Chapter 451: The Whole Internet’s Condemnation! His Majesty Found a Big Boss for Qjngqing (1)
Translator: _Min_
Tang Haiqiu had long been established as a venerable director.
A decade ago, his work on “Sword Immortal” solidified his status as a gold-standard director.
With the rise of new technologies and the proliferation of social media platforms, members of the older generation like him rarely made public appearances online.
Tang Haiqiu’s Weibo account was created specifically for the casting call of “Crossing the Demon Realm.”
The first post on his Weibo was an automatic verification post by the system.
His second post was a declaration of support for Si Fuqing.
[Wait a minute! Since when did Director Tang have any interactions with Si
Fuqing? They seem worlds apart.]
[Holy, I just had a wild thought!]
[Me too, Si Fuqing mentioned she has a project coming up in September. Now with Director Tang speaking up, it’s not too far-fetched to guess that the project might be ‘Crossing the Demon Realm,’ right?]
[Ah, I’m dying of curiosity here. Which role is it? Can’t September come any sooner so they can start filming?]
Film and TV projects typically have confidentiality agreements in place before production begins, preventing early leaks.
Tang Haiqiu personally disliked the idea of leveraging popular stars for early hype and preferred to reveal key casting decisions only at the start of production.
He focused solely on his craft, adopting a laid-back approach to filmmaking.
Thus, Tang Haiqiu’s vocal support was taken as a clear indication that Si
Fuqing would definitely be part of “Crossing the Demon Realm.”
[I bet she’s going to play the Demon Realm Princess! Isn’t she known as the foremost beauty across all three realms in the story? Who else but Si Fuqing could embody such a role?]
[I’m going all out and guessing she’s the female lead!]
[Forget about the female lead. That role is surely reserved for the award-winning TV actress Gu Zhinan.]
[Come on, Tianle Media only managed to secure a fifth female lead role for Meng Xue. Thinking Si Fuqing, who’s been suppressed, could land a second female lead is wishful thinking.]
[Director Tang is making a xianxia series; he’s naturally opposed to evil. He’s just speaking up, so let’s not over-credit Si Fuqing’s fans by saying she’s acting in a xianxia series without even having any acting experience.]
Mousses had never felt such a thrill.
Barely had they celebrated her contract termination than she secured a role in a film or TV project, allowing them to finally revel in being fans of her professional endeavors.
As high as Si Fuqing’s supporters were cheering, Meng Xue’s mood soured equally.
“Sister Meng, she’s not really going to join the same shooting crew as you, is she?” Cen Xiaosi found it unbelievable. “She actually managed to get into Director Tang’s project? She can’t act at all.”
Meng Xue was incredibly irritated internally, “She’s just an extra, a walk-on part. This xianxia series has many fight scenes; they need even more extras to play corpses.”
“Exactlv, she’s not worthv.” Cen Xiaosi cleverlv flattered. “Once the vouth
campus web drama starring you airs, you’ll gain even more fans. Si Fuqing will be nothing compared to you.”
Idols venturing into the film and TV industry sought not only lucrative pay but also a boost in fan numbers.
Meng Xue ignored Cen Xiaosi, stepping outside.
Tianle Media wouldn’t collapse, but this incident had cost her a significant portion of her casual fanbase.
Feng Peizhi was of no use to her now, her capabilities lacking.
With the disbandment of Starry Star Girls imminent, she considered switching to a different management company.
Meng Xue pursed her lips and dialed a number from her contacts, “Hello,
Brother Zhou, it’s me. Yes, I’m quite interested in the terms you mentioned.
Let’s find a time to talk.”
This was a widespread condemnation that had only just begun.
More and more insiders began to leak information.
Most were from the “Youth With You” production crew, including the producer who posted a Weibo video.
“I am the producer of ‘Youth With You, he began solemnly in front of the camera. “I have something very important to say.”
“Ms. Si was the first choice sent over by Tianle Media. There was no case of her replacing anyone else. Tianle Media also discussed certain scripts with us, aiming to make Ms. Si appear foolish, to create a contrast with Lin Qingyan, thereby increasing the show’s popularity.”
“It can be said that if it weren’t for Ms. Sits subsequent performances, she would have been handed a sacrificial script, and the show would have ended with her being forced out of the industry. I am deeply sorry for our previous actions. The show’s success to its conclusion is inseparable from Ms. Sits perseverance. I can’t do much to help Ms. Si, but by speaking out about these matters, I support her in terminating her contract.”
The hater continued their relentless campaign, circulating unflattering photos and various accusations against Si Fuqing.
However, upon revisiting these alleged faults, onlookers realized she hadn’t actually done anything wrong.
Infidelities abound in the entertainment industry, yet those involved still thrive.
Why then was a sixteen-year-old girl vilified to such an extent without having done anything?
