Chapter 416: Have You Seen an Artiste Like Her?
The production team then released another official statement immediately after the first. This time, they uploaded a picture of Su Jinhang before they wrote: “Welcome to the <Secret of the Nation> family.”
[Oh my god! The production team has decided to replace Lin Kaiyan with another actor!]
[Good choice! I think that the production team has made a really good choice. Why would they want to waste any more time and resources on someone who filmed half-heartedly and walked away before the director called it a wrap?]
[I had already expected the production team to take this step based on how Lin Kaiyan acted. Anyway, I have seen this young actor before! He is really very handsome, as well as very hardworking and determined! Most importantly, I am certain that he would not leave the recording studio halfway through the filming process!]
[Is Lin Kaiyan happy now? I can’t believe that he threw away his resources like that.]
[I have a bold conjecture. I heard that Jiang Yuning kept stealing the limelight when they were recording the program. Moreover, Jiang Yuning was outshining Lin Kaiyan in every way because she was so witty and brilliant. Would you all agree with me if I said that this is the reason why Lin Kaiyan was finding fault with Jiang Yuning?]
[I guess that could also be a possibility…just think about it. Lin Kaiyan previously turned down the role of the first male lead in the drama <Yan Huasu> simply because he felt that Jiang Yuning was not worthy enough to act beside him. Now, things have turned around because Jiang Yuning outperformed him in the variety program. Wouldn’t that be a huge blow to his self-esteem?]
[Whatever it is, Lin Kaiyan has already lost the battle.]
Lin Kaiyan was so furious and he almost lost his cool when he saw that the production team had decided to replace him with another actor. He was even more annoyed with the fact that he would be replaced by such a young and inexperienced actor. Was the production team making fun of him now?
…
“Kaiyan, what did you do? Why are you so willful? You did not show much reaction or disgust when I previously informed you that Jiang Yuning would also be appearing as a guest participant on the variety program. That was the reason I thought you understand the bigger picture and you would therefore control your own emotions and act in a professional manner when it comes to work. What did you do then? How could you walk out of the recording studio when everyone was not done filming the program? Who would dare invite you to participate in any other variety programs in the future?” the vice chairman questioned Lin Kaiyan at this time. He was so furious that he slammed his hands on the table as he yelled at Lin Kaiyan. “Look at the mess that you have created! The production team has released an official statement and the video that was leaked by the netizen is not in your favor at all! Can’t you be like Jiang Yuning? She kept quiet throughout the entire situation and now, she has the support of all the netizens and the public! The agency cannot even say anything when the production team decided to replace you with an actor with no experience, and do you know the reason? It’s because you brought this upon yourself!”
“Now everyone knows about the attitude of the television broadcast station. Do you know how embarrassing it is for you to be replaced by an actor who is less qualified or experienced as compared to you? How are you going to continue progressing in the entertainment industry?”
How was he going to continue?
He was just going to do it.
“Nevermind, forget it. I don’t want to continue reasoning with you because you will not listen to any logic right now. The company will ask the public relations department to prepare an apology statement and if you want this matter to be resolved quickly, it would be best for you to take the initiative to own up to your mistakes.”
Who was he going to apologize to? Jiang Yuning?
“However, if you refuse to apologize to Jiang Yuning, then I would advise you to go abroad for a long vacation. Stay out of the limelight until everything had already passed.”
Wasn’t this equivalent to the company giving him the cold treatment?
“Why did you have to provoke Jiang Yuning, out of everyone else? I have already told you time and time again that Jiang Yuning is not someone you should provoke because she is not easy to deal with. Why can’t you just listen to the company’s arrangements for once in your life? She is well-known for her wittiness in dealing with her enemies. Have you seen an artiste like her? All of her fans are so well-behaved and well-mannered, and they are the most harmonious group of fans that I have ever seen. Jiang Yuning can destroy you and block all your resources without even lifting a finger, and yet, she is not implicated in this matter at all. Who do you think you are?”
Lin Kaiyan’s face turned pale as he sat on the sofa.
He had never expected his career to be destroyed by Jiang Yuning’s hands.
“Jiang Yuning had planned each and every one of her moves before she took any action. Ultimately, you are the only unlucky one to have fallen for her trap.”
“You should leave and go abroad now. Come back when things have calmed down a little.”
“I won’t leave,” Lin Kaiyan replied as he shook his head. “I really don’t believe that Jiang Yuning can continue being so arrogant. There will definitely be a way to take her down.”
“Then I am warning you, Lin Kaiyan—if you continue provoking and challenging Jiang Yuning, I am afraid that no one will be able to save you when she unleashes her full revenge on you.”
