Wasn’t this too much of a coincidence?
Fang Mo’er nodded at Huang Yi in a friendly manner, but she was met with Huang Yi’s indifference.
In the end, it was decided that the second female lead would be played by Huang Yi.
“Congratulations!” As was customary, when Huang Yi came over to shake hands, Fang Mo’er also extended her hand.
After Huang Yi shook hands with the director, he walked unwillingly to Fang Mo’er’s side.
The moment Fang Mo’er touched Huang Yi’s hand, Huang Yi had quickly released it.
She quickly retreated as if she was trying to escape from a plague and ran away.
Fang Mo’er, “…”
She wanted to say that she had not offended Huang Yi in any way. Why was Huang Yi treating her as if she was her enemy?
When the waters reverse, they dispersed.
After a series of auditions, Fang Mo’er realized that both the male and female supporting roles were held by true acting talents.
The overall standard of this drama would be guaranteed.
Fang Mo’er was only a little uncertain about Shi Mo, who had never acted before,
Soon, the cast list of “The High Monk” was released on the Internet.
Initially, not many people had paid attention to this production on Weibo, except for some manga fans who came often to check on the latest developments.
However, after today’s cast list had been released, it quickly sparked a lively discussion.
The discussion had started among the manga fans first.
The High Monk Looked At Me fan: “Why is the male lead a newbie?”
The High Monk Touched Me fan: “Is it Fang Mo’er and Shi Mo? I did some research and found out that the two of them have appeared on variety shows together before. They’re very good-looking, but their acting skills are unknown!”
The High Monk Is Mine Fan: “They look as if they came straight out of the manga. Putting aside their acting skills, these two people are completely cheating. How can they look so similar to the characters in the manga? I even suspect that Xiao Fang created the manga based on the two of them!”
The original fans of the manga only cared about the actors who would be playing these characters.
They were very satisfied with the looks of the male and female protagonists. Some people even guessed that Xiao Fang was Fang Mo’er herself. Why else did the female lead in the manga drawing look so similar to Fang Mo’er?
This suspicion received the approval of many manga fans, so they looked forward to seeing Fang Mo’er as the female lead even more. As for Shi Mo, even though he was a newbie, they did feel that his looks were compatible with the image of the male lead. For the moment, the manga fans felt extremely satisfied.
However, eventually, the other netizens also noticed this list of actors.
This was especially so after Lang Qi and Gong Hao had retweeted the list of actors.
Lang Qi: “Support Fang Mo’er’s latest work, everyone must cheer for her!”
Gong Hao: “Support!”
The fans were all very excited. Could it be that their idol had a new work?
In the end, they looked at the list.
The male and female leads were such newbies…
However, their idols were only acting as the third and fourth male leads?
Were they just going to be sidekicks to the newbies?
Was Fang Mo’er even worthy?
To have their idols take on supporting roles for her!
This was simply detestable.
All the fans lost their minds. Even though their idols had said that they were going to act as guests to support the artistes from the same company, they still felt that Fang Mo’er was not worthy.
And so it was.
“Sister Fang, you’re gaining so many fans now. You gained 50,000 fans today!”
When Xiao Tian opened her Weibo, she was astounded by Fang Mo’er’s shocking number of fans.
Fang Mo’er quickly looked over and saw that it was true.
Could it be that the production was promoting her?
“Quick, let me see. Are they complimenting me on how well I match with the character in the manga? I’m looking forward to it.”
The last time she had gained new fans was when she had announced that she was going to be the female lead. She had gained a lot of fans from the manga fans.
Fang Mo’er took the phone and clicked on a few new messages. Her face darkened and she stuffed the phone back into Xiaotian’s hands.
“I’m tired, I’d better not look at these things.”
The fans actually said that she was not worthy of being the female lead.
So, the new fans all hated her.
She had just been happy for nothing.
Xiao Tian was speechless when she saw the comments.
It turned out that everyone felt that Fang Mo’er was not qualified to play the female lead. It seemed very obvious that the production had been forced to cast her.
It was completely the power of money.
There was no way to refute this statement. Even the capitalist Shi Mo had personally taken the male lead role, even allowing the movie star and popular artiste to be in supporting roles!
It was the power of money.
Xiao Tian still wanted to console Fang Mo’er, “Sister Fang, your acting skills are much better than Bai Rong’s. Didn’t Bai Rong also rely on money to get the female lead role?”
Fang Mo’er pouted.
It seemed that she could not wash away the matter of relying on money.
She dejectedly picked up her phone, wanting to see if Bai Rong had been badly criticized.
However, when she opened it, she saw in Bai Rong’s Weibo account that there had been a lot of videos of her practicing martial arts diligently recently.
She said that she needed to improve a little bit every day.
There were even pictures of her paintings.
There were also videos of her playing the piano and practicing her vocal music.
All kinds of positive marketing texts occupied the entire screen..
