279 Seeking Revenge!
“It’s done!” Chen Yun said without waiting for Chen Mengmeng to ask, “Who said that you’re not allowed to act? Let’s go take a look now!”
“Now? Are we going now?”
Chen Mengmeng was a little stunned. Although with her personality, she could not slap someone in the face, she was very angry today, especially when she thought of how they had caused the entertainment industry to be in such a mess.
“Alright! I heard that they’re preparing to hold the opening ceremony early this morning. When the time comes, many media outlets will come. It’s just right to slap their faces!” Chen Mengmeng was also arrogant!
If she lost to a capable person, even if she lost in terms of looks, she would be convinced! However, what if she lost due to the unspoken rules? How could she accept this?
She thought, “Alright, you don’t want me, right? I don’t want you to be the director either!”
Chen Yun did not expect Chen Mengmeng to be so decisive. However, since he had already said it, it would not be good if he did not do it! Moreover, slapping faces was quite interesting!
Since Mengmeng wanted to go, so be it. In any case, the copyright of “Above the Crimson Clouds” was in his hands. Chen Yun could do whatever he wanted!
Meanwhile, it was already 11 pm. Chen Yun brought Chen Mengmeng to the international hotel.
In the wee hours of the morning, the opening ceremony of “Above the Crimson Clouds” would be held here!
“Above the Crimson Clouds” was adapted from a novel by a famous foreign novelist. It was deeply loved by a large number of readers.
Let’s put it this way. This book was indeed written well. Every character was especially on point. It had to be artistic, stylish, and fashionable. It was popular for an entire year. Just its fans alone numbered in the millions!
Back then, the reason why NTC Entertainment paid a huge price to obtain the copyright of “Above the Crimson Clouds” was because it had millions of fans.
“Above the Crimson Clouds” had always received a lot of attention. Ever since the day NTC Entertainment took over the copyright, the media had not stopped tracking reports. A large number of media outlets had also been informed about this morning’s opening ceremony. Basically, all the mainstream media outlets were present.
They were all foreign media outlets. Cameras were aimed at them.
“Although Li Bin’s character is not good, his works are not bad! Especially when it comes to filming art films, his attainments are not bad!”
“I’m looking forward to it. I’m also a loyal fan of ‘Above the Crimson Clouds’. To be honest, I’m especially excited that a film will be shot based on ‘Above the Crimson Clouds’!”
“I just hope that the original novel will not be destroyed and that it will be restored to its original state!”
“There’s still an hour left. I really want to know who will play the role of Qing Hua. After all, the director is Chinese. This role is also a Chinese Character that’s well-written. They will probably choose a better actress. To be honest, I fell in love with this book because of Qing Hua!”
“Yeah, me too, but I prefer Jack…”
There were many entertainment reporters present. Many of them were discussing their thoughts. They were especially looking forward to today’s opening ceremony!
That was because the casting had just ended today. They did not know who was going to star in this movie!
Meanwhile, Li Bin was also very proud! He was only 34 years old this year and was publicly acknowledged as the director with the most potential in art films! In fact, he felt that he was the best art director!
“Perhaps I can really rely on ‘Above the Crimson Clouds’ to become the best artistic film director in the country!” He muttered. He was especially optimistic about “Above the Crimson Clouds”.
“That little vixen, Zhang Mei, tsk tsk, she has an endless aftertaste!” Li Bin could not help but smile strangely. Then, he actually thought of Chen Mengmeng.
“That girl from before was not bad either, but what a pity! Well, but we can contact her. Perhaps… We can just give her a small role?” Thinking about it, he could not help but laugh.
To be honest, with Chen Mengmeng’s looks, very few men would not be tempted. As the director with the messiest private life in the industry, how could Li Bin not be interested in Chen Mengmeng?
However, how could he know that Chen Mengmeng was on the way with her brother?! It was even more impossible for him to know that his career as a director was about to end!
Backstage, Zhang Mei casually played with her phone, but in fact, she could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart!
It had to be known that she had debuted for many years. She had slept with directors countless times, but the roles she played were either insignificant or had no popularity!
However, this time was different. “Above the Crimson Clouds” was too famous! Moreover, she had successfully obtained the role of Qing Hua through the unspoken rules again!
One had to know that Qing Hua was the soul of this movie and a Chinese character. As long as her acting wasn’t too bad, she would definitely become popular! Moreover, she had already thought about it. When the time came, she would make all kinds of headlines. In short, she had to become popular this time!
At 11:30 am, according to the production team’s arrangements, she updated her Weibo at the same time and announced her role!
Zhang Mei couldn’t take it anymore. She had already drafted a Weibo post a few hours ago and had been waiting for this moment!
When the time came, she was the first to update her Weibo! Although she was only a third-rate celebrity, she still had a fan base. As soon as her Weibo post was released, it exploded!
“D*mn, Mei Mei, are you joking?”
“Is our Mei Mei actually playing the role of Qing Hua?”
“To be honest, although Mei Mei is indeed good, I don’t think she’s suitable for this role!”
“I agree. I don’t think Mei Mei is suitable for Qing Hua either. I’m not an anti-fan!”
Such heavy news naturally spread very quickly! Many people on the Internet were paying attention to the main lead who would play the role of Qing Hua. Zhang Mei’s Weibo post had attracted a lot of attention!
“Zhang Mei? I’ve never heard of her! Why should she star as Qing Hua?”
“I’ve seen her. She’s not bad-looking, but her temperament is too bad. She can’t act like Qing Hua at all!”
“D*mn, this is too different from Qing Hua’s temperament, right? Is the director blind? I’m not convinced!”
“It’s quite good. I think it’s not bad!”
Although there were many Internet trolls, to be honest, Zhang Mei had really been criticized badly this time!
The reason was that she was actually not suitable for the role of Qing Hua at all. If she really acted in it, it would really destroy the classics!
However, Zhang Mei did not care at all. She looked at the comments that criticized her and was not angry at all.
To be honest, she was extremely happy now! The entertainment industry was too deep. She really couldn’t play without some skills! As far as she was concerned, it was even more uncomfortable if no one criticized her. After all, if no one criticized her, she wouldn’t be popular…
What was the most important thing about being a celebrity? Popularity!
Without support, even first-rate celebrities would not become famous for long! With support, even third-rate celebrities would have a chance to turn things around!
So what if she was scolded? As long as she could make the headlines, it didn’t matter even if she was criticized! Moreover, as the saying went, everyone had their own preferences. No matter how unlikable Zhang Mei was, there were still many people who supported her!
