Chapter 221: Turmoil On Weibo

Gu Xiqiao was already used to reactions on Weibo, or more accurately, even if there was a big reaction, she wasn’t really concerned anymore. But the system was too bored today, and gave a live broadcast of the happening of Weibo’s grand occasion to Gu Xiqiao, showing her all the relevant information.

The reason was because of two Weibo posts that had been posted. Thanks to Yu Ning and his team’s effort, ‘River’s Lake’ had been completely edited. Even though they hadn’t scheduled the premiere, Cheng Zhou had sent the film to the film festival. Adding on ‘Empire Under Siege’, Gu Xiqiao was nominated for two awards.

One nomination was for Best Newcomer Award, and the other was Best Female Supporting Award.

When the news came out, Gu Xiqiao’s fans exploded. A newcomer who performed in two movies, and was nominated for two awards in both in the film festival. This was a testament to her talents. The news announcement coincided with a popularity poll on Weibo, in which the winner would receive an invitation to the New Year’s Eve party of Mango TV.

Since Gu Xiqiao had not shown her face for a long time, her fans saw the opportunity to cast their votes. They were extremely hardworking at it, and her rank quickly surpassed the top ranking popular star, a female in Chinese opera, occupying the top spot with a large margin.

This made the fans of the young female Chinese opera unhappy. Where there were fans, there were ponds, and you could never have too little trolls.

“Here I was thinking what kind of famous person it was, but Gu Xiqiao? Who the heck is she? I’ve never even heard of her! The votes are rigged for sure, I strongly request the official Weibo to clear it!”

“Yo, let me explain the comment above. She’s someone who specializes in acting as supporting female roles, third female leads and n numbers (smiley)”

“No matter how high the votes are, she’s just a support! (smiley) (smiley) (smiley)”

“I heard that she was nominated for best supporting actress, it really suits her.”

“If you have the ability to take first place, then use your ability and be a female lead in a movie!”

The trolls and keyboard warriors were in full swing with their ridiculing, and the more they talked, the more sense they made. To the point that there was a topic named ‘Let’s talk about that actress who only played a third female lead and is winning the popularity contest’ that made it to the hot topic list. Some had even commented on Gu Xiqiao’s Weibo, and her fans were in a frenzy, not knowing what to say to stop the slew of insults.

Just as the trolls were having the time of their life, the official Weibo of ‘Divergent Paths’ posted a Weibo.

‘Divergent Paths’ was a movie that was adapted from a game that had been popular on the internet. Cheng Zou had bluntly said before that ‘Divergent Paths’ would be an amazingly expensive Xianxia movie, as he wanted to make sure that the scenery from the game was as close to the original as possible, and was also diligent in choosing his cast. The male lead and supporting roles in the movie were all top tier actors, and while the second female lead fell a little short, the third female lead was Song Guanjing!

The line up of the cast was not in the least inferior to ‘Empire Under Siege’ and ‘River’s Lake’, and had even far surpassed the two movies. It was also an anticipated blockbuster film by millions of netizens.
