Sure enough, Chen Xue's arrangement was correct. The next day, Chen Xue posted a long article on Zhou Xiao's new blog.
"Thank you for your concern. Everything is fine now! I just learned this morning about the online speculation about my injury. I want to clarify that this injury is not unrelated to the crew. The crew's security is very good.
The crew's management immediately rushed me to the hospital and made proper arrangements. I'm very grateful to Director Chen and his team. Thank you!"
The caption included a current selfie of herself and a photo of herself being taken to the ambulance that night.
After this new post was published, the Wushuang crew also followed suit, liking and forwarding it. For a time, it became a hot topic again and was on several hot searches.
But no matter what, Chen Xue breathed a sigh of relief. At least the current direction was good. Although some of the comments below, astute people also noticed, the back of this Weibo post directly pointed to other people in the crew.
After all, the broken wire was not a problem of the crew, it was cut off manually.
That's a big problem. Hence, all sorts of conspiracy theories followed.
This was something the crew and Chen Xue had anticipated. With the incident having become so serious, it was either the crew or someone else who would take the blame.
There must be an explanation. It’s impossible that Zhou Xiao broke it himself!
So this also forced the crew to make a statement.
"This incident happened suddenly. We are fully investigating and will give @actorZhouXiao @ChenxiEntertainment an explanation. Please rest assured!"
Now that the crew has said this, the others will definitely be unable to sit still.
For a time, other artists in the crew were all worried and posted statements to express their support for a thorough investigation.
If I don't say anything at this time, isn't it telling people that there is something wrong with me and that I have a grudge against Zhou Xiao?
[Hiss~ Doesn't that just mean someone's behind this? Oh my god, what has Zhou Xiao done that's so outrageous that someone wants to kill her?! How terrifying!]
[The person above is talking nonsense. Even if our Xiaoxiao did something, she can’t do it like this!
This is intentional injury, which is already illegal. I support the crew's thorough investigation. Legal experts can't just ignore it!
Even so, Zhou Xiao is such a troublemaker. How dare the crew use someone like him?!
[The guy above is a professional hater, right? Whose fan is he? Are you jealous of my Xiaoxiao and are here to troll her? Seriously, he can't beat her, so he just keeps doing shitty things.]
......
There was a heated debate online, and some seemingly true rumors also emerged.
For example, Zhou Xiao acted arrogantly and disrespectfully to his seniors in the crew, and other people in the crew didn't dare to talk to Zhou Xiao. Zhou Xiao's acting was terrible, and he was scolded by the director every day. In short, it was very lively on the Internet.
Zhou Xiao was browsing the news on her phone, not caring what people were saying about her online.
She discovered that she had gained quite a few fans in just one day. Even when she was criticized for some unpleasant things, some fans actually spoke up for her!
This surprised her. She exclaimed to Chen Xue, "I never thought that I would have a day where I would be on the trending search and gain followers!"
Chen Xue took the chicken soup she had packed from outside and poured a bowl for Zhou Xiao and handed it to her.
"What's the big deal? The incident was so serious that it even became a trending topic. Isn't it normal for her to gain followers?"
Overall, this isn't a bad thing for you. At least after this incident, you're no longer so marginalized in the circle, and at least you have a name."
Zhou Xiao smiled bitterly: "I don't want that to happen. I hope that people will remember me for my acting skills and my drama, not for these messy news stories."
Chen Xue praised: "If you have ambition, then you should lie down and recuperate so that you can continue filming.
Fortunately, you have already finished filming most of the later literary scenes this time.
The rest are some fighting scenes. I have already discussed with the crew, and the crew will ask a stand-in to continue the rest of the scenes. As for the remaining miscellaneous scenes.
Director Chen said we can film other people first. If you are better, you can still do it. If you are not well, we can only use a stand-in!"
"Ah?" As someone who wanted to be a good actor, Zhou Xiao subconsciously rejected the idea of having a stand-in.
Chen Xue saw through her mentality and comforted her, "There's nothing we can do about it. You should be thankful that you were vigilant enough before and didn't give the bad guys behind the scenes a chance.
Otherwise you will get hurt right from the start and you won’t even have a chance to shoot Wushuang!
You will definitely be replaced. Wushuang is a big production, and they can't delay the shooting progress just for an 18th-tier actor like you. Fortunately, your scenes are almost finished now, and it is not uncommon to use a stand-in for fighting scenes in the circle.
Plus, you were injured on the set, so we were in the right and it was hard for them to just replace you. Fortunately!"
What's so lucky about this! Zhou Xiao's eyes were cold.
She knew that her acting skills were not outstanding in the crew, at best, she could not perform well, so how could she say that she was amazing?
Shao Qian, Lin Xuan and some veteran actors are all better than her in acting, so her only advantage in this movie is her fighting skills.
Now that she is injured, this advantage is gone. What chance does she still have after the show is aired?
Zhou Xiao gritted his teeth in hatred, but he could do nothing about it.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiao couldn't drink the soup anymore and didn't want to play with his phone anymore.
Just pull up the quilt and go to sleep.
Chen Xue knew that she was depressed, but there was nothing she could do. It would take a hundred days to heal a broken bone, and she couldn't possibly ask her to get up and shoot a fight scene now!
Chen Xue sighed, put the things in her hand aside, asked An Yue to take good care of Zhou Xiao, and went to the crew to see how the investigation was going.
Director Chen was also troubled because he checked the on-site surveillance and found nothing unusual.
The most frustrating thing is that the place where the wire ropes are stored is a blind spot for surveillance, and nothing was captured at all.
