Chapter 35
Xia Ting called Su Yan dozens of times a day, but never got through
When the phone could not be connected, he also sent a message to Su Yan.
The tone of the text went from excitement at the beginning, to anger - and finally, to helpless pleading.
"Su Yan, please, please reply to me, okay?"
"Su Yan... I'm really scared."
The interface of WeChat has been stuck on the words "I'm really scared".
Su Yan never responded.
Listening to the busy tone over and over again, it even turned into a shutdown tone in the end.
In the end, Xia Tingwan could only lean back against the bedpost and sit slumped on the wool carpet in the master bedroom.
He felt empty and helpless like never before, like being isolated in a small vacuum grid in vain, losing the medium of contact with the outside world.
Everything is distorted.
It's just that the night before, he was still intensely lingering with Su Yan on this bed.
He still remembered the sweetness when he hugged Su Yan—the skin was rubbing tightly against each other, and he could hear each other’s heartbeats.
He said "I love you" so many times seriously. At the time he thought they were inseparable.
It turned out to be a complete delusion.
Obviously, Su Yan understands his condition.
When he was on a business trip abroad, he knew that he carried emergency medicine with him, and then went back further. When Xia Tingwan injured his foot, Su Yan was out of breath when he carried him downstairs. Said that he had a cold and fever before, but when you think about it carefully, did you really have a fever when you got sick?
even……
Even Xia Tingwan almost felt that relying on her intuition, she was gradually touching the vague truth.
Perhaps even earlier, perhaps even before the official divorce, Su Yan had known about his condition.
His car accident may not be the only reason for destroying Su Yan's confidence in marriage.
Whenever he thought of this, Xia Tingwan felt a chill all over his body, and he didn't even dare to think about it.
...
Xia Ting didn't sleep all night, just lay in bed and smoked until dawn.
The ashes were piled deadly in the ashtray, looking extraordinarily quiet in the dim light of the dawn.
He looked at the phone to and fro, and sometimes his nerves were so tense that he even had the illusion that there was a message on WeChat, so that when Zhou Yang called, he didn't even think about getting through, and was disappointed to realize the caller. Not Su Yan.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Zhou Yang asked sharply when he heard his almost hoarse voice.
Xia Ting was silent for a while, and finally tiredly explained what happened from yesterday to now.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yang was extremely surprised when he heard that Su Yan had disappeared: "But the show team has blackmailed you, Su Yan's public relations team has clearly been off the field since last night? If the situation really has you It's so bad and urgent, can he still have time to deploy these?"
"What?" Xia Tingwan clenched her phone tightly.
"I sent you a few links, you can open it and take a look."
Xia Ting sat in front of the computer in the evening, kept talking with Zhou Yang and began to look.
"My team has just pulled the original clip of "Whale Talk", as well as the tidbits that slandered you for hyping up your divorce, and also wrote a detailed article about the camera, looking for a fan, and it hasn't been published yet. Going out, there were other forces who came to manipulate public opinion yesterday. Look at these articles, there are WeChat public accounts, popular Weibo spontaneously by movie fans, and answers from Zhihu big V. It can be said that the penetration is very comprehensive. ."
Xia Tingwan said "um" and opened a gossip news account that has always been praised in the industry for its unique perspective.
When Zhou Yang said this, he thought it was an article that would vigorously speak for him, but he didn't expect to read the title, it turned out to be "Rational and Multi-picture Discussion on Xia Tingwan's Beauty: Is it Really Disfigured After a Car Accident?" 》
Xia Tingwan was stunned for a moment, perhaps on the cusp of scolding him, the article from this angle was really too strange, and he couldn't help but continue to read it curiously.
At the beginning of the official account, there is absolutely no intention to whitewash him. Instead, he vehemently mocked the fact that his film career has become so obscure in recent years, and he did not forget to clearly criticize the absoluteness of drunk driving. black spot.
But then the conversation changed, and there were enough people who said that they were scolding. I didn't want to repeat it, I wanted to write something unusual, so I started to discuss the issue of appearance seriously.
This angle is great.
Because before Xia Tingwan, after drinking and driving, the media wrote about the disfigurement of the actor, which was actually quite shocking at that time.
After all, when he was born, the public opinion of major industry magazines and public accounts all praised his appearance. Coupled with the blessing of the award-winning "Whale Talk", for a long time, he was an unquestionable entertainment star. . Even if his career did not improve after that, no one questioned his appearance.
As a result, he was suddenly disfigured by a car accident. Such a dramatic ups and downs was actually an absolute hot spot, but as a result, when he came back, he was hacked by a series of programs, causing the public to follow the trend and spray him with more enthusiasm than others, so he forgot that he might have place to be noticed.
