The online buzz continues to grow, and Zhao Hui and Wu Fei explained that the reason they haven't given a clear response is that they want to handle it discreetly.
Wu Fei has been in this industry for almost twenty years, how could he not know the reasons behind it? He's just that as the boss of a talent agency, he's rarely criticized by fans in public, so he was a little annoyed for a moment.
After discussing it, the two decided that the injury could not be hidden any longer, so they might as well make it public to the outside world.
However, Wu Fei requested that the time, place, and cause of the injury be handled vaguely, because it was not an injury sustained on duty, but an accident that occurred while he was having fun on a leisure day after work.
Zhao Hui naturally agreed, but inwardly felt a bit indignant for Wei Changfeng. He had hardly rested in recent years, especially in the two or three years after he became famous; it was no exaggeration to say that he was working more than 350 days a year.
So what's wrong with mentioning an injury sustained while resting?
However, Zhao Hui, having been in this industry for many years, knew that Wu Fei's concerns were reasonable: sometimes, when public opinion shifts, even things that are clearly just and reasonable can be distorted beyond recognition, thus incurring infamy.
So on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, at the request and with the assistance of his agency, Wei Changfeng dressed in traditional and festive Chinese clothing, made up, and released a New Year's greeting video to his fans.
Besides offering New Year's greetings, he also briefly mentioned his injury in the video, saying that he is recovering and asking everyone not to worry.
Finally, I humorously wish everyone a happy Lunar New Year's Eve, and that health comes first. Please don't end up like him, getting "gloriously injured" without even realizing it.
Fans were both excited and heartbroken after watching the video, and the video of him visiting relatives and friends despite his injuries went viral on various online platforms.
"Waaah, my brother is so great!"
Happy Chinese New Year, brother! May everything go well for you, brother!
"My heart aches for my brother~ Even at a time like this, he's still thinking about letting us know he's safe!"
"It's good that you're alright, brother. We were so worried about you. Take good care of yourself and get well soon."
"Brother, how did you injure your long legs? Those legs should be insured for a million dollars!"
"Brother, could you tell me your home or office address? I'll make soup for you every day and bring it over. I heard that drinking more bone broth helps with recovery."
"Brother, my family has been running a traditional bone-setting clinic for generations. Do you want to come over so I can find the best master to take a look at you?"
"What are you ladies thinking? You're throwing abacus beads at my face!"
"Zhao Hui and Xiao Hao, please take good care of my brother."
"Brother, you're so handsome! How can you still be so handsome even when you're injured!"
"Brother looks so good in red! Chinese clothing suits you so well. Let's film a period drama next time!"
...
Boss Wu Fei was lying on the sofa at home, scrolling through Weibo comments and smiling broadly. Even his wife, who was handing him fruit, couldn't stand it anymore.
"What's making you so happy?"
"The fans of my company's artists are amazing! I don't even need to buy trending topics; they dominate the trending list year after year. They've saved the company so much on advertising this year!"
"Hmph, wasn't it the same time a few days ago when I was cursing you so fiercely?" Wu Fei's wife snorted in dissatisfaction.
"Huh? How did you know?" Wu Fei was a little surprised.
His wife glanced at him sideways and said feigned anger, "Are only your entertainment company and fans online? The rest of us go online too! I've seen all the posts criticizing you, and they even dragged our family into it."
Wu Fei sat up, ready to coax his wife: "Oh dear, who told you to marry a big shot in the entertainment industry! You're bound to suffer some grievances and get some hardship."
The wife's anger turned to joy, and she said with some pride, "I didn't really suffer any injustice. My colleagues know that your company has so many artists, and they keep asking me for autographs, especially Wei Changfeng's."
"And our big boss said that if we could invite a few people to the company's annual meeting to cheer us on, it would be a huge boost to our prestige."
Wu Fei pretended to be serious: "Let's keep things separate. Celebrities can attend company annual meetings, as long as your company can afford it. Autographed photos are fine to give out."
"You damn capitalist! You don't even show any mercy to your wife, and all you can talk about is money." Wu Fei's wife got up and walked towards the kitchen.
"Hey, where are you going?" Wu Fei called out from behind her.
"Didn't you say you were drinking too much and ruining your stomach by socializing all the time? I'll make you a bowl of noodle soup!"
Wu Fei watched his wife's retreating figure with satisfaction. With a successful career and a virtuous wife at home, he could be considered a successful person in the entertainment industry.
What he didn't expect was that his optimism was premature.
Two weeks later, Wei Changfeng once again topped the trending search list, even more popular than on the eve of the Lunar New Year, with Weibo notifications displaying the word "hot" in purplish-red.
Life in China and abroad seems to have two different rhythms, but the enthusiasm for the Spring Festival is something that is ingrained in the bones of all Chinese people.
As the Spring Festival approaches, the atmosphere becomes more and more festive, and Chinese elements begin to appear in every corner of Paris, especially in places like the 13th arrondissement where there is a large Chinese population.
Lin Xiao bought a lot of New Year's goods, including many ornaments and Spring Festival couplets, to decorate her small room.
By pasting bright red paper-cut window decorations on the windows, placing North American holly flowers bought from the florist in the vase, and hanging a small golden "福" (good fortune) character on each flower branch, the small house was quickly decorated with a strong festive atmosphere.
During this period, Wang Wei invited Lin Xiao to his home for the Spring Festival, saying that it was a "task that he had to complete" that his parents had entrusted to him.
Wang Handong also personally called Lin Xiao once to tell her that on New Year's Eve, the embassy would invite representatives of Chinese businesspeople and students in France to attend the New Year's Eve party hosted by the embassy.
