CHAPTER 330: CHAPTER 326 AN FENG SHY ON THE SPOT (REQUESTING MONTHLY TICKETS)

"Everyone, we’re just dating, like many other young people in love. There’s nothing special about it, and we really shouldn’t take up too much public attention. Please stop focusing on our relationship."

Qi Hao earnestly persuaded everyone.

In truth, the more he tried to persuade, the less effective it was, since these media folks were all in the business of generating traffic.

As long as people watched, they made money. With no audience, their reporting was pointless.

"Our producer joked that ’First Love,’ ’Those Years,’ and ’Heartbreak 33 Days’ are a trilogy of romance, but I’ve always felt that’s not so auspicious."

The media below snapped away, and the guests at the event laughed along.

Isn’t it just so?

’First Love’ is the beginning, ’Those Years’ is the process, and ’Heartbreak’ becomes the ending.

The producer must be a bit foolish.

Let’s have her step up and chat with everyone.

Oh, the producer is An Feng.

Never mind then.

"Besides, what if I star in another romance movie in the future? Those three films would be over the limit, and we shouldn’t easily define ourselves as it might lead to self-limitation."

Alright, they already plan to continue acting.

Is this considered showcasing your love on public expenses?

Even fans of the pairing are human; who’d be responsible if they got choked on this overload of affection?

Qi Hao gave an introduction about the movie.

Then he addressed the somewhat disgruntled media:

"Next, you can ask questions about the movie."

The distributor did provide them with red envelopes after all.

No matter how upset the reporters were, they had to start doing their job.

"An Feng, this movie is called ’First Love 2.’ What do you think is the biggest difference between it and ’First Love’?"

An Feng is the producer, so this question directed at her made sense.

"’First Love’ is about youthful secret crushes, while ’Those Years’ is about youthful regrets. They’re like a packaged memory of youth, encompassing everything from excitement to confusion to disappointment... And also, ’First Love’ is the female lead’s growth, while ’Those Years’ is the male lead’s growth."

An Feng thought for a moment and gave her answer.

"Which one do you like more?"

"I like them both; the beauty of a secret crush lies in its purity and innocence, without any impurities. Quietly liking someone, silently dedicating oneself, immersed in one’s self-woven pink dream, fully showcasing the best aspect of youth."

"What about ’Those Years’?"

"’Those Years’ is about genuinely portraying the regrets of youth. Often, during youthful folly and stubbornness, we miss out on the ones we love most. Those unsaid confessions and unfulfilled promises become everlasting pains in our hearts. But it’s precisely these regrets that make youth unforgettable."

"If you were the heroine, would you prefer the male lead in ’First Love’ or the one in ’Those Years’?"

You’re only allowed to ask questions related to the film, so we just wrapped what we want to ask up in a movie cover.

"Comparatively speaking, I like the male lead in ’First Love’ more, but I think growth is a process, like asking Liang whether he prefers Xiaoshui when she was the ugly duckling or when she’s the swan; it’s actually meaningless. Real companionship is growing together, becoming the best version of each other."

An Feng answered smoothly.

The media couldn’t find any fault with it.

"Have you ever worried that you and Qi Hao might end up like the leads in ’Those Years,’ where misunderstandings lead to conflicts, eventually going separate ways towards other happiness?"

It seems related to the film, but actually has almost nothing to do with it.

"I’m not worried. I believe the more a person worries about things that haven’t happened, the more they’ll be trapped in uncertainty and fear, overwhelmed by negative thoughts, resulting in endless internal consumption. Ultimately, excessive worrying doesn’t benefit our lives at all and instead affects our body and mind."

After drinking too much chicken soup, it’s easy to dish out large bowls automatically.

"So, if your male lead left you, do you think you could start anew?"

No matter what, we just want to know when you’ll split.

"Hey, it’s really strange, why are you always worried about my male lead leaving me?"

An Feng was rendered speechless.

Won’t break up! Won’t get divorced! Only widowed!

Are you satisfied now?

"We’re talking about the film; these are all hypothetical. We’re asking about your interpretation of the characters."

Familiar with the routine, the media has already got it mastered.

"That’s something you should ask my male lead. Male lead, will you leave me?"

An Feng tossed the burden to Qi Hao.

Now that she’s Qi Hao’s girlfriend, they both have the responsibility of helping each other out of tricky situations.

"The Earth is round, and it keeps spinning without anyone. None of us are absolutely indispensable to each other, just like the male lead’s final realization in ’Those Years,’ blessing is also a form of love."

Qi Hao’s response was more aligned with the film.

As for his genuine thoughts, saying them in front of the media here serves no purpose.

Telling the press, I’ll never leave An Feng.

Who the heck would believe you?

These days, to see a person, don’t listen to what they say, but watch what they do.

Life has many meaningful things.

Qi Hao’s time is sliced into so many segments, he genuinely has no energy to play the game of wife swapping.

"Would the male and female leads sign a prenuptial agreement?"

The questions were becoming increasingly absurd.

