Pei Yi's words gave Jiang Se an extremely warm feeling.
It was as if there was a storm outside, but he held up an umbrella to provide her with shelter and peace, making her feel protected by him and not afraid of the rumors.
This boy, who had always been younger than her in her psychological cognition, made her truly feel for the first time that he had grown from a bright boy into a broad-minded man.
At a time like this, when she was in trouble, she shouldn't have these romantic thoughts, but Jiang Se felt her cheeks getting slightly hot because Pei Yi said he was by her side.
The 'news' that Mo Anqi mentioned has spread all over the Internet.
After Feng Nan entered the entertainment industry, apart from the brief popularity of her role as 'Miss Jiangkou' in "Rescue Operation", she has not had any representative works since then.
The movies he shot didn't make a splash either. The play "Revenge" which he directed and acted in that year was forced to be withdrawn from the theaters shortly after its release because it was suppressed by "The Devil" starring Jiang Se in the same year, and ended in a disastrous failure. After that, many viewers and netizens have never even heard of the movies he participated in.
However, after she entered the entertainment industry, although she did not do well as a celebrity, her other identity was well-known.
The daughter of Zhongnan Industrial, and the once most beloved granddaughter of Feng Zhongliang, a revolutionary soldier who had made great military achievements in the past, this identity is much more famous than her identity as a celebrity.
Therefore, when she personally came forward and pointed out Jiang Se's "low status, poor character, and bad family environment", it was enough to attract people's attention.
One is a Chinese actress who has become very popular in recent years, and the other is a socialite from a prominent family. These two people, who should have nothing to do with each other, are likely to attract people's attention once they come into contact.
After Jiang Se hung up the phone, Mo Anqi opened the video she had received earlier and showed it to Jiang Se.
She had already thought of the worst outcome. There were not many things about Jiang Se that were worthy of criticism. When she was reborn, the original Jiang Se was at a crossroads in life and had just made a decision. She arrived cleverly, so that Jiang Se did not have time to make a mistake, drop out of school, and enter the entertainment industry.
The only thing that is worthy of attack is the mistake Jiang Zhiyuan made in the past.
"Jiang Se was born in a low-class family with a complicated family environment. Both of his biological parents are not good people. His mother got pregnant before marriage, and his father is even more of a scum and a villain..."
In the video, Feng Nan was interviewed by a Hong Kong magazine. When she mentioned Jiang Se, she was indignant and seemed to be filled with anger.
"She is uneducated and vicious. She doesn't deserve the attention of others or to be a public figure. For so many years, everyone has been deceived by her superficial appearance."
Mo Anqi had obviously seen this video, but when she watched it again, she was still angry because of Feng Nan's words.
Feng Nan in the video did not show any of the reserve and composure of a man from a prominent family, but instead looked a bit hysterical.
This video is about twenty seconds long, and Feng Nan stops abruptly halfway through his scolding.
After Jiang Se finished reading it, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
When she was watching this video, she was actually mentally prepared for Feng Nan to tell her that Jiang Zhiyuan had kidnapped 'her'.
But in the video, Feng Nan cursed for a long time but didn't say anything important.
"No more?"
She looked up and asked Mo Anqi, but Mo Anqi was confused:
“No more.”
These words were already too much in Mo Anqi's opinion. Jiang Se and Feng Nan had no grudges against each other. Although they both made their debut in the same movie, there had been no competition for resources since their debut.
Although after that, the interactions between Jiang Se and Feng Zhongliang were, in Mo Anqi's opinion, the only interactions between Jiang Se and Feng Nan. If you think about it carefully, there should be no conflicts between Feng Nan and Jiang Se.
But the daughter of Zhongnan Industrial has been targeting Jiang Se vaguely since her debut. During the release of "God's Redemption", she even accepted an interview with a tabloid and insulted Jiang Se with foul language, bringing shame to the Feng family.
Jiang Se vaguely felt that something was wrong. "Feng Nan's interview was too clever."
She frowned, and Mo Anqi put away her phone:
“This news has spread widely on the Internet.”
Jiang Se searched online himself and found that the news spread very quickly. China Information, Global Entertainment and other mainstream domestic media should have reported the news headline "Tao Cen sets up his own business and declares independence" at this time, but all major media reported at the same time: The daughter of Zhongnan Industrial said that Jiang Se was not worthy of being a public figure.
