Chapter 880: Impossible to Quit
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Liang Xinran’s trending topic suddenly appeared, she and her manager were completely caught off guard.
There was a short video on the trending topic.
In the video, Liang Xinran was smoking something, and then her behavior began to become strange. All her actions pointed to one thing—doing drugs.
The video had been taken three years ago.
Soon, someone found some photos of Liang Xinran from three years ago.
!!
In the photo, her hair looked a little yellow, her face was drawn, and there was a very dry layer of dead skin on her lips.
No doubt she might have done something like this three years ago. She just hadn’t been discovered.
“This is really a crime of ignorance. She actually did such a thing just because no one exposed it!”
“Oh my G.o.d, this is horrible. Look at this drug addict. She’s lost her mind. She’s completely inhuman.”
“Doing something like that three years ago. No wonder she’s been relegated to supporting roles. Wonder why she’s in the lead now.”
“Once this thing is touched, it’s impossible to quit. Let’s just say that in the end, this kind of thing ends with either death or continuing. Continuing also leads to death!”
“In other words, it’s very likely that Liang Xinran is still doing drugs! How can such a person still stay in the entertainment industry!”
“That’s right. Not only is she a bad influence on children, but she’s also spreading an extremely bad culture. Such a person should be banned!”
“Just get out of the entertainment industry!”
“I hope the production crew of Wind and Rain will deal with this actor quickly. Don’t let a piece of rat s.h.i.+t spoil the pot!”
Ren Xinjie’s fans were even more furious. “What did our brother do wrong? It wasn’t easy for him to film a drama, but he actually got involved with such a thing. The production team should quickly deal with it.”
“Don’t let Xijie’s shoot go to waste! I hope the crew makes up their minds soon!”
“If we don’t deal with it now, the whole show will go down. Don’t regret it!”
When Liang Xinran got off the set, she saw her manager standing in front of her with a serious expression.
“What’s wrong? Didn’t anyone give you a packed lunch tonight? Why do you look like that?”
“Something’s happened, Xinran. Someone dug up your video.”
“What’s there to hide?” Liang Xinran smiled easily.
“The video of you auditioning with Director Yuan previously! The part where you played the role of someone who did drugs!” the agent said anxiously.
“This—how did someone get it?”
The agent was also surprised. “That’s right. That’s a clip of your audition. At first, we all thought that there were no videos left. Director Yuan died of a heart attack three years ago. That movie wasn’t filmed or prepared. Only when you went to see him did you try two scenes alone. At that time, I contacted his company and family to ask for the videos. They all said that they didn’t know the content of the new movie Director Yuan had planned. The videos should have all been deleted. Who would have thought that it would spread now! Even if we clarify now, no one will believe us!”
Liang Xinran turned on her phone and glanced at the content. It was already at the top of the trending searches. There was a lot of scolding and it was already very serious.
One could only imagine how bad the impact of this would be.
“Xinran, Producer Fang wants you to come over.”
Liang Xinran knew that what should come had come.
She joined the manager in Producer Fang’s office.
Producer Fang rushed over and went straight to the office. When he saw Liang Xinran, he asked, “What exactly happened?”
This was a serious matter. Producer Fang sounded anxious.
Liang Xinran briefly explained the situation.
“I’m convinced by your explanation.” Producer Fong still approved of her abilities. “But your priority is to convince the outside world.”
“I’ll issue a clarification statement immediately,” Liang Xinran said.
Producer Fang nodded. “Xinran, you have to be mentally prepared. If the outside world pursues you and you can’t produce evidence to prove yourself, I won’t be able to answer to the investors.”
“I understand your difficulties. I will deal with them as soon as possible.”
After Liang Xinran walked out, she looked worried.
The manager said, “Let me hurry up and make a statement. If I’m late, everyone will think we’re tacitly agreeing to this. The later we delay, the worse the impact.”
She immediately made a statement and explained everything about the audition for Director Yuan three years ago. The tone was very sincere and the att.i.tude was very sincere. However, there was no real evidence after all. Many people still expressed their disbelief.
“Where’s the evidence?”
“That’s right. Where’s the evidence?”
“Is there something wrong with Liang Xinran’s team? Where did they find such a deceased director to take the blame for them?”
“Director Yuan suddenly has to take the blame for something like this. Are they trying to curse us so that we can ask Director Yuan underground?”
“Director Yuan is really unlucky to be dragged along with such a woman.”
“Bring out the evidence and we’ll believe you. If there’s no evidence, don’t hara.s.s the famous director who has already pa.s.sed away!”
Obviously, a statement like that wasn’t enough. It served no real purpose other than to make a point.
Liang Xinran rubbed the s.p.a.ce between her eyebrows. Ren Xijie pa.s.sed by her and glanced at her before saying, “Liang Xinran, since something like this has already happened, I think you shouldn’t insist and take the initiative to leave the production team.”
“Why should we quit the crew when we’ve done nothing?” her manager retorted angrily.
“You didn’t do anything? Then prove to me that you didn’t do anything first,” Ren Xijie said. “What’s the point of persisting? If you quit now, everyone will save time and effort. If you persist, I’ll have to reshoot my scenes. I don’t want to spend several times the effort only to get the most mediocre ending.”
The manager was about to speak when Liang Xinran stopped her.
Liang Xinran looked at Ren Xijie levelly. “The producer didn’t even ask me to quit, you’re even less qualified.”
“Then I’d like to see how long you can hold out,” Ren Xijie said before turning away.
Liang Xinran’s phone rang. When she saw that it was s.h.i.+ Jin, she immediately adjusted her mood and picked it up. “h.e.l.lo, s.h.i.+ Jin.”
“I saw everything on the Internet. What’s going on?”
Liang Xinran pretended to be relaxed and explained the cause and effect of the matter. She said, “Don’t worry, I’ve already asked my manager to contact Director Yuan’s family. As long as we find evidence to prove that I was auditioning, all the rumors will collapse.”
“Alright. Do you need my help?”
“No need, no need. I can do it here.” Although Liang Xinran had yet to make any progress, how could she ask her little sister for help?
