Chapter 90-95

Chapter 090. He agreed

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Of course, there were a few exceptions in such a huge fan base. When the other fans expressed their support for Ding Shan, they interjected sarcastically. "I'm not buying it. It's fake. Just say a few good words, and people will believe you. If you have any evidence, let us know first! Do you think letting people get scolded because of you is fun?"

Ding Shan read the message for a long time. The words "Because of you" hurt Ding Shan a little.

The fan's words and actions were improper; the stars could be slandered anywhere. It might ruin a celebrity. But if a celebrity's reputation was terrible and they did something wrong, the fans wouldn't be able to raise their heads outside. They wouldn't even have the courage to scold people.

...

No one chased after a celebrity to be bullied. Because of her, other fans must have ridiculed them many times.

However, even though Ding Shan felt sorry for her fans, she knew she could not say too much.

There were many people in the group. Although they had gone through many layers of screening when entering the group, it was inevitable that there would be anti-fans or undercover agents.

This kind of thing had happened before. Some fans were fearless when they went crazy.

If the plan was leaked and Yang Hua thought of other ways, it would not be worth it. Therefore, even though Ding Shan knew her fans were worried, she could not say anything.

She only felt a little guilty. After typing a few lines, she felt it was inappropriate, so she deleted it and retyped it. After going back and forth a few times, she still did not know what to say.

However, the other fans could not stand it anymore and directly retorted, "Who forced you? Everyone is willing to like Ding Shan and believe in her. You can leave the group if you have other thoughts or feel wronged. Don't disturb the morale of the troop here!"

Then, they changed the topic and comforted Ding Shan, "Baby, don't look at these. We can understand. It's alright when you feel that the time is ripe. As long as you give the order, we will sweep the Internet!"! "I have also liked you for many years. I bought your poster when I was in school. Now that I've earned money, I'll spend it all on you, Baby!"! "If I'm forced, I'll buy it for tens of thousands of internet trolls. I'll go all the way with them!"

Ding Shan burst into laughter. This person had the same thoughts as Xiao Zhao. They both wanted to spend money to buy her a troll army and keep her as their mistress. How nice.

Ding Shan knew that even though she didn't manage to get any good work from Yang Hua all these years, she was still lucky enough to have left behind these loving fans. After these few days of baptism, it was like a big wave of gold-digging; the ones left behind were all die-hard fans.

They were undoubtedly a valuable asset for her future development. Those who stayed behind after experiencing the storms and waves knew how to stay with her for a long time. She was about to have a group of loyal fans. For them, she must not fall; she had to bring them to the peak of the entertainment industry to see the most beautiful scenery. Only then would she not let down this night.

Ding Shan slowly replied, "You guys are my most precious gift. I will cherish it. I have worked hard and will not let you guys lose face again. Don't scold others anymore. Rest early. See you tomorrow."

After she said that, she hesitated for a while but still could not bear to leave the group. She silently peeked at the screen and looked at it attentively, trying to look through all the fan accounts in the group and memorize their online names.

The group was still discussing fervently, but they were no longer extreme. Some were still thinking about what Ding Shan had just said, and some were already joking and chatting in the group.

Ding Shan had said, believe her and don't go out to quarrel. Then they would be obedient and wait for Ding Shan to instruct them when she had the money and strength to pay for it. They would take a sound bite of their anger and kill all those mentally disabled haters!

Ding Shan quietly accompanied her fans and checked their accounts, memorizing the warmth of these difficult times.

After an unknown amount of time, it was already late at night. Ding Shan was so focused that she forgot the passage of time.

Xiao Zhao rushed back in a hurry. Once she entered, she could not control the excitement in her heart. She jumped up and down at the door and said, "Sister Shan! He agreed! He agreed!"

Because it was already late at night, she did not dare to shout out loud. Xiao Zhao suppressed her voice in excitement. She didn't even know where her happy hands were.

Ding Shan was not surprised when she heard the result. It was just within her expectations.

But no matter what, the matter could be adequately resolved. In the end, she had temporarily put down the massive rock in her heart and felt much more relaxed.

Ding Shan looked at the happy Xiao Zhao, who was like a bit of a bird and smiled. "Little Zhao, well done! You've done a meritorious deed!"

