Starting Over in the Entertainment Circle (NPH)

Chapter 28: Slanders can kill

<Qing Shi Ming Yue> and Yan Xi were always trending, but Yan Xi didn’t pay too much attention to it. She was either binge-watching dramas with Xiao Qi or reading the scripts that had been chosen for her. Because Yan Xi’s ancient costume could highlight her beauty and exceptional temperament even more which brought about a massive discussion, so these two movies were medieval movies.

One was a xianxia drama, it was considered a drama made by the Gong conglomerate. Only the male lead was not yet decided and the rest of the main characters were basically the long-term celebrities signed under Cheng Feng Movies. Another was a wuxia drama, it was said that it used the method of shooting a movie to shoot this drama. It was in an anthology series, a drama focusing on the main male lead. Although Yan Xi was the main female lead, she didn’t have many scenes in comparison. But her character was outstanding and the arrangement of her few scenes were very remarkable as well.

Because she didn’t have many scenes in the wuxia drama, it wouldn’t clash even if she took on two dramas at the same time. Not everyone in the entertainment circle were actors or singers. Compared to their works, popularity and views were more important to the producers. Yan Xi was popular and trending right now, so the company naturally arranged more new projects for her.

On this day, Yan Xi had just finished shooting a MV when a group of entertainment reporters swarmed forward. They asked loads of questions as they pointed the camera and mic at Yan Xi and the male lead of the MV, which was the singer and popular idol Chen Li Qing signed under Ju Xing Entertainment.

The reporters were talking non-stop. Other than asking about the status of Chen Li Qing’s new album, they also wanted Yan Xi to reply to various mean and obnoxious topics circulating in the internet. Chen Li Qing helped to block half of the questions for Yan Xi, probably because those questions also sounded awkward and difficult in his opinion. So he revealed some of his future work schedule, attracting the cameras to help Yan Xi out. In the meantime, Yan Xi maintained a polite smile and only chose to answer a few direct questions about <Qing Shi Ming Yue>, then went back to her car under her assistant and bodyguards’ protection.

After that, the internet released an interview with Li Miao Dan who secretly hinted at Yan Xi who entered the crew with resources, snatched someone’s role, unable to remember the dialogues and relied on post-production to dub it, stubbornly added and changed her scenes and other “misdeeds” like coming late and going back early.

Coincidentally, tonight’s drama was also broadcasting that scene of slapping her.

Yan Xi waited for the show to start on time, and even called the manicurist to come to her house to do manicures with Chun Jie. Xiao Qi was there too, when she saw the scene where the nanny asked the female lead Shen Shu Yin to send clothes to Qing Liang Hall, Xiao Qi glanced at Yan Xi carefully, then switched the television to silent mode. Xiao Qi witnessed the whole scene, so she knew that it was all real beating in this scene and how much humiliation Yan Xi had received without saying a single word when she was shooting this scene.

What created the biggest quake was a video that was uploaded at one o’clock in the early morning. It was a close distance secret recording of when they were shooting this scene.

In the video, Yan Xi wasn’t haughty like what Li Miao Dan had said. It was the opposite, she looked like a new actress without any status in the crew, while Li Miao Dan seemed more famous and was also the one who bullied her. But even if she was a new actress, she shouldn’t slap her for real!

Yes, this video was the one that Yan Xi asked Xiao Qi to record secretly. The one who uploaded it to the internet was not Xiao Qi, but the public relations team under Gong Yun Ting.

It was a video where Li Miao Dan deliberately NG, made things difficult and slapped her for real.

At that time, aside from the die-hard fans of Chen Man Xi and Li Miao Dan, and also those toxic users that praised the slap saying that she deserved it, everyone on the internet were mostly attacking Li Miao Dan. They claimed that she was lying, conceited, fake, bullied an actress of the same crew, and even acted like a small white flower in front of the media. They also pitied Yan Xi for being on the hot search all the time.

That night, after searching through the first few pages of the related topics, weibo and comments, Yan Xi who had never been on weibo for a long time surprisingly found out that she actually had her own fans weibo page? She clicked into her weibo main page that she hadn’t updated for a long time to see that her fanbase seemed to be growing. It was the same for her weibo fans.

Her weibo notifications were always 99+. She received so many curses and internet violence in the past that she didn’t even want to read them. But now that Yan Xi opened it, she found that although there were still malicious comments, there were more comments that encouraged and supported her. Such comments continued to grow. Her fanbase was the same. Yan Xi contemplated about it, in the end she posted a weibo without any picture attached, with only three words:

Slanders can kill.
