Wen Yan scrolled through the comments, and wow, there were thousands upon thousands of them, almost all of them were insults directed at her.
This is the first time she's become this popular in her two lifetimes.
She thought about it and decided to contact Shen Jinghe to discuss what to do, since he was the other protagonist in the trending topics.
But just then, the director suddenly called.
"Wen Yan, come to my room right now! I saw the trending topic!"
"Okay, I'll be right there."
The director spoke in a serious tone that Wen Yan had never seen before, which made her feel that it was somewhat unusual.
Sure enough, when she refreshed her social media, she found that two other topics had become trending topics.
One topic is boycotting the movie "The Silent" and demanding the replacement of Wen Yan; the other is exposing the dark secrets of Zhou Junye, the director of "The Silent".
In just a few hours, Wen Yan and Zhou Junye were labeled as scumbags.
Wen Yan didn't know what kind of person Zhou Junye was before, but she was very clear that she was definitely not the person described on the internet.
Cyberbullying is truly terrifying; it can turn white into black.
But what's even more frightening are the people behind the scenes.
Wen Yan wasn't quite sure who the person who leaked the information was at first, but when she saw that Zhou Junye was also attacked, she was basically certain.
This person clearly understands the art of generating buzz in the entertainment industry, and deliberately chose to break the news during prime time on Friday night.
This person's purpose was clear: to use Shen Jinghe's powerful fan base to attack her and Zhou Junye.
Apart from Zhang Cheng, who was recently fired for assaulting an elderly extra, the only people she and Zhou Junye had offended were others.
The timing was perfect; he should have already been released from detention and regained his freedom by now.
With this conclusion in mind, Wen Yan quickly went to Zhou Junye's room.
When she arrived, Shen Jinghe and his assistant were already there, along with several other core members of the production crew.
"Wen Yan is here, please sit down." Zhou Junye got straight to the point without any preamble. "This matter has escalated far too quickly. We must clarify it immediately, otherwise the impact will only grow."
Although I don't have any evidence yet, I believe this matter is inextricably linked to Zhang Cheng, whom I fired some time ago. He probably harbors resentment towards Wen Yan for reporting me to the police and for my dismissal, so he resorted to this retaliatory measure.
I will sue him immediately once I have solid evidence, but right now the priority is to manage the public relations for this matter. Everyone is welcome to share their thoughts.
The room was quiet when Zhou Junye was speaking, but as soon as he finished speaking, a cell phone rang.
It was Shen Jinghe's phone call.
However, he only glanced at it before hanging up the phone.
Just as Zhou Junye was about to speak again, Wen Yan's phone rang again.
Wen Yan took out her phone and saw that it was Su Yang calling.
But now was clearly not the time to answer the phone, so she quietly hung up.
However, after pinching him, she planned to send a message to explain.
She now suspects that the phone call Shen Jinghe made earlier was also made by Su Yang.
Su Yang must have seen the trending topic and called specifically to inquire about the situation. She needs to explain to Su Yang to prevent her from believing it too.
As she was editing the text message, both her and Shen Jinghe's phones vibrated at the same time.
It turns out that Su Yang had also added Shen Jinghe to the "Our Family" group chat.
They immediately tagged Wen Yan and Shen Jinghe.
"Jinghe, Yanyan, I saw it trending online, why aren't you answering the phone?"
Are you two together now?
'Please reply to my message or call me when you see this. My mom is very worried.'
When their phones rang at the same time, it didn't seem like much, but when they rang one after another, everyone couldn't help but look at them with surprise.
Wen Yan quickly silenced her phone and explained, "My mom saw the trending topic too and asked me what happened."
Shen Jinghe: "My mom too."
No one present expected that these two seemingly unrelated people would have the same mother.
The director also said, "Then you should explain it a little, so your families won't worry."
