Chapter 125: Chapter 126: Shen Manbing Guest Stars in a New Play
Translator: 549690339
When Gu Qichen proposed to her, she was grappling with this issue in her heart.
A man she could not intimately be close to for a lifetime caused her to feel panic.
Even, she felt that Gu Qichen didn’t have deep feelings for their relationship. Just like what her brother said, the proposal was merely something habitual that a man does when everything falls into place.
Faced with an offer from a Hollywood director, Shen Manbing used this excuse to decline the proposal.
In reality, she wanted to have a serious discussion about this issue with Gu Qichen, as it was by no means a trivial matter for her.
But she did not expect that she would come back to the country only to find out Gu Qichen was already married.
She still could not believe how a man like Gu Qichen, with such a strong germophobia, could have contact with other women.
Even if they did get married, it would be only a formality.
Yet, this did indeed shock her.
When she heard the news, Shen Manbing felt for the first time that Gu Qichen’s feelings for the other girl might not be as she had imagined.
There are some matters that she needs to personally verify.
Shen Manbing suddenly started speaking: “Brother, I heard that the girl is the lead actress in your new film. She’s currently filming at A University?”
Shen Shichuan frowned: “What are you trying to do?”
Shen Manbing said: “Arrange for me to have a cameo, I want to meet that girl.”
She must go to confirm one thing.
Shen Shichuan immediately refused: “Don’t be willful, Yangyang is a good girl. You can’t bully her.”
He understood his sister’s character best.
However, Shen Manbing grabbed Shen Shichuan’s hand, and just like when they were young, placed it on her face. With a coquettish and sentimental tone, she said,”Brother, in this world, only you are the kindest to me. Will you help me? I won’t bully her. I just want to personally find out why Qi Chen chose her.”
Half a month later, filming restarted today.
The scorching heat in July.
Before filming commenced, a few young actresses were gossiping together.
Lu Yao said to Xia Yangyang: “Did you hear? The actress playing Kim Shimei has finally been confirmed. It’s surprisingly Shen Manbing. When I went to find the director just now, I saw Shen Manbing’s agent discussing with the director. They said that Shen Manbing will join the crew today and she can only stay for three days.”
The character “Kim Shimei” is the older sister of the male lead, “Kim Shixun.”
In the book, her character is described as an “arrogant lady of a distinguished family with unparalleled elegance.”
Kim Shimei has few scenes, only three in total, but they play a crucial role in reversing the entire plot. She’s an indispensable character.
Due to the distinct characteristics of the character, an appropriate actor had yet to be found.
No one could believe that Shen Manbing was making a cameo.
It’s true that Shen Manbing fits the character Kim Shimei almost a hundred percent.
But Shen Manbing was too big of a star. Over the years, she only acted in films and even disdained shooting TV series, let alone making a cameo.
The name Shen Manbing has exploded in the rest room.
“I never thought the production team could invite a superstar. They are really willing to spend a lot. I heard that she charges an eight-figure fee to attend an event. With her joining us, the ratings will definitely soar.”
“What you guys don’t know is that the producer of Cinderella is Shen Shichuan. Since he and Shen Manbing are siblings, it’s no surprise that she is coming to support her brother’s show.”
“Mr. Shen invests in many dramas each year, I’ve never seen Miss Shen supporting his productions before. I think it’s because the hidden boss of this drama is Shengyuan’s President Gu Qichen. Have you heard? Shen Manbing actually proposed to Gu Qichen, and they should probably be getting married soon.”
“I also saw this news before, but it was suppressed by their PR team. After all, this concerns the privacy of a superstar. However, I think it is highly likely. Considering that the superstar now in her critical moment of breaking into Hollywood, and suddenly getting married, could it be that she’s pregnant before the wedding?”
“Hard to say, but among the big stars of the entertainment industry, who isn’t guilty of getting on the bus first and buying a ticket later?”
