After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity
Chapter 187 - 187 187 Someone is Targeting Li YanbaiChapter 187: Chapter 187: Someone is Targeting Li Yanbai Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Someone is Targeting Li Yanbai Director Chen was all about making movies quietly, but after two strange rumors had emerged in a row, the “Black Shadow” crew had to come out and do some publicity.
Director Chen was lazy; his focus was entirely on filmmaking.
There were no promotional ads, only a name and the announcement of the start of shooting.
This sufficiently reflected Director Chen’s laziness!
However, the actors’ fans were very supportive and flocked to the “Black Shadow” promotional Weibo account to leave messages.
“Looking forward to my Li Yanbai’s undercover cop film!”
“Anything Director Chen makes, is worth a watch!”
“Not to say anything else, just want to ask when it will be released.”
“There’s Fake Princess, this movie is doomed.”
“Shen Yan’s haters, don’t come here barking.”
“Please comment civilly and uphold the peace of the community!”
“Don’t stir up trouble and create a smoggy mess; careful or Director Chen might delete his Weibo.”
Director Chen often did just that.
So the comments section on Director Chen’s Weibo was always very harmonious.
As soon as any negative public opinion arose, he would immediately delete it.
Even so, everyone would still say Director Chen was truly forthright.
“Support Yanyan! Can’t wait for ‘Black Shadow’ to hit the theaters! I’ll be the first to book tickets!”
“Support ‘Black Shadow’!”
Behind these, many Fireworks fans came out to support Shen Yan.
It was Shen Yan’s first time acting in a movie, and it was a Director Chen film at that, so Fireworks fans felt a lot of pressure, worried that Shen Yan would be ridiculed for performing poorly and even more so attacked by the haters.
The Fireworks fans hoped that Shen Yan could have a smooth experience.
Regarding the male and female leads of “Black Shadow,” nothing had been revealed.
With Li Yanbai participating in the film, everyone guessed that he was the male lead.
Since the incident with Tao Rongye, Li Yanbai had also gained quite a few casual fans, and his original fans felt very sympathetic towards him, this kind-hearted man.
He had even allowed for such a thing to happen, showing how much he valued that bit of old school friendship.
The fans voluntarily ignored his subtle feelings for Song Xuan, as they did not think Song Xuan was worthy of Li Yanbai.
Without mention, there might not be any possibility for Li Yanbai and Song Xuan.

“Cut!”
Director Chen shouted loudly and ran over with a few staff members to help Li Yanbai up.
Li Yanbai climbed up from a lower height, limping obviously because he had twisted something.
A stool was placed behind him, and he sat down as cold sweat appeared on his forehead from the pain.
Shen Yan followed and walked over from the other side; in this scene, she and Li Yanbai had a confrontation, and she was calling his name from a distance away.
Li Yanbai had accidentally fallen from a height.
So now we had the scene in front of us.
“What’s the deal with the pad below,” Director Chen saw that where he had fallen there was no pad, instead, it was positioned off to the side.
Fortunately, it wasn’t too high, or it would have been terrible for Li Yanbai.
Shen Yan looked towards the staff who had been handling the pad earlier; the staff member shrank back a bit, with so many people around, who could tell who brought the pad over?
But Shen Yan had worked with the staff and remembered each person’s face.
Director Chen had expressly explained to everyone where the fall would happen, yet the pad was still placed incorrectly.
Believing it was unintentional was out of the question.
Glancing at Li Yanbai sitting on the stool, Shen Yan’s first reaction was: someone was out to get Li Yanbai.
Such things were common in the entertainment industry, and Shen Yan wasn’t surprised at all.
“It’s just a bump and bruise, nothing serious,” Li Yanbai said this because he didn’t want Director Chen to scold the staff.
These kinds of accidents are inevitable when filming such scenes.
Director Chen frowned upon hearing this.
Before resuming filming with Li Yanbai, Director Chen had his trustworthy people check everything. Some staff were permanent, while others were hired midway; Director Chen wasn’t naive and knew there must be some underhandedness going on.
