At six o'clock in the evening, Wang Xingrui, wearing a disguise, walked into a shopping mall with a lot of traffic.
She sat at the dining table, scrolling through her phone screen with a bit of boredom.
The woman sitting opposite her took off her sunglasses, revealing her beautiful face.
Chu Tianjiao chuckled: "Why do you seem to be in a bad mood today? Are you staying at home and having a conflict with your family?"
Wang Xingrui smiled and shook her head: "What are you thinking about? I'm not a child anymore. I just saw the news and found it quite interesting."
"News..." Chu Tianjiao paused, said "Oh", and smiled: "I see, you are talking about the movie box office. Right?"
"That's right." Wang Xingrui nodded. "I thought this matter would have come to an end after the widespread exposure of the box office theft and the ghost theater incidents of "Whale Sea Chronicle."
"Who would have thought that the producers of 'Whale Sea Chronicle' seemed to pay no attention to public opinion and were actually taking more and more actions."
"What's wrong with them?" As an employee of Yiyang Entertainment, Chu Tianjiao naturally sided with "The Lotus Lantern." After hearing what Wang Xingrui said, an unhappy expression immediately appeared on her face.
"They," Wang Xingrui raised an eyebrow, "actually sent out a lawyer's letter, saying they would sue all the self-media outlets that spread rumors about their ghost market."
"Pfft!" Chu Tianjiao immediately laughed: "You can't hold it in so soon? Finally, we're almost at the point of getting a lawyer's letter of warning. But I remember those were all videos, right? They were obviously real, how dare they say they were fabricated?"
"You must have spent a lot of money. I saw that many Weibo posts were deleted. The posts you discussed on Huaban were also deleted in seconds. Even the ranking of trending searches has been continuously declining."
Wang Xingrui shook her head. "I can only say that they really wanted to restore their reputation through such a cover-up, unpresentable method. But now it seems that their hopes are dashed."
She curled her lips and handed her cell phone to Chu Tianjiao.
Chu Tianjiao didn't understand why Wang Xingrui's expression changed so much after she glanced at her phone.
But when she took the phone herself, Chu Tianjiao understood everything.
Wang Xingrui raised her head and glanced at the retro wall clock in the middle of the restaurant. The hands had quietly reached half past six.
This is the most lively and exciting time of the day.
Students were going home from school, workers were on their way to the subway, and restaurants were packed with diners.
Everyone spontaneously took out their phones, intending to use their free time to read some gossip.
When they took out their phones, they received a push notification.
#The Ten Sins of "Whale Sea Chronicles"! #
This title is very attractive. Even people who are not interested in the entertainment industry will click on it to take a look.
When they opened Weibo, they clearly felt that the entire software had become slow.
Since there is no problem with their network, it only means that there are too many people watching the show, causing Weibo to be unable to run smoothly.
And behind this horrifying hot search, there is a deep red word "explosion".
"Who sent this?"
Chu Tianjiao was so surprised that she clicked on the trending search and found that the person who broke the news was a reporter with a good reputation.
"Is he that powerful? How come he has so many inside stories?"
When Chu Tianjiao saw the pictures and text attached to this Weibo post, she felt goosebumps all over her body.
These people are too strong.
"It doesn't matter whether this person is powerful or not." If it were in the past, Wang Xingrui might have needed Su Yin's reminder to think so much. But now, she has been in the entertainment industry for a few years, and her sense of smell has become sharper:
"What's important is that the person who provided him with this information is very powerful."
At this time, Chu Tianjiao said "oh" and reacted.
"Mr. Zhou did it?"
Wang Xingrui smiled and said, "I can't imagine who else but Mr. Zhou could have gotten so much inside information in just half a day, and kept the investors behind Whale Sea Chronicle completely unaware."
"Too strong!" Chu Tianjiao opened her eyes wide, full of admiration for Zhou Yiyang: "Boss Zhou really cares about his artists and team! If it were some boss with less powerful backing, they would probably just have to swallow their anger. But Boss Zhou still stepped forward."
"Brother Yang is like this," Wang Xingrui smiled. "Generally speaking, if you don't provoke him, he'll definitely turn a blind eye. But who would have thought that some people would actually go so far as to bully him? Today I saw the trending searches and all those reviews that smeared 'The Lotus Lantern' made me angry, let alone Brother Yang!"
"That's true," Chu Tianjiao hummed in understanding. "Brother Yang has the resources and connections anyway, so he's not afraid! I guess everyone in Whale Sea Chronicle is stunned right now. They didn't expect they'd hit such a wall!"
…
"Come and eat quickly!"
When Ye Kongjing walked out of the kitchen, he saw Su Yin sitting on the sofa and laughing foolishly.
She shook her head helplessly, then sat next to Su Yin.
"See you sitting here alone and grinning like an idiot, did you see something interesting?"
Su Yin, who was standing by, hummed, picked up the phone, and said to her mother excitedly:
"Of course! Mom, look at the trending searches. All the shit about 'Whale Sea Chronicle' has been exposed. It turns out they not only stole the box office, but they even colluded with the theaters to suppress other movies. If our 'Lotus Lantern' wasn't of such high quality and had so many fans, maybe 'Whale Sea Chronicle' would have really become a hit thanks to their connections!"
Ye Kongjing was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that so many things would happen just because she went to cook a meal.
She picked up her phone, took a look at the message, and her expression gradually became surprised.
"This person has exposed so much, isn't he afraid of being hunted down?"
Ye Kongjing joked.
Su Yin, who was sitting next to him, whistled immediately. "Mom, this must have been done by Brother Yang! Otherwise, why would this Weibo post and this trending search have been hanging around for so long without any sign of dropping? I'm afraid the people over at Whale Sea Chronicle must be freaked out by now."
…
In the office building, the man who was so secretive finally stopped being so reserved.
He roared in the office, looking like a mad dog that had lost its mind.
"How could this happen! How is this possible! Didn't I tell you to take the trending search down, no matter how much money you get? And that Weibo guy, come over here and I'll talk to his boss!"
"Sorry, boss, they said on Weibo... Zhou Yiyang won't allow it."
