The video was released in the early morning, and the woman in the video was not pixelated at all. The angle of the surreptitious filming made it impossible to see the man. However, the entire process of the woman being humiliated was exposed. Although the video was only a short five minutes, it was evident that the woman was Wang Bing.
This kind of video almost didn’t need promotion. It immediately became the most attention-grabbing post even in the early morning. In just over ten minutes, the video was downloaded hundreds of thousands of times, and the reposts and comments overwhelmed the online forum.
Coincidentally, this incident happened after the movie release, and many speculated that it was the rival of Xu Chang or Wang Bing who leaked the video. Some even suggested that Xu Chang staged it himself to increase the movie’s popularity.
It’s strange that the movie “I Don’t Want To” starring Wang Bing was precisely about a girl entering the workplace, being raped by a leader, and not daring to report it.
The premiere of the movie had just ended, and on the same day, an explicit video of Wang Bing was released. The video didn’t clearly show whether Wang Bing was being assaulted, and rumors spread rapidly.
“Seeing Wang Bing looks so pure, who would have thought she’s so promiscuous in bed?”
“There’s no cleanliness in the entertainment industry! How else could she become the lead actress in Xu Chang’s movie?”
“Even Wen Nian is the same. I heard she recommended Wang Bing. Maybe they are all prostitutes!”
“Why was the video deleted? Seeking high-quality uncensored video! Who has it?”
“The poster is a great person! I also want the video! Kind-hearted people, please share with me!”
“Boycott ‘I Don’t Want To.’ How can people with such messy lives become celebrities? What about teaching children?”
Wang Bing’s video spread exponentially on the internet, affecting both Xu Chang and Wen Nian.
Moreover, some “observant” netizens pointed out a fresh scratch on Wang Bing’s arm in the video.
As a newcomer, she had received a lot of resources from the beginning. Although they were all second and third female leads, this was a role that ordinary new actors could not get. Especially in a television drama that made her a little famous, the scratches on her arms had not disappeared. This was obviously a resource she had exchanged her body for.
With one person’s reminder, more netizens discovered the problem of Wang Bing’s resources becoming better. Some people even connected the timeline of her fame, as if there was really a big shot behind the scenes helping her.
As the video incident escalated, Xu Chang’s studio immediately went on high alert, responding to various comments and dealing with the investors.
Tian Juan brought Wang Bing and her manager to a villa under Ding Sheng Media.
Tian Juan shouldn’t have interfered, but since it concerned Wen Nian, she had to know the situation as soon as possible.
She asked worriedly, “Sis Wang, what are your company’s plans for this matter?”
After all, Wang Bing was not an artiste of Ding Sheng. It was not appropriate for her to interfere in everything, but she was still willing to give Xu Chang face.
Wang Bing’s face was pale. Although she was still expressionless, it could be seen that her body was trembling slightly.
“The company plans not to do anything and not reply to this matter.” Wang Li’s expression was a little ugly. “The video can’t be deleted cleanly, and Wang Bing’s face…”
She didn’t continue, but everyone in the room understood. Wang Bing’s face was exposed in the video, and this stain couldn’t be removed. So, the company basically wanted to give up on Wang Bing and didn’t plan to do anything.
Wang Bing’s company, though not large, had some background in the industry. However, they couldn’t make efforts for a third-tier actress, even if she had collaborated with Xu Chang.
“And the movie directed by Xu might also be affected. The relevant authorities are now demanding the movie to stop screening.” Wang Li sighed, “Tian Juan, Wen Nian, thank you, but this time… we can only leave it to fate.”
Wang Bing wanted to speak several times but didn’t say anything. Hearing Wang Li say this, tears flowed from her eyes.
She stood up, then bowed deeply to Wen Nian and Tian Juan, “I’ve implicated you both. I’m sorry for this, I… I…”
Her body kept trembling, and she was already sobbing uncontrollably. She had thought that this movie would be the turning point of her life, the starting point of a different life, but she did not expect to fall to the bottom of the valley this time.
Tian Juan didn’t know what to say. Outsiders really couldn’t help with this kind of thing, not to mention that Wang Bing’s management company had already given up on her.
Several people fell into silence, and at this moment, Wen Nian finally spoke, “Are you willing to let yourself be ruined like this?”
