Episode 1: Round One, Stage Two, Part 3
"Very... Interesting," Qing Yuan said with a smile. An unfriendly smile. She circled the girl, tossing her hair to one side, then faced her again.
"W... What are you going to do?" the girl stuttered.
Qing Yuan placed a finger on her chin and tilted her head. "Hm. What should I do, right arm?" she asked her trusted friend behind her.
Her friend sighed, her hands on her hips. "Let's just toy with her for now... Before everyone gets back."
"Good idea," Qing Yuan said with another smile. She pointed at Shu Fang's character. "Right hand. Take care of her." Shu Fang nodded with a smirk.
"Cut!" The director of Box R called. "That's all for today. Good job everybody!"
"Thank you, director," Gong Xi said with a bow. "Come on, Shu Fang, you want to go out and eat before we go?"
"Sure. We'll meet Qin at the site when we get there," Shu Fang said. "Bye, everyone!"
Shu Fang's manager drove them to the site where they will be shooting their first scenes of the movie. "Good luck," Shu Fang's manager said. She drove off.
"Look, Qin is here!" Shu Fang said, walking over to the tall girl under a tent.
The site had many trees around a big house that was a hotel. It sort of reminded Gong Xi of the Shangs' japanese inn back in Taidong. Just like the inn, it had a river near by. She met Corn by a stream near the inn. She would go there everytime to cry and see him. Gong Xi smiled sadly.
Once she reached the tent, there was an eruption of laughter. Gong Xi looked around in confusion. There in the tent with Qin was Fei Lihua and her servants: Ruby, Emerald, and Sappire. Gong Xi had thought that those were weird names for men but they took pride in it.
"Ah, the three losers are here!" Fei Lihua said. "Where's that ugly piink uniform that makes people blind?"
"Aw, Fei Lihua. It's nice to see you, too. How has it been since the audition?" Qin asked with fake friendliness.
Fei Lihua grimaced. "How dare you speak to her like that!" said Ruby with a gasp.
"You two just got lucky. But all you are is an obstacle!" Emerald added.
Right there, Qing Yuan took Gong Xi's body over. Gong Xi smirked. "Thank you for that compliment. Thinking of us as obstacles is thinking of us as challenges in your way. But I'm not thankful for the fact that you would suggest that we are at your level," 'Qing Yuan' said smoothly.
Fei Lihua's servants gasped, their hands flying to their chests like they were having a heart attack. Gong Xi tilted her head with a smile. "Did I say something wrong?" She asked innocently.
Shu Fang clapped her hands loudly in front of Gong Xi's face. Gong Xi blinked a couple of times and shook her head like she was waking from sleep. She looked around with a lost expression. "What happened?"
"Qing Yuan again," Shu Fang replied simply.
Gong Xi whined, kicking the ground with her worned out sneakers. "Again? I guess shooting Box R for a long time made me switched to Qing Yuan automatically with a comment like that. Now I'm worried that it would happen while shooting the movie," Gong Xi panicked. She yanked at her hair and shook her head.
"Gong Xi, it's fine," Shu Fang said quickly. "That happens to me sometimes with my character. Don't worry."
"You're all a bunch of freaks," Fei muttered, crossing her arms. "No matter. Ruby, Emerald, Saphire. You may go. I think I can go on without your help."
"You are so great, mistress," they said with adoration in their eyes.
"Whatevers. Leave." She shooed them with a flick of her wrist.
"Have any ideas, Gong Xi," Qin whispered to her friend. She was not going to tolerate working with a spoiled brat for the whole movie and not have a plan to deal with it.
"I'm... working on it," Gong Xi replied hesitantly. She smiled sheepishly at Qin.
"Why, what happened at the audition?" Shu Fang whispered. The Love Me members formed a circle, their backs towards Fei Lihua.
"She wouldn't let me and Qin discuss what we'll do for the first and second part of the audition. The task was first to have person A be mad at person B because the boy the A likes is in love with B. We were supposed to have them be mad at each other but also show that the friends are the most important person in the world to each other," Gong Xi said softly.
"The first part we passed. The second part was more difficult. Person B has to make person A forgive her and in the end they're best friends again. So I have to follow Gong Xi's lead while the last time she followed mine. Fei stole the idea from Gong Xi on how they're going to make up by using the product. We found out at the last minute. Luckily Gong Xi thought of another idea right on the spot," Qin added. "Besides, Fei was never nice to me. She wouldn't even let me be in the school's plays."
"Really? So mean," Shu Fang said with a frown. "And we have to work with her?"
"Exactly what we were saying!" The two friends said in unison.
"Ah, you three are finally here," said the make-up artist as she walked in. "We're ready for you guys in the other tent. Follow me."
"Yay!" Gong Xi said happily, skipping after the lady. Qin and Shu Fang casually followed behind.
