Chapter 223: Fans
Since the promotional pitch took place in the afternoon, everyone had to get up early to catch the plane.
The crew had arranged for Li Xing’er and Gu Weiwei to leave in the same car as they were coming downstairs but Li Xing’er’s agent re-arranged the plan.
The crew all knew about what had happened online the night before, so they did not force the two actresses to share the same car.
So Li Xing’er got a new car instead.
Her agent and assistant understood that she was not in a good mood, so they did not dare to utter a single sound after getting into the car.
Li Xing’er saw Gu Weiwei and Fu Shiyi who walked out of the hotel together, through the window.
“Have you talked with the crew about the upcoming promotional schedule?”
Her pictures taken on the red carpet had been slated by fashion professionals since the night before and now, those mean comments were still on the top search list.
It seemed that Mu Weiwei was going to become very popular soon and she must not allow that to happen.
When it came to the film promotion, she must not allow her to take the lead so that she, as the lead female role, was put into the shadows.
“I already talked with the producer, but I need to talk with Third Master as well.”
Although Li Xing’er had gained unprecedented popularity the night before, those comments were all negative ones.
Therefore, she must try her best to create a positive image in the upcoming promotion.
The best way was to cook up a story with Shiyi, so that both of them could gain popularity and help the film to be promoted.
However, it was not that easy to persuade Fu Shiyi.
He was definitely not going to give up Mu Weiwei and participate in a cooked up story with someone outside of the company.
Especially when she was not in a positive position right now.
“Talk with the crew! I am the lead role, and the promotion should focus on us two!” Li Xing’er said.
Seeing that she was angry, the agent consoled her with a low voice, “It is just for the moment. When the movie is released, you will gain a very good image once you are nominated for the Gold Phoenix Award at the end of the year.”
Actually, the gown was fine, so was the style; the issue was that she had put on too much of a show on the red carpet, so that her sexiness had been considered as lustful.
So then when Mu Weiwei showed up next to her, she was totally put into the shadows.
It was just a matter of her own personality – narrow-minded and imprudent.
As they came to the lounge of the airport, the Production Chief and Li Xing’er’s agent went over to Fu Shiyi and discussed the promotional plan.
“Master Three, you and Li Xing’er are the two lead roles of the Long Wind and the promotion has to focus on you two instead.”
Fu Shiyi was playing on his phone and he nonchalantly asked, “You want me to cook up a story with Li Xing’er, have you asked my fans if they are willing to accept that?”
“It is only for the film promotion, when the promotion ends, such a situation will not continue.” The chief explained repeatedly.
Fu Shiyi said with a bitter expression, after he finished one round of the game, “You understand that my fans prefer stars with good looks, right? If I pair up with her, they would be displeased.”
Li Xing’er’s agent had an awkward smile on her face. He was suggesting that her girl was not good-looking enough?
She was pissed inwardly, but she had to smile at him. She started to speak in a demeaning way.
“Third Master, an actor needs more than just good looks, he should be skilled at performing too…”
“So she who failed so many takes is considered skilled at performing?” Fu Shiyi countered.
“….”
Li Xing’er’s agent was rendered speechless.
The Chief sighed helplessly and said with a kind tone, “Third Master, the promotional plan was made ages ago, please do not put us and Director Yi into a bad position.”
Fu Shiyi thought for a moment and replied with a slightly better tone, “We can do the promotion together, but don’t cook up a story saying that we are flirty with each other. My rumored girlfriend never looks that bad”