Xia Tingwan browsed down quickly. Of course, this article must first give a glimpse of what he looked like five years ago. The two or three pictures sent out are also carefully selected pictures, including magazine covers and "Whale Talk". screenshot.
Anyway, in fact, every star has a lot of classic photos that have been circulating for a long time. It is estimated that fans also have a series in their hands, but Xia Tingwan hasn't seen these old photos for a long time. At first glance, he felt quite amazing.
Going down, the official account began to carefully intercept the close-up screenshots of the "On the Road" program group's tidbits, and analyze the appearance after the car accident.
It was also from this stage that this public account began to reflect his sharpness and professionalism. When he featured the scar on his right face from the forehead to the corner of his eye, he even accurately praised Xia Tingwan's makeup artist.
"The makeup artist is too witty, isn't it? I admire it. I don't know how much Xia Tingwan's team invested in this. In fact, if it's a movie, it's not unfeasible to use a thick concealer to cover it, because when a movie is made, it's not impossible. Lighting, shooting angle can be adjusted through communication, and it can be covered so cleanly that it is difficult to notice. But reality shows are different. No MC knows how to play games or what angles can be used when going up the mountain and down to the sea. It was photographed, and most of the cases were in natural light. It is impossible to cover up such scars, so the makeup artist simply adopted another strategy, not trying to cover the scars, but just repairing the scars neatly and neatly, this strategy is very powerful Ah, she is much smarter than the average makeup artist. Let's take a closer look, do you still think that Xia Tingwan's face is very clean, and a simple scar comes down, which neither affects the skin appearance nor the facial features. In fact, it does not affect at all. So it affects the perception.”
In order to prove his point of view, the author of the official account also took a comprehensive close-up of his various expressions, some laughing, some crying while performing, and some confused. This includes not only his frontal and side views, but also various angles of overhead and vertical shots, and then found out the similar angles he used to make a careful comparison with these.
While discussing, while analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of his various facial features, there is seriousness in the humor.
However, he did not show an attitude of being overly partial to him. There were a few sentences in it, and he even felt that there was a very high gold content in the ridicule.
"Although I actually love Xia Tingwan's nose, but I have to say sadly, his mountain roots are really not upright compared to other niche students? Every time I watch fans embarrassingly blow the most beautiful nose, I want to dance. Come out, you don't understand at all. Look at the eyebrows and eyes of XX and XXX. Because of their deep contours and high noses, they have a strong impact, so people think wow, this is too handsome. Xia Tingwan is not like this at all. Gua, his beauty comes from the smoothness of the maxillofacial face and the clean skin, coupled with the beauty of the eyes, he can hold a lot of emotions. When you look at him, your first reaction will not be that he is handsome, yes I think... eh? There is something in it. What is this thing specifically, it is meant to be out of words, and it is very malleable, so it was so favored by the director Xu Zhe."
"The scar is actually still obvious. Did the appearance affect it? I think it did. The face that used to be flawless like a blank sheet of paper now has a six- or seven-centimeter scar, and it is impossible to ignore it. But I personally think that it is still too far from disfigurement. In fact, Xia Tingwan's appearance is still very good, but this is mainly due to two lucky reasons. First, the scar avoids the eyes and does not It affects the expressiveness of his eyes. Second, his temperament takes too much advantage. Imagine if a young male star with a particularly sunny and straightforward style, with a smile and neat white teeth, has such a scar, and the direct appearance is connected with the personality. It's all avalanches. But Xia Tingwan has never been that kind of temperament. When you think of him, you feel that he is very suitable for appearing in black and white movies, leaning there lazily and smoking a cigarette, you can see from a distance They all thought he had been injured, so a close-up of the camera went over, oh yo, with a scar on such a beautiful face, the audience was even more excited - as expected, there is a story."
Even Xia Tingwan never thought that the public account could analyze the appearance so well.
At the end of the article, there are several pictures of him in the tidbits. Those pictures are very carefully selected, and each one is the most beautiful angle.
For a while, he even felt that he was persuaded by the person who wrote the article.
Pulling it to the comment area, I saw that Gao Zan's two comments did not criticize him, but praised like a passerby, "After seeing so many pictures, I suddenly admire Director Xu's vision for casting roles." There is "Actually, I don't mention those messy things, I quietly sigh with emotion, Xia Tingwan's appearance is really good. Those who have been disfigured before can be said to be very boring."
