Because the last reporter's question was very sharp, all the media quieted down, waiting to hear Qi Xingchen's answer.
The voices of the five hot-blooded young men accompanied by the nine parrots were transmitted to the ears of everyone in the performance field as soon as they came out.
"Boss, boss, quack quack."
"Boss, boss, quack quack quack."
The bird trainers were so surprised that they called the boss without thinking.
Seeing people looking at them, they hurriedly stopped the parrots.
They even whistled and scolded the birds: "Shut up, don't call!
The manager told us to pretend we don't know the boss! "
The parrots tilted their heads and seemed to have caught a funny word: "Boss, we don't know!
Boss, boss, we don't know! "
In addition to the paper media and new media, there were no less than five live broadcast platforms.
The reporters immediately turned their cameras to the door, and a funny and magical scene suddenly appeared on the screen.
The number of bullet comments increased sharply:
[Damn, I'm dying of laughter, hahaha, I just heard the voice and didn't see the picture, I didn't expect it to be so magical!]
[Bird trainer: If you don't shut up, I'll kill you!]
[Little brothers, there's enough for dinner tonight, I don't know if the parrot stew is delicious.]
[Parrot: Boss, me, parrot, give me money.]
The netizens were playful for a while, and then a blind student found a point:
[The little brothers and parrots spoke when Qi Xingchen was about to speak, it should be him.]
[The bird trainers looked in that direction, but isn't Qi Xingchen from an ordinary family?
I live next door to H City, and the Baisha Harbor Ocean World is a famous scenic spot in the country. The boss of Baisha Harbor must be very rich, it's impossible for him to earn a salary.]
Such a beautiful girl opening an Ocean World, she's so cute!]
Everyone discussed the question of "who is the boss" for a while. At this time, the bodyguard saw that the bird trainers couldn't handle the birds and affected the order of the venue, so he ordered them to leave: "Sir, please leave for a while."
The bird trainers were flustered because they had done something wrong.
Looking at the whole H Province, Baisha Harbor had the best working environment and the highest salary. If they lost this job, they didn't know where to find the next one.
They subconsciously looked at Qi Xingchen, trying to figure out what their boss meant before they left.
They might not be able to see it clearly through the screen, but the people in the venue had already seen most of it. They quickly turned the camera back to Qi Xingchen.
Qi Xingchen knew that he wouldn't be able to hide it any longer as he looked into the eyes of the crowd.
He took a deep breath and said into the microphone, "I'm sorry, my colleagues. I'm not good at managing my employees and affecting your work.
Security, please help me send them out first. "
The bullet screen suddenly exploded, and the screen was filled with two big words:
The parrots were dragged out by their owners. They felt that they had been greatly wronged. Their pitiful chirps echoed in the corridor.
Amidst the chaos, the reporters seized the opportunity to post the "parrot calling its boss" incident on Weibo, along with the pictures of the bird trainer and Qi Xingchen.
He was in a hurry and didn't handle it well enough.
However, the matter itself was interesting enough.
It had been less than ten days since the fight between Qi and Xu, and the heat of the incident had not completely cooled down. As long as these two people were in the same frame, there would naturally be a chemical reaction.
Today, some of the media came because of their conflict. They asked all kinds of tricky questions from different angles, waiting for the right words to be used.
This time, they didn't have to work hard to find out. Xu Sheng slapped his own face.
After posting the Weibo post, the media quickly turned the camera to Xu Sheng. Xu Sheng still hadn't recovered from the shock.
Doubt, surprise, unwillingness, fear, and his face was pale and his expression was distorted.
Because he was too angry, he kept clenching his teeth, and his chin was tightly clenched. The sharp tip of his chin, which was sculpted by the silicone prosthesis, was shining brightly in front of the camera.
Xu Sheng's agent was also in the audience. He was so anxious that he kept signaling Xu Sheng not to panic and to control his expression.
Xu Sheng finally realized what was going on and used his insignificant professionalism to adjust his expression.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The frozen camera wouldn't lie, and the real-time images in the live-stream wouldn't give him a chance to regret it.
The media, who were fighting for news and exposure, didn't want to waste a second. They quickly posted Xu Sheng's photos online.
This time, it wasn't just the bullet screen, but also Weibo!
