The Queen's Rumored Father

Teacher He, Teacher Huang, and others are indeed professional enough, Chen Kewen, Cao Dun, and others also have a certain degree of authority, and Lei Jiayin, Qi Wei, and others can also be said about their acting skills.

But these people are too close to Xu Yuan.

Their statements will only be seen as helping Xu Yuan, and will not give people a sense of conviction.

During this special time, a key figure has become a hot topic.

Liu Xiaofeng!

The original actor who played Fahai in The Legend of the White Snake.

After learning that Meng Xiaoxuan would be playing Bai Suzhen, and considering that playing villains was detrimental to his image, Liu Xiaofeng withdrew from the role of Fahai. This gave Xu Yuan the opportunity to shave his head.

Entertainment in Retrospect: Hua Ce makes a move, getting very close to Liu Xiaofeng, a top-tier celebrity!

A minor incident: Liu Xiaofeng quits the role of Fahai, possibly because Xu Yuan snatched the role away!

Xiao Peng rambles on: Traffic is everything! Why is Xu Yuan chosen to play Fahai?

Entertainment City Daily: Pop star Ling Xingru openly stated that she is a fan of Liu Xiaofeng and spoke out in defense of her idol!

A series of tabloid news stories emerged.

The names Liu Xiaofeng, Fahai, and Xu Yuan are gaining increasing popularity.

Afterwards, most of the celebrities from the Huace Media Group spoke out, either saying how good their relationship with Liu Xiaofeng was, or how much they admired or idolized Liu Xiaofeng's acting skills, etc.

In a roundabout way, they were also speaking out for Liu Xiaofeng.

However, because they had been proven wrong by Xu Yuan several times, these celebrities took a more cautious approach when implementing the advice of Huace's senior management, and did not criticize Xu Yuan as directly as before.

Even so, their fans still understood their master's meaning and began to fiercely criticize Xu Yuan.

As for Xu Yuan, as mentioned before, although he has 20 million followers, similar to Kun Kun in the fandom, most of these followers are actually parasitic fans of Meng Xiaoxuan, only checking Xu Yuan's page for news.

Because most of the information about Meng Xiaoxuan comes from Xu Yuan.

If Meng Xiaoxuan is attacked, Xu Yuan will immediately go out with a knife and cause trouble.

But when it's Xu Yuan's turn, these fans usually don't act rashly.

Let's see how things go first.

After all, if Xu Yuan were to snatch the role of Fahai from Liu Xiaofeng, it would most likely involve behind-the-scenes manipulation. Even if Xu Yuan won Best Supporting Actor, he would still be no match for a veteran A-list actor like Liu Xiaofeng.

Liu Xiaofeng, who came from CTV, has acted in many military-themed films. Later, he also had a very eye-catching appearance in period dramas and martial arts dramas. If it weren't for the fact that it was a bit early in his career, his name might have appeared in the selection of the Four Beauties of Tianya.

In the hugely popular TV series "The Lotus Lantern" a few years ago, he made a cameo appearance as Chenxiang's father, and his portrayal of Liu Yanchang's "Ten Thousand People's Blood Letter" became a classic in its own right.

This person's acting skills are evident.

With his contract with his original agency expiring, Liu Xiaofeng is currently considering a new agency.

Among them, Hua Ce was particularly proactive, having already contacted Liu Xiaofeng many times and offered very generous terms.

On the other hand, although DiYu Entertainment did not directly recruit them, their rising star Ling Xingru has repeatedly shown goodwill from afar, making their intentions obvious.

Suddenly, Liu Xiaofeng, a veteran actor who had steadily acted for most of his life but had hardly ever become a sensation, was thrust into the spotlight. His exposure skyrocketed.

Finally, during an incident where the large number of reporters disrupted Liu Xiaofeng's filming, Liu Xiaofeng agreed to be interviewed by the reporters.

Online, many haters got excited.

Liu Xiaofeng is finally about to unleash his fury on Xu Yuan!

