After an extreme and brief shock, Mimi and others finally realized that they had been plotted against by Strawberry TV.
It was only then that they figured out why the five stars from the first episode were replaced by them, and why the third episode had to be broadcast live instead of recorded. Because in a live broadcast, everything they said could be heard instantly by everyone in the audience, making editing impossible.
This is the shocking reversal the director mentioned. The internet celebrity Zhuang Li, disguised as a wealthy second-generation, is actually the newly crowned Asia's richest man, Mr. Zhuang. This news is truly terrifying!
This identity is enough to shut up all those who criticize, abuse and attack him.
No one knows how much assets Mr. Zhuang owns, but he has indeed acquired shares in major groups such as Strawberry TV, Banana TV, and Fei Fei Cinemas.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is capable of controlling the success or failure of any star in the entertainment industry.
Mimi's forehead was covered in a layer of cold sweat. The other four stars were also panicked, their hands and feet weak.
Some of their agents were at the live broadcast site, while others were busy outside, but the first reaction they all had when they received the news was to stop recording!
They couldn't stand such an obvious plot! The production team knew Mr. Zhuang's identity, so why didn't they warn him beforehand? Just one word from you, and would Mimi and the others have to offend so much on the show?
Mimi’s manager was the first to raise his hand and yell, “We’re not recording!”
Mimi's back slumped, and she felt as if she couldn't bear the weight. She completely forgot that the camera was still on and the audience could see her reaction.
But in fact, the audience didn't have time to watch her. Everyone was asking each other about Zhuang Li's news, and then frantically digging out every detail from previous programs that might expose Zhuang Li's true identity.
As soon as Mimi's agent shouted, the agents of the other four stars also protested, saying that they would rather cancel the contract and pay compensation than record the film.
The assistant director wasn't nervous at all. He calmly asked, "Think carefully. This program was funded by Mr. Zhuang. If you don't record it, you'll offend not only our TV station, but also Mr. Zhuang himself. He'll have Lawyer Ou come and discuss compensation for the losses incurred."
Five agents: “…” Damn, this show has to be recorded!
Mimi's back slumped even more after hearing the assistant director's words. She slumped down in her chair.
The other four stars' makeup was also wet by the cold sweat that kept pouring down.
Fang Yuwu and Liao Yuan were fine; they said nothing, just laughing and joking the entire time. The most enthusiastic commentators were Luo Jie, Ma Hui, and Mimi. They quickly recalled what they had said, their throats itching and they almost wanted to spit out blood.
Ma Hui: I said Mr. Zhuang is showing off? Why the hell do I like showing off so much?
At this moment, she really wanted to slap herself hard in the face.
Roger: I think I said Mr. Zhuang was abandoned because of his bad behavior? Will I be abandoned by the agency?
Mimi: “…”
She had so many things to say. She called him a relationship cheater, greedy and selfish, disgusting and unworthy. At the beginning of the show, she bluntly declared that she would have boycotted the show if Zhuang Li were still around. Near the end of the show, she urged viewers to boycott Zhuang Li and Xi Ming's marriage, claiming Xi Ming had been tricked into marriage by an internet celebrity.
Oh yes, under her instigation, this topic seems to have become a hot topic?
Mimi: “!!!”
She quickly picked up her phone and checked Weibo, only to find that the trending search for Xi Ming being cheated into marriage was still at number one! However, the news that Zhuang Li was Mr. Zhuang was also trending, pushing up the list.
At this moment, Mimi was so exhausted she wanted to cry. After saying so many suicidal things, she didn't know how to save herself. She couldn't stop recording, as this was simply leaving her no chance of survival!
So, God is watching what you do. As arrogant and proud as she was when she left Strawberry TV, she is now as embarrassed and fearful.
In panic, she sent a text message asking for help to her sponsor in front of the camera.
The other four stars also used their mobile phones to desperately try to find connections and smooth relationships.
The financier seemed frightened by Zhuang Li's true identity and replied almost instantly: "Are you crazy? You want me to compete with the richest man in Asia? My assets are not even a fraction of his! You have to solve this problem yourself. I can't save you!"
Mimi's eyes welled up when she saw the message. She felt scared and helpless, as if she were back in the days of her debut, with nowhere to go. But back then, she knew her boyfriend would cover for her no matter what, so she walked boldly and fearlessly.
But now, that person is gone forever. No one will stand by her side no matter what happens.
Mimi, who never recalls the past, suddenly felt the urge to cry bitterly at this moment.
The responses received by the other four stars were similar, all of which were "There's nothing we can do, please take care of yourself."
After putting down their phones, several people looked at each other with the same panic on their faces.
At the same time, netizens who were stunned by this shocking reversal also reacted and typed barrages in the live broadcast room: [Sorry, I'm going to delete this comment! ]
As for which comments to delete, everyone knows this because everyone is busy.
"Zhuang Li is so rich, why is he posting stolen pictures online? I don't understand his train of thought!" someone asked in frustration.
Fang Yuwu, who had been quiet a while ago, was surprisingly alert in this critical moment. Seeing the audience's question, she immediately responded, "I guess Mr. Zhuang is hiding his true identity and dating Han Kun. Judging from Han Kun's posts, he seems to have always believed Mr. Zhuang was just a powerless orphan. Of course, Mr. Zhuang could only post stolen photos because it's his own home, so he wouldn't want to show off."
