The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 704 She still has to thank us

"Hey?"

"Mr. Lu, I'm Liang Chaowei."

"Hey, Brother Chao Wei, how come you have time to call me?"

There was a hint of contempt on Lu Yuan's face, but he still greeted politely.

He went on to say, "I saw a report a few days ago about you and Jialing going to Budapest for a trip. Did you stop by London to release a pigeon or something?"

"Uh, hahahaha, Mr. Lu really loves to joke."

On the other end of the phone, Liang Chaowei was stunned for a moment, then he pretended to laugh heartily.

Lu Yuan keenly heard a hint of embarrassment in the laughter.

Liang Chaowei was indeed a little embarrassed.

He felt that Lu Yuan was a piece of shit. He knew that he called him today to plead for Dong Jie, but he had to bring up Liu Jialing to shut him up.

Isn't this embarrassing for him?

However, those who can gain a foothold in the Hong Kong entertainment industry and become the top cannot be as "socially phobic" as described by the media.

It's a very simple truth. In the early days, the Hong Kong entertainment industry was a mixed bag, filled with all kinds of demons and monsters.

If an artist is not versatile and does not have the social skills to get along with everyone, it is simply a fantasy and a foolish dream for him to make a name for himself in this industry.

Successful people in most industries may not have high IQs, but their EQs are definitely not bad.

People with high emotional intelligence have excellent communication skills, but some people don't want to show it and don't say it out loud.

Therefore, anyone who really believes in Liang Chaowei’s “socially phobic” personality is a big fool.

Liang Chaowei consciously ignored some of the words in the conversation and went straight to the point: "Boss Lu, I won't beat around the bush. Dong Jie came to Hong Kong a few years ago and signed with the same company as me. She is my junior sister. I called you today to ask for a favor on her behalf."

"She was definitely wrong about this matter. She called me last night and I scolded her severely."

"She is now completely hopeless. She said on the phone that she regretted doing that and felt sorry for Pan Yuemin and her children. She even had thoughts of committing suicide and wanted to die."

"I advised her not to be impulsive, but I know this junior sister. She has a very hot temper. Since she said she would die, she would most likely dare to do it."

"She has already received the punishment she deserves. There is no need to push her to death. She still has to survive and raise a child. How will the child look at her in the future? That's why I shamelessly made this call. Mr. Lu, can you please let her go and give her a chance to live?"

Lu Yuan frowned as he listened. What did that mean? Using Dong Jie's suicide to threaten him?

How can this be something a "socially anxious" actor would say?
Moreover, when Dong Jie and his agent slandered Pan Yuemin as incompetent and led the entire network to expose him, did they ever consider the feelings of Pan Yuemin and his parents?

When it's your turn, do you have to decide whether to live or die?
Lu Yuan pretended to be confused and said, "What do you mean by let her go? What happened to Dong Jie? I don't understand. What happened?"

"The Golden Rooster Awards will be held at the end of the month. I have been busy with the crew these days to make time for the production. I have basically not checked my phone, so I am a little delayed in receiving news from the outside world. Let me ask what is going on first."

Liang Chaowei remained silent. He didn't believe a word of what was said.

After a while, Lu Yuan sighed and said, "I haven't been online for several days, and something like this happened. How could Dong Jie do such a thing, and with Wang Dazhi? Zhuo Wei is really not polite. He should at least give me a heads up in advance."

"Mr. Lu!" Liang Chaowei spoke again.

Lu Yuan was too lazy to continue talking.

His attitude was very clear. He didn't want to interfere and believed that Dong Jie had brought this upon himself. However, actor Liang sitting opposite him seemed to suddenly not understand what he was saying.

Since you don't understand, there's no need to beat around the bush.

He interrupted directly: "This is a matter between Pan Yuemin and Dong Jie. We are not involved and do not know the details. They are still fighting for the custody of their son."

"I think the best way is to let them solve it themselves. I won't interfere. It seems that Sister Jialing and Dong Jie have a conflict. I suggest you don't interfere. After all, we are all outsiders."

He used the word "outsider" a bit harshly.

Liang Chaowei was speechless. Mr. Lu, who the hell are you pointing at?

Lu Yuan gave Zheng Qian a look as he spoke.

Zheng Qian understood what he meant, stepped back a few steps, and shouted loudly: "Teacher Lu, the next scene is about to begin."

"Sorry, I have to film. Call me when you have time to feed the pigeons together." Lu Yuan said and hung up the phone.

Zhu Yawen was silent for a long time, waiting for him to finish the call, and said, "He he...really."