Chapter 091. Tax Evasion

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xiao Zhao was elated. She could finally help out sister Shan. She had finally found some sense of worth!

So she had some use after all. She could help out sister Shan in the future!

Ding Shan raised her eyebrows and asked, "What did he say? Have you two discussed it?"

...

Xiao Zhao sat down excitedly and told Ding Shan about how she went to look for Director Yang.

"Sister Shan, let me tell you. You're amazing! When I first went, he was drinking in a daze. It was terrifying. After I told him, he told me to get lost. That no one would believe him if he said that. He was almost a cripple, yet someone came to lie to him."

Xiao Zhao's expression was twisted as she spoke with great eloquence, "When I heard him say how could that work? I quickly tried to persuade and told him about the advantages and disadvantages sister Shan had analyzed just now. However, he didn't believe me and felt that there was no hope left. He didn't want to get involved!"

Ding Shan nodded. Director Yang had been bullied so miserably, so it was reasonable for him to be worried. "Then why did he agree to it later? Did you pass on what I said?"

Xiao Zhao slapped her thigh, "That's right! That's why I said, Sister Shan, you're amazing! When I saw that the situation wasn't good, I quickly explained what you said to him. Guess what happened? He suddenly froze. He didn't say anything for a long time. I thought that he had drunk too much and fallen asleep. In the end, he suddenly laughed out loud again! I thought that he was crazy. But after laughing for a while, he suddenly agreed!"

Ding Shan understood and smiled. She was relieved.

Xiao Zhao continued, "Then, I discussed the details with him. We guessed correctly. Yang Hua signed a yin-yang contract with all the directors in private. Director Yang found his share, and I brought it back. Tomorrow, Director Yang will issue a statement to expose this matter. We need to cooperate!"

Xiao Zhao handed Director Yang's contract to Ding Shan, "Fortunately, Director Yang drank tonight. After I went to him to terminate the contract, he didn't remember to tear up his contract. He looked for a long time in a pile of junk before he found it. My heart almost jumped out of my throat."

Ding Shan took it and flipped through it. There were a few of them that could be seen without thinking carefully. They were all beneficial to Yang Hua. She was selling him dog meat. She randomly found a script to shoot and only gave Director Yang a pitiful reward.

Xiao Zhao said softly, "The yin-yang contract was not just to cover up. She handed a copy to the studio, and we thought everything was normal. It was just that the script was not very good. The copy she signed privately with the director not only squeezed out a lot of other expenses into her pocket, but... ... She could also evade taxes!"

Ding Shan looked at Xiao Zhao in surprise.

Xiao Zhao's eyes were filled with joy, "I realized this. She can't fool me. The difference between this contract and the one left behind by the studio is huge. The amount of remuneration doesn't even match. If we check the bank's flow, it'll be clear at a glance. Yang Hua is done for this time!"

Ding Shan also smiled slightly and patted Xiao Zhao. "Thanks to you, you're a hero."

Xiao Zhao was so happy that she almost flew into the air. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Ding Shan, "Sister Shan, there's one more thing I'm curious about, but I don't dare to ask Director Yang. Why did Director Yang react so strangely after I answered his question? And then he agreed?"

Ding Shan sighed with emotion. "I guess he's already disappointed in the entertainment industry. He wants to save himself and live on."

Ding Shan looked at Xiao Zhao. "Do you still remember telling you I wanted to act in one of his suspense dramas but was stopped by Yang Hua? She went to slander Director Yang for taking drugs?"

Xiao Zhao nodded. Of course, she remembered. She was afraid that Director Yang would hold a grudge against Ding Shan because of this.

Ding Shan smiled, "That sentence was a line from Director Yang's drama script. He wrote it after two years of reviewing and polishing. I once read the script seriously. That sentence was very suitable for our current situation. If he still has a deep attachment to his art and a sense of reluctance, it was impossible for him not to be moved."

Ding Shan smiled slyly. "I was just reminding him when he was at his weakest."

Xiao Zhao was stunned and full of admiration. "Sister Shan, you're amazing. You managed to break Director Yang's heart with just a sentence! Amazing!"

Chapter 092. The Eve of Battle

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ding Shan and Xiao Zhao discussed their plans for the next day.

