The matter of Gentle can be said to be the most explosive news in the entertainment circle in recent years.
First, the collapse of her martial arts persona led to widespread mockery, and the revelation of the impersonator's matter further shattered the public's perception.
Even if the relationship was not good, she was the real sister, with the same blood flowing in her veins. How could one continue to exploit her like this?
As everyone recalled Gentle's previous image in front of the public, it became apparent that, despite her venomous heart, she appeared as weak and innocent as a little white rabbit, truly disgusting.
Netizens who felt deceived immediately began to denounce Gentle online, demanding that she apologize to her sister, Wen Yao, and to the former fans and audience who had loved her.
Soon, a storm broke out online. Not only all news platforms on Weibo were reporting this, even the elderly who weren't surfing the web had heard of it, and began to angrily scold Gentle as a hypocrite.
Despite the criticism from netizens, Gentle's management company and Gentle herself have not responded to the matter, as if they had disappeared.
Netizens were furious at the thought of them being indignant here, while the culprit, Wenrou, was living it up with the money earned by her sister Wenyao, and they were infuriated.
Just as everyone was seething with rage but couldn't find a place to vent, Wenrou updated her Weibo!
The netizens at the forefront had intended to vent their anger on Wenrou, venting their grievances for Wenyao at the same time, and then soothe their own hearts.
But when they saw the content of Wenrou's Weibo, many people were stunned.
This Weibo from Wenrou revealed two pieces of information.
First, she admitted to indeed using her sister Wenyao as a stand-in.
Second, her sister Wenyao did so willingly.
After the situation between Wenrou and Wenyao was exposed, although people were angry at Wenrou for deceiving the audience by using a stand-in, they were even more indignant on behalf of Wenyao.
Using the illness of her parents to threaten her sister was truly despicable and morally corrupt. Wenrou's behavior was that of a cunning and ruthless wolf.
But if what Wenrou said was true, and her sister Wenyao did it willingly?
Netizens recalled Wenyao's martial arts skills, fighting four opponents at once, her powerful swordplay, while her sister, apart from her deep thoughts, clearly had no power at all.
If Wenyao was unwilling, it wouldn't be easy for her to resist. Can she really be threatened by her soft and weak sister?
The current atmosphere on Weibo is very bad, with many keyboard warriors being fence-sitters, so after seeing Wenrou's Weibo, they couldn't help but hesitate.
Wenrou had managed her image very well before its collapse, endearing herself to many, so even this time, despite the incident, many stubbornly chose to believe her.
When the brain-dead fans saw that everyone thought Wenrou made sense, and their support for Wenyao began to waver, they quickly came out to defend Wenrou.
"Wenrou is really pitiful. It's obvious that Wenyao willingly became a stand-in, but she was said to have been forced by the promotional accounts."
"Didn't everyone see the promotional accounts colluding to smear Wenrou? The big gossip car took the lead, and the rest of the promotional accounts each threw a hammer. In one night, they hammered Wenrou to death. Clearly, someone is playing tricks behind the scenes."
"Wenyao really is playing a good strategy. As soon as Wenrou is shunned by the public, she can openly take her place."
"Wenrou debuted four years ago, and Wenyao only became a stand-in two years ago. It seems that Wenyao has been planning this scene since then. Wenrou really is naive and has been manipulated so miserably."
Wenrou's brain-dead fans began to turn the tables, selling Wenrou's misery, and the online keyboard warriors began to think that Wenrou made sense, but still hesitated to take sides, afraid of another reversal of the situation.
The voices denouncing Wenrou on the internet decreased significantly for a while.
During the lunch break, Han Muyao, who was browsing the web in the office, frowned when he saw this scene.
Originally, when he learned the truth, Han Muyao had intended to expose the matter for Wenyao, so that Wenyao would no longer be blackmailed by her sister and could return to being herself.
But someone had beaten him to it and exposed the matter, and later he found out it was Wenyao herself.
It seemed that Wenyao had planned it for a long time, so Han Muyao did not intervene, but kept an eye on the situation every day and would step in if necessary.
A few days ago, he received internal news that the brilliant media had already given up on Wenrou and had buried her, not only that, due to Wenrou's personal reasons, the brand's interests represented by her had also been damaged, so she also needed to pay a hefty penalty.
This penalty was enough to make Wenrou's later life very difficult.
Han Muyao had thought that this matter was over, and the next step would be to promote Wenyao to the public.
However, Wenrou, even when in this situation, was not giving up and was struggling.
As the backstage boss of the largest entertainment company in the industry and a movie investor, Han Muyao had an extensive network in the industry and knew many directors, large and small.
Li Rui, the director of the television show "Happy Partners," in which Wenyao made her first appearance, happened to have collaborated with him.
So Han Muyao immediately had his assistant contact Li Rui.
As a director, Li Rui had to change his crew every time he changed drama, and he shouldn't have remembered a small extra.
But Wenyao left a deep impression on him.
Because Wenyao was truly beautiful, it was very difficult to find someone comparable in the entertainment industry, especially in the environment of that small restaurant at that time; he was stunned at first sight.
Wenyao was not only beautiful but also very talented in acting.
