Transmigration of the Famous Cyber Star

Chapter 163: The Tardy Apology

Tang Tu said and did all he wanted, then directly walked towards the exit and quickly caught up with the group of police. As he left the cast, his free silhouette and heavy steps made him look like a victorious general. His fans didn’t call him National Male God for no reason; he did have the power and ability to become one.

Yang Huayue, who was an onlooker this entire time, almost laughed out loud. Tang Tu did a beautiful job! She wanted to drop a like on Tang Tu’s actions.

Feng Qingyu had also watched the entire scene. She had no interest in those messy, fandom gossip online about Tang Tu and Liu Man. Liu Man was just a low-tiered, unpopular cyber star; she was not paying attention to it.

Feng Qingyu told her assistant, “I think Tang Tu is overreacting a bit. It’s good to have rumors about yourself because it means someone’s paying attention to you. With more attention comes more popularity! Why did he have to deliver such severe punishments? He only cares about his benefits and doesn’t look at the wider scene. Now that the male lead got arrested, what are we supposed to do with the last few scenes? They are wasting my time. I was planning on immediately going back to the capital after we finished shooting after two days.”

Yang Huayue heard Feng Qingyu’s words and laughed coldly instead. Feng Qingyu didn’t care about wasting others’ time, but she wouldn’t allow anyone else to waste her time.

So, her time was more precious?

Ye Zian did not wait for Qiu Jing and Gao Jindong to take the initiative to call him. As soon as Tang Tu left, he immediately took out his phone and called Qiu Jing.

As expected, Qiu Jing knew about Tang Tu’s actions at the cast. She said, “We’ve already found you a substitute for Qiao Xin, and this plan should be enough to finish shooting the scenes on these last two days. We will still go after Qiao Xin for violating the contract, and he and his agent will have to compensate for our losses. Don’t worry, even if Qiao Xin gets exposed by the journalists this time, the movie will still not get influenced.”

TL’s Note: By substituting for Qiao Xin, Qiu Jing meant this substitute will be able to act as if he was Qiao Xin, and they just won’t film his face.

“How can it not be influenced?” Ye Zian didn’t believe in her.

Movies shut down forever if an exposed celebrity participated in it. The only way to avoid it was to put in massive amounts of money and change actors halfway. It was the entertainment circle’s rule that everyone had to follow.

Qiu Jing, on the other side of the call, sighed and told Ye Zian, “Do you know who Tang Tu’s father is?”

“Who?” Ye Zian did not care, at all, about this kind of information in the past; however, he had to care now.

“Tang Daqing.”

Ye Zian was surprised. Tang Daqing had great amounts of power; none of the media dared to expose information about his family. Citizens only knew that his wife was a violinist, who retired shortly after marrying him.

Tang Tu did not look like the son of someone with a powerful job; he looked more like an artist. His personality did not make him seem like a son of a powerful person, so it was hard for anyone to realize he was Tang Daqing’s son. Tang Tu did such a good job keeping the secret; no wonder he never feared anything.

Qiu Jing said, “You put so much of your hard work into your movie, and Tang Tu has also paid a lot of work and time for this. His father will never let his son do something without any reward. The movie will definitely successfully get released, and there will be lots of audiences.”

Qiu Jing’s comfort did not bring much effects.

Ye Zian made himself a promise in his mind:

He will not let any powerful actors with lots of social connections participate in his next movie.

They were all born with a golden spoon in their mouth; Ye Zian couldn’t afford to deal with them!

During the two days when Tang Tu and Hanfu Goddess’s rumor was the most popular on the internet, Tang Tu, as if he had vanished, did not appear in public. The paparazzi never had any chance to take photos of him. He didn’t send another Wei Bo post, either; his newest post was still a video of a chef cooking a seafood feast, which he forwarded five days ago.

