Xing Lan froze for a moment. She suddenly realized she had found the wrong person.
But, what did Li Jin do?
He directly contacted his friend who knew the law and asked if Lin Qian should repay the debt. His friend gave him an accurate answer, "Of course not. Only an idiot would repay the debt!"
But, Li Jin believed that Lin Qian wanted to repay the debt because she wanted to cut all ties with the Quan Family! But, the amount wasn't as astronomical as this.
…
Of course, this was something that happened outside of the industry and news had not spread. So, under Mo Ting's restrictions, Tangning used her remaining time to prepare for her film.
But, during this period of time, a lot of films were released, but not a single one caught the public's attention.
This was because their expectations for film and television were getting higher and higher. Their expectations for actors were no longer as simple as they used to be.
At this time, some of the viewers were bored, so they created a 'Most Regrettable Actor Rankings' and asked everyone to vote on who they wanted to see return to the industry.
But, after 3 days of voting, Tangning ended up at the top of the list.
Looking at all of her films, the audience knew the difference between having and not having acting skills.
"Actresses with acting skills are becoming fewer and fewer. Apart from Luo Sheng, the newcomers that have been released recently haven't caught my eye. As for actresses with acting skills, they're too monotonous. The only one that can truly change their acting skills is Tangning …"
"It's a pity that Tangning isn't acting anymore. I wonder why Tangning was forced to retreat because of an artist that tried to commit suicide."
"Although Tangning is a professional manager and has managed many good artists, it only takes one day for Tangning to become the next Tangning. But, for others, it may take 10 years."
"Now that I think about it, it's such a pity."
"Because of this, I'll vote for her. I hope she returns!"
This post caused quite a stir. After all, the public had forgotten about the past and were reminded of how good Tangning was. But, Tangning was definitely not going to return to acting.
Filming for 'Purgatory' was in full swing. Apart from resting, Tangning spent most of her time discussing special effects with the production team. Apart from that, she spent most of her time at home with her two kids. This was a life that she felt was extremely fulfilling.
But, perhaps because of the appearance of this post, so many people mentioned Tangning, the officials of 'Survivor' quickly announced that it was about to premiere.
The director was smart; he knew how to make the most of the opportunity. He would never forget how difficult it was to film this film and how much contempt he had to endure when he bought the rights to this film.
As soon as the news came out, many people were excited.
Especially the fans.
'Survivor' was an adaptation of a true event. Although the original production team was no longer around, Tangning's main lead remained the same. Even though it had been a long time since the incident, it felt like their anticipation had been temporarily hidden. Their blood immediately boiled. Especially at a time when bad films were running rampant, the arrival of this film was like a blessing to film fans.
Perhaps, Tangning had already forgotten that she had filmed such a film.
The day after the official announcement, the director personally began to promote the film. He knew it would be impossible to get Tangning to appear on stage.
"The birth of 'Survivor' has been full of twists and turns. Luckily, it's finally going to be released to the public. The first person I would like to thank is Tangning. Back then, when we were wrapping up the film, it was so difficult, but she still managed to complete it with a professional attitude. Honestly, I am deeply moved by her."
"This is Tangning's fifth film. I'm not sure if it will be her last. Of course, I hope it won't be."
"I understand how easy it is for an actress to be forgotten in this industry. You can forget about Tangning, but please don't forget about her goosebump-inducing acting."
"'Survivor' is looking forward to seeing everyone. See you next week."
The director cleverly mentioned Tangning because he knew it was the best way to promote the film.
Although Tangning was no longer an actress, she was still the boss of Superstar Media and her manager. Her popularity had never decreased, so he had to make good use of this. At least, he hoped that the public would pay attention to 'Survivor' and realize that its heart was real.
As he did not have a team, the director had no choice but to work alone. Afterwards, he released a 30-second trailer for 'Survivor' on the official website.
As soon as it was released, it received over 10 million views in one morning!
"F * ck, Tangning's acting is really goosebump-inducing."
"It's so good. I can't wait!"
"I think it's a little scary because it's based on a real event."
"If this film explodes in the box office, the idiots that once gave up on this film will probably cry themselves to sleep in the toilet."
"Thank you, director, for saving this film."
Of course, since it was Tangning's film, Hai Rui couldn't sit idly by. So, Fang Yu immediately arranged for a professional team to take over the publicity from the director and instructed all the cinemas to schedule the film.
Thinking about it, this could be Tangning's last film. The cinemas weren't stupid enough to know that it would explode in popularity … So, this time, no one would stop Tangning's film from being screened or do anything else …
After hearing this news, Tangning could only sigh.
She had once thought that this movie would be lost forever.
Who would have thought, it would one day see the light of day again.
Today, was the fourth day that Lin Qian owed $30 million.
No matter how hard she tried, she only managed to gather a few million. Compared to $30 million, it was like trying to put out a cart of firewood with a cup of water.
Seeing Lin Qian in such a pitiful state, Xing Lan's chest filled with anger. Did she have to go this far? Did she have to force someone to the brink?
Lin Qian was at her wit's end. But, at this time, she received a phone call from Li Jin, "Come out of the office. I'm downstairs."
"But … I'm busy."
"Give me 2 hours," Li Jin insisted.
Lin Qian assumed that Li Jin didn't know about this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited 4 days for a response. But, she was currently in debt, so she didn't want to drag him down.
So, when Lin Qian arrived downstairs, she originally wanted to reject Li Jin. But, she noticed that he wasn't wearing his military uniform, but a black suit.
"Get in."
"Where are we going?" Lin Qian asked.
"You'll know when we get there," Li Jin said before he started the car.
But, Lin Qian quickly realized that Li Jin's route was very familiar.
"I'm sorry, I think I should pay your adoptive parents a visit."
"No, you don't know …"
"I know," Li Jin held onto Lin Qian's hand. "Return what you owe …"
