Chapter 140: The 140th day of being popular

Even Yao Xinxin herself had completely failed to anticipate that the situation would turn out like this.

She originally thought that after making a splendid appearance with an excellent lineup, public opinion would improve. But to her surprise, not only did no one anticipate her new drama, but it also attracted even more mockery from netizens.

Her fans tried to control the comments under her Weibo posts, but obviously, they were outnumbered and overwhelmed by the majority of netizens.

[Oh, still trying to control comments? Learn from Yao Bianliang next door, never control comments, and avoid embarrassing self-praise.]

[Yao Xinxin, quickly go back to being a pampered rich lady in your noble family. The entertainment industry is not where you belong.]

[I just want to know, besides the Yao family, who else is the person behind Yao Xinxin? Is she the darling of the entertainment industry?]

Yao Xinxin felt anxious as she read these comments.

Even if she was slow to understand, she now realized some of the issues.

After the semi-finals, she became a live target. No matter how she maneuvered or found people to set the rhythm, the situation would only worsen.Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

"How did it come to this! Have these netizens all gone mad?" Yao Xinxin frowned and closed the comments section on Weibo with an unpleasant expression.

Over the past few days, she had rarely read netizen comments and private messages. She was in a semi-withdrawn state. Now, she mustered up the courage to go online and took a glance, only to see these comments of resistance.

Lu Yanchen sat next to her, looking at those comments with a slightly furrowed brow. "Xinxin, don't be too angry. It's not worth it for these people. After you finish filming this drama, your reputation should improve."

Compared to Yao Xinxin, Lu Yanchen's Weibo comments appeared calm and peaceful.

His team lineup this time was also quite impressive, and most of his fans expressed anticipation for his new drama. Due to the luxurious cast, many people speculated that Lu Yanchen's background was extraordinary.

However, in his comments section, there were also many people criticizing Yao Xinxin.

Comments like "Brother, can you not get too close to that Yao Xinxin?" or "Yao Xinxin is shameless, with such a bad reputation, she still seduces my brother Chen" were not uncommon.

Lu Yanchen coldly noted down every account that criticized Yao Xinxin, intending to have their accounts blocked in the near future.

Yao Xinxin forced a smile toward Lu Yanchen and said, "I understand. Thank you, Yanchen... If it weren't for you helping me this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to assemble such a great team."

Yao Xinxin knew deep down that if she wanted to turn the tables now, she could only rely on her work.

An insignificant and powerless little star like her, how could she possibly find resources?

Yao Xinxin, however, remained skeptical. In her opinion, it wouldn't be difficult for Yao Bianliang to find some good teammates based on her popularity and reputation.

With that thought in mind, she clicked on Yao Bianliang's team introduction information.

Director: Zhang Hao; Screenwriter: An Xincheng.

Yao Xinxin felt a bit puzzledhad she been ignorant? Who were these two?

As she scrolled down, looking at the list of actors, apart from Yao Bianliang, everyone else was unfamiliar.

"These...these actors?" Yao Xinxin turned to look at Lu Yanchen.

Lu Yanchen gave her a confirmation, "You didn't read it wrong, they are all extras."

Yao Xinxin found it a bit hard to believe. She turned to double-check and then a strong sense of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Yao Bianliang actually hired a group of extras!

Did she really think that a bunch of extras could accomplish something significant?

Extras are called extras because they lack appearance, ability, background, and luck.

In other TV dramas, a group of extras like this might only have a brief half-second shot in a whole scene, and they might not even show their faces.

When Yao Xinxin acted in the past, she never paid any attention to these background actors.

But now, Yao Bianliang suddenly recruited so many extras, and she even had them play important roles!

She didn't even consider whether they could handle such a burden.

With that in mind, Yao Xinxin finally revealed a relaxed smile.

With just this kind of lineup, what could Yao Bianliang rely on to compete with her?

This time, she finally had the upper hand!
