"Okay, director, almost done!" Wen Yan replied to Su Yang in the group chat immediately.
"Mom, nothing of the sort happened. My second brother and I are innocent."
Shen Jinghe: ...Why does the word "innocence" sound so strange? But what she said is indeed correct.
"The reason is that I offended a petty person in the crew before, and after I got him arrested, he was fired from the crew. Because of this, he hates me and the director, and now he's pulling this dirty trick to get back at us! What a piece of trash! You couldn't find such a scoundrel even in a garbage dump! A despicable wretch!"
Shen Jinghe: ...You said it would be ready soon? We're actually chatting now. Speaking of which, she types really fast! And those two identical thumbs, is she a mutant?
"Besides, my second brother and I are currently in a meeting with the production crew, discussing countermeasures. I'll call you again after I'm done here; it's not convenient right now."
'Okay, I'm glad you two are alright. I couldn't get through to you on the phone earlier, and I was worried something had happened to you.'
"By the way, if your crew can't handle it, then leave it to your family."
"Okay, Mom, but I think we can handle this ourselves. My second brother and I are going to our meeting now!"
Go ahead, go ahead.
Wen Yan typed quickly, and soon she put down her phone.
Shen Jinghe, on the other hand, just stared at his phone screen the whole time and showed no intention of making a move.
Zhou Junye glanced at him and couldn't help but ask, "Don't you need to explain this to your family?"
Shen Jinghe simply put his phone back in his pocket: "I've already explained it."
Zhou Junye: "??? When? I didn't see you move your hand."
Shen Jinghe remained expressionless: "Then you must have seen wrong."
"Really?" Zhou Junye was puzzled, but he quickly accepted the explanation.
Yes, he must have missed it.
Wen Yan: [As expected of an actor, your acting skills are top-notch. I want to give you a shout-out, Shen Jinghe, 666!]
Shen Jinghe glanced at Wen Yan, speechless.
Is this what you call acting? This is called keeping your emotions in check; it's innate, something novices can only envy!
-
After this little incident, everyone quickly discussed countermeasures.
Zhou Junye said, "I can explain the camping trip by posting an explanation. There were more than just the two of you in the car that night. According to their logic, if the two of you were having sex in the car, then what about the four of you? Was it a group sex? That's ridiculous. The crew filmed a lot of videos that day, and I can release even higher definition ones."
"As for the landslide, it was caused by force majeure. The fact that this kind of thing can be used to blame our actors only shows that some fans have lost their ability to think. This direction of public opinion is wrong."
"So Jinghe, although you are the victim in this whole public opinion incident, and no one has criticized you from beginning to end, only people feel sorry for you, it seems that this has no impact on you. But I think you should also come out and guide public opinion. What do you think?"
"Of course, I will clarify this; it is my responsibility to do so."
Zhou Junye nodded, then looked at Wen Yan: "Wen Yan, you're a newcomer right now. If things aren't handled properly, the damage to you will be devastating. Your acting career might be ruined before it even begins."
"So my advice is to play it safe. Right now, the people who have the most complaints about you are Jinghe's fans. After I and the production team issue a statement, you can comment, repost, and write your own little essay. But don't get involved with Jinghe's side, or people will say you're trying to ride her coattails."
Before Wen Yan could react, Shen Jinghe spoke first.
"I object. Since this is a clarification, and since these things are completely fabricated, why can't we interact openly and honestly? I'm not only going to issue a statement, but I'm also going to tag Wenyan when I issue it."
"Many couples in the industry who were initially paired up for publicity ended up having a falling out by the time they were forced to clarify. Not only were their fans tearing each other apart, but the parties involved were also secretly fighting amongst themselves. People with this kind of relationship will not interact, and they will not collaborate in the future."
“But Wen Yan and I are different. We are now colleagues in the same film crew, and we will have more interaction when the movie is released. I don’t think faking death is the best option for her right now.”
"What about your fans?"
"If both she and I are open and aboveboard, our fans will naturally not say anything."
Zhou Junye paused, then looked at Wen Yan: "So what do you think?"
Wen Yan thought about it carefully and said, "I agree with Teacher Shen's suggestion. I think as long as I can maintain a good balance during the interaction, Teacher Shen's fans won't be offended. However..."
"you say."
"I think the most important thing is that we need to find evidence to prove that Zhang Cheng was the mastermind behind this. As long as we can find out who the culprit is, the tide will turn, and we won't even need to explain. He will become the target of everyone's criticism."
“You’re right, but it will take time and a lot of money to find him.”
Yeah, the thought of spending a lot of money makes Wen Yan feel disgusted.
That damned Zhang Cheng! He's making money by selling fake materials, and now they want to expose him, but instead they have to spend money!
“That’s settled then!” Zhou Junye continued. “Let’s each issue our own statements first, and then I’ll reveal that we’re currently investigating the mastermind behind this, to guide public opinion. By the way, Wen Yan, once you’ve finished writing your statement, send it to me for a look. I’ll make sure it’s okay before you send it.”
"Um!"
