Wan Yuan and Nuo Mi returned from the amusement park with Little Jinzi to find Xia Wei Liang sitting alone in the living room, blocking the curtains and watching an old movie.
The sheen of the black and white film cast flickering light on her face.
Hearing the door open, she slowly turned her head, her lips slowly pulling into a smile against the background of the television, revealing white teeth, and she let out a嘿嘿 grin…
“Ah~” Little Jinzi shrieked in fright.
“Don’t look!”
Song Yuan quickly covered the child’s eyes.
“Sister Wei Wei, are you going to mutate?” Nuo Mi quickly walked over and pulled open the curtains.
Song Yuan took Little Jinzi to wash her hands.
Xia Wei Liang sighed, leaning against the sofa with a look of utter despair, “I might have provoked a formidable one.”
Upon hearing this, Nuo Mi rushed over, her eyes wide, “Wearing red? Crawled out of the water or descended from the beam? Is the resentment heavy?”
Xia Wei Liang didn’t even look up, extending a hand to push away her small head, “Crawled out of the TV.”
“…Teacher Xi?”
“Alas, this damn charismatic personality of mine, it has once again drawn the attention of the Emperor of Acting, and I fear I will have no peace from now on.”
With that, she stood up and slowly paced back to her room.
Song Yuan came out and glanced in her direction, “How many ounces has she had to drink?”
Nuo Mi shook her head, “I think she’s been stimulated and started fantasizing.”
The two shrugged and went back to their own activities.
For the next three days, Xi En punctually appeared at Xia Wei Liang’s home without fail.
Concurrently, press releases about him personally teaching Xia Wei Liang acting skills were flying everywhere. Her fans, naturally, were delighted, as Xi En had an excellent reputation in the industry and his abilities were solid. With him guiding their idol, even a turnip could sprout on its own.
However, Xi En’s fans, the “Xi Mi Lu,” were not pleased!
【What’s going on with the company? Our Brother En just finished filming a Republican-era drama and before he could even rest, they’ve assigned him more work. Are they slave drivers?!】
【Can Xia Wei Liang stop ruining the handsome men in the industry? First the Film Emperor, then the Emperor of Acting. Is she collecting them?】
【Please! Who better to teach than her? Everyone knows her acting is notoriously bad!】
【Can the agent still do their job? If not, step down, don’t drag our Brother En down with you!】
【To have a talented actor like him supporting a young star, is the studio full of idiots?!】
【Heh, you’re not actually foolish enough to believe she wants to learn acting, are you? The guest has no intention of drinking, please refer to Emperor Xiao, thank you.】
Hua Tian Entertainment’s official Weibo was filled with the denunciations of the “Xi Mi Lu,” creating a massive uproar.
Like the “Yi Mi,” the “Xi Mi Lu” were also a group of wondrous beings, dominating the drama circle and invincible!
The “Yi Mi” were mostly career-focused fans, generally rational, and even the rare uncontrolled ones would have their fan status immediately revoked.
But the “Xi Mi Lu” were mostly drama fans, and their characteristic was to speak their minds. When unhappy, they would demand the agent step down and tell the studio to eat excrement!
Furthermore, due to the “Xi Mi Lu’s” fierce nature of confronting anyone who disagreed, regardless of who it was, they had made countless enemies outside.
Take this instance, they were already at odds with the “Yi Mi,” and when denouncing, they also brought up Xiao Yi, thus thoroughly angering the “Yi Mi.”
Consequently, the “Yi Mi” finalized their plan overnight, initiating another organized and premeditated battle!
【Oh? You get a little bit of color and you start acting like you own the place? It’s one thing for your TV to make noises, but now you want to take over your Brother En’s baton and think about directing?】
【I don’t know if certain people’s fans are genuinely foolish or truly naive! To still believe that story about the company forcing her? If that were the case, then a dignified Emperor of Acting wouldn’t even have a say, which sounds even more ridiculous!】
【You can call Xia Niang Niang whatever you want, but please don’t bring our Yi Shen into it!】
【Heh, Xia Wei Liang has a magical ability to attract hate. When people try to gain popularity by using her, they then turn around and bite her. What kind of misfortune has she brought upon herself!】
The fan squabble between these two groups was not a small matter, and the Liang fans were displeased.
What, have you two said all the good and bad words?
Our diligent and self-improving efforts have become a joke!
Let us tell you, that’s not happening!
The current Liang fans are no longer what they used to be, and even when facing the two major fan groups, they are not afraid!
A row of uniform comments soon appeared in the comment section, starting to flood the page—
【Thank you, Yi Mi, thank you, Xi Mi Lu. No need to give us your attention; our Niang Niang has plenty, it’s enough.】
【Little Yi, Little Xi! Be good and don’t quarrel~ We really don’t want to trend again. Trending every day is so boring!】
【It’s such a small matter, why all the fuss~ We’ll tell Niang Niang later to focus on looking beautiful, why bother learning useless acting skills! It’s embarrassing!】
【Little Xi, don’t be angry. Liang fans will immediately arrange for ten thousand people to write letters begging Niang Niang to lie down and take all the criticism. We are not worthy of guidance from the Emperor of Acting!】
The current Liang fans have also become a backbone force in the fan circles!
Looking at the intensity of the squabble, it instantly felt like a tripartite confrontation.
Now, other fans have become bystanders, not even having a ticket to join the battle, so they have banded together to watch and cheer.
【Wishing our seniors the best in their eloquent arguments and sharp rebuttals. I also wish this comment section competition a complete success!】
【The three of you combined are over a dozen or twenty years old as fans, can’t you learn to grow up on your own?】
【Whether you fight or not, I don’t care. I just want to see the person involved make a statement, especially the one who is “though late, will always arrive.”】
【The one upstairs is too calculating, but so charmingly so, I’m impressed!】
Hua Tian Entertainment still made no statement.
They didn’t really need to. Previously, the industry leader was Yi Xiao Entertainment, where Xiao Yi was, and they were on par with Mei Yu Media.
However, after Mei Yu Media gained a firm foothold in the industry with the artist Xia Wei Liang and the variety show “I Am Your Grandfather,” they quickly widened the gap with Hua Tian. Hua Tian was truly anxious. Their only remaining ace was Xi En, followed by newcomers like Xia Yi Ran and the meto group. They were truly in a transitional period, hence the desperate need for attention.
The fans on Weibo were arguing incessantly, coupled with the Liang fans’ seasoned passive-aggression, the scene was a classic fan circle battle!
At this moment of great anticipation, the one who was “though late, will always arrive” did not disappoint and posted another Weibo update.
【All the busy work is done, and I have some free time. May I have a beautiful disciple?】
Everyone felt reassured.
Ah! That’s more like it!
If you had posted this Weibo earlier, everyone could have just washed up and gone to sleep.
The Yi Mi collectively felt exhausted. They were almost about to win the argument, and then you had to show up. Wouldn’t it have been better to stay in the background and enjoy the fruits of victory?
But giving up was not in the Yi Mi’s nature. Thus, adjusting their strategy overnight, the Yi Mi reappeared on the battlefield with a completely different demeanor.
【She has popularity and is beautiful. Where can I find such a disciple? Please introduce me.】
【Nowadays, it’s popular for masters to gain popularity from their disciples. The difference is, we dare to gain popularity and we dare to admit it!】
【Master-Disciple CP, yyds!】
【@ Xia Wei Liang Niang Niang, consider our Yi Shen. You don’t have to worry about making wedding dresses for others for nothing! Because wedding dresses, we have them right here!】
