Chapter 31

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Tang Wei’s expression turned cold after reading the news on Weibo. Weibo was now Zheng Min’s world. Her fans accumulated to a number higher than Tang Wei’s own fans.

She pursed her lips and threw her phone away. She stood up and paced back and forth alone, thinking about how to deal with it.

At this time, another notification appeared from Weibo. Tang Wei squinted and saw that it was posted by her second brother, as well as forwarded by her eldest brother and younger brother. As the three of them were good-looking and were known for being Zheng Min’s siblings, they had quite a decent amount of fans. Now that they were posting on behalf of Zheng Min, they quickly gained more followers.

She picked up her phone and held it tightly. Her eyes looked as if she wanted to stare a hole into the screen.

Tang Yannan posted, [@vvscriptwriter, I’d like to ask if you don’t care about the quality of the actors when your work is being filmed? Your production team really chose someone like Song Chichi to be the female lead? At this point, don’t you think the drama will end up failing? My sister Zheng Min has been studying the original work for your drama very diligently, but alas, I didn’t expect for you to decide the roles privately. Since you’ve done this, why did you do that public casting in the first place?]

Tang Yandong reposted [Shengran Group will withdraw its investment from such a scriptwriter!]

She knew that Tang Yandong had invested in her drama, “Red Maze”. She thought that it would be a waste not to earn money from him, so she let it be. Moreover, if the drama turned out popular, his company would also benefit from it.

However, she did not expect that her big brother would actually withdraw his investment for that cheap Zheng Min. How muddle-headed could he get?

Then, she saw younger brother, who was still in high school, also reposted the post.

Tang Yannan commented, [I support my two brothers and Minmin!]

Tang Wei’s expression gradually cooled down as she began to type out her post on Weibo.

Three minutes later, Weibo exploded again. The topic was [#VVsupportsSongChichi]

[Why are you doing this? Did you just use my Minmin as a tool for you to boost your popularity? If you knew this would happen, why did you do that public casting?]

There were more than 10,000 replies to her post, followed by a lot of approval.

There were also reposts and comments from her fans.

[D*mn, my VV is actually posting on Weibo?! You could only see this once in a thousand years, and it’s actually over the fact that they got slandered. We VV fans are just busy with our lives, but we’re not dead, okay?]

[That’s right. I usually don’t choose actors myself, nor do I post anything related to actors. However, this time, since VV is personally supporting the female lead, then it’s obvious that Song Chichi is a talent to them. I’m on VV’s side!]

[Agreed]

[Agreed +1]

[Agreed +2]

[Agreed +n]

At the same time, the people gathering outside the film’s shooting site also saw the Weibo post from VV. They looked at each other and took out their phones to start arguing.

One of them said to his companion, “I didn’t expect VV to have so many fans. However, no matter how many fans they have, they can’t compare to my baby Minmin. After all, she’s just a writer. How can she have more fans than those who appear on the big screen?”

Another person echoed, “That’s right. I think we should go back to the fan club and discuss. We can’t just let it go like this.”

“Let’s go, let’s go!”

One of them was wearing a mask and a cap. She was Qianqian, who had an affair with Assistant Director Su Peng. After she had intercourse with him that day, she met Zheng Min along with him. They told her that if she did this successfully, then the second female lead role would be hers. Moreover, they even gave her a black credit card.

Qianqian held the black card in her pocket. She had already taken the money, so she naturally had to finish the job properly. Therefore, she couldn’t let them go back just like that. She had to complete what Zheng Min instructed her to do.

The woman rolled her eyes and shouted through gritted teeth, “We can’t just go back like this. Let’s keep an eye on this side first. We can’t let them continue filming!”

“But what if they call the police?” One of them asked hesitantly.

“Hehe, if they call the police, ‘Red Maze’ will never be released again. Besides, there are more than ten of us here. Don’t worry.”

The rest of the people’s eyes lit up. They felt that what she said made sense, so they continued to stay. They pulled out banners and continued to boycott the filming.

The director and the main person-in-charge on the set all looked worried.

Su Peng walked over and said, “Hey, Director Feng, why don’t we consider the big picture and use Zheng Min?”

“No.”

“I don’t agree.”

He could understand if Director Feng said no, but why was Xie Yang also doing this?

Su Peng asked, “Why? Movie King Xie, I’m sure you’re aware that Zheng Min is a popular actress. She has much more influence than Song Chichi.”

Song Chichi was speechless hearing that.

“I’m sorry, but I’m very satisfied with my current partner. I won’t act if you put me with someone else,” Xie Yang said expressionlessly.

Su Peng choked in surprise.

Director Feng glanced at him seriously and said angrily, “Su Peng, is there any use in saying such now?”

The man was embarrassed, and his expression was a little ugly. He snorted and said, “Hmph, since people outside are already boycotting it, and you guys don’t want to film with Zheng Min either, then I think we should stop first!”

Su Peng sounded very angry, but after he finished speaking, he secretly observed everyone’s reaction.

Producer Jiang Qing thought for a while and said, “This is the only way.”

Director Feng sighed and nodded slowly.

Ten minutes after Tang Wei posted on Weibo, she saw that the production team of “Red Maze’ had announced a notice to temporarily stop filming.

The fans in the comments section who didn’t know the truth immediately felt that Song Chichi had really snatched the female lead using her family background. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have stopped the filming. Moreover, the Weibo post that VV had just posted was synonymous with their accusations. They thought that VV had also received benefits from the Song family.

Tang Wei called her best friend and asked, “Why did they stop filming?”

“There are a lot of fans outside the set who are boycotting it. It has also affected our other production workers. We can only postpone it for now.” Song Chichi’s tone was low.

“Zheng Min’s fans have really gone crazy. Wei’er, will this affect your work? Why don’t I just quit?”

Tang Wei frowned and refused. “No. If you quit now, wouldn’t you fall into her trap? Besides, this will be detrimental to your acting career in the future. As for whether the film will affect me, you can rest assured. I’m from the book circle, and my fans are more rational. I won’t lose them just over this.”

Her comforting words made Song Chichi bite her lip and think for a while before she softly hummed.

“I won’t be going for the meal tonight,” Song Chichi said. “You can go there with Uncle.”

The man’s smiling face appeared in Tang Wei’s mind and she quickly shook her head.

Realizing that Song Chichi wasn’t planning to go, she said awkwardly, “Chichi, you know that if I’m alone with your uncle, the temperature will definitely drop. So, be there and help me apologize to your uncle, please?”

“Ah, alright then.”

Song Chichi responded, wondering how her uncle would scold her later. Sigh, that poor man really didn’t know how to seize opportunities when he got them.

When the people outside the set saw the Weibo message, they smiled and walked back in groups of two or three with a sense of accomplishment.

Qianqian walked behind them, happier than all of them. She was about to get the second female lead role, hahaha. It wasn’t a waste for her to have slept with that pervert Su Peng for a night.
