Chapter 92
Because He Tong and Ye Yuze have always had a bad reputation for confronting people head-on and going to court if they cross the line, self-media big Vs have already put them on the high-risk list. They can use facts to gain popularity, but they dare not accept articles that slander them.
The marketing accounts that still publish negative content about the two are either self-produced accounts, like Miao Zhizhi did last time, or they're managed by entertainment companies. As for the latter, entertainment companies generally have a good idea of their identities. Aside from some legitimate accounts that are particularly well-hidden, the content posted by each account provides a rough idea of who's behind them.
The account "Wherever there is information, there I am" that broke the news today is obviously an account maintained by Youyu Entertainment.
As soon as he knew this, He Tong naturally knew who was behind the scenes and why the other party suddenly used a lame video to blacken him - the other party must be furious, so he would just blacken him without caring about anything else to vent his anger.
Whenever He Tong thought about how the other party was angry and couldn't do anything to him, he felt so happy that he wanted to sing.
But he still held back. After all, Ye Yuze was right next to him, and he couldn't bear to harm his brother Ye's ears.
At this moment, Ye Yuze, who had been paying a little more attention to the situation, asked the most common question on He Tong's Weibo: "The daughter of Director Liu of Youyu Entertainment? What did she do?"
He Tong smiled and said, "I have to start from the beginning. Ever since she found out we got those two roles, she's used her connections to bribe some people on the crew to spread rumors against us. Two months ago, the internet trolls attacking the An He crew and us were also her doing. You were right back then. She just didn't like us and wanted to give us a smack. Alas, the individual differences in humans never cease to amaze me. But, after she finished slamming us, what else could she expect? She's a bit too optimistic."
Then, He Tong explained the whole process to Ye Yuze in detail.
After hearing this, Ye Yuze raised an eyebrow and asked, "How did you dig up this person who is so far away from you?"
He Tong thought about how Ye Yuze had almost exposed him, so he decided to just go for broke: "I dreamed about it. When I woke up, I asked Big Brother to check, and it really was what happened."
Ye Yuze became interested: "What will you dream about in the future?"
He Tong spread his hands and said, "I can't really say for sure. It depends on whether anything else will provoke me."
Ye Yuze looked at him meaningfully.
He Tong came over and hugged the person, putting on a pitiful look. "The nightmares I had before were too terrible. I hope nothing will trigger me to have them again."
Ye Yuze's eyes softened instantly. He raised his hand to rub his head and then took the initiative to kiss him on the lips: "It's all over. I'm here."
He Tong happily hugged the person tightly and bent down to kiss her tightly.
◇◆◇
The netizens who gathered under He Tong’s Weibo after smelling the melon did not have the privilege of hearing the explanation from the person involved in person.
However, soon an entertainment celebrity came out with the news to satisfy their curiosity.
@圈内潜行V: #贺同呼话游宇娱乐# A lot of people asked me about this today, so I dug into it. This is a bit complicated, so please bear with me.
First, let's talk about the "director's daughter" from the You Yu family. I first found the director (only one surnamed L) at You Yu's place, then used his photos to cast a wide net and compare them to the daughter. She had posted many photos with her father on her Weibo and had also mentioned that her father was a shareholder in an entertainment company. With all these clues matching, it was almost certain that she was the daughter. (See Figures 1, 2, and 3)
Then, from Qianjin's Weibo, we can see that she is an online author, having published seven novels on Weibo. She is also a fan of Su Yuan. The male protagonists in those seven novels are all Su Yuan, and the female protagonists also share her pen name. (See Figure 4)
Now, let's get to the point. One of these seven novels had its television adaptation submitted for a TV series two years ago, but was rejected that year (see Figure 5). In recent years, dramas involving actual historical figures have been strictly regulated; we all understand that excessive distortion of facts cannot harm the characters.
Last year, another TV series, with the same title and the lead actor's name, was approved (see Figure 6). However, two months ago, it was reported that the show had changed its name in an attempt to exploit a loophole. This morning, the project was rejected again, and its filming permit was revoked. The producer was also given a serious warning for maliciously deceiving the review team (see Figure 7).
I should explain here that applying for a project isn't just about filling out a simple online form; you also need to submit a script, and the adapted version must include a synopsis of the original work. If it's just a name change, it's actually pretty easy to check. And the serious warning basically means the producer has been blacklisted, making it very difficult for them to get their project applications approved in the future. And the producer of this drama is none other than You Yu's director, the original author's father.
The show started filming over a month ago and has also received some publicity (see Figure 8). Now that the filming permit has been revoked, this investment has gone down the drain.
I also discovered from looking through the daughter's Weibo that she's highly critical of the production team behind "Anhe Shengshi." She believes the crew deliberately cast actors known for their homosexuality to play Su Yuan and Yan Ye, significantly damaging Su Yuan's image. For the past three months, her Weibo posts have largely been devoted to criticizing the production team and the two actors. (See Figure 9)
The above is the whole story of this melon that I found out. I wish you all a happy melon-eating experience.
After reading this long Weibo post, netizens smacked their lips with satisfaction and helped push #He Tong calls out to Youyu Entertainment# to the top of the trending searches.
