Marketing accounts immediately popped it comes to things like this that cause huge public opinion and discussion, marketing accounts are never absent.
Lu Yanhe had not expected that some of his fans would seize on this matter and force Zeng Qiao to give up the first position.
They didn't care at all about the attitude Lu Yanhe had already expressed, and insisted on their own attitude on their own initiative. Under the banner of doing good for Lu Yanhe and fighting for Lu Yanhe's interests, they acted recklessly and unreasonably.
Lu Yanhe really felt uncomfortable at this moment.
This is not an intentional attempt to discredit his opponents, but a fan base that truly likes him.
Lu Yanhe couldn't understand why they could really ignore his real thoughts and feelings and self-righteously say and do things on his behalf?
When Lu Yanhe felt that his career was soaring like the wind, this incident dealt him a heavy blow.
The worst thing is that Lu Yanhe didn’t even know how to solve this problem.
It was impossible for Lu Yanhe to speak out again and again about this matter. The more he spoke out, the crazier those radical fans would become, as if they were deliberately going against Lu Yanhe.
"For now, we can only reduce the heat and deal with it calmly." Chen Ziyan said to Lu Yanhe.
"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded.
However, no one expected that Maxine suddenly changed the order of signatures in each of their promotional messages at this time.
Lu Yanhe's name appeared before Zeng Qiao's name.
For a moment, this matter immediately became a hot topic.
When Lu Yanhe's radical fans saw this scene, they all went to Bingyuan Video and the domestic official Weibo of "River of Silence" to question them, as if they had achieved a temporary victory in their battle, asking them why they hadn't made changes yet?
Lu Yanhe took a deep breath and called Zhong Benshuo to ask why Maxine suddenly made changes to the order of signatures.
At this critical moment, Lu Yanhe did not think that Maxine's changes were an unintentional coincidence.
Zhong Benshuo directly said: "Because on our Maxine platform, you have much more fame and fans than Zeng Qiao, this is for publicity considerations."
"Have you discussed this change with Director Chen Lingling and the others?"
"We, Maxine, are the producers of this drama, and we can decide this matter ourselves." Zhong Benshuo said, "Yanhe, this matter will not harm you, why do you care about it?"
"Mr. Zhong, I hope you can change the order of the signatures back." Lu Yanhe felt tired. These past few days, he had to face things he didn't want to face, which made him very irritable. "When we were filming this drama, both Zeng Qiao and I signed a contract with the crew. Please follow the contract. Zeng Qiao is the first and I am the second. This is a clear clause in the contract."
Zhong Benshuo was extremely confused and couldn't understand it.
He asked: "Yan He, please change the order of signatures. This is something that will benefit you in every way and will not cause any harm. Why do you refuse?"
As for the contract… As long as Zeng Qiao doesn’t pursue it, the contract doesn’t mean anything. And considering the current situation of Lu Yanhe and Zeng Qiao, Zhong Benshuo doesn’t think Zeng Qiao will pursue this matter. If he really pursues it, Zhong Benshuo is confident that he can settle it.
Lu Yanhe said seriously, "Mr. Zhong, this is not a matter of advantage or disadvantage. We all work together to create a work, and the process is not easy. If I have won a few awards in the past year or two and have become more famous, I will ignore the previously signed contract and overturn the things that have been decided long ago. This is a problem of credibility. In addition, more importantly, Zeng Qiao and I are also very good friends. It is even more impossible for friends to do such a thing. Please change the order of our signatures back."
Lu Yanhe's attitude was firm.
Faced with his attitude, Zhong Benshuo certainly did not insist any longer.
So, less than two hours after the modification, the latest signature order released by Maxine returned to the original order.
Someone questioned on the Internet why the order of signatures was changed back.
Zhong Benshuo’s account directly replied: Lu Yanhe is a very humble actor. He took the initiative to contact us and asked us to change back to the previous signature order. We respect his opinion.
This reply immediately broke the defense of Lu Yanhe's fans.
"..."
Lu Yanhe even saw someone scolding him in the comment section of his Weibo: He is a piece of useless shit.
Lu Yanhe was amused by what he saw.
-
"Are you ok?"
Probably because the online sensation was quite loud, when Lu Yanhe returned to school, he ran into Miao Yue in the cafeteria, and Miao Yue asked him a question out of concern.
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "It's okay. I didn't get knocked down."
Miao Yue smiled and said, "I'm not worried that you'll be defeated, but I'm worried that your pressure will increase again. Are you more anxious because of this? Do you want to go for a check-up?"
Lu Yanhe was also stunned for a moment when Miao Yue reminded him of this.
He had never thought about this before.
but--
"It should be okay, right? My previous anxiety mainly came from work. The pressure from this kind of online public opinion has never caused me much mental anxiety," said Lu Yanhe.
Miao Yue: "Are you so strong? Why can you ignore those public opinions?"
