Chapter 579 A Reversal! Ying Zijing will always be worthy of your trust [1st update]
This is indeed a huge deception.
The gender of a top celebrity changes, which is more shocking than a top celebrity suddenly getting married and having children.
Even though Weibo has been fixed, fans and other netizens are still in shock.
The online trolls and marketing accounts hired by Times Media also joined the fray.
[A celebrity with a bad reputation who deceives the public!]
[We demand a ban!!!]
[We urge the central television station to ban this kind of artist. This artist doesn't deserve to be an idol; what if they corrupt children?]
Boycott the movie "New Life"! Shang Yaozhi and Yun Heyue collaborated, and both are artists under Chuguang Media. It's impossible that they didn't know her true gender, right?
[So, "New Life" is even going to be nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards? Are they just making a fool of themselves in front of foreign audiences?]
There were quite a few fierce fans, and many issued statements saying they were no longer fans.
But there are many more fans who are quietly waiting.
I'm sorry, I can't accept this [crying].
[Brother Yun, can you please say something? Just say one word and I'll still believe you.]
Ying Zijing read the fan comments for a long time and then fell silent.
Through the screen, she could almost see the collapse and loss of control of countless fans.
The female secretary, not receiving a reply, cautiously asked, "Boss?"
Ying Zijing snapped out of her reverie, her gaze hardening. "Issue a statement, admit it first. We'll have a meeting in a bit, and then hold a press conference this afternoon."
The female secretary replied, "Yes, boss."
Ying Zijin left the secluded place.
Fu Yunshen was waiting outside.
He turned his head and noticed that the girl's mood was off.
He reached out and pulled her into his arms, his fingers stroking her face: "What's wrong?"
Ying Zijing paused for a moment, then said, "I made a mistake."
Although Fu Yunshen gifted her an entertainment empire, her understanding of the entertainment industry was actually still lacking.
Regardless of the reason, it's wrong for girls to participate in boy group auditions.
In the sports world, this would be far more serious than using performance-enhancing drugs to compete.
However, due to her lack of understanding of the entertainment industry, Yu Xuesheng did not realize this mistake when registering Yun Heyue, nor did she realize it when the competition started.
She did create a risk assessment plan, but the one thing she overlooked was the emotional connection between people.
Because she lacks a "heart," she finds it difficult to perceive the myriad aspects of human life.
In this world, there are more than just family, love, and friendship.
Fans invest their emotions when they follow celebrities.
This has indeed seriously harmed them.
“Everyone makes mistakes, even saints do. We’re not saints.” Fu Yunshen stroked her head gently. “But, Yaoyao, we will correct our mistakes.”
He paused, looked at his hands, and lowered his voice: "I've made mistakes too, very serious ones, someone died."
Ying Zijin frowned: "You were only two years old then, don't blame yourself."
“Not that time,” Fu Yunshen said calmly, his eyelashes trembling slightly. “A few years ago.”
Ying Zijing remembered that Qin Lingyan had told him that Fu Yunshen no longer touched any computer technology because of a certain incident.
"I want you to know that I'm here, always have been," Fu Yunshen said again, his eyes gentle yet firm. "If there are any mistakes, we'll face them together."
"Yes, I know. I'm going to a press conference this afternoon."
“I’ll contact Ian.” Fu Yun’s eyes darkened slightly. “Times Media has gotten involved in this matter, and it’s probably alarmed the Patch family as well.”
He paused, then asked, "Would I accompany you?"
"No need." Ying Zijing took out her hat and put it on. "I will take responsibility for my mistakes."
As she spoke, she glanced at him again: "You want to blow up the trending topics list too?"
If the two of them were to appear together, it would truly cause a sensation.
Fu Yunshen just smiled and said, "Then I'll watch over you from down here."
Ying Zijin went out.
Fu Yunshen remained standing in the same spot, his head slightly tilted back.
After a long pause, he silently pulled a photograph from a book.
