coronation of stars

Chapter 34: Tit for Tat (1)
Before the main interviewee showed up today, reporters and netizens thought about many possibilities.

For example, Qiao Yan will act as a victim, crying and complaining about the malicious personal attacks of media netizens on her; Attending instead of Qiao Yan himself; some people even thought that today's press conference is to announce the change of the heroine...

However, no one could have imagined that Qiao Yan himself did not seek protection from the company, nor did he evade public inquiries, but stood up on his own initiative and faced the media frankly.

What was even more unexpected was that the person standing in front of her with such an absolutely protective attitude was actually Mu Ting.

Faced with a female artist whom almost everyone hates, why didn't Mu Ting take the initiative to stand up for it instead of avoiding it?He and Qiao Yan only cooperated for a short time, how could they establish such a desperate friendship?

What is the relationship between Mu Ting and Qiao Yan?
Amidst the chattering voices of the media, unscrupulous gazes of guessing and sizing shot over one after another.Without changing his face, Mu Ting stretched out his hand to pat the microphone, making another loud noise, then turned around under the eyes of everyone, bent slightly and approached Qiao Yan, with an intimate posture almost whispering.

But what he said was not so affectionate.

"Where's your company's public relations department? Dead?!" He whispered into Qiao Yan's ear, his tone almost gnashing his teeth, "It's too easy to play! How can the public relations do this, let you stand up and clarify the management Ass?!"

He waited for a few seconds, but he didn't hear Qiao Yan's answer, nor did he respond to his reproach and inquiry.He took a step back and stood up straight with some doubts, but saw Qiao Yan slightly lowered his head, his eyelashes drooped, and his lips were slightly pursed. After a few seconds, he finally raised his head and met his gaze lightly.

Mu Ting froze in place for a moment.

The time he had known Qiao Yan was not too short, but there were not many opportunities to meet him.But he can always easily recall every appearance of Qiao Yan in his sight, like every young man who is in love, he is serious enough to the person he likes.

He has seen many kinds of Qiao Yan's expressions. As an excellent actor, Qiao Yan's facial expressions are very rich, joy, anger, sorrow, sorrow, joy and resentment. Smiling, but there are always slight differences between the brows, some are firm and gentle, some are cunning and nimble, he thinks each of them is beautiful, and he thinks he has seen many of them.

However, he had never seen Qiao Yan like this before. Her facial features were not affected in any way, she was so calm and calm that she was almost indifferent, and she was so silent as if she had nothing to do with her.

And only those eyes looking at him were covered with a layer of light, crystal mist that couldn't be concealed.She opened her eyes vigorously, the mist gradually thinned and dispersed, and then she blinked vigorously, holding back all the tears.

Such a strong person, in the face of this situation that is almost condemned by everyone, is terribly calm and self-reliant, but now his eyes are suddenly red because of his support.Mu Ting felt warm and sore in his heart, and many words that were pressed in his heart were already on his lips, but he didn't know where to start.

After all, this is not a suitable time for long talks.

In this short 1 minute, the reporters have reacted quickly.The flashes rang out from the very beginning, and after he backed away from Qiao Yan, all the sharp doubts and speculations finally stabbed Qiao Yan directly one after another.

The voices of asking questions were mixed together, and occasionally there was a particularly sharp and piercing malicious sound.Mu Ting got angry when he heard it, and was about to call back, but saw Qiao Yan stretched out his hand to him, and finally spoke to him the first sentence after meeting.

"Do you still have the microphone?" she asked.

"Here." Mu Ting didn't say much, and directly gave her the spare microphone from the assistant behind him.Qiao Yan also patted the microphone like him, and then took two steps forward, bypassing Mu Ting, and facing the crowded media.

"What do you want to ask me? Limit to one question."

She raised the microphone to her lips, raised her finger and asked a reporter who was closer to her.The reporter was still struggling to push forward with the crowd, trying to break through the blockade of the bodyguards and completely bury Qiao Yan. It took several seconds for him to realize that Qiao Yan had clicked on him.Overjoyed, he picked up the microphone and quickly asked questions.

"Miss Qiao Yan, do you know about the recent scandal that you were adopted as a foster child? Do you have anything to say?"

"Informed, malicious slander, next."

The reporters present were once again strangely silent for a moment.

...This answer is not right, is it?

A reporter standing on the other side grabbed the right to speak while everyone was stunned for a moment, raised his voice and asked sharply: "Since Ms. Qiao Yan said that the news is malicious slander, can you please explain it? Why can you appear in Xu Zhen's new play and Gu Feisheng's new movie?"

"Which company is your company? To call a malicious speculative rumor that is not an established fact news, do you think you are worthy of the word "news", or the five words of "journalist?" Qiao Yan raised her eyebrows and spoke clearly. , tit-for-tat, "Every artist can get new resources, I can get such a good one, I have to thank the company's cultivation, second, I want to thank the director for his appreciation, and third, I am good-looking and good at acting, don't you It doesn't matter if you agree, but if you don't agree with me, you are not qualified to get good resources?"

