Chapter 108: Counterattack
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the reporters returned to the newspaper office, they posted the day’s material on the Internet.
However, this time, there were no sensational headlines or fabricated stories. The exceptionally conservative content made the readers on the internet lose interest.
The reporters were not stupid. How could a phone call actually work? It was probably useful for the young master of the Capital who stood behind Jiang Zhi.
In their hearts, they had already tied Cheng Yi and Jiang Zhi to the same boat.
There was nothing shameful about that company. They did not want to be Cheng Yi’s punching bag.
Jiang Lu had been paying attention to the development of the matter. When she saw that these reporters actually made a lot of noise but did not stir up any waves, she was so angry that she almost exploded. Her phone screen was almost shattered to pieces!
However, she also knew that there were still people on the internet who were questioning the relationship between Jiang Zhi and Director Zheng. She also knew that the cast and crew of “The Afterlife” would definitely not dare to spoil the script. In that case, she would stir up this pool of water and no one would be able to turn the tables!
[So my sister and Director Zheng went to the coffee shop, but there is no evidence to prove that you were discussing the script!]
[Sister, you should try to avoid being alone with Director Zheng to avoid misunderstandings.]
Jiang Lu looked at the comments that instantly soared, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a malicious smile.
After Director Zheng saw Jiang Lu’s Weibo and the malicious comments below, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He ignored Jiang Zhi’s previous dissuasion and directly posted the parts of the script that had been modified by Jiang Zhi.
[The producer is not only beautiful and kind, but also very talented. Talking with her has opened up my train of thought a lot. I believe that ‘The Afterlife’ will definitely become a work that transcends eras! ]
Director Zheng’s direct demonstration caused the direction of the Internet to change once again.
This time, the attention of the netizens shifted from the scandal between the two to the script. There were even professional netizens who wrote a long article of 3,000 words to analyze the differences before and after the revision of the screenplay in detail. Many people who read it felt that Jiang Zhi’s revised script, be it in terms of the idea or the structure, was indeed much more refined than before.
The scriptwriter of “Beacon” also stood up for Jiang Zhi and Director Zheng. She directly took out a photo of a few people discussing the script and having dinner together.
[Jiang Zhi’s professionalism in revising the script is commendable. Her ideas always make my eyes light up. Many of the details and clever ideas in “Beacon” are her opinions. Jiang Zhi is a very talented and very pure person.]
[To be honest, after ‘Beacon’ was completed, I was very distressed because I gained a total of 20 pounds. I had consulted Director Zheng and Jiang Zhi at length. They both discussed the script until late at night and ate late-night takeout together. Why was I the only one who gained weight?!]
A photo and a few sentences made all the public comments disappear into thin air.
Some netizens went to the screenwriter’s comments to tease her about her figure, and some asked her to look for Director Zheng and Jiang Zhi to settle the score. Most of the netizens were praising Jiang Zhi’s literary talent. After reading the script, the netizens who had strongly boycotted “The Afterlife” also expressed their expectations.
“The Afterlife” seemed to have become the hottest topic of discussion overnight.
This was the first movie that had taken up all the headlines even before filming started, making people in the industry particularly envious.
Although Jiang Zhi had successfully gotten rid of the rumors on the Internet, she had never been someone who only took hits and did not fight back.
She took a screenshot of two Weibo posts that Jiang Lu had sent out in a row and directly tagged this good sister of hers.
[Everyone in the production team knows about me and Director Zheng discussing the script, but why are you the only one who thinks something more is happening?]
[Could it be that you’ve experienced such things before so that’s why your thoughts go there first?]
[I know that the pressure in the entertainment industry is very high and can easily cause serious psychological problems. I suggest that you go and see a psychiatrist to detect anything early and get fast treatment. I hope that you can understand your dear sister’s painstaking efforts.]
Jiang Zhi directly blew the east wind towards Jiang Lu. The netizens were like a raging fire, instantly causing Jiang Lu’s Weibo to get drowned out.
[Looking at these two Weibo posts of Jiang Lu now, isn’t it obvious that she was only trying to stir up trouble?]
[You’ve done bad things yourself, but you always think that others have done it too. This is a kind of illness!]
[Jiang Zhi is trying to protect Jiang Lu’s reputation, so she didn’t release any evidence before, right?]
[Jiang Lu, there’s something wrong with her that needs to be treated!]
Jiang Lu watched as the netizens tore apart all the ugliness in her heart and exposed it to the sun. As she watched the discussions getting closer and closer to the truth, she could only swallow her anger and quickly posted a very pitiful selfie with a pale face, with an apology attached.
After the fans saw it, some of them started to feel sorry for her again. Even the passers-by could not bear it.
Jiang Lu looked at the Internet that was slowly calming down. Her hands were tightly clasped together, and a large number of wrinkles appeared on her dress, making it look cheap and second-rate.
Jiang Zhi, you won’t be so lucky forever!
