Hu Yiran, the lead actress, had a significant role to play. Substituting her mid-film would not only delay the filming, but also negatively impact the ratings. After careful consideration, Director Yang decided to give Hu Yiran some face. Unexpectedly, she not only refused but also acted arrogantly. Her attitude deeply disgusted Director Yang, who decided to say goodbye to Hu Yiran once filming was complete.
He doesn't want any actors with bad tempers in his crew. Who can he blame if they don't cherish the opportunity given to them?
Hu Yiran, belatedly realizing her mistake, found herself in a state of semi-popularity after filming "Shark Cop." Her form wasn't good, and her subsequent films weren't as successful. She was quickly outshined by rising stars, leaving her feeling lost. By the time she realized the truth, it was too late to regret. It was her own arrogance that ruined her path to stardom. But that's a story for another time.
Hu Yiran returned to the crew to act, and unexpectedly found that the atmosphere was weird, a kind of weirdness that was hard to describe.
The few people who used to have a good relationship with her stopped talking to her, spoke coldly, and their attitudes were not as good as before.
Everyone in the entertainment industry is a shrewd person, and she quickly understood why she was being treated differently. It was all because of the director's changed attitude.
There are countless celebrities in the entertainment industry like Hu Yiran, who are neither famous nor infamous, and whose power is dispensable. Even the biggest names are just pawns in the hands of the powerful. Capital has always been the sole decision maker, and celebrities have no right to play cards.
Hu Yiran has HG as his backer and still has a say in some other small-budget production companies. But for the production company behind "Shark Cop", it's a different story.
HG Company only sold the adaptation rights of "Shark Cop", and the producers spent a lot of money to buy the adaptation rights with the intention of promoting newcomers and selling it to the TV station for a better price.
Qi Yaoxuan is the handsome young man favored by the producers, and Hu Yiran and Chen Qin are just doing HG a favor.
Director Yang's voice determined the attitude of the investors behind the scenes, and it was clear that the investors were extremely dissatisfied with Hu Yiran. His original scenes were deleted again and again, and he was eventually reduced to a pendant of the male lead.
Ultimately, it's the artists themselves who are causing the trouble. Hu Yiran is right to want to destroy Ji Wan, but at least he should have waited until the show was over before doing anything to him. We're all in this together now, and if you overturn the table, you deserve to be left without food.
Hu Yiran was arrogant and instead of reflecting on his mistakes, he picked a fight with Ji Wan.
During dinner, she blocked Ji Wan in the dressing room and said viciously, "Are you very proud?"
Xu Jing was speechless and pointed at the camera not far away.
Hu Yiran understood immediately, then slowed down his tone and said, "Ji Wan, I'll treat you to a meal. If you have anything to say, let's go to the restaurant and talk."
"good."
Hu Yin chose a more upscale and private restaurant in Hengdian and asked for a private room.
Xu Jing looked at the menu and unceremoniously ordered a long list of expensive dishes. Hu Yiran's face turned green after reading it. To save face, she said, "Waiter, serve the food."
While the dishes were being served, Hu Yiran angrily asked, "Are you going too far?"
"Who's going too far, big sister?" Xu Jing sipped his tea and said slowly, "You hired a troll army to destroy my reputation, and I should be grateful to you, right? If you have the generosity, there's a Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan. You can move it out, sit on it, and go save all living beings."
"You little bitch, you can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth." Hu Yiran cursed, "If you hadn't been blocking my way, would I have bothered to mess with you? You had to bump into me, can you blame me?"
"Sister, you have so many rivals, how can you be sure that I am the one who messed with you?" Xu Jing looked at his long nails that were almost affecting his daily life. It was time to cut them.
Hu Yiran was moody and tried to control his emotions. "Who else could it be besides you? Don't play dead. You did it and you're afraid to tell me?"
Xu Jing said with a half-smile: "How much do I earn in a month? Where can I afford to hire a group of internet trolls?"
"The sponsor behind you is rich, isn't he?"
"You know it again." Xu Jing was speechless. Does this person have paranoia? She always has reasons to excuse herself. It seems that everyone in the world is harming her, but she is the only one who is innocent!
"Isn't it?" Hu Yiran looked Ji Wan up and down. This pervert was indeed beautiful. Who knew which village this vixen came from, but she'd already charmed men like crazy in just a few years of her debut. "Director Yang was bribed by you, too, right?"
"You have a dirty mind, so you think everyone else is just as corrupt as you? Just because you're incompetent, you mock others for taking evil paths. What do you gain by stepping on me? Chen Qin and you are from the same generation, right? She's already been cast as the female lead in several dramas. What about you? Have you ever reflected on your own problems?"
"Shut up." Hu Yiran was so angry that she spat out blood. "It's not my turn to lecture you, bitch. You should worry about yourself. If you don't take good care of yourself, your sponsor will dislike you sooner or later."
"As expected, people with a bad heart see everything as dirty." Xu Jing poured a glass of water, stood up, and splashed it on Hu Yiran's face.
"Ah, you bitch! I'm going to fight you!" Hu Yiran waved her hands, ready to grab her hair and slap her. Xu Jing grabbed her head and pushed her onto the sofa.
"Why bother?" His eyes were cold, and his words cut through her precarious, shaky self-esteem like a lancet. "Aging and losing your looks? You're talking about you, aren't you, sister? You've lost your mind with all the plastic surgery, and you think the face you see in the mirror is your natural face? If you were still a third-tier star by the time you were thirty, I'd have retired long ago. You're a generation behind the times, and you have no talent at all. You have nothing, so what are you doing in the entertainment industry?"
"you……"
"What are you talking about? You don't even want to compete with your peers anymore because you can't win, right? You're looking for a fight with me because you think I'm a soft persimmon that can be easily picked on and no one can back me up, right?"
Xu Jing revealed Hu Yiran's intentions in just a few words, and Hu Yiran's face turned red and blue with anger. If she just cleaned up a little, she could go on stage to perform. She was so angry at his mouth that she pointed at him, her mind empty and unable to say anything.
"Focus on improving your professional skills, and less on trolling. Others troll people with high traffic, but why are you trolling people below you? You can't win, so you're taking it out on people below you, right?" Xu Jing laughed, "Did you get any business from trolling? Did the director approve of your acting? Can you stop living in the filter your fans put on you every day and examine yourself more? Look at what the public is saying about you. I, the third female lead, get more attention than you do. Do you still have the nerve to do that?"
"That's because you have a good personality." Hu Yiran retorted: "You are beautiful, and many people look at you."
Thank you, at least you know his strengths. Xu Jing is not a saintly father either. From the moment Hu Yiran came in, his phone started recording. He was just waiting to send Hu Yiran to the "West Heaven" as soon as the show was over.
Few people in Vanity Fair are clean. To be kind to fools is to be cruel to oneself. He never does anything unnecessary.
