Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 396 Shuangzi: Die! Die, all of you!! (5k)
……

……

Gu Qing unlocked her phone and looked down at it.

On the blog page, Shuangzi's latest post was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples.

"I'm so sad, I can't sleep..."

I used to like 'Bei Weiwei' so much, and I thought I had finally met a team that understood me.

I've always kept in mind what Producer Fang said to me: "You are Bei Weiwei." I turned down other jobs to prepare wholeheartedly, and I was even willing to pay the lowest possible salary to have a chance to fulfill my dream.

I thought sincerity would be reciprocated, but I was met with nothing.

Just before I was about to turn it on, I was suddenly told it was 'inappropriate'... and a perfunctory 'sorry' was all that was said.

Am I too naive and foolish?
It turns out that in some people's eyes, promises can be made casually.

It's okay, I'm used to it. I just feel bad for my fans, I've let you down.

In this industry, perhaps hard work and passion alone aren't enough. [Goodbye]
#Love O2O##Bei Weiwei#

This blog post, seemingly weak and helpless, is actually incisive and cutting.

Shuangzi didn't directly launch into a tirade, but phrases like "said personally," "minimum pay," "told she wasn't suitable just before filming started," and "used to it" were used to it.
It accurately portrays the image of a hardworking, innocent, and bullied girl, and points the finger at the production team's breach of trust and the possible existence of unspoken rules such as "resource-backed actors" replacing the original cast.

Now things really got really lively.

How large is the number of Zhengzi's fans, the "little official fans"?
In particular, her popularity with the "Meteor Shower" series made her a "campus ideal" for a generation.

In the hearts of countless passersby, she remains the stubborn "Chu Yuxun" who is as resilient as a weed.

now,

Seeing their "white moonlight" suffer such injustice, the "little originals" instantly lost control of their emotions, and their anger spread like wildfire.

"Who?! Who dares to bully our baby like this?!"

"I'm so angry and chilled! Can the entertainment industry ever recover?!"

"I can't believe that even in this day and age, such underhanded tactics still exist! Disgusting!"

"A corner-stealing dog won't get a house!!"

"Baby, don't be afraid, we will always be your strongest support!!"

A massive influx of "little genuine fans" flooded the official blog of "Love O2O".

The comment section was instantly flooded with angry denunciations, with harsh words and profanities pouring in, as if they wanted to devour the official Weibo account alive.

quickly,

Some people have linked this incident to another major piece of recent news.

"Love O2O? Isn't that the drama that officially announced Gu Qing as the male lead a few days ago?"

"Holy crap! Case solved! It must be some backer who saw Gu Qing playing the male lead, knew this drama was bound to be a hit, and used their connections to squeeze our Xiao Shuang out!"

"Acting alongside Gu Qing is like a pig flying! This guy's clearly just here to reap the benefits!"

"Who is that shameless nepotism recruit?! Come out and face the consequences!!"

Thinking of my little Shuang,

She was originally poised to collaborate with Gu Qing, currently one of the most sought-after celebrities, and use this opportunity to further her career, but her chance was ruthlessly snatched away.
The "little originals" were so angry their eyes turned red!
They are so eager to see Xiao Shuang return to her peak.

In the entire Chinese entertainment industry, which female artist's fans don't hope that their idol can collaborate with Gu Qing?

Gu Qing has an outstanding appearance, a good reputation, solid works, and is widely recognized by the mainstream. She is almost universally recognized as a model of "popularity and strength".

now,

This golden opportunity was snatched away right before their eyes! One can only imagine the grief and indignation of the "little originals".

A massive manhunt was launched. They vowed to dig three feet into the ground and find the culprit who had stolen their love!

now,

The most panicked group was the crew of "Love O2O".

When the producer and team saw this blog post, they felt dizzy and almost fainted.

They were both shocked and furious, never expecting Shuangzi to act so unpredictably, and she flipped the table.

"Is she crazy?! Does she even want to work in this industry anymore?!"

"Doesn't she know the consequences of doing this?!"

But Sawako didn't seem to care about the consequences at all; she just wanted to vent her anger first.

