The next day.
The press conference for the movie "Sword and Qin" will begin in three hours.
This press conference was not only attended by the main cast and director, but it was also held via online live stream.
Because the TV series is still being filmed, and several actors have been cast in both the movie and TV series, many fans of the actors are watching the live stream, waiting for the director to give an explanation.
In situations like this, fans of several artists are actually reluctant to let their idols get involved in these clashes between the TV series and the movie versions.
Of course, Lin Manqing was an exception.
Lin Manqing is only the second female lead in the TV series. Although the role is suitable, as it is an internally produced drama, Lin Manqing's role as the second female lead is just to make way for Wen Ge. Not only did she want to get close to Wen Ge, but there were also many conflicts between Wen Ge and Lin Manqing before, which were very unpleasant.
The fans here are not happy about this.
Now that Lin Manqing is the female lead in the TV series, her fans are instantly elated and waiting for her to crush Wen Ge.
But Wen Ge's fans were unhappy and joined forces with fans of other second- and third-tier actors to fight against Lin Manqing.
In short, once this press conference begins, fans will fight tooth and nail.
As the director who finalized all of this, Shi Nanhua, also known as Wen Yi, will face a lot of criticism at the press conference.
Are you sure you're ready?
Director Tan Ke continues to press Wen Yi, hoping she will change her mind.
"Actually, you don't have to attend this film press conference; it's unnecessary," Director Tan Ke reminded.
After hesitating for a moment, she still explained to Wen Yi, "They have nowhere to vent their anger. Reporters and fans alike will all come and question you. To create buzz, they might even say some really nasty things. And then..."
I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it.
What the director didn't say was that after all the trouble Wen Ge had caused before, the label of "Wen Ge's sister" was already firmly attached to Wen Yi.
When Wen Yi revealed her identity as Shi Nan Hua, the conflict escalated even further.
Wen Yi remained calm, knowing perfectly well what Director Tan Ke was worried about.
"But the real reason is that the firepower I'm carrying will make the movie version more popular and make the comparison between the TV series and the movie version more interesting."
The interviewer frowned. "That's true, but... can you really handle it?"
After much hesitation, I still asked the question.
I didn't ask before because I was afraid that asking this question so directly would hurt Wen Yi's self-esteem.
But since things have come to this point, Director Tanke still needs to make things clear and remind Wen Yi.
"Then I won't participate," Wen Yi suddenly said.
The director, who was still preparing his speech, suddenly froze. "You, you...aren't you going to participate?"
"Yes, the director has been trying to persuade me and is worried about me. In that case, I won't attend this press conference, and the director won't need to worry about me."
Director Tan was completely dumbfounded, and almost blurted out, "But, but we've had meetings for days, discussing the arrangements for your participation, some important clues, and the male lead's situation..."
"Yes, we've been meeting to discuss these things, all for tonight's press conference. If I don't attend, all of this discussion will be for nothing."
"With less than two hours left before the press conference, can Director Tanke hold a meeting in such a short time to come up with a better solution and explain to the fans and reporters who are waiting at the venue and in the live broadcast room why Director Shi Nanhua, who was supposed to attend, is not attending?"
"This, I..." Director Tan Ke was speechless when Wen Yi asked him.
"People will say that Shi Nan Hua is a coward. He dares to do things but not to admit them. He doesn't even have the courage to face his fans, let alone have the ability to make a good movie. It's better not to watch this movie."
"This movie has been getting a lot of negative reviews, and it's already expected to get a 3.0 rating on Douban before it's even released."
Wen Yi laughed self-deprecatingly.
Her words left the director speechless, unable to respond at all.
He was very worried that Wen Yi would not be able to withstand the barrage of fire.
But she was also worried about what Wen Yi had said: if she didn't attend, the press conference tonight would definitely fall apart, and the situation would become even more uncontrollable.
At this moment, a staff member came over to remind Wen Yi and the guest that they should start preparing their makeup.
Wen Yi patted Director Tan Ke on the shoulder. "Director, I'm not as fragile as you think. I've spent a lot of time on set over the years. I've never gotten to where I am today because of pure luck or having benefactors."
She made it all on her own, step by step.
It was all achieved through trial and error, step by step.
The doubts, insults, and hardships I've endured far outweigh this small press conference.
What kind of press conference is this?
Wen Yi chuckled lightly, then turned and left.
Director Tan Ke stood there watching Wen Yi leave, feeling bitter and unsure of what adjective to use to describe his current feelings.
All I can say is that Wen Yi is a girl who surpasses his imagination, strong and transcends everything.
He thought that Wen Yi would give a satisfactory answer at tonight's press conference.
