“Nonsense!”
After reading a few comments, Mo Anqi couldn't bear to read any more. She turned to look at Jiang Se, who was holding the script, as if he was not affected by the words and actions of netizens at all.
There was also a group of Jiang Se's fans who firmly supported her, but amid the overwhelming scolding from netizens, these people's messages were quickly deleted.
Jiang Se didn't read the comments online, but from the look on Mo Anqi's face, he could guess how serious the situation was. He knew how much attacks would be attracted if the news that she "forced Liu Ye to film "Devil"" was spread by people with ulterior motives.
Xia Chaoqun made several phone calls and asked people to delete the comments.
The incident has caused a lot of buzz on the Internet and various rumors have emerged one after another, but the real news media has not followed suit. Instead, several media reporters called Century Galaxy and Xia Chaoqun's assistant Zhang Chi, hoping to get some information through Zhang Chi so that they can publish it as soon as possible.
Xia Chaoqun made separate phone calls to Yang Boxi and Zhao Rang, and half an hour later she sat down holding her phone.
Mo Anqi's face flushed and she gnashed her teeth in anger, but Jiang Se remained calm and was memorizing the lines from "The Devil".
"This matter has the shadow of a promotion company. I asked someone to track the IP address, and the server location shows that it is overseas."
It can be seen that the whole thing was premeditated. First, the news of Liu Ye and Jiang Se's cooperation was released to attract the attention of netizens and the media. After the matter became a big deal, the people from the promotion company came out and released a bunch of fabricated news.
It is precisely because Jiang Se's status is slightly lower than Liu Ye's in the cooperation between them that such originally unfounded speculation has caused a large number of netizens to speculate and believe it.
This matter is not good for Jiang Se, and it is obviously aimed at her.
The people behind the scenes may be trying to use public opinion to force Jiang Se and Liu Ye's first cooperation to come to an end.
"I guess the person who did this behind the scenes..."
Xia Chaoqun held his phone and tapped his thigh. Jiang Se finally looked away from the script and exchanged a glance with Xia Chaoqun. They both knew who had done it.
"Feng Nan."
Jiang Se continued what she said, and Xia Chaoqun nodded:
"Yes."
She folded her legs and changed to a comfortable sitting position:
"Jiangnan Entertainment initially tried to obtain the copyright of "Devil" but failed. In the end, Feng Nan reportedly wrote a script called "Revenge" himself."
Dong Mingsheng of Huatou withdrew his investment in "Beijing Events" at that time and invested in Feng Nan's new drama.
"Although Feng Nan has not revealed the content of Revenge so far, judging from the title, it is very likely to be a film of the same type as Devil. Jiangnan Entertainment has also been preparing for it. I have inquired about it, and it is very likely that they will also start filming this year."
In other words, the release dates of both parties' films are likely to coincide, which would give Feng Nan the motive to take action.
"I got some information. Feng Nan did have contact with a foreign promotion company half a month ago."
After Xia Chaoqun said this, Jiang Se became even more certain of his suspicion of Feng Nan.
She played the script and now she found it interesting. In fact, all the methods Feng Nan used from the beginning, such as instigating Zhu Pan and recommending herself to Jufeng Media, were low-level methods. They made her impatient and at the same time a little ridiculous.
These little actions were harmless and did not cause her any harm, but because of Feng Nan's identity, Jiang Se always felt disgusted.
At this time, Feng Nan's tactics were a little more sophisticated. She knew how to use indirect methods and other means to suppress her and hold her back so that she could take the position. Jiang Se felt much better.
"Feng Nan is up to something?"
Mo Anqi listened for a while and was puzzled:
"Could it be that she and Sese were both nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the previous film festival, and her role as Miss Jiangkou was compared to Sese's role as Doukou, so she wants to hold Sese back now?"
She frowned as she said this:
"Or, apart from these, does she have other grudges against you?"
For some reason, when Mo Anqi said this, Jiang Se always felt that Xia Chaoqun's expression when looking at him was meaningful.
She was still wondering if this was her illusion, but Xia Chaoqun had already clapped his hands and stood up:
"Okay, I've arranged interviews with several media outlets for you. In addition to the three most important mainstream media outlets, you can choose two more to be interviewed."
This incident caused a big stir on the Internet, but Xia Chaoqun was calm and composed, as if he had just encountered a trivial matter.
In Longxing Studio, the company boss and editor-in-chief were convening a meeting with reporters of all sizes in the studio to discuss the collaboration between Liu Ye and Jiang Se that had caused a big stir online.
Liu Ye and Century Galaxy had not yet released a press release, and the matter seemed confusing. The boss reached out and knocked on the table:
"As far as I know, Xia Chaoqun is planning to accept interviews from reporters. In addition to interviews from Huaxia Information, Times Entertainment and other three media outlets, he will also select two more media outlets for interviews. Everyone must strive to get this opportunity."
The boss was talking excitedly, but Tao Tao, who was sitting in the back, was distracted.
She frowned. The comments on the Internet seemed to be overwhelmingly unfavorable to Jiang Se, which made her a little worried.
From the time the incident happened until the boss called a meeting, Tao Tao had been quietly refreshing the webpage and paying attention to the updates of Jiang Se's official account, fearing that she had missed any news.
The endless insults made her feel sad. She had met Jiang Se twice and trusted him unconditionally, but Jiang Se was not that kind of person at all. The comments online made her so angry that she gritted her teeth.
The editor-in-chief was still telling everyone to make sure they tried their best to get this opportunity. Tao Tao took advantage of everyone's inattention and turned on her phone again. This time, she was perked up and suddenly screamed:
"Brother Fan!"
The editor-in-chief who was speaking was interrupted by her and his eyes fell on her with an unhappy look on his face.
The colleagues around her stared at her in surprise or worry, and even the boss frowned, looking a little stern.
Tao Tao came back to her senses and realized what she had done. She raised her phone without being afraid:
"My goddess has published a press release."
Her hands were still shaking, and she was obviously excited. She reached out to check Liu Ye’s official account again:
"Liu Ye has also spoken out. My goddess is innocent!"
When Tao Tao said this, he straightened his back and looked very proud:
"Look, Liu Ye's official account has sent a message!"
When everyone heard this, they hurried over to take a look. Liu Ye’s official account only had one message:
Rumors stop with the wise! (To be continued)
