Chapter 720: The Stepmother (24)

The other party was also very happy. They passed the first scene and then passed several more scenes. The director's expression finally improved, and the low pressure caused by the director's temper completely dissipated. At first, some people thought that Wen Wan was not good enough, but these few scenes completely shattered that idea. They even took the initiative to approach Wen Wan. After all, as long as Wen Wan did not do anything stupid, she was destined to become popular. It was just a matter of time.

That celebrity, known as the most talented actor, had previously only worked in idol dramas. This was his first foray into film, and he was being heavily supported by investors. Yet, he was defeated by a newcomer and publicly criticized in front of so many people. Naturally, his mentality became distorted.

He started posting long, ambiguous messages online, not daring to mention the director or the crew, only sarcastically saying he had been wronged. His fans don't know how they interpreted it, but it's highly likely that his team contacted his big fans. After that, the fans launched a frenzied attack on Wen Wan, even more serious than before, and even photoshopped a funeral portrait of Wen Wan.

The agent told Wen Wan that the public relations team had also been involved, but it wasn't very effective.

Wen Wan said there was no need to worry.

That project didn't even finish filming one scene. Because there wasn't a single scene, Director Chen was so worried that he lost his hair.

Then, the negative news about that traffic suddenly broke out one afternoon, without any warning.

School bullying.

A couple was dating, and the woman became pregnant and had an abortion.

Prostitution, etc.

Even their plastic surgery records were dug up, something their PR team never expected. Then came a series of explosions, and those things were even found on the trafficker's own computer. Who told this person to be a pervert, to record all these videos he made and keep them for his own enjoyment.

As a result, the endorsement was quickly removed, and the matter was reported to the authorities. From the fire to the complete ban, it only took a few hours.

Even their accounts were shut down. Netizens were so engrossed in the drama that they were practically begging for more gossip, while the opposing fans were completely dumbfounded. One second they were fighting, and the next they turned around and found their own foundation gone.

But there wasn't even a chance to deceive himself into thinking he was wronged, because the evidence was just too hard to ignore.

As a result, most fans unfollowed him, while a small number of extreme fans believed in him and thought he must be innocent. This continued until he was taken away by the police for investigation, and soon the police report was released, bringing the matter to a close.

Director Chen immediately removed this person, even feeling relieved that the person hadn't finished filming a scene. He even demanded a large sum of money from the person's company as compensation for breach of contract, and then started looking for other actors.

Because of this incident, the production team suspended casting for half a month.

Wen Wan took some time to finish filming the last episode of the variety show, and then went back to school to take several exams, including the midterms.

The final results were all pretty good. Although they weren't exceptionally outstanding and ranked in the top few, they were at least passing.

Some of them were even quite good.

Many online trolls are targeting her grades, trying to mock her for putting on a show, or even accusing her of wasting her studies.

When her final report card was leaked online, trolls pointed out that she had barely passed a few subjects and criticized her for poor grades. However, before the company's PR team could even respond, her classmates at school countered her online.

Because one of the subjects is advanced mathematics.

Almost half of the students in the entire grade failed the test; it was insanely difficult.

Moreover, Wen Wan later rehearsed plays, filmed movies and variety shows, and often missed classes at school. She still passed despite missing a lot of classes. If she is considered trash, then those who worked hard to attend classes but still failed must be the worst of the worst.

The haters were relentlessly attacked and eventually had to delete their posts, continuing to attack Wen Wan's rise to power. However, the company's public relations team was not entirely useless; they started deleting posts and hiring online trolls. In fact, they initially planned to create a persona for Wen Wan that depicted her as having a mutual and irresistible relationship with the richest man, but Wen Wan rejected it.

Please, she had no intention of falling in love with that old man. After completing her mission, she still needed to find a handsome guy to date. She even wanted her PR team to publish a press release about the richest man coercing a respectable woman, but her agent and boss both rejected it.

This is the Gu family; who would dare to release such a press release without risking their life?

Director Chen quickly found a new actress, a talented one, and her scenes with Wen Wan went very smoothly.

This film is a story about the hardships and resilience of women, and Chun Ya, played by Wen Wan, is the absolute protagonist. She is a typical microcosm of this era. Therefore, Wen Wan does not have a glamorous appearance. Her skin is painted a waxy yellow, and her hair is washed with soap for a long time, making it extremely dry. You can't even recognize Wen Wan's original appearance. She doesn't rely on her looks at all.

Moreover, the age range is very large, from girlhood to middle age and finally to old age, experiencing friendship, family affection and fleeting love, with family affection as the main focus.

Wen Wan's acting skills kept improving, which was the most terrifying thing. Even Director Chen was surprised. So he frantically squeezed Wen Wan's potential and made higher and higher demands on her. Some scenes were even filmed dozens of times, just to get a certain detail or feeling.

Wen Wan ate and slept almost entirely on the film set and rarely went home.

I didn't see the male and female leads either.

Half a year passed, and Wen Wan finally finished filming her last scene. Chun Ya, whom she played, finally ushered in a new era, but her life also came to an end.

When they closed their eyes, the scene was completely silent, and many people were even wiping away tears.

The director yelled "Cut!", and Wen Wan quickly detached herself from the role, then breathed a huge sigh of relief; it was finally over.

Director Chen: "Congratulations on wrapping up filming."

They gave Wen Wan a very generous wrap-up gift, and she burst into tears of joy.

Back home, she finally took a clean shower, washed her hair thoroughly, changed into warm and comfortable clothes, and began her uneventful life, even ceasing to force Wen Wan to train through the system.

The agent didn't get any other work for Wen Wan either. He was thinking of waiting until the movie was released and Wen Wan's popularity rose before taking on any other work, so that Wen Wan could focus on completing her studies.

Aside from attending classes, I began to enjoy my rare moment of leisure.

Wen Wan and Xiao Ya's relationship quickly warmed up, and the two became very good friends. Xiao Ya even came to visit Wen Wan from time to time.

She also has a very good relationship with Gu's mother, and they often meet up for tea to chat about cosmetics and fashion.

Her relationship with the male lead is also quite good. In fact, as long as she behaves herself and doesn't cross his bottom line or do anything like what happened in the original story, there won't be any problems for him.

The two could even eat and chat peacefully. Whenever Wen Wan saw his face, she felt really relaxed. Moreover, Wen Wan discovered that the male lead was actually a good cook, so she decisively asked him to cook more, served him tea and water, and decided to work on his love line, get closer to the female lead, and then act as a matchmaker for the two.
