TPH Chapter 17.1

The Protagonist’s Halo [Arc 1] Chapter 17.1: Entertainment Circle Vase (22)

“What kind of vision does Ji Yanhuai have? In terms of looks and acting skills, how can Pei Yiren compare to Su Man?”

“Ji Yanhuai’s fans were heartbroken. They tried their best to make Ji Yanhuai and Su Man break up, but in the end he found someone even worse.”

“The two have broken up now and there is no relationship. Please don’t bring my family Manman into this.”

…

#Ji Yanhuai scandal# really surprised many people.

Despite Tianhuang’s powerful and strong strength, it used emergency public relations to remove the hot searches and control public opinion.

But what kind of people are today’s netizens? They can be called modern Sherlock Holmes. When they look for evidence and dig deep into people, it’s like they have an eight-fold telescope. They quickly uncover all kinds of clues and provide solid evidence.

For example, those photos are not composited. Even if the suspected intimate photos at the celebration party were whitewashed by fans as ordinary chats among friends, the behind-the-scenes photos of the crew were discovered by netizens with sharp eyes. From the start to the end of the filming, Pei Yiren often appeared next to Ji Yanhuai. Fans wanted to explain that contact was inevitable during the filming, but don’t forget that the real girlfriend is still in the crew. It is impossible that they broke up before the filming.

According to netizens’ speculation, Su Man and Ji Yanhuai broke up during the filming.

After a deeper look, we can see that Ji Yanhuai was really indifferent and cold towards Su Man, who was his girlfriend at the time. If it was before, his fans would be overjoyed, or they could explain it as their idol being just an introverted person. But now, it seems that he doesn’t care about his girlfriend, but supports and cares for a new actor, and even cooperates with the script.

This further confirmed the fact that Ji Yanhuai was a scumbag.

Many people were disappointed with Ji Yanhuai and stopped being his fans, which caused a second turmoil in Ji Yanhuai’s fan club.

Even some of Ji Yanhuai’s fans couldn’t accept it. They supported Ji Yanhuai’s breakup because they felt that Su Man was not worthy of Ji Yanhuai, but that didn’t mean they liked to see Ji Yanhuai cheating during the relationship, and the object was an unknown little artist.

They might be tolerant of Ji Yanhuai, but they were not polite to Pei Yiren.

Pei Yiren’s inside information was also turned upside down. Although due to the influence of the system, others would not notice the changes in her appearance and suspect plastic surgery, but the background and qualifications that were revealed still made Ji Yanhuai’s fans, who were very picky, look down on her.

Especially now that she has caused Ji Yanhuai to be labeled as a ‘scumbag’.

At this time, some netizens dug out the fact that Pei Yiren claimed to be a fan of Ji Yanhuai from some audition recording videos released by the crew.

The comments below started to mock him, saying, “To be a fan to the point of pushing out the idol’s official girlfriend is really amazing.”

“As fans, some can only work hard and stay up late to vote and boost sales, while others are already filming with their idols and are still reviewing the script. Do you accept this?”

“Ji Yanhuai’s fans should thank Pei Yiren. After all, she fulfilled their long-cherished wish of breaking up the two of them.”

Ji Yanhuai’s fans were collectively furious. What kind of fans are they? Have they been certified? They didn’t make statistics for the male god’s sales, box office, and ratings, they didn’t repost, comment, or like the male god’s Weibo, Instagram, or Twitter, they didn’t join his fan club or fan website, they didn’t do anything, but they said they were Ji Yanhuai’s fans, and they used this to gain the male god’s favor, and they approached Ji Yanhuai in various ways. They were clearly scheming bitches.

Manager Zhou Zhuo also hated Pei Yiren at this moment. Even Su Man, who had previously “sucked blood” from Ji Yanhuai, was ranked behind her, because he knew that if this crisis was not handled properly, it would likely cause Ji Yanhuai’s image to suffer serious damage.

As the youngest triple-Award winner in the country, Ji Yanhuai was indeed hailed as a god at an early stage, but there were also many people who wanted to see him fall from the altar, and even some people within Tianhuang might be gloating over his misfortune.

Asking Su Man to clarify and explain for Ji Yanhuai, the agent Zhou Zhuo was not joking. With her endorsement, at least Ji Yanhuai’s reputation as a scumbag can be cleared and public opinion can be calmed. As for the rest, it can be easily dealt with.

After his persuasion, Ji Yanhuai also agreed.

But the embarrassing thing was that they couldn’t contact Su Man, and finally they had to use other channels to get the phone number of Su Man’s new agent from the entertainment company.

As soon as Bu Yu knew about the online public opinion, she was worried that her own artist would be implicated, so she rushed over immediately, thinking that no matter whether the situation was good or bad for Su Man, they should be prepared first. She also anticipated that Tianhuang and Ji Yanhuai might come to find Su Man. If she were Ji Yanhuai’s agent, she would choose to do the same, which would be the simplest and fastest way to calm the crisis.

But her current identity is Su Man’s agent, so Su Man’s interests are the most important.

