Chapter 979: Chapter 979: Sheng Tang, Please Explain
The appraisal from President Tang Xun of Huatai Film and Television has led to "Lady Bai" receiving a low score of 7 even before its release.
This recording spread across the internet.
The impression that "Lady Bai" is a trashy film has already etched itself into audiences’ minds.
Even if it gets postponed, the summer box office is unlikely to improve.
Sheng Tang’s fans are cursing Tang Xun en masse.
"Damn CEO, do you have any professional integrity? Claiming Tangtang’s acting is bad, either show some proof or stop smearing her!"
"Why can’t Lady Bai be a heroine? Who says she has to be gentle? She’s a Snake Demon, a great monster. Moreover, legendary figures never had prototypes; they’re all creations."
"Whether the movie is good or bad, the responsibility mainly lies with the director, why put it on the actors?"
Sheng Tang saw this comment and thought the director was unjustly criticized.
Fei Muzhi didn’t have the final editing rights, the success or failure of this movie has nothing to do with him.
He was implicated because of Tang Xun.
Apart from cursing Tang Xun and Huatai Film and Television, there are also fans eagerly anticipating: "The trailers look great, please don’t postpone, I haven’t seen Tangtang’s new movie in a long time."
"Been waiting for this movie for ages, please be decent and don’t delay! I don’t mind if CG characters are more likable than the main hero, I really like the Red Fox Dou Dou."
"It’s got to be released, I want to see Tangtang during the Spring Festival!"
This is another voice.
Fans of William and Wang Chuiyang have the same attitude as Sheng Tang’s fans, divided into two factions.
Of course, among their fans, there’s also a third faction that lashes out at Sheng Tang.
They say: "President Tang said Sheng Tang’s acting is bad, and she’s dragging down the movie."
"Our Qinglan Film Queen is playing a supporting role for her, what gives her such a big head? What’s the connection that brought her into the production crew?"
These fans have already forgotten that Sheng Tang’s previous "Genius Girl" was a critical and box office hit, which is why she got the opportunity for "Lady Bai."
Even though Wang Chuiyang is a Qinglan Award winner, her box office draw is not as big as Sheng Tang’s.
Commercial films are this realistic; Wang Chuiyang can only be a supporting character for Sheng Tang.
"Please come forward, Sheng Tang, and explain why your poor acting is affecting the film crew?"
This statement is being spread by fans of Wang Chuiyang and William.
Of course, Sheng Tang’s fans won’t fall behind.
"You haven’t even seen the movie, how do you know Sheng Tang acted poorly?"
"If something goes wrong with the movie, everyone gets affected, why attack each other?"
The fans are already in utter chaos.
Wang Chuiyang called Sheng Tang: "My PR is already handling it. Sorry again for dragging you into this."
"It’s fine, I don’t mind it," Sheng Tang smiled, "The fans are just well-meaning."
William also personally explained to Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang likewise told him not to worry about it; what they need to focus on now is getting the movie released.
She found Liu Taofang.
Liu Taofang is the producer, and he’s almost exploding with anger now. He barely managed to turn things around, only to have Tang Xun nearly stomp him down again.
Right now, Liu Taofang suspects his classmate Tang Xun initially used his uncle, the major shareholder, to climb up, and now wants to kick him out of the company and turn his uncle’s connections into Tang Xun’s own.
In short, Liu Taofang trusted Tang Xun too much.
"Let’s meet and talk in detail," Liu Taofang also feared phone recordings.
Today’s smartphones with all those apps are intimidating for Liu Taofang.
Sheng Tang agreed.
As soon as they met, Liu Taofang couldn’t wait to vent.
He’s practically exploding with rage.
"He did it on purpose, the bastard definitely did it on purpose," Liu Taofang’s chubby face looked visibly worn out.
He’s really beside himself with fury.
Sheng Tang comforted him.
"Brother Liu, what’s the situation over at your company right now?" Sheng Tang asked, "Everyone’s curious."
