light and shadow [entertainment circle]

"It's like you were walking on the road in good condition, and suddenly you were covered in shit by a few dung beetles in the cesspit! You said you should go home quickly, take a shower and change clothes, and never walk this road again? Or Jumping off the cesspit and throwing shit with dung beetles?"

Jiang Yuan conveniently added a like to the most liked comment on Xia Zhi's Weibo before raising his head to look at Jin Zonghui who was sitting opposite him. "I thought Director Jin had done a great job, but I didn't expect that the summer solstice would be even worse. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead!" Looking at his expression, he was clearly extremely regretful, but for some reason, his understatement always sounded a little gloating. "Now that the summer solstice retreats, this scapegoat will be pushed back again. What's Director Jin's plan?"

It is often said that the eyes of the masses are discerning.This statement is actually false in most cases.The fact is: in most cases, the minds of the masses are blind and easy to control.At the beginning, Jin Zonghui bribed the navy to stir up the scandal between Xia Zhi and Zeng Yijing, leading the public to suspect the real cause of Zeng Yijing's death.The people who eat melons are raging, and everyone with red eyebrows and white eyes vows to nail Xia Zhi to the pillar of shame and "seek justice" for Zeng Yijing.Now, Xia Zhi withdraws gracefully and disdains to fight, and Tang Chi bombards the public opinion at the press conference.The people who eat melons are raging again, turning their guns to denounce the paparazzi navy for inducing public opinion to persecute Xia Zhi, and want to "seek justice" for Xia Zhi.

Jin Zonghui spit out a word coldly with a sullen face: "Wait!" Jin Zonghui has never seen the so-called "fairness" in half his life; the so-called "lively" is never lacking in the entertainment industry.As for those enthusiastic people who eat melons, they are just joining in the "fairness" under the banner of "fairness".If Xia Zhi was an ordinary star, and then endorsed on a variety show and caused scandals, Jin Zonghui would have a thousand ways to make the melon-eaters join in the fun and be overwhelmed with joy.It's a pity that Xia Zhi is an actor who does not follow the usual path. There is no black spot in his life outside of the performance. The direct teacher Jin Zonghui couldn't help but say: "I admire!" So, what else can Jin Zonghui do besides waiting for this wave of enthusiasm to pass? ?Could it be that the water army broke the news that Xia Zhi is a black-hearted capitalist, squeezing the employees of Guangying?

"Such a conservative approach is not like Director Jin's usual style." Jiang Yuan frowned, obviously very dissatisfied. "I thought that pulling Xia Zhi off the horse would bring Gu Kai back to power, but now it seems that my success fell short... What a pity!"

"This failure is indeed my responsibility." Jin Zonghui naturally knew that this operation was a complete failure, and immediately got up and said solemnly. "I am willing to bear all punishments." As the director of Darui's film department, Jin Zonghui's ultimate goal of every move must be to obtain visible profits for Darui, not just to entertain the people who eat melons.He originally thought that the first brother's throne was shining with gold, and Xia Zhi and Guangying would not let go willingly, so Xia Zhi would definitely stand up and fight with public opinion in order to protect his reputation.

And public opinion, will it easily admit defeat?Can you bow your head and admit your mistake?From ancient times to the present, whoever goes against public opinion will end well?

At that time, it's just——

Public opinion: You are gay!

Xia Zhi: Please show evidence!

Public opinion: I don't care about the evidence, I only know that your acting skills are rubbish.

Xia Zhi: You can't even argue with reason!

Public opinion: I am obviously very reasonable, but you are gay, how do you prove that you are not?

Summer Solstice:  …

Public Opinion: So you are not only rubbish in acting, you are also gay, cheating the audience and killing Zeng Yijing!

If this kind of chicken-and-duck talk is broken, no matter how pure and flawless Xia Zhi is, she will already be black instead of black.Moreover, if the actor under Light and Shadow has a good personal relationship with Xia Zhi to open his eyes for him, it will be a double kill or even a triple kill or a quadruple kill!As a result, the public was disgusted and the box office failed. Da Rui only needed to take the opportunity to create a wave of momentum for Gu Kaixuan's new movie, and the position of the first brother was naturally given to Gu Kaixuan. ——Success that is so quiet and unobtrusive is the success in Jin Zonghui's plan.

But now, Xia Zhi retreated without a fight, which convinced the people who eat melons that he "bears a strange injustice".Under such circumstances, whoever tries to jump out to take over the throne of the first brother... whoever benefits will be the mastermind behind the scenes. I believe anyone with an IQ over 80 can understand such a simple reasoning.

