Yang Cheng looked around and saw that no one else was looking for trouble. He smiled and said, "That's right. Since we're all here to work, we should respect each other. Don't try to harm others for your own benefit. Don't you think so?"
The group of people quickly nodded and showed flattering smiles.
But Zhang Kaiwei, whose face was half swollen like a pig's head, was bleeding and bruised, had bloodshot eyes!
Zhang Kaiwei struggled to get up and wiped the blood and saliva from the corner of his mouth. He was so angry that he was shaking.
Pointing at Yang Cheng, Zhang Kaiwei said with hatred, "How dare you hit me?! You're done for! Do you know who my backer is?! Just wait to go to court and go to jail!! My millions of fans in Hua Xia can drown you with their saliva! "
As soon as he said that, many people looked at Zhang Kaiwei as if he was an idiot.
He could casually call for the help of an American superstar, so what was the use of your backing!?
Yang Cheng's smile froze. He glanced at Zhang Kaiwei's bodyguards and saw that they were all lying on the ground, so he hooked his finger at one of the crew members.
The crew member broke out in a cold sweat. His smile was uglier than crying. He bowed and asked, "Director Yang … You … What's the matter?"
Yang Cheng smiled innocently and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't be nervous. I just want to borrow a camera …"
"A camera?"
Yang Cheng nodded and smiled weirdly.
…
Half an hour passed. The dozens of reporters and cameramen waiting outside the film crew were already eating and chatting.
In this line of work, waiting was a must. How could there be surprises without waiting?
Just as the reporters were bored to death, a few members of the film crew walked over and brought out a projector for the live broadcast.
After the group of people put the projector in place, the reporters didn't understand what was going on.
Soon, the reporters were excited!
Director Yu Shuo and a group of main crew members walked out one after another.
Yu Shuo's expression was very complicated. He signaled for everyone to be quiet and said, "Everyone, I know that everyone is wondering what we are going to do. In fact, we are going to announce a very unfortunate fact."
The reporters were excited and raised their heads in anticipation.
Yu Shuo paused for a moment before saying, "We have to change the male lead at the last minute!"
"Ah!?"
The group of reporters was in an uproar again. This was breaking news! Why would such a highly anticipated movie change actors at the last minute? It would definitely be headline entertainment news!
"Director Yu Shuo, what's going on? Is it because of the conflict between the crew or something else? Is Zhang Kaiwei not up to the task? "
Yu Shuo clapped his hands, signaling for the reporters to calm down. Then, he signaled his staff to play a recorded video.
"Everyone, please watch the next few minutes quietly …"
The reporters focused and quietened down. They stared at the screen, not daring to make a sound.
Soon, a pig's head and face appeared on the screen. He was in a sorry state.
The reporters took a closer look and realized that it was Zhang Kaiwei, who had always been famous for his good looks?!
The reporters gasped. He had been beaten so badly that his eyelids were drooping!
The content that followed was even more explosive. Zhang Kaiwei cried bitterly as he recounted his own "secret" ….
"… I was in a relationship with the second daughter of the Wang family. I wanted her to provide for me so that I could be promoted … The rumor of me having an affair with the female celebrity, Mi Yang, was actually created by me sending someone to secretly record our conversation … I used to take drugs and was almost caught. I paid the people around me to keep it a secret … I secretly slept with a gay rich businessman …"
Unbearable scandals were reported one after another. However, they were all Zhang Kaiwei's own problems. He did not cause any trouble for the other celebrities.
"Everyone, please don't think that I was forced to say these things … Today, I purposely used my connections to make Miss Lin Hui act with me in a face-to-face kiss scene. However, Miss Lin Hui was very insistent and refused to give in to the unspoken rules. I couldn't use force and was beaten up by Miss Lin Hui, who practiced martial arts …
I know I was wrong. Please forgive me. I'm willing to accept the punishment of the law … "
Such a final statement made the matter seem so certain!
