Qin Zhihua froze from head to toe, sitting on the sofa, still holding the phone to his ear. Then his whole body went limp, the strength in his hands dropped, and the phone fell to the floor with a "thump".
The assistant quickly squatted down, picked up her phone and handed it back to her. He felt that her expression was not right, and hesitantly spoke: "Sister Zhizhi, what did Miss Ling say?"
Qin Zhihua leaned dejectedly on the sofa without giving any response.
The agent at the bar also ended his call and came over: "Okay, don't worry, our boss also knows about this. You are now the pillar of our company, the higher-ups take you very seriously, and the PR department has also come up with a response plan. It's not too late now."
Qin Zhihua still had no reaction.
The agent asked the assistant: "What happened to her?" Then he hurriedly looked down at his phone and opened WB: "Is there any new comment on the Internet?"
"No, Sister Zhizhi just answered a call from Miss Ling, and she was like this after she hung up." The assistant sat next to Qin Zhihua, holding her hand and shaking it gently, "Sister Zhizhi?"
After hearing what the assistant said, the agent was no longer so panicked, but he felt that Qin Zhihua's appearance was very strange: "Zhizhi, what's wrong with you? Well, it just so happens that you and Ling Ling are good friends, so ask her to help forward the things sent by the public relations department later. This matter is more or less related to her, so we are also helping her vent her anger..."
Qin Zhihua finally reacted when she heard this. She let go of her assistant's hand and sat up, staring straight into her agent's eyes. There was still fear in her voice: "What is the PR department going to say? What are you going to do?"
The agent didn't know the specific details. The PR department was still collecting information. They only told him a little: "They didn't go into detail on the phone. They just said they received instructions from the boss. This matter is no longer just between you and Tan Xin, but also between Liu Shi and Yun Xi. Do you still remember the play "Moon Over Spring Stream"? The film and television department bought the copyright from a storyteller. Later, the copyright was sold to Yun Xi. Yun Xi shot the play and invited this storyteller to be the screenwriter."
Qin Zhihua certainly remembers this drama. Originally, the company wanted her to play the female lead. After reading the script, she felt that she was not suitable and turned it down. The female lead in the script was only 18 years old at the beginning, and she was already 27. Although she took good care of herself, her temperament and demeanor still revealed her age. Even if we put aside her age, her appearance conditions did not meet the requirements, and she had finally transformed successfully to play a mature woman, and she really didn't want to go back and be ridiculed again.
After rejecting the script, Qin Zhihua took part in the recording of a closed-door variety show. When she came back from the recording, she heard that various disturbances in the crew had led to the abortion of the project. The boss thought the script was unlucky and sold it.
Qin Zhihua asked: "So what do today's events have to do with this drama?"
The agent shook his head: "I don't know, but from what the PR department said, the boss seems to want to make trouble for this screenwriter."
"What does this have to do with this screenwriter?" Qin Zhihua was puzzled. Suddenly, she remembered that this anchor was Liu Wangxue! There was another reason why she refused to film this drama, and that was Liu Wangxue. She didn't want to make things difficult for Ling Ling.
The agent also said: "I guess, it's probably because the screenwriter is called Liu Wangxue." He was also confused. She was just a screenwriter, why did the boss target her? Qin Zhihua's body suddenly tensed up, and the hand on the armrest of the sofa pressed down hard, with panic on her face: "Liu Wangxue? No, brother, absolutely not--" She almost blurted out what Ling Ling had just said on the phone, but stopped as if possessed by a ghost.
The agent didn't understand why she reacted so strongly and said that this plan wouldn't work. After a little thought, he thought that she might be afraid of Yunxi because of the failure of the talk, so he comforted her: "It's okay, don't worry, since it's the company, they must have made all the preparations."
Seeing that she was gradually relaxing, the agent continued, "Didn't you say before that she and Mu Jingsheng had a relationship? I don't know if the PR department knows about it, so I just told them everything you told me. The Internet has memory, and some things can be checked with little effort. When the news spreads, ask Ling Ling to help forward it. I guess the specific operations should be the same, blurring the timeline, throwing dirty water, pulling Tan Xin down, and then putting all kinds of accusations on Yun Xi."
"But, Yunxi..." Qin Zhihua listened to what her agent said, clasping her fingers tightly together, frowning, her brain working rapidly, rehearsing and thinking. Excluding asking Ling Ling for help, are the remaining options feasible? Before she finished speaking, her agent knew what she wanted to say: "We at Six Stones cannot compete with Yunxi, but the decision was made by the boss, and he must have considered it." It is estimated that he wanted to leave a stain on Yunxi.
