Chapter 69: Liu Yifei's Fan-Loss Storm

Chen Bicheng's face stiffened, and he said: "Why are you bringing this up again? We've been friends for so many years, her husband had an accident, and now she's just a widow with an orphan, and they can't afford a private school, so she wants to transfer, but the kid's grades aren't good either, so she asked me what to do, and I just taught them. Is there any problem?"

Pan Chengrong said: "I say one thing to you, you top me with ten, are you feeling guilty?"

Chen Bicheng said speechlessly: "Where am I feeling guilty? Am I not explaining it to you?"

Pan Chengrong chuckled: "If you weren't feeling guilty, would you need to explain?"

Chen Bicheng said: "Then I won't say anything, I'll shut up, okay?"

Pan Chengrong sneered: "You don't even dare to speak, it seems you are very guilty."

Chen Bicheng felt he couldn't go on in this dead loop and asked Chen Nuo: "Chen Nuo, you say it yourself, am I right or is your mother right?"

Chen Nuo said: "Of course my mother."

"You turtle son," Chen Bicheng cursed.

Pan Chengrong sneered: "You are scolding yourself."

In this month or so, Chen Nuo had been shooting in Jiuzhaigou. Although tourists often came to take photos with him, they all called him "Yang Guo, Yang Guo," and no one called his real name at all. Moreover, ever since the crew helped him pay 200 yuan to compensate for that auntie's down jacket, he hadn't signed his name for anyone again.

So, this morning, when five or six of his fans were waiting for him at the entrance of the Qiyun Hotel, he was surprised.

When Qi Yuntian asked him if he wanted to go down and see them, Chen Nuo refused.

He remembered very clearly how he died in his previous life.

That's right, he wanted to be an actor to make money, but at the same time, he didn't want to have any fans. In his opinion, fan circles and such were really not to be messed with.

He knew this was contradictory. And he had no way to resolve the contradiction.

So he chose to drag it out.

If I can't afford to offend, I can afford to hide.

He let Qi Yuntian go to the hotel entrance to say something, while he went to the hotel's underground garage, got into Chen Bicheng's car, and left.

As an agent, Qi Yuntian actually had no opinion on this, and instead said it quite simply, meaning that he didn't rely on these fans to eat, so if he was happy, he would be nice to them, and if he wasn't happy, he would treat them as if they didn't exist; it was no big deal.

So the two of them lightly determined the basic attitude toward the fan group in the future.

Otherwise, what else could they do?

Chen Nuo had no relevant experienced friends to ask either.

If he really had to say, there was only Liu Yifei. But what was his relationship with Liu Yifei? At best, colleagues.

Talking deeply when the acquaintance is shallow, Chen Nuo thought it was better to forget it.

When Chen Nuo wanted to ask Liu Yifei how to treat fans, he didn't know that just twenty-something days later, the new Little Dragon Maiden, Liu Yifei, would fall into a huge storm, with countless fans losing their fandom and turning into haters.

On May 28, 2005, Liu Yifei was wearing a white casual outfit, with the standard celebrity three-piece set on her face—a duck-billed cap, sunglasses, and a mask—and led by Liu Nushi and her agent, Mr. Chen, she rushed out of a hotel and quickly transferred into a nanny van. She had just finished a press conference, determined to fight to the end against those who were spreading rumors and slandering her.

But as soon as they went out, although the reporters' questions were somewhat restrained, they were hidden with mystery and full of malice.

"Liu Yifei, can you answer why Director Zhang Jizhong attended your coming-of-age ceremony?"

"Everyone says there's an inside story to your signing ceremony with Sony this time; is it true?"

"Sony invited so many big names for you; is there any other reason?"

"Liu Nushi Yifei, do you think your singing level can be compared to a professional singer?"

"Liu Yifei, how is your relationship with your stepfather?"

Through the car window, Liu Yifei saw those twisted faces and heard them knocking on the car window, asking those ill-intentioned questions, and her mood was worse than anything.

"Drive, drive quickly!" Chen Jinfei said loudly to the driver, "Rush out, don't be afraid, I'll take responsibility if you hit someone!"

After the nanny van started and rushed forward regardless, the swarm-like reporters finally dispersed. The nanny van drove onto the road in a puff of smoke, and everyone in the car breathed a sigh of relief together.

"Xixi, don't worry, I'll give it some time to find out who is behind this messing with us, and I will definitely find out," Chen Jinfei said through gritted teeth. "These shameless villains, when the time comes, I will definitely settle the score with them properly; do they really think we are made of mud?"

Liu Nushi also said on the side: "Right, we must investigate, investigate until the truth is out. These people are too disgusting and despicable. Those rumors are simply filthy to the extreme; it's obvious they are jealous of our Xixi and want to splash dirty water on us."

Chen Jinfei said: "I actually have a number in my heart about who is behind this matter. It's a group of villains whose own artists aren't up to standard, but they think it's Xixi who snatched their family's artist's opportunity. As long as we find evidence, we will definitely fight the lawsuit to the end with them!"

Liu Nushi said: "As soon as possible, our Xixi is about to enter the music scene. Making trouble at this juncture is obviously not wanting our Xixi to succeed in crossing over. We can't let their conspiracy succeed."

Chen Jinfei said: "Right. I am also contacting those gossip magazines now. No matter how much money the other party needs, my attitude is to give it all, as long as they withdraw those rumors."

Liu Nushi and Chen Jinfei's conversation slid past Liu Yifei's ears like water. She seemed to hear nothing, just staring blankly at the street scene outside the window.

Before today, her world was still full of flowers, but after one day, she seemed to see countless poisonous snakes surrounding her, spitting venom, opening their mouths to bite.

Why did it become like this?

After the record company held a signing ceremony for her, overnight, countless rumors and gossip all popped up, overwhelming and boiling. Those entertainment reporters were like sharks that smelled blood; no matter where she appeared, they would follow her there. Liu Yifei felt she was about to collapse.

At this moment, it was noon, and the spring sunshine outside the window was so bright. However, through the shading film of the car window, Liu Yifei could only see thick haze covering the world. Buildings and pedestrians flashed past her eyes quickly. She kept her head tilted and didn't move for a long time.

Suddenly, a dark image flashed past her eyes. Liu Yifei turned her head quickly; she seemed to have seen a somewhat familiar name.

Right, this is that film that won an award in Berlin; it seems it is being released during this time. She had even heard that Director Zhang Yi say this on the phone, but there were too many sudden situations in these days, and she had long forgotten it completely.

But now seeing the poster hanging outside the cinema, for no reason, Liu Yifei suddenly wanted to go see it.
