Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 793 I am the real movie star!
Just after ending the call, Fatty rushed over, still holding her phone in her hand.

"Look, look! What are we going to do?!" She seemed very nervous because this wasn't the first time she and Zhou Yang had been exposed.

Zhou Yang appeared quite calm and quickly posted a status update on his phone.

"#Actress Zhou Yang: This set of photos is pretty good, but the last one, the one of me going home, is too blurry! The female lead of our new movie is Dilraba, don't you guys recognize Zhang Jingyi? Okay, I admit it! I took Dilraba home, what's wrong with that? Zhang Jingyi came to my house to pick up Xiaoba, I didn't have time to take care of her when I went to the film set, so I asked her for help! The two photos weren't taken at the same time at all, it's so funny!"

The previously widely publicized voyeurism incident has become even more heated due to Zhou Yang's response.

Everyone thought this was pure nonsense!

"Ha! They dare to put photos like these together?"

"That's hilarious! They're just trying to get attention!"

"I hope these reporters won't be so bored as to deceive the public's emotions!"

"Is Zhou Yang talking nonsense? What he said makes sense. You guys are so boring!"

"If you're so capable, produce evidence. Make sure you take a clearer picture of that last photo!"

"..."

Zhou Yang's explanation, coupled with his confident attitude, had a remarkable effect.

Public opinion was instantly reversed, and netizens flocked to the whistleblower's Weibo account to leave comments in rebuttal.

The young reporter, who thought he had uncovered a major scoop, is now starting to doubt whether the person in the photo is actually Dilraba Dilmurat.

Fat Di gave it a thumbs up after seeing it, saying it was really amazing!

This rambling nonsense didn't reveal any flaws.

In fact, Zhou Yang did indeed take Dilraba home from the airport, and Xiao Ba was indeed left in Zhang Jingyi's care. This response was absolutely brilliant!
But then Fatty Di suddenly remembered: "Wait a minute! You usually fool me and Sister Zu'er like this, right?"

Zhou Yang paused scrolling through Weibo, coughed lightly, and said, "How could that be?! Don't you know who I am?"

Fat Di snorted, but then still took the initiative to give Zhou Yang a hug.

Okay, I'll reluctantly believe you this once!

Zhou Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He did often fool you guys!

Before the controversy had subsided, Zhou Yang called his studio and asked them to release a trailer.

I've seen people leverage trends, but I've never seen someone use their own popularity to their advantage.

The first trailer attracted a lot of attention from netizens as soon as it was released.

The trailer was thrilling, featuring a fight scene in an elevator and a confrontation between an undercover agent and a gangster, accompanied by tense background music, which immediately piqued the interest of netizens.

"That's so cool! It looks amazing!"

"I just love gangster movies!"

"This story feels fresh; it won't stay the same!"

"Looking forward to the movie's release! The cast is amazing!"

"I'm still looking at the photo of Dilraba and Zhou Yang together, hahaha!"

"The bloody scene in the elevator was really exciting! Looking forward to supporting Zhou Yang!"

"..."

Meanwhile, a South Korean gangster film called "The King" has also attracted the attention of netizens, with many comparing its trailer to the currently showing movie.

"This scene looks familiar! Is it on the streets of South Korea?"

"It looks exciting! But won't the plot be too cliché?"

"The recent clash between 'King of Glory' and 'New World' is inevitable!"

"Korean gang films are pretty good! Zhou Yang is in trouble this time!"

"This one was released a long time ago, but 'New World' hasn't been released yet!"

"..." Zhou Yang saw these comments while browsing Weibo. He just chuckled. On the one hand, the incident of Fatty Dilraba and him being photographed caused a lot of discussion. On the other hand, the appearance of another movie of a similar type also created momentum for the upcoming release of "New World".

Two days later, Zhou Yang led Chen Tianke and others to various parts of China to carry out publicity.

They barely stopped, flying to a different city every few days.

When they landed in their third city, Lake Hai, they were greeted by a large number of fans.

To ensure safety, Zhou Yang shouted, "Everyone, slow down! Line up in an orderly fashion! Let's hold the press conference!"

"Yes!" the fans responded in unison, their voices loud and clear.

Chen Tianke was once again amazed by Zhou Yang's popularity, noting that even in second-tier cities, he still had so many fans.

Upon hearing the response, the fans indeed maintained order, demonstrating admirable manners.

The press conference was bustling with activity, with reporters holding cameras filling the front seats.

As Zhou Yang and his team arrived, the fans and reporters at the scene instantly became excited.

"I support Brother Yang's new film!"

"The trailer is so cool! Zhou Yang himself is super tall!"

"Look here! I've liked you ever since the Joker movies!"

"Parker did a great job!"

"I hope Brother Yang doesn't get married, otherwise we female fans will have no chance!"

"..."

After Zhou Yang went on stage, he gestured for everyone to be quiet, and the venue instantly fell silent.

After all, this was a promotional event, and Zhou Yang and his team still had to rush to the next city.

The reporters stood up one after another to ask questions:

"Zhou Yang, what are your thoughts on the similar film 'The King'?"

Zhou Yang took the microphone and smiled slightly, "This is a Korean film, and that is a Chinese film. It's not up to me to judge, but rather to see what you all think."

This answer left the reporters present speechless.

This is undoubtedly an implication that some viewers believe foreign works are superior.

Next, the reporters turned their questions to Chen Tianke, "Director Chen, what's so special about your script that makes it stand out among Zhou Yang's many directing projects?"

Chen Tianke smiled as he took the microphone, shook his head, and said, "Although my script was outstanding, there were still many problems! Under Zhou Yang's guidance, I actually experienced the life of a scavenging club!"

Reporters and fans at the scene were surprised that the director had actually gone to collect trash for a movie.

"I've never heard of a director picking up trash for a movie!"

"This movie is really good! It's full of sincerity!"

"That's an interesting point of view, I'll take note of it!"

"Collecting trash is acceptable? Haha!"

"..."

"Moreover, when I first arrived at the company, the security guard downstairs thought I was a beggar, haha! But Zhou Yang still recognized me!" Chen Tianke continued, sounding very sincere.

The reporters nodded in agreement; they realized there was such a story behind it all.

Many reporters have already prepared their materials, planning to edit and publish them after the press conference.

After the lake and sea leg of the trip, everyone quickly headed to the next city.

Meanwhile, the box office of "The King" continues to rise.

This led theaters to decide to increase the number of screenings for "The King" to 35%, matching the premiere screening rate of "New World".
