Several people suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started shouting at Chen Mai on the stage!
"You are not clean at all! You are a psychopath! Everyone in your village knows it! Why do you deserve to play the leading role?!"
"You are all liars! You are deceiving the audience! You invited a dirty woman to play such an innocent movie! Disgusting!"
"Are mentally ill people also actors? Why don't you say anything? Have you really been raped by a man? You are simply polluting the sacred film industry!"
"She looks like this, so it's no wonder that other men bully her. She must have deliberately seduced him! I guess she seduced more than one man!"
"Chen Mai! Why don't you dare to answer?! Are you acting in this movie because you have an affair with your director?!"
The cinema suddenly became chaotic.
Someone even took a bag of melon seed shells and threw them at the stage!
Someone is splashing water!
Chen Mai stood on the stage, his face pale and trembling all over! The flowers in his hands fell to the ground with a thud, and the delicate and beautiful flowers were dirty and broken...
Yu Li and Lu Guanshan took action immediately.
First, we had to ask the cinema to be closed and make sure the troublemaker was caught!
Then go protect Xiaomai and stand fast!
The director and others did not expect this to happen.
"Chen Mai, what's going on? You..."
It was supposed to be a good curtain call, but it turned out like this!
The director is also very anxious and not fast!
With those dirty words still ringing in his ears, Chen Mai suddenly burst into tears and shouted, "I'm not wrong! I didn't seduce anyone! I'm trying to live! What right do you have to scold me?"
Yu Li rushed over to hold her hand, but a glass bottle suddenly hit her!
He rubbed Yu Li's forehead, and the sudden pain made her scream.
Lu Guanshan sternly told the person in charge of the cinema to close the door and not let anyone in. Then he turned around and saw his wife being hit on the head by a glass bottle!
He took a few steps over, pinned the man who smashed the bottle to the ground, and handcuffed his hands!
Then he went to see Yu Li anxiously.
"Wife, your head is injured!"
Yu Li touched it and said hurriedly, "It's okay, just a scratch. I'll take Sister Xiao Mai away first, and you are responsible for catching the person!"
That's all for now.
Lu Guanshan looked at her forehead. Although there was no bleeding, it was obviously red. His heart was instantly ached.
But both of them remained calm and hurried to do the most important things.
Soon, Yu Li brought Xiao Mai, Director 뀪꼐, and the producer to a safe lounge.
Tears were streaming down Xiaomai's eyes. She tried hard to control herself but couldn't help shaking.
"It's not my fault, it's not my fault..."
Before, she always blamed herself, and almost drove herself to death.
Yu Li quickly touched her face and wiped her tears: "Of course it's not your fault, it's their fault! Just like when someone trampled on our mountains and rivers, was it our fault? No, it's their fault! So even if we are inferior, we must find a way to beat these bastards so that they will never dare to cause trouble again! Sister, you have to believe in yourself!"
The darkness will eventually pass, and sooner or later we will reach the place where the sun shines brightly.
Xiao Mai listened to Yu Li's words and gradually calmed down.
The director and producer probably guessed what happened after seeing Xiao Mai's situation.
"Chen Mai, have you really been sick?"
Yu Li did not interrupt, this was something Xiao Mai needed to face on his own.
Xiao Mai sorted out his thoughts, sat up straight, and admitted frankly: "I was almost bullied by my cousin, but he didn't succeed because I fought back desperately. But my grandmother and uncle oppressed me for a long time because of him, and I couldn't bear it. For a period of time, I was indeed not mentally clear enough.
This is indeed my personal experience, but I think I have recovered now. It is also because of this experience that I love acting very much. When I cried my heart out in front of the camera for the first time, I decided to continue to be an actor.
Director, you have seen my performance. I am trying very hard to do everything well. What happened before was not my fault. The bad guys have been brought to justice, and I deserve to live well in the sun. "
The director looked solemn, exchanged glances with the producer, and finally said.
"The profession of an actor is different from what you think. We see your efforts, but the release of a movie needs the support of the audience. What happened today is bound to spread, and how the audience will evaluate you is something we cannot control.
If the audience's evaluation is negative, then no matter how good your acting is, it will have a very negative impact on the box office of the movie. When we choose actors, we will consider the individual's reputation.
Let's put it this way. If this incident doesn't have a big impact on you, we'll continue our cooperation. If it does, we'll just replace the actor for the movie you're working on."
Xiao Mai felt a chill in his heart.
Sure enough, reality is not that easy.
Even though she knew she had done nothing wrong, the rumors would not let her go.
Rumors...When the rumors spread, her and Xie Pingchun's future would be in jeopardy.
Her heart almost collapsed, but she finally managed to say, "Thank you, director. I will keep working hard."
Yu Li, who was listening nearby, felt more relieved.
These are actually nothing.
