Chapter 41: Turning Black into White
Chapter 41: Turning Black into White
"Well……"
That's true. Such things are rare in the industry, but not uncommon either.
Gu Luojin wasn't the first to do this, but it was true that there were risks involved, and Wu Bai knew that his words were somewhat exaggerated.
It seemed I couldn't fool him: "Little brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, but where's the producer?"
Once the problem is identified, things become easier; we can then address it accordingly.
"Brother, I'll handle the producer, and you get the footage for me. How about we have a second shoot tonight?"
"As long as you can get the producer on your side, I'll edit as much footage as you need, working overtime to get it for you."
Having resolved an important matter, Gu Luojin suddenly felt the urge to urinate.
They still drain water side by side, just like Angkor Wat and Wang Ge. Why are they so close to the toilets? Are they worried that they won't be able to fit it in?
"Brother, you know me, I'm not the kind of director who takes drugs."
"Brother Wu, don't worry, I know your character well."
"That's good. I was just afraid that a good actor like you would misunderstand me."
"Actually, I was a little worried about your acting skills at first, but your performance put me at ease, and later you amazed me with your acting skills."
"Especially that bar scene, I was completely captivated by you, and the entire crew was also impressed by your acting skills."
"Perform well. A good actor like you has a bright future in this era."
"My brother will toast you a few more times later; all my feelings are in his heart."
"You can't get me drunk, there's a second round."
As he said this, Wu Bai glanced at Gu Luojin. At that moment, he could hardly believe his eyes. Was this how a human being should behave?
While talking, he moved even closer to the toilet.
"Brother Wu, you're just like Brother Wang."
"That son of a bitch, Old Wang, no wonder he asked Xiao Gu to go to the toilet with me, he was waiting for me here."
He admitted that he had lost his temper, which is why he cursed at Lao Wang.
As a man, no one wants to lose face.
They wouldn't say it's difficult to grasp, but rather difficult to control; some even exaggerate the factors and engage in false advertising.
Even at this scale, Gu Luojin has not yet reached the average level of Douyin users.
Wu Bai walked out of the restroom, looking completely drained of energy, his face blank and lifeless. Wang Qianyuan suddenly didn't feel so bad anymore.
You old Wang, you look honest and kind with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but you're actually full of bad intentions.
……
"Xiao Gu said that it's just the three of us doing a second round, do you want to come?"
"Let's go."
With Gu Luojin around, he wasn't worried about being bored, and he was also safe.
"Then let's find a place with high costs, high social status, and high environmental standards."
The "three highs" do not refer to high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol, but rather to high standards, high requirements, and high quality.
"Sigh, if it weren't for you inviting me, Xiao Gu, I wouldn't want to go at all if someone else invited me."
"After all, someone like me who values self-discipline would generally not go to such places."
He was just washing his feet, what else did he want to do? He didn't participate in what followed.
"Angkor, we're not washing our feet."
"Oh, what insightful opinion does Xiao Gu have?" He was intrigued by Gu Luojin's words.
Gu Luojin thought to herself, "Since you're going to pretend, let's see who can pretend better."
Actually, we're not washing our feet, but the mud from walking through the world, smoothing away the rough edges and misfortunes that time has worn away.
At first, I thought it would be an ordinary night, but she stood in front of me with her suitcase, like a flower nurtured by a clear mountain spring.
For you, it might just be a foot bath, but for her, it could be a train ticket home for the Chinese New Year, or a down jacket to keep warm in the dead of winter.
It rekindled a longing for life in her sick mother, gambling father, school-aged brother, and broken woman.
What is being washed away is the sorrow for her fate, the precious years of her youth, yet burdened with heavy responsibilities.
The autumn wind understands my heart, gentle and affectionate; love rises with the bell, and when the bell stops, my heart is still unsettled.
When her delicate little hand brushes across your ankle, it takes away the fatigue of the day and leaves behind the beauty of life.
All you know is that the moon is full tonight, and if you don't go, you'll seem like you have no sense of romance.
All you can do is leave a faint, insignificant mark on her life during her prime.
After hearing Gu Luojin's explanation, Director Wu was struck dumb.
He felt that he wasn't washing feet, but saving a young woman in the prime of her life who had fallen into prostitution.
Gu Luojin couldn't understand why society always carried such stereotypes.
Others who wash feet are also earning their money through hard work; how can we look at them with prejudice?
"So what I'm washing isn't feet, but rather saving a broken family and providing them with a source of livelihood."
"Instead, it provides a great boost to a young woman's efforts on her path to self-reliance and wealth."
Wu Bai and Wang Qianyuan stared blankly at Gu Luojin: "That's right, that's how you understand it."
