Chapter 142: Low-Level Trickery
By saying this, Lu Yang was portraying Jiang Li as a sc.u.mbag who was good to everyone but was trying to climb up the ladder for the sake of her future.
By saying that she gave him the wrong impression, was it not the same as saying that there was really something going on between the two of them?
Jiang Li did not expect this man to be so disgusting!
The people who had sent her private messages and scolded her were all Lu Yang’s fans.
Looking at the r.e.t.a.r.ded comments of these fans, it was as if their brother had been wronged.
However, what really touched Jiang Li was Director Zhuo and Feng Mian speaking up for her.
“This is definitely not what everyone imagined. In this case, Jiang Li is really a good investor and a very good storyteller.”
“A person who can create such a story must have the same character as her work.”
“There must be a misunderstanding. Everyone can’t just listen to Lu Yang’s words.”
Director Zhuo was slightly better off. After all, he could be considered a popular person in the industry at the moment.
However, Feng Mian was in a worse situation.
They were both girls, and she was a newcomer who had just debuted not long ago.
Due to her speaking up, Lu Yang’s fans gathered Feng Mian and Jiang Li together and said that they were the same kind of people, which was why they were able to make this movie together.
“Come on, I think this woman must have used some improper relations.h.i.+p to get the role.”
“She’s just a newbie actress, and she immediately played the female lead. Who would believe it?”
Jiang Li watched as these people insulted Feng Mian, and the anger in her heart burned even more fiercely.
She could be bullied, but her people could not be bullied!
Jiang Li immediately took a screenshot and posted all the chat records on her social media platform.
“This is all of our chat records. Please objectively judge if I said anything that made people think otherwise.”
In the chat logs that Jiang Li posted, Lu Yang would always send a long paragraph while Jiang Li only replied with a punctuation mark. She almost typed the words ‘I don’t want to talk to you’ on the screen.
“Looks like someone is trying to create hype but didn’t succeed so they’re trying to pour the dirty water on girls instead.”
“I’m sick. Why is this male celebrity so disgusting? He’s not even famous yet and he wants to create hype. What kind of dream is that?”
Lu Yang did not expect that Jiang Li would actually dare to post the chat history. He instantly panicked, took out his phone, and sent a Weibo post while trembling.
“This is photoshopped! This is slander against me. I want to sue her!”
However, not long after this Weibo post was posted, Jiang Li immediately posted a lawyer’s letter.
There were so many items in the lawsuit that it was enough for Lu Yang to spend a few more years in prison.
At this moment, an internet celebrity programmer who would usually teach others how to write simple programs stepped in.
“I’ve already used a program to inspect them. These pictures are completely unedited. The concrete evidence is in the video below. The whole process is recorded without editing.”
This evidence almost overturned all of Lu Yang’s previous words.
Lu Yang’s face was smacked so hard that it sounded like a slap. All of a sudden, the internet was filled with people who were mocking Lu Yang.
“He failed to create hype and even got sued. This Lu Yang is really a disgrace to the entertainment industry.”
“Let me remind you, I used to like him before, but now I’m no longer a fan. He loved to create hype before, and I even learned about lots of disgusting scandals. Anyone who wants to know them can come to me.”
The news was further spread, and Lu Yang’s reputation fell to the bottom in an instant. The program team had a headache, so they could only take down the two programs that were originally on the shelves. After editing out all the footage about him, they could only put them back on the shelves.
As for the program recording after that, they signed a contract to terminate it.
When Jiang Li went to record the program after that, there were only a few other guests left, and the program team had no intention of letting Jiang Li and a certain male celebrity create hype.
What kind of joke was this? Every time they hype up the show, a guest would leave. If this continued, Jiang Li would be the only one left in the variety show.
The program team was helpless, but they could only do so.
The next day, Jiang Li received an unfamiliar phone call. The voice on the phone sounded very formal.
“h.e.l.lo, Ms. Jiang Li. Your movie, ‘Housewives, Don’t Feel Despair’, has been shortlisted for this Hundred Flowers Award and has entered the judging stage. Please…”
Before the other party could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Jiang Li.
“I’m sorry. Although I’m very confident in my movie, your low-level deception still can’t fool me. Don’t waste your time on me.”
After Jiang Li finished speaking, she immediately hung up the phone. How could a newcomer like her win an award? Swindlers nowadays really lacked professionalism.
Jiang Li felt contempt for this kind of thing, but she did not say anything.
In the end, not long after she hung up the phone, Director Zhuo’s call came through. He said in a voice that didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “My G.o.d, are you treating the Hundred Flowers Award official as a swindler?”
