Chapter 475: Slap in the Face
Here it comes.
Shen Zhichu was so bored that she was about to fall asleep on the stage, and her responses were intermittent. But after hearing what the reporter said, she suddenly became energetic.
Chen Zhichu specially drew eyeliner today. Her eyes usually looked misty like water, but they became sharp as soon as she lowered her eyes a little. Now her aura was completely open on the stage, and her pride, confidence and arrogance were released without any restraint.
The people standing behind didn't feel anything, but the reporters who were closer clearly felt the chill rising, enveloped by a powerful deterrent force, and dared not look directly into Shen Zhichu's eyes.
Especially the female reporter who made provocative remarks about Shen Zhichu, her hair stood on end and her calves trembled. She tried hard to suppress the fear in her heart. Looking at Shen Zhichu's face, she saw her lips opened.
"How do you say that?"
The female reporter pushed the person behind her and said while holding the phone.
"I just got the latest news. UR has chosen a suitable spokesperson, Lin Qi, and you... UR just posted an explanation on Weibo, saying that your character doesn't align with their brand values."
After the reporter finished speaking, the comments on the live broadcast went crazy, expressing disbelief.
"What? UR is looking for Lin Qi to be the spokesperson? Did Lin Qi steal the endorsement from Shen Zhichu?"
"Didn't you hear what that reporter said? UR made the choice themselves because Shen Zhichu didn't fit the brand. They took one look at her and overturned their veto."
"I'm dying of laughter. This is the first joke I've heard this year. These past few days, Shen Zhichu's fans have been so obsessed with her being the next UR endorser that it's like Chinese New Year, and they've been trying to drag down other artists. Turns out UR doesn't even look down on her. They're really kicking the shit out of her. And what does the box office really prove? I bet most people who go to the movies go to see Mr. Bai. Shen Zhichu's just lucky to be in a movie with Mr. Bai."
"The first time UR came to China to select a spokesperson, they said there was something wrong with Shen Zhichu's character. What exactly is the problem?"
It takes only a few words to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to refute them. Now the cost of spreading rumors is getting lower and lower. People believe whatever others say, even if there is no decent evidence.
The reporters on the scene waited for Shen Zhichu to answer, but Shen Zhichu just slowly took out his mobile phone: "Wait a minute, let me see what they posted first."
Everyone was really waiting for her quietly in the audience, and even the live broadcast became much quieter. All the cameras were focused on her, not missing any details on her face.
What was reported online was exactly as the reporter said. What the UR official said was very convincing. If she hadn't been involved in this matter, she would have almost believed it.
Lin Qi also released the contract with UR and officially announced it. The comments below are the real New Year celebrations.
On the contrary, Shen Zhichu felt like he was going through a funeral. Not only did he have to endure a strong sense of disappointment, but he also had to endure the ridicule and insults from fans of other artists.
After Shen Zhichu finished reading, just when everyone thought she was going to say something, she pressed a few buttons on the phone, put it to her ear and started making a call.
While waiting for the call, she looked out and saw the fans who came to the scene holding light boards to support her.
Those fans like her and will not stop believing her because of rumors. Even when facing all kinds of strange looks, they will hold up their light boards to cheer her on.
At this moment, worry appeared on their faces, as if they didn't know what to do.
The call was connected, and Shen Zhichu said lightly: “Let him go now.”
Shen Zhichu didn't deliberately lower her voice, and she had a microphone on her body, so everyone present could hear it.
Everyone was confused: Release it? Release what? What should be released?
After the call ended, Shen Zhichu stretched out her hand to the side, and the person standing next to her quickly handed the microphone to her.
She looked at the fans behind her and said, "Don't look sad. Don't worry, I won't let you down."
In this life, she will not let herself down nor will she let down those who love her. She will become the best version of herself, shining brightly and having a brilliant future.
Fans screamed in the distance, and Shen Zhichu shook the phone in his hand: "I have posted everything you want to know on Weibo. If you want to know, just go and read it yourself."
After Shen Zhichu finished speaking, he put down the microphone in his hand and turned to leave. Everyone was unable to react in time. For a moment, they didn't know whether to chase Shen Zhichu or look at their phones.
The scene was in a state of chaos, so the following scene appeared: after Shen Zhichu left, the reporters took out their mobile phones and held up microphones to chase him.
Wang Xiangrong reacted quickly. When the incident happened, he immediately contacted people to help Shen Zhichu get out, and asked Zheng Xiao, who was closest to Shen Zhichu, to protect her.
Zheng Xiao was beside her: "What's going on?"
"Didn't I tell you I uploaded it to Weibo? Go check it out for yourself." Shen Zhichu got in the car. "I'm going back first. I'll leave the scene to you. Bye."
Zheng Xiao watched her leave safely before opening his phone and saw the trending search without searching.
He clicked on them one by one.
To put it simply, UR looked down on Shen Zhichu, but Shen Zhichu was shameless and marketed UR online, which brought them a bad influence.
Now they have signed Lin Qi. As for Shen Zhichu, they originally wanted to sign her, but she had a bad character and did not fit the brand image, so they cancelled the cooperation.
This Weibo post was just published not long ago when Shen Zhichu logged into Weibo.