No matter how much Xiao Mai wants to be an actor, dirtier and worse things will happen to him in the future!
Wait for the director, producer and others to leave.
Xiao Mai clenched his fists and suddenly said to Yu Li stubbornly: "I want to speak up for myself and explain myself. I want to explain for every girl who has been bullied! I want to take the lead in the resistance!"
Yu Li looked at her with admiration: "Sister, you make me feel at this moment that you are really recovered and healed! There is nothing that can really defeat our backbone. As long as we don't give up, there will be a ray of hope."
Xiao Mai came back to her senses and wiped the wound on her forehead: "I don't want to disappoint your expectations of me. As long as you are here, I will keep fighting and I will live beautifully. Li Zi, thank you!"
As he spoke, Lu Guanshan came over with anti-inflammatory medicine and gauze in his hands. He couldn't see anything else and went straight to treat Yu Li's injury.
There is heaviness and worry in his eyes!
In front of Xiao Mai, Yu Li felt a little embarrassed: "It's just a scratch, it's okay."
Lu Guanshan treated her carefully, applying medicine and gauze, so she was not worried.
Then he said to Xiao Mai: "All those who caused the trouble have been arrested, especially those who hit people with glass bottles, which is a crime of intentional injury, and they will be detained for ten strokes of the cane.
These people all said that they heard about you from others. Even when they were detained, they insisted that it was true. Rumors are the most difficult to check, especially the matter of Chen Dawei being in prison. The village was in a big commotion at the time. Maybe someone in the village really spread it. You will have to face this matter sooner or later. Now that it has been exposed in advance, it is better to find a way to solve it. "
Covering your mouth blindly will cause more trouble in the future.
Xiao Mai nodded: "Okay, thank you."
Right now, they can't decide what to do.
Because everything depends on how far the rumor spreads.
In the evening, Yu Li took Xiao Mai home and let her have a good rest first.
Afterwards, she used her money and connections to secretly follow the situations in major newspapers and magazines to see who was deliberately spreading rumors!
If it were just a rumor among ordinary people, it wouldn't have spread so deeply and widely!
As expected, Yu Li guessed it.
That night, someone deliberately spent money to buy the most prominent page and anonymously criticized the heroine of a recently released movie!
"He was a playboy and a lover, and even seduced his own cousin. After seducing him, he sent him to prison."
"She looks restless, otherwise how come she can be the heroine and no one else can be?"
"If you are mentally ill, don't come here to hurt others. A dirty woman is not worthy of acting in a movie!"
Some people even wrote anonymously about their affairs with this actress, and between the lines, they said how slutty and bitchy this actress was... the words were too disgusting to read!
Faced with the overwhelming rumors, the director directly mentioned that he would never work with Xiao Mai again.
The investment in the movie is huge and no one can afford to lose.
Even new movies have been affected.
Xiao Mai tried to explain.
She called the radio station and explained that she was a victim and had not led anyone astray.
Who knew that the radio host deliberately asked her for the sake of popularity, why do those people only bully you and not others? Is it because you are being deceived without knowing it?
Xiao Mai was desperate. She found that sometimes resistance was like throwing a stone into the sea, and the splashes quickly disappeared.
Yu Li has been busy these two days.
Until the girls in the village she contacted who had been hurt like Xiao Mai stood up together.
Organized by Yu Li, a dozen lesbians organized a radio program together.
The name of this episode is very special.
"Are we who have been hurt wrong?"
The leader is Chen Mai.
She slowly recounted the times when Chen Dawei had tried to hurt her and threatened her.
Tell about those dark moments.
"My grandmother was partial to boys and favored girls. My parents didn't dare to resist. I was hungry and beaten since I was a child. I did the most work and ate the least, just because I was a girl. Even when my cousin bullied me, I had to endure it. I endured it until I got sick, but I was still the one who was wrong.
Later, someone rescued me and gave me a way out. I thought I could survive, but there were still many voices asking me to die. I wondered, should I really die? Because I am a girl, because I look better, do I not have the right to live a good life? "
One by one, the girls talked about their experiences from childhood to adulthood.
"Because of him, I dare not walk that road. His eyes, his teasing movements, his threatening words make me unable to raise my head."
"They said it was because I was too well developed and would attract men's attention. They said he was just joking, but I didn't laugh. I felt painful and humiliated. I didn't want this!"
"People with good looks are bullied. I am not good-looking, and I am also bullied. He scolded me for being ugly and said that bullying me is a sign of respect. I went back and told my parents, and they said that I was daydreaming. Who would like to see me when I am so ugly? I don't understand. He is also ugly, so why does no one attack him? Why is everything he does right? Is it because he is a man?"
"People who criticize us, people who curse us, if such a thing happens to you, can you really swallow your anger and live like a mouse?"
