Chapter 35 Part 2: Ambiguity
Before going to bed, Feng Yan posted on his Moments.
He finally understood the feeling of his celebrity friends who couldn’t make an official announcement or show off their affection on Weibo and liked to post on their Moments instead.
Nothing, just purely wanting to show off.
🙂
Moments:
—The most romantic thing I can think of is lying in a tent with you, watching the stars and writing lyrics.
In the lyrics, you are more beautiful than the stars.
…
The next day, Yu Weixi gave his final critique, and then everyone had a barbecue together.
Many students, especially Chen Taochuan, cried.
“Wuwuwu, Mr. Yu… thank you so much for your guidance during this time. You must take good care of yourself in the future!”
“Mr. Yu, a small gift for you.”
“Mr. Yu, eat some meat!! I’ve grilled it for you!”
For the entire evening, a large group of students surrounded Yu Weixi like stars around the moon. Yu Weixi received a large bag of gifts and was stuffed with a lot of barbecue.
Luo Yucheng, on the side, excused himself and left early, saying that he was not feeling well, as he watched the lively scene.
He really couldn’t pretend anymore. In the industry, losing one resource was already a laughingstock, let alone him, who had lost all his film and television works. Now, his only two remaining endorsements were also in jeopardy.
Luo Yucheng was not only full of resentment but also exhausted.
Luo Yucheng had been thinking, why was Yu Weixi so lucky? Why was Yu Weixi so successful?
Why did he have to suffer all this?
Why was Yu Weixi so detestable, but now everyone liked him?
Luo Yucheng couldn’t stay any longer.
Yu Weixi watched as Luo Yucheng quietly left, his smile of triumph and satisfaction undisguised.
Then, after eating the barbecue, Yu Weixi even borrowed a guitar from Chu Qing and, just like that, sat on a bamboo and rattan chair with his legs crossed, by the bonfire, and sang.
Yu Weixi’s dancing was top-notch, needless to say, but in fact, Yu Weixi’s singing was not bad either.
Not as good as a professional singer, but still pleasant to listen to.
The farewell party ended with Yu Weixi’s singing. The next day, Yu Weixi left the show.
“I’ll be back on the day of the finals.” Yu Weixi looked at the students with a smile.
“Don’t let me down. No one is allowed to be lazy! If you don’t perform well in the finals, I’ll beat you up!”
“Okay!”
One voice was louder than the next.
Two days later, the production team finally… surrendered.
They had originally wanted to be vague about it, but they hadn’t expected Yu Weixi himself to be fierce, and his fans to be even fiercer. They could tear apart a white lotus bitch and also tear apart the production team. In addition, with the help of Feng Yan’s mother, they directly flamed the production team until they went to the forestry bureau to check the surveillance.
Feng Yan went with them.
It took a long time to check the surveillance, and they had to go through them one by one. It took a whole day to get a result.
Feng Yan looked at the scene on the screen in front of him with a cold face.
On the big screen, one could clearly see Luo Yucheng standing next to Yu Weixi, and Chen Taochuan was excitedly rushing towards Yu Weixi.
Then, Luo Yucheng subtly, with a natural expression on his face, stuck out his foot.
He just moved his foot slightly. If it weren’t for the zoom, no one would have noticed that he had actually moved, since it was just a slight movement of his foot.
Then, Chen Taochuan was tripped by that foot.
The situation was clear. The truth was laid out before Feng Yan and the production team. Feng Yan turned his head and looked at the director with a blank expression. “What do you think?”
The director’s face was pale. “I, I didn’t expect…”
“You’re not thinking of hiding this video and not releasing it, are you?” Feng Yan crossed his arms. “The fans all know that we’ve come to see the surveillance now. What are you going to say?”
Although Feng Yan spoke slowly and nonchalantly, the director could hear the pressure and coldness in his voice.
“Please, Yan-ge, keep it a secret for now. Don’t say anything yet…” The director said with a headache, “If you say it out like this, it will cause a huge wave.”
Feng Yan raised an eyebrow.
The director said, “The production team will give Xixi and the public an explanation. Please rest assured.”
“Okay.” Feng Yan nodded. “I believe in the character of the production team.”
“Of course, of course…”
Feng Yan nodded, asked for a copy of the surveillance, and then turned to leave.
Feng Yan sat in the driver’s seat, his hands on the steering wheel, and took a deep breath.
He had known that it was most likely Luo Yucheng who had done it. He had already mentally prepared himself when he came today, so he wouldn’t lose control of his emotions.
But seeing Yu Weixi being pushed down in the surveillance, his slender body rolling down the cliff, getting scraped everywhere along the way, and finally his head hitting a rock hard, like a limp doll, his heart still felt as if it had been hit hard.
Feng Yan shook his head, started the engine, and left.
At the same time, while Yu Weixi’s side was in a mess, and it was a time of many troubles, Feng Yan’s new TV drama also premiered, with four episodes broadcast on a Saturday night.
Feng Yan had flown to another city for promotion and was temporarily busy.
Yu Weixi was curled up on his own sofa, applying a face mask and scrolling through Weibo.
