Chapter 58
Regardless of whether Ma Hongping is a good person or not, this matter has been taken seriously.
The program team acted quickly. In other words, it was because of the instruction of the platform Nebula behind it. Two days later, a statement was issued through the official blog, and the recording was leaked by a marketing account to shut up those who insisted on asking for an explanation.
Execute first and report later. This is a common tactic used to gain leverage in negotiations.
Wen Yao and Xing Yun originally had a cooperative relationship based on interests, but because of this incident, they have temporarily fallen out.
Half an hour after the statement was issued, Wen Yao’s person in charge made a direct call to the top management of Nebula.
The tone was angry, but inevitably false. The Nebula executives remained calm and responded directly with "This is an internal report. What do you want us to do?" without any politeness.
With both witnesses and evidence present, Wen Yao was helpless.
Besides...
They also have their own little thoughts.
"Super Rookie" is gaining popularity, and Jie Xichao has single-handedly brought the show out of the circle. At this stage, the competition for the C position has already shown a vague trend. It is obvious to the naked eye that the debut group is a popular group, and they also want to get a piece of the pie.
With this in mind, Wen Yao hesitated when contacting the program team.
In a few seconds, the person in charge who wanted to communicate directly with Xia Ruiyan because of the call from the Xia family just now opened his mouth, but he said another person's name: "Hello, please help me call Yun Pan."
After a moment, the call was picked up.
The person in charge hesitated for a moment and slowed down his tone: "Hello, Panpan. I'm the person in charge of the public relations department at Wen Yao."
"I have just learned the preliminary situation from my agent. Don't worry or be afraid. This matter is due to the company's negligence. We will definitely stand by you and seek justice for you."
On the other end of the phone, Yun Pan turned around.
Xie Xichao's beautiful profile looked calm and gentle in the sunset light.
-
Xie Xichao is playing flying chess.
My teammates are Ai Qingyuan, Fu Wenzhe, and Ji Yan who lives in the same dormitory with me.
The chess pieces were borrowed by Ji Yan from his roommate, and the dice belonged to Jie Xichao. Jie Xichao didn't know why they were so upset, but he had already slaughtered them indiscriminately until the fifth game.
After Yun Pan finished the call, he casually asked, "What did you say?"
Issuing a statement is basically equivalent to announcing the entire program. Now that everyone knows about it, there's no need to avoid it.
Yun Pan said, "They told me not to worry, the company will handle it."
"Nonsense literature." Ai Qingyuan commented.
The next second he shouted, "Fu Wenzhe, you are not allowed to eat me..."
Fu Wen Ze sent his chess piece back to the starting point with a "pop". Then he said, "Xia Ruiyan looks like he's going to leave."
He glanced at Li Xichao.
He no longer believed that Jie Xichao had not guessed the content of the phone call.
Just like playing chess, everything is under this person’s control, even the direction of the show. It's clear that he is just a player with no background.
Xie Xichao looked calm and composed.
He said, "Not yet."
Until you leave, the matter is not settled.
As he spoke, he looked at the six that was thrown out, and sent Ai Qingyuan's last chess piece back home.
Then he asked Yun Pan: "Do you know what Xia Ruiyan is doing now?"
"I know this." Ji Yan interrupted.
"I passed by their practice room on the way here." He said calmly, "They were having a tantrum."
-
Ji Yan was not exaggerating at all.
Xia Ruiyan was indeed furious.
The target is his teammate in the same company.
His eyes were bloodshot, his face was gloomy, and he glanced at the people in front of him: "Who did it?"
There was total silence.
To be honest, if you dare to do it, you must be prepared to be exposed. Although no one present thought of recording audio or video, anyone who can be pulled out can be a witness. Some people secretly complained in their hearts, but they really didn't dare to say it out loud.
Jiang Wenhai sat in the corner polishing his guitar. After hearing Xia Ruiyan's words, his hand paused for a few seconds.
He was nervous for a moment, and then he thought of what Jie Xichao said. Jie Xichao said that the recording matter would not involve him.
He trusts Jie Xichao.
He continued to polish his guitar, waiting indifferently for Xia Ruiyan to finish.
He knew that this was just a last-ditch struggle.
As expected, no matter how angry Xia Ruiyan was, it was impossible for him to find the person who recorded the audio. But for him right now, the most important thing is not who informed on him.
Someone came in and told him there was a phone call.
He closed his eyes.
