Chapter 1600 - Classed As An Inferior Artiste
Chapter 1600: Classed As An Inferior Artiste
[However, Li Junyu’s manager did not pay me the amount agreed upon for a long time. She even said that she would pay me after the thesis was approved. I was in a hurry to use the money. I couldn’t contact her several times, so I looked for her on Weibo and left a comment.
[After that, she paid me the remainder of the balance. She hoped I would keep my mouth shut and not mention it again.
[However, seeing that everyone had found out that many of Li Junyu’s previous papers were problematic, my conscience was also condemned. I decided to stand up.
[A thesis is meant to showcase a student’s academic results over a few years. It’s also the standard by which schools and teachers judge if a student can graduate. It’s a professional matter and carries a lot of weight. It requires the students to spend time and effort to complete it.
[If a person fakes it, it’ll harm not only their own profession but also affect the other students in the batch.
“Of course, I know what I did was wrong. I shouldn’t have done such a thing for money in an industry that should be fair. I want to apologize to everyone. I hope you won’t do the same thing as me.]
The content posted by this netizen directly pushed Li Junyu to a dead end. It also made his manager’s previous cover-up look bad.
Li Junyu was also exposed for falsifying other papers.
When his image as a top student collapsed, his school was also drowned in public doubts.
In the end, the school announced that they would definitely investigate Li Junyu’s matter.
His collapse overnight naturally implicated not only him. Whether the broadcasting rights of A Tale of the Qin Dynasty could be sold or broadcasted on TV immediately raised a huge question mark.
The Xiao family’s share price was also on the verge of collapse.
When Su Bei received the news, she couldn’t believe it.
Previously, Xiao Bai had heard Li Junyu’s manager discussing the price of the thesis with someone on the phone. At that time, Su Bei had no evidence, so she had never mentioned this to anyone.
However, she did not expect the truth to be exposed by the netizens so quickly.
“He deserves it.” Yue Ze sat opposite her and said, “All of this is karma. If Li Junyu and his manager hadn’t stepped on you to gain popularity for publicity, there wouldn’t have been so many people paying attention to the two of them. There wouldn’t have been a spark just because of a comment from a netizen, and all the ugly things he did wouldn’t have been exposed to the public. It’s ridiculous.”
“How’s Li Junyu doing recently?” Su Bei asked.
“This matter is pretty much confirmed. He’s doing public relations now and trying to get everyone’s forgiveness. But I don’t think any student would forgive him. Because of what he did, all the schools are going to be stricter and will be investigating this matter. The impact of what he did is too great.”
Su Bei nodded. “That’s how inferior celebrities are. This isn’t a small matter, nor is it a small scandal. He can’t hope to brush it off after simply addressing it.”
“Let’s wait for the hype for A Tale of the Qin Dynasty to cool down.” Yue Ze was already very dissatisfied with the Xiao family’s actions and was very happy to see the current situation.
Su Bei recalled what had happened to her in that production team and couldn’t help but shake her head. The Xiao family and Tan Tian probably didn’t expect Li Junyu, this time bomb, to explode when publicity for the show was at its peak.
After Li Junyu’s matter was investigated by his school, it was confirmed that there were problems with his academics. The school did not cover up for him but made a statement and gave him the corresponding punishment.
His matter was sealed.
The students who were implicated and had to redo all their papers resented him. Despite Li Junyu’s two consecutive apologies, he was not forgiven.
His apologies were responded to with mockery.
Su Bei’s fans couldn’t be bothered to even pay any attention to him.
Only then were Tan Tian and Mr. Xiao dumbfounded. They did not expect that the TV show they had high hopes for would be implicated by such a thing.
Tan Tian remembered how Su Bei had taken the initiative to leave the production team. Now, it seemed that she had a premonition.
Su Bei was having lunch with Lu Heting when she received a call from Tan Tian.
She slid her finger across the answer button and chose to answer the call on speakerphone.
“Su Bei, you knew about Li Junyu’s matter long ago, right?” Tan Tian was a little exasperated.
Lu Heting was sitting across from Su Bei. His eyebrows darkened, and a dangerous glint appeared in his deep eyes.
“So what if I did?”
Tan Tian gritted his teeth. “You knew but didn’t tell me about it?”
“I don’t think I have that close of a relationship with you.” Su Bei smiled.
Tan Tian: “…”
He threatened her, “You’d better not let me find out that you’re involved in this.”
He was afraid of Lu Heting’s strength, so he didn’t dare to threaten her too much.
Su Bei was not involved in Li Junyu’s matter, nor did she add fuel to the fire. However, she knew that Tan Tian would not believe what she said.
Therefore, there was no need to talk to such a person.
After hanging up, she reached out and placed her hand on the back of Lu Heting’s. Only then did the dangerous aura around the man slowly subside.
“It’s okay. That’s all Tan Tian can do to me. He didn’t do anything to me when I was on set. Now, he can’t hurt me at all,” Su Bei comforted.
“I heard that Li Junyu has no hope of making a comeback, and this TV show can’t be broadcast smoothly.” Lu Heting was usually calm, but when he said this, he felt the pleasure of revenge.
Su Bei smiled, knowing that he was still fussing about Tan Tian. “Yes, they need to change the male lead. I just don’t know if they’ll use AI to change the male lead’s face or reshoot with a new actor.”
“The AI face-changing technology isn’t completely mature. It’s very difficult to use it for the entire movie, especially since the subject in question is the male lead. The cost of choosing to replace Li Junyu with another actor is also very high,” Lu Heting said. “Tan Tian might be in big trouble this time.”
Su Bei smiled. “Therefore, there’s no need to be angry with someone like him.”
When Tan Tian and the Xiao family saw that Li Junyu’s matter was so serious and that he was already classified as an inferior artiste with no hope of making a comeback in a short period of time, they were already in the midst of finding a new actor to replace him.
However, it was unknown if it was because Tan Tian and the Xiao family had previously protected Xiao Ming, but retribution came one after another. Just as they were about to start reshooting with a new male lead, something happened to the female lead, Jiang Manli.
Manli had driven out late at night and injured someone on the road. She originally thought that no one would have seen her late at night and planned to spend money to reach a settlement.
Who knew that the person she had injured was from a powerful family? How could they tolerate her spending money to solve the problem?
The injured person immediately sued her in court. Then, they gathered reporters and made the situation public.
