Chapter 39 (2/2)
[Hardworking people end up being unsuccessful because there are always others who cut in front of them by taking shortcuts.]
…
Most of the fans started to understand the connotation of the post because of the context now. However, the aggressive fans immediately scolded An Wen on her official page on behalf of their idol.
An Wen’s fans were busily taking in her beauty on her official page when they were suddenly insulted out of the blue. If someone were to search for An Wen’s page, they would notice that all kinds of insults were posted there.
When they argued with the others in the comments, the original Weibo posts were bumped up to the popular topics, prompting Jiang Yiwen to write a Weibo post as well.
[#AnWen# Miss An Wen is currently having fun at the end-of-filming banquet. We can’t ruin her mood by letting her see these vulgar posts on this joyous night. Bodyguards, we must share our own Weibo posts to clean up her page!]
The Bodyguards frantically filled An Wen’s page with their own posts before commenting and liking each others’ posts.
However, the other side kept insulting An Wen no matter how hard her fans tried to cover up those posts. The Bodyguards were merely male fans of the novel who only cared about looks. Furthermore, this was their first time following a celebrity, so they had never been attacked like this before. They could only constantly write original posts to cover up An Wen’s page.
There were other fans who mentioned Lu Maner’s name and wrote Weibo posts that said, [An Wen plays the secondary lead while Lu Maner is merely a side character. What’s wrong with the sequence of their names in the credits, then? Does Lu Maner really think that she’s a big shot just because of her seniority? How dare she bully someone else?]
That Weibo post was the last straw for Lu Maner’s fans who were currently hurt and angry. All of them exploded because the post had terribly provoked them.
They called An Wen a “plastic surgery monster”, gold-digger, and a mistress of the financial backers. Worse still, they even insulted her with some phrases that were unimaginably crude and vulgar.
The Bodyguards did not want to fight, but they could not hold themselves back when the other parties openly bullied them for no reason. In the end, both sides started arguing with each other.
Lu Maner’s devoted fans had experienced arguments with many other fans ever since their idol debuted six years ago. The fans posted pictures to defame An Wen, spammed the hashtag #AnWenThePlasticSurgeryMonster#, and started topics to criticize her. They were other loyal fans who wrote short essays that were several hundred words long to praise Lu Maner for her dedication and commendable personality. They also wrote about how An Wen was a shameless person who took shortcuts. After that, they posted nine beautiful photos of Lu Maner when she had just debuted and was filming a youth movie. Lu Maner had a gentle and innocent smile on her face on every one of those pictures.
These short essays eventually reached the trending searches for both parties on Weibo because all the fans kept liking and commenting on them.
Unfortunately, this confused the Bodyguards and threw them into a state of chaos. When the Bodyguards were furious and helpless, another group of people came out to provoke both sides even further by posting two Weibo topics with the hashtags #LuManersThoughts
OnTheLastNightOfFilming# and #AnWenPlasticSurgery#. The contents of those two posts were unanimously implying that Lu Maner thought that An Wen was taking shortcuts without working hard.
Jiang Yiwen immediately posted on Weibo and rallied An Wen’s other fans to defuse the comments section. However, An Wen had fewer fans than Lu Maner. The situation had gone worse now because onlookers were coming over to speak positively on Lu Maner’s behalf as well.
