Chapter 117 Your attitude is too obvious
Tong Yanzhen felt dizzy. After she came to her senses, she stood up and looked at Qi Zheng, suppressing her anger and said,
"Director Qi, she didn't meet the requirements for the female lead audition, but she was able to play the female lead. Isn't that unfair?"
"Why do you think I will definitely choose the male and female lead from the auditions?" Qi Zheng handed her the tablet without even looking at her. "I don't like others forcing me."
Tong Yanzhen lowered her head to look at the content on the tablet. It was the chat record in which she asked someone to release the press release that she would play the female lead.
Her face suddenly turned pale, and her aggressive aura collapsed.
Qi Zheng ticked the box on Jiang Yunyao's resume and wrote the three words "Xiao Hexuan". At the same time, he continued to say to Tong Yanzhen,
"Ms. Tong, I hope that when you return, you can thoroughly clarify to everyone the false news about you being cast as the female lead, Concubine Yin, in the film 'The Legend of Concubine Yin'."
The last four words completely shattered Tong Yanzhen's hope. She glanced at Qi Zheng and Jiang Yunyao with hatred and gritted her teeth, "Okay, okay..."
She dropped the tablet, picked up her bag, and walked out of the room in her high heels.
The producer looked at Tong Yanzhen's departing back and was dumbfounded, "This..."
Qi Zheng calmly handed him the tablet, then asked Jiang Yunyao to sit in Tong Yanzhen's seat.
The producer didn't understand what Qi Zheng was thinking. He glanced at the tablet and when he saw clearly, his eyes widened.
After a few seconds, he hurriedly looked up at the camera of the program crew, and was relieved to find that the lens was not aimed at him.
The producer then understood why Qi Zheng chose the well-known and popular Jiang Yunyao over the famous Tong Yanzhen when their acting skills were similar.
The fundamental reason is that Tong Yanzhen touched Qi Zheng's bottom line. Not only did she fail to keep the audition results confidential as agreed, she also took the initiative to buy press releases and publicize it extensively!
After Qi Zheng personally confirmed that Jiang Yunyao would play the female lead, Xiaojia was called in by the assistant director. She listened to the result in a daze and couldn't recover for a long time.
After she came to her senses, she saw Jiang Yunyao walking towards Tong Yanzhen's seat. The first thing she did was to move a new chair and rush over to replace the chair that Tong Yanzhen had sat on.
Everyone: “…”
Although there is a grudge, your displeasure is too obvious!
Will you really not get scolded for doing this?!
Everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Yunyao, wanting to see how she would deal with this situation.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yunyao not only did not stop it, but also touched Xiaojia's head indulgently, and then sat down calmly on the new chair.
Everyone: “…”
Awesome! They could already foresee how harsh the criticism from the actress’s fans would be!
It was similar to what everyone thought. Not only Jiang Yunyao's personal account, but even the program team's live broadcast room was affected.
[We advise those artists with low moral character to show some respect to our Sister Tong, otherwise we, Pearl, will make it impossible for you to survive in this industry!]
[Why waste time talking to a nobody like her? If you have the time, you should go find out who she's been sleeping with. She actually dared to team up with the director and use our Sister Tong for marketing!]
[Climbing into bed? Whose bed could she climb into! A woman this dirty, anyone could serve her? Maybe it's because she climbed into Qi Zheng's bed that he protects her so much!]
[Ha, I've long said Jiang Liangliang's behavior is bad, but the audience in the live broadcast room still desperately defended her. What a bunch of fools! Do you see clearly now? This woman's character doesn't deserve your kindness!]
[Poor Sister Tong, she was tricked by the crew into coming to support the show, but ended up being a stepping stone for some rubbish to rise to prominence!]
[Where are the investors in this drama? Come out and take a look at the artists they've chosen! Divest your investment now!]
In just three minutes, all the entries at the top of the hot search list were changed.
Nine out of the ten comments were about speaking up for Tong Yanzhen, and the remaining one was about exposing Jiang Yunyao's negative information and revealing the "dark side" of the audition.
Passersby were led by fans and internet trolls to join the crusade against Jiang Yunyao and Qi Zheng, insulting and cursing them and the crew, and even escalating the incident to Jiang Yunyao's parents and Xie Yixing.
Someone dug out the company where Jiang Yunyao's father worked, and a group of so-called "fans" rushed to report the company and forced the company to fire Jiang Yunyao's father.
Just when the entire Internet was cursing Jiang Yunyao, an entry named "Qimeng Entertainment" suddenly appeared and occupied the tenth place on the hot search list.
Unsure fans and passersby clicked on the post and discovered that Qimeng Entertainment had posted several updates at once, one of which was pinned to the top. The first image was a lawyer's letter that read:
"Our company has discovered that Ms. Tong Yan Zhentong hired a group of online trolls to slander and abuse our artist Jiang Yunyao. We ask Ms. Tong Yan Zhentong to apologize as soon as possible and clarify the rumors. Otherwise, our company will hold Ms. Tong Yan Zhentong legally responsible..."
This was followed by several pictures, which were clearly evidence that Huihuang Entertainment had purchased a large number of internet trolls.
The chat records clearly show that the internet trolls were used to lead the discussion and guide the public to sympathize with Tong Yanzhen and to drag down Jiang Yunyao at any means.
In addition, there are screenshots of transfer records, water army group chats, etc., which make it impossible for the people from Huihuang Entertainment to deny it.
Qimeng Entertainment then pinned another post, which directly attracted the public's attention. The entry "Qimeng Entertainment" also rose rapidly and soon became the second most searched topic.
There is only one video in the newly pinned post, which shows the whole process of the "Jiang Yunyao slapping the assistant of the actress" incident.
In the video, the camera is a little shaky, but if you look closely, you can tell that this is the film set. In the background are staff members moving props, and the protagonists focused on by the camera are Jiang Yunyao and Tong Yanzhen.
Jiang Yunyao sat on a mat with a script in her hand. Tong Yanzhen and an assistant stood in front of her.
The assistant was bossing Jiang Yunyao around. At first, Jiang Yunyao didn't stand up but pointed at the stool next to her.
However, Tong Yanzhen's assistant did not buy it. He sneered and mocked her, making it clear that Jiang Yunyao wanted to compromise.
Jiang Yunyao stood up helplessly, and at this moment, Xiaojia said something and Tong Yanzhen's assistant slapped Xiaojia in the face.
The camera shook a little and almost lost its grip, but in the last scene of the video, Jiang Yunyao held Xiaojia with one hand and slapped back the slap.
After the video was pinned, an uproar broke out across the Internet, and the public opinion in the live broadcast room also took a 180-degree turn in favor of Jiang Yunyao.
[Oh my god! This is exactly what happened in the first place! Jiang Yunyao is really good-tempered. If it were me, I would have released the clarification video long ago!]
[Is this the quality of a movie queen? She lets her people bully other artists? No wonder Qi Zheng didn't choose her!]
[Hahahahaha, this reversal made me laugh. While I was in the bathroom, the internet trolls were stripped down to their underwear!]
[The behavior of a certain actress and the people around her is so disgusting! They are completely mean-spirited! Luckily Jiang Yunyao slapped them back, so cool!]
