Shen Ningqi couldn't bear to listen any longer and hurriedly ran away.
The perfect image she had of Chen Zemin was shattered.
She felt that he was no different from those actors.
At this time, another revelation quietly began to circulate online.
A prominent Weibo user suddenly posted a message claiming that a certain movie star bullied a female actress on set and conspired with the director to ignore her, causing her severe psychological trauma.
That actress was of average appearance and was often jealous of the beautiful actresses. Relying on her good relationship with the director, she spoke ill of those actresses in front of him, and the director was deceived by her.
The exposé specifically emphasized that the director was highly professional, aloof but capable of teaching, and was simply misled by the actress.
[A movie star, average-looking, but has a good relationship with the director. Can we just get straight to the point?]
Although Song Xianyin's name wasn't explicitly written, every single word spelled out "Song Xianyin."
[And have you noticed that in the movie posters for the movies she's in, she always has to be in the center position, while the male leads' faces are either barely visible, or only shown from behind or in profile?]
I'd heard long ago that Song Xianyin was a cancer in the industry; she even cut Liang Muye's scenes before, saying he was stealing her thunder.
The influential blogger who broke the news didn't comment directly, but quietly liked the comments about Song Xianyin.
The rumors that Song Xianyin bullied the actors in the drama crew have thus been confirmed.
The next day, a male actor posted a video. The person in the video had red eyes and a trembling voice, as if he had been subjected to some kind of oppression.
"Yes, I greeted her, and she just ignored me and walked away. I may be a small-time actress, but doesn't she even have the most basic manners?"
“We’re all in the same production crew. We’re all young actors who got in one by one. Why does she, who got in through connections, have the right to act so high and mighty?”
"Everyone says that girls understand girls better, but what about her? She competes with other girls, and she ignores them when they greet her."
The video was shared a million times in a short period of time.
The director looked at the screen full of Song Xianyin in the news and was extremely pleased.
I'll edit some short clips tonight and ride her coattails.
Countless netizens flooded the official Weibo account, demanding an apology from Song Xianyin.
[Apologize, Ai Nan! Didn't you do background checks when selecting people? It's disgusting that you dared to use such a disgraced artist!]
Apologize! You have the nerve to bully others, but why don't you have the face to stand up and admit it?
[This is disgusting. Speaking only for me, I won't watch this show unless Song Xianyin leaves.]
The assistant director was getting anxious: "What should we do, director? This seems to have blown up a bit. What if the audience stops watching?"
The director leaned back in his chair and smiled. He said slowly and deliberately, "Wrong. This way, more people will watch."
"If they don't watch, how can they find fault with Song Xianyin? If they don't watch, how can they screenshot unflattering pictures of her? If they don't watch, how can they vent their anger by cursing her in the comments? If they don't watch, how can they edit videos containing her dirt?"
They will watch it, and more and more people will watch it.
Song Xianyin didn't care about this, but her mother cared terribly.
"Those netizens are really stupid. This is obviously orchestrated by online trolls. They're all idiots and fools," Song's mother said angrily.
Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Song Xianyin couldn't help but laugh out loud: "So you know about online trolls now?"
Song's mother snorted: "How could I not know? If I were to remain as backward as before, I wouldn't even know if you were bullied in the future."
"Alright, alright, I didn't take it to heart," Song Xianyin said dismissively.
"Yes! That's right. Don't take those people's words to heart. Will they give you money or anything like that? You don't need to give them any reason to be disrespectful." Song's mother became angrier as she spoke.
Just by listening to her voice, Song Xianyin could imagine her face turning red with anger.
"Alright, alright, it's so late, you should go to sleep. Don't you have to go to work tomorrow?" Song Xianyin comforted her with a smile.
Song's mother's voice was already trembling. She didn't want to care about these things. She thought that at her age, she wouldn't care about the things that children posted.
She's seen it all in her life.
But seeing the overwhelming malice online, she couldn't help but tear up.
She knew her daughter's personality; she knew how sensitive she was. She didn't know how many times she had secretly cried to become the way she was now.
Song's mother choked up and said, "I think you are the most beautiful actress in Country A, you know? You are even more beautiful than Zhou Hui'er. Anyway, I just think you are beautiful."
Song Xianyin felt a lump in her throat and responded softly, "You're so beautiful, of course I'm beautiful too."
Mrs. Song wiped away her tears: "Alright, alright, go to sleep now. You'll have to work again tomorrow."
She dared not continue; she had already reached her limit.
Sometimes, Song's mother would think that if she, as a mother, were prettier, and if her husband were better looking, would Song Xianyin have suffered so much malice?
But she really thought her daughter was very beautiful. Before she became a star, the classmates and teachers in the neighboring schools all said she was beautiful.
From childhood to adulthood, every photographer who took her to take pictures said she was photogenic. Why is it different once she enters the entertainment industry?
Her daughter still has the same face.
The trending topic was quickly removed, but netizens made a note of Song Xianyin in their notebooks.
Love doesn't last, but hate does.
"Director, the trending topic has been removed," the girl said cautiously to Shen Juan.
Shen Juan didn't speak. He was adjusting the lights with his head down, and everyone around him was watching him nervously.
The lighting has been adjusted countless times, but Director Shen Juan is still not satisfied with the male and female leads. They don't know what kind of feeling he wants.
The male and female leads stood face to face, their smiles stiff; they had filmed this scene over a hundred times.
The male lead was fine, but the female lead was so nervous she almost cried. She was terrified of dragging the whole crew down.
Seeing how nervous she was, the male lead whispered to comfort her, "Don't rush, the more anxious you are, the less the director wants to feel it."
The film crew that Shen Juan worked on was the most tiring and stressful one he had ever been on, but this was the second time he had filmed a movie with Shen Juan, so he was more relaxed than her.
"But the director doesn't seem to be satisfied with me. He hasn't smiled at me at all." The girl's voice was trembling with tears.
She couldn't imagine how awkward it would be if she appeared in a movie in this state.
The actor next to him whispered, "He hasn't smiled at anyone else either, just treat it as practice."
That being said, she broke down in tears yesterday because she didn't perform well.
Shen Juan's acting is too grueling, but if you can stay in Shen Juan's crew, everyone will experience a qualitative improvement.
