Chapter 70

There are those who oppose, and naturally, there are those who support. No matter what, Lü Xiang is still a recipient of the Young Director Award, and he does have his own qualities.

What kind of news attracts the most attention? Scandals, yes, scandals. But how can a scandal between two people be as explosive as a love triangle?

Tang Feng and Dong Bingbing are high school alumni, Lü Xiang and Dong Bingbing are college alumni. The scandal between Tang Feng and Dong Bingbing is no longer a novelty, but Lü Xiang suddenly emerged, criticizing Tang Feng harshly and devaluing him to nothing, while at the same time inviting Dong Bingbing to participate in his micro-film.

The media, like chickens injected with adrenaline, began to dig into Lü Xiang's background. Lü Xiang had once pursued Dong Bingbing fervently in college, but unfortunately, the king of Xiang had intentions, but the goddess had none. Previously, Tang Feng's song "Miss Dong" was revealed to be based on Dong Bingbing. Although neither Tang Feng nor Dong Bingbing had ever admitted it, they were undoubtedly high school alumni, and Dong Bingbing had acknowledged that they knew each other.

One is Tang Feng, the newly crowned musical prodigy, another is Lü Xiang, the recipient of the Young Director Award, and the third is Dong Bingbing, the newly crowned Best Actress. It seems a battle for the goddess is about to unfold.

During an interview, Lü Xiang extended an invitation to Dong Bingbing, while she had already expressed her intention to join Tang Feng's web series. This became another point of interest, and the question of which side the female lead Dong Bingbing would choose became a hot topic of discussion.

Of course, there were many who opposed Lü Xiang's criticism of Tang Feng, but there were also many supporters. In fact, when Tang Feng first saw the interview video, his first reaction was not anger, but a bitter smile. Clearly, Lü Xiang had nothing to do with him, but because of Dong Bingbing, this guy had launched an attack on him. Tang Feng admitted that some of his jokes were vulgar, but what did that have to do with Lü Xiang? How could he drag his character into it?

Tang Feng knew nothing about Lü Xiang, so he specifically searched for his background.

Only then did he realize who Lü Xiang was. If Tang Feng was a grassroots sensation who became famous overnight, then Lü Xiang was a legitimate figure in the entertainment industry, a graduate of the Beijing Film Academy's directing program, a recipient of the Young Director Award, and hailed as a leading figure among the new generation of young directors.

However, after watching some of Lü Xiang's previous works, Tang Feng was both amused and angry. "A blacksmith must be strong himself," but this guy, what kind of stuff did he shoot? If you put it nicely, they were art films; if you put it bluntly, they were pornographic. How could such a person have the nerve to call him vulgar? It was like the official allowing the fire but not the commoner lighting a lamp.

Tang Feng was very clear about why Lü Xiang was criticizing him, and many others understood as well. It was all to belittle Tang Feng, and the root cause was still Dong Bingbing. To put it bluntly, he was jealous of Tang Feng.

Tang Feng despised such people. If he couldn't win Dong Bingbing's heart, why take it out on him? Did he think Tang Feng was made of clay?

Being criticized so mindlessly, Tang Feng couldn't say he wasn't angry. If he really had something with Dong Bingbing, he might not have been so angry, but apparently, he and Dong Bingbing had no such relationship, making this a case of unjustified disaster.

Tang Feng hadn't yet figured out how to "fight" back when his phone rang.

"It's me!" a familiar voice came from the receiver.

"Is there something?" Tang Feng asked.

Tang Feng's tone made Dong Bingbing furious on the other end. Was this guy so unwilling to see her?

"The matter with Lü Xiang is because of me, you don't need to worry about it, I'll handle it!" Dong Bingbing said coldly and hung up.

Tang Feng shook his head helplessly, but he put aside his initial plan to refute Lü Xiang on WeChat, as he was extremely curious about what Dong Bingbing would do.

In fact, while Lü Xiang's words annoyed Tang Feng's fans, a part of Dong Bingbing's fans supported him. In their view, a goddess is a goddess, and being aloof is the proper demeanor for a goddess. A song like "Fearless" was not suitable for a goddess.

And the idea of a goddess not making movies but instead shooting web series was incomprehensible. In their view, a goddess should be high-class and sophisticated. Otherwise, what kind of goddess would she be?

As for "Mr. Loser," the name alone suggested it wouldn't be a serious drama. Indeed, from the requirements in Tang Feng's live interview, it was clear that the series was not suitable for Dong Bingbing.

Amidst the heated online discussions, Dong Bingbing, who had been out of the public eye, suddenly announced through her agent that she would hold a press conference to respond to recent events.

Naturally, the journalists, like chickens injected with adrenaline, flocked to the scene. Whether it was Lü Xiang or Tang Feng, they were not in the same league as Dong Bingbing, the absolute leading lady.

When Dong Bingbing appeared, the flashbulbs went off non-stop, and the journalists surged forward. Fortunately, the security guards held them back; otherwise, they would have shoved their microphones into her mouth.

"Miss Dong, which one will you choose, Lü Xiang or Tang Feng?"

"What do you think about Lü Xiang's criticism that Tang Feng doesn't deserve the title of musical prodigy and that his talk show is vulgar?"

"How will you respond to Lü Xiang's invitation? Will you abandon Tang Feng's web series or reject Lü Xiang?"

"Rumors say that Lü Xiang's criticism of Tang Feng is due to jealousy..."

"Miss Dong, is this major change you're making to promote Tang Feng's new series?"

"Please..."

Undoubtedly, the relationship between Dong Bingbing, Tang Feng, and Lü Xiang was the most concerning issue for everyone.

"Everyone, please calm down! One question per journalist..."

"Mr. Journalist!" Cao Yang pointed to a reporter from Youdou Entertainment.

"What do you think about Lü Xiang's criticism that Tang Feng doesn't deserve the title of musical prodigy and that his talk show is vulgar?"

"The title of musical prodigy was given to Tang Feng by the media, wasn't it? Shouldn't you, as non-musicians, be more aware of this? As for the vulgarity of the talk show, I remember Lü Xiang's films were also criticized as pornographic and vulgar. I don't think he has the right to criticize others. Next!"

"When Director Lü Xiang said in an interview that Tang Feng's vulgar web series is not suitable for you and invited you to his new film, what do you think? Will you choose Tang Feng or Lü Xiang?" a reporter asked.

Dong Bingbing, naturally, wouldn't fall for the trap of word games.

"I can only say that I don't know him well, and he has no right to comment on my choices. As for his invitation to his new film, I'm sorry, I'm not a porn star!"

Dong Bingbing's last sentence made the journalists' eyes light up. Not a porn star? The meaning was clear. Combined with her previous comments, the criticism of Lü Xiang's films as pornographic and vulgar, and her final statement, the message was obvious: Lü Xiang's films were all pornographic and vulgar.
