I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 433 She is not innocent
Not long after Xu Ting uttered this harsh remark, someone passed the news to Chen Qin.

Chen Qin was staying with Jinli in the hotel and could only watch the text version of the commentary. She wished she could rush to the scene right away.

It was Jinli who persuaded her: "What's the point of going now? Wouldn't it make people laugh at you? Xu Ting is a first-line star after all, and the heroine of this drama.

I am a supporting actress, and it is not appropriate for me to overshadow her. Now that she has chosen to expose this matter in front of the crew, she is already showing weakness to me and is also trying to protect her own reputation. Let's not join in the fun."

Chen Qin was persuaded to stop, but she was still excited and said, "Sister Jinli, someone sent me a message saying that Xu Ting promised to apologize to you in person on the set!"

Before Jinli could say anything, Chen Qin said indignantly: "Sister Jinli, I don't think you can accept Xu Ting's apology. What kind of star you have, what kind of assistant you have.

Xu Ting may not be unaware of what her assistant is doing, but since no one points it out, she is secretly condoning it! "

Jinli smiled meaningfully and said leisurely: "To be honest, I don't want to accept Xu Ting's apology. She has always been at odds with me in the crew, but she just didn't show it on the surface.

I also agree with some of your points. I think Xu Ting should have noticed something, but because the matter was not exposed, she pretended not to know.

If her assistant hadn't made a big fuss this time, not only spreading rumors within the crew but also outside the crew, Xu Ting might have continued to play dumb."

Chen Qin didn't know that Jinli had heard the rumor in the bathroom. Jinli had never mentioned it to her, and she only added silently in her heart.

"The most important thing is that I caught her red-handed. Xu Ting wasn't sure if I had recorded the audio, so she had to cut the Gordian knot and resolve the matter quickly."

Jinli thought to herself that one should not underestimate the world, and Xu Ting responded very quickly.

If she had been slower, she would have sent the recording to Director Chu.

She has a calm temperament and does not like to compete with others. She does not care much about status, advertising fees, or the level of announcements.

As long as time permits, it would be fine even if she could go to the mountainous areas to teach for a period of time.

But that doesn't mean she has no temper.

Xu Ting always secretly competed with her. She had the evidence, so there was no need for her to put herself in a difficult position for Xu Ting's sake.

A soft nail is more hateful than a hard nail.

Unfortunately, Xu Ting got the upper hand.

Chen Qin's eyes lit up and she said, "So you won't forgive her?"

Jinli asked back, "Do you really like watching me and the heroine fall out?"

Chen Qin smiled sheepishly: "No, no, I just think it's too easy for Xu Ting to let her go like this."

Jinli smiled slightly, glanced at her phone, and said thoughtfully.

"For the sake of harmony in the crew, the director will definitely take this matter lightly."

She changed the subject and said, "But you are right. If she apologizes, should I forgive her? So I will not take the initiative to ask about this matter. Regardless of whether Xu Ting is innocent or not, the assistant is Xu Ting's person after all."

Everything has a cause and an effect, and the theory of cause and effect is the most mysterious.

Xu Ting's assistant is an independent person, but there is no guarantee that Xu Ting is not an accomplice who guides her to do so.

Xu Ting is here.

She called the police after the crew spread the word, went to the police station to give a statement, and it was already evening when she returned to the crew.

The company temporarily assigned a new assistant to accompany her to the police station.

The new assistant didn't know much about the crew. Xu Ting had no one to use in the crew. After returning, she could only send a message to Bai Jiang:
[During the time I was away, did Jinli go to the crew? ]

Bai Jiang: [No]

Xu Ting: [What about her assistant? Have you seen her? ]

Bai Jiang: [Jinli's two assistants also didn't come]

Xu Ting frowned and asked tentatively: [Then do you know what Jinli thinks? I will publicly apologize to her in the crew tomorrow]

When Bai Jiang saw the message, he guessed what Xu Ting was thinking.

Xu Ting wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter, and apologize to Jinli in public in front of the crew to put an end to the matter.

This time, Bai Jiang did not think from the perspective of a friend, but looked at it from the perspective of an observer, and felt that Xu Ting's idea was too beautiful.

To offend someone like this, even if it was done by the assistant, who knows if Xu Ting was behind it?

Not every statement will be recorded, so the assistant cannot produce evidence. However, many people do not judge a matter based on evidence.

What the assistant said before had already been heard by someone with ulterior motives.

Therefore, simply apologizing on the set is not enough.

For Bai Jiang, it would be better for Xu Ting to contact Jinli first, have a meal with Jinli tonight, explain the matter properly, and apologize sincerely.

