Chapter 33
Time flies, time passes.
Rumors about Li Zheng's fake academic qualifications are still spreading on the Internet, but because Li Zheng is just a newcomer and his popularity is too small, there are not many people who pay attention to it, but it is only circulating in a small area, and the two sides of the debate are only Li Zheng's fans and rumor-mongers and some netizens, and they have not attracted the attention of the mainstream media and the general public.
Seeing this, Park Seung-deok originally expected that the rumor-monger would take follow-up actions to expand the influence of the rumor, but seeing that the other party did not seem to have a plan, he activated a backup plan.
On the third day when the rumors began to spread on the Internet, a media outlet used this incident as a guide to discuss the issue of celebrities' fake academic qualifications on the Internet again.
"Recently, I saw a post on the Internet, and the poster broke the news that a male artist surnamed K who had just debuted in order to gain attention and attract fans, falsely claimed that he graduated from Yale University in the United States and was proficient in six foreign languages......
The author can't help but recall the 2007 fake academic degree incident in South Korea.
When the fake academic degree incident occurred that year, famous directors, hosts, architects, and star artists were all involved. Some industry insiders even asserted that if it is thoroughly verified, 80% of people in the Korean literary and art circle may have falsely reported their academic qualifications.
Although it is not necessary to have a high degree of education to work hard in the entertainment industry, some celebrities still like to put gold on their faces, and they are originally at the level of elementary school students or high schools, but they whitewash themselves as masters and doctors, which makes people fall sharply.
……
It seems that if a star wants to become popular, if he doesn't pretend to be ugly, he can only pretend to be a rich second generation, if he doesn't have a rich family background, then he can only fake his academic qualifications, his background is not good, how can he have some gold content, otherwise how to attract fans to be crazy about it? Now except for the date in the newspaper every day is true, everything else can be adulterated, fake singing, fake education, fake romance, fake age, fake height, fake face, fake works...... In the entertainment industry, fakes are rampant, and South Korea's No. 1 counterfeiting base. ”
Because the 2007 fake academic degree incident in the literary and artistic circle caused an uproar in South Korea, therefore, as the media once again discussed the issue of celebrity fake academic qualifications, and because Park Chengde deliberately contributed to the situation behind the scenes, the "artist surnamed K" attracted great attention on the Internet in an instant, and the post that first spread rumors was mentioned many times, as the protagonist of the post, Li Zheng's name was also very popular on the Internet, and it became notorious.
Seeing that there were more and more topics about Lee Zheng on the Internet, Park Seung-deok threw out a plausible official statement at the right time, in which he reconfirmed Lee Jung's academic qualifications while rebuking the rumors. However, the statement that did not provide any evidence did not dispel the doubts of netizens, but instead made more people start to question Li Zheng.
…………
Two days ago, I felt that something was wrong, but after reading this report, I was even more sure of my suspicions. ”
In the room, Choi Sung-jae glanced at Lee Seung Gi, then looked back at the laptop screen, his brows furrowed tightly: "The people I arranged two days ago told me that the other party seemed to be deliberately fighting with them, and there was a feeling that they wanted to spread the rumors on purpose. So I didn't take a follow-up plan, I wanted to see what the other party did, and the other party did have a follow-up. I'm now 90% sure that this report must have been deliberately thrown out by the other party. ”
Looking at Cui Sung-jae's solemn expression, Lee Seung-gi couldn't help but shake his head: "Brother Sung-jae, isn't this a normal thing." iHQ is also a top entertainment company in South Korea, and they don't know how much they have experienced such rumors, so it is naturally impossible not to have any means to deal with them. ”
After a pause, he said: "Actually, this also confirms one thing from the side, Li Zheng's education is indeed not problematic. Otherwise, iHQ would not support him so strongly, and is also ready to use this rumor to make a fuss, wanting to push him to the top in one step.
From this incident, it can also be seen that iHQ company attaches great importance to Li Zheng, I think we had better stop it as soon as possible, otherwise in the end, it is very likely that iHQ company will find us, and then we may face the suppression of a company. ”
Hearing Lee Seung-gi's words, Choi Sung-jae stared at the computer screen for a long time, and finally said with some unwillingness: "Okay, I will immediately arrange for those people to stop hype." This time it's really cheap Li Zheng's guy. ”
…………
"Minister, Gao Baona called me just now, saying that the people who used to spray each other with them a few days ago suddenly fell silent and disappeared one by one. ”
Not long after Choi Sung-jae stopped hype, Park Sun-ho's phone call reached Park Seung-deok.
