Chapter 59 Are you ready to receive my lawyer’s letter?
As soon as these words were spoken, the barrage of comments exploded.
[??? No, are you familiar with her?]
[How long have we known each other, and you're already endorsing her?!]
[Although I've been into this kind of arrogant stuff before, I used to think of them as a team of comrades who just wanted to tease each other. I never thought these two would get along like this???]
[Don't be impulsive, brother! She may act well on this show, but don't you know who she is?]
"I don't understand her, but you do?"
Sheng Yi tilted his head and chuckled, "Did I record the show with her, or did you record the show with her?"
"Ask me why I believe her?"
Sheng Yi spoke each word with a firm tone, "Because I've actually seen her and interacted with her, and I'm not just defining her based on hearsay."
Wen Shu paused on the stairs for a moment, then realized something. He quickened his pace and rushed downstairs, coming into Sheng Yi's camera. Almost for the first time, he spoke forcefully in front of the camera: "I believe in Chu Ling, too!"
She calmed down, suppressing the anger in her chest before slowly saying, "I... I guarantee that Chu Ling isn't the kind of person the rumors say he is... Although you may not believe my promise, I want to say that Chu Ling is truly a very good person."
“Although she can be quite direct at times, which can make some people uncomfortable, she actually has a very kind heart.”
"I absolutely don't believe Chu Ling would do those things."
She looked at the camera pleadingly, "Give her a little more time, she will definitely respond."
Sheng Yi raised his eyebrows, looked at Wen Shu with admiration, and then said, "See, anyone who has actually come into contact with Chu Ling knows that she is not that kind of person."
He looked at the figure in the far corner and said, "Zhou Yu, what about you?"
"You're not the one who always calls me sister. You've also met Chu Ling. Tell me what you think of her."
Zhou Yu was just passing by to get some water, but he didn't expect to get into such a bad situation.
"Well……"
He smiled awkwardly and said to the camera, "Yes, I have met Chu Ling... and I did think she was very special before."
He spoke hesitantly for a long while before finally saying, "But as for what kind of person she is, I don't know either. After all, I've only known her for a few days, and my impression of her comes from previous programs, which might not be accurate..."
Zhou Yu also read the negative information about Chu Ling and felt that she would not be able to make a comeback this time.
What female celebrity can get away with being involved in such obscene rumors?
Even if Chu Ling and her company issued some bland statement later, it probably wouldn't be able to salvage her current reputation.
It seems there is no need to continue hyping this CP.
Zhou Yu immediately chose to play it safe: "I'd rather not comment. After all, some people have very different images on and off stage, and we don't know which one is the real her."
After thinking about it, he even chose to try to please the audience who were currently attacking Chu Ling. "If those rumors are true... then I feel very sorry. She has let down so many people who like her, and so many viewers."
Sheng Yi: “???”
You bastard, you still say you like her?
When something goes wrong, he tries to distance himself from it better than anyone else, and even adds insult to injury.
He knew that this guy was not sincere.
However, the comments on the forum all expressed their agreement with Zhou Yu's approach.
[So rational, this is what a normal person does! ]
[That's great! Hurry up and open your eyes to find the next good girl! Stop liking this kind of female star. The entertainment industry is too complicated!]
[Luckily, Xiao Zhou has only been here a few days, so I can still cut my losses in time.]
[Sheng Yi and Wen Shu, can you please wake up a little! ! ]
"I'm wide awake now."
Sheng Yi leaned back and said, "There's no time to be more sober than now."
He guessed that his agent or teammates might be sending him messages frantically, asking him to turn off the microphone immediately.
This matter had nothing to do with him.
He could have stayed out of it.
But because of his voice, he also became a hot topic along with Chu Ling, and all the people under the hot topic were scolding him.
Some say he is not in a clear mind, while others say he is trying to gain popularity deliberately to become famous.
It doesn't matter.
Sheng Yi thought, "Call me if you want me to. It's not the first time." But at least this way Chu Ling isn't alone.
He even fought back against all the comments cursing Chu Ling one by one, but before he could do much, the director team was afraid that something strange would happen again, so they told Sheng Yi to do his own thing and stop confronting netizens.
