Chapter 1159: Rumors Begin
Magic City.
Shen Yun stood in the subway, looking down at the opening time of "Titanic" on his phone.
He was an ordinary worker. His salary during the Chinese New Year would be several times higher than usual, plus there was a bonus, so he simply stayed in the company and did not go back to his hometown for the Chinese New Year. He would find a time to take leave and go home after the Chinese New Year.
Shen Yun whispered: "Ten-thirty! Ten-thirty!"
Ten-thirty is the opening time of "Titanic".
Since buying the ticket, he has no idea how many times he has confirmed it, but he still can't help wanting to confirm it again, for fear of reading the wrong time.
This "Titanic" movie ticket was something he had finally grabbed, so he would naturally cherish it.
Not long after the "Titanic" tickets went on sale, they were sold out in a very short time.
After Shen Yun looked through it again and again, he finally picked up the movie ticket that he had just bought.
It is common for people to refund tickets for something unexpected. He thinks that the couple who refunded the tickets should be a couple. On that day, he saw that there were empty tickets, which were two seats next to each other.
A few minutes later, the subway arrived at the station.
After Shen Yun exited the station, he walked for a few minutes to a large shopping mall.
Looking at a group of people standing at the elevator entrance, he chose to take the elevator directly to the sixth floor where the cinema was located.
Shen Yun took out his mobile phone and looked at the time. It was only half past nine, and there was still an hour before the movie started.
He did not go to the mall to hang out, but queued up to get the ticket.
There were a lot of people in the cinema. If he was delayed in entering because he did not get the ticket, he would regret it.
It was precisely because he knew that there were more people in the cinema today that Shen Yun came to the cinema early.
Shen Yun is a loyal fan of Tan Yue. As long as Tan Yue's new movie is released, he will come to watch it as soon as possible.
After getting the movie ticket as he wished, Shen Yun sat in the cinema and waited.
Time passed by minute by minute, and when there were still ten minutes before the movie started, he finally entered.
Shen Yun walked into the viewing hall with great expectations.
Like other fans, he began to pay attention to "Titanic" when the media reported the opening ceremony.
As the lights went out, the theater darkened, and the movie began.
More than three hours later.
Shen Yun walked out of the theater, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.
He knew that Tan Yue's movie would not disappoint the audience. After watching "Titanic", he once again verified this idea.
As an ordinary audience, the first feeling that Shen Yun had about this movie was that the special effects were very good.
Whether it was the panoramic view of the Titanic or the room layout in the small cabin, every shot was very shocking.
Especially the whole shot of seawater pouring into the cabin and the sinking of the Titanic.
The most exciting part of the whole movie is of course the love story of Jack and Rose.
Shen Yun thought that he should really find a girlfriend.
A feeling of hunger suddenly came, and his stomach started to growl.
It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and he needed to eat something to fill his stomach.
Shen Yun found a hamburger restaurant directly in the mall, ordered a meal, found a seat and sat down, playing with his mobile phone.
He liked to read forums and share some of his own things.
Shen Yun tapped on the screen of his mobile phone and edited a post praising "Titanic".
Such a wonderful movie, of course, must be shared with others.
A few minutes later, he edited a post of several hundred words, praising "Titanic", and then sent it out.
The pick-up number rang in the hamburger shop. Shen Yun glanced at the number on the order in his hand and got up to pick up the food.
Then he returned to his seat, eating while browsing the forum.
There are many more posts related to "Titanic" today. Shen Yun read a few of them, almost all of which praised the wonderful movie.
Suddenly, the title of a post attracted his attention: Tan Yue has moved to the United States! ! !
Shen Yun clicked on the post with a puzzled look on his face.
"Foreign media photographed Tan Yue appearing in the United States, first shopping in a mall, and then entering a house. Judging from the household items purchased, Tan Yue has now moved to the United States."
There are two pictures and a video at the end.
The picture is a report from foreign media.
Shen Yun clicked on the video and watched it several times. The video was a bit blurry and the face of the person could not be seen at all. From the back, it looked a bit like Tan Yue.
