YM778.TV Chapter 72: Her Only Mental Support
“Same here, Tang Tu’s so talented, he could never be a “pretend to know” it all.”
“Qiao Xin doesn’t seem like the type either, he’s professional and a role model for the whole circle.”
“There’s even less chance that she’s referring to Director Ye Zian; he knows more than anyone.”
“So, after our inference, could it be Feng Qingyu?”
“It’s not easy to determine.”
…
The fans of Yang Huayue started discussing furiously. Most people thought Yang Huayue’s dissatisfaction was directed at Feng Qingyu. Some courageous and impulsive fans even went to Feng Qingyu’s Wei Bo and left comments such as she had sucky acting skills and she was arrogant.
Of course, Feng Qinyu’s acting skills were bad: that was a well-known fact in the entertainment circle.
Feng Qingyu did switch her career halfway from model to actress. Her acting skills were nothing compared to Yang Huayue, who graduated from a theatre college, and Qiao Xin, who had been acting since he was just a child. Different from actors who had to fight from the bottom of the circle, Feng Qingyu’s resources were great from the start. She had never really been a cannon fodder or an extra. She rarely even acted as the third female lead. Because she had been the first female or second female lead so many times, she had become very arrogant and consider herself an outstanding actress.
No matter the actor, they all had to be modest and keep on studying. It was fine if she didn’t know how to play the piano, she could learn it. Why lie about it?
Feng Qingyu had more than five million fans on her Wei Bo account, which was the same as Qiao Xin’s fans count. How could Feng Qingyu’s fans tolerate Yang Huayue’s fans defaming their goddess in the comment section?
“Where did you come from? How dare you to defy our goddess?”
“Who the hell even is Yang Huayue? She’s not even qualified to lift shoes for our Beauty Yu.”
“Coming to criticize without evidence? Ah, the kind of fans defines the kind of idol.”
“Yeah, for crazy fans, why would you just assume Yang Huayue meant our Beauty Yu.”
“This is defamation, you know. Beauty Yu can send an attorney’s letter to Yang Huayue, and she’ll have to pay.”
Yang Huayue’s fans were not ready to give up:
“If it was not Feng Qingyu, our little Moon would clear this out. Since she hasn’t when the drama started, it means that she admits by default.
“Feng Qingyu’s acting skill is already bad, ok? It’s awkward as hell, but unfortunately, lots of the show’s female leads are all her. Sometimes I feel like the plot is worth watching, but seeing her face, I can’t continue watching the show.”
“Me too, me too! I always skip when I see Feng Qingyu act.”
“I feel so bad for our little moon, she has to cooperate with Feng Qingyu.”
“Yeah, she can’t even sleep or eat well. She must feel miserable right now.”
…
The fans on both sides were cursing at each other so much that the search tag, #Yang Huayue and Feng Qingyu’s Fans Fighting Against Each Other#, went on Wei Bo’s hot search leaderboard.
Once the tag got on Wei Bo’s hot search bar, everyone was able to see it.
The staff members in the crew also browsed Wei Bo quite often. They all followed both Yang Huayue and Feng Qingyu. Everyone saw Feng Qingyu’s performance today, but although they supported Yang Huayue secretly, they didn’t dare to comment on Wei Bo. None of them wanted to lose their jobs! They could only drop a like on Yang Huayue’s post in their mind.
Qiao Xin was also angry about Feng Qingyu’s performance today. He felt exactly the way Yang Huayue felt. But he wasn’t as stupid and as impatient as Yang Huayue to publically defy Feng Qingyu on the internet. There were many ways to beat Feng Qingyu in the future to vent out his anger, so there was no reason for him to jump out to defy her right now.
Tang Tu, who always browsed Wei Bo, would never miss such drama on Wei Bo. He also thought Yang Huayue was very stupid, but he knew Feng Qingyu’s piano playing was sucky. But he, of course, wouldn’t openly side with anyone on Wei Bo, so he only dropped a like on Yang Huayue’s bravery in his mind.
Feng Qinyu herself didn’t post anything, as if nothing had happened.
Yang Huayue’s agent was the first to call her, and he scolded her the instant she picked up.
Then, she received a call from Gao Jindong. His tone was no longer kind, it was now stern, “Huayue, if you want to survive in our society, you can’t do whatever you want. It’s normal to feel upset and to complain, but for some things, even if you are right and the other person is wrong, you cannot proclaim or announce it. Back then, I helped you because of your father. Your path had been very smooth from the beginning. You hadn’t experienced any drama, which is why you still seem as if you haven’t grown up yet and is still an immature child. This is not your fault; it’s mine. I’m not related to you, so I won’t always be there for you. You can only depend on yourself in the future, do you understand that?”
Yang Huayue said with an urgent tone, “Uncle Gao, I know it’s my fault now.” She had already realized how bad the situation was and felt guilty and regretful for what she did impulsively.
“Delete that Wei Bo post, and I’ll contact someone to take care of the rest. We’ll pretend this has never happened.”
As he finished his lecture, Gao Jindong hung up heavily.
Yang Huayue logged onto her Wei Bo once again. At this moment, she finally realized that excluding her fans, everyone else was being an onlooker. They were all watching her and Feng Qingyu lose their face. Qiao Xin, Tang Tu, Lu Yu, Cheng Fenglan, and even Xue Yunfei. None of them was willing to stand up and openly support her.
This was the first time Yang Huayue experienced what it felt like to feel helpless and heartbroken.
Until a very inconspicuous Wei Bo notification popped up.
“Princess Man liked your Wei Bo post.”
Yang Huayue’s despaired eyes lighted up again.
When someone was completely hopeless, sometimes a very simple and convenient like could save her. This was very trivial but enough to get a hopeless person to feel grateful.
Liu Man had already followed Yang Huayue. She was resting in her hotel and saw Yang Huayue’s complaint when she browsed her Wei Bo. She watched the entire process and conflict happen.
Just from Yang Huayue’s single post, Liu Man wasn’t able to tell whom Yang Huayue directed the ‘know it all’ at. Liu Man’s parts all happened in the past, and Feng Qingyu’s occurred in the future. They didn’t even meet in any scenes or behind the scenes. Until now, Liu Man had only seen Feng Qingyu once, and it was at that opening ceremony. Besides, even if Feng Qingyu and Liu Man were standing face to face, Feng Qingyu would consider Liu Man too trivial to talk to her.
The truth was, the only reason why Liu Man decided to like Yang Huayue’s post and side with her was because of how Feng Qingyu’s fans called her “Beauty Yu.”
In Liu Man’s mind, there was only one Beauty Yu. Even though she died an undeserved death two thousand years ago, Feng Qingyu still had no right to replace her nickname.
Seeing how they were all calling Feng Qingyu “Beauty Yu,” Liu Man felt very uncomfortable and upset.
