Chapter 1120: 536 My face hurts, what am I pretending for?【2 updates】
Qu Lingyun was a genius director.
From the beginning, he didn’t bother to associate with domestic directors, immersing himself directly in the international circuit.
Moreover, at a time when the comprehensive strength of the Great Xia Empire’s film and television industry couldn’t compare with foreign countries, Qu Lingyun held his own against directors from the Western Continent with his absolute talent.
A disciple of Gu Wenzhu, like the old man himself, Qu Lingyun subjected beauty to a particularly stringent scrutiny.
He never cared about who had more fans or better data; he discovered actors on his own.
As long as he took a liking to someone, even if they were an eighteenth-tier actor, he could turn them into a first-tier star.
...
That was the power of Qu Lingyun.
Therefore, even first-tier actors who hadn’t yet won Best Actor or Actress awards internationally would go to great lengths to collaborate with Qu Lingyun.
Without a doubt, Qu Lingyun’s films were made for the Grammy Awards.
“Who cast these votes?” Qu Lingyun frowned, “Are they blind?”
The assistant director then realized that it had all been a misunderstanding and quickly said, “I suppose it’s because your film is about to start shooting, and some people are getting restless, trying to ride on the hype.”
Qu Lingyun had never paid attention to such public opinion before, focusing solely on polishing scripts, and even the assistant director hadn’t expected him to react so explosively and speak out this time.
Qu Lingyun was indeed very angry.
His meticulously chosen lead actress had lost by five hundred thousand votes, wasn’t this suggesting that the public doubted his judgement?
From the first moment he saw Si Fuqing, he believed she could become the second citizen of Great Xia to achieve divine status at the Glain Awards, following in the footsteps of international superstar Yun Lan.
Yun Lan and Qu Lingyun truly complemented each other.
Only the Yun Lan in Qu Lingyun’s lens could perfectly showcase her pinnacle of acting, as opposed to just her face.
“Is my hype so easily leached?” Qu Lingyun said, anger still apparent, “If there are more of these false statements, have them all cleared out.”
The assistant director agreed repeatedly and shook his head looking at the rogue list on Weibo.
He had never collaborated with Tong Luoyun and only knew she often acted arrogantly on set; for both professional and personal reasons, he didn’t want Qu Lingyun to choose Tong Luoyun as the lead actress.
But this time, Tong Luoyun had shot herself in the foot.
**
Over at the Grammy Awards.
Tong Luoyun was chatting with her agent, inevitably mentioning Si Fuqing.
“Our intentions have already been communicated, but the big-time directors still really want to work with Si Fuqing. That’s something we can’t change,” the agent nodded and said, “However, it’s said that Si Fuqing’s team hasn’t accepted any scripts, as if she currently has no interest in filmmaking.”
Si Fuqing’s acting skills were evident, coupled with a tremendously strong fanbase and box office clout that didn’t need validation; it was certain she could carry it off.
Tong Luoyun harbored her own frustrations.
Si Fuqing had already peaked in the world of electronic sports; she didn’t need to exert so much effort acting.
Just the occasional livestream playing games was enough to keep the heat up, so why bother competing with them for the entertainment industry’s limited cake?
Not to mention acing the college entrance exam and topping international joint exams—weren’t these accomplishments more significant than mingling with the entertainment circle?
Tong Luoyun utterly failed to understand what Si Fuqing was thinking.
“She’s bound to move into the film industry sooner or later,” the agent sighed, “Look at the bright side; you’re the senior, be generous.”
Tong Luoyun said coldly, “I can’t afford to be generous to her.”
Before the agent could speak again, an assistant rushed in out of breath and frantic, “Sister Tong! There’s trouble! Director Qu has spoken up!”
Tong Luoyun was startled, “What?”
“Qu Lingyun!” the assistant wiped the sweat off, stammering, “He, he retweeted the voting results, calling it a rogue list. Now, Sister Tong, you’ve been pushed onto the trending searches!”
Tong Luoyun’s expression changed, and she immediately took the phone from the assistant, opening Weibo.
A red “Hot” icon had already appeared in the trending column.
#QuLingyunTongLuoyun#
Clicking into the hashtag, the first post was Qu Lingyun’s merciless four words.
What a rogue list!
Qu Lingyun rarely posted on Weibo, but the comments had already broken fifty thousand.
[I’m dying of laughter, Director Qu personally busts the fraud, I never understood the point of these votes; as if being first means you get to act?]
[Tong Luoyun bought votes right? I watched as she rose two million votes within an hour—do you even have that many active fans?]
[Without commenting on Si Fuqing and Tong Luoyun’s professional abilities, just looking at their fanbases, how dare Tong Luoyun get more votes than Si Fuqing?]
[Tong Luoyun hasn’t forgotten that Si Fuqing was also the top scorer of NINE GOD and the international joint exams… How could you dare to compete with her in terms of fans?]
