You can’t blame others and circumstances for everything, Zhou Lan can’t be 100% on her side, nor can she blame her for that.
Adults have their own thoughts and plans.
No matter what, Zhou Lan has given her full effort and been fair in dealing with her affairs.
Zhou Yun had no choice but to rely on her own self-reliance.
You can’t put all your hopes on others.
It was at this time that Song Chi’s message arrived.
Song Chi sent over a laughing emoji and then said: Our fate is not small, we are trending again.
Zhou Yun was not yet aware of the trending news, but after Song Chi’s reminder, she quickly logged into Weibo.
Once online, her unread messages exploded.
Sure enough, those who had insulted her had come back, their vulgar words casting a shadow over Zhou Yun’s heart.
Ironically, Song Chi’s fans had even given her the name "Princess Chengqian," mocking her for being able to act opposite Song Chi by relying on the big tree of her company.
Zhou Yun, with an expressionless face, skimmed through a few messages, then returned to WeChat and said: I’m baffled, I’m not in ’Spring Cold’.
Song Chi: You’re not in your company’s production? I thought you were.
Zhou Yun: I wished I could be, but the company didn’t assign me a role.
Song Chi: Such a big production, and your company didn’t arrange a role for you? Everyone outside is going crazy over it, saying that this drama is definitely the hit of next year.
Zhou Yun: Bitter smile.
Song Chi: I thought the news was deliberately released by your company to promote and hype you up.
Zhou Yun: I heard it was someone from our company who released the news, but the person who did it is a bit weird. He has nothing to do with ’Spring Cold’, he isn’t in charge of it, I have no idea why he would talk nonsense.
Song Chi suddenly made a direct phone call.
Zhou Yun was a bit surprised and answered.
Song Chi asked, "Who was the person who released the news?"
His voice sounded a bit lazy, as if he was resting.
"It seems to be Liu Zitong; he works with Yin Zishi." Zhou Yun asked, "Do you know Yin Zishi?"
"I do," Song Chi said. After a pause, he suddenly added, "I think I have an idea of what’s going on."
"The one in charge of the ’Spring Cold’ project is another Deputy General of your film company, Cheng Wei. ’Spring Cold’ being such a big project but having nothing to do with Yin Zishi, moreover, I heard that Yin Zishi and Cheng Wei have been at odds, fighting fiercely. With his grudges, both new and old, a word or two, stirring up some trouble, would be enough to cause problems for ’Spring Cold’."
Song Chi chuckled softly, continuing, "Releasing the news, seriously making it seem like both of us were going to act in it, would cause my fans to develop negative feelings towards ’Spring Cold’, opposing the drama. When the producers of ’Spring Cold’ clarify that neither of us are participating, my fans would still be predisposed to believe that their opposition led to this outcome, one way or another, causing a bad negative impact on ’Spring Cold’."
Listening to Song Chi’s analysis, Zhou Yun felt that it made sense.
"I had no idea about all these things going on behind the scenes."
"It’s normal for you not to know as you’re new to the industry."
Song Chi didn’t say much more, but with his status, it was normal for him to know about the longstanding grudges between Yin Zishi and Cheng Wei. Everyone knew that as long as Song Chi took on the drama, it would be profitable. With good product placement, it could even recoup the costs before filming began, and both men would have certainly wanted to get Song Chi for a role.
