CH 16.3

Do You Still Hate Her? 06 – Lulu have fans coming to cheer on her

At that moment, Han Cheng finally arrived with his screenwriter.

Han Cheng was originally feeling a headache because of the casting issue. However, upon learning that Young Master Chi Yan had been sitting in their production team’s monitoring room since the beginning of the audition, he felt even more confused, as if everything strange was happening all at once today.

But Han Cheng could only ask, “Mr. Chi, what do you need? Is there something in our production team that you are unsatisfied with? You can tell us directly.”

Chi Yan leaned back in his chair and leisurely replied, “Looking at the overall environment of the production team, it’s not bad.”

Han Cheng : “…”

Looking at the overall environment of the production team? But Han Cheng already knew about Chi Yan taking away the audition video. He never did things behind people’s backs, so why pretend now?

If life were a comic, there would definitely be a few black lines above Han Cheng’s head at this moment.

So why did Chi Yan refuse when Han Cheng invited him to participate in the casting just now? They even had equipment recording everything on-site. Isn’t taking the surveillance footage unnecessary? The thoughts of these wealthy people are really hard to fathom, one after another.

The screenwriter reacted quickly and asked with high emotional intelligence, “Does Mr. Chi have any preference for the role selection?”

Chi Yan showed a lazy expression and waved his hand, denying, “No, I’m just a businessman. I’m just casually taking a look without understanding these things.”

Although Chi Yan said so, before leaving, he left a sentence behind, “No matter what happens, Director Han, please make choices according to your own thoughts. Since the Chi family has decided to invest in this drama, they will naturally ensure its smooth broadcast. I also hope that Director Han can present the most perfect work.”

The news about Shang Lu and Ning Lin both going to Director Han Cheng’s production team for an audition was exposed online.

@Your_Every_Day_Entertainment : [Shocking! Shang Lu and Ning Lin, who are currently embroiled in a swirling scandal, were exposed to have participated together in the audition for Han Cheng’s new drama. For detailed information, click here…]

It is widely known that Han Cheng’s production has already started filming, and the previous Weibo post by the actress who withdrew from the role of sixth female character has also been discovered. Shang Lu and Ning Lin can only compete for this one role.

Netizens are unable to comprehend.

[On a side note, Ning Lin’s studio has already deleted the Weibo post related to the rose manor. It’s really amusing.]

[They used to fight for men, and now they’re fighting for roles. Wow, this is the legendary archenemies, right?]

Ning Lin’s reputation has plummeted rapidly at this moment, and the comments about her are particularly unfriendly.

[Forget it. What do you mean Shang Lu wants to snatch a man from Ning Lin? Let me tell you, it’s clearly a man who brought his mistress to snatch the rose manor from her.]

[Yesterday, Jiang Yi went to find Shang Lu, but he was completely ignored. Who can see that Shang Lu wants to compete with Ning Lin for Jiang Yi? Can we please stop associating Shang Lu’s name with this man? It’s so unlucky.]

[Wouldn’t it be awkward for them to meet? Can’t they livestream Ning Lin kneeling and apologizing to Shang Lu? I want to see that.]

[Agree+1. Shang Lu is really experiencing a double blow out of nowhere.]

Ning Lin’s fans have completely split from the LinJiang CP fans at this moment. They also know that the only way to possibly salvage Ning Lin’s reputation is to emphasize on Ning Lin not knowing that Shang Lu is Jiang Yi’s fiancée.

[What evidence is there to prove that Ning Lin knew about this? Is it her fault to be deceived by a man? If you keep calling her a third party, may your whole family accumulate some virtue!]

[I really feel sorry for Ning Lin. After encountering a scumbag, she encounters Shang Lu. With the backgrounds of these two people, how can our Ning Lin, an ordinary girl, possibly win against them?]

[I believe that after knowing the truth, Ning Lin will definitely cut off all ties with Jiang Yi. She is very kind-hearted and was just deceived by the scumbag. She will awaken in time.]

LinJiang CP fans: “?”

You were the ones who were happily shipping them together in the beginning, but now that there’s a problem, you’re anxious to distance yourselves. Your hypocrisy is really ugly!

Without waiting for bystanders or Shang Lu’s fans to refute, the Linjiang CP fans were already irritated and took the lead.

[So you’re just pushing everything onto Jiang Yi, huh? Some of these IDs were clearly active in the CP fan group. You used us when you needed us, and kicked us away when you didn’t. Where else can you find such a good deal?]

[Do you understand the true meaning of standing by someone in times of trouble? I believe that the LinJiang couple will overcome these hardships together. Only time can prove true love.]

One of Ninglin’s toxic only fans couldn’t contain her anger anymore. After so many years, she finally got the chance to separate from the LinJiang CP. She naturally believed that Ning Lin didn’t know about these things and was glad that her idol could finally shine alone. Now she unabashedly spoke up.

[Are all the LinJiang CP fans idiots? What a d*mn true love? Let’s say even if they were originally a real couple, isn’t it time to break up now? If Ning Lin already knows and still doesn’t break up, what kind of true love do the scumbag man and the cheap woman have? Can’t the CP fans stop using Ning Lin as a tool? Did anyone ever consider her while indulging in the high sugar content?

[@Ning_Lin, don’t get lost in love. Even if you were together, break up with him immediately! You’re the hottest trending star right now. You’re still young, and there will be plenty of men in your future. If you don’t work hard on your career these few years, you won’t have any opportunities later.

[Wake up, we love you.]

This Weibo post was wildly shared among Ning Lin’s only fans, especially her career-oriented fans. They relentlessly mentioned Ning Lin and her studio, demanding her to end her relationship with Jiang Yi and focus on her career.

LinJiang CP fans: “…”

LinJiang CP fans are on the verge of breaking down their defenses.

Everyone understands the reasoning, but since they have invested so much time and energy into liking these two individuals, at this moment, they naturally refuse to admit it and keep using the excuse of “commercial marriage hindering true love” as a fig leaf, unable to find any new arguments.

No need for outsiders to instigate, Ning Lin’s fandom consisting of two main factions – the once harmonious only fans and CP fans, are now engaged in heated arguments.

Apart from these quarrels, online bystanders are curious about which of these two actors will ultimately win the role.

“[eaving aside personal qualities, there’s no comparison between Shang Lu’s acting skills and Ning Lin’s. They are simply not on the same level.]

[Well, I don’t agree. Hasn’t anyone seen a movie that Shang Lu acted in before? Although she played the second female lead, she was truly the moonlight in my heart.]

Soon, a few marketing accounts joined forces to leak the news, claiming that it had already been confirmed that Ning Lin had secured the role.

After seeing this news, Ning Lin’s only fans instantly became determined, just like a drowning person finally finding a lifebuoy.

[An actress without acting skills is all fake.]

[Auditioning is not scary. After all, whoever has poor acting skills will be embarrassed.]

[With such terrible acting skills, how long can Shang Lu rely on these gimmicks to stay popular? It’s better to take a few acting classes and spare everyone from the agony of watching her.]

In fact, Shang Lu is really taking acting classes.

A person can’t hang themselves on one tree. Shang Lu still continued to audition for other scripts and discovered some issues with her own performance during the auditions at home.

After attending an acting class, the teacher directly pointed out that her performance level is greatly influenced by personal preferences. She can portray characters the characters she likes quite well, but when it comes to characters she’s not interested in, her performance feels forced.

After a few acting classes, there was some improvement, but it wasn’t particularly noticeable.

Shang Lu felt somewhat frustrated and continued studying the scripts after completing the acting classes.
