Chapter 71

The matter with Shu Qi was just a minor episode; the main course was still to come.

Therefore, no one cared about Bai Xiaosheng leaving in a huff. What a scoundrel, the key issue is that you are a scoundrel who is too stupid. If you were to act behind the scenes and make it hard for others to find any evidence, that would be one thing. But to embarrass yourself in front of everyone, that’s just asking for trouble.

At this moment, Director Liu Weiqiang coughed and continued, "Don't let such people ruin our good mood. Let's continue."

A somewhat bald journalist stood up and said, "I am Baili Chuan from the First Weekly. According to the information I received, the two lead actors in this film had some unpleasantness over the theme song. The readers are very concerned about this and want to know if it will affect the filming of the movie."

A film with two equally prominent actors as leads is bound to have some rivalry.

If this is confirmed, it will definitely be a major news story.

And the First Weekly is no ordinary newspaper. It has a deep background, a long history, and has gained widespread attention. In Hong Kong, the First Weekly is quite influential.

What the First Weekly is best at is directly exposing the privacy of celebrities. They have a very professional paparazzi team that follows celebrities around the clock, leaving no stone unturned.

Therefore, many celebrities are very troubled when facing journalists from the First Weekly.

Regarding the dispute over the theme song between Guo Fucheng and Zheng Yijian, ordinary newspaper journalists would not casually reveal such a sore spot.

But Baili Chuan was not afraid. With the First Weekly as his backing, he had no fear of offending Guo Fucheng and Zheng Yijian.

This question made Guo Fucheng and Zheng Yijian very awkward. How should they respond? If they said there was no conflict at all, no one would believe it.

If they said there was a conflict, that was even more impossible.

The movie hasn't even started, and the two lead actors are already at odds. What kind of situation is this? Would a movie produced by such a crew be any good?

Director Liu Weiqiang took over the topic and said, "Nonsense, this is just a rumor, an absolute rumor. Some people are maliciously slandering us. You should know that our movie is an innovative one, and innovation always offends some people."

That's why such rumors have emerged. The theme song 'Fengyun' was actually decided long ago to be sung by Zheng Yijian, and this will not change.

The end credits song 'Jingbian' and two insert songs will be sung by Guo Fucheng.

Both lead actors are excellent actors who hope to work together to produce a good movie. I believe that the two lead actors will not let everyone down."

Such a smooth response did not deter Baili Chuan, who immediately changed the subject, "Mr. Guo Fucheng, this is your first collaboration with Mr. Zheng Yijian. What do you think of Mr. Zheng?"

Guo Fucheng did not expect the journalist to ask such a question. If he were to praise Zheng Yijian, he might as well slap himself. He clearly hated Zheng Yijian to death, so praising him was almost impossible.

In such a situation, with so many journalists present, he could not say anything bad. If he did, the next day, the First Weekly would definitely put the headline 'Lead Actors of 'Fengyun' Clash and Attack Each Other' on the front page of the entertainment section.

After some thought, Guo Fucheng hesitated and said, "What do I think? To be honest, I haven't had much interaction with Yijian. We weren't very close before. But from what I know, he is indeed a very good actor."

Just a moment ago, Baili Chuan was asking about the theme song. In such a situation, when Guo Fucheng said Zheng Yijian was a very good actor, it had a deeper meaning.

It implied that in such a situation, his singing skills were not very good.

At this point, Zheng Yijian was no longer a newcomer and could clearly understand what Guo Fucheng meant.

He was accusing him of not being able to sing. Even at the opening ceremony, Guo Fucheng still stabbed him in the back, playing dirty. This made Zheng Yijian very unhappy.

However, it seemed that Baili Chuan was very considerate of Zheng Yijian's feelings at this moment. So, in such a situation, Baili Chuan immediately said, "Mr. Zheng Yijian, what do you think of Mr. Guo's evaluation? What do you think of your co-star?"

This was stirring up trouble. If the journalist wanted explosive news, this method was very effective.

