The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 751: She likes me, loves but cannot have.
Chapter 751: She likes me, loves but cannot have.
Most of the audience watching the program were neutral, and they were quite smart.
The fans of the two concerned parties only accounted for a small fraction, meaning that the majority could view the current situation very objectively while enjoying the drama unfold.
"This... Seems like a lot of information?"
"My imagination is running wild, beyond what Newton’s coffin could suppress—"
"emmmmm, has the relationship between Wood Goddess and Roger, the male god, reached a point where they can whisper to each other?"
"Objectively speaking, the habit of talking behind someone’s back isn’t good."
"Roger has clear love and hatred, if it weren’t for someone deliberately guiding him, he probably wouldn’t have such a bias against Tang Shu."
"Indeed, Tang Shu is good-looking and seems to have a cool temperament; she doesn’t look like the troublemaking type and can easily attract positive attention from boys."
From the time the program aired until now, everyone had felt the tension between the two, initially thinking it was because Tang Shu was too outstanding.
Now, it was an epiphany!
"Putting aside whether Mu Ziwei and Tang Shu had any past grievances, Roger’s current actions aren’t really acceptable."
"Turns out international guests are indeed very emotional, I believe it now!"
In just a few sentences, the conversation covered a lot of information and any normal person would have understood by now.
However, for Mu Ziwei’s fans, this dialogue took on a completely different flavor when it reached their ears, and instantly, a wave of defenders appeared in the comments.
"What do you know? My Goddess Weiwei must have been terribly bullied by that Tang Shu!"
"Exactly, Weiwei usually suffers in silence. If Tang Shu dared to do it, shouldn’t others be allowed to grumble a bit?"
"I knew it, why our Weiwei disliked Tang Shu so much before. Turns out they’ve had a feud all along!"
"How much grievance must the Goddess have suffered? It must be Tang Shu going too far."
...
The audience finding the comment content couldn’t help but make strange faces.
Going too far?
Who is Mu Ziwei, if not a first-rate female star from Vast Entertainment on the mainland and the darling of the agency? Ever since "Hurricane Goddess," her career has been on the rise.
This person, would she be bullied by a newcomer like Tang Shu to the extent where she could only vent her frustrations to friends?
That’s laughable.
The audience shook their heads, expressing complete disbelief.
How deep is the entertainment industry’s water? No matter how much people tear each other apart behind the scenes, they still present a harmonious front on the surface; everyone understands this.
"Please, Mu Ziwei’s fans need to wake up, it’s pretty obvious that your idol is the one who was wrong here."
"Complaining to friends isn’t a problem, but it seems like Mu Ziwei underestimated Roger’s protective nature over her, and now it’s awkward."
"I’m dying of laughter, Mu Ziwei probably never expected Roger to expose her in front of the Program Team, right?"
"Tsk tsk, such a spectacle, this is a massive scene of conflict. I wonder if Wood Goddess is watching the program in front of her TV?"
"As someone who’s just here for the drama, I feel so embarrassed I could dig out a three-bedroom, two-hall apartment, alright?"
And the concerned party?
In a villa in the capital, Mu Ziwei’s nails dug fiercely into the palm of her hand, her eyes filled with shock and helplessness.
The frankness of Roger on the program was something she had never anticipated.
When filming abroad previously, she indeed mentioned that someone had been bullying her; after all, suppressing each other is normal in the entertainment industry. And when she found out that Tang Shu and Roger were participating in the shooting of "Journey Together," she hinted again to the latter, with the intent of making Tang Shu’s experience on the program difficult.
But!
Roger actually "sold her out"? One could imagine how extreme the news about her would be tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Mu Ziwei hurriedly took out her phone to contact her newly appointed agent in hopes of managing the crisis as quickly as possible.
***
In front of the TV, it was difficult for any neutral-minded viewers to have any good thoughts about Mu Ziwei.
No other reason but the fact that she had made a fool of herself internationally, and that was something absolutely intolerable!
Compared to the fragrant praises of Mu Ziwei’s fans, Tang Shu’s fan army was instead filled with joy, each of them laughing their heads off at home.
"Holy moly! So that’s what’s really going on, found the source!"
"I’m done for, I can vaguely feel a chilling wind..."
"Here she comes, here she comes! The corners of her mouth are twitching, she’s up to something!"
"The director’s expression seems unchanged, but his eyes have moved!!!"
"Why do I feel like I have to sweat bullets for Roger and Mu Ziwei?"
"Looks like the male god’s upcoming days won’t be so easy, hhhhhh~~~"
"Come on, male god! Fight for your friend’s honor, knock down the old man, clash till the end!"
"At this point, I, who was originally lying on the sofa, instantly sat up! Awoo awoo awoo—feels like someone’s going to be unlucky."
Director Lin Chuan cut a great segment, and when the conflict erupted, he arranged for a three-minute advertisement break, causing the online buzz to skyrocket, even prompting some to start forum threads.
The ratings also soared, with both TV stations breaking 5 and charging towards 6.
Palm Pavilion, within the villa.
Xu Qianyun was crunching on sunflower seeds fiercely, glaring at the commercials on the TV screen as if looking at his nemesis, eyes filled with venom.
"Sis, Mu Ziwei even went to tattle to Roger? She didn’t bully you before, did she?"
Dare to bully his sister and then play victim? She must be tired of living!
Before Tang Shu had a chance to answer, Qu Junfeng, sitting on the carpet, heard this and twitched the corner of his mouth, silently glancing at the two siblings with a very peculiar look in his eyes.
Mu Ziwei bully Sister Tang?
Buddy, are your eyes seeing right? Who has the capability to bully this ancestor?
It’s already an achievement that she doesn’t bully others!
Tang Shu tossed a smooth macadamia nut into her mouth, her expression indifferent.
"No."
Xu Qianyun, still worried, hesitated for a moment, "Really?"
"Really."
"That’s good then, sis. If she bullies you, just tell me, and watch me take her down!"
"Hmm, I’ll look for you when the time comes."
With each question and answer between the siblings, the words "I have a powerful backer, I defend my own" were as if emblazoned on their faces.
Qu Junfeng: "...."
He quietly shuffled his little butt to the side.
Untouchable, unprovokable.
***
After the three-minute advertisement, the excitement continued.
To link back to the previous scene, the program even rewound a few seconds, and Roger’s voice came from the TV once again.
"You are both actors, you must have stolen her roles!"
Tang Shu, with an unchanged expression, spoke righteously, "No, she likes me, it’s unrequited."
"!!!!"
Roger looked shocked in an instant!
The viewers in front of the TV were equally shocked!
Then they burst into laughter.
"Pffft hahaha, Mu Ziwei harbors unrequited love for Tang Shu, this is the funniest joke I’ve heard!"
"She likes me, but it’s unrequited, I can’t stop laughing hhhhhh~~~"
"What a plot twist! She came up with that excuse???"
