Chapter 462: The homophone "呸"
On New Year's Eve, the crew had a holiday, and Qin Zhihua also gave her team a holiday. She didn't expect that she would be targeted, and her team didn't expect that the paparazzi would be so dedicated. When a staff member of the team found out, it was almost the time when Lan Xiaoxi finished breakfast and opened WB to look for gossip.
At this time, the term "Qin Zhihua's sponsor" was already on the top of the trending search list. When Lan Xiaoxi clicked on it, she glanced at the second term, "Xu Shuo's Wife Selection". She didn't think much about it, thinking it was a promotion for a film or TV show, so she would eat the melon first.
Lan Xiaoxi complained to Yue Cheng while watching: "They didn't draw the curtains. Aren't there enough precedents? Oh, tsk, it's so intense, why not just pull down the curtains and use them as a blanket."
Yue Cheng was helpless. In the past, he always watched the jokes with his wife, but now his wife is pregnant! Who can tell him whether paying attention to these meaningless celebrity gossips every day will affect the future education of his children?
The paparazzi only released videos and pictures, and the "netizens" in the comment section helped to add a lot of information.
The whistleblower said that the first play Qin Zhihua starred in was paid by a sponsor in the industry. In the nearly ten years since then, Qin Zhihua has changed three or four sponsors. The whistleblower could not afford to offend these sponsors, so he did not dare to release the evidence. The names of the sponsors were replaced by the initials of the pinyin. The whistleblower also listed the relationship between each play Qin Zhihua starred in and each sponsor.
The "financial sponsor" in the video did not need the whistleblower to "claim" again, as netizens themselves dug out his name and identity. It is said that Qin Zhihua met Xu Shuo at a cocktail party, and she also posted photos of the party on her own Weibo. The netizens followed the friendly reminder to her Weibo and saw that it was real. In the photo of her and Ling Ling, the eldest daughter of the Ling family, Xu Shuo was in the background, holding a champagne glass and chatting with others!
Then another account came out saying that the biggest investor in the drama that Qin Zhihua had just started filming half a month ago was the Xu Group. Everyone in the industry knows that the Xu Group wants to enter the entertainment industry to get a piece of the pie. Everyone must remember that last month, Shenghai Entertainment had a major internal purge and kicked the Xu Group out. After Xu Group suffered a setback at Shenghai, they turned around and sought cooperation with smaller companies. Liushi Entertainment is their new partner. So, everyone understands that with the proximity and the good things to be kept within the family, right? "What the hell do you understand!" Qin Zhihua's assistant held the phone, his face flushed with anger, and cursed, then looked up at the faces of his agent and Qin Zhihua, and said, "Sister Zhizhi, I have been with you since your debut. We have all seen how hard you have worked and how much you have given to acting over the years. You haven't even had a boyfriend. It's not like what they say!"
Qin Zhihua had a scene to shoot this morning, so she got up at daybreak. When she woke up, Xu Shuo woke up too, and they spent some time together before Xu Shuo said he would not delay her filming, and left without even having breakfast.
After being disturbed by Xu Shuo, Qin Zhihua had little time left, and her assistant urged her to go out and rush to the crew. Fortunately, the crew was very close, and she arrived on time and hurried to put on makeup, and had no time to look at her phone. Because it was a period costume, it took a long time to make up, and she even leaned back in the chair and squinted for a while during the makeup.
After she had put on her makeup and changed her clothes, they were preparing to start filming when her agent came hurriedly to her with an extremely grim look on his face. He said that something had happened and that he had asked the director for half a day off and would take her back to the hotel first.
When Qin Zhihua left the crew, she did not miss the subtle looks that several staff members gave her, and she already had a bad feeling in her heart.
The agent sat opposite Qin Zhihua, put out his cigarette in the ashtray, and asked her, "Did you offend anyone recently?"
It's not surprising to be stalked by paparazzi, but it's strange that the paparazzi took the photos and sent them out directly without negotiating the price. Moreover, they were labeled as "sponsor". It's obvious that there were internet trolls leading the comments below, and it even topped the hot search list.
The agent thought that Qin Zhihua had been attacked before, and no one knew where the rumors about the sponsor came from. They had explained it in interviews and even sent a lawyer's letter. It couldn't be said that no one believed it. Those who should attack her would still attack her. But the ones who attacked her were basically some unknown marketing accounts that were just trying to attract traffic. There wasn't much of a scene, and they were just jumping up and down like shrimps, so they didn't bother to care.
This time, it was obviously different. The agent speculated that it was premeditated.
Qin Zhihua stared at the phone interface, sliding his fingers from time to time, without saying a word.
