Quick Transmigration: Rescuing the Blackened Male Lead - Chapter 422
Chapter 422: Heard You Got Shelved (27)
This IP-based fantasy drama also has a considerable following of fans of the original novel, who are keeping a close eye on every detail of the show.
If something doesn’t sit right with them, their complaints could easily drown out the voices of an entire crowd.
Huahua Devil: “My goddess Xueqing is truly stunning! Even her airport photos are perfect!”
A Sheet of Paper Away: “As a fan of the original novel, I strongly urge the director to recast! Boycott Tang Xiaoxing!”
Fiery Red Lips:”What’s this? The character of Princess Yinling is supposed to be so cute and full of charm. Can a vase like Tang Xiaoxing even pull it off? Seriously, they could’ve at least put more thought into casting.”
Eiffel Tower:”Haha, casting? Isn’t Tang Xiaoxing always getting roles through the backdoor?”
I Heard You Once Liked Me: “Hahaha, that strand of hair sticking up on Tang Xiaoxing’s head… watching her try to pat it down with such an innocent, clueless expression—it’s actually kind of cute.”
Eighteen-Year-Old Hormones:”Haha, I suddenly remembered that prize giveaway she posted on Weibo. It was hilarious. Was she being serious?”
Plain Water:”Ahhhh, am I the only one who noticed how handsome that guy in the light blue shirt is? I’m practically getting a nosebleed over here!”
Five Centimeters Per Second: “You’re not alone.”
Day Doesn’t Understand Night’s Darkness: “His shy smile is so cute! And it looks so natural. He’s like a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry. I’m definitely following him!”
Amid some of the harsh criticism, most people’s attention shifted toward Yu Jingchen, especially after learning that he was cast as the second male lead. This only heightened their anticipation.
However, there were still a few who were less optimistic, as reflected in these comments:
Blue Ocean:”Yu Jingchen? Never heard of him. His looks are almost too good to be true in this industry. Did he just come back from getting plastic surgery in X country? I don’t think he’s a good fit for the role of Qingsu.”
Green Apple:”Never heard of him either +1. Another one who probably got in through connections. Plus, he’s a newbie, so his acting skills can’t be that great. I’m disappointed.”
Pink Heartbeat: “From the looks of it, he’s had eyelid surgery and at least twenty-eight other procedures. Trust me, I’m a professional plastic surgeon—I can tell.”
Despite some skepticism, most fans, especially those who appreciate good looks, quickly began to dig for more information on Yu Jingchen.
In just a short time, Yu Jingchen’s Weibo followers shot up by over two million, proving just how powerful his appearance was.
In contrast, another male actor in the same production wasn’t in such a great mood.
Last night, Zhang Hao’s manager had told him that reporters would be ambushing them at the airport today, so Zhang Hao had made sure to prepare in advance, dressing up carefully.
But he hadn’t expected Yu Jingchen to steal the spotlight.
Zhang Hao’s assistant, Xiao Nan, grumbled, “Brother Hao, Yu Jingchen is only good-looking. Who do they think you are? How dare they compare him to you!”
Zhang Hao’s face darkened at the thought of Director Wang constantly praising Yu Jingchen on set, but he forced himself to maintain a calm smile.
“He’s just a newcomer, and he looks decent. It’s only natural that the public would be curious about him.”
Xiaonan muttered, “Who knows if he’s had work done on his face.”
Zhang Hao’s expression grew even more sour.
Though he and Yu Jingchen were different types, it was obvious Yu hadn’t undergone any surgery.
On the other hand, Zhang Hao had once felt insecure and had his nose done.
Thinking about Yu Jingchen’s natural talent for acting, Zhang Hao couldn’t help but feel even more envious and resentful.
As for Shen Mubai, she was once again trending online.
However, the “stray hair” incident didn’t turn into the usual barrage of harsh criticism.
Instead, the comments were oddly lighthearted, and she even gained a few more Weibo followers.
