The two women had both worked on the international stage, but their fields were different.
If they were actors, Tangning would still be a newcomer who had only won one Best Newcomer Award. But, Bai Yu already had a place in Hollywood.
After comparing the two women for so long, Bai Yu's fans directly called Tangning a dishonorable person!
But, the first person to view Tangning as an opponent was obviously Bai Yu.
"I finally understand what it means to put the blame on someone else. When my Ning was at home taking care of a child, didn't a certain international award winning actress post non-stop? Today, her EQ is high and tomorrow, her figure is perfect. How come now that my Ning has made a comeback, it's become my Ning bullying others? "
"My Ning is still a small-time actress. She knows that she can't match up to a certain international award winning actress. Please let her off the hook."
"I must be speechless. What has my Ning said so far? Bai Yu's fans are so guilty! "
"The entire world owes Bai Yu an Oscar."
"The fans of a certain international award winning actress are like a bunch of hooligans."
"You just focus on acting in 'Concubine Ning'. You don't need to worry about our Royal Concubine."
The internet was in a frenzy. Especially after Tangning promised to do an interview with the media after the launch event. So, the internet fans decided to go around scolding Tangning for taking advantage of them. They even said that their own Best Actress couldn't be compared to Tangning.
Even though they saw how beautiful Tangning was at the event, they weren't willing to admit it. After all, there was a saying that went, 'you can never wake up a person that's pretending to be asleep'.
...
The event lasted for a whole 2 hours. Tangning displayed her biggest appeal as a spokesperson. Especially after the commercial was released, the pre-sales of a certain brand's new foundation broke all previous records and set a new record for the sales.
Tangning's endorsements never disappointed. This made the advertisers extremely happy as they repeatedly affirmed Tangning's popularity and professional abilities as a model.
After the event ended, Tangning even received a piece of luxury jewelry from the brand.
Perhaps it was because she wanted to accept an interview, Tangning did not leave in a hurry. Instead, she waited for the other guests to leave before she walked out to face the reporters.
After the advertisers found out about Tangning's situation, they specially lent the venue for her to accept an interview to show their support and love for her.
The reporters were pleasantly surprised that they didn't have to interview an artist in an outdoor environment. Beijing was currently in the rainy season, so the outside of the venue was already soaking wet.
The reporters quickly entered the venue. Seeing Tangning already standing on the stage, they quickly took their seats.
Looking at the otherworldly Tangning, they felt an inexplicable sense of awe. But, compared to awe, they were more curious. In everyone's eyes, this female artist, who was always going to be a has-been, had given you one resounding slap after another with endless surprises...
It was as if she would not allow herself to lose no matter what.
"OK, we don't have much time left. I still have a little rascal at home waiting to be fed. I hope everyone can ask your questions in an orderly manner. Of course, I reject any malicious speculation. If I come across a question like this, I will skip it," Tangning said as she looked at her diamond-encrusted watch. "Please start..."
Raising one's hand to ask the question was a rule in the industry. So, the reporters all rushed to raise their hands and let Tangning choose who to answer.
"I would like to ask, did you really give up on 'Concubine Ning' because of the quality of the script, or was it because you were unhappy that the female lead was stolen from you?"
"I would like to ask, how do you feel about the 'crushing' that Bai Yu has received over the past few days?"
"Bai Yu has publicly 'spoken up' for you on multiple occasions. How do you respond to this?"
"I would like to know the gender of the babies!"
"It's a boy," Tangning immediately replied as soon as she heard the reporters ask about the babies.
Did Tangning mean to skip the first three questions?
The reporters were here for these things. If Tangning didn't plan to respond, then there was no point in accepting the interview.
"Actually, Tangning, I am a fan of yours. What I want to ask you is a very sensitive question, but I hope you can answer it. Because, in my heart, you are not worse than anyone else," a female reporter stood up and said some heartfelt words to Tangning.
As Tangning's fans, they all hoped that Tangning could slap Bai Yu in the face and shut her fans up.
Tangning was well aware of this fact...
So, in the end, she picked up the microphone and said, "Firstly, the reason why I gave up on 'Concubine Ning' is because of the script. Otherwise, I would have been looking forward to acting with Bai Yu. I have always been focused on the character, not the person. As long as the character is good enough, I would be able to accept it, whether it's the female lead or the female lead. My identity as an actress exists for the sake of acting."
"Secondly, regardless of whether Bai Yu is an actress or an international award-winning actress, she has the right to like and dislike anyone. I respect that. As for the 'crushing' comment, I did not take it to heart. I know that I am not the person that the public portrays me to be, so there is no need for me to feel uneasy over the twisted truth. Most importantly, with comparison, I can clearly see the difference between two people. Since the fans were able to list three similarities between us, that means, apart from these three, there are thousands of other similarities that cannot be replicated. "
"As for the words that Bai Yu has said in public, that is her personal freedom. I have no way of determining whether someone is sincere or not, so I can only do my best."
"Lastly, I don't think there is much value in discussing which of us has a higher EQ. Because we have different values, we have different ways of doing things. But, from the moment that I announced my comeback, I have made it clear that I am not a kind person. I will never forgive those that secretly bully me. I will respect those that respect me. "
"Lastly, I will only place my sincerity and time on the people that I care about. Regardless of whether you think of me as arrogant or cold, I will not waste my time on people that have nothing to do with me. So, from now on, whether there is a comparison or a poster, I will treat it with a smile. I am well aware of the path that I want to walk and the type of person I want to become..."
"Thank you to everyone that has been paying attention to me. I simply want to let everyone know that Tangning is back!"
As soon as Tangning finished speaking, the reporters felt a mixture of emotions.
Within the industry, it was rare to see someone as direct as Tangning.
She may not treat you well, but she wouldn't casually play tricks on you either. Because, she wasn't willing to waste her time on you!
She knew her identity and knew her value. She didn't overestimate herself, nor would she deliberately belittle herself for the sake of others. She wouldn't stop herself from moving forward for the sake of others.
This was Tangning...
