Besides, Gu Qingzhou was more concerned about his looks than anyone else because he had shot to fame because of his looks back then.
Gu Qingzhou was afraid that people would overlook his acting skills and pay too much attention to his looks. Hence, he had even deliberately put on makeup to make himself look less attractive. Ever since he won the Grand Slam in the past two years, people only talked about his acting skills and no longer talked about his looks. Hence, he stopped putting on makeup.
Gu Qingzhou also felt that he had won because of his looks. Hence, he did not care much about his looks.
However, when he suddenly heard Jiujiu mention that he had wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, Gu Qingzhou was stunned at first. Then, he subconsciously lowered his head to look at Jiujiu, especially when he saw Jiujiu's fair and tender cheeks. He then thought of his own face that had turned a little darker and had wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
Gu Qingzhou's face stiffened. He pursed his lips and looked at Jiujiu seriously before asking, "Do I look very old to you?"
The word 'old' immediately reminded Jiujiu of Mo Xiao, who would jump up and down whenever he heard the word 'old'. Jiujiu immediately shook her head and said sincerely, "No, you don't look old at all. You look manly."
However, despite what Jiujiu said, Gu Qingzhou still decided to get his assistant to buy him some skincare products when he returned home the next day.
Gu Qingzhou stayed in Jiujiu's room for a while before leaving.
It was not that Gu Qingzhou did not want to stay at Jiujiu's place, but he had a full schedule for filming the next day. If he were to stay at Jiujiu's place, he would definitely not be able to make it in time.
Even though Gu Qingzhou knew that Director Li would definitely agree to his request for leave as long as he called him, he felt that he should not delay the progress of the production because of his personal matters as an actor.
Besides, Gu Qingzhou felt that he could spend the rest of his life with Jiujiu. Hence, he was not in a hurry to leave for a few days.
After Gu Qingzhou left, Jiujiu took a photo of her hand with the ring on it and posted on Weibo: "I'm no longer single again on my birthday. Congratulations to me for officially being single."
Jiujiu now had more than a million fans. As soon as Jiujiu's Weibo was posted, netizens immediately liked it. Among them, there were a few people who had posted photoshopped photos of themselves that even their own mothers wouldn't recognize.
However, what surprised the netizens wasn't Jiujiu's post, but the comment under Jiujiu's Weibo.
Well, the famous actor Gu Qingzhou, who rarely interacted with others, left a congratulatory comment on Jiujiu's Weibo.
Not only did Gu Qingzhou congratulate her, he even reposted Jiujiu's post on Weibo.
Gu Qingzhou's Weibo was either a promotion for a new film or an advertisement for an endorsement. Jiujiu's Weibo post, which announced that she was no longer single, stood out among the rest.
On the other hand, Gu Qingzhou had his own traffic to begin with. Hence, Gu Qingzhou's repost immediately sent Jiujiu to the hot search list.
In the entertainment industry, Gu Qingzhou's fans were particularly aggressive. Hence, regardless of how popular Gu Qingzhou was, none of the female celebrities who had worked with him before dared to use him to create hype.
This time, Gu Qingzhou personally reposted Jiujiu's Weibo post. Gu Qingzhou's fans immediately said that Jiujiu was just a small-time internet celebrity and that Gu Qingzhou couldn't possibly know Jiujiu. They thought that Gu Qingzhou's account must have been hacked.
As soon as such a conspiracy theory was released, many of Gu Qingzhou's fans immediately went to Jiujiu's Weibo to criticize Jiujiu for being shameless and using Gu Qingzhou to create hype.
Of course, Jiujiu's fans also tried to explain that Gu Qingzhou was the one who had reposted the post and that it had nothing to do with Jiujiu. However, regardless of how many Jiujiu's fans there were, they could not escape Gu Qingzhou's 80 million fans. Hence, they were soon drowned out by the criticism.
On the other hand, when the parents saw the private messages that Gu Qingzhou's fans had sent to criticize them, they were instantly infuriated.
If it weren't for the fact that she had to maintain her fairy-like image, Jiujiu would have rolled up her sleeves and rebuked them. Damn it, I'll bring an army with me when it comes to rebuking people.
Gu Qingzhou knew that he had messed things up when he saw Jiujiu being criticized by his fans. It was Gu Qingzhou's first time facing such a situation. Hence, he had no choice but to ask Director Li for help since it was inappropriate for him to ask his manager for help.
Director Li, who had been waiting for his wife to visit him on set, was forced to do something before he could do anything. Tears of regret rolled down his face as he stared at his wife, who had already showered and was lying on the bed in sexy pajamas.
He was filled with resentment.
Director Li quickly got someone to edit a line of words and focused on his collaboration with Jiujiu, Jiujiu's work in the production team, as well as Jiujiu's help to Gu Qingzhou during filming. After posting the post, he also tagged Gu Qingzhou and Jiujiu.
Jiujiu was infuriated to be criticized by Gu Qingzhou's fans, but she could not rebuke them in order to maintain her image. Hence, she felt extremely aggrieved. Even though Director Li had explained the situation to her, Jiujiu did not want to bother with them. Hence, she did not repost the post.
Gu Qingzhou, on the other hand, immediately reposted the post as soon as Director Li posted it on Weibo. He then called Jiujiu.
The call was picked up as soon as it rang. Gu Qingzhou then heard a single syllable: [Hello.]
Although it was only a single syllable, Gu Qingzhou seemed to have already seen Jiujiu puffing her cheeks in anger. The thought of Jiujiu puffing her cheeks made Gu Qingzhou purse his lips and say apologetically, "I'm sorry."
Jiujiu rolled her eyes at Gu Qingzhou's apology and said in displeasure, "Gu Qingzhou, are you happy to see me being criticized by your fans?"
"I'm sorry, I was just too happy. I didn't expect them to behave like that." Although he could not tell everyone that Jiujiu was his girlfriend, he was still very happy that Jiujiu had acknowledged his existence.
In the past, the female celebrities would only be criticized because they used him to create hype. He thought that his fans would not say anything since she had taken the initiative to repost the post. However, he did not expect that he had overestimated his fans. Even though he had taken the initiative to repost the post, his fans still criticized Jiujiu terribly.
"I won't do that again." After saying that, Gu Qingzhou paused for a moment. After a while, he said, "Ziyou, if I can deal with all these, will you be willing to announce our relationship to the public?"
"We'll talk about it after you've dealt with all these," Jiujiu said and hung up the phone right after.
Gu Qingzhou knew that his fans had gone overboard with their criticism. Besides, now that Jiujiu had already been criticized, there was nothing he could do no matter how apologetic he was. Hence, he had no choice but to apologize to Jiujiu a few times. He then got ready to find someone to deal with his fans.
Gu Qingzhou was a good actor. It did not matter whether he had fans or not. However, he was also a very responsible person. He could not abandon his fans. Hence, the only thing he could do was to subtly influence his fans to accept that he had a girlfriend and that he was getting married.
Of course, if his fans were not willing to accept it, there was nothing he could do.
He was a celebrity, but he was also a man. He wanted to have a family of his own. He could not give up on his life for the sake of his fans.