Maybe Jinli thought she was sincere enough and would not ask her to apologize publicly in front of the crew tomorrow.

After all, one is the female lead and the other is the supporting actress. They are at loggerheads in the crew. It would be too embarrassing if outsiders knew about it.

Bai Jiang hoped that Xu Ting could settle the matter privately, but Xu Ting obviously could not stand this humiliation and was unwilling to bow down.

She would rather pretend to be in a play in the crew, so that Jinli would have to agree to apologize to her because of the director's feelings and the atmosphere of the crew!

Bai Jiang frowned. For the first time, he felt that Xu Ting was too stubborn and too scheming.

So, was it true that the assistant did not spread the rumor at Xu Ting's behest?

Bai Jiang: [I don’t know what she thinks, but I suggest you contact her privately first. She is also a party involved and has the right to know the whole story.]

Xu Ting slightly pinched the frame of the phone, her brows furrowed, her expression serious.

Of course she knew that it would be best to talk to Jinli in private, but every time she thought about going to find Jinli, the embarrassing scene she encountered in the bathroom flashed through her mind.

【I still want to】——Delete it.

[Why don’t you ask Jinli for me] - Deleted.

[I feel a little awkward with her and don’t want to contact her privately] - Delete.

Xu Ting was extremely conflicted. She typed many messages but deleted them all.

When Bai Jiang saw the "Friends are typing" icon on WeChat, he was speechless.

He put the phone aside. He had tried to persuade her, but Xu Ting still wanted to make things so awkward with Jinli, so he just let her be.

He could sit back and do nothing, but Chu Chenliang couldn't. After Chu Chenliang finished filming the night scene and returned to the hotel, he felt a little uneasy, and kept thinking about what happened in the afternoon.

He has directed many works, and there will be some problems in every crew, and he has experience in dealing with them.

It's normal for the police to come to his house. He has to call the police in the middle of almost every filming, either because someone is stealing or intentionally injuring someone, etc.

But what Assistant Xu Ting said today reminded him of an incident in the past.

He filmed a movie a few years ago in which Xu Ting played a supporting actress. It was her first time to act in a movie with him.

Her situation that time was very similar to Jinli's this time. In that drama, although Xu Ting was the second female lead, she was becoming very popular and overshadowed the female lead.

The supporting role was more famous than the leading role, there were many different voices in the crew, and the atmosphere during filming was very sluggish. Finally, Xu Ting brought a recorder and cried to him that the female lead was saying bad things about her behind her back and took the lead in isolating her in the crew.

He was very angry after listening to the recording. He stood on Xu Ting's side without hesitation and had some unpleasantness with the female lead.

Although he didn't openly get angry with the female lead at the time, apart from the highlights arranged in the script, he had no strong desire to create this role.

On the contrary, he temporarily modified the role of Xu Ting several times, making her character more flesh and blood.

So as soon as the movie came out, Xu Ting unexpectedly became a hit because of that role, and naturally became the heroine of his next movie.

But her assistant's revelations in the afternoon reminded Director Chu of the past, and he suddenly became a little uncertain.

Is it really the heroine who is making trouble?
Could it be that he was scammed like today?

Chu Chenliang was not the kind of person who would hesitate. He opened WeChat, found the actor’s contact information, and made a voice call.

The actress was surprised that Director Chu came to her. A thought flashed through her mind: Is he here to ask her to act in a film?
When I picked up the phone, I found out that she was asking her about the filming of the crew in previous years.

This actor and Xu Ting have no connection for a long time. Although they are both first-line stars, she has fallen to a relatively marginal position.

At that time, Xu Ting's character was more popular than her as the female lead. Thinking about it now, she still feels very unwilling.

Director Chu just asked: "When you were filming with Xu Ting, did you know what her personality was like in private? Did her assistant always run around and ask for information?"

The actress didn't know why Director Chu asked this, it sounded like he was doing background checks.

A thought flashed through her mind: Is Director Chu going to continue working with Xu Ting? Xu Ting is really lucky!
The actress was extremely annoyed with the new hatred and old grudges. She said: "Her assistant is so annoying. Every time I'm filming, she comes over to watch. Her eyes are annoying. It's as if she is evaluating me. Why should I compete with Xu Ting?
Not only that, I also caught her saying bad things about me in the bathroom, saying that I teamed up with my assistant to say bad things about Xu Ting, and someone heard it, and it was so detailed that it seemed like she was squatting in front of me and heard it!"

The actress said very bluntly: "Director, I didn't like Xu Ting at the time. Although she was a supporting actress, she was more popular than me. She was more arrogant than me in the crew. Where was my dignity as the leading actress?

