Chapter 493: Chapter 493: Banning Tang Li
This CVR spread rapidly across major online platforms.
“That day the film crew was on a break, and Yuanyuan and I planned to go bungee jumping. Just then we ran into Tang Li. It was her first time filming in Lishan, and she wasn’t familiar with the other actors. There had been some misunderstandings between her and Yuanyuan in the past, and Yuanyuan had always wanted to find an opportunity to resolve them—after all, we all work in the entertainment industry and we see each other often.
Yuanyuan invited Tang Li to join us. I actually wanted to stop her; just the day before, Tang Li had grabbed Yuanyuan by the throat. I hoped Yuanyuan would be more wary, but she’s too kind. She said it was just acting and that I shouldn’t confuse reality with acting.”
At this point, Shen Na’s eyes reddened slightly: “Yuanyuan, being as kind-hearted as she is, still didn’t want me to come out and clarify even after being wrongfully attacked by netizens. She knew I didn’t like to be in the spotlight and wanted to protect me, but I can’t remain silent. I can’t let someone who has been sincerely good to me suffer such grievances!”
“I had Sister Wen secretly record this video. Yuanyuan was unaware of it. I also wanted to reveal the truth of what happened that day. I hope the general public won’t be fooled by someone’s manipulations to become a tool for their agenda!”
As she spoke, Shen Na began to cough, and a middle-aged woman hurried over to pat her back continuously, her eyes full of tears: “When you left the Capital, you were such a wonderful person, and look at you now. If anything happened to you, how could your father and I go on?!”
“That damned person has caused such harm and has never once visited the hospital, let alone offered an apology!” Mother Shen looked into the camera, wiping away tears: “Dear netizens, I beg you today. If the law cannot punish such evil-doers, I can only ask you to help my daughter obtain justice. I don’t want anything else, just an apology. Let her come to the hospital and sincerely say ‘sorry’ to my daughter.”
Shen Na paused her coughing, her face paler than paper, gasping for air as she continued: “I don’t need her apology! I just want to expose her wicked deeds to the world!”
“That afternoon, after having lunch with Yuanyuan and Tang Li, we went bungee jumping together. But at the jumping platform, Tang Li suddenly wanted to switch bungee cords with Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan was already ready to jump, and I thought it would be a hassle, so I just traded mine with her. Little did I know, as soon as I got my feet strapped in, she pushed me from behind. If I couldn’t swim, I’d probably be a corpse by now.”
“Some so-called ‘informed’ people try to keep the peace by insisting it was an accident and even falsifying evidence for Tang Li, but I can’t stay silent. I can’t watch Yuanyuan suffer from injustice, I can’t let her future be ruined because of me, and I don’t want the real culprit to escape the law!”
At the end of the VCR, Shen Na couldn’t stop coughing and medical staff hurried over.
This video, like a depth charge, shook the entire entertainment industry.
This was no longer about artists undercutting each other, but about a murder!
Aside from the outcry from netizens, numerous industry big names reshared the video, leaving messages of encouragement for the victim and voicing their condemnation of the “murderer”.
As the situation intensified, in the early hours, several influential directors jointly issued a statement that the actress Tang Li’s name would never appear in their works again.
Meanwhile, [Lai Yuaner’s V] retweeted her studio’s Weibo post and commented: “The things that have happened these past few days caught me off guard. I only thought of hiding, yet I couldn’t even protect those close to me.”
The netizens’ anger was ignited, with calls to blacklist Tang Li growing louder.
The official Weibo account of IMG, which had previously responded to the statement from the crew of “Phoenix Concubine”, amassed over a million comments in just a few hours with phrases like “get out of the entertainment industry”, “murderous fiend”, “psychopath”, “descend to the eighteenth level of hell after death”… the critical comments were too harsh to look at.
