"Who would target you behind your back?" Mary looked confused. "We have no standing in the dostic entertainnt industry currently, oppressed by our own agency, just small fry. Is it really necessary to start preventing an explosion so early? This isn’t a major variety show, the flow isn’t even enough to make waves. Isn’t it a waste to stir things up with paid internet users?"
But speaking of being oppressed by their own agency, Mary’s heart ached suddenly but she had a breakthrough: "Could it be Marilyn? Or maybe Jane Jennings?"
"I haven’t been competing with Marilyn for n lately, so she probably wouldn’t deal with personally. However, according to the information I’ve received, soone has indeed bought negative press for my first variety show this ti. It’s quite odd that such a poorly recorded episode can still be aired!"
Anna Thornton suspected that whoever wanted to ss with her this ti was a follower of Marilyn or soone from her camp.
Upon hearing this, Mary suddenly realized: "I just checked, it’s because the scandal about Ethan Hawthorne had no resolution, which upset so female viewers. Recently, those ’justice netizens’ wanting to seek justice for the victims have ford an organization. They plan to use Ethan Hawthorne on this show to make a move, so we happened to run into the knife’s edge. It seems soone also wants to use others to do their dirty work!"
Mary regretted it so much. Why wasn’t she more sensitive after knowing Ethan Hawthorne did such a thing? Felt sothing was wrong?
Then she should have had a firr attitude and stopped Anna from continuing to participate in this show.
Now that the audience is in a frenzy, and water army leaders are taking the lead, Mary can only pray that the Hawthorne family’s PR continues to be strong and suppresses negative news.
No, wait. Why is Mary being led astray now? Automatically categorizing Anna as being in the sa camp as Ethan Hawthorne?
Regarding Ethan Hawthorne’s sex scandal at the hotel, she and Anna had criticized and condemned it together.
From a standpoint of conscience and morality, they both hoped scoundrels like Ethan Hawthorne, who take advantage of won, would pay a price.
But personally, Mary didn’t want the justice-seeking day to be chosen just now, especially with her artist dragged down.
"Anna, where did you get the information that soone wants to sar you?" Mary asked her.
"From my dia friends."
Mary was still exploring the rules of the dostic entertainnt industry, and currently, their connections with the dia were not sufficiently established.
And Anna Thornton’s so-called dia friends were actually the dia that took pictures of Pop when she just returned to the country.
To prevent them from releasing photos, Anna Thornton took the initiative to hold a press conference to announce she had a child first, then exchanged exclusive interviews with them. Including later gossip photos with Conrad Sterling, she also notified this dia to take them.
Over ti, this dia saw the future news heat of Anna Thornton, becoming mutually beneficial friends. They would show leniency in industry news announcents, and when there was unfavorable news for Anna Thornton, they would give her a heads-up to get her response at the earliest, thereby fostering a mutually beneficial relationship.
Indeed, this situation was caused by Ethan Hawthorne’s actions infuriating the masses.
But given the Hawthorne family’s power, they could still suppress it.
Industry personnel sensitive to public opinion could see that the biggest victim, in the end, would be Anna Thornton, who had no money, no influence, and no backing. Maybe Ethan Hawthorne would seize the opportunity and put her out front to take the hit.
That’s why the person behind the scenes causing trouble is truly malicious!
"Damn it, who on earth wants to kill us?" Mary couldn’t help swearing, "Co on, face us directly if you have the guts. Stabbing us with such sneaky tactics from behind is really shaless. Bullying us, huh? Do they think we can’t afford to hire paid internet users?"
Honestly, there’s no idle money for that.
The earning potential in the foreign entertainnt industry is different from the dostic one; those who can make big money are usually at the top of the pyramid, international stars.
Like Anna Thornton, who has played minor roles for two out of three years and only produced a film where she wasn’t even a third lead in the last year, she truly hasn’t saved any money.
But it’s okay, Mary was ready to consider herself as one hundred people, prepared to fight against water armies and haters all night long.
She placed the computer, phone, and tablet all in a row, ready for battle.
"Anna, that’s not what I wanted to ask." Mary suddenly realized, pausing her fast typing, and looked up at Anna Thornton, "I ant to ask, why did you say this episode wasn’t recorded well?"
"I didn’t tell you? After Ethan Hawthorne ate the rice dumplings I made, he vomited on stage!"
"What? You only told there was so situation on-site... didn’t say you directly made the male guest vomit!" Mary was shocked.
"Oh, I seem to have forgotten to ntion it." Anna Thornton thought of the scene at the ti and couldn’t help but want to laugh. "If that footage could be aired, it would probably beco a lifeti black history for Ethan Hawthorne and that host."
Seeing her able to laugh it off, Mary was petrified holding her ’battle gear’: "So, you randomly put in seasonings, didn’t you? Anna, I told you before to just put on a show for the program, how could you... oh my God, a food program making dishes that made the male guest and host vomit together, people might think you wanted murder!"
Although Mary hadn’t seen the scene personally, just imagining it was enough to black out.
She made another mistake; knowing Anna’s cooking level, she still convinced herself to believe in her going to such a show.
Mary probably had a lapse in judgnt to believe miracles exist in this world.
"This is finished, finished!"
Mary’s last spirit to fight for Anna Thornton was completely shattered.
Her strength alone couldn’t fight off so many water armies, the worst part being others holding back while Anna exposed her shortcomings...
After all, not to ntion anything else, just Anna’s bad cooking skills, that point is truly solid, can’t be cleared!
Mary dared not continue watching, covering her eyes as she stood up to turn off the TV.
"Aren’t you going to finish watching?" Anna Thornton asked her.
"Hey, what’s the use of a useless agent like watching the show?" Mary despairingly said, "I’d better watch Pop, only with a child can you see the future now. Really, I should have taken the path of cultivating child stars back then."
Anna Thornton listened to Mary’s words not only in self-abandonnt, but she felt even she was being abandoned: "I just cooked a little tasteless food, is it really that serious? Anyway, the production team will look at Ethan Hawthorne’s face, probably won’t air the tasting result."
"Let know if they didn’t air it, if they do... could you help buy a rope to hang myself?"
Mary finished talking, looking absolutely hopeless as she picked up her shattered ’dream acting career’ and left.
Leaving just Anna Thornton to watch the show alone, she found it boring, so she picked up her phone wanting to text Conrad Sterling.
After all, she finally added him on WeChat, but being too busy recently, Anna Thornton hadn’t had the chance to disturb that man.
Yesterday, he specially emphasized that she still has hope, so Anna Thornton thought she should do sothing, otherwise she might let him down?
