Chapter Eighty

  Generally speaking, the best way to shift people's attention from one piece of news is to reveal another bigger piece of news, and it's best if the two are of the same nature.

  Xu Qianqian's news came too coincidentally, but this is only the case for people in the circle - while for ordinary audiences, they just feel that these days the entertainment industry has been stormy and bloody, with one wave after another. They haven't even had time to digest the previous thing, and the next big thing happened so gorgeously.

  For a time, there were many different opinions and rumors flying about.

  Some people say that "Entertainment Circle Exploration" is actually the pseudonym of Wang Pai, a paparazzo from Yun Cloud Workshop, who is currently the most famous in the industry. He had previously deleted his Weibo account because he received threats from IM company and temporarily went into hiding to avoid trouble. Now that the timing is right, he plans to make a strong comeback with Xu Qianqian's video.

  Some people say that behind the exploration of the entertainment circle is a powerful team, clearing Weibo is just a phased strategy, and the consequences of releasing this video are extremely serious. He was just giving himself time to fade out of people's sight before this.

  Some people say that the entertainment circle detective is no longer the original Po master, this technical emperor has used software to check the IP of the person who posted the video, and it's not the same person as before - the previous one is probably already dead, now this account is just being reused by someone with ulterior motives...

  However, Xu Qianqian's video made this Weibo account, which had lost a lot of followers, popular again.

  The video was forwarded 3 million times within three hours of its release, broke through the 7 million mark in ten hours, and directly exceeded 15 million forwards after twenty-four hours——such data is extremely rare even in the history of Weibo. At first, people couldn't even click on the video to watch it normally because too many people were clicking on the video at the same time, causing several servers of Sina's server to go down.

  For a time, public opinion on the internet pushed Xu Qianqian to the forefront, with countless netizens who were originally busy attacking Xu Wenjie rushing to leave comments on her Weibo.

  [Netizen "Little Pig NiNi"]: Dear, please answer a question straightforwardly. After work that day, instead of going home, where did your mother rush to on the top floor of the film and television company?

  [Netizen "Luoke"]: If you're not from the same family, don't enter the same door. You and your brother Xu Wenjie are a perfect match made in heaven, what kind of lowlife would do something so crazy?

  Netizen "Charles SiSi": I believe you Qianqian, I believe you just went to the rooftop to get some fresh air and didn't do anything else.

  【Netizen "Forever Qianqian"】: You people should use your brains a bit, can't you? Just seeing something and blindly following the trend is really enough. Qianqian is already very popular, she really doesn't need to become a murderer to make herself even more popular - let alone whether a normal person could do such a thing! Tell me, what does she gain from doing this?

  【Netizen "Liu Ba Shou"】: For the movie "The Mysterious Seed", I'm still wondering why she was chosen for the role - didn't you see how smugly she announced that the role belonged to her when the incident happened? Please give me a thumbs up and let "Eternal Qianqian" see this.

  There are many comments like this, which can be said to be a variety of voices coming together. Xu Qianqian's first Weibo post was just the other day, posting a contract photo about "Mysterious Seeds", and most ironically, this Weibo also @ed Jin Yan.

  Many people scolded in the comments below and after scolding, they didn't forget to sigh: You still dare to @Yuan Jinran, where is your face?

  Above.

  The video of the entertainment circle's investigation successfully shifted at least two-thirds of people's attention directly to Xu Qianqian, while Xu Wenjie on the other side was not scolded by many people. Although there are still some □□ people who come to his Weibo every day to punch in and report, the number of comments is decreasing gradually, which can be seen with the naked eye - even if they scold, they don't forget to bring Xu Qianqian together.

  No choice, compared with Xu Wenjie, Xu Qianqian is at least one or two levels more popular.

  To quote Li Gouhai comrade: Before I went to sleep, the whole world was still scolding Xu Wenjie; after waking up, you all formed a team and ran to Xu Qianqian's house to smash her windows.

  ……

  Li Dog's joke, but who can see that under such a joking tone is actually what kind of bloody storm.

  These days, Xu Qianqian simply stayed in her hotel room in H City and did not go out. Every day, there were paparazzi waiting 24 hours a day at the bottom of the hotel building. Fortunately, Xu Qianqian was staying in a five-star international chain hotel with relatively complete security management; otherwise, those reporters would have probably burst into her hotel room by now. Xu Wenjie also suspended his work on filming "Star Fire", and he himself became thinner and paler than before at an alarming rate.

  The only ones who can enter and exit Xu Qianqian and Xu Wenjie's respective rooms every day are their agents. Judging from their worried expressions, things are not going smoothly. Meanwhile, Xu Qianqian's economic company has remained silent and hasn't made any statements...

  Xu Wenjie is nothing, Xu Qianqian was their cash cow before this, the company didn't care about her, compared to now it's also hard to protect themselves. People are guessing if the boss of this entertainment company is having a bad year, otherwise it's really inexplicable why their artists would die one after another in just a few months.

  And on the other side, because Xu Qianqian is a first-line big flower in the circle after all, this matter has also attracted widespread attention from major economic companies in the circle. For example, Jian Ran saw a mass email sent by the company's high-level executives in his mailbox on the day Xu Qianqian's video was released.

  The email clearly states that before the police provide conclusive evidence, all public figures must uphold their responsibility to have a certain influence and guidance on social public opinion. No company employees or artists under contract are allowed to forward Weibo posts related to Xu Wenjie and Xu Qianqian, nor are they allowed to express any biased opinions in any public setting.

  I believe other entertainment companies' artists probably received similar treatment: after all, when this matter was so sensationalized, everyone in the entertainment industry remained silent. Netizens who couldn't see the excitement were naturally dissatisfied, so apart from going to Xu Qianqian's Weibo every day to scold her, they didn't forget to go to Jiang Luocheng, Luo Ni and other "best friends" of Xu Qianqian's circle to mock and ridicule them.

