Part 4 of Chapter 79
Please Like Her 30 – (Beware) Brother-Father & original FL scenes + Variety show’s final episode recording
Then, following the order of the negative comments they had read at the time, the program team played Jiang Jing’s response first.
At that time, Jiang Jing didn’t look as gentle as she does now, and she even seemed somewhat restrained and cold, clearly suppressing her emotions.
Lin Yanyan widened her eyes and said, “So Sister Jiang Jing was angry back then!”
Ye Lu was also surprised and nodded in agreement.
Jiang Jing somewhat helplessly covered her forehead with her hand and said, “My agent insisted that I participate in this program at that time, and I wasn’t very willing myself. But now, I’m grateful that I came because it allowed me to meet all of you.”
Lin Yanyan, feeling moved, hugged Jiang Jing’s arm.
And Shang Lu spoke up for Jiang Jing, saying, “Sister Jiang Jing is not what everyone thinks. When we were discussing the script before, she voluntarily suggested cutting her own lines to highlight my spotlight scenes and make herself a supporting character.”
Jiang Jing smiled and said, “That’s because you acted really well, and there were several parts I didn’t quite understand, but you explained the character’s motivations to me.”
The atmosphere was very heartwarming until Song Zeqian chuckled and said, “You two can save these compliments for later. It sounds like praise now, but if everyone ends up thinking the movie is terrible, you’ll look like you’re passing the blame.”
The people on scene burst into laughter.
The live broadcast room was no different.
[Song Zeqian, can’t you maintain the warm atmosphere for one more second?]
[Wow, Director Song can’t even spare his own crew with that mouth, hahaha.]
Next up was Song Zeqian.
In the video, he had a mocking expression and said, “With your acting skills, there’s no way you’d appear in my crew. I’d never use traffic celebrities like you who rely on their popularity.”
They added five handprints to Song Zeqian’s face with editing.
The scene completely spiraled out of control this time.
Both the guests and the program team burst into laughter.
Shang Lu laughed so hard that she fell onto the couch and hammered the pillow in her arms, saying, “You didn’t leave anyone out, hahaha!”
The others were in similar situations.
Even Xu Ze, who didn’t usually show strong emotions, was laughing so hard that his shoulders shook.
[World Famous Painting : ‘Song Zeqian Slapped on the Face’]
[Director Song was really arrogant back then; he would never have expected this outcome, hahaha.]
[The previous Director Song : “Who among you deserves to join my cast?” Time gave him the answer : “Everyone.”]
The program team also seized this opportunity to ask numerous questions that netizens were concerned about : “This upcoming movie has generated a lot of controversy online, and I’m sure you all know about it.”
Everyone nodded, and their gazes involuntarily turned to Song Zeqian.
Song Zeqian remained calm in his expression, and he responded, “Feel free to discuss it. My team and I don’t mind. Everything will be judged when the movie is released, and I invite everyone to give us their ratings.”
The director couldn’t help but ask further, “Director Song, do you have great confidence in yourself?”
“Yes,” Song Zeqian smiled slightly, and he looked into the camera, saying, “I know many of you have doubts about us, but please trust me. They are the most suitable actors, and I am very satisfied with the current arrangement.”
The most suitable actors, very satisfied with the current arrangement.
Song Zeqian gave high praise to the people in front of him. He spoke calmly, but his expression was resolute.
In an instant, everyone had the same thought in their minds : we must do our best to perform in this movie to not let down Song Zeqian’s trust.
The program team then proceeded to have them watch the first segment, which was the responses to negative comments, then it was time for them to watch the second segment.
The program team invited the black fans who had participated in the first episode recording, the ones to whom the guests had once promoted pig feed product face to face, to have a video call with the guests this time.
The first participant in the video call was Sweetie Donut.
She had applied a delicate makeup that made her look more youthful, and behind her were heaps of fan support items for Shang Lu. She asked with a blank expression, “Do I need to say anything else?”
[Hahaha, who doesn’t know that Sweetie Donut has already become a Shang Lu fan?]
[I’m laughing so hard, why did they put the one who changed the most outrageously at the beginning?]
Shang Lu suppressed a laugh and made a heart sign toward Sweetie Donut.
Sweetie Donut blushed in an instant, and she deliberately maintained a stern face, taking the opportunity to advertise for her fan club.
Ye Lu gave Shang Lu a thumbs up and commented, “Impressive.”
The second person to join the video call was Ye Lu’s black fan.
He is a seemingly cute male high school student who appears somewhat reserved. His first words were, “I’m a little nervous.”
Jiang Jing comforted him, saying, “It’s okay, take your time.”
The male high school student took a deep breath and said, “Actually, Ye Lu, it’s not that I didn’t like you when I watched your show for the first time. But honestly, you’re too loud, you talk too much. I think as an idol, you should…”
“I talk too much? Where did I talk too much!” Ye Lu stood up directly. “You guys see how he keeps blabbering. If I don’t talk more, I’ll just have to listen to him scold me!”
Lin Yanyan grabbed a pillow and pressed Ye Lu’s head, smiling at the male high school student, “You continue, go on.”
The male high school student scratched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly, “Actually, it’s nothing. I just felt it was childish of me to join in the online criticism of Ye Lu when I didn’t like him before. I also want to apologize to Ye Lu here.”
Ye Lu freed himself from under the pillow and generously said, “It’s okay. Since you know your mistakes, you just need to correct them. Compliment me as handsome, and I’ll forgive you!”
The male student : “…”
The video call was immediately disconnected.
Everyone on-site : “?”
Although they didn’t understand what had happened, it didn’t stop them from teasing the frustrated Ye Lu.
What happened?
Is it so difficult to just praise him and end the grudge with a smile?
But the netizens knew the truth.
[This guy was a fan of Xia Yuan, but later he climbed over the wall and turned to become Ou Yi’s fan.]
[Although he apologized to Ye Lu, he’s still cheering for the other side, haha.]
Next, other people took turns on the video call, and the last one was Song Zeqian.
Song Zeqian’s black fan was a girl who appeared to be in her twenties and had a gentle demeanor.
Lin Yanyan whispered to Shang Lu for some background, “It’s this girl. Song Zeqian mocked her idol’s acting skills at the time, almost making her cry.”
The girl was straightforward, saying, “To be honest, Song Zeqian, I don’t have any change of heart about you. I don’t like your arrogance, it often makes me feel you’re too mean, and you’ll always be the type I dislike the most.”
Song Zeqian was quite candid, saying directly, “That’s fine.”
He naturally knew about his personality issues; some people like him, and some people don’t. It’s perfectly normal.
The girl fell silent for a moment, just as Ye Lu and the others were about to ask if there was an issue. However, she blinked her eyes and continued, “But I really like the concept of your new movie. I will buy tickets with my parents and friends to support it. I hope you all can shoot it well and not let the people looking forward to this movie down. I also hope that more people can pay attention to real-world issues through this opportunity.”
As she spoke, the girl made a cheering gesture towards the screen.
Song Zeqian was momentarily surprised.
Others were equally taken aback.
Everyone looked at each other, and without laughing or making noise, they displayed an unusual synchrony in their reactions.
They all stood up together and bowed to the screen.
“Alright,” Song Zeqian responded and also stood up, bending over to say, “We won’t let you down, and we look forward to your feedback.”
At that moment, they weren’t just representing Xiao Taoyan’s guests; they were representing the entire cast and crew of <Evil>, showing the utmost sincerity to the audience willing to support them.
