Chapter 83: Chapter 83 Fan Mengxue Gets Banned
Translator: 549690339
This is the press conference for the movie “War of the Gods”.
Many journalists had arrived early.
Because of their keen sense of smell, they had sniffed out a hint of big news.
Indeed.
When all the cast and crew of War of the Gods entered, there was a buzz of conversation from the crowd.
“How come Fan Mengxue isn’t here?”
“Right! She’s the absolute female lead, how could she possibly miss such an important press conference?”
“Hey, isn’t that Hua Ruyue, the hottest rising starlet in the circle? What’s she doing here?”
Amidst these conversations, Stephen said with a sullen face, “Due to personal reasons, Ms. Fan Mengxue has left the War of the Gods crew and will no longer play the female lead, with the new female lead role being taken on by Hua
Ruyue.”
Having said this, Stephen turned and left, expressing his unspoken anger with this action.
The entire place erupted in shock.
The journalists were practically going crazy.
This was earth-shattering news for the entertainment industry.
War of the Gods was the biggest investment and the most anticipated movie of the year.
So it naturally had the highest attention.
Now, with the sudden replacement of the female lead, one couldn’t help but let their imagination run wild.
“Miss Hua, what do you think about suddenly taking on the female lead role in such a large film like War of the Gods?”
Hua Ruyue’s delicate face bloomed with a formulaic smile as she replied lightly, “I have no particular thoughts; it all comes down to strength.”
Boom.
The crowd below was about to explode.
Fan Mengxue was, after all, a best actress awardee and known as the strongest actress of the new generation.
Now, according to Hua Ruyue’s implication, she was suggesting that she herself was better.
But these journalists loved a big scene and one quickly asked, “Miss Hua, are you implying that Fan Mengxue lacks strength?”
Hua Ruyue said, “I didn’t say that, but you’re welcome to understand it that way.”
“But after all, Fan Mengxue is your senior, and I heard that when you first entered the industry, she even helped you!” At this moment, a journalist who couldn’t stand it any longer spoke out.
Hua Ruyue let out a cold laugh, “In the entertainment industry, no one is anyone’s senior, and when she helped me initially, it wasn’t at my request — it was all voluntary on her part. Now that her popularity is declining and she’s been replaced, it’s only natural! That’s all I have to say!”
Hua Ruyue stood up, arrogantly lifted her face, and left with her nose in the air.
And this news sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry with terrifying speed.
Many television media broadcasted this press conference to the public immediately.
Han Yao sat in front of the TV, so angry that she threw the remote control.
“This ingrate, when you helped her so much before, and now she’s kicking you when you’re down!”
But Fan Mengxue remained calm, just sighing softly.
“Mengxue, why don’t we… tell Mr. Xue about it? His divine skills are vast; he should be able to solve this issue,” Han Yao tentatively asked.
Fan Mengxue shook her head, “Even if his divine skills are vast, what can he do? We’re up against the Xie Family!”
Han Yao also sighed.
The Xie Family had been established in the provincial city for decades and was now a colossal existence.
Although the Qin Family from Beijiang had risen up rapidly over the past decade, they were still outshone by the Xie Family.
This was evident from the fact that the Qin Family had no business arrangements in the provincial city.
That’s why Fan Mengxue was so pessimistic.
“What should we do then? If this isn’t handled well, your career could be completely ruined!” Han Yao was extremely anxious.
She had tried many methods over the past day or so, but none had worked.
Moreover, she had received contract termination letters from more than a dozen endorsement brands, all of which Fan Mengxue had once endorsed.
Han Yao was so furious that she cursed, thinking these people were purely kicking someone while they were down.
Fan Mengxue just smiled faintly, “The second young master of the Xie Family wants to use this method to force me to submit, but he’s mistaken. I won’t bow down!”
Beijiang.
Auntie Pang had just seen off a group of guests and was deep in her accounting work.
The TV was on, broadcasting a mess of news, which no one was watching seriously.
Xie Jingjing was cleaning up the table and dishes.
Suddenly.
A news flash interrupted, and it was about everything that had happened at today’s “War of the Gods” movie press conference.
Xie Jingjing wasn’t paying attention initially, but she stopped what she was doing when she saw half of it.
“Mom.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Listen… it seems to be about Miss Fan!”
“Miss Fan? Which Miss Fan?”
“It’s the Fan Mengxue you like the most!” Xie Jingjing urged anxiously.
Auntie Pang paused, also putting down her pen, and turned her head to watch carefully.
After a moment, her face was also filled with astonishment.
“This… what’s going on? Why suddenly change the actress?”
Xie Jingjing said with a stern face, “There must be a reason!”
Xie Jingjing took out her phone and began to search.
The more she read, the more shocking it became.
Many of the news headlines blared out.
Fan Mengxue brutally banned!
Auntie Pang also became anxious, “This Miss Fan once came over for dinner with your brother An. She seemed to have a good relationship with him. What should we do with this situation?”
Old Xie then came out of the kitchen. “What’s going on? Why all the shouting?”
“Old Xie, look, Miss Fan has been banned!”
Old Xie was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned serious.
“Quick! Call Xiao An!”
Xue An was in the room building blocks with his two daughters. Seeing that it was Old Xie calling, he answered.
“What’s up, Uncle Xie?” “Xiao An, have you watched TV?”
“No, what’s wrong?”
“Miss Fan, she’s been banned!”
“Banned?” Xue An’s smile slowly faded.
“Yes! Jingjing just looked it up, it seems she offended some bigwvig from the provincial city; now she’s been collectively banned, and even replaced in the movie.”
“I understand, Uncle Xie, don’t worry, with me here, no one dares to do anything to Mengxue!” Xue An said indifferently.
After hanging up the phone, Xue An immediately started dialing Fan Mengxue’s phone, but no one answered.
Xue An frowned and suddenly stood up.
“Daddy, what’s wrong?”
Xue An looked down and smiled at his daughters, “Nothing, hey, how about
Daddy takes you to the provincial city for a few days?”
“Yes! Yes!” Xue Xiang and Xue Nian nodded repeatedly.
An Qing walked into the living room at that moment and was also taken aback upon hearing this.
“What’s the purpose of going to the provincial city?”
Xue An briefly explained the situation.
An Qing’s expression grew grave.
“Offended a bigwig from the provincial city? Except for the Xie Family, no one else can claim to be a bigwig there!”
Then An Qing said gravely, “Xue An, the Xie Family is no ordinary family; even in Zhongdu, they have their influence. They’re far superior to the Qin Family, so you need to think this through.”
Xue An smiled lightly, “Bigwig? In my eyes, no one is worthy of being called a ‘bigwig’!”
“But…” An Qing wanted to say more.
Xue An waved his hand and said nonchalantly, “Fan Mengxue was my high school classmate. I know her character; she never says anything when something bothers her, but I promised her, if anyone dares to bully her, I would step in. So, I’ve got this!”
An Qing sighed, “Alright then, I’ll come too. After all, I’ve met the Xie Family a few times..
