The straight man in the entertainment circle

Everyone chatted for a while, and everyone was getting ready to have dinner. Suddenly Liu Chun called with his cell phone.

"Hey, everyone, look at the number one hot search on Weibo!"

Someone immediately gathered around him.

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

"Isn't it because our movie is a hot search?"

"That's a good thing."

"Today's premiere is available at several stores. You can't get it on the hot search without spending money."

…………

Everyone took out their mobile phones and started reading.

I saw the number one trending search on Weibo, and it was:

"Internet celebrity" Ye Zhiyong committed suicide.

Zhang Chaolun said: "Huh? Who is this Ye Zhiyong?"

Ren Shixiu: "I don't know him."

Yin Shiguang said: "I seem to know that when we started filming, there seemed to be a video that was very popular on the Internet. It was a video of a boy doing morning exercises. His movements were a bit girly..."

Another person from the crew said: "Ah, I remember when you said that. I did read it on Douyin. Boys sound pretty, but they are a bit girly when they act and talk..."

Ji Yi: "A high school student, a very young boy, why did he commit suicide..."

Ge Erdan: "Hey, this man committed suicide more than two months ago. Why did he suddenly become a hot search topic?"

Qin Zhensheng: "His mother has been appealing to him, saying that he was bullied by his classmates..."

Wu Ruobing exclaimed: "Ah! This... so to speak, this matter is somewhat similar to our movie..."

Jiang Dadao: "It's a pity to have a child, but..."

Jiang Da wanted to say that this matter was a good thing for Lin Li Film, but when the words came to his lips, he held back. These words were inappropriate. After all, it was a life.

Lin Li listened and roughly understood what was going on.

Lin Li also had to admit that the topic of this hot search was consistent with the theme of his movie. Promoting an internet celebrity who committed suicide after being bullied at school would indeed draw more people's attention to his upcoming movie.

Lin Li immediately looked at Chen Qingqing, who was silent at the side. This hot search was the same as the previous hot search for the mountaineering team's death. It appeared so timely, and it looked very much like Chen Qingqing's handwriting.

Chen Qingqing also met Lin Li's gaze at this time and looked towards Lin Li. When she saw Lin Li looking at her, she gave Lin Li a very simple and beautiful smile.

While everyone was paying attention to this hot search, Lin Li winked at Chen Qingqing and walked with her to a corner where no one was paying attention.

"This hot search...is your masterpiece again, right?" Lin Li said straight to the point.

Chen Qingqing knew that he couldn't hide it from Lin Li, so he smiled and said: "Yes, I know you disdain for hype. Originally, I didn't want to get involved, but you have also seen that in the recent movie schedule, some villains have started to have their thoughts, so I But I didn’t agree, since you don’t want to do it, then I’ll do it for you, hehe, no need to thank me.”

Lin Li had mixed feelings and was a little grateful, but Chen Qingqing's use of dead people to hype up made Lin Li very uncomfortable.

"You are using dead people to hype!" Lin Li's tone was reproachful.

Chen Qingqing seemed to have expected that Lin Li would say this. She looked at Lin Li and suddenly became very aggrieved and said seriously: "You are wrong, I am seeking justice!"

"You haven't read the reports about this incident. Ye Zhiyong has been ridiculed as a sissy in school for a long time. His classmates think he is abnormal. Many people will even take off his pants when he goes to the toilet, and then let everyone People were watching to see if he was a boy or a girl, so much so that he never dared to go to the toilet after class.”

"A while ago, a video of him doing exercises went viral on the Internet. It didn't bring him any fame. Instead, more people laughed at him for being a sissy. Some teachers even warned him not to do those delicate things. Action, the neighbors also persuaded Ye Zhiyong’s father to take him to the hospital for a check-up.”

"In this atmosphere, it's not unusual for him to commit suicide, right? But aren't others responsible for his suicide?"

"Ye Zhiyong died in the dormitory. After his death, the school cleaned the blood stains without permission from the police. Her mother has been litigating since Ye Zhiyong's death. She just wanted to restore Ye Zhiyong's innocence. He did not commit suicide. He was the one who was ridiculed by all those who laughed at him. His motherfuckers will kill him!”

"But... you also know, how could she, an ordinary person, do this kind of thing? I bought a trending search for her to expose this matter, attract the attention of all parties, and perhaps restore Ye Zhiyong's innocence. "

After Chen Qingqing said this long paragraph, she felt a little excited and seemed to be complaining for Ye Zhiyong.