The production team, without even having time to vent their frustrations, held an emergency meeting and quickly issued a clarification statement:
"Formal statement: Recently, false rumors have appeared online that actress Chu Yuxun will play the female lead 'Bei Weiwei' in our TV series 'Love O2O'."

We hereby solemnly clarify that we have never had any formal contractual agreement with Ms. Zheng Shuang regarding her role as 'Bei Weiwei', and the casting process has always adhered to the principles of fairness and impartiality.

We reserve the right to pursue legal action against such malicious rumors and defamation of our production team.

Thank you for your attention. Please refer to official announcements for all actor information.

The statement was issued quickly and urgently, with a strong tone, and even included a "lawyer's letter" warning.

They dared not delay in the slightest, partly because they feared the public outcry would continue to escalate; and partly, and most importantly—they had already signed the actual leading lady.
If the powerful and influential Miss Jing Tian were to be cyberbullied, could their production team withstand the wrath of that young lady and the capital behind her?
not to mention,
Their formal contract with Gu Qing's team hasn't even gone through the final stages. If this whole farce makes Gu Qing's team feel that the production team is poorly managed and too risky, and they choose to withdraw,
Then they would truly have lost both their wife and their army, and they would be in no position to even cry.

however,
The production team's hasty and blustering statement, in the eyes of onlookers, seemed more like a sign of their guilty conscience.

In response to the production team's "lawyer's letter warning,"
Shuangzi's response was even more decisive—without saying a word, she directly posted several screenshots of her WeChat chat history!

The screenshot contains clear annotations.

It was Fang, the producer of "Love O2O".

The content of the conversation was even more heartbreaking for the "official" fans:

Yu Xun: "Teacher Fang, I really like the character Bei Weiwei. I feel a strong connection with her."

Regarding my salary, I can lower it by half, I just ask that you give me a chance, and I promise I won't let you down!

Producer Fang: (Initially responded positively, with an appreciative tone)

Yuqian: (Continue to make efforts and express sincerity)
Producer Fang: (Later, his attitude reversed, and he apologized, saying the role had been reassigned)...

These screenshots, each with a timeline, resemble a complete mini-documentary, clearly showing how Shuangzi went from being full of hope and willing to take a pay cut to ultimately experiencing the disillusionment of her hopes.

"Aaaaaaah!!! That's so shameless!!"

"I cried while watching this. I feel so sorry for Xiao Shuang! She's already humbled herself to this extent, why do they still treat her like this!"

"She took a 50% pay cut! She gave so much, and this is the result she got!"

"Trash production crew! They're untrustworthy! May they die a horrible death!"

Some fans, enraged beyond measure, even went to the blog of "Hantangzhu" (a nickname for a popular online figure).

One commenter, furious at his lack of backbone, wrote: "Zhang Han! Are you even a man?! Your woman has been bullied like this, and you're not even going to stand up and say something?!"

Hanzi, who was innocently mentioned, felt like a million alpacas were stampeding through his mind when he saw himself caught in the "Shuangzi storm" again and the comment section was flooded.

"I'm telling you, you son of a bitch!!"

The owner of Hantang could probably only roar in his heart.

Why can't he have peace with his ex-boyfriend?
As if under a spell, whenever Shuangzi makes the slightest move, former CP fans always come to "remind" him that they are still the same couple whose relationship is "unresolved".

This situation,

Just like the previous CP fans of Gu Qing and Yang Ying, these fans are so deeply attached to the CP that they can't shake them off.

At this moment, Han Tangzhu just wanted to go underwater and get away from this place of trouble.

He knew that when Shuangzi showed the screenshot, it was almost like declaring war on the "rules" that the entire industry had agreed upon.

You can complain in private, but bringing things that are not public to the forefront, especially in such a direct and name-calling manner, will make any production team dare to hire her in the future.
However, right now...

At least in the public opinion arena, Shuangzi won.

These irrefutable screenshots not only rallied fans to their cause and boosted their morale, but also garnered sympathy and support from a large number of casual observers.

In an instant, a deluge of accusations and insults swept across every social media account of the "Love O2O" production team.

"Oh no, what do we do now?"

