Lan Xiaoxi, one of the onlookers, felt that she hadn't figured things out yet, and the hot search for "Tan Xin Zhi San Dang San" was gone, and instead the screen was filled with her excellent qualities as an actor.
Lan Xiaoxi murmured as she scrolled through her phone: "Wow, this guy is indeed trained by Yunxi. With this kind of PR speed, Qin Zhihua's team should be more careful and learn from him."
She watched the behind-the-scenes footage of Tan Xin. It was rare to see actors with such talent and potential, and she wanted to be a fan. Well, whether she was a fan or not was another matter. The drama really attracted her, and she decided to find the original novel and read it first.
Yue Cheng came over with some cut fruit, picked up a piece and fed it to her: "What were you talking about just now?"
Lan Xiaoxi showed him her phone and explained the incident in a few words. Then she said, "Honey, you see, this crew still has a conscience. They didn't show favoritism. After showing the footage of the heart-to-heart talk, they also showed the footage of Qin Zhihua."
Yue Cheng didn't think so: "What do you mean by having a conscience? I think it's a matter of weighing the pros and cons. In a drama with two female leads, both have equally important roles. If you replace either of them, you'll lose a lot of money. You have to make as much money as you can."
As he was talking, Lan Xiaoxi suddenly burst into laughter: "Hubby, my God, they have to be netizens, what the hell is this, hahahaha..."
Yue Cheng leaned over to take a look, and he didn't know what expression to use to look at these contents. Under the official Weibo of the crew, someone actually started to ship Tan Xin and Qin Zhihua as a couple, and it was even pushed to the top of the hot comments.
[Am I the only one who thinks so? The previous life played by Qin Zhihua was cold and aloof, while the reincarnation played by Tan Xin was brilliant and passionate. In the play, the two of them redeemed each other, but in reality, they regarded each other as rivals, loving and hating each other. Isn't this good? I'll be the first to give my respect! ]
[Wow, the angle of entry above is too strange]
【Eating everything will only give you a balanced diet】
[Balanced nutrition is good, I like it, I want one too]
[Sisters, Station C has produced food, and "Hua Xin Tan Qin" welcomes everyone to come and eat]
[Here we go——]
…
Yue Cheng really couldn't understand: "What kind of trend is this? Why are there people supporting all kinds of couples? One second they were talking about conspiracy theories, and the next second they have a happy ending?"
Lan Xiaoxi flipped through the pages and continued to laugh: "This shouldn't be organized. It seems like they are all book fans, doing it spontaneously."
In fact, it was deliberately guided by the crew.
One has the support of investors, the other has Yunxi, and both are powerful actors. The crew decided to choose them to be the leading actors at the beginning, one considering the above point, and the other for the sake of topic, because everyone knows that they are rivals.
Although the director is young, he has been in the entertainment industry for many years. It can be seen that Tan Xin and Qin Zhihua often compete with each other in the crew. However, this competition is mostly during filming, to see who is more professional and has better acting skills. This is a healthy competition, and the director is happy to see it.
However, the director did not expect this to happen today. After learning about the incident, he had to suspect that there was a problem with the competition between the two. He was still worried the moment before, but the next moment Yunxi gave him a public relations plan, and the crew also guided him along. The crisis was successfully resolved, and he was really relieved.
He thought it was just a false alarm. Tan Xin had at least cleared the name on the surface. Qin Zhihua only needed to clarify that they were in a normal relationship, and the rumors would be broken. Even if they didn't clarify, it didn't matter. In today's entertainment industry, such things as sponsors and mistresses are no longer considered big scandals. The man and the woman are unmarried and it's consensual. Even if it was exposed, it would not have any impact on the star's career. The Internet has no memory, and it will be forgotten soon.
However, what happened afterwards only proved that he was still too superficial.
The crisis on Tan Xin's side was resolved, but she did not immediately return to the set to continue filming, and her agent Yu Feng did not leave either. They were investigating who was behind the leak.
Saying "investigate" is a compliment to the paparazzi. When Qin Zhihua's agent contacted him, he hesitated.
Because a paparazzi was paid to expose negative information about Yunxi artist, which was later proven to be fabricated, and Yunxi sued the paparazzi to bankruptcy, and even the netizens who followed suit and fanned the flames were not spared. Since this killing of the chicken to scare the monkey, no one in the circle dares to slander Yunxi anymore.
