Chapter 729: Bo Yimo: Too Dramatic
"Why was the role suddenly changed? Is there something shady going on in the production team? We want Sisi back!"
"Zheng Qing, you b****—, you stole Bo Si’s role, we remember it all. You’re not as good-looking as Sisi, your personality isn’t as nice as Sisi’s, how dare you steal her role!"
"Exactly! You look so muscular, how do you have the nerve to join the show!"
...
The more popular the show, the more abuse Zheng Qing had to endure.
Zheng Qing was also very confused, she was probably the most innocent in all this, she didn’t know anything. Director Wang asked her to join the show, and she agreed without hesitation. She didn’t know anything else, alright!
But netizens, without distinguishing right from wrong, just unleashed their chaos. Even though Zheng Qing was easygoing by nature, she couldn’t really handle it.
That afternoon, Director Wang issued a statement, the gist of which was that Bo Si accidentally got injured during the show and was hospitalized, and it had no relation to any artist; it was our responsibility, and we’re genuinely very sorry.
If it’s not related to the artists, then is it related to the production team?
Netizens started making wild conjectures, linking it to previous scenes from "Survival in the Wild" where Tong Yan and Xiao Zhi got injured. Does this production team have a curse? Whatever they film, someone gets hurt.
Fans, feeling sorry for their artists, began to boycott their idols’ participation in the show, putting Director Wang back in the spotlight.
Seeing this, Director Wang felt utterly heartbroken.
But having weathered many storms, facing this again was already a calm sea, and his mood improved a lot.
This matter could be resolved easily. Like before, if Tong Yan herself stood up and clarified the matter, the production team’s days would be much easier.
Of course, it depended on the artists’ self-awareness. If the artists didn’t speak up, they couldn’t force them to say anything, right?
For a time, the production team faced various attacks.
The production team was loyal, so naturally Zheng Qing wouldn’t stand idly by.
She issued a statement at the same time, the gist being: Everyone in the production team is great, the safety measures are in place, having worked together for so long, there’s never been an injury, willing to continue the cooperation, etc.
By the time Zheng Qing’s agent found out, it was too late.
Oh, Zheng Qing, could you not join the fray in times like these? Isn’t the criticism you’re getting enough?
Is this the time to talk about loyalty? Didn’t you see that other artists haven’t said anything? Why are you stirring things up!
The agent was already speechless at her actions.
After Zheng Qing spoke up, naturally, others joined in as well.
Minor actors wouldn’t miss such an opportunity for collaboration, especially with so many speaking up; not joining in would make them look bad.
Bo Yimo and Zheng Qing almost simultaneously, with swagger, posted on Weibo: Too dramatic.
Just those two simple words were incredibly impressive.
Those two words explained a lot.
Bo Si got injured because he was being dramatic, and it was a self-inflicted wound, unrelated to others.
That was much clearer than what other artists said, and thus, much more effective.
Bo Yimo’s fanbase was incredibly united, and whenever Bo Si’s fans showed up, they were swiftly extinguished.
Their Young Master Mo was a good man. If Young Master Mo said so, then the problem lay with others.
After "Pretend Couple" aired, Bo Yimo attracted countless more fans, and his relationship with Tong Yan made everyone envious.
Artists spoke up in unison, managing to ease some of the public opinion, but observant netizens noticed that with so many speaking up, there was one person who remained silent — Tong Yan.
