"He didn't directly address the issue of being forced, only saying that he had someone else he liked, and that because he wasn't a big star, he couldn't directly refuse. Then, his so-called girlfriend made some sarcastic remarks on her account, leading netizens to mistakenly believe that Xinghe had forcibly taken the man from the public."
"Such a low-level tactic can make things so difficult for you?"
Faced with Song Xia's sneer, Xie Dong awkwardly explained, "It's not because you're Xinghe's mother, and because of your behavior over the years, that gives marketing accounts a reason to mislead netizens into thinking that Xinghe is also..."
"It's useless, no matter how much you explain it, it's still useless."
Xie Dong got angry: "Then what do you suggest we do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it. How could he have dared to say such a thing to Senior Song? Did he have a death wish?
Song Xia slowly took out her phone, her eyes slightly lowered: "Wait."
The two watched as she fiddled with her phone for a while, then tossed it aside. When she finally came to her senses, she eagerly went online, and before she could even check, a series of messages popped up.
After all, Song Xinghe is now considered a strong contender among the new generation of actresses, with a very high level of popularity, while Song Xia is a multi-time winner of Best Actress awards at film festivals twenty years ago. Therefore, any news about them quickly becomes a trending topic on social media.
Song Xia's account was registered by her agency many years ago. After the contract was terminated, the account returned to her own hands. Over the years, she only logs in occasionally to post daily life updates. The comments and reposts are all from old fans from many years ago. She is old, and her fans are old too. They don't like to do data analysis or anything like that, so it looks very bleak.
It was because of the exposure of her mother-daughter relationship with Song Xinghe a couple of years ago that she gained some attention from Song Xinghe's fans and haters, which is why it was reposted so quickly this time.
The two of them were stunned when they saw her latest post. Despite the huge commotion it caused, they did nothing but tag Song Xinghe and say, "You have terrible taste."
Xie Dong didn't even dare to look at the comments. Wasn't this just causing trouble? Wouldn't this make everyone's impression of Song Xinghe even worse? Wouldn't it confirm that Xinghe had designs on that young male star?
Xie Dong was extremely anxious: "Senior Song, how could you do such a thing?"
Song Xia snorted: "Take a look at the comments first. If there are a lot of negative comments, can't you guide the discussion? Song Xinghe, go to your own account now and clarify that he's not your type, say something like 'I'm sorry for making this a laughing stock of you.'"
"Oh." Song Xinghe looked a little dazed, and then replied to the Weibo post where he was tagged as instructed by Song Xia.
Xie Dong was also busy reading the comments and found that no one was criticizing Song Xinghe. Instead, they were laughing and commenting that the young male star was indeed not very good, not even half as good as the men Song Xia had dated before.
"How is this possible? It was clearly before..."
"So all the comments before were negative?" Song Xia sneered. "They were just deliberately misled by someone who paid money. But now, most of the people who are paying attention to our updates and commenting are real fans who won't say anything mean. Now you just need to contact the company's PR department and shift the focus to how bad that young male star is. Let netizens mock him for what kind of person he is, daring to deliberately smear and ride on my daughter's popularity."
Song Xinghe was taken aback when she heard this. Was her mother defending her?
What a strange feeling! My mom no longer objects to me becoming an actress?
As it turns out, experience is the best teacher; some people have to resort to unconventional methods to clear their names.
The young male star said that Song Xinghe had ulterior motives towards him, and Song Xia simply mocked him for his average looks and physique. When Song Xinghe responded that he wasn't his type, everyone found it believable.
Because all the men Song Xia has dated over the years have been stunningly handsome, although her private life is often criticized for being immoral, a considerable number of netizens still envy her. After all, changing boyfriends so frequently is the life they dream of, isn't it?
They're already so rich and good-looking, and they haven't debuted in recent years. What's wrong with wanting to live a happy life?
Given the mother's high standards, it's unreasonable for her daughter to have poor taste. The mother's teasing of her daughter actually made netizens feel that she was down-to-earth, thus transforming Song Xinghe's image from the daughter of a controversial actress to a girl next door who playfully bickers with her mother, making her much more vivid in the eyes of netizens.
Astute fans quickly took to the comments section and even dug up photos of Song Xia's ex-boyfriends from earlier and more recent years.
Since Song Xia became famous, her love life has been a hot topic among netizens. At that time, online media was not very developed, but there were two people who were well-known to everyone, and both of them were popular male stars at the time. One was a movie star actor who had worked with her, and the other was a male singer known as a king. It can be said that the two of them were the pinnacle of male stars.
After retiring from acting and giving birth to Song Xinghe, she left the entertainment industry. However, due to her past popularity, paparazzi occasionally followed her. Although none of her boyfriends over the years were particularly famous, they were all young men, and all of them were fit and handsome young men over 1.8 meters tall, which shows her consistent taste.
When these materials were released, netizens were shocked and marveled at the incredible life she had been living since leaving the entertainment industry.
[I now believe Song Xinghe's rumors are false. With such high standards, how could her daughter possibly fall for someone like that?]
[She wasn't that much taller than Song Xinghe when they stood together, was she even 1.7 meters tall?]
[Actually, upon closer inspection, those photos are all taken from a misaligned perspective and are completely unreliable. Isn't it perfectly normal that they colluded with that so-called girlfriend who was asking everyone to uphold justice to ride on Song Xinghe's popularity?]
[I envy no one but Song Xia, the actress who won the Best Actress award. She's a role model for us all. She focused on her career when it was time to pursue it, had children when it was time to have them, and then retired from the entertainment industry to enjoy life after earning enough money to live a lavish lifestyle. God, can I have a few days like that?]
Can I say that Song Hye-kyo's taste is exactly my type? I'm so tired of the skinny, pale girls in the industry; my boyfriend needs to be a handsome young man over 1.8 meters tall who works out regularly.
[I can understand people losing weight for movie roles, but I really can't accept the others. Why aren't the kinds of people that Song Hye-kyo likes popular?]
[Where are they not popular anymore? Look at Zhong Yi and Guo Yi, one a film emperor and the other a superstar. Guo Yi even held a concert tour this year! Tickets were sold out.]
Perhaps Song Xia was really too popular before, or perhaps the netizens' mentality has changed significantly now. Everyone actually admires her lifestyle and has diverted all the attention from Song Xinghe's scandals to her.
This change not only dispelled the rumors, but also earned the mother and daughter a lot of goodwill from the public.
Xie Dong didn't even have time to marvel at how large Song Xia's fanbase was. He knew that competitors would definitely hire online trolls to join the fray, so he had to control this wave of whitewashing and traffic.
