[Many newbies are quick to rise to stardom because of the rich investors behind them. Setting aside Yun Shishi’s pure image on the surface, she may be the opposite of that inside!]
[True! I second the comment above; many newbies’ methods to gain fame are so underhanded these days. They don’t even mind stepping on their senior just to generate hype and move ahead in the entertainment industry. I didn’t expect Yun Shishi to be such a scheming person!]
[Thinking about it carefully, is Yan Bingqing really the type to bully newbies? She already has status and fame to her name. If not on account of Lin Fengtian’s face, would this movie’s resources even enter her eyes?]
[I heard from someone that Yun Shishi is no simple character. Just consider everything: a newbie signing a contract with Huanyu upon her debut and her agent being Gu Xingze’s former manager. The name ‘Qin Zhou’ may be unfamiliar to many, but this man brought the superstar to where he is now in showbiz. His hands hold the most resources in the entertainment industry! Such a manager, is he the type to manage an unknown newbie? Isn’t it strange?]
[I only say one thing; a newbie actually attending Huanyu gala as Gu Xingze’s partner, how can we believe that she doesn’t have any backing? He he.]
[Yun Shishi, this newbie, her means aren’t simple. Many have fought over the female lead role in ‘The Green Apple’, but in the end, it landed on the hands of this unknown newcomer. I can only say that she’s got a huge backer!]
…
The means of Yan Bingqing’s public relations team were top tier; even the studio’s spammers were not idlers and managed to turn the tide of conversation on the forums in their favor fast!
Many of her followers raged on Yun Shishi’s Weibo page and left a trail of negative comments.
They demanded proof that their actress had truly bullied newbies.
[Proof, proof! No proof, don’t talk!]
[No evidence, unconvinced!]
[Another shameless newbie creating hype! He he! (doge) 1 ]
[Our Bingqing is not taking the blame! (bye) (bye)]
…
For a period, be it malicious or defamatory, all conversations on the forums were pointed to Yun Shishi.
As for the evidence, where would it come?
Yan Bingqing was confident Huanyu would be unable to produce evidence at a moment’s notice.
At the start of filming, the investors and the production crew signed a confidentiality agreement.
The terms stated that, no matter the reason, the production team was forbidden from releasing any footage from the set.
This was done to maintain the movie’s mysterious allure and novelty so that the public would be in a state of anticipation for it.
In the case of violation, the production team must pay a hefty sum as penalty.
During filming, no staff was given permission to record anything privately.
As such, the production crew could never release to the public those takes of her slapping Yun Shishi.
She reckoned that Huanyu merely wanted to teach her a lesson; their purpose was to frighten her at most and not truly to eradicate her.
After all, she was its top actress at present.
She refused to believe that Mu Yazhe would disregard her years of service to Huanyu for the sake of one Yun Shishi.
…
For a long time, there were no updates on Yun Shishi’s Weibo.
The last post was an update of her behind-the-scenes live selfie, and even that was from half a month ago.
Where was Yun Shishi?
Why did she not step forward to give a response?
