Chapter 1012: "They’ve gone mad, they’ve gone mad—just how new does a case have to be to be considered new?"
The following day, news of the film crew suffering from food poisoning at the film studio was also spread online by nearby paparazzi.
The male lead who was sent to the hospital was somewhat famous, and his production team wanted to take this opportunity to generate buzz, so the incident attracted a certain amount of attention as soon as it was posted online.
However, this level of exposure is clearly still insufficient.
So, while browsing through the news, the marketing account suddenly had a flash of inspiration and added a prefix to the video: "The cast and crew of 'Yu Ye' at the film and television base suffered collective food poisoning!"
Then they also casually posted a few photos to attract traffic and provide "evidence".
To be honest, these photos really do have some of the true essence of montage masters.
The first photo shows Xiao He and his group walking back after dinner (taken recently after a wrap party at a farmhouse restaurant). The second photo shows a police car parked in front of the farmhouse restaurant (taken around the time Xiao He attracted the police while fishing). The third photo shows an ambulance parked in front of a hotel inside the film studio...
Well, that's true, but the way you put it all together makes it sound like the whole cast and crew of "The End" got food poisoning and ended up in the hospital.
Although they are completely unrelated things, when these photos are put together, they actually look quite convincing!
I even feel like I've already filled in the story in my mind.
Fans of the drama "Otoya":?
Main creative team, actors, and fans:?
When they first saw it, they had to admit that they were quite startled.
But after figuring out what happened, I couldn't help but laugh in anger.
No, you marketing account, it's been a while since I've criticized you, are you itching for a beating again?
What prefix is this?
How could all of this be attributed to the production team of "Yu Ye"?
【It seems this matter has nothing to do with the "Sumi-san" production team, right?】
【It's certainly regrettable that a certain film crew suffered a mass food poisoning incident, but you guys are really shamelessly trying to ride that wave for attention! You're incredibly audacious!】
When will marketing accounts be able to break free from Xiao Ge's control and operate independently?
...
However, it is unclear whether the fans' words spurred the marketing accounts' fighting spirit, or whether they sought out channels to inquire with the film studio's proxy photographers and individual internal staff.
Soon, new related accounts posted videos.
The very first sentence was enough to make one almost lose their composure—
"You've probably all heard about the sudden mass food poisoning incident at the film studio where 'The Corner' is set, right? But what you might not know is that it all started with a fishing incident that triggered an emergency call..."
"It turns out that everything was foreshadowed—"
"Actor Xiao is an avid fisherman, and he didn't give up this hobby even while filming on set. Long before the mass food poisoning incident, Xiao went fishing with the rest of the crew at a farmhouse by the river outside the film studio. Little did he expect that he would catch such a big fish that day!"
Everyone curiously crowded around to take a look, only to be astonished to discover that what had been fished up was actually a mysterious large suitcase...
"As friends who frequently dispose of bodies in the wild know, the suitcases in the wild are usually filled with either banknotes or fragments of banknotes. Could there be some hidden secrets in the suitcase that Brother Xiao fished out?"
"Soon, hooray! The police arrived at the scene..."
...
This video deliberately creates a serious case atmosphere, even using the common type of case narration audio. The most classic opening lines for this type of AI voice are: "They're on a killing spree, they're on a killing spree, let's see where they've killed today—", "Just how new does a case have to be to be considered new? Let's take a look at this newly released case..."
Furthermore, the background music is eerie and chilling, sending shivers down your spine and making you want to curl up in bed.
But once the narration tune starts playing, who could resist lying in bed and watching an episode about a super-psychopathic killer?
However, this time it's really not something to be happy about.
Because the person explaining the case is oneself.
Xiao He:...I never imagined that I would actually appear in someone else's case explanation in another form.
Even the materials used by this commentary blogger are clips from his previous works.
What about Mu Ze lifting a chainsaw, what about Mo Tun pulling out teeth, what about Shu Yuxiu smiling in prison...?
