Chapter 1620: Chapter 808: Berlin Film Festival Scheduled (13,000-Word Update)_8

The people in the country who were scolding Hugh Redman saw this statement and immediately changed their attitude, heaping praise on Hugh Redman.

Zhou Yun saw the shift in public opinion, breathed a sigh of relief, plugged in her phone, silenced it, and went to sleep.

Zhou Yun thought this matter was over just like that.

However, this matter wasn’t as simple as she thought.

Even after statements were issued by all three parties, Hollywood media continued to relentlessly pursue Hugh Redman, skirting the main issue but sensationalizing his act of violence.

It is indeed a fact that he hit someone.

In reality, whether it’s Zhou Yun or Nakajima Hoto, the audience their voices reach is limited.

Under the media’s portrayal, almost everyone concluded that Hugh Redman was a violent offender, with few knowing the truth behind it or that he had cause for his actions—yet, having a cause doesn’t change the fact that he hit someone.

Zhou Yun has her own account on international social media, but there weren’t many replies or shares under her statement.

She could see how people discussed the event and what they thought of Hugh Redman.

Honestly, Zhou Yun was very angry, angry at those media outlets that didn’t have right judgment, and angry at those who didn’t read Hugh Redman’s statement and called him a violent murderer in his comment section.

On the fourth day of filming, most of the actors were present.

They were filming a large group scene of first entering the game.

Hugh Redman was also there, but his mood was somewhat downcast; usually lively and joking with everyone, he now stayed quietly at the side, silent.

Everyone knew he was caught in a public opinion crisis and was not in a good mood, so no one bothered him.

This atmosphere shrouded the set, making everyone speak cautiously.

However, this did not affect Hugh Redman’s acting performance.

During filming, he still managed to bring out his euphoria.

But once "cut" was called, he would go stand aside by himself.

Zhou Yun felt particularly helpless.

There was nothing they could do about such a situation.

The media had already taken control of the narrative.

Zhou Yun guessed that Hugh Redman must regret it very much.

She hesitated for a moment, then walked up to him after that day’s shoot, patted his shoulder, and said, "Hey, Hugh, I know you’re not feeling well right now. If you need anything from me, just let me know."

Hugh Redman nodded his head.

"Thank you."

This comfort was better than nothing.

Hugh Redman was the first to leave the set.

No one said anything.

There was a big difference between Hugh Redman and Chris Pine.

The former was very extroverted and passionate, his energy and enthusiasm seemed endless, like a sun.

Chris Pine, on the other hand, was more mild and reserved. He wouldn’t express his thoughts and emotions as directly as Hugh Redman, but was generally more laid-back, or rather, kept many things to himself.

Their personalities were completely opposite.

In the middle of it, Zhou Yun stood up to go to the restroom.

Nakajima Hoto went with her.

As they walked through the crowd, a lot of men’s eyes lingered on them.

These gazes were more or less laced with some "sexual innuendo."

The straightforward and blatant looks made Zhou Yun feel uncomfortable, and she noticed Nakajima Hoto was also using her hand to shield her chest, likely feeling the same way.

Ultimately, they couldn’t avoid being approached.

Fortunately, Zhou Yun had brought a bodyguard.

When someone approached, Zhou Yun’s bodyguard appeared from the crowd and blocked them directly.

Nakajima Hoto, seeing this, said to Zhou Yun, "Luckily you’re here. Bars are too chaotic, we should try to come less often in the future."

"Next time Hugh Redman organizes something, let’s refuse the bar option together."

"Okay." Nakajima Hoto showed a slightly mischievous smile, like a child, seemingly pleased for establishing an alliance.

When they returned from the restroom to their seats, they found Hugh Redman was already gone.

"Where’s Hugh?" Nakajima Hoto asked Chris Pine.

Chris Pine said, "He went to dance with a girl."

"Huh?" Nakajima Hoto opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Doesn’t he already have a girlfriend? Why is he dancing with another woman?"
