Chapter 76 The movie failed. "Put on some clothes."
"Xiao Min, why are everyone whispering suddenly?" He Yan's makeup was halfway done when the makeup artist felt sick and went to the bathroom. He looked at the people around him boredly and asked Huang Min in a low voice.
Huang Min was also scrolling through her phone in shock. "Brother Yan, go to Weibo and watch the gossip. Remember to use a fake account!"
He Yan was stunned for a moment, then he opened Weibo and logged into his secondary account. On the entertainment hot search list, he saw three consecutive capital letters of the word "explosion".
#Zhang Panpan exposed Guan Hongxin's affair with prostitutes and drug abuse during pregnancy
#Guan Hongxin Police Report
#Guan Hongxin and Zhang Panpan divorce
He Yan was completely dumbfounded.
Guan Hongxin, 42 years old this year, has regular features and a charming demeanor. He Yan has always had the impression that he is an artist-actor with good acting skills and a good reputation, with extensive experience and a kind and friendly attitude towards others.
His wife Zhang Panpan was also a famous actress a few years ago, specializing in TV dramas. After getting married and having children, she faded out of the entertainment industry and rarely appeared in the audience's field of vision.
The last time Guan Hongxin's name was mentioned was because Zhu Shengting had collaborated with him on that movie. Zhu Shengting also occasionally mentioned this senior to him, saying that Guan Hongxin was indeed a reputable veteran actor, a good person, and had also taught him some different acting skills and methods.
He is such a successful man with a successful career and family, but I didn't expect that he would have such bad deeds in private...
He Yan clicked on the first entry, and the first popular one was Zhang Panpan’s Weibo.
[Zhang Panpan herself: After ten years of marriage, I hate myself for only discovering your hideous truth six months ago.]
Zhang Panpan compiled eight pictures of evidence and heart-wrenching text output, all of which proved that Guan Hongxin had done these things over the years. The last one was her lawyer's letter filing for divorce.
Zhang Panpan herself is also very smart. She did not make a fuss when she first discovered the clues. After digging out the evidence, she maintained the status quo. After all the testimony was foolproof, she dealt Guan Hongxin a fatal blow.
Guan Hongxin's team had no time to react when they received the police investigation notice.
After looking at these pictures as evidence, He Yan sincerely admired Zhang Panpan's courage and tenacity. She was able to remain calm and composed and find evidence step by step after discovering that the person next to her was such a demon.
Netizens were equally surprised and angry about this matter.
This is too much... I used to feel bad that Kwan Hung-sun didn't win Best Actor, but now it's completely God's will, he deserves it.
[She actually started whoring before we got married. She's been whoring for over a decade. I'm spitting out all the rotten cucumbers.]
[Sister Panpan needs to go to the hospital for a checkup. She's been taking drugs for the past six months. It's horrible... If we dig deeper, we might also be gambling.]
[Of course! Pornography, gambling, and drugs are inseparable [vomit]]
[I'm really about to cry. Sister Panpan used to be a really good actress, but she retired for her family, and this is the result...]
[Support me to come back and film again! Build up my career!]
[The police have issued a notice... So, will he be banned?]
Absolutely. Damn, I used to watch that period drama he starred in, "Forty-Four Years of Spring," and it was great with my meals. Now seeing his face makes me want to throw up. I want to vomit all the food I ate before.
[Will those old dramas and movies be removed? It really is a case of one bad apple spoiling the whole pot of porridge...]
Guan Hongxin, you're really dead! I was waiting to see Chen Xuxin's film "Lingnan Wushuang." Damn, you're really dead now! I really want to chop this bastard to death!
[Damn... This movie just wrapped, I really hate it. Guan Hongxin deserves death... How much effort has been wasted.]
When He Yan saw this, his heart skipped a beat and sank. He suddenly realized something and was about to send a message to Zhu Shengting when he was interrupted by the makeup artist who came back.
"Sorry, Teacher He, let's continue." The makeup artist quickly picked up the tools again.
He Yan had no choice but to turn off his phone worriedly, not daring to delay the crew's progress, and closed his eyes.

