Lulu's popularity soared, even surpassing Song Hansheng, who was number one in popularity. In particular, Song Hansheng was not angry after being surpassed by her, and openly gave Lulu's video a like.

After Song Hansheng was praised by netizens for his genuine personality for liking the post, almost all the actors from "The King of Acting" liked Lulu's post as well. Only Chen Chen, Fang Yaming, and Lu Yuzhi did not like it.

Fang Yaming posted on Weibo to explain for Bai Yan. Originally, netizens were telling Bai Yan to get out of the entertainment industry, and they also wanted her to get out with them.

As a participant in the production, Chen Chen explained that they did not steal the spotlight; it was Song Hanzhen's production team who changed her role at the last minute.

But the comment was quickly buried, and the audience said that she had been brainwashed by Bai Yan, otherwise why didn't Lu Yuzhi, who was in the same group, explain?

Many people tagged Lu Zhiyu again, and five minutes later, Lu Zhiyu liked both Song Hanzhen's and Lulu's videos.

...

The next day was the third public performance, and the group and partners were to be determined. Many actors wore heavy makeup today, since quite a few had stayed up late the night before.

"Does Bai Yan still dare to come today?" The familiar actors chatted among themselves.

"I definitely wouldn't dare team up with her. Only twenty people will advance this round, and with so many haters on her now, her audience popularity has dropped by half. Besides, Lulu said she'd quit if she advanced. With her popularity, how could the production team let her go?"

"I won't team up with her either."

"I don't think she'll dare to come today..."

Meanwhile, Bai Yan, whom everyone was talking about, was knocking on Chen Chen's door. After knocking for a long time, the little girl finally opened the door. The little girl looked at Bai Yan with red eyes and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Bai..." They didn't believe what she said.

"Let's go to the studio."

Chen Chen was afraid: "They're all cursing you."

Bai Yan's gaze fell on the little girl's pale face, and she chuckled, "Don't be afraid, hold my hand." She was never afraid of being scolded; there were many people who scolded her and many who hated her, but all she had to do was win.

Inside the studio, Bai Yan's arrival caused a stir, with almost everyone whispering among themselves. Bai Yan, seemingly oblivious, held up her script: "My script is finished. Those interested can join my group to take a look."

The hall was completely silent.

Lulu couldn't help but ask, "Bai Yan, don't you know what happened yesterday?"

Bai Yan's lips curled slightly: "Are you referring to the online insults and slander against me?"

"Let me state first that I did not approach Bo Yaodong; he approached me. Secondly, I did not steal Song Hanzhen's script; Song Hanzhen replaced my script at the last minute."

"In the end, I don't think there's anything wrong with my weight loss."

Lulu was so angry at Bai Yan that she laughed: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have said you were being stubborn. I think you're like a dead pig that's not afraid of boiling water."

"Bai Yan, you didn't get plastic surgery to thicken your skin, did you? If you still have any dignity as a girl, you should quit the show. Anyway, no one will choose to work with you."

Bai Yan looked at Lulu, then chuckled softly, "Why would I quit?"

"Only brainless people blindly follow the crowd."

She looked around and said, “I’m here today to choose my partner according to the program’s requirements and rules. If any of you trust me, you can join me and be my partner. I’m confident that I can help my group advance.”

Most people remained silent. They didn't dare to be as outspoken as Lulu and say they wanted to quit the show; they simply refused to team up with Bai Yan.

Watching this scene on the monitor, An frowned and was about to get up.

“I’ll team up with you, Xiao Yan,” Fang Yaming said.

“Me too.” Chen Chen gently tugged at Bai Yan’s sleeve.
