These six words are really too sensational.
He Jingsheng and Tang Yao were both shocked for a moment, then quickly clicked on the details.
The most popular post is a Weibo post:
[Gossip Seeker: Recently, netizens photographed Song Yecheng in the obstetrics and gynecology ward, personally delivering meals to a young woman. The two appeared intimate and engaged in a pleasant conversation. The woman appeared to be pregnant and was suspected of expecting.]
A photo of the hospital ward was also posted below the text.
The angle of the photo looks like it was taken secretly at the door. In the picture, Song Yecheng is sitting on the edge of the bed with his side facing the camera, handing a bowl to the woman sitting on the head of the bed. Although the woman is half blocked by Song Yecheng, the smile on her face can still be clearly seen.
"Xu Yi?!"
The moment they saw the woman's appearance clearly, He Jingsheng and Tang Yao immediately understood why the public relations manager had come.
Then, three enlarged and circled details in the image highlighted the key points for everyone who clicked on it:
The first is the thermos bucket on the bedside table, which is used to support the "delivery of food" in the text;
The second is Xu Yi's apparently bulging belly, which proves she is pregnant.
The third place proves that she is "waiting for delivery" - the bedside card hanging on the wall has been enlarged and processed, the patient's name on it has been coded, and the "Department" clearly says "Obstetrics and Gynecology".
"What a mess!" He Jingsheng was puzzled. "Isn't this a filming?"
The PR manager nodded grimly, "I know we're filming, but netizens don't know! Xu Yi is a newcomer, and no one is familiar with her. She wore sick makeup for this scene, which is a far cry from her makeup in the film's official photos. Even now, no one in the comments section has recognized her."
After hearing this, Tang Yao clicked into the comment section and took a quick look, and found that no one had guessed Xu Yi's identity and the truth that this happened on the set.
But this is actually very strange.
Because "Searching for the Lantern" is an adaptation, its plot is no secret. Anyone who has read the original novel and has an impression of the plot, if they think about the fact that Song Yecheng is on the crew, will easily think that this is a filming.
Even if most passersby didn't think much about it, at least Song Yecheng's fans wouldn't have missed it. How could there not be even a single guessed comment?
Thinking about it, Tang Yao speculated: "Maybe it's not that no one guessed it, but the blogger is deliberately deleting and controlling the comments?"
After that, she asked again: "Has this gossip account ever dealt with our company? Can we contact them?"
The manager shook his head. "We have the contact information for the previous owner of this number, but I just tried to call and it said the number doesn't exist. It might have been sold."
"What about Xu Yi?" He Jingsheng asked, "Just ask her to quickly identify herself and issue a clarification, right?"
Hearing this, the manager looked helpless again. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a rapid "tapping" sound of high heels coming from the corridor outside the door.
"Mr. He."
The person who came was Tong Qian. When she saw Tang Yao and the PR manager, she immediately asked, "Have you seen the trending searches?"
Seeing the three nod, she quickly asked, "Have you contacted Xu Yi? Why is she always on the phone?"
"On the phone?" He Jingsheng wondered.
The PR manager beside him nodded repeatedly, clearly meaning the same thing he was about to say. "Not only her, Xiao You's phone has also been busy, so I hurried over to ask what to do. Should we wait for her or send it directly for her?"
Hearing this, Tang Yao pondered for a moment: "Could it be that their relatives and friends saw the trending search and are calling to inquire about the situation?"
This explanation does make sense. He Jingsheng thought about it and told the manager, "It's better to let her send it herself. Don't stop calling. Keep calling."
The manager nodded quickly: "Okay."
On the other side, the Silver Ridge Studios.
Song Yecheng actually received the news earlier than them. Liang Heming called him almost as soon as he hung up the phone with Tang Yao.
This is not difficult to understand. After all, the theme of the tag is the three big words "Song Yecheng". This keyword has always been within the automatic search range of their company's public relations department, so it was reported immediately after it appeared.