Throughout the whole day, because Chu Ling did not show up, the atmosphere in the entire live broadcast room became particularly bad.
[I think Chu Ling's lack of response this time is clearly a sign of playing dead. She's also playing the role of a coward, just like she always did.]
[It's hilarious! Someone even stood up for her, but she didn't expect Chu Ling to backstab her. Are you stupid?]
[I don't think Chu Ling will come out. Let's just go. It's boring.]
"If you rush me like that, won't you live till the next morning?"
By the evening, when the live broadcast was about to end and the onlookers were about to disperse, Chu Ling's beautiful face and unique sarcastic voice suddenly appeared in front of the camera, immediately pulling back all the netizens who were about to disperse.
[Oh my god, it’s Chu Ling!!]
[She actually dared to come out?!]
[Get out of Heartbeat Lab now and stop polluting this dating show! You don’t deserve it! !]
[I still want to hear what Chu Ling has to say...I still think those rumors are outrageous.]
She's definitely going to try to clear her name, maybe even play the victim and say those are all rumors. Let's see if she comes with red eyes.
I'm afraid you will be disappointed.
Despite suffering such a big storm, Chu Ling's face did not look haggard at all. He was still arrogant and energetic, which made many netizens angry.
【? She's actually still in such good shape!】
[You're not taking this seriously at all, are you? You're so shameless! ]
system:"……"
Of course she was in high spirits.
Now the income has exceeded 40 million.
When celebrities in the entertainment industry were making 2 million a day, Chu Ling had already achieved the feat of 20 million a day. How could he not be happy?
"I know a lot of people are waiting in line to scold me. Don't worry, come one by one."
Chu Ling glanced at the comments and picked out one, reading, "You're only here now. What were you doing before? Were you preparing a PR plan?"
After she finished reading it, she smiled, then pretended to be touched and said, "You actually thought my company would have a PR plan—you're even more optimistic than my agent. Thank you."
"Why are you here so late? Because you can make up rumors without any evidence, but you have to have some evidence to respond to them. Otherwise, it would be unfair to them for setting me up, right?"
Chu Ling sat down in front of the camera and even waved his hand, signaling the camera to move closer to him and take a direct shot of his face.
"These are the insults I've been getting over the years. I didn't respond to them one by one before because I thought most netizens would have brains and wouldn't believe them. I didn't expect them to be brought up today. I'm very surprised—"
Chu Ling put his finger to his lips and gave a very exaggerated expression. "You actually believed it?"
Sheng Yi was watching Chu Ling from a distance, and suddenly smiled when he heard that.
As expected of Chu Ling.
Even after refuting the rumor about such a big thing, he still couldn't stop talking.
Is she crazy?
[I feel like she's already immersed in her own crazy persona. This might just be a way for her to whitewash herself. Don't believe it.]
[If you have the guts, respond with concrete evidence.]
"Instead of asking the people who spread rumors about me for solid evidence, you asked the victim instead. Okay, then let's talk it out."
"It's a little hard to prove this rumor myself, but it's not completely impossible—first of all, I said I got my first role thanks to a sponsor."
Chu Ling said the word "financial sponsor" openly, then rolled his eyes, "You crawled under my bed? Did you see it with your own eyes?"
She touched her face, her tone full of narcissism, "People have been making this rumor up since my debut. It's because I'm so beautiful. It's a shame that you think this face doesn't belong to anyone, right?"
"I'm sorry, but I really don't."
Chu Ling laughed and said, "You're questioning how I was able to unexpectedly land the role of 'Lin Yao'. It's simple. Why don't you go ask the actress I allegedly pushed out why she broke her contract and ran away right after filming started?"
After this sentence was spoken, it almost completely overturned everyone's cognition.
【? ?ah! ? 】
[This is different from what I know. Didn't Chu Ling suddenly appear after the crew started filming, squeeze out the previous actress, and then become famous for this role?]
"Use your smooth brains to think about this, okay?"
