Chapter 579
This is indeed a great deceptive event now.
Top Stream’s gender change was a bigger shock than even Top Stream’s sudden marriage and birth.
Even though Weibo had been fixed, fans and other netizens were having trouble coming back to their senses.
The water army and marketing numbers hired by Times Media all came down in unison as well.
[Deceiving the public, inferior artistes!
[Demand to be blocked!!!]
[Ask the General TV station to block this kind of artist, this kind of artist doesn’t deserve to be an idol, what if they lead children astray?
Boycott the movie “New Life”! Shang Yaozhi and Yunhe Yue have worked together, and they are both artists of First Light Media, so there is no way they don’t know her true gender, right?
[And this is why “The New Life” is entering the Golden Awards? What a joke for foreigners to see!
There were a lot of intense fans, many of whom sent out statements of disaffection.
But there were more fans who waited quietly, even if they too
[I’m sorry, I can’t accept it [tears].]
[Brother Yun, can you come out and say something? As long as you say one word, I still believe you.]
Ying Ziji read the fan comments for a long time and fell into silence.
Through the screen, it was as if she could see countless fans collapsing and losing control.
The female secretary didn’t wait for a reply and spoke cautiously, “Boss?”
Ying Ziyi returned to her senses and her eyes stared: “Issue a statement, admit it first, we’ll meet later and hold a press conference immediately in the afternoon.”
The female secretary responded, “Yes, boss.”
Ying Zidian went out of the retreat.
Fu Yunshen was waiting outside.
He turned his head sideways and noticed that the girl’s mood was not right.
He reached out and took her into his arms, coming to brush his fingers over her face: “What’s wrong?”
Ying Ziji was silent for a brief moment: “I made a mistake.”
Although Fu Yunshen had gifted her with an entertainment empire, her understanding of the entertainment industry was actually a bit worse.
Male group auditions, for whatever reason, were wrong when girls came to participate.
If this were placed in the sports world, it would be much more serious than doping for a competition.
It’s like a female athlete entering a competition and then suddenly testing out that she is actually a male.
However, because of her lack of knowledge of the entertainment industry, this mistake was not realised by Yu Xuesheng when she signed up Yunhe Yue, nor did she realise it until later when the competition started.
She did make a risk a*sessment plan, but the only thing she overlooked was the feelings between people.
Without a “heart”, it was difficult for her to feel all the things on earth.
In this world, there is more than just family, love and friendship.
When fans follow a star, they are also invested in their feelings.
This really hurts them badly.
“Anyone can make mistakes, saints do, we are not saints.” Fu Yun Shen stroked her head, his tone gentle, “But then, Yoyo, we will correct it.”
After a pause, he looked at his hand, his voice lowered, “I’ve made mistakes too, very serious ones, people have died.”
Ying wrinkled his brow, “You were only two years old then, you mustn’t blame yourself.”
“It wasn’t that time.” Fu Yunshen faded, his eyelashes trembling slightly, “A few years ago.”
Ying remembered that Qin Lingyan had told him that because of a certain incident, Fu Yunshen no longer touched any computer technology.
“It’s to let you know that I’m here, all the time.” Fu Yun Shen added, his eyes gentle and firm, “If there are any mistakes, we will face them together.”
“Mm, I know.” Ying leaned against him, “I’ll go to the press conference.”
“I’ll contact Ian’s side.” Fu Yunshen, “This matter, Time Media has intervened and probably alerted the Pazzi family.”
After a pause, he asked again, “Accompany you to the event?”
“No need.” Ying took out her hat and put it on, “I’ll bear my own mistakes.”
Saying that, she glanced at him again, “Do you want to blow up the hot list too?”
If the two of them were to appear together, it would be a real sensation.
Fu Yunshen just smiled, “Then I’ll watch you from below.”
Ying Zidian went out.
Fu Yunshen was still standing in the same place, tilting his head slightly.
After a long time, he pulled out a photo from a book in silence.
On it were two young men, both wearing military uniforms.
They were in their prime, and they were full of vigour.
On their right chests was an emblem with the word ibi embroidered on it.
Fu Yunshen looked at the photo for a while, then slowly folded it up and put it back.
