Are you trying to force me to become a star?

Chapter 113 Controversy

"Chen Xiang, Chen Xiang, great news!"

Seeing his agent so excited, Chen Xiang wondered if what he had experienced these past few days was all a dream, and that nothing had actually happened.

The full version of the video had just been released when it became a trending topic.

He mustered immense courage to read the comments from netizens for a while... but only lasted three minutes!

Then she left everything to her agent, quit the internet, and told him not to bother her unless it was something important.

Just a few days later, he stared intently at Brother Wang... Could it really be a dream?

But his agent's words shattered his hopes: "Something terrible happened on the set of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'! The reason Mao Xiaotong went home that day was because the crew gave them an early holiday!"

Chen Xiang slumped back onto the sofa. "What does that have to do with me?"

Brother Wang clicked his tongue: "To cover up one scandal, you need an even bigger one!"

He's been worried these past few days; Chen Xiang has been completely ruined by this wave of attacks.

In particular, the whistleblower's use of Xu Jinyan to create suspense caused the hype to reach its peak, leaving no room for maneuver.

He's so busy trying to create a news story that he doesn't even have time to think about it!

Chen Xiang's eyes lit up slightly: "Is this a big deal?"

Brother Wang nodded: "It should be quite significant. It was only because of your incident that everyone's attention was drawn back to February 5th, and some clues were discovered."

Then, he showed Chen Xiang some photos of the scene that had been released from various sources.

In one photo, Director Hu is covered in dirt, clutching his waist, his face showing extreme panic.

In one photo, Hu Ke is lying on the ground, with two people in white coats examining his body with serious expressions.

The third photo is the first leaked picture of the chaotic scene on set.

The three photos were taken from unprofessional angles and were not clear, but it was clear who was involved and what happened—they were obviously "secretly taken".

This caused an uproar among netizens.

Two news stories actually broke out on the same day, and they even seemed to have some causal relationship.

Especially the news from the set of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," you should know that the third picture showed more than a dozen people in white coats. How many people were injured?

Besides, if it were a minor matter, would Director Hu be so flustered?

Chen Xiang: "What's the production team saying now? What's the online buzz like?"

Brother Wang smiled and said, "The production team hasn't released a statement yet, they've only denied the rumors of a death, so everyone's attention has shifted to that."

"And...and it seems Xu Jinyan is involved again."

Chen Xiang asked, "What do you mean?"

Brother Wang zoomed in on the details in several photos for him. "Look," he said, "how are the expressions on the other people's faces different from Xu Jinyan's?"

"The other people's expressions... were anxious and worried."

Chen Xiang looked closely, "But Xu Jinyan's expression is rather calm... Holy crap, he's smiling in this photo! He actually smiled at a time like this!"

He looked at Brother Wang in disbelief: "Isn't it? I'm not seeing things, am I?!"

"Haha, that's right," Brother Wang nodded excitedly, "Netizens have sharp eyes; they won't miss any detail."

"He had this kind of expression when an accident happened on set and someone was injured!"

"Hmph! I wonder if netizens think his character is worse, or yours... cough cough, anyway, this is going to be interesting!"

Chen Xiang didn't pay attention to his words; he was also looking forward to it.

Whether he can help distract most netizens or he blocks him directly during the previous controversy, he is looking forward to it!

……

……

Sure enough, before the production team could issue a specific explanation or statement, Xu Jinyan's smile sparked intense controversy:

"You really do see a person's character in the details!"

"Is this something Xu Jinyan would do?"

"The question should be: What adult could do something like this?"

"Holy crap, my romanticized view of Xu Jinyan has completely shattered."

"You're being too hasty. We don't know anything yet. The production team hasn't said anything."

"These few photos say it all."

"Maybe it's not that serious. If there were really any major casualties, the production team wouldn't have kept it a secret until today."

"This is not a question of how many casualties there are, but a question of a person's most basic conscience."

"A major accident happened on set, everyone was anxious and worried. So many medical staff in white coats had already arrived, and he was still laughing like that? This is terrifying!"

"This is a serious lack of empathy, and a manifestation of his cold and selfish character."

"This kind of person, really, should be kicked out of the entertainment industry! He's even more despicable than Chen Xiang!"

"You guys should just shut up already! Since her debut, when has Xu Jinyan never been kind to anyone?"

"Based on what he said during the first recording of 'Mushroom House,' he must be a very gentle person."

Even if we take a step back and assume that Xu Jinyan is still a student who hasn't graduated from university, he actually has very little social experience.

"The laughter in this situation may be a stress-induced emotional breakdown. Many people experience emotional dissociation and abnormal laughter in this chaotic state."

"Still washing your face?! Have you no shame?!"

"..."

"After nearly a year since my debut, I've finally encountered huge controversy," Xu Jinyan muttered to herself.

The moment he bound himself to this emotion system, he knew that the entertainment industry was the perfect place for him.

Feuds, drama, rivals, haters... the possibilities are endless!

Unfortunately, his character was too noble, so the first controversy since his transmigration came later than he had expected.

This was a rare opportunity, and it was all thanks to Director Hu's methods.

Look at their hype, it's like a gazelle hanging its horns, flawless!

Using the incident involving Chen Xiang and Mao Xiaotong as a starting point, the novel uses only a few pictures to bring together all six elements of a novel: time, place, characters, cause, process, and result.

On February 5th, an accident occurred on the set of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," resulting in multiple injuries. Director Hu was anxious, everyone was worried, and a doctor arrived.

He also left a hook about "be careful what you say and laugh," which successfully attracted the widest attention.

Even if Xu Jinyan is cursed by thousands and scorned by tens of thousands, Director Hu doesn't care.

After the full video is released, everyone will understand why Xu Jinyan was able to laugh at that time!

They also took the opportunity to shift their focus to the upcoming TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Xu Jinyan studied it for a while and inexplicably felt that it looked somewhat familiar.

Holy crap! Isn't this just another version of the elevator surveillance scam?

Just as he was feeling sentimental, his phone received a video call—from Xiaotian.

"What's wrong, Oda?"

Seeing that Xu Jinyan remained calm, Tian Xiwei said gently, "I believe you!"

Xu Jinyan raised an eyebrow: "What do you believe in me?"

Xiaotian smiled and said, "No matter what happens, I believe in you!"

No matter what others say, she will always remember that morning in "Big Fish," and she believes that Xu Jinyan is still the same gentle man she always was.

Xu Jinyan looked at the phone that had been hung up after she finished speaking, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

Even if she didn't say it, he already knew. He was fully aware of how everyone connected to him treated him.

But when she actually called him on video and said "I believe in you," he was deeply moved.

Then, Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, even Meng Ziyi, as well as some male friends, all sent greeting messages.

Based on their understanding of Xu Jinyan, they all believed that something must have happened that they were unaware of.

Meng Ziyi said, "Jinyan, I believe you. You are a kind-hearted person. I'm very good at judging people!"

Zhao Liying: "Do you have time today? I'm at home!"

[Emotional Skynet]: Yang Mi will arrive on the battlefield in 5 minutes, please get ready!

He sighed deeply: "The kindness of this beauty is immense!"
