Huayu: This celebrity doesn't follow the rules.

Chapter 82 The Fan Circle War and Chen Yao's Desire to Improve
Zheng Shuang's fans, the "official" ones, have completely gone crazy.

Among fans in the entertainment industry, when it comes to fighting power, the official fans are definitely among the top.

The main reason is that Zheng Shuang attracted a group of teenage fans starting with her debut work, "Meteor Shower".

Young and impetuous, daring and aggressive.

More importantly, the "genuine personality" persona she has always cultivated, and all her crazy outbursts are due to her true personality.

Her fans felt sorry for Zheng Shuang's "vulnerability" and thought the whole world was bullying her, while they kept fighting for her in the public opinion field.

In their eyes, Zheng Shuang is kind, innocent, and genuine.

No matter the situation, fans hold the same attitude: What bad intentions could Aya have?
Therefore, Sister Shuangzi is also known as the most resilient female artist in the entertainment industry.

You know, back then, even a single tear from Sister Shuangzi could break the hearts of her fans.

Nazha was dating Zhang Han, and her fans criticized her so much that she had to close the comments section.

However, the most outrageous thing was that after Sister Shuangzi's incident, many fans left messages for Zhang Han.

"Could you go and hug Soko? If you still love her, she needs you right now!"

"If what happened with Xiaoqiang is true, let's help Xiaoqiang and have a reconciliation of the century!"

I wonder how much psychological trauma Zhang Han suffered back then...

The influential account "Guardian of the Best Xiaogong" published a long article immediately:

"Some people steal from others and then pretend to be innocent?"

The accompanying image shows Zheng Shuang looking down and pursing her lips with a wronged expression on Happy Camp, along with a blurry screenshot of a chat log.

A source, allegedly from within the production team, revealed that Meng Ziyi brought her own investment to the project.

The comment section was instantly flooded with "official" content:
"Take Xiao Shuang away! Some people are behaving terribly!"

"Who does Meng Ziyi think she is? Does a web series actress have the right to steal Zheng Shuang's role?"

"Zheng Shuang is the real Bei Weiwei! Book fans don't accept actors who steal the role!"

Under the trending topic, the top twenty comments were all written by Zheng Shuang's fans, overwhelmingly leading in likes.

Her fans quickly sprang into action, digging up dirt, creating memes, and spreading them!
Various negative stories about Meng Ziyi have emerged one after another.

They said she acted badly and acted like a diva when filming Princess...

He slept with the director for a role...

They dug up Meng Ziyi's unedited photos from her high school days and compared them to her current appearance, forcibly analyzing "changes in the curvature of her nose" and "jaw reduction surgery."

The hashtag #MengZiyi'sHeadTransformation# trended on the entertainment charts.

They also fabricated chat logs, claiming that Meng Ziyi's agent contacted the producer of "Love O2O" privately, promising to bring investment.

Despite its numerous flaws, it spread extremely quickly.

Meng Ziyi's latest Weibo post, a simple selfie, saw the number of comments surge to over 5 within half an hour, with the top comments being entirely "official" ones.

"Those who steal roles, get out of the entertainment industry!"

"You're picking up roles that Zheng Shuang doesn't want? How low is that?"

"I suggest we investigate who the financial backer is; they have such powerful connections."

Some people even photoshopped Meng Ziyi's face onto a still from the TV series "Journey to the West" featuring the White Bone Demon, with the caption: "Isn't this your true self?"

Fortunately, Zheng Shuang only had about 260 million followers on Weibo at this time, far from reaching the peak of his later career. However, he was a skilled fighter and had a wealth of experience in this kind of infighting.

Zheng Shuang's fans launched a swift and fierce attack, but Meng Ziyi's fan group, the Yimi, although short-lived, is not a pushover.

Since the hit drama "Princess Promotion" aired a month ago, Meng Ziyi's Weibo followers have increased to 300 million.

And so, the fan war began...

……

Twilight Club is located in a high-rise building in Yanjing CBD. The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows offer views of the city lights, while the glass curtain wall reflects the deep blue night sky, making it seem like a secret realm suspended in the clouds.

The interior of the club is decorated in dark gray and dark gold tones, with soft lighting and deep jazz piano music that won't disturb conversations but will just right cover up the whispers at the next table.

Each booth is designed as a semi-enclosed curved sofa, providing excellent privacy!

When Jiang Ye pushed open the door to the private room, Chen Yao was already sitting inside.

Today she wore a dark green velvet dress, which made her skin look as white as snow, and her long hair was slightly curled and loosely hung over her shoulders.

When she saw him come in, she looked up and smiled, her eyes slightly upturned, exuding a sexy charm.

"Director Jiang, it's been a long time."

Jiang Ye sat down opposite her and smiled politely: "Senior Chen, it really has been a long time."

"There's been a huge uproar online lately. Is Meng Ziyi alright?"

She paused for a moment, then said, "Although we are in the same year, we are in different classes and don't have much contact with each other."

Jiang Ye remained calm: "It's nothing, just some pointless hype."

Chen Yao took a sip of wine, cheered himself up, and looked out at the dazzling night view.

Ever since Cai Yinong talked to her last time, she hesitated for a long time about whether to come and see Jiang Ye.

To be honest, she was still somewhat resentful. She really didn't have any connections in the entertainment industry.

Born on the day of Frost's Descent in 1994 in Panzhihua, Sichuan Province, her father was a civil servant and her mother worked in a state-owned enterprise.

