Chapter 15 The Walking Source of Gossip
Chapter 15 The Walking Source of Gossip
.......
As everyone walked the red carpet, Fan Bingbing, under Li Bingbing's teasing gaze, generously linked arms with Fang Yi.
Immediately afterwards, Li Bingbing walked gracefully to Feng Xiaogang's side.
The group was divided into three teams.
Wang Zhonglei is in the middle of the first group.
Fang Yi, Feng Xiaogang, Fan Bingbing, and Li Bingbing lagged behind by half a step, walking in the second tier.
Behind the five, the other members of Hua Yi walked the red carpet in groups, waving to fans amidst countless flashes of light.
"Holy crap...who's that guy?"
"Fan Bingbing is smiling so happily."
"Damn...look at that guy's arm, it looks like he's rubbing it..."
"No, Fan Bingbing seems to be taking the initiative more..."
"Who exactly is he?"
"I heard it's a director..."
Outside the red carpet, a group of Fan Bingbing's male fans chatted amongst themselves while glaring at Fang Yi with hostility.
In their hearts, Bingbing is their beloved, and they will not allow anyone else to touch her.
Beside Fang Yi, Bingbing, dressed in a flowing blue dress, shone brightly and radiated starlight, making her even more charming than Li Bingbing, who was wearing a white halter dress.
If she knew what her fans were thinking right now, she would definitely yell at them for being crazy.
She wasn't afraid of being taken advantage of; she was heartbroken about the 500,000 yuan she had lent out on a whim.
She and Fang Yi had only known each other for a short time, less than two months at most.
After the money was lent out, Fang Yi didn't respond at all. If you didn't know he was in the editing room every day, you would have thought he had run away.
Bingbing is now extremely excited for the [Sniper Phone Booth] to sell well, even more so than Fang Yi himself.
After walking the red carpet for a short while, the group arrived at the interview area, where reporters who had been waiting swarmed in.
Fang Yi pulled his hand away from Bingbing's upright chest. He had to, because he vaguely saw a little girl peeking out from behind the Olympic Sports Center gate.
"You can continue with the interviews, I'll go in first."
He glanced at the crowd and strode into the Olympic Sports Center.
Li Bingbing glanced quickly at Feng Xiaogang, who was being interviewed, then walked up to Fan Bingbing and said casually, "Everyone's gone, why are you still watching!"
"Why are you meddling in other people's business?" Fan Bingbing withdrew her gaze and replied in a low voice.
"Oh dear... you don't actually like Director Fang, do you?"
"He's so handsome, it's normal for girls to like him."
The two female celebrities huddled together and whispered to each other, making it seem to an uninformed person that they were having a private chat.
However, several reporters who were interviewing Feng Xiaogang noticed that something was off between the two.
The four actresses and two actresses, Bing, have never been this close in public.
There must be something fishy about things that are out of the ordinary.
Two sharp-eyed reporters swiftly approached the two men, raising their microphones to ask questions.
"Hey you two, what were you talking about just now?"
"secret!"
The two spoke in unison, then exchanged a knowing smile as the reporter stared in disbelief.
......
"Senior brother..."
As soon as Fang Yi entered the Olympic Sports Center, he saw Liu Yifei waving at him from a short distance ahead, looking back every few steps, like a three-year-old child who couldn't walk.
"Sissi... I thought you went inside."
Fang Yi quickened his pace and came up to the little girl, pretending not to know anything and smiling.
Liu Yifei glanced behind her and said softly, "I came here with Brother Xiaoming and the others to have some fun and promote the TV series."
Fang Yi shrugged: "Got it, just like me, just passing by..."
"Just passing by?"
Liu Yifei raised an eyebrow, not understanding what it meant for a moment.
However, she was intelligent and perceptive, and after a moment's thought, she quickly grasped the meaning of the three words.
"That's roughly the idea..."
Liu Yifei nodded slightly, put her hands behind her back and looked towards the gate, casually asking, "Senior brother, are you and Fan Bingbing good friends?"
"She's not even a good friend, she's my creditor."
Fang Yi smiled slightly, patted her shoulder lightly, indicating that she should go in first.