Xiao Zhao and Director Yang had already discussed it. Director Yang would take the lead and denounce Director Wang. Then, they would expose Yang Hua's yin-yang contract. Then, Ding Shan would denounce to destroy Yang Hua's lies.

It was already late at night, but Ding Shan and Xiao Zhao were not sleepy at all. They had the excitement preceding a big battle.

...

In the entertainment industry, exchanging blows and flashes of swords was like war. Everyone had an exquisite heart and wore smiling faces when there might be a knife behind their backs.

Ding Shan was forced into an awkward position this time. The reputation of a female celebrity was as crucial as her beautiful face. To think that she could think of such a step shows how sinister and vicious Yang Hua's intentions were.

Ding Shan muttered to herself, "In the past, I've always watched her use this method to deal with others. She slandered and trampled on them. I don't know how many she has destroyed people's stardom. At that time, I was still young, and I didn't know what the consequences would be. Now, she's using this method to deal with me, but I'm no longer a child."

Xiao Zhao's heart ached as she drew Ding Shan back. "Sister Shan, it's not your fault that you met someone unladylike. It's all Yang Hua's fault. You mustn't blame yourself."

Ding Shan sneered, "That's right. It's all her fault. She's indeed cunning and ruthless. She's very suitable in the entertainment industry, enjoying all the advantages and privileges. In her eyes, everyone has been labeled and categorized."

Ding Shan held Xiao Zhao back and muttered softly, "She looks down on people who don't have the capital or background. Unfortunately, she's too arrogant and underestimates her enemies. She has harmed so many people. These people will turn the pain on her if there's a chance. Even if one doesn't have the capital or background, it is desirable to tear her hypocritical lies to shreds."

Xiao Zhao nodded, "That's right. When the rabbit is anxious, it still bites people. She has forced people into such a state. Who wouldn't resist? She is so bad. Suppose the entertainment industry is filled with managers like her who follow her bullsh*t theories. In that case, the celebrities will have to live in misery."

As the two were talking, a new tweet came into the phone. It was Director Wang who had posted on Weibo.

Xiao Zhao frowned. Director Wang had refused to communicate with her and had been bribed by Yang Hua. There was nothing good about posting on Weibo at this time.

Sure enough, Director Wang had posted a photo of the film crew. It was from Ding Shan's movie. There was not a single mention of the scandal in the text. Instead, he complained openly and subtly about how difficult it was to be a director these days. Occasionally, he would also be unable to help himself; the art was no longer pure enough.

It was full of sentimental words acting like a victim. Although he did not mention a single word about Ding Shan, he had already tacitly accepted the scandal of being seduced and adding scenes to his scenes.

When Xiao Zhao saw this Weibo post, her anger was ignited. She gritted her teeth and wished she could rush into her phone and eat Director Wang, "He's shameless! Why didn't he say that all the actresses had a crush on him? Who would be so determined with his ugly appearance and those lousy movies he filmed? He even talked about art. Bah! Such a wretched and evil dog!"

Ding Shan curled the corners of her lips. She took her phone and flipped it before throwing it away disdainfully, "A person like him is not to be feared.". The scandal had been posted online the entire night. He secretly went into hiding to drink and had chosen to post on Weibo when most people were asleep. His words were still vague, and the netizens had to guess that he had received benefits from Yang Hua, but he didn't want to get too involved.

Xiao Zhao gave director Wang's profile picture a middle finger in disdain. "I curse this cowardly coward who is both greedy and lewd!"

Ding Shan nodded in agreement, "He is indeed greedy and dirty. If he dares to admit it or completely unite with Yang Hua to blame me, I will respect him completely. It's amusing now. Forget it. His lousy dramas are enough to prove that he is indeed a shallow person."

Xiao Zhao pouted. "But he still posted it. The hint is obvious. When someone sees it tomorrow morning, they will scold him even more righteously. I can think of their excuses."

Xiao Zhao imitated the anti-fans and weirdly pinched her throat. "I knew it! The Director has admitted it! What's there to quibble about, Ding Shan..."

Xiao Zhao was sullen and pounded the sofa. "Just thinking about it is so annoying!"

Ding Shan shook her head in amusement. "It's fine. We'll wait for a good show tomorrow morning. Director Yang... He's not an ordinary person. He might take care of Director Wang in an instant!"

