Huayu Entertainment: It was the young actress who took the initiative.

In the days that followed, the online public opinion did not subside; on the contrary, it intensified.

The discussion initially focused on Chen Mo's physique and athletic ability, but gradually evolved into questions about his acting skills and speculation about his background.

Some people have dug up photos and videos of the opening ceremony of "Eternal Love" and analyzed frame by frame how Yang Mi and Dilraba publicly defended Chen Mo at the ceremony.

An entertainment blogger with a million followers posted a long article with a catchy title:

"A Deep Dive into 'Rising Male God' Chen Mo: Is He a Resourceful Player or a Talented Actor?"

"Is it reasonable for a newcomer with no connections to get resources of the caliber of 'Eternal Love'?"

What's even more intriguing is that at the opening ceremony of "Eternal Love", Yang Mi and Dilraba Dilmurat clearly took extra care of him.

Why are these two so attentive to a newcomer?

"Do you believe there wasn't a quid pro quo behind this?"

The article concludes by saying, "Either Chen Mo has an amazing background, or he understands 'human relationships and social skills'."

The so-called self-disciplined and hardworking persona is nothing more than a carefully crafted marketing ploy.

This long article was widely shared, and the comment section quickly split into two camps.

Supporters believe that Chen Mo is a resource-driven person who rose to power through connections.

"There aren't that many inspirational stories in the entertainment industry. Frankly, it's all about having powerful backers!"

Opponents insist that Chen Mo earned his reputation through merit:

"What if they're just really good at acting? They got their physique through hard work, they earned their opportunities through their abilities, what's wrong with that?"

However, as public opinion fermented, some netizens who had initially remained neutral began to waver:

"To be honest, Chen Mo's resources are ridiculously good..."

"Besides, if he really didn't have any connections, would someone as shrewd as Yang Mi be so attentive to him?"

"Let's wait for 'Eternal Love' to air. We'll see what it's like then."

Public opinion began to shift towards questioning whether Chen Mo was a "connected person" or a "resource-backed person".

The atmosphere in Chen Mo's Weibo fan group has been very depressing these past few days.

"Ladies, someone's badmouthing Chen Mo again!"

Someone forwarded a new negative post.

"I'll go lane!" someone immediately responded.

"What's the point of arguing? The more you argue with them, the more excited they get."

"But it's so infuriating! Chen Mo is clearly not that kind of person!"

Tian Xiwei silently scrolled through the group chat, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She believed Chen Mo wasn't the "resource-backed star" the internet claimed, but those doubts weren't entirely unfounded...

Indeed, there are some parts that are difficult to explain.

After all, what makes a newcomer think he can get a role in such a big production?

She opened Chen Mo's Weibo homepage.

The comment section of the Weibo post that forwarded the Running Man trailer has been flooded with criticism, half of which is from fans defending the show and the other half from haters attacking it.

Chen Mo himself has remained silent.

Aside from forwarding promotional materials for "Eternal Love," they haven't even offered a single word of clarification.

This silence has caused some fans to waver.

"Why isn't Chen Mo saying anything...?"

"Is he really... feeling guilty?"

"Although I believe him, shouldn't he at least give some kind of statement?"

Tian Xiwei looked at these discussions, a hint of worry appearing in her eyes. After thinking for a moment, she sent a message in the group:

"Trust Chen Mo, and wait for 'Eternal Love' to air. We'll know whether it's good or bad after watching it."

This statement temporarily calmed the emotions in the group, but the seeds of doubt had already been sown.

……

However, Chen Mo, who was at the center of the storm, had been living an unusually regular life these past few days.

He gets up early every morning to run and exercise.

It was as if the noise on the internet had nothing to do with him.

Wang Lihua said with some concern, "Chen Mo, do you really not need to respond? Public opinion is very unfavorable to you right now."

"What should we respond to?"

As Chen Mo looked at the business endorsements that Sister Wang had compiled, he asked in return:

"Should I say I didn't get the role through connections? Or should I say I got it through my own abilities? Will saying these things now shut them up?"

"But……"

"Sister Wang, at times like this, explanations are the least useful thing to do."

Chen Mo put down the file, looked at Sister Wang, and smiled:

The more you talk, the more they think you're guilty.

"Once the work is released and they see it, they'll naturally shut up."

Seeing his confident demeanor, Wang Lihua felt a little more at ease.

As an agent, she has seen too many artists give up on themselves under the pressure of online criticism.

Chen Mo's approach was indeed correct, since any explanation would only appear weak and powerless when no strong evidence could be presented.

However, Chen Mo's phone has been quite busy these past few days.

Dilraba sends him messages almost every day to comfort him:

"Chen Mo, don't believe what you see online, it's all nonsense!"

"Don't worry, I know, it's okay."

"Why don't you post something on Weibo? Your fans are very worried about you."

"Let's wait for the show to air; there's no point in saying anything now."

Li Qin's words of comfort were brief, but one could feel the trust he placed in him:

"The innocent will clear themselves; we all know your acting skills."

"Thank you, Sister Lin."

Bai Mengyan, on the other hand, was filled with righteous indignation:

"I'm so angry! Those people are slandering you! I'm going to create a new account and yell back at them!"

"No, there's no need."

Li Yitong's message: "Chen Mo, don't worry about it. The truth will come out when the show airs."

Chen Mo replied to the message:

"Thank you, Yitong."

Meng Ziyi was quite empathetic:

"I've been targeted by malicious people before, so I know how unpleasant it feels. If you're feeling down and want to talk to someone, I'm always available."

Naza also sent his concern:

"Chen Mo, are you alright? Those people online are awful!"

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

"How about we work out together? To relax a bit."

"I've been a bit busy lately, maybe next time."

Jing Tian's message was even more direct:

"Do you need any help? I have some connections in the media."

"No need, thank you, Sister Tian."

Everyone offers comfort in their own way, but the sentiment is always genuine.

Other friends, such as Wang Yanlin and Deng Lun, also sent messages of concern, and Chen Mo replied to each of them, with similar messages:

"I'm fine, I'll be fine once the show airs."

This wasn't just a perfunctory response; it was his true thought.

He had witnessed too much of the ups and downs of the entertainment industry in his previous life, having been outside of it.

Those who praise you to the skies today may trample you to the ground tomorrow.

Today they might criticize you as worthless, but tomorrow they might praise you for your extraordinary talent.

At this point, the only way to prove oneself is to wait for the premiere of "Eternal Love".

So he needs to stay calm now.

The release date for "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" has been set.

There are only a few days left until the premiere.

At that time, the character of Donghua Dijun will be presented to the audience.

Whether an act is good or bad, the market and the audience will have their own judgment.

As for those people's doubts and slander...

Thinking of this, Chen Mo turned off his phone and walked to the window.

Outside the window, Beijing is brightly lit as night falls.

Let the bullets fly a little longer...

The show is about to begin.