Is there something wrong with my eyes? Xing Xing is the boss of Baisha Harbor?!
Isn't he from a working family?]
[Hahahaha, Qi Xingchen from a working family, Qi Xingchen from an ordinary background, Qi Xingchen who doesn't know how to be a big shot, Qi Xingchen who's meticulous and calculative. So he's a hidden rich man!]
[I was bragging a few days ago that he was the Mermaid Prince. How is he a prince? He's a king of the sea.
A real king of the sea, the kind that owns the sea.]
[Haha, what's there to be happy about? This person is obviously trying to create a grassroots image and accidentally got himself into trouble.
Isn't it better to be a tall, rich, and handsome guy in the entertainment industry … Oh, sorry, it's not good. There aren't any tall, rich, and handsome guys coming out to do acrobatics.
[Yo, there seems to be a stinky fan with unknown attributes. Who's the streamer of RWKK's little bitch?]
[Don't look, this is a side account. I checked the IP and found the main account. It's an idiot sent by the opponent.]
Currently, Qi Xingchen's only opponent was Xu Sheng. The manager of the Galaxy Fan Club roared in the fan group.
The opponent's fans are already riding on our heads. How can we let them succeed?
Xing Guang fans immediately arrived at the battlefield!!
[The disgusting incident of your brother buying marketing materials to splash dirty water hasn't even passed, and you're already barking. Vomit?
[Hehehe, take a whiff of that sour tone.
I just said my idol was looking for a sugar daddy, and now I'm getting slapped in the face. Does it hurt? I'm asking you, does it hurt?]
[Replying to the sisters above, it might not hurt that much because Xu Sheng has a lot of padding on his face and his facial nerves aren't very developed. (Manual Dog Head)]
[Reminder to all Xing Guang sisters. Watch your words and stay polite. Don't affect other people's perception of Xing Guang and Xing Xing.]
Qi Xingchen had an amiable appearance, didn't cause trouble, and had been stamped as a positive energy by the Communist Youth League.
After the reminder from the other Xing Guang sisters, the battle fans all turned into obedient children. [Then let's unify the format. Let's post "Xu Sheng got slapped in the face the fastest in history. It took less than five minutes."]
Thus, under the Weibo posts of various media outlets, as well as the live streaming platforms that had yet to close their channels, this rumor spread …
[Xu Sheng got slapped in the face the fastest in history. It took less than five minutes!]
At three o 'clock in the afternoon, the group interview barely came to an end. The media came empty-handed and returned with a full load, chatting and laughing.
It was completely different from the tense atmosphere of the crew.
Director Shang reluctantly smiled and sent off the media with Feng Qingyuan and Tao Tao. He couldn't wait to return to his lounge and directly ordered, "Xu Sheng, Qi Xingchen, stay. Everyone else, go back to the aquarium."
Tao Tao winked at Qi Xingchen and left with the rest of the team.
The door of the Bird Park performance field closed.
Shang Yuliang kicked the chair over!
"Before the group interview, I told you not to argue with each other. What were you thinking?
How much hatred and resentment do you have to make a fool of yourself in front of so many media outlets?! "
Shang Yuliang's face was red with anger. He pointed at Xu Sheng and said, "Come on, tell me what you think first!"
While Shang Yuliang was sending people off, Xu Sheng took the time to glance at Weibo.
Xing Guang's unified format was very magical. Many onlookers also joined them and posted "Xu Sheng got slapped in the face the fastest" on Weibo and the bullet screen.
There were even anti-fans who came to his homepage.
Seeing the neat and eye-catching lines of words, he was overwhelmed by shame and humiliation.
He clenched his fists and those words kept flashing in his mind. He couldn't listen to Shang Yuliang's words at all.
Seeing him like this, Shang Yuliang was even angrier.
But he was a director, and this level of scolding was already the limit. He was in no position to say more.
He pointed at Qi Xingchen again. "Where did those parrots come from? Explain to me clearly!"
After all, this matter had nothing to do with Qi Xingchen. If only the parrots came to the boss in the middle of the group interview, it would have had a positive publicity effect. Shang Yuliang would have to thank Qi Xingchen.
As a result, Xu Sheng got involved and the scandal of the second male lead in "Heart of the Ocean" fermented, the positive publicity directly fell into negative publicity.
