Huayu Tianxian: This director is such a hypocrite!

BJ Prince's Mansion Hotel, CBD Conference Center.

The November wind was already quite noisy. Ye Chong was very busy today, and as he quickened his pace, the cold wind stung his face.

When I arrived at the hotel, many reporters were already waiting there.

"Director Ye!"

"Ye Chong".

"Excuse me, thank you."

Ye Chong ignored these people and walked straight inside.

Half an hour later, Ye Chong tidied his suit and bangs, then walked towards the front desk without looking back.

"Click click click..."

The flash of the camera made him squint slightly, and hope Jie's figure as she turned around became somewhat blurry.

There was a time when he even needed to bribe reporters in advance to hold a press conference; the price he paid was equivalent to the quality of the press release.

Now, he doesn't need to do anything; the attention and spotlight will come naturally.

"Producer Chen, is it true that Director Yip said Andy Lau isn't an actor, as some netizens have claimed?"

Sister hope was looking at him again, with that murderous gaze.

Sister Xi, I don't want to always end up in such a mess. In my past life, I wanted to be a star but I held back for eight years. I wanted to work hard, but my family's financial situation didn't allow it.

To be frank, I'm not perfect; I'm just an immature freeloader.

"Director Ye? Director Ye?"

At the press conference, Ye Chong snapped out of his daze and looked at the reporter who had spoken.

"How do you plan to respond to this matter concerning Andy Lau? You know, Andy Lau has countless fans. Are you going to go against them?"

"I'm sorry, Brother Hua!" Ye Chong apologized crisply.

"what?"

"Huh?"

The reporters were greatly disappointed. They thought they would get an exclusive shot of Ye Chongchong lashing out, but this was all they got?

How did you treat Lu Chuan so badly last time? Why are you being so nice to her now?

On camera, Ye Chong placed his fingers on the table with three microphones in front of him. Facing the camera, his tone was surprisingly sincere: "An important friend once told me: I am a typical person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. My biggest flaw is that I speak without thinking."

"Wah Gor's performance was absolutely fine; it's just that it wasn't a good fit for my film, that's all. So I apologize to Wah Gor and hope we'll have the opportunity to work together again in the future."

"Huh?"

"what?"

"No way?"

The reporters were somewhat disappointed, but Chen Zhixi turned and gave him a look of admiration.

"So, how will you respond to Cecilia Cheung's post?"

"The investment in 'The Legend of the Stone' includes nearly half of the actors' salaries. Are you confident...?"

"Was it this friend who changed you?"

Ye Chong finally got to answer the question he wanted to answer and looked at the Sina reporter. "A good friend will lend a hand when you go astray. I know my character is being questioned by the public. Judging a person's character isn't just about their words, but also their actions. I'm trying to restrain myself and change my tendency to speak without thinking; that's the key."

Chen Zhixi rolled her eyes.

Sister, did I stop trying to persuade you? You hypocrite, you're making your girlfriend sound like a fairy!

"Producer Chen, is the same cast and crew for this shoot? How long do you plan to take to wrap up filming, and which film festival will you be attending?"

When Chen Zhixi heard the serious question, she straightened her expression and started working, while Ye Chong continued to daydream.

……

At 2 p.m., Ye Chong's travel-worn figure appeared in Jiuzhaigou.

He finished his press conference at 9:00, arrived at Jiuhuang at 11:00, and reached his hotel at the entrance of Jiuzhaigou at 2:00 in the afternoon.

"This way, Director Ye."

Ye Chong followed the staff to the actors' hotel and immediately saw Yi Fei practicing martial arts moves.

She was wearing a black wool sweater and wide-legged flared pants, and while imitating the action choreographer's movements, she nodded and took notes.

Liu's mother and Huang Xiaoming stood opposite Ye Chong; she was the first person to spot Ye Chong.

Seeing Ye Chong sweating profusely from the heat, she suddenly frowned.

She always felt that Ye Chong was like a person who never grew up, with a dependent nature and a clingy personality.

Or, to use the words Ye Chong taught his daughter: "lickspittle."

This is not a good thing. Don't you, Ye Chong, have a career? You have so many trivial matters to deal with, yet you still travel thousands of miles just to see your daughter.

