I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

"Director Cheng, I wish your company's new film great success."

Liu Dehua walked over, speaking in broken Mandarin.

“Thank you for your kind words, Brother Wah. Filming for ‘Protégé’ is about to begin. Are you going back to Hong Kong Island?” Cheng Sheng said.

Because of the celebrity worship incident, Liu Dehua was forced to come to the mainland to hide and has been living in a house provided by Cheng Sheng.

But Liu Dehua still needs to work; he can't hide forever.

In particular, for the movie "Protégé", Andy Lau, who plays the male lead, will definitely be present at the start of filming.

"Hmm." Liu Dehua nodded.

“There’s been a lot of commotion in Hong Kong lately. I heard that one of your female fans is going to sue you,” Cheng Sheng said.

"Don't worry, my team will handle this. At most, we'll compensate her with some money. Her father's death was also somewhat related to me." Liu Dehua wasn't angry about the fan suing him; instead, he felt sorry for his fan.

"Brother Hua truly deserves to be called a top-notch idol," Cheng Sheng said with a smile.

"I really hope we won't have such crazy fans in the future," Liu Dehua said with a wry smile.

"It's really hard to say about these things. You can't control crazy fans," Cheng Sheng said helplessly.

No matter the world, fanatics are not rational people.

In their pursuit of celebrities, they resort to all sorts of bizarre methods, causing a whole host of troubles.

As an instinctive inner tendency, idol worship is a projection of an individual's psychological desires, ideals, and emotions.

Idols are seen by fans as objects of emotional reflection and spiritual sustenance. However, in the process of following stars, there is a tendency for fans to invest excessive emotions, excessively beautify the image of idols, devote too much time and energy, and even become addicted to virtual reality and detach from real life.

Through the lens of fans, idols present an idealized, perfect image. However, this image is a product created and heavily marketed by management companies for profit, and may not reflect the true nature of the star.

Celebrity teams tailor personalized labels for their idols in order to achieve aesthetic control for profit.

Therefore, to avoid the emergence of fanatical fans, fans need to have a correct understanding of the difference between a celebrity's public persona and their real-life image, accept their idol's shortcomings and imperfections, and rationally accept netizens' criticisms of their idols. Instead of being tamed and blinded by capital and falling into a state of blind admiration, they should not waste too much energy on blindly fighting against negative publicity and irrationally controlling comments.

Of course, celebrities also need to guide their fans correctly and prevent them from doing irrational things in advance.

Therefore, celebrities and idols should not only exploit fans' purchasing power for profit, but also promptly stop and reasonably guide fans when their behavior exceeds the boundaries of law and morality, and promptly persuade them to return to the normal track when their online idol-chasing behavior goes beyond reasonable limits.

Fans' adoration contributes to an idol's high social status and abundant social resources. Idols should also take responsibility and shoulder corresponding social duties, striving to become true positive role models. They should actively express their opinions and establish a positive image in the face of public incidents caused by their fans.

"I will have the team keep an eye on the fan club from now on," Liu Dehua nodded.

"Brother Hua, I haven't thanked you yet for Zhang Jing's matter!" Cheng Sheng said.

"There's no need for that. I just passed on the message; I didn't help. Zhang Jing was chosen as the female lead because of her own efforts," Liu Dehua said, waving his hand.

"Zhang Jing performed very well. Even Director Er praised her for her talent and said she is very suitable for developing in the film industry," Liu Dehua said with a smile.

“My judgment is never wrong; Zhang Jing is a promising talent.”

Liu Dehua originally wanted to chat with Cheng Sheng for a few more minutes, but then he noticed a few people walking over and said with a smile, "Director Cheng, you're quite the ladies' man! We won't bother you any longer."

After saying that, Liu Dehua patted Cheng Sheng on the shoulder and left.

Cheng Sheng was taken aback at first, then he saw several beautiful women walking towards him, and he immediately understood.

"Director Cheng, congratulations on the box office success of your company's new film."

"Hello, Director Cheng..." "Director Cheng, best wishes for your company's film's box office..."

"Director Cheng..."

"Director Cheng..."

Looking at the five stunning beauties standing in front of him, Cheng Sheng felt a little overwhelmed!
Liu Tianxian, Tang Yan, Yang Mi, Liu Sisi, and the great Tang Dynasty poet all came, plus Fan Shuangbing from the "Double Ice" duo.

Surrounded by so many beautiful women, Cheng Sheng could vaguely sense the envious and jealous gazes directed at him.

"Thank you for your kind words."

Cheng Sheng was really struggling to handle the situation. Looking at the five beautiful women, he was at a loss for what to do.

"Director Cheng is quite the lucky man!"

Not far away, Deng Chao spoke to Sun Li.

"What, you want to be surrounded by five beautiful women too?" Sun Li glared at her.

"How could that be? I'm the best man in the world, I only love you," Deng Chao said shamelessly.

"Hmph!" Sun Li snorted coldly, "Don't think I don't know that you met with Hao Lei a few days ago."

"I'm innocent! Hao Lei and I are a thing of the past, there's really nothing between us," Deng Chao said.

Before dating Sun Li, Deng Chao and Hao Lei were in a romantic relationship.

The two met in 2002 while filming "The Young Emperor," where one played Emperor Shunzhi and the other played Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. They had many scenes together on screen and got along well off-screen as well.

Deng Chao was a newcomer at the time, young and ambitious, while Hao Lei was also an actor with a distinctive personality. The two quickly sparked a romance.

After going public, they were quite high-profile, signing with the same company and always appearing together at events, their relationship was incredibly sweet.

This relationship lasted for three years, and it wasn't without its ups and downs.

Deng Chao and Hao Lei are both stubborn and unwilling to yield to each other, so arguing is a common occurrence for them.

The biggest trigger was Hao Lei's acceptance of the film "Summer Palace" in 2004.

The film was quite explicit, with many nude scenes, but Hao Lei felt it was art and accepted the role.

Deng Chao, however, could not accept it, feeling that it would affect their relationship, and firmly opposed it.

The two argued incessantly, but Hao Lei insisted on filming anyway.

In 2005, Hao Lei took Deng Chao to see the initial cut of the film. The film was far more explicit than Deng Chao had imagined, and she left in anger. They broke up a few days later.

This relationship started with a bang and ended in heartbreak; both of them gave their hearts, but unfortunately, they didn't make it to the end.

Later, Deng Chao met Sun Li while filming "Happiness is Like Flowers".

Sun Li initially did not accept Deng Chao's advances, but Deng Chao was very persistent, and in the end Sun Li was moved by him and agreed to be with him.

"Nothing much? Reporters have already taken photos of you two shopping together," Sun Li said, rolling her eyes.

"It's a misunderstanding, this is absolutely a misunderstanding. Hao Lei and I just happened to run into each other that day," Deng Chao quickly explained.

While Deng Chao and Sun Li were explaining, Huang Xiaoming and Chen Kun were talking amongst themselves on the other side. (End of Chapter)
