Chapter 106: Chapter 106: The Beginning of the Scandal Facing the camera. Voice-over: "Xiao Yun, what was your first reaction when you saw the gossip about you and Song Chi?" Zhou Yun laughed and said, "Unbelievable." Voice-over: "Did you ever think about having rumors with a big celebrity like Song Chi?" Zhou Yun shook her head and said, "Never thought about it, we are just not from the same world." Voice-over: "Aren’t you both from the entertainment industry?" Zhou Yun replied, "I’m just a newcomer, while he’s already at the top of the pyramid. Would a new employee feel like they’re in the same world as the big boss of the company?" Voice-over (chuckling): "It seems right indeed, how do you view these rumors with Song Chi?" Zhou Yun thought for a moment and said, "Such rumors must have a market, that’s why they appear. But on the other hand, standing from my viewpoint, I can’t say I hate these rumors. On one hand, I must admit they have brought me a lot of attention, which is a pleasant surprise at this stage of my career and has really helped my career development. On the other hand, because of these rumors, I got to know Song Chi as a friend. He... he is quite interesting, not as aloof as he seems on camera, in fact, quite cheeky off-screen, which makes you want to tease him. But he has a good temper, no matter how I tease him, he never really gets angry." Voice-over (curiously): "Sounds like you have a good impression of Song Chi?" Zhou Yun smiled thoughtfully and asked, "What are you trying to say?" Voice-over: "Is there a possibility that you and Song Chi might date in the future?" Zhou Yun: "If I say there’s a possibility, it makes it seem like there’s real chemistry between us, but we’re really just friends right now. If I say there’s no chance, it seems like I’m not charming enough, and as a beautiful woman like me, how can I admit to having no charm, right?" Voice-over: "You’re tough to interview." Zhou Yun playfully responded: "Well, I can’t just jump into every pit you dig for me." Voice-over (helplessly): "What kind of outcomes do you expect from filming this show?" Zhou Yun’s eyes twinkled with amusement as she replied, "I hope to become a bit more popular. I’m about to start filming soon, and I hope I won’t be forgotten during this period." Voice-over: "Song Chi said he would help you create buzz to keep you popular." Zhou Yun said: "When he mentioned in front of the cameras that he would help create buzz for me, the topic was already impossible to ignite. To reiterate solemnly, Song Chi and I are not dating; we are truly just friends!" The interview video ends here. Compared to Song Chi’s interview video that went online yesterday, Zhou Yun’s responses were more standard, but the part that invites interpretation is her answer regarding the possibility of dating Song Chi. Netizen’s attitudes manifested in several trends. Trend 1 (Miss Beautiful is so pretty): This Miss Zhou Yun is really beautiful, her smile is sweet and lovely, I’m totally charmed. If one day Song Chi announces his liking for Miss Zhou Yun, I wouldn’t find it strange at all. I like her too; she speaks so gently, like a flowing stream, not as volatile as Song Chi described. Song Chi is just deliberately slandering Miss! Trend 2 (What a perfect ’white lotus’, the green-tea b*tch): Disgusting, who is she acting so meek and fragile for? Ugh! Typical behavior of playing innocent after gaining an advantage. Having rumors with Song Chi is the biggest blessing of her life, appearing out of nowhere in the hot searches, becoming a popular celebrity, filming and securing endorsements! Really, she’s sickening.ahrenheit. How can there be such a shameless person in this world? Pretending to be innocent, claiming she and Song Chi are not dating, just friends, haha, if Song Chi wanted to date her, she’d be using a megaphone to broadcast it to the world! Trend 3 (Very few in number, but because a famous influencer shared a similar view, it caught quite some attention): Zhou Yun is quite clever. If the answer she gave was pre-written by a team, that’s another story. But if she actually came up with it on the spot, I must admire her emotional intelligence. The question of whether they might date in the future could directly explode Song Chi’s fans in anger, denying it might have people call her a green-tea b*tch, unclear and non-committal with Song Chi in the name of friendship, pleasing neither side. Yet, she cleverly shifted the focus to her charm, skillfully sidestepping the trap. Brilliant both in IQ and EQ. Online discussions abound. The show "After the Scandal" has successfully attracted the attention of many. Many people are looking forward to more stories about Song Chi and Zhou Yun after the program airs. But at this time, the program director Liang Tian spoke out: The show uses the scandal as a hook to focus on the real work and life states of the two protagonists. The name already risks bait-and-switch, and we dare not deceive the audience further in promotions._EVAPle ask_erase any expectation of a scandal-laden show; otherwise, you’ll be disappointed. Thus, Liang Tian was criticized on social media. When Zhou Yun saw Liang Tian criticized online, she was dumbfounded and asked Zhou Lan, "What’s this about?" "What else could it be? Just telling the truth, upsetting the viewers who were hoping to see your love story with Song Chi, a bunch of people vehemently condemning Liang Tian for deceit, while also demanding that the production team capture more scenes of you and Song Chi together." Zhou Yun: "Huh?" Zhou Yun asked, "Don’t they hate it when I get connected with Song Chi?" Zhou Lan replied, "Your preliminary interviews successfully attracted a group of CP (couple) fans for you both. Now, although Song Chi’s girlfriend fans don’t want you too close to him, there’s no helping it; the onlooker crowd is too big, and everyone is more eager to watch the excitement, they can’t get enough gossip." Zhou Yun said, "Huh." Then followed softly, "The director is kind of pitiful too." Zhou Lan said, "It was expected. She’s being criticized severely now, which will later reduce the accusations of deceiving the audience against you two. Otherwise, why would Song Chi’s team agree to film this show? It must have been communicated well in advance, pushing the director to take the hit, drawing fire. The current result is quite effective; high visibility, high discussion. Believe it or not, advertisers are probably about to trample the doors of the director and producer." Zhou Yun: "Alright then." "Don’t always feel like someone is really at a loss. The genuinely disadvantaged won’t silently endure all by themselves, you think they’re saints reincarnated?"
