But, what did Tangning and Jones have to do with each other?
Could it be that this was the method she chose to use to make a comeback? Was she using Jones to create hype?
A lot of people expressed their doubts and even asked questions. But this time, Mo Ting personally released a statement. After all, although Tangning was no longer an artist of Hai Rui, she was still an artist under his management. As Tangning's lifelong manager, Mo Ting naturally had a responsibility.
In the past, Tangning was the one that refused to let Mo Ting interfere. But, this time, Tangning had learned from Jones that mutual need was important to a married couple. So, she no longer cared about small things.
Afterwards, Mo Ting posted a statement on his public social media account.
It wasn't exactly a response, but it sounded like a question.
"My wife's return to Beijing has caused a huge uproar. Before we've even sorted out the matter with Superstar Media, we've already been accused of using Jones to create hype. When can the media be more dignified?"
"My wife accompanied Jones to Beijing to take care of him. It was a completely private trip, so there was no need to explain. But, the slanderers are still doing as they please."
"The funniest thing is, they want my wife to explain how she knows Jones?!"
"The media have always taken advantage of the fact that they're weak and have the right to force their artists to cooperate and violate their rights."
"Artists need to be monitored by the public, not slandered by them. Is this the only way for you to survive by casually making assumptions and riding on the hype?"
"A good environment in the entertainment industry requires reporters to follow the rules. Otherwise, appearing on the headlines in the US and embarrassing yourself will be a part of your plan."
"I would like to make one final statement. This is my final warning. I welcome the public to monitor me at any time. But, if you come across any slandering or rumors again, please wait for a letter from my lawyer."
Mo Ting's statement was filled with strong personal feelings. After all, this wasn't an agency anymore, so there was no need to be so rigid.
But, the most important point was that no matter what Tangning did, the media would always diss her. Sometimes, it was without reason.
Tangning creating hype?
Tangning scheming?
Tangning causing someone to die?
Over the years, every change in Tangning's life had a lot to do with the media. Most of the time, the media made up stories out of thin air. But, when the public thought about it carefully, they understood. And this time, even when he was taking care of his friend and wanted to be a good host, he was slandered for sucking up to the Americans.
Wasn't that too much?
This time, it was Tangning's fans that had been bullied for a long time. With Mo Ting's words, they suddenly had the courage to step out to protect Tangning.
"With all due respect, is Han Xiuche retarded? Superstar Media originally belonged to Tangning, yet he snatched it from her and accused her of framing him. Don't forget, who benefited from this incident? If he didn't use underhanded means, how did he get Superstar Media? "
"As for Jones, this is probably the funniest piece of entertainment news I've ever seen. Just because Jones has a special identity, Tangning actually had to explain how she met him. It's none of your business! "
"We've been Tangning's fans for a long time, so we're used to her being slandered. So, we've kept a low profile and simply watched her work. Originally, we planned to stay like this for the rest of our lives. But, when she was attacked by the media while she was shopping with her friend, I couldn't tolerate it any longer."
Mo Ting's words awakened a portion of the public's rationality and caused a portion of the public to take sides. As a result, there were a lot of people that wanted to go against the reporters.
When it came to the media's harsh treatment of their artists, quite a few artists stepped out to ridicule, "Previously, when I was having dinner, I ran into a paparazzo that was secretly taking pictures of us. I tried to explain to him that it was just a meal and that he shouldn't take pictures. But, the paparazzo pointed to his own head and said that if I didn't let him follow me, he would smash his head open and yell at me for hitting him. If that happened, you would have a scandal …"
"In the end, I gave up. I couldn't afford to offend him, but I could afford to hide. So, I ended up eating a bowl of noodles on the side of the road."
"Aren't reporters supposed to be harsh towards their artists and lenient towards themselves? Most of the onlookers think that celebrities are rich and don't want to see anyone make a move on them. But, look at our cutie reporters, they've already turned a normal relationship upside down. If we were to really touch them, we would lose our jobs … "
"There's nothing we can do. The public loves drama, but reporters love drama!"
"If, in my lifetime, I'm able to see the reporter industry being cleaned up. I'm willing to stream myself streaking. We've already taken care of ourselves. What about the reporters?"
This time, the reporters' incident attracted attention because they had ignorantly slandered Tangning and offended Jones. In the end, news of the incident even reached the US.
It didn't need to be said how embarrassing it was.
All over the US websites, the most arrogant reporters at the time had already resigned and left Beijing; they were too ashamed to face the consequences.
After being dealt with in such a way and receiving all sorts of attacks from both inside and outside of the industry, the reporters were under a lot of pressure.
In the end, during an interview, the people from Hai Rui were asked what Mo Ting meant. They all laughed and replied, "What President Mo is trying to say is that it's fine for reporters to stick to their jobs. Interviewing and supervising are their responsibilities. But, we need to ask our colleagues to use their brains …"
"But, they still need to give us the truth about Superstar Media."
"That's not something that we're in charge of …"
…
As a result, the reporters became a lot more cautious. Meanwhile, Han Xiuche's hopes of catching Tangning's attention were dashed in the end. After all, Jones was currently in Beijing. Who would want to pay attention to his insignificant news?
"Damn it!"
Han Xiuche's brother asked as soon as he heard Han Xiuche's cursing, "If you try to take down Tangning with your own abilities, you'll only make yourself unhappy."
"Now that she's involved herself with Jones, it means that she's entered a higher-class circle that people like you and I can't come into contact with. If you have the time, you should draw more comics. Perhaps, one day, you'll be able to catch up to her."
"Xiuche, you're my only brother. Don't cause so much trouble and embarrass me."
"Am I supposed to just sit by and do nothing about her?"
"What else do you think you can do? Create big news with that fake Ma Weiwei? " Han Xiuche's brother laughed. "If she had enough scenes, she might have a chance to step out and join in the fun."
"Isn't Tangning magnanimous? I don't think she'll say anything. "
"You guys can do your own things and she can do hers. Although it's disgusting, Ma Weiwei already exists and there's nothing Tangning can do about it. Plus, Superstar Media is in your hands. It's fine if you suck her blood! "
