Chapter 502: Ratings Frenzy
Li Chen completed the filming of the murder and corpse-sinking scenes in Hangzhou and returned to Beijing with the crew.

Wang Xueqi, who plays the father, wants to find out the truth and give justice to his son.

He finally found his suspect, the wealthy businessman Liu Han, played by Huang Xiaoming.

He knew that even if it was Liu Han, he had no evidence, but he had to find a way to confirm his guess, at least to confirm whether he was the owner of the lighter.

Liu Han was at the peak of his life at this time. He had a successful career, a beautiful wife by his side, and the banquet hall was filled with guests.

I heard the waiter say that a reporter who knew me was looking for me.

Liu Han was a little curious holding the reporter's business card. He and the reporter named Solan looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

But when he saw the profile of a middle-aged man wearing a baseball cap in the quiet corridor, his heart was shocked.

"Mr. Liu Han, I'm sorry to bother you on such a special day." Wang Xueqi seemed extremely calm. He took off his cap and revealed his true face: "Do you know who I am?"

Huang Xiaoming's expression was also very calm: "I only know that you are not Solan."

Huang Xiaoming felt a little guilty and uneasy. He turned his head to look at his wife played by Deng Jiajia not far away, and then walked to the bathroom with Wang Xueqi.

"I am the father of Li Ya (the deceased). I don't know if you have seen the news." Wang Xueqi took out his wallet and handed it to Huang Xiaoming. There was a photo of them inside.

He wanted to use this opportunity to observe Huang Xiaoming's facial expressions. If he knew his son, his facial expressions and eyes would not escape his eyes.

"Everyone says he's on the run, but I want to ask you a few questions. Do you mind?"

Huang Xiaoming pretended to be calm, turned sideways and lowered his head to glance at the photo to hide his inner panic, but after a moment he raised his head and returned the wallet to Wang Xueqi.

"I also learned about your son from the newspaper. I'm sorry."

"My son is definitely not a thief! And he has never fled for fear of crime! My son is dead!" Wang Xueqi's tone was firm and a little excited, but his eyes were staring at Huang Xiaoming without blinking.

Huang Xiaoming didn't dare to meet Wang Xueqi's eyes, but just touched the back of his head subconsciously.

But it was this subconscious action that exposed his guilty conscience.

Wang Xueqi became more and more certain of his guess.

"Someone must be laughing at me and my wife right now. I was there with the police the day you spoke to them."

Hearing this, Huang Xiaoming touched his chin subconsciously again.

Wang Xueqi narrowed his eyes slightly, and his anger grew stronger: "I can be sure that woman has an accomplice, because she adjusted the seat before driving! The previous driver was not her, she lied!"

"People don't lie for no reason!" Wang Xueqi's voice became increasingly low.

"She lied to protect herself or you!"

Wang Xueqi said as he casually took out a cigarette and asked, "Do you have a lighter?"

Huang Xiaoming was already stunned by Wang Xueqi's series of monologues and took out his lighter subconsciously.

Now Wang Xueqi is 100% sure that Huang Xiaoming is the person being protected, and he is the driver!
Because this lighter was the one he saw in the car that day.

"As a father, the most terrifying thing is to lose my child! After going through this, I am completely hopeless and fearless."

"They will soon find out that I broke in secretly, so please tell me the truth, where is my son!"

Huang Xiaoming looked flustered and shook his head, "I think you must have made a mistake!"

Wang Xueqi suddenly exploded, grabbed Huang Xiaoming's collar fiercely and said fiercely: "You were in the car with that woman! Her name is not Mu Tan. You were in a car accident at the time, and my son's car was also there!"

"Did you get rid of him? Was it like this?" Wang Xueqi took the golden lighter and threw it lightly. The lighter drew an arc in the air and fell into the sink.

Just like the car that sank into the lake that night.

Huang Xiaoming was completely stunned.
"Cut! It's over. Teacher Wang has a solid foundation in dialogue delivery, which is worthy of learning for today's young actors." Wang Xueqi's performance in this segment was impeccable, and when he acted opposite Huang Xiaoming, people naturally focused on him.

Especially the silent outburst just now.

A good actor is one who can get out of the role in one second and get into the role in the next.

Wang Xueqi smiled modestly and said, "Director Li, you are too kind. Actually, Xiaoming and Qiaoqiao are also good."

"Director Li really wrote a good script. If you hadn't read it, you really wouldn't have guessed the ending."

Huang Xiaoming also nodded and agreed: "Teacher Wang is right. If it weren't for Director Li's script, I would have to watch this play at least three times to fully understand the hidden clues in it."

Everyone in the crew nodded, feeling that what Huang Xiaoming said was not an exaggeration.

