The director of R Nation hoped that this film would also affect the Chinese market. Jia Le was also very happy to work with this director who had won the Best Newcomer Director Award at the International Film Festival.
Although Jia Le’s actress didn’t have many scenes in the movie, it was nearly 10 minutes. It was already a very sincere role that the director of R Nation had offered.
Jia Le was prepared to let a female artiste in the company who was rising rapidly take on this role. This female artiste had already gone to R Nation a few days ago and the process of discussing cooperation was very smooth. The contract had been signed.
After signing the contract, the female artiste took half a day to stroll around R Nation’s pedestrian street with the thought that she was already here. She also bought some local specialty products.
On the way back, an accident happened.
On the tram, a man from R Nation harassed this female artiste when he saw that she was beautiful and had a good figure. A conflict soon broke out between the two sides. This female artist also had a fiery personality, so she raised her leg and kicked the man’s lower body.
The situation at the event location was very chaotic. This accident was even captured by many onlookers. At the moment, the matter was still being resolved.
What was a little tricky was that after the man who had sexually harassed her found out that the person who had beaten him was a female celebrity from abroad, he immediately changed his statement and said that he was a fan of this female celebrity.
It was only because he liked her too much that he wanted to hug her. However, the other party attacked him directly. The moment the man changed his words, the nature of the entire matter changed.
In R Nation, although celebrities looked very popular, their social status was not high. They did not earn much money and could not be compared to Country Z at all. Moreover, in R Nation, if a celebrity had a conflict with an audience or fan, regardless of right or wrong, the person to apologize and forgive would be the celebrity.
Even if celebrities were attacked by crazy black-hearted fans, they had to choose to forgive them.
After hearing Ye Xuan’s description, Lu Zhen was very surprised and curious. She asked, “Then?”
Ye Xuan glanced at her. “What else can there be? Anyway, we definitely can’t let her act in that movie.”
When the female artiste heard that she had to make a public statement to forgive the pervert who sexually harassed her, she was so angry that she flew into a rage on the spot and said that it was impossible.
As this matter had blown up, the netizens of R Nation were also paying attention.
In the eyes of the netizens of R Nation, that male fan’s actions were indeed a little inappropriate, but he had acted too rudely because he liked this foreign female celebrity. This foreign female celebrity should not be so calculative.
The entertainment culture of R Nation had always been like this, so it was not strange for the netizens of R Nation to have such thoughts. After all, in R Nation, a celebrity’s actual human rights were even lower than ordinary people.
Under such circumstances, there were only two choices.
If that female celebrity insisted on an unfair development statement, she would at most not develop in R Nation in the future. It would not affect her from acting in Country Z.
If that female celebrity “do as the Romans” and forgave that man, it would naturally satisfy the netizens of R Nation. In the future, the movie she filmed would not affect R Nation much, and the problem would be resolved.
When Lu Zhen heard this, she probed, “Then what does the company mean?”
No matter how unwilling that actress was, if Jia Le insisted that she had to make a public statement to forgive that man, she would definitely not be able to resist.
Ye Xuan frowned and said, “She’s unwilling to forgive that man. The company doesn’t intend to force her.” Sighing, she explained, “Although this matter hasn’t spread to the country for the time being, it might become domestic news in a few days. In this matter, the female celebrity who was harassed was not wrong. If we let her publicly forgive that man, what will the people of Country Z think?”
To the people of Country Z, they would definitely feel that the female celebrity was too aggrieved, and this matter would escalate to the nature of “humiliation.”
As one of the most famous entertainment companies in Country Z, Jia Le would definitely be looked down upon by the netizens of Country Z. Not only did they not seek justice for the female artist under them, but they also made the other party forgive the person who sexually harassed her.
Therefore, there was no need to think about a public apology.
Jia Le’s decision was to let the female celebrity return to the country as soon as possible. Before the matter blew up, they would choose not to pursue the man’s mistakes and quickly settle this matter.
