When the two men released their embrace, the reporters next to them asked questions again:
"Li Tang, regarding the kiss between you and Gao Yuanyuan at the airport, do you have anything to say in response?"
"Are you and Gao Yuanyuan really in a relationship?"
"You and Fan Binbin broke up?"
Facing the barrage of questions, Li Tang had no choice but to stretch out his hands and press them in the air, shouting loudly: "Don't be anxious, everyone. Can you please say hello one by one?"
As he spoke, he looked back and then said: "In this case, everyone, please come inside. It's quite cold standing in the yard, so please go sit inside first."
The lobby of the small hotel is very small, with just a few wooden sofas. Zhao Luoyao, who was following Li Tang, led the reporters to sit down in the restaurant next to the lobby, and asked the waiter in the restaurant to make a cup of hot tea for everyone, and get some melon seeds, pastries and fruits.
When the reporters saw Li Tang acting like a tea party, they stopped rushing to ask questions and sat down one after another. Not to mention, I had just been standing in the yard for a long time. It was quite cold with the sea breeze, so I just had a cup of hot tea to warm my body.
"You're welcome, this is the famous Dingsheng cake here, it tastes very good, everyone should try it."
Li Tang greeted everyone warmly, and at the same time pushed the plate of Dingsheng cake on his table towards Yuan Lei, and said with a smile: "Yuan Lei, you should try it too, it's very delicious. Last time I went back to Gao Yuanyuan , I ate several pieces in one go.”
Yuan Lei's eyes lit up when she heard him actively mention Gao Yuanyuan, and she quickly said: "Teacher Li, you and Gao..."
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Tang: "By the way, why did you come to join in the fun this time? You didn't call me in advance before coming."
"Well……"
Yuan Lei was speechless for a moment and could only smile awkwardly. She couldn't tell Li Tang that she came here just for the "Kiss" report. She didn't call in advance because she was afraid of being rejected and made a sudden attack. In the end, she made a call when she found that she couldn't get in.
When Yuan Lei was about to find an excuse to speak, she saw Li Tang laughing and rushing in front of her: "It's okay. Now that you're here, I'll treat you to lunch. Don't tell me. Even though this is a small place, the seafood is good. They are all freshly caught by the fishermen here.”
After saying that, he also said to the reporters present: "Let's all come together at noon!"
"Thank you, Teacher Li!"
When they heard Yuan Lei talking about Teacher Li, it was hard for everyone to call him by his first name.
Then, everyone said at once: "Teacher Li, let's talk."
"Yes, yes, Teacher Li, if you have any inside information, please tell us."
"Mr. Li, I saw that the two companies you and Gao Yuanyuan belong to have issued official responses. Are you really planning to sue Zha Lang?"
In fact, these reporters are all very naughty, and they are particularly willing to lie to Li Tang in such a relaxed atmosphere.
Speaking of which, those who can be journalists these days must at least have a college degree. Among them are graduates of journalism majors from prestigious universities, and they are basically college students in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In those days, even a college diploma was valuable.
Don't look at the stars in the entertainment industry today who seem to be unattainable. Entertainment reporters like them are chasing after the stars all day long. But from a cultural perspective, they look down on celebrities.
Most celebrities are not highly educated, their moral standards are worrisome, and they are extremely superstitious. They are the kind of people who look glamorous on the outside but are useless on the inside. For this reason, they often take pleasure in fooling celebrities and getting words out of their mouths.
Since Li Tang became famous, his past history has long been dug up. Roughly speaking, his academic performance was very poor and he barely graduated from high school. As for the part about being admitted to the theater and entering the drama center, this kind of thing cannot be said nonsense, but the reason has long been spread in private.
Moreover, Li Tang has had a smooth journey. Most people think this is due to luck. Of course, no one can deny his acting skills. But what about acting? Some rely on talent, while others just happen to meet a few suitable roles. It cannot be said that good acting skills mean you are educated.
So they instinctively feel that you, Li Tang, are nothing more than that. Not to mention your IQ, at least you can crush you on the cultural level. To put it simply, it is to deceive and bury the trap, letting you step on the trap unknowingly, and then allowing them to obtain the material for the report.
Li Tang knew this very well. Accepting media interviews, especially interviews with bad intentions, is a test of one's logical thinking ability.