Seeing the picture on the trending search, before Song Yecheng could say anything, Zhuang Yan got angry first: "What the hell is this?!"
He already hated those fabricated gossip accounts, and the three exaggerated details in this picture hit his nerves accurately:
The thermos was a filming prop, and the so-called "bulging belly" was simply a problem of angle. As for the bedside card, it was a detail of the set - because Qiao Min's illness was the gynecological disease that caused her infertility, there would be a close-up of the bedside card during the filming, so the details were deliberately done in place.
Zhuang Yan has always paid special attention to details when filming, which is something he is proud of. However, he did not expect that someone would use this as an excuse to make a comment based on the pictures.
The patient's name column on the bedside card clearly reads "Qiao Min". If it had not been blurred, it would not have caused any unnecessary misunderstanding. However, the blogger chose to cover up the most critical part, which shows that he did it on purpose and is despicable.
Zhuang Yan rarely lost his temper on set, but this shout startled everyone around him and made them shrink their necks. Song Yecheng was also startled and quickly advised, "Uncle, calm down, don't get angry."
"Still calm?!" Zhuang Yan puffed out his beard and glared, "They even made up a story about your illegitimate child. If you stay calm for a while, your son will be just a bystander!"
Hearing this, Song Yecheng actually wanted to laugh.
He wasn't actually too worried about the trending topic, because in his opinion, it wasn't even a rumor; it was just a joke at best. The gossip accounts might feel good about spreading rumors, but Liang Heming and the legal department would surely make him a mess.
"It's okay, relax," Song Yecheng comforted, "Brother Ming said it's not a big deal, he can handle it, let's just focus on filming."
"What are you still filming?"
Zhuang Yan said unhappily, "Let's disperse for now. We'll continue filming this afternoon. I'll have them edit the footage from that day for you. Quickly post an explanation on Weibo to avoid any further complications."
Hearing him say this, Song Yecheng didn't act arrogantly and nodded, "Okay."
Seeing Zhuang Yan turning and walking away, urging others to join him in editing the film, Douzi, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, came over and whispered, "Brother Cheng, Director Zhuang is so angry...it can't just be because of the gossip accounts spreading rumors, right?"
Hearing this, Song Yecheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and glanced at him, a little surprised that he could be so smart this time: "Oh, it's great, you can see that?"
Douzi chuckled and speculated uncertainly, "Is he... because the photos were leaked in a rather strange way?"
Song Yecheng didn't answer, but nodded.
The filming location for that scene was not a real hospital, but the office area setting of the Villa Business Club, so there was no possibility of "chance encounter by netizens". The person who leaked the photo was either an actor or assistant who was present that day, or someone from Zhuang Yan's own team.
This kind of business of leaking information to make money for marketing accounts is actually not uncommon in the circle, but it is something that Zhuang Yan cannot tolerate.
Although it has not been clarified yet and we don’t know who the culprit is, Zhuang Yan must make his attitude clear and let the other party know that this has touched his bottom line and not to try to fool around.
"He should be trying to scare the tiger by making a warning," Song Yecheng concluded, then changed the subject, "but..."
Douzi quickly asked, "What?"
Song Yecheng curled his lips thoughtfully: "This matter may not be that simple."
Douzi was confused by what he heard. Just as he was about to ask more, he saw Song Yecheng had already turned around.
After receiving the call from Liang Heming, Song Yecheng immediately came over to explain the situation to Zhuang Yan. After all, this matter was related to the movie. Even if he was not so anxious, it was impossible for him not to let Zhuang Yan know.
It was not until this moment that he remembered that Jiang Que had gone. When he turned around to look for him, he found that he was standing a few meters away like a wooden stake, holding a mobile phone with his head down, and it was impossible to tell what he was doing.
Song Yecheng walked over curiously: "What are you doing?"
Thinking of the scene by the barbecue grill that night, Song Yecheng thought he was bored again: "Playing Sudoku again?"
