Chapter 7: Fan War
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In his ten years in the industry, Jiang Anzhi had won several awards. He had become a male celebrity every movie project wanted to cast and had the industry’s highest commercial value. Even though Fu Qi was not worth as much as Jiang Anzhi, she had long joined the ranks of A-list actresses.
The two had status and influence and were also once lovers. In any case, “To Your Heart” had become a project that everyone had been watching intently ever since the leads were announced. Any slightest hint of something happening would result in marketing bots writing ridiculous articles.
Even though the crew had kept things under the wraps pretty well over the past six months, these marketing bots were really great at making things up. They did not have any concrete evidence, so the fans only half-believed them and waged war against these marketing bots for the last six months.
The filming had finally ended, but then, such a video had appeared. This was as good as proving the previous rumors right.
The fans were disappointed, sad, furious, happy…
The An Qi CP fans were delighted and excited, celebrating as if it were the new year.
‘They were originally a couple. They have finally met at the pinnacle again after 10 years apart.’
‘I already said that they were real. They will definitely get back together again. There is no one else that’s best suited for them both.’
‘Ahhhhhhh… AQSZD. The couple I support is real.’
‘I will move the Civil Affairs Bureau to you two. Please get married right now!’
Fu Qi’s fans, however, were against Jiang Anzhi. They made jibes at him.
‘Stay away from the scumbag. Protect Fu Qi.’
“Qi, don’t be cheated. Haven’t you cried enough for him back then? Did he ever turn back and look at you?’
‘I am the only one who truly loves you in this world.’
‘Scram, you stiff-faced movie star!’
Jiang Zhian’s fans could not be bothered with Fu Qi’s fans and started to attack the marketing bots instead.
‘Someone’s fans are just so shameless. Everyone knows deep down inside who the scumbag is.’
‘You stepped on my darling to get to where you are today. Did you enjoy eating his flesh and drinking his blood?!’
‘My husband Anzhi is lying right next to me. He doesn’t know anything.’
‘Boycott malicious videos that were cut to tell ties. What kind of facts do you think you show when the footage is all cut and stitched up. If you can, show us the raw footage.’
‘Yeah, if you have guts, show us the raw footage…’
Other people who were just there to watch the fan wars commented.
‘I seriously suspect that the production crew is making things up to boost their popularity. But this news is rather interesting!’
In any case, it was just a mess.
Compared to the comments on the internet full of rage, Feng Lanchu was much calmer when she read the news in real life.
After reading the news, she finally understood why her mother-in-law had called before she had boarded the plane.
“Well, Mrs. Jiang, you are too calm. You’re the one being cuckolded right now!”
Feng Lanchu shrugged. “This sort of news appears every ten days or so. I am immune to it already.”
“Furthermore, the entertainment industry is a mess. I was already prepared to be cuckolded ever since I knew that Jiang Anzhi was Jiang Anzhi. Since I will be cuckolded sooner or later, there’s nothing to get upset about.
“…” Zhu Mingming was struck speechless. She did not know whether Feng Lanchu was heartless or just an optimist.
Feng Lanchu was not a fan of any celebrity and was not in the entertainment industry. She had completely missed out on those years when Jiang Anzhi had been a popular idol who had scored fans everywhere through his songs and dance.
When he became an actor after playing a role in a movie, she prepared for her college entrance exams and did not watch any entertainment shows at all.
After that, Feng Lanchu had started her research in biology with a focus on wildlife animals. She often went with small teams to mountains and forests to research and basically lived in the times of the 2G network. Then, she had gone on to do her Masters’s degree, started working, and led teams to Africa…
In any case, while Jiang Anzhi had been a rising star in the entertainment industry, Feng Lanchu had been researching in academia. Their paths did not intersect at all, and neither did they have any chance to interact. She had not expected to marry a movie star when she had decided to marry any man.
As such, when Zhu Mingming teased her that her husband’s name was the same as a certain movie star’s, Feng Lanchu had not considered the possibility that they were the same person at all.
To tell the truth, she had been furious when she had found out.
In her life plans, she had never considered having anything to do with the entertainment industry. When she thought of the mess that was the entertainment industry and his tens and thousands of fans, she wondered if Jiang Anzhi’s fans would tear her apart and skin her alive if their marriage were to be exposed.
But their child had been about to be born by the time she had found out the truth. What else could she have done?
