147 Chapter 147. Fighting Openly And Secretly
This time, Ding Shan did not avoid it. Instead, she stared at Chen Tong with a cold smile. She sized her up from head to toe. Her eyes seemed deep in thought, and she was not in a hurry to speak.
Chen Tong felt a little uncomfortable under Ding Shan’s stare. She squeezed out a stiff smile and asked, “Sister Shan, why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong? I admire you.”
Ding Shan kept staring at Chen Tong with her eyes, but she was still unwilling to speak.
Chen Tong felt more and more guilty. She took the initiative to look away. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became very strange. It was hushed. No one knew what to say.
Ding Shan finally smiled, “Oh, I just realized. You are called Chen Tong, right? I’m sorry. My memory is not good. I can’t remember the names of many new people in the industry. You said you admired me for crossing over. I thought I should at least give you a polite response. Unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, I still can’t remember your name or representative work. Don’t blame me if I’m wrong.”
Ding Shan looked at Chen Tong’s increasingly ugly expression and smiled even more sincerely, “I am indeed in the acting industry and have never participated in a talent show before. However, director Yin invited me warmly. I also want to give it a try. Are you also crossing over? I don’t think I’ve seen you act in any shows before.”
Xiao Zhao rolled her eyes and started to play along with Ding Shan with a mischievous smile, “Sister Shan, you don’t know. This Miss Chen Tong is not a crossover. She also debuted in a talent show. At that time, many people even said she was little Ding Shan. However, she usually participated in variety shows. Naturally, you don’t know about it, Sister Shan.”
Ding Shan nodded her head as if she had suddenly realized something, “So that’s how it is. Look at me. I usually only care about big-budget movies and TV series, so I don’t know anything about variety shows. Miss Chen has participated in so many variety shows. I’m sure you have a lot of experience. Please help me.”
Then, she pretended to be angry and said to Xiao Zhao, “Stop saying things like Little Ding Shan. The media is talking nonsense. Don’t you know anything? How does Miss Chen look like me? You can’t say that just because I entered the industry early and have some fame. It looks like Miss Chen is borrowing my fame.”
Xiao Zhao held back her laughter and quickly agreed, “Yes, I said it wrong. Miss Chen Tong, don’t blame me!”
Chen Tong’s face turned green and white. She gritted her teeth and said stubbornly, “How can that be? Sister Ding Shan is right. It’s all nonsense from the media. It doesn’t count. How can I be angry?”
No matter how angry Chen Tong was, she could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger. In front of so many people and with sister Li, the senior manager, around, Chen Tong naturally could not become angry out of humiliation.
Chen Tong’s expression was hideous. She cursed in her heart. It was a pity that Ding Shan and that d*mn manager had taken out the press release she had previously released and used it to talk about things. All of a sudden, she was in the wrong.
In the past, she had indeed used Ding Shan’s fame to make her debut and wanted to enter the film industry. Ultimately, she failed and could only participate in some variety shows. Initially, she thought that Ding Shan was done for this time and that she could take the opportunity to show off. Who would have thought that Ding Shan would come back and even come over to participate in the same variety show as her? How could she be willing to accept this?
She even said she only cared about big-budget movies and television dramas and did not know her. Wasn’t this mocking her for having a low status, being unable to participate in variety shows, and not being worthy of being compared to her?
Chen Tong was hit where it hurt, but there was nothing she could do. She could only sulk and refuse to speak anymore.
Ding Shan saw that Chen Tong did not speak anymore, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile. She could not go too far in front of sister Li, a gold-medal (distinguished) manager. The show had not started yet, and it was not a glorious thing for a female teacher to quarrel in front of everyone in the dressing room. She just needed to give Chen Tong a little warning.
Didn’t Chen Tong say that she was not a diamond in the rough yet had come to take on this porcelain job?
She wanted to let Chen Tong know that she had to look at her strength before talking about others.
It was true that she had never participated in variety shows before, but at least she had some achievements in the acting industry. Chen Tong used her name to make her debut. She could not become an actress and could only go into variety shows. Since when did she have the right to mock her?
Li Yang listened to the exchange between Ding Shan and Chen Tong. She did not say a word. She knew that with her around, the two of them would not fall out the first time they met.
Initially, Li Yang did not intend to participate in these things. The conflicts between female artistes were the scariest. There were thousands of reasons to fight for resources, endorsements, popularity, fans, and even male artistes. Behind the scenes, the fights were even more bloody. Ding Shan’s and Chen Tong’s fight was just a small fight. Li Yang had seen it many times.
However, after Ding Shan finished speaking, she could not help but laugh.
