Was this the rumoured 'universal appeal'?
Su Jin blinked, and then haplessly, she rubbed her temples as she let out a light and sneering chuckle at her nonsensical thought that had just come out of nowhere.
Speaking of which, Zhuo Junan might have contacted him at the very moment when that reporter, Zhou Tong, had posted her first Weibo text. Truly, it appeared that this film emperor was quick-witted and had great perception. He could perceive what Zhou Tong's motives were, and moreover, he also knew which sort of people could not be messed with.
"Zhuo Junan will take over Xue Kai's role of Mu Cheng in《Sunflower》," Lu Xi shook hands with him, "I am looking forward to a pleasant collaboration."
"Likewise," Zhuo Junan smiled as he continued, "many thanks to Director Lu for giving me this opportunity."
"You're welcome." Lu Xi's lips curled, "your work has been impressive."
As their gazes met, the two men chuckled.
The flickering of lights from the cameras of the reporters offstage converged into a huge flash and created a large shadow behind them. In the minds of the reporters, they had all assumed that for Zhuo Junan to take the role as the supporting male lead with his 'Film Emperor' status, these words were most likely a scripted response out of courtesy.
However, only the two men onstage knew of the true meaning behind this brief conversation.
Previously when the audition results had been first released, Zhuo Junan had been in an unpleasant mood as he grumbled a bit at his manager, Shen Na. However, as someone who had climbed up the ranks of stardom from the lowest rungs step by step, naturally, he had a definitive understanding of people and the ones that he could or could not afford to offend.
Besides the Lu Family young master Lu Xi, there was even the Su Family's Su Jin- these two people were definitely people he could not afford to offend.
Therefore, in actuality, he had only made a mild protest.
Yet who would have known that those very words he had spoken in a fit of anger would have been misconstrued horribly on Zhou Tong's Weibo.
When that Weibo text had appeared, he had astutely sensed that something was amiss. Although what seemed to be both implied and written was a protest of injustice for him, still, the target was renowned in the industry as the outstanding and wickedly genius of a director, Lu Xi! This was clearly a moral coercion of public opinion and simultaneously, utilising and dragging him along as a shield.
This matter was swiftly and clearly investigated. After all, when he had said all this, the only ones around him were two people; his manager, Shen Na, and his assistant. Shen Na had worked together with him for so many years, hence, they both knew each other like the back of their hands. Naturally, it could not be her. But then, after simply questioning the assistant, it was easily revealed that he had carelessly blurted out his rant to an outsider.
