Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

Golden Agent of the Adonis (54)

[What kind of fairy clip is this? I love it, I love it! I know our little Xiao Xuanxuan is handsome already, so please don’t attack me like this!]

[No, no, I want a critical attack! Master Chu Xiang, I beg of you, the more tidbits you post, the better!]

[Has Zhenxuan finished filming ‘The Legend of Consort Jing’? Master Chu Xiang, I humbly ask for some behind-the-scenes footage of the drama. It doesn’t even have to be a video because as long as there are pictures, I’m more than satisfied. Master Chu Xiang, have you seen me?]

[He looks too much like an idol drama! Now my mind is full of fantasies that I can meet a male God like Zhenxuan when I walk on campus. Oh no, what should I do? Master Chu Xiang, hurry up and arrange an idol drama for Zhenxuan.]

[I’m rooting for his starring in an idol drama as well, Xuanxuan is really the incarnation of an idol drama’s hero, I’m dead.]

Chu Xiang knew what they would say, so she picked out a comment that asked for an idol drama with a smile and replied: [Don’t worry, if there is a suitable script, we can shoot it. Though, I don’t want to ruin the ideal idol drama in everyone’s minds^_^]

Of course, it was impossible to jump into the trending search by relying on a single advertisement’s shooting clips. Even if the editing was good, it would overlap with the content of the previous ad that was already posted online, so there wasn’t much of a new point that could attract the masses. However, now that there was Chu Xiang’s comment, things were different. How could a newcomer with no works be confident to the point that he can select his script and play a leading role? Was he already reaching for the stars just because he made it to the top of the trending searches once or twice?!

It was common knowledge that hunters would only hunt the birds who dare to peek and fly into their sights. The rewards were only enough for a certain number, so it was inevitable that the many who vied for it would trample over each other to obtain it. Yet, a newcomer who amounted to nothing at all popped out just like that and suppressed others by occupying the top spots of the trending searches time and time again. Based on actions like that, were the others wrong to assume that the newcomer was looking down on the other artists?

Immediately, the red-eye disease(1) began to take effect. Many marketing accounts took screenshots of Chu Xiang’s comment, made theories based on the picture, misinterpreted the original meaning and over-interpreted her words. Soon, the netizens called Chu Xiang a megalomaniac and declared that Fang Zhenxuan was nothing special, even going as far as to berate him for rushing his way into the entertainment industry when he merely just started.

Recently, the general public had a biased preference for Chu Xiang and Fang Zhenxuan, so when they saw that there was material about the duo again, they would click on it subconsciously— especially if the news were malicious.

That’s how the wave of heat came about. The more the people got to know about it, the more they tried to figure out the ins and outs of the comment. Besides, netizens who followed Chu Xiang and fans of Fang Zhenxuan explained the response well. Although their control and evaluation was not yet large and seemed like a mess, it appeared as if they were speaking for Chu Xiang and Fang Zhenxuan spontaneously, so their words were, in a way, easier to accept.

Chu Xiang predicted that this black wave wouldn’t bring too much of a negative impact towards Fang Zhenxuan since he wasn’t exactly a famous artist yet. She would think about this as an occasional gossip and controversy towards an artist.

Most people mentioned that Chu Xiang’s comment was clearly a good prospect; who wouldn’t want to play the leading role of a drama in the entertainment industry? Which agent wouldn’t want their artist to become popular? What were the double standards that allowed others to dream and fantasize about their wishes but instead, became something to criticize and condemn when it came to Chu Xiang’s comment?

Since Chu Xiang and Fang Zhenxuan were the people they fought and protected before, they weren’t going to sit back and relax whilst letting the two of them bear such treatment.

#Chu Xiang replied to Fang Zhenxuan’s fan# This topic quickly became a trending search itself among netizens’ disputes.

More people would see it on the search, which would lead to more people joining in on the discussion.

There were a few people who thought that Chu Xiang’s words were too prideful and it would be better to be modest whilst building up a newbie’s career. Otherwise, it would be easy for others to take advantage of her words and twist it in a negative manner. However, most people liked Chu Xiang’s straightforward attitude. Her words used when she explained her relationship with Chen Lifeng were also direct and clear, which showed that Chu Xiang was very genuine and unwilling to use the type of hypocritical speech that could mislead others intentionally.

Indeed, no other manager would provide an answer to an artist’s fans. Plus, it was still such a reply that exceeded the artist’s current level. Putting prejudice aside, didn’t the tone of her comment seem like she was just having a chat with a family member? Perhaps Chu Xiang regarded Fang Zhenxuan’s fans as her own family!

Chu Xiang’s words were interpreted by various parties and all parties spoke up with their own opinions. The few people who wanted to trample on Fang Zhenxuan saw that he was on the trending search again and their hearts were filled with regret. How were they to expect that those netizens would still be willing to speak up for Chu Xiang and Fang Zhenxuan after so many days have passed since the last drama? Was the incident that day all that impressive?

If it weren’t for Chu Xiang who wanted to utilize a more natural way of winning the fight, would she really have gone through all that trouble just to solve the previous issue? Look, after all, weren’t the netizens protecting them on their own accord without any initiation?