But there were some mistakes that he had no chance of correcting.
**
First Light Media’s acknowledgement statement was released soon after, blowing up the hot search list once again.
This kind of thing is simply insurmountable, the netizens who ate it were just shocked and crouching, but the fans were completely hurt.
Cloud and Moon is a top streamer with an extremely large fan base.
This year she released an album and four singles, of which she came out of the loop, half of them.
This level of out-of-the-loop is such that you can hear her songs everywhere you go, and even people who are not familiar with her will sing along.
The other stars in the entertainment industry were also confused, especially the other few who debuted with Yunhe Yue.
They were completely surprised that their captain was a girl.
After Tian Xing Entertainment closed down, Hua Yin joined another entertainment company.
“Brother Hua, great opportunity!” The agent was excited, “This time there’s no way for Yunhe Yue to turn over, as long as she’s banned from the entertainment industry, she
Hua Yin narrowed his eyes, “Don’t rush yet, we’re not the only ones who want to make a move, let’s see what other families do.”
He would not be the first bird in a gun fight.
There are indeed quite a few people who are stupid enough to move.
The story had been broken by Times Media and they were following up on it, so they quickly contacted the owner of the number under the account @gravebounce and immediately sent someone disguised as a journalist to the fan’s house to find someone.
It was a girl, thin and tall, with red, bloodshot eyes that had obviously been crying for a long time.
An employee came forward and smiled faintly: “You’re Yunhe Yue’s fan, aren’t you? Or a big fan? She’s seriously cheating you, don’t you want to stand up for her and make her quit the circle and disappear completely? We can help you.”
Who knew that when the girl heard these words, her expression instantly changed and she sneered, “What the hell are you guys? Dream on!”
“With a bang, she slammed the door behind her.
The girl hugged her legs and slowly sat down against the door, hugging her legs as the tears began to flow again.
This was someone who had genuinely liked for a year.
It was only online, but this person had been with her for a long time.
After all she had been through along the way, how could she afford to really hurt.
But for a while she couldn’t accept at all that the person she liked had changed gender.
Outside the door.
Several Time Media employees looked at each other, their faces all a bit unpleasant.
Especially the closest employee, whose nose was almost knocked out of place by the door.
This was the imperial capital, or the country of China, and they couldn’t possibly force their way into people’s homes, so they had to give up in the end.
A few employees turned around a few junctions and met up with Helena.
Helena was still on Youth 303 and couldn’t have any negative press, she was wrapped up tight: “How did it go?”
“It’s not even a breakdown in persona but a gender shift, and you’re still defending it?” Helena sneered, “These Chinese people, they can’t be greased.”
She pondered for a moment, looked down, and made another call to Times Media headquarters.
“Mr. Clare, that group of Yunhe Yue’s fans won’t stand up against her, and it doesn’t seem to help to start with her fans here.”
There was no telling what was said over there and Helena’s eyes lit up, “Yes, Mr. Clare, we’re on it.”
**
The press conference for First Light Media was held in a hurry, but all the major media were present.
The female secretary hesitated for a moment, “Boss, won’t you tell us about Yun and Yue’s family situation?”
“Things aren’t that bad yet, it’s her privacy and her deepest scar, it’s not good to expose it now.” Ying Ziji changed her clothes, “Let her finish recording the song first, it’s up to her to decide if she wants to tell.”
The female secretary nodded and followed the girl.
The press conference was synchronised online.
As soon as Ying Ziyi took to the stage, the media could not resist starting to scramble for questions.
“Primeval Light Media has always boasted of being a place for artists to create their dreams, so now, has it also been reduced to a high and mighty capital that specialises in creating a fake flow to suck the blood of fans?”
“Does First Light Media not treat fans as people at all? Just get the money and that’s it?”
“May I ask what is the difference between you guys now and Skybound Entertainment and Star Entertainment at that time?
The media’s questioning was sharper than one another.
Ying Ziyi rarely appears in public, and the last time she recorded a variety show with Norton University, she said very little on the show.
But as much as the academic and entertainment worlds are linked, the two circles are too different.
