However, Xi Rubao's fans are truly formidable. They believe that unless Xi Rubao speaks out, they will not simply listen to the statements from Xu Yanyu and the production team.
The two sides then engaged in a war of words on the Weibo accounts of Xi Rubao and Xu Yanyu.
Xi Rubao's fans criticized Xu Yanyu for her poor acting skills and said she shouldn't have come out and embarrassed herself.
Xu Yanyu then criticized Xi Rubao, saying that he was a bad person and unworthy of being an idol.
The back-and-forth tug-of-war between the two sides quickly escalated to trending topics on Weibo.
In the end, the hashtag "[Xu Yanyu can't get good movie roles, so she can only act in bad movies and take on bad roles]" was trending on social media.
After seeing this, Xu Yanyu's fans also spent their own money to buy trending topics.
The argument between the two sides escalated and seemed to have no end in sight.
The fans on both sides were arguing, but the one who was hurt the most was neither Xu Yanyu nor Xi Rubao.
It was Director Wei.
Aside from being busy filming, Director Wei has been keeping a close eye on how this matter is developing.
He had just finished directing the two lead actors to reshoot a scene when he asked the previous staff how things were progressing.
The staff member first showed the content they had edited to Director Wei.
Director Wei glanced through the content edited by the staff and nodded affirmatively, "Good, that's exactly what we need to do to explain things clearly."
How can you blame Yan Yu? It was clearly Xi Rubao's agent who said they wouldn't film it.
They even had to pay compensation to terminate the contract and refused to film the movie anymore.
The staff member glanced at him and then showed him the Weibo trending topics list.
"What's so interesting about this stupid ranking? You can get on it by spending some money."
"It's either this celebrity dyed their hair red, or that female idol doesn't wipe her mouth while eating..."
Despite his complaints, Director Wei continued scrolling through the page on his tablet, exclaiming, "Wow, Yan Yu is really popular!"
Five out of ten trending topics are about her.
Everyone says she sings well, and some even say she deserved to win first place.
Luckily, I was smart enough to entrust her with the music for "Fallen Flowers"...
The staff member cautiously glanced at Director Wei again.
Sure enough, Director Wei jumped up in a rage the next second.
"What's going on? My TV series hasn't even aired yet, how did it become a bad movie? What do you mean Xu Yanyu made a bad movie..."
Director Wei angrily cursed.
If he really was just trying to make easy money by making bad movies and fooling the audience, then he would accept the criticism he receives.
But he took the filming so seriously, and yet people still say that about him.
Director Wei became increasingly angry, and then clicked on the comments of that entry.
Ignoring the comments about the arguments between Xi Rubao and Xu Yanyu's fans, some of the highly upvoted comments really angered Director Wei.
Here it comes, this is how bad movies usually start their advertising campaign.
First, create some hype to generate buzz, then use that as an opportunity to sell a poorly made film at a high price.
No wonder Xi Rubao dropped out of this TV series; it was a terrible show. Xu Yanyu is lucky to have taken on this mess.
Honestly, if Xu Yanyu had composed the music for this TV series, I might have turned on the TV just to hear the songs and contribute to the ratings.

...
The staff felt a little uneasy as they watched Director Wei's increasingly dark expression.
It's really not his fault; he couldn't control how things went.
Director Wei stood up and shouted, "What did Xi Rubao say? Hasn't she come out to clarify?"
"We have not received any clarification from Xi Rubao yet," the staff member replied, shaking their head.
"She's not going to come out and clarify, right? Then don't blame me for not giving her face."
Go find the footage of Xi Rubao's audition and the footage of Xu Yanyu's new filming, and remember to edit together the same scene into a video.
"Wait a little longer. If Xi Rubao is still being slow this afternoon, then you can send out the edited video."
Director Wei angrily instructed the staff.
Still feeling dissatisfied, he continued to curse, "Fine, I'll take this opportunity to promote myself! I really want to thank these netizens."
It's clear that even netizens are angry with Director Wei.
Meanwhile, Xi Rubao, who was on Director Wei's mind, was arguing with her agent.
"What am I clarifying? What is there for me to clarify? It's all because Xu Yanyu's acting skills are not up to par, which is why netizens are questioning her."
Xi Rubao felt nauseous whenever she thought about her agent telling her to apologize to Xu Yanyu.
She didn't do anything wrong, she just complained a little, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?
The agent looked at Xi Rubao with a headache.
Xi Rubao has always been spoiled and arrogant. Because her persona was that of a charming and innocent type, the company didn't bother to manage her too much.
But now that a real disagreement has arisen, it's really a headache.
The agent gently advised, "Okay, you did nothing wrong..."
Just tell everyone that the company felt that role wasn't suitable after considering various factors.
That's why you gave up voluntarily; it has nothing to do with Xu Yanyu.
"No, if you ask me to say that now, wouldn't I be slapping myself in the face?"
Everyone knows how much I used to like that character. Xi Rubao refused without hesitation.
The agent was furious, but didn't want to forcibly take Xi Rubao's phone away.