I can't believe I have to work with Dun He Lian, my enemy, Shang thought. He sat in one of the tents with one of Taiwan's top actors. He kicked his feet up on the coffee table and lazily flipped through Wan Lixue's script. Every now and then he would glare at Lian then look away quickly when he thought he saw him smirk. Who does he think he is? Dun He Lian, you will be going down and I will take Gong Xi back!
"Director, the girls are ready," the make-up artists announced when she walked in. Four girls arrived one by one in button white shirts and black skirts that reached their knees like school uniforms. Shang's eyes ran over Gong Xi's outfit. So that's how she would look with her uniform on. They bowed to Director Hong Long and took their seats on the small couch next to us.
"Ah, good. First, we will film Gong Xi and Fei under that tree," director said, pointing to a lonely tree near the house with a bench under it. "Remember, you two are sisters that don't get along - oil and water - but Fei's character is more boasting and mean while Gong Xi's character is more gentle but sly. Remember that!" Gong Xi and Fei looked at each other. Fei sneered, getting up and strode to the bench.
"Yes, director!" Gong Xi said obediently, with a bow. At the corner of Shang's eye, he thought he saw Lian smile at Gong Xi's gesture but shook it off. She hurried to catch up with Fei.
They took their places, sitting under the tree on opposite sides of the bench. They both had a book in their hands resting on their laps. Fei crossed her legs gracefully while Gong Xi kept her knees together. "Action!" Hong Long called. The camera man filmed them as they sat in silence. Then Fei spoke.
"Have you heard from mother and father about us - or atleast one of us - having an arranged marriage?" She asked, her attitude was the same in real life - a spoiled brat. She flipped the page of the book delicately.
"No. I haven't," Gong Xi replied politely, "But I'm pretty sure that you'll have a husband in no time, considering how you have mother's beauty."
"That's true," Fei agreed with a smile. "So I guess that you have to be the one with an arranged marriage. I wonder who the poor man be that mother and father will set you up with. Then again, one of us has to be the beautiful one, am I right?" She glanced side ways at Gong Xi.
Gong Xi gave a small sly smile that was barely noticable. "Yes, you're right. With you having mother's beauty, I guess I have father's smart mind. If the man doesn't like my looks, atleast there's the brain. That's what father always say, anyways."
Fei's smile dropped. "How nice of father to lie to you," Fei said. Then she paused, setting her book face down onto her lap. "Did you just insulted me?" Fei asked with a glare.
"No. I complimented you on how your beauty overruns your brain. One of us has to be the smart one, am I right?" Gong Xi replied with a glint in her eyes. Her lips smiled but her eyes say different. They were intense.
Fei froze from the star but quickly recovered. She scoffed, collecting her book and stomped off towards the house. Gong Xi let out a sigh of relief, swinging her legs onto the rest of the bench, her back supported by the arm rest. She calmy flipped a page in her book.
"Cut!" Hong Long shouted. "That was good. Let's move on to the next scene!"
"Why can't I see Mulan!" Shu Fang demanded to Fei's character. Mulan was the name of Gong Xi's character. Shu Fang stood outside of the boarding house that Mulan's family owns.
Fei smirked, crossing her arms and leaned against the doorframe. "Mulan... Is busy. She doesn't have time for you," Fei replied harshly.
"When was that? When is she ever busy for me?" Shu Fang shouted, her hands turning into fists.
Fei chuckled. "Let's just say she has more important things than hang out with... you. Something that will help my family quite alot. Now good bye, Ling." She slammed the door on Shu Fang's -Ling's - face. Shu Fang stumbled back and growled in frustration.
"How can you be related to Mulan, Li Mei," Shu Fang grumbled. She walked away from the house quickly.
"Cut! Lets take a lunch break everyone," Director Hong Long said. "Yes, director," said the actors.
The Love Me members and the rest of the actors, excluding Fei Lihua since she wanted to eat someplace better, went into the tent bringing out their plate lunches. Lian sat next to Mr. Du, accepting the water bottle from his manager with a smile and a thank you. Mr. Du pulled out a small box of rice balls and held it out to offer Lian one but he denied. Gong Xi noticed this and took the chair next to Lian's.
"Mr. Lian, you need to eat to get enough energy for today's filming," Gong Xi said. "Hardly eating is a bad habit."
"Well, Mr. Du has his own lunch and I don't have any. It's not right to take some from him," Lian defended with a mocking smile.
Gong Xi frowned but then smiled when she just remembered something. She grabbed her bag and pulled out a second plate lunch and held it out to Lian. "Here," She said, waving it for him to take it. "I knew you'd be like this so I made an extra just in case. Take it." Gong Xi gave him a serious look.
Lian looked at it and smiled. "Thank you, Gong Xi," He said with a smile.
He gently took it from her and opened the lid. The smell from her cooking made his stomach growl. Gong Xi smiled, hiding her internal struggle of keeping her heart steady. During the whole thing, they hadn't notice that a certain pop star was glaring at them from the side.
