Lin Muxu wanted Uncle Li to turn back and find the police officer Bai Jian.
But the system told Lin Muxu.
“It’s too late.”
Lin Muxu was a bit angry.
“You did that on purpose, didn’t you?”
The system shrugged.
“I just received the news myself… Host, stop struggling. The first phase is a bust. You should see if you can rescue this little police officer in the following two phases.”
Lin Muxu took a deep breath. Uncle Li asked her.
“Young Miss, where are we going now?”
Lin Muxu replied sullenly.
“Home!”
…
She lay on her bed, still sulking.
Ms. Lin Cuiping came in to bring her milk. Seeing Lin Muxu looking so upset, she was a bit puzzled.
“Xiao Ci, what’s wrong?”
“Who made you unhappy? Is it those online haters? Don’t be angry. The trailer for your movie is being released tonight, isn’t it? Your performance will definitely be outstanding, and the haters will be proven wrong!”
Lin Muxu just remembered.
It seemed today was the day the trailer for the movie “Fang Fei Juedai” was to be released.
She perked up.
Didn’t the haters bet they would wash their hair upside down if she did well?
She took out her phone. It was exactly ten o’clock in the evening, and the trailer was released on time from the official account.
Lin Muxu’s fingertips slowly caressed the screen, then with a surge of energy, she clicked on the trailer.
The scene had a somewhat dim color tone. At the end of a long, rainy alley, a young girl held a flower, her beauty clear and elegant. Raindrops fell on her oiled-paper umbrella as she looked up at a black car in the distance, her eyes widening slightly in surprise.
When the man stepped out of the car, in military boots and uniform, his dark eyes were deep like mist, his emotions stirring the heart.
He met the girl’s gaze, an eternity in a single glance.
The camera slowly panned, unveiling the prelude to the story’s background. These two people seemed separated by a whole era of passing years.
This long take was shot exceptionally well, starting from an old man begging miserably under the distant bridge, to a paperboy caught in the rain, then to the bustling concession, foreign envoys in Western attire, and finally focusing on the girl as raindrops fell before her eyes.
The rise and fall of all beings were laid bare at a glance.
Shen Jin’an walked past her, glanced at her, and then brushed past.
This was the first shot of the trailer.
【It seems Lin Muxu is quite photogenic.】
【Putting her and Ling Qianhe together, they actually look quite harmonious, not at all overshadowed.】
【She looks so beautiful in the student uniform! So pure and elegant. Ah, she’s so domineering on stage, but how can she be so pure in the movie? If I were a man, I would be smitten too!】
【I specifically came to watch the haters wash their hair upside down!】
【Add 1! Hahaha, I also came specifically to watch the show!】
【Yes, haters wash their hair upside down!】
And that guy who had been so boastful had actually shown up.
【You guys are going too far! And although I said I’d wash my hair upside down if I was moved by Lin Muxu’s acting, this is just the beginning. Who knows how she actually acted!】
She was still being stubborn.
The trailer continued to play.
The warlord fell in love with the pure schoolgirl.
The entire process was natural, after all, she was beautiful and innocent.
During an extracurricular activity, she stood on stage speaking fluent foreign language about promoting women’s progress and awakening. Shen Jin’an was in the front row as a guest.
The man in the black suit stared at her intently, never relaxing his gaze.
There seemed to be a flame deep in his eyes, evident to anyone who looked, that he was interested in her.
The light in his eyes was scorching hot.
When she came down from the stage, he drove her home directly.
Everything unfolded naturally. A handsome and domineering man naturally had a hundred ways to make a woman fall for him.
Everyone watched with great interest.
Handsome man, beautiful woman, forceful acquisition – all the most delightful things!
But in the latter half of the trailer, starting from the confrontation scene in front of the glass cabinet on the upper floor.
Everything took a sharp turn.
The girl was pure and stubborn, refusing to yield before him.
Qi Qingling’s beauty was like a radiant flower blooming in despair, a cliff orchid that would never wither no matter the wind and rain.
She embraced him, but her eyes were filled with loneliness, the pain buried deep in her heart.
He called her a plaything. He said he would never feel pain for her.
