Gu Sisi quickly lowered her head, wishing she could be an ostrich and slip away secretly. But reality didn't go as she wished, and she didn't dare to move.
For a long while, no one said a word. Just as Gu Sisi was about to throw caution to the wind and turn around to leave.
But who would have thought that at this moment.
"Stop."
Gu Sisi turned around guiltily. Summoning up her courage, she looked up and finally saw that there was a person standing in front of Huo Cheng. It was one of the responsible persons in the review.
The stone in her heart had just dropped when Gu Sisi turned her feet and was about to move slowly, trying not to startle anyone.
"Stop."
Once again, Gu Sisi stopped instinctively, but immediately thought that this word was most likely not addressed to her.
She continued to take steps when suddenly she was blocked by a wall of flesh.
Gu Sisi rubbed her forehead and looked up. Before her eyes appeared that face, which she couldn't mistake even if she were blind.
It was Huo Cheng.
Gu Sisi twitched the corners of her mouth. A million swear words were racing through her mind, but she still forced a smile and said, "What's the matter?"
Huo Cheng glanced at Gu Sisi sideways, who sounded like a shopping guide. Without saying a word, he handed over what was in his hand.
Watching Gu Sisi flip through the pages one by one, sure enough, she asked in surprise, "What's this? Why are you showing me these?"
By this time, her expression had become much more animated.
"Choose two. The ones you think are suitable."
Hearing this, Gu Sisi continued to examine. What Huo Cheng had given her were two sets of actor profiles, one male and one female. Most of these people were familiar to her. They were the ones who had come for the audition of the male and female leads.
So did he mean for her to pick the best ones in her opinion?
She casually pointed at two, the ones she had a good impression of.
"These two!"
"Okay." Without even looking, Huo Cheng said to the person behind her, "These two are decided."
"Ah?" A gasp came from behind.
Gu Sisi turned around. It turned out that the responsible person from before hadn't left yet. He looked terrified and said, "But there are still people coming for the audition every day!"
"Cancel them." Concisely, Huo Cheng strode away.
All that was left were the responsible person, who looked on the verge of tears as he made phone calls one by one to inform people, and Gu Sisi, who still didn't understand the situation.
As soon as Gu Sisi entered the room, she collapsed on the sofa. At this time, Yang Qian, who had gotten off work earlier than her, was already lying there like a beached fish.
The two of them were like salted fish and didn't even want to turn over.
"Is it fun on the film set, Sister Sisi?"
Yang Qian asked in a muffled voice.
Gu Sisi covered her face with a pillow on the sofa and sighed, "So-so."
"I thought it would be really fun!"
Think again, girl.
The two of them didn't speak for a long time. Finally, as it got dark, just as Gu Sisi was thinking about getting up, she heard Yang Qian let out a long sigh.
"What's wrong? Are you stressed?"
Gu Sisi immediately asked with concern.
Yang Qian rolled on the sofa and finally rolled her face close to Gu Sisi's. Looking into Gu Sisi's eyes, she said, "I think it's really strange recently."
"Hmm?" Gu Sisi propped herself up on her elbows with an expression of attentiveness.
"I haven't seen Jiang Lihao around here recently. He was so frequent just a while ago."
Yang Qian looked troubled, and it was obvious that she was really entangled in this matter.
Gu Sisi placed her hand on Yang Qian's forehead and said to herself, "It's okay."
"What's okay, Sister Sisi? What do you mean?" Yang Qian looked curious.
Gu Sisi shook her head. Finally, she got up from the sofa in one breath, turned around, and said to Yang Qian, "I suspect you're sick. It's lovesickness."
Seeing Yang Qian looking confused, Gu Sisi didn't continue to explain and walked into her room.
She still had to work hard tomorrow.
What bothered Gu Sisi the most was that she had to go to the film set every day. She used to have weekends off from work. But now, she had to go there and just sit around doing nothing, just waiting.
So, out of boredom, Gu Sisi got a role as an extra during the filming. Maybe she would have a total of ten shots in the whole play.
For Gu Sisi, who was acting for the first time, she was extremely excited. After getting her makeup done, she sat on one side and watched the director instruct the actors with excitement.
"Are you not eating? Do it again."
"Where's your expression? Expression!"
"Are you playing house? Where's your emotion? Are you here to play a dummy?"
"..."
Gu Sisi secretly clenched her fists. Watching the director scold the actors for more than a dozen takes before getting a scene right, she felt a bit timid.
She hadn't expected that this was how a play was filmed. Looking at the costume on her, she felt like crying. She remembered that she also had a scene today.
Was it too late for her to regret now?
"Qingzi, the milk tea you asked me to buy is out of stock." The person speaking looked timid, nervously clutching her clothes.
The Qingzi in her mouth was lying on a reclining chair. She slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes, which were as sharp as knives, didn't match her sweet appearance. She gave a disdainful glance and laughed coquettishly, "So? Can't you go to another place to buy it? Are you a pig?"
"I..." The girl with her head down wanted to explain something.
The girl lying on the chair pushed her away, "What 'I I I'? Stop making excuses. Go right now!"
Qingzi stared with wide eyes and said angrily.
This push was not as gentle as one might expect from a petite girl. The scolded girl fell directly to the ground, right next to where Gu Sisi was sitting on a small stool, concentrating on memorizing her lines.
She repeated her one or two lines over and over again, even constantly changing the tone and intonation, for fear that the director would scold her during the official filming.
There was nothing she could do. The director was really scary.
She was so concentrated that when she sensed someone falling beside her, she instinctively reached out to catch the person, but it was too late. The girl still fell to the ground, and her black glasses fell off.
She immediately got up and helped the girl up.
"Thank you." The girl said softly.
Gu Sisi murmured "It's okay" and picked up her glasses and handed them to her.
Noticing that the girl's expression was strange, she asked carefully, "What's wrong? Are you hurt?"
Just as a scene ended, many people came down and gathered around, gradually forming a circle.
But the girl just stammered and didn't say a word, and she seemed about to cry.
"Give her some time to calm down." Gu Sisi quickly helped the girl out of the situation.
She probably didn't like being watched like this.
"I'll go buy you some medicine for bruises." The fall just now was really not light. Gu Sisi looked around to see if there was any acquaintance she could ask for help.
Before she could move, the girl grabbed her hand and said in a voice as small as a fly, "I'm okay. And thank you."
After saying that, she wanted to leave.
"You sit here and wait for me." Gu Sisi was a bit anxious.
"No, no need." The girl lowered her head and quickly declined, looking terrified, as if Gu Sisi was forcing her to do something.
Gu Sisi had no choice but to stop talking. She watched the girl run away in small steps, feeling a bit confused.
Just as she was about to sit down again and continue preparing for the next scene.
"Hey, you over there, come here!"
This voice was very loud and was even repeated twice. Gu Sisi, whose mind hadn't fully focused yet, finally heard it. She looked over and found someone looking at her.
She pointed at herself and said, "Me?"
"Yes, it's you. Who else could it be!" The girl seemed extremely frustrated, looking like she was grinding her teeth in hatred.
