Hengcheng Central Hospital.
He Ling looked at the increasingly intense public opinion trend, and his heart, which had been irritated for the whole day, finally got some relief. He looked at the comments on Ji Li's Weibo who were being attacked, and used his small account to like every abusive comment.
"Have you arranged the topic of having the crew fire Ji Li?" He looked at Sun Yong standing aside and asked.
Sun Yong shook his head and said worriedly, "The company has already called to warn you. He Ling, just do it. There's no need to spend money to arrange this trending search term too deliberately. If the fans want to push it up, it will naturally be pushed up."
After all, Ji Li is an artist of Dream Media, and the company cannot allow He Ling to suppress him into oblivion.
"It's already this late, can the company still be fair?" He Ling looked at him with disdain. He took two photos of his plastered leg and said, "If you don't make arrangements, I will find a way to make arrangements myself."
Sun Yong felt something was wrong. "He Ling, don't take advantage of the chaos to stir up trouble on Weibo. Now your fans and netizens are on your side. Be careful of the backlash. Just post a normal Weibo to let everyone know that you are safe."
"I know. I know what's going on." He Ling said one thing and meant another.
He logged into his Weibo account, quickly sent a picture and text message, and then deleted it within seconds.
Some of He Ling's fans are worried about He Ling and have been waiting on Weibo for the latter to send a message. So, the moment He Ling posted this new update, someone took a screenshot of it.
"It's fate that I can't fight against. There is no shortcut for me to take, but I just hope to have a clear conscience along the way."
This sentence, which was deleted in seconds, immediately caused a huge uproar among fans and netizens.
What does this mean?
Doesn’t it just indirectly verify the authenticity of the explosive post!
Ji Li took advantage of Qin Li's "shortcut" to snatch the role from He Ling. The latter had no capital to compete and could only accept his fate.
Fans imagined a whole drama and felt angry and distressed. On the one hand, they were busy comforting the injured He Ling, and on the other hand, they launched even more fierce attacks on Ji Li who "stole the role".
Not only the fans, but even the book fans who were attracted by the "Reuters" yesterday were speaking in his favor.
Nowadays, it is extremely difficult to interpret IP paper characters into suitable real-life images.
It was difficult to find an actor whose image and temperament matched the original work and was acceptable to most book fans. He was dedicated to the filming, but was accidentally injured due to the crew's mistake. As a result, he was replaced by someone with connections on the same day.
Who can endure this?
Who wouldn't be disgusting?
Public opinion increased instead of decreased. Not only Ji Li was scolded, but some radical fans even used Qin Li's name to insult him.
Sun Yong saw the message late and immediately couldn't sit still. "He Ling, did you ignore my words? You posted a Weibo post that you deleted within seconds. Do you think your implication is not obvious enough?"
He Ling was unmoved, instead he raised the corner of his mouth in triumph, "Why are you panicking? Don't you see that the fans and netizens are on my side?"
The book fans and He Ling fans who were paying attention to this matter joined forces to increase the popularity of the entry #Boycott Ji Li's role in "The Young Master"#.
Tomorrow morning, he will ask President Zheng to put pressure on the crew in the name of the investor.
Netizens don’t like Ji Li, and investors are boycotting Ji Li. As time goes by, he doesn’t believe that Ji Li can continue to stay in the crew!
"The relationship between Ji Li and Qin Li was originally fabricated by us based on hearsay. It's fine if we let a stinky marketing account post it, but why are you joining in the fun? What if the news gets to Qin Li's team..."
Sun Yong obviously thought deeply about it.
According to gossip, Qin Li is not only successful and well-connected in the entertainment industry, but his wealth and background cannot be underestimated.
Qin Li has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, but he has never been involved in any unfounded "black material" of this kind, and no media dares to write false rumors about him.
It was already a very aggressive move for them to spend money to bribe the marketing account and involve Qin Li. As a result, He Ling was so fearless that he dared to secretly "confirm" the relationship between Qin Li and Ji Li?
"The relationship between the two of them was hyped up by marketing accounts and guessed by fans and passers-by. I didn't say anything." He Ling cleared himself of the charges with a clear conscience.
"Don't bluff me. Teacher Qin Li is so busy, how can he have time to look at the comments online?" He Ling started to chase him away. "Okay, it's almost eleven o'clock. I need to rest."
He Ling posted another serious Weibo to report that he was safe. Seeing that more and more people were boycotting Ji Li's performance, he finally went to bed contentedly.
How does the saying go?
A blessing in disguise.
After this incident, his popularity peaked much higher. Even if he takes a three-month break due to injury, he won't have to worry about announcements after his comeback.
Sun Yong hesitated to speak, feeling somewhat uneasy. But it has already happened, and no amount of talking will help.
He thought of the other protagonist who was at the center of public opinion and walked back to the next room.
Sun Yong prepared a long speech in his mind, trying to pretend to be "concerned" about Ji Li, but he found out -
The other party blocked my WeChat and phone number.
As his agent, he was completely abandoned by Ji Li as soon as the incident happened.
