Plagued by bad reviews, but the top actress!-Chapter 710: Beauty is the Original Sin

——It seems to be Director Liu, the one who directed the movie "Vitality," which led to Xia Weibao winning the Best Actress of the Golden Flower Award. However, it was later proven that Xia Weibao invited Director Liu to dinner merely to help Lin Mier secure the role of third lead. The one who actually slept her way to the role was Lin Mier; Xia Weibao was framed by the collaboration of Lin Mier and Director Liu.

——Right, right, right, now that you mention it, I also remember. After the sleep-with scandal broke, the Golden Flower Award judges revealed that Xia Weibao’s Best Actress trophy was, in fact, bought with money. But I’ve seen "Vitality," and Xia Weibao’s performance was genuinely good; she truly deserved the title of Best Actress!

——Exactly, after the bribery scandal, Qian Guoan came out and said that Xia Weibao was his mistress. However, he later admitted that the real mistress was someone else—Lin Siqian. Lin Siqian was jealous of Xia Weibao, so she made Qian Guoan sling mud at her and stepped on her... hard.

...

Countless people dug up the events of that year, showcasing how Xia Weibao was dragged down from her pedestal as the youngest ever Best Actress!

The downfall of the once-glorious Best Actress is both sigh-inducing and startling!

The uproar it caused was unprecedented!

The nation was abuzz with discussions!

——Thinking deeply about it is terrifying! Even if someone has flaws, it’s impossible for all sorts of disasters to befall them at once, like a flood of beasts.

——Pfft, do you even need to ask? Someone set her up, obviously. Xia Weibao, with her fair skin, good looks, and long legs, coupled with her acting talent, had already secured her position as Top Sister of Empire Entertainment after just two years in the industry, and had become the youngest ever Best Actress. Her achievements were unmatched, and there were plenty who were green with envy.

——That’s right, Xia Weibao’s personal qualifications were just too outstanding, and after signing with Empire Entertainment, all the resources were piled on her. Who knows how many people’s paths she blocked.

——Beauty is the original sin.

——Good heavens! Just how terrifying is the entertainment industry? This is practically a monumental conspiracy!

——But that’s not right. Even if people wanted to take Xia Weibao down, it was only a video that got released. So why did so many celebrities, directors, and even jurors and external tycoons join in blackening her name?

——What’s so hard to understand about that? The entertainment industry is a place where you’re either lifted to the skies or trampled into the ground. Ever heard of kicking someone when they’re down? Seeing Xia Weibao’s misfortune, they were all sharpening their knives. If one person stepping on her doesn’t do the trick, a bit from everyone surely will, won’t it?

——Exactly. The entertainment industry, oh, it’s a chaotic mess. People’s hearts, oh, they’re dark. Lin Mier and Lin Siqian, claiming to be Xia Weibao’s good friends, turn around at the sight of her trouble—one collaborates with the director to frame her, spreading her indecent photos to tarnish her image, while the other goes even further, having her own sugar daddy drag Xia Weibao down with her. Tsk tsk, such plastic sisterhood.

——Why do I feel like there’s someone behind all this, pulling the strings? Otherwise, with the entertainment industry being so vast, how could everyone so unanimously gang up against Xia Weibao? It doesn’t make sense.

——I disagree with the comment above. The events from three years ago involved too many people—artists, directors, jurors, tycoons. If there really were someone who could mobilize so many people at once, how powerful would that person be?

——The person above is correct. It must have been Xia Weibao’s archenemy who somehow got hold of the film footage, then released it online, and when those people saw her fall from grace, they tacitly joined hands to finish her off. Think about it, how famous and how powerful Xia Weibao’s momentum was back in the day! Two years after her debut, she became the Top Sister of Empire Entertainment, an unprecedented feat!

One can only imagine how many resources she had accumulated. Once she fell, everyone had a share of the spoils.

——Your analysis makes a lot of sense. The current Top Sister of Empire Entertainment, Yan Weiyang, isn’t she the biggest beneficiary of the Xia Weibao incident?
