Chapter 142 - An Ignorant Fool Is Hating on Her Again
Chapter 142: Chapter 142: An Ignorant Fool Is Hating on Her Again
The box office sales of ‘Female Fortress Leader’ had already exceeded four hundred million yuan. The film that was originally thought to be destined to flop and incur losses actually became a sleeper hit.
That was not at all. As the popularity of ‘Female Fortress Leader’ soared higher, many foreign cinemas began to screen the film.
Tao Wei confidently began to explain everything that happened back then.
Society is pragmatic and people tend to listen to those who are popular.
Many had already begun to believe Tao Wei.
Yan Jinyi and Zhuang Heng were on the hot search list almost everyday.
Just when everyone was discussing the plot with great interest, two hot search topics made it to the list.
“Lin Conggui was originally supposed to be played by Liu Ran.”
“Yan Jinyi snatched the role from her.”
The source of the hot search was a Weibo post that Liu Ran posted.
“Liu Ran: It’s such a pity that I wasn’t around when Director Tao personally approached me to star in his film. I love the role of Lin Conggui, but I’m not fated with it. Actually, I’ve always dreamed of being a bandit leader since I was a child. I missed it this time.”
As the new titleholder of ‘Best Actress’, Liu Ran’s fan base was not something that the former Best Actress Cheng Ruoxue could compare to.
Soon, a bunch of sour fans began to send their replies.
“Someone rose to fame using a role that she snatched. Unfortunately, Liu Ran had to get slammed even after working hard. She’s just an actress, she can’t decide the script.”
“It’s just bullshit involving a certain background actress. She’s so disgusting that she actually tried to snatch for the role. I’m guessing she got the role because she seduced and cozied up to Third Young Master, right?”
“Wow, if Liu Ran played Lin Conggui, she would have done an excellent job! Her acting chops are far better!”
“I do like the Lin Conggui played by Yan Jinyi, but I’d prefer if Liu Ran played it. I ship Liu Ran with Zhuang Heng and I will support it forever.”
Yan Jinyi had been focusing her attention on the box office sales lately and hence hadn’t paid attention to Weibo for a long time.
At this moment, she was holding onto a tablet and having a video call with Tao Wei who was grinning widely. “Jinyi, thank you and Second Young Mistress Huo so much. Speaking of which, is Second Young Mistress Huo still too busy to meet us?”
Yan Jinyi assented perfunctorily.
“Ah, Second Young Mistress Huo is just like my savior, she really is. Without Second Young Mistress Huo’s support, I’m afraid I’ll still be living in darkness. In fact, I won’t even have the chance to stand up for myself.”
Yan Jinyi’s eyebrows twitched.
“By the way, you were the one who roped the heir of Hengyuan Real Estate to invest in our film, right? Not only have you helped me resolve my troubles, you also played the role of Lin Conggui well.”
“You’re flattering me.”
Tao Wei chattered endlessly while Huo Qingyuan suddenly rushed down from upstairs. “Second Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, someone…”
Before Huo Qingyuan could finish, she saw the threatening gaze in Yan Jinyi’s eyes and hurriedly shut up.
Tao Wei got excited and asked, “Second Sister-in-law? Is it Second Young Mistress Huo? Yan Jinyi, are you at the Huo Family’s home?”
Yan Jinyi denied expressionlessly, “A distant relative visited me.”
“Is she calling you Second Sister-in-law? Jinyi, are you secretly married?”
Yan Jinyi would never admit that she was a married woman.
“I’m going to be a beautiful bachelorette for 500 years, bye.”
Sensing that she seemed to have made a mistake, Huo Qingyuan carefully shifted her gaze onto Yan Jinyi. “Second Sister-in-law, I just saw that someone sent you hate and got agitated. I really didn’t do it on purpose.”
Yan Jinyi thought, ‘Which ignorant fool is hating on me?’
“Who?”
“Huh?”
“Which idiot is tired of living? How dare they hate on me.”
Huo Qingyuan handed her cell phone to Yan Jinyi and said, “Liu Ran, she said that she should have been the female lead of Female Fortress Leader, but you snatched the role from her.”
