The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 71
🕑 Added 2024-02-19 04:31:23 +0000 UTCChapter 71
Since Bai Zishu had been consistently busy, the two hadn't rehearsed beforehand. Dealing with such an unreliable lead actor, Su Zijing couldn't help but feel resigned. As the organizer, all she could do now was hope for a natural chemistry between the lead actor and actress.
Of course, the likelihood of that was minimal.
Ling Chunann put on his headphones, while the host kept the atmosphere lively, with texts flashing rapidly across the screen.
Most of the audience tuning in were there to see Bai Zishu and other big names in the industry. Ling Chunann, as the lead actor, hadn't appeared in the public eye before, so he was virtually unknown to everyone. There were hardly any expectations for him.
[Who is Zhan Nuan Huan? Why have I never heard of him?]
[Never heard of him either. I'm here for Yun Juan Yun Shu.]
[I heard Zhan Nuan Huan defeated the legendary Ling Feng Ting Quan God. I'm here to witness the miracle.]
[What? Impossible. How could anyone have a better voice than Ling Feng God? I don't believe it. Anyone got evidence? Don't spread rumors without proof.]
[Today's speaker, Zhan Nuan Huan, is the real deal.]
As the debates intensified on the screen, and more people flooded into the channel, Su Zijing's brow furrowed. Who leaked the news about Ling Feng Ting Quan competing for the lead role? But for now, the priority was to soothe Ling Chunann's emotions. With so many people urging him to step down, Su Zijing was concerned about his state of mind. She glanced at her penguin friend list and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Tianming Weijin online; she wouldn't have to make a call after all.
Green Grassland: Weijin, don't worry. We'll investigate this matter thoroughly, and we'll definitely give you an explanation in the future.
Green Grassland: Weijin, you must keep up the good work in the live broadcast. This drama relies on you.
Looking at the messages in the chat box, Ling Chunann replied with a smiley face.
Tianming Weijin: Okay.
Su Zijing stared at the smiley face for a long time, a faint infatuated look on her face. "Weijin is so gentle."
Host: "Now, let's welcome our lead actress: Yun Juan Yun Shu!"
At this moment, Bai Zishu unmuted himself and cleared his throat. "Hello, everyone. Can you hear me?"
[Ah, Yun Shu's voice is so gentle!]
[Yun Shu, look at me! I'm your loyal fan! I've watched all of your dramas!]
[Yun Shu, I'm your devoted fan!]
As the messages flew by, dazzling everyone's eyes, Bai Zishu's eyes flashed with pride. If this live broadcast went smoothly and coupled with the publicity for this drama, with his current popularity, he might just ascend to the throne of the CV circle's god.
The child had recovered during this time of recuperation, and Bai Zishu planned to invite Tang Lingfeng out after today's live broadcast.
Host: "It seems that our Yun Juan Yun Shu's popularity is soaring."
Yun Juan Yun Shu: "Thank you all for your support. I'm truly overwhelmed."
[Forever supporting Yun Shu! Yun Shu, I love you!]
[Yun Shu is the best!]
Host: "Alright, Yun Shu has already felt your enthusiasm. Now, may I ask, Yun Shu, have you heard of Zhan Nuan Huan before?"
Yun Juan Yun Shu: "No, not until recently when I saw his name on our CV list. But I'm sure he must be excellent, to have been chosen by Green Grassland against all odds for the lead role."
Just as Bai Zishu began his sentence, the host wanted to interrupt him, but Bai Zishu didn't give him a chance. He subtly praised and belittled in one go, causing an explosion of discussion on the public channel.
[Isn't Green Grassland the scriptwriter? So Zhan Nuan Huan's success must be due to backstage deals.]
[I never thought there'd be backstage deals even in the CV circle. Garbage! The one being blackened is Ling Feng God!]
[Reject backstage deals! Zhan Nuan Huan, get out of the CV circle!]
...
The host couldn't help but regret asking that question. His intention was to draw out Zhan Nuan Huan's identity from Bai Zishu and then invite the person forward. He never expected Bai Zishu to deviate so far from the script. Now, the entire circle knew about the discord between the lead actor and actress, and it even involved backstage dealings.
The live broadcast sparked before it even began.
As the public channel erupted with condemnation and debate, Qingqing Caodi suddenly descended like a savior, silencing everyone, and then posted a message.
Qingqing Caodi: Many people in the circle are somewhat familiar with my name. I've been in the circle for many years, and I've never been involved in any backstage deals. On the contrary, you can ask anyone I've worked with if I'm not the strictest in selecting roles. For me, the only thing that matters is a voice that fits the character. If you're discussing who didn't get chosen and speculating about backstage dealings, I can tell you it's not because the ones not chosen weren't good enough. It's just that the ones I chose had voices that better matched my character settings.
Qingqing Caodi: However, one thing I hope to remind everyone here is that our crew never leaks any information about the participants in the audition process.