…
He Ling had sweet dreams all night long, and when he woke up he felt full of energy, as if even the pain in his feet had eased a lot.
He opened his phone and planned to see the results of his night's activities, but when he saw the number one trending search term, the smile on his face instantly faded.
——He Ling is pretentious and acts like a big shot.
He entered the hot search at midnight and checked the content, only to find that the most popular Weibo post was actually posted by the official Weibo of "The Young Master".
"We respect every excellent actor, and the following video only represents part of the truth."
The ten-minute video is a documentary record of the crew, with a date stamp on the upper left.
He Ling understood instantly that this was his first day in the group!
In the video, He Ling had a sour face. The wire was only about three or four meters high, but he was yelling and screaming. Sometimes he said the back of his hand was scratched, and sometimes he said the wire hurt his hips...
The wire operators accompanied him in filming and rehearsing again and again under the scorching sun, but all they got in return was his increasingly impatient face.
"Why do you ask for so many things? I don't want to shoot anymore! Whoever wants to shoot can shoot it!" He Ling in the video yelled at the director, left everyone behind and turned away.
In addition, there is a video content from yesterday morning. He Ling was perfunctory in front of the martial arts instructor and even had a bad face during the rehearsal.
As a result, not only did he hurt himself, but two wire workers were also injured.
"Have you seen the video online?" Sun Yong walked in quickly from the next room. He didn't look happy. Obviously, he had also seen the Weibo and hot searches released by the crew.
"These videos have obviously been edited! The crew is so shady!" He Ling clenched his phone, feeling angry and panicked.
Yao Chuan accused him with a dark face without leaving any words for him to say, and he was the only one who was showing a bad face and losing his temper unilaterally.
——If you could control your temper, how could the crew get these things?
Sun Yong barely suppressed his true feelings and took a deep breath, "Don't express your opinion yet, I'll call the crew and ask."
The attention on He Ling in the past two days is much higher than usual, with marketing and hot searches coming one after another. The injuries during filming and the fact that his role was snatched away were all heavily promoted, causing many people to follow suit and scold the crew.
As a result, no one expected that the crew officials would personally come out and fight back -
Acting like a big shot, not being serious, getting injured while courting death, and even involving crew members...all these incidents and scenes are completely different from the personality that He Ling has been marketing to the outside world.
Faced with the sudden reversal, fans were confused and at a loss, black fans chose to mock and ridicule, and passers-by and netizens also shook their heads and blamed He Ling's attitude during filming.
——Wow, this really opens my eyes. Are you so awesome on the set? Do you dare to challenge the director openly?
——Is it so easy for celebrities to make money these days? Are you getting angry after just a few shots?
——Who is this person messing with? It's so artificial that it makes me sick.
——As a fan of the book, I began to doubt. How could He Ling, with such a personality, possibly play the role of Xie Yan well?
——It is a fact that He Ling was injured. There is no need for the crew to deliberately release the video to discredit him, right?
——Fans, stop trying to save face. We all have eyes. Were these clips forced by the crew to act out by He Ling? The character is completely shattered, he is too good at making trouble.
…
Inside the hotel suite, Baozi stared at the direction of public opinion and finally smiled happily, "Brother Ji, just as you expected, a large number of netizens have turned around and blamed He Ling!"
Facing the unexpected situation, Ji Li seemed very calm, "He Ling just wants to ruin my reputation and force the crew to fire me. Of course I can't do what he wants."
So, as soon as the explosive post came out last night, Ji Li asked Baozi to contact the crew directly to discuss a solution.
He Ling's outrageous actions not only targeted Ji Li, but also harmed the interests of the crew. The replacement of roles was a well-considered decision by the entire production team, and it was not made because of online revelations. They will definitely not fulfill the intentions of He Ling's team and netizens.
If even the roles are decided by netizens, how will the crew shoot future dramas?
Yao Chuan and others identified Ji Li, and after discussing together, helped him to fight back head-on at the height of the storm. After all, the drama has been filmed for a while, and it can be used as an opportunity to stir up some positive attention.
Ji Li picked up the snow cake that had been naughty since early morning and placed it next to the pet bowl. The latter smelled the scent of goat milk powder, rubbed the back of his hand affectionately, and then began to drink it.
Ji Li glanced at the time and told Baozi, "Start sending the second wave of messages."
"Okay!" Baozi excitedly took out the draft box and sent out the message he had already edited.
Not only that, he also quickly notified his entertainment blogger friends in the list to help forward the message.
Baozi’s Weibo account is an entertainment celebrity with many fans who are also very active.
Not long after, netizens who were surfing the Internet noticed a new Weibo post.
@娱乐圈圈仔: I can’t hold it in any longer, so I’m going to reveal one more thing to you all. Ji Li was He Ling’s stand-in at the beginning. The Reuters video that was wildly praised by fans and book lovers the day before yesterday was actually of Ji Li.
The attached video was allowed by the crew and is a high-definition video of the same Reuters footage shot from another angle.
