Mr Fu, I Really Love You

“I kept trying to please you, giving you blood and life.

“Even when I hid my claws and fangs, acted dignified and polite, and put on a nobleman disguise.

“You said, ‘stop playing those silly games’, but you didn’t know how much I needed you.

“I gave you my loyalty and humility, but I still couldn’t make you happy.

“Oh, fake aristocrat. Disguised as nobility, a fake identity. Polite and refined, and a perfect body. Underneath the empty shell, all that remains is my admiration for you, my one and only.”

At this point, Fu Tianci’s assistant pressed the pause button.

“Director Liu, after listening to the lyrics, do you think it’s better for the plot of the MV to be about lovers or friends?” asked Fang Yan.

Director Liu frowned and pondered, then replied, “Actually, if Lu Tianyu hadn’t told me today that the song is about two brothers, I really wouldn’t have guessed. I thought it was a tragic love story where the guy initially faces unrequited love… and is eventually accepted by his lover. Is this really not a love story? Or… did you write about two gay lovers?”

Fu Tianci was at a loss for words.

Fu Tianci wanted to argue further when he heard Fang Yan say, “If you still aren’t convinced, we’ll get Xiao Nuan to come over and listen to it, and you can ask her then. She would never cheat you!”

“Dang dang dang—”

Yun Liuli knocked on the door before pushing it open…

Director Liu was stunned the moment he saw Yun Liuli. As a director who exclusively filmed MVs, he had seen all sorts of female celebrities. It really was rare to come across someone so beautiful and with such a unique aura.

Fu Tianci was also stunned when he saw Yun Liuli walk into the room. He quietly placed his legs on the floor.

“Sister Yan, I’m here…” Yun Liuli sat down in the empty chair beside Fu Tianci with a notebook and pen in hand.

Yun Liuli had started going for performance classes, and this was the first time in her life that she was seriously taking down notes.

Fang Yan introduced Yun Liuli to Director Liu.

Fu Tianci shifted uneasily in his seat.

“So, Director Liu, Lu Tianyu, do you two have any other comments regarding the filming of this MV?”

“We have no comments!” Director Liu nodded. He was very satisfied with the female lead!

No wonder Fang Yan was promoting her so aggressively. If he was Fang Yan and he had such a stunning beauty under him, he would definitely provide her with the best resources too!

With her looks alone, the lady would definitely have a place in the entertainment industry in the future.

“What about you?” Fang Yan asked Fu Tianci.

Fu Tianci was at a loss for words.

If he said in front of Yun Liuli that he objected to the new plan, would the young lady cry? And they were acquaintances after all—would it be too harsh of him to just turn down the idea like that?

As various thoughts ran through Fu Tianci’s mind, Fang Yan said, “Alright… that’s decided then!”

“I still haven’t given my answer!” Fu Tianci’s eyes widened.

Fang Yan glanced at Yun Liuli as she asked Fu Tianci, “You want to object?”

Yun Liuli looked at Fu Tianci.

Fu Tianci was at a loss for words.

It wasn’t like he didn’t have a conscience. How could he object in front of Yun Liuli?

Fu Tianci’s ears quietly turned red. He was very easily embarrassed.

Tsk tsk…

Fang Yan mentally shook her head. Fu Tianci really wasn’t good at interacting with pretty girls.

There was one song in the “Fake Aristocrat” album, “Darkness”, that was a male and female duet. Fang Yan invited the newest winner of the award for Best Female Singer to sing the female part. When Song Zhifan, who was known in the singing industry as an “energy bomb”, sang with him in the recording studio, the young man’s ears constantly turned red.

“Since there are no comments, when can we start filming, Director Liu?” asked Fang Yan.

“I can start whenever. If we factor in the scriptwriting and set design… with enough funds, we can start in 2 or 3 days at the earliest!”

“Money isn’t an issue!” Fang Yan said with confidence. She had the Kaide Corporation backing her.

Yun Liuli nodded. “I have afternoon classes the day after tomorrow. I’ll be having morning classes three days later, and I’ll be free after my classes end at 10 am…”

Yun Liuli meant that she would prefer to start filming three days later.

“Then we’ll start filming in three days. I’ll get my assistant to block out Tianyu’s schedule.”

Just like that, they had decided on the plans for the MV.

When Fang Yan gave Yun Liuli the MV script, she reminded her, “You won’t need any acting skills for the MV. Just focus on looking pretty. Go for your body toning class this afternoon, and after that, take the script to your performance class so that the performing arts teacher can guide you. When we start filming the day after tomorrow, just relax. No one’s expecting you to receive the Best Actress Award!”

Fang Yan joked with Yun Liuli.

Yun Liuli nodded.

After Gu Qingcheng left, Yun Liuli signed a contract with Fang Yan and suddenly became very busy.

She was very motivated, as she knew that everything she was doing now was for the sake of providing for Gu Qingcheng in the future.

The young lady took her script to class, earnestly seeking guidance from her performing arts teacher. The teacher demonstrated for the young lady once, and she memorized all the movements, but she didn’t really have any facial expressions…

The performing arts class ended at 9 pm, and when Yun Liuli took a taxi back to the Cloud Top Condominium, it was already past 10 pm.

The young lady hadn’t eaten dinner, and her stomach was growling, but she couldn’t lift her legs anymore.

The schedule that Fang Yan helped Yun Liuli arrange was very tight. Apart from body toning classes, Fang Yan had also arranged for someone to take Yun Liuli to a film set so that she could witness for herself how others acted!

Since Fang Yan had connections and the set Yun Liuli visited was for a web drama, she could even stand behind the director, monitor the footage with him, and experience what acting was like so long as she didn’t disturb him.

Yun Liuli’s performing arts teacher also gave her too much homework for her to practice on her own, causing her to stay up late to finish it.

After a short break, Yun Liuli made instant noodles, took out her phone, and watched the recordings from her class earlier that day while eating the noodles. The recordings consisted of the facial expressions her teacher taught her to have while acting out the MV script.

When Yun Liuli was done eating the instant noodles, she took a shower and stood in front of the bathroom mirror, imitating the teacher’s movements and facial expressions.

The teacher said that Yun Liuli was too reserved and not outgoing enough… and that she wasn’t suited for acting, because she didn’t have the gift.

But Yun Liuli didn’t believe in such myths. Gu Qingcheng told her… that there was nothing that couldn’t be achieved through hard work.

When did she, Yun Liuli, ever admit defeat? She even received gold medals in international Mathematical Olympiad competitions! Why wouldn’t she be able to become a good actress?

Yun Liuli was willing to put all her effort into overcoming the word “actress”.

Yun Liuli set an alarm for 12 am, and at 12 am, she sent a message about what had happened that day to Gu Qingcheng’s number, which had been deactivated. She then laid on Gu Qingcheng’s bed and closed her eyes.

Maybe it was because she was too tired, or maybe it was because the large bed smelled like Gu Qingcheng, but Yun Liuli slept very soundly.

When Yun Liuli’s alarm rang at 5:30 am, Yun Liuli got up and practiced her expressions and movements from the night before in front of the mirror again.

It wasn’t until the assistant Fang Yan sent to pick up Yun Liuli called at 8:30 am that Yun Liuli realized that she hadn’t even showered.
