However, it didn't take long for someone to suspect this was all a publicity stunt: was this all done on purpose?
After all, this whole scheme reeks of manipulation. Xue Feifei, a rather obscure figure, unexpectedly snatches the co-star role that the top female celebrities were vying for, in a major production helmed by a renowned director. And now, she's even linked to Huang Mi, suddenly bringing her name to the public eye.
Meanwhile, Du Sui faced no doubt—she had fully prepared for this before the release. After midnight, with no apology or contact from Huang Mi, she was prepared to pull no punches. She posted a message, tagged @Huang Mi, then contacted her company to push the post to the top of the feed.
