Superstar's Development Diary-Chapter 769 - 770: Smoke of Gunpowder Gradually Rising
The message sent by Sheng Yan stirred up a huge commotion online, which was nothing like his usual style.
Some netizens couldn’t help but analyze Sheng Yan’s unusual behavior, with most speculations pointing towards He Jinxia.
[Just quietly asking, Don’t you guys really think that the Fat Emperor actually goes well with Emperor Sheng?]
[I always felt that ever since he met He Jinxia, Emperor Sheng changed completely. His habit of not updating his W site for years changed as well, emmm actually, it’s a good thing; Emperor Sheng seems a bit more humane now.]
[woc, it’s just posting on W site and moving fingers, is it necessary to relate it to a change in someone’s personality? Are you guys being too neurotic?]
[[Mixed feelings] I also think Emperor Sheng has changed a lot, especially after the incident with He Jinxia, the last time he publicly acknowledged He Jinxia as his junior sister and even supported her movie ’Eighteen Years Old Sky,’ which shocked everyone.
Due to Emperor Sheng’s promotion, this art film broke the domestic record for art film releases in the last ten years. You must think that ’Eighteen Years Old Sky’ achieved such results because of its quality.
Yes, the quality is good, but its breakthrough of three billion in fine works is definitely inseparable from Emperor Sheng’s publicity. I just want to ask, how many stars can receive the treatment that He Jinxia got?]
As this netizen commented, others also started to ponder, subconsciously feeling something was amiss.
[Not to say, back then, many people said that the two were from the same company, and it was normal for them to look after each other as senior and junior siblings.
But there are so many brilliant stars in Tonghua Entertainment, and there are also quite a few actors with similar popularity and value as He Jinxia. There’s no shortage of leading actresses either, so why did Sheng Yan specifically pick He Jinxia?]
[The way you guys talk... I’ve been watching all along and I can’t help but suspect that there might be something between them.]
The whirlwind of suspicion came quickly and disappeared quickly. Later, the Imperial Army assertively intervened, explaining that the two just happened to collaborate on a project, had a good relationship, and hence helped each other with promotions; it was all coincidental.
Due to the vigorous flooding by the Imperial Army, the later netizens who came in didn’t see the earlier comments and didn’t think in other directions, only continuously praising their deep senior-junior sibling relationship.
Zhang Ming had been observing the online situation, and seeing that the storm had been quelled felt somewhat relieved; he stretched out his hand to rub his slightly aching temples, thinking that continuing this way was not a solution.
It was he who had asked the Imperial Army to step in and flood the screen to clarify.
Some fans in the fan group thought that He Jinxia was deliberately leeching off the heat, getting very emotional and threatening to hire the Water Army to slander He Jinxia, not wanting to soil their idol.
These people eventually calmed down a bit with the reassurance from the official staff.
Zhang Ming sighed deeply, lifted his head, and focused on He Jinxia’s W site profile picture on the screen, thinking that He Jinxia better hurry up and become a top-tier celebrity, and then make it public soon, so he wouldn’t have to struggle so much in maintaining public relations.
Sheng Yan now... was always looking for opportunities to hint to the whole world that the two of them "have.an.affair," such a troublemaker!
In the data monitoring room, an analyst said, "Agent Zhang, someone online has started a trend tying He Jinxia and Sheng Yan together, intending to slander He Jinxia by associating her with the heat around Sheng Yan. Seven marketing accounts have already posted this message."
Zhang Ming pondered for a while, "Alright, let’s release a message to suppress this."
"What message?"
He lowered his gaze, remembering something Sheng Yan had told him before, and slowly said, "Previously, during the filming of ’Dimension Space’ at the set, Sheng Yan accidentally had a filming accident and was sent to the hospital immediately."
"The accident was minor, and he quickly recovered and resumed filming,"
An analyst paused, eyes widening slightly, her heart skipping a beat—
If this news was true, it would definitely be explosive!
Publishing news about Sheng Yan’s injury online was a decision made together by Sheng Yan and Zhang Ming after discussion.
In the entertainment circle, nothing can truly be kept secret; many people had witnessed Sheng Yan’s injury on the day it happened.
Everyone is still at the set with the director keeping things under control, so no one dares to spread the word, but once filming is done and everyone goes their separate ways, who knows how this news might get out.
Rather than speculating about who might use this news to create trouble in the future, it’s better to take control and release it themselves. If there are any major reveals later, they will be prepared to respond.
To reveal all the details at once is impossible. Sheng Yan’s side must also consider the reputation of the production crew, so they can only tell a half-truth, downplaying the severity of the injury as much as possible.
If the fans knew he was injured in the leg by a falling object and had lain unconscious in the hospital for two days, they might angrily boycott the movie, a situation neither Sheng Yan nor the production crew wanted to see.
Sheng Yan’s side decided to release the news only after consulting with Rogels, since they were collaborators and didn’t want things to become too strained.
Rogels initially disagreed, but after a meticulous consideration of the serious consequences of hiding the truth, he finally agreed. The production team had prepared several public relations strategies. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Zhang Ming had planned to release this news in a few days, never anticipating it would be today.
After all, Strongest Female Trainee was currently trending. Releasing this news now would be like stealing their own trending spot.
Unfortunately, plans can’t keep up with changes. With online public opinion changing in an instant, Zhang Ming, seeing that He Jinxia’s and Sheng Yan’s fans were probably going to clash, preemptively released the news.
Once the news of "Sheng Yan getting injured during filming" was released, it undoubtedly topped the trending list!
It overshadowed everything else, and even the netizens following Strongest Female Trainee and Rescue 5 Hours couldn’t help but discuss under this news.
[Luckily the injury isn’t severe, otherwise I’d be heartbroken. My husband has never suffered so much.]
[What does the production crew say? It was their filming accident; they should take full responsibility!]
[The Imperial Army has received the news; it’s a minor injury and nothing serious. It was only shared with the fans to prevent future false rumors by the media, which would cause unnecessary worry.]
[This news wasn’t officially released but put out by gossip marketers. Who knows if it’s true or false, it could just be another senseless hype.]
[Poor Sheng Yan, just because he’s a superstar, gossip marketers keep making up things about him. Last time I saw online that he was married to some celebrity, and the time before that, he supposedly had a few-year-old child, and before that, he was in a five-year relationship with someone...]
[Right, everyone don’t panic, it’s not officially confirmed. Just take it with a grain of salt, don’t fully believe it yet, and let someone verify it first.]
