Chapter 1194 I’ll See What You Can Do About This Now
However, in no time, someone said directly, “After all, Han Yisheng isn’t a celebrity from their company. Many of the people who acted in her previous television series were people from her own company. I don’t know why she didn’t choose any of them this time. But the male lead must have been ostracized because he isn’t from her own company. I think Han Yisheng was probably ostracized.”
Upon seeing this comment, everyone immediately bumped up this post.
“Among the celebrities from their company, none of them except Xue Yang can play the role of the male lead. It’s either because they’re not famous enough or because they have other contracts on hand. Are they pressuring Han Yisheng because they now want his popularity but aren’t happy about it either? That would be completely inexcusable.”
“Precisely. We support Han Yisheng.”
“Is Lin Che about to become a malignant tumor in the entertainment industry?”
“Let’s not be the main lead of their production anymore. I’ll see who else can act this role now.”
“Han Yisheng is so handsome. Why do they have to ostracize him? I won’t watch it if Han Yisheng isn’t in it. I think he’s the most suitable person to play this role.”
“I want to see who their company will ultimately choose.”
“They won’t let another one of their company’s celebrities be the male lead, right? I wouldn’t want to watch it then.”
As these topics started festering, they triggered countless speculations.
Lin Che scoffed as she read them. Then, she saw her phone start to ring. Unexpectedly, it was a call from Han Yisheng.
Lin Che smiled. What was he trying to do by calling her right now?
“Hello?”
“Lin Che, my company made me upload that Weibo post today. I wasn’t trying to do anything,” he said.
Lin Che continued smiling and kept her voice calm. Even she herself was in awe of her own acting skills right now. She was seriously impressive at dealing with all kinds of people.
“It’s fine. You’ve already posted it.”
Han Yisheng said, “If you haven’t found a male lead yet, we can still continue working together in private. I’ll inform my company.”
“And then? We’re going to pretend that the previous incident didn’t happen at all, right?”
“That’s right. To begin with, it was because my company had been a bit too extreme. But there was nothing I could do about it.”
Lin Che thought, Was it because his company had been too extreme?
Wasn’t it because he himself did not actually want to give up on this production? He simply wanted to give Lin Che and her staff a small warning. Then, he would seize the opportunity now to propose that he return, continue acting the role, and then say something about patching up. They would let bygones be bygones, right?
Subsequently, everyone would have to keep in mind that he was the one who had kept the peace. Only then would harmony be maintained in the production crew and only then can they continue filming the television serious. Thus, they had to treat him as their benefactor, right?
Well then, sorry. It had genuinely never occurred to her to let him return.
“Oh, why didn’t you tell me earlier? I thought you left out of anger, so…”
“No, no. Won’t everything be fine once I go back?”
“But, I’ve already agreed for someone else to be the male lead.”
“…”
Han Yisheng immediately got a bit angry. “You’re being…”
Lin Che continued posturing. “You have to tell me earlier next time. The actor is already going to join us. It won’t be easy for me to reject him anymore.”
Han Yisheng truly felt that he had been duped.
“Fine, fine. Lin Che, you’re doing this on purpose, right? You’ve got a male lead? I don’t believe you. Who is it? Tell us and let us see.”
Lin Che chuckled. “It’s a secret. Guess on your own.”
Han Yisheng said, “I’m actually looking forward to it.”
He really did not believe it. On the contrary, he felt that she definitely had not found anyone!
Lin Che was definitely puffing herself up at her own cost. In that case, it was up to her. Anyway, he had already said both nice and unpleasant words. Since she was not paying him any regard now, then they could do whatever they wanted.
Lin Che hung up the phone. She was so angry that she scoffed.
He still wanted to come back?
What did he take her production for?
Since she had already told him so, he could go wherever he wanted to.
But…
Indeed, she did not have a candidate for male lead yet.
She had been browsing for a long time but did not think that any of them were suitable.
More importantly, the person she selected for male lead absolutely could not have an image worse than Han Yisheng’s. The first impression that the audience had was the strongest and that strongest impression was of Han Yisheng. If they chose someone who paled in comparison to him, people would definitely criticize them. As a result, their choices were much more narrow.
His image had to be suitable and could not be worse than Han Yisheng’s. He even had to be of relatively similar popularity.
She searched for a long time but gave up in the end. She would think about it tomorrow.
However, the next day onwards, Xingyao began to add insult to injury.
Since Lin Che had already said that she would not change her mind, they were thinking only of using his withdrawal this time to hype him up. They could tread all over Lin Che and use her as leverage to increase Han Yisheng’s popularity.
When Han Yisheng appeared at an event, he did not hesitate to make insinuations. He told the media, “Everyone says that the waters in our industry are very deep. I’ve always felt that this shouldn’t be the case. But this time, it was truly my very first time encountering such an incident.”
The reporters asked for details. “What exactly did they do on set?”
Han Yisheng simply showed them a troubled expression. “Well, although I’ve already left the production, I still have to keep things confidential.”
“You’re still keeping things confidential even though you’ve left. You have such professional integrity.”
“Yes. A person must abide by his principles,” he said.
One of the reporters asked, “In that case, why don’t you disclose some details to us? We won’t report it. Just give us a bit of a hint.”
After looking completely troubled, Han Yisheng finally said, “Alright. To be honest, I’m not sure about other things. But it had something to do with a boy. I saw a boy give Lin Che a present. After that, she said I had to apologize…”
Hearing this, the reporters went into even more of a frenzy. What the hell. This was a huge piece of news.
What boy?
How old was this boy…
Was Lin Che in a relationship with a younger man?
“Who was that boy? What present did he give her?”
“Well… I won’t say anymore, haha.”
While watching the news, Lin Che genuinely could not believe what she was seeing.
What had happened to his supposed principles?
He had said it just like that. What principles?
Were those for show?
KG and the others had noticed this piece of news.
The moment Crooked Neck saw this, he immediately said, “Good gracious. KG, you’re on the news.”
KG let out a sound of affirmation.
Crooked Neck said, “Someone revealed that there is something going on between you and Sister Che. Quick, come see.”
Only then did KG look in his direction. Upon seeing what was being shown on the news, his first reaction was to frown.
Crooked Neck was still smiling. “Hehe. Even though there was no mention of your name, you’re the very first person among us to get onto the entertainment news. Pft, pft. Not bad. Your future is going to be great…”
However, when Crooked Neck finished speaking. KG immediately stood up without a sound.
“Hey, KG. Where are you going?”
Lin Che was still feeling vexed on set.
When KG unexpectedly called her.
She quickly answered the call, thinking that KG had probably seen the news.
KG said, “I’m sorry for what happened this time…”
He did not think that the matter would blow up to this extent.
Lin Che asked, “Why are you apologizing to me? You didn’t do anything wrong. You were helping me out. It’s because some things are a bit complicated in this industry.”
