The time spent on styling was long and boring, so Yun Shishi used her phone while waiting for her perm to be done.
When she logged in to Weibo, to her surprise, she had tens of thousands of new followers and countless comments on her page.
The artist was baffled.
What’s with this situation?
Upon seeing her quizzical look, Qin Zhou kindly reminded her, “The show was aired yesterday.”
It turned out that the first episode of ‘The Love Diary’ was aired on Chengguang Channel the day she boarded the plane.
The overwhelming sensation from its prior publicity attracted many of Gu Xingze’s hardcore fans.
‘The lucky couple’ became one of the most searched topics on that social-media platform.
Many fans of the original novel, ‘The Green Apple’, showed their support for the pair as well.
Because of the viewers’ expectations, the broadcast received the highest ratings for variety shows aired during the golden primetime.
There was no doubt about the superstar’s influence and appeal.
His popularity continued to stand the test of time.
Once the program was broadcast, the online discussion about it began to heat up.
For reality shows like ‘The Love Diary’, post-production was a very crucial step in addition to the character settings. The lucky couple’s on-screen personas, as a campus belle and a warm and considerate guy, were well-loved by the viewers. With the term ‘first date’ headlining the show, many people swooned at the superstar’s performance.
This was the first time that the superstar had participated in a reality show involving romance.
Naturally, he drew a lot of attention from his fans.
Through the show, the viewers saw their male god’s romantic and passionate side as a boyfriend and went fanatical about it.
Unsurprisingly, half of the comments left on Yun Shishi’s Weibo came from his die-hard fans, who attacked and insulted her relentlessly.
They left all sorts of nasty comments and remarks.
Many even openly humiliated her on their personal accounts and accused her of making use of the superstar’s popularity, resulting in her hurting his fans.
She paid little attention to them.
Her manager specifically reminded her not to read the comments online in the meantime, lest she get hurt by doing so.
As such, she seldom went to Weibo.
The man had his reasons for ordering such.
In fact, those anti-fans were all recruited by him.
It was one of his means.
In order to garner public sympathy for his artist, tens of thousands fake anti-fans were hired immediately after the broadcast to shoot their mouths off on her Weibo page, clamoring for her to leave the industry.
If he did not strike first, the exact same thing would happen, too, with Gu Xingze’s fans. Plus, it would be tough for his team to control the situation then.
Thus, he took the lead and made use of fake anti-fans to insult her viciously.
All sorts of unseemly and malicious words were used to attack her.
It was so bad that many netizens could not watch this go on anymore.
Hence, some kind-hearted netizens started to stand up for the female artist.
[Are some of Gu Xingze’s fans sick in the head?! What right do they have to ask Yun Shishi to leave the entertainment industry? What right do you people have?!]
[The actress is really pitiful. Just because she participated in a reality show with the superstar according to the production team’s arrangement, she got criticized so harshly. She’s such a poor thing!]
[Please stop all the cyberbullying and personal attacks on her, okay?! Fans, just stop it!]
