1005 Why Should She Render Good for Evil! (1/2)
This was the principle the veteran Gu Qingliu lived by all these years, which was why his reputation within and outside of the entertainment industry was unanimously good!
It would be apt to call Gu Qingliu a person of noble character and high prestige!
Lin Nuan's opinion, however, was that if others treated her coldly, why should she render good for evil!
One quoted the classics and ancient works, resulting in many memorable lines!
The other loaded her speech with references, every word a gem!
It was fascinating watching them!
The audience had clearly come to watch a recording, but for some reason, they ended up viewing a mild-looking yet tension-filled debate with their hearts raised to their throats.
Although the atmosphere was tense, Gu Qingliu and Lin Nuan chatted rather harmoniously. At the end of the show, he even invited Lin Nuan to his place when she was free!
Gu Qingliu said that he had no wife or kids and had never been good at befriending others. The only friend he had good chemistry with, despite the great difference in age, was the winner of the Best Actor Award, Shi Hanchu! In the future, he hoped to be able to count the young Lin Nuan as his friend too!
After all… it was indeed rare to find a person as wise and intelligent as Lin Nuan. Gu Qingliu wasn't stingy with his praise in front of the screens. He said that Shi Hanchu kept telling him that Lin Nuan was very talented and intelligent, but it was only after meeting Lin Nuan personally today that he found out how much more knowledgeable Lin Nuan was than Shi Hanchu had described her to be!
Gu Qingliu was a near-perfect existence in the entertainment industry, so by saying this, he was giving Lin Nuan his endorsement…
It was rumored that when Gu Qingliu once played the role of a pianist in a TV drama, he got a Grade 10 certification in piano and was invited by the famous pianist Vladimir Vorobyov to perform onstage together.
When he played the role of a neurosurgeon, after reading thick medical books and theses published on the topic of neurosurgery, he nearly became half a doctor.
When he acted as a painter, Gu Qingliu learned oil painting and even personally consulted Ji Zibai, a god-like existence in the art world. Ji Zibai even praised Gu Qingliu, saying his painting skills had reached the peak of perfection. Because of Gu Qingliu's fame and name, the oil painting he painted in the drama even fetched a price of 30 million at auction!
When he was asked to act as an emperor, Gu Qingliu perused the ”Records of the Grand Historian”[1] and folklore concerning that period of history. During filming, he was able to point out the wrong usage of several terms, as well as some errors in the aesthetics and costumes.
Gu Qingliu wasn't merely being polite when he expressed his hopes for Lin Nuan to visit him. When the recording ended, before leaving, Gu Qingliu shook hands with Lin Nuan, reminding her yet again to visit him, even enthusiastically fixing the date right then and there.
Lin Nuan laughed and said, ”I'll visit you with my husband during the Chinese New Year!”
Gu Qingliu had heard of Fu Huai'an. Although he didn't really associate with businessmen, since Lin Nuan said this, Gu Qingliu couldn't very well reject. He smiled and nodded.
After recording ”Talking with Lin Nuan” in the morning, Lin Nuan had to rush to film ”After Heroes” in the afternoon…
This morning's recording was too free from inhibitions and exhausted too much energy, so Lin Nuan's throat felt like it was on fire. After gulping down some water, she rushed to the next filming location. On the way there, she fell asleep in the car.
”I think after this episode with Gu Qingliu is broadcasted, Nuan Nuan will be plastered with another label!”
Fang Yan, who was seated beside Lin Nuan and reading emails on her phone, suddenly said with a smile.
You Nainai, who was in the front passenger seat, looked unconcerned. On the other hand, Mu Taotao, who was seated in the last row, edged forward, grabbing Fang Yan's backrest. ”Is it because Sister Nuan fought the knowledgeable Gu Qingliu to a draw in a debate?”
”If Nuan Nuan didn't have some substance, would she be able to talk about the ancient and modern with Gu Qingliu? Look at how Gu Qingliu's attitude changed from one of indifference at the start to passionate towards the end.”
Fang Yan locked her phone screen and looked out the window. ”All these years, who has Gu Qingliu acknowledged? But all of those whom Gu Qingliu acknowledged back then have either attained a lofty position now or have boundless prospects!”
”That means our Sister Nuan will have boundless prospects in the future too!” Mu Taotao's eyes lit up as she said this.
