Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Gu Yiyi had a bad feeling when she saw Gu Zhi

Gu Yiyi arrived at the audition hotel accompanied by her agent and Qi Yunlin.

The two were both dressed formally and elegantly, making them stand out.

Qi Yunlin stood beside her and said gently, "Don’t worry, I will do my best to help you fight for this film. Director Tang is directing, and the male lead is reportedly my uncle, and Shiyu Film and Television is investing.

The chance of getting it is high, and you need to try your best too."

Gu Yiyi nodded obediently, feeling extremely excited inside.

If she could get the female lead in Director Tang’s film, her status in the industry would be unimaginable, and no one among her peers could surpass her.

Moreover, the male lead is Emperor Qi, Qi Hanyu...

While others might be unfamiliar with this film emperor, she knew him very well.

He used to be handsome, excellent, mysterious, a role model for everyone in their area, and the target that Qi Yunlin always wanted to surpass.

With a pure heart and few desires, as aloof as a banished immortal.

Just the thought of acting with him made Gu Yiyi inexplicably nervous...

If it weren’t for her arranged marriage with Qi Yunlin from a young age, wouldn’t it better to marry Emperor Qi?

Qi Yunlin, however, had a gloomy expression, only just learning about Director Tang’s plan for this new film.

In the past, whenever Tang Jin had a new movie, he would always arrange for him to have a deputy director or group director role, but this time he wasn’t called.

He came here today in hopes of vying for a group director role.

Only by filming under Director Tang could he elevate his reputation.

As soon as they came in, they saw Gu Zhi not far away.

Gu Yiyi’s face instantly turned cold at the sight of her, and she couldn’t help but ask, "Why is she here too?"

Qi Yunlin followed her gaze and was also a bit surprised, frowning slightly.

"She’s probably here to audition for a role too."

Gu Yiyi’s heart sank, now having a bad premonition whenever she saw Gu Zhi.

Qi Yunlin didn’t say much else, not sure what he was thinking, only adding, "Today is an open audition, she’s probably here for other roles. Let’s go find Director Tang first."

Gu Yiyi pursed her lips, her expression extremely sullen, but hearing this, she felt a bit better.

True, Gu Zhi certainly can’t be auditioning for the female lead.

Moreover, she had much greater advantages compared to her, and Director Tang and Emperor Qi would definitely give her some consideration.

Not far away, Dai Qian also noticed Qi Yunlin and Gu Yiyi, furrowing his brow instantly.

"Why are Gu Yiyi and Qi Yunlin here too? Are they both trying to secure roles, as director and female lead?"

Gu Zhi shook her head without speaking, but it was probably true.

Dai Qian seemed worried, "If this is really the case, it might be troublesome. Given the relationship between the Gu and Qi Families, and Qi Yunlin’s connection with Director Tang, Gu Yiyi might not miss the chance."

Gu Zhi didn’t respond, as she didn’t see it that way and believed in Director Tang.

Dai Qian didn’t mind her silence, continuing to complain, "You say Gu Yiyi’s acting is this bad, how does she dare to audition for Director Tang’s film? It’s ridiculous."

Gu Zhi: "..."

She didn’t bother to respond, heading straight to Director Tang’s studio with Dai Qian.

However, they were informed that Director Tang was still busy, so Gu Zhi went to try on costumes first.

"Banquet" is a Republican-era spy film about a wealthy heiress, Lu Sheng, profoundly influenced by revolutionary books since childhood, who possesses a heart set on joining the revolution and saving people from dire straits. She and Chen Xi, a suddenly appearing warlord deputy, mutually test each other, confront, and assist each other, eventually providing a crucial clue for the revolution.

Although the film’s leads are Lu Sheng and Chen Xi, it’s an ensemble piece with countless revolutionaries and underground workers behind them, all making immeasurable sacrifices.

Lu Sheng’s first appearance was as a wealthy heiress, with slightly curled wavy hair, a headband, and an Audrey Hepburn-style long dress.

The stylist merely gave Gu Zhi a ponytail and was stunned by her looks.

The two strands of wavy bangs by her cheeks accentuated her delicate features, resembling a doll from a fairy tale.

No wonder netizens are raving about the "Divine Beauty CP," who wouldn’t be captivated by such looks!

It’s hard to imagine, if "Lu Sheng" and "Chen Xi" had a child in the film, how dazzlingly good-looking that child would be!

The stylist, who had worked with Gu Zhi on the styling for "Micro Light," was again amazed by her beauty.

She exuded an aura of elegance as if she had traveled through time from that era as a wealthy heiress.

After observing for a while, he excitedly said, "Teacher Gu, please wait, I’ll go fetch more outfits for you to try. We’ll change to the next style after you’ve tried these!"

Gu Zhi hummed in reply, indifferent, casually glancing at her reflection in the mirror.

She had previously performed in Republican-era and spy dramas and tried all kinds of styles, so she wasn’t particularly moved.

As she waited, she continued playing with her phone until a figure entered from outside.

"Gu Zhi."

Gu Zhi turned at the sound, only to see Qi Yunlin behind her, furrowing her brows slightly imperceptibly.

Upon seeing her, Qi Yunlin froze, feeling as if something had struck him hard inside.

He widened his eyes, unable to believe that Gu Zhi in front of him looked like a meticulously crafted doll.

The 1920s-style wavy ponytail perfectly highlighted her delicate features, the light-colored headband suiting her well, like a girl stepping out of a 20th-century magazine cover.

Her bright eyes were full of vitality and animation, contrasting with her usual temperament, so beautiful one would wish to keep her to oneself.

Qi Yunlin swallowed, feeling an indescribable tension and irritation.

He approached, frowning as he asked, "Why are you trying on costumes here? Who are you portraying? Have you secured the role?"

Gu Zhi looked bewilderingly at him, unable to hide her impatience, "What does that have to do with you?"

Qi Yunlin glanced down at her, surprisingly not angry.

He merely said coldly, "Gu Zhi, I know you’ve changed a lot for me lately and have certainly improved a lot, always striving to prove yourself to everyone.

But Yiyi and I are engaged, and I can’t betray her."

Gu Zhi: "..."

She furrowed her brows, looking at him as if he was an idiot.

Qi Yunlin looked at her, frowning as if wrestling with something difficult, continuing:

"Of course, if you’re determined to prove yourself to me, no one can stop you, you have the right to pursue love. But the premise is, you must gain the Gu Family’s acceptance.

Between the Qi and Gu Families, I will only marry a daughter of the Gu Family."

He once thought he would love Gu Yiyi forever and treat only her well.

But looking at her recent behavior, he grew increasingly perplexed.

Even Gu Zhi had improved, but she was not even on par with Gu Zhi.

How could someone like that be worthy of him?

His intention was originally to warn Gu Zhi today to completely give up on him, as he would still choose Gu Yiyi between her and Gu Yiyi.

But upon seeing her now, he couldn’t bring himself to say it.
