Chapter 1649: Chapter 817: Reversal

The name Hugh Redman, together with Zhou Yun and Sedar, appeared on the hot search and trending lists of major social media platforms.

Media outlets that had previously reported negatively on Hugh Redman were also condemned and criticized by many in their comment sections.

This situation was something Hugh Redman hadn’t anticipated at all, which also surprised his management company.

Initially, they were all prepared to swallow this incident as a dumb loss.

All of this was thanks to the conversation between Zhou Yun and Sedar.

Hugh Redman publicly thanked the two on his social media platform.

The official account of "Killing Song" also released a video of Hugh Redman tearing up while reading his comment section.

This video resonated with many people and evoked sympathy for Hugh Redman.

Before this, Hugh Redman had continuously suffered from attacks and criticism online, even experiencing cyberbullying.

The most absurd thing was that Variety magazine actually interviewed Song Chi, who was far away in China — Zhou Yun’s boyfriend, asking for his opinion on the matter.

Song Chi was taken aback and asked, "What opinion could I have on this kind of matter? Of course, I support it. Xiao Yun has always been a brave and righteous person, which is one of the qualities that strongly attracts me to her. I deeply admire her for persistently going against the mainstream voice in pursuit of the truth."

Variety asked, "However, with Zhou Yun supporting another man so strongly, don’t you have any other thoughts about it? I heard that they were quite close during the shooting of ’Killing Song,’ often going out to eat and drink together. Don’t you Chinese particularly dislike your girlfriends being close to other men?"

It was only when Song Chi heard this that he realized Variety was trying to stir up trouble.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he hung up the phone and then asked Wu Chengbao to contact a friendly media outlet to issue a public response: "Earlier, Variety magazine contacted me, asking me a very provocative question. I don’t want to answer a question filled with malice and certainly don’t want to provide such media with a highlight moment. Naturally, to avoid being accused of hanging up angrily without answering the question, I will respond publicly here. Regarding what Xiao Yun did for Hugh Redman, I am genuinely proud and proud of her. I am also very happy that she can be good friends with Hugh Redman. Friends should trust, support, and be loyal to each other. I can’t wait for Xiao Yun to introduce me to such a friend whom she thinks is worth clarifying for time and again."

Song Chi’s response was essentially a public slap in the face to Variety.

Suddenly, in the mainstream media sector, everyone was a bit stunned.

Those familiar with Variety were all calling to ask how they managed to offend Song Chi.

As always, Song Chi might not be very famous among the general public in the United States, but as one of China’s top male actors, these professional media workers are well aware of Song Chi’s skills and abilities.

Variety was also furious, but they were in the wrong from the start.

People who didn’t understand Song Chi’s background were eagerly watching, thinking this audacious kid dared to challenge Variety directly and would suffer later on.

But what happened next left their jaws dropping.

Variety actually issued a statement similar to an apology, stating that there was a little misunderstanding during communication and hoped Song Chi wouldn’t mind.

At that moment, many suddenly remembered that this was the person mentioned during the discussion between Zhou Yun and Sedar.

Sedar’s next movie, which is set to be filmed in China, is produced by Song Chi’s company.

...

On the filming set of "Killing Song," Nakajima Hoto asked Zhou Yun, "Has the conflict between Song Chi and Variety magazine been resolved?"

Zhou Yun said, "Not at all. Variety just issued that reply but has not contacted him privately."

Zhou Yun was also following this matter.

Nakajima Hoto was a little worried and said, "Variety is a very influential magazine. Won’t this conflict affect your husband?"

Zhou Yun continued shaking her head, saying, "It won’t affect him. He never planned to develop in Hollywood anyway. No matter how influential Variety magazine is, it can’t reach China. Besides, he’s upright and honest, so there’s nothing to worry about."
