Chapter 146 In this entertainment industry, I, Jiang Nian, am the rule
To be fair, Jiang Nian quite likes the old man Yu Chenghui.
After all, the other party has great martial virtues and real kung fu, so I guess they can have common topics.
But there shouldn't be any intersection between the two of them.
It’s not just because Jiang had too many things happen in the first half of the year.
He had to take the college entrance exam, practice martial arts, and film movies, and each of them required him to devote a lot of energy and time.
More importantly, this old man Yu Chenghui is not an ordinary person.
He is the only sword master in modern times!
Therefore, when talking to him, the other party can easily see that he is extraordinary.
Although Jiang Nian never concealed it on weekdays.
But the nature of how an ordinary person sees his own extraordinaryness and how an expert sees his own extraordinaryness are completely different.
There is a saying that goes well.
If you don’t practice cultivation, you will see me like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky.
If you practice cultivation, you will see me as an ant looking at the blue sky!
Although Yu Chenghui has not reached the threshold of an ant looking at the blue sky.
But as the strongest martial artist in the world, the Sword Master.
If he met Jiang Nian and found that he couldn't see through Jiang Nian at all, he would probably realize that something was wrong.
Jiang Nian didn't want to make things come to this point.
At least that's the case for now.
"Alright, alright, Mr. Jiang, don't frown so much. We've already been rejected. It's all in the past. Come on, let's continue watching TV."
Seeing that Jiang Nian's expression was not right, Deng Sha hurried over to smooth things over.
Hearing this, Jiang Nian nodded, sat back on the sofa, and watched the variety show with everyone.
On TV, after the cooking competition between Jiang Nian and Huang Lei was broadcast.
There isn't much left.
It was nothing more than Huang Lei's beans being poisoned, and the guest star left.
Perhaps he took Jiang Nian's current reputation and popularity into consideration.
Or maybe it was because the Huang Lei bean poisoning incident caused quite a stir a week ago.
They didn't do much about this matter.
They broadcast the incident of Huang Lei's bean poisoning exactly as it happened.
This is the only point that Jiang Nian was satisfied with after watching it for an hour and a half.
But satisfaction is satisfaction.
In order to maintain the image of a permanent guest, the dish made by Jiang Nian was edited to look like it was made by Huang Lei, which he didn't like.
Thinking of this,
Jiang Nian stood up, walked to the door, looked at Zhang Linyu who was drinking not far away, and shouted: "Old Zhang, come here."
Hearing this, Zhang Linyu did not dare to neglect it. He quickly put down the wine, trotted to Jiang Nian, and asked, "What's wrong, brother? What's the matter?"
"Ah."
Jiang Nian nodded:
"You can contact the internet trolls now to hype up the fact that Huang Lei cooked, saying that the dish was not made by Huang Lei at all, and that the program crew was maliciously editing and making up stories, and that they would do anything to promote Huang Lei."
"As for the hard evidence, I remember there's a farmer's surveillance camera nearby that can capture what's going on. You can just spend some money to buy it from them."
When going to the mushroom house, Jiang Nian observed the surroundings.
I still remember this incident vividly.
"what?"
Zhang Linyu was stunned for a moment, looking at Jiang Nian with a confused face: "Brother, what do you mean?"
Jiang Nian looked puzzled: "Can't you see? Are you looking for trouble?"
"Well, of course I know you are looking for trouble, but why are you doing this?"
Zhang Linyu asked.
It means that some of them are incomprehensible.
After all, he had just appeared on the show, and he turned around and started fighting with this show directly.
Even if this program was edited maliciously, this kind of thing is very common in the entertainment industry. It shouldn't be necessary to make such a big fuss, right?
In response to this, Jiang Nian's face looked even more strange:
"Do I need a reason to pick a fight with someone?"
"If I have to give a reason, it's that they touched my things and I was very upset."
"Besides, it's not like I'm picking on them without any benefit to them. Aren't they doing this just for the hype? If that's the case, then what's wrong with me adding some hype to them?"