However, Qin Zhihua's team paid a lot of money! The money for doing things, plus the hush money, he calculated that it was enough for him to go back to his hometown and do nothing and lie down. If he spent it frugally, he could lie down for ten or twenty years without any problem. The paparazzi looked at the video and photos, and they thought that this was not fabricated black material, it was the truth! So he took the money to do things.
This person loves money and is well-known in the industry. Since he loves money, it is easy to solve. After contacting the person, Yu Feng directly asked him to make an offer.
When the paparazzi received the call and heard that it was from Yunxi Entertainment, he immediately became scared and began to suspect that Qin Zhihua was so generous, and whether there was something fishy about the video and photos. So he did not dare to ask for a high price, and tremblingly quoted a reasonable price.
Yu Feng transferred the money without saying a word and got Qin Zhihua's name.
After the conversation, I wasn't surprised at all.
Seeing her expression like this, Yu Feng felt something was wrong, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he asked, "Did you make her a hot search?!"
Assistant Xiao Tao, who had been standing silently beside him, suddenly trembled. Yu Feng's sharp eyes immediately swept over and said, "Speak!"
Xiao Tao looked at Tan Xin's expression, pursed her lips, and didn't dare to speak.
This assistant has always been like this. In front of him and Tan Xin, she can't say a word even if she is beaten with three sticks. Yu Feng was too lazy to pay attention to her and continued to ask Tan Xin.
Tan Xin swiped her finger across the screen of her phone without looking up and admitted, "I did it, so what? I'm not slandering her. Isn't what was revealed true? If not, why didn't she clarify it immediately? It's just a few words to make an official announcement. Is it that difficult?"
Yu Feng raised his finger and pointed at her angrily: "You, how did you become like this?! Have you ever thought that if you hadn't done this, there wouldn't be all these subsequent troubles!"
Tan Xin choked back, "If I don't do this, how can I reveal that she has these things in her hands! Since the day I joined the group, I felt that the way she looked at me was not right. This is the reason! If I don't take the initiative, she might take the initiative one day."
"You..." Yu Feng was speechless for a moment. He really didn't understand how Tan Xin had become like this. Where had the kind and generous girl gone?
Yu Feng thought about it and realized that she started to change from the time he found out that she was secretly in love with Mu Jingsheng. When she was cast for the female lead role in "The Moon Rises over Spring Stream", she insisted that Liu Wangxue deliberately harmed her. Now she thinks Qin Zhihua wants to harm her, and he took the initiative? She must be suffering from paranoia! "So what if she has it in her hand? If she has this idea, why would she wait until now to use it to fight back against you?" Yu Feng felt his head buzzing, and suddenly figured out the key point, "So she also knows that it was you who did it?!"
Tan Xin also admitted: "I just wanted to blow up what she had, so of course I couldn't do it so secretly."
Yu Feng thought, it’s over.
The CEO hates this kind of dirty stuff the most. If he had known, he would not have contacted Anding. If Anding wanted to investigate, the cause and effect would definitely not be hidden. But if he didn't contact him, the public opinion on the Internet would not be reversed so quickly. Maybe the matter has fermented on a large scale, and Tan Xin has been nailed to the pillar of shame. This kind of thing can't be hidden at all.
Whatever the situation, it's impossible to keep it secret.
“Even if you don’t do this today, even if Qin Zhihua really uses this thing to mess with you someday - you and Mu Jingsheng have already broken up anyway. As long as the company is willing to protect you, you will be as safe as you are now, do you know that?” Yu Feng’s hand was shaking as he pointed at Tan Xin. He was angry and worried: “Pray! No, we should pray together!”
Tan Xin disagreed: "Why pray? You saw it too, I won."
She was really fed up. Ever since her debut, she was compared to Qin Zhihua in everything. At first, she really didn't understand what was there to compare between them. Even though they were both in the ancient idol drama field, the types of roles they played were completely different.
In mass entertainment, there are definitely more than just roles to be compared, from acting to endorsements, from looks to body shapes, everything is included in the scope. What is it that Tan Xin's looks are rather plain and she needs a lot of makeup, while Qin Zhihua is a bright and beautiful woman with a strong face, and even without makeup she is more recognizable than Tan Xin; what is it that Tan Xin's body is considered to be good among ordinary people, but compared with Qin Zhihua, it is still a little flat; what about the number of endorsements, the attributes of the brands, the grade of the red carpet dresses... It seems that except for acting, Tan Xin can't beat Qin Zhihua in any way.
