Chapter 47 - 47 46 Simple and Violent Clarification

Chapter 47: Chapter 46: Simple and Violent Clarification Chapter 47: Chapter 46: Simple and Violent Clarification That evening, Shen Jinghe posted a clarification statement on social media.

His statement was simple and blunt:

“No seduction, no car sex, no overnight stays alone as singles, no scheme against us, got stranded due to a natural disaster. Please do not believe or spread rumors, do not harm innocent people and the film crew. Our original intention is to produce a good movie. Thank you all for your concern! @Wenyan @Director Zhou Junye @The Film ‘Silent'”

As soon as Shen Jinghe’s clarification post was released, it immediately topped the trending search with the entry #ShenJingheClarification.

The comments, likes, shares, and views for his post broke a million within minutes and continued to skyrocket.

“Knew it, brother wouldn’t collapse the building, who was it just now saying brother wouldn’t dare to clarify? Face-slapped, right?”

“Worthy of the man I fancy, his clarification is straightforward, denying clearly the things he hasn’t done.”

“Right, right, I feel the same way. Some ambiguous statements just end up sending lawyer notices without saying anything clear, causing confusion as if playing guessing games with fans.”

“No, did you guys notice? It’s been an hour, and none of the people Jinghe @ mentioned have spoken up. What does this imply? With the trending search hanging there for so long, don’t tell me they plan to let our Hehe take the fall on his own?”

“Upstairs, I helped you check; @Director Zhou Junye just deleted a post in an instant. Although he deleted it quickly, my screenshot was quicker. Looking at his previous Weibo, obviously he wasn’t ready, accidentally posted. He probably planned to release evidence to hammer the whistleblower; it might take some time. *Picture JPG*”

“For real? Upstairs, your screenshot isn’t doctored, right? It seems from the director’s intention, someone wants to harm him and the film crew. Explosive! I’m definitely gobbling up this drama tonight!”

“Trash, for what reason does someone drag our Hehe into this, who has he provoked or offended?”

“Exactly, what in the world is this Wenyan about? She’s not trying to create hype, right?”

“It doesn’t seem like hype to me; if it were, why would Shen Jinghe still @ her? He is Shen Jinghe, after all, achieving his current status, how could he possibly collude with a nobody newcomer for publicity? More like he’s been hexed.”

“Yeah, some no-name @Wenyan pairing up for hype with our Brother He, does she even qualify?”

“Stop talking, upstairs, soon she will be known (crying with laughter). Geez, I just checked, @Wenyan’s account was registered just a few hours ago. In just one hour, she gained 300,000 followers! And the number is still soaring!”

“But what’s with the mindset of the people who follow her? She’s nobody, why give her the heat? I don’t understand.”

“Am I the only one curious about her next move? Following her means I get to see her updates immediately.”

“I, for one, won’t be following her.”

“400,000 now, my goodness, if only that traffic was mine, look at my home-brewed quality enzymes, please check me out.”

“This isn’t just traffic; it’s blatant fortune. Wenyan is going to be famous now!”

…After scrolling through these comments, Wenyan indeed felt the same way.

Good heavens, in such a short time, her brand new account without even a profile picture had amassed over four hundred thousand followers.

And they were all active followers.

Why say they are active followers?

Because her inbox had exploded.

Since her account was so new, so new it had not a single post, netizens had no place to comment and resorted to bombarding her private messages.

Wenyan took a rough look.

Currently, the private messages she received fell into two main categories.

One category was cursing her for shamelessly throwing herself at Shen Jinghe. Some even cursed her with the most vicious words.

The other was urging her to respond, asking when she would reply to Shen Jinghe, or pressuring her to post evidence to clear things up.

But Wenyan wasn’t planning to respond just yet.

After all, it had already been discussed in the meeting with the crew earlier. The director would clarify first and provide evidence, then it would be her turn.

As for the insane influx of followers, Wenyan was at first excited, but she soon calmed down.

She was clear-headed. These ever-increasing numbers were just followers of the platform, not her fans.

What she wanted were real audiences who appreciated her acting, not just onlookers interested in gossip and spectating.

So she quickly put down her phone and picked up the script to ponder the scenes she would shoot the next morning.

Finally, an hour later, Wenyan finished her nightly routine, joyfully applied a facial mask, and went to bed.

And the netizens finally got what they were waiting for – Zhou Junye had posted four updates in a row.

First, there was no improper relationship between him and the new actress Wenyan. She got her role through genuine talent and had nothing to do with any trade of favors.

Talking is no evidence. Zhou Junye also released a clip of Wenyan’s audition.

Second, the rumored improper ambiguous relationship between Wenyan and co-star Shen Jinghe was false. On the camping day, the entire film crew went, and when a sudden downpour started at night, everyone got into vehicles for shelter, not just the two of them alone. Being trapped in the mountains due to forces of nature, the two stayed in a local villager’s home but were not alone together; each had their own building.

Lots of photos support this claim.

Third, the personal scandals and crew scandals being spread online about him were all false. Up to this point, there had been only one incident in the crew, which had been dealt with promptly by the producers.

Attached is a screenshot of the notice about a person being detained for ten days for intentionally injuring a local extra and being fired from the crew.

Fourth, there was a behind-the-scenes instigator in this matter, and he assured everyone that he would get to the bottom of it, vindicate the actors of the crew, and make them bear the corresponding legal responsibility!

These four consecutive posts, containing text, photos, and high-definition videos, excited the onlooking crowd to no end.

And with it being Friday, everyone seemed eager to stay up all night for such juicy gossip.

“To be fair, Wenyan’s acting is quite good; if I were the director, I’d choose her too. The male actor she first performed with clearly wasn’t great, but he soon got drawn into the state by Wenyan, and his acting was inspired, their collaboration for that segment was pretty perfect.”

“Didn’t see clearly in the blurry pictures leaked earlier, but is Wenyan really that beautiful? She’s so pretty! A striking presence to the eyes!”

“Doesn’t anyone else think the male actor performing with Wenyan looks very decent? He’s my type, not many like him in entertainment. I want all his information in three minutes.”

“Since he’s your type, I might as well help dig up some information.”
