The knocking on the door outside became more and more intense. Ji Ning could no longer tell where he was. His fingers grasped the man's collar and his toes felt weak.
She was timid and had never done anything so tense and exciting. Every time she knocked on the door, her heart stopped beating briefly.
Ji Shiyan finally let her go. Their noses were touching each other, and their breathing sounds intertwined in the darkness. Her lips were numb.
The man saw her breathing gradually calm down, lowered his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Did I open the door?"
She didn't know what to say, so she just nodded mechanically. After nodding, she realized something was wrong and hurriedly pulled his collar: "Hey - wait."
"how?"
"I..." Her voice was also hoarse, "I'm putting on some lipstick."
The high level of self-awareness of a female artist has been engraved in her bones. Although she was completely exhausted, Ji Ning was still determined to rely on her own strength to get down from the cabinet.
She struggled there like a sloth for a long time, and the man put his arm around her slender waist and helped her down to the ground easily.
Although her mind was full of thoughts about finding the bag, her brain had been deprived of oxygen for too long and had lost basic thinking and analytical abilities. In the end, it was Ji Shiyan who turned on the light and helped her find the bag.
After the kiss, the man returned to his usual calmness, as if it was not him who had just held her head down to prevent her from escaping.
Only Ji Ning knew how she was leaning against the corner and being tossed and rubbed by him to the best of his ability. The man seemed gentle and restrained, but in fact he had been suppressing his emotions for a long time.
In the past, he seemed somewhat distant towards all female artists, and I always thought he was so cold and aloof that he didn't care about worldly matters. But now I realize that no man is as pure and unselfish as a god.
After Ji Ning put on her lipstick, she used her fingers to comb her hair. She glanced at Ji Shiyan from the side. His clothes were a little messy, especially the collar, which seemed to have been wrinkled by her.
Feeling her gaze, the man lowered his eyes, and perhaps he thought of something, and laughed deeply.
Ji Ning rubbed his ears: "What's so funny?"
The man raised an eyebrow: "I opened the door?"
The lawyer, who had been waiting at the door for five million years and almost turned into a fossil, was finally let in.
"I thought you were not here," Lawyer Zhao pushed up his glasses, "and I thought the waiter had locked the door. I knocked for a long time but it didn't open."
Ji Shiyan was very calm and composed: "I was just listening to music and didn't hear the knock on the door."
Lawyer Zhao talked for more than half an hour, using a lot of professional terms. Ji Ning could only understand the general idea, so he didn't go into it in detail. Ji Shiyan spoke more throughout the whole process.
In short, the lawyer meant that the evidence was abundant and the chances of winning the lawsuit were high. When asked about the specific compensation they needed, he said, "There have been cases involving defamation rights like this before, where the defendants had very little income, and some celebrities would reduce or exempt the compensation as appropriate."
Those who can hide behind the Internet and insult artists are basically losers. Most of the vicious black fans live at the bottom of society and rely on insults to get pleasure and a sense of identity.
But now the wind direction has changed slightly. After capital poured into the market, they began to hire a large number of water armies to post negative reviews, ranging from one yuan to three yuan per review. The more popular the artist, the higher the price. The highest can be six times the market price. Garbage feeds garbage, and the cycle continues.
"There is no lesson to be learned from the reduction," Ji Shiyan said, "Be more ruthless, pay whatever is owed, and donate whatever is paid."
The kindness of some artists has become a weapon for their black fans to become more aggressive.
Ji Ning expressed his thoughts: "All I ask for is an apology and for Chong Fei to forward the truth one by one until all the rumors she spread are cleared up."
///
Andong Century officially became part of Ji Shiyan and its name was changed to Tingyan.
As expected, Sun He was unable to terminate the contract due to the compensation. The young lady who had never had to worry about getting roles in films before finally lost her capital for arrogance. When Sun Andong fell, her world also collapsed.
With her awkward acting skills, the loss of her few fans, and negative news, her popularity with the public was extremely poor. Sun He fell to the bottom in an instant. She couldn't even get a small web drama, and her endorsements terminated their contracts with her after her reputation was ruined.
Ji Ning and Jiang Yin's team also connected online successfully.
Jiang Yin was very responsible. After finishing her work, she came to the crew to communicate with Ji Ning and brought a lot of resources.
"Here is a script for 'Rouge and Wine', with two female leads and a top-tier production. Go back and take a look before deciding whether to take it," Jiang Yin discussed with her. "The upside is definitely that it's a good script, a good director, and a good production, but with two female leads, it's a little hard to figure out the ranking issue when the time comes."
