Chapter 1177: Offering 50 Million USD for Gu Qingcheng’s Head
Overwhelmingly beautiful, exquisite, ethereal… such adjectives weren’t adequate for describing the present Yun Liuli. Like the purest and most n.o.ble fairy in an ancient forest, despite her red-colored eyes, they didn’t affect her purity. In contrast, it made her eyes appear all the more deep and bright, like a star-filled sky!
She wore bangles that had mysterious and ancient symbols carved into them, like a seal of some sort.
Director Liu waved at the child actor playing a child version of Fu Tianci, and the six-year-old little actor dressed in rags bounced over to him.
The little boy who had makeup on to make him look filthy appeared a little embarra.s.sed as he raised his head and whispered to Yun Liuli, “Sister… you’re really pretty!”
Yun Liuli had no resistance towards little kids, but she was afraid she might mess up the little fellow’s styling if she stroked his head, so she smiled at him instead.
“It’s like this. Xiao Guai, in the scene, you lose your way in the forest and stumble your way here, where you see Sister Liuli, who is asleep on the throne. When you try feeding Sister Liuli water, you discover her fangs, and you use your little hand to touch them. When your fingers touch her fangs, you need to pretend your fingers are bleeding. Liuli, the child will touch your fake teeth, and when you taste blood, your fangs will appear in full. Someone will come and help you put on longer fangs.”
Yun Liuli nodded.
“Xiao Guai, you push your sleeves up higher, cut your wrist, and extend your arm to Sister Liuli for her to suck your blood… The knife is a prop, so don’t be scared, okay?”
The little one puffed up and patted his chest. “Uncle Director Liu, don’t worry. I’m experienced!”
Director Liu nodded, rea.s.sured.
Filming started. Although Xiao Guai was young, he was an experienced actor. After his scenes were shot successfully, next up was the grown Fu Tianci.
After all of the scenes of Yun Liuli were filmed, Director Liu stood outside the studio and lit a cigarette, his mind replaying the filming process. The instant that Yun Liuli opened her eyes, her devilish red eyes looked so pretty it made one’s heart quiver! He felt that underneath Yun Liuli’s curly eyelashes, her eyes appeared seductive like a resplendent flower in full bloom.
Fang Yan had said that Yun Liuli was new to this business and didn’t have any acting skills. Although Director Hu did feel that she wasn’t quite there yet, he felt that Yun Liuli’s performance was rather interesting.
Only Fu Tianci’s scenes were left. Yun Liuli didn’t stay to watch, as it was time for her to attend her acting cla.s.s. Yun Liuli bade everyone farewell and then promptly left.
After Director Liu came back from smoking, he said to Fu Tianci, “That girl Liuli acted rather well. Although you’re a singer… you can’t fumble the ball!”
“Got it, got it!” Fu Tianci pried away the hand Director Liu placed on his shoulder in frustration.
“Fake Aristocrat” was the last MV in Fu Tianci’s alb.u.m. Since it was his featured track, Director Liu viewed this with great importance. That night… Director Liu and his entourage reached England with Fu Tianci to film the last scene in the field.
On the day filming wrapped up for the MV and editing started, it was the day exam results came out.
Yun Liuli wasn’t interested in the results, but Guan Nina came out excitedly to tell Yun Liuli the good news. “Liuli, Liuli, you’re number one again!”
“Mm!” Yun Liuli was holding a small mirror and was rehearsing her expression before the mirror.
The students in the cla.s.sroom felt that the G.o.d of studies was too narcissistic. Although she was indeed good-looking, there wasn’t a need for her to hold up a mirror and admire her reflection 24/7!
“Do you know who number two is?” Guan Nina’s voice was filled with delight.
“You?” Yun Liuli asked without looking up.
“If I were so smart, my parents would give me anything I want!” Guan Nina sat down beside Yun Liuli and secretly glanced at Zhou Yuchen, who was also seated next to Yun Liuli, looking as if he didn’t care about anything. “It’s Zhou Yuchen! Zhou Yuchen… you’re number two!”
This surprised Yun Liuli.
Yun Liuli turned and looked at Zhou Yuchen. Zhou Yuchen said with a slight smile, “Mm, in the past, I only casually answered one or two questions, but I have the goal of catching up to you now.”
Yun Liuli nodded and encouraged Zhou Yuchen, “Then continue working hard! Strive to win next time!”
“Okay!” Zhou Yuchen gazed at Yun Liuli with a smile that was as gentle and beautiful as the morning suns.h.i.+ne, looking as if he had found his direction in life.
“Liuli, are you really going to enter the entertainment industry?”
Guan Nina had asked Yun Liuli this countless times.
“Mm, I think it’s really interesting!” Yun Liuli continued practicing her expressions before the mirror.
Differing from dry text, performing… really piqued Yun Liuli’s interest.
She was even looking forward to seeing the post-editing version of the “Fake Aristocrat” MV. She was eager to see how her performance was.
Guan Nina said, “heh heh”, then directly handed her notebook and pen to Yun Liuli. “Then, before you become famous, give me your signature. This way, this notebook of mine will be worth plenty of money in the future!”
…
Gu Qingcheng learned that Yun Liuli started adapting to life without him. Over on his side, he had formally started going at it with Cen Mo because of disagreements in business, and it could be said that they parted on ugly terms.
Everyone knew about Cen Mo’s temper. He was capable, and he had a fiery temper. After threatening Gu Qingcheng, he turned and left.
But since Gu Qingcheng had many elite teams under him, everyone felt like there wasn’t any fun to watch.
Who knew that the conflict between Cen Mo and Gu Qingcheng would develop further, to the point it was getting out of hand. When the two of them b.u.mped into each other at the airport… although both were smiling, it was clear they were ready to jump at each other’s throats.
Especially right before Gu Qingcheng left with his own men, as he brushed shoulders with Cen Mo. Those present that day would still feel their scalps turning numb when they recalled the dark gaze in Cen Mo’s eyes the instant he turned around.
One of Gu Qingcheng’s subordinates suggested that Gu Qingcheng send two teams over to protect his safety, but Gu Qingcheng looked down upon Cen Mo, saying he was an arrogant and vile person and that he wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.
It was only when Cen Mo used a low cost to rob Gu Qingcheng of a business line that Gu Qingcheng’s subordinates grew angry.
All these years, Gu Qingcheng had used ruthless, extreme, and even cruel tactics. Based on his style, his subordinates guessed Gu Qingcheng’s intention and sent a team to a.s.sa.s.sinate Cen Mo.
Regarding the a.s.sa.s.sination of Cen Mo, because he was caught off guard, he did suffer some minor injuries, but thankfully, Gu Qingcheng discovered in time and retracted his men.
After Fu Huai’an explained things to Cen Mo, Cen Mo believed him. After all… Gu Qingcheng wasn’t an imbecile. Cen Mo was the person helping Gu Qingcheng regain his freedom, so there wasn’t a reason for Gu Qingcheng to deviate from their plans and a.s.sa.s.sinate him!
Cen Mo played along. On the third day after getting injured, he let out news that he was offering 50 million USD for Gu Qingcheng’s head.
One Gu Qingcheng, one Cen Mo…
