Chapter 838


    Ning Ran was only made aware that the second phase of the filming was postponed because of the


    sudden rain yesterday when she arrived at the set.


    Hence, Ning Ran could still resume the filming initially scheduled yesterday when she rejoined the crew


    that day.


    As for the real reason behind the postponement, whether it was truly because of the bad weather or the


    director''s insistence on waiting for Ning Ran''s return, she wouldn''t know.


    Nheless, Ning Ran was delighted to be able to continue participating in the filming and seeing the


    job through.


    Everyone was aware of Ning Ran bing one of the trending topics on the inte.


    Therefore, they behaved slightly awkwardly when greeting her. No one questioned her sudden


    departure the day before either.


    However, there was an anomaly, and that person was Ye Meng.


    Ye Meng thought Ning Ran would be absent for the rest of the show''s filming after negative news about


    thetter became widespread. Unexpectedly, Ning Ran returned to work so quickly.


    Ye Meng was reminded of her situation when she was involved in a scandal in the past. Her career


    went into a slump for an extended period at that time. Not to mention, Ye Meng''s talentpany even


    prohibited her from making public appearances.


    Inparison, Nanshi Corporation''s public rtions department managed to resolve Ning Ran''s


    predicament in just one afternoon and one night after unpleasant news about her circted in public


    yesterday. As a result, Ning Ran coulde back to work the next day.


    The importance of an artist having powerful support in the entertainment industry became distinctively


    apparent at that instant. With that thought in her mind, Ye Meng''s jealousy toward Ning Ran further


    intensified.


    Envious people would always unwittingly reveal their genuine emotions, and Ye Meng wasn''t an


    exception.


    Consequently, there was an unmistakable hint of bitterness when she spoke to Ning Ran. “Howe


    you''re able to return to work so swiftly?”


    Pin-drop silence filled the air.


    Everyone had deliberately avoided talking about that, yet Ye Meng intentionally mentioned the incident,


    causing the others to feel ufortable.


    Every artist in the entertainment industry couldn''t avoid being troubled by some negative news and


    having to endure low points in their careers at times.


    Hence, the best way of dealing with others when they were in a career slump would be not to talk about


    it so as to avoid rubbing salt in others'' wounds.


    As a seasoned artist in the industry, Ye Meng''s insensitive behavior was undoubtedly disappointing.


    That showed how jealousy could corrupt one''s reasoning ability and lower someone''s EQ and IQ.


    Although Ning Ran didn''t anticipate Ye Meng to put her in a tight spot immediately, she didn''t panic.


    Instead, she shed a faint smile and answered straightforwardly, “This speedy return is beyond my


    expectations too. Nan Chen''s team did a wonderful job of efficiently rifying all those derogatory


    remarks directed toward me in such a short period.”


    Ning Ran aimed to unt, but not excessively. Indeed, I can resume working so quickly because I have


    someone supporting me. What''s the matter? Do you have a problem with that?


    Shi Jie immediately chimed in, “It''s so great that you''re back, Ms. Ding. The filming for this show will


    lose its purpose if you''re absent.”


    Huang Zichao piped up at once as well, “That''s right. We came here together, so we must also finish


    the filming as a group. It won''t be desirable for anyone to depart the show halfway through. Besides, I


    have faith in Ding Mi''s character. She''ll never take part in those illegal doings. Someone must''ve


    attempted to vilify her on purpose.”


    Ye Meng felt more embarrassed as a best actor award winner, Huang Zichao, and famous star, Shi Jie,


    expressed their support for Ning Ran.


    She deeply regretted bringing up that matter, putting herself in a stance opposing Ning Ran''s and


    simultaneously invoking Huang Zichao and Shi Jie''s displeasure.


    Politics existed wherever there were people. Simrly, the political state of affairs couldn''t be avoided


    even during the short gathering of a few artists during a show''s recording.


    And in that micro-scale political circle, Ning Ran was obviously far more well-liked than Ye Meng.


    Ye Meng''s inconsiderate gesture stemmed from her unwillingness to admit Ning Ran was more popr


    than her.


    At that instant, she felt utterly remorseful as her action caused her to be caught up in a more


    unfavorable situation.