This post was very detailed and became popular in the forum.
And it also contained the word "Tan Yue", so it was hard not to be popular.
Shen Yun continued to look through the comments below with doubts.
"Earn money in China and spend it abroad? Earn so much and go abroad? I liked him before, but now I'm against him."
"This kind of person should be banned. How dare he release a movie in China? Let's boycott "Titanic" with me and take it off the shelves."
"You are too good at blackmailing. There is no face in the video. How do you know this is Teacher Tan Yue?"
"It's obvious that this post is deliberately blackmailing Teacher Tan Yue. Report it directly."
The act of emigrating abroad can easily arouse disgust in everyone's hearts. For passers-by, they will definitely curse.
But the video is blurry and it is impossible to determine whether it is Tan Yue. As a fan, you naturally have to protect your idol.
At this time, Shen Yun, who was sitting in front of the phone, certainly didn't believe that Tan Yue would immigrate to the United States.
Although Tan Yue was rarely active in front of the public, from his previous appearances, we can see what kind of person Tan Yue was.
However.
When Shen Yun was browsing short videos, he saw too many cases of immigration abroad, and he began to hesitate again, unsure of the truth of this matter.
Especially for big stars and directors like Tan Yue, there are too many cases of immigration abroad.
Shen Yun still held the burger in one hand, and his attention was all on this matter. He had forgotten to eat.
There were almost two voices in the comment area, one was scolding, and the other was defending Tan Yue.
Shen Yun wanted to find some real and reliable evidence from it. He refreshed the page and saw that more and more people were following this post.
Since he couldn't find what he wanted in Tieba, Shen Yun opened Weibo and started searching on it.
The search results were similar to the content on Tieba, still a few screenshots of foreign media reports and a relatively blurry video.
"Is it true or false?" Shen Yun, who didn't know the truth, searched on the Internet and became more confused.
The most confusing thing for him was the content of the video.
The person in the video was so similar to Tan Yue's figure, but he couldn't see his face clearly, and the outline of his face was almost invisible.
The person in the video was wearing a hat and a mask.
Shen Yun remembered that he was eating, and turned around to take a bite of the hamburger in his hand.
He really wanted to know whether Tan Yue had immigrated to the United States.
If the story was true, he was really disappointed. Others could immigrate abroad, but Tan Yue was his idol.
Engineer Wu leaned on the sofa, drank tea water, and looked down at his phone.
According to their local New Year customs, they need to go to the temple early this morning.
Since he got up early in the morning, he has not been idle and has been busy.
Now that he has just relaxed, he opened his phone and browsed the comments about "Titanic" on the Internet.
For several consecutive years, Tan Yue's movies have been released during the Spring Festival.
As the director of the public relations department, in order to ensure that he can deal with accidents in the first time, he has not returned home for the New Year for several years.
After these years of accumulation, the department has been quite experienced in this area, and has cultivated talents capable of dealing with bad situations.
This New Year, Engineer Wu went directly back to his hometown.
After returning home, his mobile phone is turned on 24 hours a day, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
The phone suddenly rang. Looking at the caller ID, Wu frowned slightly.
The person who called was the manager who stayed on duty at the company this time.
The movie has just been released for a short time, and it is not time to report the data.
And now the call came, something must have happened, and the other side cannot handle it.
Wu hurriedly answered the phone and asked, "What happened?"
"Mr. Wu, there is a little emergency now, which is related to Mr. Tan."
"Go ahead." Wu was even more confused.
"Now someone suddenly broke the news online that Mr. Tan moved to the United States. At first, it was broken in the forum, and now it is being reposted on major social platforms." The phone paused for a few seconds and continued, "A worse situation is that many people began to boycott "Titanic" below. I am afraid that if the matter gets bigger, it will affect the box office results."
"I know, I will call you back later." Wu hung up the phone and found the post on the forum.
After reading a few comments, Wu's face suddenly became ugly.
He is just an employee, and it is not his turn to ask where the boss moves.
But "Titanic" has just been released, because this incident is bound to affect the box office results.