This girl, who grew up in a heavy industrial city, had the greatest joy in her childhood: imitating ancient costume characters in TV dramas, wrapping a bed sheet around her skirt and running through the alleys.

When she had to choose between arts and sciences in her second year of high school, she chose science. Her father hoped she would become a police officer, while her mother expected her to study medicine.

The turning point came in the second semester of the second year of high school.

When the art exam training class teacher found her on campus, this 168cm tall girl with delicate features was reciting chemistry formulas in the corridor.

The teacher's words, "You were born to do this," were like a spark, igniting her dormant desire to perform.

But her parents' opposition was like a wall: "We don't have any connections, don't daydream."

Shortly after the Spring Festival in 2013, 18-year-old Chen Yao made a surprising move.

She secretly saved up 5000 yuan of her New Year's money and boarded a train to Yanjing without telling her parents.

In her rented 10-square-meter room in the basement, she practiced her lines every day while eating instant noodles, and imagined stage lighting while looking at the leaky ceiling.

To save money, she shared a room with two classmates. The three of them shared a basin of hot water to wash up and used their cell phone flashlights to illuminate their recitation of the monologue from "Thunderstorm".

She only applied to the Beijing Film Academy because Chen Kun graduated from there!

This almost obsessive persistence allowed her to display a determination beyond her years during the interview.

In the preliminary recitation segment, she chose the monologue from "Palace of Desire" where Princess Taiping unveils the mask of the Kunlun slave. When she read the line "I have never seen such a bright face," soft applause came from the examiners' table.

In the second round of auditions, her impromptu detail of "wrapping a stray cat with a scarf" in the skit "Rainy Night Station" made the examiners remember this girl with a light in her eyes.

On the day the final results were released, she squatted under the locust tree in front of the Beijing Film Academy and cried for half an hour.

This girl, who came from a small town in Southwest China, used a month of instant noodles and countless late-night practice sessions to gain admission to China's top film and television academy.

Everything went smoothly for her after she entered the school.

She was quite proud when she was signed by Tangren Media during her sophomore year, feeling that she had taken a step ahead of her classmates in getting on the right track.

But after joining Tangren, I discovered that there was a top star, Liu Shishi, and a newcomer like Nezha who was being heavily promoted.

Moreover, Hu Bingqing, Jin Chen, and Xiao Caiqi are all exceptional individuals, and the internal competition for resources is extremely fierce!

Meanwhile, her classmate Meng Ziyi, who was originally just an ordinary newcomer, suddenly gained popularity after filming a low-budget web series with Jiang Ye.

Now she has even landed the female lead role in "Love O2O", which is a major IP for Gu Man!

Jiang Ye's power is actually that great?
She was getting restless!
Once you enter the entertainment industry, which female artist doesn't want to become famous?

To become famous, you need resources and a wealthy backer!
"What are you thinking about, senior?" Jiang Ye's voice interrupted her thoughts.

Chen Yao snapped out of her reverie, a slight smile playing on her red lips: "I was thinking... Junior, you're really a different person now."

She stood up, her skirt flowing like water across the sofa, and sat down directly next to him. "Do you still stand by what you said at school?"

Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow: "Which sentence?"

She leaned closer, her faint perfume lingering between them: "Then if I ever audition in the future, Director, please take good care of me."

Jiang Ye chuckled softly: "Of course it counts."

Chen Yao poured him a glass of wine, her fingertips inadvertently brushing against the back of his hand: "I wonder if I have a chance to play the role of Shen Yindeng in Director Jiang's new film 'Si Teng'?"

Her eyes shone brightly in the dim light.

Jiang Ye always felt that this girl looked remarkably like Ye Quanzhen...

When he was a child, his favorite character was Yanzi from the TV series "Chinese Dragon"...

So Jiang Ye got to work.

The moment Chen Yao's fingertips left the wine glass, her wrist was gently gripped by him, and the next second, a warm force gripped her waist.

She was pulled backward, her back hitting his chest. Her nose first caught the faint scent of cedar on his shirt, which mixed with the sandalwood in the club, creating a kind of overwhelming sense of aggression.

She was clearly stunned. Jiang Ye's arms weren't tightly wrapped around her, but they had an inescapable curve, trapping her in the small space between his embrace and the sofa.

The warm yellow light of the palace lanterns cut across him at an angle, casting a sharp shadow on his jawline. His breath fell behind her ear, warm and slightly alcoholic.

“Shen Yindeng…” His voice was very low, “I probably can’t give him this role.”

Chen Yao's eyelashes trembled, but she did not struggle.

She could feel the rise and fall of his chest, which made her legs feel weak even through his thin shirt.

She turned her head, her gaze sweeping over his tightly pursed lips: "Oh? Does Director Jiang think I'm not suitable, or..."

“Neither.” Jiang Ye interrupted her, loosening his grip on her fingertips before gently placing his hand on her waist. “The role was decided half a month ago, and I can’t break my promise.”

Chen Yao made a soft "hmm," slowly raising her fingertips to press against his chest, a gesture that seemed like a push but wasn't: "So, Director Jiang, what's going on here..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by his breath, which was even closer to hers.

His chin almost rested on her shoulder, his voice, warm and husky, reaching her ear: "But if you're willing to come to my company..."

He paused, then gently stroked her waist with his thumb. "I can put together a whole play just for you, as the female lead. I'll personally oversee the script, from the character design to the costumes, everything will be based on your appearance."
