Chapter 191 Public Opinion
On the other side, Lin Xiyue felt more and more aggrieved the more she thought about it after returning. The contract had already been signed, so how could she be replaced just because of Shen Wan's words?
She was unwilling to accept it.
Thinking that she could use public opinion to pressure the crew, she simply publicly criticized the crew on Weibo, released the termination contract, and added a note:
【Bow to the evil capital】
As soon as this Weibo post was released, it immediately topped the trending search list.
The fans couldn't stand seeing their idol being bullied, so they went to tear down the official Weibo of Chang'an Xing. Even Director Jin and Ye Yin's Weibo were not spared.
They felt that their idol had suffered a great injustice and clamored for the crew and director to give Lin Xiyue justice.
Director Jin didn't expect Lin Xiyue to be so desperate, so he sent a message to Lin Xiyue privately, asking her to delete the Weibo post.
Not only did Lin Xiyue not delete it, she also sent out the contract she had signed before.
Her fans and netizens were all excited about this.
They said that Director Jin and the crew were irresponsible and went back on their word after signing the contract.
The situation soon developed to the point where netizens spontaneously boycotted the drama "The Journey to Chang'an".
Director Jin had no choice but to ask Lu Beichen what to do.
As soon as Lu Beichen received the news, he came to find Shen Wan and asked him to come to Shanhai Bay as well.
"Netizens can scold me all they want, but it can't affect the filming. Now everyone is boycotting Changan Journey, this won't work."
"It's reputation has already been ruined before the film even started."
Director Jin said with a sad face as soon as he arrived.
Chen Wan glanced at the trending searches and said calmly, "Black fire is also fire. Since Lin Xiyue is publicly clamoring, then let's make public the audition clips of her and Lin Xiyue. Anyone with eyes can see who is suitable for the heroine."
Director Jin slapped his thigh and said, "Yeah, I can just release the audition video."
Lu Beichen thought for a moment, "Since Lin Xiyue wants to ruin Chang'an's reputation, don't blame me for leaking her dirt!"
"Isn't it just tea talk? I can do it too!"
Not to be outdone, Director Jin posted a statement on Weibo.
[The crew breached the contract first, and I am sorry to Ms. Lin. I hereby solemnly apologize to her. Sorry! The reason for terminating the contract was after careful consideration by the crew. Ms. Lin is not suitable to play the heroine of "Chang'an Xing". In the process of preparing this drama, we are committed to presenting a well-made and superbly acted work to the audience. To this end, we have certain requirements for all participating actors. In the process of cooperation with Ms. Lin, we found some irreconcilable problems. Considering the overall quality of the work, we have to choose to terminate the contract. I sincerely wish Ms. Lin can go a long way in the acting career. 】
As soon as the statement came out, some netizens expressed understanding, while others continued to criticize it.
The drama "The Journey to Chang'an" became popular before it was even filmed and was on several hot searches in a row.
However, Lin Xiyue sensed something was wrong from Director Jin's statement.
"What do you mean by wishing me a long career in the entertainment industry?"
"Does Director Jin know something?"
"Could it be that Chen Wan spread my story?"
Lin Xiyue's face was grim. "She took my money but didn't keep her mouth shut. She spread my personal privacy everywhere. Is she worthy of being called a master?"
She thought for a moment and quickly responded on Weibo.
[Director Jin's so-called "careful consideration" is really ridiculous. Everything was fine when I signed the contract, but now he suddenly terminated my contract on the grounds of "unsuitability". Okay, I admit defeat this time. Who made me just a small actor with no background? ]
As soon as this Weibo post came out, the criticism was immediately directed at Ye Yin.
Lin Xiyue’s fans and some netizens who like to stir up trouble all went to Ye Yin’s Weibo to curse him.
There were more than 100,000 comments.
Lin Xiyue was sympathized by netizens.
[Ye Yin, a resourceful person, get out of the entertainment industry]
[Feeling sorry for Lin Xiyue]
[Boycott Chang'an March]
…
Related hot searches were on the headlines.
Seeing that netizens were all on his side, his number of active followers increased by 80,000.
Lin Xiyue was lying on the sofa, looking smug. "If you don't let me act, then don't blame me for ruining the reputation of this drama."
"With so many netizens boycotting you, no one will watch it even if you film it!"
When Lin Xiyue thought she had won, Director Jin took out the full video of the audition and posted it online.
The situation was reversed instantly!
After seeing Lin Xiyue and Ye Yin’s audition videos, netizens switched sides to Director Jin’s side.
Those who once supported Lin Xiyue were all shocked.
Lin Xiyue’s acting in the video is good, but once compared with Ye Yin’s, the flaws are immediately apparent.
There is no harm without comparison.
In the video, Lin Xiyue's glaring and screaming performance seems too exaggerated, which is far from Ye Yin's.
The wind changed, and the comment section became:
[I originally thought that Lin Xiyue was quite wronged, but now I think Director Jin’s decision was correct.]
[This acting is too bad, it is indeed not suitable for the role of the heroine. 】
[It makes sense for the crew to terminate Lin Xiyue's contract. We cannot ignore the importance of acting just because of sympathy. ]
[Oh my god, who promoted Lin Xiyue's acting skills? She's not even as good as a new actor]
[Am I the only one who finds that Ye Yin, a newcomer, has great acting skills? He is really talented! ]
【You are not the only one upstairs! 】
[Director Jin is indeed a man of good eyes. He terminated the contract with Lin Xiyue, the bad apple. Otherwise, my original work would have been ruined! ]
[Ye Yin is such a good heroine, looking forward to the trip to Chang'an! ]
Lin Xiyue was dumbfounded when she saw netizens turning around and scolding her for her poor acting skills, while Ye Yin gained 150,000 active fans just because of an audition video.
Feeling guilty, she quickly deleted the two Weibo posts.
In a short while, Lin Xiyue became a laughing stock on the Internet and in the entertainment industry.
The reputation of "The Journey of Chang'an" has also improved. It became popular before it was even filmed, and even the original work was ranked number one on the popular list.
She came to a black rag doll in a rage and said, "Baby, your mother is being bullied, please help her!"
The table suddenly shook.
The baby is also angry, angry that others are bullying his mother!
Lin Xiyue gritted her teeth and said, “You can’t move Chen Wan, but you can move Ye Yin!”
"How dare a rookie who has just made his debut steal all my limelight and cause me to be scolded by netizens."
"Baby, you must help mom vent this anger."
"It would be best if Ye Yin could not participate in the Chang'an Journey!"
That night, the hideous-looking little ghost came to Ye Yin's house.
It saw Ye Yin sleeping and stretched out its hands to strangle her to death!
Unexpectedly.
A burst of golden light suddenly emanated from Ye Yin's body.
The little ghost was bounced back by the light and let out a shrill scream, then disappeared in Ye Yin's house in an instant.
Ye Yin was woken up by the burns from the amulet in his pajama pocket. He took out the amulet paper and saw that one of the triangle corners had turned black.
She was shocked and quickly took a photo and sent it to Shen Wan.
