Many netizens felt sympathy for them.
There were also many people who requested to investigate the truth of the Li family’s matter back then.
Although Shi Jin was no longer a member of the Li family, her relationship with Gu Jingyuan was not ordinary. On the Internet, she was scolded extremely badly by haters.
Liang Xinran was not any better. She and Gu Jingyuan officially announced that they were a couple.
Li Nan had already passed away, and Gu Jingyuan was not around. There was no way to investigate what had happened back then. Everyone had nowhere to vent their anger, so they naturally targeted Shi Jin and Liang Xinran.
!!
Shi Jin was slightly better. With the bodyguards Fu Xiuyuan had arranged, almost no one could get close.
When Liang Xinran entered the set early in the morning she was splashed with leftovers.
The director could not film for the time being, so he instructed the assistant to send her back first.
When Shi Jin heard the news, she said, “I’ll go over.”
Fu Xiuyuan nodded. “I’ll drive you.”
As he drove, he called Song Fan. “Arrange bodyguards for Liang Xinran according to Shi Jin’s scale.”
“I’m going upstairs,” Shi Jin told Fu Xiuyuan before heading upstairs.
Fu Xiuyuan watched her go upstairs.
Liang Xinran had already taken a shower and was sitting on the sofa with a cup of hot tea. When she saw Shi Jin coming over, she smiled. “Oh my god, thank goodness it’s only leftovers. At that time, I was really afraid that it was something else. If I was disfigured, how would I film? What if Jingyuan doesn’t recognize me when he comes back?”
“I talked to the crew and asked them to give you two days off first.”
“Just as well. I don’t want to take a vacation, but I don’t want to continue to cause them trouble. Two days off is good. I’ll go shoot some advertisements. I haven’t done what I promised yet.”
“Xinran…” the manager said. “… those two commercials. They said they’d hold off for now. Take the time to get some rest.”
Shi Jin and Liang Xinran understood. It seemed that the manufacturer was still considering whether to continue using Liang Xinran.
The artistes with dirt on them on the market now would bring great harm to the product itself. Although Liang Xinran was not considered an artiste with dirt on her, Gu Jingyuan’s matter still affected her greatly.
“What about your side?” Liang Xinran asked Shi Jin.
“I also have a few events canceled for the time being.” Shi Jin shrugged.
“We’re sisters in hardship!” Liang Xinran reached out to shake her hand.
Her attitude indirectly reduced the pressure on Shi Jin and her manager.
When Shi Jin left, the manager followed her out. “Shi Jin, you know more about the industry than I do. I want to ask you if Xinran’s role can be kept? It doesn’t matter if she’s a business spokesperson. Acting is something she values very much. She really wants to speak with her work. If possible, can you help her keep her role as long as possible?”
“I’ll try.”
“Thank you, Shi Jin.” The manager was sincerely grateful. She knew too well that Liang Xinran’s journey had not been easy.
Liang Xinran did not have as many works as Shi Jin, who had many things on her side that could withstand the pressure of public opinion.
She was afraid that if she was not careful, Liang Xinran would only be able to film the third and fourth female lead scenes in the future and lose all her options.
The production team was indeed very suspicious of Liang Xinran.
The producer sat in front of Shi Jin and said helplessly, “Miss Shi, you also know that the public’s aversion to low-quality artistes is very strong. As Gu Jingyuan’s girlfriend, Xinran is so involved with the Li family that we have no choice but to consider the cost. If it can’t be broadcasted after filming, how will the losses be calculated?”
“I can assure you that the Li family and Gu Jingyuan will not have any problems.”
“Miss Shi, I can’t take your word for it. I know that you have a good reputation in the industry and you’re not a member of the Li family anymore. Actually, I want to persuade you to cut ties with them as soon as possible so that you won’t be implicated. Miss Shi, please understand me.”
The producer wasn’t a bad guy, but he had his own concerns.
Everyone’s interests were something he had to consider.
Shi Jin thought for a moment and said, “How about this? What’s the cost and expected income of this drama? Give me an accurate figure and I’ll pay for it. Double the price.”
“Miss Shi, you—”
“Mr. Wu wouldn’t abandon such a good business, would he?”
“Alright, I’ll get someone to calculate immediately! That’s settled!”
When they got the contract, Yao Jiahong went to sign it.
He was already the important project manager of Time TV. Other than continuing to be Shi Jin’s manager, he was not in charge of other artistes’ matters.
The assistant manager beside him whispered, “Brother Yao, do you really think this deal is worth it? Liang Xinran’s current situation…”
“Shi Jin naturally has her reasons for what she has decided.” Yao Jiahong glanced at him indifferently. “Why? Do you have a problem with that?”
“N-no.” The assistant manager’s opinion was in his stomach. How could he dare show it again?
