484 A Gamecock That Had Just Won a Figh

Not only did this statement insult Lin Nuan, but it also insulted the director, as well as some of the main cast.

No wonder the director was so angry!

Originally, Director Chen was planning to let Lin Nuan try again today. If she still couldn't do it, he would then consider replacing her. Who could have expected the author to come up with such a bad idea…

After fans of the original novel saw Shu Xin's Weibo, they felt that since the creator of Feng Wuluan felt that Lin Nuan was doing a poor job, then Lin Nuan's acting must truly be so trashy that one couldn't bear to look at it. Most of the comments were slamming the director for being a fool; with so many actresses out there, why did he insist on using a talk show host for such an important character? Was he sick or what?

Director Chen was a stubborn one to begin with; when he saw the Weibo post followed by those comments, he exploded on the spot!

He must use Lin Nuan no matter what then! He just wouldn't believe it!

Even if he were to instruct every expression, every action… he was set on using Lin Nuan.

After all, one lives to strive for vindication! How could he, a director who had received countless major awards, be looked down upon by an author?

Lin Nuan got lucky this time around; she was profiting from the competition of spite between the director and the original author.

Lin Nuan stared at the director, and her eyes suddenly reddened slightly. She nodded. "Don't worry, Director Chen, I'll definitely give it my all!"

In order for the previous reincarnation of Feng Wuluan to stand out more, the director added scenes for this role, adding to Lin Nuan's pressure.

The director also developed new thoughts on her image and makeup, and so he told the makeup artist to change Lin Nuan's makeup on the spot…

Previously, Lin Nuan was dressed in white with traces of blood all over, and her makeup was akin to a white lotus; in order to enhance the visual effects, the director got Lin Nuan to remove the outer sashed layer and replaced it with a black-and-red outer garment. He also gave her slightly heavier makeup.

The director sat beside Lin Nuan and began to describe the scene to her…

"The Exorcist" was now only left with Lin Nuan's scenes, and it was precisely these scenes that caused a rift between the director and the original author, so the entire production crew felt tense.

After all, the director represented their entire crew, and they were bound together for good and bad!

Fang Yan saw Lin Nuan listening attentively as the director explained the scenes to her, and she quietly left the set to give her promoter a call, informing the latter that she would be sending some information to her. She also instructed her to be careful in using a dummy account to reveal the truth behind Lin Nuan's true marital status and conditions. She was to focus on that photo where Lin Nuan was protecting that child in disregard of her own life, as well as on how that child had gone to the station building to look for her, in order to get discussions heated up.

Then she should prepare a long Weibo post to be released on the official Weibo account, with the contents being that Lin Nuan and her husband were both in Iraq at the moment. Because a civil war abruptly broke out in Iraq, Lin Nuan was separated from her husband and son. After the husband-and-wife duo managed to contact each other, Lin Nuan found out that her son was in the Jiang's corporation in Iraq, so she left for that place. The baby in the photo, which Lin Nuan was fiercely protecting despite being yanked by the hair, was her son.

The photo in which Lin Nuan was asking the hospital staff about Wen Moshen's picture was taken in Tikrit City in the capital of Saladin, where Lin Nuan happened to recall the rumor on the internet and decided to ask since she happened to bump into the hospital staff there. Even that picture of Wen Moshen was something Lin Nuan saw and borrowed from a young lady in the same line of work.

Fang Yan also instructed that she should mention that she hoped the young lady who had lent Lin Nuan that picture back then could stand out and clarify matters.

With Fu Huai'an as a backup force, Fang Yan could handle the matter more smoothly. She had originally merely wanted a photo of Tuan Tuan looking for Lin Nuan; in the end, Fu Huai'an sent the entire CCTV recording of the lobby in the station building that day to her email.

Fang Yan was a clever person; she could guess that if there was no action on her part, Fu Huai'an would likely already have had preparations on his own.

Lin Nuan was giving it her all in the studio, but Fang Yan, who was holding onto her phone outside of the studio, wasn't idling around either; she was constantly on the phone.

As Fang Yan had expected, half an hour after the post was released, it made it to the top of the search engine.

Because the previous incident of Lin Nuan going to Iraq in search of Wen Moshen was blown up into a major affair, bringing out the Iraq matter again drew more attention than the last time!

Within the short span of an hour, the servers nearly crashed from an overwhelming number of comments.

[@Stinky Drain: Damn, fancy going after another man even after giving birth. Lin Nuan's husband has a massive grassland above his head! Why would he still want this kind of woman? Fancy getting back together after a few years, does he not think the top of his head is green enough?]

[@God is me: As a man, no matter how much I love a woman, if the woman dumped my child and me for another man, I would absolutely not have agreed to a reconciliation. Women like this should just be dragged out and executed! Transformed from a neutral position to an anti-fan of Lin Nuan!]

[@Lingering sentiments: Is Lin Nuan's husband ok? With the truth revealed, shouldn't you stand out and clarify things too? Do you dare to stand out and let me see what the greenest man of the century looks like? He's truly green from head to toe, all the way to his shadows.]

[@Grass flying about: Doesn't everyone mind too much? It's other people's relationship matters and not up to outsiders to comment!]

[@It's obviously you: @Ms Shu Xin: You said Lin Nuan's acting is poor, but in my opinion, she acts better than anyone else! She could still rush to Iraq to put up an act of being willing to disregard her life in the name of love after giving birth to a kid!]

[@Little bean: Why get married and have a kid with another man when you can't forget your ex-lover? Successfully verified a female scoundrel! No longer a fan, k thx bye!]

There were many more similar comments below; very few were speaking out for her, whereas a majority were slamming her…

Even Fang Yan's promoter could no longer sit still. She called Fang Yan, saying Lin Nuan's image seemed to have been smeared too badly. First, there was Lu Tianyu's Weibo post accusing her of being a third party, then the falling out with the original author of "The Exorcist". Her image was smeared so badly it couldn't get any worse. In the end, Fang Yan decided to act to that smearing on her own!

Lin Nuan was currently the most badly smeared person in the industry, so smeared that one couldn't bear to look at her, like that of a coal ball. The promoter was afraid Lin Nuan might not be able to wash herself clean this time, and so she meekly asked if she should engage some internet brigades to whitewash her image a little, lest things on the internet got too ugly!

Fang Yan calmly asked the promoter, "How's the second long Weibo post coming along?"

"Already done, are we going to release it on Lin Nuan's official Weibo account?"

"Send it over and let me take a look first!"

It was almost 5 pm; even if things had turned upside down on the internet, Fang Yan was still able to keep her composure, going about her steps as planned.

…

At 6:45 pm, "The Exorcist" officially wrapped up filming. Fang Yan had no choice but to postpone the meeting with the AG company until tomorrow.

When she heard the cheering from within the studio to mark the end of filming, Fang Yan then lowered her phone, whose battery had almost gone flat by now, and entered the studio.

The crew members looked at Lin Nuan, who was walking to the dressing room in her heavy costume, their expressions different from before…

Director Chen was looking energetic and alive, like a gamecock that had just won a fight.

"Didn't Shu Xin claim Lin Nuan couldn't make it? I must edit this scene into the trailer!" Director Chen patted the vice-director in front of him with his large hand. "Scare Shu Xin to death!"There's a saying in Chinese "to wear a green hat," which means to be made a cuckold
