Chapter 80: Ready to make a move (1)
Countless audiences, especially female audiences, cried bitterly in the cinema, and then brought their emotions to social platforms, causing viral spread.
Thanks to its strong staying power, "The Second Daughter" achieved a box office comeback, not only successfully recovering its investment, but also making considerable profits.
Shi Qing and her agent Xia Zhu were both delighted by this.
Xia Zhu's joy was more practical.
Looking at the ever-increasing discussion and the consistently high trending search terms in the Big Data Center, she knew that Shi Qing's current commercial value had far exceeded her expectations.
This is not just the success of a movie, but also the best proof of Shi Qing's strength to everyone after her rebirth from the ashes.
However, fame brings trouble.
When Shi Qing stood up again, the jealousy and hatred lurking in the shadows began to stir.
Shortly after the official announcement of Shi Qing joining the cast of "Time Stopped" came out, a storm of controversy was set off on the Internet again.
The overwhelming number of marketing accounts and internet trolls pointed their fingers directly at Shi Qing with precise and vicious words.
They claimed that there was an improper relationship between Shi Qing and director Feng Guohao, and even interpreted Feng's decision to give Shi Qing an S card on the show "Actors in Progress" and to finally cast her as the leading actress as evidence of "hidden rules."
I was wondering how this could be such a coincidence. An artist who's been hidden for three years gets an S card as soon as he appears on a show, and even gets to star in a movie directed by a famous director. Who would believe this without some background?
"Oh, that's how the entertainment industry is. Behind all the glamor, there's a lot of dirty work. Old man Feng Guohao, at his age, still wants to be with young girls?"
[Director Feng has a lifelong reputation, but is he going to lose it in his later years? If Shi Qing is innocent, produce the evidence!]
Similar remarks became increasingly popular, pushing Shi Qing to the forefront of public opinion again.
Shi Qing just frowned when she saw these malicious comments, but she was not too surprised.
She was already used to this kind of smear campaign in her previous life.
But this time, Xia Zhu was by her side.
When Xia Zhu saw this kind of news, he was furious.
She immediately mobilized the team to investigate, and soon the mastermind behind the scenes surfaced, and it turned out to be Yue Jingchen.
When Xia Zhu told Shi Qing this name, Shi Qing was even confused for a moment. She almost forgot this name.
Yue Jingchen is also a strange person.
Ever since he ran out of suitable scripts, he plunged headfirst into the live streaming industry. From his initial personal live streaming to the current group live streaming, he has been doing very well, and he has a bit of the attitude of "a man of insight is a hero".
It would be fine if he could just make money peacefully, but he started to act like a troublemaker again.
Yue Jingchen sat in the office of his studio, looking at the news about Shi Qing on the computer screen. His handsome face was distorted at the moment, and his eyes were filled with deep jealousy and unwillingness.
He and Shi Qing debuted almost at the same time and became popular because of their collaboration in a drama.
But Shi Qing is aloof and proud, and doesn't know how to curry favor with others.
He is very versatile and has a good relationship with everyone, and he thrives in the entertainment industry.
When he was at the peak of his career, he had thought about Shi Qing, but Shi Qing always kept her distance from him.
Later, He Dan got into trouble, Danhao Entertainment changed hands, and Shi Qing fell from grace, becoming a soft persimmon that everyone could bully.
He teamed up with the company to exploit her value at will.
He knew everything about Gao Panpan's actions against Shi Qing, and was even happy to see it happen.
While he was keeping Gao Panpan hanging, he was secretly waiting for Shi Qing to admit her mistake to him. He didn't mind Shi Qing becoming one of his many lovers and being his canary.
But subsequent developments were completely beyond his expectations.
That madman Gao Panpan was even more paranoid and crazy than he had imagined.
But Shi Qing, that seemingly weak woman, was actually as hard as a rock. She would rather be hidden in the snow than bow her head.
What he couldn't accept the most was that when he thought Shi Qing was trampled into the mud and would never be able to get up, she was able to miraculously stand up again!
And what about him? His backing was completely uprooted overnight.
After finally getting rid of Gao Panpan, the hot potato, he turned to Zhao Qi, but Zhao Qi also fell so quickly!
All this is because of Shi Qing!
If it weren't for her, how could he have ended up in this situation?
He could have easily made a lot of money and enjoyed fame and fortune with his talent and charm.
There is no need to be like this now, selling his body in the live broadcast room every day, smiling and greeting those aunties who give him small gifts, but he can't even catch a big fish that can really give him resources!
He just wanted to cause some trouble for Shi Qing, and now that Shi Qing had gotten the big job of Director Feng, many people were jealous, so he just took advantage of the chaos to step on her a little.
Yue Jingchen, who has weathered many crises safely, believes that he will not get into trouble this time.
However, no matter how well Yue Jingchen calculated, he underestimated Xia Zhu's efficiency and skills.
The last time Zhao Qi's incident caused a lot of uproar in the city, Xia Zhu and the others did not expose the scandals between Yue Jingchen, Zhao Qi, and Gao Panpan.
This really gives him face!
But he doesn't know how to cherish!
In that case, don't blame her for being rude!
"A man who targets an actress like this has such a terrible character!" Xia Zhu looked at the negative information about Yue Jingchen, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
She quickly mobilized her team and launched a counterattack with thunderous means.
First of all, she no longer cared about her dignity and directly revealed Yue Jingchen's history of rising to prominence in the entertainment industry over the years.
In particular, the scandal of him being "one man serving two women" and his dealings with Gao Panpan and her daughter were exaggerated and ridiculed to the utmost.
[Shocking! 18th-tier artist Yue Jingchen is caught up in the "mother-daughter donburi" scandal, and is reportedly maneuvering between Zhao Qi and Gao Panpan for resources!]
[He debuted at the same time as Shi Qing. Shi Qing focused on honing her acting skills, while he relied on selling his looks to rise to the top?]
I actually felt a little sorry for Gao Panpan. She was played around by a scumbag and ended up in a mental hospital.
For a time, Yue Jingchen became the laughing stock of the entire Internet.
His fan club, those girlfriend fans and mother fans who once cheered for him, are now collectively silent, and even a large number of fans have unfollowed him and turned against him.
This is not the end yet.
Xia Zhu's team followed the clues and reported the product quality issues in his live broadcast room, and even directly reported him for tax evasion to the relevant departments.
Two-pronged approach, one strike kills.
Yue Jingchen's live streaming career came to a halt instantly, all his accounts were blocked, his former glory was gone, and he became a complete pariah, unable to rise again.
At the same time, Wei Lanqiao was also not at peace.
She never expected that Shi Qing actually got the leading role in "Time Stopped"!
She and her agent originally thought that Liang Hui would be their biggest rival, so they had already prepared a large number of internet trolls and negative information against Liang Hui. But now, everything has come to nothing!
