CP is forcing me to have a wife, and the male protagonist asked me who he is

"Sister Gu Mei, are you okay? I saw the trending search..."

Xie Zhuxin picked up the phone and asked cautiously.

Gu Mei's voice on the phone was much calmer than she had imagined.

"Did I worry you? I'm fine. Don't worry, this isn't the first time I've dealt with this kind of situation. I'll always find a way to solve it."

Hearing Sister Gu Mei's still cheerful voice, Xie Zhuxin finally felt relieved.

I don’t know why, but despite all the rumors from outside, the film’s box office prospects have been cast a shadow.

But as long as she heard Gu Mei say lightly that it was okay, she inexplicably felt that the situation was not that bad.

Sure enough, the next morning, things took a new turn.

"Gu Mei's husband said that the previous video was an emotional speech between a drunken man and his friends, and it was not entirely her true thoughts.

"Whether they are officially divorced or not, Gu Mei and his daughter will always be his family. Please be kind to him and respect his desire to protect his family..."

As soon as this latest statement came out, public opinion was in an uproar again.

Ever since the news of Gu Mei's divorce broke, Mr. Jin's online reputation has been mixed.

After all, Gu Mei has a good reputation among the people, and she has never said a bad word about her husband publicly after announcing their divorce.

However, he accused her of cheating without any basis, which tarnished her image.

But as soon as the video came out yesterday, the image of a loving father who missed his daughter appeared in front of the public, and his reputation immediately rebounded.

Correspondingly, Gu Mei's image plummeted because she was exposed by herself that she ignored her family, did not care about her daughter, and even prevented the child from meeting her father.

Today's statement by President Jin shows that he is broad-minded and righteous.

Gu Mei's side was naturally made to look even uglier.

Many marketing accounts are already ready to take advantage of the situation.

But Gu Mei remained silent despite the noise from the outside world.

Xie Zhuxin took a plane early in the morning and arrived at the new roadshow city.

Half a day had passed and the next roadshow was about to begin, but there was still no movement from Gu Mei.

Xie Zhuxin couldn't help it and called Gu Mei again.

Fortunately, this time, I finally got through in one go.

"Zhu Xin, isn't today's first road show about to start? How do you have time to call me?"

Gu Mei's voice was still as bright and calm as ever.

But Xie Zhuxin was no longer as easy to talk to as she was last night.

"Sister Gu Mei, you said yesterday that it was okay and that you had a way to solve it. But today, the statement from that side is so detrimental to your image. Why don't you fight back? It's already this time, why are you still giving him face!"

Xie Zhuxin couldn't control her emotions.

If the video of Mr. Jin last night can still be understood as a drunken behavior.

Then the statement he issued today was clearly the work of the entertainment public relations team!

Ordinary netizens may not be able to see it.

But Xie Zhuxin has experienced so many public opinion storms and has dealt with these things countless times. How could he not smell this familiar "fox smell"?

This is enough to show that this incident is not just a family dispute involving Gu Mei alone.

There are also many unclear interest games involved.

Maybe, they came here just for "Born in July" which is currently selling very well!

It just so happened that at this time, Gu Mei not only withdrew from the roadshow and was unwilling to face the media directly, she also failed to issue a statement in time to refute it.

If this drags on, people will just think she's acquiescing to the accusation.

Once negative public opinion about a director arises, can the movie stay out of it?

Can the hard work of the entire film’s creative team be unaffected?

Now is not the time to clear one's name!

"Zhu Xin, don't be anxious, listen to me first."

Gu Mei's magnetic mezzo-soprano voice slowly sounded, calming Xie Zhuxin down a little.

"I know you think I'm back to my old ways. But this time, it's not true.

"I know that Lao Jin hired a PR team behind this move. I also know what conditions he wants to get in exchange.

"I have already reached an agreement with him. I can give him what he wants. But he can't do anything else before the movie is released, otherwise the agreement will be invalid immediately!

"So don't worry, I'm not just taking the beating without fighting back, I just don't want to cause any more trouble.

"After issuing this statement, he will shut up. Our roadshow can proceed as normal."

Upon hearing this, Xie Zhuxin couldn't help but be surprised and happy.

Although I don’t know how much Sister Gu Mei paid and how many concessions she made in order to win over her husband.

But at least as long as we get through these few days, movie promotions can return to normal!

"Great! Then Sister Gu Mei, when will you return to the team? Meng Ting and the others have been asking me. Without you to support us, everyone feels uneasy!"

Xie Zhuxin asked with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Gu Mei didn't respond, but just sighed softly.

"I'll let you lead the roadshow from now on. While I'm away, please find new promotional spots and keep the movie going."

What this means...

Xie Zhuxin blurted out.

"Sister Gu Mei, are you really not coming back?"

Gu Mei on the phone gave a bitter smile.

"I can't help it. There are some things that I have to watch over personally. Whether it's Lao Jin or anyone else, I can't let them stir up trouble again and affect the performance of the movie!"

Her voice dropped.

"This is my first directorial work, and it's like my own child. Zhu Xin, can you take care of it for me temporarily?"

Xie Zhuxin bit her lips tightly.

Gu Mei's voice remained calm throughout.

But she could feel her heart as if something was gently brushing against it, and it began to tremble violently.

Yes, "Born in July" is Sister Gu Mei's directorial debut.

But isn’t it also his film acting debut?

Don’t you treat the character of Qiqi like your own child?

Xie Zhuxin suddenly understood——

Why is it that when there are so many experienced film creators who can take charge of the overall situation, Sister Gu Mei chose to entrust this important task to herself?

Because only the two of them can best understand each other's feelings about this movie.

Whether you have other ideas or not, it will never harm this work.

"I understand. Just do your job. Leave the promotion of the movie to me. I will do my best!"

As his emotions got the better of him, Xie Zhuxin no longer thought about how heavy the responsibility was. He gritted his teeth and agreed immediately.

Gu Mei on the other end of the phone was visibly relieved.

"Okay, from now on, this movie is up to you!"
