Huayu: Starting with Hijacking from "The Story of a Noble Family"

Chapter 98 Fan Binbin's attempt to curry favor, and Wang Jinghua's unexpected encounter.

Early on the morning of the 17th, Xu Heng, along with Zhang Zichen, Zhou Yang, and a makeup artist, set off for Ning Province to attend the closing ceremony and awards ceremony of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival the day after tomorrow.

Around 10 p.m., the group arrived at the hotel.

The next day, Xu Heng went to the film festival and attended a simple rehearsal.

He already knew what award he would receive at this point. The organizers usually notify the winners before the award ceremony so that they can prepare.

If you haven't received a notification, it's highly likely you didn't win the award.

After dinner, Xu Heng had just returned to his hotel room when he received a text message from Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei: Have you eaten yet?

Xu Heng: Just got back from a restaurant. Liu Yifei: Was the film festival fun? Did you go to see any movies?

Xu Heng: I didn't see it. There were people everywhere. It would be troublesome if I got recognized. Liu Yifei: Will Zhang Zichen and Zhou Yang be able to win an award?

Xu Heng: I haven't received any notification yet, it's probably going to be difficult.

Liu Yifei: Oh, that's such a pity. Liu Yifei: Training was so tiring today. Xu Heng: You're already complaining about being tired?

Liu Yifei: Were you this tired when you practiced martial arts before?

Xu Heng: I was just practicing casually, of course it wasn't that tiring. Liu Yifei: Tch. Liu Yifei: When will the movie be finished?

Xu Heng: There shouldn't be any problems before filming starts. How's your song practice going?

Liu Yifei: I'm sure I can practice until you finish!

Xu Heng: It's okay, we can fix the audio anyway. If all else fails, we can record it word by word. Liu Yifei: I don't want to! Xu Heng: That's not up to you. Who told you you don't have the talent to be a singer? Liu Yifei: Then go find some talented singers to sing with!

Xu Heng: You really think my songs are worthless? Liu Yifei: How would I know? Anyway, I didn't spend any money. Before the filming of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" started, all the actors with action scenes had to undergo martial arts training for about a month, but Xu Heng was not included.

Putting aside the fact that he was busy with post-production work on the film, it was no secret that he had practiced martial arts.

When filming "Chinese Paladin", he performed all his own action scenes without using a stunt double, which was reported by the media.

During his audition, he even deliberately showed off a little bit of his skills.

But Liu Yifei was different; she could only obediently follow the training.

To play the role of Little Dragon Girl well, she practiced very seriously!

At this moment, Xu Heng suddenly received a text message from Wang Jinghua, who asked him to meet up.

He thought about it and declined, citing that it was too late and inconvenient.

After chatting with Liu Yifei for a while, Liu Yifei went to take a shower and rest.

She really wanted to take a shower and rest; it wasn't just a perfunctory gesture. Liu Yifei had to get up early tomorrow morning for running and training.

And just then, something happened to the crew of the TV series "The Little Fish and the Flower Without Flaws" which was being filmed at the Huairou Film and Television Base in Beijing.

This afternoon, Wang Bozhao, the actor who plays Jiang Biehe in the drama and also the actor who played the White Dragon in the 86 version of "Journey to the West", had a verbal altercation with a makeup artist from Hong Kong on set.

When director Wang Jing found out, he temporarily modified the evening's scenes, adding a scene where Xiao Yu'er and Hua Wuque whipped Jiang Biehe's corpse.

During the nighttime filming, Wang Bozhao lay on a stretcher playing the role of a corpse and was required to remain motionless and silent throughout the entire process.

As a result, he was deliberately injured by the two main characters of the drama, Zhang Weijian and Xie Tingfeng, through punches and kicks.

Wang Bozhao then called the police and was taken to the hospital with his face covered in blood.

"I just saw the news that Zhang Weijian and Xie Tingfeng injured veteran actor Wang Bozhao on set. It's so unexpected."

"Wang Bozhao is a veteran actor in the industry, and he is a senior in terms of seniority. Young artists should not be so tactless."

"I've always watched Zhang Weijian's TV dramas and I have a good impression of him. I never expected him to do something like physically assaulting someone."

"It's normal to get bumps and bruises while filming action scenes, but that's completely different from deliberately hitting someone hard!"

"The entertainment industry looks glamorous on the surface, but I never expected the conflicts to be so serious behind the scenes, even to the point of physical violence!"

"We've only seen media reports so far; the full story is still unclear. Let's wait for the official statement."

"Celebrities shouldn't take advantage of their popularity and fame to act like divas and bully their seniors!"

'

The following day, many media outlets reported on the assault incident involving the crew of "The Little Fish and the Flower Without Flaws" the previous night.

Zhang Weijian is currently at the peak of his popularity in mainland China, and Xie Tingfeng is even more so, so their level of attention is naturally not low.

At around 5 p.m., Xu Heng and his entourage arrived at the Ningxia Provincial Auditorium, the venue for the awards ceremony.

The awards ceremony will be held at 7:30 p.m., followed by a red carpet ceremony at 6 p.m.

At this time, there were more than 3000 spectators on both sides of the 100-meter-long red carpet, and more than 500 reporters on site.

As soon as Xu Heng appeared, a group of reporters immediately surrounded him.

"Xu Heng, are you aware of the assault incident involving the crew of 'The Little Fish and the Flower Without Flaws' last night?"

