"Wait a minute," I said, confused. "I may not be paying much attention to entertainment news... But whether or not this Quinn is Emma's boyfriend, what does he have to do with Emma accidentally killing your father because he claimed that he was molested by your father? After all, it was not Quinn who pushed your father down from the Greenbird Bay. "

But at the same time, I felt that there might be a deep connection that I still wasn't clear about, because the Ms Mistie had taught me a lesson just now — a fifteen minute journey was enough to overturn the case and draw a conclusion that Emma and Allen might be acquainted with each other.

"As a well-known broadcaster of Eloi Company, you should understand," Ms Mistie's voice was slightly taunting, "Since you also agree that the value of a VIP star is that they can be consumed by the audience's imagination, then why did they have a couple?"

"It's probably because having a couple doesn't mean they're going to get married."

"You're right!" But she shakes her head. I think she's lamenting about the industry's chaos, "Even if the idols of the audience have a couple, it doesn't mean they're going to get married. So the audience still has a small 'opportunity'. "What's more …"

I understood what she meant now, so I quickly replied, "Besides, a couple will enrich the celebrity's experience in the field of love, making them more valuable!"

"Of course, it's valuable for the company to create an image of perfect love. So even those celebrities who do have a marriage, and whose marriage is in trouble, don't divorce easily. After all, this is damaging to their healthy image, ha-ha. "

I listened to her shrill laughter, but I didn't feel it was funny at all.

I saw that the messages on the screen were mostly for the Miss Emma, saying that Emma and Quinn were a match made in heaven. I'm not sure about that, because...

"So for the benefit of the company and yourself, after two to three years of development, it's a common practice for VIP celebrities to 'develop' a 'healthy' couple!" Judging from her clothes and age, she was clearly not very interested in entertaining celebrities. But in order to be fair to her father, she must have understood some of the industry's common practices and insider information, "Therefore, no matter how sweet Emma and Emma are in public, they can't be convinced — at least I don't believe it!"

"There should be a good reason for you to be so certain, right?"

"Ai..." I mean, the people who created this' love plan 'for those celebrities are naturally not ordinary people. They would plan everything to preserve this seemingly perfect relationship. " She pointed at the handsome Quinn in the photo, "Look at their faces. One was extremely beautiful, the other was extremely handsome. Not to mention looks, whether it's personality, hobbies, or knowledge — although it's the easiest thing to make up — they're all so compatible. Don't you think it's too perfect? "

"I want to …" At this moment, I heard the director remind me in my ear — — Quinn and Emma are both Eloi Film And Television Company stars, you should carefully think about what you should say!

Of course I know what the director means, whether it's Emma or Quinn's fans, they are people that I, as an ordinary person, cannot afford to offend.

Thus, I could only reply in a 'fair' manner, "It is very perfect, but there is indeed a perfect thing in this world, isn't there?"

"You're right, but the rest is interesting." She rehung the picture and tore off another. I can still see a picture of Emma and Quinn together on top of it, but the location is different. The first was at a virtual meetup where I saw "clones" shaking hands with countless enthusiastic fans. And this one...

There was no doubt it was in the prison, because I saw two conspicuous jailers on both sides — it was Moloch Robot, a black suspension body. It was said that they could shoot out dizzying electromagnetic waves to prevent any escape attempts by the prisoners. Of course, no one had ever dared to do so.

And among the terrifying robots, there was a Miss Emma wearing a simple prison uniform. I think that maybe it was because the media wanted to broadcast it, that the Miss Emma put on makeup. However, her makeup was not excessive, it was clear that she was also trying to show that the Miss Emma was very cooperative with the prison's "education" and was also obedient to the laws and regulations of the society.

Meanwhile, his boyfriend Quinn, who was looking at her deeply, was also dressed very simply. There were even two lines of tears on his face. This was obviously the scene of the famous star Quinn visiting his girlfriend, what secrets did Miss Mistie want to point out?

"After Emma was sentenced to prison, although her popularity did not decrease, the popularity of Ms. Beta, the robot that was pushed out by Moloch Company also soared. After all, she couldn't show her face in prison, even if it was only for three months. But you know, in this business, survival of the fittest is common. "

"Something like that." I nodded my head, "This should be a very warm scene to the fans, my boyfriend Quinn is not looking for a new partner just because of Emma's imprisonment."

"Heh heh," Mistie took down some more newspaper guides, "Miss Emma was already a big star three or four years ago, and her popularity has always been high. The most important turning point for the Mr Quinn that attracted spectators was still becoming his boyfriend. Do you understand that? "

I saw that it was more general reports, with the titles of "unveiling" and "revelations" hanging: "This is the norm in the circle."

"More importantly, ever since Miss Emma went to prison, Quinn's popularity has been declining by leaps and bounds. Eloi Film And Television Company has even introduced a few male artists, not to mention other film and television companies. "

I saw that the message on the screen agreed with Ms Mistie, there were even people who said: "Quinn is just a trash of a man, by the side of Miss Emma, he doesn't actually know anything, he only knows how to show off."

