Huayu 97: The Beginning of a Marriage Fraudulently

"Oh, no problem, your Zhang Ziyi doesn't need to come to the later rehearsals."

Just as Lao Fang was about to notify Zhang Ziyi's team, he received a call from the other end.

"Ah, thank you, Director Fang, thank you, Director Fang. Once the Spring Festival Gala is over, Ziyi will treat Director Fang to dinner."

Hearing the voice on the phone, Lao Fang looked completely bewildered. Thank him?

But it soon became clear that the other party had misunderstood.

Rubbing his temples, Lao Fang could only speak plainly, "Didn't you understand? Zhang Ziyi's solo performance at the Spring Festival Gala has been cut!"

"It's been taken down?!"

The sudden increase in volume made Lao Fang quickly move his phone away.

"What happened? What was taken down?"

Zhang Ziyi, who was resting on the other side, also opened her eyes and looked at her agent, Sister Liu.

"Ziyi, Director Fang just said your program has been taken down."

"My show has been taken down?!"

Zhang Ziyi's eyes widened, looking incredulous.

"Ziyi, don't worry..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Ziyi snatched the phone away.

"Director Fang, could you please tell me why? It's already this late, why are you ending my program?"

Zhang Ziyi asked the questions as gently as possible.

"Teacher Zhang, the review process for Spring Festival Gala programs is very strict. It's not uncommon for programs to be replaced a second before going on stage, so please understand."

There's no need for Lao Fang, an assistant director, to offend Zhang Ziyi so badly.

After all, she's an international star.

"Then I'll have to trouble Director Fang."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ziyi's face was already dark.

"Go check if anything unusual happened at the CCTV studio today!"

Zhang Ziyi said in a deep voice.

"Ziyi, are you saying your show got taken over by someone else? How is that possible? Who could take over your show!"

The agent, Sister Liu, looked shocked.

"That's what Director Fang meant, you should go and investigate!"

Zhang Ziyi waved her hand in annoyance.

They complained about participating in the Spring Festival Gala, saying it didn't pay them and was too much trouble.

If I were to be removed from the Spring Festival Gala, I wouldn't be able to save face.

After all, many people in the industry know that she is going to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.

If they found out that my Spring Festival Gala performance was canceled, I know they would laugh at me behind my back.

The agent, Sister Liu, agreed and hurriedly went to investigate.

"Sister Ziyi, what about this advertisement..."

Zhang Ziyi's assistant didn't dare to breathe.

"Go tell the director that something urgent has come up and we can't film today!"

Zhang Ziyi was no longer in the mood to film the advertisement and walked out of the dressing room with a dark face.

He got into the van with the help of bodyguards.

Not long after, the agent, Sister Liu, and her assistant returned.

Zhang Ziyi looked at Sister Liu without saying a word, and a tense atmosphere filled the car.

"Today, Master Han took Liu Yifei to the Spring Festival Gala studio. Liu Yifei even performed a sword dance, and the studio erupted in thunderous applause..."

Zhang Ziyi's brows furrowed even deeper.

If it were anyone else, Zhang Ziyi really wouldn't be able to swallow this insult.

However, if this person is Liu Yifei, Zhang Ziyi can only suppress her resentment for the time being.

Her international acclaim is not as prestigious as Liu Yifei's!

"I also heard a rumor that Liu Yifei's sword dance was a program designated by higher-ups, otherwise they wouldn't have changed the program at this time..." Sister Liu has some connections; she even managed to find out that Liu Yifei's sword dance was designated by higher-ups.

"But what gives them the right to ditch Sister Yi's show?"

The assistant stood by, indignant and indignant.

Sister Liu's mouth twitched awkwardly.

why?
Don't you know what kind of person your own money tree is?

They were just talking to the Spring Festival Gala production team about whether they could skip the rehearsal!

It's not hard to understand why someone who is clearly incompetent and doesn't take their job seriously would be dismissed.

However, Sister Liu would naturally not say such things in front of Zhang Ziyi.

"Who can argue with that! But Ziyi, don't worry about it. It's their loss if they don't choose you..."

"Stop with this useless talk, let's think about how to mitigate the impact!"

Zhang Ziyi looked annoyed.

"I'll talk to Director Fang again later, and then we'll issue an announcement saying that you're withdrawing from the Spring Festival Gala due to illness..."

Zhang Ziyi nodded upon hearing this.

Sister Liu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly made the contact.

"Ziyi, the Spring Festival Gala production team has agreed that we can clarify things ourselves and they will keep it a secret for us."

Zhang Ziyi let out a sneer, "Hmph, I thank them, huh!"

Sister Liu didn't dare to respond and kept her head down writing the copy.

"Let's go, to the hospital!"

Zhang Ziyi waved her hand angrily, then leaned back in her chair, looking somewhat weak, and closed her eyes to rest.

Soon, the news that Zhang Ziyi had withdrawn from the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals due to illness spread.

Zhang Ziyi also went to a private hospital to complete the admission procedures, going all out with her act!
After photos of Zhang Ziyi at the hospital were "secretly taken" and circulated.

The evidence that Zhang Ziyi withdrew from the Spring Festival Gala due to illness is now irrefutable.

Many of Zhang Ziyi's fans have been urging her online to take care of her health.

Chen Siyuan naturally saw this news as well.

"So Sisi is taking over Zhang Ziyi's show?"

Chen Siyuan turned to ask Li Xiaoran.

Li Xiaoran nodded. "It was Zhang Ziyi's solo performance that was replaced. It's said that Zhang Ziyi was not serious during rehearsals and kept asking for leave, which angered director Chen Linchun of the production team."

Chen Siyuan nodded. Zhang Ziyi's solo performance was "reputed" to be the worst program of the Spring Festival Gala in the original timeline. Liu Yifei replacing her can be considered as saving the audience's ears.

"Tell Klein to keep a close eye on her. Women are all petty. Be careful she doesn't take her anger out on Sissi and resort to some underhanded tricks."

Li Xiaoran rolled her eyes at Chen Siyuan, thinking that this one blow had wiped out an entire group of people!
“I will talk to Klein.”

"Boss, Sisi doesn't have any major schedules before the New Year. I suggest that Sisi participate in more Spring Festival Gala rehearsals."

Li Xiaoran then offered her suggestions.

Li Xiaoran also saw through the intricacies of the situation very clearly.

Although Han Shanping applied for special privileges for Liu Yifei, it's best not to use them.

A show that's suddenly added to the lineup still needs to gain more recognition.

Chen Siyuan also looked at Li Xiaoran with satisfaction; Li Xiaoran was becoming more and more presentable.

Just then, Liu Yifei also rushed in.

"Dad, did I take over Zhang Ziyi's show?"

Liu Yifei found it hard to believe.

My Father and Mother, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, House of Flying Daggers, Jasmine Women, 2046, Memoirs of a Geisha...

Zhang Ziyi's life has been extraordinary, starting with her role as a "Mou Girl" and garnering numerous awards.

Who would have thought that her show would be replaced by Liu Yifei!
All I can say is that the Spring Festival Gala directing team is incredibly talented!
Chen Siyuan smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about it. It's the Spring Festival Gala's director team's job to decide whose program to remove. We just need to do our own thing!"
