Chapter 112 Sister Qiao! This is the kind of PR you were talking about that's "carnivorous
Yan Zhuoyu clicked on the trending topic and began to look for the reason.
Whenever this happens, it means that a big scandal has broken out in the Chinese entertainment industry. Everyone is eager to eat the gossip, and naturally loses interest in the usual daily lives of celebrities.
The top trending topic is "Shan Meishuang Heavy Sword".
Following closely behind was a familiar name.
Zhu Xinian deleted his blog post.
Yan Zhuoyu felt a strong urge to join in. No wonder her topic of "Sword Chant" didn't get much attention; the other two had stolen the spotlight.
After she finished speaking with Zhu Xinian at the banquet that day, she did not see him in the inner hall. He has been out of contact for the past few days and has been much more well-behaved than before.
Thinking of this, Yan Zhuoyu first clicked on Zhu Xinian's trending topic.
Zhu Xinian's Weibo homepage is very clean. All the sarcastic comments from before have been deleted, leaving only a few advertisements and promotional videos. The video of him riding a horse on the grassland is pinned to the top of the homepage, and the comment section is getting hundreds of new comments almost every second.
[Huh? I woke up to find out about the internet cleanup campaign? This woman used to have over a thousand Weibo posts, how come there are only five hundred left?]
[Deleted the post? Is he planning to start anew, or did he offend some powerful figure and fear legal repercussions?]
[Hahaha, this perfectly describes how I frantically delete non-mainstream comments.]
[My poor little fairy! Does anyone know what happened? We brothers are here to support you!]
Haven't you noticed that Zhu Xinian is still unfollowing male actors like crazy...?
……
As luck would have it, when Yan Zhuoyu refreshed the page, Zhu Xinian's IP address jumped from Yuncheng to Jingbei, and a new statement appeared on the homepage.
[Zhu Xinian: I apologize for taking up public resources. Thank you for your concern. My Weibo account has been recovered; it was previously hacked.]
Although male fans don't usually pay much attention to Zhu Xinian's activities and schedules, this matter has already become a trending topic, and sharp-eyed netizens have already discovered the blind spot.
[Zhu Xinian is currently filming in Yuncheng. The IP address he used when deleting the post was correct. This sudden shift to Beijing is suspicious...]
"This operation looks so familiar..."
Yan Zhuoyu stroked her chin, lazily lay on the rocking chair, and swayed back and forth as she scrolled through the comments section.
Isn't this just like when she was falsely accused of malicious assault and the company forcibly took control of her account?
After learning about Zhu Xinian's situation, she went to see Shan Meishuang.
It's a video of fans encountering Shan Meishuang practicing épée.
[Little Plum Blossom Cake: I ran into Meimei! She was practicing her épée diligently in preparation for her new film! So cool! I didn't expect Meimei's arms to be so thin, yet she wields the épée with such skill. She perfectly embodies the aura of a daughter of a military family. Hehe, Meimei is so reserved, unlike others who are so ostentatious. She quietly works hard every day behind the scenes~ [Video]]
The timing of the video's release was subtle, exactly one minute later than Yan Zhuoyu's post, as if it had been watching her every move.
Yan Zhuoyu felt something was off about the video: "The camera is practically shoving into someone's face, how could it possibly have been accidentally filmed by a fan?"
The camera work and the background music are clearly the work of a professional team.
The comment section was even more "organized and disciplined".
[Meimei is so cool! So dashing and heroic, she has the air of a chivalrous woman!]
[Seriously? Aren't these things actors are supposed to do? Instead, some people can shoot a whole series of amazing photos just by riding a horse. Are they actors or models?]
[My heart aches for Meimei. I can see the blisters on her hands. Hugs to Meimei.]
[She's so beautiful, I'm completely smitten!]
[The person upstairs might not dare to speak up, but I will: it's just Zhu Moumou and Yan Moumou, hahaha, lacking real talent, they can only resort to empty rhetoric, spending their days chasing after empty titles.]
[I laughed so hard. She wanted to ride the coattails of a wealthy family scandal, but she was completely ignored at the banquet. I felt so embarrassed for her, hahaha.]
……
Yan Zhuoyu wore an expression like an 'old person on the subway looking at their phone,' and moved her phone further away as if there was something dirty on it.
"I didn't offend her, did I...?"
But soon, Yan Zhuoyu laughed again: "Tsk, treating me as a competitor is equivalent to affirming my acting skills. In the past, who would care about a little actress like me who couldn't even play a silly and innocent character well?"
The video will automatically replay after it has finished playing once.
Yan Zhuoyu looked at it and found it increasingly strange: "This sword must weigh at least four pounds, but when she swings it, it's like a bubble, with no momentum or sway at all."
Saying "four pounds" might not give you a sense of the weight, but to put it another way, imagine a girl with very thin arms carrying a gaming laptop in one hand and wielding it with great force—it would seem rather incongruous.
She forwarded the video to Qiao Xinyun.
Qiao Xinyun replied almost instantly: "I was just about to tell you about this, don't comment with your main account!"
Yan Zhuoyu: "...Sister Qiao, I've grown up. Even if I want to comment, I'll switch to my alternate account first."
A confident voice came from Qiao Xinyun's end, brimming with pride in the new PR team: "Don't worry, she's using your tactic to gain favor, but the company's new PR team isn't going to take that lying down. Just you wait and see, I'll burst that fake bubble on her hand!"
Yan Zhuoyu was intimidated by her imposing presence and waited patiently.
The butler, seeing that it was almost time, inquired about the dinner arrangements: "Madam, the master will be home around 5:30. What would you like to eat tonight? I will tell the kitchen to prepare."
Yan Zhuoyu thought to herself, "I haven't had spicy food in a long time, and I'm craving hot pot."
"Please prepare a small hot pot for me, and for my husband, just make something light and simple."
She remembered that Pei Weijin didn't like spicy food. Humph, what a jerk.
The housekeeper left as instructed, and Yan Zhuoyu picked up her phone again, with notifications constantly popping up in the notification bar.
She exclaimed, "Sister Qiao is quite efficient."
[I liked your Weibo post, "It's going to rain today and tomorrow"]
[Ignoring romance commented on your Weibo post]
……
But her smile froze when she saw the contents.
[Can't these "resource-backed" actors just start their own production crew and take on all the roles in a single series?]
[Hilarious! No wonder Shan Meishuang was so quiet about the audition; turns out she'd already been cast.]
[Tsk, it's good to have a powerful backer. A screenwriter friend and an artist under the director's company—the auditions were just a formality. We, the audience, were just being played, hehe.]
My phone vibrated; a new notification popped up again.
The topic of Yan Zhuoyu being a "resource-backed" celebrity quickly rose to the top, replacing Shan Meishuang's popularity.
Yan Zhuoyu gritted her teeth and dialed Qiao Xinyun's number, forcing a smile: "Sister Qiao! This is the PR person you were talking about who eats meat!"
