How to capture the evil villain? I choose to be his mother!

Chapter 426 The Most Disliked Actress's Mother in the Entertainment Industry (38)
Zhu Wen called Xu Qing and talked about what happened yesterday.

Netizens are truly amazing.

After the video circulated overnight, they finally identified Zhu Wen's true identity based on facial comparisons.

Two weeks ago, the production team of the movie "Black" officially announced the supporting actors.

It started last night when someone posted about it on a certain platform.

Gradually, more and more people started reposting it, and it gradually spread across the entire internet.

Even though the production team noticed the situation and consciously tried to reduce the news coverage.

However, the number of viewers for yesterday's video was simply too large, topping the charts on all major platforms and sparking countless discussions. It would be extremely difficult to completely suppress the public opinion.

By this morning, the matter had completely become uncontrollable and was likely to be revealed to the public soon!
Xu Qing called early in the morning, also about this matter.

他 说:

“The current public opinion is very unfavorable to you. Everyone thinks that yesterday’s incident was a publicity stunt… What should we do?”

Zhu Wen did not answer, but instead scrolled through the trending topics that had climbed to the bottom of the hot search list.

I believe this hashtag will reach the top of the list in less than an hour.

#Zhai Ling and her mother directed and starred in their own production#
The comments below are all negative:
【Are you sure it's the same person? I even criticized Xu Qing's supporting role as the cleaning lady before, but yesterday I was a huge fan of Zhai Ling's mother! And now you're telling me they're the same person?】

[My god, what level of makeup skill is this? To actually transform someone's appearance like this! It's not just about looking better, it's like looking twenty years younger!]

[Haha, I genuinely spoke up for them yesterday, and I was even moved! And what happened? Another self-directed and self-acted drama, enough is enough!]

[So it turns out that Yue Yu and Cheng You were all just a part of a mother-daughter act! Who would have thought these two could have everyone so easily manipulated!]

[I'm just curious who's behind them? They can use Yue Yu and Cheng You to whitewash Zhai Ling's image, and they can also get Zhai Ling's biological mother into Xu Qing's drama as a major supporting character... Their influence is incredible!]

Want to know? Then go check out the mysterious bigwig who appeared at the end of yesterday's video. I can't say his name, but a quick search of financial news should bring up his name. If this man is behind Zhai Ling and her mother, then it wouldn't be surprising at all.

[Wow, I found it, but I can't believe my eyes... It really is the person I thought it was? So this is why Zhai Ling was able to turn things around?]

This is truly a juicy scoop! I'm just curious whether the woman who's with that big shot is the daughter or the mother...

[They might be mother and daughter...]

【Ugh! How disgusting!】

……

Zhu Wen's brows were furrowed tightly.

What are these people saying?

Xu Qing roughly guessed what news Zhu Wen had seen, and coughed awkwardly:

"Many people online have really foul mouths, don't take them to heart."

Zhu Wen remained silent, took a screenshot and saved it, preparing to send it to his lawyer later to file a lawsuit!

Xu Qing naturally knew that Zhu Wen was not that kind of person.

During the time he spent with her, Xu Qing deeply felt Zhu Wen's special qualities.

However, although he thought this way, the investors behind him did not!
Xu Qing usually relies on his reputation as a genius director to do whatever he wants, changing actors whenever he wants.

But that was under the condition that the investors all knew his movie was guaranteed to make a profit.

What if the actors he insists on choosing negatively impact the film itself, which hasn't even been released yet? Even the investors can't let Xu Qing do whatever he wants. Although they won't do anything to Xu Qing, they can use various methods to force Zhu Wen to leave voluntarily.

Xu Qing was aware of the methods these investors used and was deeply worried about them.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Wen did not rush to reply.
"I'll think about it some more and try my best not to affect the movie. If it does, I'll withdraw from the project."

Xu Qing was shocked and cried out to stop him.

Despite this, Zhu Wen persisted.

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Wen thought for a moment and found a number in his phone's notes.

"Hello, is this the production team of 'Mother and Daughter Together'? I heard you're currently in the pre-production stage and selecting celebrities for the show? Oh, I'm not an agent, I'm more of an actor. My name is Zhu Wen, and my name is currently sixth on the trending searches... oh no, it's already second, well, first. I wonder if you'd be interested in having us participate in the show?"

What is the best way to quell controversy?
That is to find out a bigger controversy!

If Zhu Wen brings Zhai Ling, who has been absent from the camera for a long time, onto a reality show, what will the netizens think?
They'll watch and criticize simultaneously, creating countless online topics.

Anyway, Zhu Wen and Zhai Ling believed they were upright and had nothing to fear.

All issues will be resolved naturally in the variety show, and there's no need for online trolls to stir things up.

Zhu Wen quickly finalized the itinerary.

Only then did she forget that she hadn't told anyone else.

The first person I would talk to is Zhai Ling, but she has never had any objections to my decisions and will definitely agree to participate in this reality show.

The second is Xie Ji and Xie Huan. Since they'll definitely be filming a reality show, they'll need to come to the house, and it won't be convenient for them to stay at the Xie family's house. It would be better for them to move back to Zhai Ling's small apartment.

Zhu Wen went downstairs and soon saw Zhai Ling, telling her his thoughts.

As she expected, Zhai Ling did not object at all.

It seemed that if Zhu Wen said it was good, then everything about her would be good.

This shows Zhai Ling's unconditional trust in Zhu Wen!
Zhu Wen smiled.

Then he turned around and went to find Xie Ji and Xie Huan.

Xie Huan didn't see anyone.

Xie Ji took the initiative to walk towards her.

Zhu Wen: "We plan to move back."

Xie Ji: "Let's make it public."

Zhu Wen: "Public?"

Xie Ji: "Move away?"

Both of them had somewhat strange expressions.

Of course, Xie Ji reacted even more strongly.

His hands, hanging tightly at his sides, were clenched tightly, and his lips were almost pressed into a straight line.
"Why are you moving out? Are you trying to cut ties with me?"

Zhu Wen tilted his head in confusion:
“Draw a line? Of course not. I plan to participate in a reality show with Xiaoling. We’ll start filming at home. We can’t film at the Xie family’s house. It’s best to go back. Anyway, there are so many staff members filming the show, so it doesn’t matter if there are a few more paparazzi.”

Xie Ji breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving an answer that was completely different from what he had expected.

"So it wasn't because of me... That's perfect, let the production crew come to the Xie family's house to film. That way, it'll be easier to make our relationship public."
