Chapter 203 Finishing
"This news is now trending on social media, and the comments section is full of people cursing you."
Jiang Songchu opened the comments section and, as expected, saw a barrage of insults.
Fans of Wu Qinghuai, who plays the male lead Yan Congchou, were particularly excited.
They all accused Jiang Songchu of slowing down the production schedule and affecting Wu Qinghuai's schedule, with some even directly calling her "pretentious" and "acting like a diva."
"Why are Wu Qinghuai's fans so excited?" Jiang Songchu frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Aman explained, "Wu Qinghuai's schedule was already very tight. Some time ago, because you had to study and because of your foot injury, the crew did adjust the filming schedule, which delayed things a bit."
“His fans are already very sensitive to his work schedule, and now that they see this kind of news, they will naturally feel that you are dragging him down.”
Jiang Songchu remained silent for a moment, her heart filled with complex emotions.
She knew that the production team adjusted the filming schedule out of consideration for her injury, not because she had deliberately requested it.
But now, things have been twisted into this.
"We need to find a way to clarify this."
Jiang Songchu calmed down and looked up at Aman.
"We cannot allow this kind of false news to continue to fester."
Aman nodded: "I have contacted the public relations team, and they will issue a statement as soon as possible."
"However... now that public opinion has taken hold, it probably won't be so easy to completely quell it."
Jiang Songchu took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
She knew that the more flustered she was at this time, the easier it would be for others to find fault with her.
She must remain calm in order to find the best way to respond.
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door of the dressing room.
Jiang Songchu looked up and saw Wu Qinghuai standing at the door with a hint of apology on his face.
"Songchu, may I come in?"
Wu Qinghuai's voice was gentle, and his eyes showed a hint of concern.
Jiang Songchu nodded: "Of course, please come in."
Wu Qinghuai walked in, glanced at Aman, then looked at Jiang Songchu and said in a sincere tone.
"I just saw that news, I'm really sorry."
"My fans may have gone a bit too far and caused you trouble."
Jiang Songchu shook his head and forced a smile.
"It's not your fault, we can understand the fans' feelings."
"But... there is indeed some misunderstanding about this matter."
Wu Qinghuai nodded: "I know. I have already had my team prepare a statement, which will be released as soon as possible to clarify this matter."
"We are a team, and we cannot let such false news affect our cooperation."
Jiang Songchu was somewhat surprised, not expecting Wu Qinghuai to take the initiative to stand up and clarify things for her.
She felt a slight warmth in her heart, and her tone softened considerably.
"Thank you. I will handle this with my team and make sure it doesn't affect the production schedule."
Wu Qinghuai smiled, his tone becoming more relaxed.
"That's good. By the way, we need to cooperate well in today's scenes and try to get it in one take, so that those onlookers can see that we are not so easily defeated."
Jiang Songchu smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's work hard together."
After Wu Qinghuai left, Jiang Songchu felt a little relieved.
She knew this wouldn't be easy to resolve, but at least she wasn't fighting alone.
The lights on set came on again, and Jiang Songchu stood in front of the camera, her eyes firm and composed.
At this moment, all she can do is respond to all the doubts with her best performance.
Time flies, and it's already late February.
The chill of winter is gradually fading, and the breath of spring is quietly arriving.
As filming for "Red Clouds and Glass" draws to a close, the atmosphere on set is becoming increasingly relaxed.
Various news items continue to trend on social media every day, but the negative public opinion about Jiang Songchu being "arrogant" and "pretentious" has gradually subsided thanks to the joint clarification from Wu Qinghuai's side and the production team.
Hongtian Entertainment also took swift action, suing the paparazzi who deliberately distorted the facts.
Under legal pressure, the paparazzi quickly backed down.
He not only deleted the post, but also pinned a long apology letter to the top of his Weibo account, admitting that he deliberately distorted the facts to attract attention, and publicly apologized to Jiang Songchu and the production team.
Although the matter seemed to have been resolved satisfactorily, Jiang Songchu and Chen Yun both knew the truth in their hearts.
This paparazzi is just a scapegoat; the real manipulator of public opinion remains hidden in the shadows.
"This matter will not end here."
Jiang Songchu said this to Chen Yun after finishing work one day.
Her tone was calm, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Chen Yun nodded and sighed.
“I know. But for now, we can only hold back and wait for them to make a mistake.”
Jiang Songchu didn't say anything more, but simply clenched her fist slightly.
She knew she had to be extra careful to protect herself in the days to come.
Finally, the day arrived when filming for "Red Clouds and Glass" wrapped up.
The entire crew was immersed in a joyful atmosphere.
The set was still lavish, but the staff all had relaxed smiles on their faces.
Director Lin specially arranged for someone to order a super large cake, which was three layers high.
The words "Congratulations on the completion of filming of 'Red Clouds and Glass'" were written in large characters in cream on top, and it was decorated with delicate sugar flowers and chocolate decorations around it.
Come on, everyone, come over here!
Director Lin stood beside the cake, holding a cake knife in his hand, his face full of smiles.
"Today is the day we wrap up filming for 'Red Cloud General'. Thank you all for your hard work over the past few months!"
"Let's take a group photo together, and then cut the cake to celebrate!"
The staff and actors gathered around, and Jiang Songchu and Wu Qinghuai, as the male and female leads, naturally stood in the center.
Jiang Songchu was wearing a simple white sweater, her long hair casually draped over her shoulders, and a faint smile on her face.
Wu Qinghuai, wearing a black jacket, stood beside her with a sunny and warm smile.
"Come on, everyone shout together—cheese!"
The photographer held up his camera and shouted.
"eggplant!"
Everyone shouted in unison, their faces beaming with smiles.
The camera clicked, capturing this beautiful moment.
After taking the group photo, Director Lin personally cut the first piece of cake and handed it to Jiang Songchu.
"Songchu, you've worked hard these past few days. Your performance was outstanding, and I look forward to working with you again next time."
Jiang Songchu accepted the cake and smiled slightly: "Thank you, Director Lin. I'm also looking forward to it."
Then, Director Lin distributed the cake to the other actors and staff.
Everyone ate cake and chatted about fun things that happened during filming, filling the set with laughter.
"Songchu, come on, let's take a picture together!"
Wu Qinghuai, holding his phone, walked to Jiang Songchu's side and said with a smile.
