Once the suspicious target is identified, the verification process begins...
About ten minutes later, Liu Rulan called back.
"I heard that director Tannis is currently preparing for the casting of 'Ford v Ferrari 7,' which will feature an Asian race car driver with excellent driving skills. So, perhaps because your performance in this race was too outstanding, Qin Lezhang mistakenly thought you were there to steal the role."
Liu Rulan guessed.
She had just confirmed this news with Shu Han. Shu Han had heard about it a long time ago and was planning to give it a try, but after waiting for a long time, he still hadn't received an official announcement from director Tannis. Later, Shu Han shifted his focus back to China, and the matter was dropped, so he stopped paying attention to it.
"High-speed car chase?"
Xiao He was somewhat surprised.
There's no other reason than that the fact that the last digit of the name extends to "7" tells us that the previous films in this series must have been very successful—especially the first and second ones.
"Speedy Cars 1" is already more than 20 years old, and if you think about it, it's even a few years older than Xiao He.
This film series is considered a must-see for racing car enthusiasts. Surprisingly, director Tannis successfully broke the curse that "sequels to the original films are bound to be bad." Every subsequent "Ford v Ferrari" film is a very exciting and high-quality work. Although it may not be a masterpiece, it is definitely a popular and commercially successful film. It appears on the overseas recommended film lists of some film bloggers almost every year.
It's quite surprising that they've managed to release a seventh installment.
However, looking at director Tannis's achievements over the years and his cabinet full of international awards, one should know that his life has been very fulfilling and he has few regrets. Now he is filming subjects and content that he likes, and even if the requirements are high and the filming is difficult, he has the time and money to pay attention to the details and make the best film possible.
Such an internationally renowned director is indeed a target that many actors want to work with.
"So now that I think about it, Qin Lezhang was there not to watch the race, but for Director Tannis?"
After his initial surprise, Xiao He was speechless.
No, he doesn't know anything!
Moreover, Director Tannis never even came to him, so why is this guy searching for enemies out of thin air?
Xiao He felt like he was being wronged to death.
"Qin Lezhang is used to being fawned over in China. If someone displeases him, he is very likely to take the initiative to target them."
Liu Rulan spoke the truth.
"So what do we do now? There's no way we're going to apologize."
Xiao He himself was still wronged, so how could he possibly take the initiative to apologize to the other party?
"Who said you had to apologize?" Liu Rulan was also quite speechless. "I'll first find someone to contact the higher-ups at Xingchen Pictures and see what their attitude is."
"Do I need to come back early?"
"No need. I can handle this level of public opinion. Besides, you've been nominated for Best Supporting Actor, so even more people will be watching you."
Even though Xiao He hasn't actively provoked anyone, many people have already secretly added him to their list of rivals.
There's no way around it; on the road to becoming king, you'll always encounter many rivals.
Xiao He: "...Thank you, I'm already trembling with fear."
"Alright, that's all for now. I'm flying to Beijing now. We'll talk later."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao He's face turned completely cold.
He pushed his dinner aside and turned on his computer.
Within half a minute, Xiao He found a video circulating online about him bullying a girl at school.
The video footage was blurry, clearly taken secretly, and the boy with his back to the camera was wearing a somewhat familiar school uniform, kicking the person on the ground repeatedly.
"Damn it, you bitch, you bastard—"
The boy's tone of voice was a bit strange, like he was going through puberty, and at first listen, it really did sound a bit like his own voice.