She quietly swallowed the bitter taste herself.
The audience stared blankly at their scenes, and for some reason, a fine ache began to spread through their hearts.
【So heartbreaking.】
【National righteousness entangled with love and hate. Actually, Qi Qingling loved him, didn’t she… but this love was mixed with too many complex emotions, and she had no choice but to act this way. She had no other option.】
【Sob. I really can’t bear to watch.】
【Qianhe’s character is too cruel – why did he say such things? Why couldn’t he admit he had fallen in love with her? It pains my heart, liver, spleen, and kidneys.】
Everyone felt sorry for Lin Muxu’s Qi Qingling.
The haters fell silent for a long time.
The trailer continued.
Qi Qingling was imprisoned by Shen Jin’an. She tried every way to pass messages to get help, but he discovered her. She was carrying his child but wouldn’t see a tomorrow.
In the final scene, she was crying, and he reached out to hold her. She said, "Why don't we let each other go?" She said, "I don't owe you, and you don't owe me. Forget me."
She died in Shen Jin’an’s arms.
Everyone cried loudly.
【Shen Jin’an is such a scoundrel!】
【He deserves to chase after his wife with fire!】
【A dog worse than pigs and dogs!】
【Sob sob, as a fan of Brother Qianhe, I also want to curse Shen Jin’an severely! Qingling is so pitiful, sob! What mistake did she make to suffer like this!】
【Calm down upstairs, this is just a movie… but Brother Qianhe acted so infuriatingly well!】
【If I didn’t know Brother Qianhe was actually polite and gentle, I would almost think he was acting as himself.】
【Sob sob sob… I cried so hard, how can Qingling be so pitiful? Lin Muxu acted so well, the way her shoulders trembled made my heart tremble too. My little beauty, who could bear to see her suffer!】
Tears flowed like rivers.
【What about the one who was going to wash their hair upside down?】
After a long while.
The hater quietly replied.
【Gonna… gonna get tissues. I cried my blanket wet.】
【You guys… you guys just wait for me. I’ll film myself washing my hair upside down tomorrow morning!】
…
The next morning. The hater kept her word and actually posted a video of herself washing her hair upside down.
And to avoid being recognized by relatives and friends, she wore a funny Mickey Mouse mask.
“Ah hey!”
She struggled to stand on her head and then started washing her hair.
The onlookers were delighted, laughing heartily.
【Don’t badmouth Xiao Ci next time.】
【Heh heh, our Xiao Ci is famously good at proving people wrong! Whoever says she can’t act well, she’s beautiful, has a strong character, a top student, a singing and dancing idol, an actress. I don’t think there’s anything she can’t do.】
#LinMuxuHaterWashesHairUpsideDown# This video trended.
Initially, there wasn’t much of a stir.
But at noon, Ling Qianhe liked it with his main account.
This immediately caused a huge wave, and everyone rushed to watch. Some people who didn’t understand the context had enthusiastic fans explaining.
How the other party had slandered Lin Muxu’s acting, and how she had been proven wrong.
This made it even more lively.
More viewers then flocked to watch Lin Muxu’s acting, and the trailer’s view count also rose from twenty million to thirty million, and this was just overnight data.
Lin Muxu woke up.
She stretched lazily in bed.
The system eagerly rushed to report the good news to her.
“Host, your popularity has increased by zero point five!”
“Your current world popularity is five point five percent.”
Lin Muxu was not surprised at all. She lay in bed and browsed the comments for a while. She used her main account to repost the trailer and then took two selfies facing the sun.
Being a female star requires good engagement.
This was her self-discipline as an idol.
She was different from Ling Qianhe, who refused to post selfies.
Then she got up. She had to go to the television station today to discuss the upcoming variety show with Yang Weiyang and others. She had finished all her work related to Ling Qianhe. From now on, let him go wherever it’s cool.
She wanted to focus on her career!
Last night, Ling Qianhe said they would meet again.
She spat.
She didn’t want to see him at all. Every time she ran into him, nothing good happened.
She would absolutely not be pinned against a wall by him again, kissed until her lips were swollen and red.
