Chapter 413: Sick, Pretending
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was not slander.
However, after hearing about the incident on the Internet, the first thing Liu Cheng thought of was that she had not cooperated with the acting at all for the past few days. Shang Rou could be said to be very rebellious.
Shang Rou never hid her thoughts of not wanting to act. Every time it came to her scenes, she would casually go through the motions. When her mediocre performance reached the pa.s.sing mark, she would refuse to improve on it. Instead, she would make things difficult for Bai Yi.
However, it would be a little troublesome to replace her. They might even be bitten by Shang Rou.
Liu Cheng: What a headache.
Before the production team could react, a new commotion appeared on the Internet.
There was a video about Bai Yi and Zhanrong that had been circulated online. The two people in the video were together, and only Bai Yi’s back and gentle smile could be seen. The angle of the photo gave off an ambiguous feeling, making those who saw this video unable to help but let their imaginations run wild.
When those people who had criticized Bai Yi previously saw this video, they were even more certain that she had obtained resources through some improper method. There were also many fans with beautiful faces. When they saw their Big Brother and Bai Yi being so ambiguous together, they became more angry and vented their anger on Bai Yi.
In just a day, the fans that Bai Yi had painstakingly acc.u.mulated previously had dropped by 300,000 to 400,000. Among them, Zhanrong’s female fans had contributed greatly.
Many marketing accounts moved when they heard the news. As soon as they smelled the gossip, they would write an eye-catching article and post it, regardless of whether it was nonsense or not. They would openly ride on the popularity.
The situation was serious. There were even some extreme people who found Bai Yi and sent her private messages with a lot of ugly words. It could be said to be an Internet riot.
It was also because of this that the production team was also affected and “visited” by many fanatical fans. They were forced to stop work for a few days.
“Most comments on the account now are attacking Bai Yi, as well as some voices complaining on Shang Rou’s behalf. They say that Shang Rou is more suitable for the female lead. From the rhythm, it’s obvious that someone is controlling the situation.”
Jiang Chi summarized in an orderly manner.
Murong Qiao sat behind her desk and listened to Jiang Chi’s words. Her gaze landed on the latest message from Liu Cheng on the screen.
[Shang Rou went on strike and said that she was sick.]
The sickness was fake. But the reality that she wanted to become the female lead with this momentum was true.
In any case, the atmosphere was pretty much set. Shang Rou didn’t even want to go to the production team anymore and directly put on airs.
In fact, after taking leave, she even posted on her account that she had a low fever because of filming and was recuperating at home.
She even started a live-stream at the last minute. Her face was red as she lay on the sofa and interacted with her fans with a smile, reaping a wave of favorable impression from the fans who felt sorry for her.
Below the post, a large group of fans’ hearts ached for her. It was as if Shang Rou was working very hard.
As for the video of Bai Yi and Zhanrong, it was still trending on the Internet. If one was deleted, another would be uploaded. It was as if the other party had endless patience and would only stop after killing Bai Yi.
Murong Qiao sighed deeply. “It’s so troublesome.”
What she hated the most was trouble. Unfortunately, when it came to the entertainment industry, there seemed to be endless troublesome matters.
“Copy the surveillance footage of the company’s audition and send it to Liu Cheng, as well as…” Murong Qiao instructed.
Naturally, she was not prepared to replace Bai Yi. However, Shang Rou was already dancing in front of her. Murong Qiao might as well take advantage of the rising popularity on the Internet to kick Shang Rou out.
After speaking to Jiang Chi, Murong Qiao called Liu Cheng and explained the situation and decision. The two of them came to an agreement.
This matter had been going on for three days. It was time for there to be an outcome.
The production team finally released the first post in three days.
[After discussion, we have decided to respond to the matter of the female lead, Bai Yi… Also, we have decided to change the actress, Shang Rou.]
There was a link following the post. As long as one clicked on it, they would be able to see the surveillance video of the day of the character audition. The clip was Bai Yi’s audition. The source was indicated, and the watermark was clear.
Of course, Liu Cheng did not forget to include Shang Rou’s “performance” in the production team during this period of time. After Bai Yi’s audition tape, she also added a segment of Shang Rou’s att.i.tude in the production team, as well as some scenes that did not involve spoilers.
After all, she had to let everyone see why Shang Rou had been replaced. She also had to let everyone see what the person they liked usually looked like on the production team.
“The entire world is celebrating. The officials finally know to change the female lead—Wait, Shang Rou???”
“I thought I was blind. Although I know that Shang Rou is usually quite arrogant, the video shows her being so perfunctory. If I were the director, my blood pressure would have long risen…”
“Didn’t anyone notice that Bai Yi’s acting skills are actually quite good like mine?”
“I’m already starting to regret my words two days ago about recommending Shang Rou as the female lead. I suddenly realized that Bai Yi is actually quite good…”
When everyone clicked in, they were all prepared to cheer. In the end, when they took a closer look, they realized that the person who had been changed was not Bai Yi, but Shang Rou. They were all confused.
After watching the video, they became even more silent.
As long as one had eyes, normal values, and rationality, they would discover why Shang Rou had been replaced after watching the video.
As for the video of Zhanrong and Bai Yi, the officials also posted another clarification, saying that Zhanrong was only guiding Bai Yi to act. The actual footage of the two of them was not ambiguous at all. It could even make people feel that Bai Yi was very motivated.
Therefore, other than a few fanatical fans of Shang Rou who were still barking, the comments below the post could be said to be harmonious.
There were even people who moved to Shang Rou’s post of her illness to attack her.
“You’ve been fis.h.i.+ng for three days and drying your net for two days. Could this be the reason why you’re sick? Your acting skills are off the charts when you blush like that on the live-stream. It’s indeed lowering your standards to ask you to act as the supporting actress.”
“If I were Liu Cheng, I would have kicked her out long ago. To be able to endure until now, he’s already a saint.”
“After watching the video, I just want to say that Bai Yi is very good. Shang Rou is really not worthy.”
“+1, she’s been acting in idol dramas ever since she debuted. It’s fine that she’s so eye-catching, but it’s better not to let such a person touch the books of Moon G.o.ddess. It’s so disgusting to us, book fans. By the way, when I was reading previously, I quite liked the villain character.”
Whether it was sarcasm or aggressiveness, the netizens’ abilities never disappointed.
Murong Qiao took the time to scroll through her cell phone. Without specifically searching, she saw many people talking about Shang Rou. Some of the people who were deceived even brought along the post where Shang Rou was sick and mocked her.
However, when they clicked on it to take a look, they realized that Shang Rou’s previous post of pretending to be sick had been deleted. They couldn’t even find it from the search tab.
It was probably because she felt guilty from the scoldings and deleted it herself. Now, there was no movement, as if she’s pretending to be dead. She let everyone bombard her account and question her.
Shang Rou didn’t expect the production team to release a dynamic clarification without any warning.
She didn’t even consider the possibility that the other party would expose her.
Shang Rou had the backing of a large company and had been popular until now. She only felt that she could easily suppress the female lead with a little pressure, but she didn’t expect the production team to go against her for a small artiste like Bai Yi.
Her beautiful nails dug into the flesh of her palms as she clenched her fists. Shang Rou, who had always been smug, also had a rare ugly expression on her face. Her tone with her manager was mixed with anger.
“There’s still a way to redeem it with an apology now,” the manager persuaded her.
As long as they showed some sincerity and made an apology to the production team, there was still room for redemption.
But Shang Rou was stubborn.. “I only want the female lead role!”
