Chapter 77
Chapter 77
Jiang Mingyue absolutely did not want to record the show with Han Jialan.
But often, her "want" or "don't want" is of no use to the situation, because no production team would let go of such explosive content.
She glanced around quickly and, sure enough, found that the camera had moved in front of Han Jialan, and the host's face was flushed with excitement.
If you have the right to not use it now, are you going to wait until you push yourself into the abyss before crying about it?
Without hesitation, Jiang Mingyue raised her voice and shouted, "Brother Gu!"
Don't say it's shameful to rely on a man. As her manager, Gu Yifan should solve any potential problems for her. Even if Gu Yifan's gender is a Walmart plastic bag, he shouldn't shrink back when it's time to put in the effort.
As Jiang Mingyue called out Gu Yifan's name, Gu Yifan had already entered the frame.
He covered the camera with his hand, his expression unusually serious as he warned the host: "The contract states that no behavior detrimental to the artist is allowed. You deliberately invited someone who was not a match for Jiang Mingyue's adoptive mother to the show. Are you trying to frame her and ruin her right now? Who paid you for this show?"
The matter between Jiang Mingyue and Han Jialan is still purely a private matter, but Gu Yifan is a seasoned veteran who has been in the industry for many years, and he knows all too well how to handle the current situation.
Covering the camera doesn't mean the equipment has stopped working; all sounds from the scene will be recorded, and Gu Yifan won't let anything detrimental to Jiang Mingyue leak out.
Along with Gu Yifan, Jiang Mingyue's two assistants also worked together. Li Ruojun, being small and weak, held up her phone and started recording to prevent the production team from sabotaging the show later. Xiao Liu had also spread his arms and used his coat to cover the side of Jiang Mingyue facing the camera to prevent any inappropriate expressions on her face from being captured on camera.
Everyone has a voyeuristic desire, and this kind of "non-industry news" about Jiang Mingyue is even more likely to arouse the curiosity of passersby.
The scene immediately descended into chaos.
Han Jialan didn't care about any of that. She started making a scene as soon as she arrived, just to cause trouble for Jiang Mingyue.
She continued to push forward regardless, her mouth never stopping, "Jiang Mingyue, don't hide! Why are you pretending not to know me? Mom is really sick. Even if you don't like our family, you're still her biological daughter. She's calling your name even when she's sick. Can't you go back and see her? You clearly like playing the role of a filial daughter so much!"
At this point, I have no choice but to explain, otherwise I'll be relentlessly attacked online.
Jiang Mingyue didn't look at Han Jialan while speaking. Instead, she turned to the camera and said to the host, "This girl and I were indeed mixed up by the hospital, but I didn't go to the hospital with her parents for a paternity test; and the paternity test results for her and my mother also showed no kinship. I don't know what she's trying to do. Can you control the situation? The show is turning into a farce."
The show isn't afraid of having sensational moments; it's afraid that the so-called sensational moments are untenable from the start.
The host's attitude softened instantly.
"You're lying! My parents clearly showed me a paternity test, and you are their biological child!" Han Jialan was still shouting at the top of her lungs, completely disregarding her image as a wealthy heiress.
Jiang Mingyue's expression became even more troubled.
Her face was filled with embarrassment and hesitation, and her voice lowered, "They did produce a paternity test, but they refused to go to the hospital with me to do it again. I... I can't trust something that isn't officially issued. After all..."
Jiang Mingyue paused subtly for a moment, her embarrassment turning into shame.
She lowered her head deeply, wishing she could bury her face in her chest: "After all, the person their family wanted to marry into was causing trouble with his mother. Even though I refused countless times, he still insisted that he only wanted me."
Merchants are driven by profit and have no moral bottom line; they will do anything to achieve their goals.
Jiang Mingyue's words were reasonable and well-founded, and they involved her reputation. After she finished explaining with difficulty, the host was already 80% convinced.
Everyone is curious about the private affairs of a rapidly rising starlet, but if it involves any business marriage, it's hard to say whether the show can still be broadcast as usual.
All the staff present depend on this show for their livelihood, so they absolutely cannot ruin their own jobs.
Having considered the pros and cons, the host no longer hesitated. He gave a look to the security personnel standing beside him, and the security personnel, who outnumbered the burly men Han Jialan had brought, finally moved. They surrounded Han Jialan and her entourage, quickly forcing them out of the camera's view.
Any production crew with a filming mission would be accompanied by professional personnel. Han Jialan was quickly sidelined on the grounds of "disrupting filming" and sent to "discuss in detail" with the legal department.
Next came the entrance of other celebrities and ordinary guests. While Han Jialan's entrance was no longer as eye-catching, everyone's entrance was carefully prepared, and the filming results were not bad.
After the entrance filming was finished, the camera automatically paused. Gu Yifan went up to negotiate and soon obtained a copy of the footage for his records.
Jiang Mingyue boarded the car prepared by the production team and, together with all the cast members, arrived at the filming location for this episode—a newly built antique-style hot spring resort, located no more than 500 meters away from nearby historical sites. The resort boasted extremely luxurious facilities and offered every imaginable form of entertainment.
Following the rules, Jiang Mingyue and other celebrities drew lots to secure their spots for the first night, and she pulled her suitcase to her room.
Gu Yifan and his two assistants, Xiao Liu and Xiao Li, went to check into another room.
After tidying up her belongings, Jiang Mingyue received the unsurprising bad news during dinner: Han Jialan would continue filming.
The celebrities and ordinary guests present all cast sympathetic or amused glances at Jiang Mingyue, who only showed a troubled expression as she took a bunch of tomatoes and cucumbers from the self-service table to continue her extremely harsh diet.
When facing the camera, most female celebrities are unwilling to expose their miserable eating conditions, because this does not actually bring them popularity; Jiang Mingyue's cover song immediately attracted attention.
"Aren't you going to eat anything else? This is too little." Fan Chulan immediately pretended to be concerned, holding her plate and nudging Jiang Mingyue's elbow with her arm.
Fan Chulan is a female celebrity who has been in the industry for several years. Currently, she is a third-tier actress and doesn't lack acting opportunities. Every year, she has two or three TV dramas where she plays the second or third female lead. However, the ratings have never been high, so she has focused more on the popular variety shows and is gradually developing into a variety show personality.
Jiang Mingyue smiled politely and shook her head, speaking very frankly: "After recording the show, I'll be joining the film crew. I need to lose another six to ten pounds to meet the requirements of the role."
Fan Chulan's words of persuasion caught in her throat.
Jiang Mingyue, however, maintained a serious expression and advised, "Sister Chu Lan, it's best not to eat carbohydrates tonight. You might get bloated during tomorrow's shoot. Otherwise, you'll get another blackout notice."
Who are you insulting?
Everyone in the industry knows that half of the negative press articles are actually paid for by the celebrities themselves, just to maintain their popularity!
