"You didn't respond?"
After Zhou Yiyang left the hotel, he went to find the four of them.
Finally, everyone gathered in a hotel near where Zhang Yingyuan was filming.
"No," Tang Yue put down her phone and said rather distractedly, "I just checked the comments and saw that there are really a lot of people who just come here to watch the fun and make sarcastic remarks."
"That's normal," Zhou Yiyang said, looking completely calm. He even had Guan Fei call the front desk and ask them to send over some food. After all, he hadn't had breakfast yet! "Don't underestimate your popularity. You're not worth the money, so it's impossible for everyone to like you. Often, there are people who already dislike you, but because you're not mainstream, they keep quiet. Now that this incident has happened, they'll naturally take advantage of the situation to mock you."
"Do I need to apologize?" Su Yin's face was tired, a rare sight, and her eyes were red. This time, she was imitating Zheng Hong, a once-popular actress.
When Su Yin was a child, she watched Zheng Hong's TV series and once regarded her as her goddess.
When the editor-in-chief of "GQ" came up with these four sets of covers, it was Su Yin who chose them herself.
Her original intention was to pay tribute to her favorite senior, but she never expected that Zheng Hong would directly post a Weibo to imply her.
"Apologize?" Zhou Yiyang raised an eyebrow. "Why apologize? If someone really needs to apologize for this, it should be the creative planner of GQ. You're just fulfilling the contract and shooting for the magazine. And you should be aware of Zheng Hong's current situation, right?"
Wang Xingrui and Tang Yue both nodded. They had seen it before when eating melons.
Lin Xuan'er didn't know much about it before, but after the incident broke out this morning, she got a general idea from the fragmentary comments from netizens.
"She was really popular back then. She appeared on GQ right after she finished filming her most famous film. Guan Fei, give me your data."
Guan Fei immediately handed the tablet computer to Zhou Yiyang.
Zhou Yiyang glanced down and read the data from the encyclopedia:
"That year, she was ranked ninth on the Asian Celebrity List, the only star in the top ten. The TV series she starred in won the ratings championship that year, and the theme song she sang was a hit. Yes, she became an overnight sensation, and at her peak she even surpassed Helian Bei."
After hearing this result, the four of them, regardless of their own position, were indeed somewhat impressed.
"But two years later, she married someone in America and retired from the entertainment industry as a wealthy wife. It's a personal choice, so I won't comment on it." Zhou Yiyang tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "If it weren't for today's incident, not many people would know her. If you responded, it would only increase her popularity and confirm her claim of imitating others. At least in my opinion, your photos are better than hers."
"I think so too!" Tang Yue suddenly felt justified. "We're not doing a spoof, we're paying homage. If it weren't a classic cover, we wouldn't have imitated it! Xiao Xiao Su, cheer up!"
"Let's compare the photos."
Guan Fei quickly projected the two photos onto the big screen.
The one on the left is Zheng Hong’s original version. At the age of 25, she was indeed very successful.
The photo was taken from the air: Zheng Hong stood on the tallest building in Asia at that time with her arms outstretched, with a row of newly built high-rise buildings behind her.
This set of pictures was very classic back then, symbolizing her ambition, the rise of China's economy, and a strong memory of the times.
This is also the reason why the editor-in-chief of GQ chose this cover.
In Su Yin's version, she is standing on what is now the tallest building in Asia, and the former "tallest building" has become a background board.
This is a fact and an inevitable result of economic development.
In fact, Zhou Yiyang feels that this new cover is the most suitable for the theme, and the alternation between the old and the new is inevitable.
He also understood that Yue Shao, the other three, and himself would all grow old one day. When that happened, he would definitely take a photo himself to commemorate their aging and welcome the rise of the new generation.
The original Zheng Hong grinned widely, her eyes filled with curiosity about the unknown, while Su Yin closed her eyes, enjoying the present moment.
In this regard, each has its own merits.
"Hey," Wang Xingrui suddenly interrupted Zhou Yiyang's surging emotions and said, "Teacher Ge Qingyi posted on Weibo!"
"What?" Tang Yue suddenly became nervous. Ge Qingyi was the senior she was imitating.
She is also the most legendary among the four big flowers. Many people even believe that the other three tied her up to get the title of the four great flowers.
Ge Qingyi is still active in the front line today, and she has more fans on Weibo than the four of them.
@Ge Qingyi: I really like @Moonlight Girl - Tang Yue's new version. It's fresh and bold. I like new interpretations rather than blindly following the original.
The moment Su Yin saw this Weibo post, she was suddenly moved.
Regardless of whether she was being sentimental or not, Ge Qingyi's last words did encourage her.
"Sure enough," Zhou Yiyang laughed. "People who became famous at a young age and have remained so popular are all good at talking. It seems that there's no need for you, Su Yin, to respond now."
"What about me?" Tang Yue was a little happy.
She likes all four of them, who represent the pinnacle of female stardom in the commercial world. She loves fame and fortune, and she wants to live like them.
And now Ge Qingyi actually praised her. Regardless of whether it was just a compliment or not, she was extremely happy.
"Hurry up and thank Teacher Ge," Zhou Yiyang shook his head: "Isn't he usually quite smart?"
