My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 837 Problem

Ning Ran was only made aware that the second phase of the filming was postponed because of the sudden rain

yesterday when she arrived at the set.

Hence, Ning Ran could still resume the filming initially scheduled yesterday when she rejoined the crew that day.

As for the real reason behind the postponement, whether it was truly because of the bad weather or the director's

insistence on waiting for Ning Ran's return, she wouldn't know.

Nonetheless, Ning Ran was delighted to be able to continue participating in the filming and seeing the job through.

Everyone was aware of Ning Ran becoming one of the trending topics on the internet.

Therefore, they behaved slightly awkwardly when greeting her. No one questioned her sudden departure the day

before either.

However, there was an anomaly, and that person was Ye Meng.

Ye Meng thought Ning Ran would be absent for the rest of the show's filming after negative news about the latter

became widespread. Unexpectedly, Ning Ran returned to work so quickly.

Ye Meng was reminded of her situation when she was involved in a scandal in the past. Her career went into a

slump for an extended period at that time. Not to mention, Ye Meng's talent company even prohibited her from

making public appearances.

In comparison, Nanshi Corporation's public relations department managed to resolve Ning Ran's predicament in

just one afternoon and one night after unpleasant news about her circulated in public yesterday. As a result, Ning

Ran could come back to work the next day.

The importance of an artist having powerful support in the entertainment industry became distinctively apparent at

that instant. With that thought in her mind, Ye Meng's jealousy toward Ning Ran further intensified.

Envious people would always unwittingly reveal their genuine emotions, and Ye Meng wasn't an exception.

Consequently, there was an unmistakable hint of bitterness when she spoke to Ning Ran. “How come you're able to

return to work so swiftly?”

Pin-drop silence filled the air.

Everyone had deliberately avoided talking about that, yet Ye Meng intentionally mentioned the incident, causing the

others to feel uncomfortable.

Every artist in the entertainment industry couldn't avoid being troubled by some negative news and having to

endure low points in their careers at times.

Hence, the best way of dealing with others when they were in a career slump would be not to talk about it so as to

avoid rubbing salt in others' wounds.

As a seasoned artist in the industry, Ye Meng's insensitive behavior was undoubtedly disappointing.

That showed how jealousy could corrupt one's reasoning ability and lower someone's EQ and IQ.

Although Ning Ran didn't anticipate Ye Meng to put her in a tight spot immediately, she didn't panic. Instead, she

flashed a faint smile and answered straightforwardly, “This speedy return is beyond my expectations too. Nan

Chen's team did a wonderful job of efficiently clarifying all those derogatory remarks directed toward me in such a

short period.”

Ning Ran aimed to flaunt, but not excessively. Indeed, I can resume working so quickly because I have someone

supporting me. What's the matter? Do you have a problem with that?

Shi Jie immediately chimed in, “It's so great that you're back, Ms. Ding. The filming for this show will lose its purpose

if you're absent.”

Huang Zichao piped up at once as well, “That's right. We came here together, so we must also finish the filming as

a group. It won't be desirable for anyone to depart the show halfway through. Besides, I have faith in Ding Mi's

character. She'll never take part in those illegal doings. Someone must've attempted to vilify her on purpose.”

Ye Meng felt more embarrassed as a best actor award winner, Huang Zichao, and famous star, Shi Jie, expressed

their support for Ning Ran.

She deeply regretted bringing up that matter, putting herself in a stance opposing Ning Ran's and simultaneously

invoking Huang Zichao and Shi Jie's displeasure.

Politics existed wherever there were people. Similarly, the political state of affairs couldn't be avoided even during

the short gathering of a few artists during a show's recording.

And in that micro-scale political circle, Ning Ran was obviously far more well-liked than Ye Meng.

Ye Meng's inconsiderate gesture stemmed from her unwillingness to admit Ning Ran was more popular than her.

At that instant, she felt utterly remorseful as her action caused her to be caught up in a more unfavorable situation.

