As soon as Lin Yan and Liu Jie got home, the phone was ringing off the hook from their agents calling, asking them how they had so much trouble from just one meal. When they got online, the hot search harshly read ‘first-love couple contract false conjugal love’. As soon as they opened it, they saw Lin Yan coming out of the hotel with his smelly face and wet hair. After getting in the car, Liu Jie immediately changed her face, and the two glared at each other angrily and shouted at each other.
Of course, this is all made up by people’s imagination, and only the pictures are posted online. Can anyone really see from this picture that they are dissatisfied with each other? Originally, the disturbance that they were each kept by a rich patron, was just over. Although people reluctantly accepted their explanation, people lost a little trust in the bottom of their hearts. Looking at this photo, the marriage arrangement that they had been in love for five years collapsed immediately. Newlyweds are like this before their honeymoon, are they really that close?
Many fans who believe in their love jumped out and said they would never believe in love again. Many fans of Lin Yan denounced Liu Jie as ‘not worthy’ of Lin Yan, and fans of Liu Jie also denounced Lin Yan as not doting on his wife. The two of them finally appeased their fans and it blew them up again.
Xu Zifan returned home, without even a sip of water he began to pay attention to online trends, a large payment to buy three batches of online water army began to be circulated. One batch of people pretending to be Lin Yan fans specializing in all kinds of scandal history of Liu Jie, true and fake scandalous materials. One batch of people pretending to be Liu Jie fans who would forward Lin Yan’s scandal history and scandal material, whether there is evidence or not. The most important thing is to ridicule to the end, driving real fans and passers-by to ‘recognize’ the true face of their idol couple. Another group of passers-by who pretended to be bored by the two fan groups turned the two sides into cults and questioned the feelings of ‘first-love couple’. They had already cheated on each other and their feelings were thin. Their marriage was purely to sell ‘affection’ to people and cheat fans.
Qiao Zixin brewed some black coffee and served it to Xu Zifan together with Pu’er tea. “Knowing that you like black coffee, it is not good to always drink it. Try Pu’er tea. After eating hot pot, it is enough to get rid of heat from your body.”
Xu Zifan’s eyes rested on the two cups and took a sip of Pu’er tea. “Okay, thank you.”
Qiao Zixin stood behind him and saw the bloody fight on the screen. She was dazed and shocked, “A man-made ruin?”
“Well, I originally wanted to stay silent for a while and ignore them, but since I met him today… He is still so ignorant, so we might as well use him to divert public attention from our small-budget movie.”
“Is he useful? Will this reduce the exposure of our movie? It was not easy to publicize, and I thought I would need to hype up my comeback.”
Xu Zifan looked up and smiled at her. “For hype. Let’s change it to a better way.”
Then Qiao Zixin listened to him call the water army and let them start to ‘feel aggrieved’ for her after three hours. Telling them to firmly scold Lin Yan and Liu Jie for framing Qiao Zixin and bringing Qiao Zixin down. To scold Xingchen Entertainment for cheap betrayal, to favor Lin Yan, a little fresh meat, and only recognize the cash cow, and abandon Qiao Zixin as soon as they saw her intention of withdrawing from the circle, and step on her severely. Feeling sorry that the Movie Queen has been reduced to appearing in a low-cost movie directed by a newcomer. Feeling unworthy for her. Calling Lin Yan, Liu Jie and Xingchen Entertainment to give an explanation. At least they have to apologize publicly.
Lin Yan, Liu Jie and Xingchen Entertainment will definitely not admit their mistakes, and will even carry them to the end, firmly denying all of this. But it doesn’t matter, a large number of water army members incarnated into ‘bearer of truth’s, telling every little truth that Qiao Zixin knows, which is reasonable, logical and consistent with all the developments during this period of time, and can be proved by Lin Yan and Liu Jie’s false love affair. Thus, it can be confirmed that Qiao Zixin was destroyed by their joint effort without any actual evidence, giving the impression to the passers-by that Qiao Zixin is innocent.
Then they ‘dug up’ the original novel of Qiao Zixin’s new play, analyzed the bright spots of the authors talent, and highlighted Qiao Zixin’s role, which made everyone doubt whether Qiao Zixin could perform this role well. And at the same time, they had expectations for it. Finally, they took a few seconds of close-ups of Qiao Zixin from the first scene they just filmed and put it out for the public to see. Qiao Zixin is still the same Qiao Zixin whose acting skills flourished, and the picture is not as bad as they thought. It perfectly publicized the new play and let the public’s voice of doubt drop down and wait calmly.
Qiao Zixin listened to his series of arrangements and his explanation to her of the purpose of doing so. Her look at Xu Zifan changed and he was vaguely worshiped. “How can you understand so much? People’s hearts are the most difficult to grasp. You can accurately predict the public’s reaction every time. Even if there is a water army, you haven’t even tried it once. It’s amazing!”
Xu Zifan smiled faintly, “My Master is very strict. People in the entertainment circle has to learn these things, or he wouldn’t let you start your work. In order not to be tortured by Master, I had to study hard. Fortunately, I could use it.”
Qiao Zixin was amused by his helpless expression and wanted to ask him who his master was. However, thinking that his Master would not allow him to mention the name of the old man’s name, she quietly speculated in her heart and stopped asking. She looked at the fans who kept sending messages and said with a smile: “Everyone hasn’t slept. Let’s shoot a bit later tomorrow so that everyone can have a good rest.”