"Did you see it?" Zhou Yang calmly analyzed: "This article is very cleverly written and has a special angle. In fact, the matter of your current appearance has always attracted a lot of attention before you were hacked, but it was a hot topic later. Overshadowed the previous ones, but at this point in time he posted, in fact, the most violent wave of blacking you has passed. In fact, everyone has reached the period of slack and tired of reading, and even after a few days, you can't scold your articles. What kind of tricks, and then scold you, there is not much traffic at all, so he suddenly picked up the previous hot spot analysis, which is very eye-catching. But the final conclusion he came to was actually bypassing your black spots, right You are extremely beneficial."
Xia Tingwan responded subconsciously. He did feel that the article was very well written. From the perspective of a spectator, he was unbiased and very interesting to read.
"Look at the others."
Before Zhou Yang could say it, Xia Tingwan had already opened the links one by one and looked at them.
In this series of remarks and articles from all over the world, there are actually various arguments. It seems that they are not supporting him, but they are all very cunning.
Some are sensational from a personal point of view, feeling that a generation of literary male gods suddenly hit the street, and then nostalgically sent a series of classic screenshots of "Whale Talk".
There are also special
black belly
The tone of the "On the Road" program team was very naive and stupid, thinking that what they posted was all good things, but in fact, they blackened their MC, and finally made a dog-headed funny rant, talking about conspiracy theories, don't they? The program team actually wanted to kill Xia Tingwan?
There are even insiders who don't know the truth or the fake news, saying that the internal struggle of the show team is serious, several MCs are forming gangs, and the show team has given a conspiracy theory to one side's platform, so that the public and fans can go wild. divergent.
The more Xia Tingwan looked, the more surprised he became. Although he was not that professional, he had been in the circle for so long.
Looking at it all the way, he indeed faintly felt that there was a very professional and powerful force operating behind it.
"Did you see it? The wind direction of these public opinions looks very messy. There is no fixed direction at all. It's messy, and everything is said, but this is brilliant."
Zhou Yang said with a bit of admiration: "If the direction is the same, people outside the circle can also feel that there are talents who control the field, but the current situation is more like an original ecology of wanton discussion. But the outside looks chaotic, but in fact, there are strict rules on the inside. They are in the preparation stage, and they are muddying the water. Now they have everything to say, and those who criticize can no longer unite the front. Then other remarks can be raised, and those who support you can open their mouths and say something that is not so clear-cut. , and will not be ridiculed by the group. The next stage is to have something concrete to realize the counterattack of public opinion.”
Zhou Yang said that he was obviously a little excited at the end. He took a deep breath and continued: "This solid thing, I think it can fall on our side of the comparison video."
"Do you think... these were made by Su Yan?"
Xia Tingwan's tongue was dry, and he asked in a daze.
"Absolutely." Zhou Yang said decisively: "Actually, I can do and prepare for many operations here, but the difficulty is to make extremely precise arrangements with this amazing efficiency. The people behind it are not only experienced experts in this field, but also must have huge capital to manage it. To be honest, this kind of strength and qualifications, I am afraid that only the team invited by Su Yan can do it. "
Xia Tingwan stood up a little irritably and walked around the room a few times.
He lit another cigarette, suddenly raised his head and said, "Zhou Yang, I feel that Su Yan should not be so weak that he lost consciousness or something, he just doesn't want to contact me."
He said while thinking back.
When Su Yan learned that he was hacked by the Internet, he immediately rushed back by plane. Maybe he could roughly prepare to find a team to deal with before he got on the plane, but after arriving in H City, he was with him all night, and he had no time to do anything at all.
Actions of this scope should definitely require Su Yan's approval in any case, and then distribute them layer by layer before releasing them on a large scale.
Zhou Yang said that the subsequent series of operations all happened last night.
It happened to be the night that Su Yan left Xiangshan.
After Su Yan left him, he might still have the energy to deal with his affairs, which made Xia Tingwan feel a little relieved.
But at the same time he was relieved, he felt a faintly suppressed anger in his chest.
He took a heavy puff of cigarette, forcibly suppressed the restlessness and boredom in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do next?"
"I plan to observe the situation of public opinion. When I see it, I will ask old fans to post the comparison article to question it. After that, I will do the normal operation and find an influential big V to forward it. According to the current progress and sensitivity of Su Yan. , will definitely cooperate with us, there will definitely be an explosive effect after the release. But I still want to make it more stable, Xia Tingwan, the staff you know from the show, or the MC is the best, can you do it? Trust me, and if necessary, I want someone with the inside story to make some noise."
