Chapter 603 Something Happened
Everyone present was stunned by this sudden turn of events, staring wide-eyed at the two of them in disbelief.
Many media reporters have even started drafting their reports in advance.
"Sci-fi film seeks new projects, director and producer reportedly get into a physical altercation, raising suspicions of discord?"
Popular actress Ye Wanxi joins sci-fi blockbuster; director and producer vie for her attention?
Shocking! Two renowned directors got into a physical fight at the film's launch press conference—all over her?
Qi Yingxuan was suddenly hit and was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted. He looked down at the ground and found that the person who attacked him was an empty plastic mineral water bottle.
Then, seeing his old classmate sitting on the other side of his junior sister, glaring at him menacingly, he immediately exploded: "Fatty Chen, you ambushed me again!"
When Chen Debang heard Qi Yingxuan call him by his nickname in front of so many people, he exploded: "Pah! Who attacked you? I'm doing this on behalf of Heaven! And how many times have I told you not to call me Fatty? You bastard, can't you understand human language?!"
As their insults escalated, the two started fighting each other, grabbing various items from the table. Caught between them, Ye Wanxi wisely pushed her chair back three steps to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
This dramatic scene left the reporters completely dumbfounded, and they even forgot how to prepare their speeches.
Everyone just watched as the two fought for a full two minutes. The reason they only fought for two minutes was because there was nothing else on their table for them to continue their rampage, except for the microphone with the cord attached.
Qi Yingxuan, however, acted rashly and even tried to attack the microphone.
At the crucial moment, Ye Wanxi's cough successfully saved the poor microphone.
Upon hearing this cough, the two, who were already hot-tempered, felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads, and they froze.
The two quickly pulled out their chairs, sat back in their original positions, and pretended nothing had happened.
Everyone: "..." Do you really need to deceive yourselves like this? Don't you know there's such a thing as a camera?
Everyone complained in their hearts, but no one dared to say it out loud. They could only watch helplessly as the two of them tried to cover up the truth.
However, the fact that they dare not express their opinions does not mean that someone else does not dare to either.
Ye Wanxi glanced at the mess on the ground, then looked at the two of them with an ambiguous expression: "Hmm?"
Before the crowd below could understand what Ye Wanxi meant, they saw the two of them stiffen slightly, then stand up at the same time and turn around... to pick up their things!
The things I threw away two minutes ago are the tears I'm shedding now.
The two quickly put everything back together, heads bowed, like elementary school students caught doing something wrong by their homeroom teacher.
Ye Wanxi watched as the two cleaned up the mess, then smiled at the many reporters below: "I'm sorry for making you all laugh."
Reporters: "..." They dared not laugh!
This must be the most bizarre press conference these seasoned journalists have ever attended.
It was bad enough that the director, assistant director, and producer got into a fight on the spot, but in the end, it was a female actress with only a small role who managed to subdue them.
The most bizarre thing is that in other production crews, such a situation would probably have been interpreted as someone having a close relationship with the crew's higher-ups and using underhanded tactics to get ahead, thus prompting some main characters to jump out and make sarcastic remarks and subtly attack each other to make their presence known.
The result was... absolutely nothing!
No actor dared to cause trouble at this moment. Everyone stared at the three of them with an air of indifference. Some actors even looked at Ye Wanxi with admiration, as if they admired her ability to keep the two of them completely under her thumb.
Reporters: "..." This is unbelievable!
The two directors, young and impetuous, displayed a ruthless nature that left a considerable psychological scar on the reporters present.
The reporter who initially asked about bringing his own funding to the production team felt that the two men were giving him unusually many unfriendly glances.
I seriously doubt that if I get home late, I might get a beating from someone who secretly puts a sack over my head.
With such concerns in mind, the subsequent Q&A session proceeded exceptionally smoothly and harmoniously.
The production team originally didn't plan to give the reporters much time. After some back and forth, the segment finally ended. Some staff members went to see the reporters off, while the director and actors went straight to the set to start filming.
Everyone thought the matter was over, but no one expected that as the reporters were about to leave, a man wearing a black baseball cap and with his head slightly lowered walked against the flow of people in a very directional way toward Ye Wanxi and the others.
Ye Wanxi sensed danger the moment the person approached. Without thinking, she ripped off the tablecloth covering the table.
At the same time, the man suddenly pulled a glass bottle out of his bag, untied the bottle cap, and splashed it at Ye Wanxi.
Everything happened so suddenly that everyone except Ye Wanxi herself was caught off guard.
A scream rang out, and the huge velvet tablecloth was lifted and shaken forward like a pancake, catching all the spilled liquid like dumplings before falling to the ground.
hiss--
The sound of the liquid corroding the fabric, along with the strange smell it produced, forcefully reached everyone's ears and noses, making them clearly aware of what was inside the man's glass bottle.
"Ah...it's sulfuric acid, sulfuric acid!" Several actresses who were close to Ye Wanxi turned pale with fright and screamed repeatedly.
It's no wonder they reacted so strongly. Although this man was targeting Ye Wanxi, his attack was completely indiscriminate when he splashed her.
If a large bottle of sulfuric acid were poured on her, Ye Wanxi, who was directly injured, would either die or become a grotesque mess. And these girls would suffer the same fate; nine out of ten would be disfigured.
Others who were further away were also still shaken.
Sulfuric acid is a biological weapon; anyone who touches it will suffer severe burns. Not to mention celebrities who rely on their looks for a living, even ordinary people would go crazy if they had a layer of skin torn off their skin.
The man never expected that his seemingly foolproof plan would have such a flaw.
Ye Wanxi was unharmed when a large bottle of sulfuric acid was thrown at her. He immediately tried to repeat the same trick, but Ye Wanxi and Qi Yingxuan would not give him the chance.
The two men acted simultaneously, each dislocating one of his arms and effortlessly pinning him to the ground.
The nearby security personnel also reacted quickly and rushed over to help.
Chen Debang immediately called the police and filed a case.
The man was pinned to the ground, and his mask came off as he struggled, revealing his face.
Surprisingly, this was a young man who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old!
He was restrained, his eyes fixed on Ye Wanxi, filled with venomous hatred: "Bitch! Slut! You bullied my darling, stole her resources, and caused her to be blacklisted. You think you're so great just because you can seduce people? You trash, bastard..."