"Brother Ting..." Zhan Ming looked at Zhu Shengting in a panic, "What should we do?"
Zhu Shengting had just finished a brand event and saw the news on the hot search in the car.
"No one expected this kind of thing. We can only wait for the decision from the crew. As for whether to replace actors and reshoot or use face-swapping, it all depends on Director Chen Xu's opinion." Zhu Shengting felt like a stone was pressing on his heart, and he was a little breathless.
Frankly speaking, in his opinion, "Lingnan Wushuang" has a very high possibility of winning various awards. The script and filming are both excellent. Such a work that all the main creators have exhausted their efforts suddenly encountered such a bad incident, which not only caught everyone off guard, but also caused serious losses.
It is true that you can judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart.
"Go contact Zhu Lao and ask him what the crew is thinking now and what their subsequent plans are." Zhu Shengting clasped his hands together and spoke in a deep voice.
After all, it was not convenient for him to ask in person, and it would be impolite for his assistant to ask, so it would be most appropriate for Zhu Liao to contact him.
"Okay, okay." Zhan Ming hurried to call Zhu Liao. He had forgotten about this in his haste.
"Hello, Brother Zhu Liao." Zhan Ming dialed the number and turned on the speaker so that Zhu Shengting could also hear it.
"That matter of 'Lingnan Wushuang'..."
"Hey, Xiao Zhan, I just saw this trending search and knew about it. I contacted the crew right away, but the producer told me the truth. The previous investors withdrew their investment after finding out... because they felt that the actor in the movie had been in trouble, and they felt it was bad luck. This movie has no chance of survival. You know, these investors are superstitious, so this movie... I think it's really going to die. I heard that the producer also wants to run away. As for Chen Xu, he has a stubborn temper. Even after Guan Hongxin had such an incident, he still feels that no male actor can be competent for this role. What about acting skills and personal ethics? The key is that this personal ethics is too... Oh, what can we do?"
Zhu Lao's tone was also very anxious. He paused and sighed after every few words. It could be heard that he was also annoyed by this matter.
"Xiao Zhan, tell Xiao Zhu to have a good rest and stop thinking about it. After all, there's nothing we can do about it. Whether we're willing to continue promoting this movie is not up to us now. It depends on whether there are any investors willing to take it on and whether Chen Xu is willing to replace him. I'm also reading new scripts. If I find a good one, I'll notify him to audition."
Zhan Ming still frowned, "Okay, thank you, Brother Zhu Liao."
"Okay, I have something to do here, so I'll hang up first." After Zhan Ming hung up the phone, the room fell into silence.
Zhu Shengting took two deep breaths and patted Zhan Ming on the shoulder. "Forget it, just like he said, there's no point in worrying. Let's go back to the hotel and rest first."
Zhan Ming nodded, relaxed his nerves, and glanced at his schedule before mumbling a few words, "The day after tomorrow and next Wednesday I have brand promotional events. I wonder when other work will be brought up..."
"The event next Wednesday is in Chang City, right?" Zhu Shengting asked.
"Yes, Brother Ting, we can stay in Changshi for two days to rest." Zhan Ming touched the back of his head.
Changshi is not too far from Seoul, so I should have a chance to meet He Yan.
"Brother Zhu Liao hasn't informed me of the schedule for the week after next." Zhan Ming frowned slightly.
Zhu Shengting had to make time the week after next to accompany Song Zhimeng to the hospital in the United States. He felt uneasy if he didn't go in person. Since his work schedule hadn't been arranged yet, he could just tell Zhan Ming in advance, "Please help me clear at least four days that week. There's something very important going on at home that week."
Zhan Ming was stunned for a moment. He didn't know much about Zhu Shengting's family situation. Zhu Shengting rarely talked about such matters, but he was also very tactful and didn't ask any more questions. "Okay, Brother Ting."

He Yan plays a professional tattoo artist in "Prisoners", a role he has never been involved in before.