At the same time, the split screen just played the last clip, which was the full view of Green Lake Castle specially shot by the director.
In addition to huge castles, mountains, flower fields and lakes, it also houses the world's most expensive cars, famous paintings, jewelry and antiques.
These things really can’t be posted publicly, because if they are, your wealth will be exposed.
So, when Zhuang Li's identity changed, the story's trajectory also changed. The truth was completely different from Han Kun's story: there was no money scam or being kept, only a person who silently loved him and was willing to give up everything for him, yet was treated so coldly.
Netizens: “…”
[Fuck! After all this time, when we thought Zhuang Li was pretending to be a rich kid, he's actually pretending to be poor? Is there such a thing?] One netizen was stunned.
"What's so hard to understand about this? I guess Zhuang Li is hiding his identity because he wants pure love. Didn't he already tell Meng Lan that this is the answer he's looking for?" one netizen replied immediately.
Other netizens: “…” Who was it that said Zhuang Li was a big talker?
[Hahahaha, I really want to know what Han Kun’s expression was when he watched this episode!]
I really want to know the expressions of those who previously called Zhuang Li a slut, a vixen, a marriage fraud, and a bad apple.
Fortunately, after Wan Anni was accused of being a mistress, I was very careful about what I said online and didn't say anything.
[I didn’t say anything just now!]
Those who are still posting comments are probably the neutral party. Because those who are cursing the most are busy deleting their Weibo posts now.
【Ha ha ha ha……】
A burst of laughter passed across the screen, but Mimi and the others couldn't laugh at all.
The trolls can hide if they offend someone, but this is a live broadcast! The whole country is watching their jokes!
Seeing Fang Yuwu start to clear Zhuang Li's name, Mimi and others seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and began to frantically clear Zhuang Li's name.
One netizen sarcastically wrote: "Zhuang Li is still lying! He keeps denying his identity as Mr. Zhuang. Is he trying to trick us?"
Mimi quickly retorted, "Dear audience member, it seems Zhuang Li isn't lying, is he? If you've watched from the first episode, you'll notice that Zhuang Li has been emphasizing his good family background from beginning to end, right?"
Roger quickly replied, "Yes! After Xi Ming confessed his life story, Zhuang Li also said that although he was an orphan, he was adopted by a powerful figure with a strong background. He never concealed his past."
Ma Hui quickly accused him, "You guys always thought he was lying! You took every truth he said as a lie. In fact, if you've watched the previous episodes, you'll know how open and honest Zhuang Li is!"
Mimi's eyes lit up, and she immediately added, "Come on, let's review the previous program and see if Zhuang Li was lying!
"At the beginning of the second episode, he said that Chang Jinbo was not worthy of him in terms of family background, ability, knowledge, etc. Is this true? Although Zhuang Li was adopted by a good family, the financial field is the only place where background is not considered and only strength can make a name for oneself.
"Do you think that if Zhuang Li just shouts, 'My father is so-and-so,' people will give him money? There's no such thing. He became the richest man in Asia entirely because of his own ability. Look at Chang Jinbo again. Besides the fact that his father is Chang Fan, what else does he have to show for himself? Is he a good match for Zhuang Li?"
Netizens: “…” These two are really not a good match!
Roger interrupted, "Also, Zhuang Li also said that he and his ex-boyfriend broke up because the gap between them kept widening, not just materially but also spiritually. Isn't that true? Look at the text messages his boyfriend sent him. He gave her 5,000 yuan to get rid of her after she stayed out all night, and then asked her, 'You're nothing without me.' What does he think of Zhuang Li? He thinks he's great just because he's rich! He doesn't know how to respect others. If it were me, I would have broken up with him long ago!"
Netizens: “…” There is no way to refute it!
Ma Hui wiped the sweat from her forehead and interrupted, "After the breakup, Han Kun complained bitterly on Weibo, accusing Zhuang Li of scamming him. Look at Zhuang Li, has he ever said anything bad about Han Kun? His assessment of this relationship is simply this: no one owes anyone anything."
"Look at Zhuang Li's demeanor and style. Then look at Han Kun's hysteria and frustration. These two are completely different!"
Netizens: "..." The comparison is true. Han Kun is like a madman, while Zhuang Li is elegant and restrained from beginning to end.
Mimi frantically tried to make amends, "And then there's that part about returning Han Kun's gifts. Oh, what a misunderstanding! I believe Zhuang Li really didn't know he had to return these things. To him, these were just trivial things. He probably didn't expect Han Kun to be so stingy."
Netizens: "..." No, we were being stingy! A 20,000 yuan belt is just a small item in the eyes of a big shot like Zhuang Li.
Roger rushed to speak: "I just watched the show, and I was so moved! Did you notice that Zhuang Li and Xi Ming didn't even sign a prenuptial agreement when they registered their marriage? That means he's willing to love Xi Ming with everything he has, and he's completely unreserved about this feeling. Even after being deeply hurt, he still believes in love. Oh my god, what kind of fairy tale love is this?"
Roger's voice was choked and there were tears of emotion in his eyes.
Netizens: "..." Oh my! So, it seems like Zhuang Li is the one being deceived into marriage? Does Xi Ming really not know that Zhuang Li is Mr. Zhuang? Is his motivation for participating in the show really just love at first sight?
One audience member who was still clear-headed complained: "No, it was you guys who called Zhuang Li a love cheater, and now it's you who are calling him an honest person. You guys change too quickly, aren't you?"
