The production team had anticipated this and inserted a segment from "The Domineering School Prince Falls in Love with Me".
That was Shi Xi's first drama. Her acting was still immature, but you could see her talent.
The comments section was filled with nostalgia: "Ah, this was Xixi's first drama, I love it so much!"
[That's where I fell in love with Xixi. I thought she was a domineering school beauty, but I never expected her to be such a silly and adorable girl in private.]
My girlfriend's acting skills are getting better and better, and more and more people are paying attention to her. Back then, everyone praised her, but now there are too many haters.
Besides Xi Jia's fans, there are also many Wen Yao's fans.
[Yao Yao is the epitome of a pure and innocent beauty in campus dramas!]
This show is both ridiculous and hilarious. I thoroughly enjoyed it when I first started watching, but now it seems so cringeworthy.
[Haha, who is the male lead? How could Shi Xi and Wen Yao be fighting over him?]
Yun Guanghe was handsome, but his career has faded.
[...]
The fans of both sides kept arguing, filling the entire screen.
Hao, the ill-intentioned Kang, started stirring things up again, asking, "You two are rivals in love in the drama, so your relationship off-screen must not be good either, right?"
Everyone looked at the two of them.
The camera then split in two, focusing on Shi Xi and Wen Yao respectively.
Shuo Nan, who was standing nearby, also became interested when he heard the question.
Sure enough, as long as they weren't the ones who got into the mess, everyone wanted to know the answer to this kind of question.
Shi Xi said, "Acting is acting, but our crew often goes out to eat together in private."
Hao Kang bluntly exposed his words: "The whole crew is together, it's not like you and Wen Yao are eating alone."
Shi Xi: ...Brother, we're both hosts, isn't it a bit much for you to set me up like this?
“We all got along really well back then,” Shi Xi said. “It was similar to my relationship with Brother Kang.”
Hao Kang: "We're not familiar with each other at all."
Shi Xi: ...
The comments section was equally blunt: [Shi Xi, stop trying to ride on Wen Yao's coattails! How long has it been since you last contacted her? Are you trying to piggyback on Yao Yao's popularity now?]
[Haha, so you started pulling strings now that Yao Yao's in a big movie, huh? You two weren't that close back then, even though you were in the same production team!]
[Hehe, back then, "Domineering Love" got on TV thanks to Wen Yao, and Shi Xi's career skyrocketed along with it. Now that she's tasted success, is she trying to ride on Wen Yao's coattails again?]
[...]
Famous celebrity fans all share the same anxiety.
They promote their own traffic to avoid being exploited by others.
Xi Jia scoffed: [Huh? Our Shi Xi, the leading lady, has a 2.6 billion yuan box office in her movies, an upcoming film 'Yuan Shao 2,' and a wildly popular drama 'Nine Lives for Peace.' Do we need to leech off your sister?]
[Hilarious! Shi Xi's traffic is way higher than yours, Yao's, right?]
Has Wen Yao ever single-handedly carried a drama? Has she ever carried a box office? Hahaha, don't compare yourself to my girl.
[...]
The two fan groups dislike each other and can start arguing over the smallest things.
Wen Yao's fans: [Shi Xi is still going to play the second female lead for Wen Yao!]
Xi Jia: [Wen Yao debuted early, so it's normal for Shi Xi, who just debuted, to play the second female lead. Why not say that the popularity of "Domineering Love" was all brought by Shi Xi?]
[...]
The debate spread from the live chat to Weibo.
Both companies are well-known and confident, showing no fear and unwilling to back down.
*
"Refrigerator" continues.
Wen Yao said, "I had only known Shi Xi for a short time back then, and our relationship was still shallow."
Hao Kang said to Shi Xi, "Look, Wen Yao already said that you two aren't close."
Shi Xi: ...
Wen Yao added, "But I remember it very clearly. When I went to the red carpet, I couldn't borrow a dress, and then Shi Xi lent me her dress."
