174: A Slap Across the Face

A Slap Across the Face

Although the mess online was not that advantageous for Gu Weiwei, most of Li Xing'er's fans were still looking forward to the movie, which was a positive promotion for the whole team.1

Li Xing'er's agent was in the promotion team of the Long Wind, so the official account of the Long Wind conducted positive interactions with Li Xing'er on Weibo, by posting some pictures that showed Li Xing'er's hardworking practise.

So, Li Xing'er's image of being a very diligent actress was now going around, flooding the internet.

Even some important figures also wrote some posts and made a list of what Li Xing'er had achieved so far, speaking extremely highly of her.

In the meanwhile, Gu Weiwei was said to have gained the role through improper methods.

Then Shen Qiu also posted a very vague post, indicating that she also tried for the role of Tang Shaoqi but missed it.

Therefore, Gu Weiwei's Weibo was filled with large numbers of terrible comments within a single day.

[Just stay as an internet star, are you trying to ruin the movie?]

[Who do you think you are that you can play the role of Tang Shaoqi?]

[How much money did you spend on doing the plastic surgery on your face?]

[I am curious how long she has been the mistress of someone so that she could steal Shen Qiu's role?]

….

But none of these things affected the crew, and everyone was making the movie at a normal pace.

Gu Weiwei was not influenced by the mean words online. She passed every scene in one take, fast and with good performance.

She was not doing anything, when Jolin in the capital started to get worried as he saw the mean comments increasing on her Weibo.

So when she finished work, late at night, he made a phone call to her.

"Some important figures are helping Li Xing'er. Apparently they have hired some people to do the job."

"Shen Qiu also indicated that she went to audition as Tang Shaoqi, and now you are getting so many mean comments."

…

It was the first time for him to run into an artist who had received so many mean comments before she even hit the public scene.

Originally, Black Swan had a very good image online, and she should have received a great number of fans due to her beautiful appearance. Also, when the movie was released, she would have been considered as capable too.

But now, Li Xing'er had made a fuss so that she had received so many mean comments before the movie was even released.

The fans who had followed her due to Black Swan incident, started to unfollow her these past few days and even started to make mean comments about her too.

"Well, just leave it as it is, we will turn the table around one day." Gu Weiwei was quite calm.

"Maybe we can try doing a manufactured story with Master Three." Jolin said.

The point was that Mu Weiwei had just appeared in public as a newcomer and she didn't have a fan base, so she was put in a very passive position in this matter.

"No need, being a manufactured couple with him would cause more mean comments from his fans." Gu Weiwei turned down that idea immediately.

Fu Shiyi and his fans were way too crazy for her to hold still.

"Then what should we do? The media visit is tomorrow and Li Xing'er's fans will be there too. You must watch out." Jolin said.

Some fans could do bad things to other artists that they disliked.

"I get it, I will be very careful." Gu Weiwei checked the time and said, "I have some important scenes to shoot tomorrow, so I need some rest now."

"What do you plan to do tomorrow, please tell me now." Jolin asked anxiously.

Standing by the window, Gu Weiwei looked down at Li Xing'er who was busy practising martial arts and showed a sinister smile.

"Of course it will be… a slap across her face."
