Chapter 884: Unexpected Windfall

                                    

                                          
After realizing that Jennie and V had a scene together, Momo watched the movie three times just for those precious few minutes. There were a lot of shippers just like Momo as well...
The production committee mentioned that it was a modernized version of "The World" as a gimmick and was trying to attract more people to watch it. The movie investors even asked Chen Mian to reward Jennie with a big red packet as a token of appreciation and also asked her to cooperate with the promotion.
Jennie did not see this unexpected windfall coming. Of course, she would not reject an offer that benefited both parties, so she shared the post from the official account and also attended a few roadshows.
Among all the positive comments, there were bound to be some negative ones and some very nasty ones at that.
[Shouldn't this character be played by Biqin? How did it become Jennie instead?]
[Isn't it obvious? Someone must have forced her way through. How shameless, snatching roles just to be closer to V!]
[That's crazy, it was just a minor character! I don't understand what V sees in her. He was totally being used!]
...
Actually, when Jennie saw the cross-dressing script earlier, it was really just a small production with roughly only $10 million of investment.
While it was impossible to get a female lead in a big production with her current level of fame, she could still fight for some leading roles in small productions. However, after Biqin got the role and made a fuss about it, it became one of the most invested series and many renowned celebrities joined the fray.
Apparently, Biqin had paid some people to help her to attack Jennie on the Internet, supported by the assumption that Yimo was the future lady boss of Glory World.
Unfortunately for her, before Jennie and Jieun got to take action, Chen Mian had clarified that it was Biqin who dishonored the contract, prompting them to ask Jennie for help. Therefore, any role-snatching rumors were dismissed instantly and he even harshly criticized Biqin's behavior. He even mentioned that he would never hire her for any future movie production he was involved in.
At Glory World Entertainment, Jennie got a call from Jieun to meet her in the office. On the way there, she met Biqin and her posse in the hallway.
Jennie's conflict with Yimo's gang was almost common knowledge; as long as it was not under the scrutiny of the public, they had no reason to be nice to each other, so they did not acknowledge each other and Jennie just ignored her and walked past them.
Biqin raised her voice loudly as if afraid that Jennie would not be able to hear her, "Oh, do you guys know that Chen Mian said he's never going to hire me ever again? He's just an outdated director, who does he think he is?"
"Exactly, 'Our 18-Year-Old Youth' spent so much on promoting that it can't even cover its cost yet! He doesn't even know who to look for support!"
"Chen Mian's career would have ended by the time Biqin's new movie is out!"
"Speaking of which, what's Jennie doing recently? Anything new?"
"She's just been promoting that trash movie with Chen Mian and V. I've not heard anything about the new movie!"
"Even if she did, it wouldn't be anything popular. If she took on any big roles, she would've told the whole world about it!"
