A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 2363 - 1588: The Journalism Major (Sleepy Cat Rolling in the Blanket)

On the second day, Hei Chuan Chi Yin took leave and didn’t come for the shoot. Therefore, the director had to adjust the filming plan to shoot the scenes between Duanmu Huai and Arima Kaname first, while other parts had to be postponed.

"Luckily, this is a one-off filming. If it were a weekly drama, it wouldn’t be this easy to adjust the filming."

After filming, Arima Kaname held a bottle of mineral water in one hand and a phone in the other, sitting beside Duanmu Huai, and started venting.

"Actually, I quite like this filming style. Everyone being together feels like camping, finish filming in one go and there’s not much fuss... Of course, from the TV station’s perspective, that’s impossible, right?"

"You’re still following that?"

Watching Arima Kaname scrolling through her phone, Duanmu Huai curiously asked.

"After all, this matter could possibly affect us. Isn’t the official account flooded with petitions for Hei Chuan Chi Yin to exit ’Jintian’ filming? She’s the third lead, if she really exits, won’t filming have to start over?"

Arima Kaname had a point. Hei Chuan Chi Yin plays the best friend of the protagonist in ’Jintian’, a role that, although harsh in words, deeply cares for the heroine and plays a significant part in the story progression. Should Hei Chuan Chi Yin really bow out, not only does it mean finding a new actor but also significantly alters and extends the filming schedule.

"Personally, letting her suffer a little is fine, but when it comes to filming, I hope we finish smoothly, don’t want any more troubles."

Saying this, Arima Kaname furrowed her brows.

"Not to mention, that fool even specially apologized, really stupid."

"Is it?"

"Of course, senior, you don’t go online, so you don’t know how this works."

At this time, MEM Chu joined in, speaking up.

"Online, people are drawn to apologies, swarming in. Because an apology means admitting wrongdoing, right? If wrongdoing is admitted, then it’s okay to punish her. At this juncture, Chi Yin choosing to apologize is almost like telling others ’please come bully me’."

"Is that so... I hadn’t thought of it like that."

Admittedly, upon hearing MEM Chu’s explanation, Duanmu Huai had a sudden realization. He had always disdained the Japanese habit of apologizing, feeling merely apologizing resolves nothing. Unexpectedly, in Japanese society, apologizing equates to inviting others to take you down... Essentially saying, by their logic, if you know you’re wrong, then it’s fair game for me to deal with you however I want.

Hmm... Thinking this way, you can see why Japanese people refuse to admit their mistakes.

"Speaking of which, I’m curious, Xiao Ai, what would you do in such a situation?"

Arima Kaname curiously looked at Duanmu Huai.

"Me? Well, it’s quite simple."

Duanmu Huai said while pointing to Arima Kaname’s phone, then swiping.

"I’d just sue everyone who insults me."

"...... Really?"

Have to say, Duanmu Huai’s response left the two stunned.

"Everyone? Online backlash can involve tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of people..."

"So what? Ultimately, it boils down to money. Even if I made mistakes, it’s not for this bunch of irrelevant fools to talk about. Anyway, I’ve got plenty of money, even if all of Japan’s netizens come at me, I won’t be afraid. Just bring them all to court, it’s just that simple."

"But freedom of speech..."

"Insult, defamation, and abuse don’t fall under freedom of speech."

Duanmu Huai shrugged.

"If these fools don’t know restraint, I wouldn’t mind personally cleaning up the online environment. Even if I have to sue all netizens, it would be tens of billions at most, just several billion yen, I can afford it."

"Wow... Xiao Ai is really tough..."

Upon hearing this, Arima Kaname and MEM Chu trembled. Generally, actors wouldn’t dare to do this, since it means going at it until the end with the netizens. Indeed, saying something wrong online would get you bullied, but actually suing and being tried, you’d also get labeled as a criminal, in Japanese society, it’s not just online bullying, it could cost your job, education, lead to neighborhood ostracism... They couldn’t imagine what kind of terrifying impact Duanmu Huai would have in Japan if he really did this.

And they didn’t think Duanmu Huai was joking at all.

"You were right not to go online, I just want to live a peaceful life."

Arima Kaname patted her chest, taking a deep breath, although she knew if Duanmu Huai did this, it would shake the web tremendously.

But... Hmm, she still wanted to live a few more years, Arima Kaname doesn’t have a heart or skills as strong as Duanmu Huai’s.

Speaking of which, average people couldn’t even think of such a terrifying countermeasure.

It’s understandable, since as Judge, Duanmu Huai’s first reaction upon seeing someone block his way was----kill them all.

No matter how many, just kill them all.

"Hope Chi Yin won’t be too affected."

MEM Chu watched her phone, silently sighed.
