Director Liang's "Lethal Beauty" was a big production that had received a lot of attention recently. Especially after the official announcement, all kinds of rumors surrounding the third female lead, Siyu, were stirred up. Many industry insiders were not optimistic about her. When they heard that Director Liang had specially added Siyu's scenes, they all said that Director Liang had made a mistake this time and were waiting for this movie to be a big flop after it was released.
As a result, while the movie was still being filmed, the discussion about "Lethal Beauty" on the Internet was already very high. Therefore, when the fire incident was exposed, it caused a huge uproar.
The first to riot were Ji Lin's fans. They were very active and immediately organized a group of people to go to the film studio and wait outside the hospital. If Ji Lin hadn't stood up in time to say that he wasn't with the crew that day, these fans might have torn down the hospital's entrance.
Since the most popular and influential person was fine, people turned their attention to the rest of the crew. At this time, a few photos quietly spread online.
These photos were said to be taken by a reporter who went to the hospital to block the entrance. In the photos, Xu Qingwan's hair was disheveled, the corners of her clothes were burned and curled up, and there was a hideous burn across her arm. When the reporter secretly took the photos, she didn't seem to realize it. Later, she hurriedly pulled down her sleeve, but the bloody bandage could still be vaguely seen.
There was a detailed report attached to the photos. The reporter used an extremely exaggerated tone to describe Xu Qingwan's "firefighting actions" and exaggerated the burn on her arm to a level ten burn, as if she was some righteous hero.
After these photos were exposed, Xu Qingwan posted a selfie on her Weibo, saying that she wanted to show her face to respond to the concern of her fans. She appeared on camera without makeup and looked very haggard. Although her injured arm was covered by clothes, she would stop talking after a while and use her hand to cover the wound. She frowned as if she couldn't bear the pain. "Thank you for your concern.
The doctor said that although the wound is serious, it can still recover … Yes, at that time, I was anxious to save people, so I didn't think too much about it. Fortunately, no one was hurt, so my injury this time was worth it … When filming 'Lethal Beauty', I fell into the water and had a high fever. I almost fell while filming a circus scene. Now, my arm has a burn scar. It can be said that I've had a lot of misfortune. I hope that these personal setbacks can be exchanged for good box office sales. Everyone, please remember to support my movie. "
Xu Qingwan's video was only a few minutes, but she cried several times. Coupled with her trying to cover up her wound made it more conspicuous, she looked very pitiful.
She had a lot of fans on Weibo, and she had the backing of capital. Once this Weibo post was posted, it immediately became the headline. Originally, all parties were paying close attention to how the 'Lethal Beauty' crew would deal with this major incident, but Xu Qingwan was the first to post. In an instant, everyone's attention was drawn to her.
Xu Qingwan stared at the crazily increasing number of views and shares on her Weibo. She saw that almost all the comments were praising her. She touched the scar on her arm and couldn't help but smile contemptuously.
This incident was a huge opportunity for her! As long as she could ride on the wave of popularity and create a persona that would rather get hurt than lose popularity!
In fact, if Ji Lin hadn't said that he would ruin the female lead role in her next movie, Xu Qingwan wouldn't have been so anxious. Ji Lin had a very good relationship with most of the well-known directors. Once he said something, she might not be able to get a big production in the future. In this day and age, who would remember you if you didn't have a big hit?
Xu Qingwan's initial goal was to become an A-list actress. If she could only take on those mediocre scripts, what was the use of that?
Thinking about Ji Lin's actions, Xu Qingwan gritted her teeth angrily. She didn't understand why Ji Lin did this. She had been trying her best to please him.
The more Xu Qingwan thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She only wanted to work hard to catch up with Ji Lin and become someone worthy of him. Why did Ji Lin have to deprive her of this opportunity?
Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough. As long as this wave of hype was established, she could still make a comeback!
