I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 179 The Venice Awards Ceremony Ends
Five minutes had passed by the time Li Naiwen finished her acceptance speech before she and David took their awards and left the stage.

"Brother Naiwen, congratulations."

Wang Zhi stood up and congratulated him happily.

"As long as you have good acting skills, you'll have opportunities in the future," Li Naiwen said with a smile.

"Congratulations."

Ning Hao said.

Li Naiwen gave Ning Hao a big hug and said, "Thank you, Director. Without you, I wouldn't have had the chance to win this award."

Ning Hao patted him on the shoulder and made him sit down.

"Brother Naiwen, can I see the trophy?"

Wang Zhi said enviously.

"Give."

Lee Nai-moon was also very generous; this time, the "Buried Alive" crew only consisted of the three of them when they came to Venice for the film festival.

"Thank you."

After receiving the trophy, Wang Zhi stroked it with fascination, as if it were a precious treasure.

If you didn't know her, you'd think she was a crazy woman!
Ning Hao also wanted to touch the trophy. Although he had won awards before, this was one of the three major European awards!
Unfortunately, I was not nominated for Best Director or Best Film.

It would be great if I could win both of these awards.

After the Best Actor award ceremony, it had nothing to do with the movie "Buried." Those who watched the live stream stopped paying attention and instead shared their thoughts in the comments section.

"Damn it! Cheng Sheng, look at what these people are saying!"

Inside Cheng Sheng's room, Cheng Sheng, Da Tiantian, and Li Heiniu were all very happy that Li Naiwen had won the award. However, when Da Tiantian saw the comments section where people were slandering Cheng Sheng, her expression immediately changed, and she said angrily.

"These people are just saying it, there's no need to get angry. If I really got angry, I'd become a punching bag every day!"

Cheng Sheng said indifferently.

Netizens are just bored and have nothing better to do than vent their emotions online.

If you believe what they say, then you've already lost.

Those who comment on others often use judgment to reinforce their sense of self-worth, seek control and attention, and behind it lies a desire for expression, a comparative mentality, or an emotional catharsis.

Some people enjoy commenting on others, perhaps because they have a deep-seated desire for social comparison. They reinforce their sense of superiority by comparing themselves to the shortcomings of others, and gain psychological balance through commenting.

In addition, commenting can also be an outlet for emotional release. When there is dissatisfaction, anxiety or stress, people release their emotions by commenting on others, transferring negative emotions to judging others, thereby relieving their own psychological pressure. Although this method may be somewhat immature, it is still a manifestation of emotional regulation.

“But they say you’re a guy! These people are clearly talking nonsense,” Da Tian Tian said, blushing.

Seeing that Da Tiantian's reaction was even stronger than his own, Cheng Sheng couldn't help but laugh and teased, "How do you know others are talking nonsense?"

"what!"

Da Tiantian was trying to figure out how to speak up for Cheng Sheng's justice when she was surprised by his reaction. She subconsciously shifted her position and stammered, "Cheng Sheng, you really don't like that kind of disgusting stuff..."

puff!

Li Heiniu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Princess Sweetie, didn't you realize that Director Cheng was teasing you?" Shh!
Da Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, patted her smooth breasts with her little hands, and muttered to herself, "It's good that it's not, it's good that it's not."

Cheng Sheng was speechless. Judging from Da Tian Tian's expression, she clearly really thought he was that kind of person.

"Cheng Sheng, do you want to issue a statement?" Da Tiantian looked at him with that innocent, naive expression.

Upon hearing this, both Cheng Sheng and Li Heiniu looked defeated.

Is this something that can be used to make a statement?
Cheng Sheng seriously doubted whether Da Tiantian was truly naive and innocent, or just plain naive and innocent!

Why are there so many scandals in the entertainment industry?
Why don't celebrities issue statements or explanations?
That's because of the nature of the public discourse. Entertainment gossip is essentially a phenomenon that satisfies the public's curiosity. Celebrities' private lives are shrouded in mystery, and when their privacy is exposed, the public develops a voyeuristic mentality.

This psychological need drives the gossip to continue to ferment, while celebrities' clarifications are often regarded as "public relations rhetoric" and are difficult to dispel public doubts.

Another factor is the manipulation by capital and media. Entertainment industry revelations often involve a power struggle between capital, media, and even the celebrities themselves.

Some rumors may be for the purpose of gaining attention or self-marketing, rather than being based on real events.

Once public opinion reaches a certain level of intensity, investors tend to guide the direction of the discussion rather than forcibly suppress it, resulting in limited effectiveness of explanations.

Secondly, there is a cognitive bias among the public, who tend to equate "reasonable suspicion" with "the truth".

Celebrity clarifications are often seen as "sophistry," and the lack of sufficient verification of the whistleblower's identity or the reliability of the evidence leads to a crisis of trust.

Finally, there is the complexity and timeliness of the events. Scandals often involve controversies from multiple angles and with multiple clues (such as school violence, romantic disputes, etc.), and explanations require responding to multiple points of doubt one by one.

If handled improperly (such as avoiding key issues or repeatedly making excuses), it will exacerbate public resentment.

Furthermore, once the public outcry subsides, subsequent explanations are easily overlooked.

For Da Tian Tian to issue a statement now is practically an attempt to kill herself.

The more he tries to prove his innocence, the more the public will find solid evidence against him.

Unless Cheng Sheng is out of his mind, how could he possibly listen to Da Tian Tian?

"Alright, alright, the live stream is over, you two should go back to sleep. You don't need to care about or mess with those messages online, especially you, Da Tian Tian, ​​don't post any random messages online."

Seeing that it was getting late, Cheng Sheng urged the two to leave his room, as he also needed to rest, since he had to work the next day.

However, before leaving, he gave Da Tian Tian some special instructions.

He was genuinely afraid that Da Tian Tian might do something outrageous, and if he woke up the next morning to find the internet flooded with news about him being gay, he would be too ashamed to face anyone.

After watching the two leave, Cheng Sheng closed the door, his brows furrowing slightly. Although those people online were talking nonsense, they had given him a wake-up call.

Someone with such a top position in the entertainment industry, if he never had a girlfriend, would definitely spark speculation.

This is just netizens talking nonsense. If the enemy uses this to attack and smear him, he might really be misunderstood.

"It seems I need to learn from the seniors in the industry. Even if I don't plan to have anything happen with female celebrities, I should at least maintain an ambiguous relationship so that no one will suspect that I have a problem with my orientation," Cheng Sheng muttered to himself.

Actually, it wasn't that Cheng Sheng didn't want to have a relationship with female celebrities, but rather that he was a little afraid.

Most female celebrities in the film and television industry are seasoned veterans, so having a relationship with them is a bit risky.