At that time, Wenyao was not even 15 years old and had been brought out as an extra without any fear of the camera. In a scene of three lines and a two-minute play without any rehearsal, she got it right the first time.
He thought she was a good talent and asked for her name, then recommended her to his fellow student Yuan Min, who was an agent.
He remembered vividly that the girl told him her name was Wenyao.
When she made her debut, her name had changed to Wenrou, and he thought she had changed it to cultivate a gentle image.
It wasn't until a few days ago that he saw the news and realized that Wenyao and Wenrou were completely different people, and the Wenyao he had been fond of hadn't made her debut at the time.
Knowing the truth, Li Rui was also shocked for a long time, and he had really never expected such a thing to happen, even though his college classmate Yuan Min had seemed so reliable at school, she had done such an absurd thing with Wenrou.
Talented actors are rare, and directors cherish them and prefer such actors.
So when Han Muyao contacted him, Li Rui didn't hesitate to issue a statement on Weibo.
Li Rui V: Everyone knows that Wenrou made her screen debut in the drama "Happy Partners" directed by me four years ago, and I recommended her to Yuan Min, the agent of the brilliant media, but I distinctly remember that the actress who appeared in "Happy Partners" told me her name was Wenyao, the person I recommended to Yuan Min was also Wenyao.
How it became Wenrou, I was completely unaware of, and I once thought that Wenrou was a stage name the actress changed for her debut. Upon learning the truth these few days, I regretted not being more careful back then. If I had been more precise and confirmed the actors' situation more, I would have discovered this switch, and Wenyao would not have been buried for so long. Fortunately, good people will always shine, and certain robbers who took the opportunity to kidnap people have finally received their retribution.
Han Muyao had been closely following Li Rui's Weibo, and as soon as Li Rui's statement came out, he immediately arranged for the public relations team to spread the heat of this Weibo.
Netizens were shocked to see new revelations in the Wenrou incident once again.
Just a moment ago, they were still hesitating about the gentle Weibo, suspecting whether the whole thing was just Wen Yao's publicity stunt.
The result is that the entire debut opportunity was snatched by Wen Yao.
In this case, even if Wen Yao's current predicament was planned by Wen Yao, so what? Everything Wen Yao has now should have belonged to Wen Yao in the first place. She is just taking back what belongs to her. What's wrong with that?
So public opinion once again turned against Gentle.
Gentle looked at the situation, which had started to improve, suddenly deteriorate. She could not think of any other way.
Resentful, but also helpless.
Gentle collapsed completely, clutching her phone tightly, praying for a miracle.
And at that moment, the phone rang.
She picked up the phone and quickly connected as if she had seen a lifesaving straw.
But what the other party said completely plunged her into despair.
"Gentle, you have a month to pay off the breach of contract penalty, otherwise, we'll see you in court!"
------
The official Weibo account of "Jiangmen" deleted all the Weibo and posters with the name "Gentle," and replaced them with Wen Yao's.
Wen An specifically wrote a long Weibo post for Wen Yao, telling everyone about Wen Yao's performance on the set during this time, and stating that the female lead of "Jiangmen" can only be her, and it's absolutely impossible to change.
As a prominent figure in the film industry, when Wen An made a statement, others also followed suit, expressing their support for Wen Yao and denouncing Gentle.
The fans who had previously followed Gentle's Weibo because of the swordplay videos had already unfollowed, and had started asking the official account and Wen An for the goddess's Weibo.
As the only one who knew Wen Yao's Weibo, Wei Ling immediately posted a Weibo to direct the public.
When Wen Yao logged back into Weibo, she was even more shocked than Gentle was initially!
Last time she logged in, she only had single-digit followers, but now she had over nine million followers, and her few dynamic comments had already surpassed a million.
Wen Yao, who had never interacted with her fans before, was at a loss for what to do.
Facing the enthusiastic comments from everyone, she replied one by one, and when Wei Ling saw this, she jokingly slapped Wen Yao, saying, "My little sister, with hundreds of thousands of comments like this, when will you finish replying to them?"
"But it's impolite not to reply, right?"
"Xiao Yao Yao, have you never been on the internet before?"
"Uh, no."
Wen Yao nodded honestly. Before crossing into this time, she had indeed never used it, and she only started using Weibo after joining this set. Apart from occasionally browsing hot topics and comments, she was not very familiar with the other functions.
At this moment, Wen Yao was like a well-behaved baby, and Wei Ling couldn't help but chuckle. She imitated the usual gesture of pinching her cheeks and pinched Wen Yao's.
"You can post a Weibo to thank everyone for their attention, and then say that you will work hard in the future, and bring out better works to thank everyone's love."
Wen Yao realized what she should do and quickly posted a new Weibo as per Wei Ling's instructions.
Just as the Weibo was posted, Wen An's assistant came over.
"Teacher Wen, Director Wen has called you over."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yao went to Wen An's office, lightly knocking on the door and entering only after getting permission.
In addition to Wen An in the office, there was also a middle-aged woman, slightly plump with a kind face, but with a shrewd look in her eyes.
After taking a moment to assess the situation, Wen Yao turned her gaze to Wen An and said, "Director Wen, you called for me."
