Chapter 617: The Whistleblower
Zhang Ran was very helpless. He was really caught in the shooting of this matter, but he could not put the blame on Liu Yifei. He could only say: "Minister Zhang, this report is completely false, and the media is spreading rumors."
Zhang Heping and Zhang Ran have been working for more than a year and know more about Zhang Ran. When filming a major earthquake, Zhang Ran would definitely open the door when talking to the actress. There was a third person present. He believed that Zhang Ran would not be such a fool, so he said, "I believe in you, but this incident has a bad impact. Do you think you should say hello to the Olympic Organizing Committee and let the media not report it."
Zhang Ran knew that this matter was not enough to just shut up the media reports. The key was to convince the public and let everyone know that it was a rumor, so he said: "I'm already dealing with it and it will be resolved soon!"
Zhang Heping used to be in the film industry, and it is difficult to avoid such gossip news. But now you are the director of the opening ceremony, and countless eyes at home and abroad are staring at you. If such a thing happens, the impact will be very bad. The longer it is delayed, the worse the impact will be. Zhang Heping reminded: "It is solved as soon as possible and don't affect the opening ceremony work!"
Zhang Ran knew this and nodded, "Don't worry, Minister Zhang. I will solve it soon!"
Just now, Zhang Ran received a call from his mother Huang Ying. Huang Ying was not polite to Zhang Ran and scolded him: "Zhang Ran, what's wrong with you? You are so capable, don't you want such a good girl as Jingchu? What do you want?"
"Mom, Jingchu and I are fine. Don't listen to nonsense in the newspaper." Zhang Ran knew that his mother liked Zhang Jingchu very much, so he quickly explained.
"Do you think I'm easy to coax?" Huang Ying was furious. "I called Jingchu just now, and she was crying so sad. If you weren't in Peking, I really wanted to mix your earwax! I'd be so angry! You said you! What do you think? You don't want such a good girl from Jingchu, and you're messing around outside? Do you want to get angry? I'll tell you that I don't recognize any other women except Jingchu! If you dare to bring them back, I'll drive you out with a broom!"
Zhang Ran was speechless and aggrieved. Mom, I am your own son, how could you turn your elbow out? But you couldn't say that, Zhang Ran had to patiently explain: "Mom, my real mother, why don't you believe it? Am I your son or Jingchu your daughter? Why do I feel like an outsider? I really didn't mess around outside! It's really a media rumor! Why don't you believe it?"
Huang Ying accused: "There are all these photos, can they be fake? Besides, you fell in love early in junior high school and even found a foreign girl. I don't know your charm yet? Son, I know that there are many messy things in your circle. It is normal to have a confidante, but you have to remember that marrying a wife and virtuous, Jingchu is a good girl, don't be confused!"
Zhang Ran was really speechless. Why did he get all the old accounts of childhood? What do you think of? I couldn't help but say, "Mom, my dad is a teacher, a very honest teacher. I have always been proud of her. Later, when I was in the United States, I met Mr. Mary Hill. She was very nice to me and taught me a lot of things. For me, teachers are a very sacred profession. I have always asked myself to "learn high as a teacher and be honest as an example", so I will never get entangled with students."
When Huang Ying heard Zhang Ran say this, she sceptically said: "Then explain it to Jingchu clearly and don't affect your relationship because of this kind of thing. The little girl Liu Yifei looks pretty, but she is a rich lady like her, who can take care of people if she is clothes and food. You are so busy with work, what you need is someone who can take care of you. If you are with Jingchu, don't worry your dad and I!"
I still don’t believe this!
Zhang Ran felt so depressed. Even convincing her mother was so difficult. It was probably even more difficult to convince the public. She was thick-skinned anyway. Not to mention Che Zhen, it doesn’t matter if I say I, Ma Zhen, but Liu Yifei was in trouble. This black spot will accompany her for the rest of her life. Just like the news that Yuan Feng was kept, it was clarified, but it was useless. The public only believed what they were willing to believe!
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Ran drove Chen Weiya's car and left the operation center and came to an Anzhen cafe.
After entering the private room, I waited for more than ten minutes. A middle-aged man with a vulgar appearance and black-framed glasses walked in.
Zhang Ran stood up, shook hands with him without hesitation, and said, "You are Zhuo Wei? Let's sit down, it's quite hard to do your job."
Zhuo Wei smiled and replied: "There is no way, it's all for work."
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "I heard that in order to shoot the exclusive crew photos of the movie "The Promise", you climbed the corner tower on the set with a ladder of more than ten meters and squatted for 4 days. In the end, you broke through the security system that the crew spent 2 million yuan to hire, and exclusively took the crew's work photos and character styles."
Zhuo Weitan was very proud of this past: "When Chen Hong saw me later, she asked, are you the person on the roof?"
Zhang Ran looked at Zhuo Wei and smiled and said, "I have no prejudice against paparazzi. The entertainment industry also needs paparazzi. The public cannot only look at the good side of celebrities, but they should also see the unknown side of him. I don't oppose paparazzi, nor are I afraid that you will photograph me, but spreading rumors means you are wrong!"
Zhuo Wei smiled embarrassedly: "I'm also trying to survive."
Zhang Ran didn't talk nonsense and said directly: "I asked you out today because I wanted to ask you something, who is making trouble behind this matter? Tell me a brief explanation!"
Zhuo Wei looked like a revolutionary warrior, with a steadfast face: "I can't say this. Others broke the news to me because they trust me. If I tell you, who broke the news to me in the future! I did not do this for money. If so, I would sell the photos to Gao Yuanyuan and Xia Yu, and the reward would be much more than now."
