Chasing the Light

Chapter 112: Press Conference

Views:

Today is Monday. People who get up early to go to work check their phones while brushing their teeth, eating breakfast, and taking the subway. Three nights and two days have passed since the group fight on the set of "72 Hours" broke out, but there is still no official statement. The crew and the actors involved are collectively silent, and there are only so-called latest reports sent back by some reporters. Lawyers have been dispatched to analyze the case from a legal perspective and predict the results. Big Vs have issued fierce and very inflammatory condemnations. Whoever is more sharp will gain more attention. Netizens have also become guardians of justice. Those who are good at speaking leave comments, and those who are not good at speaking watch silently. In the spirit of attention is support for justice, this incident can be called the biggest melon of the year, and the whole network is eating melons.

At half past eight, Lu Jinyi and Xie Fangfei came to the police station and asked to get their cameras and mobile phones back. The police officer who received them confirmed their ID cards and press cards and returned their things to them. The two checked and found that only the photos and videos of Su Ran and the man were missing, and everything else was still there.

At noon, when everyone had finished a morning's work and were preparing to eat and rest, the police station's official Weibo account finally spoke up and announced the results of the investigation.

The authorities claimed that this incident was a mass incident caused by an economic dispute. The crew of "72 Hours" rented an abandoned factory to build a studio, but the owner of the site regretted it later, thinking that the rent paid by the crew was too little, so they gathered local hooligans to retaliate against the crew. The crew members were acting in self-defense and were released without charge. The leader of the riot and related persons involved in the case have been detained for investigation. The official Weibo also posted the complete surveillance video.

As soon as the official Weibo account spoke, netizens immediately felt a pain in their faces. The last time they were slapped in the face was when Su Ran was in a car accident, which had just happened not long ago. They always thought that this time there was a video of the fight, and the evidence was solid and irrefutable, and there was no way it could be wrong again, but in the end they were slapped in the face again.

From this complete surveillance video, it can be seen that it was indeed the locals who started the trouble first, molesting Ye Dansha while drunk. Moreover, as soon as the conflict occurred, more than 20 locals rushed over with iron bars in their hands and attacked the crew members indiscriminately, regardless of whether they were men, women, or old.

In the previous video, because the iron rod was taken away by the crew, the scene became that both sides had iron rods, so netizens thought that the iron rod originally belonged to the crew.

You don't need to watch anything else, just watching the video will make it clear what is right and what is wrong.

Immediately afterwards, the "72 Hours" crew also posted a message on Weibo: The crew will hold a press conference at 1:00 p.m., which will be broadcast live on the entire network.

The crew deliberately chose to hold the press conference during the lunch break so that more people could see it first.

At one o'clock, the live broadcast started on time.

Several main creators of the crew, as well as director Chen Mo and producer Zhao Pinlin were present. In the camera, except for Su Ran and Ye Dansha, who had no obvious scars, the other male actors who participated in the fight all had bruises and swollen faces, and looked quite miserable.

Zhao Pinlin arrived last night and hosted the press conference.

There are dozens of reporters on the scene today, and all major media outlets across the country have sent reporters.

Su Ran was the focus of this incident, so when it came to the question-and-answer session, the reporter asked Su Ran questions first.

"Ms. Su Ran, we saw your heroic performance in the video. What were you thinking at the time? What prompted you to come forward?"

Su Ran smiled slightly: "Everyone was very brave, especially the men. They worked hard to protect us girls. No one ran away or begged for mercy. Unfortunately, there were too many people on the other side, so we girls could only find ways to protect ourselves. Maybe it was because I reacted quickly and stood up first, so you saw it. In fact, the girls were very brave. We were united and worked together. In the end, none of the seven of us girls were injured. We are very lucky."

Another reporter asked: "Ms. Su Ran, in the last car accident, you risked your life to save others. Were you always such a kind-hearted person, or did you do this deliberately in order to make a comeback?"

This question was very hurtful. Ning Xi, who was sitting below, almost stood up and cursed. Would you really use such a risky way to whitewash yourself

Zhao Pinlin took the microphone and wanted to condemn the reporter for his ill intentions, but he only heard Su Ran say, "Time reveals a person's true character. You can't judge a person by just one moment. Besides, what everyone sees and thinks is not necessarily the truth. Didn't the car accident and this conflict prove that? So, don't jump to conclusions. The truth may be late, but it will definitely come."

"Ms. Su Ran, do you mean that there is a hidden story behind the donation fraud? Then why didn't you come out to clarify it at the time?" another reporter asked.

"I said, the truth will be late, but it will definitely come. Please ask other questions or ask other people. Otherwise, friends who are watching the live broadcast will think this is my personal press conference. Thank you!" Su Ran said with a polite smile.

"Ms. Su Ran..."

"Ms. Su Ran..."

The reporters raised their hands one after another, still wanting to ask Su Ran questions.

Zhao Pinlin said, "We are holding a press conference today to explain the fight to the majority of netizens. We will not answer questions that are not related to this incident. If you have no other questions, then the press conference ends here."

"I want to ask Shen Yifeng a question."

The reporters had no choice but to let Su Ran go, shift their focus and ask other people questions.

Thank you Yangyangyang, Chu Qianmo and Su Xiaohuan for your tips! I'm asking for your recommendation votes, as the number of recommendation votes is a bit pitiful during this period.
