Chapter 902 Can’t Slander Him!

“Okay!” Fang Qiu nodded and looked at Director Chen, saying, “I agree to act, but I have two requirements.”

He agreed!

Seeing Fang Qiu had agreed, Chen Xiaogang and Zhao Rulong immediately became excited.

“Feel free to ask for anything. I can meet all of your requirements,” Chen Xiaogang quickly said, patting his chest.

“First,” Fang Qiu no more stood on ceremony and said seriously, “I need to see the script in advance. I’ll play only if the script is good.”

He had to ensure that the script could show the style of a chivalrous man faithfully, instead of being made up.

“No problem!” As the chief scriptwriter, Zhao Rulong immediately nodded and said, “I guarantee it will make you satisfied. If not, I will amend it until you are satisfied!”

Director Chen Xiaogang also nodded his head in agreement.

“Second,” Fang Qiu nodded and said, “the action director should be recommended by me.”

Hearing this, Director Chen Xiaogang was stunned.

The action director?

It was the key to the success of martial arts movies!

“Brother, when I began to prepare for this movie, I had basically decided on all the staff members before I began to contact actors. That is to say, before today, I have already come into contact with an action director. It is Master Li, a powerful senior of martial arts with a very high position in the entertainment industry,” Chen Xiaogang quickly said.

The implication was that it was a bit difficult to fulfill Fang Qiu’s second demand.

Chen Xiaogang hoped Fang Qiu could make a concession.

Unexpectedly, Fang Qiu shook his head and said immediately after hearing Chen Xiaogang’s words, “I hope to show the real kung fu!”

He hoped that the real kung fu of Wulin could be shown.

He wanted everyone to see what real kung fu was!

“Real kung fu?”

Hearing that, Chen Xiaogang was shocked. He asked, “Who?”

Fang Qiu pointed to himself.

“You?”

Chen Xiaogang was stunned for a moment and then became embarrassed.

Did Fang Qiu not only agree to act in the film but also plan to act as the action director?

“Brother, I’m making a movie. Don’t play with me!

“Or you didn’t agree to act at all!”

“Wait a minute.”

Hearing that, Fang Qiu smiled and took out his mobile phone to surf the Internet. He found the video of Chen Cong’s performance of martial arts at school last year, handed it to Chen Xiaogang, and asked, “Director Chen, what do you think of this?”

Chen Xiaogang quickly began watching it with doubt.

Zhao Rulong also paid attention to it.

After watching it, both of them were shocked.

Their eyes lit up when they looked at Fang Qiu.

“That’s amazing. It was instructed by you?” Chen Xiaogang asked.

But he was still not convinced in his heart. After all, mastering kung fu was not sufficient to be an action director!

Otherwise, finding an action director would be a piece of cake!

“It’s just showy but impractical.” Fang Qiu smiled faintly.

“Is this still showy?” Zhao Rulong asked in surprise.

“The actions and smoothness can not be completed so splendidly at all unless one is a top master of martial arts,” Chen Xiaogang agreed.

“A real master is much more powerful than this,” Fang Qiu said.

“Are you a master?” Chen Xiaogang looked at Fang Qiu in surprise and disbelief.

“No,” Fang Qiu shook his head and added, “but I know them. So I want to recommend the action director! I will show you what real kung fu is!”

“Well…”

Director Chen Xiaogang hesitated for a moment and turned to him again. “Are you sure that you’re going to recommend the action director?”

Fang Qiu nodded.

He insisted on this point.

Seeing that, Chen Xiaogang gritted his teeth and said, “I have to return to consult this carefully before making the final decision.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for your answer.” Fang Qiu nodded.

He knew that a movie involved various aspects which could not be decided at once.

Chen Xiaogang said, “Well, I will let Zhao Rulong write down the script first. As for the action director, I will answer you after the end of the year. What do you think?”

“Okay, no problem!” Fang Qiu nodded in agreement.

