290 [Just the beginning]
"Ms. Fang in the morning."
"Hello manager."
"Aunt Sixth Aunt!"
“…”
Fang Yihua agreed with various greetings with a cold face. She liked to laugh when she was young, and her charming smile attracted the attention of countless men. But now that my youth is gone, and to manage the production departments on both sides of Shaw Brothers and TVB, Fang Yihua always faces people coldly, and she thinks that this will make her look majestic.
When he came to the office and sat down, Fang Yihua asked her assistant to make a cup of coffee to refresh her, and called the person in charge of ratings in, asking, "What is the ratings of "The Love of Thousands of Water and Mountains"?"
The man replied: "The ratings have been rising in the past few days and have been close to 40 again."
"Very good, you go down first." Fang Yihua picked up the coffee and took a sip.
Fang Yihua is still very satisfied with the development of the current situation. Although the ratings of "Senior Sister Tuo Gun" have not dropped by more than 10 in the past three days, if public opinion continues to expand, Phoenix TV will definitely not be able to hold on. Even if "Senior Sister Tuo Gun" is not cut off directly, at least the original shooting plan will be shortened and the drama will end early.
Fang Yihua looked at several important newspapers today, and Kang Jianfei looked like he appeared in his mind. A sneer appeared on his face as if he was saying: Fight with me, you are still a little tender!
After roughly scanning the contents of the newspaper, Fang Yihua's office door was suddenly pushed open. Her assistant rushed in with a copy of the Oriental Daily and said, "Manager, something big happened!"
Fang Yihua looked at the assistant's panic expression and frowned, "What are you doing in a panic? You can come in without knocking on the door, there is no rule at all!"
The assistant quickly bowed and apologized, then spread the newspaper on Fang Yihua's desk, and said, "Today's Oriental Daily was released more than an hour late, and the front page headlines are..."
She didn't need to say what the headlines were. Fang Yihua saw the rough black title on the front page of the Oriental Daily at a glance:
"The wrongfulness of being falsely accused of leaving a suicide note to show one's ambition - Celebrity Chen Xiuwen committed suicide by cutting his wrist last night"
Fang Yihua's first reaction was to blame himself. After all, the whole thing was hyped up by her, and she didn't want to force anyone to death. The second reaction was that something was wrong. Chen Xiuwen committed suicide last night, but today it was an exclusive headline report from Oriental Daily, which felt a bit conspiracy.
The whole report is very simple, that is, Miss Chen Xiuwen, the second female lead in "Senior Sister Tuo Gun", has been viciously framed by some unscrupulous media in recent days. Faced with raging public opinion and distrust of her boyfriend, it has led to a trance and dared not go out to meet others. Under extreme pressure, Chen Xiuwen chose to show her ambition by death and committed suicide at home at around 10 o'clock last night. Fortunately, her sister discovered it early. Her family was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, and she was out of danger in time.
The newspaper also included a photo of Chen Xiuwen in the hospital. Chen Xiuwen was haggard and had a blank look, without the charm of a popular star.
In addition, the newspaper also published Chen Xiuwen's suicide note in full, which reads: "...Dad, mom, I'm sorry, my daughter is unfilial... Thank you for your grace for raising me over the years. If there is a next life, I will be your daughter... Everyone regards me as a bitch, and even Guoxiong (boyfriend) doesn't believe me. I have no way to explain. I can only prove my innocence by death... Those who spread rumors are forced to death by you, and I will not let you go even if I become a ghost..."
Fang Yihua looked at the newspaper stupidly and sat there for a long time unable to speak.
Scandals in the entertainment industry often occur, but basically they end up with the retirement of celebrities. Some of the thick-skinned forced people continue to hang out in the circle under the stigma. Celebrities these days are still shameless. Entertainment companies also care about reputation for the market and will not specifically speculate on negative hype like they do decades later.
According to Fang Yihua's idea, Chen Xiuwen was notorious at most, and the ratings of "Senior Sister Tuo Gun" were sluggish. Unexpectedly, a suicide case occurred in just a few days.
Fang Yihua was too lazy to guess whether Chen Xiuwen really committed suicide. The suicide note would win the sympathy of countless people. What else can prove its innocence better than experiencing one's will?

"Awang, you missed! I said Chen Xiuwen was framed, and you dare to slander her. Now she was made to commit suicide by you. There is no need to watch "Senior Sister Tuo Gun" and you are satisfied now?"
"That's not necessarily true. I think she committed suicide on purpose and made it for people to see."
"Skin shovel!"
In a company in Central, Chen Xiuwen's fans pounced on their colleagues, and the two started to fight in the writing room.
...
In a vegetable market in West Kowloon, a hawker selling aquatic products suddenly laughed in the newspaper and kept saying to other vegetable vendors: "I just said that Chen Xiuwen was wronged, now he always believes it?"
"Huizai, what newspaper did you take?" an old woman asked.
The vendor said: "Oriental Daily, Chen Xiuwen committed suicide last night and left a suicide note saying that he was falsely accused of, but fortunately he was rescued."
