In response to Li Zhihe's question, Jiujiu smiled confidently. "Of course. If I didn't act well, you wouldn't have come to me, right?"
Jiujiu's question made the corners of Li Zhihe's lips curl up. Li Zhihe smiled. "Of course. This script has been in my hands for almost four years. Before you, I had never found an actress who could act as the female lead. You're the one who made me feel that way for the first time."
Li Zhihe's trust made Jiujiu feel that Li Zhihe was a good person. Jiujiu turned to look at Li Zhihe and asked curiously, "What about the male lead? Who are you going to cast?"
"Who do you think I should cast?" Li Zhihe added, "There are so many people in the industry. Who do you think is more suitable for the role of the male lead?"
Jiujiu lowered her eyes. After thinking carefully for a moment, she said with certainty, "No one."
The male lead's character was extremely sickly and was a little neurotic like the female lead. Moreover, the male lead was supposed to look sickly and gentle.
Jiujiu looked around the entertainment industry. Those who matched the male lead's appearance were not good at acting, while those who could act well did not look good.
It was fine if she only satisfied one, but it was really impossible to have the best of both worlds.
Hearing Jiujiu's answer, Li Zhihe smiled again. He turned to look at Jiujiu seriously and asked, "What do you think of me?"
"You?"
Hearing Li Zhihe's question, Jiujiu was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Zhihe.
Li Zhihe looked like the male lead. If his acting skills were good, it would seem that he would fit the male lead's requirements.
However, Li Zhihe was a director. Was his acting skills good enough?
"Director Li, you know how to act?"
In response to Jiujiu's doubts, Li Zhihe did not directly say whether he knew how to act or not. He only said, "This is my favorite script. I won't mess it up."
Hearing Li Zhihe's words, Jiujiu felt relieved.
Seeing that Jiujiu did not ask any more questions, Li Zhihe was not used to it. He took the initiative to talk to Jiujiu. "Although the movie hasn't been released yet, I've already sent it to the judges. If it's done quickly, there should be a trophy for you in the Pegasus Awards in two months."
Hearing Li Zhihe mention the Pegasus Award, Jiujiu nodded confidently. "Of course."
Even Jiujiu's acting had won the Pegasus Award, not to mention her own acting.
According to Jiujiu, if Li Zhihe's movie was released a little faster, she would also be able to win the Best Actress award today.
Jiujiu's confident look made Li Zhihe see another version of himself. Li Zhihe chuckled and asked, "Are you that confident?"
Jiujiu smiled. "My acting is good, so of course I'm confident. Besides, I also believe in you, Director Li. You definitely won't let me go home empty-handed."
Jiujiu's words not only praised herself, but also flattered Li Zhihe. It was very clever.
Li Zhihe pursed his lips and smiled with a gentle expression.
After the award ceremony began, Jiujiu turned her head to Li Zhihe and shared some of her thoughts on the script with him.
It would have been better if she didn't say anything. After talking about it, Jiujiu and Li Zhihe realized that they had similar thoughts about the script.
Jiujiu and Li Zhihe really couldn't stop talking once they started.
When they were talking excitedly, Jiujiu even patted Li Zhihe's arm to show her approval.
To Jiujiu, this was just a gesture of approval, but to the reporters who had been watching them, this was a hot topic.
Coincidentally, because the nominees for the Best Actor and Best Actress awards were still to come, Jiujiu and Li Zhihe's happy conversation quickly appeared on Weibo.
The reporters were especially evil and attached a picture of Jiujiu and Li Zhihe smiling at each other. Jiujiu patted Li Zhihe's arm and Li Zhihe turned his head to look at Jiujiu's smiling GIF.
It looked fine on its own, but when put together, it gave people an inexplicable feeling of a couple.
Jiujiu was the most popular new actress, and Li Zhihe was a new director who was at the peak of his career. Whether it was in terms of looks or age, they were really a match made in heaven.
Even Jiujiu's male fans couldn't find any fault with Li Zhihe.
Li Zhihe's first film had won countless awards, and his subsequent films had all won awards. The most recent one had even won a heavyweight trophy overseas.
Not only was Li Zhihe capable, but he was also very clean. After so many years, there was no scandal at all.
If such a person wasn't good enough for Jiujiu, then no one was.
Even if they were unhappy, Jiujiu's male fans still had to admit that Jiujiu and Li Zhihe were a good match.
Jiujiu's fans were already happy when they were fake, and happy when they were real, let alone the casual fans.
The casual fans were basically happy when they were real, and they didn't want to watch the show when they were fake.
After all, just by looking at these GIFs, Jiujiu and Li Zhihe were a good match.
This scandal became more and more popular, and it directly alarmed Sister Li.
Looking at the GIFs on her phone, Sister Li almost broke down.
Damn it! She had asked Jiujiu and Li Zhihe to contact each other and find out when the movie would be released. She hadn't asked them to chat and smile as if there was no one else around. That flirtatious atmosphere was about to burst through the screen and overflow.
She hadn't even settled the matter at hand, and now there was another pile of work to do. It was really annoying.
She grabbed her hair angrily and picked up her phone to call Jiujiu.
Jiujiu, who was happily chatting with Li Zhihe, saw Sister Li's call and was stunned. She picked up the phone and asked curiously, "Sister Li, what's the matter?"
Sister Li looked at the GIFs in front of her and said with a depressed expression, "Jiujiu, go on Weibo."
Jiujiu blinked and said, "If you have something to say, say it. I'm busy."
"What are you busy with? If you're busy, go on Weibo and clarify your relationship with Li Zhihe."
"What's wrong with me and Li Zhihe?"
Jiujiu looked at Li Zhihe, who was sitting beside her, in confusion.
Hearing Jiujiu call him, Li Zhihe looked innocent. What's wrong with him?
Sister Li didn't know how to tell Jiujiu about the rumors about her and Li Zhihe, so she simply said, "Some photos have been taken of the two of you being a couple. Go on Weibo and explain it. Also, ask Director Li to clarify it. Is that okay?"
The moment Sister Li said this, Jiujiu knew what she meant.
After hanging up the phone, Jiujiu opened Weibo and clicked on the hot searches. She saw her and Li Zhihe's names.
She clicked on the hot searches and looked at the photos of her and Li Zhihe. Jiujiu's mouth twitched.
If she didn't know that there was nothing between her and Li Zhihe, she would have thought that there was something between her and Li Zhihe just by looking at these photos.
Jiujiu picked up her phone and showed Li Zhihe the photos. She smiled and said, "Director Li, the Weibo post says that we're dating."
Li Zhihe was speechless.