In my previous life, as a top student who was admitted to an Ivy League school, even though I dropped out of school to study acting, this is like being with big names in the technology industry like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. You only see people drop out of school, but you don’t. He was admitted to an Ivy League school. Therefore, Li Tang, who was admitted to an Ivy League school in his previous life, still has enough logical thinking ability to deal with reporters.
When faced with questions from reporters, he always smiled and answered various questions. Even if a few questions sounded harsh or even obviously offensive, he always spoke in a calm tone, and at most his expression became a little more serious.
The content of his answer basically revolved around the response notifications issued by the two companies this morning, and there was nothing new at all.
To be honest, Li Tang rarely accepts interviews except for movie conferences or roadshow promotions. Many of the reporters here today do not know him well. But after a "tea party", these reporters learned the lesson. After a long time of doing it, they turned out to have encountered an old fox. After a long time of doing it, it was just a piece of cake without any new ideas.
Especially the hug he gave Yuan Lei at the beginning had muddied the waters from the beginning. Everyone even took photos. You can't say that Li Tang and Yuan Lei also had a scandal, right?
And even if someone tried to deliberately ask irritating questions to provoke him, they would never fall for the trick and would always be polite. In the end, even the person asking the question felt a little embarrassed.
But it’s not without gain. At least I know a lot about Wang Xiaoshuai’s new film “Wandering” that Li Tang is currently filming, and I can write a report on it if I make do.
Generally speaking, the atmosphere is quite harmonious. A seafood dinner at noon plus a New Year red envelope for each person is not worth traveling all the way.
Throughout the entire interview session, Yuan Lei uncharacteristically did not ask a single question. Because when Li Tang hugged her enthusiastically, although she was a little dazed at first, when she woke up she knew that she was being used as a weapon by Li Tang. So she knew that asking was in vain.
Fortunately, the little girl's attitude was pretty good. When she said goodbye, she held Li Tang's hand and said with a smile, "Teacher Li, don't forget, you owe me a favor this time!"
After watching the reporters leave, Li Tang finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Although he always maintained a calm expression, his spirit was highly nervous, for fear of stepping into a pit if he was not careful.
"Teacher Li, Sister Bingbing called."
At this time, Zhao Luoyao came over and handed over her mobile phone, looking at the boss with a look of admiration.
She was present throughout the entire morning, witnessing her boss's verbal battle with others, and unknowingly deepened her understanding of her boss. On the surface, it seems that his boss is always at ease and graceful under the siege of many reporters. But if you think deeply, you will find that your boss is actually a very smart person.
This also made her secretly alert, don't try to fool her in the future. Just because the boss doesn't tell her sometimes doesn't mean that others don't know.
Li Tang took the phone and asked casually: "Did she say anything?"
"I just said I was looking for you, I didn't say anything...well, my tone just didn't seem as strong as yesterday."
Hearing the second half of the assistant's hesitant words, Li Tang couldn't help but smile: "Okay, I understand."
Teacher Jiang never called. Even if she didn’t see the news on the Internet for a while yesterday, after a day and a night of fermentation, the city has already been full of troubles. It is impossible for her not to know, and I believe she has also seen the relevant responses to refute the rumors. . But no matter what, Li Tang took the initiative to call.
As for Xiaopang, to be honest, among his few good friends, he is the one who feels the most real. He never hides his true emotions and never puts on pretense. If he is happy, he is happy, and if he is unhappy, he is unhappy.
After pondering for a while, he called Xiaopang first.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently on a call, please call again later..."
Hey, the line is actually busy.
…
"Sister Hong, I know. From yesterday to now, several reporters have called me. Anyway, my response is the same: I don't know, I don't know. He and I are just good friends. We don't admit it anyway. .”
Fan Xiaopang was lying on the bed and talking on the phone with his agent Chang Jihong. Although he said this, his heart was full of grievances.
"That's a good thing to say! As I said, the overall situation must be taken into account. Since you don't want to make it public yet, you can only do this. Moreover, Shengtang Film and Television and Gao Yuanyuan's agency have also issued statements refuting the rumors. As long as no one deliberately does it Regardless of the wind and rain, it is estimated that the heat will pass in a few days. Anyway, remember not to be too impulsive, and this man is always a docile donkey, so you have to be more compliant with him. The more you compete with him, the more , the more he will do the opposite..."
Chang Jihong was nagging on the phone. After all, the scandal between Li Tang and Gao Yuanyuan also involved Fan Xiaopang. She was just afraid that Xiaopang would get mad on impulse.