All the staff members followed her instructions, but I was the one who took most of the shots. I couldn't establish my authority, so how would others see me? So I had several conflicts with her on the set over stealing scenes and lunch boxes.

But I think this kind of conflict is just a small matter, not a big problem. Who in the entertainment industry doesn’t want to have the upper hand?
I did say bad things about Xu Ting to my assistant, but I guarantee that no one else knew about it. We said it behind closed doors, so who could have overheard it?"

Director Chu was about to say something when the actress guessed it and interrupted him.

"My assistant is my cousin. I know the lock screen password of her phone and all the chat messages she sends. She never mentions anything about the entertainment industry to her friends.

My agent also talked about Xu Ting, but it is even more impossible for the agent to disclose it to others, so even though I talked about her, no one else knew about it. Why would Xu Ting's assistant say such things about me outside? "

The actress said angrily: "Moreover, what she said is completely different from what we said behind Xu Ting's back. Even if she wanted to spread rumors, they were not accurate!
At that time, I stood up and scolded her assistant, asking her if she was a paparazzi, and whether she knew exactly who I had talked to and what I had said. I denied the rumors she had spread.

Xu Ting, that white lotus, found out about it and went to apologize to me in person on the set, crying so pitifully. I was worried that it would be difficult for you, so I accepted it out of necessity.

Later I realized how stupid I was. You weren’t there at all. You were away for three days to attend an event! Then I realized that she did this on purpose when you were away…”

The actress' tone was a little excited, and she recalled Chu Chenliang's memories of that time in detail.

Chu Chenliang suddenly realized that it was the same thing, but his thoughts were completely opposite to those of the actress.

What went wrong?
After listening to this, Chu Chenliang didn’t say much. He just said, “We may have a chance to work together in the future.” Then he hung up the phone and ran to find the screenwriter next door.

He made the screenwriter think so much about the evil of human nature and the struggles among people. Now it is time for the screenwriter to use his instincts and analyze what is going on.

After listening to what happened today and the angry recording of the actress, the screenwriter was silent for a long time and uttered seven words: "She is a white lotus!"

Chu Chenliang asked eagerly: "So, is the accusation made by the assistant today true?"

The screenwriter shook his head cautiously: "If there is no evidence, let's not talk nonsense."

Chu Chenliang frowned, and the next second the screenwriter said: "But at least it can be seen that Xu Ting is definitely not innocent."

"The assistant said that Xu Ting has used this method to deal with several actresses. In the entertainment industry, there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all scheme. If Xu Ting didn't know that the assistant was deliberately trying to scam her the first time, what about the second, third, and fourth time?"

"She always feels something is wrong sometimes, right? It's impossible that every actor who doesn't get along with her will spread rumors about her behind her back." The screenwriter said carefully.

Chu Chenliang's thoughts suddenly became clear.

That night, when Jinli was about to go to bed, Chu Chenliang suddenly called her.

The two talked for more than ten minutes and reached some kind of agreement.

When Jinli hung up the phone, there was a smile on her face.

The next day.

Xu Ting kept her word, and when she saw Jinli coming to the crew, she came up to her and apologized sincerely with red eyes.

She is worthy of being a first-line actress. Her tearful and tearful expression makes people want to wipe away her tears.

"I'm sorry, Jinli. It's my fault for not managing my assistant well. I've decided to sue her. I'm sorry for the harm she caused you. Please give me a chance to make amends."

Jinli glanced at her for a few seconds and said calmly, "Do you still plan to let her continue to be your assistant?"

Xu Ting immediately shook her head: "No, I have already fired her!"

Jinli: "This is her fault. Since she is no longer your assistant, what does it have to do with you? Didn't you say you had no idea?"

Xu Ting wiped the tears from her eyes and said in a panic, "I'm sorry, I, I just feel a little sorry for you. I wish I had discovered it earlier."

Jinli shook her head: "It's not your fault. Although the assistant has been by your side to take care of you, running around for you, and taking your words as an imperial decree, there are 24 hours in a day, and they are around you for 12 hours...

But you are not a saint, you also have to work, she wants to spread rumors quietly, it is intentional, you can't find it. "

When the others heard this, a strange look flashed across their faces.

This sounds a bit sarcastic!
We interact with each other every day, but we really don’t know anything?
Jinli said: "This is not your fault. You don't have to take the blame. I don't blame you for this."

Xu Ting felt relieved and said gratefully, "Thank you, Jinli!"

May Day... Crazy overtime... Ah, I don't have any drafts saved T^T