Shang Yuliang knew that he was angry at Qi Xingchen, so his tone was not so harsh.
Qi Xingchen also knew that he was angry. Even if he was angry, he explained nicely. "Baisha Harbor Ocean World is indeed mine. I was afraid that it would affect the filming, so I didn't tell the staff that I was here.
As for the bird trainers and the parrots, I really don't know why they came. "
Shang Yuliang was speechless.
Shang Yuliang took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down. He lit a cigarette. "I can't be angry with you. Sooner or later, I'll die of anger.
Now I'm giving you an ultimatum. From today onwards, don't create any more scandals. Otherwise, I'll discuss with the investors. I'd rather lose money and find actors to reshoot than hire you. Do you understand?! "
Qi Xingchen didn't answer. These words weren't meant for him.
Shang Yuliang was worried about Xu Sheng's reputation and conveniently mentioned him.
Sure enough, Director Shang repeated, "Do you understand, Xu Sheng?!"
The veins on Xu Sheng's forehead bulged. After a long time, he squeezed out a single syllable from his throat. "Yes."
"I'm asking you if you understand!"
"… I understand." Xu Sheng's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"But Little Xu, your image has been greatly reduced …" After a long time, Shang Yuliang said, "Tonight, I'll find the scriptwriter to modify your scenes. Take care."
Any normal person could tell what Shang Yuliang meant by "modifying the scenes".
It meant that Xu Sheng's scenes were going to be cut.
Xu Sheng gritted his teeth so hard that they creaked.
But Shang Yuliang had already started a discussion with the chief scriptwriter over the phone. He didn't give him a chance to defend himself.
Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Xu Sheng left alone.
Qi Xingchen still had two more scenes in the afternoon. He waited for Shang Yuliang to finish his call before walking to Baijing Hall together.
Shang Yuliang said as he walked, "I'll give you some extra scenes as appropriate. The rest will be split between the male and female leads.
You'll have to rush your scenes. You can't be as relaxed as you expected. Maintain your condition. If there's anything you don't know, look for me or Qingyuan. "
"Okay, thank you, Director Shang." Qi Xingchen thought for a moment. "I'm also part of the reason this time. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."
"You don't blame me for deliberately hiding it?"
Director Shang smiled casually. "You're an actor and I'm the director. As long as you act well, complete your tasks on time, and don't cause trouble, everything else has nothing to do with me."
"Also, Xiao Bai told me that you have a good character.
He's a good kid. I believe you're a good kid too. "
Bai Ye told Director Shang that he had a good character …
So Bai Ye had been protecting him behind his back. Qi Xingchen couldn't help but smile when he heard that.
Then, he realized that Bai Ye must trust him a lot if he dared to praise him to others.
But he didn't even dare to tell Bai Ye his identity.
… Why did the author of "Peaches of the Night" set the male lead so well?
So well that he wanted to stop time and maintain a friendly relationship with Bai Ye.
So well that … he didn't want to think about the next plot.
Unfortunately, things in the world were beyond one's control, not to mention that he was living in a book written by someone else. He was under the control of others and was at risk of dying at any time.
If he was destined to be on the opposite side of Bai Ye in the future, he wanted to cherish this friendship while their relationship was still good.
Qi Xingchen suppressed the sour feeling in his nose, took out his phone and walked to the side to call Bai Ye. "Hello."
"Mm." Bai Ye's voice was a little loud. He was probably at the seaside. "Why did you call me?"
"I'm here to turn myself in."
Bai Ye signaled for the cameraman to stop. "What case?"
"White Sand Harbor Ocean World is mine."
This sentence was not an ordinary embarrassing sentence. Qi Xingchen paused. "I haven't told you. I'm sorry."
Bai Ye didn't know why he said this, so he didn't answer immediately.
At this time, the cameraman who stopped to rest opened Weibo. Bai Ye's sharp eyes saw the two hashtags # Qi Xingchen, the man who owns the sea # and # Xu Sheng's fastest face slapping in history #.
It should be newly created, and the discussion rate was rising rapidly.
Bai Ye glanced at it and quickly figured out the little fan's purpose.
"Mm, I saw it," Bai Ye said. "It's okay. You must have your own reasons for not telling me. I respect your decision."
