Chapter 314 Scandal
After receiving the script for that art film, Bai Zhirou hesitated, but when she thought about being suspended in the air that day, she made a decisive choice to make the film.
In order not to offend Wu Tao, Bai Zhirou used many excuses to dispel his concerns.
Wu Tao was definitely unwilling, after all, as a man, his wife was showing skin and doing some sexy moves in the movie.
However, Wu Tao loved Bai Zhirou too much, and seeing how persistent she was, he didn't want to disappoint her.
Besides, Bai Zhirou even asked Wu Tao to come along to the film set so that he wouldn't worry.
Wu Tao is an artist anyway, so he can create anywhere. In the end, Wu Tao did indeed go to the film set with Bai Zhirou to film a movie.
With Wu Tao present, Bai Zhirou felt a little awkward during filming, but she also avoided a lot of gossip.
After the film was released, many people were curious about how Bai Zhirou would explain it to her husband.
In an interview, Bai Zhirou talked about some things that happened before and after filming. Only then did everyone realize that Wu Tao himself had also gone to the set with his wife, and now no one would continue to gossip.
Wu Tao had no idea that Bai Zhirou had changed. From her initial attitude towards the role and the script, to now making concessions in order to become famous.
Wu Tao is too naive; his parents never let him experience much social practice growing up.
In his heart, besides painting, his greatest joy is living a happy life with his beloved.
He also thought that Bai Zhirou would always be there for him, until he saw the news about Bai Zhirou and Hezhou's affair.
Only then did Wu Tao belatedly realize some of the changes Bai Zhirou had undergone in the past few months.
In fact, Bai Zhirou used to come back to stay overnight every day, except when she was filming on set in other places.
However, Bai Zhirou has not been filming on set recently, yet she hasn't returned for a week.
When Wu Tao received the call from his parents, he was still in a daze. He called Bai Zhirou, but her phone was switched off.
When contacted, Bai Zhirou's agent told him it was just a misunderstanding but refused to say anything more.
Wu Chang'en directly asked about some recent changes in Bai Zhirou, and it was only at this point that Wu Tao belatedly realized that there were problems in his relationship with Bai Zhirou.
Sun Yan, the mother, felt sorry for her son and immediately wanted to come over to Bai Zhirou to get an explanation.
Wu Tao, on the contrary, persuaded his mother, saying that he would solve these problems.
In reality, Wu Tao had no idea how to solve the problem; instead, he would just hide in his room and drink bottle after bottle of alcohol.
When Wu Tao transmigrated, he discovered that the original owner had drunk herself to death because she was heartbroken.
The original owner did not drink alcohol; she would only drink a little to celebrate when she was happy.
If someone drinks two jin (1 kg) of liquor down their throat this time, they'll be crippled if they don't die.
Bai Zhirou didn't return after all, but her agent came to her door.
Bai Zhirou's agent is called Sister Wang. She used to be very polite to Wu Tao.
Sister Wang is considered a veteran at Sheng Tang Entertainment. Besides Bai Zhirou, she also manages several second-tier artists.
Bai Zhirou was originally just an average person in Sister Wang's eyes, until she won the international Best Actress award and truly became Sister Wang's trump card.
Wu Tao used to be very enthusiastic towards Sister Wang because of Bai Zhirou, and every time they met, he would ask her to take good care of his wife.
Sister Wang knew that Wu Tao's family was wealthy, and since Wu Tao often gave her gifts, they got along quite well on the surface.
However, now that her own interests are involved, and Bai Zhirou and Hezhou had both spoken to her before she came here, she was now facing a difficult situation.
Sister Wang knew this was wrong, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to solve the problem.
Currently, Bai Zhirou and He Zhou are viewed very negatively by the public. It's fine if you two are in love, but the premise is that you can't interfere in someone else's marriage.
Last year, when the art film was released, Bai Zhirou was still showing off her happiness in front of the camera, but today she was seen entering and leaving a hotel with another man late at night.
This is unacceptable to the public, and if it is not handled properly, Sheng Tang Entertainment's stock price may be affected.
At the same time, Bai Zhirou and He Zhou's reputations will suffer greatly. Adding to this, a rival company is fueling the fire, so time is of the essence; this trouble must be resolved as soon as possible.
Now, Bai Zhirou and He Zhou's affair has been confirmed. He Zhou and Bai Zhirou's rise to fame in the entertainment industry already blocked the paths of many others.
Seeing that they were in trouble, naturally some people would try every means to make things bigger.
They not only filmed them entering the hotel, but also took photos of the two leaving their room in the morning.
The two people's faces were clearly visible from inside, making it difficult for them to deny it.
Moreover, after leaving the hotel, the two went to a specialty store and bought a lot of things together.
So the public relations team of Sheng Tang Entertainment came up with the idea of having Bai Zhirou produce her divorce certificate to prove her innocence.
If Bai Zhirou can produce proof that she and Wu Tao are divorced, or admit that they had been separated before, the impact of this scandal can be minimized.
Of course, Sheng Tang Entertainment also knew that this was very unfair to Wu Tao, and they wouldn't naively think that a few words would make Wu Tao cooperate unconditionally.
This would be an utter disgrace for any man, especially since Wu Tao's family was wealthy and he had no weaknesses that could be exploited.
Sister Wang had communicated with Hezhou and Bai Zhirou beforehand. Bai Zhirou offered to leave with nothing and even compensate Wu Tao with 50 million yuan.
Bai Zhirou hasn't actually earned much money from acting over the years; for the first few years, Wu Tao supported her with living expenses from his family.
I've earned over 20 million in the last two years.
This time, we signed a contract with Hezhou to secure the male and female leads. Although the salary is as high as 20 million, after deducting the company's commission and taxes, it will be less than 10 million at most.
So she herself has more than 20 million yuan in savings. Now, in order to compensate Wu Tao for his cooperation, she will leave all this money to Wu Tao and will also give him 50 million yuan in compensation.
Bai Zhirou actually felt very guilty towards Wu Tao, after all, he had been incredibly kind to her.
If she hadn't insisted on proving herself in the entertainment industry, she could have lived a comfortable life at home.
Hezhou was very generous this time. As long as his reputation was not damaged, 50 million was nothing to him.
Conversely, if one's reputation is ruined, the breach of contract fees for endorsements alone could amount to over a billion yuan.
Hezhou's assets are only one billion yuan, which consists of equity and some fixed assets.
Once it's auctioned off, the value might not even be half of what it was originally intended for. That's why Hezhou offered Wu Tao 50 million as compensation in order to resolve the situation quickly.
It was because of these two conditions that Sister Wang was able to face Wu Tao with equanimity.
Of course, she didn't shy away from the question and directly stated that Bai Zhirou had indeed fallen in love with Hezhou, and Wu Tao simply wouldn't agree to a divorce, meaning the two of them wouldn't be happy in the future.
If it were the original owner, she would probably kick them out right now, or she would treat money like dirt and would rather not have a single penny than let those two bastards go.