Weibo Real-time Hot Search Ranking:
7. Feng Yan’s car crash
8. Feng Yan’s high-class face
9. Three Lives, Three Worlds, Linglong Jade
Yu Weixi’s eyes widened.
Ah…?
This looks like a negative hot search, right? What’s going on?
After clicking in, he saw that all sorts of film critics and bloggers had joined in and were passionately speaking out.
XXXX: Film Emperor Feng has really had a car crash this time. This drama, Linglong Jade, is really the worst drama I’ve seen this year, bar none. The logic is flawed, the plot is strange, the characters are unrealistic, and the costumes and makeup are from a tacky photo studio… hello? Are you filming a historical idol fairy tale drama? Film Emperor Feng’s look… I really… can’t…
XXXX: I’m speechless. Film Emperor Feng, if you’ve been kidnapped, just blink? Why on earth did you take on this terrible drama? I thought Film Emperor Feng was someone who would choose his scripts? Why is he eating all sorts of shit now?
XXXX: I’m really too disappointed in Film Emperor Feng. It’s not that his acting is bad, but this character is really too confusing. It seems Film Emperor Feng can’t grasp the emotions either… the whole thing is so strange!
XXXX: Let’s discuss rationally. I think it’s just that people like Film Emperor Feng, who are otherworldly and not down-to-earth, with such a high-class face, can only take on arthouse films or films by major directors. As for this kind of romance or historical idol drama, it’s definitely not possible.
XXXX: Then if an actor can’t even act in a historical idol drama, and his range is so narrow, can he still be called a Film Emperor?
The online discussion about “acting” was very heated and noisy.
Yu Weixi frowned slightly.
Yu Weixi went to the premiere website and clicked on the first episode out of curiosity.
Five minutes later…
Yu Weixi: Fuck, what is this.
Twenty minutes later…
Yu Weixi: What the fuck is this human suffering? Why am I here watching this thing?
After watching one episode…
Yu Weixi: I’m crying…
It’s really not good, Yu Weixi thought. The netizens were right. The plot and the characters, coupled with Feng Yan’s strange inability to grasp the emotions of the male lead in a historical idol dog-blood drama, resulted in none of the romance and sweetness that a historical idol drama should have.
Yu Weixi frowned slightly, a little confused.
Then according to his understanding of Feng Yan… no, according to everyone’s understanding of Feng Yan, Feng Yan was definitely an elite and a perfectionist when it comes to work. He also personally chose his scripts, only accepting those that he liked and that had a reliable team.
Yu Weixi scrolled through Weibo curiously, feeling that it was too strange.
And at Feng Yan’s status, he didn’t need to be threatened by investors, right?
…Of course, basically, the costumes and makeup of this drama had already proven that there was no investor control.
So…
Yu Weixi rubbed his chin and thought, Feng Yan’s brain must have been fried by menopause.
Yu Weixi “tsked,” opened countless side accounts, and then…
Went online for a passionate battle.
XXXX: I’m so disappointed in Film Emperor Feng. I used to like him so much.
Kneel down and call me Daddy: You used to like him? Show your spending records? Those who liked him in their minds don’t need to come out and make their presence known at this time.
XXXX: Oh my god, this drama is so disgusting to watch. I want to puke.
Kneel down and call me Daddy: Do you want to go for a prenatal check-up?
Yu Weixi not only roasted those netizens with his side account, but also reposted film reviews and wrote long articles to roast back.
In any case, Yu Weixi was very happy roasting.
Then, Yu Weixi switched to his main account and started his Dylan Bot business.
@DylanLovesToDance_: Three Lives, Three Worlds, Thick Shit. The most fragrant shit of the year.
Then he roasted the drama from the actors to the plot, the kind that was desperately trying to smear it.
The film critics’ evaluations were convincing, but Yu Weixi’s random comments triggered everyone’s rebellious psychology.
XXX: The contrarian is online again. Oh, you’re so good at talking. If you’re so good, then you go up? With that acting, if you filmed it, it would be even uglier than Film Emperor Feng, right?
XXX: Come on, although Linglong Jade is ugly, it’s really not as ugly as the contrarian’s Golden Stinky Tofu award-winning one. Can you have some self-awareness?
XXX: A little fresh meat who can’t even memorize his lines, can you not shamelessly ride on the popularity of an industry veteran?
Yu Weixi’s fans were not happy about this.
This drama is already ugly. Why can’t our Xixi say it? Our Xixi is just being true to himself!
Yu Weixi’s fans: Linglong Jade is so ugly!
Feng Yan’s fans, who had all been provoked into becoming battle fans: Yu Weixi’s acting is even uglier!
So the public opinion shifted from the entire internet roasting Linglong Jade to the entire internet dissing Yu Weixi.
Feng Yan’s fans were passionately fighting. Yu Weixi’s fans had to flame the production team and Luo Yucheng, and now they were also fighting with their in-laws, busy as a bee.
The shippers were caught in the middle, with a dazed expression.
After so long, is Xixi finally, finally, finally dissing Yan-ge again?
