Chapter 394

On the day Lian Xun was discharged from the hospital, Huang Kai appeared at the hospital to pick him up.

Many fans were blocked at the hospital entrance. After Huang Kai accompanied Lian Xun out, they bowed in unison and shouted "Kai, I'm sorry."

This scene was puzzling.

How should I say it?

Using an inappropriate way to express it, it's like the scene where those who mix in the road see their big brother appear.

Huang Kai felt full of discomfort in his heart.

Huang Kai glanced at Lian Xun.

Lian Xun also didn't expect such a battle waiting for him.

The two were stunned, and didn't react for a long time.

But the faces of both had the same blackness.

Having mixed in the entertainment industry for so many years, they basically have a prediction about what kind of influence and consequences a thing will have.

Sure enough, they didn't wait until the next day, and this matter had already fermented.

Fans apologize to stars in unison, how sad!

Someone wrote a commentary article.

"No matter what, the original intention of these fans was for Huang Kai's good. As a result, because Huang Kai never stood up to respond from beginning to end, the fans' emotions became bigger and bigger, causing a consequence that no one wanted to see. Does Huang Kai, who has always been silent, have no responsibility? Why did this matter become fans apologizing to Huang Kai?"

"If it was apologizing to Lian Xun, it would be understandable, but they apologized to Huang Kai. I don't understand this world, and I don't understand it."

This article basically represents a basic attitude of the public towards this matter.

Even Lu Yan He saw the video of fans bowing and apologizing to Huang Kai in unison on the internet, and felt uncomfortable.

He certainly knew that this was definitely not arranged by Huang Kai, nor was it something Huang Kai wanted to see. If it were, his face in the video wouldn't be so ugly. Even, any rational person wouldn't feel comfortable with this kind of scene at this time.

However, people just have no way to look at everything objectively and rationally.

Even the relationship between Lu Yan He and Huang Kai realized after seeing this matter—

Huang Kai is estimated to suffer a wave of public opinion attacks and condemnation.

At this time, Xin Zixing called Lu Yan He.

"Yan He, I want to ask you for a favor."

Lu Yan He intuitively felt that this favor should be related to Huang Kai.

Seeing that Huang Kai was about to fall into trouble again, Xin Zixing would definitely not sit idly by.

"Sister Zixing, tell me, what can I do."

Xin Zixing said: "I want to ask Li Bi to follow and film Huang Kai for three days."

Lu Yan He was stunned: "Ah?"

"Li Bi is a video blogger you signed, specializing in short video Q&A for celebrity artists, right?" Xin Zixing said. "Kai is now involved in these troubles. You know, that is not his intention at all, and he doesn't hope to be apologized by these fans in this way. I need a media that can be trusted to do a comprehensive interview with Huang Kai, and can also take this opportunity to respond to this matter. I want to calm this matter down as soon as possible."

Lu Yan He thought, if Xin Zixing wasn't just about to leave Ye Mai Network at this time, she wouldn't need to come to him for help.

"Okay, Sister Zixing, wait for me for a while, I will reply to you in a while."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yan He immediately called Chen Siqi.

"Can we do this favor?"

"Of course," Chen Siqi said decisively. "This is a matter worth following. If Huang Kai is willing to give us the opportunity to contact him at this time, this is also a huge opportunity for Li Bi."

Artists need channels for others to truly understand, and media need reporters who truly have value.

At this moment, Huang Kai and Li Bi are in a relationship of taking what they need.

Chen Siqi said: "I will let Zhou Mukai and Linyu follow, they write character reports very well, see if they can use this as a theme and write a few articles."

Lu Yan He said okay.

He called Xin Zixing back and talked about what they planned to do on their side.

Xin Zixing: "Okay, thank you, Yan He, I won't tell you anything else now, let's talk later."

"Sister Zixing, you go ahead."

"Let Li Bi come to follow and film him at this time?" Lian Xun stared at Xin Zixing incredulously. "Are you crazy? Now I can't wait to let his heat drop a little, you are good, still thinking about pushing him into the fire."