Once the video is released, Xu Yuan is basically doomed.

It's good that he quit the role of Fahai. If he had continued playing it, Chen Kewen's new drama would have been tarnished before it even started, and Meng Xiaoxuan and Xu Yuan would have been the biggest problems.

Everything points to something very clear.

This controversy surrounding Xu Yuan's acting skills ultimately points the finger at Meng Xiaoxuan.

"Xu Yuan, should we call in the reporters and hold a press conference?" Chen Kewen came to Xu Yuan's room and found Xu Yuan explaining the scenes they were going to film that afternoon to Meng Xiaoxuan.

"I have to go to the National Theater this afternoon, so I can't make a mistake there. Oh, right, Director Chen, you're here just in time. You have to keep a close eye on things for me. If Xiaoxuan's performance isn't up to par, make her do it again." Xu Yuan pulled Chen Kewen to sit down next to him and said, "If she plays Bai Suzhen well in this play, she might be able to stand on the award stage next year. Although Xiaoxuan is still young, if she could compete for an award again, I think she wouldn't be in my current situation."

Xu Yuan's words were pointed.

If he had won Best Actor instead of Best Supporting Actor, the controversy surrounding the fight for the role of Fahai wouldn't have escalated to such an extent.

It's perfectly reasonable for a young TV King to compete for any role.

Ultimately, it was their own lack of strength that gave the thieves an opportunity to take advantage.

"Let's hold off on the press conference for now. They're about to drop a big bombshell." Xu Yuan pointed to the television next to him, which was still on. An entertainment news program was airing, and it was Liu Xiaofeng's first interview since he withdrew from the role of Fahai.

Live news broadcast!

"Sigh, it's my fault for not handling things well before," Chen Kewen said self-reproachfully. "Xiaofeng and I have a pretty good relationship. His decision to withdraw from the role of Fahai was actually a mutual one. But some things weren't explained clearly, and there might have been some misunderstandings. I should have communicated with him again sooner."

They're all doing live interviews right now, so it's too late for Chen Kewen to call them.

We can only hope that Liu Xiaofeng will show leniency.

But Liu Xiaofeng is currently deeply involved with Hua Ce, how could that be...?

"It shouldn't be too bad. I've asked Andy Lau for help." Xu Yuan said calmly.

Andy Lau?

Chen Kewen was taken aback.

Andy Lau is indeed incredibly influential in Hong Kong, but his influence in mainland China isn't that great. At most, he has some connections with a few emerging actors and directors in mainland films.

Is it...

On television, a reporter asked, "Mr. Liu Xiaofeng, what is your opinion on the online controversy surrounding Xu Yuan's acting skills? Is it true that his acting is unworthy of the role of Fahai in this major CTV drama? Did he use any underhanded methods to take your role?"

This reporter asked a rather cunning question.

Having basically said everything, Liu Xiaofeng only needed to nod, and a headline news article would be published.

I have no idea how many red envelopes he received.

"Which organization's reporter are you from?" Liu Xiaofeng asked.

"I'm a reporter for the gossip magazine 'Ignite the Gossip'," the reporter replied.

"Please leave. I refuse to be interviewed by you." Liu Xiaofeng said angrily with a stern face. "The Legend of the White Snake is a major production for CTV next year. From investment and casting to costumes, props and other hardware configurations and publicity, we have put a lot of hard work into it."

"What exactly are you trying to achieve with these malicious remarks?"

"Today, with so many media outlets present, I want to formally clarify one point. The role of Fahai was one that I decided to decline after detailed discussions with director Chen Kewen. This role was not conducive to my further pursuit in film and television, so I voluntarily gave it up. As for Xu Yuan being able to take on this role, it was based on his ability, not any nepotism."

"I hope everyone will respect CTV's productions and every actor who works hard in their craft."

"We may not have that much online buzz or popularity, but that's not important, because we just want to focus on making good films!"
