The next morning.
Several mainstream media outlets published articles at the same time.
Breaking news!
[ Real case family member speaks out, rebuking The Perfect Lawyer for making things up!]
[ The party involved in the case requests to stop broadcasting The Perfect Lawyer]
It attracted the attention of many people.
The author went straight to the point in the article, saying that after seeing a long Weibo article, after investigation, he interviewed the parties involved in a case in The Perfect Lawyer and their families.
In the interview, the family told the whole story and accused The Perfect Lawyer of distorting the truth.
In the end, the author commented that there should be a bottom line for TV dramas.
Along with these articles, there were also interviews with the family members of the case.
After Chen Lan reminded the young lady, they were all very excited when they saw the reporters.
In the video, the white-haired father, who wanted to kneel in front of the reporters at the first moment, cried out every word.
âMy sonâs life has been ruined by rumors! Now that my daughter has finally gotten into university, will she will have to go through such a thing?â
âWhat did our family do wrong?â
As the people in the video cried, the camera behind the reporter also took pictures of the familyâs living environment.
It was very clean, but the aura of poverty was everywhere.
Anyone who saw this could not remain indifferent.
Not long after, the hashtag #The Perfect Lawyer distorts black and white# became the headline of the day.
[ An adaptation without a bottom line. 1 support stopping The Perfect Lawyer]
[ Itâs just an adaptation. Creation is free. Thereâs nothing wrong with the TV series!]
[Of course, you have the freedom to create, but The Perfect Lawyer has always claimed to be filming real cases. Since itâs promoting the truth, then we must respect the truth!]
[ The Perfect Lawyer was recommended by the officials. Thereâs definitely no problem with it. Who knows, this person who hasnât been sentenced might actually be a murderer!]
[ I donât want to say much. I hope this drama will be taken down and rectified. Compared to a TV series, people are more important!]
[ Do some people not have empathy? Besides, I think this drama is really ordinary. If it wasnât for the fact that itâs based on real cases, who would watch it?]
[ Of course the TV series is fake. Weâre not primary school students anymore. Whoever takes it seriously is a fool. Why should we take it down?]
[ Xiyanâs previous film Chang1 an Elegance had a problem with the data, and this article said that there was a problem with the script. Someone must be targeting our Xiyan! This family must be lying!]
The comments section was in an uproar.
Some people who had never watched this drama clicked on it out of curiosity when they saw the news.
It was foreseeable that the viewership ratings and views of The Perfect Lawyer would continue to rise in the short term.
However, with the mainstream mediaâs voice, the department in charge of radio and television would definitely review this drama.
Shen Xiyan, the party involved, naturally thought of this.
She controlled her anger and urged Mo Zhenning to quickly contact that family.
âThat family is so poor. If we give them a large sum of money, they will definitely do as we say!â
Mo Zhenning and Shen Xiyan had the same thoughts, so they tried to get the contact information of the family.
However, Mo Zhenning had only said a few words when he was rejected.
He pressed the space between his eyebrows. According to Shen Xiyanâs instructions, he asked: âTell me, how much do you want? State your price directly.â
Mo Zhenningâs response was the sound of the phone hanging up.
Shen Xiyan saw that his expression was not right and guessed the result.
âIf you canât shut this family up, then shut the media up!â
Mo Zhenning shook his head.â Iâm afraid not. They must have investigated the news that has already been released. They wonât take it back.â
If the media slapped themselves in the face, who would believe any news they reported in the future?
Shen Xiyan gritted her teeth. âContact the screenwriter!â
Even though this drama was based on real cases and basically had nothing to do with the screenwriter, there had to be someone who took the blame.
That afternoon, The Perfect Lawyerwas taken off the air.
The production team held an emergency press conference.
Shen Xiyan was the first to apologize.
âIâm very sorry to have let down the expectations of the fans and audience. 1 will definitely choose the scripts properly in the future. 1 guarantee that such a thing wonât happen again!â
She looked apologetic, as if she wanted to take all the blame.
Shen Xiyanâs fans happened to fall for this and spoke up for their main character on various platforms.
[ Two dramas have been taken off the shelves in a row. Has Xiyan been in a bad mood recently? Iâm so worried!]
[ I feel like Xiyan is about to cry. Me too. Itâs all that damn screenwriterâs fault. Why did he change the script for no reason?]
[ Xiyan, you donât have to apologize. Itâs not your fault.]
Tang Zinian, the male lead of The Perfect Lawyer, apologized immediately after.
Tang Zinianâs apology looked much more sincere.
However, this matter had nothing to do with him in the first place. Just like Shen Xiyan, fans felt sorry for him.
Tang Zinian himself, if not for the companyâs contract, might have directly revealed that the script of The Perfect Lawyer was changed at the request of Shen Xiyan and had nothing to do with the screenwriter.
Unfortunately, he could not say anything.
The final apology was the main culprit in the eyes of the public, the screenwriter of this drama.
After he apologized to the parties involved in the case and promised compensation, his future was completely over.
Chen Lan looked at the press conference and sneered, âLast time, it was the director who took the blame. This time, itâs the screenwriter. Shen Xiyan is not afraid that no one will work with her in the future.â
As a manager, she could empathize with the screenwriterâs experience.
âIt wonât happen.â Song Qingyou looked up. âMoney makes the world go round. As long as the Shen family doesnât fall, nothing will happen to Shen Xiyan.â
âAt least give her more trouble so that she wonât have the time to target us.â
After Chen Lan said that, she asked, âNow that The Perfect Lawyer has been removed from the shelves, can The Editorial Room be promoted properly, right? Maybe the viewership ratings will be revived.â
âNo rush.â Song Qingyou shook her head. âIf we start promoting our drama as soon as the other one is taken down, isnât this telling everyone that we might be the ones who caused the problem with Shen Xiyanâs drama?â
âEven so, we canât just sit back and do nothingâ¦â Chen Lan did not want to miss this opportunity.
âLet nature take its course.â
Song Qingyou said, âQuality is the key. Any other means of publicity can only be used as a supplement.â
As long as the quality of the drama was good enough and the standard was high enough, it would be like fireworks. As long as there was an opportunity to light the fuse, it would definitely bloom.
Chen Lan sighed. âThatâs true, but even the aroma of the best wine is afraid of the dank alley. If weâre unlucky, this drama will miss the golden promotional time.â
While the two of them were still chatting, the television stations companyâs relevant department sent news that they had taken down the The Perfect Lawyer, and wanted The Editorial Room to replace it.
Song Qingyou smiled when she heard the news. âLooks like we really donât have to do anything.â
Chen Lan was speechless.
It had to be said that Song Qingyou was quite lucky..
