The Anti-Alpha Protagonist is Exceptionally Biased Towards Me (GL) - Chapter 66
The page loaded extremely quickly. Before long, Gu Yu knew what had happened.
Several Weibo hot search terms appeared:
#LuFengInterview#
#PathOfImmortalLuFeng#
#WrapUpInterview#
And the last one, where Gu Yu’s gaze finally settled:
#GuYu ActingLikeADiva#
Clicking on it, almost every hot search term and media repost was attached to a video.
The video was only three minutes long, featuring a personal interview with Lu Feng on the day the filming wrapped up.
: “Path of Immortals has wrapped up. Can Actor Lu introduce this TV series to the Little Maple Leaves?”
“Little Maple Leaves” was the affectionate nickname for Lu Feng’s fans.
The first question was very official, mainly to promote the new drama.
Lu Feng in the video was still wearing his costume from the play, a black mysterious robe. He was smiling at the camera, looking extremely friendly and approachable.
He said: “This drama mainly tells the story of…”
Gu Yu didn’t listen to this part. She slid her finger forward, skipping about ten seconds.
It skipped right to the end of the first question, and the interviewing reporter started asking the second question.
: “It sounds very interesting. It is said that this drama is adapted from the original work Path of Immortals . Related terms could still be seen on Weibo a few days ago. It seems netizens are very much looking forward to the final result.”
Lu Feng’s smile remained unchanged. He said, “We certainly won’t disappoint everyone’s expectations.”
: “We heard that Teacher Ming Xin also made a guest appearance in Path of Immortals . What kind of person do you think Teacher Ming Xin is?”
Lu Feng: “Teacher Ming Xin is very easy to get along with, lively, and very cute. I look forward to the next opportunity for collaboration.”
The reporter across from him said meaningfully, “Wow, it seems Actor Lu has quite a high opinion of Teacher Ming Xin.”
This statement was clearly hinting and guiding, implying a budding CP (couple) to the audience. If someone with bad intentions edited this clip, it would be another round of bundling marketing and CP fan frenzy.
Lu Feng, however, seemed completely oblivious and continued, “To be precise, most people in the Path of Immortals crew are very friendly. I had a great time in this crew.”
The reporter keenly caught something in his words and immediately asked, almost jokingly: “Most people? So, it seems someone isn’t easy to get along with?”
Lu Feng in the video immediately looked flustered, as if he had let something slip. After a moment, he smiled awkwardly and said, “I didn’t mean that, and it’s not that she’s hard to get along with…”
“You must not broadcast this part! You have to cut it out, so it doesn’t bring any negative public opinion to little Gu.”
: “Little Gu? Is Actor Lu referring to Gu Yu?”
Because she had to conduct the interview, the reporter had caught up on information related to Path of Immortals during this period and immediately thought of Gu Yu, who had been on the hot search not long ago.
Lu Feng pretended to be slightly annoyed, gently patting his mouth, and said, “Oops, look at my mouth.”
He quickly tried to cover up: “Gu Yu isn’t hard to get along with. It’s just that she’s not good at speaking. She hasn’t been in the industry for long, and she’s quite straightforward and doesn’t hide her true self.”
: “I heard many netizens comment online that Gu Yu looks like a little immortal, exuding a cold and detached aura. On behalf of curious netizens, how does she usually interact with the crew off-camera?”
Lu Feng: “Actually, it’s not as exaggerated as netizens say. Gu Yu is a person with quite a contrast, but it’s true that she easily gets lost in thought sometimes.”
“For example, let me share something funny. After I finish filming, I usually go to a corner to study the next scene. Maybe the location is too remote. Every time I see little Gu walking around the set, she never sees me when I call her, and she just walks past. Sometimes it’s really frustrating. I’m a big, strong A who’s over six feet tall, after all!”
Lu Feng spoke in a joking tone, with a smile on his face, genuinely seeming like he was just sharing a relatively funny incident.
The reporter laughed along to save face, teased him a few times, and then asked, “How was the experience of acting with Actor Lu and Gu Yu?”
Lu Feng: “It was great. And Gu Yu is still young. She has a lot of room for improvement in the future. I am very optimistic about her.”
: “Alright, thank you, Actor Lu, for today’s interview. Is there anything you would like to say to the Little Maple Leaves?”
Lu Feng: “Path of Immortals has wrapped up. I hope everyone will support it more, and I wish all the Little Maple Leaves happiness every day.”
: “Wow, Actor Lu is as concise as ever.”
The video ended here, the progress bar reaching the end.
The comments section below erupted.
: Isn’t this Gu Yu clearly acting like a diva?!
: Disrespecting a senior, ignoring a senior’s greeting; the senior immediately goes to study the next scene after filming, while she is still wandering around the set; a lot of room for improvement in acting? LOL, the subtext is that Gu Yu’s acting is terrible, isn’t it?
: I remember when I was learning piano, I was the student with the worst level and foundation in our class. My piano teacher praised me like this: You are the student with the most room for improvement in the class.
: Forgive me for laughing inappropriately.
: I’m seriously done. I really hate this alpha named Gu Yu. I disliked her the first few days she kept appearing on the hot search. Someone who popped up out of nowhere, occupying Weibo’s hot search resources. Annoying.
: Never liked Gu Yu. Beats 99% of netizens.
: What’s the point of being good-looking? Just a pretty face. They say she’s even acting with my Xin Xin. Taking my Xin Xin away, no thanks!
: By the way, haven’t you all watched the previous set live broadcast? Lu Feng and Gu Yu acted together, and after one scene, Lu Feng’s face was dark when he re-entered the camera. He must have been furious because of Gu Yu’s acting.
: Why, why, why! Why can she join the Path of Immortals crew!
: And she got extra scenes? Why give her extra scenes?
