Chapter 170 Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes!

Meng Yunda actually felt a bit like he was dreaming.

Just as Zhong Xiaoyun said, as the biggest victim in the first episode, his identity as a gay who was secretly married and had a child was exposed during the live broadcast. He was ruined and the CP that he had planned to hype up completely collapsed. Now even his biggest support, Zhao Mingtao, has been exposed for having an affair with a woman, and this affair was also revealed by Apple Entertainment, which is under Sichuan Southern TV.

No matter how you look at it, Zhong Xiaoyun should hate Chuannantai to the core. That is why Meng Yunda’s first reaction after seeing him was to find the security department’s phone number and be ready to call for help at any time.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. This is an irrefutable truth since ancient times.

The other party suffered such a great blow, and his career, love, and marriage were all in vain. In this situation, Zhong Xiaoyun is no different from a gambler who lost all his money and his family was broken up. Meng Yunda must of course make every possible effort to avoid being dragged down.

But he never expected that Zhong Xiaoyun would actually say such a thing.

Meng Yunda seemed to be unable to hear clearly, and seemed to doubt what he heard. He scratched his ears in disbelief:

“What did you say?”

Zhong Xiaoyun looked calm and expressionless, as if he had no idea what he had just said. But when he opened his mouth, Meng Yunda realized that this man was not without idea at all, but too knowledgeable.

He said calmly:

“I know you must be confused now and don’t understand why I do this.”

“As if I can get through this as long as I stick by Zhao Mingtao? It should be like this. Wushuang Film and Television is a huge business. Mr. Liu has been in the entertainment industry for so many years. His network of relationships is complicated. He can suppress any scandal. What Zhao Mingtao did, as long as he wanted, he could do it easily even if Zhao Mingtao couldn’t contact the outside world during the show.”

“It’s nothing more than spending more money and energy, and meeting more big bosses, right? I cling to Zhao Mingtao, which is equivalent to clinging to Wushuang Films. If Zhao Mingtao is happy, then of course I can also take advantage of these benefits.”

At this point, Zhong Xiaoyun paused and laughed at himself:
“I originally thought so, but things have developed to the point where they are now, and it is no longer something that anyone can control.”

“I originally thought that although Zhao Mingtao was a bit playful, he still had feelings for me. But after Shu Yi’s affair with him was exposed, he didn’t answer my call, didn’t even say a word, and then went on a live show with Shu Yi.”

“Not only are they both on the show, but also Shuyi’s legal husband and my ex-wife.”

“I’m afraid the whole internet is wondering who can take a sneak shot of me to see how I react now? After all this, even if netizens have a memory like a goldfish, they won’t be able to get rid of these labels when they mention me in the future.”

Meng Yunda understood a little, but after thinking about it, he felt that he didn’t quite understand.

What does this mean?
To summarize the main idea of ​​Zhong Xiaoyun’s lengthy speech above, does it mean that because she was betrayed by Zhao Mingtao, she was disappointed with this boyfriend, and turned love into hate, so she planned to find the Southern Sichuan TV station that caused him to be in this situation today to cooperate with Zhao Mingtao completely?
After sorting out the logic, Meng Yunda was shocked.

What kind of iron-blooded love brain is this? !
No matter how good he was at cultivating his Qi, his face was blank for a rare moment.

Zhong Xiaoyun’s logic and train of thought are truly beyond the imagination of normal people.

“Is that why???”

Meng Yunda couldn’t hold it in for a long time and said:

“Although I don’t know what you want to reveal, I can imagine that it must be something very important, otherwise you wouldn’t bring it up in front of me.”

“Zhong Xiaoyun, you have to think it through. This kind of thing is purely self-defeating. Even if the information you disclosed is enough to completely destroy Zhao Mingtao, you will not benefit from it. And if he doesn’t fall, when he finds out that you are the one who disclosed the information, you will be in trouble.”

“Unless you don’t plan to stay in the entertainment industry anymore.”

“Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, but as long as they don’t break the law, there’s still a chance. Even if people who break the law go to jail for a few years and reform themselves, they can still work when they get out. You’re still young, there’s no need to ruin your future out of anger, right? It’s not necessary to go to that extent just to have a relationship, really not.”

Zhong Xiaoyun was also a little surprised.