Chu Ling sneered disdainfully, "If I had such powerful backing, why wouldn't I just find myself a new female lead role? Why am I going through all this trouble to squeeze out someone else's supporting role? What's my motivation? Just because a vicious female supporting role matches my personality, and I can get myself into a cyberbullying situation, right?"
[…What she said seems to make sense. Who would do that if they had real resources? They would have already decided on it during the casting.]
[But it's also true that she joined the crew after filming started. I remember she wasn't present at the initial publicity or opening ceremony.]
"Back then, I had just entered the industry and auditioned for this role for the first time, but I was rejected at first."
"Later, because the previous actor broke the contract and ran away to act in other dramas, the director found me again at the last minute."
Chu Ling fiddled with his phone and said, "Luckily, I have the habit of not deleting chat records. The records of my communication with the director, producer, and agent about my two auditions are still there. I'll post them all on Weibo later."
He is not some resource bully who suddenly appears to squeeze out other roles, but a temporary rescuer.
"Also, they said my resources decreased because my sponsor dumped me."
Chu Ling wanted to laugh when he heard this. "I want to ask why the sponsor is so useless. He just gave me a supporting role and then left. Have I ever had any good resources since then?"
Why is she obscure?
It is precisely because he refused the unspoken rules and offended too many people that he became unpopular.
"They said I had low emotional intelligence and was a big shot..."
Chu Ling said, "I'm sorry, I've offended so many people that I can't remember them all."
"But the scolding I gave you should be what you deserve, right?"
She said, "Especially those directors, producers, and investors who deliberately force me to drink and touch my legs at the table. Is throwing wine back considered being a big shot?"
She smiled and said, "I thought this was a way to clean up the workplace and bravely fight against bad practices."
Sheng Yi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood why Chu Ling had spoken up to block the wine for him.
She has seen countless such occasions in the entertainment industry.
"Hey, there are many people in there and I still remember your names."
Chu Ling said calmly, "If you come out and say that this is not the case, or that Chu Ling is just being a big shot, you are always welcome to come and fight me."
[I've actually heard this before. It was said that Chu Ling took advantage of his fame to act like a big shot, offending many people and being rude to them. So, it turns out some of the bosses were taking advantage of this situation to sexually harass people, right?]
There were a lot of press releases about her being a diva at the time, but none of them actually proved anything. It was all just insider information.
[…I have to say, being a female celebrity is really miserable.]
[If it's true, then I really should show some compassion...]
"The most outrageous thing is that I dropped out of school to make money in the entertainment industry."
Chu Ling took out the graduation certificate that had just been delivered from the folder at hand and said, "Is it a normal graduation? Although I was very busy in my senior year and didn't go back to school much, I had almost completed all the credits before then."
"I wonder who's so stupid as to think that if someone didn't attend the graduation ceremony, they didn't graduate. Does your school only look at attendance at the ceremony, not certificates? Then the security guards and cleaners at your school should also be considered graduates of this school, right?"
[…I’m dying of laughter. How could anyone spread such rumors?!]
[After listening to this, it seems like Chu Ling has no problems at all. Has he offended too many people over the years?]
[He directly poured wine on people at the dinner table. It seems that he offended a lot of people hhhhh]
If that's the case, why didn't you refute the rumor before? Were you taking advantage of this hype?
"Hype?"
Chu Ling said, "I can become a trending topic just by saying something. Do I need to hype myself up? Do you want this blessing?"
"Besides, I've debunked the rumors many times, but no one pays attention anymore."
In interviews, on Weibo, and every time I’m asked.
But at that time she was not crazy, and whatever she said was regarded as a public relations courtesy and no one believed her.
"Besides, we're all in the entertainment industry, shouldn't we give people some respect?"
"Besides, I was still a newcomer at the time, and I thought that if I offended someone, I might not be able to make it in life, so I just let it go."
"But now, it doesn't matter."
"This entertainment industry, at worst I can just quit."
Chu Ling raised his chin slightly, staring intently at the camera as he said, "But even if I were to quit the entertainment industry tomorrow, there's one thing I still have to do first."
"This rumor-mongering netizen named Wangzai Dingdingdang."
"Are you ready for my lawyer's letter?"