Now, the incident was gradually solving itself; the amount of attention paid to it gradually decreased; Hanfu Goddess’s morality was proved by countless celebrities and fans; she had admitted to having a real boyfriend. Many onlookers and bypassers gradually started liking Hanfu Goddess. Her Wei Bo account, “Princess Man”, was gaining many fans and had a sudden increase in popularity.

Right at this time, Tang Tu sent two Wei Bo posts at once. They were two very, very, very short and brief posts.

The first one: “@Qiao Xin @Newsbreaker Zhang Daqiang, @Capital Police Department has already taken care of this incident according to the laws.”

The second one: “@Princess Man, sorry. @Shen Mozhen, sorry.”

Although there weren’t many words in these two posts, they contained lots of information. They attracted the attention of many netizens as soon as they got posted.

“Such concise posts… Tang Tu is starting to talk less.”

“What does he mean, pinging the capital police department?”

“The most important thing is, he pinged Qiao Xin before he pinged the capital police department!”

“If we connect all three of these Wei Bo accounts, I feel like I suddenly understand some kind of astonishing event.”

“A friend of mine is a journalist in the entertainment industry. I heard him say that Zhang Daqiang got arrested by the police this morning; he looked very embarrassing.”

“Wow, breaking news!”

“Zhang Daqiang, who brags and flaunts all the time, met a more powerful character this time. He’s probably a goner this time.”

“I’ve started thinking Zhang Daqiang is annoying since a long time ago. He pretends to be the only moral person on top of the entertainment circle as if everyone’s wrong, and he’s the only correct one. He’s just earning money by exposing people, and he’s nothing.”

“Is Qiao Xin the one who sneaked screenshots of the chat history between Tang Tu and the Hanfu Goddess?”

“Obviously. Have you seen any normal people got close to accessing Tang Tu’s phone? It’s impossible for normal staff and extras, right? It’s only possible for actors who are in a similar tier as him.”

“Qiao Xin is only three years older than Tang Tu, and they are both male idol actors. They have a classical competitive relationship. Qiao Xin spent more than ten years in this circle, but he isn’t even as popular as Tang Tu, who only spent four years. I suppose Qiao Xin intentionally framed Tang Tu because of his jealousy.”

“Then Tang Tu’s a big character. He made the cops arrest both of them without a sound, and Tang Tu even wanted them to get punished according to the laws. Does that mean Qiao Xin is going to have to get jailed?”

“I’ve never realized Tang Tu can be this arrogant and powerful, unlike some celebrities, who only dared to send lawyer letters on Wei Bo even though they got mistreated. The other celebrities couldn’t afford incidents to get too big, and they let the villains slip.”

“Maybe it’s because Zhang Daqiang and Qiao Xin were way out of bounds this time. Hanfu Goddess was in big trouble because of them.”

“Even the low-profile Shen Mozhen got pulled in. Both of these girls have bad luck.”

“I have a friend who’s an extra in this cast, and he said Qiao Xin is not a good person. In a scene where Qiao Xin and the Hanfu Goddess had to interact with each other, Qiao Xin took the opportunity to touch Hanfu Goddess’s butt.”

“WTF!”

“WTF! WTF!”

“I strangely also want to touch Hanfu Goddess’s butt.”

“The person above me… This is enough!”

“This is disgusting, to take advantage of your partner just because you can in this scene. Qiao Xin has no respect for his career. No wonder he dared to peek at Tang Tu’s phone; he deserves to get caught.”

“Mhm. No matter who’s right and who’s wrong, someone who digs out others’ privacy has a very unscrupulous personality.”

“Begone. He should be chased out of the entertainment circle.”

All the netizens went to Qiao Xin’s Wei Bo and commented on posts, saying that he should leave the entertainment industry.

Unfortunately, at this very moment, Qiao Xin was cowering in a prison cell with tears all over his face because of how much he regretted his life. He couldn’t see any of these comments.

TL’s Note: I find this last paragraph a bit funny, ngl… Sorry ?
