Chapter 64: Zhou Ye's Competitive Spirit
"What's wrong?"
The production company kept it a secret for so long.
"No, I just received this message suddenly, and I'm so excited."
"Then you'd better work on improving your acting skills. If you don't act well, you'll have to face criticism from the audience."
"Brother Gu, don't worry, I will definitely give it my best."
"By the way, you're not in Chongqing, I'm filming in Chongqing."
"Brother Gu, I can't be your tour guide this time. I've already gone back to Shanghai for my audition."
Gu Luojin planned to show Zhou Ye how a sweet girl can be charming, instead of constantly talking about pretty girls.
Since the person is no longer in Chongqing, there is no way to make a comparison, and we have lost a great opportunity to make Zhou Ye furious.
"Brother Gu, what bad thing are you planning to do to me now?"
Zhou Ye guessed his thoughts both times, and he realized he was being somewhat restrained.
Gu Luojin scrutinized her from head to toe like a human scanner, and Zhou Ye immediately puffed out her chest, exuding an air of "confidence shining through."
Gu Luojin said slowly, "Xiao Ye, let me tell you a joke."
"When Zhuge Liang couldn't find Liu Bei and Guan Yu, he saw Zhang Fei and asked him why?"
Why?
"Where did your brother go?"
Seeing that Zhou Ye didn't react immediately, Gu Luojin seized the opportunity and quickly made her escape.
After he walked away, Zhou Ye chased after him, shouting loudly.
"This senior and junior couple is really a pair of clowns on set; you can hear them bickering all the time."
"Director Zeng, weren't we like that when we were young? That's what youth is all about."
"Besides, isn't the film we made about the story of young people?"
……
Zhou Ye kept babbling as she caught up, but Gu Luojin covered her mouth.
"Be good, stop arguing, nod and I'll let go of you."
Zhou Ye nodded, and when Gu Luojin released her, she wanted to say something, but he covered her mouth again.
"Ugh... ugh..."
"I'll let go when you stop yelling."
Zhou Ye blinked her bright eyes, and Gu Luojin chose to trust her one more time, releasing his hand from her mouth.
"Brother Gu, I definitely have them, okay? And they're quite big."
Standing far away is a man's dignity, just as having a good figure is a woman's dignity.
When it comes to dignity, no one wants to admit their own shortcomings.
If you tell too many lies, you'll end up deceiving yourself.
It depends on what you're comparing it to. If you compare it to the rubber duck, then it is indeed big, as everyone knows the rubber duck is also famous for its unusual size.
Compared to Sister Meng and Tian Xiwei, this is not good enough.
He didn't want to hurt Zhou Ye's feelings, so he hesitated to speak.
"Tell me, who's older, me or Sister Meng?"
Chat logs between best friends can be explosive, and they can also inexplicably generate a competitive spirit.
"Sister Meng's is big."
I don't believe it.
Bass, huh? You still don't believe me? Typical argumentative personality.
If she doesn't believe it, so be it. There's no way to verify its authenticity unless...
As he was about to leave, Zhou Ye stopped him.
Her eyes were telling Gu Luojin: Let's go to a corner where nobody knows us and verify your true identity.
"That's not a good idea."
"I'm not afraid, why are you, a grown man, scared?"
It's not so much a matter of being afraid or not, but rather that it's truly, that kind of rare occurrence.
……
two minutes later
Gu Luojin failed to notice the cunning lurking beneath Zhou Ye's embarrassed expression.
……
Ten minutes later.
Zhou Ye reapplied lipstick to her lips and straightened her clothes.
"Whose is bigger?"
"Sister Meng's is big."
"Scumbag."
Zhou Ye, who had just taken two steps, turned back.
With gleaming eyes, a sly expression, and a teasing tone, he said, "Brother Gu, you don't want Sister Meng to know about what happened between us, do you?"
"?"
"I told you to give way, so why are you doing this? You have no self-control at all."
it is good!it is good!it is good!