"Can you please straighten your tongue and speak properly?" Lu Yuan kicked him in annoyance.

Zhu Yawen patted his butt and stopped stuttering this time.

"He's so bold to say that. If you don't know, you might think the male protagonist in the video is not Wang Dazhi, but him. What do you think will happen if we accidentally let Liu Jialing know about this?"

Without waiting for Lu Yuan to answer, he said to himself: "I guess the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry will be lively, and the image of our socially anxious actor will be completely destroyed."

He has never been fond of the Hong Kong circle. He still holds a grudge against his good brother for not giving the award at the last Academy Awards. Whenever someone in the Hong Kong circle is in trouble, he is the first to applaud.

Seeing that he was eager to try, Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Stop, don't think about it, it's impossible. Liang Chaowei is one of the last few faces in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. He has the capital to protect him. It's not that easy to let his image collapse."

"Besides, even if Liu Jialing knew, I don't think she would say anything. She might even stand on Liang Chaowei's side and praise him for his loyalty and righteousness in an interview."

Zhu Yawen blinked his eyes and thought: "That's right, Liu Jialing is not a pushover."

The socially anxious actor Tony Leung Chiu-wai had a rich love history in his early years. His girlfriends and ambiguous objects included Candy Tsang, Michelle Lai, Collina Lau, Maggie Cheung and seven others.

Especially Maggie Cheung, Tony Leung Chiu-wai has a special affection for her.

The two met on the set of "In the Mood for Love". There was an ambiguous relationship between them during the filming. Tony Leung fell in love with it and expressed his attitude implicitly in public many times.

Compared with these people, Liu Jialing is not outstanding. Her intersection with Liang Chaowei was because of Zeng Huaqian.

Carina Lau and Candy Cheung are close friends and once acted as a mediator between the two sides.

Unexpectedly, after all these interactions, Zeng Liang's relationship could no longer be reversed, and she developed feelings for Liang Chaowei.

Liu Jialing was not a simple woman, as she was once kidnapped by Hong Kong gangs and had some large-scale artistic photos taken for her.

Although several gangsters went to jail, no one expected that after they came out, they actually sold their privately collected photos of Liu Jialing to a newspaper owner, causing an uproar in the entertainment industry.

For a time, Liu Jialing became a joke, covered in dirt and looking miserable.

Even under such circumstances, Liang Chaowei still chose her in the end. You can imagine the means he used.

Therefore, even if the other party really knew that Liang Chaowei was secretly planning for Dong Jie, they would definitely laugh it off on the surface.

Without this kind of generosity, she would have broken up with Liang Chaowei long ago. Lu Yuan casually flipped through the online reports, nodded with satisfaction, and then handed the phone to Zheng Qian.

Liang Chaowei wanted him to stop, but that was impossible, no matter who pleaded for him.

Zhuo Wei chose this time to expose the video of Dong Jie cheating with Wang Dazi. It was a plan that had been made long ago.

On the one hand, as a good friend, Chen Zhixi hopes to help Pan Yuemin vent his anger, help him turn things around, and clear his name.

On the other hand, this incident was used to promote "Soul Ferry".

There is no reason for him not to support it.

As for Dong Jie, if she dared to do this in the first place, she should be prepared to be exposed.

So far, the results of this marketing plan are very significant.

After the video of Dong Jie's cheating was released, the topic shot to the top of the Weibo list in a very short time and stayed there for many days.

What followed was the popularity of "Soul Ferry", which skyrocketed on the Internet. The vast majority of netizens had heard of this low-cost supernatural web drama starring Pan Yuemin.

PPS's public relations team quietly led the rhythm, guiding netizens to feel guilty about Pan Yuemin, creating a wave that instead of owing him an apology, it would be better to support the online drama "Soul Ferry".

It is conceivable that when "Soul Ferry" is officially premiered on PPS, it will create exciting launch data.

"Teacher Lu, it's your turn for the next scene." Stagehand Zhu Xinhui ran over.

Lu Yuan nodded and was about to turn around when his cell phone rang again.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

"Who again?" He paused slightly.

Zheng Qian looked at the incoming call number, confused: "No, it's from Shaanxi."

"Shaanxi?"

Lu Yuan frowned and thought, as if he had thought of something, and pouted: "Wait until I leave, then you can answer, you know how to answer."

"Hmm."

Under the instruction of Chen Zhixi and the promotion of Pan Yuemin Studio, Dong Jie's past dirty deeds were turned upside down.

How could the media celebrities miss this opportunity? Similar soft articles emerged one after another.

