606 The Rumor
Some people expressed their doubts.
“I’d like to ask. How could Song Ci know that this movie would be a hit? Can she predict the future?”
“It’s nonsense that she would have the ability to predict the future, but she definitely knew something. Why else would a popular female star play a small supporting role? When I saw Song Ci’s name in this series, I did think it was very strange.”
“I think what the person above said makes sense. Based on Song Ci’s popularity, she must be constantly acting in female lead roles. How would she have the time to act in this? If she didn’t know that this movie would be a hit, why act in it? Don’t kid yourself. It couldn’t have been because she wanted to hone her acting skills, right?”
“Let me say something. I just checked when Song Ci joined the crew. It was posted officially, so no one can object. At that time, Song Ci wasn’t even famous yet. If Song Ci was trying to steal the role, why? How could she have predicted both shows exploding in popularity?”
Even though clear-headed people were explaining in the middle, those specifically looking for trouble with Song Ci would not let this opportunity go. No matter what anyone said, they would not listen nor let go.
It was also during this time that Shi Bingbing, who was going to star as Yu Xiaoyue, posted. “Sigh. I can only say that it was my bad luck. It was originally just a signed role, but now it had become someone else’s road to fame. It would be a lie to say that I didn’t feel uncomfortable. I hope this world can be gentler.”
As no one knew about Shi Bingbing’s past, some netizens were still confused. However, someone found the highlight and Shi Bingbing’s previous post. “Another small role for an undercover police officer. Just a few scenes, but you can do it!”
Now, the haters were even more certain.
“She looks calm and good but is actually a scheming b*tch. The nerve she had to steal someone else’s role! She had already signed a contract. I feel disgusted for her.”
When Song Ci’s fans saw this, they quickly went online to help Song Ci refute the rumors,
“How can you spread rumors just based on these two specious words? I saw the meaning behind Shi Bingbing’s post. It’s obvious she was not satisfied with the lack of screen time! Moreover, Shi Bingbing was just a marginal character with no presence. I’ve checked out her shows. All of them are supporting roles. How can she be considered a new actress?”
“We know that sister Song Ci is famous. There’s no need to freeload off her. Our sister is beautiful on her own.”
“Song Ci’s taste in scripts is quite unique. The role of Yu Xiaoyue doesn’t have many scenes. She’s like a flash in the pan, so how did she choose such a role?”
“The audacity of some people. I don’t know how they can be so mean to others…”
All of a sudden, the internet was in chaos. Fans from all walks of life were scolding each other. It was a mess.
Yang Haoran looked at the contents of the forum and quickly contacted Director Liang to tell him about this matter.
Director Liang was old and rarely paid attention to things like this, but now that he knew about it, he was very surprised. “There’s such a thing? That Shi Bingbing was indeed a candidate for Yu Xiaoyue. However, she felt this role had too few scenes, so she broke the contract and acted in another movie. How dare she say such things now?! Don’t worry. Leave this to me. I won’t let anyone blame Song Ci. I still remember her as the one who saved the day.”
“Director Liang, we don’t have to be so deliberate.” Yang Haoran was a professional manager, so he understood how things worked on the internet better than Director Liang, who was dedicated to creative work. Sometimes, the more people try to explain, the more netizens would not believe. Moreover, some people just wanted their five minutes of fame. After all, one more popular person meant one less chance for others to choose. Right now, most people did not even know about Song Ci’s exposé. If they were to refute the rumors now, it would instead indirectly spread the news. It was not worth it.
Yang Haoran already had an idea but needed Director Liang’s cooperation. He said, “Don’t we have a promotional event tomorrow? There will definitely be reporters asking you to comment on the cast. When it’s time to comment on Song Ci, you can say a few more words about how Song Ci got in. By then, those so-called rumors will be dispelled on their own.”
Director Liang naturally had no problem with this and agreed. “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to praise Song Ci tomorrow.”
“On behalf of Song Ci, thank you, Director Liang,” Yang Haoran said with a smile.
