In fact, a big V had previously revealed that Yu Rou had a financial backer, but there was no evidence and no one in the circle came out to say it. As soon as the news came out, Meng Xiaoyu immediately posted a blog hinting that this was true, and fans of both sides immediately started arguing under their Weibo posts.
In the evening, actor Chu Zheng liked a video of Yu Rou and Ji Youjun showing off their acting skills. Although he quickly deleted it, he has so many fans that some naturally took screenshots. Later, he explained that Chu Zheng had accidentally posted the like.
As the male lead of "The Face Reader", Chu Zheng's liking of that Weibo post has caused netizens to speculate about what it meant.
It wasn't until the author of "The Fortune Teller" responded in an interview that he had indeed added more scenes for Yu Rou that everyone began to believe the rumors that Yu Rou had a financial backer. Even though the author explained that the reason for adding more scenes was because he felt Yu Rou acted very well and brought the character in his mind to life, not many people believed it.
Yu Rou has too many haters, and there are also a lot of online influencers trying to stir up trouble. Their rhetoric is all over the place, and it's really unreasonable to suddenly give Yu Rou, the third female lead, more scenes.
Especially those black fans, even after watching the video of Yu Rou acting with Ji Youjun on "Cao Duo Wu Kou", they still felt that Yu Rou had no acting skills at all and that it was just a coincidence.
Meng Xiaoyu and Xiao Qiao's Weibo posts were filled with messages of comfort. Xiao Qiao was fine, she didn't say anything. No matter how much Yu Rou's role was increased, she was still the main actress, and at most she would be overshadowed.
However, Meng Xiaoyu, after knowing that Yu Rou had added more scenes, went to her sponsor to complain. Her sponsor was quite fond of her, so she called the producer to ask about it herself. But she was told that Shen Jue had added another 500 million yuan to the investment of "The Face Reader" yesterday, and Shen Jue was now the main producer of the film.
Meng Xiaoyu originally thought that with the help of his financial sponsor, he would be able to curb Yu Rou's arrogance. After knowing the result, Meng Xiaoyu was so angry that his face turned blue.
She secretly went to the studio to discredit Yu Rou without telling her agent.
The matter fermented for a few days, and suddenly many netizens launched a vote online, saying that they wanted to replace Yu Rou, or delete Yu Rou's role, otherwise they would refuse to watch "The Fortune Teller".
Most of these people are fans of Meng Xiaoyu and Xiao Qiao. They both have a large number of fans, and with the help of some keyboard warriors who are unaware of the truth, things have become difficult to handle.
Meng Xiaoyu originally thought that her actions would cause the director and crew to respond, but the filming continued as normal and Yu Rou was not affected at all.
Originally, the film "The Face Reader" had a lot of investment, but Director Zhang had high requirements and kept striving for perfection. Many costumes, props and scenes had to be produced at a huge cost, so the funds were still tight. Shen Jue suddenly added 500 million, and did not need Yu Rou to be the first protagonist, just keep her original role. Of course, the director agreed, and over the past few days, he was very satisfied with Yu Rou. She had solid acting skills and was not as unprofessional as the rumors said. Some shots were obviously good, but she insisted on perfection and reshot them to do her best. She is indeed a rare good actor.
Therefore, Director Zhang not only did not delete Yu Rou's scenes, but he discussed the plot with Yu Rou every day on the set, acting as if he valued and liked her very much.
The filming went smoothly. A week later, Yu Rou finished filming her scenes and the crew even held a dinner for her.
Originally, Yu Rou didn't know what Chen Jue did in private until she went to the dinner party and toasted Director Zhang with a glass of wine.
Director Zhang was drunk. He was usually serious, but now his face was flushed. He smiled and raised his glass, saying, "Xiao Yu, please say thank you to Mr. Shen for me."
Director Zhang lowered his voice deliberately. Everyone was talking and laughing, and the room was a bit noisy, so only Yu Rou and the assistant director and Xiao Qiao who were sitting on either side of Director Zhang heard it.
Xiao Qiao looked at Yu Rou with an ambiguous look, as if smiling but not smiling.
Yu Rou only raised her eyebrows without showing any unnaturalness. She smiled and nodded, then drank the wine in the glass. "Director Zhang, I'm sorry for causing you trouble these days."
"No, you're great. You've been under a lot of pressure these days. Now that filming is finished, take a few days off. I've been preparing for a play for several years, and there's a role in it that's perfect for you. Come and try it out when the time comes."
As soon as Director Zhang said this, Xiao Qiao's expression changed. He had a smile on his face just now, but now his eyes were much duller.
Many people know that Director Zhang has been preparing for this film for several years. It is a film that will compete for international awards. The heroine has not been confirmed yet. Director Zhang will not really choose Yu Rou as the heroine, right?
Xiao Qiao originally wanted to fight for the female lead in that drama. Her agent tried to get her the role for a long time, but Director Zhang refused to agree. Later, he agreed to let her play the female lead in "The Fortune Teller". Xiao Qiao was not very willing at first, but she agreed later. She also wanted to take this opportunity to perform well in front of Director Zhang, hoping that Director Zhang would change his mind and let her try the role.
Could it be that Yu Rou got there first?
That shouldn’t be the case. The supporting actress for that drama hasn’t been decided yet. Maybe she’ll just be a supporting actress.
Xiao Qiao's mind was in turmoil and he stared at Yu Rou for a long time.
After the dinner, Xiao Chen sent Yu Rou home.
Yu Rou called her agent and asked him to check and found out that Shen Jue had become the new investor of "The Face Reader". The agent didn't know about it before and asked Yu Rou vaguely on the phone what her current relationship with Shen Jue was.
No one knew about Yu Rou and Shen Jue's secret marriage. They had agreed not to make it public, and even their agent couldn't tell anyone. Although they were divorced, it was also a secret.
Yu Rou had no choice but to say, "It doesn't matter."
Of course, the agent didn't believe it and said in a bad tone: "Is it necessary for you to hide it from me at this time? It's not a bad thing for you and Mr. Shen to be together. If you really are together, I have to prepare in advance."
