Chapter 299: Chapter 299 - 299: They Have a Good Relationship

Translator: Zayn_

On the third day after Gu Xingchen reposted Song Qingyou’s Weibo post, a press conference was held to wrap up the filming of Murder of the Rose.

Luo Hongqing had never paid much attention to press conferences. If it wasn’t an important part of promoting the movie, he might not even want to hold it.

Therefore, everyone in the industry knew that any press conference for Director Luo’s film and television works, whether it was the start of filming, the completion of filming, or the premiere, would be as simple as possible.

This time, the press conference was held in an open space.

If they were not indoors, there would be no lighting. This was definitely a test for the artiste’s looks.

However, the main leads of ‘Rose Killer’ were not too troubled.

Jiang Zhihan sat on a stool and watched Song Qingyou walk out of the fitting room. His gaze unconsciously softened.

Song Qingyou lifted the hem of her dress and deliberately walked two steps in front of her cat.

“How is it? Was it nice? Zhizhi?”

“It must think it looks good.”

Chen Lan said, “I think Zhizhi likes to stare at you. It was the same just now.”

“All cats are like this.” Song Qingyou poked the cat’s ear. “I’ve seen it on the cat forum. It seems that some cats like to stare at people, especially when they go to the toilet or shower.”

“Oh, is Zhizhi like this too?” Chen Lan asked.

Song Qingyou shook her head. “Zhizhi only stares at me occasionally.”

It seemed that Zhizhi wouldn’t even follow her if it involved her privacy?

Song Qingyou raised her eyebrows and looked at her cat with a questioning gaze.

“Then it’s quite worry-free.”

Chen Lan didn’t notice Song Qingyou’s expression, so she got up and straightened her dress.

“This dress seems to have been specially borrowed by the production team, right?”

“Yes, it appeared in the movie. Director Luo said that it’s not bad to expose this.”

In Murder of the Rose, Grey(or Lu Li) was a tailor who liked to make clothes.

Shen Huan was like a model for his clothes.

Therefore, “Rose” had many appearances in the drama.

Song Qingyou was wearing a black dress with a retro regal style.

The two of them chatted about the outfit for a while before Director Luo’s assistant knocked on the door to remind them that it was time to go to the press conference.

The spokesperson of the production team, who was also the assistant director, took the lead to speak on stage.

The reporters below the stage were bored to death.

After the assistant director’s nagging finally ended, everyone perked up and prepared to shoot the main cast.

“Let’s welcome Director Luo Hongqing and the cast and crew.”

When the people standing at the back heard this, they began to move.

Luo Hongqing, Zhong Jiayin, and Fu Chen were the leaders.

Zhao Yingnan and Song Qingyou were behind the three of them.

Then came Yu Muhuai, Shu Ling, and the others.

According to the sequence of scenes in the movie, Zhao Yingnan was supposed to walk in front of Song Qingyou, but she always said that she felt it was too “lonely” to walk alone, so she insisted on pulling Song Qingyou along.

After the group went on stage, the spotlights below the stage instantly flashed.

No matter how uncomfortable their eyes were, they had to smile in response.

It was only when Luo Hongqing raised his hand to signal for the press conference to enter the next stage that the shutter sounds stopped.

After they sat down, Luo Hongqing started talking about the new movie, Murder of the Rose.

When it came to the Q& A session, among the many questions asked to Zhong Jiayin, Fu Chen, and Zhao Yingnan, one or two were about Song Qingyou.

One of them was that someone asked Luo Hongqing, “I heard that Director Luo hates to use newcomers who haven’t been on the big screen. So why did you choose Song Qingyou this time?”

Luo Hongqing: “1 hate to use inexperienced newcomers because newcomers usually need to be taught. Their acting on the big screen may not be up to standard, but Song Qingyou doesn’t have such shortcomings.”

After asking the director, the reporter looked at Zhao Yingnan and Song Qingyou.

“In the list of actors given by the production team, one of you is the second female lead and the other is the third female lead. The two of you appeared together and sat together. Aren’t you worried that others won’t be able to tell?”

This question was a little provocative.

Zhao Yingnan answered first, “Qingyou and 1 don’t look exactly the same, how can you not tell?”

“And I brought Qingyou along. I’d rather have someone to talk to than come out alone.”

Song Qingyou followed closely behind.

“Of course, the second female lead is Sister Yingnan. This is recognized by our crew. No one can change it.”

The two of them even smiled at each other as they sang. It was obvious that they had a good relationship.

The reporters who wanted to sow discord between the two of them also stopped thinking about it.

After a while, someone asked Yu Muhuai,

“I heard that the original story of Murder of the Rose didn’t have the character ‘Lu Li’. Did you agree to take on this role because of Song Qingyou?”

“Why do you ask?” Yu Muhuai didn’t understand.

“Because from the looks of it, Song Qingyou is in all the films you’ve acted in. Is this really just a coincidence?”

“Previously, it was Qingyou who invited me to act in a TV series, so 1 agreed. Later, 1 suddenly felt that I could adapt to the role of an actor, so I had the idea of acting… It was indeed a coincidence this time. 1 didn’t expect the scriptwriter to add a role and even asked me to try it out.”

Zhao Yingnan also chimed in, “I recommended Qingyou to join the group. The two of them joined the group almost at the same time. There’s no such thing as discussing it in advance.”

The group of people answered all their questions, but their answers were too flawless, and there was no surprise to speak of.

At the end of the press conference, some reporters couldn’t hold it in anymore and asked Song Qingyou about Gu Xingchen’s scandal.

“What do you think of the scandal between Teacher Gu Xingchen and Chen Zixuan? Do you feel unhappy?”

“Although this question has nothing to do with the press conference, but…”

Song Qingyou paused, looked confused. “Why are you asking me if I’m unhappy? What does this have to do with me?”

Reporter: “Because there are rumors that you have a very good relationship with Teacher Gu. Don’t you feel a little sad when you find out that your ‘good friend’ might be in a relationship?”

If she answered yes, Song Qingyou was sure that these people would put the words ‘good friend’ in double quote.

“Actually, 1 can count the number of times I’ve met Teacher Gu with one hand. Everyone around me can testify to this. ‘Good friends’…! don’t dare to admit it.”

“As for Teacher Gu and Sister Chen…When I was recording the show, I saw them talking together often. They should be very close. Sister Yingnan, Muhuai, what do you think?”

Zhao Yingnan was a little hesitant. She wasn’t sure if she could say this.

Yu Muhuai nodded. “Qingyou’s right. The two seniors should have a good relationship. Sister Chen seems to have worked with Teacher Gu before.”

With someone else as a witness, Song Qingyou’s words immediately became much more credible.

When the press conference ended, most of the media would definitely write these words into their reports..
