The Butterfly Effect

Chapter 84: Brewing

Views:

Two days later, Zhou Yanqing never got a reply from Meng Shiping. Similarly, Meng Shiping never mentioned anything related to the script to him. All in all, it was as if buying the script for Fang had never happened.

But this didn't make Zhou Yan breathe a sigh of relief, but made him more uneasy, as if a knife was hanging above his head, and it hadn't fallen for a long time.

Zhou Yanqing couldn't figure out whether Meng Shiping was hanging him on purpose and waiting for him to let go, or whether he had given up completely. With this uneasiness in mind, he welcomed the first opportunity to follow Song Yu into the film crew after joining the company—Song Yu wanted to play a cameo role in a TV series filmed by director Qi Chuan.

This incident was already two years ago in Song Yu's memory, and he didn't remember it for a long time. Meng Shiping told him that Qi Chuan had personally called to ask about the schedule, and he suddenly remembered that he had indeed played such a cameo role back then.

Although there are relatively few guest roles, it still takes two days to complete the filming. There are still a few days to spare before the recording of the next issue of "Returning to the Garden", so the schedule is decided like this.

Surprisingly, Meng Shiping accompanied him this time.

On the night when the itinerary was finalized, the three of them arrived at the large film and television base in Beijing by plane.

Song Yu's role was originally on the second night, but he went to the set early the next morning, mainly to say hello to the crew.

Qi Chuan is filming a historical group drama. It just so happens that today's scene is very important, and most of the main actors are on standby on set.

When they arrived at the set, the seniors in the production crew greeted Song Yu affectionately and called "Xiao Song" and pulled him to ask about his recent situation, while the younger generation took the initiative to greet him, calling "Teacher Song" and "Brother Song".

Zhou Yanqing followed Song Yu's side step by step, and he truly experienced Song Yu's popularity as an actor in the circle. Song Yu is not the most popular in the industry, and certainly not the oldest, but his calmness, humility, and kindness always make people yearn for him.

Seeing Song Yu's popularity, Zhou Yanqing felt a sense of pride and sadness at the same time. He couldn't help but think of the magnificent scene where many celebrities, media and people in the society spontaneously posted blogs to mourn Song Yu after his death.

Acting star is a very criticized profession, but Song Yu won unanimous respect after his death by virtue of his unique charm.

In order not to affect the normal work of the crew, Song Yu left the shooting scene after saying hello, and he came to hang out beside the artificial lake in the film and television base.

In addition to the period of rest before rebirth, he hadn't set foot on the set for half a year, and he stepped into this familiar land again after half a year, which made him full of melancholy. Learning to act as an actor is not his own subjective wish. He can't say how much he loves it, but he can't say he hates it. When he stands at the end of his life and thinks back on his life, this career that he doesn't love is actually what he misses the most.

"Do you still miss this place?" Meng Shiping asked with his back leaning against the fence of the artificial lake.

Song Yu put his hands on the fence, he looked at a small hillside with no characteristics in the distance, and sighed: "I miss it."

Standing in the distance, Zhou Yanqing saw a glimmer of light in Song Yu's eyes.

The filming of the crew went smoothly. In the past two days, Zhou Yanqing felt the rigorous and solemn atmosphere of the formal crew for the first time, and also saw Song Yu's wonderful performance as a professional actor in front of the camera up close. Because of Song Yu's relationship, Zhou Yanqing also had a conversation with director Qi Chuan. He was overjoyed, and his excitement overwhelmed the restlessness in his heart.

This trip to the crew not only taught Zhou Yanqing a lot, but also gave him a lot of creative inspiration. On the night he returned to S City, he opened the long-sealed "Keep in touch" with great interest. In the early morning, he fell contentedly on the table and fell into a deep sleep. He didn't know that a storm was about to submerge him while he was in a dream.

In the evening two days later, there was still half an hour before get off work. Because it has entered the severe winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and the weather is not good today, the sky is already dark, and the bright city night lights are turned on one after another.

Zhou Yan frowned slightly and stared at the computer. He was conceiving a script when the phone on the desktop vibrated suddenly. He picked it up after being startled. It was Monica who forwarded a web link to him.

Before opening it, Monica sent another message.

[Xiao Zhou, look quickly!]

From the three exclamation marks, you can fully feel Monica's anxiety, Zhou Yan grunted lightly, and quickly opened the link.

What Monica sent was a post on a certain petal website, with a few large characters on the title:

[Help! I was molested by Song Yu's assistant!]

With a "buzz" in his mind, Zhou Yanqing stared at the phone screen for a long time before realizing that the "Assistant Song Yu" in the post was referring to him, and he swipe the screen nervously and confusedly to check the text of the post.

A user called "Song Yu's little follower" tearfully told his terrible experience, Zhou Yanqing skipped the foreshadowing and dragged to the main text.

[A few days ago I learned that Song Yu had a cameo role in a famous director's crew, so I followed the fan group to visit the crew. That day we waited in an orderly manner outside the studio until nine o'clock in the evening, and finally waited until Song Yu got off work and returned to the hotel.

