Chapter 299: Chapter 299: The Famous Movie Star Called Several Times, but I Didn’t Dare to Answer

Ding-dong, ding-dong——

Almost everyone present received the push notification for the trending search, Yuran’s blunt official Weibo post, and the topic of M.YU directly confronting Qu Dongdong—it was incredibly hot.

Lin Zhan just couldn’t understand. Didn’t these viewers have to work? Why were they so quick? And Yuran’s popularity didn’t seem that high, nor was Qu Dongdong a star with a large fan base. So why so fast?

The film crew was quickly endorsed by netizens from all walks of life.

The content was mostly three words, seeking the truth.

Qu Dongdong’s fans, naturally outnumbering Yuran’s, banded together to berate her.

Many fans demanded an apology from Yuran, who steadfastly ignored them, acting as if she hadn’t seen anything. Now that Qu Dongdong had torn off the pretense, she didn’t hide her disdain either, sneering coldly in front of everyone, "Do you think you can fight me?"

Today, there were no scenes for Gu Jinshen and Lu Xiao. Among the leading actors present, only Yuran, Qu Dongdong, and Lan Yi were there. As a senior, Lan Yi felt she ought to do something.

But after seeing Yuran’s fighting spirit, she realized that actually, she didn’t need to do anything at all.

This girl was definitely not one to suffer in silence.

Yuran smiled coldly, not arguing with the pleased Qu Dongdong about who was more formidable. Instead, she asked very seriously, "Senior Qu, I’m puzzled about something and seek your guidance."

Qu Dongdong looked at her suspiciously, on guard, unsure what Yuran was up to. Yuran waved her hand and moved a little closer in her direction, "You don’t have to be afraid, surrounded by so many people, am I going to hit you or something?

You can rest assured, I’m not afraid of pain, I’m even afraid of aching, aren’t we all flesh and blood?

Senior Qu, I don’t believe I have offended you in any way since I joined the crew. Why do you hate me so much?

You seem like you want to tear me apart, it’s so strange."

Qu Dongdong’s face was icy, and she had no intention of answering Yuran’s question. Yuran, undiscouraged, continued, "We’re all familiar with each other; making a scene like this looks too ugly, doesn’t it?"

The onlookers almost spat blood. How could she have the audacity to say that?

Who was the one making it so well-known throughout the internet? And yet she had the awareness that making an ugly scene wasn’t good.

Lin Zhan disliked having so many unpleasant things happening in his crew, but the current situation was exceptional; the girl’s background was purely that of a hoodlum, and he wasn’t someone Lin Zhan could afford to provoke.

As for Qu Dongdong, there was some room for consideration. Another way to put it was that Qu Dongdong’s performance never met his standards. Replacing her, his reasoning would be sound.

Once the scales in his heart tipped, they couldn’t be pulled back.

Relying on the fact that her father was a shareholder of Diyang Entertainment, Qu Dongdong acted recklessly. She was the first to start a physical fight, and this was witnessed by everyone in the crew.

Once Qu Dongdong regained her composure, her agent quickly arrived at her side, whispering something into her ear. Her expression was very ugly. Before leaving, she glared at Yuran venomously and left with pursed lips.

Perplexed, Lin Zhan watched the Little Assistant hurry over and asked, "What happened? Qu Dongdong looks so dramatic."

The Little Assistant dared not conceal anything and explained, "Just now, Director Qu, Qu Dongdong’s father, called. He asked me to notify Qu Dongdong to come back home for a bit."

Lin Zhan thought for a moment, his gaze landed on Yuran, then he discreetly looked away, "I see. Let’s continue today’s shooting. Lan Yi, get ready; we’ll shoot your scene with Yuran first. Yuran, your hand—is it good to continue?"

Yuran nodded, her expression still tinged with an apology, "Director Lin, I can continue, and I’m truly sorry, I just couldn’t hold back."

Lin Zhan waved his hand, indicating he wouldn’t dwell on the matter.

Once Director Lin had left, Lan Yi called Yuran over, looking at her with a mixture of amusement and concern, "You, do you ever think about the consequences before you act? Qu Dongdong has a strong backing, aren’t you worried about getting tripped up by her?"

It wasn’t that Yuran hadn’t considered it; she simply couldn’t restrain herself just now. Still, her subconscious belief was much stronger that this was Director Lin’s crew.

Although Director Lin disliked the palace intrigue-like scheming among artists, overall, he was known to be quite fair and just within the circle.

She admitted as much without hesitation, "Senior, I know what I’m doing and I’ve given it thought. But after holding back for several days, Qu Dongdong’s hostility towards me hasn’t decreased, and I’ve reached my limit. Besides, this is Director Lin Zhan’s crew, that’s why I did what I did."

Lan Yi couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "It’s just my speculation and whether you answer or not is up to you, but let me ask, are you and Bo Yan particularly close?"

"Yes."

Lan Yi had prepared herself for Yuran to evade the question, but the girl was unexpectedly candid, which made her laugh, "Would you be this honest with anyone who asks?"

But the young girl shook her head, "Not really, it depends on the person. I feel like you have no ill intentions towards me and you’ve looked after me quite a bit."

Lan Yi: "..."

To say she was cunning wasn’t entirely accurate, but to say she was lacking was also not true—she was quite shrewd.

Performing scenes with Lan Yi, regardless of the side, went incredibly smoothly. From the lighting technician to the props team, and from the director to the actors, everyone enjoyed a pleasant collaboration, the efficiency was high, and the workload was halved.

After finishing, Lan Yi couldn’t resist praising her, "How on earth can you act so well? You’re not even formally trained, from where did Lin Zhan unearth such a treasure?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhan burst into laughter. He and Lan Yi were old partners, and when they teased each other privately, they did not hold back at all, "Jealous, aren’t you? Acting with a newcomer like this makes you feel like you’re about to be left stranded on the beach, right?"

Lan Yi was speechless, "Yes, yes, yes, can you at least talk sense?"

Yuran had intended to join the conversation when Annan hurried over and whispered into her ear with a strange expression, "During your scene just now, the great movie star Bo Yan called several times. I didn’t answer. I didn’t dare to. Call him back now."

"Oh."

Yuran, not sure why Bo Yan was looking for her, obediently took out her phone and walked away. Lan Yi watched the young girl’s departing figure and inquired of Lin Zhan, "This little girl’s backer can’t be smaller than Qu Dongdong’s, right?"

Lin Zhan, "Why the sudden interest in such a private matter?"

Lan Yi, "I really enjoy working with her. She’s efficient, doesn’t cause trouble, and is more professional than many who’ve been formally trained."

Lin Zhan smiled wryly, his eyes filled with significance, "Naturally, if I told you, it would scare you to death."

"Oh?" Lan Yi raised an eyebrow, "Try me, let’s see if you can scare me."

Instantly cornered, Lin Zhan couldn’t maintain his composure and mumbled awkwardly, while looking unnaturally flustered, "Anyway, anyway, Qu Dongdong can’t touch her, and it’s very possible that by crossing her, Qu Dongdong might lose her leading role. Just wait and see, pretend you’re just a spectator."

Lan Yi: "..."

Unable to stand her disdainful gaze, Lin Zhan puffed up and glared, "Stop looking at me like that, it really makes me nervous."