After listening to the scriptures, the old lady said, "Amitabha, Amitabha, the Bodhisattva bless you. Miss Chen's face was straight, and she was obviously not that kind of bad woman."
...
Down the office building where the Xiangjiang Morning Post is located, several people hired by Kang Jianfei were cursing upstairs, which soon attracted everyone to watch. From time to time, one or two Chen Xiuwen fans, or just join in, joined in, and finally everyone rushed into the office of the Xiangjiang Morning Post and smashed them.
After the police received the call, it took half an hour before coming late. The criminals who smashed the newspaper walked past the police in a swagger, and some even took the opportunity to move the benches, flower pots and kettles in the newspaper, but the police carried their bodies and thought they didn't see them.
After the news of Chen Xiuwen's suicide broke out, the most anger was the police in Hong Kong.
After finally a TV series promoting the positive image of the police came out, and Zheng Wenya and Chen Xiuwen have long become goddesses in the minds of the police. The damn media actually took the opportunity to smear and forced their idol to commit suicide. It was a crime!
Several police officers ran to the Xiangjiang Morning Post to investigate the scene, but when they were not careful, they smashed a few pieces of glass with a baton, and then left with satisfaction.
The editor-in-chief of "Xiangjiang Morning Post" has long been beaten to a pig's head, and I don't know where the glasses have flew. He looked at the messy office all over the ground and felt really crying.
"Bandit, robber!" The editor-in-chief exclaimed bitterly. The fish tanks in his office were moved away. "It must have been done by people from Phoenix Station. I will continue to publish in the newspaper tomorrow!"
...
News about Chen Xiuwen's suicide spread quickly. Although the circulation of Oriental Daily alone cannot be compared with the influence of many media, it has obviously played a certain role, and public opinion is no longer one-sided as it was the previous two days.
After the "Oriental Daily" was launched today, other newspapers became embarrassed and began to discuss how to report tomorrow.
One option is to turn the gun and attack the unscrupulous media "Xiangjiang Morning Post". But they have also followed the trend and condemned Chen Xiuwen these two days, and this is purely a slap in the face.
The second option is to continue to denounce Chen Xiuwen. But please, the person involved has been forced to commit suicide, and if he continues, he will become an unscrupulous media.
But it is impossible to mention such a big news without mentioning it, otherwise what newspapers will they run?
However, the media that did not follow the trend and scold Chen Xiuwen, it is their turn to laugh. Tomorrow, they only need to report objectively and criticize the unscrupulous media with a high attitude.
...
In Shao Yifu's villa, Fang Yihua's face was gloomy and clear, and the person sitting opposite her was Shao Daheng herself.
Shao Yifu sighed and said, "How many times have I said that you have to go the right path in business, and side-by-side methods will only harm others and yourself."
Fang Yihua didn't say anything, but he said in his heart: When Zou Wenhuai rebelled from Shaw Brothers, didn't you ask the Longhu Martial Arts Master to go to Jiahe's cinema to cause trouble?
Seeing Fang Yihua silent, Shao Yifu said with a stern face: "Okay, this matter ends here. Don't let someone mess with Chen Xiuwen again. If Chen Xiuwen really dies this time, the big thing will have a bad impact on us."
Fang Yihua said: "Even if Chen Xiuwen is really dead, it has nothing to do with TVB. It was the evil that the Xiangjiang Morning Post did."
Fang Yihua's meaning is very clear, that is, she did the whole thing very cleanly, and she could completely clear it up if something happened.
"Dingling..."
The phone rings, and the Filipino maid answers the phone and goes over and says, "Madam, your phone."
Fang Yihua answered impatiently and said, "Hey, who?"
An anxious voice came from the phone: "Aunt Liu, please turn the station and go to Phoenix Chinese Station."
Fang Yihua immediately felt something was wrong and quickly asked the Filipino maid to turn on the TV.
According to normal circumstances, Phoenix Chinese should now broadcast "Senior Sister Tuo Gun" at 9 o'clock, but it is an interview program on TV.
The host is Li Jianbin, an old man from Phoenix Station. The interview guests invited are Madon Bear, the producer of "Senior Sister Tuo Gun", as well as the male protagonist Wan Ziqi, and Chen Xiuwen's mother and sister on the other side.
The show has been going on for a few minutes. After chatting with the interview guests, the host suddenly cut the TV screen to the hospital. Chen Xiuwen's ward was full of reporters, and the doctor also confirmed the fact that she committed suicide, saying that the patient had cut three times on his wrist. Two times were afraid that he would cut the artery very shallow. Fortunately, he discovered it early and only lost 16 blood volume in his body.
After the screen was cut back to the studio, McDonald and Wan Ziqi both proved that Chen Xiuwen was a good girl who loved work and respected herself, while her mother and sister were in pain, saying that Chen Xiuwen was forced to do so much miserable.
Then the topic changed again. Under the inquiry of the host, Chen Xiuwen's family began to recall her growth experience. A good woman who is self-disciplined and self-improvement is presented to the audience...
At the end of the show, after criticizing unscrupulous media, the host also insultedly scolded TVB, saying that some people use despicable means if they can't compete for the ratings.
