"The cast of 'Lethal Beauty' has been fully announced. The original poster, like everyone else, is very curious about the third female lead, Zhou Siyu. After all, she looks very recognizable. If she had any previous works, the original poster should have some impression of her. But when the original poster dug deeper into her background, he realized that something was wrong. I believe everyone knows that Director Liang's movies have always been big productions, but this Zhou Siyu has only done a few sets of photos since her debut. She hasn't even taken part in any commercials. How did such a newcomer with no experience get into Director Liang's crew? "
At the beginning of the post, the person who posted it pointed out the actors of "Lethal Beauty" in a serious manner. In the end, he pointed the finger at Si Yu and began to suspect that Si Yu, a newcomer who had no previous works, had used her connections to get into the cast.
Because Ji Lin was in the cast, many people were concerned about Director Liang's new work. This post was quickly pushed to the top of the forum's homepage. Following the poster, a large number of people expressed their suspicion that Siyu didn't have the ability to get into the crew. And very quickly, someone dug up Siyu's resume clean.
[Model debut, not even a decent work. Can this kind of person really act?]
[Disappointing! Director Liang has a good reputation. Why did he use such a person this time? I was going for Brother Ji, but now I'm a little hesitant. How can an actor who gets in through the back door act well?]
[I remember that this Zhou Siyu has been on the hot search list twice before, right? At that time, she didn't make any splash at all, but she started to buy the hot search list. Her backer must have paid a lot of marketing fees to promote her, right?]
Once the rumor started, the situation couldn't be stopped. All kinds of speculation and abuse came pouring in, and in an instant, this rumor became a hot post. Even topics like "Zhou Siyu's backer" and "Zhou Siyu's backer" were trending on Weibo.
All of a sudden, the official Weibo of "Lethal Beauty" was once again filled with people. A group of people all tagged the official Weibo, hoping that they would come out and explain how exactly Si Yu got into the cast. As for Si Yu's "Zhou Si Yu Yu Yu Yu" account, her private inbox was about to explode.
"Sister Siyu, what's going on? Who hired the Internet Water Army to slander you?" Shen Yue had been helping Siyu manage this account for work. This time, as soon as she went online, she was flooded with private messages and mentions. Shen Yue was dumbfounded when she finally found out the whole story.
Their Si Yu was only filming her first movie. She was completely invisible in the past, but now, someone was trying to defame her?
It was obvious that someone was deliberately manipulating public opinion on the forum post. Shen Yue saw that Siyu's trending topic was still climbing. She was a little alarmed and hurriedly asked, "Sister Siyu, do you want me to contact the company and ask the PR department to help you investigate?"
Siyu had just started out. She definitely couldn't be tainted with anything bad!
Siyu was browsing the post on her phone. When she saw that the post was full of speculations about her backer, but no one dared to directly point out that she had the backing of Huanyi's president, she smiled and said, "I reckon that even if you investigate, you won't find any clues. There must be traces of the Internet Water Army, but the person who started the post is very smart. She knows that I have the backing of Huanyi. If she really pointed it out, she would severely offend Huanyi. So, she has been muddying the waters with the news of a holiday."
Shen Yue thought for a moment and broke out in a cold sweat, "Are you trying to say that... the person who posted the post to slander you is in the crew?"
The reason was very simple. Siyu had signed with Huanyi before this. It was only after Lu Xingzhou had released a high-profile investment contract to secure Siyu's role that the crew found out that this unknown girl had a backer. So, it could only be that someone in the crew had leaked the news.
Just then, Director Liang came looking for Siyu. His face was full of anger. Obviously, he had heard that someone was exposing Siyu on a large scale. Now that Siyu was in the crew, if anything happened to her, the entire crew would be implicated. Not to mention, a large number of netizens were constantly questioning them on the official Weibo account.
"Siyu, don't worry. Don't be affected by these rumors. I personally selected you, and I know this very well." Director Liang saw Siyu curled up in the chair and sipped on her medicine. He suddenly remembered that she had clenched her teeth and persevered with filming even when she was sick. Her progress had never been affected by her illness, and he couldn't help but feel pity for her.
He rarely met an actress like Siyu who valued acting more than her own health. She would only be so dedicated to her work if she was truly passionate about it. The people online who were speculating that she had used her connections to get in through the back door were simply slandering her!
