Chapter 114 Reversal
Lin Wanqing is so tired.
She never imagined that a simple visit to the film set would lead to two dramatic incidents.
These two incidents, coincidentally, broke out one after the other within a week two months later, and both used the gimmick of being cautious in speech to attract attention.
She should have gone with them in the first place; at least she could have been mentally prepared beforehand.
As soon as this incident came out, she became very nervous, even more so than when the elevator surveillance footage came out last time.
After discussing Xu Jinyan's love life, they've started discussing his character?
From the even bigger public opinion storm than before, she keenly sensed something was amiss.
She only gradually relaxed after learning the full story of what happened on set from Xu Jinyan and Xiao Zhou.
Looking at the persistently high popularity of the topic online, she couldn't help but sneer.
Given Xu Jinyan's excellent public image since her debut, this huge controversy is definitely fueled by her rivals.
There's no other reason than that our own artists are just too good.
It's already April 2016, and Xu Jinyan is still holding the top spot on the weekly charts. Plus, she has two theme songs from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" coming up next...
In addition, Xu Jinyan's performance in "Mushroom House" was also phenomenal, so people subconsciously expect Xu Jinyan to continue to win the championship, as if they are really creating a god.
In this situation, how should singers release songs, and how should newcomers make their mark?
Xu Jinyan has blocked too many people's paths, and this is even when he's too lazy to accept fashion, endorsement, or dating deals...
Therefore, they only intervened slightly in the previous elevator incident, since it was not a serious matter;
Now, they're truly shoulder to shoulder.
#Xu Jinyan's career has faltered?#
#Xu Jinyan's Smile#
#Character is revealed in the details#
#Emotional stress and loss of control#
Faced with the encouragement and support from various companies, Canglan, as one of the top four companies, was certainly not going to sit idly by. Knowing the truth, they also chose to add fuel to the fire!
He would stir up the topic, and if someone was being too harsh with their criticism, he would try to defend them; if someone was too protective, he would advise them to calm down.
In short, this incident has been kept in a state of great controversy, characterized by conflict without outright confrontation.
On the internet, it's often the case that 10% of people express 90% of the opinions.
As a result, Xu Jinyan's reputation has declined in the eyes of the public, but there are also people who support her.
As the matter unfolded, passersby also became involved, either actively or passively: What kind of person is Xu Jinyan?
……
……
The peak of a trending topic usually occurs 48 hours after it goes viral.
The actors in the "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" production team began to leak information under the director's arrangement.
They haven't been completely spared these past two days either; comments from Hu Ke, Li Yitong, Mao Xiaotong, Dilraba, and others have all asked:
"What exactly happened on set?"
What do you think of Xu Jinyan's smile at that time?
"Are you all unwilling to offend Xu Jinyan? If so, then you should just keep quiet!"
"..."
Dilraba was the first to take action, directly liking the comment "What do you think of Xu Jinyan's smile at that time?"
Netizens: "..."
What is she doing?
A slip of the hand?!
But after waiting a while, the like still didn't disappear. So...
#Dilraba praises Xu Jinyan's smile#
One minute they're giving a thumbs up, the next they're making arrangements.
In the internet age, everything moves so fast!
"Holy crap, is there a plot twist?!"
"Reverse your mother's money, you two scoundrels! You can't sleep in the same bed and still be two different kinds of people!"
"Is Dilraba experiencing a love-struck episode?"
"Is this some kind of suicide pact?"
"..."
"...The other actors also liked it!"
"..."
"I told you so, I told you so, there must be something going on."
"Hats, are you ready to apologize?"
"Damn it, Kuroko, come out and say something!"
"The facts are still unclear, so what's with all the shouting? Anyway, I'm no longer a fan."
"..."
With the lead actors personally getting involved, the hot topic was suddenly dampened, or rather...
—The phrase "to stop boiling water by adding more water" would be a more apt description.
Everyone was just stunned for a moment; an explanation is still necessary!
So, after two busy days in the editing room, Director Hu, who was focused on his work and never saw the light of day, gave an interview.
"I am angry!"
This was the first righteous and stern sentence that Director Hu uttered in front of the camera.
"At the same time, I also feel very guilty!"
Looking at Director Hu's expression on the screen, Xu Jinyan suddenly had a thought: "A veteran actor is a veteran actor!"
"There was indeed a minor accident on set during filming, but no one was injured!"
"Therefore, I earnestly requested everyone not to publicize it, so as to avoid any negative impact."
"But I never expected that an early holiday would cause such a huge uproar!"
The reporters exchanged bewildered glances and couldn't help but ask, "Director Hu, are the photos real? So many medical personnel were on site, yet no one was injured?"
A flash of anger crossed Director Hu's eyes, but he quickly calmed down: "The photos... are indeed real, but no one was injured!"
The scene was quiet for a moment.
A reporter asked, "Director Hu, do you think Xu Jinyan's behavior in one of the photos was inappropriate?"
Director Hu: "I think..."
The audience in front of the screen perked up, finally getting to the point. It's normal for accidents to happen on set, and even major accidents have happened before.
However, no matter what, Xu Jinyan's smile at the scene was inappropriate!
No matter what reasonable explanation Director Hu gives, Xu Jinyan will find it difficult to escape unscathed.
"I think... my opinion is not important," Director Hu said firmly. "The truth is the most important thing."
"First of all, I want to apologize to Jinyan. I didn't expect things to develop this way. If I had known... sigh, I should have watched the video first!"
Then, the entire video of the accident was shown on the screen:
From the director's shout of "Action!", the horses went out of control... screams erupted... Li Yitong and Mao Xiaotong turned pale and stiffened... Xu Jinyan caught them with both hands and kicked with his left leg... Hu Ke fell from the horse... Xu Jinyan caught him again in mid-air, and Hu Ke landed safely...
Chaos broke out on set. Two girls hugged each other and cried. Director Hu anxiously looked for medical personnel, and Hu Ke lay on the ground to be examined...
As for Xu Jinyan, he was just standing to the side playing around as if nothing had happened... and even smiled!
The truth has come out!!!
Reporters: "..."
"I'd like to ask a question," Director Hu said, ignoring the stunned reporters, and addressed the camera:
"Xu Jinyan...can you smile now?"
……
……
#Xu Jinyan...Can I smile now?#
"Cool--"
"Damn, that was awesome!"
"So cool!!!"
"What does it mean to 'disappear after accomplishing one's task, concealing one's merits and fame'?"
"Why is he laughing? He just suddenly remembered something happy—his wife is giving birth. Is that...okay?!"
"I replayed those few seconds thirty times, at half speed—it was as graceful as a startled swan, as lithe as a swimming dragon… I just couldn't stop watching!"
"He really knows kung fu!"
"Strength enough to freeze Hu Ke in mid-air, speed enough to match a horse, and reaction speed enough to save three people in a second—what kind of physical abilities are these?!"
"Xu Jinyan's expression remained calm throughout; the biggest fluctuation was actually in her smile!"
"I can't take it anymore, I'm going to climax! I didn't use any props! Really!"
"Damn it, haters, come out and apologize!"
"Xu Jinyan...can smile now!"
"..."
