Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. Although I was furious that these people had bothered me and Jiang Ning, an actor's excellent qualities include being able to maintain their best performance when facing the camera.
"Ms. Yan Keyi, there has been much controversy surrounding your casting as the second female lead in Director Hu's new film. Could you please respond to this?"
Even before the interview, Jiang Ning and Yan Keyi had anticipated that they might encounter some rather pointed questions, but they didn't expect them to ask this right away.
Yan Keyi can act like nothing's wrong in front of the camera, but Jiang Ning can't hide her emotions.
The only good thing is that she always had a cold face, so they couldn't say that she was giving Jiang Ning a hard time.
"I suggest you ask questions related to movies; I don't think this topic is very interesting."
While Yan Keyi was racking her brains, Jiang Ning had already asked the question before she could.
Jiang Ning herself knew that it was inappropriate for her to ask such a question, but she was confident that she could prevent these people from broadcasting this interview.
"It seems everyone is quite interested in our Xiao Yan. How about we do a joint interview?"
After seeing the commotion on Jiang Ning and Yan Keyi's side, Qin Yiran was worried that the two of them wouldn't be able to handle it, so she rushed over immediately.
With Qin Yiran's arrival, the media will stop pressuring Yan Keyi.
But they thought that if Yan Keyi was really as rumored, then Actress Qin probably wouldn't like her very much. They also tried to test Yan Keyi's true nature by observing Qin Yiran's reaction.
"Actress Qin, how did you feel about acting opposite Yan Keyi, who is a newcomer to the industry?"
The reporter who asked the question didn't explicitly say that Yan Keyi's poor acting skills would drag down the production team, but the tone of their words implied that.
Qin Yiran, who has managed to secure a place in the entertainment industry, is a shrewd person, so how could she not understand his meaning?
If she expresses even the slightest dissatisfaction with Yan Keyi here, it will be magnified. That's not what she wants to see.
"Although Xiao Yan is a newcomer, her acting skills are no less than those of people who have been in the entertainment industry for several years. Besides, if her acting skills weren't good, do you think Xiao Yan would have stayed in Director Hu's crew?"
This wasn't the first time Qin Yiran had spoken up for Yan Keyi, but in front of the camera, Qin Yiran genuinely showed her affection and appreciation for this junior colleague.
If we didn't know much about Yan Keyi's situation at the beginning, we could have been more concerned about how the reports would turn out. But now that we see Qin Yiran like this, we might have to consider Qin Yiran's feelings when we write about her later.
"Ms. Yan Keyi, this is your first time acting. What are your thoughts on filming with the Long Spear crew so far?"
Perhaps because Qin Yiran was there, the media's questions to Yan Keyi were a bit gentler.
This question was easy to answer, and with Qin Yiran by his side, Jiang Ning could rest assured and watch from the sidelines. Caught off guard by the question, Yan Keyi was momentarily at a loss for words.
However, when her gaze fell upon Jiang Ning and she saw the encouragement in her eyes, Yan Keyi cleared her throat.
"During my time on set, I learned a lot. At first, I relied on my own understanding of the character to perform. Gradually, Director Hu and Teacher Qin taught me a lot of new knowledge, which made me more comfortable during filming. Everyone on set also took good care of me. Although it may not be appropriate for me to say this, I think that after the movie is released and everyone sees my performance, they will recognize me."
Yan Keyi expressed her gratitude to Hu Yiming, Qin Yiran, and even some other senior members of the crew, and there was nothing wrong with her words.
But in the end, Yan Keyi knew that what she said might make her seem arrogant, but that was truly what Yan Keyi thought.
Actually, it's not just Yan Keyi.
People outside the industry don't really know much about Yan Keyi because they haven't seen her act in person. But those in the same production crew, even those who initially had some prejudice against her, are all captivated by her performance and her progress from the beginning to the present.
In addition, she is not only highly skilled in her work, but also has a kind personality. She will politely address everyone as "teacher" or "senior." Who wouldn't like such a girl?
Everyone seems to agree on the positive impression of Yan Keyi.
It's difficult for the media to find fault with Yan Keyi's answers; there's nothing new to dig up, so they can only ask more questions related to the plot.
"Teacher Qin, Teacher Yan, what kind of roles do you think you played in the film?"
This is the last question in today's interview.
Before they came to visit the set, Director Hu had already told them that he could reveal some information about the film, but he couldn't really spoil too much.
After all, if all the secrets are revealed now, who will come to watch the movie when it's officially released?
To reveal some information in her answer without revealing too much, Yan Keyi hesitated for a while before slowly speaking.
"In my eyes, Liang Weiqing is someone who is 'both righteous and wicked.' She might succumb to the so-called trends pursued by the masses, but she also has her own steadfast principles. However..."
She's really suffering. She clearly doesn't want to pursue anything anymore, but she still can't grasp anything.
"Specifically, once the movie is released, everyone is welcome to go and see it. I believe everyone will have a different understanding of it."
Yan Keyi kept everyone in suspense. If she revealed everything, wouldn't Director Hu kill her?
At the end, Yan Keyi winked at the camera. The makeup and styling, which were meant to fit the character, had actually toned down a lot of Yan Keyi's cuteness, but when she smiled sweetly at the camera, she was still very adorable.
After finishing her sentence, Yan Keyi looked at Qin Yiran, waiting for her to speak.
After receiving Yan Keyi's gaze, Qin Yiran slowly spoke, "Ning Yifeng, she is a very typical person who wants to make great achievements when she first enters society. She has her own ambition and persistence, and it is precisely this persistence that has forged her success. I can't say more about the specifics. After the film is released, everyone will have their own understanding."
Like Yan Keyi, Qin Yiran spoke but didn't say everything.
The media also knew they couldn't reveal too much, so they didn't press the matter further.
After seeing the media off, Yan Keyi had no filming scheduled for the afternoon, so she thought she would go out for a stroll with Jiang Ning.
