Full-time actor

the next day.

Chen Yu got up very early; he needed to hold a joint press conference with Anne Hathaway today.

This is not a compromise regarding this incident.

It is a necessary and mandatory procedure.

After all, this matter is affecting more than just him.

The Dark Knight is currently showing in theaters, so they certainly shouldn't let such baseless rumors affect their work.

As for Nolan—

I had already sent a message to Chen Yu long ago.

Gwyneth Paltrow probably didn't sleep all night, otherwise she wouldn't have called Nolan so early in the morning.

The final result can be imagined.

She would naturally not back down when it came to exposing Weinstein's misdeeds.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei were already dressed neatly.

The press conference is at 7 p.m., and Nolan will pick them up after the event.

Chen Yu was not required to appear at today's publicity event.

To be precise, given how things have developed, we certainly cannot allow Chen Yu to show his face again until we have a firm grasp of the situation.

The online public opinion remains unabated.

Huayi.

The Wang brothers had become complacent and overconfident, and it must be said that this time they finally gave Chen Yu a big setback.

The entire internet is criticizing this incident.

From now on, there's no way he'll have any more chances to turn things around.

"Now we'll see how Chen Yu handles this. Right now, the entire internet is probably avoiding him like the plague."

Wang Zhonglei was clearly gloating.

No matter what, even if Bruce Lee and The Dark Knight were very successful, the stain on his record will prevent him from making any more waves.

"Now we just have to wait for public opinion to continue to ferment."

"While we can't bring him down from his pedestal in one fell swoop, it's certainly impossible for him to rise again in the short term."

Wang Zhongjun's gaze fell on the computer in front of him.

They certainly can't be too happy until the matter is completely resolved.

but--

Seeing Chen Yu so frustrated, he naturally felt very pleased.

Since this young upstart appeared in the entertainment industry, the entire climate has changed dramatically, and even their company has been affected.

"Weinstein really did a good job."

"This guy has too many media channels under his control!"

"If it had only spread within the mainland, it would have been unlikely to have such a wide impact."

The two brothers couldn't wait to open a bottle of champagne and celebrate.

"Now both of us have fulfilled our dreams."

"The Oscar judges are unlikely to award a prize to a disgraced artist."

……

Lincoln Center.

The area outside the venue was now packed with media reporters.

The huge circular fountain is currently releasing surging water.

The afterglow of the setting sun is painting the entire earth.

The sound of the rushing water could not drown out the discussions among the media reporters.

Everyone was already excited when the news was released yesterday.

This is Chen Yu and Anne Hathaway.

These two celebrities, who hold extremely high positions in the entertainment industry, have enough scandals alone to excite the world.

Unlike in the past, this time everyone was critical and interrogative.

If this is true, it will definitely cause a huge uproar in the industry.

The entire internet is paying attention to this.

This is no longer just ordinary entertainment news, after all, the influence of these two people has reached an unprecedented level.

If the verification proves it to be true, the whole world will be shocked.

6:30 p.m.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei rushed to the scene.

Nolan shouldn't have been there, but it happened at a promotional event for The Dark Knight.

If not handled properly, the affected area can be very large.

Chen Yu looked at Liu Yifei, whose beautiful face was now somewhat clouded with worry.

Liu Yifei has been by his side these past two days because of his situation.

In Chen Yu's view, it was also unfair to Liu Yifei.

Instinctively, I reached out and grabbed the hand of the person in front of me.

The latter, however, slowly came to his senses.

Liu Yifei trusted Chen Yu from beginning to end. The only variable was the media reporters; she was unsure how they would report on the matter.

The recent heated discussions are clearly hostile towards Chen Yu.

She certainly didn't want things to escalate.

"rest assured."

Just two words were all it took to dispel the worries that had been weighing on Liu Yifei's mind for the past few days.

The two got out of the car.

Anne Hathaway had been waiting backstage for a long time, and when she saw the two of them appear, she could only shrug helplessly.

"Sorry."

"I am truly sorry, I know it must have caused you trouble."

This statement was clearly directed at Liu Yifei.

The latter shook his head.

"Annie, you're the one who's being troubled!"

Women understand women.

In fact, this incident had a significant impact on both Chen Yu and Anne Hathaway.

The body is not afraid of the shadow slanting.

Even so, who would want such news to break during the prime of their career?

Chen Yu did not say much.

At this moment.

He was already anticipating what would happen next.

The three appeared in the very center of the venue.

The arched round table completely blocked the media reporters from the audience.

Upon noticing their presence, major authoritative media outlets swarmed to them.

"Hey Chan, is the rumored affair between you and Anne Hathaway true?"

"Crystal, how did you feel when you heard that your fiancé was cheating on you?"

“Annie, knowing that Chan has a girlfriend, isn’t it a bit inappropriate for the two of you to have such excessive contact?”

The questions came flooding in.

The language is sharp and dangerous.

Since the news broke yesterday, they had already prepared the questions they wanted to ask.

There are doubts about this matter.

Chen Yu has always been seen as a very responsible celebrity in the public eye.

I've never seen him involved in any scandals.

This is the first time that a nationwide boycott has occurred.

Many people firmly believe this.

After all, there are countless celebrities who fall in love while working on a film or television project these days, and even someone of Chen Yu's stature is probably no exception.

Anne Hathaway looked down at the audience, feeling a sudden headache coming on.

They definitely need to handle this issue properly today.

Such a sensitive topic could certainly affect their future if not handled properly.

Anne Hathaway cleared her throat.

Since the incident began, her team has been conducting a series of public relations efforts.

Even the scripts for their speeches have been prepared.

She let out a long breath; this was the first time she had ever clarified something like this.