After repeated comparisons and defeats, Tan Xin's mentality gradually became distorted. She seemed to have forgotten that an actor's job is to act, and good acting skills are the most important.
Although the two had never met in public before, it was clear from their conversation that there was a strong sense of tension between them.
Tan Xin also attended the casting interview for the film "Jade Carver" directed by Meng Huadong. Like Qin Zhihua, she was interviewed for the supporting role of Female No. N. The role itself is set as a plump and colorful warlord widow.
Both Tan Xin and Qin Zhihua had remarkable performances during the interviews. Overall, Tan Xin was slightly better, but for the sake of the film's effect, Director Meng considered and chose Qin Zhihua, whose appearance was more suitable for the role.
After receiving the notification of being eliminated, Tan Xin was very angry, and felt as if the only thing that could help her defeat Qin Zhihua would no longer exist. Especially after the movie was released, she saw Qin Zhihua become popular, and she was also angry.
As for taking on this dual-female lead drama, agent Yu Feng was initially against it. He was simply worried that this drama would be like some dual-male lead dramas that could not be broadcast even if they were filmed. Later, when he heard that the crew had also invited Qin Zhihua, he was even more against it. He knew that Tan Xin was secretly competing with Qin Zhihua. Even after he asked someone to find out the reason after Tan Xin lost the role in "The Jade Carver" and told her, she didn't believe it at all. Especially after the release of the film, her mentality was a little unstable.
But Tan Xin was determined to take on this drama.
Before joining the crew, Yu Feng had to give repeated warnings, asking her to keep a calm mind and that acting well was more important than anything else, and to stop listening to the outside voices and take the opportunity to try to get along well with Qin Zhihua. Rumor has it that she has a very good personality, and perhaps she is not as good as the marketing accounts say.
Tan Xin ignored Yu Feng's words and had no intention of listening to him. During the filming, he asked his assistant Xiao Tao to secretly keep an eye on him, and through this, he discovered what was going on between Qin Zhihua and Xu Shuo.
Tan Xin felt that the opportunity to completely defeat Qin Zhihua seemed to have come, so he asked Xiao Tao to contact the paparazzi to leak the information, which led to a series of subsequent events, including finally involving Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong in this storm.
The turmoil on Tan Xin's side was over. After Yu Feng lectured her for a few words, he hurried away to send another artist to an event. She also returned to the set to continue filming.
But Qin Zhihua once again fell into a desperate situation.
After Qin Zhihua asked her agent to reveal the news about Tan Xin and Mu Jingsheng, she had been following the online trends. She didn't expect that Tan Xin and Mu Jingsheng had broken up, and Yunxi Entertainment's PR was so fast. It had only been a short while before the hot searches she bought disappeared, replaced by topics praising Tan Xin for her sincere repentance, good acting skills and strong strength. As everyone was chatting, someone even started to ship her and Tan Xin as a couple!
Even so, although Qin Zhihua's hot searches have dropped, they are still on the list, still filled with all kinds of dirty words, and a new round of abuse caused by the lesbian CP.
No matter how strong Qin Zhihua's psychological quality was, she couldn't bear it. The assistant who had been on the phone in the corner of the room was almost crying, and the agent was still contacting the company's public relations department for help.
Qin Zhihua almost self-torturedly clicked on the hot search entry of "Tanxin Letianyi" and swiped the screen to read the comments. She didn't really pay attention to it, but just thought that Tanxin was really lucky to be signed to Yunxi Entertainment. Everyone in the industry knows that Yunxi artists will have a smooth road as long as they debut, unlike companies like theirs, where artists have to fight for many things themselves, and if they can't win, they can only accept their fate.
Qin Zhihua couldn't understand why she was still acting like a demon when she was so lucky? There were still some discordant voices in the praise comments area. These voices were all from Qin Zhihua's fans, who were still saying that Tan Xin was both a hypocrite and a hypocrite. If they had the guts, they should ask President Mu to come out and make a statement to clarify that they had broken up, otherwise they would never believe it.
The fans were organized. Not only did they leave messages under the hot searches for Tanxin, they also went to Mu Jingsheng's Weibo to call him. Some even went to Ling Ling's Weibo to ask her for help, saying that she and Qin Zhihua were good friends. Since they were good friends, shouldn't they lend a helping hand when they saw their friends in trouble? Qin Zhihua threw her phone into the corner of the sofa in annoyance and asked her assistant, "Haven't you contacted Xu Shuo yet?"