However, this method was deeply detested by the director. Not everyone dared to use such a method.

Although Liu Weiqiang's face was grim, he knew this was a tactic of the First Weekly. But in such a situation, Liu Weiqiang still hoped that Zheng Yijian would consider the bigger picture.

Unfortunately, Zheng Yijian was not an easy person to deal with. He immediately responded, "I have always admired Mr. Guo. As one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Mr. Guo's songs and dances, especially in the field of dance, are among the best in the industry. There are only a few people who can match him."

This response was not simple either. It was a soft but sharp answer.

He highly praised Guo Fucheng's dancing and singing skills.

But this was a movie. Praising someone's singing and dancing skills implied that Guo Fucheng was not focused on his main job and was just playing around.

Immediately, the atmosphere on the scene became heated. This was solid evidence of the conflict between Guo Fucheng and Zheng Yijian.

While they were all praising each other, they were actually subtly mocking each other.

Baili Chuan got the answer he wanted and happily sat down. He had plenty to write about tomorrow.

Although the two male leads had a conflict at the opening ceremony, they still had to continue filming after the ceremony. But after such an incident, Liu Weiqiang himself was not very confident.

The conflict between Guo Fucheng and Zheng Yijian was much deeper than they imagined.

Once it erupted, it would be quite serious.

However, there was one person who was very unhappy. After returning to the makeup room, Yang Gongru threw her LV handbag onto the vanity table.

Immediately, cosmetics fell to the ground, all world-renowned brands.

But facing the scattered cosmetics, Yang Gongru seemed to feel that she had not vented her anger. She stomped on them fiercely and said, "Ye Ming, that scoundrel. A newcomer, and he dares to offend me. Does he want to ruin his career?"

Ye Ming's small action might have been hard for others to notice, but she, Yang Gongru, was sitting next to Shu Qi.

At that moment, Yang Gongru could clearly feel that Shu Qi was on the verge of breaking down.

If Shu Qi had broken down and done something impolite, that would have been the result Yang Gongru hoped for. She would have been happy if Shu Qi had been kicked out.

Since joining the crew, she had always found Shu Qi very annoying. A female star who started in erotic films was almost on par with her. How could Yang Gongru be happy about that?

But what Yang Gongru never expected was that just as Shu Qi was about to break down, she received a note and immediately calmed down.

It wasn't until Shu Qi finished speaking and turned to leave that Yang Gongru realized that Shu Qi had turned the tables and won. Shu Qi's declaration in front of the media had earned her a lot of points.

On the contrary, Yang Gongru, as a negative example, would naturally be mentioned, but in a bad light.

How could Yang Gongru be happy about this?

It was all because of Ye Ming. Everything was due to Ye Ming's interference. At this moment, thinking of Ye Ming, Yang Gongru was so angry that her teeth ached.

She could clearly feel that the crew was starting to distance themselves from her.

After the makeup, Shu Qi stopped Ye Ming and said very politely, "Mr. Ye, thank you for your help."

Not everyone would lend a hand at that moment, and Shu Qi was very clear about that.

Moreover, her background had indeed caused some resentment among the crew. It was normal that no one stood up to help her.

And Yang Gongru had a strong background, so not many people were willing to offend her for Shu Qi's sake.

Only Ye Ming stood up for her, which was very unexpected for Shu Qi. Therefore, she had to sincerely thank Ye Ming in person.

Ye Ming waved his hand and said, "We are all part of the same crew. Helping each other is only natural, no need to be so formal."

It really wasn't necessary to be so formal, because those words were actually Shu Qi's original words from a previous life. But they were famous words she said after winning the Best Actress award at the Golden Horse Awards and successfully becoming the queen of the film industry.

At that time, she had truly fulfilled her promise, putting back on the clothes she had taken off.

At this moment, Shu Qi wanted to say more but heard Guo Fucheng's agent, Meimei, angrily walk out of the No. 1 makeup room, like a female tyrannosaurus. She was holding a blue wig.