At this time, Qin Zhihua was hesitating. She didn't know whether the boss knew Du Yunxiang's family background, and she was also struggling whether to relay what Ling Ling said.
After a while, she let out a breath and loosened her fingers.
Let's not talk about it. Just assume that she doesn't know. How can a small artist like her influence the game between companies? Qin Zhihua thought, it's not like she hasn't gambled before over the years. This time, what if, what if Six Stone Entertainment has some background that she doesn't know about? What if Six Stone Entertainment wins - even if it doesn't win, it's just a tie, then she will definitely be safe.
The three people in the hotel room stopped talking and refreshed the WB on their phones from time to time, waiting for the Six Stones Public Relations Department to release the news.
However, before the public relations department could take any action, they received the news that Ling Ling had deleted WB.
Ling Ling's father also had many brothers and sisters. He took over the Ling Group from his father after a fierce struggle. Ling's father and Ling's mother were also married for business. There were three sons and one daughter in the family. Among them, only the eldest son and Ling Ling were Ling's mother's biological children.
As the "apple of Ling Shi's palm", Ling Ling has been attracting a lot of attention since she registered her WB account. As a little princess of a wealthy family, some netizens who call themselves "ordinary people" shouted "this kind of life is worth a glimpse", and then followed her.
Ling Ling also manages her WB account carefully. Sometimes she posts Vlogs of celebrity gatherings or travels, which obviously cost millions of dollars to photograph and edit. Sometimes she also posts promotional materials for her own group, and sometimes she also posts photos of private gatherings with friends.
Qin Zhihua first appeared in Ling Ling's WB three years ago, in a single photo of the two of them, with the Watermelon Music Festival as the background.
Ling Ling's caption at the time was: [I accidentally lost my phone, and a super beautiful girl found it and returned it to me, thank you so much~]
Qin Zhihua then forwarded Ling Ling's post, telling about how she found the phone and found the person, and praised Ling Ling in a cheerful manner.
Netizens rushed to see the scene and found that it was Qin Zhihua! Some people also posted photos of the scene or took them accidentally, which indirectly confirmed the incident.
Many people immediately expressed their hatred that they also went to the festival, so why didn't they lose their phones? It would be great if any of the fans picked them up. So, amidst the laughter, the two groups of fans happily hugged each other.
After that, the two met by chance one after another in different places. Later, the frequency of their appearances in each other's WBs gradually increased, and their relationship became visibly closer.
Last August, Ling Ling celebrated her birthday, but unfortunately Qin Zhihua was still recording the closed-door variety show. Qin Zhihua asked the director for leave to celebrate Ling Ling's birthday. Afterwards, Ling Ling posted a message to express her gratitude, saying many touching words. Qin Zhihua also forwarded it, revealing that they have become good friends who can talk about anything.
But today, Ling Ling deleted all the content about Qin Zhihua on WB, as if this person had never appeared in her life.
Ling Ling's fans didn't react to this. After guessing and associating, they basically knew the reason. After the incident fermented, before Ling Ling deleted her blog, those who helped Qin Zhihua's fans to call Ling Ling for help were suppressed. Now everyone is comforting her under her Weibo and doesn't mention anything else.
The situation was completely opposite to this one, which was Qin Zhihua's fans. They had just been asking Ling Ling for help, but in the blink of an eye she unilaterally broke off the friendship, without even a word of explanation. They couldn't understand it at all, and some even broke down, cursing and blackmailing her morally.
[Aren't they good friends? It's already unreasonable for you to ignore your friend's misfortune. What's the point of deleting the blog now? Are you adding insult to injury? ]
[Our sister Zhizhi is so good to you, she always thinks of you and puts you first, look at what you have done, are you still a human being? ]
[I am almost making malicious speculations. Sister Zhizhi has been attacked like this. Is it you who is responsible for this?]
[She must be jealous of our sister Zhizhi's success. Seeing our sister Zhizhi's happy love, she is jealous!!!]
…
Ling Ling's fans endured it again and again, but finally fought back.
[Don't make a fuss with me. I'm just asking, if your best friend makes your boyfriend cheating on you or your husband having an affair with a mistress public without your permission, what would you do?]