“Alright.” Director Chen Xiaogang smiled. When pouring the wine for everyone, he said, “The dishes have already turned cold. I’ll ask the chef to change them. Let’s have a nice drink!”

“You don’t have to. Just heat them,” Fang Qiu said hurriedly. “It’s shameful to waste so much food.”

“Okay!”

Chen Xiaogang cast a surprised look at Fang Qiu.

He didn’t expect him to be so frugal.

He couldn’t help thinking more highly of Fang Qiu in his heart.

Without more words, he smiled and asked the waiter to heat them again.

When the dishes were served again, they ate and talked happily with each other.

After the meal, the four of them left together.

However, as soon as they walked out of the tea room, they saw a paparazzo hiding in a car across the street. The paparazzo quickly recorded everything with a camera and drove away immediately.

A staff member went forward and asked, “Director Chen, should we catch him?”

Hearing this, Director Chen Xiaogang immediately turned to look at Fang Qiu. Obviously, he was seeking Fang Qiu’s opinion.

To his surprise, Fang Qiu shrugged, indicating that he didn’t mind.

“Then let him go,” Chen Xiaogang smiled and informed the staff member. After that, he turned around and shook hands with Fang Qiu.

In fact, Chen Xiaogang had long known that there was a paparazzo. If it was harmful to him, he would ask someone to drive the paparazzo away as soon as possible. Since he hadn’t, it meant that it was beneficial to him.

Being exposed was the best way to promote a movie especially for him who wanted to make an excellent movie again.

The appearance of the paparazzo was the best way to promote both Director Chen Xiaogang himself and the movie he was about to begin shooting.

Such a great publicity means could help him maintain the attention of the movie for free. He had no reason to stop the propaganda.

As expected, in the evening, the paparazzo, who had not received the public relation money, immediately began to expose the news on the Internet.

“Amazing! Director Chen Xiaogang, Scriptwriter Zhao Rulong, and Fang Qiu are having a meal together. Li Huawen, the director of the New Year’s Gala of this year, is also accompanying them!”

As soon as the news came out, it was reposted by countless public accounts.

In just five minutes, Weibo was flooded with the news!

The attention rose sharply even like an ignited rocket.

As the news traveled, the fans of Run Wild&Survive and Fang Qiu all burst into an uproar!

“Dear God, is it the concrete proof?”

“Good news comes one by one. First, Fang Qiu participated in the variety show and had brought it far more attention than before. Then, the ratings of the variety show have gone up rapidly. Next, there came the good news that the famous director Chen Xiaogang was going to make a movie about Yang Yizhi. Now, there’s the news that Fang Qiu is going to act in the film! What I have always dreamed of is going to finally happen!”

“Great. With the skills Fang Qiu has shown on the show, he is definitely qualified to play the leading role.”

“Haha, it’s just as I thought. Fang Qiu is perfect to act in the film.”

“I didn’t expect that Fang Qiu would act. I’m looking forward to the film!”

Meanwhile, Fang Qiu returned to the hotel and took a shower. When he was about to rest, his mobile phone suddenly rang. “Beep-beep-beep…”

He took it out and had a look.

It was Liu Qingshi, the host of Run Wild&Survive.

“Hello?” Fang Qiu answered the phone.

“Master Fang, are you going to act in Director Chen Xiaogang’s new movie?” Liu Qingshi’s voice, filled with surprise, came over through the mobile phone.

“It’s just a meeting with Director Chen. It hasn’t been decided yet,” Fang Qiu said.

“You are not bad.” Liu Qingshi laughed loudly and added, “You must seize such a good opportunity. You mustn’t leave it to others, okay? When the time comes, we’ll be able to rely on you.”

“Uh… I’ll try my best.” Fang Qiu gave a wry smile.

However, as soon as he hung up the phone, Ying’er called him up, followed by Zheng Weilian, Huang Huachao, Gu Jianguo, and Zhang Junhe.

