Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Highest Point
The filming location of "In the Woods" was surrounded by crowds, and the media's frenzy made it difficult for the production team to cope.
"We can see many media people at the scene, but Jiang Yuxia still hasn't shown up."
"The security guards wouldn't let us in at all. We could only guard the perimeter. The only thing we knew for sure was that Jiang Yuxia was still inside."
"Jiang Yuxia's agent hasn't seen it yet, but Yu Chi, Qian Jingjing, and others' agents have rushed over. This is truly an unexpected disaster for the production team and other guests."
The video can be heard from everyone's discussion and the video shooter's introduction to the scene.
Zhou Boye watched the video and glanced at the microphones of the media personnel in the venue. Most of the microphones had logos on them. He said to Wei Zhuo, "Go count the media personnel in the venue and contact their companies directly."
Wei Zhuo followed his gaze and saw several media outlets he had worked with before. "Yes."
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Zhou Boye. As soon as his eyes were on him, he was noticed. Zhou Boye glanced at him lightly. Wei Zhuo was so scared that he immediately withdrew his gaze and walked out in a hurry.
After Wei Zhuo left, Zhou Boye continued working on the documents he hadn't finished. After a moment, he reached out, took his coat, and walked out, saying calmly, "Wei Zhuo, prepare a car to go to the airport and book the nearest flight."
Wei Zhuo was stunned and said quickly, "Yes." He didn't even need to ask the destination, it must be Jiang Yuxia.
Zhou Boye walked towards the parking lot, pressing his tongue against his teeth to suppress the irritation that was about to burst out.
Did Jiang Yuxia put a curse on him? He just couldn't let it go!
…
Meanwhile, due to the media surrounding the film, the production crew, concerned about safety, temporarily halted filming. Jiang Yuxia was also not allowed to speak to the media. With the public now so excited, no one would listen to what he said. Only by presenting them with irrefutable evidence would anyone listen.
But the incident happened suddenly, and we haven’t even figured out what the marketing account posted, let alone refute it.
Besides, it will take some time to collect evidence.
All in all, it is very troublesome, especially since this time it involves so many aspects.
There were even some people who didn't know the truth who gathered at the scene. The director team went out to take a look and saw some people holding objects and shouting that they wanted to settle the score with Jiang Yuxia.
The program crew has called the police, but as long as the media did not force their way in, it was just a routine work activity and there was no reason to arrest them.
Zhang Zizi glanced at Jiang Yuxia and said, "If they keep blocking the door, will we be unable to film the show? What a hassle! Why would we do this if we had known? It's not worth it."
Before Jiang Yuxia could say anything, Qian Jingjing spoke first, "Do you want to listen to what you're saying? If you were an online friend, I wouldn't say anything, but you know the truth, so why are you still talking nonsense?"
“…”
Yu Chi jokingly said, "I also joined this project later. Are you going to scold me too?"
Zhang Zizi: "That's not what I meant..."
Qian Jingjing sneered, without a trace of shame, "Heh, Yu Chi can't be scolded, but Jiang Yuxia is the newcomer so it's okay, right?"
"Fawn on the powerful and trample on the weak."
Zhang Zizi: "...I'm just speaking the truth."
She didn't dare to argue with Yan Jingjing, so she just swallowed her anger. It must be said that she was a leader in enduring humiliation and reading other people's expressions.
In the end, it was the staff of the program team who smoothed things over.
"None of us want to see this happen, but the program suspension won't last too long, at most one afternoon, and we promise not to waste anyone's time."
Jiang Yuxia's follow-up PD also said, "Don't blindly believe the rumors on the internet. I filmed this incident from beginning to end, and I can guarantee that it's not as bad as the online rumors say."
Just then, a staff member ran over and said with a happy face, "Good news, many of the media at the door have left!"
He had come all the way here running, taking a deep breath as he spoke. "I asked a close friend, and he said the company was pressuring them to withdraw and stop interfering in this matter."
"I don't know what happened, but it's a good thing they're gone."
The director team breathed a sigh of relief. "It's all right that they've left. The police will be here soon. Once we send the onlookers away, we can start filming as normal."
During this period, Song Mo had been very quiet, and only looked up slowly after hearing this.
Jiang Yuxia looked over, and their eyes happened to meet. Song Mo didn't avoid it, but his expressionless face curved slightly after meeting Jiang Yuxia.
After Jiang Yuxia saw this, he also curled his lips.
Song Mo's smile froze slightly. The two looked at each other for a moment. He looked away first. He could still smile now, which showed that he had a good mental state.
Outside the door, reporters and media had been waiting for a long time, and suddenly received news that they could not wait here. Who would be willing to sit in the sun for so long and then leave with nothing?
Some reluctantly packed up and left, not wanting to cause trouble. A few, more intelligent and fearless, immediately adjusted their course. They called to say they couldn't get stuck there, couldn't film Jiang Yuxia, but no one said they couldn't interview the fruit farmers.
