Chapter 506: Heat Rising

It was about twenty minutes after Tang Rijie was dragged out of the restaurant by the photographer and post-production team that the strong feeling of regret in his heart disappeared.

What replaced it was an even stronger sense of regret!

Tang Rijie collapsed in the back seat of the Maybach. What had he just done? He revealed in public that he had been bribed to come to the Black Universe Infinite Canteen.

If word of this gets out, his career will be over!

Seeing that Tang Rijie's eyes were lifeless and his face was ashen, the photographer who had been holding him back comforted him.

"Teacher Tang, you don't need to be too sad. Things are not as bad as you thought. The restaurant is not big, and there were only sixty or seventy people in the store at that time, so there should not be many people who heard what you said before, and the impact is controllable. "

"But I saw someone took out his mobile phone and recorded it!" Tang Rijie said desperately, "If he posted the video online..."

"Videos can be explained in many ways. We can say that you were suffering from food poisoning and were talking nonsense. You can also say that the video was synthesized by AI. Nowadays, AI technology is so powerful that ordinary people can't tell the truth from falsehoods. , this matter will eventually become Rashomon, and everyone will forget about it as time goes by. "

Hearing what the photographer said, Tang Rijie felt a little more energetic again.

Later, Xiao Zhao thought of another thing at this moment and asked, "Teacher Tang, were you really not poisoned just now?"

"No." Tang Rijie said.

"Ah, then why did you suddenly..."

"I did awaken some memories of my past life at that time." Tang Rijie said thoughtfully.

The photographer and Xiao Zhao looked at each other in confusion. Tang Rijie seemed to have returned to normal now. Neither of them expected that the other party would still stick to his previous statement.

After a while, Xiao Zhao was the first to break the silence, "Is there really a dumpling in this world that can awaken people's memories of past lives?"

"Probably not, otherwise this would be too weird." The photographer subconsciously answered, but when he thought of Tang Rijie's performance in the store just now, his tone became less sure at the end.

As for Tang Rijie himself, the impact was even greater. He was a chef before becoming a self-media person, and he was also a very good chef.

I have been thinking about how to make delicious food for more than ten years, but I never expected that there is a higher realm beyond delicious food.

It was like a group of martial arts masters discussing swordsmanship on Huashan Mountain, still competing to see who had deep inner strength and whose moves were exquisite. At this time, an immortal flew over their heads with a flying sword.

Tang Rijie was shocked beyond words.

At this time, Xiao Zhao came over and asked, "Teacher Tang, do you still want to edit the film?"

"No more." Tang Rijie replied without thinking, "We won't do the shop exploration at the Universe Infinite Canteen. We will find another shop tomorrow to check out. In this case, time may be tight, and we will have to work hard then. Xiao Zhao you.”

"It's okay, Teacher Tang. If possible, I'll stay up all night." Xiao Zhao has a very good work attitude.

Tang Rijie was still lucky that the videos recorded by other diners in the store were not posted online.

However, when he woke up the next day, his cell phone was blasted, and photographer Lao Bai ran directly to his residence.

"Sorry, Teacher Tang, are you online?"

"Someone sent out yesterday's video?" Tang Rijie's heart sank when he saw Lao Bai's panic.

"Then let's make a statement quickly and say...that it was synthesized by AI." Tang Rijie remembered the method Lao Bai taught him yesterday.

However, when Lao Bai heard this, he shook his head and said, "No, this time it was a live broadcast, and it lasted for 40 minutes. The AI ​​cannot handle this."

"Ah? Live broadcast!" Tang Rijie's expression finally changed after hearing this, "Who started the live broadcast and recorded it for so long? Why didn't I pay attention when I was eating?"

"Because the live broadcast was run by the restaurant owner, and it seemed to be using the restaurant's surveillance system, but for some reason, his surveillance system was very clear and the radio was very good.

"Not only the part where you confessed after eating the dumplings, but also the other three dishes you reviewed before were also photographed!"

Tang Rijie was shocked, "What, that guy is so insidious, he secretly filmed us, can you sue him?"

"This... I also consulted a lawyer on the way here. It's quite troublesome."

Lao Bai said, "He used the surveillance camera in the store, and he was also in the camera, and the photo was taken in a public place. It is difficult to define it as a candid photo. At most, it is an infringement of portrait rights."

"But he didn't make a profit either. Rewards were turned off during the live broadcast. Even if he really infringed on your portrait rights, Mr. Tang, the court would have ordered him to delete it. But the problem is that he didn't post the video after the live broadcast ended. It is a slice made from the audience's screen recording in the live broadcast room.

“Those slices are all being circulated on the Internet now…”

Halfway through the photographer's words, Tang Rijie's vision went dark and he collapsed on the ground.

Lao Bai was startled and quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed 120.

Although Teacher Tang was so anxious that he was taken by an ambulance to get an intravenous drip, the popularity of yesterday's live broadcast on the Internet showed no sign of fading. Instead, it continued to rise at a geometric index.

By noon, not only people who paid attention to the store and food knew about it, but even outsiders had heard about it.

The reason why this incident spread so quickly was first of all, Tang Rijie’s tens of millions of fans were indispensable. In addition, around ten o’clock, An Qi liked a related slice with his finger, and on this basis, he dropped a nuclear bomb.

love&five is a top idol group, and after the "lip-syncing" incident, Anqi's popularity has soared. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has broken through the sky. Her every move is watched by countless eyes.

With her end, this news has completely exploded.

At first, most people's spearheads were only directed at Tang Rijie, but later more and more "bought" anchors were dug out. For example, those little grandmas saw that the situation was not good, and they could cancel their accounts and run away, or even turn against them halfway and eat a wave of black and red traffic.

But big grandmas like the magical sea lion, who are worth millions, are uncomfortable.

They can't run away, and they can't delete the previous videos, because the more they delete and post, the more people will post. In the end, they are forced to open the comment selection and watch the account continue to lose fans.

Of course, the mastermind behind all this, Meiping.com, can't escape, and it has become the focus of netizens' fire.

Even if the public relations department has responded quickly, it has also taken measures including but not limited to the first-time announcement clarification, lawyer's letter warning, deletion of posts and control of comments.

But Mr. Tang had a change of heart before, and he mentioned the name of Meiping.com when he confessed, which made Meiping.com very passive now.

Finally, even the CEO and the board of directors were alarmed. Meiping.com has been developing rapidly in the past two years, and it has beaten many old rating softwares to a pulp, relying on this fair and strict rating system.

And Tang Rijie's incident has shaken the foundation of Meiping.com.
