The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Although Zhou Fang was able to continue participating in the competition, she found that the contestants were very distant from her. Even if she took the initiative to greet them, they all seemed to avoid her.

When Zhou Fang wanted to open the door and enter the room prepared by the program crew, he found that his room had been vacated by the program crew.

Zhou Fang stood in the hotel lobby, hesitant for a moment, not knowing whether he should continue the competition or whether it would be a better choice to quit.

At this time, Zhou Fang suddenly met Luna who had rushed back from the set.

Luna was also a little surprised when she saw Zhou Fang. She walked up to Zhou Fang and said, "What's wrong? Zhou Fang?"

"Nothing, the production team just canceled my room, so I can only go back to the studio to draw the design drafts from now on."

Luna was a little surprised when she heard this, and said, "Really? I didn't know about this period, and I heard that my fans made trouble and had a conflict with you in the morning. I apologize to you on their behalf."

"This matter has nothing to do with you, but I didn't expect that even if I announced to the public that I have a boyfriend, there would still be so many people who didn't know the truth and were even unwilling to believe it."

Luna smiled after hearing this and said, "You'll get used to this kind of situation after seeing it more often. It's very common in the entertainment industry. I still remember that when we were filming a TV series and it was just aired, the male lead and I were assumed to be a couple. Whenever we didn't act together, there would be news of our breakup, which even made us very passive."

Zhou Fang looked at Luna who was comforting him and felt it was strange. You know, Luna was full of hostility towards him before, why did she seem to be on the same side with him now?
"Are you comforting me?"

"Of course!" Luna saw Zhou Fang's strange expression and said with a smile: "Do you feel a little strange? In fact, there is no conflict between us. I mistakenly thought you liked Song Lin before, but now you have a boyfriend. There is no competition between us, so we can naturally be friends."

"As for the competition, you don't have to worry. The production team can't disqualify you because of online rumors. Besides, if you withdraw, I will also withdraw. As a big star, I think I still have the face to be your guarantor."

After hearing Luna say this, Zhou Fang couldn't tell what he felt. He was touched but not much. He felt more that the world was really unpredictable.

"Thank you!"

Just as Zhou Fang was about to say goodbye to Luna and leave, the director hurried over to find Zhou Fang and said:

"Zhou Fang, your room has been assigned to another floor. The assistant who contacted you earlier forgot to tell you that it is in the presidential suite!"

After hearing this, Zhou Fang looked at the director in surprise and asked, "Director, can I know why? Is it because the other contestants are not satisfied with me that you arranged me to be on a different floor from them?"

"Of course not, it's because of Mr. Zhao Shucheng. This hotel is a partner of our TV station, and Mr. Zhao is also our partner, so as his girlfriend, you naturally have to enjoy different treatment. As for the rumors outside, we also know that they are all false. After all, if you really want to win the championship, Mr. Zhao can help you get it without going through so much trouble. Just participate in the competition with peace of mind, and don't worry about the rumors outside."

Seeing the director's almost fawning attitude towards Zhou Fang, Luna was a little curious for a moment, what kind of identity did Zhao Shucheng have to make the director behave like this. You know, even for her, the director would at most be pleasant, but never like this.

Take the room for example, he didn't have a presidential suite, at most it was an ordinary suite. But Zhou Fang was arranged to be in a presidential suite, it was not that Zhao Shucheng had money to make the director compromise.

Zhou Fang was actually very curious about what Zhao Shucheng had done to make the TV station defend him so much. But thinking that she was Zhao Shucheng's girlfriend now, if she clarified it in person, it would only make people laugh, so she could only follow the director's arrangement and move in.

The other contestants originally saw that Zhou Fang did not move into the previous room and immediately thought that Zhou Fang had been kicked out. They thought that since they had kicked out a relative, they had a greater chance of winning the competition.

But after the recording of the new episode started, I was surprised to find that Zhou Fang was also here, and was teaming up with Luna.

Unfortunately, it was too late for them to take any action now. Zhou Fang was under a lot of pressure from public opinion online during this period. Determined to succeed or die, he came up with his best design. With the cooperation of Luna, he successfully slapped everyone in the face and won a high ranking in this competition.

