When Lan Shuang answered the phone, she guessed that Qin Shou might be planning to let her take advantage of the situation. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the circle. If it is done well, it is easy to gain a large number of loyal fans, and then take advantage of the situation to screw up the personal image, and it will basically be a sure thing.
As expected, Qin Shou's next words were, "The company's intention is to give you a strong and independent heroine character. This character is quite popular right now, and weren't you injured a while ago? Take this opportunity to promote it, and this character will be established. We can then develop in this direction in the future."
Xiao Xu came back and heard everything clearly from the side. Her expression was a little complicated. She muttered, "Why are you making it so complicated? What if your character is ruined? Won't you get retaliated against?"
Lan Shuang shook her head at her, made a "silence" gesture, and turned to Qin Shou on the other end of the phone and said, "Brother Qin, I understand what the company means, but I don't want to cooperate."
Qin Shou's breath caught in his throat, and he asked angrily, "Why? This has nothing but benefits for you! You knew before that because you didn't have many fans and your traffic wasn't as high as before, the company signed you but never paid much attention to you. Now it's different. The company clearly wants to cultivate you, so why don't you seize the opportunity?"
Lan Shuang stood in the corner, watching the staff coming and going, and the actors gathered together to discuss the play. She laughed softly, but the sound was so light that it was blown away by the wind.
"Brother Qin, I have my bottom line. No matter what happened in the past, I want to be a good actor in the future. I want to reach the top with my own real ability, not relying on these cheap tricks. It's true that I want to be famous, and opportunities are rare, but for me, it's not very important. I know what I want and how I can get it."
"you……"
Before Qin Shou could continue, Lan Shuang's voice suddenly turned cold. "I have people behind me, too. Don't let the company do anything. I say no, and I won't do it. If you do things like bullying your fans and your character behind my back, I will clarify it immediately."
Qin Shou was stunned by her tone. Before he could come to his senses, Lan Shuang hung up the phone.
Xiao Xu: “…”
She was silent for a moment, then suddenly applauded Lan Shuang like an excited little seal.
"Good! Sister Shuang is so domineering!"
Lan Shuang held her hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Stop it, have you ordered takeout?"
"It's ordered." Xiao Xu showed her the order, and Lan Shuang nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, Sister Shuang. What are your plans next? After this incident breaks out, I guess a lot of people will come looking for you. I guess the paparazzi will come to stake you out."
"If the enemy comes, we will fight him. If the water comes, we will block it with earth. I haven't done anything wrong, so there's nothing to worry about."
Lan Shuang was very calm. When the staff came to call her, she went to film as usual.
Public opinion fermented quickly, and netizens were excited and waiting for a follow-up. Even Gu’s official Weibo was overwhelmed.
However, soon, both Gu Ting and Bai Moran's accounts issued apology statements. The words were sincere and it was obvious that they were carefully prepared by someone. Netizens did not buy it at all.
The Gu family then issued a solemn statement, drawing a clear line between themselves and Gu Ting and denouncing Gu Ting's behavior.
The swift and decisive approach earned him a higher regard from netizens. Gu Xiao also came out to clarify and posted an apology video. His attitude was much more sincere than Gu Ting's, and he quickly gained the understanding and support of a large number of netizens.
The number of fans of Gu Group’s official Weibo increased instead of decreased, and Gu Xiao’s popularity suddenly overshadowed Gu Ting.
Lan Shuang went from being blacklisted by the entire network to being pitied by the entire network. Many people sent private messages to Lan Shuang to express their condolences, but Lan Shuang was so focused on filming that she didn't pay any attention to her phone at all.
…
In the evening, everyone drank the milk tea that Lan Shuang treated them to. After knowing why, they all congratulated her.
Lan Shuang smiled and said a few words before returning to the hotel. After taking a shower and lying on the bed, she remembered that she wanted to call Gu Xiao. She looked at the time. It was 10:30 in the evening. She didn't know if Gu Xiao was asleep.
As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, she heard a familiar radio wave voice coming from her mind, "Xiao Baba? You're back?" Lan Shuang blinked.
"My dear host, long time no see. Did you miss me? Did anything happen while I was away? You... Fuck! Your resentment value is only 20 points left? What happened?"
888's voice changed from elation to shock.
While receiving the recent news, he checked the various data, "Hey, Gu Xiao's favorability is 80?"
Lan Shuang was stunned: "Wait, Gu Xiao's favorability? How can you see it?"
888 straightened his tie, bowed, and said, "Dear host, allow me to introduce you to the contents of our upgrade."
"First, some abnormal data was corrected."
"Secondly, we've added data on the favorability of characters related to the host (only the closest character is counted). This data is still under development and has many imperfections, so we'll continue to improve it."
“Third, a new forced disengagement function has been added.”
Lan Shuang listened quietly, and after digesting the information, she asked, "So, from now on, I can check the favorability of people I have a close relationship with at any time?"
"Yes, but this intimate relationship is not limited to lovers, family and friends. You can specify to query one person, but you can't change it later. Use it with caution~" 888 explained.
"What is forced separation?" Lan Shuang simply ignored the first one.
888: "Yeah, to put it bluntly, this is for the sake of system stability and the host's soul safety. In the event of an emergency, the system can override the main system's authority and directly lead the host's soul out of the mission world."