The acting skills I just taught her were all used on her own people.
They're trying to trick him by mistaking him for a Japanese person.
"Besides, will Sister Meng believe you or me in the end?"
Since she wants to act, then I'll play along with her. That's how much I spoil her.
"Xiao Ye, you can't just abandon me like this."
"Brother Gu, it seems you don't want Sister Meng to know. If you don't want her to know, that makes things easier."
Easy to handle? He wanted to flip the table; he'd fallen for her trick.
Gu Luojin strongly suspected that Zhou Ye had already planned how to scheme against him from the very beginning of this game, starting with the joke.
If the occasion weren't so inappropriate, he would have lifted his shirt.
The conversations between the two were increasingly filled with the flavor of everyday life.
He had only seen this kind of plot in movies, such as not letting your husband lose his job or not letting your husband owe money.
Now it's the other way around: never let your ex-boyfriend and best friend be in the same film crew, and never let your best friend and ex-boyfriend become good friends.
"What do you want to do?"
"Brother Gu, she's a beautiful girl, how could she have bad intentions?"
"From now on, you must obey my orders and not disobey me, otherwise I will tell Sister Meng that you are bullying me."
That's it? Gu Luojin thought they were going to do something big. This is so unambitious.
"Fine, I'm on your side anyway, but don't go too far."
This thing gets better with practice, just like cheating—it's either zero or countless times.
……
"Brother Gu, I'm thirsty, I want some water."
"OK."
Gu Luojin got up and brought her a bottle of water.
"They didn't even know to open the bottle cap beforehand. This service is substandard. Deduct 2 points. Remember that."
"I've got it."
Zhou Ye experienced the joy of scoring.
Wang Lu rubbed her eyes, unable to bear the sight before her.
Has she somehow gotten hold of something? Zhou Ye, who has always been a follower, has now taken over as the master.
"I want to eat some snacks. Go get me some."
"Can."
"How about pickled chicken feet? They're a specialty of Chongqing."
"No, I want potato chips."
"Potato chips can make you gain weight."
"I can do it today."
Gu Luojin had made an opening for her in advance to make it easier for her to enjoy herself, so she couldn't possibly find fault with him for that.
Zhou Ye, however, remained completely still.
"Eat it, isn't this what you wanted?"
"Feed me, my hand got tired from being raised too high ten minutes ago, and I can't move it."
"OK."
Gu Luojin fed her piece by piece, making their intimate moment seem quite ambiguous, even in the crowded film crew.
Given their previous interactions, no one speculated much, assuming they simply had a good relationship.
It's time to put the RV on the agenda; otherwise, if we do something sneaky, the whole crew can see it, and we won't have any privacy.
……
Huang Xiaoya, who was standing to the side, was also very curious about the reversal in the relationship between the two. Zhou Ye, the second female lead, usually took Gu Luojin as her benchmark, but today she had turned the tables.
After feeding Nazha a few pills, Gu Luojin focused on asking her about her RV.
Zhou Ye had already obediently opened her mouth and waited, but the expected potato chips did not appear.
She paused for a moment, about to complain, when she turned her head and saw Gu Luojin focused on her work.
She swallowed back the complaint that was on the tip of her tongue, silently picked up the potato chips, and started crunching them down.
……
"So it turns out I'm not famous enough, otherwise the production team would have provided me with a motorhome."
However, the RVs provided by the film crew were of a different level, and none of them were as comfortable as the ones that were modified by themselves.
After much thought, he decided to buy one. He would use his own RV for short trips and have the film crew provide him with an RV for longer trips.
I bought it without hesitation.
"Xiao Ye, has the company provided you with a motorhome?"
"Brother Gu, you really think highly of me. What kind of trash am I that the company would provide me with a motorhome?"
It's okay, she'll have it after this movie.
"Better Days" earned her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the 33rd Golden Rooster Awards, making her a household name among actresses born in the 95s.
