Chapter 51.1
Editor: Jodi
Indeed, according to Yi Ran’s own words, Lin Qin was the Cannes Film Movie Emperor while he was just a small traffic star without any works. Their levels of fame weren’t in the same league, so Lin Qin had no reason to lower himself to embarrass him.
However Yi Ran still continued, “What is you don’t have any reason to do so! You’re just jealous that I’m with Fang Ming Hui now!”
When Lin Qin heard these words, he couldn’t help but pause. However it wasn’t because Yi Ran had touched a sore spot. After all, Fang Ming Hui could be with whomever he wanted and Lin Qin even wished Fang Ming Hui would stay as far away from his life as possible. His pause was because Yi Ran’s intelligence left him amazed.
He was cherishing a scoundrel like a treasure and thought that everyone in the world did the same thing. He couldn’t really understand what he was thinking.
However he had good manners, so he didn’t burst into laughter in front of Yi Ran. He explained patiently, “No, why would I be jealous of you being with Fang Ming Hui?”
Actually, it wasn’t surprising that Yi Ran would have such thoughts. After all, whenever a lesser known star got close to Fang Ming Hui, it was as if they had gained a one-way ticket to fame within the industry. Fang Ming Hui was generous and supportive, and when he decided to support someone, he would shower them with all sorts of good resources.
The reason Jin Feiyun became a well known rising star in the industry was because she got close to him when she returned to the country, and he invested a lot in her.
It was just that Jin Feiyun was someone who aimed high and coveted something that didn’t belong to her and in the end turned out to be a flash in the pan and had now been blacklisted completely by the entertainment industry, with her company having put her on the shelf.
And Yi Ran, seemed to be using a similar strategy Jin Feiyun had used?
Regardless of what Lin Qin said, Yi Ran was adamant that he had tripped him and demanded an apology from him no matter what.
Although Lin Qin had social anxiety, he wasn’t foolish. Initially, he might have thought that Yi Ran had really fallen, but now, seeing how stubborn he was being, he realized that this was him putting on a show of dominance.
A guest trying to assert dominance over the host? He really had some nerve.
Lin Qin wasn’t good at handling such situations, and so had been thinking of asking Meng Chao for help. However he changed his mind. He would most likely encounter more of such situations in the future in the entertainment industry, and if he asked Meng Chao for help every time, wouldn’t he be too tired? So gritting his teeth, he looked at the photographer then took the initiative to go and talk to the PD.
“Excuse me…” He stammered a little at first, however he realized that once he started speaking, things became much simpler. “Please did you happen to capture the scene where Yi Ran fell just now? If you did, could you please retrieve the footage?”
There were three camera directors present, and at Lin Qin’s request, they all retrieved their footage. Two camera angles had improper positioning- it had captured Yi Ran’s fall but not the movement of his feet, so they couldn’t prove whether Lin Qin had stretched his foot to trip him or not.
Fortunately, one of the PDs standing farther away had captured their full-body images, hence when they got to the part where Yi Ran fell, it was clear that he had fallen deliberately.
It turned out that Lin Qin hadn’t stretched his foot to trip Yi Ran and Yi Ran hadn’t kicked any stones. He had intentionally staged the fall, only to coincidentally land on a stone on the ground, which made this self-directed and acted fall look incredibly convincing.
He had probably put all his acting skills into this performance.
Even though his lie had been exposed, Yi Ran didn’t show a hint of embarrassment. He simply carried on as if to say, ‘so what if I lied, so what if I slandered Lin Qin? What can you do to me?’
The reason for him being this confident was because he believed that Fang Ming Hui was backing him up.
However he didn’t realize that his actions today had disgraced Fang Ming Hui, so how could Fang Ming Hui possibly support him now?
Fang Ming Hui moved to distance himself from him, however after looking at Lin Qin, his hand froze in mid-air.
Yi Ran was scheming, so he could use him to isolate Lin Qin to make him know that in this entertainment world, if he wanted to develop well, then it was best and important to stick close to him.
If Lin Qin wanted to stay famous in the entertainment world for a long time, as long as he was willing to come to him, he would provide resources that he could hardly dream of or be able to get in this lifetime.
Thinking this way, his attitude towards Yi Ran suddenly changed to a more friendly one, then he brushed the matter aside casually as he said, “Yi Ran is still young, so it’s natural that he would be a bit immature. Be more understanding.”
Fang Ming Hui was an investor in ‘We Are Together’, hence what he said held a lot of weight. The director’s team couldn’t afford to offend him over a minor celebrity, so they just laughed it off with ‘hahaha’s’ pretending as if nothing had happened.
Even Lin Qin, who had been slandered for no reason didn’t receive an apology.
And this was what Fang Ming Hui wanted him to see— the power of capital.
Fang Ming Hui’s obvious indulgence only fueled Yi Ran’s arrogance, and when he passed by Lin Qin again, he snorted and rolled his eyes at him.
The corners of Fang Ming Hui’s lips hooked up as he smiled at him, a smile that in Lin Qin’s eyes, was very greasy.