When he picked up the phone, his expression changed.
"What do you mean the company can't do anything about it?" He asked word by word, gritting his teeth.
The person on the other end of the phone said something, and Xia Ruiyan raised his hand and threw the phone hard against the wall. The phone made a "bang" sound, then fell heavily to the ground, and the screen shattered into pieces.
The intern standing by was stunned.
Xia Ruiyan said coldly: "I'll pay for it."
He took a deep breath and said, "I'm going out for a while."
“This is against the rules…”
"Fuck the rules!" Xia Ruiyan slammed the door and took out his cell phone to make a call.
Soon, a black car stopped at the gate of the base.
In autumn, it is always rainy. In the misty weather, the girls were holding umbrellas and chatting about the latest gossip. Suddenly, someone said, "Hey, look, is that Xia Ruiyan?"
“It seems to be true!”
"Xia Ruiyan! Xia Ruiyan, can you please respond..."
The sound and the black car disappeared in the rain.
-
That night, the video went viral on the Internet.
The statement issued by the program team during the day had already caused an uproar. The two protagonists of the story were both very popular, and even now their CP super topic is still in the top 30 of the CP list. This BE is not only tragic, but it has completely destroyed the foundation.
Everyone in the super topic was crying and wailing, and the most excited ones were Xia Ruiyan’s fans.
Who can accept that their idol is a bully?
They began to nitpick, picking holes in the statement. The recording was naturally edited and was about the enemy's target Xia Ruiyan.
The statement was flooded with comments, and new arguments began to spread since some time ago.
The new argument is:
Yun Pan and Xia Ruiyan have been tied up for so long, they have sucked enough blood. Now that my popularity is about to surpass the CP popularity of the two, I have to take the opportunity to unbind and purify it, so that my popularity will go to a higher level. And he is a member of the company's royal family, so the company is aiding and abetting his evil deeds.
This argument quickly spread.
Xia Ruiyan’s fans seemed to have found their backbone and immediately began to fight back.
"Bullying? Yun Pan and Brother Yan have been together for the past two years. There are so many behind-the-scenes footage in the vlog. Don't we have eyes for it?"
"@Wenyao Entertainment I really fuck you, get out of here, is this how you treat your company's cash cow, you just throw it away after using it? I can see that you didn't unbind the couple even though so many people complained about it, just to purify your beloved one now:) rnm return the money!"
"@Wenyao Entertainment-Brother Yun Panyan is so good to you, where is your conscience, where is your conscience, where is your conscience!"
"Do you really think everyone is a CP fan? Even without Xia Ruiyan, there is no way he can be purified to Yun Pan. Give up on this stupid company."
The fans' sincere feelings are mixed with the rhythm of fishing in troubled waters: "There are no good people in the entertainment industry. Xia Da probably just offended someone and was framed. Everyone knows about this kind of thing. The paparazzi have a lot of black material in their hands. It depends on who gets exposed. It's really boring."
The Internet is in chaos. Of course, most people with discerning eyes could see that some internet trolls were involved, leading the still stubborn fans to charge forward. However, after such a commotion, some passersby actually believed that there would be a "reversal", and their original critical words became somewhat hesitant.
But they didn't wait for the reversal.
But something else came. At 10:30 that evening, the official Weibo account of "Super Rookie" suddenly started a live broadcast.
Everyone clicked on it, and the pretty and tender boy stood with his back straight facing the camera. Although his eyelashes trembled slightly, his tone was still calm.
"Let me respond to what happened this time." Yun Pan said word by word, "You can ask whatever you want to ask."
*
This is destined to be a sleepless night.
No one expected that "Super Rookie" would last for three seasons, each one more exciting than the last.
First, the Purple Star descended to earth, and then a player publicly broadcast live to accuse bullying within the team. And this is just the second public performance. According to past practice, the second public performance is the beginning of each company’s efforts.
During the finals week, things change every day.
All in all, the popularity of this live broadcast reached an unprecedented level.
Yun Pan said that you can ask whatever you want, and naturally someone really asked. Most of them were Xia Ruiyan’s fans, but no one expected that the usually introverted and well-behaved boy would be so cold and calm this time, out of character.
"Is there really bullying? I don't know how you define it, but he cursed from time to time, but physical violence was rare. He was in a bad mood when we recorded the recording, and I made him angry at the time."
