Chapter 283: Chapter 283 - 279: Mr. Jing Truly Never Misjudges

Shi Yunyin’s expression turned ugly as she suddenly quickened her pace to head toward Shi Su.

Who would have thought that the sponsor of today’s event would also be backstage at this moment, stepping forward to quickly grab her hand and sarcastically say, "Miss Best Actress, enough is enough."

The hidden humiliation and irony within those words caused Shi Yunyin to purse her lips instantly, her face turning pale.

In the Imperial City, the meeting had already concluded.

Jing Jihan was already seated in the car when he received a WeChat message from Jing Luozhou.

He was watching a replay of the live broadcast.

At the same time, he saw the message Jing Luozhou sent: [Whoa, what a divine reversal, amazing! My sister-in-law is a gem! I watched that movie back then too, the dance was really good! Didn’t expect it was her!]

Jing Jihan ignored him and continued watching the replay.

The entire live broadcast was watched without fast-forwarding, and by the time it was over, it was already dark, and the car had returned to the hotel. However, Zhou He and Lu Zhao did not urge him to get out, they just quietly waited.

Even though Lu Zhao and Zhou He didn’t follow entertainment news, Shi Su was trending so explosively today that notifications were popping up on various news apps. They pretty much knew what was going on.

It’s just that appearances can be deceiving.

Shi Su, who appeared so bright and beautiful and composed, had once suffered being bullied to the point of having to dance for others like a little flower.

Yet, Shi Su, who now seemed low-key and quiet, could kill in such a refreshing way today.

Absolutely incredible.

Absolutely incredible!

Mr. Jing indeed never misjudges, when the iron tree of ten thousand years blooms, it is the best blossom!

This counterattack from Shi Su, absent for five years, not only caught Shi Yunyin off guard but also surprised the Shi Family that Shi Su could have such a day.

From every step it was clear, she was never the silent, quiet, pitiful thing they had thought.

She was clearer than anyone, more resilient than anyone.

But Shi Yunyin could not just let Shi Su trample her down like this. What if she had a tainted name from now on, she was still the Best Actress after all, and black fame is still fame, in a way it’s traffic. Having been in this circle for so long, what kind of tainted name couldn’t be whitewashed to regain status?

She currently had no agent or PR team by her side, and even Xv Yaru called to remind her not to make any statements and to rest for a few days.

But Shi Yunyin couldn’t bear it.

She forced herself to calm down and suddenly posted a Weibo that, on the surface, looked like an apology but was actually distancing herself in a very "white lotus" way.

She admitted on Weibo that it was indeed wrong to have hired someone to dance for her, she apologized, but five years ago her leg injury was too severe, and the Chi Xiao crew was unforgiving and kept urging her to return to filming. At the time, she had just signed with Four Seas Entertainment, and both the crew and the company put pressure on her. She was forced down this path and said that she put a lot of heart into that film, but the dance scene wasn’t actually performed by her. However, nowadays even drama scenes have body doubles, not to mention fight or dance scenes, it’s very common. She asked people not to scrutinize this matter and even posted the contracts signed between her and the Chi Xiao crew as well as Four Seas Entertainment, shifting all the blame to Chi Xiao’s crew and Four Seas Entertainment.

Since this was a hot topic, and Shi Yunyin suddenly released such a long response that evening, everyone’s attacks turned towards the official Weibo of Four Seas Entertainment and the Weibo of Chi Xiao’s director, including Chi Xiao’s official Weibo from back then.

Shi Yunyin had already planned that it didn’t matter if her Best Actress title was taken away. She wasn’t relying on the entertainment industry for a living, she didn’t lack money. Since she was mixing in this circle, all she wanted was fame, whether it was a good or bad reputation, as long as it brought traffic, it was a good thing. As long as she could spin this incident appropriately, it might not be a bad thing at all. In any case, she couldn’t let Shi Su have her way.

Although the director of Chi Xiao was an old director, he was already upset about the award fraud by using a body double, and suddenly getting scolded by Shi Yunyin’s fans with thousands of comments, the old director couldn’t stand for it any longer!

The official Weibo of Chi Xiao straightforwardly mocked Shi Yunyin as an award-fraud actress trying to use a film from five years ago to gain traction. Neither the crew members working behind the scenes nor the actors in front of the screen would allow it! Although the movie was five years old and its fans had mostly moved on, it was still a cherished memory in many hearts. Viewers and fans banded together to ridicule Shi Yunyin.

That night, stories emerged about how picky Shi Yunyin had been in the crew, asking for leave due to headaches and colds every three days, and how insincere she was in filming, needing numerous takes to get through a scene. The director was so upset that he couldn’t sleep well, and the entire crew put effort into teaching her how to act, how to get into character, how to empathize. Because she frequently took sick leave, the production was delayed due to her personal reasons. When she requested sick leave again later, the crew did not allow it. It was a classic ’boy who cried wolf’ situation. When you’ve requested sick leave too many times, who cares if you’re injured or just have a cold, hearing ’sick leave’ just makes it seem like nothing, asking her to get back to filming was an issue stemming from Shi Yunyin’s own unprofessionalism and laziness.

Shi Yunyin also would not back down from being scolded, both sides continued battling throughout the night and into the next morning.

Shi Su also picked up her phone, uncharacteristically posting a Weibo herself:

[Don’t lump all crews that have used doubles together. Nowadays, the audience’s expectations are higher, increasing filming difficulties. Stand-ins are prevalent, but every actor’s schedule lists clearly which scenes used doubles, and the contract terms are detailed. Stand-in actors, although unnoticed, are legitimate members of the crew rather than being deliberately concealed figures. Your mistake isn’t about using a double, but lying that the dance that got you critical acclaim and a Best Actress sweep was wholly performed by you. I’ve always believed the conflicts and misunderstandings between us could be resolved within the family, but you’ve relied on your status as my sister to repeatedly overreach, refusing to have a falling out. @Shi Yunyin]

All along, no matter what kind of scandal or rumor Shi Su faced, she hardly ever responded directly. Even the issue with Tong Yuanyuan’s fans was revealed by a conversation recorded by them.

Nobody expected Shi Su to directly clap back like this.

[Indeed, those who aren’t guilty have the strongest stance!]

[Wow, Shi Su is stepping forward to confront directly again!]

[? What’s the situation? Sisters? Older sister, younger sister? That line seemed to be in the live stream yesterday, are Shi Su and Shi Yunyin from the same family?]

[Both have the surname Shi, I thought it was just a coincidence before...]

[Oh my, Shi Yunyin’s family seems quite powerful, what earth-shattering gossip is this leading to?!]
