Chapter 132: Public Outcry

During this time, Mu Chen was much busier than Song Ning.

While Song Ning grappled with feelings of uneasiness over the upcoming event, Mu Chen was busy making preparations.

Currently, Mu Chen was discussing with the others about the clothes Song Ning would wear to the event.

When Jiang Jin learned about this, she was excited and insisted on joining the discussion as well.

After Mu Chen approved An Ran’s design, Jiang Jin quickly found a set of jewelry that was suitable for Song Ning’s dress.

Following that, everyone continued to busy themselves with their respective tasks.

…

As a part of the new generation of actors, Ye Xin did not have any outstanding awards. Nonetheless, due to her fame as a top-notch beauty, the invitation to the film festival had long been sent to her management company.

Several brands that Ye Xin endorsed had sent dresses to her, in hopes that she would wear their clothes to the event.

Unfortunately, Ye Xin was not satisfied with the clothes that were sent to her. In the end, she sent Yang Li to Milan to look for a suitable dress.

Although Yang Li had been working non-stop for four days and was exhausted, she could only endure and satisfy Ye Xin and the company’s wish.

…

On Ye Cheng’s side, he planned to use the film festival to wash away the embarrassment of losing out on the award previously. Therefore, he ordered his secretary to pay special attention to the boss of Ye Xin’s management company in hopes they would take care of Ye Xin.

However, his worries were unfounded. The management company was incredibly attentive to Ye Xin and placed utmost importance on Ye Xin’s attendance. The management company was so focused on Ye Xin that many of the stars under the company were neglected as a result.

Unsurprisingly, this caused many celebrities and their managers in the company to feel dissatisfied.

Gu Jia, an upcoming star, complained angrily, “This is really infuriating. All the company’s resources are given to Ye Xin, the number one star in the company, then what about us? Is there a point in us attending the film festival? Are we meant to be her attendants?”

“Attendants? You’re really too nice with your words. I think we’re servants at most.” Yu Nan, who used to be a top actress in the company and was recently suppressed by Ye Xin, scoffed.

“This is too much! If this continues, I’m not going to stand for it anymore. It’s not like there’s only one agency here. I don’t believe we won’t be able to sign with other agencies…” Gu Jia said angrily as she hit the stuffed toy in her hand.

“Don’t be silly. If you leave, do you know how much you have to pay for breach of contract? We’re not like Miss Ye. If she wants to cancel her contract, it’s not a problem for her to fork out the money. In fact, with her family’s influence, she probably doesn’t even have to pay the fee. Let’s not dwell on this matter and just accept our fate. Otherwise, what else can we do?” Yu Nan used to be a child star and had been in the industry for more than ten years. Therefore, she was privy to many people’s backgrounds.

Meanwhile, the two actresses’ managers were busy with their phones and ignored the duo’s conversation. Since there were no other people around, it was fine to let the duo vent their frustration a little. However, after leaving the room, no matter how dissatisfied the duo was, they were expected to put on a mask and smile. Even if the person in front of them was Ye Xin, they would have to smile and address her respectfully as Sister Xin. This was the way things worked in the entertainment industry.

It was a dream for many to be given an opportunity like Ye Xin to participate in a production that was based on Yi Yao. Although the duo had been in the industry for more than ten years, they were still treading on thin ice. Fame was an elusive thing after all. Not all of them had an impressive background like Ye Xin. Rumor had it that Ye Xin’s brother invested heavily in the TV series based on Yi Yao just to secure the role of female for Ye Xin. How many of them had families like Ye Xin who could casually invest in a television series?

For all these reasons, the two managers let the two stars complain to vent their frustrations.

At this moment, Gu Jia said resentfully, “I really don’t understand; is Ning Xia dead? How can she allow Ye Xin to take advantage of her fame? She must be dead. Otherwise, I don’t think she’d be able to endure this.”

Upon hearing these words, Yu Nan joined her palms together as she said with a straight face, “God, please let Ning Xia appear. Let her open a path for us small figures who don’t have any backing…”

Gu Jia could not even mock Yu Nan since she wished for this as well. In the end, she said with a sigh, “If Ning Xia is still alive and returns to destroy the title of Little Ning Xia, I’m willing to be the president of her fan club and serve her for life…”

“Do you think you can be the president of Ning Xia’s fan club? I heard that Ning Xia’s fan club has now been taken over by Ye Xin. I’m afraid she really thinks Ning Xia is dead!”

At this time, the two managers finally felt the two stars had gone too far and spoke up to stop them.

“Alright, that’s enough. This matter has nothing to do with both of you; you should just focus on your own matters. During this time, you’re not allowed to post on social media without approval from the company, understand? In terms of skills, both of you are not inferior to others. Your weaknesses are that you lack an impressive family background…”
