After discussing the countermeasures with Qin Yize, Luo Ning turned around and went back to his dormitory.

Yu Cheng’s bedroom door was closed, Luo Ning stopped at the door and listened carefully to the movement inside.

Yu Cheng’s voice faintly came from inside the door, with obvious anger: “Who are you to back out when Qin Yize is willing? I really thought he would only teach you twice, but he cared about you and was willing to teach you! You don’t know how to talk to the great master and avoid suspicion when getting along!”

Zhou Jinyun choked up and said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t expect to be photographed…”

Yu Cheng rolled his eyes and said, “Don’t you know this is the entertainment industry? As an artist, you should be cautious in your words and always careful and be prepared to be secretly photographed by the paparazzi at any time! You, a transparent newcomer, dare to go to Qin Yize alone, no wonder netizens are scolding you for hugging thighs!”

Zhou Jinyun hung his head and did not speak, obviously being scolded beyond which he could retaliate against.

Luo Ning sighed softly and knocked on the door to interrupt Yu Cheng’s lecture.

Seeing Luo Ning coming in, Yu Cheng immediately coughed in embarrassment, scratched his head a little irritably, and said, “Xiao Luo, don’t think too much about it. Xiao Zhou is a newcomer and is not sensible. I’m training him.” After a pause, he asked nervously, “Yize… isn’t angry, is he?” He was really uneasy, in case the scandal made Qin Yize angry, the cameo role hadn’t even been filmed yet.

Luo Ning smiled slightly, and said: “Yize is not that stingy, and he also knows that someone is deliberately fanning the flames behind his back, and it has nothing to do with Xiao Zhou. But Xiao Zhou, a newcomer, has to bear such a big pressure from public opinion, Yize is actually quite sorry.”

Zhou Jinyun was overwhelmed by the flattery, and hurriedly said with red eyes, “I’m sorry for Teacher Qin, I shouldn’t have gone to him in private…”

This pitiful look was obviously him being dumbfounded by the director’s scolding.

Luo Ning was a little distressed, so he walked over and patted the newcomer on the shoulder and said softly: “Just pay attention in the future. Don’t worry too much about this time, Li Xin is here. He can handle this kind of thing with ease, you just have to cooperate with him.”

Zhou Jinyun nodded furiously: “Yeah, I will definitely cooperate with all my strength. What should I do?”

Luo Ning said: “What Li Xin means is that you are a newcomer without a manager and you don’t know much about the industry. It’s hard to get ahead. Sooner or later, you will have to sign with an agent or a brokerage company, why not take this opportunity to sign with Yize’s studio, Li Xin wants to take you with him personally.”

Hearing this, Yu Cheng and Zhou Jinyun were stunned.

Yu Cheng didn’t expect that Li Xin and Qin Yize would care so much about a little transparent newcomer, and help Zhou Jinyun clean up to such an extent. Zhou Jinyun even didn’t expect that a newcomer who was not well-known like himself would be favored by Li Ge, the ace manager, and he would let him sign with Yize Studio?

This was simply a pie falling from the sky!

Yize Studio had been established for several years, and currently there was only Qin Yize as an artist. He had long heard that Li Xin was looking for newcomers and wanted to sign them and train them. Unexpectedly, he became the first one? Was this a stroke of luck?

Zhou Jinyun’s heart was beating so hard that he couldn’t believe it.

Luo Ning smiled slightly, looked at him gently and said, “Xiao Zhou, I liked you when I met you on the day of the audition. You read the original novel from beginning to end several times in order to audition for a drama. There are not many newcomers like you around. You are serious and hardworking, but you lack some opportunities, and now the opportunities have come. Li Ge and Yize appreciate you, so they want to sign you and cultivate them well. You should cherish this opportunity.”

Zhou Jinyun nodded without hesitation: “Yeah, I will definitely!”

Luo Ning looked back at Yu Cheng and said, “Director Yu, don’t scold Xiao Zhou about this matter, he just doesn’t know how to avoid suspicion. The person who really harmed the entire crew was not him, but someone with ulterior motives behind the scenes.”

Yu Cheng was stunned: “You mean…”

Luo Ning nodded: “This group of photos don’t look like paparazzi shots of the filming on the set. These should have been leaked by someone on the set.”

Yu Cheng had actually thought of this possibility. Their crew had moved into the campus to shoot. Except for the open-air scenes that required extras, the other indoor scenes were all shot in the school’s borrowed empty classrooms and offices. The students couldn’t come in even if they wanted to watch.

Of the photos released on Weibo, two of the nine were scenes of Qin Yize and Zhou Jinyun getting along in the office. No matter how powerful the paparazzi were, they would not be able to ambush around the school and take such clear photos from a long distance.

