Chapter 41 Do you still want to do it? !
Lv Liping was so angry that she couldn't sleep all night, but Li Xiaolu slept very soundly. When she woke up in the morning, she even forgot about the quarrel last night.
It was not until she met Lv Liping's cold face when she greeted her that she suddenly remembered what happened last night.
Then Li Xiaolu was embarrassed. No matter how proud she was in her heart, in reality, there was still a big gap between her and Lv Liping's status in the circle.
After all, Lv Liping is not one of those old predecessors who have become outdated. There is no need to say much about last year's "The Passionate Years". After the Spring Festival this year, another "Young Huang Feihong" is currently on the air, and its ratings have crushed "The Fairy Tale of Youth".
Mo Nan, played by Li Xiaolu, is not as popular as Wu Xian [Huang Feihong's mother], played by Lv Liping.
The only thing Li Xiaolu could use to save face was that she played the female lead, while Lv Liping could only play the third female role - but if we compare the popularity of the two, this actually makes the decline even more obvious.
Reason told Li Xiaolu that she should try to ease the relationship between the two parties, but Li Dazui, who had never experienced the harsh treatment of society, was not so embarrassed as to surrender at the moment.
Amid this stalemate, the crew began their busy filming.
Xu Kun couldn't stand the crappy script so he just followed the group to the filming site.
The scene to be filmed in the morning was about the Thirteenth Princess making a Western dress for Cixi, which caused Cixi to pose in front of the mirror. The princess also encouraged Cixi to wear the Western dress and rule the country from behind the scenes.
Then Cixi improved the cheongsam and showed it to the Thirteenth Princess and the fake foreigner Lin Zhongyi for appreciation.
This Lin Zhongyi is the foreigner who taught Li Lianying how to blow his nose with a handkerchief. He is also the boyfriend of the Thirteenth Princess in this drama. His hidden identity is a remnant of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
The actor is the Russian singer Abliz Nie, also known as "Old Nie" who was dragged by Li Xiaolu to welcome Xu Kun yesterday.
When we got there, no one noticed anything unusual.
But when they arrived at the shooting site, everyone felt that something was wrong. Lv Liping and Li Xiaolu, who used to always stick together, were now "separated" and ignoring each other.
It was as if there was an invisible barrier between the two of them.
Lv Liping was quite calm and composed. Apart from ignoring Li Xiaolu, she continued to do what she was supposed to do, just like usual.
Li Xiaolu was obviously restless and upset. She would steal glances at Lv Liping from time to time, gritting her teeth and clenching her fists, as if she was going to pounce on her and fight her to the death.
In her current state, how can she act lively and cheerful?
The shot of putting a waist tie on Lv Liping was NGed seven or eight times.
Even so, Lv Liping did not get angry, but just said coldly: "Practice more."
After saying that, he left Li Xiaolu to rest aside.
Although he didn't say anything, the condescending look still made Li Xiaolu break down her defenses.
In a fit of impulse, she pushed over the dressing mirror next to her. Although the mirror was fortunately blocked by a stand and did not break into pieces, her violent temper was clearly revealed.
While Li Xiaolu was called by the director to have a chat next door, a half-true and half-false news spread widely in the crew.
It is said that Li Xiaolu came back from outside drunk yesterday. Teacher Lu, who lives with her, advised her not to delay her performance the next day. However, she not only did not listen to the advice, but took the opportunity to act crazy while drunk.
The label of being a big shot, unprofessional and disrespectful to seniors was put on Li Xiaolu's head.
However, Li Xiaolu was called away by Sun Shupei and scolded. She came out from the next room in anger and saw Xu Kun staring at Lv Liping. She walked up to him and slapped him hard on the back in anger.
"What are you looking at? Are you mesmerized by this old woman? Do you have an Oedipus complex?!"
Xu Kun retracted his gaze and shook his head speechlessly: "Who designed this tattered skirt? It's too ugly."
Then he asked quietly, "Why did you quarrel with Teacher Lu yesterday? Did you drink too much and act crazy?"
"You are the one who is drunk and crazy!"
Li Xiaolu raised her leg to kick, but Xu Kun dodged it easily.
When she was about to chase him, Xu Kun said sternly, "If I were you, I would stay quiet for the next two days and find a way to reconcile with Teacher Lu as soon as possible."
"Why?!"
Li Xiaolu actually thought the same thing in her heart, but she just couldn't listen to other people's advice: "Why should I take the initiative to reconcile with her? Why didn't she take the initiative to reconcile with me?!"
