I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Young Xu Fan
“Ah Hong, I believe you. I know you're not a promiscuous person, but now the internet is full of rumors about you. You'd better explain yourself. If it's inconvenient for you, I can step in and help you clarify.”

Upon hearing Xu Fan clarify things for her, Chen Hong couldn't help but show a mocking expression.

Is she really that kind?

Chen Hong didn't have much contact with Xu Fan, but there are no secrets in Beijing's social circles, and she knew very well what kind of woman Xu Fan was.

This woman is a very selfish person; she would stop at nothing to do with herself.

For example, the 'teacher-student relationship' back then.

This incident caused quite a stir back then.

When Xu Fan was studying, her mentor was Wang Zhiwen.

She pursued him without hesitation, and the two fell in love and eventually got together, even starting to live together.

However, the two soon parted ways.

Rumors circulated that Ms. Xu hoped to leverage Mr. Wang's connections to gain more opportunities, but Mr. Wang did not agree with this approach.

At the same time, many rumors also emerged about Ms. Xu's private life.

This is undoubtedly a widely circulated claim, but only they themselves know whether it is true or false, and what the reasons are.

However, Ms. Xu's marriage to Director Feng was bound to be controversial, and that's precisely why.

At that time, Feng Xiaogang was not yet a name in the film and television industry. He was just a hardworking office worker, and he had already formed a family with a nurse and had a smart and lovely daughter.

However, since he collaborated with Ms. Xu on a film, the situation has changed significantly. They often exchange smiles in their daily lives and on set, and their behavior is exceptionally intimate, with their relationship gradually deepening.

Thus, Ms. Zhang, who had not received any care, also became superfluous and left home with her daughter in despair.

Ms. Xu suddenly became the mistress of the house.

Although Chen Hong was also a third party who interfered in the relationship, Chen Kai was not married at that time, while Feng Dapao actually had a wife.

Xu Fan's actions were met with disdain by people in Beijing's elite circles.

If it weren't for Feng Dapao's influence, no one in Beijing's elite circles would want to associate with Xu Fan.

Now that Xu Fan is calling her out of the blue, saying he wants to help her, Chen Hong doesn't believe for a second that he would be so kind; there must be some unspeakable secret involved.

"Sister Xu, no need. I have a clear conscience and I'm not afraid of these rumors online," Chen Hong said calmly.

She wasn't afraid as long as no photos of her sleeping with Cheng Sheng were taken.

Dudu!

Suddenly, Chen Hong's phone vibrated a few times, and then Cheng Sheng's chat avatar popped up.

While talking to Xu Fan, Chen Hong clicked on Cheng Sheng's chat profile picture.

When Chen Hong saw the message from Cheng Sheng, she breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face.

Thank you, Cheng Sheng.

Chen Hong sent four words.

Now that Cheng Sheng had helped her resolve the scandal, Chen Hong felt a slight warmth in her heart.

"Hey, Ah Hong, are you still there?"

"Yes, Sister Xu, I was just checking the news online. Director Cheng Sheng has already clarified things in front of the reporters," Chen Hong replied perfunctorily.

"Director Cheng Sheng clarified?"

Xu Fan was quite surprised, and then quickly started browsing the news online.

The top trending topic was the news of Cheng Sheng being interviewed by reporters.

After reading it, Xu Fan frowned deeply, thinking to himself: Cheng Sheng wrote the script for Chen Kaige, I didn't expect it to be for this reason. But Xu Fan still felt that something was wrong.

Even if Cheng Sheng and Chen Hong want to meet, they don't need to do it in a hotel room!
Xu Fan did not believe Cheng Sheng's statement.

However, one thing is credible: Cheng Sheng wrote the script for Chen Kaige.

As for what happened between Chen Hong and Cheng Sheng in the hotel room, she did not believe Cheng Sheng's account.

"Ah Hong, you and Director Cheng spent so long in the hotel room, did you really just talk about the script and acting? Didn't you do anything else?" Xu Fan probed.

"Sister Xu, what do you mean? Do you think I could have something happen with Cheng Sheng? Or do you want me to do something?" Chen Hong became unhappy.

"With such a beautiful woman like you alone with Cheng Sheng, doesn't Cheng Sheng have any thoughts about it?" Xu Fan's heart tightened, and he quickly explained.

“How old am I? How could a young man like him be interested in an old aunt like me?” Chen Hong said.

But the conversation she had with Cheng Sheng earlier flashed through her mind.

Chen Hong also asked Cheng Sheng why he liked her.

You should know that you're almost a full twelve years older than Cheng Sheng.

But Cheng Sheng's answer made Chen Hong feel very warm.

"I was captivated by you the first time I saw you. You are the most beautiful Chang'e in my heart."

She never imagined that she was actually Cheng Sheng's Chang'e sister.

Moreover, Cheng Sheng couldn't forget her ever since he saw her on TV.

Chang'e is a character played by Chen Hong.

Chang'e has always been a symbol of beauty in people's hearts.

In many myths, Chang'e appears in different forms; sometimes she is a cold and aloof fairy, sometimes she is a beauty who is infatuated with by Zhu Bajie...

When portraying Chang'e, actors not only need to have a beautiful appearance, but also need to express the character's traits well.

Actresses who can play Chang'e are basically all stunning beauties.

For example, in the 86 TV series "Journey to the West", the actress who played Chang'e was Qiu Peining.

Qiu Peining was born into a military family and received strict education from her father from a young age.

However, she was not dull from a young age; on the contrary, she loved to dance.

It was because of this hobby that her father sent her to a dance school for further study.

Years of training greatly improved her dance skills, and she was eventually admitted to the Art Department of the Central University for Nationalities with excellent grades.

At that time, CCTV was planning to film "Dream of the Red Chamber", and Qiu Peining was assigned to the crew as a script supervisor by chance.

At the time, CCTV planned to film all four classic novels together, but "Dream of the Red Chamber" was the first project to be approved.

Most of the funds were invested in the "Dream of the Red Chamber" production team, which resulted in insufficient funds for the "Journey to the West" production team. The 25-episode TV series took six years to complete.

As is well known, Director Yang has very high requirements for the actors' physique and appearance. He eliminated hundreds of people for the role of "Miss Gao" before finally settling on Wei Li.

Therefore, the selection of Chang'e needs to be more rigorous.

As everyone knows, the "Chang'e Fairy" in the Moon Palace is usually accompanied only by the Jade Rabbit, so she must be lonely, cold as ice, and never smile.

When Director Yang visited the set of "Dream of the Red Chamber", he happened to meet Qiu Peining, who was working as a script supervisor.

She noticed that Qiu Peining had a calm, soldierly air about him, and that he was also a good dancer and handsome. Director Yang immediately took a liking to him and brought him into the cast of "Journey to the West".

Chang'e doesn't have a large role in "Journey to the West," but her portrayal is undoubtedly the most classic of all Chang'e versions. (End of Chapter)
