Thus, under the announcement of the second male lead of "Conquest of the World," besides praises from bystanders and fans, a massive influx of Ze’s fans voiced their discontent. Although Ze’s fans publicly criticized the production team for being biased and intentionally undermining the male lead, some fans could not help but sarcastically mock Ye Xian in their remarks.
"Look, the toad has grown wings and dares to perch on the swan’s head now. Just because someone has gotten a bit of popularity recently, he used to be nothing but a rag, not even fit to wrap around Brother Ze’s feet, but now playing a secondary lead, he dares to steal the limelight from the lead?"
"Did everyone forget about how that person desperately clung and fawned over Brother Ze every day? Surely not? Surely not? Surely not?"
"I suspect someone’s financial backer is pushing hard again, otherwise why would he be announced in the middle of the night?"
"This secondary lead role must have been slept into, right?"
"We can’t blame the production team entirely, maybe the originally planned secondary lead wasn’t him at all, maybe someone cooed to their financial backer, and the backer changed the original actor."
"Ew, ew, ew stop talking, it feels so disgusting."
"Alright, Ze’s fans, let’s not stoop to this, he’s just a third-tier small star, does he even deserve us to argue with him? We’re just giving him a boost!"
What was originally a harmonious controlled comment section suddenly filled with discordant voices, escalating from criticizing character to personal attacks. Ye’s fans couldn’t tolerate this and fiercely took up their keyboards to retaliate.
"He’s panicking, he’s panicking, he’s panicking, seeing that his own styled photo isn’t as handsome as Brother Ye, now he’s caught the green-eyed monster!"
"Alas, it’s 0202 already and he’s still dredging up those stale accounts, his side can only rely on past glory. Don’t people understand how quickly new male flows replace the old ones in the entertainment industry? It’s time for someone to step down!"
"Our Brother Ye hasn’t even acted yet and some households are already panicking?"
"Brother Ye is awesome! Only acted as a male character in ’Business World’ and already got heat from top-tier influencers, such potential!"
"Heh, we originally wanted to keep the peace, but since someone ran to our doorstep to start trouble, don’t blame us for getting nasty."
"Bickering is senseless, quietly waiting for Crown Prince Shen’s popularity to smack down certain influencers, I believe in Brother Ye!"
In the middle of the night, back and forth went Ze’s fans and Ye’s fans, from initially implicit mentions to overt sparring, from a few participating to famous fans joining in. Jiang Wanze, owning sixty million fans, is undoubtedly one of the top influencers in the entertainment industry, while Ye Xian, due to his recent leisure days and KPL championship, also attracted a large following, qualifying him as a popular fresh face. Neither side would relent, fighting tirelessly until dawn.
At five in the morning, Ye Xian was awakened by a phone call.
Rubbing her bleary eyes, her mind still not fully awake, she then heard Ye Shaowen’s voice, "Xiao Yezi, I’m about to land, come pick me up!"
"I’m not fully awake yet, don’t you have a secretary?"
"I just missed you, Brother, and I also have things to tell you~"
Ye Shaowen softened his voice, cooing as if to a child, even sung her a wake-up song.
Ye Xian rubbed her fluffy hair, reluctantly getting up, "Fine, you wait for me! I have something to discuss with you too."
After the phone was hung up, Ye Shaowen strangely felt that his little sister’s voice sounded somewhat angry. She didn’t have a temper when waking up, did she? She had things she wanted to discuss with him?
That she knew about the things he had done?