Ye Meng grinned nervously. “Actually, I think so too. There are all kinds of fake news on the internet nowadays. I'm

also being criticized all the time for no reason. Naturally, I believe in Ding Mi too. I'll fully support you by asking my

talent agent to publish a statement on Weibo in the afternoon to stand up for you!”

Ye Meng proffered a constructive suggestion. Shi Jie was the first to concur again. “There's no need to wait until the

afternoon. I'll post on my Weibo account to vouch for Ms. Ding's innocence now.”

Huang Zichao also got on board with the plan. “In that case, let's all publish a statement on our Weibo accounts to

side with Ding Mi and let others know we place our trust in her.”

Ning Ran smiled. “Thank you for having confidence in me, but I don't think it's necessary to make the

announcements on Weibo.”

Ning Ran was certainly thrilled to receive their support, but she also knew an artist's social media account was

usually managed by their talent company.

In other words, an artist did not have the freedom to publish any statement they liked. They would have to acquire

their company's approval before taking a public stance.

Although Shi Jie and the others personally rooted for Ning Ran, the same could not be said for their talent

companies.

Hence, she didn't want to make things difficult for them or trouble them to negotiate terms with their companies for

her sake.

However, Ye Meng was very firm on that matter as she wanted to make up for the bad impression she left on

everyone earlier. “We are taking part in the recording of the same show, so we're all in the same boat. Therefore,

we must share a common stand. I believe my team will have my back. I'll contact them right away.”

“I also think we should voice out together to stand up for Ms. Ding.” Shi Jie, a loyal and courageous youngster, was

all the more passionate.

At that moment, the director walked over. When he heard about their discussion, he also said he would convey the

production team's support of Ning Ran by making a declaration on the show's official Weibo.

After separate communications among various parties were held, the production team and all the celebrities

involved in the show updated their Weibo status in unison in the afternoon to proclaim their support for Ning Ran.

At the same time, more positive news about Ning Ran began to appear on the internet. As a result, she became

one of the trending topics again.

What was supposed to be a crisis evolved into an excellent opportunity to garner beneficial publicity following the

resolution of that mess.

The netizens started showing interest in the movies Ning Ran participated in previously, the shows she was filming,

and the products recently endorsed by her.

During the local opera performance at night, Ning Ran did a splendid job and was rewarded with the highest points.

Due to her marvelous performance, the production team of I Am You recovered lost ground by winning the

contest's second round.

On the other hand, Shi Jie and the others, who were on the losing side, would have to be punished.

This time, the production team's punishment for them was for all the celebrities on the losing team to provide

pictures of them in their pajamas and let the production team post the photos on the show's official social media

accounts.

Ultimately, the production team's goal was to publicize and hype up the show, creating as many discussion-worthy

topics related to the program as possible to attract the public's attention and increase the viewership ratings.

Shi Jie's picture featured him wearing pajamas with cute cartoon pictures printed on the clothes. The netizens

showered him with compliments for his adorable and sweet appearance.

Meanwhile, Ye Meng made a bold move by sharing a picture of her in a slinky, see-through nightgown, inadvertently

displaying her sexy figure. Unfortunately, the photo was a little too erotic.

After her picture was published, netizens immediately condemned her for deliberately exposing her body to seek

attention.

Subsequently, the lambasting propelled Ye Meng to become the fifth most trending topic. Not to mention, her

seductive nightgown photo was being spread wildly on the internet.

Getting scolded was also a form of winning recognition. Ye Meng was very satisfied with securing a spot on the

trending topics as that was her desired outcome.

As the celebrities participating in the show consecutively made headlines, the program attained unprecedented

attention and even caused a sensation.

Even Tang Jing, who had always lacked presence, acquired close to one hundred thousand new followers overnight.

Just when Ning Ran let out a sigh of relief, thinking things had finally settled down, another new gossip emerged on

the internet.

This time, the scandal was about Nan Chen getting photographed while entering a hotel with a gorgeous woman.