The two men in the picture are both wearing military uniforms.
In the prime of life, full of vigor and high spirits.
They all had a badge embroidered on their right breast with the words IBI on it.
Fu Yunshen looked at the photo for a while, then slowly folded it up and put it back.
But some mistakes he no longer has the chance to correct.
**
Chuguang Media's admission statement was released quickly, once again causing a stir on the trending topics list.
This is something that has no solution. Netizens were just shocked and exclaimed "Wow!", but the fans were completely heartbroken.
Yun and Yue are top celebrities with a huge fan base.
That year she released one album and four singles, half of which became hits.
Her popularity is so widespread that you can hear her songs everywhere you go, and even people who don't know her will sing along.
Other celebrities in the entertainment industry were also confused, especially the other people who debuted with Yun and Yue.
They never expected that their captain would be a girl.
After Tianxing Entertainment went bankrupt, Hua Yin joined another entertainment company.
"Brother Hua, this is a great opportunity!" the agent exclaimed excitedly. "Now Yun Heyue has no chance to recover. As long as she's blacklisted from the entertainment industry, you'll have no rivals!"
Hua Yin narrowed his eyes: "Don't rush. We're not the only ones who want to make a move. Let's see how others do it."
The nail that sticks out gets hammered down; he won't be the first one to fall.
Indeed, quite a few people are eager to try.
This incident was exposed by Times Media, and they were following up on it. They quickly contacted the owner of the account @坟头蹦迪 and immediately sent someone disguised as a reporter to the fan's home to find the person.
It was a girl, slender and tall, with red-rimmed eyes and bloodshot eyes, clearly having been crying for a long time.
An employee stepped forward with a slight smile: "You're a fan of Yunheyue, right? A big fan at that? She's seriously deceiving you. Don't you want to stand up for her and make her leave the industry and disappear completely? We can help you."
To everyone's surprise, the girl's expression changed instantly upon hearing this, and she sneered, "What are you? Dream on!"
With a "bang," she slammed the door shut.
The girl hugged her knees, slowly sat down against the door, and started crying again.
This is someone I genuinely liked for a year.
Although it was just someone online, this person had been with her for a long time.
Having gone through so much together, how could I bear to really hurt anyone?
However, she couldn't accept that the person she liked had changed genders.
Outside the door.
Several employees from Times Media looked at each other, their expressions somewhat grim.
The employee who was closest to the door almost had his nose broken from being hit by it.
This is the capital city, and China; they couldn't possibly force their way into a private residence, so they had no choice but to give up in the end.
The employees turned several corners and met up with Helena.
Helena is still participating in "Youth 303" and can't afford any negative news, so she's all bundled up: "How is it?"
"This isn't just a character breakdown, it's a gender change, and they're still defending it?" Helena sneered. "These Chinese people are so stubborn."
She really didn't know what was so likable about the clouds and the moon now.
Helena thought for a moment, then looked down and made another call to the headquarters of Times Media.
“Mr. Claire, Yun and Yue’s fans are unwilling to stand up against her, so it seems that trying to get through to them is not going to be effective.”
After hearing something said over the other end, Helena's eyes lit up: "Okay, Mr. Claire, we'll get on it right away."
**
The press conference held by Chuguang Media was rushed, but major media outlets were all present.
The female secretary hesitated for a moment: "Boss, shouldn't we tell you about Yun and Yue's family situation?"
“Things aren’t that bad yet. This is her privacy, her deepest scar, and it’s not good to expose it now.” Ying Zijin changed her clothes. “Let her finish recording the song first. Whether or not to tell the truth is up to her.”
The female secretary nodded and followed behind the girl.
The press conference was held online simultaneously.
As soon as Ying Zijin stepped onto the stage, the media couldn't wait to start asking questions.
"Chuguang Media has always touted itself as a dreamland for artists. So now, has it also degenerated into a high-and-mighty capital, specializing in creating fake traffic and sucking the blood of fans?"