"… Really?" Qi Xingchen was not sure.
"Really. When have I ever lied to you?"
Hearing this, the other end of the phone fell silent.
Bai Ye didn't want to let him continue to be confused, so he changed the topic. "Is your Ocean World fun? I haven't been there."
"It's fun!" Qi Xingchen made up for it. "When you have time, I'll take you to play!"
"Okay … What about the others? Who else knows?"
Bai Ye was referring to Feng Qingyuan and the others. They could choose to play together one day after the shoot, and he would also treat the crew to a meal to remember the little fan's favor.
"No," Qi Xingchen said. "I took the initiative to tell. Other than Director Shang, only you know."
So, it wasn't that the other party didn't tell him, but that he didn't tell anyone.
After his identity was exposed, the first thing that the other party thought of was to rush to him and apologize.
… How afraid was he of getting angry?
The tip of Bai Ye's heart felt like it was being gently pricked by a needle. It hurt and itched. Bai Ye's tone softened. "Okay, I'll finish filming in two days.
If you finish early one night, I'll come and take a good look at you. "
Xu Sheng and the others' scenes were changed, but the producers were rushing for the winter break, so they couldn't delay the submission of the film.
Director Shang and the chief editor stayed up all night to grind out the rough new plot.
Qi Xingchen had an extra three days of scenes, and these extra three days had to be completed before the original deadline. Time was tight and the task was important.
He looked at the incomplete script and felt his scalp go numb.
He wasn't a gifted person, and he didn't have much experience.
The scenes that he finished filming some time ago were all done by him staying up late at night to practice. Now, he obviously didn't have that much time.
He could only use all the time he had to read the script like Bai Ye said.
In the morning, he stepped into Baijing Hall with his lines —
"Yo yo yo yo yo!" All the crew members put down their work. "Boss Xing Xing is here!"
"… What Boss Xing Xing?" Qi Xingchen's face was hot. "It sounds like a gorilla. You guys should just call me Xing Xing."
"That's right, it doesn't sound nice. How about Boss Qi? It sounds better. How about that?!" The crew members laughed.
"Shoo shoo shoo, don't joke with me. I'll treat you guys to tea in the afternoon, okay?"
The crew members were already familiar with him and pretended to be reluctant. "Then we can only choose to accept, hahahaha!"
The crew's work was complicated and heavy. Finding something new in the midst of work was enough to make them happy for a while.
The crew members were quite happy, but the cameraman, scriptwriter, and lighting crew weren't happy at all.
Just a big change in one scene required a redesign of the storyboard and lighting, not to mention so many scenes.
These people barely slept last night, and they probably wouldn't be able to sleep well for a while. Their faces were as black as the bottom of a pot, and they were full of resentment.
Not long after, all the actors for the day arrived.
The first scene was a scene between Xu Sheng and Tao Tao. Part of the emotional arc was cut, and it was a new plot.
The cameraman was a tough man who couldn't hide his thoughts. Looking at the storyboard newly given to him by Director Shang, his eyes changed the position of the camera according to the storyboard diagram, and he shouted to the cameraman next to him, "Qiang Zi, do you remember that Xing Xing made several NGs in the first scene of feeding the seals? Then someone said to let Xing Xing waste less fish."
The cameraman pinched his throat and imitated, "This aquarium isn't owned by your family!"
He imitated it so well that Qiang Zi held back his laughter. "I remember."
"In the end —" The cameraman emphasized, "The aquarium is really owned by Xing Xing. Don't you think it's funny?"
"Hahahahaha, funny, funny!"
Xu Sheng's face was tight and he almost tore the new script in his hand.
Qi Xingchen kept his head down. He heard it, but he had to pretend not to hear it to give Xu Sheng the last dignity.
An Ran was like him, playing with her phone with her back to Xu Sheng, but in fact, she was listening to the joke.
After listening to a paragraph, she covered her mouth and turned her attention back to the phone.
"Don't laugh out loud." Qi Xingchen warned in a low voice.
Qi Xingchen saw her asking several questions in a row and asked curiously, "What happened? Did the media take my interview out of context yesterday?"
An Ran shook her head and frowned.
"Xing Xing …" An Ran turned to him and hesitated for a few seconds. "Bai Ye's scandal was exposed and made the headlines."
