After emphasizing once again that the person beside him was his sister, Ji Lin listened to the fans shouting in unison and instantly felt refreshed. Siyu covered her face. She felt like she was about to be cooked alive under the intense gazes of dozens of pairs of eyes.
Actually, as a celebrity, she had to get used to the feeling of being the center of attention. Unfortunately, she had no intention of staying in the entertainment industry for a long time. Therefore, other than acting and appearing on variety shows, she had never been in close contact with her fans. Today, she finally realized how passionate these people were.
Siyu felt very uncomfortable being stared at by so many people. She quickly pulled Ji Lin, who wanted to show off, to sit down. Fortunately, the actors' seats were separated from the audience. She had a petite figure, so as soon as she sat down, she shrank into her seat and blocked those burning gazes. She felt a little better.
"A Lin, stop fooling around. This is a pre-screening. We're not the main characters today." Siyu whispered to Ji Lin. After thinking about it, she knew why Ji Lin did that. Last time, during the live broadcast, this guy was about to proudly announce their sibling relationship. However, the netizens didn't think he was revealing anything. They thought he was just joking around. Ji Lin was happy for nothing. After the show ended, he was depressed for a long time. He had been sharpening his knife, waiting for a good opportunity to announce it again.
This kind of secret relationship involved the privacy of the two families. If it wasn't handled properly, it would damage Ji Lin's image. Siyu thought it was better to slowly reveal it step by step. At the very least, she had to remove Ji Lin from the Ji family first.
"I just gave them some gifts. I didn't ask them to shout …" Ji Lin defended himself. Then, when he saw his sister's helpless expression, he immediately changed his words and obediently admitted his mistake. "It's my fault. I won't be so reckless next time!"
Siyu, "…" He admitted defeat so quickly. What else could she say? He could only let him off lightly.
When the movie was about to start, Siyu saw Han Tiantian and Xu Qingwan walking over one after the other. Han Tiantian's lips were tightly pursed, and her usually sweet and pleasant face was dark, as if she was suppressing her anger. Xu Qingwan, who was walking behind her, was obviously dressed up. She was wearing expensive clothes from head to toe. She walked over gracefully with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her face seemed to be somewhat proud.
Han Tiantian didn't even look. He rushed to the empty seat on the other side of the Siyu and sat down. His face was cold and he didn't say a word.
Xu Qingwan, on the other hand, had a clear goal. He walked straight towards Ji Lin. Obviously, he wanted to occupy the empty seat next to Ji Lin.
F * ck, Ji Lin cursed in his heart. Did this woman even know how to read people's faces? He had already half-openly rejected her in the entertainment industry, but she still dared to approach him shamelessly? When normal people encountered such a situation, even if they didn't stay far away from him, at least they wouldn't dare to approach him. However, Xu Qingwan was different. She still seized every opportunity to get close to Ji Lin. Ji Lin didn't understand. Could it be that Xu Qingwan was a masochist?
Ji Lin immediately wanted to change his seat, but the seat next to the Siyu was already occupied by Han Tiantian. Besides, with so many people watching, he couldn't act like a child and make a fuss about chasing Xu Qingwan away. Otherwise, he would embarrass the entire crew.
Xu Qingwan was certain of this and walked over without hesitation. Seeing that she was about to sit down, Ji Lin's eyes lit up. He noticed that Director Liang was walking over from the entrance, so he whispered something to Siyu and immediately got up to greet Director Liang. He started chatting with him very naturally. As they chatted, he conveniently sat down in the middle of the director's group.
Xu Qingwan watched as Ji Lin slipped away without looking back. Her sharp nails left marks on the soft leather seat. "…"
Xu Qingwan was still a little afraid of Director Liang. Knowing that he didn't like her, Ji Lin hid next to Director Liang. Naturally, she didn't have the courage to chase after him.
After Ji Lin left, of course, she couldn't stay near Siyu. She turned around and sat down in a seat further away.
Han Tiantian sat next to her and saw everything that had just happened. He didn't hide the sarcasm in his eyes. He snorted and muttered, "Serves her right!"
"Did Xu Qingwan provoke you?" Siyu turned her head and asked Han Tiantian in a low voice. In her impression, Han Tiantian and Xu Qingwan didn't have much interaction, so there shouldn't be any grudges between them. However, Han Tiantian suddenly walked over angrily and even sneered at Xu Qingwan. She was sure that Xu Qingwan had provoked her.
Han Tiantian and Siyu had a good relationship. At this time, he didn't hide anything and said coldly, "She stole my job. That's fine. This kind of thing isn't uncommon in the entertainment industry. Those who have the ability to steal jobs usually have someone backing them up. As long as they don't go too far, they usually give up and fight for the next opportunity. However, this Xu Qingwan is different.
