Chapter 58 - 58 57 She Gained More Followers Again

Chapter 58: Chapter 57: She Gained More Followers Again Chapter 58: Chapter 57: She Gained More Followers Again ‘Oh, right, if Wenyan paying for good luck is a sham, then Shen Jinghe and the director of “Lost Voice” must be shills she paid for too.

Wow, Miss Wenyan is really something, isn’t she? She actually managed to affect big star Shen Jinghe and an up-and-coming director with her power alone.

Does her family own a diamond mine or something, the kind that spans the whole galaxy? With that kind of clout, why would she settle for a minor role in a newbie director’s movie? Why wouldn’t she just spend the money to invest and be the lead actress herself?’

‘Hahaha, the person above gets irony, I’m dying of laughter.’

‘+10086, galaxy-spanning diamond mines, I’m really dead.’

‘No more talk, I’m off to the director’s to see for myself.’

The reason Zhou Junye posted the screenshot of their three-person group discussing the withdrawal from the trending searches was actually at Shen Jinghe’s instigation.

Once he posted that status, netizens shifted their battlefront.

‘One point Shen Jinghe’s wife fans got right is that it was indeed Wenyan who took down the hot search. This is concrete evidence!’

‘I have to say, the perspective just widened. Look at what they said, they knew very well in their hearts the Chai Zhaodi incident wasn’t entertainment material and shouldn’t be discussed this way.

Let me translate that for you—Miss here is actually quite clear-headed. She knows these topics could bring her attention, but she’d rather spend money to remove them than capitalize on this hype.

There are others, though, always talking about leeching off trending topics, fixating on this. Turns out their hubby also raised his hand in favor of taking down the hot search.

When Wenyan took it down, she’s just showing guilt and deserved to be mocked, but now their husbands also requested the hot search removal, shouldn’t they be mocked as well?’

‘Ahhh, to be honest, Wenyan really is a gem of a girl.’

‘Ahhh, our Jinghe is a treasure too. The trending search actually didn’t impact him negatively at all, yet he took it upon himself to remove it.’

‘I think both actors, including the director, are very principled, it’s just some netizens who are too extreme.

Now that the director has posted the screenshot, it’s time for everyone to disperse.

This screenshot includes all three of them, I believe the director posting this status must have been agreed upon by the others, it is the result of their collective decision.’

‘Exactly, the principals have stepped out, the onlookers should disperse now.’

‘We won’t disperse! Separately we are stars, together we make a fire!’

‘Right, this time we need to cheer for justice’

‘Reconsideration! I think we should trend a positive topic, to boost the attention. Let them see, we actually support their actions.’

‘Isn’t that a bit wrong? They spent money to take down the trending searches because they didn’t want more discussion, why stir it up again?’

‘It’s different now, the previous trend had the wrong direction, but now the trend is positive. Folks, let’s trend it up!’

WeChat group of three

‘Look at this trending topic, the winds of the internet are truly unpredictable. The direction has changed in just a moment.’

Wenyan: ‘UnexpectedGIF’

Zhou Junye: ‘I checked, and we’re all gaining followers. Especially me and Wenyan’s accounts, growing very fast because our original base was small.

Jinghe’s got new followers too, just growing more slowly since his original base was already large.

@Wenyan, what’s going on with us? Is this what they call a blessing in disguise?’

Wenyan: ‘It’s hard to say. In just a little over a month, I’ve become a long-term resident on the trending searches.

Someone without even a single work to their name, yet already with hundreds of thousands of fans—I wouldn’t have believed it if you told me before.

But…’

Zhou Junye: ‘What’s wrong?’

Wenyan: ‘This level of attention and the number of fans make me feel somewhat unreal. Dear director, could you do me one more favor?’

Zhou Junye: ‘You say’

Wenyan: ‘Since we’ve already played the game once, could you help me contact them and have those trending searches that just spiked withdrawn as well?’

Zhou Junye: ‘You don’t want these either? But you’re gaining fans right now, and it’s all positive.’

Wenyan: ‘Yeah! I don’t want them. Can you do this for me?’

Zhou Junye didn’t reply immediately.

Wenyan also noticed something odd: ‘Why isn’t Teacher Shen saying anything?’

Zhou Junye: ‘Because he’s right next to me’

At that moment, the two were discussing the matter of withdrawing the trending searches.

Zhou Junye asked Shen Jinghe, “What should I say? Should I agree to her request or not?”

“Of course you should agree to her. What reason is there not to?”

“All right, then when should I tell her that all this credit is actually yours?”

Shen. Tsundere. Jinghe: “Take back the word ‘credit.’ I’m not doing this for recognition; I’m doing it just to state the facts.”

Zhou Junye: “…Alright then, you’re good-looking so I’ll listen to you.”

So, just as netizens were doing their thing with the data and enjoying the gossip, they suddenly found that the trending topics they were pushing had vanished yet again.

And the next second, they came across Wenyan’s latest update.

‘Thank you for your attention, but let’s wait for the works!! ღ(´･ᴗ･`)fingers crossed’

The implied meaning of the status was clear: matters unrelated to her works should no longer concern everyone; she just wanted to focus on her career.

But just as everyone was about to comment, they found that Wenyan had actually disabled the comment section.

Essentially, this meant that on her territory, all the netizens had been rendered speechless.

However, fan groups had been established.

The fans began to speak out in the groups.

‘Who gets it, ah? My favorite lady has withdrawn her own trending searches again, just outright rejecting the chance at this splashy fortune.’

‘So funny, she probably thinks that by removing the trending searches her popularity will die down, but she didn’t expect that fans are promoting her everywhere. I think the current rate of gaining fans is even more fierce than before’

‘Exactly, the public’s eye is clear. Isn’t this in itself a testimony to her character?’

‘Well said! Applause’

‘It’s really quite rare. I feel if she’s focused on her career, she will surely make a name for herself in the future.’

‘She’s already got the looks and the acting skills. Just based on her character and popularity, it would be outrageous if she didn’t become a hit’

‘Yes, and in fact, “Lost Voice” has become a hit before its release. Initially, it might have taken a long time to premiere, but now the process could be sped up, given that it’s already hugely popular and there are no worries about box office sales.’

‘But she’s not planning to keep the comments section closed forever, is she? Then what’s the fun for us fans? We can’t even rush her for updates or interact, isn’t that detrimental to her future development?’
