Chapter 285 Paparazzi Shots
Jiang Mubai naturally also received their return gifts. Jiang Mubai is not that kind of person. She did not exclude Ren Xueer, so when Ren Xueer received the gift box sent by Jiang Mubai, she specially posted on Weibo to thank her. Since she did not have Jiang Mubai's WeChat and contact information, she could only do this.
Jiang Mubai followed Zhang Yi to learn how to edit videos for a month and a half. During this period, she went there every morning and came back in the evening, and repeated the previous day's schedule the next day.
This was even more fulfilling than when she was studying on the crew. For a moment, Jiang Mubai seemed to have returned to her school days.
If anything happened, it was that after she won the Best Actress award, her popularity increased and some people followed her. The fact that she insisted on going to Zhang Yi's house for more than a month was secretly photographed and posted online, and the haters heard the news and came in droves.
Some say that she has a close relationship with Zhang Yi. It must have been no easy task for her to win the role of Best Actress back then. In addition, her new movie is directed by Zhang Yi himself, so the relationship between the two of them becomes even more confusing to outsiders.
At this time, someone else came forward and claimed that he was a staff member of Jiang Mubai's movie. He said that Jiang Mubai and Zhang Yi were very unusual when they were filming on the set, and that Zhang Yi even accepted Jiang Mubai as his apprentice.
Anyway, there were all kinds of things going on between her and Zhang Yi, but Heizi just kept his mouth shut and ignored everything else.
But there are also many rational people who are on the sidelines, especially Jiang Mubai's fans, who are even too lazy to argue with those black fans.
After all, there were not only Jiang Mubai and Zhang Yi in the secretly taken photos. The deputy director, assistant, and Jiang Mubai's assistant agent all appeared in them from time to time. It didn't look like they had an unusual relationship at all.
Although this incident did not cause any stir, it still affected Jiang Mubai's reputation to some extent.
Zhang Yi even brought up the fact that the two of them were secretly photographed as a joke, "They really have nothing to say. Who would look up to an old man like me? They have no brains at all and just keep yelling nonsense."
Wu You also looked indignant, "That's right! I'm really pissed off after reading this. Sister Mu Bai, why don't we issue a statement? You and Director Zhang, we can't just let others misunderstand us like this."
Jiang Mubai was very sober. "There's nothing to post. Didn't you see that it's all the haters who are talking? No rational person would believe what's going on between me and Director Zhang. My fans don't bother to pay attention to them."
Manman also said, "How else can you say that Mu Bai is famous? Someone has secretly photographed him. After all, being famous brings a lot of gossip. Now that you have issued a statement, they will be even more proud. He thinks we are feeling guilty."
"So, are we just going to let this matter go?"
"It's no big deal. We can find an opportunity to talk about it when the movie is released. We don't need to pay special attention to the outside voices. We just need to do our job well."
The two parties involved in this incident did not get involved, and the fans were also rational and did not confront the black fans so it did not cause any waves.
When Cheng Yunchuan saw the trending search, he had the same reaction as Zhang Yi. He had personally seen how Jiang Mubai and Zhang Yi got along, and he knew that Jiang Mubai was learning from Zhang Yi, so he felt that Gou Zi's words were nonsense.
The only person who was worried about this matter was Li Jingming. He was afraid that this incident would affect the subsequent development of the movie, so he arranged for people to come forward one after another to help clarify the matter.
After waiting for more than half a year, the movie is finally going to be released. During the preview, all the actors in the movie came to watch it. They were well prepared before they came, but they were still shocked after watching it.
"This is the movie I acted in? Why do I feel it's different from when I acted in it? This is too emotional to watch."
Song Qi said to his agent sitting next to him with a look of disbelief, and his agent also found it unbelievable.
"I didn't expect you to be quite suitable for filming. It was such a waste of talent to have you filming TV series all along."
"No way, what you saw was all determined by Director Zhang's movements and looks. I am really grateful to him and Teacher Cheng for accompanying me over and over again without any airs and telling me not to worry. It is really fun to film with them."
"When you came back from the wrap, you kept praising me. It seems like you really learned a lot."
"Of course, filming a movie is really different from filming a TV series. I used to be indifferent about the difference, but after trying it this time, I found that what they said was true."
"You will definitely get more scripts and film contracts after this. The scene between you and Cheng Yunchuan was really exciting. You looked just as charismatic as him."
Cheng Yunchuan came of course. Although he was a supporting role in the film, he was a big name outside the play and naturally sat in the first row with Jiang Mubai and Zhang Yi.
They also invited many media reporters to watch the preview. When the movie ended, no one wanted to leave. They all wanted to make an appointment with the crew members to have a good interview about what happened during the filming.
Of course Zhang Yi and Jiang Mubai were happy to share these things, and they could also take this opportunity to clarify their master-disciple relationship.
The interview was decided on the spot, and at eight o'clock the next morning, all the actors in the crew arrived at the designated room and waited.
The person who arranged the interview was an old acquaintance of Jiang Mubai. She was the hostess to whom Jiang Mubai had said he would give his book last time. So the first thing the hostess said to Jiang Mubai when they met was, "Teacher Jiang, I received the book you sent me. It has your signature on it. Thank you so much. I will keep the book well."
It was because the host said this that Jiang Mubai remembered who the other person was.
"Teacher Jiang, do you remember the question we asked last time? I asked you whether you would make a cameo appearance in your own movie. So can you reveal it to our audience today?"
"Yes, I made a cameo appearance in it."
"I heard that some of the shots in the movie were based on the storyboards you drew, right? How come you can draw storyboards? Isn't that what a director should do?"
"You asked me about this during the interview, and I also said that I was very interested in making movies, so Director Zhang accepted me as his apprentice. When I was on the set, I followed him and learned how to shoot."
"Apart from learning filming on the set, is there anything else?"
"I also worked with him to edit the film for more than a month, and went to Director Zhang's place every day from morning to night to watch it."
"So that's how it is. So what do you think after learning about these things, Mr. Jiang? Is it very different from being an actor?"
"There is definitely a difference between the two. One is in front of the stage and the other is behind the scenes. The work behind the scenes is actually harder and more likely to be overlooked by others, but we can't do without their help, so after doing it myself, I can have a better experience and understanding."
"So what does Director Zhang think of the performance of his disciple Mu Bai?"
"Of course I am satisfied. We can all see how well she works on the set. You also mentioned the storyboard. If it wasn't good enough, I wouldn't dare put it in the movie. So I am very satisfied with this apprentice."
There was no roadshow arranged for Jiang Mubai's new movie this time, because many people who watched the preview praised it highly, resulting in a situation where tickets were sold out on the first day of its release.
