Chapter 50: Fake Daughter in the Entertainment Industry
At noon, it is the time for office workers and students to have lunch and rest. Nowadays, almost everyone is addicted to mobile phones. No matter what they do, as long as they have free time, the first thing they do is to take out their mobile phones.
Weibo is the most widely used social media platform among young people. A few years ago, Weibo had 500 million registered users and nearly 50 million daily active users.
What does this mean?
This means that the speed at which information spreads will be beyond human imagination.
For example, now, Hu Yalan was horrified as she watched the number of comments and reposts on her mobile page increase exponentially, 100... 1,000... 10,000...
Hu Yalan's hands began to shake. Due to too many private messages, Weibo froze several times and then simply crashed.
She stared at her phone for a long time, then turned to look at her friend who was still in a state of dismay, and listened to her mumbling like crazy:
"Dad?? What the hell?! How old is Xie Yan, and he's already a dad?! Oh my God! Am I still sleepy? Yes, I must have been dazzled just now! What dad? He doesn't exist!"
After a long time of self-consolation, she started scratching her hair again, feeling like she was going to bang her head against the wall:
"Ahhhhhhh, how could this happen?! How is this possible?! How did such a grown-up girl suddenly appear?!"
Zheng Ying held Hu Yalan's shoulders with both hands and looked at her sharply:
"Lanlan, tell me, did I hear it wrong just now? You were calling me uncle, not dad, right?"
Hu Yalan remained silent, and Zheng Ying was about to cry:
"What should we do? Is this a scandal? If it gets out, will Xie Yan's career be ruined?"
Hu Yalan was frightened by these words. After hesitating for a while, she still spoke tremblingly:
"Ying..."
Zheng Ying was still immersed in the shock of discovering a big secret of her idol, and was still wondering whether she should inform the fan club to prepare? Or should she just pretend that she knew nothing?
Zheng Ying is an old fan of Xie Yan. She fell in love with him when he just debuted. Every time a movie is released, she tries her best to mobilize people around her to support him. She never misses any talk show and even joins the fan club. She can be regarded as a veteran among fans.
Although she was horrified when she suddenly discovered that her idol was not single and even had a daughter, she was still more of a career-focused fan, so she didn't have that feeling of "Oh, I've been cheated, my idol's reputation has collapsed, my idol is disqualified, I want to stop being a fan."
After all, Xie Yan has always been a talented actor, and the awards he won were all based on his acting skills, not his fans. He has almost never participated in variety shows, and his endorsements are few and fine. He does not rely on fans to make a living, and does not need fans to vote for him, support him, or boost sales.
Zheng Ying felt relieved when she thought about it. It was okay. It was no big deal. If they dared to bring their children out to play openly, they must not be afraid of being exposed.
She should tell the fan club as soon as possible, see what the company says, and then be prepared to control the comments when the news comes out.
Okay! Let’s do it! Zheng Ying picked up her phone and was about to find the fan group to send a message when her arm was grabbed by a trembling hand. She looked up and was startled:
"Lanlan, why is your face so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"
Hu Yalan forced out a smile that was uglier than crying:
"Ying, I'm sorry... I forgot that I set up the automatic upload function on my Weibo... The video... The video was uploaded... What should I do..."
The worst part is that she can't log into Weibo right now, so she can't delete it even if she wants to. And even if she deletes it now, it's probably already been saved by someone else.
Zheng Ying blinked, and then blinked again, and when she realized what it meant, she couldn't help but wail:
"It's over!"
The programmers at Weibo happened to think the same thing. It was over. They probably wouldn’t be able to get off work on time today.
They thought in a cheerful way:
"Fortunately it didn't explode in the middle of the night, so I didn't have to be pulled out of bed in the middle of the night to work overtime."
Thinking of this, my hands moved faster to repair the program.
Netizens who finally waited for Weibo to return to normal rushed to the front line of the melon-eating as if they were injected with chicken blood.
What? Taking a nap?
Why are you still sleeping when the melon is this big? Isn't the melon field fragrant? I can still endure it!
What? Work/school in the afternoon?
What does it matter? No matter how big the matter is, I have to wait until I finish eating the melon before I can talk about it!
The top three trending searches on Weibo are all related to Xie Yan:
#Thank you dad#
#Thank you for your daughter#
#Xie Yan Amusement Park#
It is followed by the word “爆” (explosion) which is red to black.
The first thing that appears when you click on the entry is Hu Yalan’s Weibo post which only has a video but no text.
The video was a little shaky at the beginning, and you could clearly hear people shouting "Xie Yan" all around. The person filming seemed to be trying to squeeze forward. Fortunately, she occupied a good position and successfully squeezed to the front row after two minutes.
Xie Yan's whole body finally appeared in the camera. He had one hand on the brim of his hat, his head lowered so that his expression could not be seen clearly. He kept shouting "Make way, please make way", and his tone sounded very anxious.
When fans saw this, they were about to repost and comment:
"You scared my brother! Be careful of your distance!"