"Alright, that's enough for now. We'll rehearse the moves one more time when we get to the top of the mountain."

"OK."

Yifei nodded obediently, and Liu's mother immediately handed her daughter a tissue to wipe her sweat before Ye Chong could.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Ye Chong didn't surround them, but instead turned and walked towards Zhang Jizhong, who had just gotten up and was yawning.

Ten minutes later, the crew members started getting into the car. Liu's mother looked around but couldn't find Ye Chong anywhere.

If he's not on the actors' bus, where is he?

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Liu's mother didn't say anything. She saw her daughter onto the bus and made sure she was seated. Then she ran off the bus and went to Zhang Jizhong's bus.

"hold head high--"

With a roar, the car sped towards the mountaintop.

As they swayed, Liu's mother switched places with a producer and came to stand behind Ye Chong and Zhang Jizhong.

"Uncle Zhang, you must strengthen your protection. The safety of the actors is more important than anything else."

Zhang Jizhong's voice was mature and steady. Upon hearing this, he merely glanced at Ye Chong and said, "Little Ye, don't you trust me?"

"This isn't a matter of whether I feel reassured or not."

Ye Xiaozi's voice was somewhat excited, and Liu's mother didn't know what he wanted to do.

"You know that Chen Jinfei and I have some disagreements."

How did this get into the topic of flying?

"He and I are like oil and water, but Yifei is innocent."

You're quite self-aware? You're an outsider to us, mother and son.

Liu's mother pursed her lips, and the resentment in her heart welled up again.

"I'm very worried about Yifei's safety without him watching over her."

"Are you doubting my abilities?" Producer Zhang's voice gradually rose.

Liu's mother became secretly anxious.

You idiot, why do you always speak so bluntly?

Although she didn't know what kind of relationship Producer Zhang had with Ye Chong, the current situation looked very dangerous, as Producer Zhang was one of the top figures in the industry.

"I have no doubt about your abilities. Here are two things I'd like you to look after Yifei for me."

As they were talking, Ye Chong took his backpack off the overhead shelf, and Liu's mother quickly ducked her head.

"First of all, the water in Jiuzhaigou is very fast-flowing, so you need to find two people to stay close to her and prevent her from falling into the water."

"Um……"

Zhang Jizhong's attitude changed, which puzzled Liu's mother. When she looked up, she saw a bank card.

"Secondly, the action in your original script where the extras toss her up is not suitable for Xiaolongnu's pure and innocent image. I hope you can change it."

Are you crazy?! Ye Chong! You're even rewriting the script?!

Liu's mother was extremely anxious.

Although I don't like this kid who's stealing my cabbage, I also don't want him to be dragged off the bus by Zhang Jizhong.

"Hmm, I'll consider it."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jizhong's attitude changed drastically. Could it be because of the bank card from earlier?

"We've arrived! Producer Zhang."

The vehicle slowly came to a stop, and the group of people began to get off.

Just as Liu's mother was about to make a move, Ye Chong stopped her.

"Aunt Liu."

Liu Xiaoli stopped walking and let the others get out of the car before standing up and looking at Ye Chong.

Ye Chong looked down again and rummaged through his backpack.

He may have misjudged the weather here; he was still wearing a thick wool sweater and a faded gray trench coat that he had seen in 03, and his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.

"this."

Ye Chong handed over a pile of items.

At first glance, Liu's mother saw three items: a white wool undershirt, a packet of paper with Japanese writing on it, and a pink wire harness.

"Producer Zhang is, after all, a producer, and he has a lot of responsibilities. I hope you can stay by Yifei's side at all times."

"Of course," Liu's mother replied casually as she took the items.

"This white undershirt is thin, but it has a small pocket inside the back. You can use this latest Japanese product, 'heat pack,' to tear it open and stick it inside, or anywhere else. It's very convenient for keeping warm."

Liu's mother looked at him with a complicated expression.

At this moment, she remembered the word her daughter had mentioned to her: "lickspittle."

Why are you doing this to yourself? You could have just given it to her yourself.

The implication is that I will turn a blind eye to your and your daughter's affairs.

But Ye Chong shook his head and flashed a pure smile that Liu's mother had never seen before.

"I'm not the key person; I just don't want her to get hurt or have any regrets!"