"What else can we do? Play dead! Quickly, take down all the posters and press releases that were originally going to officially announce Jing Tian's relationship!"
Sending it out now would be like pushing her into a fire pit!

For two consecutive days, the crew of "Love O2O" adopted the tactic of "playing dead while submerged".

The "little originals" are fierce, but the target never shows up, leaving them feeling powerless, like punching cotton.

then,

They devoted more of their energy to the task of "finding the real culprit" and vowed to find that damned "connection"!
Based on clues found online, they launched a large-scale "investigation" operation.

The first to suffer this undeserved misfortune was none other than Yang Mi. "Could it be Yang Mi?"

"Very likely! She looks very calculating; hasn't she been constantly marketing herself as an asset?"

"I remember in the last interview, when Xiao Shuang admitted to having plastic surgery, Yang Mi's face turned dark. She must be holding a grudge against Xiao Shuang!"

"Yes! And the production team just officially announced Gu Qing the day before, marketing accounts released articles saying that Yang Mi is 'the chosen Bei Weiwei'!"

The "official" fans, having nowhere else to vent their frustrations, immediately turned their guns on Yang Mi's blog and related news comment sections.

After a long day of work, exhausted, Da Mimi habitually opened her phone to surf the internet and relax, only to feel like the sky was falling.

On the trending search list, a single term was prominently displayed:
"#Yang Mi suspected of replacing Chu Yuxun#".

"Who?! Who the hell is messing with me behind my back?!"

Da Mimi suddenly sat up from the sofa, her chest heaving with anger, and immediately swore.

Based on her years of experience in the industry, she knows without a doubt that this trending topic was likely bought by her rivals or opportunists trying to ride the wave of popularity to sabotage her.

as predicted,

Upon clicking, one finds numerous marketing accounts using press releases from her team that claimed "Yang Mi is the chosen one, Bei Weiwei," etc., to generate buzz.

They meticulously analyzed and reasoned, portraying her as a suspect in the corner robbery.

Da Mimi was trembling with anger. She was always the one scheming against others; when had she ever suffered such humiliation?

Wronged!

That's so unfair!!
Her reaction was extremely swift; she immediately mobilized her public relations team to issue an emergency denial, release a formal statement, and send lawyer's letters directly to several of the most vocal marketing accounts.

She herself quickly posted on her blog, clarifying succinctly: "I am not Bei Weiwei, please do not disturb me [eating melon]".

It was just a baseless rumor, and under the strong suppression of Da Mimi's team, the trending topic was quickly suppressed.

Yang Mi successfully proved her innocence.

However, the "little original" fans who had been cursing for so long realized they had cursed the wrong person, but instead of feeling apologetic, they thought with a clear conscience: "Anyway, my Xiao Shuang has had a grudge against her, so it's not entirely wrong to curse her."

Sisters, let's go! Let's go to the next place!

They came in a grand spectacle, leaving behind a mess, and then left.

Looking at the vile insults in her comment section, and the malicious photoshopped images and comments from her "little originals" mocking her early "square face,"

Da Mimi was so angry that she couldn't sleep all night.

This feud is now truly over.

If things had ended there, Shuangzi might have been considered the victor in the war of public opinion.

Although it may sever many future collaborations in film and television, it has garnered a lot of sympathy and popularity from the general public, and may well allow it to move into areas such as variety shows.

Can be biased,
Shuangzi seems to be addicted to the feeling of being pampered and noticed by the entire internet, and hopes that this "war" can continue.

After all, the bigger the scandal, the fewer people pay attention to her chaotic private life and controversial remarks, which makes her feel a distorted sense of "security" and "happiness".

Fans are unwilling to give up until the "real culprit" is found.

As a result, the war began to spread and escalate uncontrollably.

"If it's not Yang Mi, then who else could it be?"

"It couldn't have been Gu Qing who changed it herself, could it?"

"Probably not. Gu Qing has always had a good reputation, and I've never heard of him interfering in casting."

"Could it be... an actress who's particularly close to Gu Qing? She wanted to take this opportunity to work with him, so she squeezed out Xiao Shuang?"

"Very likely! Go ask him!"

The "little originals" immediately changed direction and flooded into Gu Qing's blog comment section.