The entertainment world is one where the slightest thing can be made to look big, and with the deliberate guidance of water armies and marketing numbers, it is always possible to force people by public opinion.
[I’m not a fan of Yun and Yue, I just came to see how Ying Shen replied.]
[+1, me too.]
[To be honest, it’s a bit hard for me too, because how can I put it, Ying Shen did help deceive.]
The reporter at the front handed over the microphone and got straight to the point: “May I ask Chief Executive Ying, do you know the true gender of Yun and Yue?”
Ying Ziyi looked calm: “Yes, He Yue is a girl, I knew that from the start.”
With this admission, the netizens watching the live broadcast exploded.
[So they really knew!
[It’s a little hard for me to accept this too ……]
Immediately afterwards, without waiting for the reporters to ask another question, Ying Ziji spoke again, “So here I am, apologizing to her fans for not considering your mood-”
She slowly said three words, “I’m sorry.”
The female secretary, the chairman of the board and several other senior officials already knew that Ying Ziji was going to apologise.
But when they heard her say those three words, they all trembled.
Not only the reporters on the scene, but also those watching the live broadcast on the internet were shocked.
Many people had the impression that Ying Zidian knew a lot of things and was almost all-powerful.
She was always calm, cool and strong-hearted, and would not even show any vulnerable side.
They would sometimes really think of her as a god, unclimbable, only to be watched from afar.
The fall of a god from the altar is also something that many people would like to see.
Even now, there are still many keyboard warriors who will belittle Ying Zigian, never short of red-eyed people who can’t see the good in others.
But no one, no matter who it was, expected her to actually apologise.
“To be wrong is to be wrong.” Ying Zidian continued, “No one is immune to making mistakes, I’m human too, it’s our fault, we have to apologise, we lie flat and let mock.”
“Kazuki disguised as a man, of course there are difficult things to say, but it is true that we have deceived you all, I am really sorry.”
There was silence on the pop-ups.
There wasn’t even a single word left.
Ying Ziyi was still saying, “The money that the fans played and voted for, First Light Media will refund all of it without fail after collecting the user’s account information.”
“Moral damages, any needs, the company makes up for it.”
“I hereby a*sure you that First Light Media will never degenerate into a company like Skybound Entertainment and Star Entertainment, it has always been a place for everyone to realise their dreams.”
Under the camera, the girl’s face was still the same, her eyebrows clear and crisp.
In this way, she is telling everyone.
She, forever, deserves your trust and your love.
There was silence in the room.
The female secretary covered her mouth, and her eyes were red.
[If you know your mistakes, you will still be Ying Shen.
[I knew that Ying Shen would never let anyone down!
[Why don’t you like such a person?
The reporters were silent for a moment before asking questions again.
“May I ask what’s so difficult for Yun and Yue to say?”
“Sorry, it involves very private matters.” This time it was the female secretary who answered, “Yun is still recording a song, this song was promised to her fans, everything will be discussed after she finishes recording the song.”
A foreign reporter pressed his earpiece and received a transmission from Times Media.
Then he picked up the microphone and handed it over, “Executive Director Ying, under these circumstances, do you think that the film, ‘New Life’, can still win the first Golden Award for China?”
He laughed somewhat sarcastically, “So many people are watching, please don’t play sloppy and speak straight.”
Chapter 580
Times Media was not at all expecting that Ying would apologise in public.
As the president of Times Media, Claire knew what it was like to be a capitalist.
High and mighty.
So he thought that First Light Media would rely on capital to suppress the ma*ses.
A misstep.
“This matter, has nothing to do with today’s press conference.” The female secretary sneered, “May I ask in what capacity you are questioning our Executive Director?”
The foreign journalist was dumbfounded and held his breath.
Ying Ziyi glanced at the foreign journalist and her voice was cool: “First Light Media will fully follow up the rest of the matter, but-”
“Those who want to use this opportunity to drag Primeval Light Media down, bully He Yue and provoke fans, I will definitely not let go either.”
This was the end of the press conference.
When Ying returned to his office, Director Lu was directing the other senior executives to prepare for the task.
He couldn’t help but complain, “President, aren’t these fans too excited? It doesn’t really make much difference whether it’s a man or a woman.”
