With the crisis over, Gu Xiaoqi began working again.

Because of what had happened recently, Gu Xiaoqi had become more and more popular, and the number of people looking for her increased. However, no matter how one looked at it, they would always be the extremely cold-blooded second female lead, the pure cannon fodder.

The few female protagonists that were part of the group were all online dramas that were made at a small cost just to get close to Gu Xiaoqi's popularity.

After looking around, Gu Xiaoqi was very disappointed.

The people outside were jealous of her rage, but they knew their own business. Without the support of powerful works, no great director would be willing to support her.

After receiving a few more variety shows with good reputations, Gu Xiaoqi finally had some time to rest.

On this day, Shen Waner looked for her with a serious and solemn expression, "Xiao Qi, I have a book here. You, do you want to take a look?"

Shen Waner rarely acted like this, so Gu Xiaoqi also started to pay more attention to him.

After half an hour had passed, Gu Xiaoqi raised her head with bloodshot eyes, "I will take this part."

Shen Waner was happy at first, but after that she said: "Xiao Qi, the crew is relatively poor, and might not be able to pay you well."

"It doesn't matter." Gu Xiaoqi was moved by the script.

This was a story called "Tracking". It did not have a big story structure, nor did it have a grand background. It was just a fresh literary film.

However, it was different from the previous style of emphasizing the importance of style. "Tracking" was very grounded, and was the story of a pair of young siblings struggling to live a life in society. The overall approach was a dark and humorous one.

The role that Gu Xiaoqi wanted to play was that of a twenty year old girl named Wang Lu. When they were fifteen years old, their parents accidentally died. The siblings were bullied by the best relatives, and after stealing the compensation, they were kicked out of the house.

In order to feed her younger brother, Wang Hai, who was three years younger than her, Wang Lu washed the dishes, picked up the trash, and worked as a cashier.

His younger brother, Wang Hai, was a sensible child without the care of his parents. He was rebellious and sensitive. He would always cause trouble at school, causing Wang Lu endless headaches.

Wang Lu had been chosen by his boss in the hotel and wanted to take her as his lover. Wang Lu was unwilling. However, the boss kept pestering him and Wang Hai noticed him a few times.

Rumors filled their surroundings. Wang Hai was looking down on his sister more and more. He wanted to run away from home.

Wang Hai understood that the relationship between his sister and the hotel owner was innocent. He just hated himself for not being able to protect his sister.

Wang Hai's eagerness to earn money led him astray. He was tricked into being a drug dealer's lackey, helping him deliver drugs and peddling them to regular people.

However, he did not expect to be caught red-handed by the police the first time he "did something". Wang Hai was locked up in the police station.

After Wang Lu found out about this, his entire body collapsed. In desperation, she took the initiative to send herself to the boss's bed in order to save her brother.

Wang Hai was young, so he was not sentenced. Instead, he was sent to a juvenile detention center.

After two years in the detention center, Wang Hai came out, but his life was completely ruined. He couldn't go back to school, so he had no one to work with. He stayed at home all day, sitting in his room, for the rest of the day.

After Wang Lu was with her boss, the boss didn't treat her very well. He kept beating her up and scolding her.

Once, when she was drunk, the boss had sent her to someone else's bed. That night, Wang Lu was lying on the cold floor, watching as the people on him kept changing. In the end, she didn't even know how many people she came into contact with.

The subordinates of those men were not important. Wang Lu was directly sent to the hospital, and when he woke up, Wang Lu could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide.

Fortunately, Wang Hai had always been with her. Wang Lu had not died, but she had gone crazy.

The boss didn't dare to tell Wang Hai the truth. He just threw away the tens of thousands of yuan and left.

Wang Hai sent his sister to a mental hospital. Then, as if he had returned to normal overnight, he directly found Wang Hai and fawningly and ingratiatingly begged him to give him a job so he could support his sister.

The boss was relieved to see Wang Hai like this. He left the people to clean up.

Wang Hai lay in seclusion in the hotel. Half a year later, he used all sorts of methods to kill off those people who had insulted his sister.

After killing the last person, Wang Hai turned himself in, but he was found to have a very serious mental illness and was not sentenced to death.

In the end, the two siblings were in a mental hospital, leaning against each other, just like they had so many nights before.

The story was simple, but some of the details were very moving.

Shen Waner's heart was slightly at ease, but she still opened her mouth to speak in embarrassment: "Xiao Qi, the payment for that is ten thousand, we will eat and live together."

10,000 yuan, taking photos day and night for more than a month, and not to mention the preparation work in the early stages, how was this even an actor's salary? Even a waiter in a large city would earn more than this.

In the previous film crew that found Gu Xiaoqi, the pay for the second female lead had already reached 1.8 million, yet Gu Xiaoqi didn't even agree.

However, she still nodded, "No problem!"

"And …" Shen Waner felt even more embarrassed, she felt that she was just helping others with their work.