[Oh~ Of course I forgive her. She helped me a lot. My boyfriend or husband is so depressed. She gave me a legitimate reason to break up with her with a mountain of evidence (dog head x 3)]
[Sisters, please be careful when speaking at this moment, otherwise you will be hurt by mistake]
[Then I will also maliciously speculate, was your sister Zhizhi's approach to our Lingling a deliberate plan? Sisters, wait for me to sort out the timeline and collect evidence. I will put it here first. After Qin Zhihua and our Lingling met at the music festival three years ago, did her career start to go uphill? ]
[Oh my god! After the cell phone incident, Ling Ling gave her a cover of "Fashion Trends" as a token of gratitude, and she made a smooth transition after that!]
…
The war of words between the two sides started immediately. Qin Zhihua's black fans also jumped up and down excitedly. There was also the group of people who had just spread rumors and insulted her because of the "sponsor" hot search. Qin's fans were outnumbered one against three, and their strength was gradually running out.
The assistant also switched to his secondary account to join the battle, holding the phone in both hands and typing rapidly with his thumbs, looking anxious and restless.
The agent's brows were almost twisted into a knot, and he asked Qin Zhihua: "What does Ling Ling mean by this? What happened between you and her?"
Qin Zhihua's hand holding the phone was shaking slightly, but it was the result of her trying hard to control herself. She knew what was going on, but she couldn't say anything: "I don't know. Brother, call the PR department again. What are they going to do? Why haven't they taken action yet?"
The agent's heart was also in turmoil at the moment. He had been the one who had guided Qin Zhihua since her debut. Her acting career had taken a detour in the past few years due to problems with the company's decisions. Fortunately, she had successfully transformed herself in recent years and had stepped into the film industry. Everything was moving in a good direction. The current drama she was filming could be foreseeable to be the next hit. Once it was aired, she would be able to move up further. She must not fail here.
The agent was filled with anxiety and automatically ignored the unusual thing about Qin Zhihua. He called the public relations department, but couldn't get through. He called several times in a row, but the tone was always busy.
Qin Zhihua's eyes never left her agent. Seeing that he couldn't get through on the phone, all kinds of speculations suddenly surged in her mind. Did the Ling family take action? Did Liu Shi dare not touch Yun Xi? Was the boss going to give up on her?
No matter which one it was, Qin Zhihua felt like she was falling into an ice cellar. She pulled the down jacket on the other side of the sofa over and put it on, grabbing the front of the jacket to cover herself tightly, and her tone was full of pleading: "Brother..."
The agent's phone was almost out of battery, and he looked at Qin Zhihua solemnly. He could also guess what Qin Zhihua was thinking, and felt that any words of comfort would be pale at this moment: "Don't worry, he's probably busy."
He turned around to find a charger and plugged his phone in. Then he didn't sit down again, but walked back and forth at the bar.
The room was silent again, and it was silent and depressing. I don't know how long I waited. When Qin Zhihua felt as if the smell of cigarettes heated by the air conditioner made her head dizzy, the assistant shouted, "She's coming! Sister Zhizhi, she's coming!"
Qin Zhihua suddenly woke up and reached for the phone in the corner of the sofa. The manager also walked back to the bar, grabbed the phone, and pulled out the charging cable.
As soon as the two of them opened the trending search interface on WB, the assistant raised his head and said in confusion: "Brother, Sister Zhizhi, this is not right? How come this trending search is about a little internet celebrity?"
The assistant had just refreshed the hot searches, and as soon as he saw the changes in the list, he hurriedly reminded Qin Zhihua, without even having time to take a closer look.
#Internet celebrity chestnut cake was beaten during New Year's Eve live broadcast# suddenly became the number one trending search.
Neither Qin Zhihua nor her agent responded to the assistant's question and just clicked in to see.
At this time, the clock pointed to eleven o'clock.
Liu Wangxue, Xu Qingsong and the other six people were still in their respective rooms and had just finished half of the brunch sent by the hotel.
Lan Xiaoxi and Yue Cheng had just returned from the vegetable market near the community.
Lan Xiaoxi was enjoying the melon until Qin Zhihua played Xu Shuo's recording. She suddenly wanted to eat spicy chicken for lunch. The last two chicken legs in the refrigerator had been eaten last night, so Yue Cheng said he was going out to buy some, and Lan Xiaoxi wanted to go with him.
