Chapter 2921: Hateful and Pathetic
It was actually very easy to suppress a hot topic.
The reason why some news were so popular was because of the media’s constant pursuit and attention. Just like Gu Xingze’s memorial service, the coverage on the internet was overwhelming, so it naturally became more popular.
When all the media outlets stopped paying attention to this matter, the popularity quickly subsided!
Other than Gu Xingze’s hardcore fans, the public’s interest in this matter was limited. If the media did not report it, they would naturally forget about it.
Qin Zhou felt that the best form of respect for Xingze was to give him some peace and quiet.
After spending a lot of money to bribe the various media outlets, all the first-tier media outlets finally stopped paying attention to this matter, as though they had collectively lost their memory of the matter.
Soon, the entertainment circle returned to peace.
The media no longer covered this matter. Even though there were still many fans who were extremely persistent, it remained difficult to stir up any waves.
The popularity of Gu Xingze on the internet continued to wane.
On television, all the programs and advertis.e.m.e.nts related to him were taken down immediately.
“Extreme Youth” was also ordered to stop all its promotions during this period.
Qin Zhou hoped that the public would forget about Gu Xingze’s pa.s.sing as soon as possible and minimize the damage to others.
Especially Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+.
Almost everyone thought that Gu Xingze’s death had something to do with her.
Even Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ herself was convinced that she was the culprit behind Gu Xingze’s death.
However, Qin Zhou did not think so.
Just like what Gu Xingze had said to Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ in the video, “I’m willing to love you with my life.”
Although this love was indeed a little heavy to bear.
Perhaps he did not think too much at that time. It was just his reflex to protect her.
His most selfish thought was probably that he hoped she’d preserve memories of him in her heart, even if it were only a second of it.
He probably did not expect that what would eventuate, was this sort of final remembrance.
This was not his intention.
…
“Lethal Beauty” was nearing its final episode.
Qin Yuyan’s ending left the audience sighing.
The character Qin Yuyan had been perfectly interpreted by Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+. Even Gu Xiaoyang had not expected that a new actress could be so thorough in her understanding of a character, and bring it to live with such fine acting skills!
In the entire series, she was probably the most tragic and authentic character.
The female protagonist, Qin Changle, played by Lin Zhi, made a clear distinction between love and hate. Even though she had the characteristics of a female lead in a period drama, Qin Yuyan’s character portrayed the selfishness of human nature to the extreme.
She became a demon and a fool, for the sake of love.
She went from an innocent and harmless girl to someone who would risk her life and scheme against everything for love, ending up in a pathetic state.
On the verge of death, she lamented to the male lead played by Hua Jin, “Do you know that for you, I risked everything, so that the world is yours for the taking?! But in the end, I realized that my greatest mistake was to have fallen in love with you. You hate my viciousness, but in the same way, I hate your heartlessness. What can I do? There’s nothing I won’t do for your attention, even if it’s just a glance from you…”
She cried herself hoa.r.s.e, and the audience too, broke down in tears.
A pathetic yet hateful character.
But that was what made it all the more authentic.
The selfishness of love and hate was portrayed to perfection by Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+.
In the end, many of her haters among the audience turned into fans. They really liked the role of Qin Yuyan!
