Chapter 120: The Treatment of People
In the past few days, the music video for the movie’s theme song was finally released on various media platforms.
It was more like a trailer for the movie, rather than a music video.
Along with the Veiled Queen’s moving singing voice in the trailer, various scenes of Fang Mo’er and Lang Qi had been edited in.
As Bai Rong’s scenes were edited out, the main story now revolved around the male and female lead.
In the video, Fang Mo’er and Lang Qi were like a couple. In addition, Fang Mo’er’s acting skills were on point.!!
Whenever she was acting with Lang Qi, Lang Qi did not overshadow her at all.
This surprised the netizens.
However, Lang Qi’s fans were still full of malice towards Fang Mo’er.
“Although Fang Mo’er’s amateur level is too low, and is bringing down Lang Qi’s level, I’ll let you go on account of your good looks.”
“I’m here to see Bai Rong. Why are there so few scenes of Bai Rong? Did someone cut them out?”
“What’s so good about a newcomer wannabe?”
“I’m here to see Brother Lang Qi. Fang Mo’er has benefited a lot this time. She’s using the popularity of this movie to rise to the top. But, what right does she have to be given the female lead role?”
Lang Qi’s fans felt that Fang Mo’er was not worthy of acting with Lang Qi.
Bai Rong’s fans felt that Fang Mo’er was relying on her ability to flatter and bully others. It seemed that Bai Rong was so soft that was being bullied. She was clearly a star, yet she still had to give way to a newcomer. In the end, the scenes she had acted in had all been cut down to a very small number.
In the morning, Fang Mo’er was a little depressed when she saw the comments of the netizens.
Recently, the movie’s release had already been scheduled.
It was expected to be officially released in a week’s time, just after the broadcast of the variety show “Celebrities’ Challenge.”
Within the next few days, as the female lead, Fang Mo’er had to cooperate with the various promotions for the movie.
At the promotional event today, Bai Rong had deliberately worn the same color dress as Fang Mo’er.
Two pure white figures stood together.
One was sweet and charming while the other was mature and flamboyant. It was hard to tell who was more like the female lead.
“May I ask, what memorable experience was there for you during the filming process?” The reporter asked.
Bai Rong smiled gently at the camera. “There were a few times when there were some dangerous situations, but it has been deeply etched in my memory now. Everyone knows that I never used a stand-in during filming. There was once when I was feeding a tiger, I was chased by the tiger and almost got bitten. There was also one time when I fell off my horse and was hospitalized for a few days. Everyone knows about this.”
Bai Rong kept on recounting the various dangers she had faced during the production. Coupled with her inspirational description of the events, she came across as a person who would persevere no matter how difficult it was.
In an instant, she presented herself in the image of a dedicated person.
When the reporters questioned Fang Mo’er later, What Fang Mo’er wanted to say, had already been said. She had no choice but to repeat the same words. She had been chased by a tiger and been shot at, a few times. She had also fallen off her horse…”
Fang Mo’er’s words were basically the same as Bai Rong’s.
In fact, the one who had had to face the most danger had been Fang Mo’er. She had climbed over a wall and then had to jump off the wall without any protection. She was then caught by the male lead, so the two of them had to look at each other affectionately.
If they had not been careful, she would have broken her legs.
Bai Rong had only been frightened when the horse had suddenly started running and thrown her off.
On the other hand, Fang Mo’er had ridden a crazy horse across the grassland. In the end, she risked being shot by a bullet before she had finally fallen off the horse.
In the show, Fang Mo’er had naturally been the one who had had the most scenes with the tiger.
Bai Rong had only needed to feed the tiger once.
Fang Mo’er had needed to ride on the tiger’s back in the show.
However, the reporters did not have any reaction even after hearing that.
In their eyes, Bai Rong was weak and delicate, so it was amazing that she could do that.
However, if Fang Mo’er said the same thing again, it was considered that she was just putting on a show.
Even though Fang Mo’er had truly experienced it, the people who were favored by the media would still be praised no matter what they said.
On the other hand, even though she was the female lead, she was ignored and rarely given any questions to answer.
The publicity event made it seem as if Bai Rong was the female lead.
In the end, Bai Rong had even pushed Fang Mo’er aside and stood in the middle with a sweet smile on her face.
“You’re still a newbie now. When everyone sees your acting skills later, you’ll be recognized by everyone.” After the interview, Lang Qi had consoled Fang Mo’er.
Fang Mo’er wanted to say that she was not in a hurry.
After all, the movie would be released in a few days.
Moreover, it was not like she had not experienced the feeling of being popular before.
That night.
Fang Mo’er was huddled in the hall, having prepared all sorts of snacks and drinks in front of her, as she waited to watch the variety show “Celebrity’s Challenge”.
At the same time, Xiao Tian and Shen Yue would be watching it together with her.
“Tonight, you will witness how I defeated Bai Rong!” Fang Mo’er said proudly.
The variety show began.
The Veiled Queen had already prepared a delicious dish that looked and tasted good. Compared to the other two guests, the Veiled Queen was practically a chef.
Xiao Tian smiled and said, “Big sister, you are so amazing!”
Shen Yue also said, “It’s only understandable that Lang Qi doesn’t know how to cook. However, I didn’t expect Bai Rong to be such a rookie when it comes to cooking. I’m dying of laughter.”
This spoke directly to the hearts of the majority of the audience as well.
