"Director Hong, do you still want to call us to terminate the contract?"
Mango TV.
Hongchou glanced at the speaker and said, "What do you think?"
"Hehe." The staff member smiled and said, "I'm afraid no one thought that things could turn around so quickly. But Director Hong, why do I feel that Zhou Ziwu's matter is not innocent?"
Don't blame him for being suspicious. In fact, whether it was the initial revelation or the final refutation of the rumor, this incident was too sudden, and the evidence was too sufficient.
What's even more coincidental is that when the news broke, "The Strongest Voice" had just announced the official cast, and Zhou Ziwu happened to appear in people's sight.
When he refuted the rumor, the spread of the rumor had already approached a certain line. After passing this line, he would be completely stinky. It was at this time that the rumor reversed.
The timing was so good that only a ghost would believe it if there was no one behind it.
Hong Cho shook his head and said: "I don't care if he is innocent or not. The show will start recording soon. Wouldn't it be better if someone can help us divert the attention?"
…
Not only the "The Strongest Voice" program team, but also many people in the industry felt that this matter was all hype from beginning to end.
It's just that no one will take it up and say it.
On the contrary, some people have begun to review the game to see if they can learn some advanced experience from it.
And the most puzzling thing is Zhou Ziwu himself.
Before this, he had no contact at all with this paparazzi called [Truth Observation Room], and the other party never contacted him. Why did the other party take the initiative to stand up and refute the rumors for him?
More importantly, judging from the evidence released by the other party, he has been following him for quite some time.
And not only in the Magic City, but even when he returned to his hometown, people followed him secretly, without him noticing at all.
This was the first time that he truly experienced the feeling of being a "star".
This feeling of having eyes staring at you wherever you go is really hard to describe.
Two o'clock in the morning.
On the way home, Zhou Ziwu told Chu Dahu, the co-pilot, what he thought.
"You mean, you suspect that the paparazzi who refuted the rumors for you is the one who broke the news about you before?" Chu Qingqiu looked at him in surprise.
Zhou Ziwu said humbly, "Otherwise, all this would be too coincidental. With my reputation, I shouldn't be able to attract a large number of paparazzi to follow me from the Magic City to Weijiang."
"Whether it's that my family is a gangster or the evidence, you have to go to Weijiang in person to know it. So I think the probability that these two waves are the same person is very high. What do you think?"
When he said that he was not famous enough, it was not because he was belittling himself, but because it was a fact.
Although he has made headlines several times, it is basically because of his status as Chu Qingqiu's husband.
When "Courage" became popular, he, as a songwriter, just took a sip of the soup, and it affected more people in the industry.
The public's attention was mainly focused on Chu Dahu.
Hearing him ask what he thought, Chu Qingqiu said: "I felt there was something wrong here before, but because it was just a guess, I didn't tell you. I kept thinking about it during the filming today."
In fact, just now, she was thanking the Truth Observation Room in her heart for speaking up.
But after his analysis, she discovered that this seemed to be the case.
However, she didn't want to admit that she was a veteran, and she tried to win over him before he, a newbie, thought too much.
"I'm sorry that you delayed the shooting because of my affairs." Zhou Ziwu said.
Normally, the director would finish work before midnight, but this time it was delayed until so late.
Chu Qingqiu's explanation was that it was her own fault that delayed it until so late. Coupled with what she had just said, he naturally thought that this incident was his fault.
"No, it's not your fault."
Chu Qingqiu deeply understood that a lie requires countless lies to cover it up.
It is true that the filming was delayed so late because of her, but it was mainly because when she was on the set, she would always think of someone unconsciously, and then she would start to giggle inexplicably, resulting in being clicked too many times...
Eh?
It seemed like he was right to apologize.
"Ahem." She changed the subject: "Now that you think they are the same group of people, how are you going to deal with this matter?"
Zhou Ziwu said: "Report the crime, sue them."
He didn't think that this matter would just pass.
"But if they are the same group of people, then their rumor-refuting Weibo has helped you eliminate the influence and restore your reputation." Chu Qingqiu said: "You have no reason to sue them again."
Zhou Ziwu said: "If they are the same group of people, wouldn't that prove that they are deliberately spreading rumors?"
Chu Qingqiu blinked, "Yes."
…
The next day, with the help of Chu Qingqiu, Zhou Ziwu found Wang Xingsheng, the lawyer who had notarized his pre-marital property, and with his help, he went to the police station to report the case.
After finishing this matter in one day, Zhou Ziwu put his energy back into preparations for "The Strongest Voice".
Ten days later, Friday.
On the last day of September, Zhou Ziwu took a plane and landed in Star City.
Also traveling with him were Chu Qingqiu and her foodie assistant Li Qi.
This is Zhou Ziwu's first visit to Star City. Of course he is not here for tourism, but to participate in a program.
Tomorrow, "The Strongest Sound" will start recording, and the nine singers who will participate in the first recording will also come from all over the country today and tomorrow.
At 12:15 noon, the flight arrived in Star City.
After coming out of the airport, Zhou Ziwu took the car that picked up Chu Dahu and headed to the hotel together.
"What are you looking at?"
In the back row, Chu Qingqiu asked curiously when he saw that he kept looking back.
Zhou Ziwu looked away, turned around and said, "I just find it strange. When celebrities land at the airport, there are usually many fans to pick them up. Why didn't I see any of them this time?"
Chu Qingqiu smiled and said: "Of course I won't see it, because the company didn't spend any money this time."
"You said those are all hired with money?" Zhou Ziwu knew for the first time.
He had always been rejected because he was not famous enough.
Seeing that he also had such a "stupid and cute" side, Chu Qingqiu finally regained a little bit of the feeling of being a senior.
She explained patiently: "If it weren't for the instructions of the company behind it, how could so many people know the exact landing time of the celebrity's flight, and even prepare support items in advance. Everyone is doing this, basically to market their own artists."
Zhou Ziwu gained knowledge.
One p.m.
The car arrives at the hotel.
Standing in the hotel lobby, a question was posed in front of Zhou Ziwu.
Should I get another room, or live in one directly with Chu Dahu?
After thinking deeply for a second, he looked at Chu Qingqiu and said, "I'll help you carry your luggage up."
