124 The Grudge
With a big shot like Wang Mian, the innocent Yu Han had no presence at all. Yu Han saw that the trending searches were all looking forward to Wang Mian’s new movie character. She was a little curious, “How do you think He Yu is feeling now?” Did she hate Wang Mian for replacing her, or was she grateful for Wang Mian’s voice to divert the public’s attention from her ruined image?
He Meng didn’t even think about it. “She probably hates her even more. After all, in her eyes, anyone who snatches her things deserves to die, especially when this person is Wang Mian.”
Hearing her words, Yu Han’s gossipy soul immediately rose up. “From what you’re saying, the two of them still have a grudge?”
“It’s a huge grudge.” He Meng told her about the history of the falling out of the fake bosom friends in the entertainment industry.
It turned out that Wang Mian’s first management contract was also signed with the Cultural and Creative Entertainment Company. Although the Cultural and Creative Entertainment Company was not the top entertainment company in the country, it was indeed quite capable in the area of drama production. Hence, it successfully promoted Wang Mian and He Yu, these two leading female celebrities.
At that time, Wang Mian had already stabilized her position as an A-list actress in the entertainment industry with two popular dramas. At that time, He Yu, who was four years younger than her, had just signed into the company. Because she had a beautiful appearance, she was valued by the higher-ups of the company. They planned to focus on nurturing her, so they asked Wang Mian to take care of her.
Wang Mian was grateful to the company for nurturing her. In addition, He Yu looked very obedient at that time, so she agreed without much thought. Thus, the two of them often went on variety shows together after that. They filmed together and often mentioned each other during interviews. They were even filmed going out and playing together in private. They were like a pair of good friends.
During those two years, it still did not affect the relationship between the two of them even when the fans of both sides fought very fiercely. However, after Wang Mian’s contract with Cultural and Creative ended, she fell out with Cultural and Creative and left. The two of them did not interact anymore. They would avoid the questions even when the reporters mentioned each other.
At that time, many of He Yu’s fans scolded Wang Mian for being hypocritical and disregarding their sisterhood. It was only when Wang Mian succeeded on the big screen and gained a large number of fans that He Yu’s fans stopped. They did not dare to forcefully slander her.
This was what the outside world knew about their relationship, but as an insider, He Meng knew that things were far more complicated.
Wang Mian was indeed very good to He Yu at that time. Hence, not only did she bring her along on camera, but she also introduced her to her friends behind the scenes. At that time, Wang Mian had a rich second-generation heir boyfriend that she had a stable relationship with. Just as they were about to talk about marriage, He Yu actually interfered and snatched away the rich second-generation heir boyfriend.
After Wang Mian caught the two of them in bed, she was so angry that she brought the matter to the higher-ups of the company.
Because He Yu was on the rise at that time and was about to become the next starlet, the higher-ups of the company did not want to suppress and punish He Yu for the sake of benefits. They also thought that Wang Mian’s contract was about to expire, so they wanted to use the contract as an excuse to make Wang Mian swallow her anger. The overall situation was more important.
After being betrayed by her good sister and the company she trusted, Wang Mian broke down and caused a huge commotion in the company. Then, she directly rejected the renewal of the contract. The higher-ups of the company were furious and wanted to use Wang Mian’s dirt to threaten her to submit. They didn’t expect Wang Mian, who was usually very easy to talk to, to directly say that she had taken photos of He Yu cheating with her rich boyfriend. If the company dared to destroy her, she would also destroy He Yu.
The company did not dare to force Wang Mian with her tough attitude. In the end, they could only let her go unwillingly and secretly cause trouble so that Wang Mian could no longer take on television dramas.
Hence, after Wang Mian left the company, she did not have any shows to film and stayed at home for almost half a year. Later on, it was a small director whom she had helped in the past, invited her to act in his movie, ending her unemployed life. That movie was “Graffiti” that made her famous and gained a lot.
After the movie got popular, the people from the company regretted it very much. They were envious of Wang Mian’s development on the big screen. This was what the company lacked. Hence, when they knew that Wang Mian had not signed a management company, they shamelessly came to beg Wang Mian to sign a contract with the company again.
It was said that at that time, Wang Mian only said one sentence. If they wanted her to sign with the company again, they would have to ban He Yu. The people from the management company had a headache once she made her request.
Wang Mian won two Best Actress awards and her future on the big screen was expected to be very good. She would be an honor for Cultural and Creative Entertainment and a living signboard for Cultural and Creative Entertainment to enter the big screen. At that time, He Yu’s summer drama happened to explode and her net worth soared. It was just the time to start harvesting her fans wantonly.
In the end, the people from the Cultural and Creative Entertainment thought hard and finally decided to pay attention to the immediate benefits. Hence, they protected He Yu again and gave up on Wang Mian.
