Zhang Qi’s voice was trembling.
He rubbed his eyes with all his might, suspecting that he was dreaming.
G-Gu Ruoxi? Was this the Gu Ruoxi who had been out of the industry for five years and had only appeared briefly in the film and television industry?
“Y-Y-You…” Zhang Qi forgot about the pain in his body. His entire body was petrified as he stared at Gu Manxi with his mouth agape.
He stared at Gu Manxi so much that she started to feel rather embarrassed.
“Yes, my name used to be Gu Ruoxi. My real name is Gu Manxi.” Gu Manxi smiled and said gratefully, “I am Chuchu’s mother. Thank you for saving my child.”
Zhang Qi: !!
Child?
I-I seem to have discovered something unusual!
Zhang Qi had entered the film and television industry early on. After more than ten years of experience, his career had finally taken a turn for the better. Of course, he recognized “Gu Ruoxi”. Back then, she had made a name for herself with a film called “In the Prime of Time”. Her appearance was beautiful and her acting skills were exquisite. However, she had suddenly chosen to retire from the industry in the midst of her great career.
Later, she completely disappeared from the industry. There was almost no information about Gu Ruoxi.
Due to certain reasons, “In the Prime of Time” had been removed from all major broadcasting platforms in the country. It was only popular abroad and had won countless international awards.
The entertainment industry was changing rapidly. In recent years, with the rapid development of the internet and the emergence of numerous celebrities, this excellent movie and the female lead had gradually been forgotten.
Zhang Qi still remembered the scene when he watched the movie five years ago in a dilapidated rented house, wrapped in a quilt and drinking boiling water. He clearly remembered the swaying figure and the dim night scene in the movie.
This movie was based in old Shanghai from the last century. Most of its audience were middle-aged people in their thirties or forties, or even older people. The female lead in the movie had become the dream lover of countless middle-aged men. In the original novel, the greasy Director Li, who wanted to marry into the Zhao family, had also decided to marry Gu Manxi after seeing that she looked very similar to “Gu Ruoxi”.
“Miss Ruoxi, I-I really didn’t expect to meet you here. You’re still as young and beautiful as ever.” Zhang Qi was a little excited and his face was flushed as he spoke incoherently, “I-I-I have always been following you in the past. I-I am your idol.”
Gu Manxi: …
“No, no, no, what I mean is that you are my idol!” Zhang Qi’s old face turned red.
Gu Chu covered her mouth and giggled. The room was filled with a relaxed and happy atmosphere.
Zhang Qi really wanted to ask where his goddess had gone for the past five years, but his sharp eyes swept past the five-year-old Gu Chu and then looked at Song Chen who was standing beside Gu Chu. He suddenly understood something.
Zhang Qi did not ask any more questions.
���Go home and rest well. Once you’ve recovered, you can join the crew,” Lu Shanhe said. “The movie preparation will take another month. The shooting period for this movie will be at least half a year. You’ll be busy shooting scenes everywhere.”
Zhang Qi clenched his fists. “It’s okay! To be able to participate in Director Lu’s movie is every actor’s dream!”
Lu Shanhe saw that there were no outsiders here, so he secretly winked and said slyly, “By the way, this is the female lead of the new movie. It will be officially announced in two days, so keep it a secret for now.” Lu Shanhe pointed at Gu Manxi who was beside him.
Zhang Qi’s eyes instantly lit up!
His little fanboy eyes sparkled!
Has the goddess decided to make a comeback?
“R-Really? I-I-I can work with my idol?!” The tall man in his thirties was so excited that he looked like a five-year-old child.
Gu Manxi smiled and said, “I look forward to working with you.”
Zhang Qi: “T-This is great! I’m looking forward to it too!” Zhang Qi was extremely excited. He had already read his script. The role he would be playing was the female lead’s personal bodyguard. In other words, he would have a lot of time to work with his goddess!
What a happy life!
