Chapter 33 Men can sometimes...
-
After exiting the livestream, Qi Yuan immediately settled the score. Shu Mei grabbed the host, who was about to flee, and sternly said, "Who told you to ask questions about the stunt double in the livestream? Didn't I tell you when we signed the contract not to even mention anything about the stunt double? What was going on with you guys just now?"
The host clenched the script in his hand and laughed dryly, "Manager Shu, I'm just an employee, not a planner. Besides, isn't this working out pretty well? There are over 200,000 people online in the livestream."
Shu Mei didn't want to hear this. She said, "I'll let you guys plan it out, and you guys will be in charge."
The host's face was filled with helplessness. None of the photographers or assistants dared to come forward to help, turning their heads away. He ripped his clothes from Shu Mei's hands and said, "The planners don't know anything. This is all arranged by the higher-ups."
"Then take us to meet your superiors, yes, and the director who liaises with us." Shu Mei was extremely annoyed. Since Qi Yuan became so popular, it was rare for someone to break the rules. Before, whenever Qi Yuan made a request, even if she said she didn't want to see a certain type of decoration on the table, the person in charge would change it overnight. There would never be anything that Qi Yuan didn't want to see.
Status, big names, and celebrity status are all built up in this way. Over time, this circle also knows Qi Yuan's rules, and now the rules have been broken.
It means they don’t take it seriously, so of course it counts.
The host sighed and pushed and shoved, feeling helpless.
"Manager Shu, what do you want to talk to me about?" A female voice came from behind. Shu Mei and Qi Yuan looked over and saw a woman in a professional suit, with a strong aura and wearing a pair of frameless glasses walked in.
Shu Mei sneered. She let go of the host and glanced at the woman's work badge on her chest. "Vice President," she said. "Very good." She said, "Vice President, right? Did you also decide on the interview script?"
The vice president nodded: "It's me."
She glanced at the data someone handed her and smiled, "Isn't that great? There are so many people watching online, and there are so many gifts. In just over ten minutes, Teacher Qi's followers increased by 100,000, and it even created a hot topic."
Shu Mei stepped forward and said, "Even if we don't talk about this topic, Qi Yuan has the ability to increase her followers. What I'm asking now is, why don't you follow our rules?"
The vice president pushed the tablet back, looked at Shu Mei, and then at Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan, wearing sunglasses and folding her arms to play with her hair, looked arrogant. The female vice president smiled slightly and said, "Teacher Qi and Manager Shu can ask Xingyao about this question."
Qi Yuan paused her nonchalant act of fiddling with her hair and looked up: "What do you mean?"
The female vice president smiled politely and turned to leave.
Shu Mei frowned, pulled Qi Yuan, left the live broadcast room, and returned to the car. Qi Yuan sat up straight and asked: "Did Xingyao invest in a big shot?"
Shu Mei watched the topic on Weibo gain popularity.
Now everyone is saying that when Wen Chu was Qi Yuan's stand-in, Qi Yuan was helping the poor. She gave him money but didn't have to do anything, but he ended up betraying Qi Yuan.
Public opinion seemed okay. Shu Mei showed Qi Yuan the topic and said, "Xingyao suddenly interfered with your interview. I won't talk about it, but look at the topic and the popularity. Is Mr. Gu...giving you some compensation? At least the popularity is on your side now."
Qi Yuan's anger subsided a little after seeing the public opinion topic.
She glanced at the phone beside her. Was Gu Cheng using this to apologize to her?
At this time.
There is movement on the official Weibo of Xingyao.
At the peak of public opinion, six edited videos were released.
The first one is a video clip of the female knight, from the moment Wen Chu puts on the female knight's clothes to the moment she stands in front of the camera, the director says start, she picks up the sword and starts dancing, bending down, spinning, her red costume fluttering, each move and gesture is full of the style of a knight, her movements are smooth and flowing, and this segment is the one that became a huge hit.
Just add a prefix, show the face, and even in the video you can hear the director on the set say: "Teacher Wen, please do it again."
