One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love

Chapter 2389: Dilemma

“Forced his wish on you?”

The man could not help squinting his eyes suspiciously when he heard that.

His woman immediately retorted, “Hey, don’t go imagining wild things.”

“Does cutting your hair short trouble you that much?”

The woman nodded her head with a pout, her innocent, sparkling eyes focusing on him petulantly at the same time.

“You don’t have to cut it short, then.”

Is there a need to be so troubled?

If the actress put her foot down on this matter, nobody could really force her to cut her hair.

“But... the role requires the heroine to sport a short crop! The director had effectively nailed me to the cross when he used that reason.” She cupped her long, silky hair in her hands and twirled it around her fingertips, feeling mournful as she commented, “What a pity! Sigh...”

Her man ruffled her hair with a smile. “Nobody will dare to touch your hair; don’t overthink on this matter.”

“Why did you say that?” she asked quizzically, looking dazed.

“There’s no ‘why’.” Cocking a brow, the man’s orbs darkened as he curled his lips into a smile. “I like your raven-colored hair, too. It’ll be a pity to cut this just to do a show.”

“Then... am I being unprofessional if I reject the order?” The artist then pouted. “Some time ago, a certain actress was criticized by netizens over unprofessionalism.”

“What for?”

“The leading lady was ruthlessly criticized by netizens for her lack of professionalism. They said that she refused to cut her hair short and chose to wear a wig, instead. Turns out that it spoiled the look in the show. There’s a torrent of criticisms hurled at her, thereafter, saying that she wasn’t working hard enough for her talent fee. Plus, she was found to be chewing gum while filming the show.”

The entertainment industry attracted all kinds of people, and it was growing fickle by the days. Acting was no longer just a job unlike in the past.

Ten years ago, movie stars and idols enjoyed unadulterated adoration from their diehard fans.

The fans in present times were certainly still obsessed with their favorite idols, but they were sensible in their support, too. Besides the idols’ looks, fans were more concerned with the character and artistry of the ones they idolized. The mentality of pursuing superstars had grown mature at this point. There was no mindless support or tolerance for the artists’ ugly side.

“The fans said that, despite her tons of earnings, her acting, character, and work ethics are poor; thus, some fans have begun to hate her. Actually... I feel that it’s true that chewing gum while on the job is rather ridiculous of her, but those personal attacks are too harsh, too.”

Mu Yazhe commented, “A high fee is indicative that she’s popular, and any shows she does will generate revenue, but as you know, this is how the public behaves. When an artist does what they want, they will support her; when the artist goes against their wishes, they will step on her. After all, there’s no need for them to be responsible with their words.”

“That’s true.”

It was true that with the anonymity the vast internet provided, it was quite impossible for anyone to be held accountable for their vicious words.

She added suddenly, “I still don’t agree that she’s being unprofessional when she refused to cut her hair. Acting has been idolized to an unrealistic level. Entertainers still have to depend on their luck to make it big, so standards needn’t be set too high or too low. Will an average employee cut her lovely hair just because her boss says so? Isn’t this infringing on her basic rights? And yet, when it comes to acting, we’ll be accused of being irresponsible and unprofessional if we refuse to do so.”