Chapter 093. Get Ready to Fight

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xiao Zhao didn't believe it, "Are you serious?" Director Yang's end indeed had sufficient evidence and determination, but he had been bullied so severely in the past. He definitely couldn't win against those people. No, I must prepare a better document and let Director Yang distribute it according to the script!"

Xiao Zhao said as she prepared to get her computer. She had to make Director Yang's first shot loud the next day. She couldn't let her guard down. If she wrote something weak and muddle-headed, everything would be in vain.

Ding Shan gently raised her hand to stop Xiao Zhao. "Don't. Let's trust director Yang."

...

Xiao Zhao was still worried and hesitant.

Ding Shan comforted her, "Director Yang's literary skills and the sharpness of his way of looking at problems are awe-inspiring. There aren't many people who can compare to him. In the past, he was bullied because he had concerns and weaknesses. Now that he's at the bottom of the valley, he naturally doesn't need to think about anything else."

Ding Shan was very confident in Director Yang. "He knows better than anyone that this opportunity might only come once. Xiao Zhao, don't doubt the person you use, nor the person you suspect. Let's wait and see."

This time, Xiao Zhao nodded obediently. Sister Shan was always like this. She had complete trust in the people she acknowledged and also in herself. She would always hand over some important matters to them without hesitation.

This time, with such a significant matter, she was only asked to discuss it with Director Yang. Up until now, she had not personally called Director Yang. It was not only her trust in Director Yang but also her trust in herself!

Xiao Zhao was touched again. Sister Shan remained calm. How could they let her down, knowing all the trust she has in them? She only hoped that Director Yang would not let sister Shan down! Otherwise, she would smash his lousy studio!

Ding Shan got up and stretched. "Alright, go to sleep. There's still a lot to do tomorrow. Get ready for the war."

Xiao Zhao smiled and nodded. "Let the storm come more fiercely! I'm ready!"

The two of them went back to their rooms and slept until dawn. They had clear minds, so they slept very soundly.

The following day, Yang Hua was in a hurry to check the trending topics on her phone when she woke up. When she saw Ding Shan's unspoken rules were still at the top of the list, she smiled smugly. In addition to the Weibo post that Director Wang posted last night,Ding Shan's ugly behavior was now widely known.

Yang Hua laughed as she flipped through her phone, feeling proud in her heart.

That B*tch Ding Shan must be scared to death. It had been so long, and she hadn't made a sound. In the past, she had been protected by her like a little white flower. Now, she did not know how to refute her.

Yang Hua felt like laughing at the sky when she thought Ding Shan might be crying helplessly.

Hmph, you want to fight with me? When I revealed you to the entertainment industry, you were still a little bean who didn't know shit. I can criticize others for you, but I can also turn around and criticize you. It's even more convenient. Who asked you to be unsatisfied? How dare you fire me?

Yang Hua slowly raised a sum of money for Director Wang. It was what the two of them had agreed on previously. Director Wang declared it on Weibo, and only then did she make up the rest of the money.

Although Director Wang's words were vague and Yang Hua wasn't delighted, the effect was still acceptable. She was in a good mood, so she sent the money and left a message, "Happy working with you."

Director Wang received the money very shortly. He feared Yang Hua wouldn't give him the money after being blackmailed. When the money arrived, he was relieved. He even flattered her, "Thank you, Sister Yang. If you need anything in the future, feel free to look for me. I hope you can return to the entertainment industry as soon as possible. We still need to work more together."

When Yang Hua heard this, she felt very comfortable. She added, "Keep your mouth shut. There will naturally be benefits in the future. We can have and earn money together."

Director Wang immediately understood. "My mouth is not tight. I might even say details about how Ding Shan seduced me if I drank too much. Aiya, I was forced. Who can understand my grievance?"

Yang Hua did not expect this director, who specialized in bad movies, to be so good at it. He was so shameless that he burst into laughter.

Everything went smoothly. Next, they would use Ding Wan's voice to denounce that b*tch, Ding Shan.

Yang Hua laughed so hard that her cheeks were trembling. This feeling of having everything under control was excellent. She would be the manager who could summon the wind and rain again.

