Xu Ning calmed down.
“Anyway, be careful. If you hadn’t been scolded so badly, I wouldn’t have come to say these words.”
After the female director left, s.h.i.+ Jin said to Xu Ning, “Behave yourself. It won’t sound good if word gets out.”
“Tsk, you know that I’ve worked with Sha Haimu before, right? Back then, we were just filming a music video. How long has it been? I didn’t think that such a small cooperation would cause any problems. In the end, when we were filming, he liked to touch me, flick my ear, and touch my nose. I couldn’t say anything in front of the camera. When the music video came out, his fans actually scolded me for sticking to him! I was so angry that my fans quarreled with his fans.”
“No wonder you acted like you didn’t know him today,” s.h.i.+ Jin said.
!!
“That’s right. Initially, what did it matter if the fans fought? As long as it wasn’t an artist who deliberately led the fans to fight, didn’t we usually pretend that nothing had happened? That’s what I thought too. I thought that although he’s a bit bad with boundaries, he didn’t do anything wrong. It was the fans that were too insensible. So I contacted him to calm things down? Guess what happened in the end?”
s.h.i.+ Jin shook her head.
Xu Ning said, “He said that he can’t control the fans. Everything will be fine after the matter blows over.”
“I thought about it and agreed. Anyway, my fans have the upper hand, but who knew, after his fans didn’t win the fight, his mother personally came out. She tagged me on social media and said that colleagues have to be united and love each other. Don’t expand the conflict just because of a small interest dispute. She made it sound like everything is my fault. When his fans got hold of something, they immediately used this to attack me. They said that I was doing this for fame and deliberately provoked things from both sides to fight!” Xu Ning said indignantly.
s.h.i.+ Jin could understand her feelings. Normally, celebrities did not care much about fans fighting, unless it was too serious.
Sha Haimu’s mother had actually personally gone out to guide the fans and even blamed everything on Xu Ning. It was indeed heart-wrenching.
“He’s finally famous this time. Actually, I also watched coldly from the sidelines. Lin Luo, who was filming ‘Sea Flower’ with him, relied on his outstanding acting skills to lead the entire show. In the early stages, Sha Haimu’s popularity was completely suppressed by Lin Luo. It was only later when he claimed the t.i.tle of wife that he started to improve.”
“I’ve heard a little about it too,” s.h.i.+ Jin said. “I don’t know much. I only know that Lin Luo’s current resources are also outstanding.”
“That’s because Lin Luo is good-looking, his acting skills are not bad, and he’s dedicated to his work. He can afford to do it himself. In the early stages, Sha Haimu bought many professional fans to appear and slander Lin Luo, scolding him for his bad acting skills. He looked down on Lin Luo for being an 18th tier celebrity. After Lin Luo began to do well, they started to say that he had someone backing him to give him resources. Sha Haimu, this idiot, is literally directing a whole made up show.”
s.h.i.+ Jin did not know about these things and was amazed when she heard it. She had been in the entertainment industry for so long, but she had never heard of buying professional fans. The main reason was that she had attracted her own fans step by step. She rarely managed her fans, so there was actually something she did not know.
“You don’t know how Lin Luo killed his way out. The fans who stay behind to accompany him are all real people. As for Sha Haimu, his fans have all accepted him as the delicate wife, so everything he does is right. Coupled with the guidance of many professional fans, his little fans follow behind him.”
“Then is it he more popular or is Lin Luo more popular?”
“Of course it’s Lin Luo. When the drama was released, Lin Luo treated it as a normal television drama. The past is the past. After the show was over, it was all normal filming and work. Up to now, Lin Luo has already filmed two new dramas and two more are waiting to be aired. Sha Haimu is still entangled with the CP fans. If he didn’t join this crew, I don’t know what he’d do every day.”
s.h.i.+ Jin turned on her phone and looked at Lin Luo’s photos and videos again.
Compared to Sha Haimu, Lin Luo’s bone structure and skin were extremely good. He was beautiful in ancient clothes and handsome in modern outfits. He was much better-looking and his acting skills were very good.
“Since Lin Luo has already strode forward, what are the CP fans doing?” s.h.i.+ Jin did not understand.
“Of course it’s because Sha Haimu pretends to be gay on his own. He often wears the same clothes as Lin Luo and poses the same way, saying things like “life is so painful when you can’t have the one you love”. CP fans can obtain the satisfaction of their s.h.i.+p from Sha Haimu. As long as he shows a little weakness and pain, everyone’s hearts will immediately ache. They’ll scold Lin Luo for not taking good care of their delicate wife and making him suffer.”
s.h.i.+ Jin looked pained when she heard that. She had always felt that her fans were quite normal and cute. Everyone had their own lives. In their free time, they would chase after celebrities and relax. She had never seen such a messy fan club.
“Anyway, you can treat Lin Luo as a tool for their s.h.i.+p. The CP fans only has their delicate wife in their eyes, he will never be wrong. Therefore, when he came, I didn’t dare to talk to him or do anything. I was afraid that I would offend his CP fans for some reason, but look, I couldn’t hide from him.”
“These fans are really hopeless.” s.h.i.+ Jin sighed.
“They’re not the only ones who can’t be saved. There’s also Sha Haimu himself. These professional fans he bought are used to boost his popularity by going around picking fights and scamming people. Think about it, s.h.i.+ Jin. You’re a super A-list actress now. Every move you make is noticed by all parties and you have a lot of fans. As for him, his reputation is extremely bad. However, every time someone mentions your name, they mention your name with his. Doesn’t that give pa.s.sersby the impression that he’s as famous as you?”
s.h.i.+ Jin could understand this. Wasn’t this how others had tried to trample on her previously?
However, she had not expected a male artiste to use this move to trample on a female artiste. It was shocking.
Xu Ning sighed and said, “He’s ugly and low-cla.s.s. He relies on that fictional character’s character filter to support him. Most of his acting skills come from the voice actor in post production. After wearing the filter, he is indeed shocking in the eyes of many people, but without that filter, many people who don’t watch dramas will only think that he’s ugly. He doesn’t have the ability to attract fans independently at all. He has to rely on petty schemes to raise his reputation, torture his fans, and solidify his reputation.”
“In that case, we have to be more careful tomorrow. Xu Ning, you can’t bring this emotion to work. If you bring this emotion to your fans, they might be even more anxious,” s.h.i.+ Jin said softly.
“You’re right, s.h.i.+ Jin. Fans come to us to seek happiness and positivity, not to be tortured here.”