The voices of the reporters suddenly exploded into a mass, and the scene fell into complete chaos.Qiao Yan held the microphone tightly in a fighting posture, her eyes were shining brightly, her eyes were clear and sharp, and the flashes and shutters sounded frequently, making people dizzy, but she refused to even lower her head a little.In the midst of the noise, a sharp voice suddenly sounded from nowhere, the voice and the question were too harsh, and it suppressed all the mixed noises for a while.

"Is it okay to just admit it after being adopted by the unspoken rules? There are so many things that fall from the sky and just hit you on the head. I want to be a slut and want to set up a memorial archway. I am about to throw up. Can you stop being so disgusting?" ?”

This question was so powerful that even the noise subsided for a while. Countless reporters present and netizens in front of the computer couldn't help but hold their breath, waiting to see how Qiao Yan would respond.

And Qiao Yan's gaze scanned the group of reporters a few times to find the source of the voice, but the voice completely disappeared at this moment.She sneered, full of irony, and when she raised the microphone again, her voice was soft and cold.

"If a person's heart is not clean, then everything he sees will be dirty."

There are too many struggling artists from grass roots in the entertainment industry. She doesn't know what kind of outrage and what kind of backlash this sentence will arouse, and she has no time to care about it.

Qiao Yan turned around suddenly, startling everyone, including Mu Ting, everyone couldn't react as Qiao Yan returned to Kaixing's car, and took out a stack of not-so-thin bags from the passenger seat. of printing paper.She walked back to her original position and spoke into the microphone.

"I haven't seen the staff of Sharp Entertainment Weekly today. If you have seen it, please remember to pass this thing on for me--the reporter who asked the last question just now, you can take one too, and I will give it to you. of."

She smiled politely, as gentle and beautiful as usual, and then with such a smile, she raised the printing paper in her hand to the sky like a goddess, and the paper slowly rose, spread, and fell in the air , like a white rain.

Countless copies of lawyer's letters were scattered around the reporters. They opened their mouths silently, watching Qiao Yan speak the last sentence into the microphone, but then returned the microphone to Mu Ting's assistant, ending the interview.

She said: "I'm going to attend the opening ceremony, the rest of the matter, we have a long time in Japan, we will talk in detail slowly."

After she returned the phone, Mu Ting glanced at Mu Ting again. Mu Ting noticed her gaze, closed his mouth that had been unconsciously opened, and looked back at her.

Then he slowly raised the corners of his lips to her, smiling brightly and arrogantly, looking at her with focused and fiery eyes, which made her want to dodge for a moment, but felt reluctant.

She nodded to Mu Ting as a greeting and farewell, and was about to walk into the venue along the road opened by the bodyguards forcefully. Mu Ting suddenly leaned over to hold her hand, and turned around herself. Pull her forward.Qiao Yan was stunned for a moment, the road was so narrow, and it was too deliberate to break free, so she was led away by him for a while.The reporter who finally came to his senses asked remedially loudly as they walked forward.

"Mr. Mu Ting! Why did you come here to support Qiao Yan today?"

Qiao Yan couldn't help but look up at Mu Ting when he heard the words.At this moment, Mu Ting still had the microphone in his hand. He turned his head to look in the direction of the reporter who asked the question, and answered directly into the microphone directly. His voice was clearly transmitted to all the reporters and netizens through the speakers outside the venue. in the ear.

"Because I like her, otherwise what do you think?"

Qiao Yan's footsteps stopped suddenly, and was pulled by Mu Ting before continuing to move forward.She quickly lowered her head, the emotions in her eyes were complicated and difficult to understand, and she didn't want anyone to peep.

She couldn't quite tell when she started to be so powerfully attacked by this person.She is overly self-confident and lacks courage, and her emotions come too aggressively. On the one hand, she is a little helpless, and on the other hand, she is also a little confused.Her family was not harmonious in her childhood, and she knew the warmth and suffering of human relationships early on. She imagined the happiness that this person might bring to herself, but she couldn't do anything except wait intently.

And now, at the worst time of her life, in the worst situation of her life, she had received the most ardent and firm response and invitation from the person she had been waiting to be near.

Things like being hacked, scolded and splashed with dirty water can always be resolved.When she was being led away by Mu Ting, she thought endlessly that she had already gone through the worst valley, and her life would always develop in a better and better direction, just like now.

This journey seemed very long and very short. She couldn't recall exactly how she got into the venue.Mu Ting led her to the backstage lounge. Reporters were not allowed to enter the venue, and it was still very clean.

But there are still two or three staff members, and most of them have already learned about the latest developments from the Internet. Everyone who passes by looks at them with vaguely excited gossip and high interest.Mu Ting simply didn't enter the lounge, and stood opposite Qiao Yan at the open door, bowing his head to say goodbye to her.

