Chapter 54: The Change of Role
Director Sun knew that what the producer said made sense, "I understand, I will contact Tianyi."
So not long after, Tang Ming received a call from Director Sun. Hearing that Director Sun intended to terminate the contract, Tang Ming's black eyes under his gold-rimmed glasses revealed a sharpness.
"Director Sun, no matter what is spread online, you should know best how Ruan Tang got the role."
"Of course I know, but this incident has a huge impact on the crew. Now everyone on the official Weibo is asking for a replacement actor."
"Director Sun, rest assured. We will handle the public opinion issues and it will definitely not affect your reputation."
Director Sun felt relieved when he saw that Tang Ming was confident.
If possible, he doesn't want to replace his favorite actors.
After hanging up the call with Director Sun, Tang Ming's eyes turned completely cold.
So that's how it is. The person behind the scenes wanted the role of the second male lead in "Mountains and Rivers".
They went through so much trouble and put together two big shows. It must have been really hard for them.
In that case, he would never let them have their way.
I remember that I was able to bring Su Cheng from a small newcomer to the nationally renowned movie star he is today.
The bloody storm that Tang Ming experienced is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"Go, check who is behind this!"
Tang Ming ordered his men sternly.
"Yes, Director Tang."
At this moment, they saw a hint of iron-bloodedness in Director Tang, who always smiled and seemed smooth.
Such a big uproar has been stirred up on the Internet again, and Ruan Tang, as the person involved in the incident, naturally also knew about it.
It wasn’t Tang Ming who told him.
Instead, it was Zhang Ting and several other people he had met on the set of "Chasing the Murderer" who sent him messages to show their concern.
Zhang Ting even called him directly.
"I've read the rumors about Ruan Tang online. Don't take them to heart. I'll post on Weibo to help you clarify it later."
After hearing what Zhang Ting said, Ruan Tang tightened his grip on the phone.
Feeling a little touched, he jokingly said, "How do you know it's fake? I'm really being kept by someone!"
He and Mo Jinchen were indeed in a relationship of sponsorship and they had even signed a contract.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ting on the other end of the phone said, "We've been filming together for so long, don't I know what your acting skills are like?"
I do recognize his business ability.
Although...I feel like I have let the other person down a bit.
"Thank you, Zhang Ting, but I will handle the online matters myself. Don't get involved, or those netizens will target you again."
Zhang Ting is a very good girl, and he doesn't want his affairs to affect her.
Afterwards, Ruan Tang responded to everyone's messages of concern one by one.
While I feel warm inside, I also feel embarrassed to be a hands-off boss anymore.
So he contacted Tang Ming to see if he needed his cooperation in doing anything.
"Hey, didn't Young Master Ruan give himself a holiday? Why did you think of looking for me?"
As soon as he heard the sarcastic tone, Ruan Tang knew that Tang Ming was angry about not answering the phone last time.
"Hehe, Brother Tang, I was wrong last time. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me."
On the other end of the phone, Tang Ming snorted arrogantly.
Hearing that his attitude had softened, Ruan Tang said a lot of nice things before he coaxed the other party.
The two then started talking about business.
"Brother Tang, how are you going to deal with the things on the Internet?"
"I've asked the studio to prepare a notice, and I'll post it on your Weibo account later. Director Sun is also very dissatisfied with this matter, mainly because he's worried that it will affect the filming."
"Is Director Sun afraid that the audience won't buy it?"
"Hmm!" Tang Ming's voice was heavy, "Investors are also afraid of risks."
Ruan Tang hesitated for a moment and said, "The netizens' doubts are mainly about my acting skills. They think that I, a newcomer, cannot get such an important role. So, if I want to dispel their doubts, I have to prove my acting skills!"
"Do you have any idea?"
"Hasn't 'Chasing the Murderer' been filmed yet? The next step is editing, production and promotion. I want to contact Director Li to see if he can release some clips of my performance, which can be used as publicity and to prove my acting skills."
This is a good idea, Tang Ming's eyes lit up.
"I just don't know if Director Li is willing..."
After all, the result now is that we are in a mess.
"Director Li will be willing."
Hearing his confident tone, Tang Ming knew that he had a way to convince Director Li.
"Okay! Then I'll help you contact Director Li."
If Director Li is really willing to help Ruan Tang, it would make it easier for them to guide public opinion.
Anyone who has seen Ruan Tang's acting skills will understand that with his ability, he can definitely play the role of the second male lead in "Mountains and Rivers".
However, what Tang Ming didn't expect was that before he could contact Director Li.
The official Weibo account of "Chasing the Murderer" released a promotional video.
At first, this video did not attract much attention.
Until someone discovered that the actor mentioned in the official Weibo account was actually the protagonist of the latest gossip.
What's the situation?
Is the new drama launching to gain popularity?
With such questions, netizens clicked on the video one after another.
then……
The official Weibo of "Chasing the Murderer" reported it.
"Ahhh! So handsome, what kind of aloof academic tyrant yandere, it's simply insane!"
"Oh my god, this kind of crazy character is very cruel, but it is also really exciting. Whoever plays this guy is really good!"
"Great acting +1. After reading so many crazy yandere posts, I feel like I have the right to speak. The little brother in the video is so charming to me, like he walked out of a novel."
"Isn't this the Ruan Tang who is being hyped as a resourceful person?"
"Although, the little brother is really handsome, and his acting is just right. He switches from a gentle senior to a crazy murderer with just one look. I wonder who among the newcomers of the same period can have such acting skills."
"Not only in the same period, but also beat most of the entertainment industry, okay?"
"It's an exaggeration to say that most of it is true. Can't you compare with the best actor and actress?"
"But the video shows a confrontation with Actor Su. I don't think he's losing at all."
"So, is it possible that the young man got the second male lead role in "Mountain River Elegy" purely based on his acting skills?"
"I also want to say that this newcomer's appearance actually fits Qin Feng's role quite well."
After all, although Qin Feng is a fool in the setting, he is described in the book as having a handsome appearance, picturesque features, and is so beautiful that he does not seem like an ordinary person.
And Ruan Tang's appearance completely matches readers' fantasy of Qin Feng.
Sure enough, as expected, the online public opinion is no longer one-sided.
However, many people approve of the casting of the crew.
Not only that, many actors from the "Chasing the Murderer" crew also reposted the promotional video and tagged Ruan Tang.
I won’t mention Zhang Ting’s support for Ruan Tang.
Even Yuan Ying wrote on Weibo that Ruan Tang was the most talented newcomer she had ever seen.
You know, Yuan Ying’s current status is all due to her acting skills and works.
He is a real acting talent in the eyes of the audience.
Even she recognizes Ruan Tang, which means that Ruan Tang is indeed an excellent actor and has extraordinary talent.