I didn’t realize that Director Meng is actually a kind-hearted senior. It’s obvious that the information he’s going to reveal will only benefit him and not harm him, but he’s still so considerate of himself?

He laughed and shook his head:

“You misunderstood. Although I seem to be in love, Zhao Mingtao has already done everything he could. No matter how stupid I am, I can’t still have fantasies about him, let alone sacrifice myself for him.”

“Speaking of which, this matter is somewhat related to Han Fei.”

Meng Yunda was completely confused.

Han Fei?

Is it him again?
Isn’t this guy still disconnected from the outside world on the show… It’s okay if he has contact with the authorities, and Zhu Chengbiao, that old guy, protects him, probably for reasons he doesn’t know, but this guy has already been stranded on a deserted island, why is there anything about him everywhere???

Meng Yunda’s eyebrows were twisted:

“No, what does this have to do with Han Fei?”

Zhong Xiaoyun’s smile was somewhat intriguing:

“Han Fei is a smart man. He was suppressed at the beginning because Wushuang Film and Television was too powerful and he couldn’t handle it alone.”

“Now he has allies to help him. Chuannantai – that is, you – I don’t know why, but you also want to take action against Wushuang Films, so I think he has a chance of winning, and a big chance of winning.”

“Last night, after the news broke, Han Fei contacted me and showed me a live broadcast that was banned online. The protagonists in the live broadcast happened to be Shu Yi and me.”

“I was so desperate that I couldn’t think straight. I grabbed anyone I wanted to save my life. So I asked him what I should do. Guess what he said?”

It is no exaggeration to say that Meng Yunda’s mind is a mess now, not much better than Zhong Xiaoyun who was suddenly attacked with a club last night.

He subconsciously asked:
“What did you say?”

Zhong Xiaoyun looked relaxed and natural, not much worse than Meng Yunda who was calm and composed just now. “He said that the way to get me out of this predicament is very simple.”

“My image has collapsed now. Ultimately, it’s because the story between me, Zhao Mingtao, and Lu Xiaoli was exposed. But Zhao Mingtao was invisible in it. Of course, when he told me yesterday, the live broadcast accident hadn’t happened yet, so there is a slight discrepancy in this point, but it’s not a big problem.”

“Come to think of it, Zhao Mingtao is invisible in my news, but his affair with Shu Yi has been exposed to netizens across the country, and it has caused such a sensation. Even if Wushuang’s public relations department is trying its best to suppress it, it won’t have much effect, because there is such an explosive Shura field in today’s program, and his affairs will definitely be mentioned repeatedly.”

“This is a great opportunity.”

“The revelation of Zhao Mingtao’s relationship has only benefits and no harm. The worse his image gets, the bigger the scandal gets, and the weaker my presence in the news becomes. If he is the bad guy in our relationship, then the marriage fraud will offset that, and my image will improve.”

“Meng Tai, you are so good at manipulating public opinion, you should understand this logic, right?”

Meng Yunda: …

He understood, he really understood. More than just understanding, his scalp tingled just by listening to it.

Although Zhong Xiaoyun’s words were not very clear, there was no need to explain it in detail. We are all insiders in the industry and of course we know what this is. In fact, too many people have used similar means to whitewash themselves in the past.

Taking the cold shoulder is indeed the best solution for most public figures after encountering a scandal. With the popularity of traffic in recent years, many idols and stars choose to take the cold shoulder after a scandal, even if they are scolded by netizens and fans for not taking action, they just stand there and say nothing. Are they brainless and don’t know how to clarify?
of course not.

If it is fake news, the studio and company will naturally send a lawyer’s letter and even produce evidence in seconds. This will not only stabilize the artist’s public image, but also give fans a shot in the arm, allowing fans to charge forward with confidence. Generally speaking, even if there are rumors, the heat will have died down by this time.

But what if these revelations and scandals are true?

Only a fool would be so stubborn, knowing that the information is true and still wanting to clarify it, and would not regret it until Thor’s hammer knocks the person into a pit where he can’t get up. This kind of brain-dead operation is not uncommon –

For example, a few years ago, a male artist was photographed traveling with a married woman. They had a good relationship, which was normal. However, the unlucky husband said during a live broadcast that his wife went to get her hair done. Whose wife goes to another man’s house to get her hair done and stays there all night? There is almost no room for redemption in this matter. Everyone should just play dead and wait for the storm to pass.

