Chapter 158 'The Four Evils'
Xu Kun watched the show with Huo Siyan and Jiang Yiyan.
Before watching the show, the three of them had already prepared other programs, but after watching it, Xu Kun couldn't help but pushed Jiang Yiyan on the bed and beat her.
How can one market his "straightforward" personality when he is so tea-shy?
Jiang Yiyan herself was also very depressed. She originally felt pretty good about herself, but when the show was broadcast on TV, she felt like a villain.
This made Jiang Yiyan feel both regretful and fortunate.
Fortunately, he has Xu Kun's support. If he had no connection with him, just based on this episode of "Lu Yu You Yue", his road to stardom would probably be full of twists and turns.
But Brother Kun is obviously somewhat dissatisfied with his performance this time. For the sake of the future, he must find a way to make up for it!
At this time, although the three of them had anticipated that this episode would cause a public opinion storm, they did not expect that public opinion would erupt so violently and so quickly.
That night, the portal website published a special report.
The next morning, except for a few major official newspapers, the rest of the newspapers almost unanimously put this incident on the headlines of the entertainment section.
However, the focus of each newspaper is very different.
Most northern newspapers downplayed the roles played by Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli, mother and daughter, in the incident, and instead focused on Zhu Yawen's act of betraying his benefactor.
This also leads to the discussion of why there have been so many incidents of hidden rules in the entertainment industry recently. Is this a result of moral decline or a distortion of human nature?
Some also said that Jiang Yiyan deliberately slandered Liu Yifei because she hated Zhu Yawen because of her love for him.
The incident in which Zhu Yawen pushed Jiang Yiyan away and declared that "only Liu Yifei can sit on my bed" was dug up by the media and became ironclad evidence for this assertion.
Some newspapers and periodicals in the south, while discussing the Zhu Yawen's back-stabbing incident, focused on Liu Xiaoli and her daughter.
In addition to hyping up the fact that Liu Yifei had been absent from classes for a long time and looked down on her classmates, the fact that Liu's mother and daughter were acting like big shots on the crew was also confirmed through analysis of the hiking shoes.
Naturally, there are also speculations about the various stories between Liu Yifei and her godfather.
Some newspapers even tried to give the "Chinese Paladin" crew a gimmick, saying that they had to endure shame and humiliation in order to live up to the audience's trust.
This statement did not cause much reaction offline, but it was met with a barrage of curses online. Gamers who had fallen from "immortal guards" to "immortal grandsons" attacked everywhere and cursed in various ways under similar reports.
I think the crew adapted the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" into this kind of mess, and yet they still dare to say that they are enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens. They are simply shameless!
However, there are not as many voices defending Liu Yifei online as in history - 8 years later, the 'white moonlight' generation has grown up, but now ordinary people's filter for Liu Yifei is obviously not that deep.
Even her clarification on the "transgender" issue did not have the expected effect. Instead, due to people's curiosity and some people's quoting out of context, the scope of circulation and popularity of the news increased.
Of course, Jiang Yiyan's bitchy behavior also doesn't earn her a good reputation.
So some people on the Internet took advantage of the popularity of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" which has been on the air for more than half a year and gave the three guests and one "hidden guest" the title of the four evil men.
Jiang Yiyan was given the nickname "Yun Zhonghe, the sex-hungry ghost" because of her involvement in a scandal involving unspoken rules.
Apart from rolling her eyes, Liu Yifei was in a dull state the whole time, just like Yue Laosan, the South China Sea Crocodile God.
There is no need to mention the elusive Liu Xiaoli, and it must be the evil Ye Erniang - in the original novel, Ye Erniang's way of attacking Mu Wanqing was to hide in the dark and use children's shoes as hidden weapons.
As for Zhu Yawen, who betrayed his benefactor for love and bowed to apologize for his future, he was undoubtedly given the title of the evil Duan Yanqing.
As soon as the names of these "Four Evil Men" came out, they were reprinted and spread by countless people, and even published openly by some tabloids. Within a few days, they spread all over the country.
The four 'protagonists' who were affected were all defeated, but the first three were mainly furious, while Zhu Yawen, who was listed as the leader of the four evil men, was extremely terrified.
In fact, he never thought of stabbing Xu Kun in the back, and was even quite grateful for Xu Kun's support.
It was just that at that time, in order to protect the girl he loved, he blurted out this matter in a fit of anger.