"But don't worry, with your achievements in the film and television industry, it won't be difficult to negotiate. I will help you negotiate a good result."
Ji Ning nodded and put the script away.
In fact, she doesn’t really care about the ranking, but it will affect some of the artist’s subsequent resources, and a high ranking is of course icing on the cake.
Now, just leave these issues to her team.
"Didn't you tell me before that you wanted to try acting in a serious drama? I think it would be better for me to start with a supporting role. What do you think? Because you don't need to rush into transformation in your current situation. You can spare some time to try more." Jiang Yin said.
"I also plan to start with supporting roles to gain more experience. Otherwise, firstly, the audience will reject me, and secondly, I won't be able to take on the role of the protagonist."
The shooting period for supporting roles is relatively short, so she can find her own way of acting in a serious drama after many attempts, and then decide what to do next.
"'Little Moon' is currently casting, it's a family reality show, and there's a pair of protagonists whose children are students. If you're interested, I can help you submit your information. I know the assistant director."
“What’s the personality like?”
Jiang Yin had prepared the information in advance: "She is a senior high school student. Her family is strict but she insists on her own ideas. It is a story about the collision of dreams and reality, which makes it easy for the audience to feel involved."
That's perfect, as my experience is similar to hers, so it's easier for me to perform.
Ji Ning agreed: "Then I can try. Do you need me to take any more photos for the information?"
"No need, I've already made a resume and a video." Jiang Yin smiled, "Just leave it to me."
Jiang Yin was very efficient and quickly helped her negotiate another endorsement.
The lawsuit between Ji Ning and Chong Fei also went to court as scheduled. With so much evidence in hand, the outcome would undoubtedly be good.
Chongfei was fined a large sum of money and had to post his ID card and apology letter on a black account. The apology letter was a full 5,000 words long and I heard that Chongfei wrote it while crying.
She was not crying because she was reluctant, but because the two financial backers behind her had disappeared after the truth was revealed. Now she was left alone to face a huge fine and public criticism. Even Chong Fei knew that she had been tricked.
In order to reduce part of the fine, she took the initiative to apologize through a video and read the several thousand-word apology letter again in the video.
Of course, the most important thing is that Chong Fei paid attention to Ji Ning's rumor clarification machine overnight and forwarded the truth in the clarification machine one by one.
Regarding the cutouts: The cutouts were necessary for the special effects plot, and were not done behind a green screen because I was paid to be there. I apologize.
About the stand-in: The so-called "stand-in" is a sister character added in the adaptation of "There Are Stars Here", not a stand-in. At that time, Ji Ning had just finished filming a scene and was waiting on the side. I apologize.
About grabbing the microphone: The previous winner had just finished speaking, and because I was crying, I forgot to give the microphone to Ji Ning. Ji Ning was the last speaker, and I didn't grab the microphone. I apologize.
Regarding character: All the eye-rolling and contemptuous comments from collaborators were taken out of context by me and have nothing to do with Ji Ning. Most of the videos were also post-processed. I apologize.
After Chong Fei forwarded all the truth-clarifying Weibo posts overnight, Song Yu asked her to organize all the high-profile events into one Weibo post and pin it to the top, so that everyone who clicked in could get a glimpse of the full picture at the first time.
Chong Fei had no backers and no way out, the only thing he could do at this moment was to obey.
Because of my momentary confusion and being blinded by interests, Ms. Ji Ning suffered a year-long online violence and insults. I feel very regretful and sorry for misinterpreting the facts, and I also implore Ms. Ji Ning to give me a chance to reform.
At the same time, please be more careful in identifying professional black fan accounts. One-sided statements are not credible. Videos can be edited and pictures can be photoshopped. Behind every online black fan campaign there is capital fueling the flames. Netizens who think they are righteous are most likely to be used as pawns. When facing the negative information about an artist, you can make good use of search to analyze the whole picture of the incident and don't let innocent artists take the blame.
Chong Fei's apology quickly became the number one trending search, with a lot of discussion:
At that time, Hei Jining was so good at setting the pace. How does it feel to be slapped in the face yourself
Black accounts are indeed disgusting, and they take advantage of the dark side of human nature. Some people think that black accounts are nothing, because they are not his idols and he can take the opportunity to vent, but when it comes to himself, he can't laugh anymore. As I said, be a good person.
Chong Fei deserves to be scolded, but there is no need to blame her entirely. The capital behind her is equally disgusting. Without benefits, who would make fake information? It's so tiring.