#Dong Jie and Liang Chaowei were banned for having an affair, and the obscene video exposed the fig leaf of their marriage#
#Dong Jie falsely accuses Pan Yuemin of cheating on Wang Dazhi, the reason why Goddess Dong fell#
#Exclusive shocking news, Dong Jie's chaotic love history is revealed, the truth behind the image of a jade girl#
#Empty and white lotus Dong Jie, cheating on Wang Dazhi during marriage, and even blaming others#
As one of the parties involved, Wang Dazhi stepped forward and told the media not to make things difficult for Dong Jie, and that if there was any problem, he should be the one to deal with it, and that he would bear all the responsibility.

This move unexpectedly won the admiration of many netizens, who praised him for being a real man who dares to act and take responsibility.

"boom!"

Pan Yuemin read the relevant news and slammed the table in anger.

"Wang Dazhi seems to be protecting her and standing up for her, but he actually has bad intentions and is taking advantage of her!"

Chen Zhixi drank his coffee and glanced at him calmly: "She deserves it. Why, are you heartbroken?"

Dong Jie got the title of "Mou Girl" and went to Hong Kong to develop her career, which invisibly offended many people in mainland China.

The Hong Kong entertainment industry is now in a difficult situation. After the video was released, public opinion fermented. After finding out the forces behind Pan Yuemin, almost no one spoke for her.

Faced with Chen Zhixi's question, Pan Yuemin remained silent. After all, they had been in love before.

"You feel sorry for her, but who feels sorry for you?"

Chen Zhixi continued, "I'll tell you something. At the end of last year, you were attacked by the entire Internet. Although you pretended to be calm in front of your parents, they knew it very well. They are almost 70 years old. They sent me a private message and asked me to help them register a Weibo account."

"Then they put on reading glasses and defended you on Weibo. They couldn't type fast enough, so they were mocked by netizens who didn't know the truth. They didn't dare to tell you, and they hid in their beds at night, feeling wronged and secretly wiping away their tears."

Pan Yuemin was stunned, pursed his lips, and slowly sat down.

Chen Zhixi glanced at him sideways. If it weren't for their many years of friendship, he really didn't want to help this guy. He was in love, indecisive, and easily influenced. Apart from being handsome, having a good character, and drawing beautifully, he was useless.

If it were Mr. Lu, with his methods... Ugh... Bah bah bah.
She coughed and felt guilty.

"Did Dong Jie call you these days?"

Pan Yuemin nodded hesitantly: "Yes, he contacted me at two o'clock in the morning yesterday."

"Cried?"

"Ah."

"You said you don't want to live anymore?"

"Ah."

"Oh, what do you think?"

"I don't know." Pan Yuemin held his head in confusion: "She cried and apologized to me on the phone, saying that she was wrong and begged me to forgive her. She also said that if she continued like this, she would have no place in the entire industry."

"fart."

Chen Zhixi rolled his eyes and put down the cup: "She lied to you, and only you would believe it. To tell you the truth, in the current film and television market, investors pay more attention to the topic value. As long as it is not a matter of principle, it is a small matter."

"That's why some people's value rises after a scandal. Some stars can shoot one movie after another despite having nude photos. Her videos are relatively conservative and won't ruin her completely. The Internet has no memory, so if she disappears for a few years and then comes back, she can continue to shoot movies. Of course, moral condemnation is inevitable."

"Besides, Dong Jie previously gave people the impression of being a fresh-faced person with a narrow acting range. Many roles would not be chosen for her, and even if they were chosen, they would think her image was not suitable."

"This incident has changed her image, and may allow her to be exposed to more suitable roles, such as cheating women, bad women, etc. This may be an opportunity for her career transformation."

"If she calls you again, listen to me, you comfort her like this, and she will thank us."

"Uh." Pan Yuemin said nothing. He felt it made sense, but also felt something was wrong.

Brother, you really believe it. Chen Zhixi was speechless.

"What you need to consider now is how to use the popularity brought by this incident to promote Soul Ferry. Don't forget that you and Lin Gengxin both invested in the film and received a share of the profits. The final performance of this play is directly related to your income, and also to whether you can obtain custody of Dingding in the divorce lawsuit, as well as your own future."

"The future, you mean?"

Chen Zhixi nodded and said, "The company and PPS have already released a list of projects for next year. The themes are very novel, including tomb raiding, fairy tales, fantasy, history, and urban. Several projects look very good. If the data of this drama performs well, I will help you get it."

"Thank you!" Pan Yuemin expressed gratitude.
