Chapter 1512 1614. A stone stirs up a thousand waves
Editor Xiao tapped the desktop subconsciously. This was his habit when thinking. But today, his tapping frequency seemed a little fast, especially as time went by, the tapping sound became more and more frequent.
He was waiting, but he didn't have much time to wait.
Editor Xiao now had two pieces of information in his hand, one of which was the information about Nie Wei and Shu Chang brought back by Lu Cheng, and the other was the information about another celebrity couple.
This was also the reason why he dared to "play" with netizens like this.
In fact, every entertainment media like this newspaper has more or less some stored information in their hands. Most of these stored information are not worth much if they are exposed. Many times, the artists even have to pay the media to expose their own information.
Of course, this kind of stored information also has another function, which is to cover up.
For the "dog walking" incident like today, if Fanxing really paid the newspaper for public relations, then as long as the price was negotiated, Nie Wei's information would naturally not be exposed, but netizens also need to be perfunctory, so what to do? Naturally, they would use these specious information on hand to cover up.
He didn't care whether netizens would be disappointed or not, but at least he had to give the public an explanation.
"It seems that there will be no public relations." Editor-in-Chief Xiao looked at the clock on the wall, finally made up his mind, and picked up the phone: "Xiao Lu, upload it."
Lu Cheng had been waiting for this call. After hearing the editor-in-chief's instructions, he immediately clicked upload and uploaded his carefully written report to the newspaper's public account.
Many netizens were tired of waiting at this time. The real-time data of the newspaper's social account even rebounded slightly during this period. Of course, this growth was only temporary in the eyes of industry insiders, and was caused by netizens constantly refreshing the webpage because of their irritability.
If a piece of information cannot be produced as soon as possible, then how irritable the netizens are now, it will embarrass the newspaper.
"It's been five minutes since the time agreed by the newspaper, why hasn't the news come yet!?"
"I feel like we've all been fooled by the newspaper!"
"Walking the dog, how come they're fooling us like this!"
Many netizens who felt they were fooled left angry messages, but after they finished leaving messages, they found that the official account suddenly had a new message, and everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.
"Shu Chang's belly is bulging, it seems she's pregnant, Nie Wei is accompanying her attentively."
Just seeing the title, netizens went crazy.
"Woc, is this true or not?"
"Shu Chang is pregnant? Nie Wei is going to be a father?"
"Oh oh oh! Congratulations!"
"Don't get excited yet, this newspaper just took two photos and said that others are pregnant, anyway, you can see it after reading the article."
Suddenly a comment caught the eyes of the excited netizens, and everyone suddenly sobered up a lot.
As expected, everyone found out the trick after reading the text.
The reporter who broke the news just took two photos from a distance, and then thought Shu Chang's belly was bulging, so he guessed that she was pregnant. Anyway, the whole report from beginning to end was all speculation by this reporter. At the end of the article, he said that Fanxing Group did not make a positive response, and asked everyone to wait for the follow-up results.
"Well, the relationship is all made up by this guy!" Some netizens said dissatisfiedly.
This is probably the most annoying news for many netizens. This kind of news is full of uncertainties and is purely made up by entertainment reporters. Six or seven out of ten are finally confirmed to be fake news.
In addition, Shu Chang and Nie Wei have been married for ten years, and there have been more than one such revelations before, so netizens feel that they have been fooled again.
If it were a star with poor popularity, it is estimated that this matter would end here.
But Nie Wei and Shu Chang's popularity is really good, and everyone feels that they have been fooled, so many people got angry and kept leaving insults under the comments of the newspaper.
"Editor-in-chief, what should we do?" Lu Cheng was almost scared to tears. He did not expect that what he thought would be a shocking news would be ridiculed by the whole network.
The main reason is that this matter may affect the reputation of the newspaper.
If a newspaper's reputation is bad, it will be finished. After all, media like this, even if it is a paparazzi studio, needs credibility, because media credibility is the most important "wealth" of a media.
Of course, YXH is not among them. That group of people are completely fence-sitters who take money to do things. They say one thing to one person and another to another. They have no objective and fair position that the media should have. Every piece of news they send can be treated as harmful waste gas.