"At the crucial moment, I can show you whether a person has true strength or just looks like one." The Ms Mistie pointed to Emma on the diagram and said, "Even though I hate the Miss Emma, I have to say that she is a very capable celebrity. Not only is her singing voice outstanding, her acting skills have also improved a lot in the past few years. Unlike other VIP stars who are busy with promotional activities, she always has her own 'art' work. But as for Quinn … "

"I understand what you mean," But I still did not know how such things could be interesting, "But Quinn visiting Emma seems to be normal right?"

"After all, we're both male and female friends, aren't we?" "But strangely, I collected all the information on Quinn going to visit the Miss Emma. They always have a rule: Only when Quinn's career has been thwarted will he go to the prison to perform!"

"Huh?" I began to understand where the "interesting" point lay.

"When his role was snatched away by the new generation of stars, Quinn would go and visit Emma; when the drug abuse scandal broke, Quinn would go and visit Emma; and for the last time, when he was secretly captured by others going to the red light district, Quinn would go and visit Emma. "Hur hur, do you understand his strategy?"

"So what you mean is that after your popularity gets hit by a setback or a scandal, you will have to rely on Emma to restore your popularity?"

"Yes, and even relying on this kind of 'healthy image of sharing a boat with its owner' to avoid the truth, causing others to ignore those scandals and focus on the perfect couple image of themselves and Emma."

"Are you saying that Quinn is using Emma to pave his way for his own career?"

"Frankly speaking, they weren't lovers at all. I don't know what Emma is thinking, but Quinn this guy … Perhaps this was also the idea of the film and television companies. In any case, they weren't even in the relationship between a man and a woman. The reason why they are so openly in love affairs and have all sorts of interactions is for only one reason — to create public opinion and increase their popularity! "

"Your reasoning is quite convincing," I heard the director remind me again to not spout bad things about Eloi Company. "If Quinn didn't use Emma's words, I really wouldn't understand why he would only take the initiative to visit his girlfriend when he's frustrated."

Ms Mistie nodded her head proudly. From the doubtful point of the previous journey to her current emotional reasoning, she seemed to have completely treated herself as a detective and was completely immersed in her own world of reasoning.

But the sample was a little small," I reminded her. "After all, Miss Emma only had a total of six months to go from probation to imprisonment, and like you said, Quinn had only visited her three times during this period because he wanted to improve his popularity. This does not seem to be a clear indication that they are not a couple.

Mistie retorted, "If I remember correctly, the first time they met was in one of the dramas in Eloi Company — playing a male and a female lead. Then they 'claimed to love each other' at first sight and fell in love. Isn't this some kind of deliberate arrangement? "

"I don't know about that, but I don't think that Eloi Company will issue a statement just like that, right …" "Furthermore, even if Emma and Quinn are really very close and pretends to be lovers for mutual benefit, then what does this have to do with your father's murder case?"

"Since Miss Emma has a fake couple, then …" Ms Mistie opened a cupboard from the key this time — — Metal keys were rarely seen, "Then, she can also have a real lover."

She took a photograph from the cabinet, but the image was blurred and unfocused. However, I could still see the Miss Emma's appearance with a glance. After all, her appearance was somewhat unique in this world where plastic surgery ran rampant, and she had a kind of natural primitive beauty. Was it when she was young? "

"That's right, this is before Emma was discovered by the Eloi Company. She was born into an ordinary urban family and was still studying at an ordinary university. "

"Oh …" "The man next to her seems to be familiar with her." The man was not handsome, and was much worse than Quinn. He had one hand on Miss Emma's left shoulder, and the other hand of Miss Emma's right hand was holding onto his hanging hand.

"Who is he?" Ms Mistie suddenly asked me.

"I thought you knew?" Of course I don't know who he is.

Based on some investigations …" She showed me a lot of information, but I could tell at a glance that it was a bit of a catch, and that it came from very small media outlets. "Before Miss Emma became famous, she had a boyfriend in college, the one in the picture. But no one knew his name, and all his information seemed to have been erased except for the inadvertently flowing photos. Oh, perhaps it was erased by the Eloi Company. "After all …

She compared the boy with the Mr Quinn: "After all, if you were to choose someone as Emma's boyfriend, as a company member, would you choose this average and silly looking 'country bumpkin', or this elegant and unrestrained Mr Quinn?"

"Of course there's no need to hesitate," I smiled bitterly, "Once Miss Emma enters this industry, her freedom will no longer exist." I think I did not violate the director's request, because I only said that I wanted to enter "this industry", and not Eloi Company.

"Yes, so no matter how long the love between Miss Emma and this boy lasted, it would never be over. For his own future, even he should be wiped away! " Ms Mistie shouted fiercely, "Of course, there are also people who are obstructing her career and the future of Eloi Film And Television Company — my father!"

"You mean …" After going around so much, your father's business was actually caused by this boy? " I saw a faint line in the midst of these figures and events, keeping a secret balance. "Does your father know him?"
