HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 160 [160] We agreed to create a scandal, but you took it too seriously?

Qi Yuan's performance on the first day of training was not very proficient.

It wasn't entirely an act on his part.

His attributes were all drawn from other people; he himself had never handled a sword before, so he was definitely not very skilled at it when he first started.

A few days later, he will be able to handle it with ease.

Martial arts instructor Zhao Jian was dumbfounded; these were all exceptionally talented athletes.

Isn't it said that you have to start learning martial arts from a young age, because it's harder to practice when you're older?

Why does this kid learn so fast?
This Zhao Jian is Zhao Tianba from "Once Upon a Time in China III", and his portrayal of him was incredibly arrogant and domineering.

"You have a background in martial arts?" Zhao Jian asked in surprise.

"When I was a kid, I watched kung fu movies and often imitated the main characters. Does that mean I have a foundation?" Qi Yuan glanced at the master-level martial arts and realized that he had the same troubles as Yue Buqun.

For various reasons, it's impossible to unleash one's full potential; concealing one's abilities is truly a laborious task.

If he were to unleash all his master-level skills at once, it would terrify everyone.

Next, Qi Yuan will control the variables every day and make only a little progress each day.

More than ten days later, he was able to handle most of Linghu Chong's action scenes, and they could start filming immediately after he put on Linghu Chong's clothes.

Zhang Dahuzi was also very surprised. Could this kid really be a martial arts prodigy?

Surprised as I was, I wasn't astonished. The actors trained for filming, not for going into battle.

Everyone is learning simple, fancy techniques, with the aim of making the moves look good. Most people can achieve good results after two or three months of practice.

In Zhang Dahuzi and Zhao Jian's opinion, Qi Yuan is quite talented and quick to learn. He can achieve the same results in half a month as others do in two months, which is enough for filming.

"Brother Chong, please teach me! I'm clumsy, and I often drop the sword while I'm spinning it."

Xu Qing has been asking Qi Yuan for advice a lot these days, and she always tries to get closer to Qi Yuan.

Every time she came, Gao Yuanyuan would bring her sword and make Qi Yuan practice the Chongling Sword Technique with her, which infuriated Xu Qing.

Xu Qing realized that Gao Yuanyuan and Fan Xiaopang were deliberately targeting her, taking turns watching her and preventing her from getting close to Qi Yuan.

But... can they stop her? She's going to create a scandal with Qi Yuan.

I stayed for exactly half a month.

Qi Yuan felt it was about time and asked Zhang Dahuzi for leave again.

Zhang Dahuzi once said that if Qi Yuanneng could learn it to a certain extent, he would grant him leave unconditionally, as he couldn't go back on his word.

"Remember to come back and practice again in the last week. Martial arts and swordsmanship are easy to get rusty if you don't practice for a while. Since you're leaving, why don't you create some rumors with Xu Qing before you go?"

Zhang Dahuzi has been waiting for this moment for a long time, and he has to make a big splash.

He and his colleagues came up with several plans for the publicity stunt, deciding to take it slow and steady, little by little.

First, spread the news that Qi Yuan and Xu Qing are suspected of being in a relationship.

……

Posts exposing the allegations appeared on almost all mainland Chinese online forums, including Mop, SMTH BBS, and Tianya, which was launched in March of this year.

[A mysterious member of the production crew risked his life to reveal that a "princess of Beijing's elite circle" is developing feelings for a popular singer in the same production.]

"Princess of the Beijing Circle" and "Flower of Beiping" are titles that Xu Qing has held since her debut.

Within the entertainment circle, the title "Princess of Beijing Circle" is synonymous with Xu Qing.

Netizens recognized Xu Qing as soon as they saw the name "Princess of the Beijing Circle".

What movie is Xu Qing filming lately? Swordsman!
So who is the popular singer who got together with Xu Qing? It's obvious without even thinking that it's Qi Yuan.

Netizens were shocked.

Hey!
Xu Qing and Qi Yuan are dating? Is this an older man dating a younger woman?
Xu Qing is almost ten years older than Qi Yuan. Do these celebrities really go through all this exciting activities?
The discussion about this revelation has been going on for thousands of times on Tianya.

