Chapter 1627: Chapter 809: The World’s Attention (15,000-Word Update!)

Zhou Lan wanted to know more information, so she directly retorted in a disbelieving tone, "A young man in his early twenties, who could he have offended?"

"I can’t disclose that, but I seriously tell you, this person is someone even Hugh Redman cannot afford to offend, and neither can Zhou Yun. If she keeps speaking for Hugh Redman, she might provoke that person to attack Zhou Yun as well."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Lan realized that she really couldn’t let Zhou Yun continue like this.

Zhou Lan thought for a moment and sent Zhou Yun a long message outlining the information revealed to her by people on Mowesen’s side.

Zhou Yun replied: Sister Lan, I’m currently with the actors of "Killing Song," we’ll talk later.

Zhou Lan: Okay, but for now, stop arguing with people online.

Zhou Yun: Okay, I know, I haven’t been arguing with them continuously.

The last sentence revealed a hint of grievance.

...

Actually, if possible, Zhou Lan didn’t want to stop Zhou Yun from doing this.

To be honest, Zhou Yun’s actions are indeed causing trouble for everyone’s work. But, is Zhou Yun deliberately causing a fuss? She is already the least troublesome kind of actress. She is a living person, with her own ideas and attitude, and opinions. If she remains indifferent and doesn’t even care about Hugh Redman’s predicament, that would be truly cold-blooded. Would the people in the team still like her and support her wholeheartedly?

Zhou Lan is well aware that most people in this studio are here not only for the high salary and benefits but more importantly for Zhou Yun’s personal charm.

In a celebrity’s team, if there’s an issue with the artist itself and everything is just packaging, then the staff would only feel disillusioned, treating the job merely as a means to earn money.

However, work also requires a sense of accomplishment and pride.

Everyone is more or less looking for the value and meaning in their work.

Most of the work in the studio revolves around the artist.

If the artist has no value, how can they make the staff feel that their work is valuable?

Zhou Lan actually always wants to protect that bit of "genuine emotions" in Zhou Yun.

Many teams try to prevent this side of the artist from being exposed to the public.

Everyone prefers to see celebrities perfect and flawless in the public eye.

But Zhou Lan feels that such artists, although theoretically less likely to attract negativity, also lose that trait which truly touches people’s hearts.

Zhou Lan always believes that an artist, in the end, competes either through their work or their character.

Time reveals one’s true nature.

The key is, if you’re not a genuine person, how can others see your true nature over time?

However, one must learn to seek benefit and avoid harm.

Mowesen has already made it clear that in Hugh Redman’s issue, someone is specifically targeting him and dealing unfairly with him. Zhou Yun has no foundation in Hollywood; at best, some people know and admire her. This little momentum can easily be shattered with a gentle breeze. If something truly happens, perhaps no one will step up to defend her.

Zhou Lan doesn’t want Zhou Yun to be affected—of course, she knows Zhou Yun very well, and in this matter, Zhou Yun will never change her stance. All Zhou Lan can do is try to make Zhou Yun say and do as little as possible.

Zhou Lan knows that she is being quite pragmatic in doing so, but she must.

If she had to choose between Zhou Yun and Hugh Redman, she would choose to sacrifice Hugh Redman without hesitation.

...

On set.

Zhang Cong walked through the crowd, coming to Song Chi who was resting in the corner.

"Brother Chi, here’s the coffee you wanted," he said.

Song Chi took the coffee.

"Brother Chi, Sister Xiao Yun was arguing with a few people online, and now some are ganging up on her," Zhang Cong said.

Song Chi was a bit surprised and asked, "What’s going on?"

Zhang Cong briefly explained the situation to Song Chi.

Song Chi said, "Good for her! That’s how you should deal with these people."

Zhang Cong chuckled helplessly and said, "I’m just worried. Sister Xiao Yun doesn’t have many fans on foreign platforms, and they’re cyberbullying her. Online bullying abroad can be quite severe."

Song Chi laughed, "Is your Sister Xiao Yun the type to get cyberbullied? She doesn’t care about those voices at all. But she’s currently on set in Australia; she should have wrapped up filming today. I’ll give her a call."
