Chapter 40: Chapter 40: In the End, It’s Lai Yuaner Chapter 40: Chapter 40: In the End, It’s Lai Yuaner Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation On Friday afternoon, a post was pinned to the top of the Capital Movie Academy’s Forum.
[No morals, no limits, desperate for fa, undergoes plastic surgery, barges into audition scenes, hires internet rcenaries to create hype, shaless is not enough to describe, Oscar owes ‘popularity-leeching expert’ Tang Li—Bitch Tang a statuette!]
The Art College forum was not spared either.
—Bitch Tang, get out of our college!
—Tang Li is the sha of our college!
—Trash college harboring Bitch Tang and her scandals!
Similar posts flooded the front page of the forum in just two hours.
Wu Xuehan was shaking with anger when she saw these posts, but Tang Li’s reaction seed as if she wasn’t the person at the center of the public opinion storm.
“Ah Li, aren’t you scared?” Wu Xuehan was very worried.
These posts were clearly guided by internet rcenaries.
A multitude of voices turn lies into gold, and when said enough tis, falsehoods beco truths!
Tang Li finished reading the posts, then handed the cellphone back to Wu Xuehan.
In reality, fear didn’t co into it because she understood this was just the usual scheming and marketing ploys of the entertainnt industry.
Lai Yuaner’s role was the one she aid to snatch, and it was impossible that Lai Yuaner wouldn’t make a move.
If Lai Yuaner truly didn’t mind—
Then Ouyang Qian would not have resorted to a strategy of civility before force.
That night at 8, the country’s largest social dia platform released an official poster for “Original Sin”. In the poster, Lai Yuaner tilts her head up 45 degrees with closed eyes and a graceful side profile, with a surreal Red Spider Lily blooming behind her. On the left side of the poster, it reads—”Lai Yuaner as Ying Xuaner.”
“How co it’s Lai Yuaner…”
Back in the dorm room, Wu Xuehan still couldn’t believe the official announcent.
Wasn’t it Ah Li that the director had chosen?
Wu Xuehan looked up to see Tang Li who was hanging clothes on the balcony.
Many of her classmates who had read the original novel also ntioned that Ah Li exudes the vibe of the “Ying Xuaner” character from the book. Plus, just two days ago, there were leaks online that Ruan Jiang had recomnded Tang Li for the movie; how could it suddenly switch to Lai Yuaner?
Tang Li walked in from the balcony, imdiately noticing Wu Xuehan’s unhappy expression.
“What’s wrong?” Tang Li asked her.
Wu Xuehan wasn’t sure whether or not to tell Tang Li.
But even if she didn’t say anything, Tang Li would eventually see the news herself.
By tomorrow, the news would surely be buzzing everywhere.
Thinking this, Wu Xuehan stopped beating around the bush and handed over her cellphone proactively to Tang Li: “The official announcent for ‘Original Sin’ is out, Lai Yuaner is playing Ying Xuaner.”
At the news, Tang Li was only montarily taken aback, her expression and emotions barely fluctuating.
Under that official Weibo post, there were already more than 10,000 comnts.
The content unanimously was filled with joy and congratulations.
[Ahhh, 100% satisfaction from the book fans! When reading the novel, I automatically pictured Yuanyuan in the role, thanks Ningmang, thanks to a conscientious production team!]
[This is the first ti I’m so looking forward to a movie, confessing my love for Lai Yuaner, anticipating Lai Yuaner!]
[As a fan of the book, I’m so thankful, thank you for recreating the best Ying Xuaner!]
Tang Li didn’t continue to scroll through the comnts.
Wu Xuehan hesitated slightly but still spoke up: “It’s just the female second lead in a movie, it’s not that important. It’s quite normal not to be selected. Last ti, I auditioned for the role of a Maid in ‘Princess Huan Yue’, and they didn’t want either. They said I was too dark, that it would reflect darkness onto the face of the lead actress.”
Hearing Wu Xuehan’s sowhat clumsy attempt at comforting her, Tang Li smiled faintly: “You’re right, it’s normal not to pass an audition, so there’s no need to dwell on it.”
“Ah Li, do you really not mind?” Wu Xuehan asked, bringing her cute little face closer.
