Chapter 60: The End of the "Entertainment Industry Bad Artist Cleansing Plan"...
While waiting for the trial, "Wonderful Holiday" was temporarily suspended.
After Liu Shao learned about the situation, he thought that he had just enough time to invite Gao Shule to record an episode on his variety show "Cultural Sail".
At the right time, the production team prepared to move to a new location, and the next recording location was in Country T, which straddles two continents in Asia and Europe.
Because Gao Luo had said before that she wanted to be her audience, Gao Shule told her about it and asked her if she wanted to go with them.
Of course Gao Luo has to go. She changed back into Xie Ran's appearance and went along, treating it as a vacation.
They arrived a week earlier and stayed in a small town that looked like a "forest of stone pillars".
The theme of this issue of cultural promotion is opera, and the performance selected is a very classic "Butterfly Lovers" which has had a wide impact around the world. Gao Shule needs to rehearse with other opera actors in advance.
The official recording day was held in an open-air government theater. Because it was a cultural exchange program, many local people were invited to watch it. We also invited international students and overseas Chinese who had settled in Country T or were studying here.
Gao Shule had never been on such a big stage before, so she was inevitably nervous before the performance. Fortunately, she was not performing alone, so she and the other actors encouraged each other, and Xie Ran was sitting in the audience applauding her, so her nervousness gradually eased.
At the end of the performance, local overseas Chinese presented them with flowers. Xie Ran also sent flowers and a red envelope. She gave red envelopes to every opera actor who performed on stage, because she had seen the troupe give tips from the audience after the performance.
In addition to the red envelope, Xie Ran gave her a gold bracelet, saying that it was a special gift for her to show his special recognition of her.
After finishing work, Gao Shule stayed here with Xie Ran for a few more days. They watched the sunrise on a hot air balloon, chased the sunset in an antique car, and watched the lights of the town light up when night fell.
After trying out all the interesting tourist projects, I finally settled down and returned home.
Every day during my time abroad was very fulfilling. I worked and had fun at the same time. Away from the chaotic environment on the Internet, I felt particularly happy.
After returning home and opening the social media platform, all kinds of explosive information popped up, and they suddenly discovered that there were new developments in the case.
On the tenth day after the case was transferred from the public security organ to the procuratorate, the procuratorate filed a public prosecution. The court accepted the case and set the trial date for half a month later.
During the past half month, Shen Siyan took the initiative to confess her crimes to the judicial authorities.
Before she turned herself in, she first hit back at Sun Xu on Weibo. By making public the money and other benefits he had obtained from himself during this period, he exposed the fact that he was unwilling to sacrifice his own interests for Yao Cancan and revealed his selfish and ungrateful nature.
Then he played the recording of his collaboration with Wen Cheng, explaining that he was tempted and had no choice but to make one mistake after another.
Finally, he wrote an apology blog of several thousand words, with regret and self-blame hidden between the lines. At the end, he stated that he had come to his senses and took the initiative to pay the price. The whole article is elegantly written and full of heartfelt emotions.
The first person to see her Weibo post was Feng Daiyue, because she had set Shen Siyan as a special follower and wanted to see what would happen to her this time.
Finally, God opened his eyes and she had waited for something! She just read the beginning and started laughing uncontrollably. Her mother thought she was crazy and wanted to call a driver to take her to the hospital. Fortunately, Feng Daiyue showed her mobile phone to her mother in time.
Her family members all knew about the dirty things Feng Daiyue had done in the entertainment industry, and they also knew that she had a conflict with a female artist online.
After reading the Weibo post, her mother shook her head and said, "Your entertainment industry is too dirty. How can a girl who looks like a decent person do this..."
She stopped talking halfway, after all, what her daughter did was not much better. Scolding Shen Siyan is like scolding Feng Daiyue.
Her mother brought up a new topic, saying, "The writing is quite good. The choice of words and sentences looks quite cultured."
This sentence reminded Feng Daiyue of what Lin Huiyu once said to her, saying that Shen Siyan was a talented and academically gifted girl, and she couldn't compare to her.
"Hmph! So what if she's a talented girl? She'll still end up going to jail!" Thinking of this, Feng Daiyue became happy again.
While she was gloating, she was also glad that she had reached a settlement with Xia Shi at that time. Although she had to quit the circle and lost her career, at least she could still go home and rely on her parents now, unlike Shen Siyan, who would have to go to jail in the future!
Shen Siyan's Weibo post covers too much content, and everyone who reads it will focus on different things. For example, Feng Daiyue's mother was concerned about Shen Siyan's literary talent; Feng Daiyue was concerned about the trial she was about to face.
Many netizens were shocked to find out that Wen Cheng was also involved.