The blogger's words are too polite. That's not "criticism" at all. It's just a shrew scolding people in the street. She's really dirty. My Lord Su is so powerful. He can still stir up blood and gore after hundreds of years. [dog head] [Hahaha, Lord Su's reputation has been damaged. Above, please don't blame the idol for your fan behavior. [idiot] [So when the Yan Su CP trended on the search list two months ago, it was this deep dream female fan who was responsible, right? [eating melon] [Everyone has the right to dream, but taking your dreams seriously and hiring netizens to criticize other people's research and insult the characters is not good.] [As a result, the last trending search even strengthened the Yan Su party. I wonder if that daughter was so angry that she vomited blood. [eating melon] [I've read one of her articles. Anyway, I don't recognize that the male protagonist is Lord Su.] [I went to her Weibo and found that she actually has quite a few fans of the book, who keep saying that what she writes is the real history... Then I have to say, the report was good and the call to stop it was good. 】【Two months ago, the timing of this report was quite intriguing. If she had kept quiet and not caused trouble, perhaps her drama would have been finished. Now, she has lost all her investment, which is really a rip-off. 】【It’s better not to release that kind of drama, it’s an eyesore. When it comes to investment dramas, I have to admire Tongze, theirs are truly top-notch. 】【I’m quite curious, I wonder if the eldest lady is more angry about losing money or more angry about her dream being woken up. 】【The latter. Look at her getting angry today and finding marketing accounts to attack black people, obviously not taking the money seriously. [Eat melon] 】【She set permissions for the post. No way, she was so enthusiastic when she scolded others, but she became so fragile just because a few people came over to laugh at her dream girl? 】【I’d rather be mad at her to death, she even has a reason to write prostitute articles and film prostitute dramas. It’s just that Master Su is unlucky. 】◆◇◆
The trending search with He Tong's name stayed on Weibo for almost a whole day. The next night, Zhilei also pushed a trending search - #He Tong Ye and Ze's first reality show#, which just took over the wave of popularity to promote the reality show.
Riding on this wave of popularity, Zhilei released a promotional video for the first season of "Entering Our Traditional Culture" that evening, which saw a surge in clicks and widespread discussion, with all metrics exceeding expectations by nearly 20 points. Even Jin Ming had to admit that her young chairman and her husband were truly the buzzwords of the industry, bringing fame to any project they joined.
The first season of "Entering Our Traditional Culture" consists of five episodes, each filmed over nine days with a one-day break between them. During filming, there will be seven or eight hours of live broadcasts each day, and edited versions will be released and permanently preserved on Zhilei Video.
The first episode, in which He Tong and Ye Yuze participated, was themed Peking Opera. Two regular guests and four guest performers would step inside the renowned Yancheng Changfeng Peking Opera Troupe to experience life there. While introducing this national treasure to the audience, the six performers would also be divided into three groups to study excerpts for a week, culminating in a performance on the final day.
The first day's livestream was a warm-up phase. To avoid diverting traffic, each of the six guests broadcast for half an hour, featuring the popular "production crew picking up guests at their homes." In the evening, after the guests gathered, there would be another two hours of livestreaming.
He Tong and Ye Yuze already live in Yancheng and don't need to travel by plane or high-speed train, so they are the last group to appear.
At 3:00 PM that day, the live broadcast window lit up on time. The camera first showed the elevator door, and the MC's voice rang out: "Now we are going to the top floor to pick up Teacher He and Teacher Ye. Originally, the program team wanted to pick them up at their homes, but Teacher He didn't agree to reveal his address. However, he also said that he would have some small surprises for everyone. Are you looking forward to it?"
Numerous comments immediately flashed across the screen.
[What? Not at home? You guys are such a disappointment, production crew!] [Hahaha, as expected of Tong Dad and Ze Dad, if they say no, it's no.] [Sigh, I was planning to send the director some chicken legs, but now, they're gone!] The director, watching the screen in the broadcast van, felt really bad. He wanted to film at home, too, but those two were big bosses, so what could a mere employee do? He could only go by whatever his dad said.
The elevator went up to the top floor, and when the door opened, a minimalist-style living room was in front of us. Sunlight shone in from the entire floor-to-ceiling glass on the right, illuminating the spacious hall.
The entire hall was furnished with only a set of geometric-style sofas and a coffee table in the middle. He Tong and Ye Yuze were sitting on the sofa drinking coffee.
The camera slowly zoomed in, and the two people on the sofa looked up.
He Tong raised his hand and greeted with a smile: "Come in? Do you want to sit down and have a drink first?"
The atmosphere in front of the camera was peaceful, but the live broadcast barrage was surging.
[On the wall! Shoot the wall! I must be seeing right!]
[The wall behind Master Ze! Cameraman, hurry up!]
The cameraman follows the director's instructions through the headphones and turns the camera toward the left wall.
There were several paintings on the walls, several small landscapes surrounding a large central portrait.
In the portrait, He Tong stands casually with a smile on his face, his collar slightly open, his shirt sleeves half rolled up, one hand half-stuck in his pocket, and the other hand hanging naturally. His whole body exudes a wonderful blend of laziness and vitality.
It was the portrait in "The Painter" whose full appearance was only revealed for a moment in the post-credits scene.
The barrage of comments was quiet for a moment, then appeared even faster.
[Is this the surprise Tongzi was talking about? My tear glands are punctured and I can’t stop crying. QAQ] [Suddenly, I feel like it’s complete... I’ve watched “The Painter” so many times, and the post-credits scene really makes me cry every time I watch it. I didn’t dare to pause to see what the painting looked like. Now I finally got a closer look.] [Seeing Tongtong and Master Ze drinking coffee under that painting, my heart, which had been stabbed by Director Yu for so many years, has finally been healed! It was really hard to let go back then...] [I remembered that Tongzi had posted on Weibo that the painting Zezi painted was his. So, all the paintings on this wall are his? It feels like the two characters in “The Painter” have found happiness outside the movie...] The author has something to say: As usual, the project approval review was still something I made up:p Thanks to the little angel "twilight" for the nutrient solution~~
