Chapter 208 Tiger Smiles Slightly
Grace just dropped a bombshell on Twitter.
Her tweet read: [Hey everyone, it's Grace. It's been about a year since I last saw you all. Got three big announcements to share.]
[First off, as of today, Grace Film Group is officially up and running. It's a brand-new film company, but I won't bore you with the details.]
[Second, despite all the setbacks this past year, I'm not giving up. I'm sticking with the career I love, no matter what. I've always been innocent.]
[My new drama, "Traveling Through 10 Billion Years," begins filming in a month. Valentin is directing it, and we've been preparing for three years. I trust him, and I trust myself. This is going to be an epic sci-fi film with a budget of over $150 million.]
[Third, in three days, I'll be holding a press conference at the Seattle Sports Arena. Got questions? Ask me in person. I'm ready to face all the reporters and media! That's all for now!]
Within an hour, the entertainment industry and countless netizens were in an uproar!
Was Grace out of her mind?
Had the setbacks driven her insane?
A disgraced actress starting a film company? Planning a $150 million movie? And teaming up with the equally disgraced director Valentin?
Both of them had fallen from grace. One was a mistress, the other had an affair. Who would watch a movie made by them? And they called it an epic sci-fi film?
The tweet went viral, and Grace was trending again.
Major media outlets ran with sensational headlines.
[Shocking! Big-name mistress announces she's starting a film company?]
[Ridiculous! A mistress and a scandalous director making a movie together?]
[Psych expert says: Scandalous star Grace might be losing it!]
[I'm the editor, and I gotta ask: Will you support a movie by Grace and Valentin?]
Under these headlines, the comments were brutal.
[Honestly, I've never seen someone so shameless. Doesn't Grace have any shame? Her reputation's trashed, and she still wants to make a movie?]
[She won't stop until she's officially banned. Only severe punishment will scare her. This is self-destruction!]
[This is hilarious. 'Traveling Through 10 Billion Years'? Just the name sounds like trash. And they claim a $150 million budget?]
[To be fair, Grace is pretty. She's got charm, but she's also materialistic, sneaky, and fake!]
To many netizens, Grace's actions seemed like a desperate grab for fame and fortune, even if it meant trashing her reputation.
After all, whether it was good or bad publicity, as long as there was attention, she could make money.
Back in the day, some celebs thrived on stirring up scandals to grab attention.
Once they had enough followers, they could monetize their fame. So, they went to crazy lengths to get noticed, even if it meant trashing their own reputations.
But times have changed. With the country's rapid economic growth, the government started cracking down hard on the entertainment industry and major online platforms, including literary ones.
The wild west days were over.
Disgraced celebs now get blacklisted by all platforms.
If someone got officially banned, they were pretty much done for!
Forget about making movies; even live streaming could get their accounts shut down!
Yet here was Grace, not holding back at all. Didn't she realize she was on a one-way trip to self-destruction?
In a swanky downtown apartment in Nuw Yark, Tiger was scrolling through the gossip on Twitter, almost laughing out loud!
That idiot, he always knew she was dumb, but this was next-level stupid. Someone was clearly backing her, yet she chose to self-destruct?
Sure, there was a lot of hate online, but Tiger hadn't completely won yet.
Even though many celebs had his back, some fans still supported Grace.
She had a certain charm and a knack for attracting fans.
If she played the weak and innocent card, she could easily trigger the protective instincts of many men.
A few tears and a sad face on camera, and this whole thing could still go either way.
But Grace had no clue about strategy! Instead of playing the victim, she boldly announced a movie with Valentin, the scandalous director!
Didn't she know Valentin was hated by countless women for having an affair?
Grace was playing her cards all wrong, and it was bound to end in disaster!
When someone chooses self-destruction, not even divine intervention can save them.
Tiger lounged on the sofa, happily munching on watermelon.
He pulled out his phone and called Kimberly. "Ms. Harris, you must've seen Grace's tweet!"
"Yeah, I saw it. Anything else?" The voice on the other end was icy.
"Ms. Harris, I really appreciate your help this time. You stepped up when things were tough. I won't forget it. It's been so many years since then, back when..."
"Tiger, if there's nothing else, let's end the call. I only helped out of respect for Rex. Don't get it twisted. There's nothing between us anymore!" Kimberly cut him off, her tone frosty.
When someone became successful, they didn't want to dredge up old, unpleasant memories.
Some things, once said, lose all meaning!
These two were big names in their circles, and neither wanted certain things to come to light.
Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for both.
"Alright then. Anyway, I appreciate your help. Maybe we can work together again sometime!" Tiger smirked.