If it is serious, it may affect Tan Yue and even the entire Brilliant Entertainment Company.
Mr. Wu hesitated again and again, and finally decided to call Tan Yue to ask.
After so many years of publicity, he also realized that this incident was too strange, and he guessed that it was very likely that someone was deliberately making trouble behind the scenes.
The purpose of this call was of course to ask whether the matter was true or not.
He had to take corresponding measures according to different situations.
"Beep-beep-" Mr. Wu could even hear his own heartbeat.
"Hello, Mr. Wu." Tan Yue's voice came from the phone.
"Mr. Tan, Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year! Happy New Year!"
"I have something to report to you." Wu Gong took a deep breath and said, "I just received a call from the company's duty supervisor. They found someone posted online saying that you have moved to the United States. Now this matter is slowly fermenting, and the heat is rising very quickly."
"What?" Tan Yue asked, "I moved to the United States? What's going on?"
"The cause of this matter is that someone posted a post in the forum, which contained several reports from foreign media and a video. Although the person in the video did not show his face, the outline of the whole person is very similar to yours. Many people in the forum think that this person is you. This matter has begun to spread on other platforms."
"No, how could I move to the United States? My family is in China, and I have no intention of settling abroad." Tan Yue said, "Someone should be behind this matter."
After returning home, Tan Yue has been chatting with his parents and has not paid attention to what is happening online.
I didn't expect that someone would make such a big fuss behind the scenes in just half a day.
"Okay, Mr. Tan, I understand."
Since there was no immigration issue, Mr. Wu understood what was going on.
Tan Yue said: "You handle this matter, check it out and see who it is. Tell me when you have the result."
He believed in Wu Gong's ability to handle such matters.
Of course, someone made such a big rumor, and he also wanted to know who this person was?
"Don't worry, I will tell you the results as soon as possible."
After hearing Tan Yue hang up the phone, Wu Gong continued to call the supervisor on duty.
"Mr. Wu."
It could be heard from the voice that the supervisor was very anxious.
This matter is fermenting at a lightning speed. Tan Yue's popularity is already extremely high on the Internet, and just as the new movie is being released, it has become a hot topic on many social platforms.
The popularity is still rising. If no countermeasures are found, the box office performance of "Titanic" will be greatly affected.
Now there are voices of resistance.
"I have called Mr. Tan. There is no issue of immigrating to the United States." Wu Gong said solemnly: "This matter is a rumor made by someone who wants to take the opportunity to affect the box office performance of "Titanic". In this way, you first use the company's official Bo issued a legal statement to calm the public opinion online.”
"Okay, Mr. Wu."
"After you finish writing it, send it to me for review." Wu Gong continued: "From Tieba to Weibo to various platforms, someone is deliberately smearing it. Investigate and find this person."
"clear."
Putting down the phone, Wu Gong continued to check some related discussions on the Internet.
The tree attracts the wind.
Whether at home or abroad, there are countless people watching Tan Yue's every move.
We really can't find any bad deeds about Tan Yue, so we can only use this method to deliberately discredit him.
Wu Gong didn't have too much worry about this. Rumors are just rumors, and they can be easily dealt with. The more difficult thing is to find the real person behind the scenes.
Half an hour after the incident, the company's official blog and accounts on various social platforms simultaneously released a statement.
The general content is that someone is deliberately spreading rumors to smear Tan Yue's immigration to the United States, and these people will definitely be held legally responsible.
Different from the last statement, this time we will definitely pursue the case.
The competitor's methods this time were very dirty. If the attack was not heavy-handed, the matter would never go away like this. In the future, it will have a huge negative impact on the movie, Tan Yue personally, and Bright Entertainment Company.
The public relations department of Bright Entertainment Company has also begun to take action to find the person behind the scenes.
soon.
Major social platforms such as Tieba and Weibo began to delete posts one after another.
Especially those accounts that seek to gain popularity and traffic will delete the relevant content as soon as they see the statement from Cuican Entertainment.
Of course, there are also some people who are fanning the flames behind the scenes.