  This is very similar to the pattern of being bombarded by public opinion when Jiangkui was criticized back then.

  Just thinking about those public opinions that were fabricated by Xu Qianqian's economic company at the time, I feel relieved now: "Evil will be repaid, retribution always comes especially quickly."

  At that time, Jiang Chuan was sitting next to him holding his computer watching a movie. Upon hearing this, he turned his head and glanced at him: "You seem so excited as if you had witnessed my miserable situation with your own eyes."

  Jǐn rán:“…………”

  He really wanted to tell Jiang Chuan that he not only witnessed it but also used his own face to block an egg for him!!!!!!!!!!

  Unfortunately, Jiang Chuan casually threw out such a sentence and then turned his head to watch his movie, seemingly completely ignoring the black-haired young man's twisted and distorted facial expression. Jian Ran was alone for a while, finally having no choice but to squeeze over and watch the movie shoulder-to-shoulder with Jiang Chuan. Jiang Chuan was watching a foreign suspense film, a particularly bloody one. When the killer smiled sinisterly as he dug out the male lead's internal organs, the female lead screamed loudly as she let go. At that moment, Jian Ran's phone in his pocket rang.

  He was so startled that he almost jumped up from the sofa.

  Jiang Chuan turned around with a hint of a smile and threw out a sentence, "Your guts are only as big as a mouse's." In the midst of his stunned expression, she reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone, took a glance at the incoming call display. He was taken aback for a moment before instinctively pressing pause on the movie that was playing at a thrilling scene.

  Jian Ran: "Huh?"

  Jiang Chuan held out his mobile phone: "It's Xu Qianqian."

  Jian Ran: "……………………"

  Uncertain whether his own awkward phobia would recur at this time, he hesitated for a long time, until the phone rang almost to the point of automatic disconnection, and then he snatched the phone from Jiang Chuan's hand with a determined look.

  The man slightly raised his eyebrows, seemingly finding it quite interesting as he watched the black-haired young man awkwardly unlock his phone and put it to his ear, saying "hello".

  The reaction on the other end of the phone was unexpected - Jian Yan had even prepared himself for Xu Qianqian's scolding, but instead, there was a long silence after the call was connected. Just when Jian Yan thought she might have accidentally answered the phone, the sound of a beer can being twisted open suddenly came from the other end, followed by a burst of noise, and then the originally eerie quietness on the other end of the phone was replaced by the low sobbing of a woman.

  Cried like a female ghost.

  The young black-haired man who had just finished watching a thriller film was so startled that he almost threw his phone directly at the face of the man sitting opposite him. At this time, the other party saw him twitching like a child with epilepsy and was speechless, thinking that it was that woman who said something earth-shattering again to scare this "guy with a smaller temper than a mouse". He frowned, reached out and snatched his phone, held it to his ear, and heard a super loud nose-blowing sound on the other end, followed by a burst of sobbing.

  Gang Chuan: “………”

  His expressionless face twitched slightly, revealing an equally speechless expression like the young black-haired man in front of him, as Jiang Chuan returned the snatched phone to its original owner.

  Die together with a calm and clever mobile phone turned on public mode.

  When Xu Qianqian sobbed and spoke in a drunken tone, saying "Sorry, Jin Yan", her voice echoed in the room. Jiang Chuan glanced at Jin Yan, his azure eyes flickering, then as Xu Qianqian continued to make "Woo woo" noises, he bent down and rummaged under the coffee table in front of the sofa, finally pulling out a pair of earphones and putting them on himself.

  “…………”

  His eyebrows almost flew to his forehead, he threw the phone behind him, which was still transmitting murmurs of "I didn't mean to" and other sounds, slightly lifted his butt, stretched out his hand to grab Jiang Chuan's earphones.

  The latter dodged nimbly and continued playing the paused movie with one hand. By this time, Jin Yan had almost ridden onto his body. With an extra large pendant-like man on him, he was also annoyed. He opened a document and typed in a line of words, then pinched the chin of the young black-haired man and turned his head towards the computer screen.

  He turned his head to take a look at the few Chinese characters on the screen, took in a breath of cold air and almost died. The words Jiang Chuan had typed on the computer were -

  You've asked for trouble yourself, so you'd better kneel down and listen to her cry until she's finished.

  His lips twitched and he finally couldn't help but curse: "Damn it..."

  The man pressed his index finger to his lips in a silencing gesture - but it was clearly too late, for the crying on the other end of the phone had abruptly stopped behind Jian Ran.

  "Thus:" "……………"

  Jiang Chuan silently let out a sigh.

  Xu Qianqian seemed to have cried enough on the other side, she sobbed heavily and said in a very pitiful voice: "Jin, Jinran, I know that taking away Jiang Luocheng is my fault, I know that competing with you for the role of 'Mysterious Seed' is beyond my abilities, I'm no match for you... Whether it's Jiang Luocheng or those people from Hollywood, from start to finish they wanted you... Waaahhh, it's all my fault, I was too arrogant, it's really all my fault, I shouldn't have tried to take away things that didn't belong to me in the first place..."

  He quietly followed with a sigh, only to feel that his head was hurting to death - although he was an unadulterated gay, this did not mean that he was different from those ordinary straight men who were not afraid of women's tears. He suppressed the urge to hang up the phone directly and said: "Xu Qianqian, are you drunk?"

  "I, I didn't get drunk." Xu Qianqian said while hiccuping, "This time I called you, it's a sincere apology, please forgive me... You just need to tell the media that your accident happened within less than one minute, my elevator was willing to..."