To be fair.
If the program team had cut the dishes he cooked and given them to He Jiong, or Song Dandan.
Jiang Nian would not do that. He just smiled and the matter was over.
But unfortunately, they gave the dish made by Jiang Nian to Huang Lei, who had the worst relationship with Jiang Nian.
After working so hard for so long, you end up becoming the enemy's wedding dress and used to consolidate the enemy's image.
This was unbearable for Jiang Nian.
It is also impossible to remain indifferent to such obviously disgusting behavior.
Zhang Linyu was not aware of this. He just twitched his mouth after hearing Jiang Nian's words, thinking that this was a serious problem.
Zhang Linyu has lived for so many years, but so far, he has never seen any star who would participate in a variety show simply because the variety show distorted right and wrong through editing!
To put it mildly, Jiang Nian's move was retaliation.
To put it in a broader sense, it is cutting off people's source of income and breaking the rules!
After all, when shooting variety shows, malicious editing is basically an unspoken agreement in this circle.
Even if your reputation, Jiang Nian, is affected by this, so what?
Those big stars didn't say anything. How can you, a newcomer who has just debuted for less than a year, go against them?!
“I feel like this is wrong.”
After much thought, Zhang Linyu gave his own opinion and advised:
"Brother Jiang, even though they edited it maliciously, it's understandable. After all, Huang Lei is a regular guest, so we have to give him some respect. And even though they edited it maliciously, didn't they edit the last part where Huang Lei was poisoned? We don't need to do that."
Before Zhang Linyu could finish his words, Jiang Nian interrupted him.
He looked at Zhang Linyu and said:
"So? According to you, I have to thank them?"
"Lao Zhang, have you been in the entertainment industry for too long and been assimilated by them?"
"It's understandable that they didn't pin the poisoning of Huang Lei on me, because it had nothing to do with me in the first place."
"It's not that I owe them anything, and it's not a reason for them to tamper with my things at will."
"As for Huang Lei, he wants face, but isn't my face also face?"
"As long as I'm unhappy, no one will feel good. What you need to do is to complete the tasks I have assigned to you. Don't think too much. I will hold up the sky if it falls. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, facing Jiang Nian's unquestionable gaze, Zhang Linyu's lips moved slightly, but in the end he said nothing.
He just nodded and walked aside to make the connection.
Seeing this, Jiang Nian took out a cigarette and took a deep puff.
He knew that Zhang Linyu advised him like this because he was thinking about himself and was worried that he would break the rules by doing so, which would provoke others and thus be targeted.
But. No need!
Not to mention that he had already become enemies with Huang Lei before this.
Even if he didn't take action, Huang Lei would target him.
Even if we just say that he is a sinner, so what?
He simply relied on his own status and position to ban Jiang Nian.
This is the most insignificant thing for Jiang Nian.
He is a man who is almost becoming extraordinary, so why would he be afraid of a little kid like this isolating himself?
Remember, the reason these people can sit with him, Jiang Nian, and even talk to him.
It’s not that they have the ability.
It’s just because Jiang Nian needs to act to unlock the role, and he also thinks the entertainment industry is interesting.
What if one day, Jiang Nian feels that the entertainment industry is boring?
With his extraordinary strength.
If these people just want to see Zhang Linyu, they have to use connections, kowtow a few times, and call him "Master Zhang" a few times!
"In this entertainment industry, I am the one who rules!"
The tobacco burned, flickering, and Jiang Nian's eyes were filled with arrogance.
"Director, our play is done!"
At the same time, Beijing.
Looking at the data backstage, the assistant director of "A Longing for Life" said to director Wang Zhengyu excitedly.
Wang Zhengyu stared at the display screen and nodded repeatedly: "I saw it, I saw it, hahahaha, everyone has worked hard these days, I will send out red envelopes later."
When these words were spoken, people were overjoyed.
For a moment, voices of "Thank you, Director Wang" were heard one after another.
Seeing this, Huang Lei, who was sitting next to him, sneered.