Then the barrage was filled with the words "High Energy Ahead", forcing people to turn off the barrage. Who knew that the next scene made countless people say in unison at this moment:
“Oh my god!”
It seemed like there was a commotion among the fans in the back, and the person taking the photo subconsciously turned the camera, and saw a small pink figure struggling to squeeze out.
The little girl had a small braid and her hair was a little messy, but it did not reduce the beauty of her little face at all.
A face as delicate as that of a Barbie doll, with bright and watery eyes, and crystal clear tears like broken gems sliding down cheeks so tender that they seem like water can be squeezed out of them.
Everyone's heart ached when they saw it.
Then the next second, this beautiful, cute, and lovable baby rushed towards Xie Yan who had already discovered her. The mobile phone with good performance faithfully recorded the little girl's crying:
"Don't bully my dad!"
Then an even more incredible scene appeared. The handsome and cold man in everyone's impression, hugged the little girl in his arms with a gentle gesture that he had never shown before, and comforted her softly.
The person filming seemed to be shocked as well, and the camera began to shake again, but there was no more noise, and the crowd became strangely quiet. The only sound in the video was Xie Yan's clear and pleasant voice, which sounded like a cello.
Love, care, protection, and doting. All kinds of emotions were clearly displayed in front of the onlookers at the time and all the netizens who are watching the video now.
There were no more comments, and the onlookers fell silent.
Oh my god, what a magical father-daughter relationship!
After the silence came even greater craziness. When Xie Yan quickly disappeared from sight with the little girl in his arms, comments and comments exploded:
"What what? Dad? Is there something wrong with my ears?"
"No! How come my brother is already a father?!"
"How old is Xie Yan? 22? How old is that little girl? The youngest must be two or three years old, right? Does that mean Xie Yan gave birth to a child before she was twenty?"
"Is today April Fool's Day? I feel like the sky is falling..."
"Are you filming a movie? The daughter in the movie, right? It's impossible that such a big daughter would suddenly appear!"
"Upstairs, if we're filming, where's the cameraman? Where's the director? Where's the staff? Stop struggling, your brother is secretly married and has a child!"
"What are paparazzi for?! They already have a child, but you didn't even take a picture of them dating! Bad review! Must be bad review!"
“This should be @No.1 paparazzi awei, hehe.”
"Why blame the paparazzi? Didn't everyone say Xie Yan had a strong background? Even if they took the photo, would they dare to release it?"
"Haha, what a cool and handsome guy, a secretly married scumbag!"
"What do you mean by secret marriage? He just reached the legal age for marriage, right? It means he had a child out of wedlock, or he accidentally got pregnant while dating."
"Rival fans should stop trying to fish in troubled waters. We don't know what the situation is right now. Wait for the studio's response!"
"@Xie Yan@Xie Yan Studio, what's going on?"
"I don't care about Xie Yan, and it doesn't matter if she's secretly married or single. I only have one feeling... this little girl is so so so so cute!!!"
"Wow, finally someone who thinks the same as me? I didn't even dare to say anything during the fan fight in front. Is this really a real person? Is the doll a spirit?!"
"No filter, no beauty, such a weird angle, crying so miserably, and still so beautiful... Can I have a dozen daughters like this?"
"I'm not that greedy. I don't want so much. I just want this little baby..."
"Don't think about it. I'm telling you the truth! This child is born to Xie Yan and me. Xie Yan is my husband and this is my daughter!"
"Get lost, this is obviously my daughter!"
"Before today, I was a staunch DINK, and then I saw this video... Now I just want to say, baby, if it's you, I can do it!!"
"Why are there so many people trying to snatch my daughter from me? Take my daughter away, no questions asked."
"As expected, beautiful people have beautiful children too. I want to know which woman is so lucky to have such a handsome husband and such a beautiful daughter. Woohoo, did she save the entire space in her previous life?"
"I envy you... and shed tears of jealousy."
"I declare this to be the cutest baby in the entertainment industry! Once this baby comes out, no one will be able to compete with him!"
Marketing accounts swarmed in, and they published articles with all kinds of exaggerated titles, and even checked every female celebrity that Xie Yan had met in the past, and either explicitly or implicitly stated that she was the child's mother.
For a time, even people in the circle were paying attention to this event, which was considered the most explosive and unexpected event of the year.
Netizens are like wild animals in a melon field, happily jumping from one pit to another, and then from one celebrity's Weibo to another suspected target's Weibo, and they are very busy and happy.
Of course, the largest number of people gathered in Xie Yan's comment section. The number of comments on Xie Yan's latest Weibo post has exceeded 10 million.
Everyone is waiting for his news.
It was not until 1:10 p.m. that Xie Yan’s Weibo finally showed as online.
The author has something to say:
Sorry for the wait, see you tomorrow, darlings
It’s a bit troublesome not to pay attention to the entertainment industry. I don’t know how many comments I should write. I even searched Weibo and wanted to use someone or someone else as an example, but unfortunately I couldn’t find it (covering my face)
