Chapter 967: Everyone Avoids Trouble

Director Luo’s doubts weren’t raised for the time being.

Yuan Keqing saw that on Weibo, Guo Pai had once again issued an apology statement.

Luo Xuzhang had also posted it.

Vitality also mentioned that Guo Pai would temporarily stop updating new episodes of “Moon Shines Over the River” today.

And before tomorrow night’s 8 pm update, it would go online with the “Don’t look at TA” function.

“Guo Pai actually really wants to go online with this function. It was just a random idea from the netizens, and they actually listened to it,” Yuan Keqing was anxious, “If this feature really comes out, what if someone really chooses not to look at me?”

Meng Fanzhen was also in a dilemma.

She couldn’t think of a good idea.

In order to discuss countermeasures, Meng Fanzhen had just rushed to Yuan Keqing’s house and sat with Yuan Keqing and Xu Mingjing.

“How can Tan Jinqi be like this? At such a critical time, not only did he use Guo Saisai, he even posted that on Weibo.” Xu Mingjing was furious.

Did Tan Jinqi not treat them as family?

Yuan Keqing knew that Tan Jinqi did it on purpose.

The Tan family must have suspected that she was involved in scheming against Tan Jinyi.

Although they didn’t say anything when they were at Wei Keli’s place.

They started to deal with her when they returned.

However, Yuan Keqing didn’t dare to tell Xu Mingjing about this.

One reason was that it was inconvenient since Meng Fanzhen was around.

The other reason was that Xu Mingjing didn’t approve of scheming against Tan Jinyi either.

If Xu Mingjing found out, she would be blamed again.

However, before they could come up with a countermeasure, they saw the official blog of Ledong Media and Guo Pai Video release a new press release.

It indicated that Director Liang, who was involved in this matter, had been suspended. Luo Xuzhang was also removed from his position as the CEO of Guo Pai Video because he didn’t handle this matter properly.

Xu Mingjing stood up abruptly.

Yuan Keqing had yet to realize the seriousness of the incident. When she saw the drastic change in Xu Mingjing’s expression, she was somewhat puzzled.

Xu Mingjing looked at Yuan Keqing’s reaction and sighed, thinking that Yuan Keqing was really smart sometimes.

But at other times, she could be so dense!

Xu Mingjing said helplessly, “Tell me, because of this incident, Director Luo and Director Liang both lost their jobs. Who do they hate the most?”

“Because of this incident, the originally good results of “Moon Shines Over the River” suddenly plummeted. Who do they hate the most?”

“Among those affected are the director and the male and female leads. All the actors who have scenes with you will be affected. And the ones who have the most scenes with you are the male lead and the second male lead. The second male lead’s most important scenes are also completed with you. Once the netizens choose not to look at you, it means that the scenes of the second male lead would also be turned off by the audience. The second male lead would have acted for nothing. Who do you think he would hold a grudge against?”

“The male lead’s scenes have been reduced by so much because of you. Do you think the male lead would hold a grudge against you? Between you and the female lead, there are also quite a number of scenes. Not to mention, during the post-production editing, you had many scenes added, even more than the male and female lead. If the audience doesn’t look at you, there won’t be much left for an episode.”

“When the time comes, the audience will know how many scenes you had added. Do you think the impact on you will be large?”

“Then what should we do?” Yuan Keqing was also panicking.

She looked at Xu Mingjing, then at Meng Fanzhen.

“We can only get in touch with Guo Pai and hope that this won’t affect the follow-up collaboration between you and them,” said Meng Fanzhen, “Although we haven’t signed the contract yet, because of Mr. Wei, we used “Moon Shines Over the River” as the lead to draw up a follow-up collaboration plan with Guo Pai. We had already agreed that the next web drama’s lead role would be given to Keqing. But now… it’s hard to be sure.”

“Then hurry up and contact them! Let’s see what Guo Pai wants first,” said Yuan Keqing angrily.

Although she knew what to do, Meng Fanzhen was still sitting there without moving.

She should have found a famous manager instead.

However, now that Guo Pai had a new CEO, Meng Fanzhen didn’t have a way to contact Lin Qiuming. She could only contact Guo Pai first like everyone else, and get the call transferred to Lin Qiuming.

However, Lin Qiuming’s assistant said that Lin Qiuming was not around.

Even the new general manager wasn’t there.

Originally, because of Wei Zhijian, she could speak with Director Liang directly.

Now, Director Liang was suspended and someone else had taken over.

Meng Fanzhen couldn’t contact him and contacted other people, but no one could make the decision. They all said that they couldn’t make the decision themselves.

Meanwhile, “Moon Shines Over the River” was suspended for one day.

When it resumed broadcasting the following day, as expected, there was an additional function of “Not looking at TA”.

In the end, the person who was the angriest was not the director or the male or female leads, but the second male lead.

“In the future, when you take on a role, make sure to ask around. Regardless of whether I continue to act as the second male lead or the male lead, as long as there’s this Yuan Keqing, I won’t take it!” The second male lead said angrily to his manager, “Even if she has backing and brings funds into the group, even if it’s a movie that I’ve invested in, I won’t even take it if she’s around!”

“I’ve really never encountered such a cowardly thing. If something happens to an actor in the movie and the movie can’t go on, then everyone will be unlucky and the movie will be buried. In any case, there will be a large group of people who will feel upset. But now, everyone else has a part in the movie, and I didn’t make a mistake or offend the audience. Why should she, Yuan Keqing, make a mistake and drag me down with her? She was in most of my scenes. I didn’t have many scenes without her. Even if I did have some scenes left, how many minutes did they take up?”

“So after spending so much time acting, I only got a few random parts?” The second male lead was livid.

“I know. Even if you don’t tell me, I’ll help you avoid trouble in the future. As long as Yuan Keqing is involved, I definitely won’t accept it for you. Whether it’s a drama, a variety show, or an event, I won’t accept it.” The manager made the second male lead feel relieved, “I’m guessing that not only you, nor only the other actors in the drama “Moon Shines Over the River”; even other actors who aren’t involved will avoid Yuan Keqing like the plague.”

“Who knows how long the audience’s resistance will last? Even if the audience forgets about this history in the future, what if Yuan Keqing becomes a diva again?” The manager said, “There are so many actors, and there are many people you can collaborate with. Just avoid Yuan Keqing. Not only the artistes, but even the crew would probably not choose her if they could. In this way, it would be the same as if there was no Yuan Keqing. It won’t hold you up from taking on any roles.”

“If everyone doesn’t choose her, and she doesn’t have any scenes to film, won’t you not have to worry about having to work with her?” The manager laughed, “Now, let’s see how strong Yuan Keqing’s backing is. Whether she will continue to bring her sponsors into the production team. If that’s the case, then there will definitely be some production teams that will accept her under pressure. But we can just avoid her ourselves.”

“If she can survive this, it means that her backing is indeed capable. But if she can’t, then you don’t have to worry about having to work with her in the future.”
