Gu Zhiya's reputation has collapsed. Although her actions haven't reached the point where she has to leave the entertainment industry, her public image has been completely ruined. Not only has it been confirmed that she altered the script, but it has also been revealed that she bullied her peers at a young age. It's really hard to know what to say.
Although the two girls did not provide any evidence of bullying and did not speak out again after being warned by Qiao Leyi with a lawyer's letter, netizens' impression of the mother and daughter did not improve. They felt that their behavior was very domineering and that they were taking advantage of the powerless.
Ultimately, it was because the previous fans were too arrogant, almost attacking and belittling every actress, and of course, this was also due to Xie Dong's actions.
Now, Qiao Leyi has tried every possible means, but she still can't salvage their image in the eyes of netizens.
"Why did Yuan Chunyu have to make such a fuss? Does he not want to stay in the entertainment industry anymore?" Gu Zhiya smashed things, her expression extremely crazed.
Qiao Leyi said coldly, "Who told you to change the script for no reason? She got her doctorate and plans to become a drama school teacher. She doesn't care about your backing at all!"
"Then... could we offer him some benefits to make him admit that he photoshopped the screenshot?"
"He's aiming for a government job; do you think he'd leave such a stain on his record?"
"Then what should we do?"
"What should you do? Apologize sincerely, then stay quiet for a while. Once the hype dies down, make a well-received film, and your popularity will naturally return."
Gu Zhiya was displeased: "Does that mean I'll have to remain silent for a long time?"
"This is a good time to hone your acting skills."
"Mom, something's not right. This is escalating so quickly. Someone must be pulling strings behind the scenes. Is it Song Xinghe? And Lan Mengfan? How dare they scheme against me!"
In fact, Qiao Leyi found out about more than just these two companies. Only now did she realize that she and her daughter had unknowingly offended so many people in the entertainment industry. In that case, this setback wasn't such a bad thing. At least they weren't forced to leave the industry. It was just a change of script. Children don't understand. They just wanted to film some beautiful love stories. In time, they would be forgiven.
Ultimately, actors have to let their work speak for itself. There are precedents in the industry for this. Several actors who were almost forced to leave the industry due to scandals were eventually redeemed by a good work or a good role.
Zhiya is still young; they can afford to wait!
It's just that these are the best years for a girl to develop, and it's a pity that they're going to be wasted like this. She will definitely not let it go.
Watching Gu Zhiya cry and apologize to netizens and the production crew in the video, Song Xia snorted coldly: "They're quite clever."
Xie Dong frowned: "Are we just going to let them get away like this? What if they come back in a few years with their work? Wouldn't all our efforts have been for nothing?"
"It's not that easy for them to come back. Just wait and see, something will soon hold them back."
Although Xie Dong didn't know what it was about, he figured it was always right to listen to Senior Song.
"Speaking of which, that palace drama is about to premiere during the summer vacation, and the distributor wants to invite Xinghe to the press conference."
"They've only appeared in a few episodes, yet they still reserved a seat for Xinghe at their press conference?"
"I guess they saw that Xinghe was a huge hit this year. I asked about the list of invitees, and Gu Zhiya wasn't invited."
"Then let's go. It's only a day. Otherwise, people will have something to say about Xinghe getting arrogant after he's become popular."
"Yes." Xie Dong also agreed to go. Speaking of which, isn't the movie that Senior Song filmed last year about to be released?
When Sister Hua came to inform her of this, Song Xia suddenly remembered, and coincidentally, her movie's press conference happened to be in the same city as Xinghe's.
Both director Sui Kai and lead actor Zhang Xian had high expectations for "Escape from the Cage". When the promotional trailer was released, netizens realized that Song Xia was also one of the lead actors, and that she was brought in at the last minute to fill in after the actors who had already been hired reneged on their contracts.
Although the production team did not disclose who the actor who broke the contract at the last minute was, netizens still greatly admired Song Xia's last-minute rescue, considering that she had not acted for more than 20 years, and yet she stepped in to play such a complex role.
At the press conference, a reporter asked her a very pointed question: "When you took on this role, weren't you afraid of messing it up?"
Song Xia deftly replied, "If the director dares to invite me, what wouldn't I dare to act in? You should ask Director Sui that question."
Director Sui immediately chimed in: "I personally have great respect for Teacher Song's acting skills. In fact, Teacher Song has indeed given us a great surprise. As for whether Teacher Song's acting skills have declined, no, I should say whether I have captured the brilliance of Teacher Song's acting skills, that is something that everyone needs to find out from the movie."
Then the male lead, Zhang Xian, started cracking jokes and quickly changed the subject.
A reporter also focused on him: "Mr. Zhang, regarding the nominations and awards, you've been nominated for many years without winning. Are you confident that you can win an award with this drama?"
"That's an interesting question. Everyone wants to win an award, but I still hope this performance will be well-received!"
"So, does Song Xinghe have a role in it?"
Song Xia smiled and replied, "It's you again, entertainment reporter. You seem very concerned about my daughter and me. But since you asked, I'll answer anyway: Director Sui invited me, not my daughter Xinghe. Do you think that I have to bring Xinghe with me when I make my comeback? Am I that domineering?"
Regardless of whether it is true or not, you can't give such a definite answer in this kind of setting. Besides, this is a press conference for "Escape from the Cage," why keep asking these kinds of questions? Shouldn't you be asking about things related to the movie?
Many journalists have remembered this entertainment company. They should stay away from them in the future to avoid being implicated. Actress Song is not the kind of pretentious artist who comes out to make money without any talent. She has many projects in hand now. She doesn't want to be interviewed anymore.
After the reporter was pushed off the stage, the atmosphere became much more harmonious, and the conversation mainly revolved around the film itself.
With the support of two top actors and a suspenseful escape drama script, the film attracted a lot of attention during the promotion period. In particular, when the first trailer was released, the two leads' expressive eyes made people want to explore it more closely.
Qiao Leyi was furious at home. She had a feeling this script was pretty good, so how did Song Xia end up with it? Why didn't anyone tell her?
Could it be that they, mother and daughter, were destined to be outdone by Song Xia and her daughter?
Impossible! Although her husband had feelings for Song Xia at first, he still married her in the end, didn't he? Now, Song Xia and her daughter are just relying on each other for survival. How can they compare to her perfect family?
Qiao Leyi had an idea. Since she couldn't surpass it in film and television works for the time being, what about variety shows?
