Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Direct, Act and Hype Yourself

[Guess what happened here, I feel like Li Li’s right side of the face seems a bit red, did He Jinxia slap her in the hospital room?]

[Slapping seems likely, Li Li’s right side of the face is indeed a bit red.]

[Slapping +1, if it wasn’t for a slap, why would Li Li cry? She must have cried out of humiliation.]

[Wait, why did He Jinxia slap Li Li?] This comment appeared, and bystanders began to speculate.

[Fat Emperor is ill, in the hospital, could it be that Li Li did something to offend Fat Emperor on the set?]

[It must be a conflict that arose from the set, but no matter what happened, slapping someone until they cry is too much.]

[It’s extremely excessive!!]

Suddenly, "He Jinxia acting pretentious and slapping people," "He Jinxia is excessive," "He Jinxia makes life difficult for others" ... these comments dominated the screen; at the same time, not only this entertainment marketing account, but other similar accounts also began sharing the news.

For a moment, the hashtag #HeJinxiaActsPretentiousAndSlapsPeople skyrocketed to the top of hot search, breaking into the top ten, ranking sixth!

In less than half an hour, with neither the production team nor Li Li coming forward to respond, the incident had been labeled as "He Jinxia acting pretentious" and even made it onto the hot search. He Jinxia did not believe there wasn’t a "Water Army" manipulating everything behind the scenes.

After reading through the entire press release, He Jinxia refreshed the topics on W blog.

Because it had made it to the trending list, more netizens became aware of the issue, and everyone was discussing it:

[Fat Emperor couldn’t possibly be acting pretentious, she was merely a has-been B-list celebrity when she was filming "Chen Xiaohui, Go Forward!" How could she act pretentious?]

[It seems some people have forgotten the fear dominated by headlines of "He Jinxia’s weight loss" at the start of every month last year, Fat Emperor past her prime? Being past her prime is impossible, she definitely wasn’t washed up at that time!]

[Not a fan of Fat Emperor, but I do have a good impression of her. If it was just because Li Li did something wrong on set and she went to slap her face, sorry, I’m losing my good impression.]

...

Public opinion is just such a strange thing.

It cannot invade a person’s thoughts, yet it can influence one’s thinking, disrupt someone’s rational judgments, and gradually guide them to think in a completely opposite direction.

He Jinxia suddenly became curious about this phenomenon of public opinion.

If she hadn’t experienced it herself, knowing Li Li had simply come to apologize and then began crying on her own, watching all the framing press releases on W blog, she would have thought she really did slap Li Li!

Just like there were no paths in the world originally, but when many people walk on the way, it turns into a path, there was initially no such incident, but the more people talk about it, the more it seems to become real.

After scrolling through some more comments, He Jinxia turned off W blog and explained the situation to her worried mother, Mrs. He, in the group chat.

Knowing that Li Li had just started crying on her own initiative, Mrs. He breathed a sigh of relief and sent a voice message saying:

"Ah, the girl wanted to cry herself, what does it have to do with you? Nowadays, media just makes up anything to draw attention, completely lacking in professional ethics!"

He Jinxia converted the information into text and, upon seeing the sentence, couldn’t help but smile and typed a reply:

"Mom, that’s why they aren’t called journalists, they are called paparazzi!"

Reflecting on the paparazzi, He Jinxia thought for a moment, shook her head slightly, a hint of helplessness crossing her face. She actually hoped the paparazzi were not so professional; their 24-hour surveillance wasn’t just for fun.

Aunt Rui also came online at that moment and consoled, "Jinxia, don’t bother with those messy news stories. Heaven is watching what you do, and if you haven’t done anything wrong, you haven’t. Those people are misunderstanding now, but they will understand later.

A person’s true nature is revealed through countless big and small things, not just through a baseless press release meant to frame someone."

"Just like Yanyan, I remember when he first shot to fame with his debut film, there were plenty of people who jumped out to say he was only popular because of his looks, that he had no talent. Later, Yanyan still won that ’Best Supporting Actor’ and proved himself, and those people stopped their accusations."

Sheng Yan had no idea how long he had been lurking, but right after Aunt Rui spoke, he sent a message: "Right."

Shortly after, he sent another line: "Don’t think too much, time will prove everything."

He Jinxia, looking at their encouragement, felt a warmth surge in her calm heart, slightly dazed.

In fact, she wasn’t concerned about rumors and slander. She had faced even harsher vitriol in her past life and had long since come to terms with it; besides, she believed in Luo You’s PR skills, confident that he would handle the situation well.

Meeting so many good people in this life truly made it much better than her last. With these people around, how could she bear to close off her heart and become a completely cold person?

At the same time, on the other side of the ocean, Sheng Yan was lying on a soft, large bed experiencing jet lag while reading a script.

After seeing the Weibo post shared by Mrs. He, Sheng Yan immediately called Zhang Ming, instructing him to follow up on the matter.

After hanging up the call, he also sent a comforting message, and soon He Jinxia replied:

"Don’t worry, I really don’t mind these things. What’s undone is undone. I am guilt-free. Brother Sheng Yan is right, time will prove everything ^_^"

Seeing this, Sheng Yan felt slightly relieved, the frown on his face smoothing.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Ming called him.

"He Jinxia is fine; the crew has officially clarified the matter using their official Weibo account. Li Li was just visiting, and they also disclosed the reason for He Jinxia’s hospitalization—it was due to fainting from exhaustion from diligent acting, which somewhat restored He Jinxia’s image.

Li Li also used her own Weibo account to dispel rumors, saying she felt guilty because He Jinxia had to keep repeating scenes due to her (Li Li’s) poor condition during their scenes together, which led to He Jinxia’s exhaustion and hence Li Li cried when visiting her.

Moreover, Weibo and various self-media channels also saw many insiders describing the situation when He Jinxia fainted, which shifted the public’s attention from diva behavior to professionalism, essentially resolving He Jinxia’s crisis. However—"

Zhang Ming paused, then spoke seriously: "This whole storm was whipped up from the start, with ’He Jinxia’s diva behavior’ trending within half an hour of the news breaking, with insufficient evidence. It’s clearly a manipulation.

The signs of buying PR accounts for promotions and hiring a Water Army to set the tune are too obvious. He Jinxia was targeted this time.

You know how things are in the entertainment circle; whoever benefits the most from this situation is likely the culprit. Therefore, in my analysis, this was a scenario concocted and hyped by Li Li herself!"

Zhang Ming made his conclusion, waiting for Sheng Yan’s next instruction.
