Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, starting with the strategy of 95 flowers to counterattack

Chapter 139 Tian Xiwei is being framed?
Gu Yang turned off the music, walked to the center of the rehearsal room, put his hands in the pockets of his loose sweatpants, and looked down at Cheng Xiao.

“The theme of this dance is about a wedding.” His voice was low and carried a subtle meaning.

Cheng Xiao blinked: "A wedding?"

"Hmm." Gu Yang nodded, "But not the sweet kind."

He replayed the music, this time skipping directly to the chorus.

The eerie sound of the erhu suddenly rose, mixed with heavy drumbeats, as if joy concealed a blade.

“Here…” Gu Yang pointed to the beat, “The bride is smiling, but her fingertips are trembling.”

Cheng Xiao was slightly taken aback, then realized: "You mean... it's festive on the surface, but sad at its core?"

Gu Yang smiled slightly: "Smart."

Cheng Xiao's dance intuition was instantly ignited. She quickly walked to the mirror and tried out a few moves.

The arms stretched out like wings, but the fingertips curled slightly at the highest point, as if trying to grasp something, but ultimately giving up.

Gu Yang's eyes lit up: "Yes, that's the feeling."

He walked behind her, his hand lightly resting on her waist, his voice soft as he whispered in her ear: "Next, the groom will take the bride's hand..."

Cheng Xiao subconsciously reached out her hand, and Gu Yang's fingertips lightly brushed across her palm, touching briefly before separating, yet it felt like an electric current was flowing through them.

"Then, the wedding ceremony took place."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly knelt down on one knee, supporting her wrist with one hand and pressing the other hand against his chest, looking up at her.

Cheng Xiao's breath hitched.

This posture...

This looks way too much like a marriage proposal!
Her ears burned instantly, and her fingers curled involuntarily.

Zhou Jieqiong leaned against the wall, and the mineral water bottle in her hand was crushed with a "crack".

"My God..." she muttered to herself, "Who can handle this...?"

Gu Yang seemed completely oblivious to their reactions. He stood up and continued explaining calmly, "During the climax, the concert stops abruptly, and at that moment..."

He suddenly reached out and grabbed Cheng Xiao's wrist, turning her around swiftly and pulling her into his arms.

Cheng Xiao's back was pressed tightly against his chest, and he could clearly feel the rise and fall of his breathing.

“The bride is turning around.” His voice brushed past her ear, “as if she’s seen something terrible.”

Cheng Xiao's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of her chest, but she still professionally continued with the movements.

She turned her head abruptly, her eyes shifting from blankness to terror, and then to despair in one fluid motion.

Gu Yang chuckled softly: "Perfect."

Zhou Jieqiong had completely given up on managing her facial expressions, her mouth agape in an "O" shape.

“If this airs…” she murmured, “it’ll definitely be trending like crazy…”

Cheng Xiao broke free from Gu Yang's embrace, pretending to fix her hair to hide her flushed cheeks: "Where...where else needs adjusting?"

Gu Yang looked at her bright red ear tips, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

“The final ending pose,” he said slowly, “the bride falling into the groom’s arms, like…”

"Like he's dead?" Cheng Xiao asked instinctively.

Gu Yang nodded: "Yes."

Cheng Xiao pursed her lips, suddenly finding it hard to imagine the scene.

Meanwhile, on the director's side...

"Quickly! Close-up shots from multiple angles!"

"Unit Two, advance! Close-up of Gu Yang's eyes! Unit Three, don't shake! Grab Cheng Xiao's earlobe! Yes! Shoot her ear that's so red it could bleed!"

Director Chen Gang was so excited that he almost threw the storyboard onto the camera.

He was glued to the monitor, his eyes wide as saucers, as if he had discovered some incredible treasure.

"That was a fake support! That was a fake support!!!" He slapped his thigh and said angrily, "Gu Yang is such a fool!"

"They act like perfect gentlemen, not daring to touch a hair on their head!"

"Let the post-production team fix it!"

The assistant director timidly raised his hand: "Director, isn't this shot a bit too... ambiguous?"

"Ambiguous?!" Chen Gang suddenly turned his head, his face full of disappointment. "This is art! This is tension! This is the dream of millions of girls!"

He snatched the walkie-talkie and yelled, "Lights! Dim the rehearsal room by two degrees! We need that hazy, ambiguous feeling! Let the audience fill in the blanks themselves!"

The editor muttered to himself, "If this airs, people will probably imagine it as an eighty-episode TV series..."

"That's the effect we want!" Chen Gang rubbed his hands together, grinning like a shrewd businessman. "After this is over, have Cheng Xiao do a follow-up interview and ask her, 'How warm are Teacher Gu's palms?' Her stuttering reaction will definitely get her three more trending topics!"

The script supervisor timidly reminded him, "Director, this is a legitimate talent show..."

"Who says talent shows can't have romance storylines?!" Chen Gang declared righteously. "When I filmed 'Super Boy,' I could still create couples even though it was all guys!"

He stroked his non-existent beard smugly, "This time it's a top-tier celebrity plus a female idol!!!"

"I even brought the Civil Affairs Bureau to them!" Everyone gasped.

An eerie silence fell over the monitoring room, with only the sounds of the rehearsal room coming from the monitors.

“Teacher Gu, you need to move your hand down here…” Cheng Xiao’s voice trembled slightly.

"Like this?" Gu Yang's voice was so low it could drip water.