After hearing this, Park Chengde thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "It seems that the person who spread the rumors behind him is indeed quite awake, and after knowing that we made a move, he was worried that we would find them along the vine, so he immediately shrank." Forget it, don't worry about them, now that the momentum on the Internet has been hyped, in two days, when the momentum goes further, we will throw out that photo and let Junhyuk's momentum reach its peak. ”
"Very well, Minister. Now that the other party is gone, and there are no people to help us spread rumors, what are we going to do next?"
Park Seung-deok said: "Wait a minute, you contact Gao Baona and ask them to go to major websites and forums to post rumors for Junhyuk, by the way, doesn't Gao Baona have a lot of photos of Junhyuk when she was a child, you asked her to post the rumor refutation post, and attached those photos as well, and focused on Junhyuk's academic performance in junior high and high school and his graduation from Yale University in the United States, attracting the attention of more netizens to this matter." ”
"Okay, Minister, I see. ”
…………
With the further hype of iHQ, the doubts about Li Zheng on the Internet became louder and louder, and many media outlets were attracted to the attention one after another and began to report on the incident. With the media reports and the spread of the Internet, Li Zheng's popularity has also increased again, and he has been listened to by more South Korean people.
Just when this turmoil was getting bigger and bigger, and Li Zheng's reputation was getting more and more stinky, Li Zheng was calm and calmly filmed in the crew.
“CUT”
With Director Chen He's shout, today's filming officially ended.
After Li Zheng bent down and thanked the staff around him, he was about to pack up a little and go back to the hotel to ponder his acting skills, when Han Hyo-joo suddenly walked over.
"Jun-hyuk, wait for Chaewon Ernie and so-bin OPPA and I to have dinner together, you can go too. ”
Thinking of Park Chengde's instructions to him before joining the group, Li Zheng groaned slightly, nodded and smiled: "Okay." Shall we wait and leave directly, or shall we go back to the hotel and wash up before we act together?"

PS: After reading the book friend's message, because the number of words in 'the author's words' is limited, I will talk about the issue of God's perspective at the end of this chapter.
After writing a book, I found that reading a book and writing a book are two completely different mentalities towards the characters in the book. When writing a book, you should consider looking at things from the perspective of the characters in the book, so try to avoid God's perspective. But when I read a book, I often forget about these and look at the characters and events in the book from the perspective of God.
As a simple example, for example, the drama "Splendid Legacy", from God's point of view, we all know that it will be a big hit, so some book friends will feel that Lee Seung Ki will be very annoyed if he loses the male lead, but from the perspective of Lee Sheng Gi in the book, he didn't know that "Splendid Legacy" would be popular, in his opinion, this is just an ordinary TV series. Maybe he would regret it when he knew about the fire of "Splendid Legacy" in the future, but he didn't have that idea at the time. He may be angry and regretful, but not as serious as he thinks. With his fame at the time, he wanted to play the leading role, and there should be no shortage of scripts. So when I was writing, I wrote that Lee Seung Gi didn't care too much, but the agent was very annoyed, because the negotiation work was carried out by the agent, and when he was about to succeed, he was cut off, and compared to Lee Sheng Gi, the agent was more angry, so the agent would target Lee Zheng.
Speaking of which, it is another question, from the perspective of the agent in the book, he thinks that Li Zheng is a small newcomer among the many artists under iHQ, and he doesn't know that Li Zheng is valued by the company, so he has no pressure to deal with Li Zheng. But from God's point of view, we all know that Li Zheng is valued by iHQ Company, more precisely, by Park Seungdeok, so the agent dealing with Li Zheng is equivalent to dealing with iHQ Company, which is simply a brain-dead behavior. But the truth is that we who look at things from God's perspective have missed the point and have not looked at things with an objective mindset. We are omniscient and omnipotent, but the characters in the book are not, and they think about problems from different angles than we think about problems, so I hope that when you read books in the future, you can try to deviate from God's perspective, so that there will be less deviation in understanding the characters in the book.
