Chapter 152: The Director’s Post
Great! Now everyone became onlookers on the internet. Nobody was filming.
When Liu Man was still in the crew, Tang Tu was indeed abnormally giving her special treatment. All of these things were obvious to everyone: after the filming, he put on her his own down coat to keep her warm, he carefully guided her when playing the piano, and he wanted to help her drink her portion of wine under everyone’s watch. If he claimed it was only the upperclassman’s care for the younger sister, who would believe it?
Many people started suspecting his actions a long time ago. However, to not make Tang Tu an enemy and keep their job, they didn’t spread this around.
Everyone was wondering who hated Tang Tu so much to send all this information to Newsbreaker Zhang Daqiang. This person must’ve wanted Tang Tu dead!
The staff thought this person must also be in the cast, and they started predicting his identity.
No wonder Tang Tu asked for a day on break today. He must’ve gone to the capital to watch Liu Man’s performance. At this point, if he still meets with Liu Man, they would both be goners.
Originally, “The Sound of the Wind”’s filming stage was very low-profile. They only faced the journalists shortly at the opening ceremony, but they leaked no other information afterward.
Usually, other casts would make a professional Wei Bo account to advertise the cast, but Ye Zian’s personality was aloof and indifferent, so he didn’t like to make messy s online. Ye Zian thought the film’s quality was the most important thing. As long as the movie was great when it gets released, audiences would naturally come to watch it.
As a result, Tang Tu and Liu Man made such a huge scene outside the cast on the internet for him.
Tang Tu was the second male lead in “The Sound of the Wind,” and Liu Man, as an extra, also played a crucial role.
After Ye Zian paused the filming, he pondered for a long time in his resting room. He then called over his assistant and asked: “What are my Wei Bo account username and password again?”
Not long after Shen Mozhen’s clarification post, Director Ye Zian verified Wei Bo account uploaded a video.
The video lasted only two and a half minutes. In the video, Liu Man and Tang Tu got dressed formally, sitting on the same piano stool gracefully, and were playing together. It was a video shot by a professional videographer. The color tone was smoky gray and very beautiful, and the lighting was just right, making people feel very comfortable. It looked very much like a music video.
The camera slowly zoomed in from a distance. The girl was immersed in the music, her lips slightly curled up into a smile, and the boy silently sneaked a look at her, his eyes tender and full of love. Then the camera turned to the two hands that were playing the piano. Their hands were like works of art, slender and flawless, jumping on the keys with the same skillful fingering.
The music they played was something that nobody had ever heard of before. The melody was beautiful, light, and gentle. It contained some loneliness and some sadness. In the end, the hearts of the audience were grieving and feeling sad for no reason. Everyone could not help but recall their most regretful memories in their own lives.
When the music ended, a line of words in white appeared on the screen: “Have you ever seen the wind? Neither have I. But when the leaves tremble, you know that the wind was here before.”
— “The Sound of the Wind”
The netizens were all deeply engrossed in this video.
“It sounds so, so, so good!”
“What song is this? I almost started crying. I’m feeling sadder by the moment as I listen to this.”
“This must be the movie’s theme song?”
“Most likely, since Director Ye Zian sent this himself. There’s also the movie’s title at the end of the video.”
“Hanfu Goddess is the one who’s playing the piano, right? It’s so beautiful and temperamental. Art students have artistic auras. Her beauty here is very different from the classical beauty of her playing the Guqin. These are two completely different styles, and she’s not like Shen Mozhen at all.”
“Yes, in this video, she and Shen Mozhen have nothing in common. They are two completely different girls.”
“The look Tang Tu used when he looked at her is so affectionate.”
“This is a scene from a movie, and the makeup makes both of them look very tender as if they are high school students.”
“I am guilty; I hope that they are together…”
“Hey, these two people do look like a couple, though.”
“I am an incompetent Tutu fan. I just learned that Tutu is like the Hanfu Goddess; he can play two instruments, including the piano. The scenes of him playing the violin in his last movie are already very handsome. The way he plays the piano this time looks so handsome that I’m crying.”
“The Hanfu Goddess is indeed good. Not only is she beautiful in appearance, but her talent is also very rare. I can understand why Tang Tu fell in love with her. Have you guys not realized? Tang Tu, Shen Mozhen, and the goddess of Hanfu are all similar people, and they are not in the same world as us, ordinary people. What right do we have to give opinions on their love entanglements?
“Yes, Shen Mozhen personally came forward to clarify. Why are some people still holding on to Hanfu Goddess? Don’t they know that sometimes, you have to forgive others?”
“Anyway, I don’t care whether their rumor is true or false. I just like this nice theme song, so I definitely will go to the cinema to watch this movie.”
“Mhm. I also want to know about this movie’s plot. Why is the theme song so sentimental?”
“Back to the topic. I wonder if the cast intentionally made up Tang Tu and Hanfu Goddess’s rumor only to advertise the movie? Many TV shows and variety shows make their celebrities pretend to be a couple to attract more attention and popularity. Lots of fans love this.”
“I’m also suspecting that the cast did this. Director Ye Zian released the theme song video right at this moment, and Tang Tu and Liu Man in this video look very cute together. It directly corresponds to their rumor.”
“I’m just going to silently listen to the music and not comment much.”
“So, this is why you guys shouldn’t have easily believed in the stories online and fight against each other. It could be just for purposes. And some idiots get so aggressive on the internet just because of some people they don’t even personally know.”
…
Ye Zian’s secret weapon made the netizens gradually calm down. They started reflecting on this entire event, wondering whether Newsbreaker Zhang Daqiang was intentionally conjuring up a conflict.
But there were still some people who were too stubborn to accept any new opinions.
“Every content Zhang Daqiang has ever posted has been true, and he had never made a single mistake. I won’t believe he’s spreading a rumor this time.”
“Yeah, how will they explain about the pictures and the WeChat history? They cannot be photoshopped, right?”
