Midnight Cinderella
Chapter 84
The production team of 'Secret' had probably gone against the flow recently. The male lead had just returned to the set, and now something had happened to the female lead.
Yu Yao's public relations team quickly started to deal with this matter.
However, this news was too explosive. They couldn't keep up with the speed of the netizens' comments.
Yu Yao held her phone and scrolled through Weibo.
The cause of the matter was a person who claimed to be Yu Yao's high school classmate. He said that Yu Yao was fake and that she used to be a delinquent when she was in school. He even posted many photos.
These photos showed Yu Yao smoking and drinking. There was also Yu Yao's flamboyant wine-red hair and flamboyant clothes.
There was also a picture of a tattoo on Yu Yao's waist. The person who posted the news even stamped it with the caption, "Those who have tattoos are definitely not decent people."
Because Yu Yao's image in the photos was too different from her on-screen image, it immediately attracted the attention of the netizens. Yu Yao's fans also reacted strongly.
"I smoke, I drink, I have tattoos, but I'm a good girl."
"I've been deceived for so long. Goodbye. I'm no longer a fan."
"It's only the first month of the year, and it's already so exciting?
(eating melon) "
"How should I say this? At least it means that Yu Yao didn't have plastic surgery!"
"Oh my god!
This is our school's Sister Chao!
Yu Yao has been in the industry for so many years, but I didn't recognize her!
She wasn't called Yu Yao at that time! "
"I'm unfollowed. (smiling emoji) As expected, QSG's fans will bring bad karma. (smiling emoji)"
"# Yu Yao's image collapses # Yu Yao please come out and apologize #"
"… I feel sorry for Movie King Feng and the cast of 'Secret'. However, Sister Yao's looks are still online. She actually shouted at this punk hairstyle. (kneeling emoji)"
"I actually feel that Yu Yao looks really handsome when she's smoking."
I'm impressed. "
"There are many underage Yu Yao's fans, right?
There are already fans who think that she looks handsome when she smokes. Shouldn't she be banned for inducing minors to smoke?
(smiling emoji) "
"The male and female leads of 'Secret' got into trouble one after another. (smiling emoji)"
"Hype."
Yu Yao flipped through the comments expressionlessly. Xiao Nan pushed the door open and walked in.
Glancing at her phone screen, Xiao Nan stood beside her and said, "Okay, don't look at it. We're already dealing with it. Don't respond."
Yu Yao said, "It's fine. Why don't you go with the flow and let me return to my original self?"
"Revert to your true self?" Xiao Nan laughed. "If you revert to your true self, what will happen to your variety show?
Don't forget that you're still a good girl on variety shows. "
Yu Yao felt a little irritated and subconsciously wanted to smoke a cigarette. Fortunately, she stopped herself in time.
Xiao Nan looked at her and said, "The production team has already contacted us. Fortunately, you signed a total of four episodes. Now there's only one episode left.
The show 'Star Lovers' will only start airing after the Lunar New Year. There's still a month before the Lunar New Year. In a month's time, news about you will die down. "
Yu Yao casually replied, "Yes."
"Even though this has happened, you still have to continue your work.
Stop scrolling through Weibo and adjust your mood. You still have to continue filming tomorrow. "
"Got it."
After Xiao Nan finished speaking, he walked out. Yu Yao stared at her phone for a while. Suddenly, she opened the drawer and took out a file from it.
This file was personally handed to her by Feng Jing during filming today. It contained a top-secret document about Meng Xingchuan.
Yu Yao read it again. There was a lot of information about Meng Xingchuan that couldn't be found on the Internet. It included his real height, weight, three measurements, his family members, and his grades when he was in school.
Feng Jing also helped her to organize the two girlfriends Meng Xingchuan had in college. Both of them were sweet and cute, very similar to Yu Yao's previous persona.
Yu Yao clicked her tongue. "This is tasteless."
Her eyes moved down a line. In the column of Meng Xingchuan's favorite anime characters, there were the words "Beautiful Warrior" written in large letters.
"Pfft." Although it wasn't the first time Yu Yao had seen it, she couldn't help but laugh.
He was such a big and tall idiot. How could he like a beautiful female warrior?
It seemed that there was a girl living in his heart.
Originally, she wanted to use this top-secret document to come up with a plan to capture Meng Xingchuan's heart. But now, she didn't have the time for this.
Meng Xingchuan also saw Yu Yao's old photos on Weibo. To be honest, Yu Yao was really good-looking. Even that burgundy hairstyle was not so unacceptable when set off by her appearance.
Maybe it was because smoky makeup was very popular in that era. There were several photos of Yu Yao with this kind of exaggerated smoky makeup. She had a high ponytail, a cigarette in her hand, and a rebellious look on her face.
He went to Yu Yao's Weibo to take a look. The comments there could be said to be a large-scale disaster scene.
Among the one million comments, there were those who supported her, those who stopped being fans, those who gloated, and those who were particularly unpleasant.
Not to mention a girl like Yu Yao, even a man like Meng Xingchuan felt disgusted when he saw those comments. He reported them all.
How was Yu Yao now?