Song Yu was very kind and signed autographs for each of our fans. Because there were a lot of people and the road was icy and slippery, I accidentally slipped and sprained my foot while delivering gifts to Song Yu. Later, Song Yu's manager, Mr. Meng, saw that I was injured and had no friends to accompany me to take care of me, so he arranged for his assistant, Mr. Zhou, to take me to the hospital and then back to the hotel.

After Zhou sent me back to the hotel room, he forced me to stay in the room for half an hour on the grounds that he was waiting for my friend with me. During this half hour, he kissed me and took off my clothes many times. If my friend came in time, I would probably be violated by Zhou.

After Zhou left, he tried to comfort me with words on WeChat, probably hoping that I would not call the police (this is my personal guess), but because I was too scared, I deleted him after chatting for a few words.

I'm still young and don't know what to do. My friend said that this kind of case may not be filed even if I call the police, so I can only muster up the courage to ask for help online. I hope everyone can help me.

Finally, I would like to declare that this matter has nothing to do with Song Yu himself! Everything is the personal behavior of assistant Zhou.

If there is a victim who has been deceived by Zhou like me, I hope everyone will come forward to identify him and let him accept the punishment he deserves.]

Attached to the post are two screenshots of chat records, as well as several hotel surveillance screenshots.

Zhou Yanqing bit his lower lip hard, forcing himself to remain calm and rational, and he swipe the screenshots one by one.

In the first two screenshots of the chat history, there were only a few rounds of dialogue. He asked the girl who posted the post if her friend had gone to find her. Sprained, and kindly reminded the girl to change her dressing tomorrow.

Several screenshots of the hotel surveillance show him helping the girl into the hotel room, and then walking out by himself half an hour later.

These screenshots are all true, and such an incident did happen a few days ago, but the truth of the matter is not at all as depicted in the post.

On the second night after joining the crew, all of Song Yu's scenes had been filmed, and the three of them came out from the north gate exclusively for the crew, and unexpectedly ran into a dozen or so female fans who were waiting.

It was nine o'clock in the evening, and it was very cold. Song Yu refuses to accept the gift, but signs everyone to go home early. One of the female fans had a tough attitude and insisted that Song Yu accept the gift, but was opposed by other fans. During the push and push, she slipped and sprained her foot.

This girl claimed that she came from another place alone just to see Song Yu. In order to calm things down as soon as possible, Meng Shiping accepted the gift,

Arrange for Zhou Yanqing to take the girl to the hospital for treatment, and then send her back to the hotel.

Zhou Yanqing naturally had nothing to say, he should have left immediately after sending the girl back to the hotel, but the girl said that her best friend knew she was injured.

Rushing to the hotel, she was a little scared to stay in the hotel alone, and hoped that Zhou Yanqing would wait with her.

Zhou Yanqing refused at the time, but the girl cried as soon as she said it, and the tears kept falling like beads with a broken thread, so he had no choice but to let go. Half an hour later, the girl's best friend came to the hotel, and he left immediately.

He also agreed to add WeChat because of the girl's plea. The reason for the conversation was that the girl sent him a message after he left the hotel, asking him to be careful on the road, so he politely cared for the girl.

That's the whole story, no obscenity at all.

Zhou Yanqing scratched her hair in a daze, obviously this post was spreading rumors, but why did that girl do this, was she using such things to gain attention, or was there some other purpose

This post was posted late last night, but the popularity only rose this afternoon. Now there are more than 5,000 comments, and they are still accumulating at a rate of dozens per minute. Without exception, they insult him and feel distressed girls encounter.

Zhou Yanqing quickly posted on Weibo, and as he expected, the topic #宋玉友脑女朋友# was already at the top of the hot search list, followed by the word "explosive".

The official blog of Song Yu Studio has been overwhelmed by netizens. There are more than 20,000 comments on the latest Weibo. Most of the netizens' comments were to ask the studio to call the police and hand over Zhou Yanqing to the police station. Some Song Yu fans said that they should not just listen to one side of the story, and the remaining very small number of black fans took this opportunity to black Song Yu.

Zhou Yanqing was slow to realize the seriousness of the matter. He clicked on the topic and browsed around. His personal information had been human fleshed out and spread around the Internet.

The official blog of his alma mater, the S City Film Academy, also fell, and thousands of comments were filled with righteous indignation, demanding that the school expel Zhou Yanqing.

He was inexplicably framed and then raped by the Internet...

The blood on Zhou Yanqing's face faded completely, his mind went blank, and he didn't know what to do for a while, should he call the police? Or contact the tutor to explain this to the school first

At this time, the door of the office was opened with a "bang".

Monica rushed in anxiously, and asked in a trembling voice, "Xiao Zhou, what's going on?" Before Zhou Yan could answer lightly, she said again, "Forget it, let's discuss it with Brother Meng. How to deal with this matter, I believe it was not you who did it."

"You don't need to look for me." Meng Shiping's cold voice sounded first, and then came in.