For the most dangerous scenes, particularly with the props, Director Chen even conducted the inspections himself, preventing others from tampering with them.
No matter how careful you are, there will always be oversights, and Shen Yan was there watching over everything for everyone’s safety.
If the incident with the broken leg was an accident, the fact that Shen Yan later found several props that had been tampered with confirmed her suspicion that someone was targeting Li Yanbai.
“Mr. Li,” after it was over, Shen Yan called out to an exhausted Li Yanbai.
Li Yanbai’s assistant helped him to stand steady.
“You haven’t left?” Li Yanbai’s scenes were filmed the latest, and Shen Yan’s part was much less significant and had wrapped up early. She didn’t expect to find her still waiting there.
“Someone has messed with the props. Have you offended anyone recently, Mr. Li?” Without waiting for his response, she continued, “I took a photo of the person who did it and sent it to you.”
What to do next was up to Li Yanbai.
Li Yanbai, upon hearing her words, was stunned for a moment and then smiled, “Thank you.”
Seeing his reaction, Shen Yan presumed he had an idea of what was going on, so she didn’t meddle further. She sent the evidence in the form of photos and left the set with Xiao Zhao.
The rest area of the set was not far away; it was within walking distance.
“Yanyan, you’re really kind to Mr. Li,” Xiao Zhao remarked spontaneously.
“He has been nice to me too,” so she would return the favor.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhao’s eyes curved into a smile: “Yanyan, you’re such a good person.”
Shen Yan was taken aback, “I’m not as good as you think I am. Some kindness can be feigned. Don’t think too highly of human nature.”
Xiao Zhao laughed, “I don’t care, I just think you’re good!”
She was determined to be a fan of Shen Yan!
Shen Yan gave a faint smile but didn’t correct Xiao Zhao’s opinion any further.
Next, Shen Yan was headed to an even more isolated location for filming, and everyone’s faces soured when they heard they’d be staying in shipping containers.
“With this dreadful weather, living in a shipping container, we’ll suffocate. We’re not here to make a movie; we’ve come to suffer and endure hardship.”
“Stop complaining. We’ve got it good here. In a worse environment, you’d have to live in a tiny tent.”
“There might be bugs at this time of year. Everyone better be prepared with various medicines for protection.”
Amid the complaints, everyone departed from the county’s filming area by truck.
Shen Yan sat at the front of a truck, listening to everyone’s complaints, her mind was very calm.
Upon reaching the new filming site, Shen Yan joined in with everyone else’s work.
The young actresses that were traveling with her, seeing her busy, inevitably spoke behind her back, feeling Shen Yan was trying to ingratiate herself with the crew members.
The reason Shen Yan was getting involved was first, to ensure her safety when using prop and second, she had nothing else to do and was willing to help out where she could.
Aside from a few actors who thought Shen Yan was putting on a front, the staff really liked this actress who seemed untouchably beautiful but was actually quite approachable.
Xiao Zhao also joined in with Shen Yan among the staff’s work, thrilled to be busy working alongside her idol.
“You really don’t give yourself any downtime,” Li Yanbai found her every time he came looking for people on the staff side.
Shen Yan took a bottle of mineral water handed to her by Xiao Zhao, took a few sips, and looked at Li Yanbai, “Aren’t you going to go prepare, Mr. Li?”
“That matter has been taken care of. The staff member was indeed someone sent specifically to watch me. Shen Yan, I really have to thank you.”
Shen Yan nodded and didn’t ask any further questions.
Without Shen Yan asking, Li Yanbai spoke up, “You probably can guess who wants to cause me harm. Remember Tao Rongye? Although he’s retired now, he was once an award-winning actor in this industry, and he still has some connections left here.”
When mentioning Tao Rongye, Shen Yan thought of Xu Zishen and Liu Qiang, who also retired one after the other.
“Did you report it to the police?” Shen Yan asked.
Li Yanbai shook his head, his brows furrowed with worry, “I’m just concerned that Song Xuan might be targeted by him.”
After saying this, he looked at Shen Yan again, “Take care of yourself too.”
After this exchange with Shen Yan, Li Yanbai had an accident the following day.