Meng Xingchuan took his phone and opened Yu Yao's WeChat. After looking at it for a long time, he put the phone back.
Yu Yao's public relations team wrote a clarification and apology statement as fast as possible. Yu Yao looked at it. Although she was not very satisfied with the way they handled it, she still cooperated and posted it on Weibo.
Yu Yao V: I'm sorry for causing such a big commotion because of my matter.
First of all, the person in the photos is indeed me. I looked like this when I was in high school.
But as I said, this is me in high school. At that time, I had just turned 16. I was a little rebellious and imitated others to smoke, drink, and get tattoos.
After seven years, these photos were dug up again. When I saw the person in the photos, I felt a little ridiculous.
Sister Nan met me when I graduated from high school. In order to help me change these bad habits, she put in a lot of effort. Because of her help, there is the Yu Yao on the screen now.
In the four years since my debut, I have never smoked or drunk in front of the camera. I know that as a public figure, I should have a basic sense of social responsibility.
I am already 16 years old this year. I am no longer the childish 16 years old me.
Once again, I apologize for the commotion this time. I am sorry.
After Yu Yao posted this long paragraph, she attached a photo at the end. It was a photo of herself looking in the mirror just now.
In the photo, her back was facing the camera. She lifted her shirt, revealing a tattoo on her back.
When Xiao Nan asked her to remove this tattoo, she did not agree. Xiao Nan thought that the tattoo in this position was not easy to be discovered, so he let her do it.
This tattoo was probably the last of Yu Yao's stubbornness.
Although this photo was not in the public relations team's plan, she had already posted it. So … let's leave it at that.
Yu Yao's Weibo was quickly shared. Naturally, Feng Jing also shared it.
After Yu Yao saw it, she sent a message to him.
Yu Yao: Thank you.
Feng Jing: Don't be so polite. When I was in trouble, you also shared it for me.
Yu Yao laughed and replied to him: "It seems that the fengshui of our film crew is really bad."
Feng Jing: Haha, when the heavens are about to bestow a great responsibility on a man, he will first suffer hardships, work his muscles and bones, and starve his body and skin. This means that the box office will explode in the future.
Yu Yao: [Covering face]
Feng Jing: Don't worry. Smoking, drinking, and getting a tattoo is not a big deal. I even survived when I lost my mind. [Smile]
Yu Yao: Hahahahaha
Yu Yao: Thank you
Feng Jing: I already said that you don't have to be so polite.
Feng Jing: By the way, have you seen the information I gave you about Meng Xingchuan?
Yu Yao: Yes, I have. [Snickering]
Feng Jing: Then you can do it. [Snickering]
Yu Yao was silent for a long time after seeing this message. Then she sent a message to Feng Jing: "I know that Meng Xingchuan doesn't like the real me. I have to say that Sister Nan has created a really good persona for me. I have indeed attracted a lot of fans."
Feng Jing: I don't think so. With Meng Xingchuan's intelligence, he probably doesn't even know what he likes.
Yu Yao: [Smile]
Yu Yao: Actually, I have often encountered this kind of thing since I was a child. The things I like are always far away from me.
Just like when I was a child, I liked to look at the stars. I really want to pick the stars and hide them under my quilt so that they can light up my bed.
Feng Jing: I didn't expect Sister Yao to have such a girly side …
Yu Yao: [Cool]
Yu Yao: But when I grew up, I realized that you can't pick the stars.
This time, it was Feng Jing's turn to reply to her after a while.
Feng Jing: It's not impossible to pick the stars, as long as you stand tall enough.
Yu Yao was slightly stunned.
She thought about Feng Jing's words all night. The next day, when Xiao Nan drove her to the set, she was still thinking about it.
Xiao Nan saw that she was in a daze and thought that she was still worried about what had happened online. He comforted her: "After you posted on Weibo yesterday, the effect was better than we expected. Now that the netizens have calmed down, I believe that it will be over soon."
"Hmm." Yu Yao replied thoughtfully and fell silent again.
Halfway through the car, she finally called out to Xiao Nan: "Sister Nan."
"What's the matter?"
"I have something to discuss with you."
Yu Yao looked at Xiao Nan with the same serious expression as when she agreed to sign the contract with him. "I want to study abroad."
Xiao Nan didn't expect her to have such a plan. He looked at her in surprise: "Why do you want to go abroad?
This matter isn't that serious. What can you prove by using a photo of you from seven years ago?
People change. "
"No, it's not because of that," Yu Yao said. "I really want to study abroad."
Xiao Nan looked at her for a while and asked: "Give me a reason."
Yu Yao said: "Sister Nan, do you think I can only be a popular starlet?"
Xiao Nan put his hands on the steering wheel and didn't say anything.
There was no doubt that Yu Yao was capable, but the company had its own plans for its artists. Now that she was making money from popularity, she was doing well. She could make a lot of money while she was studying.
"I don't want to be like this. This time, I was lucky enough to work with Feng Jing and Director Guo. I think this is a very good opportunity. I also saw what a real filmmaker is from them.
I want to use this movie as a springboard to go further. "
She wanted to stand on the biggest and highest stage in the world.
