All-rounder Artist-Chapter 894 - 837: The Male Lead Has Been Snatched Away

This was a post-deletion tidal wave!

Netizens were deleting their posts, and Ling Kong was deleting posts too!

It's just that ordinary netizens' actions of deleting posts went unnoticed, while Ling Kong had now become a celebrity and, consequently, a focal point of attention for many!

Once he started deleting posts, a wave of scolding followed in the comments of his other updates:

"This guy deletes posts faster than I do!"

"Heard you're planning on making a movie related to Yang Jian?"

"Still going to shoot it?"

"You think you're worthy of portraying Yang Jian?"

"Sorry, when it comes to Yang Jian, I only recognize Journey to the West and 'The Lotus Lantern'!"

"You've deleted your posts, let's not beat a dead horse, we've silently deleted ours too."

"Deserving of criticism, we had a bit of a misunderstanding earlier and spoke out for Yang Jian, but this guy here wanted to stir up trouble amidst the turmoil!"

"I don't believe for a second that he's a fan of Yang Jian!"

"Don't tell me you believe in the sense of justice from capital!"

Ling Kong began to regret the fame he had sought after earlier, but in this world, there's no such thing as a pill for regret.

And after Ling Kong.

The vanguard of the Tribe—

Those big V internet celebrities who had followed Ling Kong in angrily criticizing 'The Lotus Lantern' also started deleting their posts!

Similarly!

These popular internet celebrities with large followings also got scolded!

A contrasting amusing point was:

Right after the plot reversal of 'The Lotus Lantern'.

Some netizens apologized to the creators of 'The Lotus Lantern'.

...

In director Ding Xiao's comment section.

"Director, I wronged you, I'm sorry, but saying you had a bad conscience wasn't unjustified at all."

"Sorry, he—tui (dog head)"

"Director Ding is really something. 'Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange' was harsh enough, I didn't expect you to go even harder, I'm sorry, I spit and walk away (dog head)"

"Chu Kuang opened the door to the New World for you, and Yi An led you through it."

"Sorry… Damn it, I really can't stand it, why the hell should I apologize to you, the later part of the drama made me cry my eyes out!"

"It's so hard to apologize when my heart and spirit are unwilling!"

This scene of apologies was indeed a bit eerie.

The audience did indeed misunderstand Ding Xiao, but thinking about how torturous the later part of 'The Lotus Lantern' was, everyone felt like scolding Ding Xiao all over again.

At home.

Ding Xiao, seeing these comments, laughed so hard his mouth almost reached his ears, radiating an unusual excitement!

Indeed!

The audience just loves this!

In making TV dramas, one must be cruel!

I love this about you all, how you say you're unwilling with your mouths, but your bodies are so honest!

Scold me!

Scold all you want!

The more you scold, the more it shows you like it, if you don't scold me, that means I'm not doing well enough!

...

In actor Liu Zhengwen's comment section.

"Cough, my fans have returned."

"Erlang Shen, kisses, I still support you!"

"Your portrayal of Yang Jian was too good; I shouldn't have criticized you, it was all Yi An's fault!"

"Promise me, continue playing Yang Jian, you do it better than the actor from The Primordial Chaos!"

"The best Yang Jian ever!"

"Tragically beautiful!"

"Shouldn't have criticized you, to make up for my mistake, I joined your fan group, I'll definitely support you from now on!"

The comments here were much more normal.

Liu Zhengwen let out a big sigh of relief upon seeing these comments.

His agent excitedly said, "Zhengwen, you're going to be on fire with this, Yang Jian could be the peak of your career, you must hold on to this role well. Starlight will definitely continue to make Journey to the West stories, and your role is very important!"

"Yes!"

Liu Zhengwen looked at his account and nodded vigorously!

Previously, because of the harsh criticism during the early stages of 'The Lotus Lantern', he had lost many fans.

However, now.

Not only had his fans returned, but their number had even far surpassed the previous count, a very rare situation. He might really become extremely popular because of this role!

He would seize such an opportunity no matter what!

...

In Yi An's comment section.

Compared to the first two, Yi An's comment section was definitely the most lively!

"Sorry, Yi An…"

"Teacher Yi An, I was wrong!"

"We shouldn't have wronged Teacher Yi An!"

"Teacher Yi An, just like Yang Jian, was wronged by us but couldn't explain, after watching the drama I truly understand the helplessness."

"Remorseful."

"Bowing to Teacher Yi An."

"Teacher Yi An, you truly are an excellent writer and screenwriter!"

At this time.

Lin Yuan was browsing through comments at home.

Seeing the apologies from netizens, he showed a smile.

To err is human, to forgive, divine.

However.

As he continued to scroll through the comments, his expression became somewhat strange.

The comments seem to have taken a turn.

Someone's setting the pace, suspecting it's The Primordial Chaos fans!

"Alright, the apology has ended."

"Brothers, do we follow procedure next, or go straight to roasting?"

"Brothers, I'll start with a roast to pay my respects!"

"Teacher Yi'an, b*stard, die!"

