[As an actress, Wen Tang's style is deplorable. She changes men like changing clothes and is fickle. I didn't expect her brother to be even worse than her. He drove drunk without a license. How hateful! He is the scum of society! He should be dragged out and shot!]
[Look at his arrogant attitude when he was arrested. What does this show? He ignored the law, ignored morality, and acted lawless! Who gave him such courage? ]
[How could a younger brother of an actor be so arrogant? ]
[Heh, I used to think Wen Tang was a good actress and dedicated, so no matter how many negative news she had, I was still her fan. But this time, two lives were involved, and I can no longer be her fan. I’m quitting being her! ]
[My sister is Wen Tang——Hahaha, how old are you, kid? Are you still breastfeeding? ]
[…Um, let me just say this. Isn’t it too arbitrary to conclude that this is true just because the person in the video said he was Wen Tang’s brother? Wen Tang has been acting for so many years, and everyone knows that she comes from a single-parent family. Her mother is her manager, and she has been single since her divorce. Where does she get a brother? ]
[Besides her mother, I haven't heard of any other relatives of hers... You're scolding her without knowing the truth. I'm afraid you're scolding the wrong person. Besides, even if it's her brother, so what? She wasn't the one who hit him, so why are you scolding her?]
[Tangtang is really wronged! ]
[Please point the gun at the person involved and don't involve others, okay? ]
[Anyway, I don't believe it. My Tangtang doesn't have any younger brother at all! Please don't make up rumors. You will be held legally responsible if you do! ]
[Haha, too naive, how could she be born with only one mother? ]
[Who goes to recognize his sister for no reason? Those who say it was a frame-up or a rumor, please use your brains. Why didn't he recognize anyone else but Wen Tang? ]
[The police report did not see the unlicensed drunk driver Wen, open your eyes and see clearly, he has the same surname as Wen Tang! Is there anything wrong with this? ]
【Wen Tang’s fans should not come, lest they get scolded together.】
[These are three lives, don't take it lightly! Wen Tang must come out and give an explanation today. Why did your brother dare to drive without a license? Isn't it because you are backing him up? ]
[How can an actor make such a fuss? No matter what, I must give everyone a satisfactory answer! ]
[Pray for this family of three. All criminals should be arrested and locked in iron cages. Those who shelter them will be punished as well! ]
[With such a character, you still want to be an artist? I have long wanted to say that the threshold for being an artist is too low! Treating such a person as an idol is simply a bad example for our next generation. ]
…
【Wen Tang, we need an explanation. 】
[Wen Tang, come out and give the public an explanation! ]
…
Under the hot search on Weibo, people were excited and cursed.
Wen Tang’s fans have always been recognized for their strong fighting power, but this time when they spoke up for her, they were drowned out by the saliva of netizens.
This incident caused such a big stir, and it happened to be during the lunch break at noon. Not only did Ke Xin see it while browsing Weibo, but other people in the crew also saw it.
Regardless of whether the person who fled the scene was really Wen Tang’s biological brother, overall, this matter had nothing to do with Wen Tang.
Legally, there is no such thing as collective punishment.
But who made Wen Tang a popular star?
A basin of dirty water was poured on your head, what an unexpected disaster!
When you are famous, you will have a lot of gossips. It is hard to guarantee that there is no conspiracy by Wen Tang's rivals. Confusion of right and wrong and manipulation of public opinion have always been a common tactic used in the circle.
As people in the circle, our views on this matter are much more rational than those netizens.
But there are also people who like to watch the fun and point fingers secretly.
Ke Xin handed the phone to Wen Tang to look at, and said everything after that. But when Wen Tang really looked at it, he began to regret it.
It's enough to just say this kind of thing, why do you have to let her read the comments below?
As a star, who hasn’t been cyberbullied? But stars are also human beings, and they are not born with a big heart and no sense of pain.
"Tangtang..." Jianwen Tang had a cold face and no expression. He just flipped through the comments page by page. Ke Xin stood by at a loss, "Those people don't know anything at all, but they think they are just talking nonsense... Let's not read it. There's nothing interesting to see."
Yangyang on the side also said: "That's right, Tangtang, don't watch it. What does what Wen Anle did have to do with you? It's affecting your mood for no reason!"
Wen Tang finally understood what Liu Meifen meant by calling him this morning.
This news spread quickly, and soon Director Zhou came over with a cell phone.
"Wen Tang, can I ask you something?"
Wen Tang looked up at him.
Director Zhou hesitated for a moment, but finally raised his hand and handed a photo on his phone to Wen Tang, and asked, "Is this... really your brother?"