I thought to myself, "vulgar."
Then he took a sip of tea slowly, put down the cup and walked forward: "Director Wang, what are the reactions of netizens?"
Hearing this, Wang Zhengyu was slightly stunned. Then he realized what Huang Lei was talking about and quickly said:
"Well, you have a very good reputation now! Netizens are all praising you as Chef Huang!"
"only."
Wang Zhengyu paused.
"Just what?" Huang Lei frowned.
"But if we do this, what will happen to Jiang Lao, er, Jiang Nian?"
Wang Zhengyu asked.
Swap the dishes made by Jiang Nian with those made by Huang Lei.
This was not his intention.
He didn't even plan to put a section there at the beginning, intending to find other content to fill it in.
But Huang Lei, the resident guest, strongly urged to do so.
Only then did he cut this segment into the main film.
Upon hearing this, Huang Lei looked down on him:
"Him? What does he have to worry about?"
"The variety show has already aired, what can he do?"
Speaking of this, Huang Lei couldn't help feeling a little proud.
So what if you, Jiang Nian, cook delicious food?
In the end, didn't it all become Huang Lei's wedding dress, used to consolidate his image as a chef?
This is Huang Lei’s capital and energy!
Seeing his smug look.
Wang Zhengyu’s eyelids twitched.
The four words "disrespectful to the elderly" were now concretely manifested in front of him.
However, he quickly adjusted his state and was ready to go against his conscience and flatter Huang Lei.
But right now.
"Director Wang, this is bad. People are scolding me online!"
A staff member saw something and exclaimed.
Hearing this, Wang Zhengyu frowned and looked at the man: "What's going on?"
He was apparently fine when I saw him just now, why is he suddenly cursing now?
Then the man was seen sitting in front of the computer, clicking the mouse frantically, saying, "It seems to be because of the editing problem. Now a lot of netizens are accusing us of fraud."
"What's the matter?"
Wang Zhengyu was stunned for a moment, then he quickly walked forward and looked carefully.
Then I saw a lot of curses on the official Weibo of "A Longing for Life".
"What the hell is this? Wasn't it supposed to be a farm entertainment variety show? So it's all fake?"
"Fuck, I'm really impressed. I thought variety shows with scripts were the limit, but you actually came up with something even more outrageous, directly falsifying and tampering with the facts? Daxia variety shows are completely over!"
"??? No, what happened? Didn't this variety show just go online today? Why are you all criticizing it? Are you guys a cyber army?"
"Bullshit, didn't you see the video? This show is so disgusting. They used all means to promote Huang Lei. The dish was obviously made by Jiang Nian, but they edited it to look like it was made by Huang Lei. Ugh!"
"What? There's such a thing? Is there a link?"
"Yes, here it is. You can check it out for yourself. [Web link]"
Looking at these comments, Wang Zhengyu's eyes narrowed.
With his many years of experience in hiring internet trolls to lead the trend, he almost instantly realized that these comments were made by the internet trolls and were used to attract traffic.
Wang Zhengyu immediately said, "Quick, click on that link and see what it is."
It's not that he's curious.
But when something like this happens and someone is trying to mess with him, he must know where the other party is attacking so that he can prepare countermeasures.
But when the staff clicked on the link and opened the video.
The content of the video made Wang Zhengyu's face turn pale.
Because the content in this video is exactly the footage of Jiang Nian and Huang Lei cooking in the Mushroom House more than a week ago.
And because it is a bird's-eye view, everyone can see clearly what the food in the pot looks like and what is happening on the scene!
“Where is this video from?”
Wang Zhengyu was horrified and cried out in surprise.
If it were just some photos and some text.
He can also say that the other party is spreading rumors and releasing false information.
But this video is so embarrassing.
Wang Zhengyu was completely confused by this video and didn't know what to do.
Huang Lei felt something was wrong, so he came over and asked, "Director Wang, what happened? Why are you yelling so loudly?"
