HuaYu: Starting with Photography to Navigate the Entertainment Industry

After hanging up the phone, Xu Lang walked to the door and opened it.

Seeing Zhang Liangying standing outside, Xu Lang frowned and quickly ushered her in, but said as he did so:

"Didn't I tell you not to come here these next few days? If the paparazzi take pictures of you again and it affects your match, that would be terrible."

Hearing Xu Lang's words, Zhang Liangying's eyes reddened.

She hugged Xu Lang tightly and said emotionally:

"I'm not afraid, let whoever wants to film it film it."

At this point, she went even further, saying:

"In tomorrow's game, I will tell everyone that I followed you voluntarily. There were no under-the-table deals or transactions. I just like you."

Let them say whatever they want, I'm not afraid!

"this..."

Seeing Zhang Liangying's tears welling up, Xu Lang was deeply moved. He hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead.

But in the end, he still advised:

"Silly girl, acting on impulse won't help. Someone wants to attack me, and whatever you say now will become their weapon."

After a pause, Xu Lang continued:

"You don't need to worry about this. Just focus on the competition."

"Can..."

Zhang Liangying looked up at Xu Lang with teary eyes, "But I really don't want to see them cursing you like that."

"Let them scold me. I'm a guy, and I'm thick-skinned, why would I be afraid of being scolded? It won't stop me from eating, and it won't hurt me, right?"

"Ugh!"

Zhang Liangying was somewhat helpless about Xu Lang's condition.

Seeing that Zhang Liangying remained silent, Xu Lang knew that although this girl looked weak and frail, she was actually quite stubborn at heart, so he added:

"You must listen to me, don't do anything foolish, and especially don't say anything nonsense in the media, understand?"

"Um."

Zhang Liangying lowered her head, agreeing verbally, but in her heart she was thinking about her own plans.

the next day.

The final round of "Super Girl" saw 5 contestants narrow down to 3.

This is a crucial match; successfully advancing means finishing in the top three.

Because of the uproar caused by Xu Lang's affair, Li Yuchun, Zhou Bichang, He Jie, and Ji Minjia, who were originally being crushed by Zhang Liangying, saw an opportunity like sharks smelling blood.

Especially Wang Peng from Tianyu Media, although he had a good personal relationship with Xu Lang, when the competition involved their own interests, their personal relationship became worthless.

Wang Peng found He Ling and instructed her:

"We must suppress Zhang Liangying's popularity. It would be perfect if we could use this opportunity to eliminate her."

Hearing this, He Ling was also somewhat embarrassed.

"Although Xu Lang's matter has had some impact on Zhang Liangying, her talent is undeniable. She's also singing original songs, so it's not easy for her."

"What's so difficult about it?"

Wang Peng offered He Ling some advice:

"Here's what you're doing. When Zhang Liangying comes on stage today, there's an interactive segment, right? Just ask her directly about the online public opinion, bring it up, and see what she has to say."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, He Ling was immediately stunned.

"Isn't this going too far? Is it appropriate?"

If a celebrity talks about scandals or gossip on a TV show, it must have been pre-arranged so they can come out and clear their name.

There will absolutely not be a situation where the host directly asks about a rumored relationship.

Moreover, the "Super Girl" show also has requirements in this regard, prohibiting messy rumors from appearing in the conversation, as it is not rigorous and would appear very low-class.

But Wang Peng couldn't care less about that now. He had finally seen an opportunity to defeat Xu Lang, so how could he give it up?

"It's okay, let's just treat this as a topic from a third party's perspective and talk about it from a caring point of view. You're an expert in this, so figure it out yourself."

"this..."

He Ling scratched her head.

"Alright, enough with the formalities, let's do it this way. I'll take care of anything that happens."

Since he said that, He Ling couldn't say anything, and was thinking about what to do.

Soon, the competition began, and it was Zhang Liangying's turn to go on stage again.

As always, Jane Zhang was dressed to the nines, exuding an increasingly strong international diva aura.

As he stepped onto the stage, a commotion erupted in the audience, with many whistling and making "hissing" sounds.

Clearly, this is a response to and mockery of the online rumors that Zhang Liangying used her body to exchange for resources and was subjected to unspoken rules.

Hearing the whistles and boos, Zhang Liangying's initially anxious heart calmed down, and her eyes became even more determined.

She greeted the audience in the audience and those watching on television.

Soon, enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience, drowning out the previous whistles and boos.

Clearly, she still has a large number of fans.

As Zhang Liangying took the stage, online discussions about her erupted. After all, she was the first female celebrity to make a public appearance after Xu Lang's incident.

"No wonder she has so many good songs, it turns out they were all obtained through unspoken rules."

"Sigh, I was so infatuated with her; she turns out to be a shameless woman!"

"Thinking about it, it makes sense. She was just an ordinary bar singer, and she became so popular in just six months. It's impossible for me to say that she didn't take shortcuts."

"You know, for all those classic songs she sang, did she have to use her body to get each one? How many people must that have involved?"

"How come I heard that all those songs were written by Xu Lang alone?"

"Anyway, it disgusted me. It's a shame about her singing skills."

. . . .

Similar discussions are taking place across the internet.

Meanwhile, the host had already begun asking questions during the competition.

He Ling glanced back at the audience behind her, then looked at Zhang Liangying and asked:

"Liangying, you are the contestant who has received the most attention since the start of the competition."

But I'm also under a lot of pressure today because almost all the fan letters and calls I received backstage were asking me to ask you a question on their behalf.

His words immediately caused a stir among the audience, everyone guessing what He Ling wanted to ask.

Xu Lang, watching from backstage, slammed his fist on the table in anger and shouted:

"This is against the rules! How can you do that?!"

As he spoke, he turned to go find Wang Peng.

At this moment, Zhang Liangying on the stage knew what He Ling would ask, but she was not worried at all. There was no fear on her face, nor did she avoid the question in her eyes.

Before He Ling could speak, Zhang Liangying took the initiative to continue the conversation.

"Teacher He, I know what you want to ask. I don't want to put you in a difficult position. You don't need to ask; I'll answer this question myself."

"Whoosh!"

Zhang Liangying's words immediately caused an uproar among the audience both in the audience and watching on television.

"She actually dared to bring this up herself!"

The netizens watching the spectacle were all eager to see what would happen, and they were all very excited and ready to enjoy the drama unfold.

Zhang Liangying's die-hard fans, worried for her, clenched their fists tightly.

"Zhang Liangying, don't be foolish! How could you respond to this? This matter is unclear and ambiguous; the more you explain, the worse it gets!"

He Ling, who was in the host's seat, was particularly pleased to hear Zhang Liangying's words.

"It's good that I don't need to ask; I'll be the one to stick my neck out and be the bad guy!"

At this moment, everyone and all the lights focused on Zhang Liangying. From Zhang Liangying's perspective, the world was completely dark.

She took a deep breath and began to speak:

"You're all concerned about me and Xu Lang, right? I'll tell you everything today!"