Before we could even get a good spot, a reporter couldn't wait to ask a question.

Before Xu Heng, many celebrities and actors had been asked this question.

"Know."

Xu Heng nodded.

"So what's your opinion on this?"

The reporter then asked.

"I have no opinion."

Xu Heng answered casually.

These reporters were not surprised at all, after all, the two people who beat up the two popular stars from Hong Kong, while the one who was beaten up was just a mainland actor who had been washed up for many years.

The so-called "veteran actors" are just empty words. They'll give you face when things are going well, but when something really happens, they'll think they're someone special.

Most of the celebrities and actors who were interviewed before, while not explicitly siding with the person who assaulted them, rarely stood up for the person who was assaulted, including many mainland Chinese celebrities and actors!

But then the reporters heard Xu Heng continue, "I think this matter should be handed over to the relevant departments for handling. I also believe that the relevant departments will not show any favoritism because of the identities of either party. They will handle it according to the proper procedures. The general public is watching!"

In Xu Heng's memory, the assault incident did not seem to have a significant impact on Zhang Weijian and Xie Tingfeng, at least on the surface, because Wang Bozhao's injuries did not constitute a criminal offense.

However, both emotionally and logically, he should definitely stand on the side of Wang Bozhao, who is an actor from mainland China.

We can't back down either, otherwise we'll be cowards.

Wang Bozhao had previously acted in "The Story of a Noble Family". It's obvious to anyone who is right and wrong in this matter, but he can only offer verbal support at most.

"You mean the relevant authorities might be biased towards the person who committed the assault?"

The reporters' eyes lit up immediately.

Everyone knows that if there is any favoritism, it can only be shown to Hong Kong stars Cheung Wai-kin and Tse Ting-fung.

As for why everyone thinks this way, I don't know.

"I didn't say I would show favoritism, I just hope there won't be any. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Xu Heng denied it.

But for the journalists, that was enough.

After asking a few more questions about the film festival, the reporters finally let Xu Heng go, and Zhang Zichen and Zhou Yang also gave brief interviews.

After signing in, Xu Heng and his entourage followed the staff to the VIP room inside the auditorium to wait for the red carpet ceremony to begin.

There was no one to greet at the scene, so Xu Heng led Zhang Zichen and Zhou Yang to a seat.

But soon two people came to him: Wang Jinghua, now known as the "Number One Agent in Mainland China," and her "god-daughter" Fan Binbin.

Fan Binbin has received nominations for Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Rooster Awards and Best Actress at the Hundred Flowers Awards, and is highly likely to win the Best Actress award at the Hundred Flowers Awards.

This award was very important to her, so naturally she had to go to the ceremony in person to receive it.

Zhang Zichen and Zhou Yang exchanged a glance and then very considerately made way for each other.

"Director Xu, do you mind if I bother you for a moment?"

Wang Jinghua said "politely".

Last night, she sent Xu Heng a text message, partly to catch up with him and partly to introduce her goddaughter to him, but Xu Heng rejected her outright!

"Others may not be able to say, but of course I, Sister Hua, don't mind!"

Xu Heng smiled broadly, after all, Wang Jinghua had lent him 20,000 yuan back then.

Although it wasn't a big favor, and neither he nor Wang Jinghua would take it to heart, he certainly wouldn't forget it.

"Becoming a big star really makes a difference."

Looking at Xu Heng sitting there with an air of superiority, Wang Jinghua made a teasing remark, but more so to get closer to Xu Heng.

She added, "But you were the same back then."

Then, Fan Binbin, who was wearing a white low-cut long dress, sat down next to Xu Heng but did not sit down.

Xu Heng smiled, and Wang Jinghua introduced, "This is my goddaughter Binbin. I brought her here today to meet Director Xu."

"Hello Director Xu, I'm Fan Binbin."

Fan Binbin understood and took the initiative to greet him, his attitude very sincere.

Despite becoming a household name a few years ago because of "My Fair Princess", her most famous role today is still the little maid Jin Suo. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to cling to Hong Pangzi's coattails.

But apart from having a higher status in the industry, Fatty Hong is far inferior to Xu Heng in every other aspect.

If she could get on Xu Heng's good side, she would definitely not mind dumping Fatty Hong right away!

She could even get rid of other people!

"Sister Binbin, you don't need to be so polite."

Xu Heng smiled and said, after all, Fan Binbin is indeed older than him.

Wang Jinghua immediately interjected, "Director Xu, just call him Binbin."

Fan Binbin understood again: "Yes, Director Xu, just call me Binbin."

Xu Heng smiled again, looking at Fan Binbin with a smile, then turned to look at Wang Jinghua, without saying a word.

Besides, his refusal to meet with Wang Jinghua last night already made his meaning quite clear.

He couldn't possibly be unaware that Wang Jinghua most likely wouldn't come to see him alone, otherwise it would be extremely impolite!

Fan Binbin's expression immediately became somewhat awkward; how could she not understand what Xu Heng meant?

Wang Jinghua also sighed inwardly; clearly, Xu Heng didn't think much of her as his goddaughter.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. They're both great beauties, one is younger, and the other is always kept close by.

The other one is several years older and has been plagued by scandals and controversies since his debut.

If she were Xu Heng, she would have made the same choice.

It can only be said that her goddaughter is indeed not as lucky as others.

But at this moment, it seems that Xu Heng doesn't even have the idea of ​​"cheating," which is what really surprised her!
