Xu Jiayang looked displeased.
Li Cheng had also been filming a drama called “Imperial Harem,” and he and Xu Jiayang had both extended an invitation to Lin Mier at the same time.
At that time, Lin Mier took on the role of the female lead in “Allure,” causing quite a stir.
After all, “Imperial Harem” was a TV drama, and “Allure” was just an online series, not quite on the same level.
Because of this, Li Cheng held a grudge against Xu Jiayang.
Latter on, when “Allure” changed its female lead, Lin Mier’s tragic persona was well-played, and she became an instant sensation.
Seeing her value, as good as a free promotion, Li Cheng once again offered Lin Mier an olive branch.
The news of Lin Mier taking on the female lead in “Imperial Harem” was also hotly promoted.
Li Cheng was praised for his talent appreciation, his magnanimity in letting bygones be bygones, and his keen eye for spotting talent, and the news even topped the hot searches.
Unfortunately, just as it hit the hot searches, Xia Weibao’s news of throwing a diva tantrum broke out, so it was kicked down.
One could say that during this period, all the hot searches were monopolized by Xia Weibao, and no one else could even dream of getting a look in!
Even news of the super-popular movie queen Yan Weiyang taking on a Hollywood blockbuster wanted to compete for the hot searches but was brutally KO’d by Xia Weibao, leaving no room for a second-liner like Lin Mier.
Li Cheng was even more resentful of his hot search being taken over.
Xu Jiayang and Li Cheng had a falling out, Xia Weibao and Lin Mier had a past beef, and both their crews were competing as they geared up to shoot at the same time.
Under these circumstances, you can imagine how the scene would unfold when they met.
Li Cheng disdainfully glanced sideways at Xu Jiayang, arrogant and completely unfazed by his presence.
He was even somewhat gleeful at his misfortune.
Xu Jiayang’s situation was mysteriously similar to that of Xia Weibao.
Once a giant in the directing world, an untouchable entity.
Now, however, he was like a rat crossing the street, scorned by all directors.
Li Cheng took out a VIP card, slapped it arrogantly in front of the receptionist, “The last private room, I’m taking it!”
Arrogant!
Exceptionally arrogant!
The tense atmosphere immediately drew the attention of many onlookers who enjoyed a spectacle.
Especially after recognizing Lin Mier, they became even more excited.
“Look, it’s Lin Mier!”
“Oh my god, my goddess!”
“The goddess is so beautiful, Mier, please give me an autograph…”
The crowd was full of actors, yet all eyes were on Lin Mier, which filled her with pride.
Her lips slowly curled into a smile, and just then, a discordant voice rang out.
“The beauty in the white sports outfit is so pretty…”
“My god, so beautiful, do you guys feel like she looks familiar?”
“She kind of resembles Mier, but she’s so much more beautiful than Mier.”
“Could it be Xia Weibao?”
“How could it be! This beauty is obviously all-natural, how could you compare her with Xia Weibao’s plastic surgery face.”
“Exactly, didn’t you notice she’s bare-faced? Celebrities wear makeup all the time, their skin is so bad, there’s no way they’d dare to be seen without makeup.”
“True, let’s not compare that trash Xia Weibao to the heavenly beauty…”
Appearances are born from the heart, and the current Xia Weibao had switched spirits, making her whole appearance glow with radiance, looking completely different from before.
Furthermore, she used to appear only while wearing makeup, but now that she was unadorned, she seemed fresher and more elegant.
This version of her was different from the movie queen under the spotlight.
Add to that her three-year retreat from the industry, and now her comeback, all the media were hell-bent on painting her in the worst light, keen on blackening her image until she would never be able to turn her fortunes.
All the photos of her online were distortioned to make her look ugly.
Therefore, despite the many onlookers, not a single one could recognize her.
Meanwhile, Lin Mier’s face darkened with fury.
