Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, starting with the strategy of 95 flowers to counterattack

Chapter 203 Even the Shanghai Theatre Academy has people faking accidents?
Inside the rehearsal hall, sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the wooden floor.

Wang leaned against the wall, his long, slender fingers tapping impatiently on his arm.

For rehearsals, she changed into a beige turtleneck sweater, paired with light brown straight-leg pants, which made her figure appear even taller.

Her long, black hair was casually tied up, revealing her graceful swan neck.

“Don’t be alarmed,” Teacher Li Min walked over and lowered her voice, “Some important people will be watching the rehearsal later, and you’ll have to go on stage.”

Wang trembled and pouted, saying coquettishly, "Teacher, I'm joining the 'Kunlun Returns' production team in a few days, and Teacher Haiyan is urging me to join..."

"Silly girl!" Li Min insisted, "This is a rare opportunity, so get to work!"

"How rare could it be?" Wang murmured under his breath, "It can't be more important than Teacher Haiyan's play, can it..."

A classmate next to him couldn't help but chime in, "I heard a very important person is coming today."

Wang scoffed lightly, casually straightening his sleeves.

She'd seen plenty of "big shots" in the entertainment industry; they were mostly investors or washed-up directors.

However, she still slowly walked to the center of the stage, after all, it was never good to offend the teacher.

The rehearsal was only halfway through when the heavy wooden door was suddenly pushed open.

"Hello principal!"

The constant stream of greetings made Wang turn around instinctively.

Her gaze first fell on Vice Principal Zhang Hong, and then she suddenly froze.

The young man standing next to Zhang Hong was wearing a well-tailored dark gray suit with a black turtleneck sweater underneath.

The sunlight outlined his superior profile, with his thin lips pressed into a cold line beneath his high, straight nose.

What's most captivating are those eyes, as black as ink, yet exuding a nonchalant languor.

It was Gu Yang!!!
Wang Churan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She had seen this face on countless magazine covers, but the real person was ten times more dazzling than the photos.

How can a man be so handsome?
As for Tian Xiwei next to Gu Yang, she was completely ignored by Gu Yang with a glare.

"Oh my god, it's Director Gu..."

"Why did he come to our school?"

"Director Gu's company has recently started filming several new movies, could it be..."

"Look, Tian Xiwei is actually so familiar with him..."

"Those two are definitely having an affair..."

"I also want to have an affair..."

Stop dreaming! Look in the mirror and wake up!

The whispers around him pierced Wang Cherish's ears like needles.

She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh.

I was actually thinking of leaving early...

This is Gu Yang!

At this moment, all thoughts of Hai Yan and "Kunlun Returns" were automatically cleared from her mind!

Those things aren't that important...

……

"Students," Vice Principal Zhang Hong clapped his hands, "Director Gu has come to our school today to cast actors, so everyone do your best."

Wang suddenly snapped out of her daze and hurriedly tidied her hair.

Her gaze unconsciously followed that tall, slender figure, and her heart pounded faster and faster.

If Gu Yang could take a liking to me...

At this moment, Gu Yang seemed to sense something, and suddenly looked up, his gaze shooting straight at her.

Wang's breath hitched, and he instinctively straightened his back.

She stood rooted to the spot by Gu Yang's gaze, her heart pounding wildly in her chest.

Subconsciously, she adjusted her posture, slightly raising her chin to reveal the most perfect profile.

This is a pose she has practiced countless times in front of the camera; it doesn't look forced, yet it highlights her excellent features.

Gu Yang's gaze lingered on her for two seconds before he casually looked away and turned to say something to Zhang Hong.

Wang clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms.

Was he looking at me just now?

Did he recognize me?

She is Liu Xiyin, who amazed everyone in "Oh My General", she is the "Little Liu Yifei" praised by the media, and she will soon play the female lead in Hai Yan's new drama "Kunlun Returns"...

But Gu Yang's gaze seemed to sweep over an insignificant passerby.

"Chran, what are you daydreaming about?" Teacher Li Min nudged her. "It's your turn."

Wang Churan then seemed to wake from a dream, hurriedly composed herself, and walked to the center of the stage.

This was a monologue, which she originally planned to just gloss over, but now!

She had to make Gu Yang remember her.

She took a deep breath and instantly got into the zone.

Wang Churan's voice is clear and restrained, but her eyes hold a hidden turmoil, perfectly portraying a woman who loves but cannot have the one she desires.

The stage lights shone on her, making her skin appear as white as snow and her eyebrows and eyes as beautiful as a painting.

When the performance ended, the rehearsal hall was quiet for a few seconds, then applause broke out.

Wang Churan breathed slightly, her eyes involuntarily searching for Gu Yang's reaction.

He was talking to Tian Xiwei with his head down, a faint smile on his lips, seemingly oblivious to her performance.

Tian Xiwei, on the other hand, tilted her head and listened with an innocent expression, nodding occasionally.

Wang Churan suddenly felt a tightness and pain in her chest.

Why?
She acted so well!

She bit her lower lip hard, forced a smile, bowed, and then quickly walked off the stage.

At this moment, Gu Yang finally looked up and glanced thoughtfully at her back.

"What do you think of that girl?" he asked Tian Xiwei.

