“You’re Yu Han’s manager?” Sun Li was shocked.
As a famous top manager in the industry, she had sent a few people under her to the throne of the Heavenly King and Queen in just a few years. Whether the artists were newcomers, second-tier or third-tier celebrities, they all wanted to sign under her. Yet, He Meng signed Yu Han without a word.
“Yes.” He Meng knew what he was surprised about, but she didn’t explain much. She asked directly, “How are you going to deal with the current situation online?”
“I didn’t do my job well and implicated your Yu Han.” Sun Li was a little embarrassed. “Don’t worry, I’ll get the production team’s official account to make a statement later.”
“I’m afraid we won’t be able to stop her fans if we only make a statement.” He Meng thought for a moment. “I have a proposal here. What do you think?”
10 minutes later, Yu Han’s account, which had been blasted, suddenly posted the latest update.
The passersby and He Yu’s fans rushed in. Just as they were about to scold her, they saw Yu Han repost the blog post posted by the marketing account. She added: [@Director Sun Li, the contract I signed clearly said that I would act as the third female lead. How did it become the first female lead? Are you playing with a contract scam? We agreed to film a certain number of scenes and I would only do those scenes. I won’t film any extra scenes, unless… you give me more money.]
Everyone was stunned. When the production team announced the role, they clearly said that He Yu was the first female lead. If Yu Han really snatched He Yu’s role, she should have also taken the first female lead role. How did it become the third female lead role?
[Please explain clearly what’s going on with the role-snatching!]
Yu Han specially picked out this comment and replied: [The investor: I’m rich, but I’m not stupid.] In other words, why would the investor choose her, a newcomer, to be the first female lead in a commercial blockbuster?
Three minutes later, Sun Li reposted Yu Han’s post on his personal account with the caption: [Go memorize your script. You’re just a child. Don’t think about such nonsense.] He even attached an emoji: [I don’t have any money, but you can take my life.jpg]
One had to know that as a middle-aged director, Director Sun’s account style was basically to post some tranquil landscape photos, afterthoughts about certain books or calligraphy works. Passersby, especially his fans, did not know that he had such a lively side.
Hence, when he posted this, the comments below were all led astray.
[Director Sun, did your account get hacked?]
[Does your mother know that you’re so lively?]
[Director Sun, if you’re kidnapped, just blink.]
Sun Li glanced at the comments and couldn’t help but reply one by one:
[What’s a hacker account?]
[My mother has always said that I’m naughty since I was young.]
[If someone has been kidnapped, you should call the police.]
Because of his reply, the comments section became lively again. He Yu’s fans were still relentlessly asking for the reason. [Since she wasn’t replaced, why didn’t you let our sister act as the first female lead?]
Sun Li chose a reply: [Ask her.]
Just as they thought that this matter would come to an end, but they did not expect someone else to repost it and lead the matter to a higher climax.
Wang Mian reposted Sun Li’s post: [I’m such a big first female lead. Why am I missing?]
The moment she posted this, the Internet immediately exploded.
Who was Wang Mian? She was the most popular actress at the moment!
She had switched from the television dramas to the movies four years ago. Her first movie had a good reputation and great box office sales. She had successfully won two of the top three film awards in the country. Some time ago, she had also won the Best Actress Award for her other works.
When the photo of Wang Mian holding the Best Actress Award was sent back to the country, her popularity and commercial value immediately soared. Wang Mian was like a benchmark among the young actresses. She was a rare special existence that could win awards and boost box office sales at the same time. She was also who He Yu wanted to become.
When He Yu said that she wanted to act in a movie, many marketing accounts in the industry started to advocate that she was the next Wang Mian. However, advocacy was still advocacy. In front of the real Wang Mian, He Yu simply wasn’t enough.
The moment the news that Wang Mian was confirmed to be participating in the sci-fi movie “Tomorrow” was released, it immediately seized the trending searches on various platforms and suppressed the news that He Yu’s role was snatched away.
He Yu saw the news and smashed something again. She cursed, “Wang Mian, that b*tch. Why didn’t she stay overseas to film her movies? Why did she come back to get involved!”
