Cheng Tian Entertainment, CEO's office.
This was the first time An Zihao had experienced such an atmosphere. Lan Xi was acting as the CEO as she questioned the 'irresponsible' manager, "What does Ling Feng being replaced have to do with you? Why were you the one to recommend the newcomer in the end? Zihao, give me an explanation. "
"Tangning was previously put in a difficult position in Moscow and now she's been humiliated by Ling Feng. I also want to ask, as the CEO of Tangning's management agency, has President Lan not done enough to protect her own artist?"
"An Zihao, watch your attitude!" Lan Xi yelled as she slammed her hands on the table. "I am the CEO of Cheng Tian. In this building, it is not up to a manager like you to tell me what to do."
"Because Tangning is disobedient!" An Zihao continued bluntly. "For our President Lan, signing a disobedient model must be hard on her."
Lan Xi seemed to have been hit by An Zihao's words as an unnatural expression flashed across her face.
"You guys created this mess, why should you let the agency clean up for you? Did Tangning not bring her brain with her? The other party is a popular actor with a powerful family background. Doesn't Tangning know the consequences of offending them? "
After hearing Lan Xi's words, An Zihao suddenly laughed. He laughed helplessly, "You signed her... after dealing with Yang Jing, President Lan is going to burn the bridge after crossing the river?"
"An Zihao, don't think that my tolerance towards you has no limits!" Lan Xi suddenly looked at An Zihao with a dangerous and dark expression as she warned.
However, An Zihao simply stood up from the sofa and shoved one hand into his pocket, "What? Are you planning to ruin me or ruin Tangning? "
Lan Xi glared at An Zihao angrily.
"I will naturally give the agency an explanation for Tangning's matter. But, Lan Xi, the way you are now, I have to make a very scary decision." After speaking, An Zihao turned around to leave Lan Xi's office. However, Lan Xi called out to stop him.
"What do you mean?"
An Zihao did not turn around as he said in a firm tone, "From now on, I will never stand on your side."
Lan Xi's expression changed. She wanted to stop An Zihao, but his figure had already disappeared into the distance.
For the sake of Tangning, An Zihao had thrown away 10 years of friendship just like that. However, Lan Xi had no idea that An Zihao didn't do it because of Tangning, but because of her change.
He didn't know why, but when he had more power, he seemed to be especially fickle.
No wonder Cheng Tian had been stuck at a standstill for the past few years. Comparing Lan Xi to Mo Ting... the difference was huge...
…
The scandal continued to escalate. Ling Feng did not target the well-funded LM, nor did he target the famous director. Instead, he targeted Tangning. He felt she did not have any background, so he decided to settle old and new grudges with her at the same time. With the addition of Cheng Tian Entertainment's negative handling of the contract, rumors spread that Tangning signed with Lan Xi did not place much importance on her.
As for Tangning, she used her usual method of dealing with the situation: silence. After all, the truth would eventually be revealed.
But this time, she was really in the wrong …
And it wasn't a light mistake …
At least, she really shouldn't have interfered with the director's casting, even after Ling Feng had been replaced! There was another reason why Tangning couldn't step out and say anything: she represented LM. If she stepped out and admitted her mistake, it would be like slapping LM in the face.
But, in reality, Ling Feng was in the wrong in the first place.
However, online, Ling Feng's fans went crazy and dug up news about Tangning. They flooded Tangning's public square with blood and destroyed her Tieba forum. After doing all this, they still felt it wasn't enough. They even fabricated news about Tangning being in an accident and cursed her family to be sent to the crematorium.
In the past, fans of female celebrities were more rational. However, fans of male celebrities were different...
Seeing these extreme comments, Tangning did not dare to show them to Mo Ting. She was afraid he would be worried, so in front of him, she pretended nothing had happened. Behind his back, she even gave Lu Che a phone call and told him not to tell Mo Ting everything. In reality, Mo Ting already knew everything.
Mo Ting did not mention it in front of Tangning and even gave Long Jie a phone call not to tell Tangning about the comments. He was also worried she would see them.
The couple were well aware of this, but neither of them pointed it out.
The online attacks against Tangning did not stop. Ling Feng was extremely satisfied with this result.
He wanted to know, with his public outburst, would anyone still dare to invite Tangning to events and give her a job?
"Ling Feng is my bottom line. I don't care if Tangning is a wild model or a wild chicken. As long as she doesn't touch my bottom line, I have nothing to say to her."
"Tangning is hiding like a turtle again. Hurry up and apologize to Xiao Feng... don't tell me you want to hide for the rest of your life?"
"Stupid woman, you're too scared to come out. You must know our Ling fans are not to be trifled with."
The internet was in an uproar. Ling Feng received a lot of sympathy from the netizens. However, at this time, the higher-ups of LM released a live broadcast to explain the entire situation.
"The cause of the incident was because on the day of the shoot, Ling Feng did not show up. Furthermore, we did not receive any notice that Ling Feng was taking time off.
"As a result, the person in charge of LM called Ling Feng's manager to confirm his schedule. However, Ling Feng's manager expressed that because Tangning had previously stood him up and refused to have dinner with him, Ling Feng wanted to use this opportunity to get revenge on her. He even made an unreasonable request for the innocent Tangning to lower her head to Ling Feng before he would agree to shoot the commercial.
"Ling Feng's actions have severely harmed LM, the director and Tangning's interests. He has no professionalism to speak of."
"So, after receiving the unanimous approval of the filming crew, the director decided to replace the male lead Ling Feng and selected a new candidate. Not only did Tangning's manager recommend the male lead, there were many other candidates. However, because they met the criteria, they were selected by the director. This has nothing to do with Tangning."
"Actor Ling Feng, don't purposely confuse the public and use your power to get revenge. Don't push your own mistakes onto others. I hope you can reflect on yourself first."
"The incident of replacing Ling Feng has caused a huge uproar and caused a misunderstanding amongst the netizens. We are deeply sorry. As for Ling Feng's fans, they have taught us a lesson.
"Sometimes, taking a step back isn't enough. In the entertainment industry, we need to pick up our weapons and protect our own interests."
"At this point, I also wish Mr. Ling Feng the best of luck!"
LM didn't have any evidence yet because Tangning knew Ling Feng would retaliate in other ways. So, she suggested LM not reveal their trump card. The reason LM dared to say and do anything was because they had received a phone call from the CEO of Hai Rui...
