Arc 1: Part 53
Ji Yu looked towards Xi Tong Su almost fearfully. As Xi Tong Su gave him a slight smile, he quickly turned away, trembling in his heart, even too scared to look directly at her.
"How could this happen? How could Xi Tong Su overshadow my performance!"
He was an experienced actor, an award-winner, and the star of the show. It simply couldn't be.
During a break, his assistant brought over a bottle of water and a small fan to serve Ji Yu. Ji Yu waved his hand, letting the assistant kneel down and use the small fan to cool him off.
He drank some of the cold water huffily. Suddenly, something came to his mind, prompting a sharp query, "Did you turn off the live stream?"
The assistant looked stunned, his face immediately racked with fear. He fumbled in his pocket for his phone, blurted out in panic, "N-No, I didn't turn it off..."
He hurriedly pushed the stop button, only to be kicked violently by a furious Ji Yu.
"Worthless!"
By then, in the live stream room, the chats had exploded.
"What the heck? Did Ji Yu just ask his assistant whether the live stream was on?"
"But didn't the assistant just say that he had surreptitiously started the stream? Ji Yu somehow knew about it?"
“This was surely orchestrated by Ji Yu! Man, Ji Yu really has deep plots, playing such a trick?"
"You black fans, always spreading bad words about Yu Yu, he just wanted us fans to see more about how the show is filmed. How did that become a devious plan? It's been said, Ji Yu adores his fans!"
"This is hilarious, you deluded fans are a joke. On Weibo, some say Xi Tong Su has no acting skills. From what I see, the one with no acting skills is clearly Lan Shuer."
"With so many NGs, Xi Tong Su never made a mistake, it’s all Lan Shuer's fault!"
"Here's a joke, Ji Yu, the godly actor who never has an NG."
"Here's a joke, some trolls say today's NG was definitely because of Xi Tong Su."
"Here's a joke, Lan Shuer and Xi Tong Su competing in acting skills."
"Here's a joke… can’t think of any more, the next one is on you!"
"Here's a joke, you above have ruined the rhythm."
"Ha ha ha ha…"
When Lan Shuer shakily opened her phone, this part of the live stream had already been recorded by someone, edited, and posted on Weibo. The comment section was full of sarcastic remarks, the harsh, biting words hurting her eyes.
Even several well-known directors and screenwriters chimed in.
"Ah, Old Zhang, what are you doing? I've already said that, although Ji Yu is famous, he's inconsistent in reflecting his true abilities. It's going to be hard to direct him, let alone involve Lan Shuer, that decorative vase, into the crew? Miss Xi's acting is far better.”
"I've seen Liu Ming's script, the first scene’s requirements aren't challenging at all. How could there be so many NGs?"
"Miss Xi's acting is really impressive @SuSuYouTong. Miss Xi, I have a new film about the Republic-era. Would you be interested in performing in it?"
Lan Shuer stood up in a panicked fluster, not noticing that she knocked the stool aside. She stumbled to Ji Yu, lowering her voice to urgently ask.
"What's going on? Why are these old timers endorsing Xi Tong Su? Didn't you buy the water army and marketing?"
"Are you foolish? How could I bribe them? They're old directors as prestigious as Director Zhang. It's hard enough for me just to meet them, let alone bribe them!"
Ji Yu was already under a lot of stress, and the questioning from Lan Shuer only fuelled his frustration. He snapped, "And besides, isn't it because of your poor acting? Since you knew you were just a decorative vase, why did you compete with Xi Tong Su in the first place?"
Lan Shuer was fuming and trembled with anger. Her eyes blazing, she argued, "You're her fiance, you didn't even know her acting skills are so good. How could I have known? And who am I going up against her for anyway?"
"You can do as you please for whoever you want, anyway it's none of my business!"
