In the local entertainment industry, it had been all the rage to adapt novels into dramas recently. “Song of Youth” was also based on a renowned novel. The novel had a lot of fans, so it garnered a lot of attention when filming started.
A major scoop exploded online.
[I am sure a lot of the novel fans adore the love between Lin Shan and Zheng Lan from “Song of Youth”, so all of you hope that the dramatized version will do the original novel justice. From the looks of it now, you are going to get sorely disappointed.]
[According to reliable sources, Mu Sheng keeps asking for more parts. Now, she is as good as the female lead. Just take a look at the filming schedule. Filming has menced for three days, but Mu Sheng filmed for two days. Ruan Yingying is the female lead, but she didn’t film as much.]
The filming schedule was attached along with the post and Mu Sheng genuinely did more filming than Ruan Yingying.
!!
This hit a sore spot among the fans of the original novel.
The fans were already displeased when they heard about the drama adaptation. Now, the supporting female lead had so many parts that she surpassed the female lead! They could not take it lying down!
[Stop giving her more parts! How could you? You should ensure that the drama sticks to the book!]
[Mu Sheng, when will you stop making trouble? This is too much! Do you think your father owns the filming crew? I am so mad. If Mu Sheng doesn’t get kicked off the drama, there is no way I will watch it.]
[I am strongly against extra parts for her. Ruan Yingying is the real female lead. Change it back!]
Meanwhile, a lot of people flooded Mu Sheng’s social media home page. There were now almost 20,000 posts cursing her.
Just as everyone cursed Mu Sheng, another paid social media account posted yet another scoop.
[I feel so bad for the original fans of the novel. Look at Mu Sheng’s costume photos. This is unbelievable. How could you watch someone like her act in the drama? You guys have my sympathy.]
Nine pictures came acpanied by the post.
Inside the pictures, Mu Sheng had smokey makeup and thick eyeliner on her face, and blusher was applied almost on her entire face. From the side, she looked like a coloring palette. Her makeup was so terribly done that people had trouble looking at it.
[Oh god. I want to charge over to the film location with a sword now. What the hell is this? Is she the Loch Ness monster or something?]
[This is simply infuriating! Kick Mu Sheng off the drama now! Right now!]
[Mu Sheng, leave the entertainment industry this instant. I can’t accept all the extra scenes she has manipulated the director into giving her. If the production team doesn’t respect our opinion, you are on your own when the show has bad ratings. We will not help you to promote the drama and will even bee anti-fans. You should really think before you act.]
Meanwhile, it was almost time to knock off at the film location. Ruan Yingying and Mu Sheng had also finished filming their parts.
The director was about to get up and talk to Mu Sheng about her parts when a film crew suddenly came over to him.
The director got annoyed when he saw the news. “What on earth are they saying? Tell marketing to post an announcement on our official social media account!”
“Okay.” The film crew nodded before turning to get it done. A few men dressed in suits came over from nearby. “Director Yang, do you have time to talk?”
“Sure.” Director Yang recognized these visitors. They were investors of the drama. In industry lingo, they were their rich daddies, so he had to entertain them well.
Ruan Yingying watched as Director Yang walked off with the investors and an evil look swept through her eyes. She smiled and walked over to Mu Sheng. “Sheng, shall we have dinner?”
Mu Sheng looked up slightly with a cold look in her eyes. “I recall telling you not to get chummy with me.”
The rest of the film crew had already started to leave one after another. Ruan Yingying looked at Mu Sheng’s flawless face and could no longer contain her jealousy. “Mu Sheng, let’s see how long you can continue acting arrogantly for.”
Mu Sheng smiled coldly. “Be my guest.”
The moment Mu Sheng finished her sentence, she turned to leave as Ruan Yingying watched furiously.