Wen Tang just looked at him with cold eyes for a long time. Director Zhou touched his nose and said, "Okay, no matter if he is your brother or not, it will have a bad influence if this matter is made too big. You'd better solve it as soon as possible and don't affect the filming."
It doesn't matter if they say it here or not.
This was just the beginning. The speed of public opinion fermentation was far beyond everyone's imagination. The family's life story was dug out. The couple opened a bun shop and worked hard in Lingcheng with their children. They took out a loan to buy a house and a car at the beginning of the year. As a result, they received bad news from home. The elderly in the family passed away. They just went back to attend the funeral and came back. They were both hit and sent to intensive care. It was very tragic. Especially they have a daughter who is less than six years old. If her parents encounter an accident, you can imagine how miserable her future will be.
Wen Tang and Wen Anle were badly scolded on the Internet, and everyone was outraged. Even the two cats that Wen Tang had posted photos of on Weibo were affected. The two cats ate imported cat food and lived in a luxury house. They were raised to be shiny, smooth and plump. People scolded them, saying that human life was not as valuable as cat's life.
When public opinion is directed at you, everything you do is wrong.
In this situation, how could Wen Tang continue filming? A large number of reporters heard the news and blocked the outside of the crew. The crew’s security guards couldn’t stop them.
Wen Tang received another call from Liu Meifen, who told her to go home immediately. But it was too late, as the reporters had already blocked her way.
Wen Tang escaped with difficulty with the help of the crew's security.
Squeezed in the crowd, when she was leaving, she looked back and saw Gong Yue looking at her. He was a young man with little experience in the world, and the indignation and contempt in his eyes were exactly the same as those of the busybodies on the Internet, without any concealment.
Not understanding, not exploring the truth, no matter who hit her, just relying on one side of the story, even if it's just putting that big hat on her head.
When he accidentally caught Wen Tang's gaze returning to him, he was startled and turned his face away, avoiding his gaze with Wen Tang.
Guilty?
Don't dare to look at her?
Wen Tang didn’t know and didn’t want to know.
Oh.
Everything on the phone is unreal.
He is nothing more than that.
……shallow.
Even though he didn't know that she was her, after what she did today, she would never have anything to do with him again. She had her own backbone and pride.
Forget it then.
Not worth it.
Wen Tang turned around, walked through the crowded crowd, and walked forward resolutely.
The author has something to say:
Thank you for your support~
Chapter 28
The entertainment industry is extremely realistic and full of negative news. That afternoon, Wen Tang lost several endorsements. Also, the last time he went for an audition, he had agreed to sign a contract with director Tsui Hark for a new movie. The contract was originally scheduled to be signed two days later, but they said there were some unexpected changes and the signing would be delayed.
We are all smart people, who doesn’t understand that this is what it means to not sign?
After hanging up the phone, Liu Meifen was furious. She paced back and forth in Wen Tang's apartment holding the phone, and said angrily: "What do they mean? It's just a small matter, and it became a hot topic. They all came to terminate the contract. They didn't even think about how low they were when they came to us with money and wanted us to sign. They came to our door again and again and let us choose. What's the matter with being on the hot topic? Do they think we can't solve it? Ha, what a joke! We have been in the industry for so many years, and we have seen all kinds of storms. If they do things like this, don't even think about us cooperating with them again in the future!"
After the hot search at noon today, Liu Meifen was recalled to the company for an emergency meeting with the company's boss and public relations. The media reported out of context. In fact, only the child's father was hit and is still in a coma. The child's mother woke up in the morning and is no longer in danger. She is currently in intensive care and will be transferred to a general ward soon.
Although this is the fact, the company also knows that as long as one person is still unconscious, they cannot speak out at this time, because everyone understands that two lives are lives, and one life is also a life, there is no difference at all!
If Wen Tang dares to come out to clarify and refute at this point, she will be faced with an even more violent storm of public opinion. The team can only pray that the male owner wakes up quickly and that no one gets killed.
The company carried out emergency public relations and the internet trolls took the first step to sway public opinion in Wen Tang's favor, saying that Wen Tang was brought up by Liu Meifen since childhood and had little contact with his father, and that everything Wen Anle did was personal and had nothing to do with Wen Tang. Wen Anle is Wen Anle and Wen Tang is Wen Tang. However, the effect was minimal.
Public opinion is currently in a fermentation and explosion period. It is impossible to suppress it. Moreover, this family of three, the husband and wife, and the children are working hard to make a living. How many ordinary people are like this? They bought a house and a car, and saw a bright life just around the corner, but they were hit by a car and their entire future was taken away. Driving without a license, drunk driving, hit-and-run, any one of these would make people unable to help but spit on him, but Wen Anle has all of them! The life and death of the pillar of the family who was hit is unknown, leaving only a five-year-old child crying for food. How can such a situation not affect the kind and soft hearts of thousands of strangers? It is sad to work hard but get such an ending.
