Chapter 894 ·This Time It_s My Turn to Help You

Chen Fan didn't understand what Ding Dian was up to, but he still went back to the study and turned on the computer.

Following Ding Dian's hint, he opened Xinlang.com's webpage.

Right there in the most prominent position on the homepage, he immediately saw a video title.

"《Exclusive Interview, Award-winning Actress Wen Wan》."

Chen Fan was somewhat surprised. He clicked on the video and found it was indeed a video interview with Wen Wan.

"Recently, Wen Wan, who already holds two Best Actress awards from Golden Horse and Hong Kong Film Awards, unexpectedly found herself at the center of a public opinion storm. While online revelations and discussions mixed truth with fiction, Wen Wan, as the person involved, had never appeared to make any statement."

"Yesterday, Xinlang.com was invited by Wen Wan for an exclusive interview."

A female reporter explained on screen about the public pressure Wen Wan had been facing recently, then the scene changed to a hotel suite.

Wen Wan, who hadn't appeared in public for several days, was wearing casual sportswear, sitting on the sofa chatting with the female reporter.

Reporter: "Have you been following the recent online public opinion?"

Wen Wan smiled: "With such intense public discussion, of course I've noticed."

Reporter: "What are your thoughts about it?"

Wen Wan: "I don't have any particular thoughts. After all, as a public figure, you have to accept both good and bad comments."

Reporter: "Then regarding that online report, do you have anything to say?"

Wen Wan: "I've read that report. It's seriously inaccurate and contains fabrications."

Reporter: "Fabrications? Which aspects are you referring to?"

Seeing Wen Wan's silence, the female reporter suddenly changed her questioning approach.

"Let me ask this way then, when you were still teaching at the university, did you know Chen Fan?"

Wen Wan: "Yes. He even took my public elective course."

Reporter: "The report says Chen Fan lived in your faculty apartment, is this true?"

Wen Wan nodded: "That's also true, but it's different from what was described in the report."

"At that time, my mother was seriously ill, having undergone multiple surgeries and continuing treatment. With my limited financial means, I had no choice but to rent out one of the rooms in the apartment."

"Later, Chen Fan happened to be looking for accommodation, so I rented one of the rooms to him."

"Strictly speaking, he was my tenant."

Reporter: "One being a teacher and one being a student, yet living under the same roof, weren't you worried about gossip at school?"

Wen Wan smiled: "Compared to my mother's illness, do you think I would care about some gossip?"

"Besides, it wasn't just Chen Fan and me living there at the time, my mother was there too."

Reporter: "Having a stranger suddenly living in your home, didn't you find it inconvenient?"

Wen Wan: "Not at all. During the day, I had classes to teach and had to accompany my mother to the hospital for treatment. I was rarely home most of the time. And Chen Fan seemed to be busy with his startup during that period, so he was hardly ever seen as well."

At this point, Wen Wan smiled.

"Though he was a tenant, we actually saw each other only a handful of times each day."

The female reporter smiled: "I see. Then may I ask, what was your impression of Chen Fan at that time?"

"Impression..."

Wen Wan adjusted her sitting position, her expression seeming to drift into memories.

"Although he was still a university student then, he gave off an impression of being very mature, confident, and steady. I suppose that's why he became successful."

The female reporter joked, "That's high praise indeed. However, the report also claims that your current path into entertainment, entering the industry and quickly rising to fame, was because Chen Fan was pulling strings behind the scenes, that he spent heavily to make you famous. Do you agree with this?"

Wen Wan smiled: "Saying that I entered the entertainment industry because of Chen Fan, that's not false. I admit it."

The female reporter was visibly stunned.

"You admit it?"

Wen Wan nodded: "Initially, I spent all my money on my mother's treatment, living in poverty. Later, during my mother's final days, she didn't want to suffer lying in the hospital anymore, and I wanted to take her traveling around, so I sold the house to Chen Fan."

"After my mother passed away, I returned to Yunhai alone, living very poorly. I even sang at bars to make money, often getting fired by owners because no customers requested songs..."

At this point, Wen Wan smiled, "Everything I'm saying is true. I really had nowhere to turn then. At my lowest point, I unexpectedly ran into Chen Fan again."

"By that time, Chen Fan had achieved some success with his startup. After hearing about my situation, he suggested I try using my expertise to become a screenwriter."

"Later, Chen Fan told me a story, and I wrote an outline based on it, which became the movie everyone knows as 《Hero》. I took the script to Sunflower Pictures, which is now Feifan Media."

"Luckily, the script was bought, and I became a company screenwriter."

"I was already very satisfied with things ending there. But unexpectedly, there was another turn of events."

"Later, our company sold the script to director Zhang Yimou, and as the screenwriter, I was called to Beijing for a script discussion meeting, where I met Director Zhang."

"Director Zhang felt my temperament was perfect for the role of Ruyue in Hero, and that's how, by chance, I entered the film industry."

"For me, entering the entertainment industry was completely unexpected. I never dared to imagine it before. My only wish was to have a stable job that could provide for basic needs."

Wen Wan smiled at the reporter.

"So really, my guide into the film industry should be Director Zhang, not Chen Fan. I'm sincerely grateful to Director Zhang."

"Of course, I'm also very grateful to Chen Fan. He reached out to help a friend when I was at my lowest point. I'll always remember this kindness."

Reporter: "I had no idea you had such experiences before your debut. I'm sure fans will be moved to tears by their idol's story."

"Then regarding Chen Fan's later acquisition of Sunflower Pictures and establishment of Feifan Media, some say he entered the film industry because of you..."

Wen Wan waved her hand: "That's also a misunderstanding. Chen Fan has always been interested in the entertainment industry. Don't forget his other identity."

The reporter suddenly remembered, "Ah, right. He's Commoner, he's also a singer-songwriter."

Wen Wan nodded with a smile: "That's right. Besides being a singer, he's also very talented and understands screenplay writing. Like the script for 《The Myth》 that I filmed before, that was Chen Fan's idea too."

Reporter widened her eyes: "Really? I hadn't expected that."

Wen Wan joked: "Actually, if you ask me, I think he's more suited to being a big star than a businessman."

The reporter laughed, "It seems you and Mr. Chen Fan are indeed good friends."

"For the final question of this interview, may I ask you one last thing?"

"Regarding the rumors about Chen Fan and you, what are your feelings toward Mr. Chen Fan?"

Wen Wan adjusted her sitting position, looked at the camera, and suddenly gave a playful smile.

"Mr. Chen Fan is a very charismatic person, I think any woman who spends time with him would develop feelings."

"Of course I like him very much, but marrying him is impossible."
