After a moment of silence, Gu Yunchen suddenly remembered something and hurriedly explained:
"The screenshots of the chat between Lin Xiyanfei and I on the Internet are fake."
"In fact, it was just the opposite. She was the one who kept licking me, texting me good morning and good night every day, and cooking me a safe meal every day."
"Ha!" He sneered and said, "How could I send her such disgusting earthy love words? It's so fake."
After a pause, he asked again: "If I send out the real chat records, will it..."
"It's useless." The agent interrupted him: "Netizens won't buy anything you say now, let alone whether it is true or false. If you try to clarify it now, it will only be counterproductive and make it worse.
"
Gu Yunchen sighed and gritted his teeth and said: "Xia Weiwei, this bitch, she was the one who exposed her, and she didn't even know she was being tampered with in the process, you're stupid!"
"It doesn't matter who broke the news now." The agent looked helpless.
He sighed and said, "Now we have two ways to go."
"Which two?" Gu Yunchen asked.
The agent said, "The first step is for you to contact Lin Xiyan and ask her to help clarify that the screenshot is fake and that you broke up peacefully."
"As long as you can persuade her to forgive you, netizens will naturally not be able to criticize you."
"The second way is to treat it coldly, don't respond, don't show up, and let the matter fade away. Over time, netizens will forget about it."
Gu Yunchen frowned: "Is there no other way?"
"This is the only solution I can think of now. If we delay it any longer, things will only get worse."
"The first one is the best, if you can persuade Lin Xiyan."
Gu Yunchen sighed and said, "No way, she won't help me."
"Then choose the second path." The agent said: "In this case, you should not appear in the public eye again for the time being."
"In this case, you go abroad for a period of time in the name of studying abroad. When this matter subsides, you can come back. At that time, we can re-establish your personal profile and package it up."
In fact, these are all things for later, and doing so is actually very risky.
The most indispensable thing in the entertainment industry is handsome guys and beauties. If Gu Yunchen disappears for a while, someone new will soon take over. By the time he comes back from abroad, he may no longer have a place in the entertainment industry.
Although the Gu family is a wealthy family and has no shortage of money to spend, the result may not be what they thought.
But right now, there is no better way.
Gu Yunchen lowered his head and thought for a long time, and finally nodded.
"OK!"
…
Early the next morning.
Lu Qing called Lin Xiyan and said that he would help her get a chance to audition publicly for the second female lead in a fairy tale drama.
Lu Qing said cautiously: "Sister Xiyan, although we can only win the second female lead, I have read the complete script. It is very good and has the potential to be popular, and the director is the famous director Zou."
"I heard that the first female role has been decided, and the second female role is now open to auditions. Many second- and third-tier female stars have signed up to audition."
The more Lu Qing talked, the more nervous he became, for fear that Lin Xiyan would not agree.
After all, the person who auditioned was only the second female lead. Now that his artist has become more popular, it stands to reason that he should directly play the lead female lead.
Anyway, that's what he felt. It was all because of those people's lack of vision.
Lin Xiyan laughed, and then said: "Okay, I know, let's try it."
"Sister Xiyan, do you agree?" Lu Qing's voice was full of surprise.
Lin Xiyan: "..." If you have money, why not make it?
As if he was afraid that she would regret it, Lu Qing said hurriedly: "Sister Xiyan, I'll go pick you up now and wait for me."
"good!"
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
When Lin Xiyan and Lu Qing arrived at the audition site, there were already thirty or forty actresses waiting.
Most of these people are from the 18th line that they have never seen before.
Lin Xiyan is also a top 18, but she is very popular now. Sitting among them, she can easily attract attention.
As soon as she sat down, harsh comments reached her ears.
"Fuck, it's Lin Xiyan!"
"Lin Xiyan? That girl who is very popular on the Internet recently?"
"It's not red, it's black and red!"
"She is Lin Xiyan, let me go, she looks so cool!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down, I heard she is very fierce."
"Not to mention the evil, it is said that this woman is very evil, we'd better stay away from her."
"Damn it, why does a variety show star like Lin Xiyan come to the audition? It's so unlucky to meet her!"
…
Lin Xiyan looked up, and the voices of discussion suddenly disappeared, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
Lin Xiyan: "..."
After a while, seven or eight people came in from the door, walked to the stage, and sat down one after another. It was the director, assistant director, and several crew members.
After sitting down, the director said directly: "Okay, the scene is quiet, the audition will start immediately."
"I have everyone's information here. Now, in the order I read it, everyone will go on stage to audition."
As soon as he finished speaking, a girl in the audience suddenly stood up: "But director, we haven't gotten the script yet."
"That's right, we haven't been given a script yet, so how can we audition?"
There was a lot of discussion in the audience.
However, there are also people who sit calmly, with a calm expression on their faces that they have everything under control.
Needless to say, these are people who have behind-the-scenes information, have known about the audition content, and have been prepared for it.
The entertainment industry is like this, there can never be absolute fairness.
"Ahem..." The director coughed twice and said, "Everyone, please be patient and wait for me to finish speaking."
After the scene became quiet, the director said with a serious face: "You may not know much about me, but I am different from other directors."
"I don't like things that are step-by-step, and I don't like to play the same old tricks all the time."
"So... our audition today will not follow what is in the script."
"Each of you has ten minutes to perform on stage and improvise. You decide what to perform."
"If I need any props or people to cooperate during the performance, the staff next to me can cooperate. The same goes for the props. As long as the crew has them, we can provide them."
"The time spent preparing props and communicating with staff to coordinate content is not included, but please try not to waste too much time."
"Now I will give you ten minutes to prepare. After ten minutes, I will start to read the name. When I read the name, I will stand up and perform. Everyone will do the same."
After the words fell, the scene was silent for a minute.
Then, one of the girls raised her hand and asked: "Director, what kind of character is the second female lead we are auditioning for? Does our performance need to be based on the characteristics of the character in the play?"
"No need!" the director replied.
The scene became quiet, but from time to time soft discussions could be heard from around.
It can be seen that after hearing the director's request for a 'perverted' improvisational performance, the audition actors suddenly became nervous.
However, after all, everyone has a similar starting point, and most people are still very confident.
Lin Xiyan was sitting on the chair, always looking lazy, with no expression on his face.
ten minutes later.
The director said into the microphone: "The time is up, the audition officially begins."
"First one, Tang Sisi, please come on stage!"
As soon as the director finished speaking, a girl wearing a light blue dress and delicate makeup stood up and walked onto the stage.
The director asked: "What are you going to perform?"
"Hello director, my performance is to make me cry within one minute."
