Chapter 31 My sister's become famous, and more and more people are criticizing me.
The official Weibo account for "Novoland: The Moon" released the cast list the following day.
Chi Yanzhou was chosen as the male lead, and fans were excitedly celebrating in the comments section, making it the most popular topic.
Fans of other groups are also stepping up their efforts to promote their own idols.
However, soon after, some netizens discovered that Song Shiwei, who has recently been trending online, is also in the cast!
She plays the young but scheming Empress Dowager, who drives the entire drama's trajectory.
Some were shocked, some were puzzled, and some were unhappy and threw mud at the situation.
What's Song Shiwei's background? How did she get a role in Director Dong's film?
[A nobody suddenly landed a role in a major variety show and also got a role in a film directed by Director Dong. I don't need to spell it out, right?]
Which powerful backer did they get involved with?
No wonder she dares to be so outspoken in the entertainment industry; she has powerful backers!
Such comments are increasing, even surpassing the popularity of Chi Yanzhou. Numerous marketing accounts are forwarding and stirring up trouble, all speculating about who Song Shiwei's backer is.
Some people have even spread rumors that Song Shiwei has become involved with a central government official, and they are making it sound very convincing.
After reading this, Song Shiwei wondered if she had a clone of herself who had taken some shortcut behind her back.
But she's a relatively unknown actress who just landed a role in a big-name director's film. It's definitely not good for something like this to happen. What if they consider market prospects and then pass her over?
Song Shiwei lay on the expensive leather sofa, her long, shapely legs draped over the back of the sofa, and picked up her phone to make a call.
"Hey, Chi Yanzhou, someone's smearing your good brother online. Get your PR team to come up with a solution for me."
"We're working on a plan, don't rush."
Chi Yanzhou's deep voice came through the microphone, making people feel particularly at ease: "It must be someone deliberately trying to smear you."
"It has to be you! Life has already started to spice up this little chicken claw. Even someone as obscure as me is worth paying to smear. Do I still have room to smear others?"
"It may have infringed on someone's interests; the company will handle it."
"It's what the company should do. I'm just doing this to make money for the company!" Song Shiwei said shamelessly.
"The company spends a lot of money on public relations every time it does you."
"You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub; I'll be successful one day!"
Chi Yanzhou chuckled softly on the other end, seemingly in a good mood.
"Do you even need public relations? Don't you just get involved and start tearing things apart yourself?"
"Of course, I won't let the haters get away with it, but the company should also do its part for me."
Song Shiwei played the game on speakerphone while simultaneously switching to her main Weibo account to play against her opponent.
On the other hand, Chi Yanzhou's voice was languid, seemingly unconcerned about her anti-human behavior in the entertainment industry.
"Tear it apart! Tonight at 8 PM, I'll be there to help you turn the tables and slap your face."
"That's great, love you, muah!" Song Shiwei said without any emotion, colder than a machine.
Chi Yanzhou lowered his gaze, gave a soft "hmm," and hung up the phone.
With nothing else to distract her, Song Shiwei tore at the wound even more vigorously.
[You have an anus on your face, you spew shit from head to toe, your words stink, and wherever you go, you're a cesspool!]
[While others bind their feet, you bind your cerebellum; no artificial intelligence can rival your natural stupidity.]
[I operate in both the legal and illegal worlds; anyone who messes with me will be wiped out!]
Your cerebellum and duodenum look alike; they contain the same things.
Song Shiwei's destructive power remains astonishing, and Tao Xiaotian and the company are no longer surprised.
After all, they couldn't control Song Shiwei's hands, they could only control them for the time being, and they couldn't control her mouth when she appeared on TV shows.
So we just used this as her persona; as long as she didn't break the law, everything was fine.
If someone can attract fans through such crazy behavior, they are true fans and will probably never leave the fandom.
After all, how much more could this ruin of Song Shiwei possibly collapse?
Song Shiwei's fans also spoke up for her on Weibo, but the opposing side had a large number of anti-fans, making her fans seem particularly powerless.
Song Shiwei posted directly on Weibo:
A bunch of idiots, step back behind me, I'll handle this myself. You should study or go to sleep.
Song Shiwei's fans:
[Go, sister! All I can do is sob.]
But she calls me a little idiot (shy emoji)
[The Wei Family Army only needs Sister Wei.]
At 8 PM, the official Weibo account of the "Novoland: The Moon" production team posted a video.
This is the audition content for all the actors playing the role of the Empress Dowager.
More than 80 people auditioned, and the video was edited into more than two hours.
The video had no accompanying text, but it proved everyone wrong.
Because regardless of skill level or understanding of acting, anyone can see at a glance that Song Shiwei's explosive power and performance in the film are the strongest.
It was just a two-minute audition scene, and some people were like wooden figures, some were too overacting, and some couldn't even get into character.
But in that instant, Song Shiwei got into character, with changes in her eyes and demeanor.
Even without the help of set design and costumes, Song Shiwei is the Empress Dowager!
Unexpectedly, Director Dong himself posted on Weibo:
Song Shiwei is the most promising new actress I've seen in recent years. I even want to rewrite the script for her so that the Empress Dowager character has more screen time.
You can question everything, but don't question my judgment. Song Shiwei is the most suitable candidate for this role.
Chi Yanzhou liked this Weibo post, and Song Shiwei reposted it with the following caption:
Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Director Dong. I, Xiao Song, will definitely make you proud!
Director Dong's personal involvement and the release of the audition audio video led most netizens, aside from those who were just trying to criticize, to acknowledge Song Shiwei's talent. Of course, many were also surprised.
Suddenly, Song Shiwei's fans surged, and public opinion began to turn in her favor.
They praised her as an acting genius and a future powerhouse performer.
Song Shiwei left a message for them: Don't pretend with your sister, she knows everything.
Chi Yanzhou messaged her, "That's a marketing account the company bought for you."
[Song Shiwei: Don't waste this money next time. You're exaggerating a bit; it might make me arrogant.]
Following this, a new round of discussion broke out on Weibo, as Song Shiwei's overwhelming performance led to a barrage of attacks against many other actors who had auditioned for the same role.
The most unfortunate one is Xia Zhiqing. She was originally a naive and innocent character, and she had only acted in popular idol dramas before. Over the years, her acting skills have not improved at all.
In this video, she even relies on grimacing and glaring to perform, and her distorted facial features have been turned into memes by her haters.
Song Shiwei forwarded the Weibo message mocking Xia Zhiqing to Chi Yanzhou.
[Was this also done by the company?]
[Chi Yanzhou: Hmm? Pretty smart.]
[Song Shiwei: The company is too nice! I'm a bit petty, I like seeing her uncomfortable.]
[Chi Yanzhou: Who told her to slander you first? We're just giving her a taste of her own medicine.]
[Song Shiwei: But isn't Xia Zhiqing also from our company?]
[Chi Yanzhou: So what? I can't stand her methods; she's paying for it herself.]
[Song Shiwei: Oh my god, Brother Zhou! You love me so much! There aren't many men as smart as you these days!]
[Chi Yanzhou:......................]
