The melon-eating netizens heard the news and rushed over curiously. [Who is this? How can you be sure it is him?]
[Is he called Cao Rui? He is really unknown. I’ve never heard of him.]
[Is there any evidence? What about the owner of the post? Why just put a Weibo screenshot and then disappear?]
[I already asked through private messages. Just wait for a reply.]
[There is no need to wait. I just looked through his Weibo and he really seems to be related to Fu Han [picture].]
Everyone looked at the screenshot and found that it was another Weibo post from Cao Rui’s early days.
[Alas, it is another small role, a little policeman.]
Lin Luoqing’s black fans immediately jumped up: [Little policeman! Little policeman! See? This must be Fu Han!]
[Yes, even if there are so many policeman roles every day, isn’t the one that recently exploded Fu Han from Radiance? Has any other policeman exploded during the same period?]
[The timing in which he posted on Weibo is also correct. It is before the start of Radiance so it must be him.]
[Speaking of which, Lin Luoqing entered the crew of Radiance quite late, right? He wasn’t there when they started. It filmed for a while before he entered.]
[It is definitely Fu Han. After analyzing so many clues, who else can it be besides Lin Luoqing? He clearly wants to be popular so he directly grabbed other people’s roles. He is really shameless. It is simply insulting for Fu Han to be played by a villain like him.]
[Ahhh, why did he do such a thing? How dare he still play Fu Han? I feel sick for Fu Han!]
Lin Luoqing’s fans saw this and quickly helped Lin Luoqing refute the rumors. [Where is the proof? You just rely on these two screenshots to spread rumors. From what I see, the meaning of his Weibo post is that he dislikes the small role. Isn’t he dissatisfied with it?]
[Yes, Lin Luoqing joined the crew after filming started for a while. Isn’t it because he was dissatisfied with this small role so Lin Luoqing came to save them? Isn’t this also possible?]
[You know that Lin Luoqing is popular. Can you stop taking advantage of his hype? You aren’t popular but you love taking advantage of other people’s hype.]
[You can scold if there is proof. Now there is no proof but you have already started scolding. Will you apologize later if you scold him and turn out to be wrong?]
[Isn’t Lin Luoqing really powerful? He can see that Fu Han, who is only in four episodes, will explode and has to take this character by any means. Doesn’t he have the eyes of heaven? If this is true then his vision for choosing scripts is really amazing.]
[I’m convinced that it is some black fans. Their own master is embarrassed so they can only stare at Lin Luoqing every day. They also know that their master isn’t as good-looking as Lin Luoqing.]
For a time, the forum was full of gunpowder and a war between fans and black fans was going to break out. Wu Xinyuan saw the content of this forum and quickly contacted Director Wang to tell him about it.
Director Wang said, “Just this? Cao Rui is indeed the actor who was previously scheduled to play Fu Han but he clearly looked down on this role and considered Fu Han a small supporting role. Why is he acting strange now?”
“Don’t worry, leave this matter to me. I will help Luoqing refute the rumors in a moment.”
“You don’t need to be so deliberate.” In the end, Wu Xinyuan knew more about surfing the Internet than a director like Director Wang who was dedicated to creation. Sometimes, a deliberate explanation wouldn’t make people believe it and they would seem to care more about this matter.
Moreover, only the black fans were jumping around right now concerning Lin Luoqing’s matter. Only a few people believed it and even more people didn’t touch this black material at all. This type of method of debunking rumors would just spread this unwarranted black material and it wasn’t worth it.
“Aren’t you going to have a publicity event tomorrow?” Wu Xinyuan said, “At that time, there will definitely be reporters who ask you for your evaluation of the actors in the crew. When you evaluate Luoqing, say a few more words about how he joined the crew and this matter will be solved.”
Director Wang heard this and naturally agreed. “No problem. Then I will praise Luoqing tomorrow.”
Wu Xinyuan smiled. “Thank you, Director Wang.”
“No need. It is a trivial matter. Luoqing’s performance this time was so great that he brought a lot of attention to Radiance. I am very thankful to him.”
“Director Wang, if you have a suitable script in the future then you must remember to contact me.”
“Of course.” Director Wang laughed. “Luoqing is a good person and down to earth. Needless to say, I will definitely look for him if there is a suitable role. I am just afraid that he will be more and more popular later and there will be no schedule.”
“How come? There is always a schedule available when it comes to cooperating with you.”
Director Wang laughed again while secretly thinking that this person could really speak well.
The two of them exchanged a few more words before Wu Xinyuan hung up the phone.
He went to look at the progress of the war on the forum again. The number of fans on Lin Luoqing’s side was overwhelming and there was the favorability of the netizens toward Fu Han. It didn’t take too long to basically suppress the black fans.
