【Who is it? Who is it? Can anyone decode this? Please, my child rarely gets to use a phone, just to see this juicy gossip, thank you!】
【Huh? Another teaser? Is this some kind of public blackmail? Everyone, disperse, disperse. These days, paparazzi are just playing around, they're definitely not going to release any big juicy gossip.】
【Is this some unknown idol being played by you low-level celebrities again? Last time you said some top actress was secretly married and had a child, and what happened in the end? I was all ready to expose you, and you just showed me some nobody internet celebrity. I'm so angry I could laugh.】
【Does anyone not know that the paparazzi from last time were bought off by the person in question? Those damn paparazzi, how can they make so much money? Openly extorting money and nobody cares? It's outrageous.】
【Follow me for a PPT presentation; DM me if you want to hear the juicy gossip.】
【Black Dog: Don't advertise here, they're all scammers, please don't fall for it.】
【Oh, so the paparazzi are getting impatient? Then spill the beans right now!】
【You better show me some gossip soon! If you don't, you're a coward, and I'll unfollow you immediately.】
【Black Dog: Okay, I'll be live streaming at nine o'clock sharp. If you don't watch, you're a coward.】
【What the heck? Are they really going all out this time?】
【Huh? Holy crap, it seems like the paparazzi are really determined to break the news this time. They always dragged their feet before, but this time they actually gave us an hour's notice?】
【Finally, someone who breaks the news without beating around the bush! I've followed. Black Dog, you better be live in an hour on time, don't keep us in suspense, or you'll never make it in the paparazzi world again.】
【Black Dog: Don't worry, I'll definitely leak the information!】

Scene from the Cannes event.
The premiere of "No Bait" is about to begin, but Ding Wanyu, who was originally going to make a cameo appearance as the female lead in "No Bait" and was preparing to go on stage with the rest of the crew, suddenly turned pale after receiving a phone call.
"I'm sorry, I, I might—"
Ding Wanyu was swaying slightly, and Xiao He quickly reached out to support her, his face full of concern: "Sister Ding, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Following Ding Wanyu, Liu Rulan also received a phone call, and her expression instantly turned as dark as if it were about to drip water.
As they moved, the phones of several people around them started ringing one after another.
The expressions of everyone in the "No Bait" crew instantly turned serious.
Everyone had a bad feeling.
"There are paparazzi in China who are going to livestream and reveal some juicy stories."
While arranging for the company's on-duty employees to monitor public opinion, Liu Rulan explained the current situation with a somber expression, "It's highly likely that they're targeting us."
What's infuriating is that the other party started their live stream precisely during their premiere.
If it weren't for their swift notification, the entire crew might not have realized that public opinion in China had spiraled out of control until several hours later, when they came down from the premiere.
After hearing Liu Rulan's words, Xiao He quickly took out his phone and logged into Weibo to check.
Sure enough, Weibo was already buzzing with excitement because of the paparazzi's impending revelations. Xiao He could see netizens enthusiastically discussing the current situation whenever he clicked on a list.
"Top idols and has-been actresses?"
Seeing Liu Rulan's solemn expression, Xiao He quickly made connections in his mind, but unfortunately, the given labels were too broad, and he couldn't possibly attach the corresponding labels to the people he might know.
Xiao He clicked on the legendary black silhouette of his idol again and examined it repeatedly, but still found nothing.
The main problem is that he really doesn't know much about the people on his idol's side.
But from any perspective, this should have nothing to do with him or the other actors in the crew.
However, Xiao He was unaware of this, but some sharp-eyed netizens had already identified the suspect.
【Is this syy?】
【Let's speak Chinese. On the soil of China, you are allowed to use your Chinese name.】
【I also think it looks a lot like syy; this silhouette looks a lot like the promotional poster for his New Year's Eve performance last year.】
【Who is it? Who is it? Can someone decode this for me? I really don't know any idols.】
【Her name is abbreviated as syy. She participated in X TV's New Year's Eve gala last year. She currently has decent popularity and generates a lot of buzz, and she's still an idol... It's so obvious, just search for her yourself.】
【So? Who? Anyway, the news is about to break, would it kill me to just say the name?】
【No, what does this have to do with my son Sun Yuyang? Please don't spread rumors.】
【Spreading rumors is illegal. Please be aware of this and do not smear our family without reason. Thank you.】
【Oh, thanks to the fan for claiming it, otherwise I really wouldn't have gotten any [N O V E L I G H T] juicy gossip for ages.】
【Sun Yuyang's fans, you... well, you've already exposed yourselves, so I won't say anything more. Get some rest tonight, and hopefully you'll still be able to sleep after this revelation.】
【Are these paparazzi having delusions? How much did our rivals spend to buy these smear articles? We've really been set up by capital.】
Thanks to the "proactive claim" by Sun Yuyang's fans, Xiao He now knows who the man is.
Although it's uncertain whether it's true or not, judging from the fact that the comment section has been almost completely attacked and overrun by Sun Yuyang's fans, Xiao He guesses that it's probably true.
"The man must be Sun Yuyang, right?" Xiao He glanced at the person beside him. "And the woman... could she be..."
Ding Wanyu's expression was very unpleasant, and the eyes of the other crew members couldn't help but turn to her.
Since Sun Yuyang has no direct connection with the crew, there's only one truth: the woman who's about to be exposed must have a relationship with the crew—there are only a handful of important actresses in the entire "No Bait" crew.
And the most important one, of course, is Ding Wanyu.
Although it was a cameo role, the character was indeed considered a female lead.
Therefore, there is absolutely no problem with having her attend Cannes as the leading lady and come here with everyone.
I just didn't expect it—
"Sister Ding?"
Xiao He swallowed hard.
This is truly an unexpected person!
After all... Sun Yuyang and Ding Wanyu are more than ten years apart in age!
Of course, this is not meant to be discriminatory, and all romantic choices are respected. It's just that it's hard for people to immediately associate two seemingly unrelated people with this simple term "couple relationship." Moreover, these elements combined make up a high-frequency topic that netizens can easily start arguing about right now—older woman/younger man relationships, idols dating, senior/junior relationships among colleagues in the Chinese entertainment industry... The sky is falling!
Xiao He felt like the sky had fallen, and the crew of "No Bait" also felt like the sky had fallen when they received the news.
Everyone was now experiencing headaches and trembling hands, and they were all stunned and bewildered.
Unfortunately, it was just the right time, and the premiere of "No Bait" was about to begin!
All the audience members were already seated in the theater, and trailers for the premieres of films from the Cannes Film Festival were being played repeatedly on the big screen.
They were completely unable to leave at that moment.
Director Ning took a deep breath and looked at Xiao He: "Xiao He, you go to the front to take charge. I'll take Ding Wanyu back to the hotel."
"No, Director Ning, you must take charge of the work here."
Xiao He immediately shook his head in denial, his expression exceptionally resolute, "We'll take Sister Ding back to the hotel."
The most important person in promoting the premiere of "No Bait" is Director Ning, and only Director Ning can hold the fort.
Xiao He couldn't handle this group of foreign media.
Moreover...
He needs to personally oversee public opinion in China; he doesn't trust anyone else to do it for him now!
This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise "No Bait" will inevitably be implicated!