The fruit farmers’ village is just below, and their faces are captured in the film, so it’s relatively easy to find them.
Once someone takes the lead, many media outlets will follow suit, regardless of the situation.
They first found the grandparents who had first received Jiang Yuxia. The grandparents were shocked to see so many people rushing over.
Grandma took her granddaughter back to the room. Grandpa took a puff of a pipe and wanted to hide, but then he thought that they seemed to have been on TV before, and now so many people came perhaps to promote the mangoes in their village.
Thinking of this, he stopped abruptly and smiled awkwardly at the cameras.
A reporter said, "Old man, please hide your cigarettes. We won't let you broadcast it on camera."
"Hey, hey, hey, okay, I'm sorry for the question." Grandpa covered his pipe with the bamboo basket on the table and apologized backwards in a mixture of local dialect and Mandarin.
"It's okay, Grandpa, we'll ask you a few questions, just answer them."
Grandpa: "That's a problem."
He was very nervous and was thinking about whether he should go into the house and change into something more fashionable. This tattered outfit might not look good on TV, but he was embarrassed to waste time.
They even set up equipment and started a live broadcast on the spot.
Reporter: "Old man, I want to ask you, how much does Jiang Yuxia charge per pound of your mangoes?"
"The big fruit is three pieces, the medium fruit..." Grandpa said truthfully.
Reporter: "Outside, especially in big supermarkets, mangoes sell for more than ten yuan per pound. Good quality mangoes can even sell for dozens of yuan per pound. Grandpa, don't you know?"
"Why sell it to Jiang Yuxia at such a low price?"
"Did he force you to sell it?"
The reporter's questions came one after another, becoming more and more sharp.
Grandpa was a little confused by the question, "Huh?"
After watching the live broadcast, Jiang Yuxia found that almost all the reporters who retreated here went to the village. They looked at the camera at a loss and even couldn't understand what the reporters were asking.
"grass."
Jiang Yuxia took a mask and walked out.
He didn't go through the main gate, but walked inside from the forest hut. There was a small path leading to the village. Although the program team set up a cordon, the cordon could not stop people at all.
When he arrived, the outside of the house was full of cameras and live broadcast equipment. Grandma and the girl stood at the window, leaning on the window to look out. Grandpa was surrounded in the middle, and was dizzy from being asked countless questions. He just stood there, rubbing his left hand with his right hand, and then his right hand with his left hand. His bronze skin could be seen to have turned a little red.
Jiang Yuxia climbed over the fence and stood in front of Grandpa. When Grandpa saw him, he felt like he had found his backbone. "Xiaoxia, you're here."
Jiang Yuxia nodded and said slowly, "Grandpa, they want to do an interview. You should go back to the house first."
"Hey, okay, I just said a few words, I don't know if it will cause you any trouble."
The only way they received information from the outside world was through television, so they had no idea what was happening on the Internet. They just thought it was just a normal filming like before.
"Jiang Yuxia is here! That's Jiang Yuxia."
"Jiang Yuxia, I have a few questions I want to ask you. Can you give us some time?"
"Fuck, the liar dares to show up!"
"How dare he come to the village? Isn't he afraid that the villagers will beat him up? He's so shameless."
Jiang Yuxia originally wanted to protect his grandfather into the house first, but as soon as he appeared, chaos broke out below. Cameras were crackling and flashes were like lightning that "sweeps away evil". Exposing him was to uphold justice.
Grandpa was dazed and couldn't open his eyes. Jiang Yuxia took off his coat and gently covered his head with it. "Grandpa, please go back to the house first."
He thought about it, took off his mask, and walked two steps in the other direction so that the flash would not reach his grandfather.
"Jiang Yuxia, is it true that people online say you bought mangoes to build up your image?"
"Are you really going to buy mangoes that farmers rely on for their livelihood at a low price just to win an insignificant competition?"
Jiang Yuxia stood there, looking at the many people watching him with cameras. So this is what it feels like to face malice head-on.
Sun Quan told him not to make any response, because he was afraid that there would be loopholes in what he said and it would be difficult to explain it later.
He originally thought that as long as he explained the matter clearly, everything would be fine.
But he suddenly realized that the truth was no longer important at this time. What was important was this criticism from a moral high ground. The Internet provided a venue, and everyone became a high-ranking judge, holding power and turning the keyboard into a butcher knife, allowing them to slaughter others at will.
Jiang Yuxia suddenly thought of the saying: The person who wronged you knows how wronged you are far better than you do.
Some people who were blocking the gate also heard the news and rushed over from that side.
They were different from the media. They were all filled with righteous indignation. One of them was so radical that he smashed the mineral water bottle in his hand directly at it. There was still water in the bottle, which was thrown high into the air.
"Jiang Yuxia, go to hell!"
Things happened in a flash, and many people had no time to react.
But the atmosphere below suddenly became boiling.
"What the hell?! Isn't that Zhou Boye?"