"Maybe it's because I always feel that the voices on the Internet have no actual connection with my real life. Although they are annoying sometimes, that's it." Lu Yanhe was not pretending, he really felt so.
Miao Yue was also familiar with Lu Yanhe's character and knew that he would not deliberately act like a big shot in such matters.
"Have you been in school recently?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Miao Yue nodded, "If not at school, where is it?"
"The classes are over. I thought you would go to the crew with Liu Bigo."
"It's just that your class is over. I still have two electives this semester, and I have to write my graduation thesis." Miao Yue said this, and rolled her eyes at Lu Yanhe with some resentment. "Do you know that you have become a thorn in the eyes of all our classmates now?"
"Why?" Lu Yanhe was confused when he heard that he had become a thorn in the eyes of his classmates. He didn't understand why.
Miao Yue: "Because you work so much, but you still managed to complete all the credits ahead of time and finish your graduation thesis ahead of time. Do you know how many teachers use you as an example to spur us on?"
Lu Yanhe: "Uh..."
This was something he really hadn't expected.
Miao Yue smiled and said, "You know what? Some people even complained privately that your paper must have been written by Professor Zhao."
"what?"
"He said that Professor Zhao helped you write your graduation thesis in order to repay you for saving his life." Miao Yue said this with a sneer, "Someone is jealous of you and has had opinions about you for a long time. Even though he knows it's impossible, he still deliberately said it just to satisfy himself."
After hearing what she said, Lu Yanhe guessed who was saying these things behind her back.
In Zhenhua, in their academy, there was only one person who had such ill will towards him.
Ji Qianxing, who had failed to confess her love to him.
Lu Yanhe curled his lips.
Miao Yue suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, there's one more thing. Is Bingyuan Video planning to buy the rights to the TV series adaptation of Rouge from you?"
Lu Yanhe nodded, "Yes, how did you know? Not only this, but also Lost on Journey, they also want to adapt it into a TV series."
Miao Yue: "Someone from them came to me and wanted me to participate in the script adaptation work."
Lu Yanhe: "I haven't even agreed to give them the rights to adapt the series yet, why are they moving so quickly?"
"They also said that they are still negotiating with you about the adaptation rights. They didn't fool me." Miao Yue smiled.
"Do you want to do it?" Lu Yanhe asked.
"I refused." Miao Yue said, "I am revising my new novel. I will not take other jobs until the novel is finalized."
Miao Yue has the usual calmness of Zhenhua students in this regard. In Zhenhua, many students are actually in a very competitive and hardworking state, but they do not have the anxiety and impulse of "I must seize this opportunity immediately" for some seemingly good opportunities. Everyone still has the confidence of being a Zhenhua student, and will not rush to grab a seemingly good opportunity for fear of missing it. Everyone firmly believes that they can wait for better opportunities.
Lu Yanhe said: "Given the current reputation of the movie Rouge, adapting it into a TV series might be a bit stressful."
Miao Yue frowned and looked at Lu Yanhe with squinted eyes: "Are you trying to provoke me?"
Lu Yanhe quickly raised his hands to show his innocence. "I didn't have such thoughts. It's just that we suddenly talked about this, so I said so." Lu Yanhe explained.
Miao Yue: "What you said makes me want to prove myself next."
"Don't be impulsive." Lu Yanhe immediately made a cross with his hands and said, "I'm not responsible."
"You are not responsible? That's the speech of a scumbag." Lin Miaomiao suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
She was wearing jeans and a light yellow jacket, with fluffy hair, and looked less student-like and more sophisticated and fashionable.
Of course, she is good-looking and looks good in any style.
"You scared me." Lu Yanhe was not exaggerating. Lin Miaomiao suddenly appeared behind him and spoke, which scared him so much that he jumped to the side.
Lin Miaomiao gave him a look of disdain.
"You're a celebrity, and I'm so close to you, but you don't seem to be alert at all," she said. "If I were a hater, I'd probably have you in a rage by now."
"I'm not a ghost, why are you throwing chicken blood on me?"
"In the eyes of your haters, if you are not a ghost, then are you still a human? I'll pour chicken blood on you to drive away the evil spirits." Lin Miaomiao said, "You have been scolded by so many fans online recently. Don't you know it in your heart?"
Lu Yanhe: "..."
He was unexpectedly taught a lesson by Lin Miaomiao.
"This is a school, not a place where all kinds of people gather. Do I need to be bullied?"
Lin Miaomiao: "Haha, do you know what happened to the pit that Wang Xiao fell into before?"
"What happened?" If Lin Miaomiao hadn't said it, Lu Yanhe would have almost forgotten about it.
Lin Miaomiao: "We just found out recently that the pit was dug overnight by someone outside."
"Sneak in...sneak in?"
"That's right." Lin Miaomiao nodded. "Besides, before he turned himself in, no one in the school found out who had dug this trap."
