Chinese entertainment: What's wrong with actresses wanting to improve?

Chapter 579 The Truth Revealed

As I pushed open the villa door, warm yellow light and the voices of women poured out.

The living room was a bit more lively than usual.

Fan Binbin sat cross-legged in the middle of the sofa, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand.

Yang Rong and Liu Yan sat on either side of her, while Zhao Ning and Jing Chen were lying together on the crawling mat in the middle, studying a light-up plastic ball.

Qin Lan leaned back in the single sofa and flipped through a magazine.

Hu Jing and Zeng Li sat side by side on the sofa on the other side, with several unopened boxes of pastries spread out on the coffee table in front of them.

"You're back?"

Fan Binbin raised his head and glanced at him, as if to check his condition today.

Fu Yibai changed into slippers and walked over. He first kissed Zhao Ning and Jing Chen on the head, then straightened up and looked at Hu Jing and Zeng Li.

"When did you get back?"

Fu Yibai sat down between the two women.

"This afternoon."

Hu Jing pushed a box of pastries on the coffee table toward him.

"Try these flower cakes I brought back from Yunnan."

Fu Yibai took a piece and bit into it, the fragrance of roses spreading in his mouth. He nodded, and Hu Jing's lips curved into a smile.

When will this online controversy finally die down?

Fan Binbin put down his teacup, his tone clearly showing impatience.

"I can't even read the comments section on my Weibo anymore."

This afternoon, someone from a brand called to inquire about the situation. Although they didn't say it explicitly, the implication was that they were worried about the endorsement's image.

"Me too."

Qin Lan closed the magazine.

Zeng Li picked up the thread: "I wasn't affected much on set, but my assistant said that I received a lot of inexplicable abusive messages in my Weibo private messages."

I told her to stop looking, out of sight, out of mind.

Yang Rong changed her position while holding Zhao Ning, letting her daughter lean against her chest, her voice tinged with worry.

"Yi Bai, will this affect the company's projects?"

There are still movies scheduled to be released this year, what if someone boycotts the movies because of this...?

"It's impossible to boycott it."

Hu Jing shook her head.

"No matter how fiercely these people criticize online, those who want to watch the movie will still watch it when it's released."

The problem now is that if this matter is left unresolved, the other party will become increasingly arrogant.

Liu Yan remained silent, simply sitting quietly to listen.

Fu Yibai stuffed the last piece of flower cake into his mouth and patted the crumbs off his hands.

"Don't worry, this will be resolved soon."

"Really? How do we solve this?"

Fan Binbin's eyes lit up, and he quickly pressed for more information.

Fu Yibai briefly explained the whole matter to the girls.

"My God, how can there be such a person?"

She was the one who cheated, yet she dared to falsely accuse her husband.

That's absolutely vicious.

"Yes, I never expected Dong Bailian to be this kind of person."

"It's disgusting. She looks so innocent, I never expected her to be this kind of person behind the scenes."

The girls all felt disgusted after hearing this.

"Alright, this matter will be resolved soon."

From now on, Dong Bailian and Wang Dazhi won't need to work in the entertainment industry anymore.

At 8 p.m., a Weibo account named "Quannei Laogui" posted a video.

The caption reads, "Dong Bailian had already cheated on her husband in China and is now falsely accusing him to clear her name."

This account was registered less than three months ago and has only a few thousand followers. It usually posts trivial entertainment gossip and has never revealed any real bombshells.

But tonight, this Weibo post was forwarded more than 10,000 times within three minutes of being published.

The video was so clear that everyone could recognize the two people in the picture as Wang Dazhi and Dong Bailian.

The video was filmed across from the hotel. Through the window, Wang Dazhi and Dong Bailian can be clearly seen passionately kissing.

The online reaction was faster and more intense than Fu Yibai had anticipated.

Less than ten minutes after the video was released, the hashtag #DongBailianCheating# surged to the top of the trending searches, followed by a dark red "hot" icon.

Following closely behind, the three topics #DongBailianWangDazhi#, #DongBailianVideo#, and #PanYuemingWrongfully Accused# burst into the top ten trending searches one after another.

Those netizens who were fiercely criticizing clicked on the trending topic, watched the video, and were stunned, followed by an even stronger anger than before.

Previously, they were simply angry at the scumbag boyfriend and taking the opportunity to vent their frustrations in life.

But now, after seeing the video, they realize they've been tricked.

Those netizens who were cursing Pan Yueming, Chen Xi, and Fu Yibai just a few days ago exploded with anger like a powder keg after they realized they had been used as pawns by Dong Bailian.

Within fifteen minutes of the video being posted, Dong Bailian's Weibo comment section received over 200,000 messages.

"This is the victim you're talking about? You cheated on your partner and then turned around and accused Pan Yueming?"

"She looks like an innocent and pure young lady, but she does dirtier things than anyone else."

"The greatest actor in history, he acts better in real life than on screen."

"How could you bring yourself to eat someone as ugly as Wang Dazhi? What do you see in him? Is it because he looks like he can ward off evil spirits?"

Someone put Wang Dazhi's photo side by side with Pan Yueming's photo to make a comparison picture.

On the left is Wang Dazhi—a large face, small eyes, thick lips, and rough skin.

On the right is Pan Yueming—with delicate features and a gentle temperament.

This image was shared more than 50,000 times within ten minutes.

"If I were Dong Bailian, I would wake up laughing every time I saw Pan Yueming's face in my dreams."

So she abandoned the jade at home and went to pick up that brick outside?

"It's not a brick, it's a slab brick."

It was the kind of thing that got trampled on hundreds of times.

"Does Dong Bailian have an eye problem? I suggest she go to the hospital to have her vision checked."

"Don't insult eyesight. This is a matter of aesthetics, not eyesight."