Tian Xiwei blinked: "Wang Churan? Her acting is quite good, it's just..."

"What is it?" "I heard from my classmates that she's a bit arrogant." Tian Xi stuck out her tongue. "But she is indeed quite capable. She acted very well in 'Oh My General'."

Gu Yang gave a soft "hmm" and didn't say anything more.

Meanwhile, Wang Cherished the backstage area, peering intently through the gap in the curtain at the scene of Gu Yang and Tian Xiwei interacting.

A crazy idea was beginning to sprout in her mind.

in case……

If she could get Gu Yang's attention...

Could she also easily obtain the best resources like Tian Xiwei?

The casting process was still ongoing. She found a corner, opened her phone, and searched for information about Gu Yang on Weibo, Douban, and various entertainment forums.

However, as a top star and owner of Xinghe Media, Gu Yang keeps his private schedule extremely private, and almost no definite whereabouts can be found online.

but……

She searched through the Shanghai Theatre Academy's internal forums and alumni groups, and finally found a key piece of information:
"Gu Yang came to the school this morning to cast actors. He was driving that black Maybach with the license plate ending in 6688."

This photo was taken secretly by a student from the Shanghai Theatre Academy. Although it's blurry, it's enough to confirm the identity of the person.

Wang narrowed his eyes slightly, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The opportunity is coming!

The casting process ended at 4 PM.

Wang left early, borrowed a bicycle, and waited on the tree-lined path near the school parking lot.

From afar, she saw Gu Yang walking towards the black Maybach, accompanied by school leaders.

"Mr. Gu, thank you so much for today." Vice Principal Zhang Hong said with a smile, "We will definitely recommend suitable students to audition for those roles you mentioned as soon as possible."

Gu Yang nodded slightly: "Principal Zhang, you're too kind! I'll have the company contact the school about the specific candidate."

"That dinner..."

"Sorry, I have a meeting tonight." Gu Yang sounded very sincere.

Standing to the side, Tian Xiwei blinked: "Director Gu, then I..."

"Pay attention in class," Gu Yang glanced at her. "Don't slack off."

Tian Xiwei pouted slightly, but still obediently nodded: "Okay."

After the school leaders left, Gu Yang turned and got into the car, and the driver slowly started the car.

Wang took a deep breath, timed it perfectly, and suddenly pedaled the bicycle.

"boom!"

She was still a safe distance from the Maybach, but she "accidentally" fell in front of the car!

? ? ? ? ?

The driver was stunned!

How can you encounter a staged accident scam at a place like the Shanghai Theatre Academy?

The driver braked suddenly, and the tires screeched as they rubbed against the ground.

Gu Yang, sitting in the back seat, frowned: "What's going on?"

"It looks like I hit someone..." the driver said, unsure how to explain. "But I was still several meters away from her, and the car had just started moving!"

"Let's get out of the car and take a look!"

The driver quickly got out of the car to check.

Wang was huddled on the ground, her long hair disheveled and scattered around her face. There were scrapes on her knees, and her fair calves were slightly swollen.

"Excuse me, are you alright?" the driver asked anxiously.

She lifted her face, her eyes reddening, her voice trembling slightly: "N-nothing...it was my own carelessness..."

At this moment, the rear door opened, and Gu Yang stepped out of the car.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting his silhouette against the light, his features deep and aloof.

Wang looked up at him, her eyelashes trembling, a tear about to fall: "I'm...I'm sorry for taking up your time..."

Gu Yang's gaze fell on her swollen knees, and he frowned slightly: "Can you stand up?"

She tried to sit up, but gasped for breath and her legs gave way, causing her to fall again.

A strong arm caught her just in time.

The faint scent of cedar emanating from Gu Yang wafted towards Wang Churan, causing her heart to race.

"I'll take you to the hospital." His voice remained calm, yet brooked no refusal.

Wang lowered his head in fear, concealing the triumphant smile on his lips.

Gu Yang had a serious expression, making it impossible to discern his true feelings.

Only the driver looked puzzled; the school clinic was just a few hundred meters ahead, and he could see the sign at a glance.

Why did President Gu need to be taken to the hospital?
And the girl didn't object?
……

Sitting in the back seat of the luxurious Maybach, Wang was timid and huddled in the corner, occasionally stealing glances at Gu Yang beside him.

He was looking down at the documents, his profile appearing particularly sharp in the dim light of the car.

“Wang Churan,” he suddenly said.

"Huh?" she feigned surprise. "You...you know me?"

"Liu Xiyin from 'Oh My General'," Gu Yang said without looking up, "She acted quite well."

She displayed a perfectly timed expression of surprise and shyness: "I didn't expect Mr. Gu to have seen it..."

The car fell silent again.

Wang shuddered and secretly sized him up.

Gu Yang's fingers were long and slender, his wristwatch reflected a cold light, and he exuded an aloofness that made him seem unapproachable.

But the more this was the case, the more she wanted to break through this layer of calm.

"Mr. Gu..." she said softly, "Thank you for today."

"No need." He still didn't look up. "Be careful when you ride your bike next time."

His tone was calm, yet it inexplicably made her face flush.

What a delightful experience it would be if she could conquer such a cold and aloof man.
She was completely mesmerized!
