To Love You Again

Chapter 447 - A Plot

Chapter 447 - A Plot

Xiong Wuyue heard her words and her crazed eyes turned to Su Lin. "Shut up, whore."

Loud gasps came out from everyone's mouths, both actors up on the stage and the media below were shocked at the unbridled words of Xiong Wuyue.

Her words were really too much.

Su Lin's face turned red. She was about to erupt as well when Song Xuantin stepped up.

"If you have any dissatisfaction with me getting the role instead of you, don't vent it out on others."

Because Su Lin just stood up for her, Song Xuantin had to help her out to so that her name would not be smudged with ingratitude due to this farce.

After all, she knew that this would turn into a huge scandal later. She needed to act magnanimous and rational, ah. Seriously, like father like daughter, they both liked to create scandals.

Xiong Wuyue hated Song Xuantin. She was the woman who stole her role. Her ears itched just hearing the other lecturing her.

"Don't act tall and mighty here. You are just a s.l.u.t who sleeps around with the directors!"

"Earlier, you said I slept with the investors and producers, now, it's the directors. Don't go around accusing others, especially without proof. Not everyone is as bad as you think," Song Xuantin replied and glanced at where Xiong Zhi was sitting at.

Her friend's face looked the same as usual, indifferent, but after knowing her for a long time, Song Xuantin recognized the look of someone watching a theater play.

In her mind, she seemed to see a bucket of popcorn in Xiong Zhi's hands while the person chewed expressionlessly. 'Gahh! Just when are you going to step in, ah?!'

"Without proof? Isn't the proof right in front of me? I was called here because I got the role. Yet, the decision is changed within three days? How can you, a lowly actress who can't even compare to me get the role instead?"

The actors, the actresses, the directors, and the producers frowned at her words.

Although Xiong Wuyue was famous, however, in terms of acting skills, she was not top-notch.

However, what caught their attention was something else.

What she said was strange.

The decision of the casting was decided shortly after the audition period and the list of actors and actresses who got the roles were privately released a week ago.

However, for the media, it had just been released today.

The production team and staff designed the whole event simply as publicity to promote the film.

Unexpectedly, such an accident would happen.

Xiong Wuyue's reputation was quite big, but it blackened due to the recent scandals. Still, she was a person surnamed Xiong who could turn the tables around, so the media took her words in.

"It made sense. Xiong Wuyue would've gotten the title of the Queen of Entertainment if not for the scandal of the Xiong family, which unexpectedly turned the tide against her."

"She said she was called three days ago, so does that mean that her role has actually been decided at that time? Yet in the end, Song Xuantin got it. Don't tell me, she really slept with the directors?"

"Woah… This is a seriously sensational news that will shock the masses! I can't believe that the rising star, the so-called National Goddess, is the kind to deal with this kind of hidden rules. Maybe she did the same to get the role in the Cursed Family series?"

The media who was shocked by Xiong Wuyue's words immediately recorded everything they heard faithfully.

After all, whether what Xiong Wuyue said was true or not, it was a fact that Song Xuantin was accused of sleeping with the directors and producers to get the role.

They simply needed this kind of speculation to arouse the interest of the public. If ever that she was proved to be wronged, well, that was another material they could use.

They never expected that by attending this cast announcement event, aside from getting materials about the large-scale Sino-American Hollywood film, they would also be gifted with this amazing easter egg surprise.

Xiong Wuyue got more confidence when the media caused a ruckus after hearing what she said.

'See, everyone also agrees! It should have been mine! It's clear that it's mine!'

The host also sensed that the wind below had changed.

The media seemed to prefer believing Xiong Wuyue's words.

It was not surprising, because for the media, the one which was more scandalous was better. It would be very profitable to write about them.

Alas, she was the host after all. She had to clear this misunderstanding. "Miss Xiong Wuyue, the decision of the directors and the producers has been decided since a week ago. Regarding the phone call you claim to receive three days ago, the production staff will naturally give an explanation to you."

The host did not know if the phone call was true or not.

However, it was better to throw this phone call problem back to the production team. It was no longer her business.

However, the host's kind intervention backfired on her.

"An explanation? Will they dare explain to me how that s.l.u.t got the role because she slept with men and I didn't?"

There was another round of loud murmurs.

First, because Xiong Wuyue was really too shrewish with her words that her high-class image was totally reduced now to a village shrew.

Second, why they would need an explanation if it wasn't true? Did it mean that they really called Xiong Wuyue for the role but was changed after?

Many of the journalists caught something here and decided to side with Xiong Wuyue in this scandal.

Xiong Wuyue's bold confidence was surging to the sky. She had nothing else now, only herself.

Listening to the murmurs of the media at the back and seeing their nodding heads, she also saw that the media seemed to side with her.

This made her feel like she could win this game. Carried away by her confidence, she began to target the host.

"I know you, Miss Wen Yin. Aren't you just covering for what this Song Xuantin did because you also felt a connection? After all, you two are no different."

The crowd fell silent before bursting out again. This time, their eyes were directed at the host, to Wen Yin.

They suddenly remembered the long-forgotten scandal that Wen Yin had in her early years of fame.

Wen Yin was a successful actress and finally retired as a host, but when she was in her early net-red years, she got into a scandal. News broke out that she had slept with the director during her fledgling acting years in exchange of getting a breakthrough in her career.

When she became a famous actress because of her good acting skills, the past dirt was suddenly dug out. When she was about to arrive at the peak of her career, her scandal came out and lasted for several months before it got buried by other scandals.

She laid low for a while, polishing her skills, then came back up again, whitewashed her reputation by accepting difficult roles, and finally proved to the public that she did not need hidden rules to secure her fame. She managed to win the public's heart by her great acting skills.

However, influenced by Xiong Wuyue's accusations right now, all her hard work suddenly seemed invisible as her old scandal was brought out again in front of everyone.

The eyes looking at Wen Yin were full of unspoken opinions and accusations.

Wen Yin's face paled slightly. However, as a seasoned and veteran actress who had experienced the wind and waves of the harsh entertainment world for many years, she was able to keep her amiable front. Still, her eyes became colder.

"So you don't have the right to speak the truth at this moment," Xiong Wuyue continued with an arrogant air.
