Chapter 859: Chapter 858: Shocking News
“You mean you want to cut Qiao Xiaren’s scenes?” Director Jiang bluntly pierced through Sister Zhao’s intentions.
“That’s not what I’m saying, I mean we should reshoot it and let the two actors coordinate better.”
“Reshoot my ass, the film stock isn’t coming out of your pocket so of course you’re not heartbroken, both actors were in a pretty good state just now, just leave it at that.”
With Director Jiang’s retort, Sister Zhao nearly spat blood in frustration, her face turning ashen, yet she dared not contradict Director Jiang.
Thinking it over, she could only endure it, since after all, this wasn’t her turf.
Meanwhile, as Qiao Xiaren was busy shooting in Picture City, Yeqian’s concert had already been in the works, with news released online that the first show would take place on December 7th.
Someone had leaked information online claiming that Qiao Xiaren would appear as a guest performer. As this news caught fire, it spread across major websites, with media reporters starting to contact Weini to confirm the rumor, but Weini skillfully dodged the topic, leaving the paparazzi utterly confused.
Don’t be like that, can’t you give us just a little hint?
Yeqian’s label was also taking this concert very seriously, as he was their first superstar-level talent, recognized since his adolescence as a musical prodigy.
Many grew up listening to his songs, and his influence was extraordinary.
Just when everything seemed to be going smoothly, an accident occurred. Yeqian posted an announcement on Weibo, canceling the concert and temporarily withdrawing from the music industry!
Once this news spread, it raced across various social platforms with a lightning-bolt urgency. Fan forums, QQ groups, Fan Tribe, online discussion boards, and Weibo, all were bombarded with news of Yeqian’s concert cancellation.
His fans were shocked, their first reaction being disbelief.
But whether they believed it or not, the message came directly from Yeqian’s personal Weibo. A simple sentence: I’m sorry to all the fans, the concert is canceled. And between the lines, it seemed to imply a temporary retirement from the music scene.
From the start of Yeqian’s career, fans had made a years-long promise to attend his first concert.
They had finally gotten the chance, keeping up with related news online with the tenacity of warriors after the concert announcement by Yeqian and his company.
After such a long wait, the highly anticipated concert was met with this devastating news. Fans cried out in despair, suspecting perhaps Yeqian’s Weibo account had been hacked.
Now, after everything had finally settled, why suddenly announce the concert cancellation?
The fans instantly erupted!
This news basically shook the entire entertainment industry. Yeqian had risen to fame at a young age, envied by many for his talent and luck, becoming the youngest mega-star in history.
Now, at the peak of his career, the sudden announcement of his withdrawal was unfathomable to many.
Yeqian’s agent, Brother Wu, was nearly driven insane as he could not find Yeqian anywhere, and even the company was searching. Yeqian had vanished like mist, without a trace.
Brother Wu couldn’t care about anything else and immediately called Qiao Xiaren.
He had looked everywhere else except for with Qiao Xiaren. Among the few people Yeqian always trusted were just Qiao Xiaren himself, and right, Chu Yifei. Maybe Chu Yifei and Qiao Xiaren knew of Yeqian’s whereabouts.
Just as Qiao Xiaren finished filming and planned to return to Lishui Villa, still dialing Yeqian’s number, Brother Wu’s call came barreling through.