The little girl said "Oh," and her curiosity vanished.
The two walked through the corner and entered the inner area, where many people had already gathered, and the air was filled with conversations.
Fang Yi glanced around and noticed that many industry insiders who didn't want to walk the red carpet came in through another passage.
"Xiao Ming and the others are over there."
Liu Yifei raised her hand and pointed diagonally forward, reminding Fang Yi.
Fang Yi followed the finger and saw Huang Xiaoming and Chen Kun together, surrounded by several other people, chatting quite happily.
He asked the little girl, "Do you want to come over?"
"Let's wait a bit, until they finish talking." Liu Yifei continued to look around, searching for people she knew.
Fang Yi didn't want to humbly submit to the seniors at this time, and was happy to spend time with the young girl.
The two found a seat in the third or fourth row, keeping their eyes and ears open, and secretly listened to the gossip.
Believe it or not, there was quite a bit of gossip at the scene.
Among those discussing the list of winners, [Kekexili] is expected to be the big winner, and Lu Chuan will finally be able to hold his head high.
Some people are discussing female celebrities' outfits. As the weather warms up in April, many female stars are showing off their figures without worrying about wardrobe malfunctions.
Many more people talked about the escalating controversy surrounding Huayi in the industry.
Fang Yi listened for a few minutes, then looked around and finally spotted Lu Chuan in a corner.
Surrounded by seven or eight people, this guy stood with his hands in his pockets, feigning composure, exuding an air of calm confidence as if he were about to win an award.
"Director Lu, so you've been here."
A distant greeting rang out, and Wang Zhonglei and Feng Xiaogang led a large group of people into the venue.
Xiao Wang quickened his pace and headed straight for Luchuan.
Fang Yi thought for a moment, said something to the little girl, and got up to walk to the corner.
If he's not mistaken, Lu Chuan is likely to be one of the friends Wang Zhonglei is going to introduce to him tonight.
"Zhong Lei, you've arrived."
Lu Chuan pulled his hands out of his pockets, laughed heartily, and hugged Wang Zhonglei, his previous composure instantly crumbling.
After the hug, he gestured with his chin toward Feng Xiaogang, but showed no intention of approaching him for further conversation.
Instead, they displayed an air of superiority, as if to say, "You've come here."
"Bah! A petty person who has gotten his way!"
Who is Feng Xiaogang? He couldn't stand such humiliation and spat inwardly.
He didn't bother to look at Lu Chuan's expression, and pulled Li Bingbing away.
Fan Bingbing, Xia Yu, and the others behind them were caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to leave or stay.
A large number of celebrities wanted to go up and greet Lu Chuan to build goodwill, but Feng Xiaogang's attitude made them dare not ignore him.
Finally, the group waved in Lu Chuan's direction and followed Feng Xiaogang.
Fang Yi saw this scene clearly.
It has to be Feng Xiaogang, a veritable walking source of gossip.
When he arrived, he saw that Wang Zhonglei was in high spirits, with a familiar smile on his face.
"Old Lu, that's just Xiaogang's temper, don't take it to heart."
"What's so strange? The outcome tonight is still uncertain!"
Lu Chuan snorted and sneered inwardly as he watched Feng Xiaogang's retreating figure.
He and Feng Xiaogang are not on the same wavelength; he looks down on movies that rely on humor, comedy, and vulgar ideas to make money.
Immediately, he wanted to find a quiet place with Wang Zhonglei to talk about his new work.
He had spoken with Wang Zhonglei twice before, and the latter agreed to provide him with investment.
Now that the script is complete, it's time to finalize the investment and assemble the filming team.
Lu Chuan believed that his friend Wang Zhonglei would not let him down.
Before he could make a move, Wang Zhonglei put his arm around his shoulder.
"Old Lu, let me introduce you to someone."
"Director Fang, look who this is!"
Two sentences made Fang Yi and Lu Chuan look at each other.
Fang Yi approached the two of them and smiled gently: "Senior Brother Lu, we meet again."
"It's been a while, Senior Brother Lu is still as dashing as ever..."
