Chapter 96 - Chapter 96: The Reaction Was Too Exaggerated

Chapter 96: The Reaction Was Too Exaggerated

Translator: Zayn_

Overnight, the public opinion was reversed.

Not to mention the furious Qiu Yu, even Song Qingyou didn’t expect this.

She was a little confused when she saw that her latest Weibo comment was full of praises.

After thinking about it, she replied to her fans.

[ Acting’s just my job. What’s the point of praising me? Aren’t you all working every day? If you want to praise someone, praise yourselves.]

[ Being a celebrity is just a normal job. If they don’t do a good job, they need to learn and improve. Your reactions are too exaggerated.]

Compared to most artistes who would either pretend to be demure and say ‘it’s okay’ or ‘I’ll continue to work hard’, Song Qingyou’s replies were refreshing.

Her casual words always gave people the feeling that ‘we are all workers.’

In fact, Song Qingyou really thought so.

Therefore, her reply was screenshotted and sent out by her fans, and she gained a lot of new fans.

Many people who supported Qiu Yu deleted their recent Weibo posts and became as quiet as chickens.

There were also some who did not believe in the rumors. They boldly tagged @Cui Xuelin and asked him if this was true.

Cui Xuelin was old and hardly used Weibo, so they knew that he wouldn’t respond.

Some unscrupulous media outlets seized on this point and began to suspect that the photo of ‘Rabbit’s Maverick’ might have been photoshopped.

Qiu Yu’s fans also swarmed over.

At this time, Song Qingyou naturally couldn’t pay attention to them.

Even though there were kind-hearted people who came forward to explain for her, Song Qingyou still went ahead with her plan. When filming, she would let the production team record it and release it under the guise of leaks.

Today was mainly Song Qingyou and Yu Muhuai’s scene.

In the play, Xihe traveled back in time and gradually left Taichu. She decided to be with Tianxuan Immortal.

The two of them stood facing each other.

Song Qingyou quickly got into character.

Xihe, who had just avoided Taichu, met Immortal Tianxuan head-on.

“Tianxuan?” Xihe was surprised. “Why are you here?”

“I…” Tianxuan stopped in his tracks. “I came to find you.”

“Did something happen?” Xihe asked, confused.

Tianxuan shook his head, his expression conflicted.

In the end, he pursed his lips and looked at Xihe in front of him. “Have you really decided to sign a contract with me?”

Facing Xihe, Tianxuan was not confident.

There was also a strong love that could not be concealed.

Yu Muhuai’s expression was extremely accurate. Behind the camera, Xu Mingrui was pleasantly surprised.

“It seems that Yu Muhuai is in good condition today!”

At this moment, Xihe was slightly stunned. “Why are you suddenly asking this?”

Tianxuan thought that she was denying it. He lowered his eyes and said, “If you’re unwilling, then the matter of signing the contract… Why don’t we just forget about it!”

Xihe quickly grabbed his hand. “I’m willing! I just… thought you might be regretting asking this.”

Tianxuan turned around and held her hand. He said in a low voice, “No, I won’t go back on my word! Never!”

“Cut!”

“This scene is over!”

Xu Mingrui smiled and said, “Muhuai, if you were in this state every day, you would probably be able to do all your scenes in one go!”

“Maybe not.” Yu Muhuai took the water from his assistant. “I’m acting with Qingyou this time. Her acting skills are good, so I can get into character faster.”

Xu Mingrui nodded. “Your gaze just now was really on point. I specially took a close-up shot…By the way, did you have a crush on someone? Otherwise, how could you have such feelings?”

“No.” Yu Muhuai shook his head.

“You’re gifted then.”

After chatting for a while, Xu Mingrui went to watch the video recorded by the staff.

In the morning, when the video of Song Qingyou and Yu Muhuai’s scene was released, it caused a heated discussion.

[ I finally know what it means to have a glance for ten thousand years! Sister Qingyou is too beautiful! What’s the point of life if you can’t marry Sister Qingyou?]

[ All female protagonists in Xianxia novels have faces now.]

[ Sister Qingyou, you’ve worked hard to descend to the mortal world (v)~]

[ Yu Muhuai is good-looking. I haven’t seen such a handsome actor in a long time.]

[ Song-Yu are getting married in the drama! Hurry up and help me cheer them on!]

[ Both of them have good acting skills. They don’t look like newbies at all.]

Most of the comments below the video were praises.

Even if there were people who say something bad, no one dared to say that Song Qingyou’s appearance was not good.

At the same time, a video of an entertainment reporter interviewing Cui Xuelin from A University’s performance department became a hot topic.

In the video, Cui Xuelin had just come out of his class.

“Professor Cui, do you know an artist named Song Qingyou?”

“Of course I know her!” Cui Xuelin nodded. “Qingyou is a very talented actress. She works very hard…”

Cui Xuelin got straight to the point at the mention of his favorite disciple.

In the end, he even took out his phone to show the reporter the chat history of the V-mail.

The content of his chat with Song Qingyou was almost all about the performance.

It wasn’t difficult to see from this how many related works Song Qingyou had read in private and how serious she was about acting.

“Someone asked you on Weibo if you knew Song Qingyou. Why didn’t you respond?” the reporter asked.

“Weibo?” Cui Xuelin waved his hand. “1 don’t really use Weibo!”

“Qingyou, this child, she really didn’t tell me anything.”

The muttering at the end of the video sounded like an elder complaining about his own child!

This time, even if the small artiste who asked @Cui Xuelin about Song Qingyou on Weibo deleted his Weibo in time, he had already become a clown in the eyes of others.

With the video of Song Qingyou filming and the testimony of an authoritative figure like Cui Xuelin, it would be no different from hitting a brick wall to criticize Song Qingyou’s poor acting skills before the broadcast of The Immortal Demon.

So the next day, all the articles about Song Qingyou’s lack of professionalism and poor acting skills disappeared.

Instead, there were articles about how Song Qingyou disrespected her seniors and publicly dissed Qiu Yu.

However, this accusation did not cause much trouble.

Some people even felt that Song Qingyou was right.

Later on, there was an extra from Qiu Yu’s production team who revealed that Qiu Yu’s heatstroke was indeed because she kept having NGs. In the end, the director asked her to rest, but she was still unwilling…

Fortunately, Qiu Yu had been apologizing previously. Otherwise, it would have become a scene of a large-scale loss of fans.

Qiu Yu was about to go crazy from anger. The more it was like this, the more she couldn’t get into character. In the end, she was ordered by the director to read the script more.

Not long after she sat down, she reached out to her assistant. “Bring me your phone. Show me the video of Song Qingyou being praised for her acting skills!” “Sister Yu, Brother Li said it’s best if you don’t look…”

“Give it to me!” Qiu Yu reached out and snatched it over.

“I’d like to see how good Song Qingyou’s acting is. Even Cui Xuelin praised her!”

Qiu Yu was very unconvinced before watching it, but when she finished watching it, she was filled with anger.

“She clearly knows how to act. Why didn’t she act properly before? Only an idiot would believe that she could make such great progress in such a short period of time!”

As she spoke, she thought of the bet between the two of them.

“F*ck, Song Qingyou didn’t bet with me on purpose, did she?!”

“Sis,” the assistant reminded her softly, “This is a tribute drama. It’s useless no matter how much she jumps around!”

“That’s-”

Qiu Yu’s lips curled up as she stared at the two people who were looking at each other affectionately in the video. The thoughts in her mind began to coincide with Shen Xiyan’s..
