The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 19 - 18. Whats the matter with you modern people

Chapter 19: 18. What’s the matter with you modern people?

Chapter 19: 18. What’s the matter with you modern people?

The show had been broadcast for just two hours, and fans had already increased by a hundred thousand, which delighted Sister Luo no end.

What made her even happier was that many of the original five hundred thousand fans had started to convert from haters to followers, and the comment section was no longer just bombarding the character.

“[After watching the variety show, I realized that Lin Yiyi’s acting is just excellent, she herself is beautiful and talented.]”

“[I’m a fan, I’m a fan, just for the sake of this beauty alone.]”

“[I’m dead laughing, I actually think the male lead isn’t good enough for Lin Yiyi, can you believe it?]”

“[To the one above, you’re not the only one with that thought, do you boldly guess that Lin Yiyi finds the male lead too annoying so she does the opposite just to irk him?]”

“[This hypothesis is so credible, I almost believed it!]”

“[Are you guys poisoned? But… let’s go, beauties, let’s ask Brother Yilin!]”

As a result, there were indeed netizens who directly went to Zhang Yilin’s Weibo to @ him, and these people were actually mostly his own fans.

“[Brother, make it clear, the aloof persona in the drama is just an act, right? As your neighbor, Lin Yiyi probably knows your true nature, so she’s been persistently chasing after you to make you hate her?]”

Isn’t it just a coincidence that Lin Yiyi could always find opportunities to act out, indeed taking advantage of being neighbors with the male lead?

“[Lin Yiyi: We’re neighbors, who doesn’t know who? Do you think I could be interested in you?]”

“[Brother, where is your aloofness? You’ve been deceiving us for so long, that’s so cunning!]”

In a certain drama crew far away in the imperial capital, Zhang Yilin was now bowing his head in misery, listening to a scolding from his agent.

Time rewinds to five minutes earlier——

When the agent finally saw from his phone how his artist was excitedly running around on the set of “Happy Together” after winning a game.

He: “…”

“What is this?!”

Zhang Yilin had always maintained a high-end, overbearing boss image over his career, with an overall lofty image, so why does he now give off a vibe of being crudely enthusiastic?

“What’s the matter with you, didn’t I tell you to hold back a bit when recording the show, huh?”

“I’m not by your side for one day, and in one day, you cause me so much trouble, do you realize your image is ruined?”

“What did you tell me after the recording? ‘Brother, rest assured, I performed really well this time——'”

“What performance! You call that a performance?”

“As a man, not being able to paint is one thing, but needing to be rescued by a young lady when climbing, tell me, aren’t you embarrassed!”

Zhang Yilin’s agent was a top-level figure in the industry, a seasoned veteran, who had brought up three Best Actors, two Best Actresses, and one King of Songs.

Even though Zhang Yilin was a red-hot talent, at this moment, he didn’t dare to openly defy such a person.

After all… his image really had collapsed——

He silently took on an attentive pose, yet his little hands under the table were sneakily slipping away, until he saw the unusual increase in fan numbers.

“Bro?”

“Calling bro won’t help!”

“It’s not that…”

“Don’t bring up anything else, this isn’t over, wait till you lose a ton of fans and you’ll cry!”

“Bro, my fan numbers went up.”

“What fan numbers… wait, what did you say?”

“I really gained fans, more than three hundred thousand.”

Zhang Yilin brought up his little hand, very cooperatively handing over his phone to the agent.

The agent took it, flipped through comments for a long time, and looked back at him with a rather strange gaze.

“Rural enthusiasm can attract fans?”

***

As a leading young actor, Zhang Yilin’s fans were countless, with tens of millions of active fans to boast about.

When they finished watching the variety show and discovered that their brother wasn’t aloof at all but somewhat crudely enthusiastic, surprisingly, they accepted it very quickly.

A portion of them even managed to trace the online connection to Tang Shu, directly asking her to look after their unruly idol.

“[Crawled over here from our Xiao Linzi’s place, I have to thank Miss Sister for the sake of our male god!]”

“[Same here, Miss Sister really had it tough, as fans of Xiao Linzi, we apologize for the trouble he caused you.]”

“[Tang Shu, you’ve had a hard time, it’s not easy bringing up a child, right?]”

[Miss Tang Shu, next time you go on a variety show, please keep an eye on that Xiao Linzi. With his tarnished reputation, he’s not someone just anyone can pick up——]

[As his fans, we’re really worried to death.]

[Sister chases him in the drama, but despises him in real life, love this twist!]

[666, from now on Tang Shu is my new goddess, not only is she beautiful but also smart!]

[An 18th-tier small star actually led a top-tier young actor, can you believe it?]

[I have to say, sister really looks like a variety show newbie, oddly cute and slightly dumb.]

Sister Luo looked at the comments, laughing so hard she could barely contain herself, her laughter growing louder and louder.

Tang Shu glanced over and saw the last comment.

She froze.

Cute… and… dumb?

Are they talking about her?

Do you know who I am?

Tang Shu pinched her cellphone and replied with two words to the comment.

[Tang Shu: How dare you! @I’m the Invincible Cutie: Sister really looks like a variety show newbie, oddly cute and slightly dumb.]

Sister Luo, caught off guard and out of habit, refreshed the page and saw the new status update, nearly jumping out of her skin.

“Ancestral spirit! Please be more careful, we finally got some fans and you’re about to scare them all off!”

The manager felt like crying, quickly putting down her phone and getting close to Tang Shu’s face.

“Listen to me, as a star you have to be careful with your words, you’re a newcomer now, you need to be as gentle as the spring breeze with your fans…”

On and on, talking non-stop for two minutes.

At first, Tang Shu listened attentively with ears perked, after all, this was advice from an experienced manager.

Her phone, tucked in her embrace, began playing a series of notification sounds, providing a background melody.

However, when she caught a glimpse of the content displayed on the screen…

“Sister Luo, I think you need to take a break.”

She had no choice but to interrupt.

“…What??”

Tang Shu silently lifted her phone in front of her.

[hahahaha~~~ Sister, how can you be so cute? Daring too!]

[How dare you! How can you say that about our Shushu? She’s clearly… the high priestess of being adorably dumb, hahaha!]

[New variety star confirmed.]

[She’s fierce, so fierce. I won’t lie, she scared me.]

[Scared me +1]

[Scared me +10086]

…

Sister Luo: “???”

Utterly bewildered.

“Young people these days——”

Her two-word response blew up in the comments like fireworks, with likes skyrocketing out of control.

And Tang Shu, the instigator, buried her face in the plush Big Horse Monkey, stewing in her own irritation.

What’s wrong with you modern people?

You find it funny when I lose my temper, please take this seriously!

In my Tang Sect, when I say ‘How dare you!’, it signifies that I’m angry.

The consequences are severe!

“Welcome——”

The next second, Tang Shu had yanked the battery out.
