I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

"Forehead!"

Hearing Chen Hong's words, Cheng Sheng felt somewhat helpless; the 'older sister' type really knew how to have fun.

"Sister, I'm being serious," Cheng Sheng said helplessly.

"Anyway, I don't care whether you're serious or not, I must thank you today."

"..." Cheng Sheng.

……

Because of the Spring Festival, most people across the country did not go to work.

When they have free time, a few people go to pay New Year's visits or get together with old friends to play cards or something.

However, most people choose to go online, watch movies, watch TV, and surf the internet.

Suddenly, an entertainment website displayed a headline in bold and red.

Upon seeing this, netizens instinctively recognized it as big news and clicked on it without thinking.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the title.

[On the Lantern Festival: A director's wife and an internationally renowned director had an affair at a hotel.]

Dig!

Who is it?

It's only the New Year!
Do we really need to go to such lengths?
A director's wife?
An internationally renowned director?
Is it...

There aren't many directors in China who can be called internationally renowned directors.

This content is a bit sensitive and scary!
After reading the post and seeing the accompanying photos, the entire internet was abuzz.

The wife of a certain director is actually Chen Hong.

The internationally acclaimed director is actually Cheng Sheng.

How did these two end up in a hotel room together?
This news immediately sparked heated discussions across the internet.

This is a rumor, isn't it?

[I don't believe it either. Chen Hong is Chen Kaige's wife. How could she possibly cheat?]

[You two upstairs, are you stupid?! Photos have been taken, and you still don't believe it?]

[Wow, Cheng Sheng actually cheated on Chen Kaige.]

[Director Chen Kaige has turned into a minotaur! This news actually topped the trending searches in just a few minutes.]

[Could this have been edited by someone? I simply can't believe that Chen Hong is that kind of person.]

I don't believe it either; Chen Hong is a virtuous wife and mother.

[It must be paparazzi trying to get famous; they just randomly edited the two of them together.]

Disgusting, paparazzi have lost all sense of decency these days.

[To those upstairs, I know you're Chen Hong fans, but please don't attack me yet. I've checked the photo; there's no sign of it being edited.]

Yes, I watched it carefully too. It's real, not edited.

Could this be a publicity stunt orchestrated by someone?

[I think this is just a publicity stunt. It doesn't seem like Chen Hong and Cheng Sheng would end up in a hotel together, especially considering Chen Hong is old enough to be Cheng Sheng's mother.]

I strongly support Cheng Sheng. Although Director Cheng has had his share of scandals in the past, they were all proven false in the end, indicating that someone was framing him. I think this time is likely to be the same.

[Wu Baige? Is this guy sabotaging Cheng Sheng? That doesn't make sense! Wu Baige isn't stupid; he wouldn't drag Chen Kaige into this. Doing so would absolutely offend Chen Kaige.]

Why are you all discussing this? I simply don't believe that a man and a woman in a hotel room could be completely without anything happening between them.

I really feel sorry for director Chen Kaige. Although his films have been terrible in recent years, his wife's infidelity is more painful than death for him.

[Hehe, I wonder what Zeng Li will think when she sees this message?] [What are you thinking! With a scumbag like Cheng Sheng, even goddess Zeng Li will definitely break up with him.]

The entertainment industry is truly dirty. People online have always said that Cheng Sheng doesn't engage in any sexual harassment of actresses, but now it seems he doesn't actually avoid it; he just prefers married women.

[Holy crap, a popular fan! I never expected Cheng Sheng to be like Cao Mengde.]

Zeng Li is seven years older than Cheng Sheng, and Chen Hong is more than a decade older than Cheng Sheng. If you say Cheng Sheng doesn't like his older sisters and aunts, I'll eat shit on my head.

[I also have a bit of the Cao Cao spirit, hehe.]

【…】

The news quickly went viral online and then spread in real life.

The news was also immediately known within the entertainment industry.

Feng Dapao's villa.

"Chen Kai cheated on Chen Hong? Chen Hong had an affair?"

Feng Dapao, who was having dinner, was stunned when he heard the news.

"This story has gone viral online. If you don't believe me, go online and see for yourself," Xu Fan said softly.

Actually, Xu Fan was a little skeptical when she saw the news. Although she wasn't very familiar with Chen Hong because of the relationship between Feng Dapao and Chen Kaige, she knew that Chen Hong wasn't the kind of woman who would stray.

But the photos online don't look fake either.

Because she had been to this hotel before.

"Haha, serves him right, Chen Kaige, that bastard, deserves it." Feng Dapao laughed loudly.

Don't assume that Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kaige have a good relationship just because Feng Xiaogang praised Chen Kaige online.

But it's not.

Before Cheng Sheng rose to prominence, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, and Zhang Guoshi were the three major directors in China, the "Three Musketeers" of the same generation and age group.

Of the three, only Chen Kaige has a formal training in directing, and he comes from a family of film directors and has studied abroad.

Chen Kaige's father was a famous director at the Beijing Film Academy, known for his opera films.

He collaborated with Cui Gui on classic opera films such as "Wild Boar Forest", "The Women Generals of the Yang Family" and "Mu Guiying's Battle of Hongzhou". In addition, Chen Huaikai also collaborated with the famous playwright Wu Guang on "Mei Lanfang's Stage Art", which was praised by Mei Lanfang himself, who said that he was a scholar making movies.

Chen Kaige's mother is a senior screenwriter at Beijing Film Academy.

Although Zhang Guoshi graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, he majored in cinematography rather than directing, so becoming a director was a career change and a "neglect of his main profession".

Moreover, this guy is incredibly talented, excelling in cinematography, directing, and acting; the only thing missing is composing music to become a true "all-rounder."

Feng Dapao, on the other hand, was an art designer by training and a self-taught artist.

The director was "forged" through practice, learning by doing and doing by learning, and gaining self-awareness through self-study.

Of the three, Zhang Yimou is the number one director, a fact universally acknowledged.

But it's hard to say who the second and third are.

This has sparked online discussions.

Feng Xiaogang has a very distinct personality. He not only criticizes everyone and everything, including the media, but he also once insulted himself while opposing piracy. He is truly a representative of someone with a fiery temper who is not to be trifled with.

He considered himself superior to Chen Kaige, so naturally he said some things online that he shouldn't have.

As a member of a film and television family, Chen Kaige already looked down on Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang.

Now that Feng Dapao dares to criticize him, Chen Kaige directly brought up something in front of the media in a sarcastic tone, telling Feng Dapao not to forget it.

This sentence immediately broke Feng Dapao's defenses.

So what exactly is it that makes Feng Dapao so concerned?
The reason lies in an earlier photograph. (End of Chapter)