The man in white with his face covered jumped down from the tree. His superior and neat figure was particularly eye-catching. A corner of the white gauze on his hat was blown up by the wind, revealing his profile briefly, which was very attractive.
The filming on the set was over, and the "troublesome" veil was lightly taken off, revealing Ji Li's overly exquisite ancient costume to everyone. In the video, his eyes fell on one place, and he suddenly revealed a charming and brilliant smile.
——Ahhhhhhh mom, Ji Li’s looks are delicious to me! ! !
——After all this time, the Reuters video that made everyone scream was actually about Ji Li? Are He Ling’s fans embarrassed? Who was it that swore so confidently that he would not mistake his idol? So embarrassing, hahahaha.
——Xie Yanshu fan is here! I jumped on the spot and spun in the air, and finally pulled out a banner: Ji Li, I can do it!
——A pure bystander said that this person’s ancient costume looks better than He Ling’s.
——Don’t say that the fans are slapped in the face, even the fans of this book feel embarrassed. Ji Li, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have scolded you on impulse yesterday. This look is really beautiful!
——To be fair, He Ling’s acting like a big shot delayed the filming, and he needs to recover for three months. The crew can’t wait for him forever. There's nothing wrong with Ji Li taking over as a stand-in, right?
——It was revealed that Ji Li had zero resources? But he could only play a stand-in at the beginning?
——The rumors about Ji Li and Qin Li are simply nonsense. If they really had a relationship, why would they have to go through the whole stunt of using a stand-in? Some people also scolded Ji Li for bringing money into the group. Yes, she is good-looking and brought her looks into the group~
Baozi was amused by the netizens' sharp and cheerful comments, which swept away the gloomy mood of last night. "Brother Ji, netizens are all praising you! There are also many book fans who said that they were slapped in the face, but they were willing to be slapped."
The reason is simple.
Because Ji Li looks so good in ancient costumes, in this circle, appearance is justice, capital, and popularity, and this sentence will never be outdated.
As for the negative information about him and Qin Li, it has no basis to stand the test without solid evidence.
Baozi was so happy that he almost hummed a little tune when he saw Ji Li's number of fans increasing instead of decreasing.
Real-time comments are no longer filled with overwhelming abuse, but instead popular and nasty comments are being wildly accused and criticized by new netizens.
Ji Li's heart relaxed a little. He held Xue Bing in his arms and rubbed his bulging belly. Suddenly, a phone call came in.
Ji Li saw the caller ID and answered immediately, "Brother Li."
A faint chuckle came from the other end of the phone, "You are amazing. You turned the public opinion situation around in just two moves."
Ji Li curled his lips and asked, "Brother Li, have you made any progress on the matter I asked you to do last night?"
There is a financial backer behind He Ling, and the other party is very likely one of the investors of the crew. However, with Ji Li’s current ability, he is unable to find out quickly.
That's why he called Qin Li and asked for help.
"Yes, I have checked it out." Qin Li answered, and then asked, "Are you really sure that you want to expose the matter between He Ling and his financial sponsor? In this entertainment industry, leaving a way out for everything is not necessarily a bad thing."
He Ling is pursuing the idol route. Once this news gets out, he will be badly injured if he doesn't die.
"Leave a way out? There's no need for that. I have to return all the dirty water He Ling threw at me. Before he hurt others, he should have thought about the consequences of being retaliated against."
Ji Li's eyes flashed with a hint of toughness, and he said frankly, "Even if I stop now, He Ling won't remember my kindness at all."
The young man appears to be gentle and kind on the outside, but in reality he is tough and direct.
Qin Li received this unexpected yet reasonable answer and replied lightly, "Okay, I'll help you."
In fact, he didn't think the young man's behavior was excessive, but rather it was justified.
Stars in the entertainment industry have to create a 'good persona', but they are not saints. Why should they swallow their anger when being bullied?
…
Inside the hospital, He Ling, lying on the hospital bed, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He didn't expect that in less than an hour, the backlash of the marketing would completely take effect.
Does he attract fans through his roles? No, the person who truly performed what the book fans wanted was Ji Li.
Was he injured because of his dedication during filming? No, he acted like a big shot in public and caused injuries to the crew members.
All kinds of videos have been circulated all over the Internet, hammering him into the bottom of the pit.
Sun Yong paced back and forth in annoyance. He had already asked the company's public relations department to step in and slowly reduce the heat. It’s just that netizens are still in the excited period of "eating melons", and the effect of controlling the situation is not obvious for the time being.
"Can you please stop walking around and making me upset!" He Ling yelled.
Sun Yong was so angry at his drinking that he stood by his bed and said, "It's already this hour, and you're still angry with me? I tell you, now we can only hope that this matter will pass quietly and nothing else will happen."
"The Internet has no memory. By the time you recover from your leg injury, no one on the Internet will remember this incident."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Ling's voice suddenly trembled, "...It's over."
"What's over?" Sun Yong was confused.
He Ling stared at the entry that suddenly became the number one trending search, and his heart sank to the bottom - He Ling slept with someone at a drinking party.