No, really?
These clips, with the added filter, make them look less like "Brother Xiao providing clues while fishing" and more like "Xiao He killing seven people in one night, a sensational case that shocked the whole country."
Hey blogger who edited this video, come out here and tell us what you were thinking.
Well... sometimes people really feel helpless and want to call the police.
"Hahaha, I can't take it anymore, hahaha, have you guys seen this video?"
What's even more amazing is that as soon as you arrive at the film set, you can hear Yuan Sitong's unrestrained laughter.
"A tragedy caused by a fishing rod! As a result, netizens said that if Brother Xiao had actually caught a fish this time, the case would have been investigated for a while longer. So it's not that those who stole the fish were unlucky; it's purely that Brother Xiao's bad luck was working its magic."
"Who could have imagined that even at this point, Brother Xiao still hasn't caught a fish."
"Then there's this netizen's comment: 'Luckily, Brother Xiao was unlucky enough to not catch a single fish that time, otherwise our entire crew would have been poisoned beforehand. Isn't that a kind of conservation of luck? Hahaha, although that makes sense, but—'"
Yuan Sitong was still holding up her phone and complaining to the people around her when she suddenly sensed murderous intent.
It was like being caught slacking off in class when suddenly the head of the grade behind me gave me a death stare...
Without even turning around to check, Yuan Sitong put away her phone almost instantly, then turned her head in a very hypocritical manner to meet Xiao He's gaze, who was fixed on something, and greeted him casually: "Ah, hehe, Brother Xiao, you're here! Sit, sit, please have a seat!"
Xiao He:...
Only Yan Shaohan was still laughing along, looking completely naive: "Haha, Xiao He, you've had it tough too. Our crew has just caught this wave of popularity. We're so sorry, but you'll have to sacrifice yourself for now!"
Yan Shaohan's words only made things worse, because they reminded Xiao He of something important—the fishing rod he used to go fishing was a gift from this guy at the opening ceremony!
So the root of all evil is not him at all, but the person who handed all evil over to him in the first place!
Yan! Shao! Han!
Xiao He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and his fists were clenched so tightly they were cracking.
Yuan Sitong had already sensed the danger and ran away in advance. Only Yan Shaohan was still asking Xiao He, "By the way, Xiao He, shall we go fishing at the farmhouse again? I've already inquired, and the food poisoning incident involving the film crew wasn't at the place we went to last time. This place's food safety has been thoroughly inspected and is quite reliable. We didn't catch any fish last time, so how about this time..."
"No."
Xiao He waved Yan Shaohan's hand away, forcing a smile, "My agent is looking for me, I have to go now."
"Huh, huh?"
Yan Shaohan watched Xiao He's departing figure, scratching his head in confusion: "What's wrong with Xiao He today? Is he in a bad mood?"
Yuan Sitong gave a thumbs-up: "A role model for us all."

On the internet, the official account of "Yu Ye" quickly issued a statement to clarify the situation, in order to prevent netizens from spreading rumors and making things more out of proportion. What was originally a simple matter had little to do with their production team, but it was exaggerated by netizens and marketing accounts.
In their clarification statement, they explained the background and the current progress of the official rectification efforts, and called on everyone to protect the environment.
Unexpectedly, once this clarification was released, netizens' attention immediately shifted elsewhere.
【So your cast finished filming in batches? And even had a wrap party? Oh, I almost forgot you were filming the finale of "Sumi-san"... No, you just reminded me out of the blue, and now I'm starting to feel the pain again.】
【Who in a good-guy drama kills off all the characters in the story and then throws a grand wrap party in real life?!】
【Karta, you've committed so many evil deeds, why are you still chasing after me?!】
【The thought of a wrap party and behind-the-scenes footage later on makes me feel like I can't even cry anymore.】
【Director Yan, I hate you, Yin Qi, I hate you too! Please, have some humanity! Don't kill them, please don't kill them!】
