Lu Chuan did not announce her divorce to the outside world, but it was still photographed by paparazzi hired by Jiang Huai.

The dispute between the other party and Jiang Wen alone was not enough to attract attention, so Jiang Huai had been hiring paparazzi to follow the other party for so long.

In the past, there were only photos of Lu Chuan and Zhao Xueying, the female lead of Kekexili, spending time alone together. At the time, Jiang Huai didn't care much about them, thinking they were just part of the director's daily routine.

However, today came some big news: after becoming famous, he abandoned his wife who had stood by him through thick and thin. Moreover, given the previous photos, Lu Chuan can forget about appearing in public for the next few years.

After paying a large sum of money to the paparazzi who were tracking Lu Chuan through an intermediary, Jiang Huai immediately gave the photos to the newspaper he had previously contacted.

As for the future of Lu Chuan and Zhao Xueying, what does that have to do with Jiang Huai?

There are only so many positions in the industry. As long as you don't break the law, there are no means you can't use. If you're too kind, then leaving the industry early is a good thing.

On the evening of November 17th, the artillery fire that Jianghuai had been eagerly anticipating finally broke out.

Feng Xiaogang publicly criticized the Golden Rooster Awards at an exchange event held at the UNE New World Cinema in Shanghai.

The news had not yet spread that day and did not cause much of a stir.

It wasn't until 14:35 PM the next day that the newspaper, rushed to completion, published its first news article, in which Feng Xiaogang described the Golden Rooster Awards as a woman past her prime, going through menopause, which attracted attention.

Fans of the film "Cell Phone" and other film enthusiasts of Feng Xiaogang immediately began to attack the Golden Rooster Awards in the media, questioning the directors and actors who won the awards.

Jianghuai, which had previously been heavily publicized, naturally bore the brunt.

Jianghuai's reputation has now changed from being considered equals and unparalleled talents to being seen as a gigolo who got his position through connections.

Being at the center of public opinion means no one cares about your past achievements. Even if there are crazy fans of the movie "Stone" defending you, it's just like throwing a stone into a tsunami; it can't stop anything.

In the past few days, Jiang Huai has been receiving calls from newspapers he has never contacted before, all trying to schedule interviews. Even though Jiang Huai refused, they persisted in making appointments every day.

However, today they all avoid Jianghuai like the plague, with only a few newspapers that want to profit from Boheliu continuing to persist.

Because no one but Ning Hao knew about Jiang Huai's plans, Tong Liya stopped going to school these past few days and chose to stay by Jiang Huai's side.

Jiang Huai was quite touched by this, but he didn't bring it up with Tong Liya.

After all, an emotional bond between the two is not strong enough. If things are made clear to her, Tong Liya might inadvertently let it slip.

Ning Hao is different. The other party is still relying on him for his new movie, and the two will have more interests intertwined in the future. As long as the other party doesn't have mental problems, he will keep quiet for the next few years.

Besides Tong Liya, Fu Lulu and Jiang Huai's parents also made many phone calls.

"Jiang Huai, are you alright? Why don't you come to Yunnan to relax?"

"Don't worry, Auntie, it's nothing. Just relax."

"Son, if all else fails, just come home. Your mom has found you a job."

"Dad, tell Mom not to worry, I'll call you after this is all over."

Jiang Huai simply told them not to worry, without saying anything else. The matter was kept secret, and making his family worry now was all for his own better tomorrow.

Five days after Feng Xiaogang publicly criticized Jianghuai, online condemnation of the company reached its peak.

On the evening of November 22, Phoenix.com, which had the most extensive cooperation with Jianghuai, published two news articles that Jianghuai had previously given them.

Famous director Lu Chuan has been caught having an affair; he had previously divorced his wife.

The weakness that the wrap-up photos of Jianghuai Films cannot conceal: Who is ruining the future of Chinese cinema?

The two reports, once published, stirred up a wind no less powerful than Feng Xiaogang's previous attacks.

Online opinion instantly reversed, with onlookers who were simply venting their emotions turning their attention to Lu Chuan.

The previously silenced "Crazy Stone" fans have begun to settle scores, and many hindsight experts have started to support Jiang Huai.

Everything went exactly as Jiang Huai had planned, and the effect was even better than expected, thanks to the incriminating evidence personally provided by Lu Chuan.

That night, Jiang Huai called out the unkempt Ning Hao. The two didn't say anything, but just laughed and drank a lot of alcohol.

When it was over, Tong Liya came to pick up Jiang Huai. She didn't think too much about it, she just felt that Jiang Huai had finally gotten over his suffering. Although it was only for five short days, public opinion really can destroy a person.

To celebrate that everything was over, Tong Liya even bought several interesting outfits for Jiang Huai to choose from when he got home.

On the way home, Jiang Huai pretended to be drunk and leaned on Tong Liya's shoulder, crying. Seeing the sadness in her expression, he realized that newcomers to the entertainment industry are indeed easy to fool.

Jiang Huai had a great time that night.

If Jiang Huai hadn't received a call from Fu Lulu the next day, his enthusiasm might have lasted a little longer.

"Jiang Huai, you're even keeping this from me now. All that worrying I've had for you has been for nothing. And what part of that report matches you? Did you have someone put it there too?!"

Fu Lulu went to bed too early last night and didn't notice the reversal in public opinion; she was even worried about Jiang Huai in her sleep.

But when Fu Lulu turned on her computer this morning, she felt that she had missed out on the development of the times last night.

Jiang Huai, who was previously being criticized, suddenly became a dedicated and excellent director, and the only news on the internet was praise.

Instead, Lu Chuan, who had previously remained uninvolved, became the target of public criticism. The reversal was so rapid that Fu Lulu thought she was still asleep, especially after reading the report praising Jiang Huai three times.

He would personally handle even small things like choosing lunch boxes for the staff, and he would get angry when staff members volunteered to work overtime. He devoted himself to the production team every day.

Fu Lulu counted on her fingers but couldn't find a single spot to press on Jiang Huai's body.

She realized that this reversal was probably Jiang Huai's doing; that kid was full of bad ideas even when he was young.

She had a first love in high school, which was discovered by Jiang Huai. After extorting all her pocket money, he betrayed her and made money from Fu Yi.

Even if Jiang Huai didn't hire someone to take the photos, he would definitely have spent money to promote the news report about Lu Chuan.

"Didn't I tell you not to worry?"

"Then tell me the truth, did you post that in Lu Chuan's place?"

"What does it matter? He did everything himself; no one exaggerated it."

Hearing Jiang Huai's tacit reply, Fu Lulu had no other questions in her mind, nor did she need anything from him. Since the film crew was about to start shooting, she hung up the phone immediately.

Jiang Huai put down his phone after hearing the call notification tone. Tong Liya had to go to class today, and he was the only one at home.

Looking at the view of the capital city outside the window, Jiang Huai couldn't imagine Lu Chuan's current situation. He guessed that Lu Chuan was probably curled up in a room right now.

Although he was the one who orchestrated all of this, Jiang Huai couldn't help but feel a little emotional. It had nothing to do with Lu Chuan's experiences; he was just lamenting how careless Lu Chuan was in his work.
