Chapter 649 - Vanity
In the Film City, a group of people were walking back and forth in a hurry. Not only due to heat, but also due to the director yelling at them to immediately change the props and the backdrop.
"You damn lousy people! Only thinking of pay but so lazy when it comes to work!" the director grumbled as he watched with a sneer the staff scurried back and forth while carrying the props.
Meanwhile, the makeup artists felt their wrists are sore from putting on powders and retouching the makeup of the actors. Worse, some of these actors are self-important and wanted the makeup artists to finish retouching their makeup first or style their hairs after they changed their clothes. There are also some who are complaining because the temperature is too hot and they had to wear thick clothes for this costume drama.
"Damn it! If you already know that you will feel hot and sweat heavily because it is summer, why still audition for a costume drama?!" one of the staff can't help but whisper to his friend after he heard one of the actors complaining.
"You are right. Just a traffic star, yet too arrogant! Hmph!" his friend nodded in agreement and frowned as they glared at the recently popular actor.
"I heard that this Ding Rui was dating a trainee in his company." Someone said .
"Really?!" the two staff members exclaimed in surprise.
That person nodded. "Yes. I heard that the Yuhua Entertainment is very optimistic about this trainee. Didn't she get popular last time during a variety show?" he said.
"Who is 'she'?" they curiously asked.
"Let me tell you – " the person said and the other two leaned in.
"EH?!" the two staff members exclaimed, before they hurriedly covered their mouths. "Her?! But, she suddenly disappeared… we thought that the Yuhua Entertainment 'buried' her. Some said that she committed a mistake that is why she was 'buried'…" they said with a pensive look on their faces.
"Hey! Director!" the producer called as he ran towards the director.
"What is it?" the director grumpily asked.
"Mr. Glenn's secretary called saying that Mr. Glenn is coming!" the producer said.
Everyone immediately froze when they heard the name 'Glenn'. "Crap!" the director loudly cursed. He raised his loudspeaker and yelled at all of them. "MOVE!" they told them.
Everyone immediately moved twice as fast as earlier. Who is Mr. Glenn? He is a famous business, Gu Lin! He is a nouveau rich businessman and single-handedly created his company! Everyone in the business circle wanted to get his good graces while everyone in the entertainment circle, men or women, wanted to climb his bed!
"Oh, my!" one of the actresses exclaimed and covered her mouth as she blushed after she heard that Gu Lin is coming.
Everyone turned to her and looked at her with a meaningful gaze. They heard that this woman has successfully climbed Gu Lin's bed, so they always greeted her in the set. Meanwhile, the other actresses looked at her with envious gazes. The actors, on the other hand, sneered. This is the life in the entertainment circle.
That actress who everyone is now looking at immediately ran to her dressing room to make herself even more presentable. One of the reasons why she became the female lead of this drama is due to Gu Lin. It seems that she is really special? They all thought. Unspoken rule should be a disgusting thing. After all, you are selling yourself in exchange of fame. But, as to why everyone wanted to do unspoken rule with Gu Lin and even be proud of it is because –
"Mr. Glenn!" everyone greeted after they saw someone came out of the car after the driver opened the door.
A pair of shining leather shoes first appeared in everyone's sight followed by a pair of long legs wrapped with an expensive black pants. Then, everyone felt they were blinded when the sunlight hit the platinum wristwatch on that jade wrist. Everyone held their breaths when they finally saw a devastatingly pale but handsome face.
He is Gu Lin, the youngest and famous businessman who grew up abroad and returned to his homeland bringing big waves not only in the business world but also the entertainment world! Who wouldn't want to do unspoken rule with him?! Not only is he rich, but he is also very handsome!
Little did they know that the actress who claimed to have successfully climbed this man's bed is actually now panicking in her dressing room. She is panicking because it was all lies of her secretary that she is special to Gu Lin!
"Mr. Glenn, good day!" the director greeted Gu Lin.
Gu Lin just nodded at him and entered the set to look around.
The director immediately followed behind Gu Lin. "Mr. Glenn is looking for someone?" he said.
The secretary standing beside the director rolled his eyes. Isn't it obvious that Mr. Glenn is looking for someone? He thought.
"Hello, Mr. Glenn!" one of the actresses greeted Gu Lin.
Everyone's gazes immediately fell on that actress. But, Gu Lin didn't even glance at her. What surprising is that this actress actually didn't feel embarrassed after being ignored!
The actress smiled as she glanced at one of the dressing rooms which the door opened. "Is Mr. Glenn looking for Xu Li?" she asked.
The secretary's brows knitted while Gu Lin finally looked at the actress. "Xu Li? Who is she?" Gu Lin asked.
Xu Li's face turned pale as a paper when she heard what the actress spoke. Then, she almost fainted on the spot when she heard what Gu Lin said. Her blood turned cold when everyone's gazes fell on her. It's over! She thought as her knees trembled in fear.
The secretary naturally isn't an idiot. He followed everyone's gaze and glared at this actress named 'Xu Li'. He actually is used to this kinds of matter since there are more than fifty people in a month that wanted to climb Gu Lin's bed. And forty-eight out of fifty of them claim that they have successfully climbed Gu Lin's bed.
The director's eyes widened in shock and veins can be seen on his head as he glared at Xu Li. Obviously, the director is just suppressing his anger. Everyone almost laughed had they not held themselves back because Gu Lin is still here.
"Director." Gu Lin's secretary called. "I hope that you properly scrutinize all the people in the crew since Mr. Glenn is investing for this drama. You don't want to tarnish Mr. Glenn's reputation, do you?" he asked and smiled which looked like harmless but actually is filled with warning.
The director's face turned pale and he immediately nodded. "Of course, of course! Some people really are scrupulous!" he said and glared at the assistant director.
The assistant director immediately moved to pull Xu Li back to her dressing room. They definitely will kill her agent! It already can be guessed that Xu Li will be kicked out of the crew tomorrow. As for Gu Lin, he ignored them and sat after his bodyguard placed a chair behind him.
"Yo! Gu Lin, you are here!" the male lead of the drama laughed when he saw Gu Lin.
Gu Lin looked at him. "Three minutes." He said. He means that he has waited for three minutes.
Everyone coldly sweated for this actor, Yu Yan. He has won the Best Newcomer Award and Best Supporting Actor. Now, he became a male lead to win the Best Actor award. Yu Yan is also popular, but they didn't expect that he actually knows Gu Lin!
Yu Yan was unfazed by Gu Lin's glare. He just grinned. "People count every drop of water while you count every second." He said and shook his head.
Everyone's eyes widened in shock as they looked at Yu Yan. He and Gu Lin are this close?! They thought as they looked at each other. Their expressions is of extreme gossip.
Gu Lin's secretary, An Kai, frowned at Yu Yan. Yu Yan noticed his expression and he smiled at him, but An Kai just sneered and looked away, ignoring him. "Pretentious." An Kai muttered, pissed.
"Gu Lin. This secretary of yours has an attitude, huh?" Yu Yan said as he looked at An Kai with his eyes filled with interest.
"He is competent." Gu Lin said. He meant that Yu Yan should back off and not try anything funny with An Kai.
Yu Yan just shrugged. "Just saying." He said and turned to the director and the staff. "Right. I heard you mention Xu Li?" he asked. "Right… she mentioned before that she has climbed your bed." He said.
"How can she?" An Kai sneered in disgust. "Mr. Glenn doesn't even know her. How dare she touch porcelain!" he said.
Everyone covered their mouths to gasp. As expected, that Xu Li isn't special! How dare she deceive them! But, what is more important is that… no one really has ever successfully climbed Gu Lin's bed!
