Chinese Entertainment: Directors Start with the Fairy Sister

The rumors about "transgender" are actually quite easy to deal with.

Clarify what needs to be clarified, appeal what needs to be appealed, and then throw out a few explosive topics to divert attention from both inside and outside the industry.

Even if there are still haters who are fixated on the "transgender theory," with that small number of haters and the online trolls that Song himself employs, they can't cause any real trouble.

Unfortunately, Liu Xiaoli is not a professional agent, and the agent assigned to her by Hongxingwu is also unprofessional. Liu Yifei herself has the attitude of "the innocent will clear themselves, and the wise will understand", and doesn't care about the suggestions of those haters.

They didn't react at all in the first place.

On the contrary, Yang Siwei, as expected of an expert in crooked ways, saw through the strangeness at a glance.

"Boss, I think we should pay attention to this issue. This isn't the first time this kind of news has appeared. If we let it continue, it could very well affect Yifei's popularity and public image!"

"Go find Liu Yifei and the others first, and get some documents that can actually prove Liu Yifei's female identity. Make a statement as soon as possible; this matter must be dealt with quickly!"

Although Jiangcheng in 87 did not yet have standardized birth certificates, it did have "Birth Medical Record Cards" and "Birth Registration Books".

If this evidence were presented after the scandal had fully erupted, when casual fans were also caught up in the scandal and lost their rationality, turning into haters, it might not be of much use.

However, before things escalate, it's still possible to keep casual fans rational.

In this "scandal," the only ones worth winning over are these still naive casual fans; the haters don't care about any evidence!

So what if it's black? Evidence is irrelevant!

It's unclear whether Liu Xiaoli still keeps these old-fashioned items, but given her doting nature towards her daughter, it's highly likely she does.

If it were her, Zhao Yanxi thought she would definitely keep some of her daughter's cherished keepsakes from childhood to adulthood.

...

As for the topic of the explosion, Zhao Yanxi could only sacrifice her "reputation".

Fortunately, I had already been shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival, so even if it were revealed that I had also made a horror film, it wouldn't have much of an impact.

Accusing yourself of not understanding film art? Try getting nominated for one of the top three cinematic awards first!

It's been shortlisted for one of the top three European box office rankings, so has your box office grossed over 100 million?

Directors who meet both of these conditions are few and far between, so who would be so bored as to come out and complain about making a horror movie?

"Paul, arrange for someone to buy me a plane ticket back home, the sooner the better!"

"Yan, are you going back now? Last night, many people contacted our company, wanting to invite you to their press conferences and parties. You know, Oscar is coming soon..."

"I'm not going. I don't know many people, what would I do there? You go for me."

"I'd like to too, but these invitations specifically invite you by name. Otherwise, I would have gone!"

Paul's tone on the phone couldn't hide his envy.

He used to be a professional manager in Hollywood, but his company went bankrupt, so Zhao Yanxi recruited him as her agent.

But he wasn't as successful as he is now when he was in Hollywood!

He also wanted to go to a few more parties with Zhao Yanxi, hoping to sleep with a few female celebrities—that former bum boss...

Sigh, I can't talk about it anymore, it's all tears. I almost ended up having to accompany a rich woman to get investment for him!

"Remember to let Ryan know so he can make time to go to Berlin."

"Yes," Paul smiled and said, "believe me, no actor would waste the opportunity to walk the red carpet at the three major European cities."

"That's for the best!"

......

Yang Siwei saw through the little relationship between his boss and Liu Yifei better than anyone else.

Although she doesn't really believe in "love" in the entertainment industry, she also doesn't believe that Liu Yifei and her boss can really go all the way.

However, since the boss said to "handle it as soon as possible," Yang Siwei didn't dare to delay.

If Liu Yifei really becomes his boss, and this matter isn't handled well, causing too many problems, Yang Siwei doesn't even dare to imagine how he'll face them in the future.

Yang Siwei no longer has the same idea he had when he joined the company: to find a promising newcomer and create a brilliant future together!

All she wants now is to cling tightly to her boss!

