No matter what the outside world says, Zheng Yuan has never been online since he posted the release date on Weibo.
His unfazed demeanor made netizens and marketing accounts think that he was giving up, so all kinds of mocking posts emerged one after another.
Some say that Zheng Yuan retired from the entertainment industry in the past few years to do business, and then lost a lot of money, so he came back to take on this drama; others say that Zheng Yuan had a smooth life in the first half of his life and was too conceited, which led to his current behavior.
There were also marketing accounts that spread rumors that the actors' two-month training and late-night filming were all fake, and that the leading actors were actually stand-ins, who just dealt with the scenes casually, so Zheng Yuan just edited the film casually and sent it for review.
Fortunately, on the third day of the argument, the doubts subsided a lot when the news that "Ding Feng Hua" would be broadcast on the prime time of China Channel 12 came out.
[A TV series that can be broadcast on China Channel 12 shouldn’t be that bad, right?]
[I remember the costume drama "Autumn Lake" aired on Huadian last year, which ranked third in the ratings and has received very good reviews to this day, with a Douyin rating of 7.7.]
[Wow, it’s great to be a famous director. He can even get a spot at Huadian.]
[Hey, hey, hey, please stop smelling upstairs. What's wrong with getting in? Your older brothers and sisters can't even get in if they want to.]
…
With the endorsement of Huadian, the reputation of Zheng Yuan and "Ding Fenghua" has improved a lot, but various negative notices from marketing accounts continue to come out, and it seems that they are determined to trample the reputation of "Ding Fenghua" into the mud.
Guan Miao opened a video and handed it to Deng Ling. "Sister Deng Ling, I don't understand why these marketing accounts are so persistent."
Deng Ling took a quick look and said, "This is obviously a notice bought by the rival company. Qiao Lu, Ran Yunhua, Chen Yujun, Yu Leming and Xu Ruoming, do you think these people are all newcomers like you?
They have made a name for themselves in the industry, with many fans but even more haters, most of whom are opponents who don't want them to be popular. Zheng Yuan just happened to give them such a big handle, so of course they wanted to take this opportunity to step on them.
I guess they also think they can't come up with anything good in a month, so they are so unscrupulous. But if they are happy to criticize now, it will hurt more when the drama is released later."
Guan Miao blinked, "So that's how it is, I'm just too young."
Chi Yi took over the conversation, "Okay, don't worry about them, the time and place of the meeting have been set, let's get ready for four meetings in five days.
This incident has become such a big deal, I don’t think the meeting will be easy.”
Hearing her say this, Guan Miao trembled, "No way?"
"Don't worry, even though your ranking is in the top three, you're just a newcomer with no buzz or popularity, so why would we interview you?
My question to you is simply, how does Ms. Guan feel about receiving an invitation from Director Zheng for her first TV drama shoot?
Ms. Guan, what do you think of the Seventh Princess? We've seen Ms. Guan post a lot of photos with other teachers on dy. So, are there any fun things happening on set?
After saying that, she spread out her hands and said, "There are only three questions at most. Just answer them as you see fit."
"good."
"Have all the team members returned?"
"Well, they've already reported back to the company. I checked yesterday and they've put their minds back on track. There shouldn't be any problems."
"That's good."
"I won't be bringing San San with me on this roadshow. I'll have to trouble Auntie to take care of him during this time."
Guan Miao was jealous when talking about this, "It's okay, my mom likes it very much now, she is almost better than me, her daughter."
Chi Yi rolled his eyes at her and said, "You're such an adult, and you're still jealous of a small, no, big cat."
“Hmph.”
…
Early in the morning of February 5, when Guan Miao and his team members arrived at the airport, only Yu Wenming was there among the leading actors. He was talking to Zheng Yuan, so Guan Miao went over to say hello.
When Yu Leming saw Guan Miao coming over, he took the initiative to find an excuse to leave, leaving them enough space.
After not seeing him for two months, Zheng Yuan had lost a lot of weight, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.
"Here you are. How have you been these past two months?"
"Not bad," Guan Miao glanced at him for a few times and said carefully, "It's just that Director Zheng, you don't look well. Is it because of what happened online a while ago?"
Zheng Yuan smiled and waved his hands. "How could that be? I've heard that talk so many times. I just didn't expect that after five years, they'd still be using the same rhetoric. They haven't improved at all."
"Then what's with your dark circles and red bloodshot eyes?"
"I'm just focusing on the post-production. It's okay. Once the show is released, I can rest assured and have a good rest."
After saying that, seeing that Guan Miao seemed unhappy, he took the initiative to ask: "How are you? Have you chosen your next play?"
Guan Miao shook his head, "No type you like?"
She nodded after careful consideration, and Zheng Yuan expressed his understanding, "It's normal. There aren't many normal scripts in the industry right now. If you really don't like it, just take your time.
Anyway, with Chi Yi here, you don't have to accept scripts you don't like, and you don't have to be forced to play roles you don't like. Just wait and don't rush. "
After hearing his words, Guan Miao curled her lips into a stiff smile. She was not in a hurry, but Chi Yi might not be able to wait.
After waiting for a while, the other main actors arrived one after another. I looked at my phone and saw that they were all following the timeline.
Several leading actors and their agents sat in first class, while the rest of the team sat in economy class.
An hour and a half later, the group arrived at their destination. "It's 11:00 AM now. Everyone should be in the theater preparation room at 1:30 PM on time, and the press conference will be held at 2:00 PM on time.
I hope everyone can be on time and not be late.”
Seeing that they all nodded, Zheng Yuan waved his hand to indicate that they could go about their own business.
Seeing that everyone else had left, Guan Miao and the others followed the previously arranged schedule and asked Xiao N to rent a car and drive to the nearest hotel.
After completing the check-in procedures, the group moved into consecutive rooms.
The hotel is not very big, but the environment and various equipment are clean. After Chai Yue checked that there were no hidden dangers of cameras in the four rooms, she let Guan Miao stay in a room randomly.
"Even though you're not famous, you can't let your guard down. Safety is paramount."
"Um."
After catching up on some sleep in the hotel, the group arrived at the cinema's lounge five minutes early and both took out various equipment to prepare to put on makeup for her.
Inside the room, a group of people were working methodically when suddenly there was a knock on the door. "Is this Teacher Guan's lounge?"
"Yes, please come in."
A young girl came in and said, "Hello, Teacher Guan, this is the dress we prepared. Please try it on for size. If there is anything that doesn't fit, I can alter it."
Hearing this, Guan Miao asked Shuangshuang to stop for a moment, "Wait a moment."
"OK."
This time, the costume team prepared a white coat and a light pink long skirt for her, which mainly portrayed her as weak and simple, which was not much different from the first impression given by the Seventh Princess.
