"Gu Yu! What's going on with you? I was only gone for a day! Just one day! What are you doing?" Cheng Yuan was furious, practically bursting with rage. She'd only been away from her artist for a day, and this huge scandal had erupted!
"Sister Cheng, you know best those gossip and entertainment figures. You don't need to worry about this for now, just leave it alone." Gu Yu was in the living room at the time, with the entertainment gossip daily newspaper on the table, the front page headline of which was the so-called "scandal".
"Leave it there? Look at the mess your fans are making on your Weibo! Tell me, why don't you clarify?" Cheng Yuan took a deep breath and tried to ask calmly. After gossip news, it's a normal procedure for celebrities to clarify rumors.
"Sister Cheng, you just need to believe me." Gu Yu picked up the photo frame on the table. The photo inside reminded him of something, and he suddenly let out a cold laugh. He actually hoped that the rumor was true.
“You…” Cheng Yuan sighed. In the end, the decision between the two of them ultimately rested with Gu Yu, and she couldn’t control it: “I hope you are really prepared.”
"Okay, it's nothing. I'm hanging up now."
"Wait a minute!" Cheng Yuan paused for a moment: "Don't take those fans' words to heart."
Gu Yu turned off her phone screen, took out a piece of fruit candy from her pocket, and put it in her mouth.
Sweet...
at the same time.
Big Big Agent: Chu, is this you?
Big Big Agent: [Screenshot]
Newcomer: Hmm? It's me, what's up?
Looking at the picture on the screen, Ye Chu recalled her position that day; the shooting angle should have been slightly to the right of the crowd.
And... from this angle, the two of them look... excessively intimate?
First impressions: How did you get this photo?
A gossip columnist, "Big Big Agent," posted a news story about Actor Gu on Weibo, which even made the front page of the Entertainment Gossip Daily. However, the person in question hasn't come out to explain... Weibo is now in complete chaos.
Newcomer: ...I'll go ask.
Ye Chu bit her lip and opened Gu Yu's WeChat chat window.
"Is Actor Gu here?"
"Um?"
"Um, I saw the report. Sister Ji told me that your official channels haven't clarified anything yet, so I was wondering if I should issue a clarification first? I'm sorry if this has put you in a difficult position."
"Need not."
Ye Chu was taken aback. No need for clarification? Did the team no longer care about the movie star's innocence?
"Uh? You don't need to? But that might have a bad influence..."
"This kind of news has no evidence; it's just based on pictures and stories. We don't need to pay attention to it. Besides, the program will be broadcast soon. Aren't you infiltrating? Perfect."
After sending out a long string of words, Gu Yu felt her previously gloomy mood suddenly brighten up. Perhaps it was the effect of the fruit candy in her mouth? Sweets really can make people happy.
Besides the two main figures in the photo, several other celebrities, including Michael, who also participated in the variety show, were also paying attention to this report.
After filming two episodes, the five of them got to know each other well and formed a small group chat.
Michael: @Ye Chu, Sister Chu, are you alright? Has Actor Gu contacted you to explain? Do you need us to help you issue a statement?
Ye Chu: I'm fine, but it seems that Gu Yingdi isn't planning to explain.
Wan Chen: I didn't expect such a third-rate paparazzi to infiltrate.
Qian Yiyi: Gu Yingdi's side hasn't issued a clarification statement? Is there really no problem?
Michael: Why aren't Gu Yingdi and the others clarifying this? I saw on his Weibo that his fans are already...
Zhang Zesheng: Actually, clarifying this matter would have a significant impact on us, and Gu Yingdi's team must be in a difficult position as well.
Michael: What do you mean?
Wan Chen: The content of the variety show may be leaked in advance.
Ye Chu: ...Sorry, everyone.
Zhang Zesheng: Chu Chu, don't rush to take the blame. This isn't your fault. You see, Gu Yingdi's team chose not to clarify, so the variety show shouldn't be affected.
Ye Chu: I always feel like I'm letting down Actor Gu...
Zhang Zesheng: Yes, but the most typical characteristic of the entertainment industry is that people forget things easily, right? After a short while, the fans' anger will subside, and once the variety show airs, the rumors will be disproven, and the fans will probably come back.
Wan Chen: But I don't understand why Gu Yingdi's team would choose Plan B, since they would suffer even greater losses that way.
Qian Yiyi: I remember that Gu Yingdi and our director seem to have a relationship?
Michael: I understand! Actor Gu is giving the director face.
Silently leaving the group chat, Ye Chu looked at Gu Yu's message, which was pinned to the top of her message list. The four people's analysis and explanations at the beginning were all reasonable, but Ye Chu didn't quite agree with Qian Yiyi and Michael's explanation of their relationship and giving the director face.
After all, if Gu Yu has a relationship with the director, the best option would be for both parties to negotiate and clarify the situation together.
The press release is ready, so the variety show won't be greatly affected. In fact, this will not only provide free publicity but also boost viewership among the actor's fans.
The terms "connections" and "saving face" carry somewhat unseemly connotations in the entertainment industry, so the relationship between Gu Yingdi and Wang Zhongbao is definitely not based on connections or saving face.
What else could it be? What made Gu Yu and the others choose Plan B, and accept the mudslinging and infamy for a period of time?
Ye Chu told Chang Ji all her questions, and after a while, the system showed that it was typing, Ye Chu finally received the message.
Big Big Agent: Please calm down. There are some things involved here that I can't explain to you in a short time, but in short, Chu Chu, believe in your idol and believe in our professional abilities as your agents.
