As the marketing accounts gradually exposed that Wen Rou had been using her sister as a double to earn money in the entertainment industry, Han Muyao also received the results of the investigation from his assistant.
The assistant's investigation was very detailed and listed everything about Wen Rou from birth to the present, occupying a full thirty-page document.
When Han Muyao opened the document and saw the family members' section, he instantly guessed the truth of the matter.
Wen Rou has a twin sister named Wen Yao, and the attached photo of Wen Yao in the document looks exactly like Wen Rou. Based on the photo comparison alone, they are indistinguishable.
After staring at the document for a moment, Han Muyao continued to scroll down. The further he read, the more serious his expression became, and his brows furrowed together. By the time he quickly flipper through the entire document, his palm had unknowingly clenched.
He originally thought that the sisters were just using the same name to expand their acting opportunities and make it easier to acquire resources in the industry for greater fame and wealth. The truth, however, was far from simple.
In a small restaurant in Sichuan, a crew called "Happy Enemies" selected Wen Yao as an extra, and even though it was just a short scene, Wen Rou's performance was outstanding.
The director felt that with such good inner and outer conditions, the girl deserved more than just working in a small restaurant, so he recommended her to Yuan Min, the current agent of Wen Rou.
The document detailed that although the director, Li Rui, recommended Wen Yao, the person who actually came to the audition at the splendid media was Wen Rou.
Although their names were different, due to their identical appearances, the marketing company didn't have any doubts.
In this way, Wenrou successfully replaced Wenyao and entered the entertainment circle, leading to subsequent events.
Because of her beautiful appearance, the company took some interest in Wenrou. In the first two years, they provided her with resources for two online dramas, but her poor acting skills resulted in low ratings and no impact.
Just then, their parents were involved in a car accident and became vegetative, requiring medication in order to survive in the hospital.
It was also at this time that Wenrou discovered Wenyao's natural talent in acting, and, being completely self-taught, she began to act as a stand-in for Wenrou. From then on, Wenrou rarely appeared in person on set, and Wenyao completed most of the work instead.
There were no documents specifying why Wenyao would act as a stand-in for Wenrou, but it is not difficult to guess the reasons.
Both of them originally came from poor families, and the expensive medical expenses after their parents' car accident could only be covered by Wenrou, who struggled in the entertainment industry.
As Wenyao's previous stand-in work aligned with Wenrou's character, there were no issues for the past two years.
However, this time, the huge disparity between "Jiangmen" and Wenrou's character, coupled with the impact of Su Nan's video, led to the gradual exposure of the truth.
Han Muyao felt that although he was young, he had seen a lot of different people in the world of fame and fortune alongside his father from a young age, and it was filled with many unscrupulous individuals who would do anything for personal gain.
But he had never seen anyone as ruthless as Wenrou, who dared to use even her own parents.
After reading it, Han Muyao immediately sent the document to Wen'an via email and then called her.
After seeing the call was from Han Muyao, Wen'an immediately picked up, thinking about Wenyao's situation. "Muyao, you called at the right time. I have something I want to tell you."
"What is it? I also have something important to tell you over here."
"Then you go first."
Han Muyao realized the seriousness of the situation and didn't hesitate, but he was afraid that this matter would have too much of an impact on Wen'an, so he briefly mentioned a few things and left the rest for Wen'an to read in the email.
However, Wen'an responded: "Muyao, I already know about this matter. Wenyao confessed to me yesterday."
Han Muyao didn't expect Wenyao to confess on her own initiative; he asked, "Then, what do you decide to do?"
"Wenyao being a stand-in for Wenrou was completely beyond her control. This matter was completely Wenrou's greed, wanting to gain without effort. I don't think Wenyao should bear the consequences of Wenrou's mistake."
After learning the truth, Han Muyao and Wen'an had the same idea, but both of them were uncompromising individuals and couldn't allow Wenrou to continue running free.
At this moment, Han Muyao had a plan in mind but decided to first hear Wen's opinion.
"Wen, what do you mean?"
"I plan to help Wenyao."
Upon hearing this, Han Muyao suddenly remembered the faint smile on Wenyao's lips on that day at the film set.
He lowered his eyes and answered, "Then let me handle this matter."
The marketing account "@娱乐大扒车" regularly exposes inside information about celebrities, and each time the exposures are verified, so everyone trusts his revelations.
This time, he exposed that Wenrou's Baidu information was faked, and she was not an only child but had a twin sister. In recent years, she had been forcing her sister to be her stand-in in order to make money in the industry, but some people were hesitant to believe that.
If it were something else like being kept by someone or undergoing plastic surgery, they'd unquestionably believe it.
But it was too unbelievable to force her sister to be her stand-in, even if they were twin sisters, they were completely different people. How could they not be discovered?
They would rather believe that Wenrou was marketing her image, but the live broadcast had exposed it, and they couldn't believe that another person was involved.
Then, another marketing account exposed another piece of news.
Group Nine Breaks the News V: According to an informant, at 8 p.m. on September 6th, Wenrou entered the famous high-end club "Nanfeng" and was seen leaving at 2 a.m. being held by a man. That day, the official Weibo account of the movie "Jiangmen" updated a post titled "At this moment on the set, everyone working hard, destined for another sleepless night," with a video showing a woman identical to Wenrou's appearance sitting on the steps reading the script.