She even came to apologize to me! "Although Han Tiantian took the sweet route, he had a fiery temper. Otherwise, he wouldn't have kicked his original company out immediately after finding out that they were supporting those who were powerful and stepping on those who were weak. Ji Lin had always been a movie star. Therefore, he blocked Xu Qingwan's path in the movie industry. He didn't have the ability to reach out to the television industry. Xu Qingwan hit a wall everywhere and had no choice but to give up the path of becoming a god in the movie industry and planned to take on a television series.
However, she wasn't an A-list actress. She didn't have a chance to be the main character of a good television series. She didn't want to be a minor character, so she thought of another way. She used the dividends she earned from her shares to invest in the web series. However, this way, she bumped into Han Tiantian, who was looking for opportunities after going solo. Originally, this web series was already in negotiations with Han Tiantian. Xu Qingwan threw money at Han Tiantian. Web series had always been short of money, so she unkindly kicked Han Tiantian out and gave the role to Xu Qingwan.
Han Tiantian didn't want to argue with her at first. However, when she bumped into Xu Qingwan in the corridor just now, Xu Qingwan kept apologizing. She said that she really needed this opportunity and would do her best to compensate her in the future. She even asked Han Tiantian if he was interested in playing a supporting role.
Han Tiantian was so angry that she vomited blood. Supporting role? She hadn't fallen to the point where she had to play a supporting role for Xu Qingwan!
In the past, she didn't understand why Ji Lin was so hostile to Xu Qingwan. Now, she finally understood. This woman really had a problem with her brain!
The more Han Tiantian thought about it, the angrier she got. It didn't matter if she lost an opportunity, but having someone show off in front of her was like a slap to her face. She couldn't take this lying down. Therefore, she, who had always been a straightforward person, quarreled with Xu Qingwan in the corridor.
That corridor was the backstage staff's passageway. At that time, Han Tiantian didn't see anyone at all. However, after scolding for a while, she suddenly heard the sound of a camera shutter. Looking in the direction of the sound, she caught a glimpse of a figure quickly sneaking away from the back door. Needless to say, her scolding must have been heard.
Han Tiantian immediately questioned Xu Qingwan. However, Xu Qingwan clenched her teeth and insisted that she didn't do anything. She refused to admit it and only cried. Han Tiantian didn't catch her to confront her, so she couldn't do anything to her.
At this point, if Han Tiantian still couldn't figure out that this was a trap, she would have wasted all her years in the entertainment industry.
"I've asked my assistant to investigate it. I've also asked the public relations department to keep a close eye on it. I'm most afraid of being recorded." Han Tiantian's face darkened. "No wonder Xu Qingwan didn't say a word at that time and let me scold her. It was all set up."
Siyu frowned. "Is she crazy?"
Xu Qingwan seemed to have changed into a different person. She was too radical and increasingly unscrupulous. It seemed like she wanted to repeat the same old tricks, just like how she hired the Internet Water Army to slander Siyu. She wanted to step on Han Tiantian to raise her own status. Did she want to make her presence known so badly?
Han Tiantian said, "I don't know if she's crazy or not, but I won't let the matter of her scheming against me go so easily."
This woman was a mad dog that bit people randomly. He didn't offend her and didn't even speak much to her. Yet, he was set up secretly … Han Tiantian was also anxious. She had left her original company and started her own business. She wasn't as good as she used to be in every aspect. There were only a few people in her studio and their abilities were extremely limited. Although she vowed to Siyu that she would pursue the matter, she knew in her heart that she was going to suffer a loss this time.
"Don't be afraid. I'll help you think of a way." Siyu turned the phone in her hand and thought of Lu Xingzhou. He was the president of Huanyi and also Xu Qingwan's immediate superior. Han Tiantian couldn't do it alone, but Huanyi could. They just had to inform the major media in advance and suppress any unfavorable news about Han Tiantian.
Han Tiantian forced a smile and didn't take Siyu's words too seriously. She knew that Siyu and Ji Lin had a good relationship, but a good relationship couldn't control all the media's mouths. Moreover, she still didn't know who was playing dirty tricks behind her back!
"Thank you … Forget it. I'll solve this matter myself. You don't have to get involved with that annoying fly." Han Tiantian was full of disgust at the mention of Xu Qingwan.
Siyu leaned over and held her arm, patting it comfortingly.
Everyone had arrived, and Director Liang went up to say a few words of welcome as usual. Then, he simply started the screening of the film. As the opening credits flashed past, a long shot from above chased a group of fleeing women in palace attire through the corridors, through the imperial gardens, and through the magnificent palace. Along the way, there were sounds of fighting and smoke rising everywhere. Some of these women were accidentally injured by weapons and died tragically, while others panicked and ran in the wrong direction. In the end, only two people were left in the group at the beginning, Yun He and Yunmeng.
