Just as their lips were about to meet, Yun Chuchu suddenly pulled away.
"Director, I feel this kiss is somewhat unreasonable..."
Yun Chuchu pushed Ou Yunchen away with determination, her face serious as she spoke.
"Given the master's reserved nature early on, even harboring feelings for Bi You, he wouldn't let her do something so overstepping. Thus, losing her later would only drive him to madness and regret not accepting this kiss today, breaking free from societal shackles. This would also deepen the unresolved tension between the master and Bi You, elevating their characters significantly."
Feng Ming, upon hearing Yun Chuchu's words, flashed a thoughtful look and replied, "You make a valid point. I'll discuss this with the screenwriter."
With that, he promptly walked away to make the call.
Ou Yunchen, his gaze darkening, bit his lip and whispered, "Are you doing this on purpose?"
Yun Chuchu blinked innocently and responded, "What are you saying? I don't understand!"
After speaking, she turned her head away, refusing to look at him.
Ou Yunchen couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.
This woman, clearly doing it on purpose!
Everyone saw the actor's smile, and for some reason, it felt rather sinister...
Soon, Feng Ming returned.
He said to Yun Chuchu and Ou Yunchen, "I just spoke with the screenwriter, and he loves your suggestion. So, right as Bi You is about to kiss the master, master, you must push her away."
Ou Yunchen, displeased, glanced at Yun Chuchu and nodded reluctantly, "Hmm..."
Once everything was communicated, the crew prepared to shoot again.
But just then...
The production assistant's face went pale as he rushed over to Feng Ming, "Director, there's trouble. Lin Xiner is spreading rumors about our crew and Miss Yun online; it's trending now."
Yun Chuchu quickly grabbed her phone from Lian Ge.
Upon opening Weibo, she indeed saw her name and the drama "Xian You" at the tail end of the trending topics—
**Yun Chuchu Bullying Newcomers, Snatching Roles**
**Yun Chuchu Brought Funding to Join the Cast**
**Dark Secrets of the 'Xian You' Crew**
Clicking on one of the trending topics, she saw a post from Lin Xiner, "The entertainment industry truly favors the capitalists; without money or connections, even if you've signed a contract and filmed half of it, you could still be replaced or even assaulted."
Lin Xiner then shared two photos of her swollen face.
In the comments, someone claimed that Lin Xiner had lost a role in the major IP "Xian You" to Yun Chuchu, who had allegedly beaten her along with others from the crew.
Yun Chuchu's actions immediately drew public ire, with Weibo users vehemently criticizing her.
**I'm not a fan of anyone, but Yun Chuchu's actions are truly disgusting.**
**I'm a fan of the original 'Xian You,' and Yun Chuchu's appearance is completely ruining it. As a fan of the book, I firmly boycott the movie.**
**I used to like Yun Chuchu for her looks, but after seeing what she did, I've decided to switch sides.**
Not just Lin Xiner's fans but Yun Chuchu's detractors and bystanders swayed by Lin Xiner's side of the story were voicing their disdain.
If this public relations crisis isn't managed well...
By the time "Xian You" is released, perhaps no one will want to see it.
"It's outrageous, does Lin Xiner really not understand why she was removed from the cast? And now she's spreading rumors online; it's infuriating!" Feng Ming also saw the online posts and was so angry he wanted to smash his phone.
Ou Yunchen saw the numerous posts darkening Yun Chuchu's reputation.
A sinister gleam flickered through his eyes as he pulled out his phone, ready to contact Chen Yi to delete the posts and handle the PR to protect Yun Chuchu's image.
But before he could make the call, he heard Yun Chuchu's calm voice, "What's the rush?"
Feng Ming hastily replied, "How can I not be anxious? If we don't manage this situation properly, we're in big trouble. I've put so much effort into this movie!"
He was very satisfied with his work.
If nothing else happened, this movie was set to be a massive hit.
He didn't want his hard work to be ruined by Lin Xiner's baseless allegations online.
Yun Chuchu's voice was light yet assertive, "Don't worry, I have a plan..."
Hearing this, Feng Ming's eyes lit up, urging her, "Then why don't you clarify it quickly?"
"No rush…" Yun Chuchu chuckled, appearing confident, "Let the situation ferment a bit longer."
"What are you waiting for?" Lian Ge, unable to comprehend Yun Chuchu's approach, asked anxiously.
Yun Chuchu smiled faintly, "The more people see Lin Xiner's allegations, the harsher they criticize, the more painful it will be when we prove them wrong. Besides... this is free publicity. We're not spending a dime to get so many people aware of 'Xian You.' In fact, we should probably thank Lin Xiner."
Feng Ming, considering her words, felt there was merit in waiting, although...
"What evidence do you actually have?" he asked anxiously.
Yun Chuchu's mysterious smile lingered, "You'll see soon enough."
Ou Yunchen, watching Yun Chuchu's cunning, couldn't help but smile, "Alright, I trust you…"
Seeing Yun Chuchu so sure of herself, though he didn't know what evidence she had, he felt an inexplicable trust in her charisma.
"I trust you too," Feng Ming added with a smile.
Yun Chuchu didn't expect the first to declare trust would be Ou Yunchen.
She glanced at him several times before finally looking away and posting on Weibo.
**Yun Chuchu: Right and wrong, justice resides in the hearts of the people.**
As soon as Yun Chuchu posted, people flocked to comment.
**Yun Chuchu Apologize to Lin Xiner…**
**Yun Chuchu Out of the Entertainment Industry…**
