“If you can't, call me as soon as possible.”
“Okay.”
Yun Xiangyi answered him, her pair of slightly light-colored eyes looked at Zhao Xingguang calmly, as if asking if there was anything else.
Zhao Xingguang was looked at like this by his sister, so his heart softened. “It's all right, you can continue reading the script.”
Yun Xiangyi lowered her head and went on reading, but not as seriously as she had just been. Lin s.h.i.+heng face appeared in her mind just now, with his wanton smile and the way he had taken her milk tea.
He had a real smile; the truest one she had ever seen.
“Dear ancestor, would you please stop laughing?”
The a.s.sistant looked at the man who sat in the lounge chair with his cell phone and laughing so much that he couldn't stop. Layer after layer of sadness acc.u.mulated in his heart, why did he have to get such an artist?
“Just now you bullied Yun Xiangyi, and confronted Zhao Xingguang, and so many people were watching. Within a day, somebody will expose this to the media!”
“And I don't know if there was a photo or video taken just now. If a video gets out, you won't be able to wash off this black spot on your record. No matter how good our public relations are, Lin-ge, there's nothing you could do to save yourself.”
The a.s.sistant had said so much but Lin s.h.i.+heng was still smiling at his cell phone. The a.s.sistant's face collapsed as soon as he looked at him and he spoke powerlessly, “Would you please stop laughing, this situation is very urgent!”
At last, the man resting on the chair turned off his cell phone and raised his head. “Why are you in such a worry, wasn't it just a sip of milk tea?”
“The point is that it was somebody else's milk tea, somebody else's!”
After saying that, seeing that Lin s.h.i.+heng still didn't seem to care, the a.s.sistant wanted to cry but had no tears. “Brother, this time the whole network will tear you up.”
“I can a.s.sure you that as soon as the crew is dispersed for the day, you will soon be besieged by the media as soon as you leave the door, and you may even be a hot search topic tomorrow!”
“Bah!”
Lin s.h.i.+heng clicked on his game. “It's not the first time I've been on the hot search list.”
The a.s.sistant: “I mean the kind where you are being scolded by people.”
“No one is scolding me now, isn't that what you said? There are many people, popular people and n.o.bodies, and no one scolds a n.o.body. They are small and transparent.”
“Maybe, if I am able to get on the hot search list it could bring traffic to the show.” The man lying on the chair was familiar with using his slender fingertips to control p.a.w.ns, killing two birds with one stone. He left his phone on the tea table, stood up and stretched himself.
“If I really become a hot search topic, I have to talk to the Director. I helped the crew by giving them some publicity, he should thank me.”
After Lin s.h.i.+heng said this, he saw the a.s.sistant still have an expression of ‘we are going to die, the sky is going to fall, and we will have to beg for food tomorrow.' He reached out his hand and patted his a.s.sistant's clothes in disgust.
“What kind of expression is that? Even if I am scolded by people all over the world, I can still get any scene I want to film.”
The a.s.sistant: “But it's bad for your reputation.”
“Fame is nothing.” Lin s.h.i.+heng yawned. “Do I really need to have a good reputation? Not many people like me anyway.”
“I'm not like money that can be loved by everyone.”
The a.s.sistant was speechless.
He didn't think he should be using a normal artist's standards to measure Lin s.h.i.+heng, because compared with the artists he had been with before, this one was obviously here to play around just because he could.
If you thought about it carefully, even if he was really scolded for not being able to get along with people in the entertainment circle, he would still be the young master of the Yuguang Group when he returned home.
Although the ignorant and arrogant man in front of him did not look like he should be the one to inherit the Yuguang Group; who told the chairman of Yuguang to only have one heir?
With such a big backer, it was normal to be fearless.
Despite this, his a.s.sistant was worried about seeing ‘Lin s.h.i.+heng and Zhao Xingguang falling out in public' on the hot search list tonight. However, with two dark circles under his eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief in the morning, and finally calmed down.
The ‘Lin s.h.i.+heng bulling others' reaching hot searches by having the incident spread by the cast had been delayed, instead, there had been an online commenting war.
The news soon spread to the entire cast.
However, it was difficult for people to look at him with sympathetic eyes, because many people had scolded Lin s.h.i.+heng anyways, but more importantly, his huge fan base had shouted back angrily.
People said, what kind of stars would have the same kind of fans. Lin s.h.i.+heng's fans were as overbearing and unreasonable as him. To sum it up, the months were quiet when no one bothered him. But wait until someone provoked the sleeping giant, and they would scold you again and again until one side threw in the towel, and from time to time some of them would come back to kick the person while they were already down.
The current situation, however, was obviously different from their usual drama of ‘Lin s.h.i.+heng turning into a poor little thing'. It looked like the Devil Lin had led his group of fans to beat others.
People guessed that the number one reason why Lin s.h.i.+heng's fans were invincible in the current war of words was that the news was not issued by official news platforms, but by marketing accounts.
There was no way the official Yuguang Group orchestrated this, who would want to offend another group's crown prince.
Only marketing people would dare to blow up something such as this for the sake of traffic.
Because this time there was no official media report, his group of fans moved like they had gotten an imperial edict, and rushed up, clawing at the accounts like a dragon, all while cursing and reporting them.
As long as it was a marketing site that had forwarded the news, almost all of them were blown up. It was useless to close the comments section for the articles because his fans would tag them mercilessly.
When fans made such a scene, it was usually the idol who paid the bill.
According to common sense, Lin s.h.i.+heng should stand up at this time and call on everyone not to partake in cyber violence and instead cherish peace.
He did stand up.
It was just, the way he stood up was a bit odd.
He didn't send a long-written speech or a picture to compare his fan to others. Instead, he carefully broadcasted a video.
This matter was on the cusp of a storm, so as soon as the video came out, whether it was a true fan, some pa.s.ser-by or an anti-fan, everyone clicked on it.
In the video, Lin s.h.i.+heng, dressed in a black dragon robe, sat on a small bench and looked at the camera. “About the thing happening online recently, I think I need to give some explanation.”
“First of all, I have to give a formal response to the online rumors that I had a disagreement with Zhao Xingguang.”
[Here we go, here we go!]
[Seeing the skilled smile of the person here. Sure enough, he would begin to try and play innocent and deny it!]
Zhao Xingguang also noticed the video at the same time. He sat in his break room and heard Lin s.h.i.+heng ‘s words as soon as he opened it.
After spending a lot of time in the entertainment industry, he had no doubts about what Lin s.h.i.+heng was going to say.
Wasn't this something that happened all the time in the entertainment industry?
Even if you secretly wanted the other to die, you would still be smiling at each other on the surface.
So when Lin s.h.i.+heng denies that they were at odds with each other today, no matter how unhappy Zhao Xingguang was, he had to say something with a smile when asked by the media.
Something like, ‘Yes, that's right. We are not at odds with each other. Haha, those articles on the Internet are all rumors.'
If he dared to say that they really do have a bad relations.h.i.+p, the spit from the internet would spray him to death.
When someone said they had a good relations.h.i.+p with you, and you say you are at odds with each other, aren't you the one looking for trouble?
Bah, garbage!
Thinking of the outcome, Zhao Xingguang gritted his teeth again.
Why was Lin s.h.i.+heng so thick-skinned?
Unluckily, he had to follow in his lead.
Just when he thought about how he hated these scenarios the most, the man who was broadcasting live on the screen said confidently, “It's just my one-sided dislike for Zhao Xingguang. “
“He always has a good att.i.tude towards me."
Zhao Xingguang: “…”
Fans and pa.s.ser-bys sent various barrages of exclamations.