At the beginning of the film, there weren't any lines, but Director Liang was very skillful. He only used a long shot to perfectly render the austere atmosphere of the city being destroyed. The fans at the back all couldn't help but hold their breaths, especially when the two sisters were discovered by the rebel army and started a chase in the long and narrow palace. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly, and some of the girls were so nervous that their hands were sweating.
Liu Yu was still chewing on the custard bun that Ji Lin gave her, but she was quickly attracted by the exciting and tight plot. She stared at the screen intently and even forgot about the bun that she was chewing halfway. When the scene came to the part where Yunmeng pushed her sister out to attract the attention of the enemy in order to escape, she took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the secret passage, and Yunmeng was roughly tied up by the rebel army and used all kinds of torture to extort a confession, she seemed to empathize with her sister, and her heart suddenly clenched.
Liu Yu wasn't the only one. When the fans present saw Siyu's pale face on the screen and her trembling body that was constantly coughing up blood, they couldn't help but feel pity for her.
These fans knew that Siyu's health wasn't good, but she usually used makeup to cover it up when she went on shows, so it didn't seem serious. However, according to the crew, Siyu basically went on stage without makeup during filming. In other words, what they were seeing now was Siyu's most realistic state!
That coughing up blood couldn't be real, right?
Speaking of which, it was strange. When Siyu acted as the sickly beauty, she had a very special aura. Even if other actors were better at acting and more experienced than her, it was difficult for them to portray that aura. Her every move was sickly, soft, and brittle, like a porcelain doll that had become a spirit. Therefore, the fans couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
But when the film showed Yunmeng and the new emperor meeting for the first time, this kind of heartache quickly turned into eager anticipation.
The sibling scene that they had been waiting for for a long time was finally here!
One was the new emperor who had already ascended the throne, the other was a prisoner of a fallen country. The two people's gazes collided. The new emperor had never seen such a woman before. She was proud and had seen through the world. He didn't lack strategists, but he lacked a confidant who understood him. Therefore, the new emperor hid from everyone and secretly imprisoned Yunmeng under the palace.
When the new emperor lifted Yunmeng's chin and forced her to look directly at him, Liu Yu was still able to control her excitement. When the new emperor carried Yunmeng into the underground palace, Liu Yu's auntie's smile never disappeared. When the new emperor was completely convinced by Yunmeng's talent and knowledge, his initial attitude of treating a prisoner changed to that of treating an elder, especially in the scene where the new emperor carefully knelt on the ground while Yunmeng was leaning against the bed and gently placed his head on her thighs. When he rubbed his head against her thighs affectionately, Liu Yu almost screamed.
At this moment, there were countless little people howling in her heart. What kind of shocking candy was this ah ah ah ah — —
At the actors' table, Siyu was also watching very carefully. It was also her first time watching the finished film. She originally thought that her performance would not be very good, but after watching the whole process, she was a little surprised. She could actually act like this?
She watched with rapt attention.
The lights in the stadium were very dim, so she couldn't see people's faces clearly. Occasionally, people would walk out, so when a person walked past Siyu, she didn't pay much attention. However, this person didn't go far. Instead, he sat down in the empty seat next to Siyu.
A very familiar sandalwood fragrance came from the person next to her, instantly triggering Siyu's radar alarm.
She withdrew her attention from the movie and turned her head in a panic. At such a close distance, she could barely see the person's side profile with the help of a little bit of light. As expected, her guess was confirmed.
"Fifth Master?" Siyu whispered. Fortunately, the sound effects of the movie were good enough to cover her voice. Han Tiantian next to her was eating popcorn with relish and didn't notice the movement on Siyu's side.
Fifth Master Lu sat upright in his seat, as if his sudden appearance in this place was a very normal and reasonable thing. It was only when he heard Si Yu's address that he smiled slightly: "You're wrong."
Siyu was stunned. After a while, she remembered that Fifth Master Lu had asked her to call his name directly last time. After hesitating for a few seconds, Siyu did as she was told. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's. "Lu … Yuanhe?"
Fifth Master Lu twirled the prayer beads and seemed to be very happy, so he praised her. "Good acting."
Although he had just arrived and didn't see much at all, the words coming out of his mouth were 100% credible. Siyu awkwardly thanked him. She felt strange in her heart. It wasn't that she was sensitive. After all, Fifth Master Lu was temperamental. Who knew what he would do next after praising someone.
It was rare for him to be so pleasant, but Siyu was reflexively scared.
However, as soon as Fifth Master Lu finished speaking, the scene of the new emperor sneaking into the underground palace after Yunhe fell asleep appeared on the screen. He lay on the edge of the bed and watched her all night. In the end, he couldn't help but hold her hand and fall asleep. Fifth Master Lu paused and immediately changed his tone. He coldly and mercilessly commented:
"This scene is redundant. The acting is too bad."
Siyu: "??!!"
