Chapter 561: 560. Tang Shu floated away

[The power of capital, huh? There were already rumors that Tang Shu had a strong backing, and now what else is there to say? Even Director Li has given in~~~]

[This woman is something else, making big names like Mu Ziwei attend auditions just for the sake of going through the motions.]

[My god, if they’ve already decided internally, why even hold auditions? What is this? Toying with people!]

[Where’s the fairness? Where??? How can such a thing still happen in our society, and the production team doesn’t even offer an explanation?!]

...

The more Zheng Yuehong read, the more delighted she felt. When she exited the comments section and refreshed the page again, she found that the Weibo post by the big V had already reached 500,000 shares, and the comments section had turned into a disaster zone, with almost everyone cursing Tang Shu.

"It’s so satisfying, it’s times like these that netizens really come through!"

Zhou Jing, however, was paying closer attention, "Haven’t you noticed? A lot of these netizens are fans of us auditionees."

"What?"

She hadn’t noticed the details, but it didn’t matter anymore. Once Tang Shu had angered the netizens, her hold on the role was unstable.

"Then our fans are really awesome, loving us so much."

Zhou Jing: "..."

She fell silent for a moment, then opened her agent’s WeChat and sent them a message.

Compared to Zheng Yuehong’s optimism, Zhou Jing clearly had more on her mind. If Tang Shu had a backer capable of making Director Li compromise, then she could probably smooth this over too.

Since the role of Lu Xiangtong was destined to elude her, she wouldn’t wade into these muddy waters. It was better to withdraw early and focus her energy on other roles.

Getting her agent to rein in her fans would suffice. As for everything else, let others worry about the ruckus.

"You go ahead, I have another audition. I’m leaving now."

"Goodbye, Sister Jing."

Zheng Yuehong waved carelessly, her attention still fixed on trending topics, excitedly leaving likes everywhere.

There were quite a few people who shared her sentiment. Many actors who went to the audition were getting restless. Some followed Zheng Yuehong’s lead in liking posts and even roused their own fans.

The fan bases of various artists took on the mantle of "defending their idols," not only berating Tang Shu on her Weibo but even affecting the Corridor Pavilion production team, demanding an explanation.

Once Mu Ziwei’s fans heard the news, they went into full battle mode, directing their attacks straight at Tang Shu herself.

Actors personally liking the post caught the attention of several marketing accounts, which further amplified the controversy.

Terms like [Zheng Yuehong likes the post] popped up one after another, solidifying the belief of many netizens even more.

"With so many actors from the auditions liking the post, it seems this incident is real."

"Do we even need to say it? Tang Shu has completely incited public anger this time."

"Thinking about it, who does things like she does? The production team too, how can they tolerate such things just because of someone’s background?"

"I originally thought Tang Shu was good, but I never expected her to pull such a stunt. She had been endorsed by the officials in vain."

"Obviously, she’s gotten too arrogant!"

Among the auditioning actors, only a few could maintain the same rationality as Zhou Jing, staying out of the fray, not causing trouble.

That afternoon, while Tang Shu was still holed up in the lab analyzing data, the hot search about [Tang Shu being pre-selected by the production team] shot up from tenth place and, by around nine o’clock in the evening, secured the top spot.

At the same time, [Actors from all sides liking posts] and [Tang Shu has gotten arrogant] also made it onto the hot search list.
