The video was clear, and the audio was also very distinct. Throughout the entire process, it was clearly visible that Filippa was impatient, completely contradicting her claim of being dedicated to her work. She was mocking Elisa with every word as she faced her. Sebastian’s attitude was better, earnestly rehearsing lines with Elisa, but Filippa frequently interrupted, disrupting the rhythm between the two.
There was no evidence of any editing from start to finish. The crucial point came at the end. Filippa and Sebastian claimed that Elisa had altered the script on stage, but the truth was that the script had not changed from the beginning; the performance followed the movie’s rhythm exactly.
Ezra committed suicide, and Brigitta wept while holding his body. Elisa and Sebastian’s final rehearsal of the lines was indeed from the original script.
So, what is there to misunderstand?
Sebastian claimed that he had finalized the script on the 6th and sent three copies to Elisa before the 8th, yet Elisa still had the original script in her hands, and the three of them rehearsed the lines accordingly.
If the script had truly been altered, they should have discussed it with Elisa, but they did not. Furthermore, Filippa continued to deny ever rehearsing lines with Elisa. Was Elisa rehearsing with two ghosts?
To put it plainly, over the past few days, Filippa had been directly confronted by this video and audio recording, shattering the lies she had concocted into pieces.
It wasn’t Filippa and Sebastian who had been deceived, it was Elisa who had been jointly deceived by these two; a staggering revelation.
If there were only an audio recording, Filippa could still insist that it was fabricated, but the unfortunate fact for her was that there was also a video. The video was clear enough to show Filippa wearing a scowling expression, a far cry from the straightforward and candid persona she usually projected to the public.
The entire video was an hour long, and the onlookers, though unable to watch it from beginning to end, quickly skipped to the end after watching a segment, and this did not hinder their ability to comprehend or form opinions.
The release of the video caused a huge sensation. Filippa was struck as if by lightning. How could this be possible? How did Elisa obtain that video and recording from that day? Clearly, she had checked the rehearsal room in advance and found no cameras… Did she have them on her all along?
Once the video was out, it was obvious to even fools that she had intentionally targeted Elisa. Her image had taken a severe hit.
Elisa was so ruthless! Filippa turned pale; she didn’t even dare to read the comments on the video, knowing they would be full of harsh criticisms.
Indeed, one never truly feels the pain until the knife is plunged into one’s own flesh.
Filippa’s eyes welled up; this time it was not an act. She felt not just anger and fear, but also a sense of injustice. The journalists quickly caught on, rushing to the front with their cameras to capture the scene.
The surrounding noise was incessant. Filippa looked at the surging crowd, her expression becoming increasingly unpleasant, and her ears began to ring as if she had suddenly gone deaf.
She wanted to escape, but her feet seemed glued to the floor, and she couldn’t move. In the end, Sebastian had to forcibly carry her away from the scene.
The two who had been mocking Elisa and demanding justice during the live broadcast had now been thoroughly humiliated. It was easy to imagine how frenzied the internet had become at that moment, with the harsh criticisms being hurled at them.
Everyone was at the forefront of the action, and they were already posting on social media even before watching the entire video.
The negative information about Elisa had been overwhelmed and pushed down, in a flash.
#FilippaSebastian press conference fiasco#
The netizens were all opportunists. Now, they were joining in the chorus of criticism, accusing Filippa and Sebastian of hyping up the situation and using it to elevate themselves at Elisa’s expense.
Filippa seemed to have lost her soul, collapsing backstage into a chair, her grip on her phone loosening until it fell to the ground. The screen was filled with mocking comments from internet users, piercing her like thorns in the eye.
“It’s over…” she muttered absentmindedly, those words echoing in her mind.
It’s over. Completely over…
The fans who had been eagerly watching the live broadcast were now in disbelief after seeing the tweets.
The Filippa they had admired, who they had thought was straightforward and genuine, had been deceiving her fans all along, and was now trying to frame someone else. This kind of behavior, pulling someone down while pretending to be innocent, wasn’t it just beinga green tea b*tch?
What kind of immortal couple’s love is this? This is a b*tch paired with a dog.
“Filippa, you liar!”
“I didn’t expect even Sebastian, an actor of his caliber, to join in. The entertainment industry is truly a huge melting pot.”
The criticisms were instantly directed at Filippa and Sebastian.
“Filippa, come out and explain. Why frame Elisa? Saying she tampered with the script and seduced Sebastian? Clearly, in the video, she looked indifferent. Where did you see her flirting with Sebastian?”
“Using such means to attract attention, to create hype, are you being fair to your fans?”
“The fans who turned from support to criticism are blind as a bat.”
“Although… I still choose to support Filippa. Maybe she acted impulsively, but Elisa is truly bad. Have you forgotten her role as a stage girl?”
“Filippa and Sebastian may not be good people, but Elisa is worse.”
“I want to analyze the script rationally. On the 11th, I noticed something wrong. Elisa’s acting was absolutely stunning! She outperformed Filippa, and Sebastian couldn’t match her either! There were no issues at the beginning, but in the final section of the play, where Sebastian, playing Ezra, had a turning point, if Elisa had stuck to the original script there, she would have undoubtedly faltered, and she would have lost for sure! I have to praise Elisa’s improvisation. The audience, including me, didn’t notice anything amiss. The part where she knelt down to deliver her lines, I, a grown man, cried right there. Clearly, she was the one who had maliciously altered the script, yet her performance outshone Sebastian and Filippa. Amazing! I’ve decided to become an Elisa fan from now on, solely to appreciate her acting. You can criticize her for her personal life, accuse her of being two-faced, or even of being a flirt, but her acting skills are untouchable!”
This netizen’s words resonated with many bystanders. Some had seen Elisa’s performance live, while others had seen edited clips online. They couldn’t find any faults in her portrayal of Brigitta. Following the incident, they had kept silent, believing Filippa’s words. Elisa’s acting had been so dazzling, thanks in part to Sebastian and Filippa, that they had started to doubt her true abilities.
Elisa’s Twitter fan base began to grow, this time with genuine fans.
In the grand scheme of things, it might not have been a big deal, but Filippa’s public image was undoubtedly tarnished. One should not underestimate a public image in the entertainment industry; it could lead to an artist gaining or losing fans in an instant, like a double-edged sword and a mirror, able to reflect a person’s true self.
Filippa was crying uncontrollably, and Sebastian was crouched in front of her, trying to console her.
