The news conference started promptly.
The emcee gave an introductory speech, followed by the addresses of various leaders.
Meanwhile, those seated at the back were starting to use their cell phones.
What was initially a rather quiet place became filled with whispers.
Li Beinian found it boring too and sometimes spoke a bit with the actors beside her.
The director went on stage soon after, while Cheng Su hurriedly came over and emerged behind Li Beinian. She then squatted down and asked, “Sister Nian, is this you?”
She handed her cell phone to Li Beinian. A piece of headline news could be seen on the screen.
#Renowned Director Suppresses the Lead and Supports the Supporting Actress#
It sounded like rather saucy news.
Li Beinian scrolled to read the article.
[No.1 Gossip Girl]: #Legend Of The Dragon Pearl Bias Incident# Bringing down the boss’s daughter for the sake of his little lover. Long Qianqian has been crying from all the scolding she got behind the scenes because of this~ [Sigh emoji] Bias in the entertainment circle isn’t anything new, but for a renowned director to be doing this! Everyone knows that he has children, and he and his wife are a loving couple. He’s been acting like a great father and great man, who knew he was like that!
The attached image was of a street at night. A slender figure was right next to a black car, while the car plate had been blurred out.
The lady in the picture was indeed Li Beinian.
But she was very clear that that was the night Liu Qingxiang had been fooled while they were filming “Nine Spies”.
Li Xueqing had such plans from back then?
Li Beinian frowned and whispered, “Don’t talk rot!”
The comments were all one-sided:
[Uploading 99.99%]: How is she beautiful at all, she’s an ugly clown to me! I knew she wasn’t anything decent! So she’s seduced the director to be in his favor, tsk tsk!
[I’m the handsomest!]: There’s no smoke without fire, and one attracts another of his kind~ Li Quan himself must be a dishonest man himself. I used to watch anything he directed, but ugh, not anymore!
[It’s a beautiful lady here]: She’s also getting involved with Liangzhi! How shameless!
…
Li Beinian could barely believe it. “This is ridiculous!”
“This user is really powerful. Practically all his news are on point, so the fans trust whatever he says.” Cheng Su was riled up. “This is disgusting!”
The audience applauded as Li Quan ended his speech.
But just as he was about to get off, someone suddenly called out, “Director Li Quan, I heard you’re giving the newbie playing Concubine Yun special treatment. Is this true?”
Li Quan smiled and received the microphone. “Rather than saying that I’m giving her special treatment, you could instead take it that she deserves to be valued and respected this much. She’s the most talented newcomer I’ve ever seen.”
“This newbie definitely is no simpleton, given that you’re giving her such high praises.” The reporter joked. “I heard that you’ve scolded every single one of your other actors and actresses very badly, and even Qin Liangzhi wasn’t spared. And yet you’ve never told Li Beinian off before. Seems like your relationship with her is unusual.”
Li Quan’s smile stiffened. “What do you mean by that?”
