u Keyu only then saw a scar that she hadn't noticed before.Behind Gu Kejun's left ear, close to his neck, there was a scabbed scar. Gu Keyu recognized the shape of the scar; it was from a burn left by...Chapter 747: Don't Hold Out Hope

Zhang Yucheng's words were rather tactless, weren't they Pretty annoying, if you ask me.

Gu Ke Yù raised an eyebrow, after his description, she found it quite interesting: "Why don't you give me the script first I want to think about this character."

"Alright, let me take a look and then I'll decide if I want to challenge you."

After Gu Ke Yu received the script, she sat down to one side. Xiao Tang listened to their conversation clearly and her face was full of worry.

"Are you really going to take this role We're still trending on Weibo, and it's not positive news. You're already playing a villainous character, I'm worried it won't be good for your image."

Gu Ke Yu could understand Xiao Tang's feelings, but from her own perspective, she was able to analyze the problem from multiple angles: "A movie itself is a huge production. From preparation to filming, the time involved is already very long."

"Besides, the release date and premiere happened long ago. Don't worry about it. If that Weibo incident hadn't been suppressed back then, I guess I wouldn't be in the entertainment industry anymore."

Gu Ke Yu said it in a joking tone, but in fact, her whole person was very serious. Xiao Tang looked at her expression and sighed softly.

Gu Ke Yu continued, “Besides, I'm an actor, acting is my profession. I hope to be able to challenge myself with different roles and enjoy the process of shaping them.”

She was speaking her heart. When Xiaodong heard what Gu Keyu said, the words that were hovering on his lips suddenly disappeared.

"But..." Xiao Tang hesitated, she had something to say but didn't know how to convince Gu Keyu.

"From ancient times to the present, anyone who has created some classic villainous characters will be labeled for life and face criticism. Some people even take it to reality, attacking artists personally."

Xiaotang was also mostly worried about this aspect. She was afraid that Gu Ke's real life would be affected, and no one wanted to see that kind of situation.

But Gu Ke'yu himself was surprisingly calm: "Then I'm even less afraid. I don't live my life based on what others think of me."

"Just leave this to me, I can handle it."

Seeing Gu Ke'yu so determined, Xiaotang could only support her. As for what happened next, she would help handle it.

After reading the script for a while, she understood the role she was to play. Gu Ke'yu's brows furrowed even deeper, this female general sent by someone was indeed no ordinary person.

The performance needs to be layered and progressive, one layer at a time. If there isn't a solid acting foundation to support it, the character will come across as unconvincing.

She loves a good challenge, because that's the only way she can improve.

In a little while, Zhang Yucheng came again: “Gu Ke'yu, how have you considered it”

"I've thought it over, and I particularly like this role. I also want to give it a challenge."

Seeing Gu Keyu's agreement, Zhang Yucheng was obviously very happy: "Okay, I like your young people's energy. Since that's the case, come with me inside for an audition."

The dressing room was filled with people, including assistant directors, producers, and investors.

Gu Ke's bearing was graceful and confident, without any stage fright. She carried herself with an air of assurance, looking every bit the commanding general.

Zhang Yucheng smiled: "You just looked at the script, how about this, you perform a segment that you personally like best"

Gu Ke Yu's portrayal of this female antagonist, her life is full of ups and downs. She had a happy and smooth first half of her life. Born into a military family, she always wanted to serve her country. She started martial arts from a young age, and her personality was tough and unyielding.

As her accomplishments grew, so did her power. This drew the attention of certain corrupt officials at court, who began to find ways to smear her reputation.

The emperor and country she trusted, yet with her own hands they shattered her faith. They didn't believe in her loyalty, leaving her completely broken.

Gu Ke'yu carefully recalled the plot, she actually liked most was her early martial arts training and the proud appearance of galloping on the battlefield.

But the plot was relatively bland, unable to showcase her acting skills. Gu Ke Yu thought for a while and decided to take a risk, making a bold decision.

She portrayed General Guangrong's life, showcasing her glorious first half and the disbelief and heart-wrenching despair when she was suspected by the Emperor.

After the performance, Gu Ke Yu let out a breath. Her performance just now was unstable and she even made some small mistakes.

After walking out of the room, Gu Ke'yu couldn't help but feel a little lost. Xiao Tang immediately came up to him: "How is it"

"Sigh, hung up. I didn't perform well just now..."

It's alright, alright. There will be other opportunities later on.

Originally, Gu Keyu didn't have any hope left, but who knew it was really unexpected. Zhang Yucheng finally chose her in the end.

"Director, but I just..."

"I know your performance doesn't quite meet my expectations, but you've done well in the past. Besides, considering this is your first time, I estimate your mental preparation isn't ideal."

"Go back and study this character even more deeply, really understand her thoughts and beliefs. There's a lot of room for growth, I hope that by the time we start filming, you're completely different from how you are today."

Zhang Yu Cheng spoke calmly, his words made Gu Ke Yi feel a little ashamed, but more importantly, it strengthened her resolve to do a good job.

"Don't worry, director! I will definitely put in more effort!"

I believe in you.

After returning home, Tang Lijia was still waiting for good news: "How is it going"

"I got it, but I still didn't analyze this role accurately. I don't know what to do." With that, Gu Ke'yu sighed.

Luckily, Tang Lijia also loved acting very much. She was willing to help Gu Keyu solve the problem, “Give me the script, and I’ll take a look for you.”

After reading the script, Tang Lijia and Gu Keyu discussed the character's life story. In a gentle voice, Tang Lijia drew Gu Keyu into the scene.

She slowly adjusted her state: “I finally got the hang of it, that’s great!”

"At first your thinking was a bit off, but as you gradually adjusted, not only did your state get right, but your understanding became even more profound." Tang Lijia didn't hold back her praise; she truly felt Gu Ke'yu was very intelligent.

This matter is thanks to Tang Lijia's efforts. She immediately expressed her gratitude: "It's not because of your guidance, if it weren't for your military expertise, I really wouldn't know how to handle it!"

"Alright, stop with the thanks. Go back and think it over yourself. When this role is truly successful, that will be the most powerful thank you."

Tang Lijia's words gave Gu Ke yu a sense of vigor, she felt very motivated.d, clothing, and shelter! Now that she's sick, you have a duty to pay for this! How can you be such a heartless person! So, Gu Ke Yu, help my mother, and I'll let bygones be bygones, okay"Gu Ke Yu was...