The more Lu Yanhe listened, the more confused he became. "What do you mean? He hasn't been found out yet, but he turned himself in? He confessed on his own initiative?"
"Well, he didn't even want to dig this pit. He wanted to dig some soil from Zhenhua and go back to plant trees." Lin Miaomiao waved her hands. "Don't look at me with such incredible eyes. Everyone of us feels incredible and absurd when we hear this story, but this is the fact."
Lu Yanhe: "So what do you want to explain by telling me this story now?"
"I want to tell you that this world is so big that all kinds of strange things can happen. Don't think that no one in Zhenhua will throw chicken blood at you." Lin Miaomiao said.
Lu Yanhe: "..."
-
When Lu Yanhe received a very thick envelope in the dormitory office downstairs, he took it to the dormitory and opened it, and found that it contained a stack of his photos. He had marked a big cross on each photo with a red pen. At this moment, Lu Yanhe was not only excited and confused, but also very shocked. He found time to add: Lin Miaomiao is really a jinx.
After drying the clothes, Mao Jiayang came in from the balcony and saw Lu Yanhe standing in front of his desk, staring at a pile of things in a daze. He was unusually stunned and puzzled. He walked closer and called out "Yanhe".
Lu Yanhe came back to his senses and looked at Mao Jiayang.
"what?"
"What's wrong with you?" Mao Jiayang asked.
Lu Yanhe came back to his senses, "Oh, it's nothing, I received a... somewhat strange envelope. Yes, I have to make a call."
He picked up his phone and called Chen Ziyan.
Mao Jiayang took a closer look and his eyes widened instantly.
"Damn! Who sent this to you?" Mao Jiayang asked in disbelief when he saw the photos with big crosses on them scattered on the table.
He reached out to take it.
"Don't touch it!" Lu Yanhe stopped him immediately, saying, "There may be fingerprints on it."
Mao Jiayang reacted, nodded, and took his hand back.
Lu Yanhe briefly told Chen Ziyan what had happened.
When Chen Ziyan heard this, she immediately became serious and said, "Wait for me, I'll be there soon."
Lu Yanhe hummed.
After Lu Yanhe hung up the phone, Mao Jiayang asked hurriedly, "What's going on?"
Lu Yanhe shook his head, "I don't know what's going on now."
"This package...did you get it back from the courier? Who sent it to you? Did you check it?"
"No, I didn't get it from the courier, I got it from the dormitory management office downstairs." Lu Yanhe said, "When I came back, the dormitory management stopped me and said there was my envelope."
When Mao Jiayang heard this, he immediately said, "Then I'll go ask the dormitory manager now."
After a while, Mao Jiayang came up.
"The dorm manager said he didn't know who sent it. It was sent from the school mailroom along with a bunch of postcards and envelopes."
Lu Yanhe was a little surprised: "Mailroom?"
"Yes." Mao Jiayang nodded. "Now basically no matter which courier, they are basically delivered to the courier point. Only the postal service still has a separate line, which will be delivered to the school's mail room and then distributed according to the building."
Lu Yanhe suddenly realized and asked, "So, this was sent by the post office?"
Mao Jiayang said: "Well, although few people send letters nowadays, this line has been preserved. If someone puts an envelope in the mailbox, it can still be delivered to the designated location."
Lu Yanhe suddenly realized.
"But who would send you something so threatening and know your dormitory building number?" Mao Jiayang was very doubtful.
Lu Yanhe also understood his doubts.
Although he was a little confused, he knew that the person who did such a thing and who could send this envelope to him was definitely not joking with him or playing a prank.
Lin Miaomiao’s words not long ago are still fresh in my mind.
——You have been scolded by so many fans online recently, don’t you know it?
No one who does not harbor some hatred towards Lu Yanhe would do such a thing.
-
Chen Ziyan came to school with someone else.
Not alone.
Moreover, it’s a big deal.
Several people followed her, wearing black masks. As soon as they entered the room, they opened their toolboxes, put on gloves, and put the photos and envelopes on Lu Yanhe's desk into transparent plastic bags like agents in a movie.
Lu Yanhe and Mao Jiayang stood by in amazement the whole time, watching what was happening before their eyes.
Chen Ziyan asked: "Besides this envelope, is there anything else?"
Lu Yanhe shook his head.
Chen Ziyan looked at Mao Jiayang.
"Please keep this a secret for now and don't tell anyone else." Chen Ziyan said to Mao Jiayang, "Otherwise, it will easily lead to some people imitating you."
Mao Jiayang nodded and said, "I will not reveal a single word."
Lu Yanhe asked Chen Ziyan: "Sister Ziyan, how should we deal with this matter?"
"Let's see if we can find any clues first." Chen Ziyan said, "It doesn't make much sense to call the police at this time. I have already found a professional team to help us investigate. Before there is progress, don't let this matter out. Now it's just one person. Once this kind of thing gets out, maybe some people will imitate this behavior." (End of this chapter)