“Okay.” Xu Zifan suddenly thought of something, opened Lan Gui’s dialog box and said, [Can you add a role for me? A male partner who has a lot of scenes, always followed the heroine and silently cared for her and gave her a lot of help.]
Lan Gui was stunned when she saw the text. The movie had begun filming, and now he wants to add a male partner who has the most scenes in the movie. Are you kidding me? Then she saw Xu Zifan say, [Isn’t Lin Yan aiming for The Best Actor Award in his new movie? I’m going head to head with him on this.]
Lan Gui immediately replied to the message, [Absolutely! No problem!]
You can’t be a coward when you see a scumbag in the ring! Lan Gui brewed a pot of thick coffee, opened the document and began to design a lovely male partner. Creating a bright-eyed character second only to the heroine, but also meaningful and remembered, just to beat Lin Yan’s role. She didn’t go to the set the next day, nor did she go on the third day. For two whole days and nights, she slept for two hours when she was tired, set the alarm clock, got up and wrote again, and finally put the male partner perfectly into the written script on the third night.
The original script is too tragic from beginning to end, and the newly added male match becomes the only touch of warmth. He saved the female lead when she was almost raped, escaped the revenge of those people with her, and accepted her as her landlord. After that, he gradually got to know her, but she took a defensive and alienating attitude towards all men. The relationship between the two was not salty all the time, but she could feel his concern from the way the man left the lamp on, to keep her dinner warm. He made it less bleak for the female lead to return to their rented houses after attending night classes.
At first, this kind of warmth seemed very insignificant. Slowly, the male partner found himself in love with the female lead and began to help her silently. Every time she asked for leave to find her child, he secretly helped her take the shift and begged the boss to ignore it. When she was bullied, he taught the bully a lesson behind her back. When she couldn’t pay the rent, he pretended to encounter difficulties and asked her for help, and then allowed her to delay the rent in returning the favor. In the end, the man knew that the woman ran to the mountain village to find the child by herself. He rushed after her, protected her from being beaten by the villagers, and helped her find ways to save the child. The woman was moved and was finally willing to open her heart to him and told him that when the child was rescued, they would be a family of three.
But the male partner didn’t wait until that day. He went to the village to see the child, and found that the family was going to drown the woman’s child. He rushed to save the child alone, and was besieged by the villagers. He accidentally fell on a sickle and died on the spot. The female lead went crazy and just hired someone to go in and take out his body and child. The villagers did not dare to stop her when they had already killed a person. They couldn’t afford to let the female lead sue them. The Internet also caused a lot of uproar. Finally, the top authorities paid attention to it and sent special police to deal with the matter. They traded a life for the final victory, and the female lead never smiled, turned a blind eye to any suitor, devoted herself to public welfare all her life, and only went to his grave every year on the anniversary of his death to retell the things he had done for her. She knew that she regretted it. She shouldn’t have confined herself to her shell and shouldn’t have responded so late to his love. They never had a chance to be together.
This is an extraordinary love from an ordinary person. From the beginning of the story to the end of the story, it runs through the whole story and plays an extremely important role in the development of the story and the female lead. It also makes the originally tragic story as if it were fleshed out, like a documentary. With a little tragedy at the end, touching the hearts of the audience. This is the most painstaking time that Lan Gui has spent in writing for so many years. After watching it, Xu Zifan put up his thumb and immediately decided to pass it so that the stylist, so they can design and shape it according to the situation of the character.
All the cast members supported his decision, but they felt a little uneasy. They knew Xu Zifan was a great Director, but could he act? Is the acting good? Many directors have made guest appearances in their own movies or in the movies of friends. Not everyone is good in acting. Some of them are very confusing and embarrassing.
As a result, when Xu Zifan entered the scene, they were relieved. Xu Zifan did not lose to Qiao Zixin at all. They even performed on the same stage. Not only the crew, Qiao Zixin was also greatly surprised. The film now has an additional handsome male character, and the overall story is more complete and more appealing. The quality of the whole film has been greatly improved. The whole cast is full of passion. Only when the film is released can all those who question it become fans!
Xu Zifan’s personal life has become busier. He hasn’t forgotten the developments on the Internet. Lin Yan and Liu Jie are busy trying to wash white and pacify fans, helping Qiao Zixin’s side. Xingchen’s Lady Boss is fearless and she disdainfully came out to say that Qiao Zixin has been abandoned. Xu Zifan has been accused of mistreating artists, using Qiao Zixin as a cash cow to crazily consume her fame, packaging her as a pure girl regardless of her wishes, and then leading to the conclusion that everyone has never truly known Qiao Zixin. Who knows what the real Qiao Zixin is like?
Qiao Zixin’s ‘true temperament recordings’, which had been sorted out by fans long ago, played a role at this time. It was all Qiao Zixin’s occasional words in one or two programs, interviews and fan meetings. It was not based on scrips, but her own real thoughts. Together, it can be said that Qiao Zixin is completely different from the image created by Xingchen. She is more attractive. She was completely bound by Xingchen in the past. This made the public feel more distressed about her and expressed their support for her new movie. They hoped that she will return as soon as possible and give more appearances.
During Qiao Zixin’s closed-door filming, her enthusiasm never completely subsided. No agent has ever been able to achieve Xu Zifan’s level, even as a last resort. Digging up one new stem after another to maintain the exposure of an artist. Each time appearing at the right time, not only not boring, but more and more people look forward to this artist to appear soon. When this expectation accumulates to a certain extent, that is when the artists’ works become very popular.