"Xiao Gu, you're a fucking genius. That's the most pretentious answer I've ever heard. Your IQ must be 160."
He turned black into white, and completely absolved the common perception of the immorality associated with washing feet.
At this moment, he felt no burden at all; instead, he was burdened with the responsibility of saving the technicians from their dire situation.
Given the current situation, if he doesn't go, then he is truly guilty.
He is a sinner, unworthy of gratitude to Heaven and Earth, unworthy of gratitude to his parents.
Harming humanity, betraying all living beings, I wish to cast aside everything, eliminate fame, fortune, and power, relinquish money and material possessions, and return to my true self. (BGM)
The three moved to a second venue.
The venue was arranged by Director Wu, but he was to pay the bill, and he even prepared cash just in case.
Those who know, know.
If you ask him to find it, he definitely won't find it. Even if he does find it, it'll be plain. Only someone with experience like Director Wu can tell the difference.
"Xiao Gu, are we really going in?" Wang Qianyuan asked with some concern.
"A legitimate establishment, operating normally, a proper foot massage? What's the problem?"
"All right."
If it weren't for needing a favor, Gu Luojin would really not want to come for a foot massage; it's expensive and bad for her reputation.
Instead of wasting time, why not exercise with Nazha? Maybe you'll develop feelings for her over time and change her mind about breaking up.
"To be honest, Xiao Gu, if it weren't for you, my idea about foot washing would still be stuck in stereotypes."
"I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable in this area. We're truly kindred spirits."
He was worried that pulling out his big gun would make Director Wu feel inferior.
Unbeknownst to him, two middle-aged men had already secretly grieved.
Foot massage is also a way, and techniques are also methods; the way follows nature.
The three entered the foot massage parlor. Director Wu waved his hand and then ordered three extremely expensive young ladies to provide services.
He just wanted to enjoy the standard foot massage service and then leave. As for Director Wu's next activities, that was none of his business.
If you come to this kind of place simply to enjoy the relaxation after a massage, then you might as well find a blind massage parlor; that's what relaxation is all about.
"Handsome, want to extend the time?"
"No need, I'll rest for a while and then leave."
It was obvious that the young lady was in a bad mood after Gu Luojin refused.
Although Gu Luojin was wearing a mask and his face was not fully visible, you could tell from his eyes that he was a handsome man.
"Handsome, it's fine if you don't want money."
He knew that what's free is often the most expensive.
For example, Tencent Games, although free-to-play, makes players unable to resist spending money to buy skins, which is why Honor of Kings has become the world's most profitable game.
It's not that he looks down on them; his main concern is their health and his career, which is one of the important reasons he's considering it.
If he gets banned for frequenting high-class clubs, then congratulations! He'll become the most shameful and disgraceful person in the Chinese entertainment industry, a reason for his ban that will go down in history, and he'll be laughed at by people in the industry.
Going to a foot massage parlor alone, and even choosing this kind of place, has any shame? Can't you afford to lose face like that?
Social death—just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.
"No need, I have 1000 yuan here. You can rest in this room for 10 minutes."
"Come out in 30 minutes, consider it a tip."
The technician immediately understood Gu Luojin's sense of time, thinking, "You're not going anywhere, why do you care how many minutes you stay?"
However, she felt at ease taking this kind of money, so why wouldn't she do it?
"Thank you, handsome, you're so kind. Here's my business card. If you want to call me, it'll be free."
All the other ladies have business cards, but he doesn't. For a moment, it's hard to tell who's the real deal.
Wu Bai and Wang Qianyuan's mentality was affected by Gu Luojin, and they have detached themselves from worldly desires.
"This young Gu probably wouldn't care about these things. It's been almost 30 minutes and he still hasn't come out."
"I'll be done in 10 minutes."
"I have 20 minutes."
Gu Luojin saw that it was about time and came out.
"Brother Wu, Brother Wang, you're out so early?"
……
These two are really strange; they don't even answer when I ask them questions.
"Tell me honestly, what did you do for the past 30 minutes?"
What can he do? Although the young lady is a very nice person, he is a law-abiding, law-abiding, and exemplary citizen.
"It was just a massage and chatting, and at the end the girl even gave me a business card, saying it was free. Do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to take advantage of small things? I refused on the spot."
Gu Luojin threw it into the trash can in front of the two of them.
Based on their previous impressions and the young lady's enthusiasm, the two were once again hit by a time constraint.
When it comes to a man's dignity, being attacked twice in one day leaves him with no way to express his suffering.
The two women didn't want to be with a man who had no flaws; it was too humiliating.
"These two didn't even tell me they were leaving, and they didn't wait for me when they left."
