Chapter 863 Fu Nian'an steps in to protect his wife
Before Fu Nian'an even returned to the film crew, rumors about Le Yan committing suicide by jumping into the sea had already spread online.
Huanxing intervened immediately, but Leyan's popularity was too high, and no matter how fast Huanxing acted, it was still impossible to completely cover up the news.
Marketing accounts are trying to use Le Yan to create hype, and netizens are also going crazy over the gossip. Some even went to Le Yan's Weibo to ask her to come forward and explain.
Although the fans immediately came forward to defend their idol, the rumors such as "Le Yan committed suicide by jumping into the sea" and "Le Yan's fate is unknown" continued to rise in popularity in less than half a day because some marketing accounts were deliberately stirring up trouble and Le Yan herself did not come forward to prove her innocence.
Fu Nian'an received a call from Shen Qingshu on the way.
This incident has alarmed the entire Fu family.
Even Wen Songyi sent Fu Nian'an several WeChat messages.
Fu Nian'an told them that Le Yan was out of danger and reassured her family.
Now that he's here, he won't let Le Yan suffer any more grievances.
As for those who plotted against and framed Le Yan, he will take care of them himself.
Yu Changze had already given immediate instructions last night to completely block the news of Le Yan falling into the sea.
The entire crew consisted of long-time employees who had followed Yu Changze for many years, and they always obeyed him unconditionally.
In other words, the leak may have been made by some locals who participated in the rescue last night.
Those locals were all simple and honest people. Yu Changze told them last night that what happened last night must be kept absolutely secret, and they immediately promised not to tell anyone.
The locals are all hoping that the film will be completed smoothly and released successfully, bringing greater benefits to the town's tourism industry. Of course, they wouldn't be foolish enough to leak the news themselves.
So, the answer to who leaked the information is already quite obvious.
Fu Nian'an looked out the window, her dark eyes icy cold.
...
In the film crew's meeting room, Yu Changze, Yao Jia, Shi Yuwei, and Zhao Qing were all present.
The four people sat around the conference table, the atmosphere heavy and oppressive.
The online buzz remains high. This incident happened just over a month after filming began, and the producer and investors need to provide an explanation.
Shi Yuwei glanced at Yu Changze, then at Yao Jia, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Yao Jia sat opposite Shi Yuwei. She looked at Shi Yuwei with a cold expression and asked, "Teacher Shi, is there something you want to say?"
Shi Yuwei paused, and the next second she looked at Yu Changze.
Yu Changze sighed, "Teacher Shi, just say what you have to say."
Shi Yuwei nodded and looked at Yao Jia, "Sister Yao, I've noticed that the online attention on Le Yan has been steadily increasing, and Le Yan's fans are quite worried. I wanted to ask what Le Yan's current situation is. If she's sober, wouldn't it be better for her to come forward and clarify things?"
Yao Jia gave a cold laugh, "The person is still in danger, how can you clarify things?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yuwei was taken aback. "How could this be? Weren't they supposed to have rescued him in time?"
"Teacher Shi, why do I feel like you're quite disappointed?" Yao Jia stared at Shi Yuwei.
"I, how could I..." Shi Yuwei panicked. "I was just worried about Le Yan and the movie. After all, if things get out of hand, it will have a significant impact on the production team."
"It's more than just an impact!" Yao Jia scoffed. "Didn't Director Yu tell you? The main investor in this movie only invested because of Le Yan. If Le Yan has an accident and can't continue acting, do you think this movie can still be filmed smoothly?"
Shi Yuwei was shocked, "How is this possible..."
Crack—
The sound of the door opening interrupted the conversation inside.
The three of them looked toward the door at the same time upon hearing the sound.
A-Xia pushed Fu Nian'an, who was sitting in a wheelchair, into the room.
When Yu Changze saw Fu Nian'an in a wheelchair, his expression changed, and he immediately stood up from his seat. "Nian'an, what happened to you?"
