Chapter 58: Toads don’t bite, they just annoy people On Sunday afternoon, the press conference of Lin Yuyan's new drama "Autumn Meteor" was held. Fu Siheng was invited to be the male lead, and several popular young actresses in the circle will be the female leads. They will be witnesses and guides of the male lead's gradual transformation from the ignorance of his youth to new drama is labeled as a fantasy theme which is rarely touched upon in the circle. It claims to change the current situation where urban romance is disliked by the audience. The publicity is very hype, but it has never really come true. Therefore, on the day of the press conference, the scene was packed with people. At first, everything went according to procedure. As an award-winning actor, Fu Siheng had a strong fan base and the on-site interaction was very active, until a gossip media reporter suddenly asked an extremely embarrassing question. The reporter pointed his finger at Lin Yuyan: "Director Lin, we all know that you and Director Shen Ming, who is currently broadcasting the hit Ultraman Tiga on Star TV, were classmates. May I ask if you chose to dabble in an unpopular fairy tale drama this time because you want to compete with Director Shen, who created the genre of special effects dramas?" Lin Yuyan was stunned by the reporter's words. Is she being so obvious? But after going through so much, Lin Yuyan's ability to respond on the spot has improved a lot. Facing the flashing cameras and aggressive reporters, Lin Yuyan calmly replied: "Everything I do is to present better works to the audience. When we stay in the familiar field and cannot grow, we should be brave enough to take the first step." Lin Yuyan's words were very nice, but the reporters failed to get any explosive information from her, so they turned around and added fuel to the fire at Fu Siheng. "Excuse me, Mr. Fu, what do you think of the recently popular "Ultraman Tiga"?" Fu Siheng said nothing, his cold eyes fixed on the reporter, and asked, "What do you want to hear from me? This is the press conference for our new drama, not an excuse for you to attract attention. If you mention something irrelevant again, I will ask the security to kick you out!"
Fu Siheng's warning was very effective. The gossip reporter sat down angrily. The press conference was finally completed without any major incidents. However, when removing her makeup backstage, Fu Siheng suddenly said to Lin Yuyan, "Director Lin, this is my first fairy tale drama, and I don't want anything to go wrong with it. So please tell Shen Ming not to play such a disgusting trick again." Lin Yuyan turned to look at him in surprise: "Do you think it was Shen Ming who asked that reporter to cause trouble?" "Otherwise? I've seen this kind of trick many times. Toads don't bite people, but they just annoy people." Fu Siheng left without looking back after saying this. Lin Yuyan sat in front of the dressing table in a daze, wondering how this matter was related to Shen Ming. The news of Lin Yuyan's new drama press conference was all over the Internet and everyone knew about it. Anyone could be involved. But Lin Yuyan believed that she had never offended anyone, and the only one she had a grudge against was Shen Ming. "Could it really be him?" Lin Yuyan murmured to herself. It was just a coincidence that I often went to the bar with Shen Ming when I took Fu Siheng to school. She and Fu Siheng lived in the same residential complex in Binhai City. That day, she was on vacation and wanted to go to a bar to reminisce about the past. She happened to meet Fu Siheng and symbolically asked him if he wanted to go with her. Fu Siheng actually agreed. Although the day ended in an unpleasant way, it did not lead to the breakdown of the partnership, so Lin Yuyan forgot about it. It was not until now that she realized that she had completely ignored Shen Ming's feelings. Maybe Shen Ming was just jealous. As long as she talks it out to Shen Ming, all misunderstandings will be resolved. Thinking of this, Lin Yuyan dialed Shen Ming's number. The call was connected quickly.
Seeing that Shen Ming hadn't blocked her, the little spark of hope in Lin Yuyan's heart grew a little brighter. At the same time, Shen Ming and others were busy in the crew. As soon as Lin Yuyan and others finished the press conference, Fu Siheng's fans couldn't wait to go crazy. "Any childish movie can really use my brother's traffic to his advantage now? That Ultraman is clearly for childish kids, how can it be compared with my brother? Is that reporter crazy?" "If you ask me, it must be that the crew of 'Tiga' can't make any money, so they want to cheat our brother. They are so vicious! This rotten crew with a dirty heart and rotten lungs should be reported and closed down!" "I heard that this crew had some scandals about abusing actors before, but they paid them off. I'm going to hunt them down and avenge my brother!" "." News like this almost flooded Weibo. Fu Siheng's crazy fans were going crazy almost everywhere. The comment section of the "Utopia" crew and Star Channel was the hardest hit, with all kinds of obscene language filling the screen, causing Shen Ming's eyes and brain to hurt. When Lin Yuyan called, Shen Ming thought it was another crazy fan who had found his phone number to harass him, and he was so annoyed that he almost smashed his phone on the spot. But thinking that he would have to contact the person in charge of public relations later, Shen Ming stopped raising his hand and looked at the contact person clearly - Lin Yuyan? Shen Ming's first reaction was that Lin Yuyan and her group wanted to harm him. After all, Fu Siheng had tacitly approved the fans' crazy behavior this time, and Lin Yuyan must have been involved. Shen Ming’s first reaction was to hang up. Unexpectedly, the phone was snatched away by Joanna. "Lin Yuyan, what do you want to say when you call? An apology? Then you go ahead, we are all ears." Joanna contacted eight PR agencies, but was rejected by all of them when she learned that she would have to confront Fu Siheng's fans. Now she is like a firecracker, exploding whoever touches her. Lin Yuyan has run into trouble. Shen Ming complained silently, and then gave a look to Sun Rui on the side, indicating that he should not get involved in this war between women. Lin Yuyan was still immersed in the fantasy of reconciling with Shen Ming. When she heard that Shen Ming's phone was in a woman's hand, she immediately frowned and asked, "Who are you? I'm looking for Shen Ming." "Director Shen was so angry about the evil scheme of you and Fu Siheng that he fell ill. If you have anything to say, tell me and I will convey it to you." Sun Rui, who was watching the show, looked at Shen Ming and asked, "Brother, are you sick?" Shen Ming cooperated by covering his chest, indicating that he had a heart disease that needed your heart to cure. Sun Rui thought to himself, do you think you are the mad king in Journey to the West who needs the heart of a holy monk to cure him? The two of them were making eye contact. Lin Yuyan on the other side was silent for a while, and finally chose to believe Joanna. "Please tell Shen Ming that Fu Siheng and I have nothing to do with each other. I will handle the matter on the Internet." After hanging up the phone, Joanna returned the phone to Shen Ming expressionlessly and continued to contact the public relations department. Her calm look made Shen Ming and the others lose their composure.
Shen Ming dragged Sun Rui over to do hard labor and sent her to film. "This is your first solo performance. Whether you can leave a deep impression on the audience depends on this time." Unexpectedly, Joanna suddenly pouted and muttered, "What's the point of leaving an impression on the audience? The person who promised to accompany me still broke the promise." (End of this chapter)