This apology letter also implies Han Mi and Tao Xiang. Weren’t they both quite active when they were trying to drag down Ji Ning before
No wonder he has been acting for so long but still nobody knows about him in the circle. He even made it to the hot search several times by maintaining a black account of Ji Ning. Anyone who sees this would say that Ji Ning is really famous.
It can be seen that Chong Fei really regretted it, and she deserved this fate. The two cowards behind her ran away as soon as they saw what was going on, so she could only be more polite.
I still hate her even if she apologized. Didn't she think of today when she did these things? Did she think she could get away with it so she played it safe? Anyone who knowingly committed the crime should be executed a hundred times.
I always believe in retribution.
Ji Ning looked at Chengqingji's ever-increasing number of fans and Chongfei's ever-decreasing number of followers. It was the first time he truly felt that many passers-by had seen the reality clearly.
The darkness before dawn is finally over.
A bright and new tomorrow is coming.
///
After changing the team and dealing with the black account, Ji Ning's career has improved significantly.
Endorsements have increased, commercial invitations have grown exponentially, and there is a greater choice of scripts.
Her super topic began to stabilize in the top three, and the number of passers-by and fans increased rapidly.
"Illusion Healing" was completed under such circumstances.
After a week's rest, she will join the crew of "Rouge and Wine".
This was a good drama that she and Jiang Yin both recognized. Even though it had two female protagonists, this flaw did not affect the brilliance of the script at all, so she signed the contract.
That weekend was Sheng Xingyu’s birthday.
It was very strange. She and Sheng Xingyu had cooperated a long time ago, but Sheng Xingyu didn't invite her to his birthday party that year. But this year, he suddenly asked Sheng Qianye to send her an invitation.
Since he is Sheng Qianye’s younger brother, she must give him this face.
Finally, Sheng Qianye asked again: "Can you bring Jiang Yin with you?"
Ji Ning paused for a few seconds, and soon understood the reason: "Okay, I'll try my best."
It seems that the rumors that Jiang Yin and Sheng Xingyu had a story are not false. Sheng Xingyu invited me to his birthday party this year, probably to let me bring Jiang Yin along, right
Although they have only known each other for a short time, Ji Ning and Jiang Yin have a pleasant cooperation and a good relationship.
Jiang Yin obviously knew Sheng Xingyu's birthday and kept making excuses saying she had something to do. Ji Ning finally tricked her into getting into the car by saying they wanted to discuss resources.
Sheng Xingyu had not appeared during the banquet. Later, Ji Ning and Jiang Yin were sitting on the lawn outside chatting. As they were laughing, a voice half hesitantly and half assuredly rang out from behind them:
"Jiang Yin."
Jiang Yin's smile did not fade, but she was reluctant to turn around.
In order to give them some space, Ji Ning stood up and said, "I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
After leaving the stage, she walked out while texting Ji Shiyan: Where are you
He said he would pick her up tonight.
It's almost there, please send me the location.
Ji Ning sent out the location, looked up and saw a Bentley, then took a closer look, why did the person sitting in the passenger seat look so much like Sheng Qianye
Before she could see the person in the driver's seat clearly, she saw that person leaning over and covering Sheng Qianye's lips without saying a word.
…
Why are each story tonight more exciting than the last
A few seconds later, Sheng Qianye finally remembered to struggle. She opened the car door and got out. She threw her coat at the man's face through the window and said angrily, "So what if you are Fu Xiu?!"
After getting into Ji Shiyan's car, Ji Ning remembered where he had heard this name.
Fu Xiu, Sheng Qianye's boss and the president of Huayan Entertainment.
Sheng Qianye even dared to scold his own boss... and threw clothes on his face
Ji Ning was so shocked that he couldn't help but look back again and again.
Ji Shiyan asked: "What are you looking at?"
"That guy just now seems to be Fu Xiu, the boss of Sheng Qianye." Ji Ning said casually, "I didn't expect him to be so handsome."
Unexpectedly, just after I finished speaking, the open car window was suddenly rolled up, and the black glass covered the view outside the window.
For a moment, she could only see Ji Shiyan’s reflection in the car window and was slightly stunned.
"What's so good about it?" The man's unhappy voice spread to every corner, "Your boss is also handsome."
The author has something to say: I saw someone say before that don’t call it salt, just call it vinegar, hahahahahahaha
Sheng Qianye x Fu Xiu, Jiang Yin x Sheng Xingyu, these two pairs have been written in the extra chapters. They are my two favorite secondary CPs, the popular young actress x the president and the younger wolf dog (?)
I think everyone has smelled the end of the story. The outline is almost finished, and the main text will probably last you another week =3=
This chapter has 150 red envelopes~