The assistant explained for her: "Brother, you know that Sister Zhizhi is the kindest person to everyone. Everyone who has worked with her before praises her. Everyone in the crew likes her very much..."
As she spoke, she thought of an exception and muttered softly, "Except for that petty-minded persecution-complexioned patient named Tan Xin." Just now when she was still in the crew, she ran into Tan Xin's assistant. It was really bad luck.
Qin Zhihua didn't have time to eat breakfast when he went out to the crew. The assistant thought that there was some breakfast in the crew anyway, so he could get it when he got there. Qin Zhihua had to eat something anyway, otherwise he would be exhausted after doing action scenes all morning.
There happened to be shrimp dumplings for breakfast, which were delicious and not fattening, and Qin Zhihua liked them too. There were only two left, and just when the assistant was about to reach out to take one, Tan Xin's assistant took it first. It would have been fine if she had taken it, at worst she could have gone out to buy another one, but the other party deliberately choked her, saying that Qin Zhihua deliberately didn't hold the sword firmly when filming the rival scene yesterday, and poked a bloody mark on the back of Tan Xin's hand, affecting her filming. She also said that it was fortunate that she poked her hand, if she had poked her face, Qin Zhihua would have taken the opportunity to squeeze Tan Xin out and monopolize her.
Listen, what kind of words are these? The assistant is so angry!
The agent must be aware of what happened between Qin Zhihua and Tan Xin.
Tan Xin is an artist of Yunxi Entertainment. She is the same age as Qin Zhihua, but she debuted four years later than Qin Zhihua. Logically speaking, Qin Zhihua is Tan Xin's senior, but because they are the same age and both debuted in ancient puppet dramas, they are often compared by some marketing accounts, along with several other female stars of the same age. Sometimes, there are some disgusting deliberate provocations.
Even if they are not in the entertainment industry, there are people who compare themselves with each other in daily life. It is normal. Qin Zhihua and his friends don't take it seriously. They don't care, but the fans don't. The two families have quarreled over this many times. Therefore, even though the two parties have never had a direct encounter in any public occasion or any private dealings, they have become rivals.
The agent asked, "Is it a heart-to-heart talk?"
The drama that Qin Zhihua is filming is adapted from a very popular Narcissus novel with two female protagonists on the Green River website last year. The story tells the story of a female protagonist who was reincarnated into the modern world thousands of years later and accidentally recovered her memory, traveled back to the immortal cultivation world that caused her death, killed her enemy, saved herself, and overthrew the way of heaven.
Since it has been adapted into a drama, the emotional line between the two female protagonists must be eliminated. In other people's works, it is "socialist brotherhood", but here it is "socialist sisterhood".
Qin Zhihua plays the heroine who lived thousands of years ago, while Tan Xin plays the heroine who traveled back from the modern era.
It is rumored online that the company cooperating with Liushi Entertainment is the Xu Group. In fact, this is not entirely true. It only represents the third branch of the Xu family, which is a part of the Xu Group. This drama is a test investment for the third branch, and the general manager is Xu Shuo.
At the time of the casting interview, Xu Shuo was very fond of Qin Zhihua and generously let her choose the role herself, and he would directly decide whichever one she chose. Qin Zhihua did not agree, but finally won the role with her own strength.
As soon as the cast was announced, Qin fans and Tan fans started arguing over who would be the real No. 1.
Passerby readers simply laughed after reading it. Come on, in Narcissus's novel, it's the same person after all. They just look different after reincarnation. According to the content of the story, the two have equally important roles. What is there to argue about?
There are also many readers of the book among the fans of both families. For the sake of their own sister, they can no longer think like this. As long as it is a story, there must be a focus; as long as there is a role, there must be more or less. So the fans of the two families made data charts based on the content of the original book, trying to prove that their sister is the absolute number one heroine. And the other family is just a supporting role, which is a homophone for "呸"!
The crew was a little happy to see this happen. They didn't spend a penny and had pre-promotion. When the heat was about to drop, the crew came out to be a peacemaker and said some polite words. Finally, everyone was asked to pay more attention to the series.
Qin Zhihua didn't care about these things at first, and her agent also told her in advance to get along well with Tan Xin after joining the crew, after all, she was backed by Yunxi Entertainment. They also understood that it would be really ugly to tear each other apart, and Qin Zhihua also wanted to take this opportunity to break the ice with Tan Xin, as filming was more important than anything else.
But to Qin Zhihua's surprise, Tan Xin seemed to really treat her as an opponent. Except when they were acting opposite each other, he had no intention of getting along with her. Qin Zhihua also sighed that Tan Xin's acting skills were really good.