"The time for media questions at today's press conference must be cancelled. Even if it hadn't been cancelled, Director Gu would not have arranged for you to be interviewed. He knows it well, and it's time to push the hero today." He whispered to Qiao Yan, a little Frowning slightly, he looked at her solemnly.

"Don't go back after today's press conference. There may be reporters standing guard. You can directly enter the set tomorrow morning. Director Gu's films have always been closed for filming and visits are not open. Reporters can't get in...Of course, I can't get in either. , take care of yourself."

He rubbed his hair a little irritably, and suddenly thought of something, he lowered his head and continued to add.

"Don't worry about this stupid thing now. It will be resolved after you finish filming the movie. I have also experienced this kind of battle. I understand what they are thinking. Don't worry."

"...Well." Qiao Yan responded in a low voice, her eyelashes lowered in a dodgy way, "Actually, you don't have to do so much, I can't repay you."

"What's your attitude? I just confessed to you, and you're going to reject me?" Mu Ting was almost laughed at by her, and he slapped Qiao Yan's head hard with his fingers, and then he couldn't hold back and spread his hands to rub it again. Rubbing, "But this time the situation is special, I make an exception and allow you to reject me once."

Qiao Yan looked up at him.

"Now that you have promised me, isn't that the same as confirming the matter of hugging the thigh and taking the seat. For you, there is no essential difference between Cao Rui and me." Clear and bright, he understood Qiao Yan's hesitation and complicated mood very well, "It's fine for others, but if you are allowed to develop with such a label forever, you are not willing, and I am not willing."

Qiao Yan looked at him quietly for a while, then silently covered her mouth and turned her head away, her eyes were moist, and the tears she had endured for a long time finally fell quietly.

"Yesterday I really wanted to call you and ask you if you believe I am innocent." She said with a trembling voice, turning her face away to prevent Mu Ting from seeing her expression, "but I dare not."

"What kind of phone call, if you feel innocent, stand up and testify, slap your face, just like today, very handsome, I like it." Mu Ting answered quickly, and Qiao Yan couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Wipe your tears and turn around quickly, I have something to tell you." Mu Ting urged her.

Qiao Yan kept his back posture and calmed down for a moment, and the corners of his eyes were still a little red when he hurriedly turned his head.

"What's the matter?" she asked.

"After spending so much effort, I'm still rejected by you. I'm not very happy." Mu Ting answered frankly without any concealment, lowering his head and holding Qiao Yan's face with one hand.

"I want to kiss you. If you don't avoid it, I will take it as your promise."

Qiao Yan looked up at him, Mu Ting smiled, bowed his head and kissed him.

Occasionally, one or two staff members who are full of gossip pass by. When they pass by, they look at the lounge side evasively, but they only see Mu Ting blocking the door tightly. He is so tall that he can't see into the lounge at all. scenario.

Probably Qiao Yan was crying... I didn't expect Prince Mu to be so considerate.

Satisfied, the staff carried their speculations far past the lounge door to share the news with others who cared.A door separates the two ends, the slightly noisy voice is vaguely outside, but inside the door——

They hugged each other and kissed quietly.

It is difficult to accurately count how much Qiao Yan's tough response has ignited a new round of enthusiasm in this already boiling topic.Just take one thing as an example. Since his debut, Mu Ting has been widely known as a gossip insulator and a face-slapping madman. It is the first time that he has clearly confessed his love to another female artist in public, and his attitude is firm and frank, just like a textbook. Vigorous, grand and romantic.

But this did not suppress Qiao Yan's attention.

Of the headlines on the front pages of the major news media the next day, one-third was about Mu Ting's public display of love, and two-thirds were about Qiao Yan's strong response to recent rumors.Qiao Yan's attitude towards the media that day was actually quite polite, but it was not liked by the media. Almost half of the reporters sneered at Qiao Yan overtly and secretly in the report.

There are too many celebrities who have sent lawyers' letters. After sending them out, they will prove their innocence?Hypocritical.

However, what many media did not expect was that this time, a considerable number of people hesitated to stop criticizing and attacking Qiao Yan, and their tone and attitude changed from the original fierce resistance to a relatively calm one. They all expressed the need to pay attention to the progress of the incident , it is too early to draw a conclusion on Qiao Yan.

A large group of them are Gu Feisheng's fans.The trust they have built up in Gu Feisheng for a long time is not so easily shaken, but some time ago Qiao Yan was indeed hacked to the most unbearable degree by everyone, and she never even responded positively, and only followed the trend when she was extremely disappointed. He tried his best to discredit Qiao Yan.And when Qiao Yan finally appeared in front of the public on the day of the press conference, they were surprised to find——

Qiao Yan, this kind of response is really...

too handsome.

She was originally very popular with the audience, beautiful and gentle without being obsequious, she is the type that both men and women are more fond of, and the audience foundation laid by "Chivalrous Girl" has been affected by the scandal, but her acting skills are obvious to all For a while, many of Gu Feisheng's fans and passers-by felt that Gu Feisheng still had an eye for choosing actors, and after an actor's acting skills were recognized, other things became less worrisome.
