There were too many reporters, and they seemed well-prepared.
They even knew the details about Qu Ran very clearly.
Qu Ran was also keeping an eye on Ye Shaohua’s situation. Seeing a female reporter getting too close to Ye Shaohua, she was about to reach out and pull her back.
But Ye Shaohua handled it herself.
Just as a microphone was about to poke her in the face, she directly reached out and gripped the reporter’s hand.
“No,” Ye Shaohua stared at the female reporter and uttered two cold words. “The path Qu Ran is going to walk, no one can copy.”
This statement seemed abrupt, but the reporters picked up on other implications.
“So, it’s true that you deliberately want to promote Qu Ran? And have him follow Yu Qingjiu’s old path?”
“Who told you he’s following an old path?” Ye Shaohua lifted her chin, looking quite proud. “The person I, Ye Shaohua, decide to promote—within five years, I guarantee that no newcomer in this industry will reach the heights he will.”
When she spoke, she always carried an overbearing, confident aura.
For some reason, the reporters who had just been shoving microphones in her face now seemed a bit deflated.
Still, they murmured among themselves.
“Is she crazy? Daring to say something like that out loud?”
“Look at Qu Ran’s expression, he’s actually pretty calm?”
“That’s normal, I guess. That CEO Ye has never taken the normal path. You know her background. Plus, some bloggers are currently exposing those shady things about Feisheng.”
Yu Qingjiu’s agent stood beside him, lowering his voice with a laugh. “Qingjiu, look at them. It’s really funny. They think they can just find any newcomer and trample you underfoot. I doubt they even realize where they actually stand right now.”
Yu Qingjiu’s expression was complicated, but he didn’t say anything.
The agent and assistant chattered on, thinking that with this whole Ye Shaohua and Qu Ran affair, they could get Yu Qingjiu another wave of trending searches and boost his popularity even more.
However, before the smiles on their faces could fully bloom, they froze the next moment.
Seeing the others back down, that female reporter couldn’t help but ask one last question. “Then why did CEO Ye bring Qu Ran here today? He’s a newcomer. You wouldn’t happen to know Yu Qingjiu is coming, so you’re specifically here to ride on his coattails, would you?”
“CEO Ye is here, naturally, for Qu Ran’s role!” Director Yu finally walked out from inside. He had clearly heard from the staff about what was happening outside and came out specifically.
Hearing the reporter’s aggressive question, he spoke up directly.
His voice was loud, startling most of the people present.
Yu Qingjiu stared blankly in that direction, looking at Ye Shaohua. He could hardly believe she had actually managed to secure a role from Director Yu.
The female reporter who had been speaking so confidently just a moment ago looked at Director Yu with a bewildered expression. “Qu Ran will also appear in ‘Wanshen Cangqiong’?”
“Announcing that is precisely why we’re here today,” Director Yu said very calmly. “Qu Ran will be playing the lead male role in ‘Wanshen Cangqiong’.”
This statement dropped a bomb right into the middle of the crowd.
“Director Yu, how could Qu Ran be cast in such a big production?” The speaker was a well-known golden agent in the industry, currently representing an acclaimed actor. He was smiling, but his gaze towards Qu Ran was full of scrutiny. “Is he the lead you chose after turning down two other best actors?”
For a major production, a completely unknown newcomer landing the lead role—that was indeed explosive news.
Everyone would ask the same question—what makes that newcomer so special?
Hearing this voice, Director Yu glanced at Yu Qingjiu with a knowing smile. “What makes him so special? CEO Ye, someone is asking why ‘Wanshen Cangqiong’ chose Qu Ran as the lead male role.”