But Wang Zhengyu ignored him, because compared to Huang Lei, what was more important now was how to resolve the public opinion storm caused by this video.
If this is not handled properly, it will be a major program accident!
"Who the hell is fucking me?"
Wang Zhengyu cursed in his heart, wondering who among all the people he had offended would do such a thing.
But after thinking about it, I still have no clue.
Because even if he had offended someone, that person would not do this.
This show has just started.
Even if there is a certain potential, nothing has been shown yet.
It's totally not worth investing so much money into it.
Not to mention that this program is not his, but belongs to the investor!
If something goes wrong, the investor won’t even get his capital back.
Once the truth is revealed, the employer will never forgive him!
This is definitely a thankless task!
"Fuck! Contact someone right now to report this post and have it banned."
“Others immediately logged in to delete and control comments.”
Wang Zhengyu quickly gave the order.
It is imperative to minimize its impact before things become uncontrollable.
Huang Lei, seeing that Wang Zhengyu was ignoring him, showed a look of displeasure on his face.
But if he was asked to lower his dignity and ask, he couldn't do it, so after thinking it over, he simply took out his mobile phone and looked at it himself.
It doesn't matter if you don't see it.
At the first sight, Huang Lei's heart almost stopped.
Because at this moment, the comment section of his official Weibo account has been overwhelmed.
"Is this the Weibo of that thief Huang Lei? WCNM! Do you have any shame? You take advantage of your age to bully newcomers, right?"
"Disgusting, so fucking disgusting! When I was watching it before, I was wondering, if you are such a good cook, how come you didn't know that half-cooked beans are poisonous? And how come you ate so much that you ended up in the hospital? It turns out that this cooking skill is not yours at all, but something you stole."
"No wonder I've never heard of you before. You're an old bastard who doesn't respect his elders. You've lost your dignity just to gain some fame. You even want to step on my father-in-law Yu Huatian to get to the top. I make keys. Let me ask you, are you good enough? Make a few keys for me!"
"Is this the official blog of the British Museum? Come on, come on, everyone, take a group photo."
"Hahaha, what a great British museum. But you're right, in the final analysis, they are both thieves and robbers."
"I'm just curious about one thing. Don't you have any shame? Good fellow, you made a pile of shit, which is fine, but you shamelessly took the fruits of others' hard work as your own, and called yourself a great chef, enjoying the praise from others. I've never seen such a shameless person!"
"I can't imagine how upset Jiang Nian must be when he sees this variety show. It was clearly a dish he worked so hard to prepare, but just because Huang Lei is a regular guest, it was taken away from him."
"The key is that this thief is actually a teacher. Can you believe this?"
"What the hell? Teacher? A teacher can do such a thing. He is simply insulting the profession of teacher!"
"What's even more terrifying is that such a person has taught a large number of students. I can't even imagine how bad his students must be if the teacher is so bad!"
"We feel sorry for Brother Jiang Nian. Boycott Huang Lei and "Longing"! Give Brother Jiang Nian a clean name!"
"That's right, boycott Huang Lei. Variety show thieves should not appear on the screen, let alone be teachers. We strongly demand that such bad artists be banned!"
"."
Looking at these comments, Huang Lei, who was originally in a very good mood, felt like his head was exploding.
A warm current suddenly rose from his heart and rushed straight to his brain.
Huang Lei's eyes blurred and his body swayed.
"Crack-"
His cell phone fell to the ground. Huang Lei wanted to hold on to something, but there was nothing around for him to hold on to.
He staggered and fell to the ground with a thump.
In an instant, endless darkness enveloped him.
In a trance, Huang Lei saw a lot of people surrounding him, talking about something anxiously.
But his ears were buzzing and he heard nothing.
At this moment, Huang Lei had only one thought in his mind.
It's over! The perfect persona he worked so hard to build was gone. He was a thief!
Huang Lei was so angry that his eyes were about to burst out!
"Jiang Nian!"
“It must be Jiang Nian!”
“You definitely did this!”
"I can't forgive you!"