Waiting is Jin Zonghui's helpless move.Because when everything is calm, it is equivalent to reshuffling the cards, and everyone sits back at the poker table and starts over.Perhaps, there will no longer be the Great Demon King Xia Zhi in the next game, but Gu Kaixuan is never the only master in the entertainment circle.In other words, Jin Zonghui's actions this time are very likely to make wedding clothes for others.

Fail, utterly fail!

"Punishment..." Jiang Yuan's eyes flashed, and he casually extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray. "Director Jin has done a lot of hard work, and even if he makes a small mistake, he can't be punished. Just be careful next time!"

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang." Although he knew in his heart that Jiang Yuan would never let it go, Jin Zonghui could only be grateful at the moment.

After Jin Zonghui left, Jiang Yuan immediately landed at Xia Zhi's official support station.Jin Zonghui thought that Xia Zhi Wuxin retreated cleanly, but Jiang Yuan knew that was absolutely not the case.He understood this truth just by looking at the newly posted top post in the official support station.

“[Top] Some necessary measures regarding the recent flood of new registered users.”

As a senior fan of Xia Zhi's official support station, Jiang Yuan has always been very aware that the management of Xia Zhi's support station has always been unsatisfactory, and it can even be said to be chaotic.And this also gave Jin Zonghui an excellent opportunity to arrange for the navy to enter the support station in advance, and start hyping the real CP from within Xia Zhi's fans to guide the direction of public opinion.It now appears that the manager of the support station is finally aware of this problem, and launched several measures to monitor public opinion and restrict the free speech of newly registered users.Under normal circumstances, fans would be very disgusted with this almost "restriction of freedom of speech" rule, but now is a special period, and it has received general support.It is not too late to make amends.Since Xia Zhi's official support station still has the intention to rectify, Jiang Yuan believes that Xia Zhi will return sooner or later.

As for Jin Zonghui, just as Jiang Yuan said just now, Jin Zonghui has made great contributions to Darui, even if Jiang Yuan insists on punishing him for this failure, it will be painless, but it will make his mistakes easily reversed.Therefore, Jiang Yuan actually hoped from the bottom of his heart that Xia Zhi could come back before the first brother's throne changed hands.Only when Xia Zhi regained the throne, the slap on Jin Zonghui's face would be loud and powerful enough, and Jiang Yuan had even more reason to get angry and Jin Zonghui asked him to retire early.

So, summer solstice, oh summer solstice, will you come back?When are you coming back?

——There are still many people who want to know the answer to this question.

"In a short time, I probably won't be returning to China." Xia Zhi, who was packing her luggage, replied.Xu Shi retired from the entertainment industry with nothing to worry about, and Xia Zhi's mental state has improved slightly in recent days.Although there is no flesh, the depression between the brows has dissipated a lot.Seeing the melancholy look on Jane's face in the mirror, he even turned around to hug her. "Sorry, little Jane, I couldn't make it to the end."

Xiao Jian burst into tears instantly, hugged him tightly with her arms, and said in a low voice: "Don't say that, Xia Zhi. I just want you to be happy, really, as long as you are happy!"

Xia Zhi raised her hand and gently rubbed the top of Xiao Jian's hair, and replied softly: "Well, I promise you, I will get better."

Only then did Xiao Jane smile through tears, and took Xia Zhi's hand and said, "I'm not by your side this time, you have to take care of yourself. Remember to eat and sleep on time, no matter how much you like surfing, time can't help you." It’s too long, and I can’t go every day, and remember to put on sunscreen. Otherwise, it’s no joke when the skin peels off…”

Seeing Xiao Jian nagging like an 80-year-old old woman, she has to ask for every detail more than three times.Xia Zhi was not impatient at all, she just looked at the other party with a gentle face, cooperating with the other party to give full play to her mother's love.It wasn't until Xiao Jane's cell phone rang suddenly that she had no choice but to get up and leave temporarily.

Xia Zhi has never been curious about his assistant's private phone calls.but -

"I know...I know...but the rules are nothing more than favors, so can't you be accommodating?...If the family members of the deceased wanted to come, they would have already come, okay?...I said, what is going on with you? Now that someone is willing to pay to help you solve the problem, why do you still insist on keeping the corpse of the dead and encroaching on public resources?!"

"Xiao Jian, what corpse? Who are you calling?" Seeing that Xiao Jian's voice on the phone was getting louder, Xia Zhi finally couldn't help but twist the doorknob.

