[170. Above Him]
Cheng Qingxing was slightly stunned and still hadn't reacted. This male lead was actually talking about himself. He himself was a little uncomfortable with it.
Seeing him in a daze, Sun Haojie immediately realized what he was thinking about, walked over and put his hand on his shoulder.
"Don't be nervous, because we're shooting on the mountain and there won't be many people to interview, and those media outlets are too lazy to climb up."
When you think about it this way, it’s true.
Because this is the second time the crew of "Five Nights of Tales" has started filming, and with the previous incident with Bai Hengxi, there will definitely be a lot of people who want to make things difficult for them.
Coming to this mountain to start the machine can actually avoid many of these problems.
"Qingxing, come here." Cheng Zhiyi waved at him, "Arrange the position for the cutting later, you stand here."
Cheng Zhiyi pulled him to the middle and pointed out the surroundings. "You just stand at C, and the others can stand anywhere. There won't be many people who can come up anyway."
Indeed, there are too few people who can come up, and not many people come to cut the ribbon, so just cut it casually.
"I'm serious. Those who can climb up here will succeed in whatever they do." Sun Haojie said with a smile as he looked at the scenery in the distance.
Cheng Qingxing glanced around. Indeed, they came here early in the morning to hold the opening ceremony, and then they would continue to shoot here. This meant that they would be successful in everything they did.
"When will the other staff arrive?" Cheng Qingxing glanced around and saw that most of the people who came were actors, and there were not many staff.
"The rest of the staff will come this afternoon." Cheng Zhiyi smiled and shrugged, "It must be you, the main actors, who will come to start filming. The others can come later."
He understood that Cheng Zhiyi deliberately made them come here to work like slaves and they would be done with it after the work was done.
"I didn't want you to come here originally." Cheng Zhiyi lowered his voice and whispered in his ear, "But Zheng Xuhe required it to be complete, and he didn't want you to be disturbed by that group of ignorant media, so he found a place like this."
Cheng Qingxing didn't say anything. If you asked him to say thank you to Zheng Xuhe, he would definitely not be able to say it. But if you said that you were not touched, you would be lying.
He felt a little complicated, but Cheng Zhiyi continued to whisper in his ear: "Don't feel pressured. You were chosen as the protagonist not because of Zheng Xuhe, but because you are suitable for this role."
Hearing this, Cheng Qingxing smiled inexplicably, nodded, and said sincerely: "Thank you for your recognition."
The opening ceremony began soon.
Director Cheng Zhiyi began to arrange the specific location for the opening ceremony.
He placed Cheng Qingxing in the C position, and the other actors stood in a semicircle around him.
Sun Haojie stood beside Cheng Qingxing and said softly, "Don't be nervous. We're on the mountain, so there won't be many media coming. It's quiet."
There were actually only a few reporters at the scene, and when they saw them lined up, they immediately started taking pictures.
Director Cheng Zhiyi stood in the middle of the crowd, cleared his throat, and began his speech: "Good morning, everyone. Today we are here to hold the opening ceremony of Five Nights of Tales..."
Cheng Qingxing stood in the center, holding a pair of large golden scissors for cutting the ribbon, ready to cut the red ribbon that symbolized the start of filming.
The other actors and staff formed a semicircle, their faces filled with anticipation and smiles.
He took a deep breath, slowly raised the scissors, and cut the red ribbon. The moment the red ribbon fell, warm applause broke out at the scene.
He thought it was over, but the next second, several media outlets surrounded him with microphones.
After all, it’s not easy for him to climb up, so we must catch him and ask questions.
"Mr. Cheng Qingxing, I heard that Five Nights of Strange Stories was an engagement gift from investor Zheng Xuhe to you. Is that true?"
"You are the male lead in this movie. Is it related to the Bai Hengxi incident?"
"Did you deliberately design the Bai Hengxi incident?"
"Why did you record that video? Did you deliberately frame Bai Hengxi?"
“.......”
Although it has been a while since Bai Hengxi's incident, there has been no real result.
Although the video and the police announcement were on Cheng Qingxing's side, many people still doubted his authenticity.
Many people believe that Cheng Qingxing recorded that video intentionally.
Cheng Qingxing looked at them and smiled politely, "What happened to Bai Hengxi must be true, but you can't say that I planned it."
As soon as these words came out, Sun Haojie on the side became a little nervous. He walked over and wanted to wink at him and talk to him, but was stopped by Cheng Qingxing.
He looked at Cheng Qingxing and said in confusion: "I'll help you--"
"I can handle it myself." Cheng Qingxing patted the back of his hand, said very seriously, and then looked at the media again.
"If he really isn't that kind of person, even if I wanted to design it, I probably wouldn't have a video like that." Cheng Qingxing looked at the people present, her beautiful eyes smiling.
The media people taking pictures around didn't say anything, but they didn't stop shooting with their cameras.
"The fact that I was able to film it shows that he really did behave this way." Cheng Qingxing said seriously, "If everyone really thinks I'm lying, is it really possible for me to become the protagonist of Five Nights?"
Someone echoed a few words below, saying that if he really lied and was a fake person, the crew would not choose him to be the male lead.
"Everyone always thinks that I am a bad person with bad behavior," Cheng Qingxing said lightly, "But if I really am that kind of person, Zheng Xuhe will not help me."
"You don't believe in my character, but you can't possibly not believe in his character, right?"
A moment of silence, indeed.
Cheng Qingxing's character is indeed worthless. After all, he is not a big shot, so it is normal for him to do many immoral things.
But Zheng Xuhe's character is actually well-known in the circle.
He has a family background, capital, and strength, and there is no negative news about him in the entertainment industry. Apart from the Cheng Qingxing incident, there is really no big problem.
"I hope everyone can pay more attention to my works and downplay me as a person." Cheng Qingxing bowed to the media present, "In addition to being Zheng Xuhe's ex-wife, I am also a very good actor, an outstanding graduate of the Central Academy of Film, and Cheng Qingxing, who debuted as a child star."
He spoke very sincerely, so no one present objected. They just listened to him quietly.
"I have indeed faded from everyone's sight for a long time, but I have been working hard on acting." Cheng Qingxing took a deep breath, "I have always loved acting, and I don't think I am worse than Zheng Xuhe. He is a very good person, and I hope I can be better than him."
What Cheng Qingxing wanted was never dependence or equal strength, but to be superior to him.
