Peninsula: The idol by the bedside refreshes randomly.

The topic is still being hotly discussed online.

However, public opinion has shifted from discussing why Chen Ran was boycotted by his seniors and his nationality to simply being a bystander.

Chen Ran, this newcomer, is actually a student of screenwriter Kim Eun-sook.

The two famous screenwriters, Kim Eun-sook and Jin Soo-wan, have been clashing online.

Kim Eun-sook also posted two updates in support of her students, and stated that she would purge some self-proclaimed sycophants from within the Writers Guild.

Only a small group of people continued to bring up Chen Ran's nationality, but they were quickly drowned out by the voices of the general public.

Shortly after Kim Eun-sook posted her second update, HD Entertainment also officially released a statement.

HD is a company that upholds the values ​​of inclusiveness and openness. Just as Peninsula welcomes talents from all countries to join us, all outstanding talents, regardless of nationality, are welcome to join our family.

Regarding the malicious defamation of our screenwriter Chen Ran by some individuals online, our company has completed evidence collection and reserves the right to pursue legal action. We urge the public to cease all malicious actions.

...

"HD has also issued a statement, and the online public opinion should be further reversed soon."

Lee Eung-bok glanced at the announcement just released by HD Company, then turned to Chen Ran. "This time it was a close call, Ran. I really didn't know you were actually screenwriter Kim Eun-sook's student."

He was initially worried that the TV series would be forced to stop due to public opinion, but after learning that Kim Eun-sook was Chen Ran's teacher, his worries disappeared instantly.

If you had just said you were Kim Eun-sook's student, I wouldn't have had to worry.

This screenwriter's influence in the industry is beyond doubt.

Kim Eun-sook had never taken on any students before, so Chen Ran's becoming her student meant he was highly valued. How could she just stand by and watch her student be dragged into trouble for no reason?

Not only did Chen Ran escape danger, but the drama "School 2013" also benefited from the misfortune, indirectly attracting a lot of attention.

He just saw online that many people are curious about the drama "School 2013," which can be considered a hit even before it airs.

"I became the teacher's student only recently."

Chen Ran replied with a smile, then glanced around.

"It seems that the online public opinion has somewhat affected the normal filming of the production crew."

The staff around him were clearly also watching the drama unfold online, glancing down at their phones and then secretly looking at Chen Ran.

Chen Ran thought for a moment and said to Li Yingfu, "Brother Yingfu, how about we..." A few minutes later, Chen Ran got up from his seat and took the megaphone handed to him by a staff member.

The staff who had just received the notification, along with Jung Soo-jung and Ham Eun-jung, all looked at the screenwriter who had just caused a huge uproar online, waiting for him to speak.

Chen Ran glanced around and said, "I believe everyone has seen the online comments to some extent. I am very sorry that the filming of the crew has been delayed because of me. Since it happened so suddenly, I myself only found out recently."

"But don't worry, the crew's work will not be affected by this."

No one present doubted Chen Ran's words.

They all saw the reversal on the internet.

They never expected that their newly debuted screenwriter would actually be a student of screenwriter Kim Eun-sook.

With such a powerful backer, they really have nothing to worry about, and they even have more confidence in their show.

Chen Ran continued, "However, I noticed that everyone seemed to be gossiping online and not really focused on their work. I can understand that; gossiping is human nature. It was because of me that everyone's mood was affected."

"So I just discussed it with the director and we decided to wrap up early today so everyone can go home and rest, and maybe enjoy some melon seeds."

Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but light up.

What?! They actually gave us a day off so we could go back and watch the drama unfold?! I've never heard of a day off for this reason before.

What kind of amazing leader is this?

"Thank you, screenwriter."

Some people instinctively shouted out loud, and even clapped, and then more and more people began to clap.

Chen Ran smiled and, after a few seconds of applause, raised his hand to quiet it down.

Everyone quickly stopped clapping, and the room fell silent again.

Seeing this, Li Yingfu raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

It seems that the impact of this public opinion, along with Chen Ran's status as Jin Enshu's student, has further enhanced his prestige within the production crew.

"But don't get too excited, everyone. The director and I didn't give you this vacation for nothing."

Chen Ran then changed the subject: "I hope that everyone can go back and adjust their mindset today, so that they can fully devote themselves to their work tomorrow."

"Everyone has seen the online opinions, which has led to our TV series receiving a lot of attention. This is actually a kind of pressure, so the director and I will set higher standards for the quality of the series. We hope everyone can be prepared."

Traffic is a double-edged sword; if used improperly, it can backfire. This is also true of Kim Eun-sook's identity as a student.

Chen Ran understood very well that while this identity brought him more attention, it also placed higher demands on him.

If the final quality of "School 2013" doesn't meet the expectations of viewers who feel it's not up to the standard expected of Kim Eun-sook's students, then she will face backlash.

Even those who targeted him online this time will use this as leverage to launch another attack after discovering that the quality of the drama is not good.

At that time, even Kim Eun-sook's strong support wouldn't have been effective.

"Especially the lead actors."

Chen Ran looked at Jung Soo-jung, Ham Eun-jung, and the others.

"The director and I will have higher expectations for your performances and strive to raise the overall quality of the show to a new level. You need to be mentally prepared."