Xiao Jian's eyes visibly flickered, and she quickly said "I'll contact you later." and hung up the phone. "It's nothing, my...a friend passed away, and I'm helping him with his affairs." Xiao Jian hesitated to explain, and immediately supported Xia Zhi's shoulders and pushed him out of the door. "It has nothing to do with you, just leave it alone and enjoy your vacation!"

"Which friend?" Often, people with depression lack awareness in their daily lives, and it's hard to find anything that piques their interest.But in order not to appear extra indifferent and out of tune with this world, they will be more willing to care about others than when they are healthy.Even if this kind of concern will make them very painful.

"A friend you don't know." Xiao Jian said something casually, and was about to end the topic.

But Xia Zhi refused to let go, staring at the other party and said: "Which friend of yours I don't know? Xiao Jian, I'm just sick, not stupid!"

Facing Xia Zhi's inquiring gaze, Xiao Jian helplessly supported her forehead. "Netizen! It's a netizen you don't know!"

"My fans?" Xia Zhi asked.As the only assistant of the former No. [-] brother, Xiao Jane's daily work is always very heavy.For Xiao Jian, it is so arduous to communicate online, it is to talk to fans of the summer solstice.

"No...it doesn't count..." Faced with Xia Zhi who insisted on asking the bottom line, Xiao Jian really began to regret why she answered that phone call just now.She promised Mr. Guan that she would not disclose the matter to Xia Zhi.Although, she didn't understand why. "Oh! You go ask your brother Shan! I can't..."

Unexpectedly, before Xiao Jian finished her excuses, Xia Zhi had already snatched her cell phone, making a gesture to dial.

"Xia Zhi, don't! Don't! Let me tell you, can't I tell you?" Seeing that Xia Zhi wanted to call the funeral parlor by himself, Xiao Jian, who couldn't surpass Xia Zhi's forearm height after jumping a few times, finally gave in.Although Xia Zhi has announced his withdrawal from the film industry, at least he is still on the cusp for now, and Jane must not let him have anything to do with any social news.

"Tell me." Xia Zhi still stared at Xiao Jian with her mobile phone up high.If we say that Xia Zhi was just trying to force himself to express concern and maintain basic social relations; but when Xiao Jian mentioned Guan Shan, Xia Zhi vaguely understood that this matter might not be simple.

It has to be said that, as the first brother, Xia Zhi still has some majesty in front of his assistant.Xiao Jian was so stared at by Xia Zhi, she didn't dare to lie immediately, and finally said helplessly after a long time, "It's...that's... Before the Golden Branch Awards ceremony last year, didn't you answer a very strange phone call? Then the police called Now, it turned out that it was a call from a gambler..."

"Gambler? Policeman?" Xia Zhi repeated the two nouns with a puzzled expression. After a while, he seemed to think of something and said in surprise. "So, he's dead?"

"Yeah." Little Jane nodded heavily, "The police said that he was hacked to death by thugs sent by usury. The police called to find out the situation. Of course, we couldn't help in the end. I heard that , The family of this gambler has cut off contact with him long ago, and now he is dead, and no one is helping to collect the body. I think it is not a solution for him to be placed in the cold storage of the funeral parlor, so I wonder if I can help him with some money Finished the funeral? In the end, the funeral home just couldn’t make sense, saying that the family members must sign to handle it.... I know, they are afraid that I, an outsider, will make trouble after the funeral, but their system is too rigid Well..." Thinking of the idleness she received when contacting the funeral parlor, Xiao Jian couldn't help complaining.

"He asked me for money that day... I thought, I thought..." Xiao Jian complained that Xia Zhi had no time to listen anymore, his face turned pale and he couldn't stop trembling.

"Xia Zhi? Xia Zhi!" Xiao Jian hurriedly helped him up and cried out in panic. "I told you not to ask! Don't think about it, it's none of your business! Who can believe what a gambler says? What's more, he may not be your fan, maybe it's just a wrong call, and it's unlucky." Let you receive..."

No, that's not it!not that simple!As soon as Xia Zhi thought about the content of that phone call, he couldn't stop trembling all over. He had many questions to ask, but his throat was so tight that he couldn't utter a single word.After a while, he finally squeezed Jane's arm and squeezed out a sentence: "What's his name? How old is he?"

"His...his name is Hu Daxian, and he will be in his 40s and almost 50 this year." Xiao Jian said hastily.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Zhi grabbed the clothes on her chest with one hand, and slowly slid down as if her spine had been discounted.

The author has something to say:

Director: Boss Jiang, what is your registration ID at the official summer solstice support station?

Jiang Yuan: When did I register?How do you accuse someone of innocence?