Hello everyone from the media!

"The main reason for holding today's press conference is to address some unfounded rumors circulating online about me and Chan."

All the cameras and microphones were aimed at the three people on the stage.

Everyone could see that Liu Yifei looked much more haggard than when she had just landed in Los Angeles a couple of days ago. This undoubtedly gave them an opportunity to speculate.

After all, she wouldn't be in this state if nothing had happened.

"I deny interfering in other people's relationships."

“These rumors have caused enormous harm and distress to me, Chan, and his fiancée Crystal, whom he cares about most.”

"I hope everyone can stop this kind of behavior that harms others."

"Don't spread unfounded rumors."

Anne Hathaway's stance is extremely clear.

In this situation, she had to be extremely firm.

Most of the media outlets in front of us are among the more authoritative entertainment media in North America.

No matter what the message is, once it's released, it becomes a household name.

They naturally cannot afford to leave any evidence against them.

However, there will still be some media outlets that stir up trouble.

Their mission was to confuse people and condemn the relationship between Chen Yu and Anne Hathaway.

Chen Yu remained silent.

This was a process that Nolan and his team had agreed upon beforehand.

Weinstein's main target was Chen Yu.

He wanted to dethrone Chen Yu so that no one would compete with him for the Oscar.

This way.

People don't take an overly critical view of Anne Hathaway's remarks.

It might be better if she spoke the truth first, and then Chen Yu relayed it.

"Thank you all for being here today."

Chen Yu's voice rang out.

This made everyone look over with even greater enthusiasm and excitement.

As a highly anticipated film star, everyone is eager to see how he will explain this scandalous news.

Regardless, today's firsthand information is unlikely to be bad.

"The result will disappoint everyone."

Liu Yifei listened quietly, her palms already damp with sweat.

but.

His gaze, however, remained steadfast as he looked down at the audience.

As Chen Yu's partner, she wouldn't allow herself to show weakness in this situation.

"These statements posted online are all false."

“I love my fiancée Crystal deeply.”

Liu Yifei looked up at the man beside her.

His gaze was gentle yet firm, settling steadily on where she was.

A smile spread across Liu Yifei's lips.

Their hands were already firmly clasped together.

"She is the most important person in my life."

"But it was this false rumor that made her anxious and worried about me."

"Now, I want to tell everyone clearly."

"I have not had any improper dealings with Ms. Anne Hathaway."

"I hope this matter ends here. If there are any further malicious speculations or disseminations, I will reserve my rights in accordance with the law."

The media reporters present paused for a moment.

However, some people still raised questions.

"What evidence do you have to prove that this is a rumor? The internet is flooded with intimate photos of you and Annie."

The media reporters in the audience asked questions.

It's clear that they won't give up until they achieve their goal.

The more so.

Chen Yuyue was eagerly anticipating what would happen next.

He wanted Weinstein to shoot himself in the foot; the bigger the mess, the more unmanageable it would become.

"Facts are the best evidence."

"We have never had any inappropriate communication in private."

Reporters began asking questions.

However, Chen Yu and Anne Hathaway's attitude was so resolute that they didn't have any chance to attack for a while.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Nolan glanced at the time; it was time for the real show to begin.

Just as everyone was unwilling to let go of the three people in front of them, The New York Times published an article.

Instantly, a bloodbath swept across North America.

Harvey Weinstein paid hush money for sexual harassment allegations for years.

The entire report encompasses all of Weinstein's allegations of sexual harassment against actresses in recent years.

Besides--

The report included allegations made by Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow.

From sexual harassment to rape.

They meticulously handled every detail, bringing this matter to its climax.

as predicted.

As the media continued to ask questions, people began to whisper about the matter.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei are answering questions from reporters.

Just then, a voice pierced through the crowd.

"Chan, what are your thoughts on the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault case?"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

In a short moment, everyone was speechless with astonishment.

What?

Is this okay to ask?
It should be noted that Weinstein's sexual assault was already an open secret.

Everyone knew about it to some extent.

However, no action was taken in response.

However, why would anyone ask about this in such a formal setting?
Chen Yu's expression remained unchanged.

However, he already knew in his heart that Weinstein was about to face unprecedented trouble.

"terribly sorry."

"I have no right to discuss other people's private matters."

however.

The media reporters in the audience were visibly restless.

The fact that Weinstein sexually assaulted her has been brought to the public eye.

You should know that this is already an open secret.

Despite numerous reports from female celebrities and media outlets, Weinstein did not suffer any substantial harm.

So much so that people have long since become accustomed to it.

But why has it reappeared in the public eye this time?

On many occasions, Weinstein used his powerful legal team, private investigators, and media connections to exert pressure.

Is it possible?
There's no safety net this time?
The media reporters had long since given up on asking any further questions.

Compared to obviously fake cheating news, they would much rather see explosive reports of sexual assault.

Especially since the person involved this time is Weinstein.

Why would this shrewd strategist release such news at such an ordinary moment?
Our statement concludes here.

"As for what's next—"

"We hope there will be no more false rumors online, otherwise we will take legal action next time and sue the people who spread the rumors."

This attitude has long been clear.

The media reporters in the audience naturally had no chance to say anything else.

They are now focused on figuring out what happened to Weinstein.

To be precise, Chen Yu's situation is nothing compared to the bigger picture.

Not only that.

Both Chen Yu's and Anne Hathaway's attitudes have proven that this story is fabricated.

Those who can survive in authoritative media outlets must have exceptional minds.

We will not dwell on this matter any further.

The press conference has now concluded.

Now, let's see how Weinstein will defend his foolish actions. (End of Chapter)