After a while, Chen Qingqing asked softly: "Senior Brother Lin, do you still think... I am using the deceased to create hype?"

Lin Li was silent. Ye Zhiyong's experience made him feel distressed. Ye Zhiyong's mother's persistence and helplessness also moved Lin Li.

Not to mention that Chen Qingqing had already done it. If Lin Li had known about it in advance, he would have stood aside and watched.

Buy hot searches and let this matter expand its influence, so that people will pay attention to it.

"How...how do you know such details?" Lin Li was a little confused. Chen Qingqing was too detailed.

Chen Qingqing said: "They have local reports, but since there is no evidence, there is no follow-up to the report. It seems that the local government does not want to make the matter a big deal. There are also some details that I called Ye Zhiyong's mother. She said it and they are on the hot search. I also consulted her about the matter, and she even thanked me."

Lin Li now fully believed in the authenticity of this matter, and was deeply moved that Chen Qingqing spent money to buy trending searches for this matter.

No matter what, this matter has become a hot search, especially today when his movie is about to be released, it has reached the top of the hot search. This experience of Ye Zhiyong is almost perfectly consistent with the theme of his movie, and will invisibly attract more people. Paying attention to school bullying is more effective than dryly promoting the movie.

Chen Qingqing said that she bought the hot search to seek justice, but Lin Li didn't understand that Chen Qingqing did it solely to promote the movie "Young You".

"How much did you spend on Hot Search? I'll pass it on to you."

Lin Li is the beneficiary of this hot search, and Lin Li naturally cannot accept it calmly. Moreover, Lin Li knows that buying the first hot search is expensive.

Chen Qingqing smiled and said: "I bought this for Ye Zhiyong's mother and son. What money did you give me?"

"You think I'm stupid, tell me how much it costs!"

Chen Qingqing pretended to be stupid, but Lin Li had no choice but to use a commanding tone.

Chen Qing looked at Lin Li with her green eyes, and asked with a smile: "Brother Lin, in what capacity are you ordering me now? I have finished filming, and speaking as a director is not very useful. How about you change to another identity?" "

Lin Li was stunned. He didn't know why, but his invincible mouth always failed in front of Chen Qingqing.

Seeing that Lin Li was silent, Chen Qingqing walked back with a smile, pretended to be equally curious, and started discussing with others.

Although everyone restrained themselves, it could be seen that they were still very happy that this news had become a hot search topic.

The publicity effect this hot search brought to the movie immediately suppressed the publicity momentum of several other movies.

Lin Li opened Weibo and took a look at the most searched news.

"On April 10, Ye Zhiyong, who studied in Grade 6 of Changshu Junior High School, became famous on the Internet for a video. However, the popularity of the video made him suffer more criticism. Countless people criticized him for being a sissy, pervert, Eunuch, on April 25, Ye Zhiyong left the classroom during class and never came back. Later, he was found lying in a pool of blood in the dormitory and left this world forever."

"Ye Zhiyong's mother said that Ye Zhiyong has suffered from campus violence for a long time in school. However, a month has passed and Ye Zhiyong and his family have not received an apology from any party. Ye Zhiyong's mother said that he will continue to appeal. "

This Weibo was posted on May 28. Judging from the name on the Weibo, it should be a reporter from a newspaper where Ye Zhiyong is located.

In the days after this Weibo was posted, many people were still mocking Ye Zhiyong, saying that he was a sissy, and that his suicide was due to his own poor mental quality and had nothing to do with others.

It was even revealed that after Ye Zhiyong died, many of his classmates were mocking the sissy for finally dying!

This hot search started to be retweeted by many big Vs on Weibo this morning, and the discussion immediately went up.

These big Vs naturally collect money to do things in the beginning, but as the popularity rises later, more big Vs will consciously participate. After all, even big Vs have to keep up with hot topics and attract everyone's attention, as well as many media. After paying attention, the snowball grew bigger and bigger, and the topic naturally became a hot search.

There are still many netizens who have some impressions of Ye Zhiyong. After seeing this hot search, they were shocked and even more angry.

"I was very angry at first and sympathized with Ye Zhiyong's experience, but later I saw that my mother was so brave. Ye Zhiyong, you are not wrong. What is wrong is the eyes of others in the world."

"I cried. I was laughed at by my classmates back then. I really wanted to kill someone!"