The second video shows all the shots of the female knight Wen Chu filming for Qi Yuan. It lasts for more than 2 hours and even includes several scenes from her back where she talks to the male lead.
Video notes: Only one-third of the important part is edited, which means that two-thirds are left to be edited.
The third video is a movie, Highway Pursuit, which also won Qi Yuan the Best Actress award. The whole movie was shot on a deserted dusty road. The female lead, riding a motorcycle or lying on the roof of the criminal's car, looked extremely handsome in leather pants and leather jacket. When this movie came out, it became a big hit three days later because of the whole movie and the heroic shots of the female lead. Of course, the story is also very exciting and thrilling, which complement each other.
This movie is more than two hours long, and almost all the parts requiring martial arts were shot by Wen Chu. She did all the hanging on wires under the scorching sun, holding a dagger, and fighting close combat with the gangsters by herself. This was also the first time she had filmed such a high-intensity modern movie after being Qi Yuan's stand-in for so many years.
The fourth video is an ancient monster-catching drama. Wen Chu performed all the martial arts for Qi Yuan, including exposing her back to attract the sorcerers. She flew up from the water, her clothes automatically draped over her body, and claws appeared from her fingertips as she killed sixteen sorcerers alone. This underwater scene was shot more than twenty times. After the filming, Wen Chu was afraid to see water for a long time.
The fifth video is a fantasy drama, shot in the mountains. A cliff fall scene was shot seven times, not to mention the other large and small wirework.
The sixth video is a modern school bullying drama, □□, who lost a leg in a bomb while trying to save his classmates. In this shot, Wen Chu was rolling around. Later, he was so depressed after being injured that he jumped off the building. The characters who occasionally dragged their legs, did not show their faces or wore masks in the long-range shots were all replaced by Wen Chu.
After these six videos came out.
Everyone was stunned.
"What?"
"I'm not seeing things."
"So many classic scenes were performed by stand-ins? What did Qi Yuan play? 208 is really lucrative."
Before fans and passersby here had time to be surprised, Qimeng also released a video collection, which was divided into three parts. It included classic clips of the female knight, as well as several dramas that Xingyao missed. Because it is a collection, each shot is slightly shorter, but there are more of them.
Seeing this, Xi Ning followed the trend.
Several short videos were posted, all of which were taken by Wen Chu with great effort, with Qi Yuan smoking nearby. There were also two videos of Qi Yuan lying directly on a chair, also in costume, making a phone call.
“???”
"That's outrageous."
"This isn't called a stuntman, this is called being a slave. A contract adds another money-making machine."
"??? I want to know which of these dramas Qi Yuan filmed herself. I want to see a comparison."
"The ones that show faces, right? But the highlights are all in these high-intensity fighting scenes."
"Qi Yuan, if you can't act, get out."
"It also reveals the hard work of stuntmen. I speak up for them."
"Wen Chu, you should come to the screen!"
"Slander, slander! Yuanyuan, let's sue them."
"Since they are all stunt actors, then they should be the ones doing the stunts. Qi Yuan's back injury hasn't healed yet, so how can we shoot these high-intensity scenes? Otherwise, what's the point of having a martial arts instructor?"
"It's so funny, the one above, then you should tell your Yuanyuan to shut up. She said that others didn't do anything for her, and she negated other people's contributions with a simple trick. She also said that others are villains who betrayed their faith. If it were me, I would have run away long ago. Why did I do so much for her?"
"The real villain is Qi Yuan. Please face the facts."
Qi Yuan stared at the tablet.
The phone on the table kept ringing, several mobile phones were ringing, Shu Mei hung up the calls from others, and Xinghe Hesheng sent messages to curse people.
Shu Mei gritted her teeth and said, "We've fallen into a trap. Xingyao is waiting for us here."
Qi Yuan was trembling all over. She called Gu Cheng's cell phone number, but the caller hung up at first and then didn't answer. She had been in the industry for nearly ten years and had never experienced such a turmoil.
She looked up and said in disbelief, "You said Xingyao set a trap for me?"