Ying Ziji looked at him, “You don’t follow stars?”
Director Lu was bewildered: “No, I don’t.”
The company was busy all day long, and many stars were right under his nose, so he didn’t have time to follow stars.
“Well, I don’t either.” Ying picked up his cup, “So I can’t relate to how they feel.”
“They’re all victims, no need to blame.”
Ying Ziji took a sip of water and went out.
Councilor Lu scratched his head, still unable to understand.
“The analogy is that you grew up liking a girl, spending money on things for her, and spending a lot of time and investing emotion, and she acted like a girl too.” The female secretary lowered her voice, “only to have her suddenly become a guy one day and you have a normal sexual orientation.”
Councilor Lu: “……”
This he really couldn’t accept at first, he had to slow down.
**
It was already the next day after Yunhe Yue finished recording the song.
Knowing this matter, she was more calm than anyone else thought she would be.
In this year in the entertainment industry, although she had the protection of First Light Media, she had seen a lot of nasty places.
“Sister, I’m going to meet my fans.” Yun He Yue said, “Yes, those you can meet, meet them one by one, and I’ll apologise to them.”
Ying Ziyang paused, “Wait a moment.”
She called Yu Xuesheng.
She didn’t know how Yun and Yue’s mental state was now.
Yu Xuesheng quickly picked up and sighed even after knowing what had happened, “I’m sorry, Miss Ying, I hadn’t thought about that either.”
“But Kazuki’s entry into the entertainment industry has really helped her recover a lot, she’s a healthy person now, there’s nothing wrong with her.”
Ying nodded as she held the phone, “Let’s go.”
The first place the two went too was the home of @gravebounce, a fan.
This fan was a big fan, having followed it all the way from Youth 202, and had spent millions just to play cast for Yun and Yue at the time.
The girl thought it was another reporter and opened the door impatiently, and froze on the spot when she saw the person who came.
She had been to a concert once, and sat in the front row.
But never had she seen him so close up.
The teenager’s dimples were shallow and clear.
“I’m sorry.” Yunhe Yue took the initiative to raise her hand and hug her, “I care about you guys and never wanted to trick you.”
After staying for a while, the girl’s tears suddenly fell down.
Yunhe Yue was a bit at a loss for words.
“Oooooooo, you don’t have b**bs.” The girl cried even sadder, “How come you don’t have b**bs, I like big breasted beauties, my wall is Qin Lingyu, she is big breasted.”
The more she cried the louder her voice became, “Brother Yun, it turns out that you are not wrapped up, because you are only a……”
Yun and Yue: “……”
Ying Ziji: “……”
For a moment, she didn’t know whether to sympathize with Yun He Yue or her fans.
“Forget it.” The girl wiped her tears, “Who let you sing well and dance well.”
The most important thing was to respect the fans.
Unlike Hua Yin who totally only treated the fans as tool people.
After such a long reprieve and being someone you like, gender really doesn’t matter that much.
“Executive Ying, apologies to you.” The girl gave a deep bow towards the girl, her eyes red again, “I was too impulsive, I shouldn’t have said you were misbehaving and rose to your academics again, I’m sorry.”
“In response to the matter of Kazuki, you’re right.” Ying raised an eyebrow, “If I were to get angry because of your uncontrollable mouth under your emotional outburst, I might not live to see this day.”
She walked out, leaving the room to Yun and Yue and the girls.
The phone rang at that moment.
Because she was thinking about Yun and Yue, Ying didn’t see that it was a video call and casually clicked to confirm.
By the time she realised it, it was too late.
The young man’s golden head was reflected in the screen. His ice-blue eyes were like the sea, deep and sentimental.
The face was handsome, like Apollo, the god of the sun.
Cesar Laurent, in those days, was the dream man of all the young girls in Filippo.
“Boss, you actually answered my video call, you-” Cesar was also surprised to know that he had seen the girl’s face.
All words came to a screeching halt.
Although he had long known that his boss was female, he had always thought it was a serious and quaint one.
Who knew that it was even prettier looking than him.
This tm?
Cesar was genuinely shocked, “Boss?”