"Speak, what other requests do you have?" Gu Xiaoqi was very easy to talk to now.

"That director wants you to give it a try. If it's inappropriate, then he will go …" "Looking for someone else." The last few words Shen Waner said were so low it was almost inaudible.

Fortunately, Gu Xiaoqi was very close to her.

Gu Xiaoqi sighed: It seems that the director does not have to have taken a fancy to her.

However, at the same time, she was also very curious about what kind of person would be able to offer ten thousand yuan for her role as a female lead, and also what kind of person she would choose to be.

"Sure, then let's set up a meeting with the director."

"No need, no need. He's just waiting outside the door." Shen Waner said anxiously.

"Outside?" Gu Xiaoqi was surprised. It had been almost two hours since Wan'er came in, and that person had been standing outside the whole time.

"Quick, let him in."

Shen Waner promised as she ran outside.

Soon, she brought in a very tall and thin man.

The person who came was dressed in loose black casual clothes, his face was pale white, his entire body was gloomy, like a disheartened version of Lin Xi.

"Hello, I'm Gu Xiaoqi." Xiao Qi very politely greeted him.

The man nodded without a trace, then snuggled into the sofa, hugging his shoulders as if afraid of the cold, and said, "I'll give you five minutes, just do whatever you want with a play."

His voice was hoarse, as if something was stuck in his throat, giving off a very sinister feeling.

Gu Xiaoqi did not have time to think further, she flipped open the script and picked a more challenging part.

This was a scene where Wang Lu committed suicide in the hospital. Although there were no lines, his emotions were very complicated.

Gu Xiaoqi flawlessly laid on the floor. From this moment onwards, she was Wang Lu.

A drop of water trickled down from the corner of his eye. The expression on Wang Lu's face went from despair to numbness. In the end, there were no ripples at all. She was like a soulless shell.

After lying there quietly for a few minutes, Wang Lu climbed up from the ground with great difficulty. She walked towards him resolutely, picked up a knife, turned around and looked outside the door. Her eyes revealed a trace of reluctance before disappearing.

Looking at the bloody wound on her wrist, Wang Lu smiled. The corners of his mouth first slightly curled up, then slowly widened, and finally, he started laughing and crying again. She fell to the ground, struggling to turn her head, wanting to take another look at the door, but she could not do it no matter what …

"Enough! I'll join the group next Monday. I'll be leaving first. " After he finished, he did not wait for Gu Xiaoqi's response and walked away.

Gu Xiaoqi crawled up from the ground and wiped the tears off her face.

Shen Waner's face revealed grief as she grabbed Xiao Qi's hand, "Xiao Qi, don't blame him. The prototype of this story is him and his sister. However, the real Wang Lu died that night, and was unable to save his sister's life. "

Gu Xiaoqi's heart clenched in pain. Recalling that lonely and lonely figure from before, she felt a little sad.

Reality was always more cruel than movies. Just now, he must have thought back to the scene of his sister's death, which was why he couldn't control himself.

Gu Xiaoqi accepted the new movie. Although it did not earn him money, it was still a perfect stepping stone.

The one who had the same thoughts as her was Gu Jiabao.

Gu Jiabao had lost all her work in one night. Although the netizens on the other side deleted all the information, their memories of him could not be deleted.

When talking about Gu Jiabao, they were still thinking about the sexy scene that they had gotten from her photos.

In order to redeem Gu Jiabao's image, Xia Family had invested heavily into a literary and art film, telling a young yet beautiful story about love in the 1980s, and inviting Kang Wei as the director.

Although Kang Wei's movies these years are not for sale and have a poor box office, but all kinds of awards get soft hands.

The reason Xia Family was looking for him was precisely for the prize.

Gu Jiabao accepted the arrangement, she was serious and worked hard, in order to make this movie, she had specially gone to her teacher to learn for a month. Although her acting skills did not improve much, after putting on makeup and wearing a costume, she could still intimidate people.

And one thing worth mentioning was that one of the assistant directors of this movie was Jiang Gan.

He was still considered familiar with Gu Jiabao, but after coming to the same group, their relationship had advanced by leaps and bounds.

Jiang Gan was originally not bad, and could be considered to have some talent, but Gu Jiabao was also a person who did not want to be left alone. Now that she was being watched by the outside world, she did not dare casually go out and cause trouble, but she had a ready-made target at her side.

The two of them rolled together, and towards Gu Xiaoqi, the common enemy, they both deeply hated and hated each other.

Thus, when Gu Xiaoqi was quietly filming the scene, a poisonous scheme that was aimed at her quietly appeared, and was currently landing on her body without her being noticed.

She was squatting on the side of the road and eating a box of rice. The only thing that could be considered to be disgusting was the fried eggs and tomatoes.

This was also her "special treatment" as the female lead. The others, including the director, were all covered in potato shreds, cabbage, and Gu Xiaoqi's gaunt face, which more suited the character's appearance in the movie.