"Director Liang, there are already some people who are suspecting the crew. I think, do you need me to clarify..." Siyu asked tentatively.
"Don't say anything about this first." Director Liang's expression turned serious and he said coldly, "I'll handle it. Just maintain your condition and focus on filming. The final result of your film will be the most powerful counterattack."
Siyu nodded obediently, "I understand."
As soon as she finished speaking, a figure rushed over like a whirlwind. He ignored Director Liang and flew to Siyu's side, "Sis, Sis, don't look at your phone first..."
Ji Lin glanced at Siyu's phone screen. It happened to be on the forum's interface of the debunking post. His voice came to an abrupt halt.
"Why shouldn't I look at it? Didn't they say it in a proper manner?" Siyu excitedly scrolled through the comments below and sighed at how imaginative the netizens were. Some people even suspected that she was a fair-skinned, rich, and beautiful woman who came to the entertainment industry to have fun! Siyu looked at Ji Lin, who was looking at her with eager eyes. She thought to herself, "This is a real rich second-generation heir."
Ji Lin realized that he was a step too late and his sister had already seen it. He immediately said dejectedly, "Sis, they're saying terrible things!"
All kinds of groundless speculations flew out. Ji Lin was furious. If it weren't for Xiao Ai desperately stopping him, he would have posted on Weibo to support Siyu.
However, even if he couldn't use his main account, he still had a side account! Ji Lin sneered and switched to the side account he created for his sister, "Braised Fish Head". At that time, in order to collect more photos of his sister, Ji Lin specially joined Siyu's fan group. This time, when the hateful post came out, Ji Lin entered the group to take a look. Sure enough, everyone was furious.
Ji Lin had been in the entertainment industry for many years. Even if he hadn't eaten pork, he had seen pigs run. He immediately took the lead to organize the fans in the group to fight back. Some people said that Siyu bought a trending topic? Then they would use the video of her saving Siyu and the netizens' praises and comments! Some people said that Siyu didn't have any foundation in her works? Then they would use the cover photo of Fengshang Icon and the sales of the magazine!
They would list out the facts one by one and slap those stupid hateful people's faces until they were swollen! Ji Lin's fingers were constantly tapping on the keyboard as he stared at the screen. He had stayed up all night to fight on the front line. He was a well-educated Young Master from a rich family. How could he know how to fight on the Internet? He learned everything on the spot. After one night, he even learned how to do 18 things in a row.
Xiao Ai hugged a pillow and sat on the side to watch Ji Lin fight. Seeing that Ji Lin was getting braver and braver, she was a little frightened. "Brother Ji, Brother Ji, it's almost time!"
Oh my god, she had been with Ji Lin for so many years. How come she never knew that Ji Lin's fighting power was comparable to a professional fan? Moreover, he was very good at organizing fans. He was very good at a series of operations such as finding comments and comments. Xiao Ai was in a daze. She felt that this was not a popular superstar. He was clearly a brainless fan of Siyu!
Brother Ji, you can't draw inferences from one case like this!
It was just that although Ji Lin was very good, Siyu's real fans were too few after all. Compared with the menacing "black material", they were a little outnumbered. However, at this time, netizens found that the official Weibo of "Lethal Beauty" had released two more videos.
The first video seemed to be a scene during filming. Siyu, who was wearing a white dress, leaned weakly on the bed and coughed up blood. When the director shouted "cut", she was still coughing up blood. Immediately, a staff member went up to give her medicine and advised her to rest. However, she shook her head and said that she was fine and insisted on continuing to film. It was completely different from what the hateful people said about her being "arrogant and not being serious".
The second video was a clip from the audition. The crew had cleverly shown more than a dozen people in a row. Compared to the exaggerated and pretentious acting of the other actors, Siyu's completely realistic performance of her illness was very eye-catching. Moreover, from the video, it could be seen that one of the sponsors did not want to choose her at first. However, the director and Ji Lin argued for Siyu on good grounds and finally chose her. It was completely different from the rumors that she got into the cast by relying on connections.
After these two videos, many of the problems had been clarified, but Director Liang still felt that it was not enough. He was very optimistic about this newcomer, Siyu. Now that she was being slandered by his own crew, he was so angry that he deliberately posted on Weibo. "Siyu insisted on filming despite her illness. Her health is very poor, but in order to pursue the best results, she has always been working very hard. She even vomited blood and fainted a few times. If your so-called 'backdoor' people are all good and responsible actors, then I'd rather have a few more!"