As he said that, he couldn't help but want to chase after Xu Kun: "It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, why would I have quarreled with her!"
Xu Kun only thought that what she meant was that she had drunk too much at the welcome party for him, which led to the quarrel that night. Although he felt that he was somewhat wronged, Xu Kun did not bother with Li Xiaolu. He grabbed her fist and told her the rumors he had just heard.
Then he advised again: "After all, Mr. Lu is a respected senior. The reputation and popularity he has accumulated over the years cannot be shaken by a little girl like you. If you don't suppress this matter as soon as possible, and the reporters exaggerate and report it, you will be in big trouble."
Li Xiaolu was originally worried that Lv Liping would suppress her, but she did not expect the revenge to come so quickly and so urgently.
She secretly resented it, but she also knew she had no choice, because even if she revealed the content of yesterday's quarrel, others would definitely think she was wrong - besides, many things in it could not be revealed to the outside world.
After repeated struggles, Li Xiaolu finally took the initiative to apologize to Lv Liping in front of everyone in the crew.
"Aunt Lu, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have come back so late after drinking, and I shouldn't have gotten drunk and talked back to you."
As she said this, she bowed pitifully to Lu Liping.
In fact, Lv Liping didn't want to make a big fuss. After all, the Li family had three generations in the film and television industry and they had some connections in the circle. Li Xiaolu's mother recently came back from the United States and it was said that she had also ambitiously set up some company.
If the matter really gets out of hand, Li Xiaolu will not only suffer badly, but she will also probably have to pay some price.
For example, a bad reputation for being mean and suppressing younger generations.
Therefore, seeing Li Xiaolu surrender in public, she also helped Li Xiaolu up. However, Lv Liping was still somewhat upset about what happened yesterday.
So while helping Li Xiaolu up, she couldn't help but lecture her condescendingly: "I'm saying these few words to you for your own good. Young girls should love themselves and know how to keep themselves clean. They shouldn't do whatever they want."
Li Xiaolu was forced to bow her head. She already felt extremely aggrieved. When she heard Lv Liping's relentless "ridicule" of her for not loving herself, the string called "reason" in her mind suddenly broke halfway.
Although she didn't explode on the spot because of the remaining half, the more she thought about it, the more angry and extreme she became.
I won the Golden Horse Film Award at the age of 17. Why should I listen to an old woman's comments?
She told me not to do anything, but I insisted on doing it!
So that afternoon, while the crew was filming the scene of Lü Liping and the ministers discussing politics, Li Xiaolu called the idle Xu Kun to a corner and asked with gritted teeth: "Do you still want to do what you said that day?!"
This was a meaningless statement and Xu Kun did not dare to think about it in that direction at all - if he had not added the prefix, he would probably have mistakenly thought that Li Xiaolu wanted him to beat up Lü Liping.
So Xu Kun half-jokingly asked back: "What, making white envelopes?"
Li Xiaolu was stunned for a moment before she realized that this was a line from From Beijing with Love. She glared at him and said, "Who's kidding you? I'm serious! No foreplay, no responsibility on your part, just do it for real. Do you dare?!"
This is too sudden!
Even someone like Xu Kun, who could start the car quickly by just pushing the gear lever, couldn't keep up with Li Xiaolu's pace for a while.
"Really?"
"Why, you don't dare?!"
Li Xiaolu raised her chin provocatively and sneered, "If you don't dare, I'll just take advantage of others!"
As he said this, he pretended to go around Xu Kun.
"do not!"
Xu Kun quickly reached out to stop him. Who wouldn't want such a free bargain? But he couldn't help but ask again, "I really don't have to take responsibility?"
It's okay to take advantage of someone for free, but he would never dare to get too involved with someone else's woman who could just take advantage of her on impulse.
Seeing that he had taken advantage of her and was still hesitant, Li Xiaolu grabbed him by the collar and asked through gritted teeth, "Do you want me to write a letter of guarantee for you?!"
Xu Kun nodded: "That would be the best."
"roll!"
Li Xiaolu was so angry that she left him and wanted to go.
"No, no, no, I was just kidding."
Although Xu Kun felt somewhat uneasy because he didn't get the agreement in black and white, given the current status of both parties, even if Li Xiaolu made the matter public, she would suffer the greater loss.
He then quietly left the film and television base with Li Xiaolu.
