The entertainment reporters in Xiangjiang had the same origin as the notorious paparazzi in the UK, and they had the essence of the latter.
Because the media in Xiangjiang was very developed, even in the age of the Internet, the traditional TV, radio, newspapers, and magazines were still very powerful, and they competed for limited resources in a limited space. Therefore, most of the paparazzi in Xiangjiang had developed a special ability to follow, secretly take photos, and dig up the privacy of celebrities.
Especially the celebrities in Xiangjiang, they all changed their faces when talking about paparazzi. Guarding against paparazzi was a basic skill, and those who didn't master this skill would be embarrassed sooner or later, unless they were clean and innocent.
Therefore, there were many celebrities who quit the entertainment circle, which gave rise to sensational entertainment gossip such as XXX Door.
Before coming to Xiangjiang, several of his friends in the circle, including Chen Fei 'er, had warned Lu Chen that the paparazzi in Xiangjiang were very powerful, and he must be very careful not to let them have anything on him.
Lu Chen kept that in mind, but after arriving in Xiangjiang, he found that the atmosphere here was special, and there were very few people who knew him, so he more or less slacked off.
He didn't expect that he would be secretly photographed.
In fact, he knew that it was useless for him to be careful, because Shu Jing was careful enough, and she also didn't expect it.
Lu Chen couldn't help shaking his head, and reached out to take the Polo Daily, "How much?"
The clerk replied, "50 cents."
Polo Daily was a free daily, but it was not free to sell it in convenience stores or newsstands, so the 50 cents was the booth fee that the latter naturally earned.
But this price was very cheap, because as a daily newspaper, Polo Daily had more than 20 pages, and it had enough materials, so it had a lot of weight in his hands.
Lu Chen had some understanding of the media in Xiangjiang, and he knew that Polo Daily was a rising black horse in Xiangjiang in recent years, and its daily circulation was much higher than that of several old newspapers in the same industry, which was very powerful.
He didn't expect that he would be on the second page of Polo Daily just a few days after coming to Xiangjiang.
But what made Lu Chen dumbfounded was that in this sensationalist news article, he was just a "mysterious man". What was even more outrageous was that the article even hinted that he might be Shu Jing's gigolo.
If the owner of the < Polo Daily > was standing in front of Lu Chen at this moment, Lu Chen would not hesitate to throw the nonsense newspaper in his hand at his face.
With breakfast and newspapers, Lu Chen returned home.
After washing off his sweat, he had just changed into clean clothes when the phone on the coffee table rang.
After the call was connected, Shu Jing's voice came through the phone, "Lu Chen, I'm really sorry …"
Lu Chen understood as soon as he heard it: "Do you want to talk about today's Polo Daily report?"
"Ah!"
Shu Jing was surprised. "You've seen it?"
Lu Chen laughed. "Yes, I've seen the power of the Xiangjiang paparazzi."
Shu Jing said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's my negligence that got you into trouble. I'll post a statement on my blog to explain. I'm sorry for the trouble."
The blog she was talking about was not the domestic Waves blog, but a Hong Kong blog.
Lu Chen said, "It's not your fault. You don't have to apologize. It's not a big deal."
Countless precedents had proved that as a celebrity, it was not worth it to be angry with the media. Unless it was blatant malicious slander or fabrication, it was enough to clarify and laugh it off.
Since he had come to Xiangjiang to develop his career, he must be familiar with and adapt to the rules here.
Therefore, Lu Chen didn't take it to heart, and of course, he wouldn't blame Shu Jing.
After chatting for a while, Lu Chen ended the call with Shu Jing. He thought for a while and called Chen Fei 'er.
The communication between the media in China and Xiangjiang was very poor, and gossip usually rarely appeared there. But now it was the age of the Internet, and the transmission of information was very fast. Therefore, for the sake of safety, he had to tell Chen Fei 'er about it.
After all, it was a scandal.
After listening to Lu Chen's words, Chen Fei 'er laughed and shouted, "Send this newspaper to me right now. I want to see the so-called mysterious man!"
Lu Chen was speechless. He had nothing to say to her. After breakfast, he went out to the studio.
Today, he was going to visit a local film company with Wan Xiaoquan and Chen Wenqiang to discuss the cooperation of the new film.
At the same time, Shu Jing posted a statement on her blog.
The main content of the statement was to refute the report of Polo Daily. She explained the identity and background of Lu Chen in detail, and specifically said that it was the first time they met last night, and that they talked about her new album in the café.
At the end of the blog post, Shu Jing also attached a photo of her and Lu Chen at the charity dinner at that time.
Shu Jing was the queen of the music industry in Xiangjiang, so she naturally knew how to deal with this kind of gossip. She didn't cover up Lu Chen's identity, and frankly announced it to everyone, so that she could show her calmness.
Don't make wild guesses!
In the article, Shu Jing also ridiculed the ignorance of the paparazzi and editors of the < Polo Daily >. They didn't even know Lu Chen, who has recently become a hot topic in China and Korea. They even called him a "mysterious man," which was ridiculous!
Shu Jing had more than 500,000 fans on her blog in Hong Kong, which was much less than those big stars. But as soon as the post was published, it immediately received a lot of reposts and comments.
The circle of Xiangjiang was actually very small, and when there was any news, it was often known by everyone.
Anyway, Shu Jing was a celebrity, so it didn't take long for Li Wan, the editor-in-chief of Polo Daily, to know about it.
After reading Shu Jing's post, he pondered for a moment, and then called Xiao Hou back.
When Xiao Hou returned to the editorial department, Li Wan showed him the post.
Xiao Hou was shocked. "Editor-in-chief Li, I …"
Li Wan shook her head and stopped him from self-reflection. She said, "It's not your fault. Even I didn't recognize this Lu Chen. If we're talking about negligence, it's my fault first."
Xiao Hou felt like he had been pardoned, and he was very touched.
Li Wan continued, "The first mistake can be forgiven, but not the second time. From today on, keep an eye on him. There must be a lot of information on him!"
The editor-in-chief of Polo Daily pointed at Lu Chen on the screen, who was smiling very handsomely in the photo.
There was a sharp light in Li Wan's eyes, as if she was a hunter who had found a powerful prey!
It was the first time that Xiao Hou saw such a look in Li Wan's eyes, and he couldn't help but shiver.
He seemed to smell the smoke of gunpowder.