After typing, Su Zijing lifted the ban on speaking, and for the next dozen seconds, no one said a word in the public channel.
Finally, Tang Lingfeng broke the awkward silence.
Tang Lingfeng: I know you all sympathize with me, but I'm truly convinced of my defeat. As for why, you'll find out when you hear Zhan Nuan Huan's voice later. [sly]
[Lingfeng God!]
[Lingfeng God actually spoke for Zhan Nuan Huan! Who exactly is Zhan Nuan Huan?]
[I'm starting to have expectations for Zhan Nuan Huan. Lingfeng God's words are always pleasant to hear. Oh my, I can't wait to listen.]
[+1.]
[+2.]
...
Bai Zishu stared fixedly at the words Tang Lingfeng had just typed, as if he wanted to pluck each one out individually. Then he took a deep breath, glaring fiercely at Zhan Nuan Huan on the queue, grinding his teeth. It's him! What's so good about this guy? Isn't he just an unknown? How come even Tang Lingfeng is speaking for him?
Seeing the audience urging the lead actor on the public channel, the host finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least now everyone was looking forward to the lead actor, right?
"Now let's welcome our lead actor: Zhan Nuan Huan!"
As the audience debated, Ling Chunann finally brought another computer over and insisted on teaching Mo Yuzheng, who was learning how to use the software, where to send gifts, how to chat, and other basics.
Just then, the host called his name.
Ling Chunann was lifted to the top of the queue. He cleared his throat before unmuting himself and spoke with the voice he recorded for Xing Wushang. "Hello, everyone. I'm Zhan Nuan Huan."
[Dancing Grass! Awesome!]
[I originally had no hope for this new CV, but I didn't expect his voice to be so pleasant.]
[So cool! My ears are pregnant!]
...
The public channel seemed to be dominated by voice fans in an instant, suddenly appearing unusually harmonious. Those who had just demanded Zhan Nuan Huan's exit from the CV circle were now praising Qingqing Caodi's excellent judgment.
[Now that he's said a word, you're all praising him. Who knows what his voice is like when dubbing.]
Just as everyone was praising Ling Chunann, a white horse suddenly interjected amidst the heap of compliments. Although it sounded particularly discordant among the praises, it was obviously effective, causing the previously one-sided momentum to once again descend into chaos.
098: "Host, that white horse is Bai Zishu's alternate account!"
"Well, only he could do something so childish." Ling Chunann said, "I'm curious, how did the male lead fall for him in the original plot?"
"Probably because he's good-looking, plus he had a child with him." 098 said uncertainly, "Also, the male lead is set to be a particularly responsible man."
Ling Chunann nodded indifferently.
After the customary opening remarks, the live broadcast officially began.
This broadcast was mainly for the promotion of the upcoming radio drama "Spiritual Tribulation". Therefore, the selected segment for the live broadcast wasn't the climax but the buildup, just enough to tantalize the audience.
This segment wasn't long, and Ling Chunann had already memorized the lines. Coupled with his over a decade of experience in the entertainment industry, he immediately immersed himself in the role, not just putting on an act.
Watching his host recite the deeply emotional lines with an expressionless face, even though this was the case, it still suppressed Bai Zishu, who was far more famous in the CV circle, completely.
This was totally bullying. Thinking about how the other party was becoming increasingly insecure, 098 thought so, but as soon as it remembered that Ling Chunann was bullying Bai Zishu, its mood immediately improved.
In less than half an hour, the segment of the live broadcast had already been completed, and Ling Chunann ended the climax part with the last line.
As everyone listened intently, the plot suddenly came to a halt, and it took a while for everyone to come back to their senses.
[Zhan Nuan Huan is great! I'm your new brain-dead fan!]
"What's the next part of the plot? So curious, seeking spoilers! What happened to Xing Wushang?"
[Does anyone feel the same as me? When listening to the drama just now, I only paid attention to Zhan Nuan Huan's voice, and Yun Juan Yun Shu's voice seemed to be in the background.]
[I feel relieved seeing someone saying this. I also had that feeling. I heard only super gods can completely overshadow others with their voices. Zhan Nuan Huan is amazing!]
...
Just as everyone was praising Ling Chunann, a big rocket suddenly exploded in the public channel, followed by two, three... until the twenty-third one, when Zhan Nuan Huan's alternate account went offline, and the rockets finally stopped.
"Oh my god, where did this tycoon come from?"
"Tycoon seeks sugar daddy! Will warm the bed!"
"One rocket equals one hundred thousand. The tycoon just gave Zhan Nuan Huan two million three hundred thousand directly tonight! Looks like if the tycoon hadn't logged off just now, he might have continued to splurge!"
At this moment, Ling Chunann was looking regretfully at Mo Yuzheng, who had turned off the software. He reached out, "If you have too much money, just let me keep it."
