As Lu Chiyan spoke, he gestured to Qian Le beside him. Qian Le looked confused and bewildered, so Lu Chiyan simply reached out and took Qian Le's hand.
Qian Le: "???"
Lu Chiyan Qian Le's phone and opened the trending topics list. "Next, I'll respond to each of the trending topics one by one. The first one is this... Lu Chiyan brought his own investment to the production... Well... well, it's not entirely true that he didn't..."
[Hahaha, that's hilarious! Are you here to debunk a rumor, or are you just contradicting yourself?]
[So you weren't here to debunk the rumors?]
[Huh? So it's true that some people bring their own funding to get roles? All of this is true?]
"I haven't finished yet, what's the rush?" Lu Chiyan glanced at the comments before continuing, "Whether this 'investing in the production' is considered 'investing in the production' depends on how it's defined. If Qin Sili invested in this drama and insists on calling it 'investing in the production,' then I can only accept it. After all, we're inseparable. If I say his money is his money and has nothing to do with me, you definitely won't believe me."
[ Qin Sili's investment is all for your sake!]
[Isn't Qin Sili your asset?]
[They say you brought your own funding to the production, it must have been Qin Sili who paid for it. Don't worry, nobody doubts that.]
"Alright, alright, then let's say you bring your own investment to the production," Lu Chiyan without any hesitation. "But what's the problem? Our President Qin trusts me and thinks this show can make him money, so there's nothing wrong with him investing in it. If you have money, feel free to invest; the more the merrier. We welcome all. I thank you all on behalf of the director."
"Alright, first take, that's a pass. Next up is... the second male lead in Strange Tales of Luo City ' wasn't originally Lu Chiyan." Lu Chiyan made a swearing gesture, "I swear to God, the director himself confirmed that this second male lead had no contact with any other actors besides me. So, there's absolutely no truth to the claim that I snatched the second male lead from someone else!"
"This next one is even more outrageous. Lu Chiyan wants to replace the male lead in Strange Tales of Luo City '." After Lu Chiyan, he chuckled helplessly, "I've already accepted the second male lead role, I've signed the contract, and I've almost memorized all my lines. Now I want to play the male lead? Am I crazy or insane? If I were interested in the male lead, I would have already invested in the production. Don't I know how to change the male lead before signing the contract?"
"What kind of thought process could lead someone to spread such an outrageous rumor, and yet still believe it?"
[Hahahaha, this is hilarious! I even brought my own investment to get into this production, and they didn't know they could change the male lead before signing the contract? That makes so much sense, hahaha, I'm convinced!]
[This is outrageous! How could anyone believe such a rumor!]
[The male lead has already been officially announced, who would be foolish enough to change him at this point? Lu Chiyan certainly wouldn't be that stupid!]
[Fans are reassured that Lu Chiyan refutes rumors himself; fans just need to trust him!]
Lu Chiyan glanced at the other trending topics and found them increasingly amusing. "The other trending topics are basically all about the same thing. All I can say is that I fought for this role myself. I secured the role first, and then our President Qin invested in the production, which is why there's talk of me bringing my own investment to the project."
"As for the rest, I didn't steal anyone else's role, nor am I powerful enough to directly replace the male lead," Lu Chiyan. "Therefore, I hope everyone can be rational when following gossip in the future and not be swayed by rumors. Also, I'm very sorry for the inconvenience this matter has caused the production team and the delays in their original plans. I hope this kind of thing won't happen again."