"It's okay, it's harmless." Editor-in-chief Xiao smiled when he saw this. What can he do if he curses? It's just to increase the popularity of their newspaper.
Editor-in-chief Xiao thinks that this is not fake, after all, the report said that it was just speculation.
"Continue to call Fanxing Group for verification." Editor-in-chief Xiao read a few comments and then ordered.
He definitely wanted to verify the information, but he didn't have much hope of getting the result. He didn't even care whether the call could be connected or not.
Because he had more important things to do.
After a while, Editor Xiao's phone rang. It was a call from a colleague.
"You only give 5,000 yuan for the reprint rights of the photo. How can you be so stingy with such a big newspaper?"
"No, the minimum is 50,000 yuan, no bargaining. How about you think about it again? I have another call to answer. It's from XX newspaper."
"Hey, hello, you want the photo too, right? Sure, the price..."
This is the benefit of exclusive news. If other media want to do similar reports, at least they should give a picture. However, this picture cannot be used at will. It needs to be paid.
The specific amount depends on the value and accuracy of the photo. For a photo like today, it is actually impossible to get a high price. In the end, Editor Xiao sold seven newspapers and did not receive a total of 100,000 yuan.
When it was six o'clock in the evening, when he got off work, Editor Xiao gave Lu Cheng a red envelope of 1,000 yuan.
Lu Cheng was very satisfied with a red envelope of 1,000 yuan. Although the news did not explode, this red envelope was a comfort to him. Of course, if the newspaper could happily pay for his clothing expenses, he would be happier.
Just as he was about to pack up and leave work, a colleague suddenly shouted: "Woc, Nie Wei responded!"
"What?" Lu Cheng threw away his briefcase and rushed over immediately.
At this moment, the colleague was pointing at the computer screen and shouting to everyone: "Look at Nie Wei's social account, Nie Wei admitted that Shu Chang really has a baby!!!"
"Woc!"
"Oh my God, we actually guessed it right?"
"Really? Really... Really!"
What is called a stone stirs up a thousand waves, Nie Wei's response is just like that.
Just when this seemingly "gossip" thing was gradually calming down, Nie Wei stood up and gave a positive response.
This made the crowd of spectators, who had gradually extinguished the fire of gossip, burst into enthusiasm again at this moment, and the gossip fire in their hearts burned fiercely, ten times more than before.
Because Nie Wei admitted the fact that Shu Chang had a baby.
"Ahhhhhhh, Shu Chang is going to be a mother, I am so moved that I want to cry."
"Congratulations!!!"
"My youth is finally complete."
"I wonder how good-looking Nie Wei and Shu Chang's baby will be. Will it be taller than the new super skyscraper built by Fanxing?"
"Is it little Weiwei or little Changchang who is going to be born? Nie Wei, please tell everyone!"
"My youth is over, my idol is going to be a father, but I don't even have a boyfriend."
"Eat melon, eat melon, I ate a super big melon today!"
"Yesterday I was dreaming that Nie Wei and I had a little baby. I didn't expect that my dream would come true when I woke up this morning, but why did the heroine change?"
Just when Nie Wei announced the news, fans of a certain artist were organizing a chart-topping campaign.
"Sisters, for our brother to win the popularity list for the tenth consecutive week, we must work hard, we must cheer, we must use all our enthusiasm and the power of our mobile phones to do our best for our brother's peak, shout the slogan with me, brother has us, always the first place!!!"
"Brother has us, always the first place!"
"Brother has us, always the first place."
The replies below the call post are all the same. Except for the different IDs, the replies are all exactly the same. The neatness of the formation is comparable to the most precise and disciplined army.
The fans themselves feel excited. The team is so united and so strong, why worry that brother will not be popular?
At this moment, a string of discordant words suddenly appeared in a row of neat formations.
"Who is so undisciplined? Expel her from the fan club!" Many fans who saw it were angry. The formation was destroyed, which was completely intolerable in their eyes and a betrayal of brother.