"Ye Zhiyong is not wrong or different. He is who he is. Why do some people always like to force people who are different from themselves to be like themselves to be happy?"

"Those classmates are really scum!"

"When I see students like this in real life, I will definitely make them regret being born!"

"I also watched his video and laughed at him. I am a sinner. I'm sorry."

"If you think Ye Zhiyong is abnormal, then I think you are the one who is abnormal!"

"I'm so sad. I forwarded that video. I'm sorry..."

"Suddenly it occurred to me that Ye Zhiyong's story seems very similar to "Young You" filmed by Lin Li."

"After watching the trailer of "Young You", it seems that there is such a person."

"It seems to be the person played by Wu Ruobing. I don't know the details. You will have to watch the movie to find out."

"It's so sad, but I still have to support the movie and let everyone pay attention to school bullying!"

"Ye Zhiyong go to heaven and be brave enough to be yourself!"

…………

On Weibo, Lin Li also saw the video of Ye Zhiyong that became popular for a while.

The video was shot secretly. Ye Zhiyong looks like a very delicate and weak boy, a little shy, and his words and deeds are indeed a bit feminine, but it is completely obvious that he did not do it on purpose. If you don't look at it with colored glasses, he The movements of doing exercises are also quite normal, no different from ordinary people.

Lin Li was not in a good mood after reading some netizens' comments.

Lin Li made the movie "Young You", firstly because of Guo Xiaoshan's fate question when he and Guo Xiaoshan were arguing, and secondly because Lin Li happened to have such an excellent movie in his system.

All along, Lin Li just hoped that his movie would be better and make everyone pay attention to school bullying, but other than that, Lin Li had not done anything practical to help those who were bullied.

But after seeing Ye Zhiyong's story today, Lin Li felt panicked.

"What are you thinking about? It's almost time. Let's have breakfast and dinner and then go to the theater later."

Wu Ruobing saw Lin Li sitting aside and walked over and patted him.

"You guys eat first, I can't eat now." Lin Li said.

Wu Ruobing sat down next to Lin Li and said, "That's just right. I can't eat either, so I'll sit with you for a while."

Lin Li glanced at Wu Ruobing and asked, "Why can't you eat anymore? Didn't you eat at noon?"

Wu Ruobing was silent for a while, looked out the French window and said, "It's because of that boy named Ye Zhiyong."

Lin Li was stunned and wanted to say something, but he didn't.

Wu Ruobing turned to look at the people in the distance, squeezed out a smile and said: "Everyone has a sense of propriety and didn't say anything, but I can see that everyone is still very happy about today's hot search. Logically speaking... this hot search is good for publicity. The movie is helpful, and I should be happy for you, but...I have played Hu Xiaodie, and I seem to...can understand Ye Zhiyong..."

Wu Ruobing's voice became a little sentimental. Although Hu Xiaodie's scenes were not many, Wu Ruobing had experienced school bullying firsthand. Because of her role as Hu Xiaodie, Wu Ruobing almost didn't get out of it that time, which caused Lin Li Worried for a long time.

Although Lin Li had never seen Wu Ruobing cry, this was the first time he had seen Wu Ruobing so sentimental.

"You have grown up." Lin Li said from the side.

Wu Ruobing laughed and said, "It's more than a month until my 18th birthday. I haven't grown up yet."

Wu Ruobing was one year younger than Lin Li and was only 18 years old this year. After hearing Wu Ruobing's words, Lin Li realized that Wu Ruobing was about to turn 18 and it was time for him to think about preparing some coming-of-age ceremony for her.

"When you can understand the pain of others, you grow up." Lin Li said.

Wu Ruobing pursed her lips and said, "Then I would rather not grow up for the rest of my life."

Wu Ruobing sighed, thought for a while and then said: "But after thinking about it, it is a good thing for Ye Zhiyong's mother that this matter has been hotly searched. At least some people are paying attention and her appeal has been listened to... ...So...in general, this is still a good thing..."

Lin Li sighed and said, "This kind of thing is just a matter of making amends, but her sheep are all gone."

Wu Ruobing's eyes turned red and she said, "I really want to cry when you say this..."

Lin Li glanced at his phone and said, "The world owes him an apology. That's all we can do."

Wu Ruobing heard what Lin Li said and knew what Lin Li wanted to do. She whispered: "You... what do you want to do?"

Lin Li didn't answer, he started to think.

What can I do?
