Chapter 11
In the video, Chenglicheng kept making NGs, which was very unprofessional.
It was the scene from her first day of filming.
Jiang Wantong's fans used the video as evidence, saying that Cheng Cheng's poor acting skills were a burden to the crew, and that such a person was not worthy of playing the second female lead.
Looking at the timeline again, he had mediocre resources for three years after his debut, so why did he get such good jobs as soon as he entered the industry? He must have found a wealthy sponsor.
Fans spread such remarks everywhere, and entertainment marketing accounts also joined in, forwarding the video and deliberately guiding public opinion.
In this case, passers-by can easily be led by marketing accounts and have a preconceived negative impression of Cheng Cheng.
The situation is very unfavorable for Cheng Cheng.
The other side came prepared. It can be seen from the marketing accounts that it was the company that took action, and it was definitely not just a small fight by fans.
Cheng Cheng's company originally wanted to issue a public relations statement, but once the video came out, the statement felt bland, and suing the black market was too time-consuming and laborious, so they finally decided to handle the matter coldly.
Cheng Cheng felt a little aggrieved.
Su Qing comforted her: "Our company is small, unlike the other party who has a strong legal team. If we really go toe to toe with them, you will be the one who suffers in the end."
Cheng Cheng was silent for a long time: "I understand the truth, but——"
Su Qing interrupted: "No buts, things change over time. Remember, only fire can protect you from being bullied."
"Besides, this isn't any substantial negative information. Netizens are quick to forget these days and will forget about it in a week at most. It won't have any impact."
Cheng Cheng: “…”

In the past, Cheng Cheng was concerned that Jiang Wantong was the heroine, so he was very tolerant towards her, but now he doesn't pretend anymore.
One morning, there were scenes with Qingyao and Yueli again.
During the break, Jiang Wantong saw that her assistant was not around and Cheng Cheng was resting nearby, so she naturally ordered Cheng Cheng: "Hey, bring me that cup of coffee."
Today, in order to reward everyone for their hard work in filming in the summer, the director ordered iced American coffee for all the main actors and placed it on a shelf nearby.
Cheng Cheng was dozing off when he heard Jiang Wantong talking. He glanced at her, then stood up in a daze and walked towards the shelf.
Seeing Cheng Cheng being so obedient, Jiang Wantong smiled proudly.
If I had known she was so spineless, I should have given her a warning earlier, Jiang Wantong thought.
Cheng Cheng picked up an unopened glass of iced American coffee and put in a straw as he walked.
Jiang Wantong proudly stretched out her hand, looked down at her, and waited for her to hand the iced American coffee to her.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Cheng turned around, sat down and started drinking.
He took a sip and smacked his lips, smiling contentedly.
Jiang Wantong was so angry that her teeth were chattering.
Tong Ziqian's relationship with Cheng Cheng, which had almost been repaired, was now in jeopardy.
The reason is also related to Jiang Wantong.
What a coincidence.
Tong Ziqian originally wanted to use Cheng Cheng's popularity to hype up their sisterhood and share some of Cheng Cheng's popularity.
But after posting a photo with Cheng Cheng one second, the next second there was news that "Cheng Cheng formed a small group in the crew to isolate the heroine."
The photo she just released also became one of the "hard evidence".
She was implicated and became a member of the bullying squad.
Tong Ziqian's idea was very simple. She immediately cut ties with Cheng Cheng and posted a new photo.
A laughing photo with Jiang Wantong, with the caption: Zi Yan and Yue Li are good friends forever [laughing] [love]
Unfortunately, it was useless for her to slide on her knees. Jiang Wantong's fans didn't buy it, and she lost both the wife and the army.
He has been listless on the set these days and often takes his anger out on his assistant.

When Cheng Cheng went to the restroom, he could hear the staff gossiping about him.
A young voice said, "Hey, have you read the news online? Does Cheng Cheng have any backers?"
Another more mature voice said, "Of course there is. I think it's our director."
The young voice was very surprised: "Huh? How did you know?"
A mature voice said mysteriously, "Shh—I've been observing for a long time. Our director is very polite to Cheng Cheng and never gets angry. Haven't you noticed? Even on her first day on set, when she had to do more than a dozen NGs, she didn't curse. She's like a living Buddha possessed."
Cheng Cheng, who was sandwiched in the middle pit and listening to the left and right stereo sound, said: "......." Sister, what's the point of your shushing? Anyone who is not deaf can hear it.
The young voice was silent for a few seconds, as if convinced: "...Indeed."
"But..." she retorted weakly, "Director Miao is so old and has a scruffy beard, I still don't think it's necessary. Cheng Cheng seems to have good taste, he's not that hungry and indiscriminate..."
Cheng Cheng's eyes welled up with tears when she heard this. She wanted to rush out and shake her hand: Sister!!! You understand me!!!
However, the man changed the subject: "She must have another financial sponsor. Director Miao might be doing this for that person's sake."
Cheng Cheng: ...
"Unlikely," a mature voice retorted, "Cheng Cheng probably doesn't have a strong backing, otherwise Jiang Wantong's team wouldn't dare to act so recklessly. Besides, you can see how mediocre her treatment is on our crew."
Cheng Cheng just listened to the two of them talking back and forth, and his legs became numb from squatting.
Finally, the two of them said they had had a great time, and they washed their hands and left.
Cheng Cheng was left in deep thought.
She wasn't angry about being talked about behind her back, but one person's words reminded her.
It seems like the director really takes special care of me?