But when they saw the content of that post, they immediately panicked.
"Brother's first place is gone!" This is the sentence that destroyed the formation.
How did the first place disappear? Rumors? Many fans didn't believe it. After all, they were already far ahead of the second place in popularity. It would definitely not be surpassed in a short time.
"The second place must have spent money to brush the data again." Someone thought angrily, and was about to continue to call on fans to do data, but found that the comment area suddenly became messy, with many messages that did not follow the required format.
"Nie Wei and Shu Chang are now the first and second place on the celebrity popularity list."
"Nie Wei announced that Shu Chang has a baby!"
"Really, really, Nie Wei announced it personally on his social account!"
The format of the replies in the call post was a mess. A good call post has now become a gossip concentration camp for this group of fans. Everyone is excitedly discussing this matter, completely forgetting the mission they are carrying.
The administrator who called on fans looked at the messy reply area and felt like his heart, scattered. The next second, he silently opened the site search and typed the two words Nie Wei.
"Brother Nie Wei, congratulations!"
Before Nie Wei released the announcement, the top ten stars on the star popularity list had always belonged to those popular traffic artists. They have a huge fan base and a set of professional data processing processes, so it is naturally easier for them to be on the list than ordinary stars.
But when Nie Wei released the announcement confirming that Shu Chang was pregnant, these seemingly unattainable popular stars were instantly squeezed out by Nie Wei and Shu Chang.
In less than two hours, it surpassed the efforts of these traffic artists' fans for five or six days, which shocked countless young fans.
In the hearts of these little girls, they always think that their idols are the most popular. What's the use of those big-name artists no matter how powerful they are, they are still not as popular as their brothers.
But today they finally learned something.
It turns out that the results they are usually proud of are so vulnerable.
Netizens are surprised, and celebrities are also surprised.
As soon as they got the news, the first thing these artists did was to forward and comment on Nie Wei's announcement, sending their most heartfelt blessings.
At one time, hundreds of celebrities in the entertainment industry all went to Nie Wei's social account to send their blessings, and the hot search on one page could not fit them all. The fans of each celebrity also tried their best to comment and like their own celebrity's blessings, hoping to be ranked higher so that Nie Wei could see the intentions of his idol.
As for those who have a good relationship with them, they immediately called Nie Wei and Shu Chang after sending their blessings.
"Ah, Shu Chang, you've kept it from me so hard. I was wondering why you always refused when I asked you to go shopping recently. I thought you liked playing with me." Jiang Xin complained on the phone.
"No, Nie Wei didn't let me say it." Shu Chang glanced at Nie Wei who was standing on the balcony not far away and answering the phone, and replied in a low voice.
"He's really too much. Wait, I'm going to your house now. You must talk to me." As soon as Jiang Xin finished speaking, Shu Chang hurriedly said, "Jiang Xin, I'm in Suzhou and Hangzhou now, not in Kyoto."
"Not in Kyoto?" Jiang Xin was stunned for a moment.
"Well, Nie Wei said that I would definitely be disturbed by reporters in Kyoto, so he just brought me to Suzhou and Hangzhou, and said that the air here is good and suitable for raising people."
"Ah, forget it, I'll go book a plane ticket now, you send me the address."
Shu Chang just hung up the phone for less than two seconds, Fan Binbin's phone called again, just one call after another, Shu Chang's phone began to heat up.
The situation on Nie Wei's side was similar, and many friends called to congratulate Nie Wei.
In a villa in the lakeside villa area of Kyoto, eleven girls sat together, chattering non-stop, and the topic they talked about was naturally the first thing on the hot search list today.
"Zhou Duoduo, should we call your brother in person to congratulate him?" Xuanyi asked.
This is also what many girls think.
They hope to make a phone call, after all, the phone will be more sincere than leaving a message online, but they are afraid that calling will disturb Nie Wei, so they are very entangled.
For people like them who have Nie Wei's private number but are not very familiar with Nie Wei, it is a bit awkward in this situation.
Zhou Duoduo thought about it and said, "How about I call, and then we can congratulate together on the phone, how about it?"