"But it would be great if I could get a car endorsement. Xiaolu, if you don't work harder, when will I ever be able to ride in a motorhome?" Gu Luojin sighed.
"Brother Gu, you're so famous, yet the company didn't provide you with a motorhome."
Gu Luojin is so outstanding but doesn't have a house or a car, and she is so incompetent but doesn't have a house or a car either, so she = Gu Luojin, the two are equally bad off.
Zhou Ye suddenly realized that she wasn't so bad after all.
Only the female lead, Little Yellow Duck, had a motorhome in the entire crew; both of them received the same treatment.
"Brother Gu, don't you have your own car?"
I've wanted to buy it since the beginning, but almost a year has passed and I still haven't bought it.
If you're going to buy something, buy the best and treat yourself.
"Buying a car is a delicate matter; it's not something you can just do by buying any car you like."
There are several types and levels of cars, including sedans, SUVs, MPVs, off-road vehicles, supercars, commercial vehicles, and executive vehicles.
Prices range from tens of thousands to hundreds of millions.
Among all types of cars, sports cars are the ones that men are most obsessed with, dream about, and want to pursue the most.
There are two reasons why supercars fascinate men.
First, it has a loud sound and plenty of horsepower; second, the exhaust is centrally located, making it both loud and clear.
With its expensive materials like carbon fiber used for decoration, such a car is certainly a great driving experience.
"We guys usually like sports cars, but they're a bit expensive."
Although Zhou Ye has a driver's license, her driving skills are not good, so she rarely drives. Her only concept of sports cars is that they are expensive.
"Are sports cars really that good?"
"Of course it's good. Sports cars have high horsepower and a roaring sound, which will make people feel excited."
"But sports cars are expensive."
"It's precisely because it's expensive that it motivates us guys to pursue this dream."
The roar of a sports car is a unique rhythm, like a high-pitched and exciting symphony, bringing people endless passion and enjoyment.
When you drive a sports car, its unique engine roar echoes in the air, like the fierce roar of a wild beast, instantly giving you a strong sense of awe.
Stepping on the accelerator, the engine roars with a deep, powerful sound, much like the feeling of being immersed in the majestic and unrestrained sounds of nature.
As the engine accelerates, its sound gradually becomes higher and more intense, with a brisk rhythm, like a passionate musical piece that brings people endless excitement and impulse.
She doesn't have that kind of pursuit; what she likes most is buying luxury goods, bags, and cosmetics.
When she didn't have much money, Gu Luojin didn't want to settle for less.
Because cheap cars aren't fun to drive, mid-range cars don't give him the status factor, and expensive cars are unaffordable for him.
In an awkward situation.
"Brother Gu, you can buy a used sports car. Several of my classmates have bought them and fulfilled their dream of owning a sports car. They're really fun to drive."
Actually, he had considered buying a used car, as long as it didn't change hands too many times, he was willing to accept it.
Ideally, you should buy a car owned by a beautiful woman with one previous owner, so you don't have to worry about wear and tear.
However, there are too many unscrupulous merchants nowadays, selling damaged cars.
For example, there are a series of problems such as old headlights, worn steering wheel, and odometer tampering.
The strategy of refurbishing and reselling cars owned by beautiful women is no longer effective.
People no longer believe this story; they've been terribly deceived by these car dealers.
After the odometer has been tampered with by the car dealer, you'll find that these cars look brand new on the surface, have a great engine sound, and feel like they can be driven very hard.
However, once you actually get your hands on it, you'll find that the interior is too poor and too old.
The exhaust pipe is especially dark; who knows how many hands it's been through.
For cars like these, patching and repainting are common occurrences, and sometimes even cutting is necessary.
This is commonplace; after superficial repairs, it's presented as a car owned by a beautiful woman.
This leads to many people buying cars owned by beautiful women that may actually be other people's SUVs, which have been damaged and dented without any care, and the accelerator pedal is stepped on while standing up.
