Chapter 184 Slander
Everyone is having fun and happy on this side, but the situation is completely opposite on the other side.
Jonah looked through some comments about Mo Dao Zu Shi on his phone. They were all praising the lead actor's acting skills, and even more praising the director.
Jonah felt a little upset. What a coincidence that his new drama was released earlier than that of Mo Dao Zu Shi, with only a difference of a few episodes.
Originally, before Master Mo Dao appeared online, the ratings of his new drama were quite good. Unexpectedly, as soon as Master Mo Dao appeared, the ratings of his new drama dropped suddenly.
Jonah couldn't help but feel that Chen Yimin was against him. If it weren't for the appearance of Mo Dao Zu Shi, his drama would have been very popular.
What’s even more infuriating is that some people compared their own dramas with Mo Dao Zu Shi, saying that their dramas were poorly made and that they simply could not be compared with Chen Yimin.
So the crew has been in a low mood these days. Everyone is afraid of offending Jonah and getting scolded.
Jonah was thinking every day about how to suppress Chen Yimin's new drama "The Ink Blade Master" so that his new drama could become popular, but it was in vain after thinking for a long time.
When Jonah was thinking that day, a man suddenly came in. Jonah remembered him. He was the second male lead in his new drama.
"Director, don't you want to suppress Master Mo Dao? I have a way." Li Ning said straight to the point.
Jonah was already feeling annoyed, and when he saw Li Ning come in, he had no intention of paying any attention to him. He didn't expect Li Ning to say something like this.
Jonah immediately became interested, sat up straight and asked, "What do you want from me?"
Jonah was not a fool. He knew that Li Ning must have come to him for something. Although he wanted to suppress Chen Yimin, he also knew how to keep his distance.
"The director is really a straightforward person. I don't ask for much. I just want to be the male lead in the next drama. How about that?" When Li Ning saw Jonah asking him, he immediately stated his request. He was not stupid.
Jonah thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I promise you. What is your solution?"
Li Ning said: "You just need to spread the news."
"What news? Can one piece of news defeat them?" Jonah was a little unconvinced .
"Of course one piece of news won't work, but public opinion can defeat them. I guess director, you should know what to do." Li Ning said, looking at Jonah.
Jonah laughed when he heard this. He was so angry that he had forgotten such a simple method. And thinking about the previous incident, Jonah suddenly paid attention to it.
He waved at Li Ning, indicating that he could go out, and Li Ning opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
Jonah immediately said, "Don't worry, I won't forget what I promised you. After this is done, you will be the male lead in the next drama."
After hearing this, Li Ning felt relieved. He closed the door and went out with a smile on his face. People outside were very surprised that Li Ning did not get scolded by the director and came out happily.
Jonah in the drama quickly bought an account and posted on Weibo, saying that Chen Yimin's Mo Dao Zu Shi was copied from someone else's drama.
This post seems to be nonsensical and has no evidence at all, but everyone believed it and felt as if what this person said was true and that Mo Dao Zu Shi was plagiarizing.
For a while, rumors spread all over the Internet, all of which were scolding Chen Yimin, accusing him of plagiarizing other people's dramas and saying disgusting things.
All we can say is that the drama was so popular at that time and Chen Yimin received so much praise and admiration, and now he is facing so much criticism, even the leading actor of the drama has been insulted.
This is how it is on the Internet. A nonsensical statement can always be believed by some people, and then spread wildly by some people as if it is the fact.
On the other side, Jonah walked out with a happy face, and the crew members were all in disbelief. The director was obviously very angry before, so why did he suddenly...
But after a while everyone knew the answer, because Chen Yimin's new drama was said to be copied, and then the new drama directed by his own director became hotly discussed again.
In addition, some people compared their own director's drama with Chen Yimin's Mo Dao Zu Shi, saying that their own director was more dedicated, even though they had previously said that their own director was too bad.
When one side is happy, the other side must be sad. Chen Yimin looked at some comments online, including some insults against him, but he was not upset.
He has gotten used to it. This is how the entertainment industry is. Once a person becomes famous, all kinds of things will always come to him. Once you become famous, many people will dislike you and then use all kinds of means to deal with you.
Although Chen Yimin didn't care about this matter, Wang Bo was different. He was a very sincere person and was actually happy for Chen Yimin.
But I didn't expect it to turn out like this in just a few days. Everything was fine a few days ago, but today the situation suddenly changed and everyone was scolding them.
Some people also scolded Chen Yimin as a profiteer, but Wang Bo couldn't stand this. The predecessors were obviously so good, and they didn't copy others at all.
I don't know why a post suddenly appeared saying that they copied someone else. I don't know how that person knew about it.
Moreover, that person only said that their Mo Dao Zu Shi was copied from others, and people on the Internet believed it.
I used to praise their drama, but now I'm criticizing them for copying someone else's. There's not even a little bit of evidence, and they're taking a one-sided view.
These people on the Internet really have no discernment at all. They just believe what others say and then turn around and scold them.
However, Wang Bo still called Chen Yimin as soon as possible, and sure enough, the phone was picked up after it rang for a while.
"Senior, have you seen the comments online?" Wang Bo asked angrily.
"Yeah, I saw it." Chen Yimin was still as calm as ever, not looking angry at all, as if he was not the one being scolded.
"Senior, why are you still so calm?" Wang Bo was a little confused. He didn't expect Chen Yimin to be so calm and not angry at all.
"What's the use of getting angry? It's still the same. Instead of getting angry, you might as well find a way to solve it." Chen Yimin said lightly.
After listening to Chen Yimin's words, Wang Bo felt that there was some truth in them, so he was not so angry anymore. He chatted with Chen Yimin for a while and then hung up.
This is what Wang Bo said when he was hung up. He told Chen Yimin that he would find a way to solve the problem. Chen Yimin said no, but Wang Bo still insisted. Chen Yimin did not try to persuade him and just followed Wang Bo.