"Does Chuguang Media completely disregard its fans? Is it all about getting the money?"
"What are the differences between you now and Tianxing Entertainment and Xingchen Entertainment back then?"
The questions from the media were increasingly sharp.
Ying Zijin rarely appears in public. The last time she recorded a variety show with Norton University, she spoke very little on the show.
But no matter how much the academic and entertainment circles collaborate, the two circles are still too different.
In the entertainment industry, even the smallest things can be blown out of proportion. With the deliberate manipulation of online trolls and marketing accounts, they can always use public opinion to pressure people.
[I'm not a fan of Yunheyue, I just came to see how Ying Shen responded.]
[+1, me too.]
To be honest, I'm also a little upset, because, how should I put it, Ying Shen did help deceive them.
The reporter at the front handed over the microphone and went straight to the point: "CEO Ying, do you know Yun and Yue's true gender?"
Ying Zijing replied calmly, "Yes, I knew from the beginning that He Yue was a girl."
This admission caused an uproar among viewers watching the live stream.
So you really know!
I'm also finding this a bit hard to accept...
Immediately afterward, before the reporter could ask another question, Ying Zijing spoke up again: "Therefore, I apologize here to her fans for not considering your feelings—"
She slowly uttered three words: "I'm sorry."
Although the female secretary, Chairman Lu, and several other senior executives already knew that Ying Zijing was going to apologize,
But now, hearing Ying Zijin utter those three words with his own ears, his body and mind trembled.
Not only the reporters at the scene, but also those watching the live stream online were stunned.
In many people's minds, Ying Zijin is a very capable person, almost omnipotent.
She is always calm, collected, and strong-willed, never showing any vulnerable side.
Sometimes they really treat her like a goddess, someone unapproachable and only to be admired from afar.
Many people would like to see a god fall from grace.
Even now, there are still many keyboard warriors who belittle Ying Zijin; there is never a shortage of jealous people who can't stand seeing others do well.
But no one expected her to actually apologize.
“If we’re wrong, we’re wrong,” Ying Zijin continued. “No one is infallible. I’m human too. If it’s our fault, we should apologize and let them mock us.”
"While there are reasons why I disguised myself as a man, I am truly sorry for deceiving everyone."
The screen was silent.
There wasn't a single word left.
Ying Zijin continued, "After collecting the users' account information, Chuguang Media will refund every penny of the money that fans donated to vote."
"The company will compensate for any emotional distress or needs."
"I assure you that Chuguang Media will never degenerate into a company like Tianxing Entertainment or Xingchen Entertainment. It will always be a place where everyone can realize their dreams."
In the photos, the girl's appearance remains unchanged, with clear and bright eyes.
She was telling everyone this in this way.
She will always be worthy of your trust and your affection.
The audience was completely silent.
The female secretary covered her mouth, her eyes reddening.
[If you admit your mistakes and correct them, you'll still be the best player.]
[I knew it! Ying Shen will never let you down!]
Why not like someone like that?
The reporters were silent for a moment before asking their questions again.
"What unspeakable difficulties do Yun and Yue have?"
"I'm sorry, this involves very private matters." This time, it was the female secretary who answered, "Yun-ge is still recording a song. This song is one she promised to give to her fans. We will discuss everything after she finishes recording the song."
A foreign journalist pressed his earpiece and received a message from Time Media.
Then he picked up the microphone and handed it over: "CEO Ying, under these circumstances, do you think the film 'New Life' can still win China's first Hong Kong Film Award?"
He smiled sarcastically: "With so many people watching, please don't try to evade the issue, just speak frankly."
When readers are reading from God's perspective and projecting their own feelings onto the protagonist, they sometimes fail to understand the thoughts of the supporting characters, assuming that anyone who has ever opposed the protagonist is inherently bad.
This was a mistake made by the Empress Ying, because she initially lacked emotions and was unable to understand the complexities of human nature.
The protagonist is not infallible; correcting mistakes is a good thing.