"Okay, you don't have to flatter me. If you want to talk about the script, I will admit it frankly." Li Chen said with a smile.

In the past few days, as the plot of "Dream of Splendor" progressed, Gu Qianfan heroically rescued the beauty Zhao Pan'er from the county government and then Zhao Pan'er went to Beijing. The bustling scene of Tokyo in the play was very similar to that of the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".

This made "Dream of Red Mansions" the most discussed topic on Weibo.

The biggest advantage of TV series over movies is that they have a long cycle, cover a wide area, and are most suitable for accumulating popularity.

At any time, more people watch TV than movies. The ratings of Dream of Red Mansions kept rising, reaching a peak of 5.2%, setting a record second only to My Fair Princess.

Not only that, the hit drama Dreams of Splendor also received strong support from official media outlets such as Xinhua Daily and Guangming Daily.

CCTV praised "Dream of Red Mansions" as a phenomenal costume idol drama.

Liu Yifei’s Weibo followers have increased by 150 million in the past few days.

He became the third celebrity after Li Chen and He Jiong to have over 10 million fans on Weibo.

As a result, Zhang Hanyun, Deng Jiajia and Zhu Yilong also gained hundreds of thousands of followers on Weibo.

The three of them flocked to Yi Xin Media for advertising endorsements and film contracts.

Even the newcomer Tang Yixin who played Ge Zhaodi became well-known overnight.

This is the power of a hit drama.

Yang Siwei also took the opportunity to sign Tang Yixin.

Fan Qiaoqiao, Jing Tian and others left congratulations on Li Chen's Weibo.

Jing Tian was sitting in front of the TV with his legs curled up and a pillow in his arms, also watching Dreams of the Red Chamber. His eyes were full of envy: "Brother Li is so amazing."

"I made movies that won box office titles, TV series that won ratings titles, and even my songwriting was nominated for a Grammy."

Lu Zheng had a constipated expression. Although he knew that his niece was not complaining about him, that was just her personality. She said whatever she thought.

But these words did not taste good to my ears.

The TV series "A Woman's Epic" flopped.

The movie "Beauty Boss" also flopped.

He had almost forgotten even the first few singles released by his niece.

"Tiantian, don't envy others. When our "Warring States" is released next year, you will also have a masterpiece. I promise, you will."

"I know uncle, but I don't dare to hope to compare with Brother Li's movies."

Lu Zheng was not convinced: "How can we not compare? In terms of cast and investment cost, we are not inferior at all. It's just that the director is not as famous as him."

Jingtian didn't want to argue with his uncle. After all, his uncle spent a lot of money on him to promote him.

Li Chen returned to the villa and heard from his mother-in-law that a company specializing in maternal and child products had come to them in the past two days, hoping that his wife could be the spokesperson.

“These businesses are really omnipresent.”

"Isn't it? But my mother has already declined it for me."

Liu Yifei cares about her first child more than anyone else, so how could she possibly accept an endorsement?

Sina Entertainment News

"The 3D magical action blockbuster "Havoc in Heaven", starring an all-star cast, held its first global press conference in Beijing on December 12, with the three leading actors, Makoto Tan, Aaron Kwok and Chow Yun-fat, providing on-site analysis."

"In addition to the all-star cast, the film's behind-the-scenes team is also very impressive, it is reported."

“Daniel Symmes, the 4D cinematographer for Pirates of the Caribbean 3, led the film’s 3D design.”

“The visual effects were done by David Ebner, the lead visual effects designer for Alice in Wonderland, and Kevin Rafferty, the visual effects designer for Star Wars.”

“The motion capture part was presented by Reuben Langdon, the chief motion capture artist of Avatar.”

Another copy of "Avatar", using the same formula as Yoko's 3D "White Snake".

It’s said to be an investment of 3 million, which sounds scary.

This morning, many people in the crew of "The Invisible Guest" were discussing the producer of this 3 million blockbuster.

There are only a handful of production companies in China that dare to spend 3 million yuan on an exclusive production.

Huang Xiaoming and Li Qiaoqiao also talked about the Monkey King's True Pill in "Journey to the West".

Li Chen listened and made no comment.

After causing trouble for this person, Guan Yu went on to cause trouble for Sun Wukong.

Among the four great classics, "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Water Margin" have not been adapted into movies.

Otherwise, Zhen Zidan might have to challenge Jia Baoyu and Song Jiang.

Li Chen really suspected that the film company was not here to make a movie, but just wanted to wash to be healthier.

Otherwise, if we spend 3 million to hire Makoto Dan to play Sun Wukong, will there be no one left in Hong Kong?
