Sheng Tang took Ai’ai’s phone, swiftly logged out of Weibo, and handed it back to her.
Ai’ai: "..."
She was silent for a moment.
After the two supermodels left, Ai’ai asked Sheng Tang, "Is that it?"
"What else do you want to do?" Sheng Tang laughed, "Do you really want to argue with his fans?"
Ai’ai: "But... this is too much bullying, it also hurts your reputation, Sister Tang. A lot of people are cursing you now, saying you are scheming..."
"It’s alright." Sheng Tang said, "The fan culture in the TV circle is different from the film circle. Even if Feng Yanqiu has hundreds of times more fans than I do, in the film circle, if I want to replace him, I can replace him.
Different ecological cultures, we don’t rely on this for a living, box office is our foundation. Besides, arguing with them affects the crew’s reputation, but a little disharmony might actually bring attention to the movie."
Ai’ai was dumbfounded.
Although Sheng Tang had been in the industry for almost two years, she had been almost buried by her manager Ye Yongying for a year. She only started acting last year.
How could she remain so calm without having experienced a big hit?
Sheng Tang put her arm around Ai’ai’s shoulders and smiled at her, "If there’s anything that can affect me, it’s people saying my acting is bad.
If in the future we release a movie and all people talk about is how bad my acting is, then you can worry about me. Other than that, there’s no need to take it to heart."
"Should we inform Brother Fei to prepare a PR team?" Ai’ai asked.
Sheng Tang shook her head.
"But it’s infuriating," Ai’ai said, "It’s not even your decision, it’s the crew’s decision, so why are they only targeting you?"
Sheng Tang smiled.
Ai’ai continued, "Are we really just going to let this slide?"
"In this situation, I’m the one benefiting. Besides, you made a logical error, Ai’ai," said Sheng Tang.
"What?"
"That long post was definitely written by his team. With his influence, if he personally takes me down, it gives me exposure. Do you know how flattering that is?" Sheng Tang said with a smile, "I should really thank him."
This was the truth.
If Sheng Tang were shameless, she should be ecstatic, then seize the opportunity to tie herself to Feng Yanqiu, riding this wave and making a big splash to make herself famous.
She just couldn’t bother with such tactics.
As expected, Feng Yanqiu’s manager was fuming at this moment as well.
"Are you out of your mind?" his manager scolded, "With your status, you uplift her? Do you know how much that long post is worth?
If her team latches onto this, making a huge fuss, you’re the one losing. You’re making a wedding dress for someone else, do you understand?"
Feng Yanqiu acted without thinking, and now it had blown up.
The manager was very troubled, trying to control the situation, and used Feng Yanqiu’s Weibo to post new content: "Had too much to drink at the gathering, spewed nonsense. The crew is great, we’re like family."
His studio then urgently issued a Weibo post condemning the long article’s blogger, accusing them of slandering Feng Yanqiu.
The situation was somewhat controlled.
Still, many people learned about Sheng Tang.
Feng Yanqiu’s loyal fans kept cursing.
However, Sheng Tang was not that well-known, so there wasn’t much about her online, and they couldn’t say much.
Feng Yanqiu’s manager wanted to contact Sheng Tang’s team, hoping to give her some benefits so that her team wouldn’t take advantage of Feng Yanqiu for hype.
But after waiting a day, there was no response from Sheng Tang’s side.
On set, while filming scenes with Feng Yanqiu, Sheng Tang didn’t show any emotions, just like before.
Feng Yanqiu’s manager discovered something: Sheng Tang didn’t care about clinging to Feng Yanqiu for exposure. She didn’t take this matter to heart.
"See, isn’t the issue resolved?" Feng Yanqiu said to his manager.
His manager sighed.
At the same time, both felt a bit stifled because Sheng Tang didn’t see any value in them at all.
The people in the film circle are indeed "above everyone else," huh.
Feng Yanqiu tried to attack Sheng Tang, but ended up directing and starring in his own play, laughed at by onlookers and haters alike, while Sheng Tang ignored him, making it a wasted effort. He spent a lot of money tidying up afterwards, and was furious.
Sheng Tang’s assistant Ai’ai summed up Feng Yanqiu’s actions in two words: "Idiot."