When Jung Soo-jung, Ham Eun-jung, and the others met Chen Ran's serious gaze, they nodded solemnly as well.

They've all been in the entertainment industry for many years, so they naturally understand the dual nature of this wave of popularity.

If the TV series is of good quality and captures this wave of viewership, it will boost the series' ratings and even the actors' careers.

If the audience doesn't capitalize on the traffic, the bonus will naturally disappear, and even their performances in the drama will be deliberately amplified, negatively impacting them.

"Alright, everyone pack your things and then go back to rest."

"Okay, thank you screenwriter, thank you director."

The crew got busy again.

Chen Ran was fine, but he wasn't in a hurry to leave.

He stayed on set until everyone had finished packing before leaving.

During this time, he also paid attention to the development of online public opinion.

The online discussion has gradually subsided after HD issued its statement.

Interestingly, the Peninsula Writers Guild issued a statement ten minutes ago, saying it would cancel the membership of a group of people who have not created new works for a long time in order to promote the healthy development of the association.

This immediately matched the content of Kim Eun-sook's second post, leading many netizens to exclaim that Kim Eun-sook was true to her word, and the Writers Guild was clearly on Kim Eun-sook's side as well.

This announcement also caused another surge in online discussion.

As Chen Ran drove back to the villa and opened the door, Kim Tae-yeon's voice rang out, "Ran, you're back!"

Two seconds later, Kim Tae-yeon appeared at the entrance.

Jessica also appeared at the same time.

Both of them showed a hint of worry in their expressions.

Chen Ran looked at the two of them with some surprise.

"Sika's here too."

As soon as he changed his shoes and walked over, Kim Tae-yeon grabbed his hand and asked:

"Xiao Ran, are you alright? Have you dealt with all the online criticism?"

"Nuna, you knew all along?"

"Yes, Jin Ruanruan told me everything."

"Jessica Jung also told me," Jessica added.

Seeing the worry on their faces, Chen Ran smiled and comforted them, "It's all over now, Nuna. The teacher and Representative Yin are already handling this matter, and the public opinion has almost subsided."

"That's good."

Kim Tae-yeon and Jessica both breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

The three sat down on the sofa, and Kim Tae-yeon asked again, "What exactly happened, Ran? Why is there suddenly so much talk about you?"

"Yes, according to Jessica Jung, there must be someone behind this rapidly escalating public opinion. Do you know who it is?" Jessica frowned as well.

"Um... Representative Yin said..."

Chen Ran briefly explained the whole story to the two of them.

"But everything is fine now, the controversy has passed, and the TV series even received a lot of attention because of this controversy."

Kim Tae-yeon and Jessica nodded.

The three chatted for a while longer before Chen Ran stood up and said, "It's getting late, I'll go cook."

"it is good."

Kim Tae-yeon and Jessica watched Chen Ran walk towards the kitchen, their expressions remaining serious, their brows still slightly furrowed, lost in thought. However, their concern wasn't about a potential backlash from public opinion.

Chen Ran said that the public opinion has gradually calmed down, which means that the deputy director behind it has stopped pushing public opinion.

At least this storm has passed.

They were worried about something else entirely.

After a moment of thought, the two looked at each other and realized that they had the same idea.

"We need to find a way to keep a closer eye on Chen Ran," Jessica said softly.

Kim Tae-yeon nodded: "Yes, once Xiao Ran's identity as Kim Eun-sook's student is exposed, I wonder how many people in the acting industry will have designs on her."

In fact, they had anticipated this situation long ago.

What was unexpected was that Chen Ran's identity as Kim Eun-sook's student would be exposed so quickly.

"Okay, I'll talk to her about it."

---A few hours later, the online public opinion finally calmed down, but the aftershocks of this incident continued in some small circles related to Chen Ran.

In my childhood dormitory.

Apart from Kim Hyoyeon (Tiffany) who went out for drinks and Lim Yoona who hadn't finished her schedule yet, the other six were gathered in the living room.

"Wow, I never expected Chen Ran to be a student of screenwriter Kim Eun-sook."

Lee Soon-kyu lay sprawled on the sofa, eating outdated gossip online, looking on in astonishment.

She had a schedule in the afternoon, so she missed out on the latest gossip, which was a real shame for someone like her who's always on the front lines of gossip.

"Yes, I never expected Chen Ran to have such an identity," Kwon Yuri exclaimed from the side.

Choi Sooyoung's eyes darted around, then she moved closer to Jung Soo-yeon with a fawning smile on her face.

"Hehe, Jessica~"

Goosebumps instantly rose on Jessica Jung's arms, and she instinctively distanced herself slightly, saying warily:

"What are you doing?"

"Hey, could you... give me Chen Ran's contact information? Or maybe you could introduce Chen Ran to us sometime?" Of all the girls in Girls' Generation, only she, Kwon Yuri, and Seohyun hadn't met Chen Ran.

Choi Soo-young is aiming for an acting career, and since Chen Ran is Kim Eun-sook's student and someone she knows, she naturally wants to get to know him.

Jessica frowned upon hearing this, and couldn't help but think of what Jessica had told her that afternoon.

Sure enough, once Chen Ran's identity as Kim Eun-sook's student was exposed, the threat from the opposite sex around her became even greater.