[Is this true or false?] The source of the whole thing turned out to be in Wencheng? ? ? 】
[It's absolutely true. Shen Siyan has already surrendered herself to the police. There's no need to spread rumors and slander before going in, making herself more guilty. 】
[I listened to the recording, it was Wen Cheng's voice, and the call was recorded during the period when the second episode was filmed, which matched. 】
[The triple-Award winner turns out to be like this?] ? ? Word mom, why does this melon get more and more the more you eat it! If I had known it was so exciting, I would have watched it during the Chinese New Year. 】
[I hated him when I watched the first episode of the variety show. He acted so condescending from beginning to end, which annoyed me so much. But I couldn't say anything because his fans would scold me if I said anything. 】
[Isn’t it his and Jun’s own fault that he was rejected by the program team? What’s going on between Gao Shule and A’Luo? So dark and vicious. Does he really think he can dominate the circle by relying on his qualifications and awards? 】
[The competition system was thought up by the director. Why doesn’t he involve the director or the program team? Just take advantage of Gao Shule, this fool, to bully her. She bullies the weak and fears the strong. She is so mean! 】
[People always say that women are petty and gossipy, but I think men are the ones who are really petty! 】
[Not only is he narrow-minded, but he is also unscrupulous!] When he was not famous, he clung to a first-line female artist in the circle for resources, but no one knew about it. 】
[What, what about clinging to someone powerful? Which female artist? 】
[She played the leading female role in a criminal investigation film with female crime elements some time ago, which grossed 3 billion yuan at the box office. That’s all I can say. Otherwise, I’ll be sued if I reveal too much. 】
[Isn’t it that movie about the crow or something? I think I know who it is. 】
[Who is it? Who is it?] Is that Guan Liuliu? 】
[Oh shit, is this true?] ! 】
…
After Shen Siyan posted this Weibo, Wen Cheng became the focus of attention of the crowd. While everyone despised and criticized him, they also discussed his gossip. His rival took advantage of the situation and exposed the means he used to get to the top.
Everyone always pays special attention to romantic scandals, so it didn't take long for Wen Cheng and Guan Liuliu's relationship to be exposed.
Guan Liuliu has a rich love history. She has had many boyfriends and has been married twice. The relationship with Wen Cheng was the longest.
Because Guan Liuliu often introduced resources and connections to Wen Cheng and took him to various important occasions. Although they have never publicly admitted it, people in the circle can guess their relationship.
The reason why it could not be made public was that when the two were together, Guan Liuliu had not yet divorced. Her husband's business was abroad, and they only saw each other a few times a year. Later, when Guan Liuliu was pregnant and her husband found out, she divorced him and got together with Wen Cheng.
We were in a sweet relationship at that time, so we wanted to keep the child. But after the child was born, I actually regretted it a little. But since the baby was already born, she couldn't be put back, so she was thrown to Wen Cheng to raise.
Jun is the evidence of Guan Liuliu's extramarital affair. The entertainment industry has always been harsh on female stars. The lessons from the past are there. Several female celebrities have been criticized after cheating and have been invisible banned by the market. If everyone really knew about her relationship with Wen Cheng, her ending would not be good.
Her team discovered that Wen Cheng was actually involved in Shen Siyan's case, and the public had already figured it out and thought it was Guan Liuliu, so they immediately launched crisis public relations and deleted all related Weibo posts.
The action happened quickly, and the next day, Liu Liu's name was no longer mentioned in the square.
*
Gao Luo didn't pay attention to Guan Liuliu's matter. She was more curious about why Shen Siyan suddenly took the initiative to surrender.
She went to ask lawyer Deng Huamao if he had said anything to Shen Siyan’s lawyer that day.
Deng Huamao smiled and said, "I just discussed with her some basic qualities of a lawyer's profession, nothing else."
Gao Luo: “For example?”
"For example, remind her who she is defending."
Chi Lin's defense target is Yao Cancan, not Shen Siyan. Although Shen Siyan said that she would pay the lawyer fees, if Yao Cancan wanted to pay it herself, that was fine. After all, she had savings, which were her legal income and could be used normally.
Deng Huamao said: "If someone else planned this case, and Yao Cancan was just following orders and performing secondary tasks, then as an accomplice, her sentence will be relatively light."
“So…you asked the other lawyer to persuade Shen Siyan to surrender?”
Does it sound so outrageous? If Shen Siyan was willing to sacrifice herself for Yao Cancan, why didn't she do it at the beginning?
Deng Huamao shook his head. "It's up to them to decide what to do. I don't give any specific suggestions."
He spoke unclearly and Gao Luo seemed to understand him vaguely.
Gao Luo wanted to ask more, but Deng Huamao spoke first and asked, "Is this the result that Miss Gao wanted?"
Gao Luo thought about it and nodded.
Being able to have Shen Siyan punished was indeed the result she wanted.
"That's good, I can also report to General Gao." Deng Huamao said.
Gao Luo realized it later: "Did my dad make a request to you?"
Deng Huamao did not hide anything. “Well, Mr. Gao said that everyone involved must be punished by law.”
Gao Luo was curious: "If Yao Cancan is willing to take on all the responsibilities, then will my father's work be impossible to complete?"
There is no direct evidence that Shen Siyan was involved in this matter, because the only person who implemented the plan was Yao Cancan. If she was willing to sacrifice herself for Shen Siyan, then Shen Siyan could still escape sanctions.
