Chapter 591: The Protection of the Best Actor
Wan Ke was a director; there was no way he wasn’t aware of this.
Yet, he still made the cuts, which could only mean he was settling personal scores.
Ha, with such an unprofessional director, it’s no wonder he could only become Xu Jiayang’s second!
He could never become number one!
Having realized the crux of the matter, Han Luoqi’s expression turned cold.
"Director Wan, what exactly are you worried about?"
Wan Ke sighed with difficulty, "Luoqi, you should know it’s not easy making a film. Now, because of Xia Weibao’s incident, we already had to halt production.
If another scandal comes out, it’ll be fatal for ’Republic of China Graceful Hero’!
The assistant director forcing a female artist is a matter of the crew’s reputation.
But acting like a diva is Xia Weibao’s personal behavior and has nothing to do with the crew.
Although I really want to help her, I’m the director, I have to consider the overall situation..."
The more he spoke, the more troubled he seemed, as if he were tormented by his conscience, caught in an inner struggle.
All expression had drained from Han Luoqi’s face, now as cold as frost.
No matter how righteous his speech, it couldn’t hide his insincerity!
Just for his own interests, he wanted Xia Weibao, a defenseless woman, to endure so much slander!
Han Luoqi was deeply disappointed; he had previously heard about Wan Ke’s selfishness.
He’d always been reluctant to accept his projects.
This time, he had agreed, albeit unwillingly, only because Xu Jiayang had asked.
The result, truly chilling.
So many people in the same crew knew that Xia Weibao was falsely accused. She didn’t act like a diva; she endured so much for Zhuang Xuejun.
Yet, not a single person spoke up for her.
Not a single one came forward to deliver a word of justice for her.
She was still in the police station—how cold-hearted she would feel seeing this spectacle if she were to come out.
Thinking of her numb expression when she saw the scandal online, Han Luoqi’s heart ached subtly.
Without further small talk with Wan Ke, he turned and left.
Upon reaching the hotel entrance, reporters still loitering outside swarmed him immediately.
Xia Weibao’s imprisonment was big news, and everyone wanted to dig up more.
They wanted to know how she had been a diva on set, whether it had reached a point of public fury.
However, no one came out.
Now, seeing Movie Emperor Han, they surged forth like waves crashing on the shore.
"Movie Emperor Han, is it true that Xia Weibao was a diva on set?"
"Mr. Han, what’s your opinion on Xia Weibao’s diva behavior?"
"Movie Emperor Han, sharing the crew with someone like Xia Weibao, who lacks basic decency, don’t you feel ashamed..."
The baseless questions turned Han Luoqi’s face stern.
His cold gaze swept over all the journalists present, his sharp eyes silencing the crowd gradually.
The entire place fell into a hushed silence, all eyes on the usually haughty emperor of film.
Truth be told, they were somewhat afraid of Han Luoqi.
Because he too was quite arrogant, never taking reporters seriously.
Only, he didn’t act as recklessly as Xia Weibao, who would go as far as getting into fights.
Han Luoqi’s sharp gaze swept around, then suddenly, with his hands nonchalantly tucked into his pockets, he began to speak.
"That’s right, there was indeed someone acting like a diva in the crew."
Upon hearing him say this, the reporters went mad!
Movie Emperor Han publicly acknowledging Xia Weibao’s diva behavior was definitely explosive news!
Some already had a sensational headline in mind.
#Xia Weibao Acted Like a Diva, Movie Emperor Couldn’t Bear It Anymore, Public Face-Slap#
Even more exaggerated, they could say Xia Weibao hit Movie Emperor Han, emperor publicly clashes with empress.
It would certainly cause another maelstrom!