"I made him angry first, so why not blame him? If buying him the wrong amount of coffee should be punished by being burned with a cigarette, then just believe what you believe."
"When did it start? I had just been in there for two months. At that time, I thought I had offended him. Later, I found out that he simply had a violent tendency and I was the unlucky one who was bullied by him."
The comments were scrolling rapidly, and he answered selectively. The staff in charge of the live broadcast management felt a little distressed when they heard it.
Each response was crystal clear.
Gradually, the live broadcast room finally realized that this was indeed a fact that was set in stone.
The speed of refreshing the screen has slowed down.
The accusation of a real person is far more powerful than words. Facing a face like this that has just reached adulthood, anyone with a conscience would not be able to be as unscrupulous as typing.
Some of Xia Ruiyan’s fans finally began to wake up.
There were gradually more words of comfort in the live broadcast room, but some people still broke down because of it.
-Why didn't you say it earlier? Why did you endure it for so long? I always thought that even if you were not real, you must be very good friends. Why did you give me hope and then tear my dream apart?
Obviously, this is a CP fan.
Compared to fans of only one couple, fans of both partners feel uncomfortable in another direction.
Yun Pan pursed her lips.
After a moment, he took a deep breath and whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm a coward."
He is a coward.
He was like a turtle carrying its shell on its back, deceiving himself with the idea that bad people would always be punished by God, as if with such an expectation, the pain in his heart and body would disappear.
But this world is neither so cruel nor so gentle.
Suffering in silence is never the way to solve problems.
He only understood this truth today.
This is a fact. But when he said these words, Xie Xichao did not agree.
He just said, "Yun Pan, don't be too hard on yourself."
Don't be too hard on yourself.
You are only eighteen years old.
Eighteen years old allows for mistakes, allows for cowardice, allows for confusion. Eighteen is the most beautiful age. The only bad and condemnable things are the evil people who destroy this beauty.
Yun Pan closed his eyes and repeated it.
"I am a coward," he said word by word, "and I will always be a coward."
Having said this, he paused for two seconds.
He thought about what had happened in the past two days.
Jie Xichao told him that he would leave everything to him, and all the problems that he could not handle seemed to be solved easily. When Ji Yan was with him, he said with emotion, Pan, your brother is really the most insightful and intelligent "good guy" I have ever met in this world.
He knew what Ji Yan meant.
This matter had nothing to do with Jie Xichao, but he arranged everything for him.
Even if Jiang Wenhai was unwilling to come forward, Yun Pan had to take charge of the recording himself - Yun Pan felt that this was natural, if not him, who else could take it?
However, Xie Xichao's tone still carried regret: "This will put more pressure on you."
He considered everything for him, but...
Yun Panxiang.
But Xie Xichao himself is still burdened with the rumors and negative information created by the program crew.
People who bully others present themselves as gentle and older to the outside world, while those who silently contribute are labeled as "cold violence" and "small group bullying". Even just now, Xie Xichao was worried about him and asked if he could stay by his side, but was persuaded by the program crew.
The program team asked him to do the live broadcast because they wanted to use the established facts to create a lot of popularity for the program.
And not letting Xie Xichao appear on camera...
Jie Xichao is not allowed to appear on camera.
I didn't want to give him any chance to explain.
Even though, they were the ones who threw the dirty water on Jie Xichao.
The calmness just now suddenly disappeared, and Yun Pan suddenly pursed his lips.
He checked the time.
There are five minutes left before the show ends.
Nothing serious had happened, and the managers in charge of the live broadcast had already let their guard down. He clenched his palms and suddenly raised his head: "Actually..."
"Actually," he said, "it was Brother Xi Chao who helped me."
A string of question marks suddenly floated across the barrage.
The staff member nearby raised his head in surprise, unable to wrap his mind around what was going on.
A few seconds later, he immediately stood up and wanted to turn off the live broadcast, but Yun Pan had already quickly continued: "It was Brother Xi Chao who first discovered the wound on my body. He was also the one who always stayed by my side to encourage me and help me sort out the evidence and communicate with the program team. How could such a person bully others? Don't believe the editing. He is not..."
"Bang" the live broadcast was cut off in a panic.
The unfinished words disappeared into the air.
His brother Xichao is not the bad guy that the program crew said he was.
His eighteenth year was turned into a disaster because of Xia Ruiyan.
But meeting Jie Xichao was the luckiest thing that had happened to him in the past eighteen years.