Xiao Han had been enjoying scrolling through Weibo the whole morning. In the original plot, she fell into lows because of her poor acting skills and the crew’s revelations about her being extremely negative. But now, it was Ji Yanhuai and Pei Yiren who were bombarded with revelations.

In fact, it is not surprising. Since she traveled through time, many things have changed. Pei Yiren did not develop as smoothly as in the plot. She was not favored by the director. Ji Yanhuai was willing to use his resources to pave the way for her and became popular. Her methods were not so handy, and she even acted too eager. Obviously, although Pei Yiren had the golden finger of the star development system, she was not the kind of person who could tolerate being cautious.

The wind leaves a sound, the wild geese leave a trace, let alone a public figure like a celebrity. Pei Yiren thought that no one would find out about the work she had done and the lies she had told, but it turned out that they could not withstand being exposed.

If this is the case, and Ji Yanhuai and Pei Yiren can still be together, then Xiao Han will really believe that they are destined to be together.

As for the relationship between the male and female protagonists, Xiao Han just watched from the sidelines and never thought of getting involved.

Manager Bu Yu said, “Actually, I don’t agree with you helping Ji Yanhuai clarify the matter. This is equivalent to you sharing the pressure of public opinion for him. You will at least be at the center of public opinion for a while. The outside world will continue to discuss and speculate about the relationship between the three of you, and even bring up a love triangle. Your image and reputation are good now, so there is really no need to wade into this muddy water.”

“But… the price offered by Tianhuang is also very generous.” Agent Bu Yu would not hide the content of the conversation with Tianhuang from Su Man.

Xiao Han raised an eyebrow, “How generous?”

“The heroine of a big-budget movie produced by Tianhuang Company with an investment of at least 600 million yuan. The hero is Ji Yanhuai.”

Ji Yanhuai’s agent seemed to know that they might refuse, so when they first started talking, he gave Su Man conditions to get her to cooperate with them.

When the agent Bu Yu heard this condition, she couldn’t help but be moved. Although Youyi is financially strong, it is a new company after all. Its foundation and connections in the entertainment industry are not as good as the three giants. Some good resources still need to be fought for. If Su Man can play the leading role in this big production, her status may be able to impact the top of the industry.

Bu Yu took a deep breath and said seriously, “Of course I respect your personal wishes. Mr. Shen also said so.”

Tianhuang contacted Bu Yu to discuss the terms, and Bu Yu would not fail to tell Mr. Shen. It was just a matter of making a phone call.

Xiao Han chuckled and said, “Thank Mr. Shen for me.”

No matter what, she still had a good impression of the company’s attitude.

Tianhuang Company,

Agent Zhou Zhuo didn’t expect that he was rejected even though he had offered such a generous price. “Don’t be greedy. Be careful not to overeat.”

He believed that Su Man and her agent were trying to take advantage of the situation and demand more benefits.

Bu Yu frowned on the other end of the phone. She had heard that Ji Yanhuai’s agent was very strong and difficult to deal with. But she didn’t expect that the other party would not only reject her, but also threaten her. However, she was not afraid. “Our Su Man has no obligation to clarify for Ji Yanhuai, and she doesn’t want to get involved in these things that have nothing to do with her.”

It was revealed that Ji Yanhuai was in a close relationship with Pei Yiren, the second female lead in the crew. Su Man had already broken up with him, so why did she still want to get involved in her ex-boyfriend’s rumored romance?

Zhou Zhuo was so mercilessly shocked by Su Man’s new agent that he almost burst into anger.

Su Man, who used to be timid and didn’t dare to say a word in front of him, has undergone earth-shaking changes, with a new status, a new company and a new agent. Even if he is the agent of a movie star, she will still confront him.

But now he still has to ask for help. Even though he offered Su Man generous conditions, the price he paid to settle this incident with the company was much lower. Zhou Zhuo suppressed his anger and wanted to say something else, but he heard Ji Yanhuai suddenly say, “I want to talk to Su Man.”

“Ji Yanhuai wants to persuade me?” Xiao Han did not refuse, but she was not going to waste her energy to go meet Ji Yanhuai, so she started a video call.

Although Ji Yanhuai was still handsome and bright, with a stern temperament, there was also a hint of melancholy between his eyebrows. It seemed that this incident had indeed had a significant impact on him.

In contrast, Su Man has been living a very comfortable life these past few months, with black hair, red lips, fair skin, and a gorgeous and charming appearance.

Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin. If Su Man only had good looks in the past, now she has vitality and grace, which is a frank expression.

This beauty has absolute appeal, but this beauty itself does not take the initiative to please people.

It seems to be the same in the play, and it is easy to control the role for a long time.

Ji Yanhuai was slightly stunned, but quickly got to the point and said straight to the point, “Pei Yiren and I are not what you think.”

Ji Yanhuai believed that he only had some affection for Pei Yiren and had not crossed any boundaries.

“You were the one who proposed the breakup.” Ji Yanhuai didn’t think he was shirking responsibility, he was just stating the facts.

Xiao Han rested her chin on the back of her left hand, looking slightly lazy. She neither nodded nor denied, but rather made no comment.

Seeing her attitude, Ji Yanhuai frowned slightly, “As long as this matter is over, I can do whatever you ask within my ability.”
