Chapter 16: 15. Netizens are a magical community.
Evening.
On the rare Sunday evening, just before eight o'clock, quite a few viewers had already tuned in to Imperial Capital TV Station, ready to watch the high-rated "Happy Together".
Meanwhile, the official Weibo of the TV drama "Love Tornado", as well as several actors who participated in the recording of the show, also reposted the Program Team's Weibo. This was to increase exposure and to give their fans some treats.
Under Zhang Yilin, Sun Zhi, and Kong Yuanyuan's Weibo posts, the scene suddenly became extraordinarily lively, with numerous fans commenting and cheering.
[Ahhh, my male god is on a variety show, turn on the TV! Gaze adoringly at the screen!]
[Husband, husband, here I come, I'll definitely be watching the show, from beginning to end, not missing even the commercials!]
[What's wrong with you upstairs, why would you watch commercials?]
[My Yuanyuan is finally going on a variety show. We fans have been hoping and waiting, of course, we have to support her!]
[The "Love Tornado" cast reunites off the set!! You devils, it's already enough to dish out sweetness in the drama, and now you even spread sweetness on the set of "Happy Together"? awsl~~~~~]
As fans of the drama, after playfully complaining beneath the main cast's Weibo posts, they quickly moved to the lead actress Mu Ziwei's Weibo.
However... no interaction.
[What's the matter, did our Ziwei forget to repost the Program Team's Weibo?]
[Goddess, goddess, did you get too addicted to playing games and forget to come out and do your business? hhhhhhh~~~~]
Thus, whether it was fans of the drama or the tens of millions who followed Mu Ziwei herself, they all liked the comment, calling out to their beloved idol to come and do her "business".
[Come out and do your business, it's time, cutie!]
[Quick, quick, get down to business——]
[Open for business +1]
[Open for business +10086]
...
Netizens are a curious group.
How so? Even if the person of interest remains silent, they can still cheerfully entertain themselves for a whole day, akin to a self-heating hotpot.
Before long, under the latest post of the drama's lead actress, more than a hundred thousand comments had appeared.
In a valuable villa in the Imperial Capital, Mu Ziwei looked through the comments on Weibo and, seeing that the time was ripe, her fingers danced over her phone for a few moments before she sent out a new Weibo post the next second.
[Mu Ziwei: Due to some reasons, I was unable to attend the recording of "Happy Together", and Ziwei feels sorry to let everyone down. However, the participation of other actors is equally exciting, and I hope you will continue supporting "Love Tornado"~~~@Zhang Yilin, @Sun Zhi, @Kong Yuanyuan.]
Of the group of four, only Tang Shu was left out.
Now, the situation had blown up, starting with Mu Ziwei's dedicated fans voicing their discontent.
[Ah— I was looking forward to the program's broadcast, and there's no goddess?]
[As the lead actress of the drama, how could Weiwei not attend? There must have been some kind of hold-up.]
[Look at me, look at me, what exactly is the reason for not attending? It's such a pity, I can't see my goddess!]
[Weiwei, don't cry, we won't watch without you, just rewatching the drama is the same.]
While some fans were saddened and disappointed, they had already moved on to "Happy Together"'s Weibo, only to discover that besides the three actors, a fourth person was also tagged.
Tang Shu.
[Who is this Tang Shu? How did she come to replace our Weiwei for the show recording?]
[Ah, I know, it's Lin Yiyi from the show!]
[... WTH, why is it that white lotus? Other than crying and stirring up trouble, what else can she do?]
[Does the Program Team have a death wish? Are you sure you want her there to promote the show, not to sabotage it?]
[The Program Team is clueless +1]
[An unprecedented sight, seeing a villainous supporting actress participate in the drama's promotion, something's definitely up!]
[Hold on, let me sort this out, my goddess bows out of the original show recording for no apparent reason, and they replace her with such a vile supporting character, emmmmm, am I overthinking?]
[Upstairs, that's frightfully thought-provoking!]
It didn't take long for the media, sensing the news, to pick up on these details and smell countless stories, rapidly typing away on their computers and phones.
Less than half an hour after Mu Ziwei's Weibo post, various big V's on major APPs posted the latest articles.
[Shock! Top young leading actress surprisingly usurped by an 18th-tier newbie, what's the story behind it?]
[She doesn't seem to care about Mu Ziwei at all, what unspeakable secret does she hold!?]
[Some newbie in the entertainment industry, with the backing of hidden resources, unexpectedly overshadows top star Mu Ziwei. Who's behind her?]
