My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 467

The next day, the full video was uploaded onto the net.

Not only was there a visual output, rather, but there was also a clear, audio recording.

It was very apparent from the video that Ye Meng was the antagonist. She scolded others and was even the first to physically attack the other party.

Once again, the female superstar became a hot topic. She was now extremely infamous.

This time, Ye Meng no longer expressed her views online, as she chose to remain quiet.

Buckling under immense pressure, her management agency made a rather vague apology online.

Following this, Channing published a statement that unilaterally terminated Ye Meng’s brand-ambassador contract. They named reputational concerns as a reason, due to the superstar’s inappropriate behavior.

Few other brands followed suit in Channing’s footsteps and announced that Ye Meng would no longer be their brand ambassador.

Showbiz was a cruel industry. Many people suddenly jumped on the bandwagon as they harshly criticized Ye Meng for her acts. Some even dug up the ugly things that she had done in the past.

Nobody knew whether they were true or false.

However, netizens were left unbothered about the veracity of these matters. Now that the tides had turned, they only cared about following the trend.

In just over a day, the superstar’s image was ruined, as she turned into a target of scorn.

On the other hand, Ning Ran was now viewed in a positive light, as she was praised by many.

“Sound of Thunder 2” received the highest viewers’ ratings. Soon, it became the drama to watch for the year. Not only that, rather, its ratings were the highest from the past three years, amongst dramas of the same genre!

Ning Ran shot to stardom.

Within a week, Star Entertainment received an influx of invitations from brands who were hoping for Ning Ran to become their ambassador. Many TV shows wanted her on board too, and dramas wanted her to be their lead actress!

Ning Ran would never be able to agree to all of them because of the sheer amount of time it would take.

Nan Chen gave direct orders to Star Entertainment stating that all of Ning Ran’s contracts would have to be approved by him personally.

Furthermore, she was not allowed to attend any random reality TV shows. From now on, it was best if she appeared less in front of the camera.

The top management of Star Entertainment did not really understand their boss’ instructions.

Normally, when an artist rose in popularity, the team would work around the clock to promote him or her through publicity events, hoping to profit from the celebrity’s newfound stardom.

This was because it was difficult to even become famous in showbiz. Furthermore, it was tougher to remain popular long-term.

If they did not latch onto this window of opportunity, it would be hard to reap the profits once her hype had died down.

However, Nan Chen did not want that to happen. Hence, he even rejected the idea of letting her go on some rather well-known reality TV shows. His actions were rather contradictory to the normal business practice.

Only Wang Xiaoou was in full agreement with Nan Chen’s idea.

She knew that he did not want to groom a celebrity who could only achieve temporary fame. He wanted someone who would be a classic, in many years to come.

While it was easy to earn money from reality TV shows, participation in such programs came at a huge cost for the celebrity.

Celebrities who participated in too many reality TV shows would ultimately be remembered only for their time in these programs. Gradually, a celebrity’s works would be forgotten.

Furthermore, these celebrities would often shift their focus and stop producing as many films as possible or dramas eventually.

Hence, Nan Chen was, in fact, treating Ning Ran like a treasure. He did not want Star Entertainment to abuse her popularity too much for now.

Hence, Ning Ran was made the most available when she was the most famous.

One might ask to what extent? All she did was read books, watch dramas, and scroll through her phone all day. She was not allowed to head out for groceries or shopping because her fans would bombard her.

Fortunately, this period did not last long. She was going to star in a new movie, and the script and production team were ready. They would begin filming next week.

It was an ancient, Chinese movie called “I Am You”.

There was a slight element of sci-fi in the movie. It was about how a female scientist became traumatized after losing her child in an accident.

Then, she discovered her other self in a parallel world.
