"Ok director, I'll do it right away!" Wen Yan replied enthusiastically in the group chat with Su Yang.
"Mom, it's not true. My second brother and I are innocent."
Shen Jinghe: ...It's weird to see the word "innocent," but she's not wrong.
"The reason is that I offended a troublemaker in the crew before and sent him to the police station. Then the crew fired him. So now he hates me and the director. He's doing all these tricks to mess with us! Trash! You can't even find such scum in the garbage dump! Despicable bastard!"
Shen Jinghe: ...She said it'll be done right away, but she's still chatting. By the way, is she using her thumbs to type with both hands at the same time?
"And my second brother and I are currently in a meeting with the crew, discussing countermeasures. I'll call you after we're done here. It's not convenient now."
"Okay, as long as both of you are fine. I couldn't reach you earlier, I was worried."
"By the way, if your crew can't handle it, leave it to your family."
"Okay, mom, but I think my brother and I can handle this. We're going to the meeting now!"
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Wen Yan typed very quickly, and she soon put down her phone.
On the other hand, Shen Jinghe had been staring at the screen the whole time without making any moves.
Zhou Junye glanced at him and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you going to explain to your family?"
Shen Jinghe put his phone back in his pocket. "I already explained."
Zhou Junye: "??? When? I didn't see you do it manually."
Shen Jinghe didn't change his expression. "You must have seen it wrong."
"Is that so?" Zhou Junye was confused, but he quickly accepted this explanation.
Yes, he must have missed it.
Wen Yan: [Shen Jinghe, you're really good at acting! I give you props, 666]
Shen Jinghe glanced at Wen Yan and was speechless.
Could this be considered acting? This is called not showing emotions, it's innate, something a rookie like me can't envy!
After this little incident, everyone soon began discussing countermeasures.
Zhou Junye said, "I can explain the camping incident in a post. That night, it wasn't just the two of you in the same car. According to their claims, if two people were having sex in the car, then what about the other four people? Would that be an orgy? It's really ridiculous. The crew took a lot of videos that night, and I can release higher quality ones."
"As for the landslide, it was caused by a force majeure. It's absurd that this kind of incident is being blamed on us actors. It just shows that some fans have lost their ability to think critically, and this public opinion is in the wrong direction."
"So, Jinghe, although you were the victim throughout this public opinion incident, and no one has criticized you, only shown concern for you, it seems like it hasn't affected you at all. But I think you should come out and guide public opinion, what do you think?"
"Of course, I will clarify. I have a responsibility to do so."
Zhou Junye nodded, then looked at Wen Yan. "Wen Yan, you're still a newcomer, and if this situation isn't handled well, it could be disastrous for you. Your acting career might end before it even starts here."
"So my advice is to play it safe. Right now, the biggest issue for you is Shen Jinghe's fans. After I and the crew release our statements, you can comment and repost and even write a short essay. But don't get involved with Shen Jinghe's side, otherwise people will say you're just trying to ride on his popularity."
Before Wen Yan could react, Shen Jinghe spoke up.

"I object. Since it's a clarification and all these allegations are false, why can't we interact openly and honestly? Not only will I release a statement, but I will also @ Wen Yan when I do."
"A lot of people in the industry generate CP rumors and when they're forced to clarify, they're usually already in a conflict. Not only do fans start tearing each other apart, but even the parties involved turn on each other in secret. People who have this kind of relationship won't interact with each other, and they won't work together in the future."
"But it's different for me and Wen Yan. We're colleagues in the same crew now, and we'll have intersections in the future when the movie is released. I don't think playing dead is the best option for her."
"What about your fans?"
"If Wen Yan and I act openly and honestly, the fans won't have any complaints."
Zhou Junye paused and looked at Wen Yan. "What do you think?"
Wen Yan thought carefully and said, "I agree with Mr. Shen's proposal. I think as long as I can handle the interaction properly, Shen Jinghe's fans won't dislike it. However..."
"You may speak.”
"You said."
"The most important thing is to find evidence that proves Zhang Cheng orchestrated this. Once we can expose him as the mastermind, the tide will turn, and we won't even need to explain ourselves. He will become the target of public criticism."
"You're right, but it will take time and a lot of financial resources to expose him."
Yeah, just the thought of spending a lot of money makes Wen Yan sick.
That damn Zhang Cheng, he made money selling fake materials, and now they have to spend money to expose him!
"Well, let's do it this way!" Zhou Junye continued, "Let's each release a statement, and then I'll reveal that we are currently investigating the mastermind behind the scenes to guide public opinion. Oh, Wen Yan, send me your copywriting first after you finish it. I'll confirm it's okay before you release it."
"Okay!"
"Well, that's it for today. Someone online has already revealed our shooting location, so it might get lively soon. You all go rest first, we have to start shooting early tomorrow."
The filming progress cannot be delayed, so everyone left the director's room one by one.
But Wen Yan was lingering until the end.
Shen Jinghan noticed her odd behavior and turned around to look at her.
However, Wen Yan was lost in her thoughts and didn't even notice Shen Jinghan's gaze.
Just then, a crew member approached Shen Jinghan: "Teacher Shen, I'd like to discuss the adjustments to tomorrow's notice with you. Do you have time now?"
"Yes."
"Then let's talk while we walk."
"Okay."
Shen Jinghan left with the crew member.
At the same time, Zhou Junye also noticed Wen Yan.
"Do you need anything else?"
Wen Yan nodded, her eyes forming crescent moons as she smiled.
"Director, I heard you say earlier that it might cost a lot of money to expose Zhang Cheng, right?"
"Yes, it's a hot gossip involving a top star, so it's very popular. If we want to handle it, we have to pay a price."
"That's true. And in this whole situation, Shen Jinghan hasn't been affected negatively at all. It's actually me and you, the director, who are the true victims. So logically, Shen Jinghan shouldn't have to pay for this. But director, I don't have any money either!"
"You don't have money?" Zhou Junye raised an eyebrow with a smirk. "Technically, this is the crew's matter because if our reputation is damaged, it will also affect our entire film. But if we replace you, the crew won't suffer any losses."
