Although the crew encountered such a scandal just when the film was completed, fortunately, because the incident was distorted by the media, the ugly thing Yao Xiang was about to do was at least covered up, and did not cause greater losses to the crew.
Instead, people became curious about Jiang Se and frequently left messages on Gu Jiaer's Weibo, asking him about the truth of the incident.
Jiang Se noticed that Gu Jiaer's Weibo had been updated. He did not directly answer the netizens' questions, but instead kept people in suspense.
Someone asked him if there was a beauty hidden in the crew, whose appearance was better than Zhao Ruoyun. He just sent a smiling emoji and replied: "When we go to the cinema, we will know the difference."
Such messages naturally made many people feel uneasy, and they all asked whether "Fake It" would be released during the summer vacation next year.
Of course, there are also many fans of Zhao Ruoyun who firmly believe that this is just a hype method of the crew, and they are unwilling to believe that there are other actresses in the crew who are more beautiful than Zhao Ruoyun.
Jiang Se swiped his brush for a while, and not only did the incident not calm down, it was getting more and more serious.
Many curious people have begun to speculate about the identity of the producer Yao Xiang who was beaten, and some reporters have sneaked into the hospital and tried to interview the doctors.
Yao Xiang was seriously injured, with broken ribs and symptoms of concussion, and he has to stay in the hospital for observation.
Although the matter was not small, Jiang Se was not worried.
With the power of the Pei family, it would be too easy to settle such a matter.
She looked at the time. It was already eleven o'clock. She turned off the computer, dried her hair, and just climbed into bed. When she was about to take out her cell phone and turn it off, the old cell phone suddenly rang.
The person who called was from the crew of "Fake It Comes True". He was vaguely asking her about the identities of Pei Yi and Nie Dan, hoping to get some information from her.
The situation on the internet was serious, and the crew was probably afraid that the situation would escalate in a direction that would be unfavorable to them, so they were reviewing the press release overnight.
However, the crew is currently unable to find out the identity of the person who beat the man. When the crew wanted to negotiate with the hotel to get the surveillance video in the elevator at night, the hotel claimed that the video had been taken away by the police.
Gu Jiaer has been in the industry for many years, so he naturally has some connections. Plus, the crew's investors don't want to make a big deal out of this, so they plan to find a way to get the tape.
But the police seemed to be under pressure from above. Even though Gu Jiaer and the major investors of the "Fake It Comes True" crew tried their best, they ultimately failed to achieve their goal.
Now the crew naturally guessed that the identities of Pei Yi and Nie Dan, who beat people tonight, should be different.
After failing to get any information out of Jiang Se, the crew members had no choice but to give up. In the end, they implicitly told her not to actively contact news and entertainment hype recently, and to keep a low profile for a while to get through the current situation.
In fact, before saying this, the staff member who made the call did not think that Jiang Se would agree to his request.
After all, if Jiang Se wants to enter the entertainment industry, he must be a hot topic and be popular.
Now that the incident has become so big and all major media outlets have reported it, the crew is not sure whether Jiang Se will obey this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for hype.
But as soon as he said it, before he tried to persuade her, Jiang Se agreed immediately:
"I know how to do it."
This result surprised the person on the other end of the phone. After a moment of disbelief, he asked her again to confirm:
"Ms. Jiang, are you sure?"
Jiang Se once again answered affirmatively: "I'm sure."
Although she wanted to enter the entertainment industry, she had never thought of becoming famous quickly through such hype.
What's more, the Pei family will also find a way to calm things down quickly. Even if she wants to stir up trouble, she may not be able to do so.
The consequence of being irrational is that she will easily offend the crew and make Gu Jiaer hate her in the future. She might even benefit from stepping down at this opportunity.
As soon as Jiang Se finished his affirmative words, there was a slight noise coming from the telephone receiver. Jiang Se vaguely heard that the person on the other end of the phone seemed to cover the microphone and said a few words to someone.
After a long while, the man's voice sounded again:
"Ms. Jiang, I've been waiting for a long time. Director Gu is very grateful for your cooperation. Director Lin Xiwen has a new play in preparation. Director Gu has some friendship with him. He talked with Director Lin Xiwen earlier and thought you are very suitable for one of the roles." Apparently Jiang Se had readily agreed to the crew's request before, so the crew returned the favor and took the initiative to introduce her to an audition role:
"Just write down the phone number and call tomorrow to inquire about the audition."
Jiang Se responded, and the crew quickly read out a number. Jiang Se recited it and hung up the phone after confirming that it was correct.
She saved the phone number she had just memorized into her cell phone. Just as she had entered a few digits, the phone rang again, interrupting her actions.
Jiang Se couldn't help but cut off the incoming call.
Her cell phone was an old-fashioned one, and when the call was hung up, the numbers she had dialed were naturally not saved.
I had just re-entered the number and before I had time to save it, the call that Jiang Se had hung up earlier came in again.
She hung up the phone again and prepared to enter the number again. This time the call came very quickly. Jiang Se sighed, resignedly got out of bed to find paper and pen, wrote down the number, and pressed the answer button.
"Jiang Se!" A gnashing voice came from the other end of the phone. Jiang Se thought for a long time and remembered Nie Dan who was beside Pei Yi.
This guy was Pei Yi's accomplice in the beating tonight, so he called now probably to clean up the aftermath.
"Go ahead." She climbed back onto the bed. Nie Dan paused on the other end of the phone and said, "Why don't you ask who I am?"
"Someone got beaten up in the elevator tonight." Jiang Se's words made Nie Dan touch his nose and turn to look at Pei Yi beside him:
"Brother Yi, this little girl is so smart."
Pei Yi didn't say anything.
It was similar to what Jiang Se thought. Pei Yi beat someone up and Nie Dan was responsible for cleaning up the aftermath. He called to ask Jiang Se not to show up for a while.
He did not intend to discuss with Jiang Se like the crew did, but instead informed Jiang Se directly.
Jiang Se naturally knew what kind of background Nie Dan came from. But every time Nie Dan met her before, he was always respectful and never so arrogant. After telling her what he wanted to say, Nie Dan directly hung up the phone.
Originally, Nie Dan had planned to meet up with a few friends at the St. Regis Hotel tonight, but because of Pei Yi's beating, the group of friends naturally changed the venue.
Cheng Runing was among them. Perhaps because Pei Yi had already vented his anger on Yao Xiang tonight, he came for a while and sat there trembling for a long time. Pei Yi did not hit him. (To be continued)