These are all things that old men have talked about for a long time. Little Fatty lay on the bed and hummed absentmindedly, but his thoughts were flying far away.
She was thinking that if it didn't work out, she would just go public with it, as that guy would always attract bees and butterflies, and it would also stop the thoughts of those vixens outside. But then I thought about it, I have worked hard for so many years, and now I have some hope, so I can't fall short.
After all, the disclosure of love affairs is still very lethal for an actress like her who has finally moved to the second line and is making an impact on the front line.
Chang Jihong on the other end of the phone probably heard that she was absent-minded, so she said: "Anyway, I said everything that needs to be said. There are some things that you still have to consider by yourself. Don't forget that "Jade Guanyin" will be broadcast next month. .”
This sentence made Xiaopang suddenly wake up. For her, "Jade Guanyin" is her only chance at the moment. Whether she can become famous depends on this. If she stars in two Haiyan dramas in a row and encounters Waterloo, then Her acting career is probably coming to an end. I wonder who will dare to use her in the future.
So as soon as she heard this sentence, she sat up from the bed and said seriously into her mobile phone: "Sister Hong, I understand!"
After hanging up the phone, Xiaopang sat on the bed and froze for a while, the look in his eyes slowly changed from confusion to determination. Finally, she couldn't help but yawned loudly. It was all because of that damn man. She didn't even get a call yesterday, which kept her from sleeping well all night.
She casually put her phone on the bedside table and prepared to catch up on some sleep. As soon as the person lay down and before he could close his eyes, he heard a "buzzing" sound coming from the bedside table.
Since yesterday afternoon, reporters had been receiving harassing calls one after another. Now she picked up the phone irritably and was about to hang up when she saw the name displayed on the screen and sat up suddenly.
She clutched the phone tightly, paused for a moment, and then answered the call.
"Hey, who were you calling just now? It took you so long?"
Hearing that familiar and unbeatable voice, Xiaopang's brewing emotions instantly dissipated and he blurted out: "Do you care who I call?"
The person on the other end of the phone had obviously been prepared for it, and actually smiled and said, "What are you doing, are you still angry?"
"Hmph, what do you think?"
Some things often sound good when you think about them, but when you actually face them, you still can't help but reveal their true colors. Xiaopang is like this at this time.
"Forget it, you must have seen that statement. She and I really have nothing to do. As for the photo, it was just a goodbye hug when we sent her off to the airport. I didn't expect to be so unlucky that it was taken." Li Tang smiled bitterly on the other end of the phone. road.
"real?"
"Why did I lie to you?"
"Then why doesn't she go home for the Chinese New Year and why she still spends the Chinese New Year with you on the set?"
"Well...it's not that we can't say this. Her parents are on a business trip during the New Year, and there is no one at home. It's for this reason that she came to visit the class. Since she is alone, she might as well spend the New Year with everyone on the set! "
"Who goes on a business trip during the Chinese New Year? Are you lying?"
How old is Gao Yuanyuan? I heard that she has a brother who is six years older than her. According to this calculation, her parents are at least in their fifties and almost sixty. Why do they have to go on a business trip during the New Year?
Xiaopang didn't believe it at all.
"Tsk, my parents are both high-level intellectuals and work in state security units. There are some things that are difficult to say to the outside world. Do you understand?"
"..."
"Okay, I also received a lot of reporters this morning, and I think things should be over now. Don't be jealous, she and I are really fine!"
"Tch, take one bite of hers. Who is she?"
"Anyway, that's how things are. If you still have this attitude, then we can't talk anymore." Li Tang said confidently on the other end of the phone.
Precisely because he wasn't eating mutton, he didn't feel any psychological burden at all. It’s not like I always look like I don’t have enough confidence every time I talk about Teacher Jiang.
"Then...then when will you come back?" Xiaopang's tone softened immediately.
"It's almost there. It's estimated that it will be completed in four or five days. But I have to go back to Shanghai first..."
As soon as a person catches a cold, his resistance decreases. Today he suddenly had stomach pain again. It is always distended and aching. I have no appetite yet. I drank a bowl of porridge all day. I am really not in good spirits. I will stop coding this chapter. Stop, the quality is worrying, but it won’t work if I don’t update it. I’m already full of leave requests for this month, I hope you can forgive me!
