Chapter 1563: 1564: The Wheel of Fortune Turns

As soon as Chu Xi left, the press conference for “Sunny Summer” ended in such an anticlimactic way. Earlier, the hype was so big that it took over the top ten spots on the trending list, and everyone thought the crew was going to make a big move, but then it quietly ended like this, all thunder and no rain, without even a single compliment in sight.

On Weibo, all the haters who were jumping around questioning Rong Yan seemed to have been slapped in the face, one by one going silent, slinking offline, without a word.

With Chu Xi stirring things up in the beginning, the fan groups and the outsiders started arguing afterward, and the originally paid trending topic turned into a real one.

However, without those particular biased outsiders and haters, the comments below became much cleaner.

[Li Shengxiao is once again standing up to defend his girlfriend. Oh my, as a man, even I find it really sweet.]

[Sigh, the weather was perfectly sunny, and I even had a chicken leg for lunch, feeling all sorts of satisfied. But then I read some gossip that depressed me. Just how idle must my hands be to come and read gossip about a female celebrity who’s prettier, has a better figure, earns more, and is loved by her boyfriend more than me? I really ought to slap myself twice. Stupid hands! After eating that chicken leg, I ended up being stuffed with dog food!]

[True that!]

[The person above truly speaks for my heart! Also, quietly, I think Chu Xi is not as pretty as Rong Yan, and her retweet on Weibo was kind of fake. It’s not necessarily Rong Yan who bought this trending topic, and her suddenly jumping in to tear things up must be super awkward for others involved. Has she not thought that if Rong Yan isn’t the one who bought it, innocent people might be dragged down because of her actions? She’s losing goodwill fast. I initially thought she was making the nation proud, but seeing those sycophants, I’ve quickly grown to dislike her.]

[… I’m just catching up on the news now. What did I miss? Seems like I missed quite a bit. Just by looking at the pictures, Rong Yan completely outshines Chu Xi. When I saw Chu Xi in the news, I thought she looked a bit like Rong Yan. Comparing them now, they seem even more alike. But Rong Yan is obviously much prettier, with more delicate features. Chu Xi is more reliant on her makeup and vibe. I’ve never found her particularly attractive; going by looks alone, there are quite a few actresses in the industry who surpass her.]

Replies varied below, but most were still praising Rong Yan’s looks!

…

“Hurry up, hurry up, get ready, the press conference is about to start. Is the male lead’s styling done?”

“Almost, we’re setting his hair.”

“What about the female lead?”

“Finished.”

Zhu Zhu waved the schedule in her hand, glanced at the time, and urged, “Speed up, the earlier segments are almost done, it’s your turn soon.”

“Okay.”

The makeup and styling team sped up, and the actors playing Lu Hanguang and Jian Yao were highly cooperative, sitting there with their heads tilted, doing whatever the stylists instructed.

“Little Luck” is the first drama they’ve starred in, which holds great significance for them. Initially thinking it was just an online drama, they didn’t dare get their hopes too high. Overheard that only a few reporters showed up for the press conference, making them more disheartened. Who knew the tides would turn, and a small press conference of theirs would bring in nearly half the entertainment industry’s stars to upstage, even Kate Latt attended personally.

Media reporters did show up en masse; heard that the venue was so small many reporters didn’t even have seats, yet they were willing to wait, even if it meant taking photos from a corner standing.