…
"The crew hasn't released an official statement yet, but she's already acting pitiful!" Ji Lin had been sleeping in the hospital for the past few days. He stayed by Siyu's bedside every day. At this time, he was browsing through the public opinion about this incident on Weibo. At a glance, he saw Xu Qingwan's selfie video.
Xu Qingwan's tearful voice immediately turned into a pretense in Ji Lin's eyes. He frowned tightly and closed the video. He said coldly, "Sister, this woman really knows how to ride on the wave of popularity. This has nothing to do with her at all, but she jumped out. She's crazy!"
Ji Lin was very well-educated and rarely used such harsh words to describe a person. Siyu took the phone and listened to Xu Qingwan's words. Suddenly, she didn't know what to think.
At that time, all the staff present rushed to put out the fire and rescue equipment. Xu Qingwan was the only one who went out of her way to describe the incident in detail on Weibo. She even exposed the injury on her arm. The traces of her acting were too obvious.
At this time, Siyu had not dispelled her suspicions about Xu Qingwan. Although Lu Xingzhou had found out who the person who switched the prop was, she had a faint intuition that there was something fishy going on even if this incident had nothing to do with Xu Qingwan directly. After all, Xu Qingwan's behavior before the fire was really strange.
"By the way, A Lin, speaking of which, why did you suddenly interfere with Xu Qingwan's new contract?" Thinking of this, Siyu suddenly remembered the gossip that the makeup artist had told her before. She asked, "What happened? I remember that you never cared about these things in the past."
Hearing this, Ji Lin's face stiffened slightly.
What else could it be? Of course, it was because Xu Qingwan deliberately slandered Siyu. He was unhappy, so he deliberately made things difficult for her. However, Ji Lin did not want his sister to see his "bullying" side of him. He only said, "This person is like a sticky candy. Once you get involved with her, it's hard to get rid of her. I've had enough of this collaboration."
Duan Rulan thought that Ji Lin had relied on the support of the Ji family to get to where he was today. However, he did not know that Ji Lin had already established a firm foothold in the entertainment industry. Even if the Ji family collapsed, he was not afraid of fighting alone. After all, his status was there. He was a person who was one step away from becoming a god. Ordinary people could not shake him at all. Therefore, as long as he showed that he did not like Xu Qingwan, the other producers would naturally take advantage of him.
Xu Qingwan thought that she had just missed an opportunity. However, she did not know that the nose of the entertainment industry was very sensitive. It was basically impossible for famous directors to want to work with her in the future.
"She's fighting to be the first bird. Director Liang is not someone who is easy to deal with." Ji Lin snorted coldly. "The entire crew has been quiet. Only she is jumping out to jump out. Isn't she just asking for a scolding? No one is stupid. She's just someone who doesn't know the truth. "
"A Lin, can you help me ask Director Liang if the camera was still on when the accident happened? Did he keep the footage? If it's possible, I want to take a look. "Siyu still could not ignore her intuition.
Ji Lin was stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask any questions. He immediately contacted Director Liang. Director Liang was discussing how to deal with this incident. When he heard what Ji Lin said, he went to check and found that there really was a camera that hadn't been damaged. The footage inside was still usable.
Ji Lin turned around and told Siyu, "Director Liang said it can be viewed. However, he needs to see if there are any other videos that can be used. He will give them to you after he's done." Seeing Siyu's serious expression, Ji Lin could not help but ask, "Sis, are you suspecting something?"
Faced with her brother's worried gaze, Siyu pursed her lips and did not hide anything. "I don't really trust Xu Qingwan, so I want to see how she was doing when the accident happened. She said that she was putting out the fire from beginning to end, but I don't really believe her."
"That's true. That woman never speaks the truth," Ji Lin agreed wholeheartedly.
After the accident this time, all the traffic was attracted by Xu Qingwan's public pitifulness. Apart from Ji Lin, the netizens seemed to have forgotten that there were other celebrities in the crew. Siyu's Weibo only had a few greetings. However, at this time, she received a message from Wen Yuan asking if she was injured.