Chapter 094. Director Yang Swears

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

But Yang Hua never expected an accident that she would never have expected would happen.

Yang Jia, a little-known director who could be stepped on by anyone and was abandoned by fortune, had long been forgotten by Yang Hua. However, on such a morning, he went crazy and wrote a long article. First, he scolded Director Wang fiercely, using elegant yet subtle words to poke at people's hearts.

Then, Director Yang posted photos of evidence, accusing Yang Hua of hurting him over the years, openly declaring war, and calling on those directors who had signed a yin-yang contract with Yang Hua to stand out like him and be a witness for Ding Shan. It proved that Ding Shan did not know anything and was forced by Yang Hua to be on the shelf.

...

As soon as this article was published, it was accompanied by the article that Yang Hua had spent a lot of money to create.

When the netizens saw the dirt Yang Hua posted, they could see this long article. In addition, Ding Shan's fans forwarded it like a tsunami. After a while, it became the top trending topic; it pushed Ding Shan's dirt down.

This tactic was used to the extreme. Ding Shan's fans were organized and disciplined in their criticism of Yang Hua, calling on the directors to stand out.

Everything happened too suddenly. Before Yang Hua could snap out of her complacency, the netizens were attracted by the article.

They all expressed that they didn't know they would be able to see such a great battle in their lifetime. Ding Shan was indeed top-notch. She had been trending on Weibo for a week, with new surprises every day. Moreover, it had gone from a family conflict to an entire entertainment incident.

Many people realized that the entertainment industry might be changing.

The netizens swarmed towards Yang Jia's long article, analyzing it.

After reading it, they were all shocked. Some people sighed, "The entertainment industry is really in a mess! Who said it was real? The manager came down personally to pimp. This is unlikely. After all, Ding Shan is the best actress!"

Immediately, someone retorted, "What's not possible? Didn't we find out that this manager was exploiting Ding Shan? The contract is already there. There's something fishy going on!"

Some people were paying more attention, "It's different when a cultured person scolds others! Director Wang was scolded so badly that he couldn't find a single swear word. But then again, I've heard that Director Wang's reputation isn't outstanding. He's likely a thief called out to catch a thief!"

On the other side, early in the morning, Xiao Zhao contacted the fan club and fan group to get everyone ready to take action as soon as Director Yang's long article was published.

At this moment, looking at the bloody storm that had been stirred up online, Xiao Zhao was finally relieved, "I could tell that Director Yang was usually so discouraged, but when he scolds people, it's satisfying. Look at what he said. Dog Wang is usually extremely wretched, and it's even more obvious when it's reflected in the film. His mind is full of yellow trash, and he can't even shoot a high-quality porno film. It's simply a waste of his lustful heart. He even dares to slander female artistes with his filthy hands. He's shameless and disgraceful!"

Xiao Zhao burst into laughter. "How did he manage to scold them so seriously? It's so funny!"

Ding Shan also laughed. Director Yang's article was full of golden phrases. He scolded Director Wang, and he did not spare even Yang Hua. His words revealed his disdain for these two people as if he despised them.

The key was that not only did he scold them, but he also used his mouth to satisfy his craving. He was also clear and logical. When he posted the chat records and contract photos, it made people think that his scolding was reasonable.

The direction of the Internet changed all of a sudden. Director Yang's final appeal did not require any director to stand up and testify with him. It was just that this kind of appeal tore open a piece of the entertainment industry's fig leaf.

Director Yang's meaning was obvious. I condemned, but I was telling the truth. This was the current situation in the entertainment industry. If you stood up and denounced me, you had a sense of justice. If you chose not to speak, it meant that you were afraid.

In an instant, the other Directors who had signed the yin-yang contract with Yang Hua were dragged into the water. Now, they were the ones who were in a difficult position.

Ding Shan smiled in satisfaction, "When everyone is silent, if one person stands out, cuts through this window paper, breaks the layer of fog, and clearly shows the layer of filth to the world, then no one can pretend that this matter has nothing to do with them."

Ding Shan looked at Xiao Zhao, "Deal with the contracts that we have terminated and send them out. Let's cooperate with director Yang and show everyone who he is appealing to. Let's see who will choose to step down from this stage and become a righteous person deceived by Yang Hua or a cowardly turtle who has conspired with Yang Hua."