Wen An nodded and said, "Xiao Wen, now you are no longer a substitute for anyone. Have you ever thought about signing with a talent agency?"
Wen Yao had never thought about a talent agency, mainly because it was not in her concept. But as an actor, having a manager and a team seemed to be much more convenient, just like Gentle, many things were arranged and handled by managers and companies.
So Wen Yao replied, "If there is a good choice, I am naturally willing."
Upon hearing this, Wen An and the middle-aged woman present both looked pleased.
Wen An said, "Then let me recommend someone to you. This person is Li Qing, a top talent agent at Ruihan Entertainment."
As she spoke, Li Qing stood up and handed her business card to Wen Yao, then introduced the company and her own situation, with a very friendly and enthusiastic attitude, completely different from Yuan Min.
After the introduction, Wen An asked, "Xiao Wen, what do you think? If it's not suitable, it's okay to say so."
Ruihan Entertainment is the largest entertainment company in the industry, with many popular artists and most of them in the top tier, which shows the company's ability to promote artists.
Li Qing, as the ace talent agent, had once promoted a newcomer into becoming a top-rated celebrity, and then successfully helped them transition into a powerful actor, so she is very experienced.
As for the terms the company offered her, Wen Yao had not compared them and was not clear about the situation, but she thought that since it was recommended by Director Wen, it couldn't be wrong.
Wen Yao replied, "I think everything sounds good, but I have one requirement."
"What requirement?"
"I must agree to all the work I take on."
Li Qing thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just this. She smiled and said, "Of course. The first article of Ruihan's regulations is to respect the artist's right to choose."
Wen Yao said, "That's good, Sister Qing, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
In the blink of an eye, the movie "The Gate" is coming to an end, and Wen Yao, under the arrangement of her agent Li Qing, is starting to plan her upcoming work.
"Yao Yao, I have currently selected a wilderness adventure reality show and a popular IP adapted martial arts script for you to look at, see if you're interested," Li Qing said as she handed Wen Yao the script.
Wen Yao took the script from Li Qing and first flipped open the martial arts manuscript. After reading just one-third, she couldn't continue.
The martial arts world depicted by this author is too exaggerated and completely unrealistic. The script may be suitable for others to act, but for someone like her who lived in that era, it was difficult to accept.
She put down the martial arts script and picked up the introduction to the reality show, soon finding herself attracted to it.
The show will place guests on a perilous and desolate island for a month, providing no living essentials, completely relying on the guests to fend for themselves.
The show will be broadcast live for the audience to watch, hence the guests' performances will be presented without reserve.
Wen Yao had experienced the hardships of military battles, so she not only did not fear such an environment, but even felt that under such conditions, she could be her true self.
She looked up and said to Li Qing, "Qing Jie, I've decided to participate in 'Surviving on a Deserted Island'."
Upon hearing this, Li Qing's expression changed slightly. She said, "Do you know that some guests on this show have gained countless fans, while some have seen their fame plummet, and some guests... "
Li Qing paused.
Wen Yao asked, "What about some of them?"
"Completely disappeared."
Hearing these words, Wen Yao was somewhat surprised, after all, this was an entertainment reality show.
Li Qing continued, "The guests who completely disappeared, no one knows whether they are dead or alive, and to this day, the official show has not given a positive explanation."
"Won't the audience and their families investigate their disappearance?"
"'Surviving on a Deserted Island' is extremely dangerous. What you'll face is not only the basic need to feed yourself, but also guard against becoming the beasts' prey. Meanwhile, your companions might also become your enemies. On the deserted island, the only person you can rely on is yourself, so each guest will sign a life and death agreement before heading to the island, with this, the program can be exempt from liability."
Wen Yao was aware of this life and death agreement, it's something that is signed for extreme activities like parachuting and bungee jumping.
However, Wen Yao felt that such a show did not conform to the current control situation of the media industry in Hua country.
Her intuition told her something was amiss, but this thought flashed by and she didn't dwell on it.
Having experienced near-death situations, Wen Yao never feared life and death, she just wanted to follow her heart and do what she wanted.
With a resolute tone, she answered, "I'm willing."
Li Qing had long anticipated this result, she didn't want to tell Wen Yao about the invitation to this show, but the company's resource department pressured her.
Now she could only watch over Wen Yao's fate.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Wen Rou had sold all of her assets but still couldn't repay the breach of contract penalty she owed.
With no money to her name, she looked at the eight figures of debt, feeling utter despair.
She looked up at the high-rise building in front of her, slowly walked into the elevator of the building, and pressed the button for the top floor.
The elevator smoothly went up to the top floor, Wen Rou stepped out and walked towards the edge of the rooftop with heavy steps.
She took a deep breath, ready to end her life, when the ringing phone startled her, causing her to almost slip and fall.
Startled, she hurriedly stepped back and answered the call.
"Is this Wen Rou?"
"Yes, it's me."
"Hello, Wen Rou, this is the production team of 'Surviving on a Deserted Island', we would like to invite you to participate in this season of the show."
The author has something to say: Exciting sister battle!!! See how Wen Yao torments Wen Rou...
