"If you want to die, then die. Why are you dragging me down with you?" Tang Xuan's eyes turned red as she hung up the phone. After lowering her head and calming herself down, she endured the embarra.s.sment and walked out of the office.
As long as Tangning wasn't sitting on the top spot, Tang Xuan did not consider herself truly defeated. There was always a way.
For example, Tang Corps' annual product launch was just around the corner. That would be her chance.
She refused to believe that she would never sit on the top spot of Tang Corps.
In the past few days, Hai Rui had been prioritizing the promotion of 'W.H.'. Although they had already released a 10 second trailer in the past, this time, they released 3 more versions, each one lasting 30 seconds.
This time, no matter if it was the cast or the theme of the film, everything met the expectations of the curious audience. Because of what she had achieved from 'Stupid' with her stunning performance, the audience had increased expectations for actors and felt they could trust her.
"I've already watched the trailer for 'Stupid' over 20 times. I hope the actual film will be released soon."
"Seeing Tangning and Bei Chendong acting together, makes me feel like I am watching a European or American blockbuster. This is because neither of them are idol actors. They become whatever character they are acting; it's so gratifying. I'm definitely going to watch this in the theatre three times!"
"I hope that 'W.H.' will be able to set a new benchmark for disaster films in China. I also hope that Tangning can return to filming as soon as possible."
The scene of Tangning's retreat was still etched into everyone's memories. So, the release of 'W.H.' ignited the pa.s.sion of film fans.
"Have the people that slandered Tangning given their apologies yet?"
"They must have been crazy to force such a great actress to retreat. Just because they aren't capable, they teamed up against her. How disgusting!"
"Ever since Tangning announced her retreat, I've turned into an anti-fan of every name that was on the list that was released. I would never be a fan of a bunch of disgusting people."
In the end, 'W.H.' was confirmed for December 6th. A situation like this where a film was a hit even before its release was not unheard of. For example, many Hollywood films were often sold out on opening night, but 'W.H.' was actually comparable.
Under these circ.u.mstances, the distribution of the film did not need to take calculated steps like 'Stupid'. After all, even without Tangning, Bei Chendong was enough to guarantee ticket sales.
It was because of this situation that Tang Xuan developed a misconception: she believed that Tangning still had her entire focus on the entertainment industry and had no interest in Tang Corps.
But, the more famous Tangning got, the more envious Tang Xuan became.
They were both from the Tang Family, but why did Tangning receive so much love and adoration?
This only made Tang Xuan even more ruthless. At this time, Tang Xuan received another invite from the 30-something-year-old shareholder who had previously offered her help. She thought the man was still mocking and teasing her. But, when the man asked if she wanted to win, her heart followed these words into the abyss, led by her desires...
So, she accepted the invite.
3pm. Hai Rui's CEO's office. Mo Ting was working on some business matters while Lu Che stood beside him reporting about the Zhong Family, "News about the Zhong Family being investigated has been released. They shouldn't be able to last until the end of this month."
"I want to see them go bankrupt," Mo Ting sneered.
