Chapter 170: Press Conference
“Everyone, don’t be anxious. We have plenty of time to ask questions later. The press conference hasn’t started yet, so calm down.”
Fu Guosheng’s manager, Li Hong, smiled and comforted all the reporters.
They were actually waiting for Lan Yanran. If he hadn’t come, the press conference wouldn’t have been able to proceed.
At this moment, a staff member ran over to inform Li Hong that Lan Yanran was ready backstage. She nodded and called for a press conference without worry.
“Dear reporter friends, the press conference has begun. Regarding this incident, our Mr. Fu has a witness that can prove our innocence. The video online was completely fabricated and isn’t real. Please don’t believe it.”
Li Hong spoke first, followed by Fu Guosheng.
“I, Fu Guosheng, have always been a wise man and have been in the entertainment circle for more than 30 years. This time, I don’t know who started the rumor and I don’t know who I offended that they want to frame me like this. I haven’t done it, and that’s the truth. I will have my lawyer send a letter to the person who started the rumor and bring him to court.”
Fu Guosheng’s words caused a stir amongst the reporters.
“Mr. Fu, you have been in the entertainment circle for more than 30 years. The person in the video is very clear and there are no traces of editing in the video. Where is the witness you spoke of?” A male reporter with a sign stood up and asked.
“This is what I’m going to say next. His name is Lan Yanran and he was with me the entire day. We were discussing the script and he is a newbie. His acting is good and he is a good seedling. I have the intention to nurture him.”
Fu Guosheng got someone to bring Lan Yanran out.
Lan Yanran walked over generously, looking calm and unhurried. He didn’t have stage fright and faced the many media reporters below the stage, he bravely spoke the truth.
“Hello everyone, I am Lan Yanran, a newbie. I was there and I saw everything.”
Fu Guosheng looked at Lan Yanran with satisfaction, a smile on his face.
“Mr. Lan, can you tell us whether this is true or not, as well as the situation at that time?”
The female reporter stood up.
“Of course, yes, this video is real! Fu Guosheng did indeed have s*x with this woman in the video!”
The audience exploded after Lan Yanran finished speaking.
The smile on Fu Guosheng’s face faded and he became scarily gloomy!
“Lan Yanran! What nonsense are you saying? I didn’t!”
Fu Guosheng slammed the table, his expression horrifying. He was no longer the gentle and kind old actor from before.
“No? Back then, you called me over to discuss the script, but in reality, you were trying to sleep with me! I hid in the washroom and didn’t dare to make a sound. Who knew he would ask a female fan out? Later, he took his medicine and did those things on the video with his fan. That was how I escaped!”
Lan Yanran described the scene in detail, the people below the stage record and took snapshots eagerly as no one wanted to miss it.
“Nonsense! Did you find this person to frame me? I didn’t ask her out, she came alone…”
Fu Guosheng let it slip, and was so furious that he wanted to leave!
At this moment, several people suddenly walked up, seven to eight men and women stopped him.
“Who are you?”
Fu Guosheng looked at them with a dark expression.
“Mr. Fu, have you forgotten? You bullied us before. Have you forgotten how I changed in the fitting room?”
The woman smiled.
“I… I don’t know you! This is all fake, all rumors!” Fu Guosheng shouted.
“Mr. Fu, these are D-list actors, we wouldn’t take the risk to frame you,” Lan Yanran shouted.
“Mr. Fu, what happened?”
“Mr. Fu, didn’t you say that this was a rumor? Did you really do these things?”
“Mr. Fu, please tell us, didn’t you reject the woman when she came? Did you really assault these people?”
The reporters couldn’t wait to hold the microphone to Fu Guosheng’s mouth as they rushed over to ask.
“Sorry, we won’t accept any questions from the reporters for the time being.”
Li Hong got the security officers to stop the reporters while she and Fu Guosheng hid in the back.
Lan Yanran and a few others were left in the hall, still answering the reporters’ questions.
In the hotel’s waiting room.
“B*stard! Lan Yanran is still young and he wants to be in the limelight. Does he think he can become a star just by stepping on me? In his dreams!”
Fu Guo flushed with anger.
“Teacher Fu, how are we going to end this? Those reporters are definitely going to write nonsense. We can cover up in the past, but this time, it has blown up!”
Li Hong was panicking.
“What do you mean? What am I going to do now? Same rules, use money to shut them up! I’ll put in a good word for the big boss, he will definitely save me!”
Fu Guosheng wanted to continue to lead a good life in the production team.
“Mr. Fu, during the press conference just now, there were at least 80 if not 100. It wouldn’t do to give everyone 10,000 yuan. This much money, you…”
“Got it, I’ll pay! Damn it, Lan Yanran! I definitely won’t let you off!”
Fu Guosheng clenched his fists.
“Crap!” Li Hong shouted.