The reporters felt like they were in a dream. They were speechless.
They had been looking forward to explosive news, but this … was too unbelievable!
Yu Shuo coughed a few times and said in a loud voice, "We are heartbroken by what happened to Zhang Kaiwei. He fainted and was sent to the hospital because of the shock.
In order to protect her rights as an actress, Miss Lin Hui has done such a thing. We all understand and support her. Please continue to support Miss Lin Hui and her movie. The new male lead will be announced after the investor, Yu Lei International, chooses the male lead. Thank you, everyone! "
Only then did the scene become noisy. All the reporters rushed to ask questions. However, Yu Shuo signaled his men to stop them and slipped away.
What happened next was easy to solve. All they had to do was take some time to hold a press conference for Hui Lin and show off a little. Everyone would naturally believe that it was Hui Lin who did this.
Zhang Kaiwei's path to stardom would then be over. Instead of struggling, he would just take some money and leave.
Yang Cheng did not choose to kill him. Firstly, this was a public matter. If he killed him, it would be hard to deal with the aftermath. Secondly, for someone like Zhang Kaiwei, such a punishment would be much more painful than killing him.
Most importantly, it would raise Hui Lin's reputation. It would attract more attention and improve her image as a celebrity.
Those in the crew who knew the truth did not dare to say a word. Provoking Yang Cheng for no reason would be courting death.
As the matter was settled, Yang Cheng had lunch with the crew. As the director, he pretended to check on the progress of the work and discussed the selection of the new male lead.
Fortunately, Zhang Kaiwei did not have many scenes. It would not take much effort to change the male lead.
What interested Yang Cheng was the "Wushu Director" in the movie.
The crew who had seen Yang Cheng beat someone up knew that Yang Cheng was a martial artist. Moreover, Yang Cheng pointed out that Hui Lin knew martial arts. A lot of things had to be changed.
The Wushu Director of the crew was quite famous in the circle. However, in the eyes of Yang Cheng and Hui Lin, it was just a showy but impractical move.
Therefore, under Yang Cheng's request, the Wushu Director of the movie was changed to Hui Lin.
The female lead was actually a Wushu Director. This was a big selling point of the movie.
Director Yu Shuo was quite excited. With Hui Lin's excellent qualifications, she could complete many difficult movements. Before that, he could design the scenes that he could not complete for the sake of the actors' abilities.
After chatting for two hours, it was already evening. Yang Cheng remembered that Lin Ruoxi wanted him to go home to eat her stewed pork ribs with corn. He said goodbye to her and left.
"Big Brother Yang, let me send you off!" Hui Lin said softly when she saw this.
Yang Cheng saw that the girl seemed to have something to say. He nodded.
The two of them walked to the entrance. There was no one around, and Hui Lin was still in her costume. She looked like a beautiful heroine strolling in an autumn evening in a costume drama.
"Thank you, Brother Yang. If you didn't come, I wouldn't know what to do," Hui Lin said softly.
Yang Cheng chuckled. "You sent me off just to say this? We don't need to say 'thank you'. "
Hui Lin pursed her lips and smiled. "Of course I have to thank you. After all, we don't have any special relationship …"
Yang Cheng could tell that something was amiss. He shrugged his shoulders uncomfortably.
Hui Lin seemed to have mustered up her courage. She suddenly asked, "Brother Yang … Will you help me when a man wants to kiss me in the future?"
Yang Cheng replied without thinking, "Of course. Don't tell them that I'm here. You can just kick them away. I'll support you."
"But … I can't be like this forever …"
"Ah? What do you mean … "Yang Cheng was stunned.
Hui Lin's watery eyes were covered with a layer of mist. "I'm already in my twenties. Sooner or later … that day will come …"
This time, Yang Chen suddenly understood the girl's meaning … …
That's right! What was he thinking? Did he want her to stay away from other men for the rest of her life?