They went to the hospital for a checkup yesterday morning, and the results were very good. Lan Xiaoxi's indicators were all normal, and the fetus was developing well. The doctor had previously advised her to rest at home for the first three months. Although it was still ten days away from three months, it was no longer a problem, and she could exercise and take a walk appropriately.
After returning, Yue Cheng became the chef and Lan Xiaoxi helped him, and the two started to cook lunch together.
The little internet celebrity Li Zigao, the one who secretly took the photos of Xu Qingsong and Liu Wangxue last night, is still asleep at this moment and has no idea that the "fame" he wanted has fallen from the sky.
Last night's secret filming was stopped by Xu Qingsong, and his selfie stick was also broken by Xu Qingsong. When Xu Qingsong asked him to quote a price for compensation, he got scared and simply cut off the live broadcast, disappeared from the lakeside viewing platform, and then jogged all the way back to the hotel.
The hotel he booked was just behind the mall, very close. After returning to the room and calming down, he couldn't help but spit on himself. Why did he act so cowardly when his head was confused? At least he should have collected the compensation for the selfie stick before leaving.
He then took the selfie stick and examined it carefully, muttering, "It's more than three hundred yuan."
There is a ball attached to the gripper that holds the phone. The ball is stuck in a circular groove. Next to the groove is a knob to adjust the tightness. He adjusted the angle of the phone before the live broadcast and turned the knob to the tightest.
Li Zigao couldn't believe it: "How could that man's hands be so strong that he broke the groove directly!"
Now it is completely unusable, Li Zigao thought, this merchant is simply a fraud, false advertising, it is said that it can't be broken or smashed, but it was easily destroyed by others!
No, he just bought this selfie stick not long ago, he has to ask customer service for compensation!
After dealing with the selfie stick issue, Li Zigao turned on his computer and downloaded the live broadcast that had just been saved on Pomegranate Video.
The live broadcast background interface of Shiliubao Video has always had an automatic upload function. If the anchor turns on this setting, the system will automatically upload the live broadcast replay to the anchor's homepage column after each live broadcast.
In order to save trouble, most anchors turn on this setting. Liu Wangxue did the same when he was still "Xupiaopiao".
Li Zigao did not do so. After each live broadcast, he would download the replay first, watch it himself, cut out the parts he was not satisfied with, and then upload it to the homepage column.
Now, he just wants to cut out the final confrontation with Xu Qingsong - the previous content of the couple snuggling together to watch the fireworks has to be kept, after all, it is hot, and there are fireworks all over the sky in the camera. If he is investigated, he can argue that it was taken accidentally.
After doing all this, he opened the private messages in the background and found that many fans were concerned about the follow-up of the matter, including the comments under his homepage, most of which were also concerned.
有的是闻讯赶来看高颜值小情侣秀恩爱的，结果没看到表示遗憾，问他什么时候上传回放；有的在问他为什么突然下播，怎么不据理力争一下把冲突化为采访，以前也不是没这么干过；有的则是在猜测会不会是那个男的把直播给关了的，问他是不是被揍了……
Li Zigao read through all the private messages and comments, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. Since the popularity has already been there, he might as well seize it and take advantage of the opportunity to play a pitiful role and earn some sympathy.
He did it right away. He went to the bathroom to put on makeup first - injury makeup. He had studied makeup for a year and his skills were pretty good. His live broadcasts were about exquisite boys, and he occasionally gave makeup tutorials. He also brought a full range of cosmetics when he went out to play.
There is a wound on the brow bone and another on the corner of the mouth, drawing the bruises like being hit by a fist, and then there is another scratch on the palm of the hand, perfect!
On New Year's Eve, many people are still awake, especially the fans of chestnut cake, who are all young people, and staying up late is common for them.
As soon as everyone received the reminder of the broadcast, they entered the live broadcast room one after another. As soon as they saw the "injured" chestnut cake, the barrage of comments started to fill in.
Li Zigao started out by chatting with everyone. When asked about the "injury" on his face, he avoided answering. Occasionally, when his mouth corners were touched during his conversation, he would make a "hissing" sound in pain.
As more and more people came to the live broadcast room, he pretended to be unable to bear the fans' questioning and hesitantly explained the whole story. The main idea was that he was wrong. He shouldn't have been so focused on watching the fireworks that he didn't notice that the camera of his mobile phone was tilted, and as a result, he accidentally took a photo of someone and was accused of taking a candid photo.
