Chapter 165: The Fragrance of Tea
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This was because after the official studio revealed that Moon Goddess was Murong Qiao, it caused a bunch of netizens to be dissatisfied.
“I really don’t understand why they bother with casting for the male lead when it’s already predetermined. It’s obvious that they’re just trying to boost Xianyu’s image.”
“Can’t some people stop being so negative? Moon Goddess clearly stated from the beginning that Xian Yu is the prototype for the male lead. This book was tailor-made for him, so what else is there to discuss?”
“Can it be said like that? Since they’ve already decided that Xian Yu is the only option for the male lead, why did the production team still let other people audition for the role? Isn’t this clearly playing with people?”
There were various opinions on the Internet, and there were good and bad comments.
Xu Qinsang had always been very concerned about the male lead of “Fearless”.
At that time, he was very confident in landing the role, but he failed. It also became a sore topic for him. He didn’t expect this matter to be dug out again today.
“I thought that with Xu Qinsang’s acting skills, there’s no way he wouldn’t be able to get the position of the male lead. So it turns out that it’d been reserved for someone else long ago.”
“The back door was opened for Xian Yu from the start. Our poor Big Brother was happy for nothing. I’m so angry!”
Today, many such comments were posted to Xu Qinsang’s Weibo account. Most of them were helping him complain about the injustice.
Xu Qinsang stared at Weibo with a heavy expression as he held his cell phone, his knuckles turning white.
He had worked so hard for the male lead role, but it was all for Xian Yu.
He was indignant!
“In the end, hard work can’t win against prearrangement.”
Xu Qinsang posted on Weibo and it quickly attracted attention.
“That’s right. No matter how hard some people work, they can’t win against the single sentence of the author.”
“In my opinion, Xian Yu and his Little Sister did it on purpose. It’s a waste of effort to stage an audition. What’s the difference between the people who worked hard for the role and a clown?”
“To think that I liked “Fearless” so much previously. Now, it seems that it’s all shady. I’m no longer a fan.”
“At the thought that 1 thought that Big Brother could definitely become the male lead, I even pulled in many friends and relatives to wait for “Fearless” to start broadcasting. Now that I think about it, I’ve also been used…”
Following Xu Qinsang’s words, many fans stood on his side and felt that it was unfair for their Big Brother.
The word “Clown” deeply pierced Xu Qinsang’s heart, causing his already surging hatred to almost drown him.
He felt that his acting skills were not bad, but he never understood how he was inferior to Xian Yu. He didn’t expect to solve his doubts today.
His resentful heart pushed Xu Qinsang to pick up his phone and send a message.
[Buy a trending search.]
If he can’t have a good life, Xian Yu could also forget about having a good life.
Following Xu Qinsang’s Weibo post, the fans and passers-by immediately assumed that the production team had held the audition to ride on the popularity and publicity of the stars interested in the role.
“Ignore them.” Murong Qiao scrolled through the tablet and naturally saw this Weibo post.
They were just some clowns. Murong Qiao couldn’t be bothered with them.
Jiang Chi nodded. “Understood. 1’11 inform you immediately if anything happens.”
The comments online did not affect Murong Qiao’s normal life at all, but some people couldn’t stand it anymore.
“Remove the trending searches,” Huo Yichen ordered coldly.
His expression was cold, and the words he uttered were like ice shards, making the assistant’s heart tremble and he felt a chill run down his spine.
The assistant stood there without even daring to look at Huo Yichen. This was the first time he had seen the Young Master so angry.
“Yes,” the assistant replied and hurriedly went to do as instructed.
Huo Yichen looked at the comments online, especially those saying horrible things about Murong Qiao, and he couldn’t control the anger in his heart.
He would not allow anyone to insult Murong Qiao, not even to say anything bad about her.
Seeing that the matter of the male lead being chosen by the production team had become a trending topic, Xu Qinsang looked at the new comments without blinking and was very excited.
That’s right everyone, scold Xian Yu!
Seeing the netizens criticizing Xian Yu, Xu Qinsang couldn’t help but feel happy.
“It’s just a predetermined thing…” The smile on his face widened before it instantly stiffened.
Wait, where was the trending topic?
Xu Qinsang looked at the blank Weibo post and hurriedly refreshed it. He realized that the trending topic he had just bought had disappeared!
What happened?
He hurriedly contacted the person who bought the trending topic.
[It’s probably been removed by someone.] The other party replied.
Removed… Someone was going against him?
The first person Xu Qinsang thought of was Murong Qiao.
Other than Murong Qiao, who else would do such a thing? Perhaps it’s Xian Yu himself!
[Then buy it again!] Xu Qinsang was so angry that he couldn’t care less and sent another message to the person who bought the trending topic.
He gritted his teeth and transferred a sum of money to that person, letting him continue to be on the trending searches.
Other celebrities with similar mentalities as Xu Qinsang also voiced their grievances.
Xian Yu’s manager also noticed this and immediately informed him.
“You’re done?” Xian Yu’s manager asked as he watched him grit his teeth and stare at the computer.
Xian Yu nodded with a cold expression, clearly angry. “I’ll call the production team.”
He had been a celebrity for so long and was already used to being criticized by the netizens, so he didn’t care about this. However, when he saw those people talking about his Little Sister, Xian Yu immediately felt extremely uncomfortable.
They could criticize him, but not his Little Sister!
Liu Cheng received Xian Yu’s call and knew why he was calling. “Alright, 1’11 make a statement now.”
Liu Cheng also knew a little about the discussions online, but seeing that the netizens were clinging to the issue regarding the male lead, Liu Cheng felt that this matter was easy to resolve.
He didn’t know where they heard the rumors from, but this topic kept bouncing around on Weibo, despite the fact that it was already stated in the contract that Xian Yu would be the male lead.
[Regarding the recent rumors about Xian Yu going through the back door to take the role of the male lead, I’m here to clarify that the condition of the choice of actor for the male lead role was signed into the contract from the beginning, so there was no public audition for the male lead role at all. The discussion online about the public audition of the male lead role is just a rumor.]
In short, they were all rumors.
There was no such thing as an audition for the male lead role to begin with, so the netizens had made it up.
When the netizens saw the statement released by the production team, they fell silent.
“I’m speechless. So, all my previous words were just like empty talk, and I was used as a tool.”
“It should be. I checked the production team’s movements back then. They really didn’t say anything about a public audition for the male lead role. Instead, they held a public audition for the female lead.”
“In the end, it was all fabricated???”
“Previously, Xu Qinsang even said that he felt aggrieved. From the looks of it, he was just thinking too much. They didn’t even hold an audition to choose the male lead. What hard work is he talking about?”
Since the production team had already spoken, it was enough to prove the authenticity of this matter.
The more fiercely the netizens scolded previously, the more their faces hurt now.
As for the celebrities and actors who followed suit and complained about their grievances, they hurriedly took advantage of the chaos and deleted their Weibo posts.
With the rumors clarified, those who joined in the fun kept their tails between their legs and didn’t dare to talk anymore.
“A bunch of trash!” Xu Qinsang swept everything on the table to the ground, his eyes terrifyingly red.
The things fell to the ground, and the crackling sound made him even more frustrated.
As soon as he bought the trending searches, someone removed it, as if they were going against him!
After Xu Qinsang bought it a few times, he realized that the other party didn’t seem to be short of money at all. He could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.
“Count yourself lucky, Xian Yu—” Xu Qinsang growled with gnashed teeth.
He had nowhere to vent his anger and was extremely aggrieved, but he couldn’t do anything to Xian Yu. He could only smash everything he could to vent the anger in his heart..
