C22 Suspicion
Qiao Mingyu had rushed to the set this morning and was leaving in the afternoon.
In order to match his schedule, Zhao Qi pushed back all the scenes that were supposed to be filmed today. He had time to focus on shooting Liu Yan's scenes.
In the movie, Liu Yan was Tang Yanwan's first love, so most of Qiao Mingyu's scenes were scenes with Zhou Yitong.
The two of them were not only bored in the movie, but also outside of the movie. Their words and actions were also very intimate. They did not avoid the crew at all.
Thinking about the recent scandal, almost everyone in the film knew about it. It seemed that these two were really in a relationship.
But in Lin Xi's eyes, she felt that Qiao Mingyu was too abnormal.
Qiao Mingyu was actually a low-profile and reserved person. When he was in a relationship with her in the past, he would never be so unreserved in public.
Now, his reaction seemed to be deliberately showing off his love for everyone to see.
This made Lin Xi even more convinced of her guess. Qiao Mingyu was using Zhou Yitong to cover up the truth. He was afraid that the public would know that Lin Qian was his first love.
After rearranging the sequence of filming, Lin Xi did not have any scenes in the morning, but she used the excuse that she wanted to learn senior's acting skills to successfully observe Qiao Mingyu on the set for the entire morning.
Qiao Mingyu's acting skills were skillful. He finished filming all of Liu Yan's scenes before noon.
Zhao Qi was very satisfied with the filming progress and the results. While praising Qiao Mingyu's acting skills in his heart, he also felt regret that they could not work together for a long time.
He stopped Qiao Mingyu and said, "It's still early. Let's have lunch together before we leave. "
Not only did Qiao Mingyu have good acting skills, but he could also lead the people who were putting on a show with him to quickly enter a state of mind. Such an actor was really hard to come by. Zhao Qi had the intention of looking for him for the next scene to work with him, so he decided to take this opportunity to get to know him first.
But Qiao Mingyu refused. He said, "I have other arrangements for tonight. I'm afraid I don't have time. I have to leave now. I'm afraid I don't have time to eat with you. "
"I see. " Zhao Qi said regretfully, "Then we can only wait for the next time. "
Qiao Mingyu smiled politely and said, "I'll treat you next time. "
Zhao Qi knew that he did not have much time, so he did not keep him talking. After Qiao Mingyu said goodbye to Zhao Qi, he went to find Zhou Yitong again.
Lin Xi had been quietly lying under the tree and observing. Seeing that he was getting bored with Zhou Yitong again, she felt some toothache and planned to return to the RV to eat first.
There was a nutritionist in the RV who had prepared lunch for her earlier. It was nutritious and very delicious.
But Lin Xi had only walked a few steps towards the RV when she was suddenly stopped by someone.
That voice was very familiar. It was Qiao Mingyu's.
In her previous life, she had heard him use this voice to speak to her in a romantic way, even though it was fake.
Qiao Mingyu saw her turn around, so he walked forward and asked, "Hello, you are Bai Nianxi, right?"
Lin Xi nodded.
Qiao Mingyu laughed lightly, appearing friendly and amiable. He said, "I have been busy filming since I came today and did not even bother to greet you. I heard from Lin Qian that you asked Director Qin to send her father overseas for treatment. I haven't had the time to thank you yet. "
Lin Xi snorted in her nostrils and blurted out, "Are you really thanking me?"
Qiao Mingyu was stunned and suddenly became alert, "Miss Bai, what do you mean?"
Realizing that she had asked what she wanted to say, Lin Xi quickly calmed down and said, "What I mean is that Mr. Lin's surgery is very risky. He might die on the operating table. At that time, you might not be grateful to me. "
"Life and death are determined by fate. I hope he can survive. " Qiao Mingyu sighed and suddenly said, "Oh right, you seem to have been paying attention to Mr. Lin and Lin's. I am very curious how you know him. "
Lin Xi thought to herself, so he was here to test her.
So, she used the same excuse as before. "You probably heard about it too. I grew up in a small town. My family was not rich. It was Mr. Lin who sponsored me to finish studying in college. So now I want to do something within my ability for him. "
Qiao Mingyu nodded approvingly. "If he knows that you know how to repay kindness, he will definitely be very happy. "
Lin Xi did not want to be hypocritical with him anymore, so she said, "Didn't you just say that you still have things to do? I won't disturb you anymore. "
Lin Xi had already said it to this point. She didn't want to continue chatting with Qiao Mingyu, so it was obvious what she meant. Qiao Mingyu did not have any unpleasantness. He nodded slightly and left.
Lin Xi sneered at Qiao Mingyu's back as he left. Then she turned around and continued to walk towards the RV.
After Qiao Mingyu's scenes were over, the crew started to film the scene step by step. During this period, Zhou Yitong was much more obedient. Other than filming, she spent most of her time giggling at her phone, as if she had fallen in love.
Lin Xi did not need to guess to know who the person on the other end of the phone was talking to Zhou Yitong. After all, she had seen the means of Silver Screen King Qiao to coax people. It was almost on par with his acting skills. If not for that, she would have known who the person on the other end of the phone was. He wouldn't have coaxed him back then. She ignored her father's objections and insisted on marrying him.
Just as Lin Xi thought that her days in the film crew would continue like this, a week later in the morning, Lin Xi just arrived at the film set and was almost hit in the head by a mobile phone that flew over.
