Never Meeting Again In Our Next Life (Living Life Over) - Volume 2 (35)
Chapter 35 Scandal
At this time, Li Mo had just finished filming his scene and returned to the dressing room when he saw two plainclothes bodyguards standing respectfully outside the door of the dressing room, nodding to him politely.
Li Mo returned the favor with a smile. Since the opening ceremony of the film crew, these two bodyguards have appeared on the set, saying that they were sent by Xia Liang to protect him.
To be honest, Li Mo couldn’t quite understand Xia Liang’s overprotectiveness toward him. He always felt that it was a bit like a symptom of persecutory delusion. However, considering that the Xia brothers had been overprotected by their grandmother since they were young, Xia Liang grew up under the influence of his grandma, maybe Xia Liang has been influenced by his grandma in a subtle way.
Li Mo is a person with a soft personality. Although he is not used to being followed closely by others, he cannot bear to reject their kindness directly. At the moment, he just politely keeps a safe distance from the two bodyguards without disturbing each other.
So more than a month has passed since the filming started, and the two parties still maintain an estranged relationship of acquaintances.
When Li Mo passed the bodyguard and approached the dressing room, he found that there was no one inside.
Ji Qin left the scene earlier than him. The two had originally arranged to go shopping at a nearby snack street after filming. Li Mo thought Ji Qin would be waiting for him in the dressing room, but he did not expect to see Ji Qin when he came in. Qin’s figure.
He turned around and asked the two bodyguards standing outside the door: “Excuse me, have you seen Ji Qin?”
”Mr. Ji?” One of them thought for a while and said, “I saw him going to the other side of the corridor before, maybe he went to the bathroom.”
Li Mo nodded and returned to the dressing room. While taking off his wig, he sent Ji Qin a WeChat message: [Where is it? 】
There was no immediate reply.
Li Mo didn’t pay attention. He turned around and looked for his clothes, but couldn’t find them. Then he remembered that he had left them with the venue attendant when he changed into costumes.
Thinking that the field staff were still busy in the studio, Li Mo was too embarrassed to run back to him now to ask for clothes, so he simply sat on the sofa and scrolled through Weibo while waiting for Ji Qin to come back.
His own Weibo account was deleted four years ago when he left the country. Although he created a small account after that, it was only used for occasional Weibo browsing and he did not post any information in it.
When the filming of this drama started, as Ji Qin’s legendary “Er Qin Sister-in-law”, he was somewhat famous in the other party’s fan circle. Many fans were asking about Li Mo’s Weibo account, but they kept looking for it. There is no clue about Li Mo.
Ji Qin had repeatedly persuaded him to start a Weibo seriously, but Li Mo kept holding off. Facing those fans who loved him because of Ji Qin, he always felt that he was using a false C corpse. The guilt of deceiving the other person in the relationship makes me feel as if I am suffering from aphasia when I open my Weibo, not knowing what I can say to my fans.
But even so, it did not affect him in the slightest from viewing Ji Qin’s Weibo as a daily pastime.
Ji Qin updates Weibo very frequently, and basically posts things to it whenever he has free time. Sometimes it is a casual photo, sometimes it is a few words from Fu Zhixin, and the content is often full of unconstrained and nonsensical style.
Every time Li Mo reads his Weibo and sees the interactions between fans on his Weibo, he can’t help but laugh out loud – he has to admit that he is actually a little envious of Ji Qin.
After scrolling through Ji Qin’s Weibo, he casually returned to the homepage of Weibo, where he was inadvertently caught by a familiar name on the trending search – “Gu Yuexuan’s new drama was caught as a stunt double throughout the whole episode.”
He clicked on it out of curiosity and found out that one of Gu Yuexuan’s antis had sneaked into the set disguised as a crew member and secretly filmed some of the scenes shot by Gu Yuexuan’s literary and military substitutes, and then edited them into videos and uploaded them to the Internet. , and was forwarded by several marketing accounts at the same time, quickly attracting the attention of the public.
Li Mo remembered that the director brother Ji Qin had indeed called Ji Qin to complain about Gu Yuexuan’s use of a stand-in throughout the whole process, but because the contract did not have any legal restrictions on the actor’s use of a stand-in, and their situation The drama also wants to use Gu Yuexuan’s traffic to attract fans’ attention, so now the entire crew dares to be angry but dare not speak out.
In fact, it is not uncommon for actors to occasionally use body doubles, but for someone like Gu Yuexuan to use body doubles for all but a few close-ups, it is indeed a bit excessive.
What’s more, because of Gu Yuexuan’s status as the actor, everyone will look at him more harshly; in addition, his fans will always brag about his acting skills and professionalism wherever he goes. At this time, he used The inside story of the substitute undoubtedly slapped his fans in the face.
The die-hard fans are fighting fiercely to maintain his dignity, and at the same time they are eagerly expecting Gu Yuexuan to come out and give everyone an explanation. However, three days have passed since the incident was exposed, and Gu Yuexuan has not responded in any way. get through this.
On the contrary, it was his agent who, in the name of the studio, explained the reason why Gu Yuexuan used a body double – it was simply because he was not feeling well and did not want to delay the filming progress of the crew, so he had no choice but to temporarily let the body double act for a while; at the same time, he also guaranteed After Gu Yuexuan recovers, he will immediately return to the set to resume normal filming.
This reason was too hastily and palely made up, and of course it would not hold up in front of the keen-eyed public. Only his fans still clung to this piece of duckweed and tried their best to defend him. Even Li Mo couldn’t see the powerlessness. I couldn’t help but feel a little distressed.
But what makes Li Mo even more puzzling is that with Gu Yuexuan’s character, he should have made a counterattack long ago. Why is there still no news after three days? What on earth was he thinking?
It took almost half an hour to scroll through Weibo. When Li Mo suddenly came to his senses, he realized that Ji Qin seemed to have gone to the bathroom for too long.
He checked WeChat, but there was still no reply from the other party. After thinking for a moment, he dialed Ji Qin’s phone number.
After a few beeps, the call was connected.
Li Mo asked: “Ji Qin, where are you?”
”Li Mo.” A cold and familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
Li Mo’s heart skipped a beat, Gu Yuexuan?
He subconsciously looked at the outgoing caller ID and saw that it was indeed Ji Qin’s name.
After Li Mo’s heart beat wildly for a moment, he forced himself to calm down and said to the phone: “Gu Yuexuan, why is Ji Qin’s phone at your place? Where is Ji Qin?”
”Do you want to see him?” Gu Yuexuan’s voice sounded as cold as a poisonous snake. “If you want to see him, go to the place I designate and make an appointment. I will send you the address.”
He paused and continued: “I know you have bodyguards by your side, but I’m warning you, don’t try to play tricks on me. If you dare to bring a bodyguard with you, or secretly call the police… I can’t guarantee that you will take it directly.” Ji Qin vented his anger.”