The program team was not without pressure. The TV station held an emergency meeting before and there was a fierce debate on whether Zhou Fang should withdraw from the competition. Su Yushan naturally hoped that Zhou Fang would withdraw from the competition. His goal was not to attack Zhou Fang, but to use Zhou Fang to attack Song Lin, and even to attack Wanfeng Group.

However, Song Lin still insisted on letting Zhou Fang participate in the competition, and the TV station also expressed support. Originally, they were worried that the program would be criticized because of the scandal between Zhou Fang and Song Lin, and even affect the reputation of the TV station. However, since Zhao Shucheng and Zhou Fang made their relationship public, there are still rumors on the Internet, but the TV station no longer takes it seriously. After all, they are in the media, and it is easy for them to clarify the rumors.

The reason why the news of Zhou Fang's continued participation in the competition was kept hidden was to catch everyone off guard. Of course, the TV station leaders were even more grateful to Zhou Fang for creating a lot of topics for their program, which kept the popularity of the program high during this period and brought a lot of traffic.

It can be said that apart from some losses suffered by the Wanfeng Group during this period, both the program’s sponsors and advertisers have gained a lot of benefits from it.

Naturally, Su Yushan was unwilling to accept such a failure, so he found Luna, hoping that Luna would cooperate with him so that Zhou Fang would suffer a great loss and thus strike a blow to Wanfeng Group.

Unfortunately, he underestimated Luna and her feelings for Song Lin. If Zhou Fang had not made their relationship public before, and Song Lin confessed his love to Zhou Fang in person, Luna might have cooperated with him. But when Zhou Fang and Zhao Shucheng made their relationship public, and Zhou Fang didn't mind dating Zhao Shucheng with her best friend, it was enough to prove that Zhou Fang really liked Zhao Shucheng, and Song Lin had no chance at all.

Luna knew very well that Song Lin had no chance, and she was the only woman around him who was suitable for him. Naturally, she would not risk Song Lin's failure by cooperating with Su Yushan. Instead, the best choice was to continue to stay with Song Lin and support him.

This game was not the end. Zhou Fang was still thinking about staying in the hotel to think about the design draft for the next game, but was pulled out by Zhao Shucheng and Qin Qing to go out for a trip to relax.

Zhou Fang was reluctant at first, but Zhao Shucheng told him that it was not good to work behind closed doors. The previous design had drained her inspiration. If she could not absorb new nutrients, then the next time Zhou Fang competed, she might not be able to come up with a dazzling design. At that time, it would make people suspect that the previous competition was all shady.

After much hesitation, Zhou Fang finally agreed to the request to travel together, but he also said that he couldn't leave the Magic City too far because he still had competitions to attend.

Zhao Shucheng and Qin Qing didn't want to leave too far. After all, Qin Qing had to go home to visit her parents on weekends, and Zhao Shucheng also had to come back in time to deal with some things in the studio, so they chose an ancient town near the Magic City.

Because there were three of them traveling, Qin Qing and Zhou Fang sat in the back seat, while Zhao Shucheng drove in the front.

They seemed to have endless things to say along the way, and later they even sang together, which made Zhao Shucheng not so bored.

Soon, the group arrived at the ancient town. Many of the buildings here still retain their ancient charm, and there are signs hanging above the shops facing the street, and it is very lively with people coming and going.

Qin Qing and Zhou Fang walked in front. When they saw something delicious or fun, they would go forward to check it out and buy it. Zhao Shucheng followed behind, paying the bill and helping to carry things.

After a while, several people came to a dyeing workshop. Zhou Fang was very interested in it and directly pulled Qin Qing in to visit. "Boss, did you dye this yourself?"

The boss nodded and said with a smile: "Yes! This is a very ancient dyeing technology, called plant dyeing. In ancient times when there were no chemical dyes, all that was used were plants."

Zhou Fang held up a piece of cloth and asked, "What plant is this dyed with? The color is quite special."

The boss smiled and said, "If you three are interested, you can go to the backyard and have a look."

"Yeah!"

The boss took them into the backyard and saw several pieces of cloth with different patterns hanging in the yard.

"Wow, so beautiful."

The boss said, "It's rare that young people like this."

“This is really a unique skill.”

"However, after all, it is plant dyeing, and it is based on the color of the plant itself, so it is relatively limited and the variations are not very rich."