"There's someone to take over for the old rascal Chu Kuang. Everybody's going to have to work harder in the future, hold down the old rascal with your left hand, and keep a grip on Yi'an with your right, this guy is also crazy."

"Worthy disciple of the old rascal, behave like a human being!"

"Bastard, the old rascal just likes to hand out boxed lunches, but you're giving the audience arsenic!"

"Damn Yi'an, who the hell taught you to be like this? Of all people, you had to imitate Chu Kuang, that's just a pitfall!"

"Yi'an, give me your home address, I'll send you some local specialties from our place."

"Ever since 'The Legend of Wukong', I knew you weren't up to any good, as expected, who the hell likes Chu Kuang if they're decent?"

"..."

Lin Yuan's smile froze.

What the hell?

Wasn't this supposed to be an apology?

Where the hell is the promised apology?

Do you guys even know how to apologize?

If you truly don't want to apologize that's fine; the earlier part of the story was indeed deceptive. But why the hell are you cursing?

I learned it from Chu Kuang!

If you want to curse, curse at Chu Kuang—

Wait a minute!

Chu Kuang is me too!

Lin Yuan was almost driven to depression by these netizens, angrily putting down his phone.

...

Amidst the ever-changing currents of the internet.

The Primordial Chaos fans always maintained their silence.

At this moment.

In the largest chat group of The Primordial Chaos fans.

Suddenly someone broke the silence: "Have you seen the latest plot of 'Lotus Lantern'?"

The whole group instantly became lively.

It seemed everyone had been paying attention to the group messages, just keeping quiet until now. With someone taking the lead, The Primordial Chaos fans started popping up one after another.

"They did not demonize Yang Jian, but his character has changed too drastically."

"But I feel that this kind of Yang Jian is more fleshed out."

"Yeah."

"Compared to how The Primordial Chaos shaped Yang Jian, although glorious and righteous, it always felt like lacking depth."

"What are you talking about? It's nothing but a forced whitewash!"

"The screenwriter's whitewashing tactics are truly nauseating, it's clear they are just exploiting Yang Jian!"

"It's pointless to be stubborn now, I'm starting to like this Yang Jian."

"I've realized, actually, I don't really like The Primordial Chaos; I just like Erlang Shen. The Erlang Shen in 'Journey to the West' fits my aesthetics perfectly, tragic and beautiful, obedient yet unproclaimed, this is the Erlang Shen I imagine!"

"You've turned traitors, all been brainwashed by Yi An!"

"It's you who are stubbornly in denial, always unwilling to acknowledge the excellence of 'Journey to the West'. I used to be like that too, but such a 'Lotus Lantern', such an Erlang Shen, I'm thoroughly convinced."

The group actually started arguing.

A moment later.

Some people left the group.

One, two, three...

Numerous The Primordial Chaos fans began leaving the group!

The admin panicked: "Let's talk it out, don't leave, The Primordial Chaos fans are all one family!"

"It's better this way."

The group owner suddenly appeared.

The admin quickly said: "Group owner, please say something, we shouldn't ruin our harmony over this!"

"This isn't about ruining harmony."

The group owner said: "As you all know, I am a die-hard fan of Yang Jian. I created this group even for Yang Jian. Now, this group has diverged from my original intention."

The admin became anxious: "What do you mean by that?"

The group owner said: "I don't feel like talking, it's too painful. Seeing you argue is even worse. I don't like The Primordial Chaos as much as you do, I only care about my dear brother."

???

The next moment, the remaining group members received a message alert:

"The group owner has dissolved the group."

Some wanted to privately message the group owner, only to find that the owner's profile picture had turned into Yang Jian from 'Lotus Lantern'.

From that day on.

More The Primordial Chaos fans became fans of 'Journey to the West'.

To be exact, they became fans of 'Lotus Lantern', became fans of Yang Jian.

The remaining The Primordial Chaos fans were dumbfounded!

It was one thing for 'Journey to the West' to snatch The Primordial Chaos's position as Blue Star's number one myth. But now?'Journey to the West' even took away The Primordial Chaos's male lead!?

'Journey to the West' was directly undermining The Primordial Chaos's foundation!

The great battle between 'Journey to the West' and The Primordial Chaos, following 'Lotus Lantern', came to a definitive end!

Of course.

Not everyone was in a rush to declare their love online.

Most were still watching the show, posting comments on the internet, while opening up the finale of 'Lotus Lantern'.

The question on everyone's mind:

What will become of Yang Jian's finale?

——————

ps: This part of the story wraps up the plot, and I definitely won't touch on 'Everlasting Regret' again in future cultural writings. I've received your suggestions, criticisms, and encouragement. I decided to write this part because many readers haven't read Polluted White's earlier works, and judging by the performance and subscriptions, the results are still okay. However, Polluted White has decided to deepen communications with you all in the future, considering 'full-time artist' is probably the only book on the starting point that was written together by the author and the readers. Maybe it's because I've been thinking about asking you for plot outlines every day, has it led to a dependency?