Since his role as the third male lead is not very tight, he would set aside two hours after each day's filming to learn some tattoo knowledge from the professional tattoo teacher arranged by the crew and understand some of the special habits of tattoo artists, so that he can better integrate into the role.
As he was learning today, something suddenly occurred to him, and he blurted out a question to the tattoo artist, "Teacher, which parts of the body would be least painful to tattoo?"
The tattoo artist was stunned for a moment. In fact, this question was very simple, but he still gave He Yan a detailed answer. He Yan nodded and did not ask any more questions. He continued to listen to the tattoo artist's explanation.
The director of this drama, Sun Chengzhi, is also a very strict director. He is very particular about details and has high requirements for actors. His private personality is not as friendly as Xia Hui.
He Yan clearly felt that the pressure in this crew was greater than when he was filming "When the Rain Comes", so he was on edge during the filming and could only relax after studying at the end of the day.
After removing his makeup, he fell asleep on the way back to the hotel and was not woken up by Huang Min until he arrived at his destination.
He Yan returned to his room sleepily. After washing up, he felt much more awake and not as sleepy anymore.
He suddenly remembered that he wanted to call Zhu Shengting this morning but was interrupted. He wanted to send him a message now, but it turned out that Zhu Shengting had sent the message right away.
Sheng Ting: Have you returned to the hotel?
He Yan made a video call to him directly.
He waited for more than ten seconds before he was picked up. He was just about to ask Zhu Shengting what he was doing just now.
The next second, a large area of... white muscles appeared on the screen. The camera raised up, revealing Zhu Shengting's face with wet hair.
He Yan's ears suddenly turned red, his eyes flickered, and he swallowed hard, "You... were taking a shower just now."
Zhu Shengting didn't think anything was wrong and nodded on the screen, "I just finished washing. Wait for me a moment."
After saying that, Zhu Shengting placed the camera in front of the sink, revealing his entire upper body covered only with a bath towel, and he began to wash his face nonchalantly.
He Yan just stared at the screen and looked at the person to his heart's content.
The more I watch, the more I feel that Zhu Shengting did it on purpose.
"Put on some clothes." He couldn't help but spoke after Zhu Shengting washed his face.
Zhu Shengting chuckled softly, "Okay."
He turned around and put on his bathrobe. He Yan looked at the naked skin on the screen and felt a little sorry that it was covered.
"About the movie 'Lingnan Wushuang'..." He Yan shook off the obscene garbage in his mind and talked about the business in a tactful manner.
Zhu Shengting spoke in a steady tone, seemingly not too worried about the incident. "It's likely to fail. The investors have withdrawn their investment, and Chen Xu doesn't really want to replace him."
Although he was mentally prepared, He Yan still felt like he was hit by a stick when he heard the result.
Zhu Shengting saw the pain in his eyes and said, "It's okay, baby. No one expected this to happen."
He Yan was helpless. He cursed Guan Hongxin several times in his heart. If he wasn't such a beast in disguise, none of these things would have happened.
"You should have a good rest. You must have been very busy recently. I heard that Director Sun Chengzhi is as strict as Director Chen Xu." Zhu Shengting changed the subject.
He Yan was no longer as calm and composed as he was in front of others during the day. He showed a slightly annoyed expression in front of Zhu Shengting. "It's strict, but I can accept it. What about you? What are your future work arrangements?"
"There will be a notice going to Chang City next week. Are you free on the weekend? I can come to see you." Zhu Shengting asked.
He Yan's eyes lit up when he heard that, but then dimmed again. "I'm probably very busy these days... Forget it, don't make another trip. It's too tiring. Anyway, I won't be filming this drama for long. I'll go back to North City to find you then."
Zhu Shengting wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed it back. "Okay, the weather is going to get colder soon, so remember to put on more clothes and don't catch a cold."
He Yan nodded obediently, his face suddenly reddened, "Oh, by the way, Zhu Shengting, I'll give you a surprise when I come back."
Zhu Shengting blinked and said coaxingly, "What surprise?"
"It won't be a surprise if I tell you. You'll know when the time comes."
