The Queen's Rumored Father

Of course, netizens at this time didn't think much about it, especially regarding the relationship between Meng Xiaoxuan and Xu Yuan.

Firstly, because Li Yuan was there to share the pressure, and secondly, because the entire crew cared so much about Xu Yuan.

It's not that people don't value Lei Jiayin, but rather that everyone saw Xu Yuan get hit. They prioritize helping in an emergency over saving him for a long time, which is the code of conduct for the Chang'an production team.

Later, Li Yuan ripped off Xu Yuan's clothes, and the entire internet burst into tears.

"Raise your hand if you're pausing here; I've been watching this scene for at least five minutes!"

"My God, is this a human back? How can there be so many scars?"

"I roughly counted, twenty-seven?"

"I'll handle this. I used to be a special forces soldier—I can't disclose my rank—and I participated in small-scale counter-terrorism operations overseas. Xu Yuan has three gunshot wounds on his back, one of which likely went right past his spine and was quite potentially fatal. His identity is not simple!"

"Yes, there are more knife wounds. The most conspicuous one on his back would kill nine out of ten people, and the one who survives would most likely be crippled! It's unbelievable that he can live like a normal person now."

"He's not a normal person. He took down all the male actors in the Chang'an film crew in just a few seconds. That's not something a normal person could do."

"No wonder he always has such a world-weary face, like he's always expressionless. He's probably seen too much of life and death."

"I've read the original novel by Chang'an, and I suddenly have high expectations for his portrayal of Long Bo."

"I heard from Li Yuan and Yi Yangqianxi that Xu Yuan's acting skills are particularly good. I guess it's because he has experienced a lot. I'm really looking forward to it."

"This is a man with a story."

"Look at Li Yuan's eyes! Is she ecstatic?"

"In comparison, Lei Jiayin, with her delicate skin, does lack a certain charm. If I were a woman, I would also prefer Xu Yuan."

Lei Datou was shot for no reason.

Don't you guys always say I look older than my age and that I'm big and burly?

How come your skin is so smooth and delicate again?

So, when I'm with young, handsome guys, I'm just an old, dried-up meat. When I'm with old, dried-up meat, I'm just a young, handsome guy. Why am I not popular at all?

As the video's views surged, the circumstances surrounding the incident were clarified.

The accident during the explosion scene was not caused by the unprofessionalism of the Chang'an crew or actors such as Lei Jiayin. On the contrary, it was a crew with human touch.

Lei Jiayin even risked his life to stand up for a dog. It was indeed a bit reckless, but at that moment, people don't think things through, and that instantaneous instinct proved Lei Jiayin's character and kindness.

Similarly, Xu Yuan also risked his life for Lei Jiayin.

Such a loyal and righteous film crew is rare to see these days.

The matter was set aside from its professional aspects and then turned to the human element.

The netizens who had been incited by the celebrities under Huace were now furious, feeling that they had been used as pawns.

The anger of netizens can sometimes be terrifying.

"The video editing is really good. It makes me even more interested in Director Ju's films. I bet even if 'General and I' were a complete mess, Director Ju's editing skills would still make it look amazing, right?"

Some netizens pointed the finger at Ju Jueliang, the director of the first drama series to speak out.

"Why? Because of her character and acting skills! Learn from her!" Some netizens also made sarcastic comments under Yang Ying's Weibo post.

"Chairman Fu, what do you say this time? Huace has crashed and burned, hasn't it?" Some netizens even launched an attack on Fu Youcheng directly.

In short, the entire Huace Group of actors was affected.

Those filming are alright; they're far removed from the general public.

For celebrities from the Huace Media Group who have public performances and commercial activities, you can always hear haters criticizing them in the crowd. This has never happened before.

Insiders have noticed that, starting with this year's Spring Festival Gala, Hua Ce seems to have consistently failed to gain an advantage over Meng Xiaoxuan. From the center position at the Gala, to the choices and arguments between the "General and I" and "Chang'an" drama crews, to the competition between the two pop divas' singles, and later, the mutual mudslinging.

Meng Xiaoxuan won from start to finish!

This conclusion shocked many people.

It's important to understand that Haoyue Film & Television, the company behind Meng Xiaoxuan, is merely a small to medium-sized film and television enterprise. Everyone is well aware of their capabilities. Meng Xiaoxuan's recent surge against the odds is definitely not due to Haoyue Film & Television.

Suddenly, phone calls flew in and out of the industry, all asking the same question.

"Hey, Director Chen, it's me, Zhang Lin from Qianda... No, no, actually I'm calling to ask you a favor. Little Meng is really on fire lately. We at Qianda are thinking of cultivating a new leading lady, so I wanted to ask who the mastermind behind the recent online scandal came from... Don't worry, I don't mean to pressure you. We at Qianda also have high hopes for the drama that CTV is preparing for you next year... Hahaha, um, let's have some tea sometime."

Zhang Lin, chairman of Qianda Film & Television, put down the phone, looked at his name which he had just written in his notebook, and muttered, "Xu Yuan? Interesting!"

Similarly, after hanging up the phone, Chen Kewen thought for a long time before finally sending Xu Yuan a message: "Zhang Lin, the chairman of Qianda Media, asked me about Meng Xiaoxuan's situation, and I revealed your name. It's a foregone conclusion that Qianda's top star is leaving. Among the four giants of the entertainment industry, Qianda is declining, and they urgently need a top star who can hold their own in terms of female stars."

"Thank you," Xu Yuan replied.

The title of "pop diva" is just an empty name. If she wants to truly reach a certain level during this period, she can only rely on a big company.

Qianda Media also came into Xu Yuan's view.

Ding Dong!

Xu Yuan hadn't even put his phone down when another message came in.

"Watch Huang Yi's Cloud Music."

The message was sent by Lemon.

"Yuan'er, Yuan'er, Xiaoxuan's song has become a hit again!" Lei Jiayin's voice echoed throughout the hotel. He looked as excited as if his single had become a hit.

Oh, I'm sorry, Lei Jiayin is tone-deaf and can't release a single.

Haha!

As soon as Lei Jiayin shouted, the actors who were resting in the hotel opened their room doors and gathered in Xu Yuan's room.

"Really? One song was recommended by two major music platforms. Their resources are amazing!" Yi Yangqianxi himself came from a music group. His first solo album was released last year and achieved good results, so he knows a lot about this industry.

Everyone nodded, looking at the large banner recommending Huang Yi on the homepage of Cloud Music.

"A Little Happiness" tops the hot song charts, and Meng Xiaoxuan has already made her move in the battle among the four little divas!

The Tencent Music Chart, Huang Yiyun Hot Songs Chart, and Alibaba Music Chart are the three most authoritative music charts in China.

Being listed on any ranking list indicates that you have achieved good results.

If a song can top a chart, it has the potential to become a hit.

However, almost no one can top multiple charts simultaneously. It's not that the songs aren't good enough, but rather that the three major online music giants are mutually exclusive.

I'll have to suppress the musicians you're promoting.

Meng Xiaoxuan used to mainly use Tencent Music's channels, so she shouldn't have received Huang Yiyun's strong recommendation. However, coincidentally, Tencent Music and Meng Xiaoxuan's cooperation contract had not been finalized.

They gave Meng Xiaoxuan too low a percentage of the profits.

It seems that Huang Yiyun is competing with Tencent for Meng Xiaoxuan's massive online traffic.

Therefore, Meng Xiaoxuan topped both lists and became an instant sensation!
