into the listener's heart. Gu Xizhi was overwhelmed by the uncontrollable anger. It seemed that it would be much more comfortable to say these bad words, but after she said it, she regretted it.
After seeing Qu Xizhi's surprised expression, Gu Xizhi suddenly thought that she was almost hit by the camera while filming on the crew a few days ago. Qu Xizhi protected her behind her and was not injured.
Everything she has done over the past year has been trying hard to ease their relationship. Except for this inexplicable today, if she has to say that she hates, it is abominable, then the others around her are simply undesirable.
The condemnation of conscience made Gu Xizhi speak again, "I..."
Before he finished his apology, his lips were suddenly kissed. Gu Xizhi had no way of understanding what was going on in the first two seconds. When he understood what was going on, his shoulders were already hugged by her.
Chapter completed!
