Chapter 1468: He is My Son (41)
Whatever Chen Junjie knew, Mo Xicheng definitely knew it better.
Before going onto the stage, his manager had already told him about the problem.
There was a fuss online by Chen Junjie’s fans, who had all claimed that Mo Xicheng had stolen Chen Junjie’s position as the male lead. If Mo Xicheng chose not to take him along for the promotional events, Director Wang would actually agree with him—however, it would prove the point that Mo Xicheng was bringing him down.
All the artists in the industry knew that even if they didn’t get along well, they had to pretend they got along in front of the public.
His manager had said, “It’s never too late to take your revenge. Also, he’s just young blood, you shouldn’t bother picking a fight with him. He’s depending on his looks, while you depend on your acting skills. Everyone can tell who will reach higher in this industry. Besides, we will have many chances to take revenge in the future. If you bother with him now, you are obviously lowering yourself. Look at the differences in your statuses. So today, you shouldn’t do anything that could make the fans gossip, or the news might say you’re bringing a newbie down.”
Therefore no matter what, he had to introduce Chen Junjie, but… did Chen Junjie think that he would stand still?
As Mo Xicheng thought so, he lowered his lids and said, “Yes, the male supporting actor in our filming crew, Chen Junjie, performed really well. His acting skills have also improved a lot and our female supporting actor…”
Whenever he spoke of a person, the emcee would invite the person to the stage.
Thus, both Chen Junjie and the female supporting actor were on the stage.
After Chen Junjie was on the stage, he immediately greeted the reporters. He looked really humble and everyone was instantly laughing cheerfully. After the emcee asked him some questions, he asked him to stand beside Mo Xicheng.
Chen Junjie was smiling and he even greeted Mo Xicheng. “Hello, Brother Cheng. We’ve met once again.”
He greeted him really sincerely, but he had sent a provoking gaze to Mo Xicheng. As he was facing the audience sideways, no one got to see that emotion in his gaze.
Chen Junjie’s attitude was really obvious: So what if you don’t like me? Don’t you still have to introduce me and invite me on stage?
Mo Xicheng narrowed his eyes and held out his hand to him- “Hi.”
After both of them briefly shook hands, Mo Xicheng turned his head to look at Shen Liangchuan and allowed him to accept questions from the reporters.
Someone asked, “Chen Junjie, the internet is saying that you and Teacher Mo did not get along during the filming, is this true?”
After the reporter said so, Chen Junjie instantly smiled and his smile was really bashful. “No, I’m on really good terms with Teacher Mo. Teacher Mo has pretty good acting skills, we often exchange tips and act with one another. Isn’t it, Teacher Mo?”
After Mo Xicheng heard his words, he raised an eyebrow, walked two steps towards him and raised his head.
The reporters hurriedly picked up their cameras and started snapping pictures of them.
Mo Xicheng suddenly smiled at the camera and said, “It is so if you say so.”
His words neither agreed nor disagreed with what Chen Junjie had said. His reply was unclear.
How dare Chen Junjie want to exchange acting tips with him when he was such a bad actor? He really thought too highly of himself.
But no one noticed the sarcasm in his words, as he had mesmerized the audience the instant he had smiled.
All the reporters were instantly stunned.
Following this, they immediately continued taking pictures.
Chen Junjie, who was standing on the stage, didn’t understand what had happened and instantly got more arrogant after seeing how cooperative he was.