Zhou Fang asked curiously: "How long have you been doing this?"

"I have been doing this since I was a child. Three generations of my family have been dyeing cloth here. Now my children have grown up and moved to big cities. We don't make a lot of money in our small family, so I don't plan to come back to do this."

Zhou Fang nodded. In fact, he understood the boss's idea. After all, this was just a small dyeing workshop and there was no way it could compete with modern factories.

Seeing that Zhou Fang was really interested in this, the boss said, "Well, how about it, do you want to give it a try?"

Zhou Fang said in surprise: "Is it possible?"

"of course."

Zhao Shucheng also followed them to the dyeing place. Looking at the materials prepared by the boss, he smiled and said, "Boss, it seems that the materials here are all dyed using the ancient method. For the red color, do you use madder or safflower?"

After hearing this, the boss looked at Zhao Shucheng curiously and said, "I didn't expect to meet an expert. We mainly use safflower and less madder. Although madder's Turkish red is not bad, it is not a good choice because of the complicated dyeing process and high cost. On the contrary, safflower is better and the price is relatively lower. Of course, hematoxylin is also a good choice, but because it will gradually fade in the sun, it needs special care for maintenance."

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Boss, you are indeed a three-generation cloth dyeing expert. Red flowers are more commonly used because of their long history and cultural background."

Next, Zhao Shucheng asked about other color options, but because the popular plant dyeing colors are red, yellow, blue, purple, brown and black, they are basically some commonly used plants.

Zhou Fang was surprised that Zhao Shucheng knew so much about dyeing techniques and ancient printing and dyeing methods. You know, although she is also a designer, she doesn't know much about it.

Of course Zhao Shucheng would not tell her that he had read books on the subject before, and even experimented with it himself in "Go Where There Is Wind".

After Zhou Fang and Qin Qing tried it, it was already noon, so they found a restaurant to eat and rest.

When they learned that there would be a fireworks show in the evening, Zhou Fang and Qin Qing were even more reluctant to go back right away and insisted on watching the show and staying overnight.

Zhao Shucheng looked at the two happy people and said with a smile: "You are so happy?"

"Of course. There are so many unique shops here, and you can dye the cloth yourself. I have never experienced this before."

While eating, Zhou Fang and Qin Qing suddenly had an idea and asked the waiter to help them take photos and post them on WeChat Moments.

After finishing their meal, the three of them continued to tour the ancient town. At night, while watching the fireworks show in the ancient town, Qin Qing suddenly pulled Zhao Shucheng and said:
"Shucheng, let's take a picture!"

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Okay." He was about to hand the camera to Zhou Fang, but was stopped by Qin Qing, who said:

"Zhou Fang, take photos with us too, and we'll take photos separately later. Just shoot like this!"

Zhao Shucheng looked at Qin Qing helplessly, with only doting in his eyes. He had no choice but to raise his hand and start taking selfies with his mobile phone.

Later on, Zhao Shucheng was just a ruthless tool, standing there cooperating with Qin Qing and Zhou Fang to take many couple photos.

Zhou Fang refused at first. After all, they were just a young couple and there was no point in getting involved. But he couldn't resist Qin Qing's pleading and had to cooperate in taking photos.

Qin Qing's explanation for this is that Zhou Fang has already officially announced her relationship with Zhao Shucheng, but there are still many people on the Internet who don't believe it, so Zhou Fang needs to release these photos to shut those people up.

Zhou Fang hesitated for a moment, worried that if they continued like this, sooner or later people would find out that they were both dating Zhao Shucheng. However, facing Zhao Shucheng who didn't care and Qin Qing who had already comforted herself, he could only bite the bullet and post on WeChat Moments and Weibo.

The result was as expected. Because of Zhou Fang's previous scandal, many people also paid attention to Zhou Fang, and naturally saw the photos Zhou Fang posted first. When seeing Zhou Fang and Zhao Shucheng playing together, the happy smile on their faces was not fake, and naturally many of those who rumored that Zhou Fang interfered in the relationship between Song Lin and Luna disappeared.

Of course, Zhou Fang and Qin Qing's mutual friends saw something different. They both had photos with Zhao Shucheng, and they looked very compatible. It was unknown who Zhao Shucheng would end up with. (End of this chapter)
