Chapter 87: Rumors in the internet

Chen Man Xi was in the hot search.

An entertainment account spread the news that last Wednesday night, the dominant CEO brought along his celebrity babe to eat together with Director Chen Hua Sheng who had just returned from overseas.

Usually the news from articles that used nicknames were more believable, firstly because of the concern of defamation lawsuit, secondly because of the risk of being attacked by fans if they reported real names. So the internet users started to discuss who was the dominant CEO and the celebrity babe.

Any female celebrity who had good resources and fame could be viewed as a celebrity babe, but to confirm her identity, they needed to start from the CEO in the article. Internet users with years of experience had always thought that those who were simply rich were called tycoons, and only those who were rich and handsome were considered dominant CEOs.

Therefore, the uncle and nephew of Gong conglomerate were in the list.

Related keywords were up on the entertainment board for a long time, as rumors started to spread, it ended up as Gong Ding Chen brought Chen Man Xi to eat dinner together with Director Chen.

Soon after that, related keywords regarding Chen Man Xi were up in the hot search. Some fans in the super topic board acted like the official announcement was already out, they showed off all of Chen Man Xi’s “glorious resumes” in hopes that their sister had joined forces with Director Chen. Of course, there were also rational fans who said that without a doubt, Chen Man Xi’s ability had a promising future, but for the related news, it would be better to wait for the workshop to officially announce it.

However, rationality was not worthy enough to be in the hot search. After a while, Chen Man Xi and Chen Hua Sheng’s names were both up in the hot search. Passerbys who saw it might even think that Director Chen was promoting his new movie.

“Pfft!” They were all in the same circle, so Chun Jie knew it with one glance: “She really knows how to play.”

“It’s been up for a long time yet she didn’t come out to deny it. While using this chance to hype up the news, she must be persuading the ‘dominant CEO’ as well. But Director Chen had already signed our Xiao Yan to become the female lead for this movie, she can’t possibly force her way in to play the side character for Xiao Yan?”

Speaking about this, Chun Jie and Chen Man Xi did have some conflict between them. In the beginning, Chun Jie was still in Hua Yang Movies, managing the celebrities. Then Gong Ding Chen signed Chen Man Xi, and built a personal workshop for her under Hua Yang Movies. Chen Man Xi came in with her manager, who was her cousin. Of course, her ex-manager was another person. Chen Man Xi terminated the contract with her manager after she became popular, then her cousin came in to become her manager.

After Chen Man Xi signed with Hua Yang Movies, she was boosted up with Gong Ding Chen’s support behind her. Even if her cousin wasn’t very capable with her work, Chen Man Xi’s resources wouldn’t be affected anyway. She only used her own people, so she naturally discriminated against Chun Jie, since Chun Jie was also managing a few small celebrities under her.

After they signed with Chen Man Xi, Hua Yang Movies’ resources were all tilted towards Chen Man Xi. She was the most famous so it was normal that she had more resources in her hands. But a female lead role that Chun Jie obtained after much difficulty for her celebrity Xiao Hua was also taken away by Chen Man Xi. No matter if it was her image or acting, Xiao Hua was more suitable for that character rather than Chen Man Xi.

This was originally Xiao Hua’s first female lead role after being in this circle for so many years.

The opportunity didn’t come by so easily, not to mention in this entertainment circle that looked shiny on the surface but with fierce competition underneath, where you were easily replaceable. She was quite a nice girl and she chose to stay here all this time. There was a chance that this movie could become popular, as long as this girl was noticed by others, then the route of becoming an actress would be much easier for her to walk on. Additionally, this was initially her opportunity. Chun Jie fought for her with the higher-ups, but she couldn’t win against their power, the role ended up being given to Chen Man Xi.

As for the “compensation” given by the higher-ups, it was to let Xiao Hua who was supposed to be the female lead in the drama to play as a side character that didn’t even have ten minutes screen time in total, and a small low-cost web drama that no one cared about.
