Chapter 244: Chapter 245: A Round of Applause_1 Chapter 244: Chapter 245: A Round of Applause_1 This time, it would basically be impossible for Qiao Xiaren to eliminate the bad impression vince had of her. Shen Ruyin couldn’t stand it and thought it would be good to jam her up a bit.
As a public figure, reputation matters a lot. As long as she played a trick on Qiao Xiaren first, the plagiarism would stick with her. After all, the entertainment industry never needs the truth, just scandals and gossip.
Worst comes to worst, they would issue some sort of statement through their lawyers, but in the end, they could only let it go.
On the other side, seeing the praises for Qiao Xiaren online, Shen Ruyin’s diehard fans couldn’t sit still. They all ran to the official fan forum of her fanatical fans to stir up trouble.
Basically, every celebrity has fans who would set up a forum for them, much like an interest group. There, fans can sign in every day to earn points. Of course, there are also many people who mindlessly spread negativity without reason.
Ruyin’s Lil’ Cotton Padded Jacket: Ha, thinking you’re quite something after playing a Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free!
After Ruyin’s Lil’ Cotton Padded Jacket spat out several slanderous remarks, she felt a lot better. But not half a minute later, she received a private message on the forum: “Yes, your Ruyin is the electricity, your Ruyin is the light, your Ruyin is the only idiot, right? All of you get lost for me!”
Seeing that she had been slammed by Humpty, Qiao Xiaren’s top fan, Ruyin’s Lil’ Cotton Padded Jacket was so annoyed. She immediately tapped out a few hundred-word rant on the keyboard, but when she pressed ‘publish’, the forum stated that she had been blocked.
At a second glance, every single negative and slanderous post on the forum had been deleted completely.
At this point, her burning rage turned into a sense of oppression. Damn it, she had just spent all that time crafting a rant and now she couldn’t even post it!
She had originally planned to make others uncomfortable, but instead found herself choked up with unvented anger! Taking another look at the forum, there seemed to be many new posts from new users. All of them were positive reviews of Demon Immortal.
A lot of Shen Ruyin’s fans actually switched sides because the character Nangong Qin played by Qiao Xiaren was just too cute and lovable. This was totally different from the dark character of Demon Immortal in the trailer, but every single one of her portrayals made people want to lick their screens.
No matter what, Qiao Xiaren skyrocketed in popularity due to her role as Nangong Qin. Demon Immortal clearly became the talk of the town, with discussions about the characters and plot everywhere.
“Did you watch that drama on Jiangbei TV station last night? The one aired weekly, Demon Immortal?”
“Yes, I did, isn’t everyone talking about it recently? You, as a big man, usually don’t watch such things, do you?” a female colleague teased.
“I had no choice. My wife insisted that I watch it with her. I have to admit, there’s this good-looking actor whose performance was absolutely amazing. I don’t know what got into me yesterday. I watched the premiere and even went on to rewatch the trailer with her. As a grown man, I almost cried.”
“Haha, the drama is really good indeed, that actor’s name is Qiao Xiaren, right?”
Overhearing these conversations inadvertently, Qiao Xiaren felt pleased that she had portrayed such a rich and emotional character. She pulled her hat down and walked towards her car.
Due to the sudden increase in popularity of Demon Immortal, Qiao Xiaren had to be more careful when going out than before.
Her cell phone chimed. A message notification for Qiao Xiaren.
Yeqian v: Sis, are you there?
Yeqian rolled his eyes, leaned lazily on the chair, and continued to send another message: Sis, your portrayal of Nangong Qin is so lifelike, so cute, that even a man like me who hates romance was attracted. Honestly, the scenes of you flirting with Mo Guanyu made me laugh out loud.
