Chapter 950 - I’m Just a Righteous Passerby

The account continued, “The original second female lead of ‘Moon Shines Over The River’ was Guo Sai Sai. She was initially part of the crew and even participated in the opening ceremony. I’ll post the photo taken during the ceremony in a while. We were about to shoot a few scenes, but we were suddenly told by the film crew that there was no need to shoot anymore. Before Guo Sai Sai left the group, Yuan Keqing rushed into joining the crew and reshot a few scenes that Guo Sai had already shot before.”

The blogger grasped the key ingredients for gossip.

She didn’t reveal all the juicy information all at once.

But told them in separate batches.

Like how she didn’t release the photo taken from the opening ceremony straightaway.

Instead, she released it in a new Weibo post subsequently.

Although “Moon Shines Over The River” was a web drama, it was broadcasted at the same time as “Broken Continent.”.

Although the popularity was naturally crushed by “Broken Continent,” the audience didn’t only just watch one drama.

Moreover, “Broken Continent” only aired one episode a day, and it was only broadcasted three days a week.

So of course, the audience had to find other programs and TV series to watch in the meantime.

Therefore, “Moon Shines Over The River” was watched by many to pass the time.

As a mindless sweet drama, although many people ridiculed it, many people still watched it.

The viewership was normal, but because there were many trending topics, many people knew about the drama.

They often saw clips of the drama online.

The drama also had its own fans.

Even though Yuan Keqing was only a newcomer and was not very popular, she still had a handful of fans.

The drama’s fans and Yuan Keqing’s fans all came to the Weibo post to leave their comments.

There was no lack of sarcasm.

“Even if the roles were really changed, are you sure it wasn’t because the original second female lead’s acting skills weren’t good enough that she got kicked out?”

“She said she would release the opening ceremony phone, so hurry up and release it! She’s delaying time. She can’t even post a photo quickly enough. It makes me doubt the authenticity of her words.”

“Can you release the information quickly? It’s like you’re constipated. Isn’t that annoying?”

“It’s no one fault if the second female lead’s acting just isn’t good enough and hence got replaced.”

However, there were also other users who left comments.

They were passersby who weren’t true fans and could comment on anything they saw.

“To those who said the original second female lead’s acting isn’t good enough, have you seen Yuan Keqing’s acting? It’s hilarious.”

“Exactly. If it’s really because of her acting skills, then the replacement should at least have experience and have acted before, right? Why would anyone replace her with Yuan Keqing, who just graduated from film school, has never worked before and has no actual acting experience?”

“You’re telling me that an amateur’s acting skills are better than the original second female lead? You must be kidding me,” A netizen commented, “A newbie. Before this, she hasn’t produced a single work, and there wasn’t any co-star who could prove her acting. How could her acting be better than Guo Sai Sai’s? Is this a joke?”

“So, only a brainless person would believe that Guo Sai Sai was replaced because her acting isn’t good.”

“To Yuan Keqing’s fans, stop trying to fool anyone. Yuan Keqing stole someone else’s show.”

“Hahahaha, Yuan Keqing’s fans are funny. How could the director judge Yuan Keqing’s acting to be better than Guo Sai Sai’s when she has never acted before?”

“Those speaking for Guo Sai are fans of Guo Sai Sai’s, right? Can’t it be that the director has seen Yuan Keqing’s audition and thinks that she’s not bad?”

“That’s hilarious. Didn’t the director see Guo Sai Sai’s audition from the start? If her acting skills aren’t good, how can she pass?” Some netizens retorted.

These words were actually impossible to refute.

“I’m sorry, I’m not a fan of Guo Sai Sai. I’m just a righteous passerby.”

“I’ve seen Guo Sai Sai’s drama. They are all female supporting roles, but her acting is quite good. Saying that her acting isn’t good doesn’t make sense.”

“So, I believe what the blogger said more. Yuan Keqing snatched Guo Sai Sai’s role. Maybe she had a sponsor.”

“Didn’t the blogger say that she would produce the photo? Why hasn’t it been posted yet? If you don’t post the picture, how can anyone believe your words?”

The blogger responded. “The trailer of the photo will be released at 7 pm.”

“It’s just a lousy photo, and you still want to post a trailer? What’s wrong with you?”

“The blogger is an experienced informant, right? She even knows how to gain attention by teasing her readers.”

There were even people who made deeper analysis.

“This account is very skilled and indeed knows how to reveal gossip in the entertainment industry.”

“Actually, the information isn’t that shocking or explosive. It’s common for celebrities in the entertainment industry to have sponsors to support them and help them get favourable roles. But it’s still quite fun to see it out in the open and for celebrities to be torn apart.”

“Moreover, the blogger doesn’t release all the gossip at once. Instead, she releases it in batches like squeezing toothpaste. She constantly attracts netizens to follow his account and material. If they keep paying attention to the gossip, she gains popularity. She might even be able to make it to the hot search.”

“This way, she gains popularity like a snowball. The more it rolls, the more people will pay attention to it. The gossip that was originally two random people can become a hot topic.”

The netizens who believed in it were waiting for the blogger to send the photo.

Those who didn’t believe in it were waiting for the time to come. They were ready to attack the blogger if she didn’t post the photo.

7 pm struck.

The blogger posted the opening ceremony photo on time, with the caption, “The promised photo.”

There was a banner on the photo, and the title of the drama was clearly written on it: “Moon Shines Over The River.”

The male and female leads were standing in the middle.

The second male and second female leads were standing beside them.

Other than Guo Sai Sai, no one else had changed.

Only Guo Sai Sai was no longer in the drama. Instead, Yuan Keqing had taken her place.

After another half an hour, the blogger spoke again.

“Yuan Keqing has a sponsor. She has snatched away the role of another actress. Look, even though the show has just aired, the additional and unnecessary scenes in the drama are painfully obvious. From the tenth episode onwards, the female lead has basically vanished. The drama focuses on either the male lead and the second female lead, or the second male and female leads.”

“The male lead, the female lead, and the second male lead, the three of them combined, have fewer scenes than Yuan Keqing alone. Don’t be in a hurry to question me. Anyway, the fourth episode will be aired tonight. This drama airs two episodes a day from Friday to Monday. The members will be the first to watch the six episodes, which means that they will be able to watch the ninth and tenth episodes tomorrow. No matter what, when the twelfth episode is aired on Monday, we should be able to see if Yuan Keqing has added any scenes.”

“Lastly, if I’m spreading rumours, welcome to sue me.”

Right after the blogger published this post, many marketing accounts started to make accusations.

Among these marketing accounts, a small portion of them received money from Tan Mo.