Xin Zixing came to Lian Xun's apartment to find him ten minutes ago.

For this uninvited guest, Lian Xun was also surprised. Xin Zixing even felt at one moment that Lian Xun was not very willing to invite her in.

Of course, in the end, Lian Xun invited her in, sat on the sofa, and politely poured her a cup of tea.

Xin Zixing told Lian Xun her thoughts.

Lian Xun exploded, completely disagreeing with this approach.

Lian Xun said: "You are trying to destroy Huang Kai's career directly. So many people on the internet are scolding him, and you are still thinking about doing this kind of follow-up filming for him."

Xin Zixing: "It is precisely because many people have misunderstandings about Huang Kai that this situation is happening now. Lian Xun, what kind of person Huang Kai is, why he wants to take 'Rouge', you are very clear. To be fair, if you let everyone know what he is thinking and know what he is pursuing, can you give everyone a little more understanding and a little less misunderstanding?"

Lian Xun: "This is impossible at all. You overestimate the degree of tolerance of this public opinion era. You actually hope that everyone will understand him a little more, and there will be less attack? You haven't been an artist agent at all, you don't know how malicious this public opinion era is to an artist. Everyone holds a magnifying glass to examine the problems and shortcomings of the artist. You want to explain, okay, your explanation will become a new handle for them to attack you."

"I haven't been an artist agent, but my work has a lot of dealings with the entertainment industry," Xin Zixing said. "Lian Xun, I know what I am doing. Huang Kai is my boyfriend. I know what is good for him. If we continue to be silent, this matter will become an eternal stain on Huang Kai."

Lian Xun said: "If you know what is good for him, why did you force him to make your relationship public? Is he not good enough to you, or not loyal enough to you? Do you have to be happy only when you fall in love in broad daylight?"

"Then after the two of us made it public, did his career really suffer?" Xin Zixing asked back immediately.

Lian Xun fell silent.

This point is indeed different from what they estimated. After Huang Kai and Xin Zixing made their relationship public, except for some dissatisfaction and venting expected by fans, to some extent, even most people are very optimistic about the relationship between this pair of lovers.

Xin Zixing said: "I ask you, if you think this is not feasible, what do you plan to do?"

Lian Xun still didn't speak.

Because he really didn't think clearly about what he could do.

Seeing this, Xin Zixing also guessed it, smiled, and said: "Lian Xun, you are the agent who has brought Huang Kai since his debut. He trusts you very much, and his feelings are also very deep. Even in the matter of 'Rouge' this time, you disagree with him, and even obstructed him several times from acting in this movie, he only has anger towards you, feeling that you don't understand him, but there is no other opinion. Two days ago, I met Zhou Shuchun, and he said some quite pointed words. These words I am just pondering, but haven't told Huang Kai yet. Do you hope I tell him?"

Lian Xun's face changed, and he looked at Xin Zixing with a frown, asking: "What do you mean?"

"Nothing," Xin Zixing said. "I understand that you have been very wary of me since Huang Kai and I made it public, and you have a grudge in your heart, but I think you should feel lucky that it is me standing by Huang Kai's side, not a woman who doesn't know the pros and cons. I believe your behavior towards Huang Kai is sincerely for his good, but sincerity doesn't mean it must be good intentions. You must be clear about this point. We can continue to be against each other, it doesn't matter, anyway, you don't live with me, and I don't live with you, but if Huang Kai cannot retreat from this matter and cannot solve these troubles, your days are not good, and my days are not good. We all hope Huang Kai is good, I think at least we have such a common understanding."

Lian Xun looked at Xin Zixing at a loss, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

He didn't even dare to think that Xin Zixing would say such words to him.

The two finally reached a certain consensus at this time.

Lian Xun sent Xin Zixing away.

At the door, Lian Xun couldn't help but ask: "What did Zhou Shuchun tell you?"