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious." Fu Nian'an's tone was indifferent, his handsome face showing no emotion whatsoever.
Even though he was in a wheelchair, his aura of authority was still undeniable.
The already oppressive atmosphere in the conference room became even more eerie with the arrival of this bigwig.
Shi Yuwei was unaware of the relationship between Fu Nian'an and Le Yan.
Although she was the chief screenwriter of the film, it was the first time that Yu Changze had worked with her. Yu Changze was drawn to her talent and the story, but they didn't actually have much contact in private.
Therefore, at this moment, she was the only one in the conference room who did not know that Fu Nian'an had come here for Le Yan.
Fu Nian'an is the main investor in the film, so when Shi Yuwei sees Fu Nian'an, she will subconsciously think that Fu Nian'an has come to interrogate her.
She lowered her head, secretly plotting how to shift all the blame onto Le Yan...
...
Yu Changze did not expect Fu Nian'an to step in directly.
Last time, Fu Nian'an was very careful to avoid suspicion because Le Yan was unwilling to make their relationship public, so Fu Nian'an cooperated with her at all times.
The eldest son of the prestigious Fu family, the head of the leading business group Nianjing Group, willingly became an anonymous mistress for the sake of love.
Yu Changze often mocked Fu Siyan in private, saying that the Fu family had produced a great romantic.
I thought Fu Nian'an's secret relationship would last for two or three years, since Le Yan is indeed at a critical stage in her career and it would be inappropriate to go public with their relationship.
But now it seems that Fu Nian'an has no intention of avoiding suspicion.
However, recalling everything that happened last night, Yu Changze instantly understood Fu Nian'an again.
Le Yan almost died, it would be strange if Fu Nian'an could still hold back and not show up.
Yu Changze looked at Fu Nian'an, "How is Le Yan?"
Fu Nian'an glanced at Shi Yuwei indifferently, then looked at Yu Changze: "Still not out of danger."
Yu Changze was taken aback. "That serious?"
“Drowning is only part of the problem; the doctor said her biggest issue is psychological.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Changze immediately looked at the psychology teacher Zhao Qing, "Teacher Zhao, what's going on? Didn't you say Le Yan was fine?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing's expression stiffened. She hurriedly explained, "This part of the filming puts a lot of psychological pressure on the actors, so I would go to see Le Yan as soon as I finished filming. She did have some moments where she couldn't immediately get out of character, but I could help her recover with a little guidance. I also kept asking her to tell me if she felt uncomfortable again, and she kept saying that she was fine. I saw that she was performing very well on set... Now it seems that I am still not capable enough, and I have failed in my duty."
Upon hearing this, Yu Changze's expression turned serious as he looked at Fu Nian'an. "Zhao Qing has been with my team for many years. Her abilities may not be the best, but her sense of responsibility and medical ethics are beyond question. This time, Le Yan's problem was indeed beyond our expectations, and as the director, I bear the greatest responsibility."
“You can’t blame yourself for this.” Fu Nian’an said in a low voice, “Le Yan fell into the sea by accident when she was thirteen years old, and she has been afraid of the sea ever since.”
"What?!"
Everyone was stunned!
“Before filming started, I repeatedly confirmed with Le Yan, and Le Yan herself said there was no problem.” Yu Changze frowned as he looked at Fu Nian’an. “She never mentioned that she fell into the sea when she was thirteen. If she had, I definitely wouldn’t have agreed to let her play the role herself.”
“You don’t know, and that’s not your fault.” Fu Nian calmed her down and then said, “As for Le Yan, I think she wanted to do her best. Of course, she could use a stand-in, but the effect would definitely not be what you expected. She didn’t want to disappoint you, nor did she want people to say that she was being arrogant. Or rather, even if she knew that this role would kill her, she still wanted to do her best to complete it.”
As Fu Nian'an spoke, his gaze turned to Shi Yuwei.
Shi Yuwei was caught off guard by Fu Nian'an's gaze, and her expression froze.
