A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 2364 - 1588: The Journalism Major

"The so-called backlash, the more serious the child, the greater the hurt at times like this. Obviously, it would be better not to look at those criticisms, but serious kids want to earnestly face all opinions directly......"

"Kids who haven’t been beaten by society are like this."

Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.

"Not everyone will see you in a positive light. Some people are born liking to stir things up. The more sincere your attitude, the easier to be attacked. But that’s the charm of kids, the clear stupidity untainted by social attacks, rather cute."

"Yes, yes...... Once you enter society, it’s hard to find such earnestness."

"Why do you two sound so old-fashioned?"

Looking at Duanmu Huai and MEMJiu chatting, nearby Arima Kaname couldn’t help but comment.

"You two aren’t that old, yet you talk like uncles and aunts."

"........."

"........."

"???"

"Let’s prepare for filming."

"Mm, yes."

"???"

Of course, private complaints aside, Duanmu Huai still went through the crew, asking the "Present Love" production team to respond to this. After all, the initial purpose of allowing "Present Love" filming was to jointly promote "Jintian", not to create negative publicity. Given the current circumstances, "Present Love" naturally has to make a statement.

However, the next episode of "Present Love" did not change in this aspect, only providing an explanation that "Hei Chuan Chi Yin suspended participation due to physical discomfort", resulting in even more escalation online, even leading to insults towards her family, and many finding the manga author’s account, wanting her to request the production team to fire Hei Chuan Chi Yin.

"......Wow, I really didn’t expect this to become even more exaggerated."

At home, curled up on the sofa, Ruby was scrolling her phone, unable to help but express her feelings.

"What do you guys think about this?"

Looking at the computer, Duanmu Huai asked casually. Generally, after filming for some time, the crew naturally splits into several small groups. For instance, the main character group, supporting roles, and extras. Although Ruby participated, she was just an extra, but she had her own little circle.

"Us? Everyone’s a bit worried whether the filming of this drama can proceed smoothly, given how unexpected the situation is. Some think Hei Chuan caused trouble for everyone, some feel Hei Chuan was just unlucky......"

Speaking, Ruby walked over from the sofa, curiously peering at the computer screen.

"Sister, what are you watching?"

"’Present Love’ on-site recording."

"On-site recording?"

"That’s right, every time ’Present Love’ shoots, the crew simultaneously records it, partly for behind-the-scenes content and partly...... to preserve evidence."

"Preserve evidence?"

"Watch and you’ll understand."

Listening to Duanmu Huai’s words, Ruby curiously stared at the screen, which was playing the day’s shooting footage. Soon, it showed Hei Chuan Chi Yin attempting to pull away Yukiyuki Washimi, but accidentally hurting her face. The scene was chaotic, and Hei Chuan Chi Yin was frozen in shock, others panicked as well. However, Yukiyuki Washimi wasn’t very frightened, on the contrary, she hugged Hei Chuan Chi Yin, softly comforting her, and Hei Chuan Chi Yin tearfully apologized to Yukiyuki Washimi, who forgave her.

"......It doesn’t seem like such a big deal."

After watching the entire scene footage, Ruby expressed her opinion, from the recorded video, it appeared to be merely an accident at the filming site. Hei Chuan Chi Yin apologized to Yukiyuki Washimi afterward, and she forgave her. If the ’Present Love’ crew played this segment completely, the incident might have been resolved long ago.

After all, if the person involved forgives, naturally others shouldn’t say otherwise, right?

However......

"Hmph, that’s journalism school for you."

Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.

"Remember in the future, these media folks love taking things out of context, otherwise, why do you think I always prepare my own recordings for interviews?"

"Ah, is that so?"

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Ruby suddenly realized something. She remembered how her sister would always use her phone to record and film the entire interview process when being interviewed. Back then, Ruby just thought it was her sister’s odd habit.

"If you don’t have a complete recording, then whatever way the other party edits, you won’t be able to defend yourself. For instance..."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai picked up his phone and started filming Ruby.

"Let’s treat this as a casual interview. I’ll ask you a few questions."

"Ah, okay."

Though unsure of Duanmu Huai’s intention, Ruby nodded. He then asked a few common questions, operated his phone a bit, and played back the recording.

However, the content...

"What is this!"

Seeing herself giving incoherent answers, Ruby was completely dumbfounded.

"That’s not what I said!"

"Correct, but without evidence, there’s no truth. Even if you cry foul, the public will only believe what they see."

Duanmu Huai put away his phone.

"If you want to be an idol, remember this: truth is the least valuable thing in the entertainment world. Do you think those media journalists report my interviews truthfully because they like me? Wrong, it’s because I hold evidence. If they dare misquote me, I can counter with recorded footage, leaving them utterly speechless. At that point, so-called media credibility is worth less than toilet paper."

With that, Duanmu Huai took back his phone and dialed a number.

"And now, this comes in handy... Hello, Zuocang? It’s me. Yep, organize the site footage and post it to the official account, no editing, a single take, you know what to do... Clash with ’Present Love’ production team? Damn, these bastards made such a mess! I can sue them for breaching the contract! Tell them, since they refuse to remedy, we’ll do it. If they dare complain again, we’ll see them in court!"

After saying this, Duanmu Huai directly hung up and dialed another number.

"Hello, it’s me... Yeah, keep an eye on NKH TV’s shares. If there’s any for sale, buy them all. It’s just a matter of a day or two. That’s right, these bastards messed with me, and if I don’t straighten them out, they’ll never know why the flowers are so red!"

Duanmu Huai made several more calls before finally stopping, exhaling softly. Meanwhile, Ruby beside him had gone wide-eyed, utterly unable to comprehend what Duanmu Huai was doing.

"Just be a good idol. You won’t understand even if I explain."

Seeing his sister’s clear yet foolish gaze, Duanmu Huai silently extended his hand and patted her on the head.

He no longer doubted whether she was reincarnated—at this rate, no one would believe it even if she was. Some sixteen-year-old high school girls on set seemed more mature!

Before reincarnation, were you perhaps just a ten-year-old girl?

"Ring ring..."

At this moment, the phone rang. Duanmu Huai picked up his phone and glanced at it, then answered.

"Hello, MEMju? What’s up?"

"Ah, sorry to disturb you, senior. Have you seen Chi Yin?"

"No... What’s the matter?"

"Well, I wanted to talk to Chi Yin, but when I went to her house, her mother said she went out to buy food..."

"In this weather?"

As Duanmu Huai spoke, he glanced out the window—a pitch-black sky and torrential rain, considering that shooting had been postponed due to the typhoon.

"We’ve been waiting for her for a long time and still haven’t seen her. Now everyone is out looking for her... I thought she might have gone to see you."

"No, I’ll go look for her."

As Duanmu Huai spoke, he stood up.

If something happened, it would be even more troublesome!