There were so many surprises tonight. First, "God's Redemption" premiered, and then Tao Cen announced that he would be leaving Century Galaxy. Before this matter could brew into a storm, it was overshadowed by the news of "Zhongnan Industrial's daughter tearing Jiang Se apart".
The last day of this year in China was extremely exciting for many people.
In the office building of Huaxia Information, the director looked helpless.
The last day of every year is the most headache for many journalists who write reports, as they don’t know what to write.
As the annual closing report, how to attract the attention of netizens and harvest traffic on the last day of the year with the most important and eye-catching exclusives is a must-do homework for every media.
But this year, not only do I not have to worry about having no news to write, but I am worried about what to write.
First, "God's Redemption" premiered, and the pre-sale box office broke the historical record. The blockbuster starring Jiang Se was nominated twice for the American Film Centennial Art History, and won the event's Best Film Award. It was a huge success in North America and also had a good start in China.
The most important thing is that at the premiere, Jiang Se rarely got angry and had a reporter who asked Tao Cen about the news and angered her kicked out.
Immediately afterwards, Tao Cen 'announced independence'. According to the latest news from media reporters, Century Galaxy's chairman Luo Yin also invested in her 'Kongzhao Media', accounting for % of the company's shares.
This piece of news was supposed to be the major headline tonight, and should have overshadowed the "Jiang Se kicking people out" incident. However, the staff of Huaxia Information were still working overtime to write and proofread the article, and before the news was sent out, a video about "Feng Nan scolding Jiang Se" suddenly appeared on the Internet, stealing all the limelight from Tao Cen.
In this way, the news of Tao Cen's "independence" was naturally nothing compared to this gossip, and everyone turned their attention to writing about this news.
After working for most of the day, everyone in the Huaxia Information office was sweating. Yu Zilin had been typing for a long time, and her arms and shoulders were sore. She paused her work, stretched, and stretched her muscles.
It was already past eleven o'clock, and colleagues in the office were still working overtime. Yu Zilin could only hear the sound of typing. Everyone was concentrating, and she suddenly spoke:
"I was originally transferred to the entertainment gossip group, and I thought it would be much easier and more interesting than my previous job, but it turned out to be even busier than before." Her words attracted everyone's attention, and many people stopped to take a breath. Yu Zilin glanced at the computer screen. There was still more than half an hour before the New Year's Eve, and she said inexplicably:
"What do you think? If we write this report now, will it be in vain? Maybe there will be more serious news tonight than what Feng Nan revealed?"
When everyone heard this, they all laughed and scolded:
"Every single one of the things that happened tonight is enough to make headlines. How could anything be bigger than this?"
No one believed her. The news that came to light tonight was already equal to the amount of major news in the past few months. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If there was another headline that could overshadow the one about 'Feng Nan scolding Jiang Se', "I'm afraid the higher-ups would have to release the news themselves."
A colleague joked that no one could think of any important news that would be worth Huaxia TV and the higher authorities personally announcing at this time, "unless some big shot gets married or divorced and announces it to the world."
"Even if someone wants to divorce, it's impossible to make it known to everyone. The more powerful the family, the more low-key they have to be in handling these matters."
There are older colleagues in the office, but I remembered one thing:
"I remember that thirty years ago, when the eldest son of General Pei's family got married, an announcement was made."
The colleague who was speaking was about 40 years old, and he still had vivid memories of what happened back then.
At that time, the media industry was not as developed as it is now, but the marriage of the eldest son of the Pei family was still very grand. In today's terms, it was also a wedding that attracted worldwide attention.
When it comes to the Pei family, everyone falls silent.
The Pei family has a long history and its origins can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty. They made great contributions during the war and were very prestigious after the war. As one of the few surviving generals in the country, Mr. Pei has extraordinary influence and it is not an exaggeration to call him a symbol of the national spirit.
If someone from the Pei family were to get married, not only would domestic newspapers make extensive reports, but foreign media would also follow up. Such news coverage would naturally not be comparable to entertainment gossip.
But at this time, the probability of the Pei family announcing the marriage of their descendants is too low.
After everyone in the Huaxia Information office discussed the gossip for a while, they all went back to their work.
The premiere of "God's Redemption" ended, and there was still half an hour before the movie was officially released. Mo Anqi was busy dealing with the news caused by Feng Nan and clearing up the aftermath of the matter.