It was just that the black fans were constantly making posts and impulsive fans kept replying. This led to black posts floating up from time to time on the homepage.
In addition, Lin Luoqing’s fans and the black fans had privately messaged Cao Rui for a while, but they didn’t get the result they wanted.
Wu Xinyuan laughed while feeling that this Cao Rui was quite capable. His words on Weibo were plausible and there was room to advance and retreat. He was an unknown star whose comments usually didn’t exceed 30. Now his comments had exceeded 300 but he was still silent. It was as if he didn’t know that his Weibo had caused a misunderstanding with others. He didn’t explain it and didn’t speak.
Even if it was just a simple complaint when he first posted on Weibo, things had developed to this point and he could be regarded as deliberately inducing fans to misunderstand in order to increase his exposure.
This type of personality deserved to not be popular right now.
Wu Xinyuan ignored him, arranged tomorrow’s publicity work with Lin Luoqing and went to sleep.
Cao Rui looked at the increasing number of private messages in the backend of Weibo and felt that he had never received so much attention before. He never thought that one of his complaint Weibo posts would end up like this. Therefore, thoughts that he shouldn’t have came to life.
He comforted himself that he wasn’t to blame. After all, he didn’t say that Lin Luoqing robbed his role. He only said that it was originally his role but it didn’t end up as him. Fu Han should indeed be played by him. He wasn’t lying. However, Lin Luoqing’s black fans smelled something and moved. If Lin Luoqing’s team insisted on accusing him of the crime, how could they blame him? Lin Luoqing could only blame himself for inciting black fans.
In addition, if he hadn’t given up the role of Fu Han then it would’ve been him who became popular. Now Lin Luoqing played this role and exploded in popularity so powerfully. So what if he was scolded a few times?
There was no less meat. On the contrary, it was Cao Rui who didn’t benefit.
Cao Rui thought so and didn’t reply to these private messages. Instead, he changed his account to anonymously submit some things to marketing accounts.
He was a bit clever. He just forwarded the corresponding forum post to the marketing accounts and asked them if it was real.
It was just that some of these marketing accounts had just sent positive content about Lin Luoqing to take advantage of his personality. At this time, they wouldn’t accept this black material that was slapping them in the face.
In addition, Wu Xinyuan had already talked to some of them and they all ignored this negative black material.
There were only some marketing accounts with low traffic that posted this content for the sake of popularity. They said that Lin Luoqing was suspected of grabbing the role of a small star and it was the role of Fu Han that was grabbed.
However, Lin Luoqing’s fans quickly retrieved the keywords and went to the corresponding Weibo to refute the rumors. [No rumors, no rumors. Fu Han’s scenes only make up four episodes and it isn’t even as good as ordinary male supporting roles. Who would grab such a role? People will only grab leading roles, not this type of supporting role.]
Netizens also had a good impression of Lin Luoqing. [It isn’t Lin Luoqing. He feels quite low-key and his acting skills are good. This type of person won’t steal a role.]
[I also don’t think it is Lin Luoqing. He has cooperated with my brother before and my brother praised him for being helpful. It definitely isn’t him.]
[Lin Luoqing’s position is so high and he still wants to grab a supporting role that is only starring in four episodes? This material is too fake. I am unfollowing.]
[Ah this… even if you want traffic, you can’t make up such fake materials. I should unfollow.]
[Hahah, the current bloggers really dare to say things. Fortunately, it isn’t a big marketing account and doesn’t mislead too many people. I want to thank you, I will unfollow you.]
[Before, I didn’t understand why bloggers were so confused. Now I understand [amused].]
The marketing accounts saw the netizens in the comments area unfollow them one by one while scolding at them, laughing at them, or saying sarcastic things. The marketing accounts quickly deleted this Weibo and pretended that nothing had happened.
The moment Cao Rui refreshed it, he saw that the Weibos no longer existed. He was simply envious and angry. These fans and netizens who helped Lin Luoqing speak should’ve been his. They should’ve helped him speak. Now they were helping Lin Luoqing just because Lin Luoqing picked up his role!
He slammed against the table and received nothing but pain.
Lin Luoqing still didn’t know anything about the scolding battle on the Internet. He was busy reading the script of ‘Return to Jade’, memorizing the lines and figuring out the psychological changes of Ye Yu in every stage.
“Go to sleep.” Ji Yuxiao came out after taking a shower. He sat on the bed and said to him, “Isn’t there work tomorrow? It is so late. Go to bed quickly.”
The moment Lin Luoqing heard this, he put down the script and entered Ji Yuxiao’s arms.
Ji Yuxiao hugged him and kissed him affectionately. Lin Luoqing quickly turned off the light, lowered his head and kissed him in the quilt.