She remembered that she had repeated NGs on the first day of filming, but Miao Hongzhi did not get angry. At that time, she was not familiar with Miao Hongzhi and just thought that the director had a good temper.
However, after filming for several months, she realized that Miao Hongzhi was not a good-tempered person. She was very strict with the progress of filming. Anyone who slowed down the progress would be scolded by her, and even Jiang Wantong was no exception.
Did the company really help me get the role of the second female lead? Cheng Cheng, who had always believed it, began to doubt it for the first time.
Through this large-scale hacking, Cheng Cheng once again realized the company's strength. Besides, even if the company could use its connections to help her get the role of the second female lead, Miao Hongzhi treated her differently from how he treated Tong Ziqian.
They are from the same company, and Tong Ziqian is even more favored by the top management. Why am I the only one who is being taken care of?
Full of confusion, Cheng Cheng wanted to stand up, only to find that his legs were numb from squatting.
After finally standing up from the cubicle, I pushed the door open—
Hey, why can’t I push it open?
I pushed hard, but it still wouldn't open.
"Is there anyone outside? Please help open the door, it won't open!" Cheng Cheng shouted.
No one answered the door.
Fortunately, she brought her cell phone, and Xiao Xia and the maintenance personnel arrived in time.
When Cheng Cheng was rescued from the toilet, he saw the sign hanging on the door handle that said "Damaged, Do Not Use".
Cheng Cheng: ...No wonder the two girls spoke so brazenly just now, it turns out they were sure that there was no one here.
Because the maintenance personnel were alarmed, the embarrassing incident of Cheng Cheng being locked in the toilet soon spread throughout the crew.
Zhang Weizhi even joked to Cheng Cheng when he saw her: "Don't forget to bring your phone when you go to the restroom next time. After all, I'm in the men's restroom, and I can't help you no matter how loud you scream."
Cheng Cheng kicked him in the air and yelled, "Get lost!"
The two have become familiar with each other and often joke with each other on the set.
A week passed quickly, and the sensational scandal gradually subsided on the Internet.
In this incident, in addition to gaining a group of "black fans", Cheng Cheng also gained many more die-hard fans who were abused and fell into the trap.
It was a blessing in disguise, even though she didn't want it.
"Nine Heavens and Mysterious Moon" is also about to be completed.
When Cheng Cheng was being scolded the most harshly, Zhou Yue was on a business trip in the southern hemisphere and had no idea what was happening in China.
When he finished his work and wanted to return to China, he heard that his mother who settled in Hong Kong was ill, so he hurriedly flew to visit her.
Port city.
Rather than a private hospital, it would be more appropriate to call it a private sanatorium.
Zhou Yue's mother recuperated here.
Zhou Yue's father died early and his mother raised him alone. When Zhou Yue was in college, his mother met her current husband, a wealthy businessman in Gangcheng, and settled in Gangcheng with her husband.
Zhou Yue's mother is Xie Gufang. She is extremely beautiful. Even though she is over 50 years old, she still has a slim figure and a calm temperament.
Zhou Yue looks like his mother, but his personality is different. After graduating from the University of Hong Kong, he refused to join his stepfather's company and instead started his own business, building a gaming empire.
When Zhou Yue saw his mother, he found that she looked very healthy, with well-maintained skin and a rosy face with a slight flush. She looked even better than his son, who had not yet adjusted to the jet lag after consecutive flights.
"Mom, are you okay? What did the doctor say?" Zhou Yue was a filial son. Although he resented his mother for making a fuss in his heart, he still asked her respectfully.
"It's okay, it's just an old problem caused by age." Xie Gufang waved her hand. The mutton-fat jade bracelet on her wrist shone with a lustrous light, making her look even more gentle and beautiful.
Zhou's mother grabbed her son's hand and asked him about his recent situation with concern.
She only has this one son and always wanted to be closer to him, but Zhou Yue insisted on building the company in S City and she refused to listen no matter how she tried to persuade him.
Xie Gufang missed her son very much as she was rarely with him, so she pretended to be sick and called Zhou Yue over.
Her current husband does have two sons, both of whom hold leadership positions in the company and respect her very much. However, the two stepsons are old and not her biological sons, so there is always a gap between them.
When Xie Xingfang saw her son, she repeated her old idea, wanting him to move the company back to Hong Kong City so that he could stay with her forever.
"Hong Kong's electronics industry is also very developed, and there are many preferential policies..."
"Mom, it's not that easy for the company to relocate. Don't think that it will happen at any time. Besides, there are many market opportunities in S City, which is the most suitable for development." Zhou Yue said helplessly.
My mother knows nothing about business, but I always like to follow her routine. I know that the first step is to ask about my recent situation, and the second step is to urge me to get married.
"Okay, if you don't like it, Mom won't nag me." Seeing that her son was getting impatient, Xie Xingfang changed the subject -
"Your lips are pale, so you must be having trouble eating or sleeping. Find a girl to take care of you. There's a girl I think is pretty good—"
Zhou Yue waved his hand to stop him: "...I don't look well because I'm jet-lagged."
Mother Zhou pretended not to hear and continued, "Your Uncle Chen has a daughter of a family friend who's about your age and also works in City S. You two could get in touch. Which flight are you taking back to City S? You could book the same flight. It's a good opportunity for you to get to know each other."
"......" Seeing her determined look, Zhou Yue was afraid that his mother would have a heart attack if he refused her again and again, so he had no choice but to agree.
I'll find a chance to make it clear when the time comes, he thought.
