After filming the final scene— Su Wenli being handcuffed and led into a police car, turning back to give the camera a meaningful smile—this segment was completed.
After the director yelled "cut," Song Shi'an was immediately handcuffed. He rubbed his wrists, took a sip of the mineral water Lin Fan handed him, and thanked the director and staff one by one.
As soon as Lu Shiyue finished work and went home, she started working overtime to select and edit images.
Most of the editing was done on the scene lighting and color tone; Song Shi'an's natural features were already there, so there was no need to change his face.
I worked on it until dawn, when the sky outside was just beginning to lighten. Finally, at 5:30, I posted the nine-grid photo with the caption. " An'an, your moment of triumph has finally arrived! Congratulations An'an on wrapping up filming for ' The Invisible Bystander '!"
And immediately followed Song Shi'an, becoming the only person she followed on that account.
This is an account that Lu Shiyue started operating several years ago and is quite famous in overseas fan circles.
As soon as the news broke, an insider immediately went to overseas fans to leak the information, and the comment section was quickly flooded with comments.
"Hey, which washed-up celebrity did you jump ship to and abandoned River ( Jiang Xuhe )? This picture is over-photoshopped."
"You unfollowed him just to become a fan of this guy? Who is he? Can he even compare to my River?"
"I was wondering what happened when River suddenly unfollowed me a while ago and said they would no longer cooperate. Turns out they just went back overseas. They made enough money overseas and are now going back to fleece people again."
"I've checked it several times. Just because you changed your account doesn't mean nobody will know? What kind of lousy name is this? Garbage."
Some fans even came back to speak up for them after they had stopped supporting them.
"What's wrong with him? People unfollowed him because of what your brother did, right? This guy is way more handsome than yours."
"Just came back from searching. The fan forums over there are so harmonious, no scandals at all. But when I found some gossip about your brother, the comment section was unusually quiet. That's the difference."
"Really, sis?! Just based on her looks alone, I'd go for it without hesitation!"
Lu Shiyue was practically balding from looking at the comments section.
River has been confirmed to have slept with fans and has a chaotic private life; his main account with over ten million followers has also announced that he is no longer a fan.
There are still many irrational fans; the secondary account lost more than two million followers overnight.
Lu Shiyue didn't care. She started as a fan site admin out of passion, and it gradually became a profession. She didn't expect that even after changing her account, people would still keep watching her.
She wasn't worried about herself, but rather about the negative impact it might have on Song Shi'an. After all, she had just taken over his fan site and already gotten into this mess; it didn't seem very professional.
Domestic fans, upon seeing leaked photos from the wrap party, excitedly rushed in to admire Attorney Su's beauty, only to find the comments section a chaotic mess.
It took me less than ten minutes to figure out what had happened, and then I turned around and saw a bunch of unlucky people jumping around in the comments section, saying extremely nasty things.
Then we won't hold back. We'll go all out, face to face! Your idol's scandal has been exposed, and you still dare to insult them? You've got to pay An'an your life!!!
For the first time, overseas fans, often blindly following the trend, witnessed the true fighting power of Chinese netizens, not to mention the large number of casual observers who also joined the fray.
This is no longer just a matter between idols. To insult someone and then involve your own country is simply outrageous. When the people of mainland China are united, your ancestors for eighteen generations won't even be enough to cover your tracks.
It was truly a thrilling and exhilarating battle.
Lu Shiyue didn't expect the battle to end in just two hours. She hadn't even unleashed her full power yet, so how did those mindless fans run away?
She had a lot of explosive information about the other party's brother. Out of humanitarian considerations, she spared her former idol and peacefully unfollowed him. It's a real pity; she wanted to reveal more.
A heated debate with a group of scholars brought Song Shi'an a lot of onlookers.
In order to understand the whole story, the onlookers figured out the whole story in just half an hour and then kissed Song Shi'an passionately.
"Wow, this morning's gossip is so exciting! Although I don't follow the entertainment industry, I have to admit, this big fan site admin is really something. Unfollowing her was the right thing to do. Song Shi'an is the best!"
"Let me translate the cause and effect: The former fandom of the 'fan site' collapsed, and after unfollowing her, she took on a new fandom. The former fandom's fans lost their temper and started cursing, but were then brutally beaten by the new fandom's fans and casual observers. The former fandom's fans ran away with their heads in their hands. In conclusion: Well done."
"I was so busy eating melon seeds that I was late for work! I guess I'll just take a day off and let me do some serious research."
"I will quit my job and spend the whole night reading the insightful comments in the comment section. In just two hours, I have witnessed the profoundness of Huaxia civilization."
"I'm a fan now, you guys continue, I'm going to stay up all night watching An'an's drama."
"If you don't understand, just ask. Is the An'an you're talking about the one who says goodnight to snakes in the rainforest, shares a den with a jaguar, and uses leaves to extract salt for grilling Song Shi'an? If it's him, then I get it, I'm a fan."
"You're right, it's him! He recently played a lawyer!!! The person in the picture is him!!!"
"Eat all the Amway products! I'll go first!"
Lu Shiyue received a message from Ji Shuyao: "Take care of the aftermath, send the information to my email, and someone will handle it."
She stared at the screen for two seconds, and she witnessed firsthand how protective Stars Entertainment was of Song Shi'an.
She had just realized that most of the online trolls in the comments section were sent by Stars Entertainment, and that it was impossible to suppress them so quickly and thoroughly with just casual fans and passersby.
She quickly compiled all the negative information about River into a single file and sent it to Ji Shuyao's email address, then stretched.
It's not her fault; who knows what the company will do next.
Lin Fan created three alternate accounts and used every swear word he could think of to hurl insults.
Anyone who dares to touch his brother will be killed! By the time he looked up from his phone with red eyes, the matter was almost resolved.
He glanced at the time and it was already past eight o'clock. He wondered if his brother was awake yet. He had ordered breakfast for Song Shi'an. The train back to Capital was at noon, so his brother should wake up later.
When Song Shi'an woke up, he felt he had slept very well that night. He had been staying up late every night memorizing lines, and now he was finally free.
He stretched, rolled around on the bed for a while, and then heard a knock on the door.
Is Lin Fan a mind reader? He just woke up and he's already knocking on the door.
He swaggered to the door in his slippers, opened it, and saw Lin Fan with a flushed face and an excited expression, looking like he had just drunk three cups of espresso.
Did you win the lottery this morning? You seem so happy.
He leaned against the doorframe and tentatively asked, " Lin Fan, is there something you haven't told me?"
Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat. Really? Based on his understanding of his brother, he shouldn't be checking Weibo so early in the morning.
He scratched his head. "Brother... you knew all along?"
Song Shi'an's eyes lit up. Good brother, you've struck it rich!
He pulled the person inside, peeked into the hallway—good, no one was there—then closed the door, lowered his head, and whispered, "How many?"
