After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 639 There are already enough fakes in this world

After dealing with these matters, the weather gradually began to improve.

Ye Sanqing put these things aside for the time being and went out to watch again when filming resumed in the afternoon.

Sheng Luoxin is in good condition; it seems... she didn't see those strange Weibo posts.

Everything went very smoothly throughout the afternoon and evening, and the sky was indeed exceptionally clear and sunny after the sandstorm passed.

After filming wrapped, Ye Sanqing sat by the campfire looking at the stars when Sheng Hanyu came over.

"You want to see me if you have something to do?"

“Well, but…” Sheng Hanyu looked around.

“You can go up there,” Ye Sanqing said, pointing to the top of the RV.

"Can we still go up?"

Since this RV is large enough, the roof is designed to be used as a resting platform.

They could actually set up a tent here if they wanted, but for now they brought up some simple folding chairs to sit on.

"It's quite high up there," Ye Sanqing said, looking around. This car is not only wide, but also much taller than other cars. Sitting up there, you can have a panoramic view of the whole place.

"Luckily, I don't have a fear of heights," Sheng Hanyu laughed, then said seriously, "I checked the comments today, and they were all from new accounts. That means there's no trace to investigate."

"This doesn't really prove anything. Nowadays, many people change their accounts every time they switch to a new favorite character. There are even accounts specifically for shipping certain couples."

"Yes, but I found similar cases."

Sheng Hanyu mentioned an incident a few years ago. There were two actors, who were brothers, who started to become popular after playing one or two classic roles.

A similar situation occurred.

Since the two were brothers, they naturally didn't avoid each other's actions. They would often help each other when they were unsteady, straighten each other's clothes, and put their arms around each other's shoulders when walking.

At first, there were some comments about shipping unconventional couples, but no one took it seriously. After all, shipping couples is a personal choice, and generally, as long as it's not brought up in front of the actual celebrities, it's fine most of the time.

Even if they dance, the celebrities usually don't mind.

If you react to something like this, nine times out of ten people will say you're making a mountain out of a molehill, and most of them are just fans with no ill intentions. You can just be polite to them.

So at the time, no one realized the seriousness of the matter.

But somehow, things escalated, and all sorts of personal photos were dug up, including pictures of them sleeping in the same bed at night.

Then suddenly someone jumped out and said that it was one of his ex-girlfriends, and wrote a long, emotional, and tearful essay, implying that the two had a relationship that went beyond brotherhood.

There's a reason for everything. They slept together because there weren't enough rest areas for filming, so they just squeezed in.

The ex-girlfriend was later exposed as having caused the problem herself, but it's easy to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to refute them.

Moreover, the essay clearly had expert guidance, so even if a lawsuit were filed, no fault could be found. Because it was half true and half false, it seemed very credible at first glance, and many people believed this story.

The main problem is that there were too many fanfiction posts about the pairings beforehand, which led to preconceived notions. This is relatively clear-headed; those who aren't might confuse fanfiction with reality.

Then the two of them retired from the entertainment industry.

After all, this poses a huge risk to investors.

Nobody wants to use actors with negative rumors. When everyone's abilities are roughly equal, it's definitely easier to use actors with clean reputations.

That's just how things are; sometimes, no matter how wronged you are, there's nowhere to refute it.

These two individuals have no special background and are only just beginning to rise in popularity; no one wants to protect them in the event of serious trouble.

"What a vicious scheme."

Ye Sanqing shook his head after hearing this.

This scheme takes more than six months to a year from preparation to its complete detonation, which shows that the planner has a long-term vision.

"I only found similar cases, and I don't know if it was the work of the same person or the same force."

Sheng Hanyu said, "But the feeling is very similar."

"But the next step will definitely be different. Once the groundwork is laid for using CP (couple) rhetoric to implant ideas in others' minds, someone will inevitably come out and complain. But..."

Ye Sanqing was also thinking. She usually wouldn't use such a scheme. She would find the other party's weaknesses and attack them directly, or exchange benefits. This was very different from fabricating facts.

"Well, of course my mom would never do such a thing. So I'm also very curious about what angle they could possibly find to attack me. It's only because my dad has a good reputation now, otherwise even more vicious comments would have come out."

Sheng Hanyu gave a wry smile, "You know, sometimes when someone is praised as a heartthrob, what they really mean is 'anyone will do.'"

"I've read these kinds of short essays too. The key to being sarcastic is to maintain the balance between sarcasm and insincerity; if you go too far, it becomes obscene and vulgar, and reading too many of them just makes you wonder if the author has delusions. But why should we try to synchronize our thinking with that of people living in the sewers?"

“You’re right, so this is roughly what I’m thinking about next. I won’t try to avoid suspicion; let them say what they want. The only thing I need to be careful about is my dad’s mental state.”

"Aren't you kidding me? This world isn't ruled by them."

Ye Sanqing knew the truth that taking a step back would only lead to further setbacks.

If you make any concessions, the other party will only take advantage of you and show no consideration or understanding whatsoever.

If something really serious happens, the other party can just casually say, "Who told you to be so fragile?" as if nothing happened.

There are already too many hypocrites in this world, and there are quite a few people without any sense of morality.

"Yes, does that mean they think showing skin is indecent and therefore you have to wear a black robe? That's the point."

"Since you can't bring yourself to target those around you..."

"The next step will definitely be to fabricate facts, based on the case I just mentioned. Since they can't step out from the female perspective and pretend to be victims, they'll probably create rumors from the male perspective."

"We've discussed this before, but it probably won't be very effective."

"I didn't ask him today, I was afraid it would affect his filming..."

Sheng Hanyu glanced at his own RV from afar and said, "Although he didn't have much romantic experience before my mother, it's hard to guarantee that he didn't leave any video or photographic records from over twenty years ago that could lead to misunderstandings."

"Even if it were true, so what? I'm not doubting you. I'm just speaking from the heart. How can life be smooth sailing every step of the way?"

"That's not a dark history, it's the path we came from, right? Haha. But he really doesn't have that kind of situation."

"Are you thinking the wrong thing? Is it possible that they'd target you?"