A renowned writer, a director with hundreds of millions in assets, a director nominated for the Berlin Film Festival, and capable of making money in the United States, he returned home and bought a large villa in full without touching any of the company's money.

If a director and boss with both talent and wealth misses out on this opportunity, their career in the film and television industry is probably over!

Early in the morning, while it was still barely light.

Yang Siwei drove directly to Qingcui Garden. Fortunately, she had been there once when she was helping Zhao Yanxi deal with the villa issue, so she knew where Liu Yifei and her daughter lived.

When Liu Xiaoli got up early to feed and water the cats and dogs that Liu Yifei kept, she saw Yang Siwei's car parked in front of her house.

"Hello, who are you?"

Liu Yifei knew Yang Siwei, but Liu Xiaoli had never met him.

The former participated in the promotional discussions for "You Are the Apple of My Eye," and since Liu Yifei did not leave Beijing, Liu Xiaoli would not stay by her side at all times, so she naturally never met Yang Siwei.

"Hello Auntie, my name is Yang Siwei, and my boss is Zhao Yanxi. He sent me to find you and Yifei!"

"Yan Xi? Director Yang Siwei?"

Liu Xiaoli also realized that she had heard Liu Yifei mention this person before, and it seemed that Zhao Yanxi valued him quite a bit.

"Yes, it's me. Auntie, you can just call me Xiao Yang."

Hearing Liu Xiaoli address Yan Xi as "Yan Xi," Yang Siwei felt a chill run down his spine. The boss was really serious; he had actually won over his mother-in-law.

Fortunately, I handled it carefully!

"Siwei, is there something you need from Yanxi that made you come so early?"

"Auntie, is Yifei home? It would be best to talk to her about this together."

"Then I'll go wake her up."

Seeing Yang Siwei's serious expression, Liu Xiaoli seemed to realize the seriousness of the situation and immediately went upstairs to wake Liu Yifei up.

Liu Yifei, who had something important to do, was quite reliable and quickly followed her mother downstairs.

"Sister Siwei, is there something wrong with Yanxi?" Liu Yifei asked seriously.

"It has nothing to do with the boss; it's your problem."

Yang Siwei sighed and told Liu Yifei about the "transgender rumors" circulating online.

Yang Siwei spoke earnestly, but Liu Xiaoli and her daughter seemed unconvinced.

"Siwei, you came all this way so early for such a small thing, you're so dedicated!" Liu Yifei chuckled. "I'll call Yanxi right now and ask her to give you a raise~"

As Liu Yifei spoke, she prepared to call Zhao Yanxi.

"No, Yifei," Yang Siwei said with a wry smile, "The boss should still be in heaven right now, but he should be coming over this afternoon."

"Yan Xi is back too? Is it also for this matter?"

Seeing that the mother and daughter were not taking the matter seriously, Yang Siwei quickly explained, "Auntie, Yifei, this matter is not as simple as you think."

"This is different from last year... It's no exaggeration to say that Yifei is the most popular female artist right now, and also the public enemy of all female artists. There's no shortage of people in the industry fanning the flames for this kind of rumor."

Yang Siwei recounted her discussion with Zhao Yanxi about this matter to the mother and daughter in detail.

"If this rumor turns into a scandal, it will definitely affect your public image, Yifei. Not only will your popularity and buzz suffer, but even your endorsements will be affected!"

After hearing what he said, the mother and daughter were both stunned.

"Siwei, is this really that serious?"

"Yes, Sister Siwei, it's just a little rumor."

"Trust me, I'm from the School of Media Studies, and I understand the risks involved better than anyone else. Besides, the boss is very concerned about this matter, so you should trust my boss's wisdom!"

Seeing how serious Yang Siwei was, Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei gradually realized the danger involved!

"So, Siwei, how should we cooperate with you?"

"Auntie, you don't need to worry about it. I just need a few things: Yifei's birth certificate and some childhood photos of Yifei. Then I'll have Hongxingwu send a lawyer's letter directly."

"We'll talk about the rest after the boss gets off the plane!"

"Okay, I'll go get it for you right away!"
