The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul
Chapter 568 - 567. The third bomb

Chapter 568: 567. The third bomb

Netizens were stunned.

"Holy sh*t, was Tang Shu also a crew member of ’Heroes in Troubled Times’??"

"I watched the movie twice, yet I never noticed these two words in such an exciting opening?"

"Honestly, we, the moviegoers, just look at the cast list, and really, no one pays much attention to whatever the name of a consultant is..."

"emmm, can I say that I did see it at the time but didn’t think much of it..."

That comment spoke for quite a few netizens.

Who would have thought that Tang Shu was that Tang Shu? Even if her name was seen, most would assume it was just someone with the same name, given the stark difference between the two.

Many netizens excitedly started buzzing, this truly counted as big news.

Tang Shu became famous outside her usual circle, and not as an actress.

"So, Tang Shu actually has the skills and experience, no wonder Director Li favored her—"

"Holy shit, so Director Li is killing two birds with one stone?"

"Suddenly realized ’Heroes in Troubled Times’ really got a bargain, they didn’t spend a penny, whereas ’Corridor Pavilion’ is a different story, black and white hhahaha~~~"

In a film and television city elsewhere, martial arts consultant Sun Yu hummed twice after seeing the news during a break.

"This is nowhere near the full story, you think just being a courtesy and props consultant is jaw-dropping? I haven’t even told you, even as a martial arts consultant, Tang Shu could handle it with no pressure!"

Thinking back on the fear he felt under Tang Shu’s command in ’Heroes in Troubled Times’, Sun Yu shivered.

Damn it, he was supposed to be the one giving directions, but it turned into Tang Shu teaching him, and the key was he learned a great deal!

Was there any other martial arts consultant with less authority than him? Probably not a second one to be found in the entire entertainment industry.

Online, these three Weibo posts caused an uproar among netizens.

And the comment section of Tang Shu’s homepage was more explosive than ever before, with both old and new fans blowing up.

[Damn, as an old fan, I thought nothing could excite me, but look what she did!]

[My blood pressure’s through the roof—]

[Above, what’s that compared to me, I’ve got the three-highs!]

[Bah, sounds more like you’re high school senior.]

[The uncle will always shock you, that’s no empty talk—]

[Initially thought I knew the uncle well, damn, turns out the clown was me all along!]

[Aside from ’got fooled by her again’, what else can I say???]

[No words can describe how stunned I am right now, my jaw dropped, okay!]

[Enough said, I’m split open.]

[So, what else is the uncle hiding from us? Is she an endless pit???]

...

No one could answer that, even the well-adjusted old fans were shattered to pieces this time, their view of life and the world shattered.

However, do you think the drama ends here?

Of course not!

The consequence of provoking Director Li was not so easily brushed off.

Inside the ’Corridor Pavilion’ crew, after publishing a message, Lu Gang started snickering with his fruit-brand laptop, his expression simply couldn’t be described by the word "sleazy."

Others bustling about the crew saw this and shook their heads in pity.

"This kid, he must’ve been driven mad by Director Li—"

"Another one gone crazy, this Great Demon King, how many youngsters will he torment~~~~"

"They’ve all gone bonkers, looks like another one’s getting replaced, poor kid!"

Lu Gang, completely oblivious to the pity others felt for him, saw the exploding messages online and began editing new content.

It wasn’t long before his right hand moved the mouse and pressed the "send" button.

"Hehehe, you dared to slander our crew, now let’s see if you don’t get annihilated."

You’re an actor, who could you possibly offend if not Director Li, huh? Are you tired of living?

Jumping to conclusions without understanding the situation, this Mu Ziwei must have got carried away after a trip abroad.

Lu Gang had no sympathy for such people, let alone any tenderness for women; on top of that, his impression of Tang Shu was very positive, so which side he should take went without saying.

On the fruit-branded computer, a small circle was swirling gently, and almost instantaneously, the words "Posted successfully" appeared.

The third bomb was delivered.

Thus, the third Weibo post of the day from the official account of "Corridor Pavilion" was successfully sent.

***

While the online spectators were busily gobbling up the juicy news, their cell phones received another push notification.

"Eh? The crew has posted another Weibo?"

"It’s not over yet? Is this thing addictive or what!"

People glanced at the notification, took another look at the comments they hadn’t finished reading, and promptly clicked on the push link.

"Forget it, I’ll just consume the latest gossip, I’ll come back and finish the rest later!"

Consequently, many saw the latest Weibo message:

[Official Weibo VIP of "Corridor Pavilion": To our most expected Lu Xiangtong @Tang Shu, discussion about cast selection, MOV...]

The content was as succinct as ever, a single sentence and it was done, followed by an attached video clip.

In the video, it was the voting part after the audition of more than twenty actors. Under Director Li’s guidance, only Zhou Jing and Mu Ziwei had close votes, but it was quite clear that this authoritative director was not too satisfied with either of them.

Until the end, when he suggested letting Tang Shu have a try...

The video abruptly ended.

But what happened after this video, everyone knew without guessing—it was the audition footage of Tang Shu from this morning.

Now it all connected!

The netizens were once again dumbfounded!

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit~~~~ I’m split open again!"

"Can’t deny it, I’ve now become the famous painting ’The Scream’—"

"So that’s how Tang Shu got the role, case closed!!!"

"emmmm, am I the only one who noticed Tang Shu voted for Mu Ziwei?"

"Not just you, I saw it too. Tang Shu clearly had no intention of competing for the role and even cast her vote for Mu Ziwei, but in the end... haha."

The word "haha" told the whole story.

The smart ones, upon seeing this video and recalling the live-streaming incident at noon, figured out the truth after a bit of thought.

That interview with Mu Ziwei during the live stream was clearly intended to mislead fans and netizens!

"What internal agreement, what powerful backer, turns out it was all nonsense?"

"I seem to hear the sound of face-slapping, hhhhhh~~~~"

"Just asking, does Mu Ziwei’s face hurt?"

"Sisters, let’s not forget that internet-famous blogger who believed in her friend...."

This remark indeed reminded the netizens.

Inside Starshine Media, Shen Yan, who had witnessed the day’s events, hurriedly searched for that Weibo blogger after reading the comment.

"Oh my—how did their followers drop from over eight million to just over three million?"

This was more miraculous than a roller coaster ride! The drop was even more dramatic than at noon.