"Sorry, could you please ask questions related to the film, which doesn’t include such plot elements."

Qi Hao refused to answer such inquiries.

His and An Feng’s prenuptial assets are very clear, and as for what they earn after marriage, it’s shared as a couple.

In fact, the media isn’t that interested in property matters.

The main goal is to stir up a topic.

If Qi Hao says he’ll sign a prenup, it means he’s not that confident about marriage.

Considering divorce before even getting married.

If he doesn’t sign, they’ll have something to say about that too.

"An Feng, there’s talk of a kissing scene between the leads, is that true?"

Returning to the film itself, there’s plenty to discuss.

Since you both filmed a kiss scene, don’t blame us for steering the topic into something a bit mature.

"Yes."

An Feng nodded.

"How was filming the kissing scene with Qi Hao? Did it go smoothly?"

"We had a few takes because I was a bit nervous."

An Feng didn’t mind adding some buzz to the film; otherwise, it could have just been released straight away, why bother with a premiere?

"You were already smitten with Qi Hao at that time, right? Filming a kissing scene with someone you adore, did it make you feel dizzy?"

The media pursued relentlessly.

Everyone was brimming with curiosity, eager to hear Qi Hao and An Feng discuss their off-screen ’romance.’

"I didn’t think much about it then, just seriously acting, immersed in the film’s plot. I felt pretty good about it afterward."

An Feng chuckled naively.

The reporters snapped their cameras wildly, yes, that’s the kind of expression they wanted.

If your face were a bit redder, it’d be perfect.

No worries, we’ll Photoshop it later to ensure you look shy and bashful.

"Discussing the kissing scene, An Feng blushes on site"!

"An Feng praises Qi Hao’s kissing skills"!

"One kiss seals the deal, An Feng gives her on-screen first kiss to Qi Hao"!

Apart from questioning the leads, the other cast members were also bombarded with questions.

"Lei Jiayin, it’s rumored you pursued the female lead, can you share some of your tactics with us?"

Lei Jiayin isn’t very famous, but now he’s appearing in Qi Hao’s new film, which has brought him under the media spotlight.

Reportedly, he had a cameo in "Heartbreak 33 Days" too.

It looks like he’s riding along on Qi Hao’s coattails.

They might collaborate again in the future.

"The most important thing in chasing a girl is... sincerity! Alright, it’s actually being shameless. Those with thicker skin have an easier time than the thin-skinned ones."

Lei Jiayin had a knack for humor too.

"How were you selected for this role?"

This was a point of confusion not only for the media.

So many people wanted to join Qi Hao’s film, including many popular young actors, and Lei Jiayin hardly seemed like a heartthrob.

"Because I look older, have a bigger head, it suits the character’s design."

Lei Jiayin answered earnestly.

"Actually, Big Head is very talented in acting, his skills are excellent, with a promising future ahead, likely to achieve great success."

Qi Hao wasn’t stingy with praise for Lei Jiayin.

As long as you act well and fulfill the director’s requirements, the director won’t mind giving you some benefits.

With Qi Hao’s endorsement, Lei Jiayin will surely receive lots of invitations for TV dramas in the future.

And he’s full of gratitude towards Qi Hao.

"Wu Jing, it’s heard that in the movie, An Feng doesn’t end up with Qi Hao but marries you, we just want to know how you managed to snatch An Feng from Qi Hao’s hands."

Even though Wu Jing was fresh and tender when he debuted, time has passed, and he has turned into an old meat, completely lacking the prowess to rival Qi Hao.

"Because I’m more mature," Wu Jing spoke confidently: "Men mature later than women, and the character I play has the advantage of being at a fully mature age over the male lead."

"In real life, do you think you’d have an edge over Qi Hao? Is there a chance you could snatch An Feng from him?"

The media loves to create drama.

If Qi Hao and Wu Jing were to scuffle over An Feng today, they wouldn’t have to worry about the lack of news material.

Wu Jing was stunned.

Do you think you’re being funny? You’re basically setting me up.

"Please don’t get me in trouble; compared to An Feng, I might like Qi Hao more, we’ve been friends for over ten years."

In a bid to keep Qi Hao’s suspicions at bay, he decided to make a joke of himself.

Qi Hao had promised to invest in his new film.

"You guys hang out often, Qi Hao and An Feng are together, Wang Baoqiang has announced his relationship and is preparing to get married, what about you, any progress in your love life?"

Although the reporters sugarcoat their words, anyone can catch their drift.

The others have partners, why are you still single?

Some are in love, some are cheating, and some spend the whole year alone.

"It’s not that there’s no progress at all, it’s just not the time to announce it yet. When there’s definitive news, I’ll definitely notify everyone right away."

Wu Jing had someone in mind.

He recently appeared on a show, and the host was quite attractive, with an impressive body.

He felt love at first sight.

Encountering a girl you like, if luck favors you, there’s true love, if not, at least it’s an enjoyable experience.

He’s currently trying to win her over, so he’s not making up a relationship just for appearances.