Chapter 095. Exposure

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xiao Zhao happily agreed and immediately picked up her phone.

She had long ago taken photos of the contract. The date of termination, the names of both parties, and some of the unreasonable clauses were all written clearly. They were all neatly stitched together.

With Director Yang's long article in front, the netizens should understand after these photos were sent out.

...

Yang Hua signing a contract in her name without consulting the team behind Ding Shan's back was a massive dereliction of duty.

The matter of tax evasion was already a fact. This was a crime.

In addition, Director Yang's contract was a yin-yang contract. Then, were these directors' contracts also fishy?

Director Yang called on the other directors to stand out. Now that Xiao Zhao had posted these photos online, it was no different from calling names. The directors with names on the photos had to think carefully about whether they should come out and admit it.

With Director Yang's "Kind appeal," the other directors were in a tough spot. They had to come forward and take sides.

Yang Hua also implemented the secret deal with many directors and signed yin-yang contracts. This crime was added to other crimes, and the amount of tax evasion was also considerable.

As for whether it was pimping, it was up to the netizens to imagine.

What else did an agent and director have aside from money in private? Why did the director give in? What benefits did he see in Yang Hua's hands?

It wasn't hard to guess when one thought back to Yang Hua's past exploitation and control of Ding Shan.

If she forcefully asked Ding Shan to do something or consented to the director's harassment and didn't help Ding Shan resist, she would be able to do it.

The netizens' imagination and detective skills were powerful, so there was no need to worry about this.

Xiao Zhao did not use Ding Shan's account. Instead, she chose to post the photo on her account. Her Weibo had verified as Ding Shan's manager, and many fans had come to follow her.

Xiao Zhao always felt there was no need to use sister Shan's account to post such a thing. It was not suitable for a female artiste to clarify the matter herself, so after thinking about it, she decided to use her manager's position to protect sister Shan. This stance was also compelling.

Xiao Zhao added the photo and only edited a sentence: "If Sister Shan didn't sign, Sister Shan would not act. The Ding Shan of today is no longer the child who was pushed around by others. Please have some self-respect!"

Then, she clicked send.

Xiao Zhao looked at her phone in satisfaction, waiting for the netizens to rush over to take a look.

Ding Shan smiled. "I thought that you would just write a small essay."

Xiao Zhao pretended to be receptive and blinked. "Based on my current level of excitement, how can a small essay be enough? I have to write a big one!"

Ding Shan was a little curious. "Then why did you only say one sentence so straightforwardly?"

Xiao Zhao pouted, "I can't just focus on expressing my personal feelings. That's not a display of professionalism. I have to say it more succinctly to benefit the reach so that everyone can remember our attitude just by looking at it! My mother once taught me that reason doesn't lie in speaking loudly. This sentence is enough. The pictures are the main point!"

Ding Shan nodded in agreement. "Auntie is right. The reason doesn't lie in speaking loudly. We have all kinds of evidence in our hands. There's no need to say too much."

The two of them waited for this group of photos to ferment.

This was Ding Shan's only response in the past few days.

This Weibo post quickly received a lot of attention and reposts. Although Ding Shan didn't post it, Xiao Zhao's identity as her manager had long been officially announced. Wasn't it Ding Shan's response that she posted?

As the photos were taken one after another, the hearts of the netizens instantly tensed up.

Good heavens, there were so many directors of bad movies. All of them were ruthless people from the annual collection of bad movies. The things they shot couldn't be seen at all. Only a few directors performed well, but at a closer look, the things they shot were utterly different from the topics they were good at. It was obvious that they were messing around.

The netizens did not know what to say for a moment. It was difficult for Yang Hua. To be able to gather all these people together, was she preparing to summon the dragon god of lousy movies?

She was the most vicious woman. She had forcefully knocked a movie queen like Ding Shan into the mortal world. Those directors were very famous, but the common point was that there were too many things they could criticize about them and their works, leaving a deep impression on people. Any internet celebrity with some fame would not be willing to look for them, let alone Ding Shan!

Moreover, looking at the date, it was signed within a year. If Ding Shan did not terminate her contract, she would probably be unable to finish shooting these lousy scripts in the next three years. By then, she would have gone from a movie queen to a lousy movie queen.
