TRMP Chapter 46

The company’s reaction wasn’t fast, but Yang Yan made it too obvious.

Passersby don’t know the inclinations of various marketing accounts and can only glean insights through long-term observation. However, entertainment companies that control resources quickly learned the details of each marketing account through various channels.

Yang Yan’s actions were clumsy, and the other company didn’t intend to help her strategize; the crude methods were full of holes.

When the company’s higher-ups learned about the situation, they were furious.

Yang Yan’s agent was also tricked by her.

The company called Yang Yan in for a talk and took back control of her public account.

Jiang Yifeng had always thought his company was useless, but when the company actually took action, he realized – even the weakest entertainment company is still overwhelmingly powerful when facing an individual.

Yang Yan left too many handles to be grabbed and too many flaws to exploit.

The production team first came forward to say they were in negotiations with Yang Yan, confirming that Yang Yan was filming in several production teams at the same time. This “Rolling a show” (filming multiple shows simultaneously) behavior violated the consensus of the production team and delayed the normal schedule. Therefore, the production team was discussing with Yang Yan whether to continue fulfilling the contract.

Yang Yan’s personal account was taken away by the company, and coupled with the production team stating the truth, even if she wanted to respond, she couldn’t refute the behind-the-scenes photos of her in different production teams during the same filming period, which the marketing accounts had dug up.

The company’s marketing accounts and hired internet commentators put in effort, and public opinion reversed by a small margin.

The company also directly talked with Yang Yan, either pay a large sum in damages for breach of contract, or terminate the contracts with the other two production teams.

Yang Yan specifically sought help from the target company, but the other party was unwilling to prepay such a large sum of money to help her through the difficulties.

Yang Yan was in a dilemma and ultimately had to choose to terminate the contracts with the other two production teams – the other parties understood Yang Yan’s actions, and the damages they demanded were not high, but she still had to bleed a lot of money to suppress the termination.

After the termination, the company threw another bombshell.

They canceled all of Yang Yan’s subsequent work schedules and released the news that Yang Yan would continue filming. The fans and viewers who originally supported Yang Yan were almost backstabbed by Yang Yan. Under the influence of public opinion, even rational fans felt betrayed.

Jiang Yifeng noticed that Yang Yan’s emotional state was very bad in those few days.

Most of the crew in the self-made drama were from the company. Yang Yan offended several senior executives, and it was almost predictable that her future was bleak.

As a result, she was also ostracized within the production team.

Experiencing setbacks from the internet to life, the originally proud and ambitious person was severely beaten by life.

Jiang Yifeng felt uncomfortable just thinking about that feeling.

In addition, Yang Yan’s heart was not good. She had only been discharged from the hospital for a few days and had suffered a series of blows. Jiang Yifeng was a little afraid that she would not be able to hold on.

After a scene, Jiang Yifeng looked at Yang Yan, who was pale, and couldn’t help but call for a pause.

“What’s wrong?” The director poked his head out from behind the camera.

Jiang Yifeng didn’t look at Yang Yan, just smiled apologetically, “Director, I don’t think that part was acted very well just now.”

As the company’s actor, Jiang Yifeng had also won some good reviews online for taking Yang Yan to the hospital a few days ago, coupled with his identity as the Lio global spokesperson, the company intended to promote him.

When he called for a pause, the director also politely suspended filming.

Jiang Yifeng put on his coat and pretended to pick up the script and read it, gesturing as he read.

He suddenly felt someone approaching and sitting next to him.

Jiang Yifeng’s peripheral vision saw Yang Yan sitting in a seat next to him, quietly flipping through the script with her head lowered.

“Thank you.”

Yang Yan’s voice was very soft.

Jiang Yifeng turned his head to look over. His fluffy and soft hair was trembling in the wind, and there was no expression on his beautiful face, just looking at Yang Yan.

“There’s no need to be sad,” Jiang Yifeng said slowly, “That wasn’t a good opportunity.”

“Huh?” Yang Yan looked at Jiang Yifeng, a hint of grievance in her eyes.

Jiang Yifeng’s expression was unusually gentle, his slightly lowered eyelashes full of tenderness, “If they really wanted the best for you, they wouldn’t have chosen this opportunity, and they wouldn’t have used such obvious marketing accounts to create hype for you.”

Yang Yan clenched her fists. Her cheeks flushed red with anger, but she didn’t know where to direct her anger.

She didn’t even have that last bit of capital.

Originally, she was the company’s main second-tier female star, but there were too many replaceable female stars in the second-tier position. When she had an accident, the company could shift resources to the next person without any hesitation.

It wasn’t until she was completely abandoned that she realized that she wasn’t that uniquely independent star in the entertainment circle, but one of the thousands of stars with weak light that could be obscured by dark clouds at any time and whose light could be exhausted and disappear at any time.

Unimportant at all, and no one missed her.

