As the press conference took place, Mu Yan’s confirmation to star in Chen Zhou’s new film, "The Most Beautiful Ti," spread all over the internet.
Her fans were naturally delighted, as just last year Mu Yan was rely playing a supporting role in Chen Zhou’s crew, and now she could lead as the female protagonist, clearly showing her progress over the year.
Mu Yan’s Weibo was flooded with congratulatory ssages, and many started to anticipate her winning a Best Actress award through this film.
But her short ti in the industry, coupled with her rapid career rise, provided critics with excuses to attack her.
"From a supporting role to leading role in just a year, isn’t soone climbing up a bit too quickly?"
"No doubt it’s another bed deal. This patron is really sothing, inviting both Chen Zhou and Li Yushen to promote her."
"So people’s brain-dead fans are getting cocky. Although ’Lone Eagle’s’ box office was high, your idol, despite being the female lead, only had a few minutes of screen ti. The high box office is barely related to her; does she even have a clue about her own worth?"
"I used to think Chen Zhou was the only director who favored skill over looks. Now it seems money talks, not just humans."
...
Mu Yan knew she had many haters, but she didn’t take them seriously.
However, what she didn’t expect was that sohow this incident dragged in Xiang Lanqiu, with rumors alleging she stole the role originally ant for Xiang Lanqiu.
Initially, these voices were few, but once Xiang Lanqiu’s fans got involved, things blew up.
Xiangu Lanqiu’s coback resources were already quite average, and fans worried she couldn’t regain her past glory. Recently, they even lashed out at her managent company for not being proactive.
Signing an idol yet not giving her the best resources, what’s the deal? Does Best Actress Xiang Lanqiu lack fan appeal?
Upon hearing that Mu Yan stole their idol’s resource, their anger imdiately ignited.
What’s wrong with this Mu Yan? Isn’t she Qiuqiu’s junior? How dare she snatch Qiuqiu’s resources; has she forgotten how Qiuqiu supported her when she debuted?
Does she not know how much Qiuqiu needs good resources?
How quickly she becos ungrateful! Is she even human?
Xiang Lanqiu’s fan army rushed to Mu Yan’s Weibo, cursing her thoroughly, even extending to her ancestors.
Mu Yan’s fans retaliated in the sa manner, unwilling to back down.
With each having tens of millions of followers on Weibo, this verbal dispute was extraordinarily fierce, with neither side yielding.
Xiang Lanqiu posted on Weibo, denying Mu Yan stole any resources, but fans interpreted this as her trying to keep peace, while Mu Yan’s silence was taken as guilt, intensifying the dispute.
It’s not that Mu Yan didn’t want to post on Weibo, but her words might be unpleasant; she couldn’t very well say the role was originally hers, and that it was Xiang Lanqiu who tried to steal it.
But to her surprise, shortly after, news broke of Xiang Lanqiu attempting to snatch the role at Chen Zhou’s house, with details of ti, place, and people vividly described.
Then all of Xiang Lanqiu’s struggles since her coback were dug up, highlighting the importance of the female lead role in Chen Zhou’s new film, making it plausible she’d fight for roles to get popular again.
Of course, the focus was on who leaked this information. The bla imdiately pointed at Mu Yan since she had the greatest conflict with Xiang Lanqiu in this matter.
Labels like plastic sisterhood and profit-driven interests were suddenly pinned on her.
Mu Yan looked at the online slurs, feeling bewildered; what did they have to do with her?
Yet, that night, she received a call from Xiang Lanqiu, who said, "You win."