Their purpose was the same as Liu Qingshi’s. First, they wanted to confirm if Fang Qiu was going to act in the movie. And then they all indicated that they looked forward to riding on his coattails. Fang Qiu responded to them patiently one by one.

At the same time, many stars in the entertainment circle were annoyed because of this.

“Fuck, it’s this Fang Qiu again!”

“Why is he everywhere?”

“You’ve gone too far. You’d better go back to be a traditional Chinese Medicine doctor. Why did you come to our entertainment circle for no reason?”

“Crossing industries to rob, do you have any moral integrity?”

Many celebrities in the entertainment circle were competing for the opportunity to participate in Director Chen Xiaogang’s new movie.

Since the news of the movie came out, they had begun to use all kinds of means to fight for it privately.

They were still striving for the opportunity. However, it was gotten by an outsider and even a traditional Chinese Medicine doctor first.

Angry!

Aggrieved!

Speechless!

They had those feelings at that moment.

“However, since you dare to take our roles, we will slander you!”

So they all employed Internet trolls to slander Fang Qiu.

They said that Fang Qiu was not good at acting, that he would definitely mess up such a big movie, and so on.

Although they did hire Internet trolls, they couldn’t slander Fang Qiu at all!

Those Internet trolls were familiar to Fang Qiu’s fans. In the beginning, they could barely slander him. But as Fang Qiu’s fans and passers-by who tended to like Fang Qiu became more and more powerful, those Internet trolls had been useless.

As soon as the Internet trolls started slandering Fang Qiu, they were surrounded and cursed by Fang Qiu’s fans without further ado!

Where there were Internet trolls, there would be the army of Fang Qiu’s fans. The Internet trolls, who had held a place in the Internet world, were unexpectedly beaten by Fang Qiu’s fans so hard that they could not return a blow!

This scene became an Internet wonder.

After seeing this, the onlookers were amazed.

The stars were exhausted.

“Who on earth is the star?

“Who makes a living from fans?

“Why do you have so many fans?”

The Internet had been bustling all night.

“Beep, beep, beep…”

The next day, early in the morning, Fang Qiu was having breakfast in the hotel when he suddenly received a call from the press.

“Hello, Manager Zhang?” Fang Qiu answered the phone.

“Hello, Mr. Fang Qiu.” Zhang Xingjie’s voice came. “Excuse me, your book has been finished. If it’s convenient for you, I’d like to invite you to come here and have a look at it. If there’s anything wrong with it, we can modify it.”

“The book is ready?”

Fang Qiu counted the days and found that it was indeed almost a month. He immediately said, “I’m happened to be in the capital. I’ll be there in a minute.”

After having a quick breakfast, he immediately left the hotel and rushed to the press.

The road in the capital was relatively clear in the morning.

Twenty minutes later, Fang Qiu, with a cap and a mask, arrived at the press.

Zhang Xingjie, the manager of the press, was waiting at the door again.

As soon as he saw Fang Qiu, he immediately took Fang Qiu to his office.

“This is the finished book. Please take a look and see if there’s anything you want to modify.”

After entering the office, Zhang Xingjie invited Fang Qiu to sit down. Then he immediately picked up the new book from the desk and handed it to Fang Qiu for a check.

Fang Qiu took the book.

Quickly, he looked at it carefully from the cover of the book to the inside pages as well as the words and pictures, which were all very good.

Not a single word he had written had been changed.

Only the illustrations were redrawn by someone. These illustrations were especially exquisite and technical. The herbs in the picture looked vivid at first glance. It was really good.

After reading it, Fang Qiu said with a satisfied smile, “Not bad. It’s OK!”

“That’s good.” Zhang Xingjie immediately nodded with a smile and said, “Since there is no problem and no need to change anything, it will be ready to be sold in about five days. Before the release, do you want to hold a book launch?”

For Zhang Xingjie and the press, the publicity effect of a book launch was extremely great, especially when Fang Qiu occupied the trending list on Weibo again in the past two days. The effect of the book launch was definitely much better than spending a lot of money to promote it.