[Photos of Wenrou]*5
[Video screenshots]*4
The netizens who had previously not believed in the stand-in incident were starting to waver.
At the same time, a person couldn't be in two places at once, but merely a few pictures were not enough to prove the truth of the matter. After all, the filming time of the photos could have been manipulated, and the small video could not prove that it was really filmed at "that moment."
So, the netizens flooded the official Weibo account of the movie "Jiangmen," seeking verification of the filming time of the story in the post.
Soon enough, the official account responded to everyone's inquiries with a Weibo post.
@电影将门官博V: The contents of this Weibo's story are filmed in real-time, not prerecorded and then uploaded.
This response confirmed that on the 6th, Wenrou was indeed on the set filming, and now, the authenticity of those several sneakily taken photos needed to be verified.
Wenrou's fanatical supporters insisted that those pictures were old ones, brought out by untrustworthy individuals to smear Wenrou.
But their insistence was of no use, as someone quickly uploaded the surveillance video from Nanfeng Club.
The time was clear in the surveillance video, and those who held out a little hope for Wenrou completely gave up, unable to find any excuses to defend her.
Soon, the hashtag #WenrouStandInIncident# swept through the entire Weibo.
Previously, everyone had been unaware, but now that the truth had been revealed, they began to notice various inconsistencies.
Some bloggers seeking attention began to list Wenrou's inconsistencies.
The two films Wenrou starred in after her debut were both flops, while in the same year, another film she acted in showed a major improvement in her performance, leading to several rookie awards.
Furthermore, Wenrou was known for her EQ, sweet-talking personality, yet many directors she had worked with stated in interviews, "Wenrou" is introverted and does not like to talk.
Additionally, in a variety show, the host asked Wenrou to reenact a classic scene from a drama, but she seemed very awkward, unable to remember the lines, and unable to perform at all.
The director praised "gentle" acting for being able to endure hardship. Despite a 5cm cut on her calf, she persisted in her acting, and even after healing, she never complained about the scar. But the gentle calf of her leg was smooth, white, and without any scars.
...All signs indicate that the marketing account's exposure is completely true. Gentle has been using her sister to make money in the entertainment industry.
Hiding at home and completely afraid to go out, Gentle, upon seeing all that was exposed, shook in fear, completely not knowing what to do.
Only a few days ago, everyone was confessing to her, praising her for being beautiful, pretty, and cute, hoping that she would be in business every day.
How could things change so quickly?
Gentle was completely bewildered, her thinking not very clear, she helplessly scratched her head.
Just then, the sound of the door opening was heard, and Yuan Min walked in carrying a bag of food.
Seeing Yuan Min, Gentle rushed over to grab her hand, like grabbing a straw for life, and said, "Yuan Jie, please think of a way to save me, please save me!"
Yuan Min looked at the disheveled Gentle, pursed her lips, and sighed inwardly.
Gentle was someone she had brought up, and all her interests were tied to Gentle. How could she possibly give up on her?
But in the current situation, any response would be futile.
Originally, it was just the matter of exposing her lack of martial arts skills, and the company had already decided to hide Gentle. It was only after she pleaded with the company to first suppress the situation and then decide how to handle Gentle.
But as soon as one trouble was settled, another rose.
The matter of the impersonator had been operated by Gentle and Yuan Min without the company's knowledge, so the company was very angry when it found out, and immediately decided to hide Gentle.
Up to today, Yuan Min finally understood.
From the moment Gentle replaced Wenyao and went for the interview at the company, the ending was already predetermined.
How could a thief who steals others' opportunities possibly go far?
Putting down the food bag, Yuan Min said, "Eat something, this is the last time I come to see you."
"What? What do you mean, Yuan Jie?" Gentle said incredulously, staring wide-eyed.
Yuan Min replied expressionlessly, "The company has decided to hide you, and I have also been dismissed. From now on, take care of yourself."
"Hide?"
Upon hearing these words, Gentle immediately sank to the ground, staring blankly at Yuan Min, "How could this be possible, how is this possible!"
As Yuan Min looked at the sitting Gentle, she didn't know what to say.
After this matter spread, as Gentle's manager, she couldn't stand firm in this circle anymore. Now with her own situation precarious, she couldn't care for Gentle.
Thinking of this, Yuan Min looked at Gentle once more and then turned and left.
Gentle watched as Yuan Min left, completely broken.
She was unwilling, unwilling to fail like this, she wasn't even eighteen yet, her life hadn't even begun, and now it was ending like this?
No, it can't, absolutely can't!
Gentle smashed everything on the table frantically. At the moment when she raised her phone, she suddenly stopped, thinking of something.
Then her emotions quickly calmed down, and after pondering for a while, she quickly opened Weibo.
Her Weibo had always been used by her, not controlled by the company, so she could still post.
So Gentle quickly edited a post and sent it out.
Actor Gentle V: Hello everyone, I know that you all now despise me and think that I'm just a cheat who uses my sister to make money. But have any of you thought about one thing? Wen Yao's martial arts skills are so strong, and I can't do anything. If she didn't volunteer to be my stand-in, could I have forced her? Everyone, please open your eyes and don't be deceived by Wen Yao. She just wants to climb on top of me!
Since you, Wen Yao, won't give me a way out, then don't expect to have it easy either.