As a result, the male artist insisted that he and the two were just brother and sister-in-law and younger brother, and even brought in his sister-in-law’s best friend to testify. Finally, the paparazzi was not happy and exposed the pictures of the two secretly dating when the unlucky husband was not at home. Now, enthusiastic netizens started to dig up the pictures on the spot, and they found out all the secret interactions between the two, their couple outfits, and their game records.

Now? Both have been out of the public eye for a while.

This is the consequence of having a guilty conscience but still pretending to be stubborn.

There are many similar things, such as when tax evasion is discovered, the accountant is blamed, when someone is arrested for soliciting prostitution, a notice is issued to refute the rumor, when someone dies due to playing tricks, the person still cries that there are always villains trying to harm him…

Too many to count.

But in terms of the results, basically all those who were stubborn did not have a good ending. Many of them were beaten to death by the authorities because of their stubbornness. In the end, they were directly put on the blacklist of bad artists and were not allowed to appear in all film and television productions and programs for several years.

Compared with the consequences of this kind of cerebral palsy-like stubbornness, it is much simpler to deal with it coldly.

It’s just a matter of enduring scolding for a while. Just don’t look at your phone or go online. The person involved should just lie down and let the ridicule go on without saying a word. The better ones might even come out and apologize. After the incident is over, they will just be criticized when it is mentioned. For an artist, it’s better to endure it for a while and everything will be fine. If they work hard and have works to their credit, who would bring up the past except the black fans?

Even though Wushuang Film and Television’s public relations department is very strong, the best way to deal with the Zhong Xiaoyun case is to give it the cold shoulder.

As for the matter between Shu Yi and Zhao Mingtao… it’s not that we don’t want to deal with it coldly, but it’s because it’s really beyond the scope of celebrity gossip. If Zhao Mingtao’s face hadn’t been photographed, it wouldn’t have been like this, but he was photographed, and he is the marketing manager of Wushuang Films. If public opinion is not properly guided, it will seriously affect the company’s image, so Shu Yi was arranged to respond and clarify.

In this way, even if he was exposed for being stubborn, it would be Shu Yi who was in trouble, and netizens would only attack Shu Yi. As long as there were enough internet trolls, Zhao Mingtao could still remain invisible in this incident.

If events had continued to develop normally, Zhao Mingtao would have been able to escape unscathed.

But the weird thing about this matter is that there are too many unexpected and uncontrollable factors.

Han Fei, who can obtain a lot of inexplicable evidence, is one; Shu Yi, who is extremely ambitious, is one; and Zhong Xiaoyun in front of him is another.

Meng Yunda remained silent. After sorting out the development of events in his mind, he finally raised his head.

He stared at Zhong Xiaoyun and said:

“Are you planning to expose more scandals about Zhao Mingtao, or about Wushuang Films, or even other people involved, and use this news to overshadow your case, so that you can get away with it and clear yourself from the scandal?”

“Although this operation can be done and there are precedents, but with all due respect, given the size of Wushuang and the professional level of their staff, not only will the revelations be suppressed quickly, but it will also be easy to trace them back to you.”

“The benefits are great, but your risks are greater than the benefits.”

Zhong Xiaoyun has been smiling since he entered the office. Whether it was a smile of goodwill, sarcasm, or a smile with beautiful hope for his own comeback, he was smiling.

But now the smile on his face completely disappeared, becoming gloomy and a little nervous.

He looked at Meng Yunda with a surprised tone:

“Why would Meng Tai think that I just wanted to do this myself?”

“Also, you said that my risk is greater than my benefit, but those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who are wearing shoes. I have already been ruined to this extent, how much worse can it get? If I don’t do this, then my only hope at the moment is probably to wait for Zhao Mingtao to leave the show and continue to please him, and wait for him to give me good resources and a team.”

“I’m unlucky. He’s even more outrageous than me, but he can just sit there and wait for others to clean up his mess and continue to be Mr. Zhao’s young master. I know how many disgusting things he has done, but I can only serve him with a licking face.”

“Why? Obviously, even if I make him unlucky, I can still gain benefits.”

Zhong Xiaoyun smiled again, with a sinister look in his smile:
“With Chuan Nan Tai and Tian Wen, my chances of winning are the same as Han Fei’s. I have doubled my chances.”

“Mengtai, just tell me whether you want to get those things or not.”