“Well, it’s me, by the way.” Ying Zigui simply said it all, “At that time, you sent a piece of ice jade to Huacheng in China, that was for me.”
Cesar was very impressed by this incident.
The nok forum had been established for so long and had only been hacked once.
It turned out that he and his boss had been in contact that long ago, only she hadn’t recognised him.
Xize: “Boss, you don’t love me anymore.”
Ying Zidian: “You think too much, I’ve never loved you.”
Xize: “……”
Ying Zigui thought for a moment, “By the way, I’m going to o continent right away, I can see you.”
Cesar balanced out now.
He cut a picture of the video call and made it into a screensaver.
Jobe came in, “Master, what is this?”
Did their master have a peach?
It was too rare.
“Look closely, this is my boss.” Cesar tsked, “Pretty, isn’t it?”
Jobe cracked up instantly, “Lord, master?”
Xize stroked his chin, “My boss said she was coming to O Chau for a visit and would come to Fei Leng Cui, when she arrives, you will go and receive her yourself.”
When Ying Zigui arrived, he would also be able to get out of this room.
Jobe reluctantly snapped out of his shock: “Yes, master.”
**
Yunhe Yue personally went to meet many of her fans and also recorded a video online apologising and thanking them.
The storm gradually calmed down.
[Ying Shen, there is no need to refund the money, beat the cast we willingly.]
[All right, female I also admit, I still think sister good, is brother do not know which day can give you whole several sister-in-law and illegitimate child out, sister focus on career, today began we are all career powder.]
[So what, when is Yun going to wear women’s clothes and grow long hair? I would like to see it, as a boyfriend fan I have no objection to calling a wife, right?
[I’m still a girlfriend fan, Yun doesn’t have b**bs [smile]]
[???? You posted it?
[???? Why can you post it? Where did you post it, take me with you.
A small number of fans got very emotional.
But most of the fans did keep waiting again, and there were quite a few who didn’t care at all whether Cloud and Moon were male or female.
Those who deliberately mentioned the boycott and insulted were the water forces sent by Times Media, as well as the pa*sersby who were brought up to speed.
However, Era Media was completely unprepared for the fact that Yunhe Yue had gone from a total collapse at the beginning to a perfect comeback, without even using a week of time.
Not only that, but First Light Media’s stocks have all gone up along with it because they were so truthful to the public.
Helena’s face was ugly: “Checked it out?”
“Checked it out, Miss Helena. It’s a sexually aggressive domestic violence man.” The employee said, “Beating his wife and children, now he’s accomplishing nothing, and his wife is too weak to divorce him.”
“Yun and Yue were beaten by him for a long time when they were children, and the neighbours called the police and it ended up only being counted as a domestic dispute.”
Helena looked at the scruffy photo of the middle-aged man with disdain, “This kind of man deserves to live?”
Beating a woman, beating a child, is most despised.
Helena was calm: “Leak the news to him, I’m going to go on recording the show.”
Because of the sudden exposure of Yun and Yue’s identity, Youth 303 also suspended filming.
The trainees could take time off to go out.
But now Cloud and Moon’s reputation had achieved an epic reversal, and originally Youth 303 was an international talent show.
Many people abroad, after learning of Yunhe Yue’s true gender, instead came to the show out of curiosity and gave in at once.
Some even said that if Yunhe Yue practiced for another year, it was likely that she would win the Grammy directly.
If so, First Light Media would really have to officially break into the international scene.
Right now, the most important thing was to absolutely not let Primeval Light Media win a golden statue award with the movie “New Life”.
The staff nodded and quickly went into action.
The middle-aged man’s place was also easy to find, in a small city all silo in the north of China.
The house was dark and smelled awful.
The employee covered his picking nose and handed over the photos and information.
The man looked greedily at the pictures of Yun and Yue.
In the photo Yunhe Yue was still dressed as a teenager, clean and clear, completely unmistakable from the abuse she had suffered at home.
The man didn’t recognise it at first, he had almost forgotten that he had a child.
Little did he know that he would become a big star.
How much money that had to be.
She couldn’t be allowed to just coast through the entertainment industry and make a fortune.