“They probably weren’t sincere from the beginning. I remember they had several major marketing accounts with unclear identities… like ‘Brother Ba Talks About Movies,’ ‘Dog and Cat Diary’…”

“How do you know?”

“…” Jiang Yifeng smiled as he looked at Yang Yan.

–He couldn’t possibly tell Yang Yan that the remittance accounts for the likes, reposts, and forwarding tasks of those marketing accounts were the same, right?

Yang Yan pursed her lips and asked again, “Do you have a background? Is it your lover?”

Jiang Yifeng felt that Yang Yan was too anxious.

Because she was anxious, even her attitude became eager and flustered.

She was eager to get an answer.

“No.”

Perhaps Jiang Yifeng’s tone was too calm, Yang Yan realized that her tone was too anxious and too gleeful.

She regained her composure, first apologized to Jiang Yifeng, and then asked with a smile, “But I’ve already done it. Now the company clearly wants to shelve me, and all the money I saved in the past two years has been handed over to the company. How can I get back on my feet?”

“The company has already invested so much money in this drama and hired external help from outside. It’s impossible for them to edit it randomly because of you.” Jiang Yifeng glanced at the director, who was still adjusting the equipment, examining every scene that had just been filmed extremely carefully.

Yang Yan swallowed.

She seemed to have realized something.

“As long as you can prove your value with one drama, and create some waves at least a year later, then the company won’t give up on you. The company won’t give up on someone with value.”

Jiang Yifeng’s eyes still looked at Yang Yan gently and peacefully, without any change.

Yang Yan stared straight at Jiang Yifeng.

She suddenly said, “Jiang Yifeng, I want to ask you to help me. Anything you want is fine, as long as you’re willing to help me.”

“My boyfriend doesn’t have any background,” Jiang Yifeng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“No, I mean…” Yang Yan took a deep breath: “I hope you can guide me in acting. I want to, act the role well, even better.”

This was her only chance.

This was her only chance to climb up.

She had to grab it tightly.

In the following days, Yang Yan seemed to have completely let go of her reserve.

She begged Jiang Yifeng, arrived at the set early every day to wait for him, and then asked Jiang Yifeng to help her go through her scenes.

The original three dramas became one drama, and all the variety shows and reality shows that had been agreed upon were cancelled. Yang Yan put all her time into this one drama, but it wasn’t as tiring as before.

Her acting skills couldn’t improve in a short period of time, but with Jiang Yifeng’s help, she was also improving bit by bit.

She gradually came out of her original state and gradually regained her youthful and energetic girlishness.

However, she was taking up Jiang Yifeng’s time, and a certain little vinegar king hidden in mid-air wasn’t so happy.

Every day, he secretly clung to the camera like a pervert, staring at Jiang Yifeng and Yang Yan’s interaction. In addition, Yang Yan had been pestering him a lot recently, so Xie Jingshen’s chat box was forced to shrink.

–In order not to disturb Jiang Yifeng’s work, sometimes Xie Jingshen even only saw Jiang Yifeng’s Q version image.

Xie Jingshen was very considerate and sensible and didn’t complain, but sometimes he couldn’t help but look at Yang Yan with a bit of resentment.

Damn it, he might as well have just reminded Yang Yan at the time.

Xie Jingshen held Jiang Yifeng’s sympathy doll in his hand and squeezed the doll’s face hard.

Jiang Yifeng’s action of guiding Yang Yan paused.

In Yang Yan’s surprised expression, Jiang Yifeng said very calmly, “This expression shouldn’t be too exaggerated. What the audience wants is a girl who is a little bit smart in everyday life, so don’t deliberately show off your most beautiful side.”

“You should inadvertently reveal this expression… like this…”

Jiang Yifeng’s beautiful face looked exceptionally good no matter what action he made, and Yang Yan also carefully watched Jiang Yifeng’s every move.

“But is it necessary to show blushing?” Yang Yan asked with a frown: “I feel like blushing in this place doesn’t seem very good.”

“Huh?” Jiang Yifeng retracted his expression: “It’s not necessary.”

“But this side of your face is all red…” Yang Yan pointed to the side of his face and watched as the blush on Jiang Yifeng’s face seemed to spread under her reminder. Yang Yan immediately closed her mouth tightly.

–It seemed like she said something wrong.

Jiang Yifeng cursed Xie Jingshen a hundred times in his heart.

With a red face, he wrinkled his nose and continued to act out the part just now, but his eyes secretly aimed at the white light on the top of his head.

–That’s too much! He actually pinched his face while he was acting!

Jiang Yifeng decided to extend the teaching time tonight.

He would say good night to Xie Jingshen later, much later!

He would even only say good night to Xie Jingshen tonight!

He was going to leave him hanging!

Yang Yan always felt that Jiang Yifeng’s aura seemed to be even stronger.

It scared her so much that she wanted to hide…

The author has something to say:

Yang Yan: I always feel that his blushing is very strange, very suspicious.
