“This is a small matter. I was very satisfied with Song Ci’s results. She even brought so much attention to ‘Police Story’. I’m very grateful to her.” Director Liang was clear about gratitude and grudges. He did not like to hide them.

“Then, Director Liang, if you have a suitable script in the future, you must contact us.” Yang Haoran chuckled.

“Of course. Song Ci’s acting is good. She’s down-to-earth and willing to work hard as well. I wish I could always have such an actress. When there’s a suitable role, I’ll definitely look for her again. I’m just afraid her schedule won’t permit it since she’s getting more and more popular.” Director Liang was quite satisfied with Song Ci.

When Yang Haoran heard this, he immediately said, “What are you talking about? We’ll always have time for you, Director Liang!”

Director Liang immediately laughed out loud. Song Ci’s manager really had a way with words.

The two exchanged a few more words before Yang Haoran hung up the phone. He went to check on the forum again. In the end, Song Ci’s fans still had a slight advantage. Coupled with the popularity Song Ci gained from the series, it did not take long for the unfavorable posts to be suppressed. This was the power of the fans. The company had not even had time to do anything yet.

Now, there were only haters who were constantly posting. In addition, some fans kept replying, causing some to be seen on the homepage from time to time. However, compared to before, it was not enough.

As for the haters and fans who had been private messaging Shi Bingbing, waiting for her reply, they still had not gotten any. After all, Shi Bingbing knew what had happened, and she could only post specious words to gain some attention.

Yang Haoran looked at the war of words on the internet and felt that Shi Bingbing was quite smart. It was a pity she did not use it in the right place. If she had said things that bordered the line between truth and lie, she would have been able to gain a lot of exposure. Even now, she was still pretending to be silent, as if she did not know about this matter. She had not explained or said anything. Even if her intention had only been to complain, she had deliberately guided things to this point. With this kind of character, she deserved to only act in supporting roles and never be exposed.

Yang Haoran could not be bothered with her. After arranging tomorrow’s publicity event with Song Ci, he went to bed. Before he slept, he thought about how some people would be slapped in the face tomorrow.

Shi Bingbing looked at the increasing number of private messages on her phone and felt her blood boil. She had never been followed by so many people before! She never thought her account would develop like this, so much so that her originally boring thoughts became lively. She kept consoling herself that it was not her fault that things had developed to this point.

After all, she had never mentioned Song Ci’s name, nor did she directly say that Song Ci had stolen her role. Those were all the netizens’ own guesses. She was not the one who first exposed her. Perhaps Song Ci had offended someone, and now that someone wanted to tarnish her reputation.

She had only said she was unlucky to have missed the chance to act in the role she had signed on for. Thus, missing the opportunity to become popular. After all, the role of Yu Xiaoyue had been hers from the beginning. She had not lied, and Song Ci had offended too many people. So it was the perfect opportunity to pin a crime on Song Ci. That was why she said it. Song Ci only had herself to blame for blocking someone else’s path.

If she had not given up on the role of Yu Xiaoyue, would Song Ci have had the chance to act? She would have been the one to explode in popularity today. Now that Song Ci had picked up on her opportunity and acted in such a popular role with such high popularity, her popularity had also increased. She had been scolded a few times, but so what? It was normal as an actor. Besides, being scolded a few times would not hurt her. On the other hand, if she missed the role of Yu Xiaoyue, she did not know when she would be able to make it.

With this in mind, Shi Bingbing had even less of a mind to reply to those private messages. She even switched to her alternate account to anonymously publish articles to some marketing accounts. She hoped more and more people would repost this incident so that she could gain some benefits. As for what would happen to Song Ci, who was being insulted by everyone? That was none of Shi Bingbing’s concern. This was how the world was. If you could not bear it, you would be slapped to death, and there would be no way for you to rise again.

In an instant, due to Shi Bingbing’s actions, a few marketing accounts with low traffic started to post about Song Ci snatching the role to gain popularity. However, Song Ci’s fans quickly found the keywords and refuted the rumors under the post of the marketing account.

“I don’t believe it. Yu Xiaoyue is a supporting female character who died not long after the series started. She can’t even be compared to a normal supporting female character. She’s just the key to opening a big case. Who would want to snatch such a role?”
