Chapter 143: Straightforward Speech

As the first notice received since the Qian Muchue incident, the "Zero Distance Dialogue" program crew acted very quickly. After confirming that Qian Muchue's time was available, they arranged a recording for the next day. They planned to broadcast this Saturday, and the original arrangement was postponed.

Accompanied by Huang Qingqing, Qian Muchue arrived at the recording site of "Zero Distance Dialogue" on time. The confidentiality of this trip was done very well, so there was no paparazzi following her along the way.

Before the recording, the program team showed the script to Qian Muchue. This is their usual practice, to inform in advance what topics may be involved in the recording. If there are any taboos on the artists, the program team will try to make adjustments.

The focus of this interview is definitely the conflict between Qian Muchue and her father, which is of concern to the audience. The director was relieved to see that Qian Muchue had no problems after reading the script. After all, Qian Muchue had not responded to this matter. The director was worried that she was unwilling to respond. This is the biggest highlight of this episode. Fortunately, she did not refuse.

"Hello, Teacher Lin." Seeing the host Lin Shu, Qian Muchue greeted him very politely.

Although Qian Muchue is a newcomer, Lin Shu also knows this new generation actress because of the popularity of "Nine-Tailed Fox" and the turmoil in recent days. Although Qian Muchue's qualifications are very shallow, Lin Shu treats her like other guests in the past and does not put on airs.

In the first twenty minutes of the program recording, as usual, they talked about the artists' works first. The only work that Qian Muchue could currently show was "Nine-Tailed Fox". The two chatted about some things about the filming of the crew, and Lin Shu began to ask some more personal questions.

"Mu Xue, everyone knows that you are an outstanding graduate of Finance from University A and have a bright future. Why did you switch careers to become an artist?" Lin Shu asked with a smile.

"Well, it was an opportunity. I discovered that I seemed to have a talent for being an actor. As for why I finally chose to be an entertainer, it was because I felt that a public figure has appeal and it would be easier for me to accomplish certain things." Qian Muchue replied with a smile.

"Is it easier to succeed?" Lin Shu joked with a smile.

The artists that everyone sees are all very successful, but there are more who fail and are not seen by others.

"Well, you can say that, Teacher Lin." Qian Muchue was very good-tempered and did not argue.

"Everyone is paying close attention to what's happening online recently. You haven't responded yet. Can you share your growth experience with everyone?" Lin Shu began to turn the topic to the online Qian Muchue incident.

"Well, actually, it's described in great detail on the Internet. I grew up with my grandmother and was a left-behind child. This should be very normal in some rural areas. The difference is that many parents wanted to go out to work, but I was left behind because I was redundant. This was what I thought when I was a child." Qian Muchue was talking about the original owner's feelings.

"Have you changed your mind now?" Lin Shu continued to ask.

"Well, now I think that no one is redundant. Everyone's existence is meaningful and worthy of being loved. Besides, my grandma has always loved me." Qian Muchue said with a smile.

"I saw an interview online saying that you took your grandmother to the city. Is she living with you now?"

"Well, my work mainly takes me a lot of time in City B. I'm worried about her being alone in her hometown, so grandma lives with me in City B." Qian Muchue said with a smile.

"Your father says you are unfilial and don't support your parents. What do you say to that?"

"Besides me, my father and stepmother have a stepsister two years older than me and a younger brother less than a year younger. They should still be living in the house my biological mother left me. Since they are still supporting my stepsister and brother, it's probably not time for them to be supported. Of course, the law requires support, and I will still fulfill it."

Qian Muchue's words were a bit blunt, unlike the smooth answers of most celebrities. This was the first time that Lin Shu encountered such a situation on the show. The guests who had come before were all old hands in the circle, and they spoke very carefully and would not leave any room for criticism.

"Many netizens think that as a public figure, you should set a role model. Although your parents owe you something, you are living such a good life now. You should let go of the past and be nicer to your parents. What do you think about this?" Lin Shu raised the controversial point of netizens.

"Because I'm a public figure, many of the things I do may have some impact on the audience who follow me. The Qian Muchue incident is not an isolated case. There are many Qian Muchues in this world who have been or are currently being hurt by their biological parents. Some of them may be watching me. If I tell them now that no matter how hard they struggle, no matter how successful they become in the future, they are their parents and they must treat them well, how cruel it would be to these hurt Qian Muchues."

"So, I won't say that," Qian Muchue said firmly, facing the camera. "To all the viewers who have been or are being hurt by their parents like me, you must be brave. It's not your fault that they don't love you. As long as you love yourself and become strong, you can break free from them. Happiness lies ahead. You must be full of courage and move forward."

Lin Shu was shocked by what Qian Muchue said. How could a girl in her early twenties have the courage to say such words in front of the camera?

"Not everything parents do is right, but many children don't know this and end up hating themselves. I'd like to call being a parent the most sacred profession in the world, but because there are no barriers to entry, many unqualified parents are choosing to do so. Their children may be the product of their momentary pleasure, but these young and helpless children have to passively bear the brunt of their pain."

"This is very unfair. It's the parents who made the mistake. There's no reason for a child to spend their entire life trying to save themselves from an unfortunate childhood. So, my point of view is that I should fulfill my obligations as long as it doesn't violate the law. I do have a good life now, but if I had this ability, I would rather use it to help those who are truly in need."

Lin Shu did not interrupt, and Qian Muchue finished speaking completely what she wanted to say. This was her response to everyone.

"I admire your courage to say these words." Lin Shu's words were not a joke, but a sincere one.

If Qian Muchue's remarks today were broadcast, they might be attacked by some diehard elements. There are many foolishly filial people in the world. Although everyone has their own choices, the choices of public figures will be in danger of being attacked.

"I just said that I chose to be an artist because I felt public figures have appeal. Now, I am very grateful that because I am a public figure, I can speak here and let more people with similar experiences see me. I hope that seeing me today will make them full of hope for the future."

The recording of the program "Zero Distance Dialogue" ended perfectly. When leaving, Lin Shu said a lot of encouraging words to the young girl. He sincerely hoped that when the program was broadcast, more netizens would stand on the side of the little girl.