Now that the backlash has come, he is so anxious that he is running around in circles every day, trying his best to contact Xu Kun, wanting to explain things to him in person.
But Xu Kun ignored him. Zhu Yawen was desperate and had to ask for help from his schoolmate Pan Yutong, who had been pursuing him. Only then did he contact Jia Yueting with the help of Pan's family connections.
So Jia Yueting acted as a middleman and arranged for Zhu Yawen to meet Xu Kun at his home.
After meeting Xu Kun, Zhu Yawen bent his knees again and again, but in the end he could not kneel down. He just bowed deeply and said, "Brother Kun, all the mistakes are my fault. I only ask you to give me a chance - in the future, as long as it is your drama, I will be a small role, an extra, or even do hard labor!"
Xu Kun said nothing and threw a few pages of paper at his face.
Zhu Yawen didn't understand what was going on, but seeing the papers covered with dense writing, he guessed that Xu Kun wanted him to see what was written on them.
So he tried to pick it up, and stole a glance at Xu Kun's expression. Seeing that Xu Kun did not make any other movements, he began to read it quickly. The more he looked, the worse his expression became, and the colder his heart became.
This is a written statement from Tangren to Jia Yueting and Xu Kun, mainly to draw a clear line between themselves and Liu Yifei.
At the same time, he told Xu Kun that the hype about his scandal with Jiang Yiyan had nothing to do with them, Tangren. It was all Chen Jinfei's way of covering up the embarrassment of Liu Yifei and her daughter, and also to take revenge on Jiang Yiyan, so she used the scandal between the two as a shield.
As for Zhu Yawen...
It seemed that Liu Xiaoli didn't want him to bother her daughter, so she simply took advantage of his misfortune to discredit him so that he would give up.
If this was found by Xu Kun or Jia Yueting, Zhu Yawen might still be suspicious, but this was Tangren's "explanation" to the Tianjian crew...
Thinking back to when he confessed to Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli's hysterical look, Zhu Yawen couldn't help but feel a chill all over his body.
He had fallen to this point for Liu Yifei, and originally thought that even if he lost his career, he would at least have a chance to win the favor of a beautiful woman. Who knew that the people who stabbed him in the back were actually Liu Yifei's mother and godfather!
This made him completely heartbroken and confused.
He even forgot the purpose of his visit and walked out in a daze.
"This boy is also a romantic."
Jia Yueting watched Zhu Yawen disappear out the door, then turned to Xu Kun and asked, "Do you have any plans today?"
Xu Kun waved his hand and said, "Isn't Director Feng hosting a banquet tomorrow? Forget about today. I have to go shoot a Tide laundry detergent commercial soon."
"Isn't that Tide commercial stuck?"
Huo Siyan and Gan Wei came out from the inner room hand in hand and asked curiously, "Why, has Liu Yifei's mother given in again?"
Originally, Tide wanted to wait for Liu Yifei to come back from Hong Kong Island to implement the advertisement that combined two products and had two effects. However, when Liu Xiaoli heard that she would be shooting an advertisement with Xu Kun, she directly refused.
So there has been no news until now.
"Replacement."
Xu Kun said casually: "The Tang people made an effort to change the male-female pairing to me and Hu Ge."
After a pause, he asked again, "Will you come with me, or?"
"I have an appointment with Weiwei to go shopping, so I can't accompany you."
Huo Siyan raised Gan Wei's hand as if to assert her sovereignty.
Faced with Chen Jinfei's small actions, Xu Kun naturally had to fight back. More than half of Chen Jinfei's essays that were exposed on the Internet recently were written by him and Jia Yueting.
With the help of Tangren, rumors about godfather and goddaughter are flying everywhere - in fact, there are other negative information and rumors, but we ordinary people seem to like this.
Huo Siyan had been following Xu Kun these days, and therefore had a general idea of Jia Yueting's background and identity. Naturally, she would not miss the opportunity, so she also pulled Gan Wei to engage in "lady diplomacy".
"That's fine."
Xu Kun gave Jia Yueting a few more instructions about tomorrow's banquet, then drove Jia Yueting's Mercedes to the advertising company.
He recently earned nearly one million from filming commercials. Including the Tide commercial, that’s more than one million. He just rented a three-bedroom apartment with a parking space. It seems like it’s time to buy a car.