    Ye Meng grinned nervously. “Actually, I think so too. There are all kinds of fake news on the inte


    nowadays. I''m also being criticized all the time for no reason. Naturally, I believe in Ding Mi too. I''ll fully


    support you by asking my talent agent to publish a statement on Weibo in the afternoon to stand up for


    you!”


    Ye Meng proffered a constructive suggestion. Shi Jie was the first to concur again. “There''s no need to


    wait until the afternoon. I''ll post on my Weibo ount to vouch for Ms. Ding''s innocence now.”


    Huang Zichao also got on board with the n. “In that case, let''s all publish a statement on our Weibo


    ounts to side with Ding Mi and let others know we ce our trust in her.”


    Ning Ran smiled. “Thank you for having confidence in me, but I don''t think it''s necessary to make the


    announcements on Weibo.”


    Ning Ran was certainly thrilled to receive their support, but she also knew an artist''s social media


    ount was usually managed by their talentpany.


    In other words, an artist did not have the freedom to publish any statement they liked. They would have


    to acquire theirpany''s approval before taking a public stance.


    Although Shi Jie and the others personally rooted for Ning Ran, the same could not be said for their


    talentpanies.


    Hence, she didn''t want to make things difficult for them or trouble them to negotiate terms with their


    companies for her sake.


    However, Ye Meng was very firm on that matter as she wanted to make up for the bad impression she


    left on everyone earlier. “We are taking part in the recording of the same show, so we''re all in the same


    boat. Therefore, we must share amon stand. I believe my team will have my back. I''ll contact them


    right away.”


    “I also think we should voice out together to stand up for Ms. Ding.” Shi Jie, a loyal and courageous


    youngster, was all the more passionate.


    At that moment, the director walked over. When he heard about their discussion, he also said he would


    convey the production team''s support of Ning Ran by making a deration on the show''s official


    Weibo.


    After separatemunications among various parties were held, the production team and all the


    celebrities involved in the show updated their Weibo status in unison in the afternoon to proim their


    support for Ning Ran.


    At the same time, more positive news about Ning Ran began to appear on the inte. As a result, she


    became one of the trending topics again.


    What was supposed to be a crisis evolved into an excellent opportunity to garner beneficial publicity


    following the resolution of that mess.


    Theizens started showing interest in the movies Ning Ran participated in previously, the shows she


    was filming, and the products recently endorsed by her.


    During the local opera performance at night, Ning Ran did a splendid job and was rewarded with the


    highest points.


    Due to her marvelous performance, the production team of I Am You recovered lost ground by winning


    the contest''s second round.


    On the other hand, Shi Jie and the others, who were on the losing side, would have to be punished.


    This time, the production team''s punishment for them was for all the celebrities on the losing team to


    provide pictures of them in their pajamas and let the production team post the photos on the show''s


    official social media ounts.


    Ultimately, the production team''s goal was to publicize and hype up the show, creating as many


    discussion-worthy topics rted to the program as possible to attract the public''s attention and


    increase the viewership ratings.


    Shi Jie''s picture featured him wearing pajamas with cute cartoon pictures printed on the clothes. The


    netizens showered him withpliments for his adorable and sweet appearance.


    Meanwhile, Ye Meng made a bold move by sharing a picture of her in a slinky, see-through nightgown,


    inadvertently disying her sexy figure. Unfortunately, the photo was a little too erotic.


    After her picture was published,izens immediately condemned her for deliberately exposing her


    body to seek attention.

    Subsequently, thembasting propelled Ye Meng to be the fifth most trending topic. Not to


    mention, her seductive nightgown photo was being spread wildly on the inte.


    Getting scolded was also a form of winning recognition. Ye Meng was very satisfied with securing a


    spot on the trending topics as that was her desired oue.


    As the celebrities participating in the show consecutively made headlines, the program attained


    unprecedented attention and even caused a sensation.


    Even Tang Jing, who had alwayscked presence, acquired close to one hundred thousand new


    followers overnight.


    Just when Ning Ran let out a sigh of relief, thinking things had finally settled down, another new gossip


    emerged on the inte.


    This time, the scandal was about Nan Chen getting photographed while entering a hotel with a


    gorgeous woman.
