#Popular young actor Jing Ling denounces media reports for falsehoods#
Jing Ling asked Yun Shu to post a Weibo post at around 10 o'clock the previous night, and the topic became a hot topic the next day. His fans are quite loyal, so the comments under his Weibo posts are okay, with fans helping to control the situation, but when you click into the topic, the popular comments are basically all sarcastic.
sweet: Celebrities have the nerve to accuse media reports of falsehoods. When they spend money to buy press releases to praise themselves to the sky and put others down, why don’t they say the reports are false?
Qiqiqiqiyue: I want to take advantage of the popularity of this kind of thing. I am so eager to become famous that my heart is about to jump out of the screen!
Little Rabbit: Doesn’t someone boast about being indifferent to fame and fortune and not competing with the world? It's amazing that his image has already started to collapse in less than a year!
Vivian: @sweet It has been a long time since some unscrupulous media have been shamelessly trying to attract attention. Why can't they be criticized? In the Hualian Plaza incident, the person holding the child was the father, but the news directly reported it as the mother, with a lot of people cursing the mother below. Although it was later clarified, I don’t know how many people have been misled. This society is not friendly to women, and these rubbish media have been smearing this group time and again. I don’t know what their intention is!
Toilet water is not water but soup: Since when did an 18th-tier internet celebrity become famous? I don’t seem to recognize the word “popular” anymore, haha.
Basically, every time there was a big fight between fans and haters on online forums, Jing Ling would be mocked as an 18th-tier internet celebrity. This was obviously not a good thing for a celebrity, but he couldn't refute it. Although the drama "Changle Song" that made him debut and became popular received good reviews online, it is essentially a web drama and his popularity is only reflected on the Internet. It sounds like a lot for a drama to have tens of millions of fans, but after that he neither appeared on variety shows nor accepted advertisements. Not only did he not hire internet trolls or issue press releases, he even wore a human skin mask when he went out. The entertainment paparazzi couldn't find anyone to help him increase his popularity. In this case, he is actually not much different from those big Vs with tens of millions of fans. He cannot be found outside the base camp.
With the hit movie "Lonely Island", as one of the main actors, he finally gained some popularity in real life and got out of the category of internet celebrity. It just so happened that the news about Hualian Plaza also came out at this time, and he happened to stand up, so it was inevitable that some people would make malicious speculations.
The several media outlets he targeted have always had a bad reputation in the industry, and they have done similar things to take advantage of others more than once or twice. After Jing Ling posted the news to several media outlets, Hualian Plaza officials also issued a statement, pointing out that it was the father, not the mother, who was holding the child at the time. Even so, several media outlets including Didu Weekend did not even apologize or delete their original Weibo posts and continued to report the latest news. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water".
It can be said that this incident had no impact on the media at all, but Jing Ling got into trouble.
Chen Ze had anticipated this situation, but he still did not stop Jing Ling from posting that Weibo post. Even he himself did not know why.
Probably sympathy.
Celebrities are different from ordinary people. In addition to a bright and beautiful face, they also need to have a good body, because filming is really hard. It is normal to wear short sleeves in winter and cotton-padded jackets in summer. A scene often has countless NGs for various reasons. If they encounter a slightly more difficult plot, it is not a big deal to be exhausted. In the early years when special effects were not well developed, those superstars who made a name for themselves were all covered in injuries.
However, now is different from the past. Every year, a large number of people enter this circle, but in the end, only a handful of them remain after the test of the times. Jing Ling took the first step by taking advantage of the right time, place and people. Although his exposure was not as good as others, he got a role from a big director, so he might take another route, maintaining one play or one movie a year, taking high-quality endorsements and going the boutique route.
But now he was seriously injured, both his arms were severely fractured, and his right arm was shattered. As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. An injury like his will require at least a year to recover. The audience is forgetful. If you are completely out of the public eye for a year, they will soon forget you. For many people, their star journey may end there. And even if the audience still remembers this person, the director may not dare to ask him to act, because his injuries are serious and he may not be able to recover as before, which is an unstable factor.
Chen Ze looked at Tan Yunshu who was guarding the bed. She had a pretty face and a graceful figure, and was also a top student at Imperial Capital University. She was actually quite a match for Jing Ling. It’s okay if I don’t become a star, I can have a good relationship, get married, and have children…
Jing Ling felt that there was something wrong with the way Chen Ze looked at him. How to describe it? It was like a parent looking at a child or an elder looking at a younger person, helpless yet tolerant... What the hell? ! He was shocked by the information he interpreted, and couldn't help but feel confused, "Aze, what are you thinking about?"