At first, they maintained a degree of politeness:

"Hello Gu Qing, I'm a fan of Yu Xun. I'd like to ask if you know who the final female lead has been confirmed?"

"Gu Qing, I'm a fan of both you and Shuangzi. I'm very sorry that you can't work together. You must also be very dissatisfied with this casting change, right?"

"Gu Qing, please say something!!"

however,
As time went on, some extreme "brainless fans" began to lose patience, and their words became more aggressive:
"You're no better! As the male lead, you can't even protect the female lead you're working with. Are you even a man?!"

Hanzi: "Awesome!!!"

"He didn't dare answer a single question, hiding and dawdling, what was he afraid of? He really is a sissy!"

"We'll just pay you to talk! 666 per time, is that enough?!"

The 'little originals' have taken it for granted.

What they referred to as paid Q&A is actually a new Q&A feature that the blog added this year.

Bloggers can set up paid Q&A sessions, ranging from one yuan to a maximum of 666.66 yuan.

But not many people are willing to use it.

Especially for celebrities, it's impossible to answer fans' questions in this way; it would be too unseemly and degrading.

Can be biased,
Shuangzi then launched a large-scale paid Q&A event.

Charging 666 yuan to answer a fan's question shocked people in the industry and sparked considerable controversy.

They saw an opportunity to make money easily.

In March, Shuangzi even took the initiative to ask her fans in the fan group to pay a membership fee of 200 yuan.

In ways that seem incomprehensible to outsiders

But the "little fans" are enjoying it, thinking that spending a little money to interact with their idols can really enhance their relationship.

"I'll test your mother! What a despicable piece of trash, get out of here!!"

"My brother doesn't need your stinking money??"

"With 'Detective Chinatown' grossing 3 billion yuan, my brother is making so much money he can't even count it all. That's enough for your 'paid idol' to answer questions for a lifetime!!"

"You're leeching off your fans just to answer a question? Your behavior is so disgusting, get out of here!!"

"Thank goodness my brother didn't cooperate with you guys, otherwise he'd be covered in your stench, disgusting!!"

When the Gu family members saw their younger brother being humiliated like this, they were all furious and felt they had been greatly insulted.

They initially felt some pity for Sawako,

She even felt a little regretful that she couldn't collaborate with her younger brother.

Seeing these shameless comments, I felt absolutely no sympathy.

"You're getting anxious! You're all getting anxious!"

"It's quite possible that Gu Qing is trying to promote her own people and has teamed up to kick our Xiao Shuang out of the game!"

"It wasn't you! Tell me! Who is the female lead?!"

The "little originals" remain relentless, displaying astonishing fighting power.

But how could the Gu family members be weaklings?
The two sides engaged in a fierce war of words in the comment section of Gu Qing's blog and on related topics, and for a time it was difficult to determine a winner.

The entire blog's trending topics list has become a showcase for female celebrities' "suspects" and a battlefield where various forces clash.

#Liu Shishi suspected of playing Bei Weiwei#

#Zhao Liying suspected of playing Bei Weiwei#

"#TangYan posted a photo with Gu Man, seemingly indicating she's been chosen as the female lead by the original author#"

"#Shocking! Liu Yifei reveals she wants to collaborate with Gu Qing; is she the real 'Bei Weiwei'?#"

Some of these trending topics are attempts by rivals to smear others, while others are attempts by one's own team to gain attention and create hype. It's hard to tell what's true and what's false.

However, almost every female celebrity who makes it to the top of the trending searches will be met with a round of indiscriminate attacks and insults from her "little original" fans.

"You're facing me, and you still dare to get distracted and start hurling insults at someone else?!"

The Gu family members were furious and were about to gather all their strength to crush Shuangzi's blog and seek justice for their younger brother.

Just as this chaos reached its peak, the official Weibo account of "Love O2O," which had been dormant for a long time, suddenly "came back to life" and publicly reposted a blog post.

The person who posted this tweet is none other than Gu Man, the original author of "Love O2O".

She finally couldn't take it anymore and intervened herself.

And her target was clear and unmistakable—the instigator of this storm, "Shuangzi"!
