Chapter 85 - The Venomous Tongue of the Superstar
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was Han Jingyi's dream to be his female lead. Although she was in the show business for just a year or so, she was in the acting profession for quite some time. This was her first time meeting this superstar!
Compared to the pictures in the magazines, he looked even better and more glamorous in person.
Han Jingyi did not drink much but found herself a captive of his stupefying charisma.
He was the Greek god in the eyes of many women.
Gu Xingze's mind was crowded with doubts as he looked at Yan Liangxiong for an introduction of the woman.
He shifted his gaze and saw Yun Shishi in the corner.
At this moment, she was already inebriated yet was still stubbornly pressing her lips together. Her fingertips clasped hard on the table top as if she were struggling with something.
Her face, with her bloodshot and misty eyes, was expressive.
Forbearance, stubbornness, exasperation…
At this very moment, he was captivated.
He could make out a scene in the script in his mind.
The female and male protagonists had an argument, and she went to the bar to drown her sorrows. In that noisy bar, she was seen weeping and resisting the painful tears at the same time.
That instant of restraint was so heartbreaking.
Yin Xiachun!
This woman was Yin Xiachun!
Yan Liangxiong interrupted his astonished thoughts.
"Xingze, let me introduce a new actress from Huanyu Entertainment to you. Her name is Han Jingyi!" He smiled as he moved closer to him and whispered, "You've seen her in person now. She's not bad looking, right? I bet she has a bright future ahead of her. Please take care of her!"
In other words, he is trying to promote her?
Gu Xingze frowned, his frail lips opening and shutting without a word. Han Jingyi coyly reached out her hand to him, but he ignored it.
He had always been haughty and was never kind to those he did not approve of.
Many in the entertainment industry were the recipients of his merciless treatment.
This Han Jingyi might be good-looking, but she is just a newbie with no track record. Moreover, she is like a hollow flower vase. Why is Yan Liangxiong willing to promote a newcomer like her? Could it be because of some dirty deeds?
Gu Xingze's eyes flashed with disdain.
"Beautiful? Director Yan's aesthetic taste seems to be quite bad." Words spouted from his mouth like poisonous darts. "Even if her looks are acceptable to Director Yan, they fail to reach my standard. Director Yan, you may want to promote this actress whom you've slept with, but it is not up to you to decide the female lead for this movie. You know very well that I am one of its producers, too."
Yan Liangxiong was taken aback; his face showed awkwardness and embarrassment.
Publicly mocking the woman he had slept with in front of him was making him look bad.
He knew that Gu Xingze had a solid record in the industry, with strong and influential backing, so he could not afford to offend him.
However, this was utter humiliation!
Han Jingyi was in an even worse state. She sat in stony silence once she heard her idol mock her.
Her Greek god just publicly mocked and humiliated her. She was utterly disgraced!
Gu Xingze gave a derisive laugh and told her harshly, "As for you, acting is not as easy as spreading your legs. There are so many naïve models like you in our industry. Do you really think that having a sugar daddy means you can easily get what you want? You must be dreaming! Show business is not that simple."