This must have been leaked by an insider.

During the filming, it was a big taboo in the circle to leak secret photos of the crew. No crew would dare to use such a person.

Yu Cheng was silent for a moment, then he touched his chin and said, “What are you going to do?”

Luo Ning said, “Let’s stage a play together and find this person out.”

Then he started to analyze “Catch the Culprit”.

Yu Cheng was a little amused: “We are filming a mystery drama, and there is a thief inside. You can analyze and find out who is most likely?”

Luo Ning touched his chin and analyzed seriously: “In the photos exposed on the Internet so far, Xiao Zhou and Qin Yize are not too intimate, but the photo captures a picture of two people getting along alone, which looks a bit ambiguous. Qin Yize has a lot of fans who are protecting him. This small scandal will not have much impact on him. The spearhead on the Internet 80% point to Xiao Zhou, and they are all scolding Xiao Zhou for being shameless, hugging thighs, and seducing a big name actor, right?”

Zhou Jinyun’s lips turned white, and he nodded in horror: “My Weibo is almost flooded by private messages and comments, all of them are scolding me.”

Luo Ning said: “So, this person sent the photo not to target Qin Yize, but to target you, Xiao Zhou.”

Zhou Jinyun was stunned: “For me? I don’t seem to have offended anyone. Who could it be?”

Luo Ning looked at him in a daze, he was indeed a simple rookie who had just debuted, and he didn’t know the schemes in the circle.

Yu Cheng couldn’t stand it anymore, and said directly: “You didn’t offend others, but others can still look down on you and be jealous of you, you know?”

Luo Ning said: “Director Yu is right. He must also be a newcomer, good-looking, with similar qualifications, he must have joined the crew together with you, he must feel why did you become the leading actor, and also got the guidance of a popular star like Qin Yize, but he couldn’t? Every time he sees you and Qin Yize getting along with each other, he is so jealous that he is going crazy, wishing to replace you and hug Qin Yize’s thigh by himself.”

Zhou Jinyun’s back felt hairy when he heard it: “So that’s how it is…”

Luo Ning patted him on the shoulder and said softly: “Don’t be afraid, you are the male lead I personally chose, ruining you is like ruining my show, no matter what happens, I will definitely stand by your side.”

Luo Ning smiled with crooked eyes, Zhou Jinyun’s heart warmed up, as if the stone hanging in his heart had finally landed, and he was no longer afraid of anything.

Teacher Xiao Luo believed in him so much and valued him so much, he shouldn’t let the screenwriter teacher down.

….

The crew officially started work at 9:00 in the morning. Although everyone said nothing on the surface, there were still many people whispering in private.

Luo Ning knew that they were discussing the scandal on Weibo.

To a great god like Qin Yize, everyone naturally dared not show disrespect, but to Zhou Jinyun, there were a lot of sarcastic remarks behind his back. Some boys looked at Zhou Jinyun strangely, which made Zhou Jinyun feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Sure enough, the first scene was blocked by the director.

Yu Cheng pretended to be very angry, threw the script to the ground with a “slap”, and said, “Xiao Zhou, what are you thinking in your mind? Can you remember such a simple line wrong? Ten words, this line only has ten words.!”

Zhou Jinyun’s voice choked with red eyes: “I’m sorry, I, I’ll do it all over again…”

At this time, Qin Yize suddenly walked over, and protecting Zhou Jinyun behind him, said indifferently: “Director Yu, Xiao Zhou is just a newcomer, he may have woken up early in the morning, and it is normal to remember his lines wrongly. Since he is not in the state, why don’t I teach him privately first, and let him go through the scene, what do you think?”

Director Yu could only put on a smiling face, and said, “Mr. Qin has worked hard.”

Qin Yize took Xiao Zhou away to the office next to the set.

The office was converted into a temporary lounge, which happened to be empty at this time. Zhou Jinyun was a little nervous. After entering the room, he didn’t know where to put his hands and feet. He stammered an apology to Qin Yize: “Mr. Qin, I’m sorry, I…”

Qin Yize interrupted him: “It’s okay. Li Xin drafted this contract, it is a template contract for our studio to sign new artists. You can take a look at it first. If you have any questions or other conditions, you can talk to Li Xin in detail in the afternoon.”

Zhou Jinyun nodded: “Thank you, thank you Teacher Qin…”

Qin Yize said indifferently: “The person you should thank is your screenwriter teacher. If he didn’t appreciate you very much, I wouldn’t bother to meddle in your business.”

Qin Yize said so directly, Zhou Jinyun was stunned silly.

Could it be that Qin Yize came to the crew for… the screenwriter teacher Xiao Luo?!

What to do? He seemed to have found out a great inside story…