Following that, Zhou Yitong angrily walked in front of her. She questioned, "Why did you treat me like this? Didn't you already accept my apology that day? Why did you still send the video? If you want me to leave the crew, then just say it directly! You have a powerful fiancé. You can let me go directly, but why did you do such a despicable thing? "
Zhou Yitong's eyes were red, as if she wanted to tear Lin Xi to pieces. If not for the crew stopping her, she was afraid that she would have directly attacked Lin Xi.
Lin Xi was baffled by Zhou Yitong's series of questions and coupled with the fact that she was almost smashed by her phone early in the morning, her expression at this moment became ugly.
"What are you crazy about?" She stared at Zhou Yitong and said, "What video? I don't know what you are talking about at all!"
Zhou Yitong snorted, "Stop pretending. What video could it be? Wasn't it just a video of me jumping into the water and trying to frame you, but in the end, I was really pushed into the water by you? Don't try to cover it up. This is clearly what you did!"
Lin Xi's assistant had already cleverly used her phone to search for the relevant news according to Zhou Yitong's information. The assistant was startled and hurriedly passed the phone to Lin Xi. She indicated for her to look at the content of the phone first.
Lin Xi took the phone and shockingly found that she had made the headlines again and was together with Zhou Yitong.
She also did not know who pretended that Zhou Yitong jumped into the water and wanted to frame her. In the end, the video of her pushing Zhou Yitong into the water was recorded and uploaded to the Internet this morning. After that, this video immediately attracted a lot of forwarding. At this moment, the entire Internet was talking about this video.
The matter of Zhou Yitong using the VICI to create hype had caused her popularity to drop by quite a bit, creating a very negative impression on her. Now, she was exposed to the cast and crew to use her acting skills to bully the newbies. Everyone's impression of her became even worse.
There were people scolding Zhou Yitong online, and there were also people mocking her acting skills. There were also many people who kept mentioning Harem and asking the crew to change the female lead. There were even some irrational people who even started scolding the crew.
This matter had already affected the crew from the actor's personal influence. No wonder Director Zhao's expression just now was not too good.
Lin Xi returned the phone to the assistant and said to Zhou Yitong, "I did not upload the video. "
Zhou Yitong's eyes were red as she sneered. "If this video was not uploaded by you, could it be that this time it was me who directed and acted? Did I upload the video myself and then destroy myself? "
Lin Xi frowned and said, "I don't know if you were the one directing and acting, but the thing in the video was indeed done by you. No one framed you. When you did it back then, you should have thought that there would be today's result. "
"I am going to kill you!" Zhou Yitong was angered by Lin Xi's words. She struggled to move forward to attack Lin Xi.
"Enough! Stop arguing!"
Zhao Qi held a megaphone and stood between the two of them. "The movie has only started for half a month and you two are already causing trouble for me. Do you still want to stay in the crew?"
After Zhao Qi finished shouting, he saw that both sides had calmed down. He sighed again and said, "Everyone saw the news today, right? The production team will be temporarily suspended for two days to discuss the public relations countermeasures. During this period, I hope that everyone can be strict with themselves and not cause trouble for me. "
It had only been half a month since the production team started filming, and the official publicity had only just been released when they were asked by netizens to change the female lead. Such bad luck even made Zhao Qi start to doubt it. Had he chosen the wrong lucky day when filming started?
He waved his hand feebly and said, "Alright, all of you go back to the hotel to rest. "
Fortunately, it was only half a month since the filming started. He wanted to wait for another two days and see how the situation on the Internet changed.
As he thought of this, He glanced at Zhou Yitong. If he really could not do it, he could only abandon the pawn to protect the car.
After the director sent out the words, the various departments of the production team began to pack up. Zhou Yitong was still a little emotional, so the staff half coaxed and half dragged her back to the hotel.
Zhao Qi saw that Lin Xi was not in a hurry to leave, so he stopped her and asked, What is it?" You really did not send the video?"
"You also suspect that I did it?" Lin Xi did not answer directly and only asked back.
Zhao Qi stared at her for a while and knew that she was suspected. He was unhappy in his heart, so he sighed and said, "Don't blame me for asking you this question too much. The video was clearly leaked from the crew, and in the entire crew, You're the only one who had a conflict with Zhou Yitong. So after everyone finished watching the video, it was inevitable that they would point the blame at you. But. . . "
Zhao Qi paused for a moment. "I've been with you for a while, and I know your personality. I believe it's not you. "
Lin Xi raised her eyebrows when she heard him. She really did not expect Zhao Qi to believe her.
She thought that Zhao Qi would still persuade her to apologize to Zhou Yitong like last time.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you for believing me. "
It was just like what Zhao Qi said just now. According to common sense, everyone would suspect that she was the one who spread the video. However, what was rare was that there were still people who were willing to believe her.
This made Lin Xi's heart could not help but feel a faint sense of gratitude.
Zhao Qi, however, was amused by her words. "What is there to thank me for? Since you are not wrong, I should believe you. "
"However," Zhao Qi suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Don't let me know who is behind this. When I find out who he is, I will skin him alive! "
Zhao Qi was really a little angry. The production crew had already been affected by this incident. If they really had to change the female lead in the end, the situation would be even worse. At that time, not only would he lose money, but he would also cause everyone to dislike this movie and affect the viewership ratings in the end.
"I will also try my best to find the real mastermind behind this and prove my innocence. " Lin Xi firmly agreed.
This time, facing the misunderstanding of the rumors, because of Zhao Qi's belief, she wanted to find out the truth and give herself justice.