Zhang Ran found it funny. He didn't withdraw money at all, but you were impatient to say that you would not charge money. There is really no silver here! However, Zhang Ran was not in a hurry to withdraw money and said with a smile: "What are you doing? You won't tell me, it's to prevent the world from being destroyed and to maintain peace on the earth, right?"
Zhuo Weizhen said authentically: "What makes the most accomplished thing about being a paparazzi is not the moment you capture the news scene, but the huge effect brought by the news. If the news we dug out is not paid attention to, then all the efforts before will be in vain. After reporting the news about Xia Yu and Gao Yuanyuan, many friends forwarded the photos we took online. Some old classmates who have not been in contact for a long time also called me and asked me, "You took it, right? To be honest, I really like this job, it proves my value. In my opinion, the important thing about this job is not what I took and what I wrote, but how we exist."
Zhang Ran said lightly: "If I want, I can destroy this value of you!"
Zhuo Wei was not afraid: "Are you threatening me?"
Zhang Ran said lightly: "It's not a threat, it's just a statement of a fact."
Zhuo Wei said without fear: "Mr. Zhang, I know you are rich and have a lot of energy, but you are not yet able to cover the sky with just one hand. The "Single Crystal News" that I worked with, "Southern Weekend" has always had a bad relationship with you. No matter how powerful you are, you can't reach the hands of these media!"
Zhang Ran laughed: "Do you know the movie "Seventeen-year-old Bicycle"? Do you know why the movie was banned? Because it affects the Olympic bid. Our opening ceremony is in full swing, but you pour such dirty water on me. I suspect you have collusion with hostile forces abroad and intend to undermine the preparations for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games!"
Zhuo Wei lost his beauty instantly. Although he was a paparazzi, he always regarded himself as a reporter. He knew that since the successful bid for the Olympic Games, all kinds of smears against the Peking Olympics have never been stopped. The Olympic project caused 1.25 million people to lose their homes, China prohibited foreign athletes from bringing Bibles to the Olympic Village, etc. Not only the country, but also the people hate these people who smear the Peking Olympics.
Zhuo Wei is not sure why "The Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" was banned, but he has heard of the rumors that it affects the Olympic bid. He knows how much the country and the people value the Olympics. If Zhang Ran's hat is really put on his head, let alone no newspaper dares to use his own reports, walking on the street can make people beat him to death!
Zhuo Wei realized that he was making the success of several big news such as Chen Daoming and Gao Yuanyuan dazzled, and just wanted to make a big news. This matter had an impact on the Olympics. I was afraid it would really cause trouble this time, and said in a trembling voice: "Zhang Ran, don't talk nonsense, I am just a paparazzi, how could it destroy the opening ceremony of the Olympics?"
Zhang Ran's eyes were as cold as a knife: "Talking nonsense? Isn't you the one who really talks nonsense? To be honest, I can come up with a hundred ways to deal with you. But now things have come out, and these are no longer important. I don't want to talk nonsense, I'll give you 1 million, and you do what I say!"
Zhuo Wei had no choice but to nod, "Okay!"
Zhang Ran looked at Zhuo Wei and said slowly: "First, explain in the newspaper that your report is false, apologize to Liu Yifei and me; second, tell me who is making trouble with this matter; third, if you take a photo in the future, it is best to communicate with Century Peak before posting it!"
"It's okay to apologize, and communication is fine, but I really don't know who is messing with me, and I can't bite you randomly. If I just say a name, you will definitely not believe me. I will definitely ask me to get the evidence. I really can't take it out!" Zhuo Wei saw the chill in Zhang Ran's eyes getting colder, and he said with a sting, "This is the thing. Yesterday afternoon, at about 4:30, we received a call, which was called by a woman, and told us that you have an affair with Liu Yifei and have been with Liu Yifei for a long time. I will send her back to the villa tonight!"
Zhang Ran was stunned when he heard this, realizing that something was wrong, and immediately asked: "Wait, do you mean, she told you that I will send Liu Yifei back to the villa tonight?"
Zhuo Wei nodded and said, "Yes, is there anything wrong?"
Zhang Ran's expression became solemn: "No, this is very wrong. I don't know anything. How could the other party be so clear? Are you sure you heard it wrong?"
"If you don't believe me, I can make someone tone the recording!" Zhuo Wei saw Zhang Ran a little surprised and quickly explained, "We have recorded the phones in Fengxing Studio!"
"Then I'll trouble you!"
An hour later, people from Fengxing Studio came over with the recording.
Zhuo Wei put the recorder on the table and pressed the play button. A woman's voice sounded: "Is Fengxing Studio? I have news to you. It's big news. Zhang Ran and Liu Yifei have an affair, and it has been a while since they got together. Zhang Ran did not go home during the Spring Festival this year, but was in the United States, and was with Liu Yifei. Tonight, Zhang Ran will go back to the villa with Liu Yifei, you can shoot it quickly!"
When he heard the woman's voice, Zhang Ran seemed to be a ghost, with disbelief and shock on his face, and murmured: "This, how is this possible..."
Seeing Zhang Ran's reaction, Zhuo Wei asked curiously: "Do you know the person who broke the news?"
Zhang Ran did not answer, held his hands in front of his chest, lowered his head to think about the whole incident, which was really beyond his expectations, and he had to make up for it. Soon, Zhang Ran figured out the joints of the whole incident, sighed deeply, and said, "It's an acquaintance! I never dreamed that it would be her. It's really hard to predict!"