Shu Mei slammed the table and said, "It's a trap. This time, the big shot's live broadcast room didn't follow the rules for the interview. They just wanted to use you as a mouthpiece to turn up the heat and then do this reversal."
Qi Yuan was stunned as she watched the viral video on her tablet.
Fang Yi also sent a message, but it was not to comfort, but... to give advice.
Fang Yi: I once told you to forgive others when you can, but you didn’t listen. Now you are fighting back.
Qi Yuan: Get lost.
Fang Yi shrugged and didn't reply to her.

Weibo is buzzing with activity.
Various videos are constantly emerging.
Wen Chu was still filming. After she came out of the camera, everyone in the crew was looking at her. Li Qing and others came up and touched her face.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Wen Chu was slightly stunned.
Zhu Ru smiled and covered her mouth, pulled her to a seat and handed her a tablet to look at. An hour ago, the hot topic was still #that is, what can she play##She can't stand in for anything#.
Hot topics now #Wen Chu's drama##The role Wen Chu replaced##The sword dance of the female knight was filmed by Wen Chu##How much is the award for Best Actress in Highway Pursuit?#
Wen Chu also saw the video released by Xingyao.
As if he had been prepared.
Zhu Ru pinched her waist and said, "This can be regarded as a counterattack to the previous topic."
"Making these videos is not easy. The Qimeng editing department worked through several nights to finish them. Who knew they would be one step behind Xingyao? Moreover, the interview with Dawan Live today revealed something fishy. It was like someone ignited it, becoming a fuse. Only then did our videos achieve such high popularity."
Wen Chu looked at these videos and saw that their popularity was still rising.
She also saw passersby speaking up for her and comments criticizing Qi Yuan. She realized that she could fight back in this way, which was better than just saying anything.
Zhu Ru pressed her shoulder and said, "But I have to say, Xingyao did a good job this time. If Mr. Gu comes again next time, reward him with a look."
Wen Chu raised his eyes and met Zhu Ru's smile.
Zhu Ru smiled and said, "Men can be used for fun sometimes."
Wen Chu frowned.
She asked, "Really?"
"certainly."
At this moment, Zhu Ru's phone rang. She glanced at the caller, cursed, and said, "Qi Yuan is suppressing the hype, deleting videos, and sending out internet trolls."
"Just focus on filming, I'll take care of it." After saying that, Zhu Ru picked up the laptop, sat down and started working. As for water army, everyone has them.
Wen Chu suddenly felt at ease. Watching Zhu Ru working hard on the keyboard, she looked at Jiang Ran and the teachers who were filming, and felt that the sky was getting brighter.
As a top entertainment company, Xinghe has plenty of ways to reverse public opinion, and its public relations capabilities are naturally top-notch. Not only are videos easily deleted, but classic videos in which Qi Yuan appears have also been re-released to offset Wen Chu's videos. The internet trolls are out, praising and criticizing at the same time.
Even large-scale reporting.
Xi Ning's videos are most likely to be attacked because her account does not completely belong to her. Due to the company's pressure and internal operations, her videos are taken down the fastest.
Qi Meng is fighting a guerrilla war with the people Qi Yuan hired. You delete me, report me, and I will create another one.
The only account that remains standing is Xingyao's. It is stable and safe. No one can touch it, not even if Xinghe tries every possible way.
He Sheng was a little annoyed.
He called Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng was in a meeting. When he saw the incoming call, he turned it off and continued with the meeting.
He Sheng sent a message in frustration.
He Sheng: Mr. Gu, I originally released Teacher Wen, such a promising young talent, at your request. I was aiming for a win-win situation, with each developing independently and then allowing them to meet at the top. But you can't break the rules. You set Teacher Qi up, and then you turn the tables. Are you two families abandoning their friendship? I heard that the two old men were very close when they were young. You should be careful.
Gu Cheng sneered.
He edited: Mr. He, you don’t have to worry about this.
He Sheng: Mr. Gu, you know, Teacher Qi is our pillar. You are making an enemy of Xinghe.
Gu Cheng: Oh.
He Sheng:.......
Md
He Sheng cursed in his heart.
