"Don't be afraid, we will be by your side to help you," Lin Sheng comforted in a gentle voice.
Tangning turned her head around and looked at Mo Ting. She noticed the corners of his lips were curved upwards with anobvious smile, but she still felt uneasy, "I've caused 'Stupid' to hit rock bottom. Aren't you guys worried at all?"
"What is there to worry about?" Mo Ting asked back.
"When it comes to being a model, I have everything within the palm of my hands. I know exactly what to do to save my image and push myself forward. But, when it comes to being an actress...it is completely foreign to me."
"With your acting and President Mo's PR capabilities, there will definitely be a day when the Fei Tian Best Actress Award will be yours," Lin Sheng did not hold back his praise at all.
Because he felt, within this industry, there were too many people that had talent without diligence or diligence without talent. Whereas, people like Tangning, with both talent and diligence, was hard to come by.
"I simply want to do my best with 'Stupid'. Regarding everything else, I don't want to think too far ahead..." Tangning expressed her thoughts.
"You don't need to think too far ahead. The man behind you will have the path planned out for you."
Unfortunately, people had their opinions and it wasn't long before they started labeling her: 'Zero Acting Ability'!
Seeing these three words, Tangning was reminded of Mo Yurou during the Oriental Trend. She had previously caused Mo Yurou to be called 'Zero Mentions'.
Who would have thought, her turn to be called 'Zero Acting Ability' would come around so quickly?
'Zero Acting Ability'...
The fans continued to be in an uproar for quite some time. They even gathered a small group of people to boycott the film. However, the entire production crew knew, Tangning didn't have zero acting ability as rumored. In fact, her acting was shockingly impressive.
"Hmmph, once the film is released, these people will know how it feels to have a sore face!"
"But, if they continue to boycott it, who's going to go watch the film?"
"Hopefully Hai Rui will resolve this issue soon and not allow such a great film to be disregarded..."
Whilst all this was going on, a director decided to post up his opinion on social media. He complained that there were many hardworking and professional actors who watched their youth pass them by, simply because they couldn't grasp onto good resources. Meanwhile, there were people who could not act that occupied the best positions; dragging down the entire industry...
He was obviously hinting that Tangning was one of these people that could not act...
...as well as, one of the people that were dragging down the entire industry.
"If this director was to appear in front of me, I would throw him a slap across the face. He's never even seen you act before, how could he make a judgment so quickly?" Long Jie was overflowing with anger. Even when she was being forced to kneel in front of Qin Lu, she did not feel as wronged as she did now.
"He has the right to express his opinion," Tangning replied in a completely unfazed manner.
"But, his opinion is too harsh..."
"The harshness of his words now will be equivalent to the redness of his face in the future."
In reality, the progression of the incident had already exceeded everyone's expectations. The famous director ended up teaming up with a few other directors to boycott unprofessional actors, placing a label on all actors that hindered the development of the industry, like Tangning.
As examples, they even pointed out a few films that were well-made but ended up being destroyed in the hands of their actors. 'Stupid' was included in the mix.
...
"President, someone is behind the entire director boycott," Lu Che handed the information he had found to Mo Ting, "Previously, Hai Rui used powerful methods to destroy 'Stardom' before it was even born. But, who would have thought, the producer of 'Stardom' was a rich heir. He happened to come across the script and decided to play around with it. So, he was extremely angered when he found out what Hai Rui had done."
