Chapter 955: Become a Scapegoat
“Then what should we do now?” Yuan Keqing’s bad ideas came one after another in the past, but in the showbiz, she was still a rookie.
She wasn’t clear about some of the operations.
Xu Mingjing was also listening at the side.
If something happened to Yuan Keqing, she naturally had to follow up the whole process.
Ever since she heard Yuan Keqing talk about this matter, she had been with Yuan Keqing.
Now that she heard Meng Fanzhen’s words, Xu Mingjing also began to think.
Although she wasn’t a person in the showbiz, she felt that Yuan Keqing would join in sooner or later, she had also done a lot of research.
In addition, Xu Mingjing knew how to scheme since she was a child, so she was much more experienced than Yuan Keqing.
Xu Mingjing’s brain worked quickly, and soon she had an idea.
“I have an idea. You guys see whether it’s feasible,” Xu Mingjing said to Yuan Keqing and Meng Fanzhen.
“Go ahead,” Meng Fanzhen said quickly.
“Look, no one knows about the account that exposed this matter. What’s it called? An alternate account or something?” Xu Mingjing said.
“I’m an alternate account, don’t ask,” Meng Fanzhen added.
“Yes, it’s this account. Let’s call it an alternate account for now.” Xu Mingjing nodded, “No one knows where it came from, and as its name suggests, it’s an alternate account, it could belong to anyone.”
“Is it possible that it belongs to Guo Saisai, or even it was herself?” Xu Mingjing said, “Even if it’s not her, it can still be her.”
“Not long after this alternate account exposed the matter, some marketing accounts followed up. Who would believe it if it wasn’t planned and spent a lot of money?” Xu Mingjing chuckled, “No matter who the mastermind is, we can investigate it later. But at this moment, the mastermind must be Guo Saisai.”
“Guo Saisai was kicked out of the cast because of her poor acting skills, so she held a grudge. When Moon Shines Over the River first aired, she arranged for an alternate account to expose it, and then she came out as a victim to verify the matter,” Xu Mingjing said, “We only need to make the matter into this.”
“Then, the authenticity of what Guo Saisai said is very questionable. As long as every one is discussing the authenticity of her painting, the damage to you will be reduced,” Xu Mingjing said.
Yuan Keqing’s eyes lit up. “Yes, this is a good idea!”
Meng Fanzhen also said, “This is indeed a good idea. Our company has a few alternate accounts that we can use. I’ll go buy a trending search.”
“Then hurry up!” Yuan Keqing urged.
Meng Fanzhen quickly went to do it.
It didn’t take long for Meng Fanzhen to finish this mission.
Just as the netizens were still criticizing Yuan Keqing, the situation suddenly changed again.
Some people said, “I’m an alternate account, don’t ask” was actually arranged by Guo Saisai.
Guo Saisai took the initiative to expose the truth, and then she came out as a victim to confirm the matter.
With the deliberate guidance of the Internet trolls, the public opinion was once again polarized.
One side believed in Guo Saisai, the other side believed in Yuan Keqing.
“I watched Moon Shines Over the River when I was bored. Yuan Keqing’s acting skills are indeed average. Guo Saisai’s acting skills may not be very good, but it is definitely enough to crush Yuan Keqing. It makes sense that Guo Saisai was kicked out of the production team because her acting skills were not up to par. But it makes no sense to let Yuan Keqing, whose acting skills are not even as good as Guo Saisai’s, come.”
“This doesn’t make sense. On the contrary, Guo Saisai’s words make sense.”
“It’s obviously that Guo Saisai directed and acted a show herself. Guo Saisai said that she didn’t want to cause trouble for the production team, but as soon as someone leaked the news, she immediately came out. It’s obviously in purpose.”
“Yeah, if she really doesn’t want to cause trouble for the production team, she can keep quiet. Why did she come out again? She said that she didn’t want to cause trouble, but at the same time, she came out to make clarification. It is self-contradictory.”
Guo Saisai saw that Yuan Keqing made a false accusation. She was so angry that his whole body trembled.
“Sister Chen, I recorded it at that time,” Guo Saisai said, “I told you about this. Do you remember?”
“I remember. You said that you were afraid that it would be useful in the future, so you secretly recorded it with your mobile phone.” Chen Jiangling nodded.
It was not easy for Guo Saisai to climb up in this entertainment industry.
From a minor supporting role at the beginning to the second female lead now.
Because she did not have a strong background, she had to put in a lot of efforts and encountered a lot of difficulties to get to where she was today.
Guo Saisai gained a lot of experience during these years.
Although she was angry, she did not panic. She could still think of a viable escape route for herself at the first moment.
Guo Saisai did not know when she would need to use it. Anyway, she had to record her conversation with the assistant director first.
“However, if you make the recording public, it will have a great impact on you. If you make the recording public, everyone will be wary of you. I’m afraid that no crew is willing to use you. After all, no one is willing to take the risk of using an actor who will make the conversation recording public if they unsatisfied with something.
“People will be careful when talking to you. they don’t dare to say anything because they are afraid that you’ll get something on them. Since they don’t dare to talk to you, they might not use you either.” Chen Jiangling said seriously, “Saisai, you’re not irreplaceable yet. Even if you’re the second female lead, there are still a lot of people who want to act. There are many younger ones and those who are cheaper than you.”
“If you make the recording public, your competitiveness will drop drastically in the future.”
“But I can’t believe it. Yuan Keqing stole my role but now she’s blaming me.” Guo Saisai’s eyes were red. “I originally thought that I could take revenge this time.”
“How about... asking Tan Mo?” Chen Jiangling suggested, “Since she agreed to arrange a role for you in the third season of Broken Continent, we can also confirm that her promise is still there.”
“I think that alternate account might be somebody of Tan Mo’s side, or even herself. Although I don’t know what kind of grudge she has with Yuan Keqing, in the current situation, you are the scapegoat for her,” Chen Jiangling suggested, “So it’s normal to discuss it with her.”
Guo Saisai nodded. When he was about to look for Tan Mo, unexpectedly, she received a call from Tan Mo first.
“It’s Tan Mo!” Guo Saisai said nervously, “Will she blame me for not doing my job properly?”
“Pick up the phone first and listen to what she has to say. Don’t make wild guesses,” Chen Jiangling said.
Guo Saisai licked his lips and picked up the phone, then turned on the speakerphone again.
“Tan Mo, I just posted a long article and told the truth about Yuan Keqing stealing my role,” Guo Saisai said, “I definitely didn’t add anything to it. But now, the public opinion has suddenly changed. I was accused of using an alternate account to expose the news first, then pretending to be a victim for taking revenge on the film crew.”
“I know. I called you because I saw this,” Tan Mo said calmly.