Wen Anle was naturally the one who was scolded the most, but he was now detained in the police station. How could he know what was happening outside? It was useless to scold him! If the public's emotions could not be vented, they would naturally spread to other people, and Wen Tang was naturally the best candidate.
Losing endorsements and the female lead in movies are secondary. In fact, everyone knows clearly what can be touched and what cannot be touched. Wen Tang has been on many hot searches in the past, but they were all gossips that were harmless. But this time it involves human lives, which is not on the same level at all.
If this situation isn't handled properly, Wen Tang's acting career will really be over.
The entertainment industry is so realistic and cruel.
"Wentang, don't worry. Let the company handle this matter. Just stay at home during this time and try not to look at your phone." After scolding those brand owners, Liu Meifen received another call from the company, asking her to go back for a meeting. The fire had already spread to her doorstep, and it was extremely urgent. Before leaving, she had to calm Wen Tang down to prevent him from having wild thoughts.
"I've already asked for leave from the crew. Wait until this matter is resolved before returning to filming. It doesn't matter if you lose a few endorsements. There will naturally be other endorsements to fill the gap in the future. Just think of it as a vacation for yourself. You've been so busy in the past few years that you haven't had much free time. Take this opportunity to have a good rest!"
Liu Meifen finally arranged a vacation for Wen Tang, but it was semi-forced. After that, Liu Meifen hurriedly left in her high heels, and she stayed in Wen Tang's apartment for less than half an hour.
Things are far from as simple as Liu Meifen said.
At eight o'clock in the evening, when the Internet traffic is the best, various marketing accounts released another video as if in an organized manner. In the video, Liu Meifen went to the police station in the middle of the night, and then went to the hospital with Wen Haifeng to meet with the victim's relatives and friends. Wen Haifeng, as Wen Anle's father, was arrogant and had no sense of admitting his mistakes. He opened his mouth and said that he would throw money at people. His tone and words were exactly the same as when Wen Anle was arrested.
"You blocked us in the police station, refused to let Anle go, and insisted on sentencing him. In the end, you just want more money? How much do you want? Just tell me!" After saying that, he spat, "This is really unlucky for me, how unlucky!"
Liu Meifen was standing aside. Although she didn't say anything, her expression, which was even colder and more arrogant than Wen Haifeng's, said it all.
She was woken up in the middle of the night by Wen Haifeng's phone call and came to deal with these things. Naturally, she was impatient. Wen Haifeng wanted her to use money to hit someone and didn't want his son to go to jail because of this matter. However, she didn't care whether Wen Anle was sentenced or not. She only cared about Wen Tang's reputation and future.
"We will take full responsibility for this matter. We are willing to pay for it. We will be fully responsible for the cost of treatment. I have only one request." Liu Meifen took out the contract she had prepared before leaving and handed it to the patient's relatives who were already crying and at a loss. "You must sign this confidentiality contract and promise not to leak any word about today to the outside world, otherwise I will not pay a penny."
Both patients were in critical condition and money was being spent like water. Without money to support themselves, there was no hope of survival at all.
The couple in the intensive care unit had just attended the funeral of the last elderly person in the family. The people who were called to the hospital were just distant relatives who had agreed to come to Lingcheng to work hard together many years ago. They couldn't make the decision on such a big matter, but they could keep the secret. Human life was at stake, so they naturally signed when they saw the pen in their hand.
After they signed the contract, Liu Meifen took out a bank card from her limited edition luxury bag and handed it to Wen Haifeng on the spot.
After paying the money and keeping the mouth shut, the matter was settled for Liu Meifen.
After leaving the hospital, she also called Wen Tang.
But she didn't expect that Wen Haifeng was a useless person. After taking the money, he didn't give it to the victim at all. He had more demands than Liu Meifen. He asked the victim to agree to a settlement and forgive Wen Anle to the greatest extent so that Wen Anle would not have to go to jail.
The person is still in intensive care, who would agree to this? Besides, he is just a distant relative, and he dare not take such a big responsibility.
On the one hand, Liu Meifen coaxed them into signing a confidentiality agreement, but on the other hand, Wen Haifeng was aggressive and treated human life as a joke.
There is no way to get treatment without money. Everyone has a temper and no one cares about the shitty contract they signed. Wen Haifeng left in a haughty manner, and then the two relatives decided to leak the matter to the media through their friends.
