When Xu Rui saw Gao Fan’s Weibo post, she was stunned.
Originally, things had been developing according to her thoughts. She believed that soon, Lu Zhen would not be able to withstand the pressure of public opinion and had to respond positively.
If Lu Zhen apologized to her when the time came, she would undoubtedly be able to take this opportunity to step on Lu Zhen and attract a lot of attention. So what if Lu Zhen was more popular than her in the past? She still had to apologize to her!
Her aunt was also very satisfied with Xu Rui’s performance this time. She told her to do it boldly in the future. After all, someone would support her.
However, Xu Rui had only been happy for two days when the tables turned. The Weibo post posted by Director Gao Fan was still on the trending list the next day. At the same time, Gao Fan’s new television drama, “Rain and Fog,” which was about to start filming, attracted a lot of attention.
Lu Zhen’s character was considered an important female character in “Rain and Fog”. However, because she rarely appeared, she joined the production team as a “specially invited actress”.
On the surface, there were a total of three official female leads in “Rain and Fog”, excluding Manni, who was played by Lu Zhen.
After the netizens heard this news, someone analyzed, “Since Lu Zhen isn’t the female lead of ‘Rain and Fog, Director Gao Fan must have posted on Weibo to support Lu Zhen out of personal feelings. This means that the two of them should have a good relationship in private.”
“I’m a veteran fan of Director Gao Fan. I have a certain understanding of him. Although he’s especially strict with actors in the production team, he’s very protective of the juniors he likes. He must really admire and like Lu Zhen, so he specially posted on Weibo for her.”
Lu Zhen’s fans were surprised and happy. They never expected the big director to like Lu Zhen so much.
Many fans were also puzzled.
Lu Zhen and Gao Fan must have met after confirming their collaboration with
Rain and Fog. Before that, the two of them should not have interacted much. They had only known each other for a short period of time, but their relationship was already so good?
Yes, it must be because their Lu Zhen was so charming that Director Gao Fan deeply approved of her! Overnight, Lu Zhen’s fans were no longer depressed and frustrated by Xu Rui’s disgust. They were all refreshed and could finally speak online.
With Director Gao Fan’s support, many netizens who had always felt that something was wrong finally dared to speak up.
“l didn’t dare to say it before, afraid that others would scold me and say that I’m Lu Zhen’s lackey, but I swear that I really just like to watch Lu Zhen’s dramas and movies. I’m not her fan!”
“Previous poster, say it boldly. Now that Director Gao Fan is backing you, what are you afraid of?!”
“Alright, then let me tell you my analysis. Actually, I think Xu Rui’s performance is a little strange. After the accident on the variety show, she apologized to Lu Zhen on stage. After that, the emcee let this matter go. However, after the live- stream ended, she publicly posted on Weibo to apologize to Lu Zhen. Don’t you think this action is a little exaggerated?” “From what you’ve said, it does seem like a little.”
“Let’s assume that Xu Rui has two mentalities. One is that she really doesn’t want to blow this matter up, so she can apologize to Lu Zhen in private. This way, the matter won’t ferment, and there won’t be so many people scolding Lu
Zhen.’
“The other is that she feels very unbalanced, so she deliberately posted an apology on Weibo. This way, whether Lu Zhen accepts this apology or not, it’s not appropriate. She can be considered to have vented her anger.”
Someone seemed to have realized something. “From the looks of it, Xu Rui probably has the second mentality, right?”
“That’s what I want to say! There’s no need for Xu Rui to post on Weibo at all.
Even if she’s dissatisfied, she can resolve this matter with Lu Zhen in private. However, she insisted on blowing things up to embarrass Lu Zhen. And she pretended to be pitiful and innocent while blowing things up. Isn’t this a big green tea?”
At this point, many netizens felt enlightened.
“Oh my god, Xu Rui’s scheming is comparable to the female lead of a palace drama! To think that I thought she was pitiful. Now, it seems that she was pretending! I remember that the emcee checked and she was not injured at all.
“Yes, yes, yes. And I have to add something! I’ve been watching this variety show for two years. It’s almost impossible for ‘The Big Bang of Science’ to use dangerous reagents. Every time the actors wear such tight protective suits, it’s only to convey the concept of safety first. In fact, everyone knows that those experimental reagents are not dangerous at all.”
This made Xu Rui seem like she was making a mountain out of a molehill..