Deng Huamao said confidently: "No. I have taken over so many cases, and every party will choose to maximize their personal interests. This is a game between human nature, and there are no exceptions."
"Even if Shen Siyan chooses to protect herself now, when the first-instance verdict comes out, Yao Cancan will know what kind of person she is helping to take the blame for. She will definitely appeal and expose Shen Siyan."
"Chen Siyan's reputation has been ruined and her social relationships have been broken. She must have been desperate to come to us to negotiate a settlement. Under such circumstances, the only thing she can save is her friendship with Yao Cancan. Turning herself in is her only option now."
Deng Huamao said this, looked at Gao Luo and said, "Even if we take a step back, Yao Cancan is a great saint who is willing to stick up for his friends. Don't we still have that video? If we hand it over, Shen Siyan won't be able to escape."
Gao Luo half opened her mouth but didn't respond.
Deng Huamao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We lawyers can do things for you that make the client feel embarrassed."
A very understanding tone.
*
After Gao Luo returned home, she called Gao Chengsheng to discuss the matter with him and asked him whether he had assigned a task to the lawyers to bring everyone to justice.
Gao Chengsheng was on a business trip and had just returned to the hotel after work. While changing his shoes, he said, "Otherwise, I don't know how long I'll have to wait for you to make a decision."
Gao Chengsheng originally didn't know that A'Luo's ankle was deliberately broken by someone. After the lawyer told him the results of the investigation, he had only one request: everyone must be punished.
Social death alone is far from enough. If the person is thick-skinned enough and has strong psychological endurance, it will not be considered a harm at all. After a long time, no one will pay attention to this matter and they can live their lives easily again. Only when they are locked up and actually experience a period of time in a harsh living environment, feeling the physical pain and mental torment, can it be called real punishment.
Due to sufficient evidence, all suspects had confessed their guilt and the facts were clear, the court directly pronounced the verdict in court at the first instance. The four people committed a joint crime and were sentenced to different terms of imprisonment or detention.
The public security organs shall promptly report the judgment results.
At this point, the case that was hotly discussed on the entire Internet finally came to an end, and Shen Siyan’s fans finally shut up.
Netizens joked that the variety show "Wonderful Holiday" might have quietly participated in a "cleaning up plan for bad artists in the entertainment industry", otherwise how could three artists have collapsed in just two or three months? And these were not ordinary collapses, but each one was a spectacular collapse.
While netizens were making jokes and memes, they did not forget to urge the program team to resume broadcasting as soon as possible.
In fact, after the first-instance judgment came out, the "Wonderful Holiday" program team has put the resumption of broadcasting on the schedule.
The position vacated by Shen Siyan was taken over by another female artist from the same company, Wu Han.
Wu Han is an actress who made her debut seven years ago with a low-budget youth campus movie, playing the leading role. Unfortunately, his debut was his peak, and the following films all flopped. It wasn't until she switched to the TV drama market that her career started to pick up steam again.
Her performance on the small screen is pretty good. She is not a huge star, but she has accumulated a group of young audiences of her own.
Originally, the company planned to let Shen Siyan replicate Wu Han's career path, starting with movies, and then seeing how things went, changing tracks in time if things didn't work out. Unexpectedly, she died before she could even get started.
Shen Siyan was equivalent to Wu Han's successor. Now that Shen Siyan has passed away, her resources have been taken over by Wu Han, including, of course, the movie with a strong production team.
At first, when Shen Cong saw Shen Siyan die, he felt sorry for her and felt that he had no hope of acting in this movie. Later, he heard a rumor that the female lead would be replaced by Wu Han, and his hope was rekindled.
Because they worked together five years ago.
The two haven't been in touch for a long time, so it would be a bit strange to ask her out now, but since they are about to appear on the same variety show, it's not particularly strange.
Wu Han has a high emotional intelligence and is the type of person that is comfortable to get along with. When Chen Cong asked her out, she agreed.
In a Japanese restaurant, Chen Cong started with a few pleasantries, reminiscing about the past with her, and then discussed the current status of the entertainment industry.
Wu Han knew why he asked her out, but she didn't rush to start a conversation. Instead, she listened to him slowly and started a discussion on the topic he started with.
After chatting for more than half an hour, he finally got to the point and asked her if she knew the movie.
Wu Han said frankly: "The company handed the script to me, and the other roles have not been confirmed yet."
Chen Cong asked nervously, "Has the casting director contacted other artists?"
"Yes." Wu Han told him directly: "The male lead had approached Wen Cheng before, and he had signed a letter of intent for cooperation. However, because he is now deeply involved in public opinion, the agreement has expired."
When Shen Cong heard the name, he couldn’t believe it: “You mean Wen Cheng?!”
Wu Han was a little surprised: "You don't know?"
She immediately thought of the recording that Shen Siyan had made public, which only talked about working with Wen Cheng, but did not mention the movie.
And Shen Cong also thought of this and confirmed with Wu Han: "So she agreed to his unreasonable cooperation request because she wanted to find Wen Cheng to play the male lead?"
"Yeah, you think otherwise."
Shen Cong felt like the sky was falling.