It was rare for Director Liang to speak up for someone else, so there was an uproar on Weibo. Especially when Director Liang posted on Weibo, Ji Lin immediately reposted it and publicly stated: "I believe in Director Liang's vision and my own judgment. A good actor does not have to be judged by their origin, only their work."
With this, those people who were happily slandering Siyu were dumbfounded. Why did Ji Lin suddenly come out to support her?! Wasn't he the most popular superstar who would not post on Weibo unless it was necessary for work? Why did he change this time?
Ji Lin's participation in the cast had completely reversed the situation. His fans had always been on the same page as him and were determined to stand on the same side as their idol. As soon as Ji Lin expressed his stance, these onlooking fans also rushed to Siyu's Weibo to show their support.
@ Flame-spitting Dragon Captain: "Little Missy, you can do it! Stop it, haters. Brother Ji has personally said that she is a good actress. She is so sick but she is still filming. Let me ask you, can you do it? "
@ TingZi-chan: "Does no one think that Little Missy is super into her role when she is acting? When she vomits blood, I feel like crying. Her emotional impact is too good! "
@ BaiTaoTao: "If she really brought money into the cast, she wouldn't have to work so hard to film! Whoever started this rumor, please apologize to Little Missy immediately! "
As the person involved, Si Yu acted as if she didn't know how fierce the battle outside was. She didn't make any clarification either. She only calmly sent a picture of braised fish when the argument was at its fiercest and said,
Zhou Siyu Yuyu: "Eat more fish, it's good for your brain."
"Pfft … Hahaha, this girl's sarcasm is full marks!" In the Lu family's mansion in Jiangcheng, Lu Xingzhou, who had finally been released from prison, only found out about Siyu from his subordinates a little later. At this time, the battle was coming to an end. When he went to take a look again, he happened to see Siyu's new Weibo post. He was amused when he saw it. "Look, Fifth Master, this is mocking those people who are slandering her for being brainless!"
Fifth Master Lu had an ancient scroll spread out on his lap. However, half a day had passed, and not a single page had been flipped. He just stared at the words on the book, and the prayer beads in his hand sped up.
Lu Xingzhou was still telling him about Siyu's recent situation when Fifth Master Lu suddenly interrupted him. "Did you find out who posted it?"
Lu Xingzhou quickly said, "I found out, but that person is a professional slanderer. As long as he receives money, he will slander anyone. He said that he has never seen the person who ordered him to do this. They all talked online, and the money was transferred in from an unregistered account. The chat records and other things have all been destroyed. I'm looking for someone to restore them."
Fifth Master Lu was silent for a while, then asked casually, "After the incident, she didn't look for you?"
Lu Xingzhou shook his head. "No, she didn't say anything. I just found out. I wanted to help her, but seeing that she handled it well, I didn't ask."
Fifth Master Lu smiled kindly and suddenly stopped what he was doing. "Very good."
Lu Xingzhou looked at Fifth Master's face and suddenly had an idea. He carefully probed, "Fifth Master, I think it's not that this girl doesn't want to tell you. Maybe she called you, but found out that you blacklisted her …"
The last few words were said in a lower voice. Lu Xingzhou saw the smile on Fifth Master's lips become warmer and warmer. He immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.
"Oh, tell me, when did I blacklist her?" Fifth Master Lu's tone was very kind.
Lu Xingzhou immediately shook his head like a rattle-drum, but he was cursing in his heart. Fifth Master was lying through his teeth. Didn't he blacklist him before, causing him to hide in the film studio for half a month, not daring to return to Jiangcheng?! And the girl saw that you blacklisted her, so she didn't try to call you again!
Fifth Master Lu didn't care what Lu Xingzhou thought. He closed his eyes and thought for a while. Suddenly, he felt that his month of waiting was very laughable. That little rabbit was having so much fun outside that she even forgot about her owner. Anyone would know that something had happened, but she refused to contact him. Her courage was really fattened up!
Therefore, that night, Siyu, who had just returned to the hotel after filming and was about to wash up and sleep, suddenly received a text message. The sender of the message was specially labeled "Crazy Demon King." There was only one sentence on it: "I'll give you one minute to come down. Hotel entrance."