"Boom—" Fireworks exploded in Director Chen Gang's mind. He trembled as he pulled out his phone and quickly sent a voice message to the publicity team: "Make the posters now! Give me the title 'Rehearsal Scene of the Wedding of the Century'! Make sure the font has a gold border!"

The camera crew leader finally broke down: "Director, calm down! It looks like they're performing a ghost marriage!"

Chen Gang waved his hand dismissively: "Who cares about weddings or funerals! Making it to the trending topics is a good thing!"

……

That night, at 11 p.m.

An anonymous post suddenly appeared on the Tongliang Middle School forum in Chongqing, with the title in bold red: "Solid Evidence! School Beauty Tian Xiwei's Dark History in High School: Smoking, Drinking, School Bullying, and Abortion Record Fully Exposed!"

The poster claimed to be Tian Xiwei's high school classmate. The post listed four accusations, each accompanied by dubious "evidence".

"I was Tian Xiwei's classmate in high school. I can't stand her pretending to be innocent and deceiving her fans, so I'm speaking out to tell the truth."

1. She was not a good girl at all. She smoked and drank in high school, got into fights outside of school, and even received a demerit.

2. Bullied a female classmate, threw her backpack in the toilet, and forced her to kneel down and apologize (there are photos as evidence).

3. Dated a delinquent from outside the school and had an abortion (hospital records are available).

4. He falsified his college entrance examination scores; he didn't even pass the undergraduate admission line and got into the film academy through back channels.

Don't be fooled by her innocent face; the entertainment industry really can make any kind of trash a star.

Attached: A few blurry old photos...

A girl in a school uniform stands at the entrance of the toilet (her face is not recognizable).

A hospital registration slip (name and date are blurred).

A class disciplinary notice (the name is obscured by a watermark).

As a post-95 actress who quickly rose to fame with "Qingqing's Daily Life", her news has been kept in the attention of many people!

The incident quickly escalated.

At 3 a.m., the well-known gossip WeChat account "Entertainment Frontline" published an article titled "Pure Image Collapses? Rising star Tian Xiwei Exposed for High School Bullying."

The editor specifically placed that blurry picture of the school uniform from behind and Tian Xiwei's high school graduation photo side by side for comparison, marking the "similarities" with red arrows.

At 6 a.m., the hashtag #TianXiweiSchoolBullying# had already climbed to the bottom of the trending searches.

In the office of a marketing company, the manager looked at the ever-increasing data and instructed his subordinates: "Release the prepared online trolls and focus on posting 'Is the threshold for entering the entertainment industry really that low?' and 'It is recommended to ban artists with bad records.'"

At 9:00 AM, the situation escalated for the first time.

A new post appeared on Douban's Goose Group: "Let's talk about Tian Xiwei's junior high school days." The poster, "TLququmin," claimed to be her junior high school classmate: "She liked to flirt with boys in junior high school and often skipped classes to go to internet cafes. Even the homeroom teacher couldn't control her."

The accompanying photo is a blurry class photo, in which a girl with a ponytail is marked with a red circle.

At 10:00 AM, a popular influencer with a million followers retweeted the topic and tagged the official Weibo account of the State Administration of Radio and Television.

This Weibo post quickly garnered 5 reposts, with the most popular comment being: "We suggest a thorough investigation into professional ethics; we can't let this kind of person lead teenagers astray!"

Netizens discovered that Tian Xiwei's agency is called Tianyuan Meiyang Film and Television Studio, and her boss is Gu Yang!

At noon, Xinghe Media's official Weibo account was flooded with criticism.

The comment section of the latest promotional photos was flooded with messages about "banning celebrities with bad records," with the most upvoted comment being: "Does your company only accept these delinquent female celebrities?"

At 3 p.m., the situation took a dramatic turn.

A well-known entertainment reporter posted an article questioning: "The so-called 'solid evidence photos' don't even show her face clearly, and the date on the hospital certificate doesn't match Tian Xiwei's high school class schedule."

However, this rational analysis was quickly drowned out by more revelations.

At 6 p.m., the official Weibo account of the jasmine tea brand that Tian Xiwei had just endorsed quietly deleted all content related to her.

This action was spotted by sharp-eyed netizens and immediately became a trending topic again.

At 8 PM, an account claiming to be the victim's best friend posted: "I am a friend of the classmate who was bullied by Tian Xiwei back then. She still can't watch youth campus dramas."

The Weibo post, accompanied by a close-up photo of a wrist injury, received over 10 reposts.

At 9 p.m., when the public opinion storm reached its peak, Tian Xiwei's Weibo account was suddenly updated.

There was no carefully crafted statement from a public relations team, no lawyer's letter warning, only a text with a distinctly personal style:
"I am Tian Xiwei, a person who is almost 100% impulsive when I get emotional."

Regarding today's trending topics, I only have three points to make:
1. Smoking, drinking, and abortion? False!
2. Bullying? You insult me ​​and I insult you back. I've never done anything illegal or immoral, so why should I apologize?

3. Violence is not just physical conflict; verbal abuse and isolation are equally harmful. If you are bullied, you must fight back. Even if you can't win a fight, you must let them know you are not someone to be trifled with!
I don't regret the trouble caused by the violence of resistance, even though we didn't use a more "appropriate" way to solve the problem at the time!

This single stone stirred up a thousand ripples; the girl actually chose to confront it head-on!
Public opinion exploded!

And at this moment, in the eye of the storm.

Tian Xiwei was curled up on her dormitory bed, mechanically refreshing the ever-growing number of negative comments.

Her slender finger hovered above Gu Yang's contact information, but she hesitated to click it.
