Chapter 77: Incompatible
The investor saw the public opinion online and found Director Hong first, wondering what to do?
Director Hong was puzzled: "What should we do?"
Investor: "Not only did Han Qi's film premiere first, but it was also a terrible film, which also has an impact on us!"
Director Hong didn't care at all: "It's none of my business if he shoots badly! I just need to shoot my own film well. I believe the audience has sharp eyes and can tell whether someone puts in enough effort or not. What's the point of you getting anxious now? If you are really worried, you can just find a good post-production company and invest more money. Don't just make a cheap special effect when the time comes."
When investors saw that Director Hong was so steady, their anxiety was relieved a lot. At the same time, they also thought that Director Hong's films had a good reputation and the investors should not be greatly affected.
Although Director Hong assured the investors and said that he didn't care, he became even stricter when he returned to the set, especially towards Lu Yuqi.
"I'm telling you, people on the internet are saying that I recruited you. Even though it's fake, you have to live up to what they say! If you don't act well, it will ruin my reputation!"
"Director Hong, if you tell me what's wrong, I'll change it right away."
"Well, let me give you a shot of prevention first."
More and more netizens were criticizing Han Qi online, and the leading actors were also criticized one by one. Soon, someone pointed out that the script Han Qi mentioned was picked up by a big director, and the actor who was poached was Lu Yuqi, who was currently filming "Nine Skies Soaring to the Sky" by Director Hong. Many paparazzi began to rush to the film and television city.
Lu Yuqi found that there were many more people on the road during filming recently, not only fans and paparazzi with guns and cannons, but also many drones hovering in the sky during filming. These made Director Hong angry. Based on the principle that the plot cannot be leaked, Director Hong tried to take down all the drones flying over the crew.
Some of them came to complain and were not convinced. That was perfect. Director Hong asked them why they placed a drone above the crew and whether it was intentional. So we found out that the crew was filming, so why didn't they fly away?
Director Hong hired lawyers to resolve each and every issue. Director Hong also made a statement on Big Eyes Boy that if any bad media uses improper means to disturb him or the crew members and delay the progress, he will use the law to protect his rights. To serve as a warning to others, none of the paparazzi who were caught using drones on the crew escaped and were all sued by Director Hong.
Fans left comments below: [Director Hong is so domineering! 】
Many good people also left messages on Director Hong’s Big Eyes asking: [Did you poach Lu Yuqi? 】
These people also ran to Lu Yuqi's big-eyed face and asked: "Were you recruited by Director Hong?" 】
[Do you think Director Han looked down on him, so you went to Director Hong's crew? 】
[I misjudged you. You are such a treacherous and ungrateful person.] 】
The internet trolls began to leave messages on Lu Yuqi's Big Eyes, saying that he chose Director Hong because he looked down on Han Qi's crew. Lu Yuqi's fans also explained below that this was not the case at all.
There is no such arrangement at all.
The fan leaders in Lu Yuqi’s big fan group were also discussing what to do.
"This matter is obviously a deliberate smear campaign by hired trolls!"
"That's right! We shouldn't pay attention to them in this kind of situation. The more we pay attention to them, the more excited they become!"
"But are we just going to watch them throw dirty water on our brother? It makes me angry!"
"Contact the assistant and ask him. Let's also appease the other fans."
Xiao Chen not only kept an eye on the information on Big Eyed Boy, but also paid attention to the information in the fan group: "Don't worry, Brother Liu has his own arrangements."
"Assistant Chen still responds so quickly!"
"What has your brother been doing lately?"
"Brother Lu is working hard on the set. This is a recent photo."
Xiao Chen found some photos of Lu Yuqi that he took on weekdays and posted them in the fan group, which was also a blessing for fans.
Profit.
"Wow! So handsome!"
"My son seems to have lost weight!"
"Take good care of your brother!"
A wealthy fan in the group directly transferred money to Xiao Chen in the group, asking Xiao Chen to buy some delicious food for Lu Yuqi. However, Xiao Chen did not accept it, but just said that he would tell Lu Yuqi the fans' intentions.
Liu Jiahe directly logged into Lu Yuqi's Big Eyes account and posted a message saying: The online rumors that he accepted director Han Qi's invitation and was poached by director Hong are groundless, and there is no contract. There is also an individual who has spread false information online through a marketing account. He will use the law to protect himself and has sent a lawyer's letter to each person.
Lu Yuqi's fans also liked and forwarded the false news, because once the number of forwarding reaches the upper limit, it cannot be cancelled, which leaves clear evidence.
The paparazzi who were waiting in the crew, when they saw that Lu Yuqi was serious and not just sending a lawyer's letter to scare people, left immediately and no longer surrounded Director Hong's crew, leaving the crew in peace.
"Am I implicated by Director Hong again?" The last time the Jin Ling Jing crew picked on him, they were targeting him again this time. Lu Yuqi thought of this accidentally when she was having a video call with Shang Yi in the evening.
"Are Director Hong and I not compatible?"
"Why are you still so superstitious?"
"We've cooperated twice, and you've slandered me twice." Lu Yuqi muttered softly.
"Then I won't film Director Hong's movie next time."
"Oh... I'm still a little reluctant, and Brother Liu won't agree."
"That means you are popular, otherwise why would we criticize you?"
"Yeah, that's right."
Xiao Chen curled his lips as he looked at Lu Yuqi, who was smiling silly while making a video call on her mobile phone.
Love makes people stupid!
Until the entire story of Jiu Xiao Ling Yun was filmed, nothing else happened and it ended smoothly!
As usual, Lu Yuqi took a few days off and spent time with Shang Yi at home to express their longing for each other. Liu Jiahe also arranged new work for her.
"Dance variety show?"
"Yes, Dance 1+1. This variety show is mainly about introducing various dances to the public."
"So am I a permanent resident or a flying guest?"
"It's up to you, whatever you want."
"Either is fine? It's my choice!"
"Well, there haven't been any good scripts recently. I think this variety show is pretty good. If you're interested, you can be a regular guest. Each episode will have a different dance theme. Aren't you a good dancer?"
"I'm not a professional either! Who are the guests?"
“That’s not certain yet.”
Lu Yuqi knows that he can't just keep filming, he also needs some exposure to maintain his popularity, and variety shows are the best choice.
"Okay then. Since there aren't any good scripts lately, I'll accept this variety show."
"Ok, I'll contact you."
The first recording of Dance 1+1 began soon. This time the recording site was chosen at a famous dance academy in City B. In addition to Lu Yuqi, the permanent guests include actors Jin Qianer, Ji Xiangtong, YS1 member: Ning Ning, and new generation actor: Wu Xia.
Actress Jin Qianer learned folk dance since elementary school and graduated from the Film Academy. Ji Xiangtong graduated from the B City Dance Academy and won many dance competition championships while at school. Ningning, like Lu Yuqi, is the main dancer of the team and has not received systematic training in professional dance knowledge. Wu Xia is currently a college student at the B City Dance Academy. The dance she performed at the school anniversary celebration is still circulating on the Internet.