This matter was neither big nor small, so Xia Chaoqun convened a video conference with the team members:
"I have roughly understood that the video recorded by Feng Nan is only half of it. Xu Yang wrote the draft first and contacted the lawyer to release a statement to make his position clear."
She ordered methodically:
"At the same time, write an article about how Feng Nan was temporarily taken away by the Feng family because of 'talking nonsense' during the interview. Mo Anqi and Chen Shan contacted major media outlets and sent out this article."
Jiang Se heard this and was a little skeptical:
"Was she really dragged away by the Feng family?"
Feng Nan's behavior was somewhat embarrassing, but he had no relatives or friends with the Feng family, and the Feng family was unlikely to be willing to take the blame.
Once Feng Nan confirmed that she was "kidnapped by the Feng family" during the interview, netizens would probably wonder if she had gone crazy and made up such a story.
When Jiang Se asked this, Xia Chaoqun glared at her in the video:
"No!"
After the accident, she called the Feng family, but the call didn't go through. Apparently, after the video of Feng Nan's interview went viral, people from all walks of life were calling the Feng family. The Feng family must be in an uproar by now.
Since the call couldn't go through, Xia Chaoqun simply gave up calling.
"At this point, regardless of whether the matter is true or false, no matter how it is clarified or explained later, it will be better than the current situation."
It would be best if the Feng family refuted it. Then, once the direction of public opinion changed, the topic would naturally shift from "Feng Nan accusing Jiang Se's father of being a scumbag" to the Feng family "denying Feng Nan is crazy" and suing all media outlets for talking nonsense.
In other words, no matter what, Xia Chaoqun decided to put the blame on the Feng family.
The moonlight is as bright as water tonight. No matter how turbulent the entertainment industry is, the noise cannot spread to every corner of the imperial capital.
In Jiang Zhiyuan's rental house, apart from a small single bed and an old table, the most eye-catching thing is a hanging sandbag, which is the exercise he has been practicing every day recently.
He lowered his head, his brows pressed down his beast-like eyes, stared at the sandbag, and sweat flowed down from his forehead in large streams, gathering into a river at his chin, flowing down bit by bit.
Every time he threw a punch, the force seemed to be enough to break the sandbag.
After resigning, he moved here and made a quick break with his previous life. He stopped surfing the Internet and listening to the news outside, and concentrated on doing his own thing.
There was a pile of papers spread out on the table, with some circuit diagrams drawn on them.
He was a little distracted tonight. He couldn't concentrate when practicing boxing. He clenched his fists very tightly. The boxing bandages on his hands loosened a little because of his punching movements. He held the sandbag, stopped panting, and felt like something was going to happen.
In just a few dozen minutes, news about whether Jiang Se was worthy of being a public figure, her background, and whether her parents' situation was as Feng Nan said, spread throughout the entire Internet.
There are only ten minutes left until New Year's Eve, and Jiang Se's social account is crowded with netizens leaving messages hoping to get a reply.
I came from the mountains: Did Tao Cen really leave Century Galaxy? Did you drive her away
Memory: "God's Redemption" is about to be released, Sese, do you see that I am supporting you
Chaos in Time and Space: Feng Nan from Zhongnan Industrial said that your father is a scumbag. Jiang Se, what do you think of what she said
A small path: Feng Nan said that you are not worthy of being a public figure, that you have a poor background and a bad character. Jiang Se, can you come out and give us an answer
It snowed this year: Feng Nan said that you have a low character, there is no smoke without fire!
Xiaobutian's mother: What on earth have you deceived the public about? Feng Nan said that you have a big secret that you haven't disclosed to the public. The public should have the right to know. I don't want to worship a star who is not worthy of my worship. I hope that if anyone knows, please tell me as soon as possible so that I can announce that I am no longer a fan!
…
Such news kept coming out. With five minutes left before midnight, Jiang Se's team had contacted a lawyer and wrote a manuscript, but it had not yet been published.
China News, Universal Entertainment, Longxing Studio and other domestic media, large and small, have already written their New Year's Eve articles and are confidently waiting for the moment when the clock strikes midnight to present the first headlines of the end of this year and the beginning of next year to the majority of netizens.
But at this time, all major media industries received a piece of news from above: the Chinese Ministry of Culture issued an urgent notice—the marriage of the third-generation heir of the Pei family, Changsun, has been announced! (To be continued)
