Money talks, and things get done faster.
Within a few days, Xia Qingtian instantly transformed from a fan favorite to a public enemy.
Led by prominent influencers and fueled by a wave of online trolls, the artist with no works and only a knack for creating buzz, Xia Qingtian, immediately became the target of widespread criticism.
Onlookers couldn't help but sigh, "To see her rise to fame, and then to see her fall."
While everyone was still marveling at the speed of Xia Qingtian's downfall, the character posters and official announcement for "The Most Cherished Spring of Flower and Moon," released by Gu Corporation Entertainment's Gu Corporation Pictures, caught everyone's attention.
【#花月最惜春# The drama "The Most Cherished Spring of Flower and Moon" is brewing, honoring all beings and you. Like a mirage, meeting a beauty again is like a倾! She is Feng Cheng's lifelong regret, Chi Yan's unfulfilled desire, the moon in the mirror and the flower in the water. "The Most Cherished Spring of Flower and Moon" joins hands with @顾氏娱乐-夏晴天v, to bring you an ode to a lifetime of romance.】 Attached: Nine character posters of Xia Qingtian.
From a naive and innocent little princess, to a snow fairy devoted to love, to a fragile beauty confined to a lakeside pavilion with crippled legs, and finally to a vixen in a striking red dress.
From makeup and styling to her gaze, from her demeanor to her bearing.
Xia Qingtian's character posters perfectly embodied the soul of this character.
She was Feng Cheng's white moonlight, and even more so, Chi Yan's cinnabar mole.
Whether pure or alluring, especially in that final red dress, with her index finger lightly touching her lower lip, a tear tracing a path down her cheek, her eyes seemed to smile.
Cannot be said, must not be said, will not be said.
These character posters caused an immediate sensation.
Xia Qingtian, who was thought to be completely finished, re-entered the public eye in such a dominant fashion, landing the supporting role of the third female lead in the major production "The Most Cherished Spring of Flower and Moon!"
Instantly, there was an uproar both online and offline.
【Damn! Gu Corporation Entertainment has lost its mind! They're casting a complete newcomer in such an important drama!】
【No way, isn't this Xia Qingtian washed up? What is this… what’s going on?】
【Didn't they say our Qingtian has no works? Come on! Take a look! Her first drama is a supporting role in a big production!】
【To promote a supporting role like this, you'd think she was the lead!】
【The person upstairs, if you don't know, don't speak. This drama is a highly anticipated project from Gu Corporation Entertainment, and the weight of a third female lead role here is a hundred times stronger than the lead in a low-budget drama!】
【What's Xia Qingtian's background? Can someone dig into it? I just feel like she has a sugar daddy behind her.】
【If she wasn't backed, how could she suddenly become popular? She's still a student, appearing on variety shows and in big productions, tsk tsk tsk, it's so easy for women to become famous.】
【Can the person upstairs stop being so disgusting? Men just need to be shameless, and they'll get rich quick!】
【Just you wait, those who lack virtue will surely face disaster!】
【Pure passerby, I think this Xia Qingtian really doesn't deserve her status. What's her background to play such an important role?】
【Xia Qingtian, undeserving! Get out of the entertainment industry!】
【Xia Qingtian, undeserving! Get out of the entertainment industry!】
…
Seeing Xia Qingtian's character posters, Yu Xianxian was so angry she almost threw her phone. If her room hadn't been live-streaming, she would have screamed and cursed.
That bitch Xia Qingtian, how dare she!
How dare she compete with me for a role!
That third female lead role was something she had been coveting for a long time!
She had also auditioned before, and although there had been no news since, that didn't mean Xia Qingtian could snatch the role!
Trembling with rage, Yu Xianxian went straight to the bathroom, took out her phone, and contacted her agent who was busy outside.
Her agent had clearly just learned the news and was still in shock.
After a brief discussion, they decided not to let Xia Qingtian be so arrogant and had to teach her a lesson.
No matter what, they had to stir up trouble for her!
Therefore, the agent continued to pay for online propaganda, directly accusing Xia Qingtian of being undeserving and destined for disaster.
At the same time, they disclosed to a few extreme fans within Yu Xianxian's fan group that the role was originally meant for Yu Xianxian, but Xia Qingtian had snatched it through despicable means.
This tactic was quickly spread to the fan groups of several other popular young actresses.
Yu Xianxian herself, while chatting with others, would deliberately say ambiguous things when mentioning Xia Qingtian, further convincing fans that Xia Qingtian had obtained the role through underhanded methods.
Suddenly, a large-scale fan war erupted.
Everyone seized upon Xia Qingtian's lack of merit, relentlessly attacking her.
Although Xia Qingtian had some fans, given her current lack of works and her exposure limited to live streams and variety shows, and considering that most of Xia Qingtian's fanbase were students who used her live streams for study-related white noise, these fans were quickly overwhelmed.
The victory in this battle seemed too easy, as if the online ridicule was no longer enough to satisfy these keyboard warriors. Someone initiated malicious reporting and controlled comments.
These individuals not only reported Xia Qingtian's live stream but also the variety show "Best Partner" and Gu Corporation Entertainment's new drama "The Most Cherished Spring of Flower and Moon."
They eloquently accused Xia Qingtian of lacking virtue and being unable to set a good example for young people, recommending her complete ban from the entertainment industry.
The live stream was shut down that day due to the excessive number of reports.
And "Best Partner," seemingly under public pressure, had Xia Qingtian's scenes almost completely cut from the latest recorded episode.
Gu Corporation Entertainment also faced immense pressure internally, considering the significance of "The Most Cherished Spring of Flower and Moon."
Compared to Xia Qingtian, everyone was more concerned about preserving this meticulously planned project.
In this climate, some even suggested replacing Xia Qingtian.
Finally, Mr. Gu spoke up, and these voices completely vanished.
As everyone left the conference room, Mr. Gu stood alone by the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the cityscape. His gaze was deep as he murmured as if to himself, "Qingtian, don't disappoint me."
That night, after watching the latest episode of "Best Partner," everyone felt that Xia Qingtian was probably finished. Even her only existing work had her scenes so heavily edited.
Indeed, those who lack virtue will surely face disaster!
What was this?
This was retribution!
Suddenly, Xia Qingtian became the complete target of online criticism.
Now, the onlookers who had earlier lamented could finally say again, "To see her rise to fame, and then to see her fall."
While everyone was still contemplating the capriciousness of fate, Xia Qingtian had already begun diligently memorizing her speech.
The next day, a hot search item surged to the top of the trending list, directly occupying the most prominent position.
