After she left that comment, she didn’t think much of it and simply put her phone away, continuing with her next shot.
It was Song Fengzhi who reminded Bo Yan that he was trending again, which made him realize that Xia Siyu had left a message for him.
The reception this time was organized by the hosts as a follow-up to theWeibo event. Most of the photos he posted were casual work photos taken by Song Fengzhi. Friends Circle was a bit more private though, as it was composed of friends from within the industry.
Such professional interactions were perfectly fine, and he hadn’t tried to cater to anyone. With his current status, he had no need to stoop to please others.
He would like what he enjoyed and wouldn’t comment on what he didn’t.
Little did he know, Xia Siyu would come here and cause trouble for him.
The Friends Circle, indeed, was more private than M/eibo, with less interaction from fans and haters and mostly comprised of industry peers and friends.
But it was precisely because there were industry insiders that some would surreptitiously take screenshots and leak them.
There might not be a public gallery for fans in Friends Circle, but that didn’t mean there weren’t any on Weibo.
Xia Siyu’s collaboration with Bo Yan on “Storm’! had already been mocked everywhere. People said she contradicted herself, accused her of snatching Li Yiru’s opportunity, and claimed she rode on Bo Yan’s coattails only to turn against him. Bo Yan’s fans were thoroughly disgusted, and to make matters worse, the movie refused set visits.
At the same time as they were repulsed, they also felt a tinge of fear—
After all, Xia Siyu was incredibly beautiful, and many male artists who had worked with her had been involved in rumors. Even their virtuous Teacher Bo was not immune to the clutches of this siren.
After eagerly awaiting for two months since joining the production, the day came when Xia Siyu posted that message on Friends Circle.
While Bo Yan’s fans were filled with righteous indignation, they also breathed a sigh of relief, especially since Xia Siyu!s post was in Friends Circle, signifying a clear break, leaving no need to worry about any secret affair between the two.
But even with their relief, the fans were outraged. What had Bo Yan ever done to deserve such insults from her?
Thus, without either party’s knowledge, Bo Yan’s fans rallied once again, and this time, not even Song Fengzhi’s attempts to contact the fan club leaders could stem the fury of the multitude of fans. They furiously left comments on all of her 841 Weibo posts from the very beginning, controlling the comments section. They remembered Bo Yan’s previous admonitions to the fan club, forbidding them from insulting rivals with vulgarities or targeting female relatives. So the comments were uniformly filled with “Xia Siyu, damn you,” even trending on Weibo.
Fortunately, Xia Siyu had previously set a restriction that only those who followed her for more than seven days could leave comments, which blocked a large number of crude remarks. So, many fans silently followed her for over seven days just to leave the message: “l followed you for seven days just to curse you out.”
With the online commotion getting so big, Wei Jingjing was certainly aware of it. But since Xia Siyu was still filming, she didn’t want to disturb her, so she first contacted Qin Baizhou, who decisively banned comments on Xia Siyu’s Weibo, quelling much of the noise. Enraged fans then flooded her public page, and each comment was so bitterly crafted it would make one marvel at the depth and breadth of the Chinese language!
While Wei Jingjing was busy handling public relations, a call came in. It was from Song Fengzhi.. Once she answered, however, the voice on the other end was Bo Yan’s: “Where is Xia Siyu?”