: It’s quite hilarious. I don’t know where the rumor came from that the original novelist felt Gu Yu was very suitable for the role and actively added the side plot. Keep that excuse for outsiders.
: (Copying someone else’s comment) You should know that the last person who had extra scenes actively added by the crew is now an international superstar, but that’s because they genuinely had the talent. But Gu Yu… I dare not say, afraid of being attacked.
: I regret thinking she was pretty before and wanting to follow her. I almost joined the fan group (whispering).
: People who act like a diva, get lost! What capital do you have?!
The popularity showed a continuous upward trend. Clearly, Lu Feng’s fans were very powerful in battle.
It must be said that Lu Feng’s words in the video were very clever and easily led to misunderstanding, but if someone were to truly argue with him, he could say, “I didn’t mean that. I was genuinely just joking and complimenting you. It’s your misunderstanding.”
In short, it was very irritating and hard to argue with. Arguing would only make people say you were being too serious.
Gu Yu was not greatly affected. She briefly looked over. Currently, the main focus was on her acting like a diva and having a powerful backer. Those criticizing her acting were only a small portion.
Gu Yu’s main focus was on the small portion that said her acting was poor.
Some people spoke up for Gu Yu but were quickly attacked by the people in the comments section. Some announced they were unfollowing and blocking her, and others said they would wait and see.
Gu Yu skimmed through the comments, her mind racing. The screen unconsciously dimmed.
It was only then that Gu Yu realized that the outside world reflected on the phone screen actually showed Miss Song’s figure.
She was sitting on the sofa. After turning her head, she indeed saw Miss Song standing behind her. She didn’t know how much of the entire video Song Xinran had watched.
Song Xinran’s expression was not good. Her bright face, when darkened like this, carried a subtle sense of pressure. Anger lingered around her. Her pheromones in the air were still unstable, influenced by her owner’s emotions, seeming like they were about to explode at any second.
“What a great interview, what a great veiled attack!” She gritted her teeth. “The words of these netizens are also excessive! Do they know the facts? They are criticizing you based on a few ambiguous words from this person named Lu.”
The person in the video just now looked familiar, being called “Actor Lu” repeatedly. Song Xinran didn’t remember his full name, but she recognized his face. He was from the Path of Immortals crew.
She clenched her fist, stating her final conclusion: “So annoying.”
The next second, her fist was enveloped by a soft palm.
Gu Yu’s expression remained unchanged, but she sighed lightly in her heart. It seemed Miss Song had watched the video and comments with her.
She gently and slowly unfolded Song Xinran’s fingers, feeling the red wine pheromones in the air slowly calming down and once again clinging stickily to her.
“…” Song Xinran’s voice stopped abruptly due to the warmth in her hand.
From Song Xinran’s perspective looking down, she could clearly see Gu Yu’s slender eyelashes trembling with every blink.
She didn’t withdraw her hand. Instead, she said seriously, “Don’t worry, I will resolve this matter. You… you must also not be sad because of these comments.”
Gu Yu thought that while Miss Song was extremely indulgent towards her, she also seemed to have a misunderstanding of her in some aspects.
Being so kind to an alpha whose relationship was only temporarily bound… it was hard to imagine how happy that person would be if Miss Song ever fell in love with someone.
Her heart felt a little heavy because of this speculation.
Gu Yu looked up at Song Xinran’s bright peach-blossom eyes, feeling slightly helpless, and carefully chose her words: “Miss Song, actually… I’m not that fragile. You can trust me appropriately sometimes.”
She had a strange feeling in her heart and didn’t want to appear too useless in Miss Song’s eyes, as if she needed to be helped with everything.
She was not the type to let others bully her. In her previous life, she ventured alone in the entertainment industry, transforming from an unknown small actor to a well-known movie queen. The difficulties and struggles she encountered were far more than imagined.
She had also long developed a strong heart that was not affected by external comments and a rare ability to handle public opinion on her own.
Meeting Gu Yu’s serious eyes, Song Xinran’s heart also calmed down.
Realizing that the two of them were still holding hands and that her pheromones were happily rushing towards Gu Yu as if they were worthless, she felt a little awkward and mumbled awkwardly, “Fine, fine.”
But she secretly made up her mind that if Gu Yu couldn’t solve it, she must vent her anger for Gu Yu!
After comforting Miss Song, Gu Yu proactively contacted Li Ruqin. It took some time, but she briefly explained her thoughts.
On the other side, Li Ruqin was stunned after hearing it: “Are you sure you want to do this?”
Gu Yu said: “Mhm, this kind of thing is hard to clarify. Otherwise, it will leave a handle for being too serious. Suppressing the hot search is also too costly. Moreover, since the other party has done this, why should we tolerate this? Let’s just follow this trend, increase the spread of the negative news, buy media releases, and focus on criticizing my poor acting skills.”
“And we must highlight the fact that ‘this evaluation of poor acting skills was said by Lu Feng.’”
It was rare for her to say so much at once.
Li Ruqin was still somewhat confused: “Why?” Gu Yu’s acting skills were not bad at all.
Gu Yu’s gaze went through the glass window, looking at the flying bird passing outside, her eyes tinged with a coldness.
“To find life from desperation.”
Since Lu Feng was subtly mocking and setting a trend, she would use marketing accounts and the media to bring this subtle sarcasm into the open, leaving the public with the impression that “Lu Feng’s words were actually criticizing Gu Yu.”
She would not step forward to try and point out or explain. If someone said she was being too serious? How could that be? It was the marketing accounts and the media that pointed out “Lu Feng was being sarcastic.” How did that involve Gu Yu?
This way, when the public opinion spreads and Path of Immortals airs, the words Lu Feng said in the video will better slap his own face, leaving one slap mark after another, won’t it?
