While "The Rich Daughter" isn't a romance and doesn't require hype about a romantic partner, actors are often wary of being influenced by external factors. Once influenced, their work will be subject to criticism, both large and small. Rising stars are especially wary of announcing romantic relationships.
Qi Yaoxuan has a lot of female fans. Once it is announced that his girlfriend is an unknown newcomer, not only will they stop being his fans, but they will also attack this newcomer who suddenly appeared.
The first thing Producer Wu thought of was to prevent this news from being released, and the second thing he considered was Qi Yaoxuan’s personal problems.
She spoke to smooth things over. "Yaoxuan is quite considerate. He knows to check on the actress when she's injured and even helps clean the wound. You don't see many good men like him these days."
"Yes." Director Qin continued, following Producer Wu's words. "Who of you will take Shen Nian'an to the hospital?"
"Director, I'm going." Qi Yaoxuan said, "I'll be leaving first."
"Wait, let the actress take Shen Nian'an to the hospital." Producer Wu's words, spoken out of safety considerations, sounded unpleasant to Shen Nian'an.
She naturally regarded Producer Wu as an imaginary enemy. "No, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious. I'm leaving now!"
"Stop." Qi Yaoxuan said in a deep voice, "Can you please stop being so upset? Do you really have to embarrass me in public?"
"Qi Yaoxuan, what do I owe you that you have to speak to me in such a tone?" Shen Nian'an's eyes turned red and she ran away without looking back.
In full view of everyone, Qi Yaoxuan chased after him without thinking.
"Quick, stop him." If he was photographed by the paparazzi squatting outside, who could he turn to for justice?
But it was too late. When everyone tried to stop them, the two men had already disappeared.
The atmosphere at the table gradually became awkward.
Director Qin wiped his sweat awkwardly and said, "Someone of you should contact him. Don't do anything stupid."
"Director, forget it and let them be."
It cannot be stopped. Qi Yaoxuan is destined to have a disaster, and this is what he deserves to experience.
Sure enough, the paparazzi squatting outside took ambiguous photos of the two people.
The next day, #Qi Yaoxuan’s girlfriend# became a hot topic on Weibo.
Pictures speak louder than words. Although the pictures released by the paparazzi are a bit blurry, you can still see the woman's profile clearly.
Qi Yaoxuan's fans were furious and compared him to all the celebrities in the entertainment industry. Anyone who looked similar was scolded.
Over there, Qi Yaoxuan's agent was swamped. After finally getting in touch with Qi Yaoxuan, he launched into a barrage of abuse. "What's going on? Who told you to reveal your relationship? Who is that woman? How do you know her? Don't you know you can't be in a relationship right now, during your career's ascendancy?"
Qi Yaoxuan hadn't slept well for two nights in a row, but he was inexplicably scolded by his agent, which made him even more irritated. "What's wrong?"
"My little ancestor, don't you check Weibo? You and your rumored girlfriend were trending on the search yesterday, didn't you know?"
Qi Yaoxuan's agent was pissed off. He had finally made an artist famous, but he still couldn't stop worrying about her. "Brother, can you please stop courting death?"
He had already been criticized by his boss because of Ji Wan's incident. But after half a month, he started to act up again, and this time he even had a rumored girlfriend. It really pissed him off.
Qi Yaoxuan logged into Weibo and was shocked.
His original number of fans was 30 million, but it dropped by 5 million due to the rumored girlfriend incident, and now he only has more than 25 million fans.
Losing five million fans in one night has a huge impact on a male artist.
No wonder the agent has a headache. If he were him, he would also have a headache and couldn’t sleep.
"Immediately issue a statement saying you don't have a girlfriend. I'll contact the paparazzi and buy them out if the price is reasonable."
For his own sake, Qi Yaoxuan wrote a short essay explaining that he did not have a girlfriend.
The agent contacted the paparazzi who took the photos, and the paparazzi asked for five million yuan in hush money.
The agent was furious, not because he was reluctant to spend the money, but because it was not worth it.
He immediately called Qi Yaoxuan. "They're asking for five million in hush money. Will you give it to them?"
"No." Qi Yaoxuan refused without a second thought. It was too obvious that he was being robbed. He wasn't a victim, so why would he give money?
"I'll think of something. I got it." The agent slapped his forehead, having an idea. "Aren't you and Ji Wan filming 'The Rich Daughter'? Just say that the girlfriend in the movie is Ji Wan. You and Ji Wan can hype up the CP relationship and it will be a good way to warm up the TV series."
"No." Qi Yaoxuan refused directly. "My fans are even more incompatible with his. Plus, he's a transgender person. How could I possibly like him?"
"You're still picking it up now, right? Do you know how much damage it will cause to the company if you don't public relations? You're a new star who hasn't even established a foothold in the entertainment industry yet, and you dare to expose scandals during this extraordinary period? Do you know that you will be doomed?"
Qi Yaoxuan certainly knew that the consequences were not something they could afford at this stage.
His endorsements and business opportunities are all due to his large number of fans. Once his fans are gone, all these will no longer exist.
Nowadays, with so much traffic going on, no director wants to promote newcomers, whether it's a TV show or a movie. If he announces a relationship during his career's rise, it's like he's half-broken. The entertainment industry is so fast-paced, he'll be left hanging by his juniors if he's not careful.
"Even if I agree, Ji Wan won't agree."
"I'll go talk to Ji Wan and the director will also be able to communicate. My dear, please don't cause any trouble for me."
If he causes trouble again, he can just resign and leave.
Qi Yaoxuan said, "Wait a minute, the financial backer behind him is Jiang Yufeng, Jiang Yufeng won't agree."
HG’s boss, what the hell!
His agent lives in Bengbu. I knew Ji Wan was a resourceful person, but I didn't expect his resources to be so impressive. He's much better than this troublesome artist.
Everyone knows to find a golden thigh to hold on to, but he insists on having a new girlfriend. They are so different, there is no comparison.
"Try it first."
Xu Jing was applying a face mask and browsing his phone when, as luck would have it, he received a call from an unfamiliar number. "Hello. I'm Qi Yaoxuan's manager, Kuqi."
"What's up?"
"It's like this. Qi Yaoxuan is having some minor troubles right now, which may affect the filming of 'The Rich Daughter'. So I'd like to discuss with you if it's convenient for you to come forward and explain it?"
Xu Jing smiled and said, "I don't understand what you mean. How do you want me to help you?"
Kuqi said with a smile, "Did you see the headlines on Weibo? It's about Qi Yaoxuan's rumored girlfriend. I hope you can claim her. Of course, I'm not asking you to claim her for nothing. This will benefit both parties. You can also make a lot of money from this opportunity. It's a win-win situation for both parties and it won't affect your career. Don't you agree?"
I just rushed forward to be the scapegoat.