"It's nothing serious. There's just a problem with my throat. I might need to rest for a while," Siyu was surprised that Wen Yuan still cared about her, so she replied seriously.
In less than a minute, Wen Yuan replied instantly. "It's good that you're fine. I was worried about you. I happen to be filming in C City tomorrow, so I'll take some time to visit you at the hospital."
However, the problem was that she was not at the hospital. Instead, she had been moved to this private sanatorium by Fifth Master Lu … Siyu had asked around and found out that this sanatorium was basically used exclusively by the Lu Family. Occasionally, they would receive some important people. Ordinary people could not even enter, but they were still able to get into the sanatorium. Previously, assistant Shen Yue had called Siyu to complain tearfully that there were people camping at the hospital every day, forcing them to fight guerrilla warfare every time they visited.
Moreover, if someone were to take a photo of Wen Yuan visiting the hospital, Si Yu dared to guarantee that the next day's headlines would be dominated by them. After all, such a blunder had occurred during the confession punishment of the "Thoughtless Challenge" previously.
With that in mind, Siyu tactfully declined. "There's no need to trouble yourself. I'm not at the hospital. I'm temporarily staying at a friend's house. Thank you for your concern."
Actually, Siyu was a little puzzled. She had only filmed one episode of the show with this great actor. Coincidentally, they had been assigned to the same team. They could not be considered close, so why did Wen Yuan say that he wanted to visit her?
After receiving Siyu's tactful refusal, Wen Yuan did not insist. "Alright then. It just so happens that someone sent me some good tonics before. I'll get my assistant to send them to you. My crew is right next to yours, so it's very close."
However, her place was already filled with all kinds of treasures that Fifth Master Lu had people send over every two to three days. She was afraid that she would not be able to fit them all … However, Siyu felt that it would be unkind to reject Wen Yuan's kind intentions. Thus, she could only decline a few times before finally accepting it.
"It's Wen Yuan again?" Ji Lin was sitting by the bed and peeling an apple for Siyu. In the past few days, he had developed many new styles. Not only did he peel little rabbits, but he also peeled all kinds of animals. He was close to Siyu, so he caught a glimpse of the person who sent the message on her phone. Suddenly, he did not control his strength well and cut off the rabbit's ear.
"Yes, that's right." Siyu only looked up after replying to Wen Yuan's message. "He's coming over to film tomorrow. He originally said that he wanted to visit me, but I thought it would be inconvenient, so I didn't agree."
Ji Lin's face darkened. He felt that this person's intentions were clear to everyone. Wen Yuan did have a new show to film, but it would only start filming next month! What was he doing in C City now? Traveling?
As a result, Ji Lin 'accidentally' cut off the only remaining ear of the rabbit apple in Ji Lin's hand.
"Sis, this person won't do. I don't think he's suitable." Ji Lin held it in for a long time, but in the end, he could not hold it in and ratted out his old friend. "Wen Yuan is a workaholic. Once he starts filming, he won't be home for a few months. Moreover, he's a gaming nerd. When he's at home, he'll stay up late every night to eat PUBG. Other than cooking and being able to show off, there's nothing else good about him. Don't be fooled by the young girls outside who call him their husband …"
The more Siyu listened, the more she felt that something was amiss. Why did Ji Lin sound like he was picking a blind date for her?
"Stop, stop, stop. He's just saying a few words of concern. Don't think too much." Siyu helplessly stopped Ji Lin from rambling on.
Ji Lin was still muttering, "A thousand miles of dike can be destroyed by an ant's nest. Of course, we have to take precautions …" His sister was a fresh cabbage that not everyone could touch. Anyway, he felt that Wen Yuan had ulterior motives when he looked at him.
"You're talking about Wen Yuan? Why? Does Singapore still dare to let him in? " Just then, a cold voice came from outside the door. Siyu looked up and saw Fifth Master Lu, whom she had not seen for a long time, standing by the door, quietly staring at her.