Off-road vehicles are most prone to wear and tear when driven on mountain roads. Some vehicles suffer from severe wear and tear on parts, and fuel tanks may leak due to impacts. It is common for them to be abandoned on the roadside or scrapped.
But do you think nobody wants a scrapped car?
Young people, too young.
Cars like these are repaired and refurbished by car dealers, then driven into showrooms with beautiful lighting, waiting for unsuspecting buyers.
It's not because he doesn't buy used cars; the above examples show just how murky the used car market is—it's bottomless.
A conscientious used car dealer will simply adjust the odometer and touch up the paint.
Unscrupulous used car dealers even refurbish broken-down shared cars and overhauled vehicles, then disguise them as new cars owned by beautiful women and sell them on the used car market.
The most well-known car-sharing service is LinkCloud. Many novice drivers who can't afford a car use it to practice driving, which is understandable.
Some people are disgusting, including but not limited to standing up and stepping on others.
Even more disgusting is that some people use Lianyun as a toilet, which has led to some jokes.
Mountains are mountains, rivers are rivers, for drifting, you still need Qoros 3; dust to dust, ashes to ashes, for off-roading, you still need Qoros 5.
These are actually not too bad. The worst thing is that after the car is registered, it becomes a private car and is then used as a ride-hailing vehicle without the seller's knowledge.
I just want to experience what it feels like to be taken advantage of without paying.
Gu Luojin doesn't have a strong objection to used cars. On the contrary, he believes that when money is limited, buying a used car is sometimes a good choice, highlighting its cost-effectiveness.
He currently prefers to buy a new car, not a used one.
If it's safe and they're willing to let him drive, why wouldn't he? After all, getting something for free is the most enjoyable thing.
He just didn't want to buy a car that had been driven too many times, or even worn out; some cars are so bad that even used car dealers can't refurbish them.
After listening to Gu Luojin's explanation, Zhou Ye understood that there were so many twists and turns involved in the used car business.
"Brother Gu, then let's not buy a used car."
"Of course not, if I'm going to buy one, I'll buy a new one."
Zhou Ye thought for half a second. Gu Luojin still hasn't bought a car, so he must be short of money.
She took out her bank card from her bag: "Brother Gu, I don't earn a lot of money, but there's about 200,000 yuan in here. I'll give it all to you. Use it to buy a car."
Looking at the bank card in front of her, Gu Luojin didn't want to accept it.
Instead of being taken care of by a wealthy, high-class woman, she was taken care of by a poor, low-class woman first.
[Ding: Quest triggered. Accept help from Xiaohua Zhouye. You will have the following choices.]
[One: Accept the help, and you will get the February cover of Esquire, a top men's magazine.]
[Two: Refuse to help, and you will get the male lead role in the TV series "The Order of Mountains and Rivers"]
This is clearly an attempt to push him down the path of being a kept man, and starring in a BL drama will become a lifelong stain on his reputation as a straight man.
Although it's very popular, it's not something he can accept.
He was worried that if he accepted the role, he would have to leave the crew after the first scene, ruining his reputation.
"You've given me everything, what will you use it for?"
"I'm a student, and I don't usually need much money. Why don't I give you the money to buy a car?"
Sincerity is the ultimate weapon; he was captivated by this cheerful little dog, who was sometimes prickly and sometimes cunning.
In this day and age, there are very few people who will lend you money, and it was a girl who took the initiative to offer it.
"Don't be moved, it comes with conditions."
Who was moved?
"What are the conditions?"
"After buying the car, they taught me how to drive."
"no problem."
The two had already planned to go to the 4S store to look at cars after filming.
Why lend money to Gu Luojin to buy a car? Don't panic, Zhou Ye has her own plans.
If you lend money to Gu Luojin to buy a car, then she has a share in that car; it's considered joint ownership and cannot be separated.
When facing her best friend, Sister Meng, she felt confident sitting in the passenger seat, as the car was a part of her.