"It's trustworthy..." Xia Tingwan said subconsciously, "Jizhan."
But then he added a little uncertainly: "Actually, it's not particularly iron."
"Oh," he hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed: "I, I will try, but this is not forced."
After the tidbits were played, Ji Zhan quickly called him twice to ask if he needed help.
But on the one hand, Ji Zhan is busy preparing for the concert, and his voice is a little hoarse. On the other hand, Xia Tingwan is also in a daze, and also feels that it is really difficult for Ji Zhan to blend in, so he can only briefly let Ji Zhan Don't worry, he will handle it himself.
Of course he didn't trust Ji Zhan, but in any case, he also understood that making demands on Ji Zhan was a bit excessive.
Making friends in the entertainment industry often requires the degree of doing things.
Everyone has their own interests, and the money and fame and fortune involved are no joke. Once you touch sensitive places, you shouldn't embarrass the other party.
Ji Zhan is the MC of "On the Road". Participating in the show also has its own promotional purpose. It is probably not good for Ji Zhan to get involved with the show.
"You can ask him, but you don't have to put too much psychological pressure on yourself."
Zhou Yang said calmly: "If the result is ideal, the program team will definitely apologize if they can't bear it, then if Ji Zhan stands with you before the situation becomes clear, it will not have any negative impact on him, and may even be beneficial. But in any case, this requires him to trust you and be willing to take the risk of speaking out for you, in this circle, this is really impossible to force."
"I know."
...
After the phone call with Zhou Yang, Xia Tingwan first called Ji Zhan. The other party guessed that something was wrong and sent a quick reply that was not convenient to answer, so he left a message to Ji Zhan on WeChat.
After sending that message, he sat in his seat like that for a long time.
He didn't know what was wrong with Su Yan, so he could only guess and piece it together with a little clue.
From Zhou Yang's words, he can vaguely infer that Su Yan still has the energy to pay attention to his career, and he should not have reached the worst stage yet.
He loosened the tight string a little.
But just a little bit of relief, felt the pain of the fine and subtle invading, and a brain was stuck in heart.
Su Yan was still sober, but he also soberly refused to communicate with him.
He has never been disappointed by Su Yan.
Even if it was about the divorce and about Wen Zichen, in fact, he was still more self-pity.
Although he also felt sad, he still had a clear understanding in his heart. He knew that he had done a lot of mistakes and that he had hurt Su Yan, so he could finally understand and understand everything.
This was the first time he was really disappointed with Su Yan.
Su Yan is doing something completely inappropriate.
Arbitrarily isolates him, does not let him take on anything, even if he knows his love, refuses to let him be by his side when he is most vulnerable.
This is not protection.
This is a cruel peeling off of him, and his love that could have had a thickness was peeled off to pieces.
Going around in circles, his husband still regarded him as a delicate rose, an innocent little boy who couldn't stand a little wind and rain.
This is the real contempt for him.
This kind of contempt hit him far more than the embarrassment of being hacked by the whole network before.
How could this not disappoint him.
But the feeling of disappointment made him feel so sad.
Su Yan was everything he imagined for a perfect man.
Acknowledging that Su Yan had done something wrong was like his entire world was collapsing.
Even for a moment, the whole body lost strength because of this. He thought disheartenedly, Su Yan can't be wrong, he should just follow what Su Yan said—
give up. Sitting here and waiting, waiting for Su Yan to come back.
Xia Tingwan covered her face helplessly, hid under her palm, and couldn't help sobbing in the empty room.
I don't know if it's because haven't slept all night, the pain has become very specific.
All the internal organs seemed to be mixed with pain, and then gradually, spread to the limbs, and finally, even the fingers holding the cigarette trembled violently involuntarily.
Just when he almost felt that he couldn't bear the pain, Su Yan appeared in front of him again, when he was blushing and almost breathless, he was trying to put him in a warm bed because he was afraid that he would freeze. looks like.
The weak Su Yan is still loving his Su Yan instinctively.
When he thought of this, tears suddenly flowed uncontrollably.
But at the same time, he staggered up from his chair.
His heart beat faster and faster, picked up the phone and hurriedly swiped the address book with his fingers from top to bottom, and finally found the name that he hadn't thought of for a long time: Wen Zichen.
Those who received salaries from Su Yan refused to speak.
He went to find someone else. If Wen Zichen couldn't do it, he went to Yin Ning. He would not miss any of those who might know Su Yan's physical condition.
When right and wrong are blurred, when reason can no longer make a decision, perhaps he should also rely on his own instinct.
His instinct told him—
Don't give up looking.
Su Yan needs him.
