A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 451: Illegitimate Child? Don’t Be Anxious

"What does the trending search have to do with me? Shouldn't it be Huayi and Mahua?"

Chen Jinnian thought it was about the movie. After all, whether it was the box office of the "Ghost Field" or the breaking of the daily box office record during the National Day holiday, they were all very popular topics.

"It's you. The news that you have an illegitimate child is now the number one trending search."

"Illegitimate child?" Chen Jinnian looked at Chen Xuanyue, who was sitting on him and still being dishonest, in confusion.

Chen Xuanyue held her head high, bit her pink lips, and tried hard to reach her brother's cell phone.

"Don't make trouble, Xuanyue, brother is busy now." After comforting his sister, he immediately asked about the details.

Liu Tingting had just seen the news and after a brief understanding, she quickly called to inform them.

The cause was very simple. Someone took a video of Chen Jinnian holding Chen Xuanyue and uploaded it to the Internet.

There was nothing special about the video originally, but for some reason, not only was Chen Jinnian recognized, but someone also wrote a short essay based on the video and posted it in many discussion groups for dissemination.

In just two hours, the topic of Chen Jinnian's illegitimate child was pushed to the top of the discussion, at an incredible speed.

"Sister, ask your friends in the industry, ask the people at Huayi if they're still working overtime."

"No need to ask, I'm indeed working overtime. I've been cursing in my circle of friends all morning." Liu Tingting said.

Don’t be fooled by the clear divisions among the upper echelons of the film industry. They tend to stick together for warmth and are particularly fond of being xenophobic.

But for ordinary workers who maintain the normal operation of the company, who are just salaried employees who work for money, they will naturally tend to work for the company that pays more and provides better treatment, and they don’t care what circle the boss is in.

Liu Tingting also worked in human resources for a period of time and interviewed many people, some of whom were in Chen Jinnian's company and some went to other companies. Usually, everyone maintained a good relationship, especially at the end of the year when everyone knew the salaries of each company.

It is an open secret which boss has a good temper and which boss is a beast. They are all waiting to jump ship when a good company is recruiting.

Huayi has been on a downward trend in the past two years, so the employees are more distracted.

The king always thought his plan was flawless, but in fact, by looking through the content posted by his employees on WeChat Moments, he could basically guess what was going on.

"That's them." Chen Jinnian smiled. "It seems we caused them quite a bit of trouble last night, so much so that the PR department is desperately trying to find new topics to cover up the heat."

"You can still laugh. What should we do now? Do we need to hold an online meeting of the public relations department?" Liu Tingting asked anxiously.

"That's unnecessary. I can't explain the other things clearly, but my sister is my sister, isn't that clear? I used my personal account to post a rumor-busting post, and you had their company's official account post a police report. Finally, I'm having my law firm send a letter to Weibo, accusing the platform of failing to fulfill its obligation to conduct prior review and being responsible for passive censorship."

Chen Jinnian simply arranged a solution.

There are only a few people in the company's public relations team, and they are usually assigned to the publicity team. Now holding a separate meeting with them is useless except for wasting time.

Because the overall level of the domestic crisis public relations industry is extremely poor, more than 90% of the public relations teams of companies just play dead when facing public opinion.

Instead of letting the public relations team handle it, it would be better for Chen Jinnian to arrange it himself. At least he has enough power and the orders he issues can be executed immediately.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

Hearing Chen Jinnian so calm, Liu Tingting felt a little relieved.

"But the company is closed for the holiday, so it won't be that fast for us to file a police report."

"Oh, who told you to actually report it? Just express the company's serious attitude towards handling the case. If you really report it, you will only cause trouble for the police."

Chen Jinnian spoke up and made clear the proper limits.

"In the world of public opinion, speculation is fact. As long as netizens believe us and report it to the police, that's enough. As for whether the police were finally reported, we can only say that it was reported."

"..."

Liu Tingting, who was on the other end of the phone, fell silent. She realized that what Chen Jinnian said made a lot of sense. "So your lawyer's letter is also as follows."

"Isn't it enough to get it? Of course, a lawyer's letter has to be genuine, and it's best to stamp it with a bunch of official seals. Regardless of whether the official seals are useful or not, just stamp them first. I don't believe that such a valuable position as the top trending search is not shady. It's probably a cooperation agreement framed by the year."

There is an industrial chain for hot searches, but Chen Jinnian has no plans to operate popular artists and idol stars, so there is no cooperation with Weibo in this regard.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jinnian touched his sister's nose and said, "You have a very high status. You were a top star when you debuted. You are more popular than me."

Chen Xuanyue didn’t understand what Chen Jinnian said. “Debut” and “top star” were still a bit beyond the scope for a one and a half year old child.

She reached out and held her brother's thumb, "My stomach is thundering, I want to ah."

Chen Xuanyue opened her mouth wide and bit the air, which made Chen Jinnian laugh.

"Wait a moment, Mom and Mother Wang are busy, it will be ready soon." He picked up his phone and turned on the camera. "Come on, Xuanyue, smile, let's take a picture."

After returning home, Chen Jinnian kept apologizing to Chen Xuanyue, not knowing that in just a few hours, he had become the target of online reports of "Diode". Even the movie rating, which had just been updated at noon, dropped to 6.5, and a large number of abusive one-star reviews appeared.

But ratings are really useless to Chen Jinnian. Now even "The Lord of the Rings" has been criticized for being too long and having no main storyline, and has received a large number of one-star bad reviews. The ratings of other movies can only be said to be like the beef on the packaging bag, for reference only.

Before the black fans who were attacking Chen Jinnian could finish their scolding, they discovered that he had updated his Weibo.

"I know you're anxious, but don't worry. Using another trending search to overshadow the public is a good idea, but it's best not to do it.

At the same time, those who are working overtime should take a closer look. This is my precious sister, not my illegitimate child. Not only did you get the identity wrong, you even got the gender wrong.

I announced a long time ago that I have a younger sister. But if you had watched my movies before spreading rumors, you would have known that my first movie was dedicated to her, and it was specifically noted at the end of the film.

Okay, I've finished clarifying everything I need to say. Now I have to go get my sister to eat."

Chen Jinnian's clarification was forwarded tens of thousands of times in a short period of time.

As a professional photographer with full skills, Chen Jinnian's photography skills are absolutely no problem. Coupled with Chen Xuanyue's cute eyes, he instantly captured a large number of "sister fans", who frantically @Chen Jinnian to ask for more photos.

At the same time, Weibo hid the topic of "Chen Jinnian's illegitimate child" and the disbandment before Chen Jinnian's lawyer's letter arrived. This is not some specious gossip, it involves minors, and it is a rumor that has been proven. Even if Nanshan Pizza Hut came in, it would not be able to win.

But as more and more people forwarded the message, they suddenly discovered something.

The first few sentences are not only funny, but also seem to be mocking someone.