When talking about heart-to-heart talks, Qin Zhihua turned his eyes away from the phone screen, raised his head, frowned, and shook his head hesitantly: "I don't know."
The agent took out another cigarette and said, "Didn't you say that Xu Shuo planned to make your relationship public after New Year's Day? Regardless of who did this, you should contact him immediately. Since it has been exposed, you two should take this opportunity to make it official. This will also help you clarify the rumors."
Qin Zhihua said: "I have sent him a message, but he hasn't replied yet."
The agent urged: "Call and clarify it as soon as possible."
Qin Zhihua dialed the number, but the prompt tone was "Unable to connect temporarily", and she felt inexplicably disappointed.
The agent immediately had a bad feeling and handed her his phone: "Use mine."
Qin Zhihua's hands were shaking slightly as she dialed the number. After two beeps, the call was connected, but as soon as the other end heard her voice, he hung up immediately.
She and her agent looked at each other for a moment.
The assistant carefully observed their expressions, pointed to the second most searched term on the phone, and asked boldly, "Could it be that everything said here is true?"
"Xu Shuo's Wife Selection", Qin Zhihua clicked in and read it. Some of the content was what Xu Shuo had mentioned to her, but some was not. She just thought that these people on the Internet were really just spreading rumors with their mouths, but now, she is not sure: "Could it be that I am the one who caused his hot search?"
The agent said: "I have heard some of the troubles in the Xu family."
He sighed in his heart. Qin Zhihua did not hide it from him when she decided to be with Xu Shuo. He was not optimistic about it, but his dissuasion was ineffective. He really regretted it now. What he regretted was not that he could not stop her from dating Xu Shuo, but that he had been too strict with her in the past and made her never date. Because Qin Zhihua had a hot body and her previous personality was a little more like a goddess for otakus. Now that she has successfully transformed and has reached the age, he has relaxed his control and let her fall headfirst into a relationship when she meets someone who is similar.
After the agent explained to Qin Zhihua in a few words, he said, "So, his trending search was probably sent by someone."
As he finished speaking, his cell phone rang, and he picked it up and walked aside to answer it.
Qin Zhihua lowered her head and started browsing her phone again. The assistant suddenly reached out to grab it anxiously: "Sister Zhizhi, don't look at it——"
Qin Zhihua has already seen it.
In just a few minutes, the message "Everyone understands, right?" was filled with thousands of comments. Some said that Qin Zhihua took the initiative to flirt with her in order to seek better development and get into the first or second tier cities. Others said that Liu Shi used her to curry favor in order to consolidate the cooperation with Xu's by forming a "marriage". There were even more unpleasant comments, saying things like transaction and selling. Eighty to ninety percent of them were false rumors.
Qin Zhihua was so angry that his face turned blue.
After a while, the agent hung up the phone and sat back down: "I have found out that the person who contacted this paparazzi is probably from the crew."
The paparazzi couldn't sleep after posting the WB post. He was so excited to see his account gain followers that he couldn't sleep at all. He became famous! He became rich!
When his agent contacted him, he was still humming and rolling on the small bed in the rental house. Paparazzi also have their own professional ethics, so they naturally cannot tell others who leaked the information to him - because he himself didn't know. He just received a strange call suddenly, and went to the call with the mentality of giving it a try, but the result was completely unexpected.
Finally, for the sake of money, the paparazzi revealed a little bit, saying that the person who called him was a woman, and he heard some discussions about the drama in the background of the phone, about how the props had not been prepared yet and they had to hurry, and that Sister Xin's clothes had been torn during the fight scene and they had to prepare new ones.
Qin Zhihua listened expressionlessly, pulled up the photos in his phone album, and handed them to his agent: "I'm not that easy to bully."
The best way to reduce the popularity of an event is to let another more popular event cover it up. The Internet's memory is very short and netizens are forgetful. Her event will naturally be forgotten after a period of time.
Qin Zhihua thought that Huang Yao was just a rumor after all, and she could sue him at any time as long as she collected evidence. And since it was just a rumor, it would be clarified one day. But what if he knew about it? He would be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.
The agent saw the person in the photo and asked in surprise, "Where are you from?"
Qin Zhihua said: "I saw it by chance, and there is also a video. It was originally just in case, but I didn't expect it to be really used."
She found another recording and said, "Brother, please contact Xu Shuo again. If he still doesn't intend to cooperate, release this recording."
Qin Zhihua is the "Sister Zhizhi" in He Yan's mouth. I wonder if you still remember her~
