Chapter 13 'Your father' strikes again (5th update)
If this matter is not handled properly, what awaits Ruan Qi and Zhan Rong and the movie "Tianya" will be the furious backlash of CP fans and a crazy drop in box office revenue. More seriously, it will also affect Ruan Qi and Zhan Rong's future development in the film industry.
After all, no director would like to use an actor who is involved in a scandal during the release of the movie.
"This incident was definitely orchestrated." Shen Wenqian calmly analyzed, "Posting this kind of photo to break up the relationship when 'Tianya' is at its peak, the other party is most likely targeting the movie."
Every popular movie will be criticized during its release.
Either the actors or the director, there will definitely be some negative information released.
After all, the pie is so small, and if "Tianya" eats more, other films will have less to eat. This is something that the capitalists will never allow.
What's more, the screening rate of "Tianya" in theaters is now nearly 50%, and other movies are already jealous.
Chang Bing: "I had long suspected that someone would stir up trouble, after all, Tianya is so popular. But I didn't expect those people to actually spread rumors about you two, and the rumors were so true."
If Chang Bing hadn't seen how Xi Jiu and Ruan Qi got along when he was in YL country before, then just looking at the photo of the kiss on the cheek, he would really suspect that Zhan Rong and Ruan Qi had something going on.
But because of Xi Jiu's existence, Chang Bing really thinks this scandal is too fucking ridiculous.
Zhan Rong is excellent. As a former phenomenal top star, his appearance and temperament are recognized by everyone.
But, this also depends on who you are comparing with.
Even though Chang Bing was Zhan Rong's agent, he had to admit that no matter how handsome or elegant a male star was, he was still a head shorter than Xi Jiu.
A male star's temperament is built up by popularity and money.
But Xi Jiu's demeanor was forged from the iron-blooded killing and the background of his aristocratic family.
Even an actor with the best acting skills cannot act out the iron-blooded and noble demeanor of a superior.
Therefore, with Xi Jiu as an example, Chang Bing felt that unless Ruan Qi was blind, she would not choose Zhan Rong over Xi Jiu.
However, even if they believe that Ruan Qi and Zhan Rong have no relationship, netizens don't believe it.
"The photo was indeed shot with a fake camera." Zhan Rong opened the photo of the kiss. "At the time, I was probably looking up to talk to the makeup artist, while Xiao Qi was looking down at her foundation on the dressing table. We weren't that close. That Xigua Dalang photoshopped out the makeup artist."
Because he was once a top star, Zhan Rong has always been very careful about the distance between himself and the opposite sex in public.
What's more, Ruan Qi's boyfriend is the head of the Xi family. How desperate must he be to be so close to her?
However, even if Zhan Rong and Ruan Qi had no evil intentions, the photo was there.
The person who retouched the photo was very skilled, and there was no trace of the makeup artist being removed. And even if the makeup artist was there, it didn't prove that Ruan Qi and Zhan Rong didn't have an affair.
Unless there is surveillance in the dressing room, it would be difficult to reconstruct what happened.
"I just called to ask, there's no surveillance in the dressing room backstage at Starlight Cinema, but there are cameras outside the dressing room. But..." Shen Wenqian frowned, "The cameras outside can't see inside the dressing room."
Chang Bing: "Although we can't see inside the dressing room, at least it proves that Xiao Qi and Zhan Rong were not alone in the room. There were so many people coming in and out of the dressing room that day. No couple would kiss in front of so many staff members, right?"
Shen Wenqian felt that what Chang Bing said made some sense, but... he was afraid of those unreasonable people.
In the eyes of keyboard warriors and haters, as long as Ruan Qi and Zhan Rong do not produce ironclad evidence, they definitely have an ulterior motive.
The surveillance camera can only prove that there are many people in the dressing room, but it cannot completely clear Zhan Rong and Ruan Qi.
Once again, the situation reached a dead end.
Chang Bing and Zhan Rong were so worried that their brows were twisted into a small mountain, and Shen Wenqian was so worried that his head hurt.
He rubbed his forehead uncomfortably, raised his head, and saw Ruan Qi sitting on the single sofa opposite.
"Xiao Qi, what are you doing?"
"Um..." The girl answered without looking up from her phone, "I'm checking something."
Shen Wenqian was anxious and felt that his artist was really generous. Things had come to this point, but she still had the mind to do other things.
Shen Wenqian sighed tiredly and said weakly, "Don't investigate yet. Come and discuss with us how to solve this matter."
Unexpectedly, the little girl who had been fiddling with her phone shook her head.
"No need to discuss it."
Shen Wenqian: “?”
Under the bewildered gaze of her agent, the girl raised her phone and shook it—
“Because I’ve already solved the problem~”
…
The prop room was silent for five seconds.
Then——
Shen Wenqian: “!!!!”
Thousands of exclamation marks almost solidified into substance, bursting out of the screen in his head.
Under the confused gazes of Zhan Rong and Chang Bing, Shen Wenqian stood up and rushed to Ruan Qi with a few big strides.
"How did you solve it?!"
"Hmm..." The little girl tapped on her phone screen a few times quickly, revealing a soft smile, "I hacked into that Watermelon Dalang's computer~"
Shen Wenqian once again: "!!!!!!"
If exclamation marks could talk, they would be complaining that Mr. Shen's head was too crowded. After all, the exclamation marks he had created out of excitement could circle the earth three times.
Excited Shen Wenqian took Ruan Qi's phone with shaking hands.
On the phone were all the chat records from Xigua Dalang's computer and phone, as well as all the photos he had secretly taken backstage at the premiere.
From these chat records, Shen Wenqian could tell that Xigua Dalang should be a full-time paparazzi.
On the day of the premiere, he somehow managed to sneak backstage and took many secret photos.
Xigua Dalang's original intention was to try his luck and maybe get some dirty laundry on the actor, so he could extort some money from him. But when he got home and checked the photos on his computer, he unexpectedly discovered that he had taken a photo that could potentially cause a sensation.
The content of the photo is Ruan Qizhanrong's kiss on the cheek.
Xigua Dalang certainly knew that the kiss on the cheek was caused by the angle, because he was using the continuous shooting function of the camera.
The continuous shooting function clearly recorded the entire process of Ruan Qi going to Zhan Rong's dressing table and looking down for foundation, and then returning to her seat. She and Zhan Rong didn't even touch the corner of their clothes, let alone a kiss.
However, looking at the photo of the cheek kiss caused by the angle, Xigua Dalang felt that his chance had come.
He waited patiently for a few days until "Tianya" became a big hit, and then he contacted the director of another movie released at the same time.
As for who this director is, it is clearly written in Xigua Dalang’s chat records.
After reading all the evidence, Shen Wenqian almost knelt down to Ruan Qi.
They were all desperately looking for the surveillance footage in the dressing room, but Ruan Qi did the opposite and went straight to dig up information about Xigua Dalang.
And this digging almost dug up Xigua Dalang's ancestral tomb!
So awesome!
You have to kneel!
Shen Wenqian's old face flushed with excitement.
He held his phone in one hand and waved the other with a heroic gesture, "Leave the rest to me! I'll definitely type the word 'garbage' on the Weibo screen!"