Jiang Que looked up at him, with a hint of condemnation in his eyes, then lowered his head and continued to poke the screen.
Song Yecheng was puzzled by this look. He blinked, walked quickly to his side, and took a look in confusion. He saw that the screen was actually the Weibo editing page.
"Hey, what is this?"
Jiang Que's editing box was already full, with a few pictures underneath. He had just typed the last word when Song Yecheng came over. Before Song Yecheng could see it clearly, he had already clicked send and then locked the screen as if nothing had happened.
Song Yecheng was simply amazed by this smooth and seamless operation. He quickly took out his mobile phone, clicked on Weibo to refresh the homepage, and soon saw the latest content.
As he watched, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Jiang Que posted three pictures:
The first one is a screenshot of Chapter 12 of the e-book "Dust", which contains the text describing the scene between Qiao Min and Fang Zhi in the hospital.
The second photo is a ward photo, but unlike the one that was exposed in the hot search, this photo was taken before the filming of that scene started, so in the same scene, there are not only Song Yecheng and Xu Yi, but also many staff members and machinery and equipment.
The third one was even more concise. He put a high-definition original picture of the bedside card, with the character name "Qiao Min" clearly written in the patient's name column.
In addition, he also used text to annotate the content of the pictures and restore the truth, pointing out that the blogger's deliberate blurring of the pictures was malicious, and finally quoted a law with a hint of meaning - spreading rumors and forwarding 500 messages will be punishable by law.
Song Yecheng didn't expect that he had been standing here silently and was holding back such a big move. Then he thought about how his Weibo had not been updated for eight hundred years, and that any change would be a clarification for himself. The happy bubbles in his heart began to pop and jump.
Thinking of this, he immediately clicked the forward button, typed a few words without thinking, and then pressed send.
"What did Director Zhuang say?" Jiang Que had already put away his phone and asked, getting back to the point, "Does he suspect someone from his group is secretly filming the scene?"
Douzi had already followed. He had been pondering for a long time but couldn't figure out what Song Yecheng meant. When he heard Jiang Que's question, he quickly interrupted and said, "Yeah, why did you say it wasn't that simple? Could it be that the photo was secretly taken by someone who was present at the time?"
"not necessarily."
"uncertain."
Song Yecheng and Jiang Que spoke at the same time.
As soon as the words fell, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other, both a little surprised at the tacit understanding that seemed to have been discussed beforehand.
Seeing how firmly they denied it, Douzi was confused and asked, "Why?"
Song Yecheng didn't know whether Jiang Que's reason for judgment was the same as his, so he said "Hmm?" with interest, indicating that he should speak first.
Jiang Que didn't refuse and said bluntly: "The angle of that photo seems to be taken from the door, but the door was closed at that time and there was no one at the door."
The picture in that photo shows the moment when Song Yecheng is sitting on the edge of the bed and handing the bowl to Xu Yi, which is also the scene in the movie where Fang Zhi hands the soup to Qiao Min and asks how it tastes.
Before this shot, there was a segment where Fang Zhi walked in carrying the thermos and casually closed the door, and after this shot, there was a segment where the two heard a knock on the door and turned around to see the police pushing the door open.
These three sections belong to the same scene. In order to ensure the continuity of the picture, they were shot continuously without any interruption.
So when Fang Zhi sat on the edge of the bed, the door was already closed. In order to avoid any mistakes in the shot of the police entering the room, there was no one standing or walking by the door at that time, so it was impossible to take a secret photo from that angle.
It is worth mentioning that the door of the business club is different from the door of a real hospital ward - it does not have a rectangular visiting window.
When designing the ward set, Zhuang Yan simply had someone make a simple window frame-style curtain behind the door where the window should be. In fact, behind the curtain was the door panel, so there was no possibility of taking secret photos through the window from outside the door.