"Zhou Shuchun?" Xin Zixing smiled slightly and said: "You know, it's just those ambiguous words."

Lian Xun looked at her with a frown.

Xin Zixing: "I'm leaving, bye."

Xin Zixing didn't meet Zhou Shuchun at all, let alone what Zhou Shuchun told her.

It's not like that at all.

She was just bluffing him.

He didn't even dare to imagine that Xin Zixing would actually say such things to him.

The two of them finally reached a certain consensus at this moment.

Lian Xun saw Xin Zixing off.

At the doorway, Lian Xun couldn't hold back and asked, "What exactly did Zhou Shuchun say to you?"

"Zhou Shuchun?" Xin Zixing smiled slightly and said, "You know, just those ambiguous words, that's all."

Lian Xun frowned as he looked at her.

Xin Zixing: "I'm leaving, bye."

Xin Zixing hadn't met with Zhou Shuchun at all, let alone heard anything from him.

That wasn't the case at all.

She was just bluffing him.

Why did Zhou Shuchun know so much? He knew too much about the content of Huang Kai's choices; clearly, someone was feeding him information.

Xin Zixing only had this suspicion.

She hadn't expected that it would be so easy to bluff it out of him.

It really was Lian Xun.

Huang Kai had told her long ago that Lian Xun was very unsupportive of him acting in the film "Rouge".

And the effect created by Zhou Shuchun writing this report was that fans strongly demanded Huang Kai reject this role—which was precisely Lian Xun's goal.

This matter certainly had to be told to Huang Kai, but before that, the most urgent task was to calm the storm caused by this incident.

"In this matter, the person who must feel the most distressed is definitely Huang Kai."

What Lu Yan He didn't expect was that, despite it being a follow-up video for Huang Kai, Li Bi came to film Lu Yan He first.

He wanted Lu Yan He to talk about his views on this matter.

Lu Yan He thought for a moment, knowing that he certainly couldn't start by speaking up for Huang Kai and standing from his perspective to criticize the fans; that would only lead to a very bad result.

But he also had to say what he truly wanted to say, otherwise, there would be no point in him appearing on camera to say such things.

He sat in front of the lens, pondered for a long time, and then began to speak.

"As artists, everything we obtain and possess actually relies on fans being willing to support us; that is the premise." Lu Yan He said in a calm tone, one that had been thought over for a long time, "We all hope that everything we do can live up to the love our fans have for us; that is our original intention."

"However, it is very clear, just like this incident, that there might be conflicts between the two, and because of these conflicts, things evolve that are completely beyond our control." Lu Yan He spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, "If I encountered so many fans suddenly bowing and apologizing to me, my first reaction would definitely not be that I had vented my anger—Brother Huang certainly wouldn't either. We actually don't need fans to apologize; on the contrary, we need to thank them. Facing such a scene, one would only feel apprehensive, or even uneasy. Facing the fans' misunderstanding, our mindset is actually more about holding our breath and doing a good job to prove to the fans that we aren't making a decision blindly, nor are we making a joke of our own careers."

"I am particularly afraid of situations where people around me are hurt by my fans because of my affairs." Lu Yan He said, "I can understand that sometimes emotions run high and one cannot control oneself, but please, do not become such a person, do not become an executioner. Both I and Brother Huang are working hard to become better because so many people like us; how could we hope that those who like us would suddenly turn into a worse version of themselves because they like us?"

"This is a dilemma. If I encountered a situation like Brother Huang's, I don't know what I would do; it is very difficult to deal with." Lu Yan He sighed, "But I hope my fans will never try to sway or control me. I thought for a long time about whether to say this, but I said it anyway. To be honest, no one is a marionette; we are all adults. We make decisions, and naturally, we will pay for our own decisions. The only people who truly know the full picture are the parties involved themselves; everyone else can only see the small part they are able to see. For Brother Huang, it is the same. We cannot always play it safe. We choose to be actors precisely because the world of performance is rich and colorful enough, which is why we can find different roles. This might be risky, but it is our choice."
