Three Combs: Chapter 32.3

[Previous][Table of Contents][Next]

At Hengdian, the sun is shining in the afternoon.

Jiang Tiao is putting on makeup for Zhang Qiu Feng. Facing the sun, the woman’s features were distinct and her skin looks transparent as if she isn’t real.

She has been restless. Her heart is beating hard against her chest and her limbs are trembling.

But she still tries to control her movements and thoughts so that she can focus on the work at hand.

Several directors are discussing Fu Ting Chuan’s matter and she cocked an ear to listen in.

“You say, does our production have bad Fengshui,” Director Tong unscrew the bottle and took a sip of tea, “After Teacher Fu came to film, there have been many scandals. Now, his hidden illness has been exposed.”

Director Jiang sighed, “It’s not necessarily a bad thing. Popular celebrities have a lot of negative press. He is a big star so of course, he needs coverage. If there isn’t, then he will lose the public’s attention and fade away from existence. If you’re not popular, who would be happy about your gossip? Besides, his scandal and exposure only appeared after he finished filming. It has nothing to do with our crew. Who are you cursing?”

Director Tong patted his leg, “A good director is a good director. I’m afraid that it will affect his image.”

“In any case, “Taiping” will be released next year. When that time comes, those fools online will attack something else. Those people are amusing. In reality, they have no job, no life and what do they do? They spend all day attacking people online.”

“What do you mean they don’t work. They are Taiping’s promoters.”

“Old Tong, I’ve already heard this joke when I was in my mother’s womb.”

“Scram.”

……

After chatting merrily for a while, the security guard suddenly brought over a couple of entertainment reporters.

“Why are you bringing these people in!” Director Tong immediately jumped up.

The security guard warily mumbled, “I couldn’t block them. They insisted on coming in.”

“Aiya––– Director Tong, quell your anger–––we just want to interview you. When Teacher Fu was filming in the production, did he make any specific actions or say anything out of the ordinary? For example, which actress’s hand did he have a special reaction to?” The one who spoke out is a pretty young woman in a black coat. Her voice is sweet but the question is hurried and sharp.

“Put the camera down and get out of my sight!” Director Tong pointed at one of the men with a crew cut and glasses.

That man didn’t move and continued filming.

Director Tong’s anger is building up and is about to burst.

“Director Tong!” He was suddenly hollered at, “Let him shoot.”

The person who called him is Zhang Qiu Feng. She was originally quietly sitting there like a dummy that has now come alive.

She unhurriedly looked at that man’s lens, while she effortlessly spoke in a dignified manner, “I want to ask you, what’s wrong with my junior brother liking hands?”

Several people in the vicinity looked over at the “Adult Taiping” as well as Jiang Tiao who is helping her patch up her highlights.

“It’s normal for people to have some intimate thoughts toward beautiful things. How is it that it is fine to look at faces but when my junior brother looks at hands it is considered obscene?” Zhang Qiu Feng pulled up Jiang Tiao’s hand, “I have to say, my makeup artist’s hands are beautiful. I feel comfortable having her do my makeup. Besides, she had also done my junior brother’s makeup. After I entered the crew, I have never seen any abnormalities with him. You are relentlessly targeting him like this. Who has he affected? Who has he violated? Whose hand did he cut off to put in his collection at home?”

“Teacher Zhang….” Jiang Tiao was in an uncomfortable position.

Zhang Qiu Feng shot her a glance and let go of her. She calmly turns to the reporters, “Didn’t you want an actress’s feedback? You can write about what I said.”

She smiled prettily like a flower, “Oh, I almost forgot. You don’t write the truth.”

The entertainment reporters were left dumbstruck. Director Tong took the lead and applauded, followed by the others shortly after.

Jiang Tiao also clapped. She wants to say thank you to Zhang Qiu Feng but doesn’t know what reason or identity to use.

Goddess Zhang is a good senior sister.

……

The leading actress has spoken out for Fu Ting Chuan yet the reporters continued to mindlessly probe for more.

Only when the directors fiercely glared at them and look like they were about to call the police did the group hurriedly leave.

Everything returned to normal.

Jiang Tiao’s phone vibrated. It is a text message.

Flustered, Jiang Tiao hurriedly pulled out her phone from her pocket.

When she saw the name of the sender, her tight chest finally relaxed.

It felt like she has been waiting for an eternity.

Jiang Tiao walked to the side and opened the message. It is a concise five-word message. “I am fine. Rest assured.”

Wu. The sun is too blinding. Her eyes suddenly stung wanting to cry.