Li Zigao sighed, pretending to be calm, and continued, "Indeed, nowadays mobile phones and micro cameras are so convenient that candid photography is prevalent. I often see in the news that some girls were secretly photographed in elevators or subways. It's no wonder that everyone is worried about themselves. We should have a sense of self-protection and be brave enough to defend our rights."
As he spoke, he paid attention to the comments. Seeing that was discussing in the direction he was guiding, he said something about resisting candid photography, and then changed the subject: "But I am not in the same league as those people. I was just broadcasting a New Year's Eve fireworks show to everyone. I was so encrossed in watching that I didn't notice that my phone was tilted. Besides, it was a public place. I would have photographed other people when I was broadcasting. Why didn't others say that I was secretly photographing? Moreover, so many people were holding their phones to take pictures at the time, and I was not the only one broadcasting live. Why didn't he block other people's cameras and say that others were also secretly photographing?"
Many people in the barrage echoed this, saying that so many people are live streaming now, and sometimes you can meet a few live streamers when you go to a shopping mall, a restaurant, or when you go out traveling. If serious work is classified as candid filming, who would dare to shoot videos outside in the future?
[Haha, I was just enjoying it, but now that you said that I'm immediately addicted]
[Same as above, that guy is making a mountain out of a molehill. He must be a petty person in life.]
[Look down, that woman has such bad taste that she actually fell in love with such a man. She will have a hard time in the future.]
There were also fans who watched the whole process and spoke up for fairness, pointing out that it was clearly Li Zigao who filmed the people at the request of the audience in the live broadcast room, and he did not obtain their consent in advance, so saying this now was a bit of turning the tables.
However, there are very few such remarks, and after they are made, they are criticized by others and quickly brushed aside.
When fans mentioned the injury on Li Zigao's face again, he felt that the time had come, so he raised the "scratched" hand and lifted the loose hair on his forehead.
Fans caught it immediately and asked questions one after another.
Li Zigao hastily put his hand down. After a period of embarrassment, he watched the popularity of the live broadcast room rise again, and then he narrated the experience of being beaten with great emotion, and put the broken selfie stick in front of the camera to show everyone: "I was planning to apologize to him, but before I could say anything, he broke my selfie stick. You see, it is completely unusable. Then he said he would compensate me, and he cut off the live broadcast. Before I could react, his fist came towards my face.
I have never met such a person before. I was completely stunned! Just imagine, my selfie stick was made of nothing, but he broke it into pieces. He was so strong. There was still water from the melted snow on the ground. He punched me directly on my brow bone. I lost my balance and fell to the ground.
You know, the stone bricks on the lakeside platform are the kind of non-slip bricks with a very heavy grainy surface. I rubbed my hand directly on it and it broke my skin. I just got up and hadn't stood firmly when he punched me again. Look, it's the one at the corner of my mouth. "
After Chestnut Cake finished speaking, he hissed again.
The barrage of comments asked him whether he had fought back and why he didn't fight back. People like this should be made to suffer.
Li Zigao was dejected: "I wanted to fight him, but I couldn't! With my small body, it was already great that I could survive his punches. If there weren't so many kind-hearted people around trying to stop the fight, I think the broken bones would have been the least of my troubles."
Many comments suggested that he go to the hospital for an injury assessment and call the police, saying that this kind of lawless criminal is not worthy of being a human being.
Li Zigao was terrified: "Forget it, forget it. Everyone is under a lot of pressure in life now. I accidentally took a photo of him and probably touched a trigger button, causing him to suddenly go crazy. Everyone should try to avoid such emotionally unstable people when they go out in the future, because you never know what kind of crazy things a person who suddenly breaks down and goes crazy will do. Protecting yourself is the most important thing when you are outside."
After saying this, Li Zigao was praised by many netizens, saying that he was kind and generous, forgiving others when you can, repaying evil with kindness, etc. Some people also gave him gifts, saying that they were to comfort his injured body and mind. He was so excited that he thought to himself, this character is stable.
After chatting with fans and new viewers for a while, he ended the broadcast. When he looked at the backstage, he saw that there were more than 30,000 new followers! He was instantly ecstatic.
I watched the replay of the live broadcast from beginning to end, and only uploaded it to the homepage column after confirming that there was nothing to cut. Then I took off my makeup, went to the hot spring, and found a movie to watch when I came back. I lay down on the bed and fell asleep when it was almost dawn. (End of this chapter)