The assistant shook his head: "No, I changed several numbers, and he hung up as soon as he heard it was about you."
The agent also hung up the phone at this time and said, "The public relations department is thinking of a solution."
Qin Zhihua got even angrier when she heard this: "It's already this late and you're still thinking of a solution?" She closed her eyes and said, "Brother, play the recording."
"Okay." This is the only way, the agent thought, and took Qin Zhihua's phone, edited a WB message, and released the recording.
Qin's fans were busy slamming the haters, cursing, talking, and asking for help. As soon as they received the reminder message from Qin Zhihua on Weibo, they immediately clicked in to read it. This Weibo post only mentioned @Xu Shuo and nothing else. There was a recording below. After listening to it, the fans cheered.
[Just say it's a normal relationship, haters, listen to it yourself, Xu Shuo said it himself, it will be made public after New Year's Day]
[Since my debut, my sister Zhizhi has been innocent but has been slandered and defamed. Unlike some people, who did something beyond the limit and were able to clear themselves overnight]
[Justice is in the hearts of people, justice is clear, some people will suffer a big fall sooner or later]
…
The recording has minimal effect. It can only be said that it gave fans a reassurance and a shot of confidence. The nitpickers are still nitpicking, the black fans are still blacking, and those who cannot accept Qin Zhihua's relationship are still spreading rumors and insulting her.
[Nowadays, even videos can be faked, let alone audio recordings? What kind of evidence is this?]
[@Xu Shuo, didn’t you just call for President Mu to come out and acknowledge the recording? Why don’t you continue calling for Xu Shuo to come out and claim the recording as well?]
[We firmly refuse to believe unless you come forward to claim the responsibility]
…
Seeing that the online trend was not improving, the assistant really raised his hand to wipe away tears and asked the agent: "Brother, what should we do?"
The agent immediately picked up the phone and called the public relations department again.
At this time, Qin Zhihua's cell phone also rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Ling Ling calling.
Qin Zhihua immediately had a worse premonition. She swiped to answer the call, and before she could even say "Lingling", she heard the other end angrily questioning, "Qin Zhihua! What do you mean by sending out that video of Mu Jingsheng?!"
"I..." Qin Zhihua was interrupted by Ling Ling before she could finish a word.
Ling Ling said, "I don't care what conflicts you have with that little actor named Tan Xin. You can do whatever you want, but don't involve Mu Jingsheng."
Qin Zhihua quickly explained: "I'm doing this for you. Mu Jingsheng is already engaged to you, but he's still flirting with other girls. The one before was called Liu Wangxue, she was smart enough to abort the child. Then there was another one, and as soon as I sent the video, she said we had broken up. I'm helping you, and you can just let Mu Jingsheng express his stance..."
"Help me?" Ling Ling smiled sarcastically, "If you really wanted to do this for me, shouldn't you have contacted me as soon as you took the video?" Ha, her fiancée, like everyone else, only found out from the Internet that there was a person named Tan Xin around Mu Jingsheng.
“Lingling…”
Qin Zhihua wanted to explain further, but Ling Ling didn't want to listen and interrupted again: "I told you when the Liu Wangxue incident happened that my father and brother are the ones who value face the most."
They approve of this kind of behavior in men because they are that kind of people themselves. At the same time, they also think that these should only be played in private. Once they are made public, it will damage the family's reputation.
Mu Jingsheng and Ling Ling's engagement was finalized before the Spring Festival. At the end of February, Liu Wangxue and Mu Jingsheng broke up in a coffee shop and were filmed and uploaded to the Internet. Fortunately, Mu Jingsheng acted quickly and contacted various platforms to block all videos and screenshots, otherwise her fate would definitely not be good.
"Since you exposed Mu Jingsheng's affairs, you should have expected the consequences, so don't think I don't know what you are thinking." Ling Ling paused, then continued, "Qin Zhihua, before this, I treated you as a friend. As a friend, I will tell you more clearly that your plan has failed. Tan Xin is an artist of Yunxi Entertainment. As you know, the president of Yunxi Entertainment is Du Yunxiang, but you probably don't know that Du Yunxiang's father is Du Shaohua. My father will not do anything to Tan Xin for the sake of Mr. Du, but you - you better take care of yourself."
Ling Ling hung up the phone after saying that.
Qin Zhihua clutched the phone and felt a sudden chill on his back. (End of this chapter)