After listening to Jiang Que's explanation, Douzi was completely confused: "Then how did they take the photo? Is there something fishy going on?"
Song Yecheng glanced at him speechlessly and sympathetically, thinking to himself, I just praised you for being smart today, how come you can't be handsome for more than three seconds?
His judgment was based on the same principles as Jiang Que's, but he added, "Also, the photo's perspective is odd. Unless the person is only 1.2 meters tall, he would have had to hold his phone to his belly button to capture that perspective."
Jiang Que nodded in agreement and said, "But at the moment, this is just our speculation. Words alone are not enough to prove it."
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Maybe... we can go over and take a look?"
This idea once again coincided with Song Yecheng's.
He had originally planned to go back to the set that day, but because they were still filming and Liang Heming said he could handle it, he didn't want to delay the filming progress and decided to go after it was finished.
Now that Zhuang Yan has said that they will rest in the morning, there is no need to delay. Song Yecheng simply turned his head towards the club and raised his chin: "Let's go."
at the same time.
A strange chemical reaction is happening on the Internet.
Originally, Song Yecheng's fans were angry, because just as Tang Yao speculated, they had discovered the truth, but as long as they mentioned the movie or the set in their comments, the gossip blogger would immediately delete and block them, as if he was determined to let passers-by misunderstand him. They were so angry that they gritted their teeth, but they could only madly diss the blogger's bad behavior on their own homepages and Song Yecheng's super topic.
So, when Jiang Que's Weibo post appeared, they felt like they had suddenly found their backbone:
[City Iron Rose: Ahhhh, long live Teacher Bai! ]
[Escape into the city gate: Woohoo, what kind of god is Teacher Bai! I love you so much, woohoo!]
[Chenglou Yuqianling: Sisters, please spread this quickly! Remember to include the topic! I want to see it on the trending search within ten minutes!]
In fact, there is no need to remind you. As soon as this Weibo post appeared, everyone started to forward it crazily and create topics, trying to bring this clarification to the top of the list with overwhelming momentum.
However, when Song Yecheng's subsequent forwarding appeared on the homepage, the scene of the originally indignant and passionate battlefield suddenly changed its tone.
Song Yecheng: Thank you, Mr. Bai, for clearing my name. 嘤~ // Retweet: @白夜听 [Weibo Text][Picture][Picture][Picture]]
The moment they saw that line of words, everyone's first reaction was to be stunned.
The next second, the wooden chicken crowed on the spot and let out a thunderous laugh—
[Wild Star River: Hahahahahahahahaha I can’t stop laughing, help! How can this Ying be so devilish, hahahahahahaha! I instantly feel like something is wrong!]
[The city wall will never fall: Hahahahahaha holy shit! There's even a tilde! Bro, if your account has been hacked, just blink!]
Duke Zhou is puzzled by Song Gongmeng's dream: Oh my god, hahaha! My blood was boiling with excitement, but now my defenses are broken. What a unique style of painting, hahahahahahaha!
[Wildfire Spring Breeze: Ahh ...
A few minutes later, a simple sketch made by a fan circle artist actually appeared in the comment section:
A ferocious-looking wolfdog with three moles on its ears lay on the ground, its head drooping in frustration. Next to it was a sighing text bubble: [嘤~]
This picture was instantly praised and received a lot of comments, and countless fans were so cute that they stomped their feet:
【Ah ...
【What a rare treasure this is!!】
[Wow, I love it! Can I take it away, ma'am?]
The artist replied immediately:
[Jiuno Hua Changqing: You can take the pictures, but not your wife@]
This reply once again triggered a bunch of "hahaha". In a short while, the stick figure was picked up by countless fans and changed into their profile pictures. The fan circle suddenly changed to the same wolf-dog sighing head in tacit understanding, as if they were holding some major celebration.
Soon after, two tags were at the top of the trending searches:
[Bai Yeling immediately clarified for Song Yecheng]
[Song Yecheng: Oh~]