Some say Xu Qing is dating a much younger woman, some say Qi Yuan was sexually harassed by Xu Qing, some say they're a couple from the same drama series—there are all sorts of rumors. As netizens discuss Qi Yuan and Xu Qing, the popularity of the "Laughing Proud Wanderer" drama series rises.

Seeing that the pre-launch hype was enough and netizens' appetites were whetted, Zhang Dahuzi decisively decided to go all out with something big.

The hype script is as follows.

Qi Yuan took a plane to Taiwan to produce a new EP, and Xu Qing accompanied him all the way to the airport.

To ensure everything went perfectly, Zhang Dahuzi hired the most professional paparazzi.

"Have Producer Zhang's paparazzi really arrived downstairs at the hotel? I'm worried we'll be wasting our time."

Xu Qing and Qi Yuan took the elevator downstairs together. She looked at Qi Yuan with her beautiful eyes, somewhat looking forward to the performance that was about to begin.

"You can rest assured about that. He can be careless about other things, but he will never be careless about hype. He loves hype the most."

Qi Yuan knew Zhang Da Hu Zi's character all too well; hype was Zhang Da Hu Zi's main job, and film production was just a side job.

"Brother Chong, you've got guts, calling Producer Zhang 'Old Zhang'." Xu Qing chuckled and patted Qi Yuan's shoulder in approval.

Qi Yuan thought to himself, "What's this? In a few years, when Tencent goes public, I'll dare to call him Xiao Zhang."

Moreover, if you call him Xiao Zhang to his face, he has to greet you with a smile.

"Do you think we should really kiss later? Producer Zhang said it should be natural and real. I think it's normal for couples to hug and kiss when they're reluctant to part." Xu Qing blinked at Qi Yuan.

"..."

Qi Yuan felt that this woman had ulterior motives towards him!

Indeed, boys need to take good care of themselves when they go out.

The two walked out of the hotel hand in hand, behaving very affectionately.

The paparazzi, who had been waiting for a long time, saw this scene and their eyes lit up. They excitedly shouted to their colleagues, "They're here! Xu Qing and Qi Yuan are indeed having an affair. Quick, take pictures!"

In just a few seconds, they took no fewer than thirty photos.

Li Xue, Zhang Hao, and other members of Qi Yuan's team had already gone to the airport, while Qi Yuan was traveling in Xu Qing's private vehicle.

The paparazzi recognized her and exclaimed excitedly, "Look! Qi Yuan got into Xu Qing's car! Quick, drive up and follow them!"

The paparazzi followed Xu Qing's car all the way to the airport.

Xu Qing and Qi Yuan got out of the car, and the driver helped them take the luggage out of the trunk before returning to the driver's seat.

outside the car.

Xu Qing glanced at the paparazzi's car out of the corner of her eye and asked Qi Yuan in a low voice, "They're filming us, isn't it exciting?"

"A little bit," Qi Yuan smiled, putting his arm around Xu Qing's slender waist, while Xu Qing wrapped her arms around Qi Yuan's head.

After embracing for about ten seconds, according to the script given by Zhang Dahuzi, Qi Yuan and Xu Qing only needed to make a fake kissing motion.

Qi Yuan did indeed do that, but Xu Qing did not.

"If you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way and make it as real as possible."

She didn't use any camera angle; she kissed him directly.

The paparazzi nearby were overjoyed. Big news, absolutely big news! Linghu Chong and Ren Yingying really were having an affair.

"?!!"

Qi Yuan was a little stunned by Xu Qing's actions. "We agreed on a publicity stunt, but you actually want to take this too seriously?"
Having been taken advantage of by a woman, Qi Yuan couldn't swallow his anger. He grabbed Xu Qing's head and retaliated with a bite.

Xu Qing was really going at it with Qi Yuan. This time, she didn't just kiss him on the cheek; it was a real kiss that lasted for several seconds.

"Tap! We're going to strike it rich! We've got some big news!"

The paparazzi were overjoyed.