“Thinking about what your future child’s name will be…” Shen Ze replied subconsciously.
Jing Ling said speechlessly, "You really think too much!" He is still four years away from the legal age for marriage!
"And didn't you even strongly suggest that I keep my relationship private for the time being? Why are you suddenly moving on to big issues like getting married and having children?"
"Before, I was worried about the impact on your career."
"Are you not worried now?...Wait, you don't think I can't continue filming because of this minor injury?" Jing Ling immediately grasped the key point.
Shen Ze did not answer this question, but the look he gave him clearly meant this.
If his hands were not immobile, Jing Ling would have definitely responded with a gesture of holding his forehead, "Didn't I tell you before, this injury is really nothing, it will heal in two months at most. What, you don't believe it? Look at this bed board, can an ordinary person kick it like this? I know my own body best."
After he reminded them, the two of them remembered this matter. They had forgotten about it last night because they were distracted by what happened on Weibo. I didn't see him use much strength at the time, and he was lying down, but he just stomped his feet lightly, and the bed board made of welded iron frames became dented. An ordinary person really couldn't do that. Yunshu also recalled the phone call Jing Ling gave her on her birthday. Compared with the hail of bullets, a broken bone was really not a big deal.
Chen Ze and Yun Shu looked at each other, and then their eyes fell on Jing Ling, and they spoke almost at the same time.
"Jing Ling you bastard!"
"You bastard made me worry for nothing!"
Jing Ling: “…”
The atmosphere in the ward finally eased a lot. Yunshu raised a long-lost smile on his face and peeled an apple for Jing Ling. While Chen Ze returned to work, he did not forget to tease the two, "The current trend of "Lonely Island" is good. The industry predicts that the box office will eventually exceed 1 billion. You can be considered to have made your presence felt, and you will be able to receive more scripts in the future. Stick to the principle of "better to have nothing than to have something awful", and make one more movie or film this year. Keep it up like this, and after you build up your reputation, work hard to prepare for the three major film festivals. If you are lucky enough to win the Best Actor trophy, you can make your relationship public, and then get married naturally, so that you can have both career and family!"
Jing Ling rolled his eyes at him and Yun Shu gave him an apple core.
As for the Hualian Plaza incident, since there were no corresponding laws in the country, although Jing Ling was unwilling to accept it, he could do nothing about the media that fabricated false news. But his attitude is clear. As a public figure, he is influential after all. If he persists, more people will become aware of this issue and pay attention to it.
He thought that this was probably the end of the matter, but he didn't expect there would be any follow-up developments. In the afternoon, he was watching classic movies recommended by Shen Ze, killing time while learning how others acted. Halfway through the movie, the phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar number. After Yunshu answered the phone, he put it close to his ear. A man's voice came from the receiver. It was Xu Shaohuai who had seen through his disguise yesterday.
"I'm giving you a surprise. Remember to turn on the TV on time at seven o'clock."
He said this without any beginning or end, and then hung up the phone.
"Who is it?" Yun Shu asked casually.
Jing Ling repeated Xu Shaohuai's words. Yunshu and Chenze studied it for a while and both thought that this so-called surprise might refer to being on TV.
"Is it because of the heroic act?" Shen Ze guessed.
Jing Ling thought it was unlikely, because he had made it clear to Xu Shaohuai yesterday that he did not want the matter to be exposed, and the latter also agreed to handle the surveillance video for him.
"It should be the media reporting fake news. This phenomenon has been going on for a long time. Maybe I am lucky that the higher authorities are willing to rectify this issue."
"That's possible. But didn't the police officer say which station it was?" Chen Ze asked.
"No, just turn on the TV at 7 o'clock." Jing Ling shook his head.
"What's there at seven o'clock...wait, it can't be what I think???"
It turned out to be what Shen Ze had thought of, the TV program with the most viewers in the world, which was broadcasted on Channel 1 at 7 o'clock sharp and was forced to be broadcast by all TV stations in the country except for the pay channels!
The news mentioned the accident that happened in Hualian Plaza yesterday, and played an 8-second surveillance video. The host pointed out that the person who bravely stepped forward to save others was the popular actor Jing Ling. He suffered severe fractures in both arms while trying to save others and is currently receiving treatment in the hospital. Finally, it was stated that today's society needs such idols with positive energy.
Shen Ze felt like he couldn't breathe any more, so he held his chest and asked the other two people in the ward, "Am I dreaming?"
In fact, it's not just him, many people think this way.
