Before the live stream started, the director had already tacitly assumed that Xia Chuyue would be trending on social media for negative reasons.
Their show has such poor exposure. They've tried everything – piggybacking on viewership, creating on-screen couples, buying trending topics – but it just won't get any buzz.
The director was so anxious that he had to look for solutions elsewhere.
But who would have thought that the expected trending topic of "Xia Chuyue" (a popular drama series) didn't go viral, and instead the male and female leads in the drama started fighting?
The director was standing outside the live broadcast camera at the time, so he naturally heard Xia Chuyue's thoughts.
However, the live broadcast had already started, and he couldn't stop it. Moreover, Zhou Hao was the male lead he had chosen. If something really happened, the show would have no hope of ever getting off the ground!
The most urgent thing is to shift the blame onto Xia Chuyue!
Anyway, she's covered in stains, like being arrogant, bad-tempered, bullying newcomers, and being kept by a sugar daddy. Adding another mistress to the main couple's relationship wouldn't be a problem at all!
The matter is only just beginning to unfold. The female lead, Lin Xinran, is still gathering evidence and hasn't completely destroyed Zhou Hao yet, so there's still hope for redemption!
The director glanced at the actors who had come with him, touched the top of his head where he was almost bald, his eyes sharp, and began to reprimand them:
"Xia Chuyue, I really misjudged you! How could you treat Xinran like this?"
These words immediately bring to mind the incident where Lin Xinran, the female lead, lost her temper during a live stream.
We're all just ordinary working people in the entertainment industry, and we've all heard a lot of gossip about Xia Chuyue, both true and false.
Xia Chuyue became an instant sensation upon her debut, solely based on her beautiful face.
But the agency only sees her as a cash cow and doesn't plan her future career at all. They just want Xia Chuyue to have more exposure, regardless of whether she's famous or not!
The entertainment industry is only so big, and Xia Chuyue is so beautiful that she has blocked the path of many celebrities, both openly and secretly.
In addition, she doesn't accept any unspoken rules from other celebrities or sponsors, and when she gets stubborn, she can say a few sarcastic things, so negative rumors started to flood in.
Over the years, Xia Chuyue has become accustomed to being slandered, and when faced with the director's accusations, she speaks calmly and deliberately.
"You mean I interfered in the relationship between Zhou Hao and Lin Xinran?"
The director didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of condemnation, conveying that was the meaning.
Xia Chuyue glanced at the other person with her beautiful eyes and snorted coldly:
"Bullshit!"
The director had rarely heard such blatant profanity and was stunned on the spot.
"You...how could you..."
"What's wrong with me?"
Xia Chuyue retorted without any politeness, her beautiful eyes cold.
At the same time, she had already opened the search box with her mind and clicked on the director's gossip.
[Come on, you're backing Zhou Hao up, huh? Let me see what kind of shady gossip you're hiding!]
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the celebrities present who could hear Xia Chuyue's thoughts lit up, and they let out a shout in their hearts, instantly leaping forward a few steps.
New gossip! New gossip!
One or two minor celebrities from the neighboring live stream missed the live gossip about Zhou Hao, only hearing a brief summary from the host. Now that they've caught up on the director's gossip, it's not a bad deal!
Amidst everyone's anticipation, Xia Chuyue's innermost thoughts rang out:
[Oh, so you're quite the player too! No wonder you immediately cast Zhou Hao as the male lead; it's like attracts like!]
The group exchanged glances, their expressions revealing a hint of excitement.
Reading other people's gossip is so exciting!
Everyone temporarily suppressed their desire to find out why they could hear Xia Chuyue's thoughts and became completely absorbed in gossip.
The director naturally heard Xia Chuyue's thoughts as well. His face turned ashen, and he was about to yell at her to interrupt her when he was suddenly stopped.
An actress passing by noticed the director's actions, raised an eyebrow, and had her assistant secretly press down on the director's shoulder to give him a warning.
Among all the celebrities present, she, as a talented actress who debuted early, naturally held the highest position.
As soon as she made a move, everyone else on the director's side cowered like quails, not daring to make a single move.
The veteran actress did not express any contempt or disdain for Xia Chuyue, a celebrity known for her scandals in the entertainment industry. She simply controlled the chaotic scene, giving Xia Chuyue more space to watch the drama unfold.
She's managed to go so far in the entertainment industry; she couldn't have only considered superficial things. She thinks about things more deeply and in more complex ways.
Why can Xia Chuyue see other people's gossip? Does she have any special abilities?
And why is it that others can hear your inner thoughts?
It seems that only people in the entertainment industry can hear this right now, so why is that?
The actress's eyes flickered, but she remained still, waiting for Xia Chuyue's gossip to continue.
[Wow, the director looks so handsome with thick eyebrows and big eyes, turns out he likes to be an emperor at home!]
[This is an emperor in the literal sense! His wife is an honest outsider who has been completely manipulated by him over the years. When she gets home, she has to kneel on the floor and serve him his shoes, as the director demands! Besides serving him tea and water, she also has to call him "Your Majesty!"]
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped, a hint of disdain flashing in their eyes.
The veteran actress also showed a hint of disgust in her eyes, and took two steps away from the director, as if afraid of getting tainted by his filth.
The key point is that this person genuinely believes he's an emperor, ruling the roost at home, keeping a bunch of mistresses, and playing the palace game of choosing whichever mistress he picks to serve him and sleep with.
Now, everyone's gazes were even more contemptuous.
You should know that this director's public persona is that of a devoted husband who loves and protects his wife!
The director made headlines several times back then because he married his poor first wife.
The director confidently stated this in an interview at the time:
"Meeting her in this lifetime is the greatest luck I've ever had. So what if her family isn't well-off? Love can't be measured by material things! I will treat her well for the rest of my life and give her enough security!"
When these words were spoken, not only the director's newlywed wife, but also the audience were moved to tears!
After that, the director attracted a lot of investment for romance dramas, and two of them became hits.
Viewers even felt that a romance drama made by a director who is so consistent in his love story must be particularly realistic and entertaining!
But now... after hearing Xia Chuyue's heartfelt words, everyone felt that the director's image of deep affection had been shattered into pieces!
